Chapter 320: The Complicated Situation in the Valley
After talking about business, everyone gathered around the campfire and chatted for a long time with ghost wine.
There is no match, but there are many things involved.
The Hammer of Justice has stood in the Taser Valley for more than 400 years, and Wallonia has been the Grand Inquisitor for more than 30 years, and no one knows more about the forces around the valley.
Even the cavalry commanders of Sharburg, the ruler of Taser Valley, were respectful when they saw him, and they were honored as the Great Judge.
Wallon took a sip of his wine and sighed faintly, "The reason why Sambia didn't swallow Tasser's Valley in one bite is not because of the influence of our Hammer of Justice.
What is really concerned is the reaction of the other ten valleys, if the other valleys are strong enough, the Taser Valley can maintain its current independence, and it will still be a valley and a valley.
If the other valleys fall into weakness and the Battle Valley and the Feather Valley are eaten, do you think that the Taser Valley, which is unsafe, is the opponent of those jackal-like rich mercenary armies? ”
Even Anna, who didn't know anything about military affairs, couldn't help but shake her head.
Although there is a dangerous area such as the Don Hills in the Taser Valley, it is not on the border, but in the very center.
Once driven to the Don Hills, the Taser Valley was essentially destroyed.
"Now that we know the harm of division, why don't the valleys unite again? Even if it is to elect a co-leader and form a closer united whole, it is better than the current plate of scattered sand. Gavin took the opportunity to humbly ask for advice.
"It's simple, let's not talk about so many valleys, the interests involved are so big, can the hearts of the people be united, just say that Sambia and Santarin will sit back and watch this situation appear? The lessons of Scar Valley's past are laid out there, and you really think it was the combined forces of Misty Valley and Shadow Valley that defeated Lassan's army? Wallon smiled meaningfully.
Wallon said that the lesson was in 1356.
The ruler of the Scar Valley, Essan Omesell, launched a war to conquer the southern part of the Valley, capturing the Cultivated Valley, the Feather Valley, and the Battle Valley in just a few months.
But in less than half a year, he was defeated, just as fast as he had risen, and now the Valley of Scars had no autonomy of its own, but was occupied by a coalition army that not only represented the valleys, but also the armies of the Cormiers, Sambia, and Santarin.
"Could it be that there is something hidden in it?" Gavin asked curiously, the outside world only knows that Lashan's army was defeated by the cavalry of the Misty Valley in the Misty Valley, but how it was defeated is not very clear.
"Before Lashan's army was defeated, Sambia's mercenaries had already entered the Valley of Scars and captured Lashan's lair." Wallon smiled and said, "Rashan is a great man, but not a worthy king, because his gaze is limited to a few valleys, but he does not see the reason why the valleys are really not united.
When all the powerful forces outside don't want you to unite, and don't need you to unite, how can you unite?
If you don't pull out all the minions of the Jackals of Sambia, they will deal you a fatal blow from behind when you start a war on the inside. ”
"Taught." Gavin said heartily.
Although he has his own understanding of the situation in the valley, he is far from seeing it as clearly as Wallon.
After a pause, Gavin offered his opinion, "I think there's a fatal problem in the Vale. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Wallon was hooked to arouse interest.
"The land is vast and sparsely populated, the population is too small, and the population of a valley is not as good as a medium-sized coastal city.
Replaced by Tesser, the banks of such a convenient river, raising a population of at least no less than three million, and now, there is not even a fraction.
If the population is small, there is no chance to hold a group, so it is naturally easy to be bullied. ”
This was Gavin's biggest impression in the Valley of the Battles for nearly a month.
The rocky terrain is vast and sparsely populated, and it can be said that the living conditions are too harsh.
The valley is vast and sparsely populated, but it's a bit too much to say.
"You're right, but have you thought about it, what is the cause of this situation?" Wallon asked rhetorically.
Gavin replied without hesitation: "Because there has never been a strong, unified government in the valley, there has been no systematic management of the valley, especially the taming of the Ashaba River, and there is no strong government to mobilize enough manpower and material resources, it is impossible to succeed by relying on individual spontaneous governance."
And Sambia does not want to see such a regime emerge, and if it does, it will stab the bad man in the back. ”
"You're only half right." Wallon sighed and said, "There are not many people raised in the valley, but there are too few people who choose to stay in the valley, and many people grow up, they can't stand the temptation of Sambia's wealth, and they go there to pan for gold, and after a little achievement, they take their own families away, and at least one-tenth of Sambia's population now belongs to the valley, or once belonged to the valley." ”
Sambia, a young country of immigrants in its own right, values wealth far more than origin.
As long as you have enough strength and enough wealth, you can take your place in this country, even if you come from the valley.
This kind of policy tends to attract the wealthy elite to join the country.
After going around for a long time, Wallon got to the point: "Sambia pays more attention to Battle Valley and Feather Valley than you think, once you have a firm foothold in Battle Valley and want to make a career, you have to be careful of their small moves.
This small action does not have to be done by Sambia himself, but may be with the help of other valley forces, including our cavalry commanders in Taser Valley. ”
Gavin was stunned for a moment, and the emotional chief judge saw his ambition and used this topic to raise himself.
The idea that he is going to make a big deal in the Battle Valley is not difficult for a discerning person to see.
This is especially true after the relocation of hundreds of Tassel refugees from the Tooth of Good Fortune Mountains to the Land of the Three Rivers.
Wallon has already made it very clear that the Taser Valley, Battle Valley, Feather Valley and Scar Valley along the Ashaba River are their own meals, and no one is allowed to touch him, including the rise of more powerful local forces, and whoever rises to the top, they will cut him.
Does Lord Ilmet, the titular lord of Battle Valley, really not want to make a difference?
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.
But when Gavin heard Wallon mention the cavalry commanders of Tasser's Valley, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
There are no large cities in the Taser Valley, and it is mainly made up of twelve Tasser, which means village and town in the local dialect.
These Tasers jointly financed and formed a cavalry corps to maintain law and order in the region, and they were composed of twelve cavalry commanders, one of whom was elected every three years.
It can be regarded as a relatively regular armed force in the country.
"Aren't these cavalry commanders clean?" Gavin asked.
"It has never been clean at all, and no matter how clean people go up, they can't withstand the corruption of Sambia's money, and when the counterattack on Lassan was launched in 1356, the cavalry commanders of Tasser's Valley were in the vanguard, and they now have a nickname, the Shepherd Dogs of Sambia, at least two-thirds, who receive another salary on the Sambian side."
Wallon sighed faintly, "Not to mention those ordinary knights, even our holy warriors of the Hammer of Justice, many of them can't resist the temptation of money. ”
Even with strict legal restrictions, there is no way to completely stop corruption, let alone when these knightly commanders themselves represent the law.
To be bought, don't be too simple.
And that's what Sambia does best.
"It seems that my trouble is not ordinary." Gavin suddenly felt a little headache.
The Land of Three Rivers is indeed a good place, but it is also a troublesome place.
"If you don't do anything here, just want to be a small manor owner, you will naturally not have trouble, but if you want to make a difference, and have a big achievement, all kinds of troubles will come to the door, I hope you must be fully prepared before you make a move."
"You only need to remember one thing, as long as you are working for the benefit of the people of the valley and doing good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, our hammer of justice will stand firmly behind you." ”
"With the words of His Excellency the Chief Judge, I am relieved." Gavin, who was somewhat devastated, was completely aroused by the pride in his heart, "If it's just a conspiracy method, I've never been afraid of anyone, that group of jackals in Sambia, dare to stretch out their claws, I will chop their claws, if I want to stretch out their heads, I will cut off their heads, if it is a big attack, if it is a big attack, ......"
"If you can really push Sambia into a big attack, then the whole valley will be behind you." Wallon laughed.
"Then I'll try to get there." Gavin laughed in response.
"I'm waiting for this day." Wallon laughed again.
The trip to the Hammer of Justice made Gavin feel that he had gained a lot.
At the very least, there is a clearer plan for the direction of development in the Battle Valley.
The method of running around to collect the Tesser's refugees is simply too inefficient.
It is also a palliative rather than a cure.
If you want to attract more people to live here, the key is to cultivate your internal skills and turn the land of the Three Rivers into the most suitable place for human habitation.
You don't need to go out and look for it yourself, those displaced people and refugees will come to the door by themselves.
The key to changing the land of the Three Rivers is to control the river.
The downstream is not to be taken care of for the time being, and the focus of the early treatment is to build large dams in the upper reaches of the Ashaba River, especially along the Yavon Pond.
If it's someone else here.
It's an impossible task.
Because there are not enough soldiers and civilians, there is no way to build large dams and control the river.
If the river section is not controlled, the river will flood wantonly and will not attract residents.
It's a vicious circle.
But Gavin is not an ordinary person, he really doesn't have ordinary residents, but there are quite a few kobolds.
The 800 kobolds transferred earlier are far from enough, and they must be transferred on a large scale to become successful.
Zalanda's line, too, it's time to start.
Instead of searching for Tassel refugees all over the world in the valley, it is better to recruit directly from Tassel.
Wallon and their efficiency was very high, and by the time Gavin left the Hammer of Justice the next morning, all the information related to the cursed items had been compiled into an inventory manual and handed over to Gavin to carry.
Gavin did not personally escort the grain back to the Land of the Three Rivers, but gave it to Anna and the six Treants.
He and Luna took off directly from the cliff behind the Hammer of Justice and flew back to the Vizeme Manor.
Of course, it is not riding, but spreading the energy dragon wings and flying by itself, and the progress of the relationship between the two sides is not so fast.
This is the trouble with high-intelligence mounts, and they must be emotionally cultivated.
But once tamed, the benefits are also enormous.
This mount is highly coordinated in combat.
Previously, Gavin and Evantha had already played with flowers in the rocks, and the airborne attack was not once or twice.
Although Evantha fell into the sleeping of the growth dragon, but the red dragon Roderick did not, but this kind of mount is too eye-catching in the valley, the kind that is more eye-catching than the dog demon, and Gavin is not going to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Luna also has a huge advantage that dragons don't have, being used both land and air.
It can not only fight in the air, but also run and fight on the ground like an ordinary war horse.
She has angel wings as huge as Pegasus, but she can hide in her body like Gavin's energy dragon wings.
Gavin hadn't seen her fly at full strength, but her speed was definitely not slow, even comparable to Evanza's.
Luna also has another benefit, that is, she is good enough to be good-looking, and she is from the forest good camp, and in the future, riding her to contact with the good races, including the forest race, is easy to get favorability points.
He had suffered enough of the loss of using the dog demon as a mount before, and he had already moved to find a mount with a similar background, but he never had a chance.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
