Chapter 928 Integration

The more Gavin thought about it, the more reasonable he thought this idea was, and he told Catherine his new idea through Larry's mind connection on the spot.

Although he has now become the chief elector of Ms. Strategy, there is one thing that he will never be able to match Catherine.

That is the identity between her and Ms. Strategy - Gavin does not allow anyone to manipulate his body, and this will be the case in the future.

Although Catherine cannot completely represent Ms. Strategy, their infinitely similar souls make their decisions often surprisingly consistent.

As long as Catherine is interested in something, Ms. Strategy will most likely be interested as well.

Gavin prefers to deal with Catherine than face the strategist lady.

No matter how friendly Ms. Strategy is, she is still a god, possessing powerful divine power. She does not need to be deliberately maintained to make people feel the urge to worship her.

Fortunately, Gavin had a lot of backing, which could offset part of the divine power. Otherwise, he would have to kneel down every time he saw the divine incarnation of Ms. Strategy.

This is the first reaction of most people when they see the divine incarnation of Shen Zhuan.

This feeling was even stronger when I met the divine body of Ms. Strategy at the Fortress of Gunboard Chess.

Another reason is that Catherine still retains more humanity and is relatively humane.

It cannot be said that Ms. Strategy has no humanity at all. It can only be said that all the decisions she makes are based on the premise of being in line with her vocation and divinity, and seeking the best interests for herself. Human nature and her own preferences come second.

This situation will become more serious as the strategist becomes more powerful.

This is not unique to Ms. Strategy, it is the case for all gods. This is the reason why countless beliefs have blessed their divinity, and powerful beliefs have begun to influence them in turn.

This is one of the fundamental reasons for the paranoid and extreme personalities of those powerful gods.

"The perfect idea is simply a perfect idea. It is not only suitable for Ms. Strategy, but also for all war gods. After all, heroes are most easily born in war."

Even through soul transmission, Gavin could clearly feel the excitement in Catherine's tone. It was not as simple as interest.

"In fact, in the war god system, it has its own war spirit totem and corresponding gods."

"You mean Uthgar?" Gavin immediately thought of another god in the war pantheon.

"Yes." Catherine replied, "The Father of Battle also has another name called the God of War Spirit Totem, but he is not competent in this aspect. The priesthood related to War Spirit and Totem has not been completely promoted yet, and only remains Among the Uthgardian barbarians, if a deal could be made with them, things would become much more complicated.

As members of the war god system, if they can obtain this power through peaceful means, it is best not to have a conflict. "

"You're not referring to the blue bear spirit in me, are you?" When dealing with Mara's divine incarnation, Ms. Strategy personally took action, and Catherine naturally knew about it.

Since he had to deal with the Tukan invasion first, he hadn't gotten around to dealing with the blue bear spirit.

"I just don't know if the General is willing to part with it?" Catherine's words were obviously full of excitement.

When they reach this level, they no longer look at things on the surface, but on their ultimate essence.

The blue bear spirit is not just a totem, it represents a seed.

March into totem belief and the seeds of animal worship.

This is why both Mara, the god of hunting, and Rillifane, the patron saint of wild elves, keep a close eye on him.

"Give it up, give it up, give it up, only by giving up can you get something. From the beginning, I was not prepared to take the blue bear totem spirit as my own, but I just didn't find the right opportunity. Now that I have the opportunity to exchange for something we need more from him, Why not?"

Gavin said cheerfully, "It's just that my understanding of sacrifice is very limited and I don't know how to do it."

"As long as the general is willing to take out the spirit of the blue bear totem, leave the rest to me." Catherine said in an all-round way, "Now is the best time. We still have the three hundred dollars in exchange for it from the Lord of Shadows. Eight exclusive sacrificial souls.

Now that they are resurrected, there are only 308 more middle and low-level commanders.

But if we transform them into heroic spirits, we can use the method of giving heroic spirits to let them enter the middle and high-level ranks of various armies and maximize their value.

As long as they complete the corresponding heroic missions, if they still have the desire to be resurrected, we will resurrect them without delay. "

There were no big surprises about exchanging souls with the Lord of Shadows.

For any god, those devout believers are the most important resources and should be taken care of first.

The Lord of Shadows, who is in a precarious situation, needs to protect every devout believer of his to prevent the believers from chilling their hearts and causing them to turn away from him.

In this matter, the Lord of Shadows did not dare to play tricks at will, lest he lose his wife and lose his troops.

Gavin immediately made the decision: "This matter will be carried out in Clont, and they will be sent among the Xianglong people. They are familiar with various heavenly officials themselves.

It is easier to accept this model, and it is also easier for us to control and absorb them. "

"Good method." Catherine highly agreed.

Along the way, she was worrying about how to open a gap in these Xianglong people. Unexpectedly, Gavin turned around and found a suitable method.

The Xianglong people are different from other races in Faerun. Although the races in Faerun are extremely diverse, they have the same background. A common language can solve the communication barrier problem.

The Xianglong people are different. They have their own long history and their own idioms and allusions.

Even if they use the common language, many things are not expressed in words.

This is very similar to the initial feeling Gavin gave her.

In addition, Gavin's unusual attitude towards the Xianglong people confirmed her initial speculation that his body and soul are not completely matched. The body may be from the continent of Faerun, but the soul is not necessarily. It is very likely to come from the Xianglong Dynasty.

As long as Gavin does not behave too abnormally, generally no one will delve into it, because such things are not uncommon in Faerun.

The fourth-ring spell is reincarnation.

It is to let a soul reincarnate into a new creature. He can not only keep most of the memories of the previous life, but also inherit the professional level.

This spell is also called a low-profile version of complete resurrection. As long as you still have a part of your body, even a finger, you can use reincarnation.

But compared with complete resurrection, its defects are also quite obvious.

That is, during the reincarnation process, not only is the appearance generated random, but even the race is uncontrollable.

It is possible to reincarnate into the original race, or become a dwarf, elf, halfling, or even a monster race such as a bugbear, goblin, hobgoblin, kobold or orc, and even more strange races beyond imagination.

Don't be too surprised to see some behaviors that are contrary to the characteristics of the race. In addition to the possibility that the other party is eccentric, there may be a soul that does not match its race.

Most people will not choose to use reincarnation unless they have no choice.

After all, not everyone likes the lifestyle of shapeshifters that changes all the time.

After finishing the communication with Catherine, Gavin smiled apologetically to Guo Conglong and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I just had other things to deal with."

"General, you are really too polite. After all, you are busy every day." Guo Conglong is not surprised by this.

Thousands of miles of voice transmission is not a deep secret in the Xianglong Empire.

He had used it before, but unfortunately, the people he could communicate with before were all dead.

Gavin continued the unfinished topic just now, "The ban on fishing in Lake Asen is temporary. I will strive for the right to restrict fishing or joint fishing from the Leatherman Witch Council.

This is just a transitional method. What we need to do in the end is to find suitable waters for large-scale breeding."

In this land, if you want to be free from being controlled by people or gods.

The best way is to find ways to grow it from the ground or breed it yourself.

"The general has considered it carefully."

"This is the future development direction of the territory. Our top priority now is to build a new line of defense based on Kronte to block the gap of the Tukan people going north.

Once the Tukan people lose the battle with the coalition forces and have no way to cross the lake, they are likely to flee in our direction and try to detour back to the Endless Wilderness from the north."

At this time, Gavin led the Far East Heavy Cavalry and the Chariot Corps to leave the Furen Coalition Forces, not just to develop the territory, but also to shoulder the corresponding military tasks.

Kronte is located on the core transportation route.

Its northwest is connected to the Giant Valley, the southwest is the Sesk Plain, and the entire east is surrounded by Lake Asen of the Kingdom of Leatherman.

This is the so-called Four Wars Land, a place that must be fought for in war.

But the three countries connected to this Four Wars Land are strange enough.

One is ruled by the Druids, who are extremely low in aggressiveness and famous for their conservatism. It is not even a complete country, but has hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of undeveloped fertile land.

The other is ruled by the witches' secret meeting, which is extremely closely tied to their kingdom. Compared with expansion, they prefer to deepen their ties with their homeland.

Although the last one is an alliance composed of aggressive merchants, they were established too recently, and they have been plagued by internal and external troubles. They have not even figured out their own domestic situation, let alone external expansion.

This led to Kronte being just a town with a population of less than 2,000 before the outbreak of the war, and it was not even close to a city.

After Gavin brought all the Xianglong people here, the natives of Kronte immediately became a minority and could only honestly accept the fact that Gavin became the new guardian of this land.

After the general direction of development was determined, Gavin threw the execution work to the Xianglong officers headed by Guo Conglong and Hu Bianguan.

These Xianglong officers spared no effort to execute Gavin's orders.

Because they knew that this was another test for them, and only by passing it could they keep their current positions.

Although they had not followed this young general for a long time, they had already understood his character.

For him, feelings are secondary, and ability is the most important.

As long as you show the corresponding ability, you will definitely be reused and rewarded, and vice versa.

For those mediocre people, this is a disaster.

But for those ambitious people, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially for these Xianglong people.

The Xianglong Dynasty is a behemoth that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has long had its own system for selecting talents.

Recommendation and scientific examinations are equally important.

In the early days of the system, the two were probably equal in weight.

But now, anyone who has a little knowledge of the officialdom of the Xianglong Dynasty knows it.

Recommendation has long surpassed the imperial examination.

A good family background can replace decades of hard study for an ordinary person.

Even if you are lucky enough to squeeze through the imperial examination, your upper limit is doomed.

Many official positions, if you do not have blood inheritance, and have no way to control those immortal officials and huge natural forces, then you will not be eligible.

Many people's careers have been determined from the moment they are born.

Those who come from business families are likely to be able to do business.

Most of those who come from military families can only make a living at the border.

Those who come from horse families will be overwhelmed by the burden of raising horses in this life.

Most of those who come from farmers can only farm for a lifetime.

The merchants of the Xianglong people are not like those of Furen, who can easily control a town or even form a merchant federation.

In that ancient empire, following the principle of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, those merchants who do not engage in production are considered to have the lowest status and are vassals of all classes, especially the first class.

If you do not have the corresponding relationship, you simply cannot gain a foothold in a place.

Even if you have great business talent and stand out in a certain industry, it won't take long before someone uses power to forcibly swallow you up and make wedding clothes for others. You are lucky to be able to save your family's life.

In the Xianglong Empire, every businessman who exceeds a certain scale has a government background.

Collusion between officials and businessmen is a universal phenomenon.

Officials are the most important in everything.

This concept has long been deeply rooted in the bones of the Xianglong people, and climbing up has become an instinct.

For Gavin, this is not a bad thing.

This makes it easier for him to control them. If those selected Xianglong officers do not obey his management, they can be directly replaced. There are still a group of people below who are eager to climb up!

Gavin's speculation is correct.

Never underestimate the power of the group. No one's life trajectory is exactly the same, even twins are no exception. Ten thousand people have ten thousand origins and ten thousand different life experiences, at least before they become slaves of the Tukan people.

And now they have thirty-five thousand.

Before becoming slaves, most of these Xianglong people had worked in other industries, and some even had more than one.

Although most of them were apprentices and ordinary craftsmen, masters of a certain industry were rare.

But for Gavin, it was enough.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

As long as there is this seed, the rest is to cultivate and irrigate it carefully.

Now the territory is just starting out, and the threat of the Tukan people has not been completely eliminated. The overall focus is still on military affairs rather than people's livelihood.

Everything is for the military, and other industries are temporarily postponed until they are needed.

Gavin will not blindly invest a lot of money and energy in some industries that are not temporarily used-except scientific research.

However, the place where he invested the most energy was still in the communication with the Xianglong people. Although the Xianglong Dynasty has great similarities with the ancient Eastern civilizations on Earth, there are still great differences in many things, especially in historical systems.

As the understanding deepened, this feeling became particularly strong.

Shuo! Shuo! Shuo!

In the temporary martial arts field of Kronte.

Two agile figures moved back and forth, and the horse spears in their hands were shaking rhythmically, making a unique whistling sound.

The two collided from time to time, and both were stopped at one point.

Cheers were heard from time to time outside the field.

Bang!

The crisp sound of the gong sounded, and the two figures that were originally entangled immediately separated and stood opposite each other.

The two people were very similar in body shape, both were well-proportioned and strong, with linear muscles all over the body, extraordinary explosive power, long arms and legs, and extremely light footsteps.

Although sweating profusely, their breathing was even and long, showing that the parties had spare energy.

Both wore a tight black smock.

However, one black smock was covered with dense white dots and stick marks, while the other had only a few dots, and the winner was immediately decided.

Gavin performed a standard Xianglong fist salute and praised from the bottom of his heart: "General Hu, good lance method."

He naturally belonged to the former, and the white dots and stick marks on his body represented the number of times he was stabbed and drawn by the opponent.

During this period, whenever he had free time, he would take the initiative to ask these Xianglong officers how to use the horse lance.

He did this at the beginning to further strengthen his relationship with these Xianglong people, and also because of the influence of his previous life. After all, in those movies and TV series, there were many words of praise for this kind of exotic weapon, and it was extremely beautiful to use.

However, as he studied in depth, Gavin found that this weapon was not in vain, and it was very suitable for him. It could use skills to make up for some of the lack of strength. If the strength and speed of the weapon were equally important, then its power would be even more amazing, and it was applicable to both horse and foot battles.

The reason for limiting the large-scale popularization of this weapon is that this weapon is neither easy to learn nor difficult to master, and it takes a lot of time to hone various skills.

"General, you are the only one who has ever trained with a spear. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that you have only been practicing with a spear for ten days.

I just took advantage of the fact that I learned it twenty years earlier than you. If you practiced spear with me, no, even if you learned it ten years later, you would have surpassed me by far."

Hu Bianguan also praised Gavin, both for his talent in this area and for his amazing resilience.

Although the spear heads used by both sides were replaced with wooden materials for practice, the horse lance is different from the long spear. It has amazing toughness and can be bent like a bow. The whipping should not be underestimated.

At the beginning, he could still save his strength and stop when he was done.

But as Gavin's lance skills improved by leaps and bounds, he was forced to focus more and more. Today, he tried his best to deal with it and had no way to save his strength.

In order to feel the power of this weapon more conveniently and learn faster, the opponent rejected the proposal to use full body armor.

Many strong soldiers could not withstand his three-spear whipping.

Gavin took more than a dozen of his lances, but his expression did not change and he was still alive and kicking.

Hu Bianguan couldn't help but doubt Gavin's profession again. Is he a warrior? Or a spellcaster?

He had clearly seen the other party's spellcasting with his own eyes, and more than once, and his proficiency was no less than those professional mages.

This is also one of the reasons why the other party's lance skills have improved so quickly.

After being hit for a long time, the muscles will have their own memory, which makes it easier to dodge and assess the power of the same attack on the enemy.

Many veterans use this trick to lead new recruits to save trouble.

However, most new recruits passively endure it, and it is rare to actively use this trick.
