Chapter 807 Gavin's grand plan in the Giant Valley

Gavin smiled and gestured to them, then floated into the air with ease and said loudly: "The main force of the enemy attacking Usmer City has been completely annihilated by us. It is only a matter of time to eliminate the remaining monsters.

Please do not be sad, do not despair, the suffering is only temporary and will eventually pass.

As long as our people are still there.

We can re-pave the destroyed streets.

We can rebuild the burned houses.

We can also earn the lost wealth with our hard-working hands.

And I will always be with you."

This speech not only appeared in the ears of every Usmer citizen in the dock area, but also synchronized the projection mode to every warship, so that the citizens there could also hear it, fully expanding the influence to the extreme.

"Long live the commander."

"Long live the commander."

"Long live the commander."

Under the leadership of those who care, cheers first sounded from the dock area and spread throughout the Cormier fleet.

After chatting with several representatives of the citizens of Usmael, Gavin went to the three leaders of the Sword Brotherhood again.

Gavin said straight to the point: "Although we have wiped out this withered army, the Lord of Withered, the instigator of this siege, is still entrenched in the Lesser Forest. We will launch a counterattack against him to eliminate future troubles."

"The one who attacked our Usmael city before was not the main force of this monster?" The three leaders of the Sword Brotherhood were dumbfounded.

They who were running on the front line had a clearer understanding of this war than those citizens.

Whether it was the magic trees or the two elemental armies, they had far exceeded their cognition and were completely out of the secular scope. Being in it, they had a desperate sense of powerlessness.

A withered army attacking their Usmael city was already so terrifying, so how powerful would the enemy as the main force be? How should the next war be fought?

It was Duis, the leader of the Sword Brotherhood, who had the strongest psychological quality. He adjusted his mentality immediately and asked, "Commander, what do you need us to do now? Just tell us, and we will do our best to cooperate."

The stronger the despair was at that time, the more shocked they would be when they got the news of victory, and the deeper their respect for Gavin would be.

They now clearly realized that the two sides were not on the same level at all, and the other party could destroy them with just a wave of his hand, without having to do it himself.

"There are two things you need to do now."

"Please let me know, Commander."

"First, organize people to wipe out the remaining remnants of the withered army, and then clean up the battlefield.

My cloaked warriors will stay to assist you. In this process, you must pay attention to the toxins carried by the withered ones, and be cautious to ensure that after they die, all their bodies are classified and collected.

After this war is over, I will study how to deal with them. Don't let those soldiers and citizens destroy them at will. The corpses of these revitalized plants have high alchemical value. The reconstruction funds of Usmer City depend on them." Gavin emphasized.

Even if he is not an alchemist, he has seen a lot of useful things from these withered ones.

The claws of those withered monsters are accompanied by paralysis toxins, which are very useful if they can be extracted.

The corrupted oil on the withered vine monsters is an effective substitute for the fire glue bottle, and the vines on their bodies are also particularly strong.

The needles on the dry needle monster also carry paralysis toxins, which are natural poison needles. The only problem is how to use them.

Not to mention the magic tree, it basically has everything the former has, and it is magnified dozens of times, which can be called a treasure.

In terms of the use of natural materials, the druids in the Giant Valley are experts in this area. When the time comes, we will strive to cooperate with them to maximize their value.

"Don't worry, Commander, we promise to complete the task and will never hide anything." Duis patted his chest and guaranteed.

"The second is to launch a city-wide search and rescue, count the casualties, calculate the losses of this battle, and uniformly resettle the citizens who have lost their homes. It is best to take the opportunity to survey the citizens of the whole city and register all the people to facilitate the deployment of personnel after the reconstruction work begins. Anna, the chief priest, and her field medical team will cooperate with you. She has rich experience in this regard." Gavin is no longer using the Sword Brotherhood as a gang organization and partner, but as his own subordinates.

Duis responded again as if he hadn't noticed: "This is what we should do."

"Although there are only two things, the affairs involved are very complicated and there are many details. There are very high requirements for personnel deployment. The original model of your brotherhood is a bit insufficient. I suggest that you can take this opportunity to take a step forward appropriately." Gavin said meaningfully.

"Take a step forward?" The three leaders of the Sword Brotherhood were puzzled at first, and then they thought of something and showed incredible expressions.

"Have you ever considered that Usmael City obviously has an excellent port that is not inferior to Tevram, and the other side is a prosperous city with a population of over 100,000 and extremely frequent trade, while Usmael City is a small city with a population of just over 10,000?" Gavin asked instead of answering.

"This..." The three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood looked at each other and hesitated for a long time, but could not give an answer.

"We are discussing issues, and there is no distinction between right and wrong. Only by finding the root of Usmail City can we build it better and make it an existence that is not inferior to, or even surpasses, Teflam." Gavin encouraged The way.

"Then I will tell you my opinion, and please correct me, Commander." The boss of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "I think the root cause lies with the residents of the Giant Valley. The residents here admire the self-sufficiency of druids. , a lifestyle that is integrated with nature, so that they have very little demand for external products. Although they have specialties such as alchemical products, arrows, bows, wood carvings, herbal medicines, and Druid magic products, the output is very small and very unstable. , without sufficient supply and demand stimulation, as a window to the outside world, it will be difficult for Usmail City to develop.

On the contrary, in Sesk, because of the Golden Road, commerce is very prosperous, and one-tenth of the residents are either merchants or engaged in business-related businesses.

The unique goods from the Far East are full of attractions for merchants from all over Faerûn. Every time a large caravan returns from there, it is also the time when countless merchants gather in Tefram. They will definitely not come with empty ships. , will bring goods of interest to the Far East from Faerûn. Just a one-time business activity can exceed the annual trading volume of Uxmer City. "

As the leader of Uxmail City, Duis has obviously considered this issue before. After all, the development of this city is closely related to the development and growth of their brotherhood.

The other two leaders of the Sword Assassination Brotherhood nodded in agreement: "The main reason is on the Golden Road. If the nature of the two were reversed, it would be us, Usmail, and not Tefram who would develop.

But because of the geographical location, even if we want to grab the business of Tefram, it is difficult to do it. After all, Usmail city is more than 200 kilometers deep into the Eastern Gulf. Why do those businessmen take a long way to come here? ? "

"As the leaders of Usmail City, you only see her disadvantages and don't explore her advantages. How can you expect those businessmen to come to the door on their own?" Gavin did not express support or opposition.

Transactions with the Far East occupy a decisive position in the desperate Eastern Region. This factor cannot be ignored. This is also an important reason for him to peek at this place.

It is perfectly normal for the three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood to have such a perception.

When all Faerûnians mention Teflam, the first thing they think of is that she is the western land terminus of the Golden Road.

"What are the advantages of Uxmail City? Compared to Tevram, what are our advantages?"

"Is it easy to defend but difficult to attack? After all, we are deep into the Eastern Gulf, which is the heart of the Imbutu Kingdom. They have always maintained a huge fleet, which is very powerful against pirates. Very few pirates can go deep into this place. , and with Tefram drawing firepower outside, the security here is very high.”

"Not only is the safety at sea relatively high, the safety on land is also higher than that of the Golden Road. Don't forget that the Kingdom of Sesk also has a bad neighbor. The influence of the Kingdom of Sel has always been shrouded there. The Golden Road Many of the bandits that will never be eliminated are related to the red robe mages, either supported by them, or they sent slave soldiers to disguise themselves. "

"There are also roads. After crossing Asen Lake, although the northern land of Leatherman Kingdom is bitterly cold, it is not blocked by the Sunrise Mountains and can directly enter the endless wilderness. However, on the Golden Road, it has to pass through the rugged highlands and In the mountains, we have to struggle for more than 300 kilometers. If we travel 200 kilometers more on smooth roads in exchange for 300 kilometers less on mountain roads, I believe many businessmen will be very happy. "

As local businessmen who have been operating in the desperate eastern region for many years, the three leaders of the Sword and Thorn Brotherhood are well aware of the situation here. After being introduced to Gavin's ideas, they immediately analyzed the many advantages. In the end, they They were all moved by it and their eyes were sparkling. How could they not have thought before that they still had so many advantages?

At the end, Duis couldn't help but made a shocking and bold guess: "Commander, you don't want to take the opportunity to redefine the Golden Road, let Hongdao replace it, and build this place into a new golden road." road?"

"Yes, it's not entirely right." Gavin stopped hiding it and threw out a little bit of his personal plan to these local snakes, "It is impossible to completely replace Teflam. After all, Teflam also has its own advantages.

But what a huge cake is trade with the Far Eastern Empire? How much potential can be tapped?

We only need to take a small part of it, which is enough for us to make a lot of money.

The self-sufficient, desireless lifestyle of the people in Jugu is certainly its disadvantage, but in a certain respect, it is also its advantage.

This means that we can redefine this place with our own hands.

Both sides of Hongdao are fertile soil suitable for building large-scale farms. As long as it is developed, we can completely turn this area into a new granary of the Eastern Region. I believe that food here will be the most marketable. "

"Hiss..."

The three leaders of the Sword Assassination Brotherhood couldn't help but take a breath of air. They knew that Gavin, a powerful foreign dragon, had great intentions, but they didn't expect them to be so big.

Even the city of Usmail, which they regarded as a treasure, was nothing more than a chess piece in the eyes of the opponent.

If he had said this to the other party when they had just arrived in Usmer City.

They would definitely sneer and regard it as wishful thinking.

He is not the first person who is thinking about the Great Valley, and he will definitely not be the last one.

Do you think those druids are vegetarians?

So reasonable?

It is true that druids are kind, provided that you do not provoke them and do not have ideological conflicts with them.

Once the above two points are violated, they will use practical actions to let you experience what is stubbornness and what is inflexible.

But this problem does not seem to be so big for the man in front of him.

Because the other party has just fought side by side with the two largest local druid forces in the Great Valley, and will continue to do so.

Some things that are impossible for ordinary people have become a possibility, and it is very big.

If the Great Valley can really be developed and turned into a granary, even if it does not steal the business of the Golden Road, it will inject huge vitality into the city of Usmer and make it develop rapidly.

Not only do merchants going to the Far East Empire need to bring a lot of food on the road, but the Leatherman Kingdom in the east, the Nafir Kingdom in the north, and the Damara Kingdom in the northwest are not good at producing food, and there is a huge food gap.

Even the coastal cities of their homeland, the Inbutu Kingdom, often fall into a food crisis due to the instability of the food supply.

After the shock, the three people were excited. They had already made up their minds to hold this thick thigh and take advantage of the situation. They were not afraid of Gavin's big moves in the Giant Valley, but they were afraid that he would not be strong. Without any moves, they would not be able to develop with the help.

Duis hurriedly asked respectfully: "I don't know what the commander needs us to do. Just tell us clearly. As long as we can do it, we will do our best."

The other party must have a purpose for being open with them at this time.

"I need a stable, unified, and cooperative Usmer City to cooperate with my subsequent plans." Gavin's dagger was revealed.

The Sword Brotherhood wanted to cling to his big thigh, so he also wanted to borrow strength from them.

Just like Evanso of the Dragon Coast, he was an outsider who directly seized control of the entire city, which was very easy to cause backlash and jealousy.

It was the simplest and fastest to support a local force willing to cooperate with oneself to take power.

After the previous investigation and trial, the Sword Brotherhood was generally qualified.

"I know what to do, Commander, just wait for our good news." The three leaders of the Sword Brotherhood looked at each other and could clearly feel the excitement that the other party could not hide.

If they still couldn't understand Gavin's hidden meaning now, they would have been in vain for so many years.

This was to support them and take the opportunity to seize the ruling power of the entire Usmer City.

And this is exactly what they want to do. In the past, the Shadow Union and the Skeleton Gang encouraged the citizens not to retreat in order to confront their brotherhood.

As a result, when the war broke out, everything became out of control. They didn't have time to retreat. Many of them gathered at the dock area, and were hit head-on by the huge waves stirred up by the water element army, with extremely heavy casualties.

This wave of resentment and accusations must have been attributed to these two gangs, and their reputations fell to a low point.

On the contrary, the reputation of the Sword Brotherhood has never been higher.

This is indeed a great opportunity to eradicate them.

"I hope that when I return to Usmer City next time, there will be a brand new city waiting for me." Gavin stopped there and was not prepared to intervene in the gang struggle in this city.

If the Sword Brotherhood still cannot seize the power of this city under the absolute advantage, it means that there is a problem with their ability, and they should consider changing to a new support partner.

After handing over the cleanup work of Usmer City to the Sword Brotherhood, Gavin hurried to meet up with the Great Druid Hanso and others.

"Commander, you came at the right time. Our troops have almost been assembled. Let's see how we should fight this battle." The Great Druid Hanso now highly recognized Gavin's command ability.

In his hands, all the advantages of troops were exploited to the extreme, with the smallest casualties in exchange for the greatest victory.

If they were allowed to fight the previous defensive battle, they would have revealed all the cards in their hands, instead of transferring part of the troops to the Lesir Forest in advance to prepare for a counterattack against the Lord of Withering.

"How many troops have we assembled in total?" Gavin asked.

"In addition to the one hundred extraordinary druids in Usmer City, we have more than two hundred tree people in our Reiss Cult, who are ready to go in the forest. Among them, there are twenty-three legendary tree people. Archdruid Knight Archdruid brought twelve battlefield heathers and hundreds of battlefield piercers."

"What about the Lord of Withering?"

"The defense line has been fully contracted. They have covered the entire withered forest with corrupt black fog, and natural forces cannot penetrate. The specific situation is unknown, but their strength is stronger than those he sent to attack Usmer City. Those he sent out before were just born in the process of digesting the killing power. The real elite should stay with him."

"It's normal. All dark creatures are very selfish. They always prioritize themselves. If they came out without reservation, Usmer City would be in danger."

Gavin quickly weighed the strength of both sides in his mind and said, "The Leatherman witch's circle can only be used once a day. In a situation where speed is of the essence, we can no longer rely on it. Although the Red Feather witches are temporarily restrained by the Red Robe Mage, the hundred extraordinary Leatherman witches can support us.

In terms of the current strength, it is already elite enough. If we stick together, even if we can't completely destroy the enemy, we can ensure that we won't suffer too much loss ourselves."
