Chapter 796: Fire Burns the City

"I am prepared to fight this battle..."

Gavin did not hesitate to share the troops he had in hand and the tactics he planned to adopt with the two of them, because the next battle required the strong cooperation of the troops they led to have any hope of success.

"The commander actually has an air force in his hands!"

"Fire burns the city!"

After hearing Gavin's plan, even though the Golden Feather Witch and the Hanso Archdruid had extensive experience, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They were shocked by the power of the opponent and the viciousness of the opponent's methods.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Even if we gather the forces of all parties and confront each other head-on, our chances of winning are not great. We can only use clever strategies to narrow the gap."

Gavin said helplessly, "If we can't destroy it, we can't build it up. As long as we can save the residents here, even if this place is burned down, we can rebuild it afterwards. But if those citizens are swallowed by monsters, then this city will be really destroyed."

"This plan is indeed very bold, but it is full of too many variables. Once the intention is exposed in advance, it may fail, and it has very high requirements for command on the battlefield."

"So, I boldly ask the two adults to hand over the command of this war to me,"

"That's natural. Mr. Gavin is Ms. Strategy's elector. This plan was proposed by you. I won't leave it to anyone but you."

"I have no objection, but will the citizens of Uxmail City agree to this plan?"

"You just need to make sure that your troops are in place on time, and I will take care of the rest." Gavin said confidently.

"no problem."

"I need to go back to the front line to negotiate. While allocating troops as much as possible, we must also let the main force hold back the Tukan people as much as possible so that they have no energy to send more troops to assist this activated plant army."

"If there are no other problems, then let's take action. The time left for us is very limited." Gavin said with high fighting spirit.

Not only was he no longer afraid of the coming war, but he was full of expectations.

Facts have proven that there is no more convenient way to quickly establish contact with local forces than to join forces to fight against powerful enemies.

As long as he can command and win this war, he will not only establish a relationship with the Leatherman Kingdom, but also establish a good relationship with the local forces in the giant valley, paving the way for the next plan.

After sending away the Golden Feather Witch and Hanso Archdruid, Gavin immediately met with the three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood. They also played an important role in his plan.

In the city of Uxmail, these local snakes were more intimidating and had more say than his powerful dragon.

After listening to Gavin's introduction to the enemy, the three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood suddenly changed their expressions and asked repeatedly, "General, are you mistaken? How could there be such a powerful dark force lurking in the Lesser Forest? "

"There is no mistake. This news was sent by the Golden Feather Witch of the Leatherman Witch Council and the Hanso Druid of the Les Order."

Gavin waved his hand and directly cast the phantom of the three people who originally discussed the origin of the enemy, "They were in a hurry to go back to mobilize their troops, so they did not have time to meet with the three leaders in person. The Tukan Eagle Knights who have been harassing us are not just for The food was blocked in the city of Usmail, and it was used as a cover for this withered army, so that we could not detect their invasion immediately. "

"If everything is true, wouldn't our city of Uxmail be destroyed overnight?"

"We definitely can't defend it on our own, but with the intervention and help of General Gavin, the Leatherman Kingdom, and the Rice Order, we should still have hope."

"General, you must help us. You cannot just sit back and watch this city be destroyed."

The three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood no longer questioned the authenticity of the news, but looked at Gavin eagerly. Not to mention that their main force was at sea, not in Usmail City. Even here, facing dozens of people They were also helpless with the army of demon tree people led by the demon tree.

But the importance of the city of Uxmail to them is self-evident. Without this city, they are no different from the helpless pirates at sea.

As for the fact that Gavin attracted the enemy, they never mentioned it. That was something only fools did. They had already made a mistake once before and would never do it a second time.

"Even if there is no request from the three leaders, I will not sit idly by and ignore it." Gavin revealed his true purpose, "We have formulated a battle plan with a high chance of winning, but the price we pay is also high. It will take three more Leader, lead your brothers to cooperate."

"General, if you need anything from us, just ask us and we will do our best to cooperate."

"We are now grasshoppers on a rope. General, there is no need to hide anything."

"Why don't we listen to the General's plan first?"

In comparison, Duis, the boss of Sword Assassin, is more stable and cunning. Even when he is shocked, he does not make promises easily.

"The enemies we face this time are different from the flesh-and-blood ones in the past. Swords have a very limited effect on them. On the contrary, their attacks are fatal to those soldiers.

With the earthen walls of Uxmail City, even with the assistance of the Leatherman Kingdom and the Leith Order, the possibility of us being able to defend it is almost zero.

In this case, we might as well use this city as a trap, let their main force in, and then set it on fire. Gavin patiently explained the plan again.

"What? You want to set fire to the city? No, absolutely not. Wouldn't this mean destroying our city with your own hands?"

"Third brother, don't be so excited. This is a war. There are bound to be casualties in a war, and a price must be paid. Since the other side is powerful, if we can both lose with the other side, even if it costs the city, it is a good choice. At least it can hold the enemy back. Let’s die together.”

"All plants are afraid of fire, and those dark activated plants are no exception. This is indeed an effective way to kill enemies, but what will happen to the citizens if they set fire to the city?"

The reaction of the three brothers of the Sword Assassination Brotherhood was much more intense than Gavin expected, which is normal. After all, this city is their foundation.

"Our burning of the city is planned and selective. It does not mean burning the whole city. At least the dock warehouse area and your shipyard are not within this scope."

Gavin made an in-depth analysis, "We can evacuate the citizens to this area in advance, but if the fight actually breaks out, it will be difficult to control the strength. The safest way is to let them take shelter temporarily on the battleship transport ship of the Cormier fleet. There shouldn't be any problem if you put five or six thousand people on it."

Although the Kingdom of Cormyr's grain transport fleet has completed unloading grain, the materials and goods for the return trip have not yet arrived, and they have not returned yet. Gavin naturally made full use of it.

"This is indeed a good method. As long as we can ensure that the citizens are safe, even if the city of Usmail is completely burned, we can rebuild on the ruins."

"General, do you want our brotherhood to help mobilize the citizens of Uxmail City and evacuate them to a safe non-war zone?"

The three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood have already compromised in their words, because no matter how they repeatedly weigh the strength comparison between the two sides, they cannot find a second way to win.

"Yes, there is not much time left for us. It is too late to explain too much to those citizens. They must be forcibly moved out of the war zone to reduce casualties. Only your brotherhood can do this. But in this way, you are indispensable He has to bear a lot of infamy." This is the real reason why Gavin brought in the three leaders of the Brotherhood of Swords.

"Our brotherhood has suffered a lot of infamy in Uxmail City. We don't care if there is one more. As long as their safety can be ensured, the city can be rebuilt."

"This stigma is only temporary. When the war comes, they will be grateful to us."

"Our brothers will take over this job."

The three leaders of the Sword Assassination Brotherhood were more forthcoming than Gavin expected, at least they didn't need him to persuade them with facts and reasons.

"There is a problem with this matter. Those Tukan eagle knights have been hovering above our heads. If we organize a large-scale transfer of citizens, wouldn't we be exposed to their sight? This will not only cause death for those citizens, but also It may expose our strategic intentions and cause the plan to fail." Duis, the boss of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood, pointed out the difficulties they need to face.

"I have already considered this. You just need to prepare. I promise that when you officially start the operation, they will not have any impact on you." Gavin did not explain too much about this matter and just said All inclusive.

Duis stood up and interrupted the other two brothers' questions. "Time is tight and the task is heavy. We won't waste too much time, General. We will organize the manpower and mobilize the citizens to carry out corresponding actions." Retreat work.”

The other party is not an ordinary person. Since he dares to say this, he must have already prepared corresponding measures, and he is still unwilling to make it public. Asking more questions will only increase embarrassment.

"Then please leave it to the three leaders. I still have a lot of preparation work to do, so I will send you there not far away."

"Stay, let's go."

The three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood left in a hurry. Before they saw the enemy, they wanted the citizens of Usmail City to evacuate, and they did it in just one day, even against the Sword Thorn Brotherhood. Speaking of which, it is not an easy task.

"It's such a thick fog. It's foggy out of thin air at this time. This is not a naturally formed dense fog, but the seventh-ring spell of the druids that controls the weather. Those Tukan Eagle Knights can't see the situation on the ground, so naturally they have no way to deal with it. We pose a threat."

"We didn't think of such a simple method."

"This is the importance of knowledge. In this area, we are really lacking."

"In this way, we don't have to worry about those Tukan Eagle Knights, but it will cause great inconvenience to our subsequent evacuation."

"Nothing is perfect in this world, so just bite the bullet and push for it. Now we have no choice."

"You don't question the credibility of this matter at all? What if this is a trap set by the other party?"

"What kind of set?"

"In order to carry away the residents of Uxmail City, what should we do if those citizens who boarded the Cormyr fleet did not unload them at all and were transported directly back to the Kingdom of Cormyr? Just look at the army of immigrants he created. Full of thirst for population, who knows whether all his immigrants are voluntary or coerced?”

"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Do you think General Gavin is as short-sighted as you? Just look at the military supplies he transported and you will know that he came here this time to have a big plan."

"That's right, he brought back 100,000 immigrants in Tessel at once. Even if he was concerned about immigrants, he would not take a fancy to the thousands of people in Usmail City. To him, we are nothing. Smel City is just a springboard, and entering the entire Giant Valley is probably just the first step. It will eventually lead back to Sesk. Compared with the golden road flowing with gold, the Giant Valley Hongdao is too unattractive. ”

"Brother's analysis is right, but my knowledge is shallow."

"You have to change your thinking in time. The realms of both parties are different, and the perspectives of looking at things are different. Things that we regard as treasures may not be valued by others. When they are developing, the little things that slip through their fingers will be lost. Enough for us to make a lot of money.

You have all come into contact with Bede, the previous president of the Qianshou Chamber of Commerce, but do you know that a year ago, he was just a businessman with three or four carriages. "

"Hiss... Brother, are you saying that the other party became the president of a chamber of commerce just because he embraced General Gavin's thigh?"

"Yes, several of his departure points are related to this general. This time when transporting military supplies to the Eastern Region, he relied on his relationship to board the ship of the Cormier fleet. Once this transaction is successful, , the other party will take another extremely critical step. Making more money is second, and the most important thing is to take the opportunity to spread the business network to the Eastern Region. I believe I don’t need to say more about what this means. "

"A regional chamber of commerce and a cross-regional one are completely different concepts. Both the ability to resist risks and the speed of development will be greatly improved."

"This is also the great thing about this general. He uses other people's money and power to do his own things. I heard that in this Cormyr fleet, all the food and equipment are provided by those merchants, and The transport fleet belongs to the Kingdom of Cormyr. He has not paid a single gold coin from beginning to end, but he has absolute dominance and even makes less money than those merchants. "

"This is the power of channels. Who allowed him to control those channels that neither the merchants nor the Kingdom of Cormyr have? Only by threading the needle and thread can everything take shape. What he is using now in Uxmail City is also a channel. Not only did the Leatherman witches come to us, but even the Rice Order had to rely on his power. Compared with them, our brotherhood is not important enough. "

"You don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"

"What does eldest brother mean, is that we should also hold on to this big man's lap, use his channel power to develop, and take advantage of the opportunity to grow?"

"Actually, we are already doing it now. We are gathering the fleet back. Isn't it just to take the opportunity to get out of the Eastern Region?"

"I mean, our approach is a bit too conservative. Instead of investing part of the fleet, we will launch all qualified ships."

"Hiss... Brother, you are crazy. Doing this is equivalent to being completely tied to General Gavin. If we succeed, we will certainly soar into the sky and directly break the predicament that has been trapped in the Eastern Gulf. But once we fail, we will also be It will never recover, and it will be far less stable than it is now.”

"You still haven't understood the situation yet. When the time comes, it won't be something we don't think about, but we will be put on a burning rack like today. We have to do this. Instead of being passive when the time comes, it is better to take the initiative. "

"It's a bit too early to talk about this now. Our most important thing now is to survive the current crisis. How about this, how about we make a bet with this war?"

"What bet?"

"Just bet on winning or losing. If we lose, there is no need to say more. Not only will our strength here be severely damaged, but General Gavin's plan will also be frustrated, and he will have to fight against Teflam in Cesk, that is, There is no need to borrow his channel power.

But if he wins, he will gain a firm foothold here, and his influence in both the Giant Valley and the Leatherman Kingdom will be greatly increased. At that time, we can let go and join his ranks, fully What do you think about using his influence to develop yourself? "

"This is not a bet, this is a sound suggestion in itself. Just follow what the elder brother said."

"I agree."

"Then this matter has been settled. However, our most important task now is to arrange the evacuation of the citizens of Uxmail City. You must supervise it. You should know better than me what the virtues of those people are. , We must prevent the situation of taking advantage of the situation. From now on, they are our biggest bargaining chip in cooperating with General Gavin. Don't lose all the people's hearts. If they turn around, they can exclude us from the ranks of cooperation. "

"I'm afraid it's difficult to guarantee this, especially for violent matters. Even we are doubtful about the enemy's attack, let alone the citizens. It's difficult to put the plan into practice without some coercive measures."

"I know, so I ask you to prevent serious violence, try not to cause death, and at the same time, do not provoke their joint resistance. If necessary, you can make certain commitments."

"Hey... I'm afraid even if we make a promise, they won't believe it."

"Actually, it's easy to deal with ordinary citizens who have no background. I'm afraid that the Shadow Union and the Skeletons will help them secretly create troubles and encourage those ignorant citizens to fight against us."

"What we should be most afraid of now is not that they will show up, but that they will not show up. Don't you think this is an opportunity?"

"Brother, do you want to go to war with them? Uproot them and completely monopolize the entire Usmer City's industry?"
