Chapter 827: Possessed by the Statue

Gavin turned his head and looked at Jiharin and said, "We have already reached a consensus on the formation of the dwarf army, so there is no need to say more. Chief, just do it without any scruples. The stronger the power you burst out, the more beneficial it will be to us."

"Don't worry, Lord. Colossus City is now our home, and we will do our best to protect it." In Jiharin's eyes, it is not a bad thing to have a strong enemy, the Council of Death Chiefs.

At least before this strong enemy is resolved, they don't need to be suspicious of each other, and must work together to fight.

"Fighting against the Council of Death Chiefs is not just the business of Colossus City. Blood Gorge City is another horn of the bull. You must put aside your prejudices and work together with them to strive to produce the most and best armor at the fastest speed. Arm the earth elves in Blood Gorge City, and they will help Colossus City withstand most of the pressure."

The way of war is to be cunning.

When you believe the enemy's plan and implement it, you have already fallen into the trap.

Gavin would not pin his hopes on the promise of the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain, and he would not do less surveillance and precautions.

The Council of the Chieftains of Death is mainly composed of the Undead Army, which certainly gives them a huge advantage in some aspects.

Similarly, in some aspects, the disadvantage is very obvious.

At least many Undead troops cannot march for a long time in the sun.

As long as they guard the underground and do not repeat the same mistakes as the Supreme Shatana Dwarves, who were attacked from underground, the possibility of the Council of the Chieftains of Death successfully attacking from the ground is almost zero.

Their Undead Army will be discovered as soon as they emerge from the Giant Running Mountains.

In general, the win-win plan proposed by the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain is the most beneficial to the Council of the Chieftains of Death.

Otherwise, when Gavin is able to unify the Giant Plains, they will lose completely and get nothing in the end.

Gavin quickly decided on the general direction of the future development of the Colossus City, and after discussing some more ambiguous details with the three people, he hurried back to the East Region of Despair.

In the short term, his energy is mainly focused here. With the continued low temperature, even the vast Asen Lake shows signs of freezing.

When Asen Lake freezes, it will be the time for the Tukans to launch a full-scale attack, and Gavin does not have much time to prepare.

The 500 chariot captains did not disappoint Gavin. Although many of them were beaten, it was because they went to villages far away from Usmer City to recruit people. There was no one who failed to return after three days or completed the task.

Those chariot captains who were beaten were more or less because the orders made by the staff led by Gavin were problematic, and they did not take into account their deep desire to make contributions.

According to their plan, all chariot teams will gather five people to meet the basic operation of the building chariots. The remaining missing personnel can be supplemented from the surrounding giant valley villages along the way when transporting military supplies to the Kingdom of Leatherman.

But military orders cannot be changed overnight.

There were problems and they were implemented as usual, but the subsequent issuance of a full-staff reward order was a disguised compensation reward.

Doing so has achieved a considerable motivational effect, whether for those who are fully staffed or not, so that they will do their best when they encounter such a situation in the future.

When all the chariot captains returned to the team and received their chariots and equipment, 500 people had become 3,500 people.

This is another advantage of the chariot corps, which is easy to form quickly.

As long as there are enough chariots, a small number of well-trained elites, and a group of ordinary people, with a little training, they will have a certain combat capability.

The chariot captains recruited not ordinary people, but at least militia, gang brothers and hunters, all of whom have certain combat experience, and there are also a large number of rangers with several professional levels.

Gavin did not leave them too much time for training and running-in. After all the personnel arrived, they loaded the military supplies piled in the granary onto the trucks and prepared to transport them to the front line.

"Great road pioneer, we offer you our most pious prayers. Please grant us protection and let our next journey be smooth."

Led by the captain of the chariot team, the members of the entire chariot corps prayed in unison facing the road statue on the dock square.

Gavin, who had been floating above the road statue and watching, lowered his body at the right time and landed on the road statue. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to give a speech, but suddenly felt a strong suction from the road statue under him.

Instinctively wanted to resist.

But gave up immediately, kidding, this is his own road statue, this unknown change can only be good.

Sure enough.

When Gavin no longer resisted the suction from the road statue, the whole person directly sank into it, just like a druid melting into the forest.

No, to be more precise, it should be Wu Liu transformation.

With Gavin's heart as the center, the road statue bloomed with a soft divine aura. Wherever it passed, the solid wood joints began to soften and became movable limbs.

"The statue is alive. The Commander's statue is alive."

"How is this possible?"

"What kind of magic is this? Can it animate such a huge statue?"

"I have never heard of such magic."

"This is not magic, this is divine art, a divine art that only the gods possess. The gods can attach their own souls to their own statues and temporarily animate them."

"This is even more impossible. Commander Gavin is just a mortal. How could he use the power that only gods can use? It must be magic, but it is a powerful magic that is not well known. It must be like this, it must be like this..."

The activated road statue made the entire city of Usmer go crazy again.

Those who were originally singing hymns and praying sang more vigorously.

Many people who were not very interested in the road statue had to kneel down and pay their respects to it.

The craziest ones were the priests, because many of them recognized the reason for the activation of the road statue, which broke their cognition. While praying to their gods, they desperately looked for excuses.

Statue Possession (Special Ability)-When more than a thousand people pray devoutly in front of the statue you have infused with divine power, you will feel it in your heart. You can choose to enter this statue in the form of possession, activate it, and fight for you. After the statue is activated, it will continue to consume road power. Medium consumes one point of road power per second, large consumes two points, super large consumes four points, giant consumes eight points, and super giant consumes sixteen points.

This is a brand new ability that Gavin unlocked after entering the Road Statue.

This is the embarrassment of mortals stealing the power of the gods. Everything needs to be explored bit by bit.

However, it is undeniable that this ability is powerful. In this way, the Road Statue is not just a dead object, but also a powerful war machine.

Although there are many preconditions and the power cannot be compared with the dragon oak incarnation, it is a complete surprise. It has a very strong deterrent effect on many enemies.

It is really a coincidence that I just prepared a stone statue for myself, and a brand new ability emerged.

If the effect is the same after the statue is possessed, the power of the stone statue will be far greater than that of wood. Although steel is stronger, the consumption is too great, so it is not considered for the time being.

The messy thoughts flashed in Gavin's mind, and he focused his attention on the present. The speed at which the statue consumes the power of the road is still quite fast, especially when the statue's ability is used later, it will also consume a lot of road power. He must race against time.

The War Predator instantly appeared in the hands of the activated Road Statue. After raising it high, he said loudly: "Today you will shoulder the heavy responsibility given to you by the entire Faerun people. You will send all the expectations of the Faerun people to the Leatherman people who are fighting bloody on the front line, and bring them hope of victory. I will bless you and wish you a smooth journey."

The khaki light surged out from the Road Statue, wrapping around each building-type chariot and praying soldiers, making them clearly feel that their bodies have become much lighter. With a casual move, they feel like rushing out.

This is the prayer response of the Road Statue, which can greatly increase the next movement speed of the prayer.

This ability originally has a self-response mechanism, which automatically responds according to the piety of the prayer's prayer.

Those who are not sincere will not get a response at all.

Those who are perfunctory will only get a part of the blessing.

Only those who are sincere can get the greatest degree of blessing.

Even if a large amount of road power is infused, the road statue is just a dead object, just like a machine with a set program, it will only react according to the preconditions, and will not make flexible changes.

Now Gavin is in the road statue and controls it personally, which is another situation.

Regardless of whether those people on the road are sincere or false, they are all given the maximum blessing, and the movement speed is increased by 30%.

This instant and substantial improvement is very obvious, especially for those who are exposed to this kind of magic for the first time.

Doing so is naturally to further advertise the road statue, so that they know that the road statue has this function, and if they need it in the future, they will take the initiative to pray for blessings.

This is not over yet, Gavin directly concentrates his mind and focuses his attention on the dog-headed road construction team.

He now feels like being in the ruling tower of Misnoel, and his perception ability has been greatly amplified.

Unlike the circular expansion of the ruling tower, the perception of the road statue is linear, especially the asphalt road cast by the paving technique under his feet, which is particularly clear.

When his mind focused on it, he instantly knew the length of the entire Hongdao (583 kilometers), the length of the road that the road construction team had re-paved with the road construction team (221 kilometers), and the road layout map of the entire Usmer City, as well as the location of those dog-headed road builders.

His mind moved again, and waves of road power spread along the oil cypress road under his feet, entwining the dog-headed road builders who were praying devoutly.

Gavin did not feel any rejection from them, but on the contrary, he was fanatically worshipped from the bottom of his heart.

This is why Gavin likes to use these little guys more and more. Lack of intelligence is certainly their defect, but sometimes, it is their advantage.

They don't have so many crooked thoughts, they are honest and simple, and it is easy to develop into fanatical believers, completing all the tasks assigned by themselves without considering the reward.

The next second, these dog-headed road builders disappeared from their original place and appeared at the end of the oil cypress road, ready to devote themselves to paving the second half of the Hongdao.

When these kobold road builders found themselves back in the wilderness from the city, they were stunned for only a few seconds, and then they started to work happily without Gavin's orders.

Those who had not used the paving technique that day ran directly to the junction of the oil cypress and the dirt road and started paving the new section of the road.

And those who had not used it many times were hunting, picking, collecting, and setting up stoves to prepare to light a fire and cook.

These dog-headed people not only have excellent survival skills in the wild, but also have a strict division of labor, each doing their own thing. It is not easy to see the kind of dog-headed people who work without effort. The dog-headed people here are carefully selected elites.

On the other hand, it is their racial nature. It is rare to see those who bask in the sun lazily in those wild dog-headed tribes. Such behavior will be despised by the entire population, and those who do not change will be driven out of the tribe and flow into the wilderness.

They are short and thin. Without the protection of the racial tribe, it will not take long for them to become food for predators.

Years of survival of the fittest will force the lazy gene out of their bodies.

It is this characteristic that makes their construction speed very guaranteed, unless they encounter external factors that they cannot resist as a whole.

The meticulous Gavin would never allow such a situation to happen. After the war, all the battlefield heathers assigned to him by the Great Druid of Knightat were transferred by him. They will follow the pace of the road construction team of the Kobolds, advance synchronously, and protect their safety.

With their existence, there is no wild creature that is blind enough to come and provoke the Kobolds' road construction team.

As for the Eagle Knights of the Tukan people, they were defeated several times by Gavin, the Druids of the Giant Valley, and the Air Force of the Kingdom of Leatherman. After losing hundreds of cavalry, they no longer had the original arrogance and dared not easily go deep into the Giant Valley to harass.

Although the Eagle Knights of the Tukan people have certain advantages, they are not yet at the level of crushing. Once they are deliberately targeted, with the help of magic, the situation can be easily reversed-for example, those druids directly manipulate the weather to turn the surrounding area into heavy rain or dense fog, which has a considerable impact on the Eagle Knights of the Tukan people.

After sending all the dog-headed men in Usmer City to the front of the road construction, Gavin retracted his attention.

He just used the road rescue ability of the road statue to use the power of the road to teleport the road guard.

The so-called road guard is not as simple as giving a name, but it is necessary to infuse at least a little road power in their bodies as a mark to link with the road statue.

And these dog-headed road builders who are endowed with the road paving technique have at least six points of road power in their bodies, and are naturally regarded as members of the road guard.

Like the prayer response, when Gavin is in charge, the prerequisites of these abilities can be directly ignored. His power is his final say.

Compared with the dragging ability of the shadow power, the road power is professional in this aspect. Not only can it drag and transport items over a long distance, but creatures will not be affected at all, and there is no side effect. There is no need to perform tedious work such as extracting the shadow power after teleportation.

Now the shadow power still has a certain place in this aspect, because Gavin still has too little road power and his road network has not been fully paved.

I believe that with continuous development, in this regard, the power of the road will replace the power of the shadow, and it is only a matter of time.

This is also one of the reasons why Gavin and his team are actively exploring other uses of the power of the shadow.

"Let's go." The road statue waved his hand heavily.

"Let's go, all chariot members, take your positions."

"Don't be chaotic, follow our previous training and keep your own posts."

"Keep your distance, all vehicles keep a safe distance of ten meters, don't rush, move forward slowly, as long as the entire chariot corps operates normally, it is a kind of victory, which requires the cooperation of all people, every chariot, every person, is an important link."

Those chariot captains are the busiest and most nervous people, busy around the chariots and shouting commands, until the vehicle started with a gurgle under the joint efforts of the two giant animals, they just breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking in the front is the building-type chariot commanded by the chariot captain named Aiden, and his deputy is Brady, the second leader of the Sword Brotherhood.

The Sword Brotherhood has been able to stand in the city of Usmer for more than 30 years, so it naturally has its own way of survival - being able to bend and stretch.

Especially the three leaders who started from scratch, who have demonstrated this to the extreme.

According to the strength shown by Gavin, they quickly adjusted their attitudes.

From the initial show of strength, to the subsequent full cooperation, and now to the full integration.

Rather than waiting for Gavin, the powerful dragon, to come and swallow them, it is better to actively integrate with them, which can gain more benefits for themselves.

The most important thing about this kind of chariot legion is the front. As long as the front leads well, the back only needs to follow.

And their formation is not static. When one of them has a problem and stops, the back will automatically take a detour to fill it. Under the condition of ensuring its normal operation, the passing chariot team will actively provide assistance.

Gavin does not object, and even encourages internal competition and competition. This is an effective way to keep a group vigorous and energetic, but all this must be based on a benign situation.

More often than not, they are a group, and if a soldier falls behind, it is not the soldier who is punished, but his team. If the team makes a mistake, the entire regiment will be implicated, and so on.

Doing so will engrave the collective sense of honor and teamwork spirit into their bodies.

These are the first lessons that the captain of the chariot learned at the Military Academy of the Lady of Strategy, and now they are naturally brought to the chariot corps.

In fact, they have already demonstrated this when recruiting team members.
