Chapter 654 Contribution Value System

Gavin turned to the sacred strategist Bori and said, "Chief of Staff, tell me your idea."

The sacred strategists that Catherine transferred to Gavin's side all had honorary titles in the Conqueror Army. Those above the extraordinary level were unified as chiefs of staff, and those below the extraordinary level were staff officers. This was only temporary, for the convenience of identity identification, and more detailed rules would be formulated later.

His current question was somewhat deliberate. Before coming, Bori already knew that he was going to serve as the chief governor of the black-scaled lizardmen in the Thun Swamp, and had obtained first-hand intelligence about this place, but he did not make a more detailed plan, because even Gavin did not know how the situation would develop, and many things had to be adjusted according to the development of the situation.

Even if it was a temporary test, the exclusive priest of the lady of strategy was not at all nervous, and answered in a calm and slow tone: "The annihilation of the snake people mentioned by the lord before is a very good entry point. Through this controllable, small-scale war, all the black-scaled lizardmen can be mobilized. While fighting, various layout adjustments can be made. General Gregory's men will be placed in those black-scaled lizard tribes, and those who are difficult to control will be drawn out to form a black-scale navy and handed over to the lord. This is the short-term military plan.

The long-term military plan is to draw out a part of the elite to form a royal court army of no less than a thousand people to deal with various dangers in the swamp, especially those powerful monsters that can threaten the black-scaled lizard tribes, which will be the main force of the royal court army. To encircle and suppress the target, this will be a long-term task.

Second, form tribal militias in each tribe. Maintaining a certain load of militia training every month is enough to protect the daily safety of the tribe. When necessary, they can also be summoned to form a large army with good combat effectiveness around the Royal Court Legion.

To maintain the stability of the rule, military plans alone are not enough, and economic plans are also needed to assist. The Thun Swamp is a medium-level swamp with relatively sufficient nutrients and relatively rich production. However, from my understanding, the main source of food here is fishing and hunting. This industrial structure is too single.

It is very susceptible to the external environment. Once the catch is greatly reduced, there will be a food crisis, and the industrial layout must be adjusted and optimized.

This industrial layout can be started from two aspects, On the one hand, it is to expand the swamp aquaculture industry. I heard that some of your tribes have raised Gato swamp monsters, processed death cheese and death cream, and then sold them. This is worth promoting.

The second aspect is the swamp planting industry. Many dry and wet areas can be reclaimed into paddy fields and large-scale crops such as water rice and rice can be planted.

In these two aspects, I believe that the Black Scale Lizardman Tribe does not have much experience, and it is necessary for the Lord to send professionals to cooperate, especially the planting of water rice and rice, which requires more professional knowledge. "

Not only did Gregory nod his head repeatedly, but even Gavin couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "For this demand, you will directly connect with the City of Faith at that time. The development of the Lizard King's Court will complement the City of Faith. I will set up a lower city in the City of Faith, which is convenient for the stationing of the Black Scale Legion and for trade between the two. Most aquatic products have a short shelf life. Only when they can be converted into economic value can they stimulate various breeding and planting. "

"Since we are talking about trade, we have to mention the innovation of tools. The current transportation and fishing methods of the Black Scale Lizardmen are too backward, which seriously limits their catch and transportation quantity. In this area, human ships and dragnet fishing are more advantageous. Therefore, for a long time to come, there will be a big gap in the Tuen Swamp ships and high-quality fishing nets. "The advantage of Bori as the new vizier of the Lizard King's Court is that his background determines that his way of thinking is biased towards humans rather than lizardmen, especially in the use of tools.

The fishing of the Black Scale Lizardmen is not limited to fishing and forking. They also have their own woven fishing nets and various auxiliary traps for fishing. However, due to geographical restrictions, there are basically no ships. At best, there are some simple rafts as carrying and hauling tools, which makes it difficult to carry out large-scale dragnet operations.

"I can be responsible for the supply of ships and cargo, but they cannot be given away for free. You must buy them with your own money or use materials to offset the price. The same applies to other goods and human services, unless it is a construction project that we are collectively promoting." Gavin reiterated his previous decision.

"That's natural." Bona said as a matter of course.

"Anything else?" Gavin continued to ask.

"My understanding of the Black Scale Lizardmen is relatively limited. I can only formulate these general directions. The specific details can only be adjusted when they are implemented." Bona replied cautiously, "I believe that as long as these two aspects are handled well, the rest are minor problems."

"Then let's start with the allocation of personnel to form the Black Scale Legion." Gavin did not continue to ask.

He was quite satisfied with Bona's answer. The plan he gave did not have too many unexpected things. It was just a regular and step-by-step approach, and everything was based on stability.

And this is exactly what Gavin needs. He does not need the Thun Swamp to create millions or even tens of millions of value for him every year like the Colossus City and Blood Gorge City. He only needs the Black-Scaled Lizardmen here to develop stably and become a source of his naval forces to help the City of Faith defend the waterways. The aquatic products and fisheries produced will be enough to supply the City of Faith to a certain extent.

After all, in many places, swamps are often places of disaster, the origin of various disasters, or the monster tribes that grow and develop in the swamps, or the various viruses and plagues that spread from here. Even the powerful Kingdom of Cormyr is no exception. Guangze Swamp is a problem that has troubled them for countless centuries. It is said that it has been ruled by dark witches, as old as the Kingdom of Cormyr. The Thun Swamp has also left them helpless for decades.

The Far Sea Swamp and Thun Swamp occupy nearly half of the entire Goblin Border. Solving them basically clears the obstacles to unifying the Goblin Border.

While Gavin and his team were discussing the issue of managing the Thun Swamp, the remaining snakemen were all killed by the True Shadow Corps, including the snakeman curser who looked extremely ferocious and could not make any waves.

He was tyrannical and cruel, but he could not stand the six-armed snake demon who was more tyrannical and cruel than him. For these defective snakes, the six-armed snake demon was merciless.

Snake people, Naga, Medusa and six-armed snake demons, although they all have snake characteristics, their temperaments and species origins are not linked. They do not have good feelings for each other because of their snake characteristics. On the contrary, they all call each other deformed snakes and think that they are the model of wise snakes and the ultimate symbol of evolution. This often becomes the reason for them to go to war with each other.

In order to seek greater benefits, it is not uncommon for them to collude with each other.

After persuading Gregory, the rest of the things will be easy with internal and external cooperation.

Gregory said that he was not able to convince the Lizardmen army, but that was just his excuse. In fact, he had a great influence in the Black Scale Lizardmen tribe. At least half of the Half-Black Dragon Lizardmen stood on his side. After all, he had been the general of the Lizard Queen for half a century. Even if it was a rotten wood, he could carve a flower. Not to mention that Gregory's skills were not bad. He had been secretly buying people's hearts. He did not want to rebel against the Lizard Queen, but simply wanted to protect himself.

There were a total of 23 Half-Black Dragon Lizardmen and 200 Evil Tooth Lizardmen in the Black Scale Lizardmen tribe. Gavin took most of them from Gregory, leaving him only 10 Half-Black Dragon Lizardmen and 50 Evil Tooth Lizardmen. As for the ordinary Black Scale Lizardmen, they were not drawn at a ratio of one-fifth, but one-tenth. After all, the size of the Black Scale Lizardmen was larger than Gavin expected. Supporting a navy of more than 4,000 was not only a bit overloaded, but most importantly, there was not much room for them to use.

Two thousand is just right, which can ensure that they have good combat power and the difficulty of providing for them will be halved.

As for the difficulty of recruiting, it is much lower than expected, because the Lizard Queen has been pressing on them for too long, and they are almost suffocating. When they heard that they no longer had to serve this greedy and repeatedly tyrannical mistress, they wanted to celebrate with high fives. They were not as entangled as Gregory. Most black-scaled lizardmen could not think so far ahead, even half-black dragon lizardmen.

Controlling the Lizard Queen is equivalent to controlling the biggest killer to deter them. The Lizard Queen cannot summon them casually, but she can send those disobedient half-black dragon lizardmen and evil-toothed lizardmen to Vizeme Manor to listen to the teachings of the Lizard Queen. Since returning from there, these scum heads are really as honest and obedient as they can be, just ask not to be sent alone to meet the Lizard Queen.

The lizard queen, whose greedy appetite had been unsatisfied for a long time, was already in a semi-crazy state. She was a typical person who didn't recognize her relatives and looked at everyone as if they were food. Although they were not swallowed alive, they were not kept whole. They all went around in the lizard queen's stomach, and then under the forced order of the lord who was more cruel than the devil, they were vomited out alive, and then the priest was sent to perform regeneration and healing for them.

This was the treatment enjoyed by those dishonest black-scaled lizardmen at the beginning. Later, the lizard queen learned her lesson and no longer swallowed them whole. She directly bit them into pieces in her mouth, turned them into meat paste, and swallowed them into her stomach. Let's see what else you want her to vomit.

Unless you prove that you are valuable enough to enjoy the treatment of resurrection, these black-scaled lizardmen can only stay in the Vizeme Manor as real shadows to serve the lonely lizard queen, play the permanent death reincarnation game with her, and become the food that she can never finish eating. Even if they enjoy the treatment of resurrection, when they come back, their shadows are no longer simple shadows, but shadow shackles bound on them, becoming the hidden pawns of Lord Gavin lurking in the Black Scale Legion. They can only obey his orders and dare not make any rash moves, because if they are not careful, those shadows will devour their souls and replace them.

There is no need for many black-scaled lizardmen with such experiences. A dozen of them in the entire Black Scale Legion are enough. Under word of mouth, all black-scaled lizardmen comb their scales as smooth as they want. Now this new master can be as kind and benevolent as an angel, or as cruel and brutal as a devil. The lizard queen is just a tool in his hands.

Unlike the Lizard Queen, it is not up to him to decide which side of him you want him to use to treat you, but it depends on how you treat him. His angelic side is only shown to his subjects and servants, while his devil and demonic side is only shown to his enemies.

As long as an army can intimidate them and firmly control all their front-line commanders, the rest of the things will be extremely simple.

In particular, the garrison of the Black Scale Legion is not in the City of Faith at all, but in the Yewen Pond in the valley. They are disconnected from their hometown and isolated outside, and dare not act rashly.

Although the Black Scale Lizardmen have the blood of black dragons, they also have the defects of lizardmen on the ground, but the situation is less severe than that of most lizardmen, so it is naturally impossible for them to follow the Conqueror Army on the long migration journey.

Moreover, the cleanup of the Kou Tao fishmen's defeated soldiers on the Asaba River is being carried out in a closed manner. This new navy can be used. After a simple training and re-equipment, Gavin arranged for people to teleport them back to the Yewen Pond in batches-this is the benefit of mastering a large number of extraordinary spellcasters.

As long as Gavin is given some time, with the extraordinary spellcasters in his hands, he can teleport all the Conqueror Army to the valley.

But everything has a cost - just like everyone knows the convenience of airplanes, but still chooses other means of transportation. Teleportation is not only more convenient than flying, but also more expensive, especially for large-scale teleportation.

Even if these extraordinary spellcasters, especially those sacred strategists who are exclusive to the Lady of Strategy, are now serving him, he can't ask them to cast spells without paying any reward.

It's okay for a short period of time, one or two times, but there will definitely be problems over a long period of time. For these spellcasters, in addition to normal salary treatment, there is also a special set of spellcasting treatment, which gives corresponding rewards according to the spell ring or spell they use each time.

However, this kind of reward is not simply in the form of gold coins, but combined with the contribution system of the dog-headed people, and a certain degree of contribution value will be given each time. They can exchange the contribution value for what they need from the conqueror army.

Contribution points can be exchanged for a wide variety of things. The Conqueror's Army has a dedicated contribution point warehouse and list, which includes a variety of spellcasting materials, a variety of production and living materials, and corresponding equipment (ranging from low-level to high-level magic equipment), as well as some unconventional spell learning opportunities.

If the holder of contribution points wants, he can even use contribution points to exchange for various services from the Conqueror's Army, such as asking a higher-level spellcaster to cast a spell, asking a regular army to help him solve some personal affairs, or exchanging for spellcasting materials or tools that he cannot obtain personally, etc.

This contribution point cannot be bought with money. It is more popular than money in the Conqueror's Army. This system is still being gradually explored and improved. At present, it is only implemented for members of the Conqueror's Army. At that time, it will not be limited to spellcasters, but for everyone. As long as you can make corresponding contributions to the Conqueror's Army and refuse cash rewards, you can convert it into contribution points in proportion. All merits will have matching contribution point rewards. In addition to this method, there is no other way to get contribution points, and you can't buy it with money.

However, the Conqueror Army supports the transaction of contribution points, because if this kind of thing, which is more valuable than money, is prohibited from trading, it will definitely give rise to uncontrollable secret transactions, and even dark transactions such as violent threats. It is better to bring it under control, because the main purpose of contribution points is to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people to work and serve the Conqueror Army. Every contribution point is generated on this basis. This is enough. It doesn’t matter who consumes these contribution points.

With the development of the Conqueror Army, this contribution value will be gradually opened to outsiders and even some forces to quantify the relationship between the two parties and use external forces to help the development of their own territory.

Simply put, this is a special mercenary system, but this system is no longer one-way, but two-way. Now it is the Conqueror Army, and in the future it will be Gavin’s territory, which plays a transit role in it, mobilizing all human and material resources, and by the way achieving the desired goal.

In addition to the high price, another reason why Gavin does not use teleportation on a large scale is due to strategic considerations.

If everyone had teleported directly from Dalaoma to the valley at the beginning, there would be no Conqueror Army, no Conqueror Road, and a series of momentum along the way.

Gavin also placed his hope of conquering the rocky land on the Conqueror Army.

Due to the geographical location, the Lizard King's Court and the City of Faith complement each other and are inseparable.

Without the bottomless stomach of the Lizard Queen, the daily catch of the Black Scale Lizardmen immediately began to have a large surplus. These Black Scale Lizardmen experienced happiness and troubles for the first time. These aquatic products are not suitable for large-scale and long-term storage. Throwing them into the rotten water pool for pickling can greatly extend their shelf life. They have the blood of black dragons and can digest such food.

But now they have a better choice, that is, to trade with the Conqueror Army of the City of Faith, and obtain ironware, cheap food, high-quality fishing nets and other fishing tools, small and medium-sized fishing boats that are convenient for water hauling, a large amount of sea salt, methods for growing aquatic crops, methods for building paddy fields, and building breeding ponds from them.
