Chapter 639 Stealing Faith? !

There is indeed a Red Valley reclamation area to the south of the rocky land, but it has not yet fallen into Gavin's control. Even if it falls into his control, it is not the best choice, because it belongs to the Kingdom of Cormyr. Even if it is conferred on him, he still needs to pay taxes to the kingdom. The Goblin Borderland belongs to his own development, but he has no obligation to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Cormyr.

The third strategic goal is the Dragon Coast. This place is not close to the Dragon Coast, but not far away. With the subsequent reconstruction of the road, it will be possible to reach the city of Persku within two days.

At that time, it will not be Persku that blocks their way south, but it will be sandwiched between the Bridge of Gods and the City of Avanso. As long as the rulers of the city of Persku are not stupid, they will slowly turn away from other cities on the Dragon Coast and join Gavin's ranks. After all, the coalition forces of the Dragon Coast cannot be stationed in the city of Persku.

The entire Conqueror's Road will be completely connected, and Gavin's influence will continue to spread to the surrounding areas through this road. The influence and control will even be above a country, and the potential of this road will be tapped to the extreme.

At this moment, the belief in Lady Strategy has reached an extreme among the Conqueror Army, and Gavin, who is both the elect and the supreme commander, has naturally reached the extreme that mortals can achieve. At least the Tethyr immigrants who followed him all the way from Dalauma are definitely worshipful, and the immigrants from the Dragon Coast are a little worse, but they are also respectful. This does not require the magical effect of the Road of Destiny at all. Gavin created it directly with his own hands.

What is the concept of worship?

His orders will be executed unconditionally and without thinking. Even if Gavin asks them to jump off the Bridge of Gods and Humans, they will not hesitate at all, because they firmly believe that Gavin must have his own reasons for doing so, even if it means death.

If Gavin is a god, they will become his first batch of fanatics.

Now Gavin just asks them to pray to Lady Strategy who has not completely left. There is no way they can have any hesitation. Under the leadership of those exclusive priests of Lady Strategy, everyone began to recite the three core doctrines of Lady Strategy's ascension to the godhood.

The first time was still a bit incomplete, but by the second and third times, thirty or forty thousand voices converged into one voice at the same time, shaking the heaven and earth.

A force that seemed to be substantial gathered right above the bridge of man and god, but it did not go to Lady Strategy, but was attracted by Gavin and the strategic plunderer in his hands, gathered around him, and then, with the help of the voter ability, continuously injected into the piece of land designated by Gavin.

What is the voter? What is the voter ability?

It is the human spokesperson chosen by the gods to collect believers and exercise some human rights on their behalf.

The voter ability is a weakened version of the divine ability. It is certainly not a rootless duckweed, but is supplied by the power of the gods. Therefore, even if the gods have the ability to create a large number of voters, they will not do so, because this will occupy a large amount of their divine power.

The power of the gods comes from the faith of those believers. In the final analysis, the voter ability is actually supplied by faith.

Gavin's current situation is to directly skip the goddess of strategy and absorb faith from the essence, which is typical of no middlemen and no price difference.

It sounds very good, but it is extremely difficult to do it.

Unless those who pray treat you as a god and serve you, and you are on par with that god, and you also have the ability to store faith.

Gavin meets these two points. He himself does not have the ability to store faith, but the war plunderer does. It not only has the divine spark, but also the plan to plunder divinity that Ms. Strategy has just injected. The soul can absorb it, not to mention faith.

Faced with this situation, Ms. Strategy and her kingdom of God, who were about to disappear, were obviously stagnant, and their eyes almost popped out.

Gavin has no middlemen and no price difference here, so where can she put this god?

For the gods, this is the most serious felony - stealing faith.

Faced with this situation, the gods will first punish this guy with divine punishment and chop him off first.

It is called stealing faith if it is done secretly behind the scenes, but it is still called stealing when it is done in front of the victim?

Moreover, this chosen one is too unique. In the whole of Faerun, I am afraid that no one except me will negotiate and trade with this chosen one.

The problem is that I rely on this chosen one far more than this chosen one does on me. The strategic lady who is proficient in strategy knows deeply that she won the war with the plunderer Garagos not only by relying on her own strength, but also by the perfect war preparation of the Conqueror Army.

If the Conqueror Army, under the leadership of Gavin, had not stood firmly on my point and reversed the situation, the plunderer Garagos would have been supported by the Conqueror Army, and I would have led the monster army. Even if I was proficient in strategy, planning, and tactics, I would have ended up in failure in the end, and the plunderer would have taken advantage of the opportunity to seize part of the strategic planning priesthood.

God and their priesthood are just more professional and deeper representatives in this regard. Not believing in her does not mean that there is no plan, no strategy, and no tactics at all. It is nothing more than a matter of the degree of compatibility.

As long as the number of mortals is large enough and gathered enough, they can in turn affect the gods and his priesthood. She can seize part of the plunder and destruction, and give birth to plans to plunder and destroy the priesthood. The plunderers can also in turn seize part of the plans and strategies. Born out, everything is relative.

The most important thing is that as one of the keys to stealing his own faith, War Reaver took the initiative to help transform it and gave it to Gavin in public. It seemed that he had unknowingly acquiesced in this matter.

As the guardian of plans and strategies, the Red Knight's brain was somewhat shut down, and he was quickly calculating the pros and cons of this matter.

This thing should not happen to all his followers. It is currently limited to the army of conquerors, and will also be limited to Gavin's territory in the future. After all, this requires the highest trust in him for this situation to occur.

Moreover, it has a limited scope and must be within the coverage radius of the War Raider. After all, Gavin himself does not have the ability to store and absorb faith. The main cause is the divine spark in the War Raider and the planned divinity injected by himself.

This is the price you have to pay if you want to quickly gather your soul through Gavin. Where is the best of both worlds in this world?

While you are robbing others, you will become the target of others' robbing if you are not careful.

After many calculations, the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, and it seemed that I could only hold my nose and endure it.

It seems that his new chosen one is a double-edged sword. If he uses it well, it can put him on the fast track to continue to ascend to the gods. If he doesn't use it well, he may be replaced by himself. He must devote more energy to keeping an eye on him in the future. He just made it.

After leaving a warning to Gavin to "use this trick with caution", Ms. Strategy completely disappeared without a trace. This was regarded as acquiescence to Gavin's direct stealing of part of his beliefs, and she regarded it as the person she promoted this time. Not a chosen one, but a godly one, whose contribution to him would be worthy of it anyway.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became much clearer.

This may not be a kind of temptation for Gavin. With this tactic, use it with caution, he has completely figured out the bottom line of Ms. Strategy's tolerance for him. He can be free to do some things in the future, because in addition to betraying her, There is no greater crime than declaring war on her and trying to seize her godhood.

The magic field created by the ability of good weather is to use the power of faith to bless and strengthen this land to form a land of faith, which is essentially the same as the Bridge of Humans and Gods.

It's just that the faith of a single person is too weak, and they are not qualified to use the power of faith. They must use the gods to gather the faith of countless people together in order to produce various magical effects.

What is created by good weather is more appropriate to be called a place of faith and a manor of faith than a magic field or a magic manor.

With the continuous infusion of the power of faith, it is difficult to directly see the changes in the land Gavin selected from the outside, but even ordinary people who are not sensitive to magic can clearly sense the changes. This land becomes unique, especially the army of conquerors. They can clearly feel their close connection with that land, just like the bridge between humans and gods under their feet. They feel friendly when they see them, just like Like their homeland after a long absence, they have no doubt that this land will provide them with protection and sustenance.

The addition of a large amount of faith only accelerated the process of this matter, but did not provide additional bonuses for this ability and open up more magical lands. After all, this was just the power I borrowed from Ms. Strategy, and I was not yet a true god. slander.

After the transformation of the magic land was completed, Gavin loudly said again: "Now I declare that this bridge is named the Bridge of Faith, the Bridge of Faith in Sandakol, this city is the City of Faith, and this manor is the Manor of Faith. , the City of Faith and the Manor of Faith of the Red Knight, we will once again take a half-month break. We will use half a month to open up the Manor of Faith and replant winter wheat to establish the basic outline of the City of Faith. We will continue to create our own miracles with our hands. Everyone will rest on the spot and start building the city tomorrow.”

"The Bridge of Faith! The Bridge of Faith! The Bridge of Faith!"

"City of Faith! City of Faith! City of Faith!"

"Faith Manor! Faith Manor! Faith Manor!"

The fervent shouts resounded through the sky again, and Gavin suddenly realized that he had the talent of being chosen by God, and he could easily arouse their emotions.

After doing this, Gavin didn't stop for a moment and went straight to the sky directly above the east entrance of the Bridge of Faith. There were also several outsiders who witnessed the entire battle from beginning to end. They seemed to have no involvement in the battle at all, but And inseparable from them.

If Tynarasta, the crown princess of the Kingdom of Cormyr, had not assisted in holding down Mamon, the chairman of the Dark Castle, although the Conqueror army had prepared other back-ups (Catherine had been secretly at that time and did not take action, in order to prevent unexpected situations) ), but I have to admit this sentiment, especially if you have to deal with them for a long time in the future.

The most important thing for people is to be self-aware.

The army of conquerors is indeed very powerful now. It has shaken the situation in many places along the way, including the Dragon Coast, which has dozens of small and medium-sized cities and five or six large cities. They have stirred up chaos from top to bottom.

But that all took advantage of their internal weakness and lack of unity. The Kingdom of Cormyr was different.

They have been established for a thousand years. Although there have been several setbacks and declines in the middle, the foundation of the country has never been truly shaken. The current king, Yasan IV, is also known as the Lord of Rejuvenation. In the thirty years under his rule, although the Kingdom of Cormyr has not expanded its territory on a large scale, its internal governance can be regarded as unprecedentedly fair and open.

He vigorously rectified corruption and the increasingly serious problem of noble land annexation, reaffirmed the foundation of the Kingdom of Cormyr, made the Purple Dragon Legion and the Battle Mage more systematic and standardized, and vigorously used those bankrupt nobles and small and medium-sized knight families, injecting more vitality into the Kingdom of Cormyr, and firmly controlled the entire kingdom from top to bottom around him and the Obaiszir royal family.

In diplomacy, he is tough but gentle. Most of Faerun knows that the old dragon in the Kingdom of Cormyr is soft but not hard. If you fight him hard, you will find that his teeth are harder, his claws are sharper, and his body is larger.

The only thing that people criticize is that Azan IV likes to use all kinds of spies, from nobles and battle mages to merchants and peddlers. It seems that there are royal spies who are directly loyal to him. He seems to know everything that should be known and what should not be known. This makes the nobles of the Kingdom of Cormyr cautious about their words and deeds, fearing that if they accidentally say something wrong, it will be heard by Azan IV.

Although Azan IV is very generous and never cares about harmless jokes and rumors of his romantic affairs, his status is there. When he laughs and discusses with you, you discuss the gossip about him behind his back yesterday, anyone would tremble.

If it were placed in the valley, the size of the conqueror army would be comparable to the population of most of the valleys.

But in Tethyr, it is only half the population of the city. The same is true in the Kingdom of Cormyr. They have three metropolises with a population of over 100,000, and countless towns of all sizes.

They claim to have 100,000 Purple Dragons alone, not to mention the various local garrisons, navies, etc.

Even if this is a false number they boast about, if you count the borders they need to defend, there are definitely 50,000 of them. In order to monitor the actions of the Conqueror Army, they casually drew out a Purple Dragon Army of 3,000, which shows their war potential.

Next, Gavin wanted to force the Kingdom of Cormier to grant him the Baron of Rockland, but he couldn't force them with force at their doorstep. Even if the size of the Conqueror Army doubled, Gavin had no confidence in breaking through the gates of the Kingdom of Cormier and crossing the country.

Creating the momentum that he could lead the Conqueror Army to completely clean up the Rockland, and bringing huge benefits to the Kingdom of Cormier from top to bottom to induce them to make this decision, that would be the wisest choice.

When Gavin arrived in front of the Crown Princess and the others, the chairman of the Dark Castle, Manmon, had already disappeared. He had already run away a second before the incarnation of Lady Strategy descended and ascended to God. Not only because the cunning old fox knew that their disruption this time had completely failed, but also because he was afraid that the incarnation of Lady Strategy would kill him here by the way.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highnesses. We will all remember this kindness from top to bottom. It's just a small gift, not a respect. Please accept it." Gavin stretched out his hand, and three palm-sized but extremely exquisite gift boxes flew directly into the hands of the three people in the Kingdom of Cormier as if they had wings.

Although it was only the Crown Princess who took out the gift, the other two would play an important role in the history of the Kingdom of Cormier in the future. Gavin would naturally not ignore them. Taking the opportunity to build a good relationship with them would definitely be a profitable business.

"General, you are too polite. It's just a small favor for us. And with your foresight, even if I didn't help to contain the dark wizard, I believe you have prepared a corresponding backup plan." The Crown Princess's eyes flickered, with a complexity that could not be concealed. In addition to the inexplicable emotions, there was also admiration from the heart.

She was really enlightened today. It turned out that the war could be fought in this way. They played the plan, strategy and tactics to an extreme.

Let's see how many strategies and tactics they used in this battle?

The first move was called the Sudden Deception. It used the inertial thinking of road paving to lure the Lizard Queen and her Lizardman army to the direction of the Far Sea Swamp, reducing the number of enemies she had to face at the same time from three to two.

The second move is called "surprise attack". It uses an unprecedented human response to God to build an unprecedented bridge of faith in just a few minutes. When seeing this move, not to mention the shock of the monster forces, they are no less shocked than them. If this move is used on them, they will not be prepared, because they never thought that God can be used by them and become a chess piece on their chessboard.

The third move is to show weakness to the enemy and lure the Lizard Queen to the Bridge of Faith.

The fourth move is the decapitation tactic, which uses the characteristics of the Lizard King's Court to subdue the Lizard Queen and use her power to change the entire war situation.

The first four moves are still more or less in the mundane category, but the nature of the latter ones is completely different.

The fifth move was the god-ascending tactic. They made full use of the fact that Lady Strategy had ascended to the godhood and turned it into a part of their war, because they knew that the enemies of the Goddess of Strategy would jump out when she ascended to the godhood. No matter which evil god attacked, the monster forces of the Conqueror Army were the only ones they could use. They had to start this war of gods at a disadvantage. The plunderer Garagos was just a target on this huge chessboard and was doomed to fail.

The sixth move was defensive counterattack.

The seventh move was pocket formation.

The eighth move was reverse bead curtain.

The ninth move was God borrowing the power of others. Lady Strategy's winning move was not out of thin air, but the power of faith in victory gathered by the comprehensive counterattack launched by the Conqueror Army against the monster army. In front of this move, the plunderer Garagos became the main formation that was frantically attacked by the defeated army and was directly restrained. Then, with the help of the thunder rush ability of a unique tree man, he was killed in one fell swoop. If this wasn't God borrowing the power of others, what else could it be?
