Chapter 479: The Opportunity Brought by the Blood Claw
Zalanda said in a deep voice: "Bloodclaw Generals, their situation is special, we can only refer to them, and we can't completely learn from them, after all, they are all high-quality soldiers.
They have been in a state of movement, fighting fast, and before those monster tribes can react, they have already killed, and the soft bones that can be gnawed are swallowed in one gulp.
There is no way to gnaw down, so they just retreat away, and they can't find the direction if they want to chase it.
But large-scale immigration is different, with people and cars, families and mouths, and slow movement, there will definitely be a large number of monster tribes around to follow, and once they accumulate a sufficient number, they will attack in groups. ”
This is her experience, when she brought the soldiers and civilians of Fort Notte to Darauma, a short distance of 200 kilometers, it was far more difficult than leading an army to travel thousands of miles.
After listening to this analysis, the goblin chief couldn't help but take a few deep glances at Zalanda, and the other party's analysis was completely to the point, as if she had witnessed their tactics along the way.
Those who can cooperate with Lord Gavin are really not ordinary people.
The Great Goblin Chief took the initiative to ask for orders: "If you enter rashly, it is indeed easy to have the problem that the lady said, but if you make all the preparations in advance, it is not impossible to think of it."
I am willing to lead the Bloodclaw Legion as the vanguard and return to the Giant's Plain, and I will burn and clear a path for the Lord to burn, so that they can only flee with their tails between their legs, instead of following and peeping. ”
At the end, Bloodclaw couldn't help but lick his fangs and smiled.
It's just that this smile, falling in the eyes of others, has a strong smell of blood, the kind that can completely drown people in the face.
Gavin and Zalanda couldn't help but glance at each other again, this proposal is really exciting.
Bloodclaw: They have proven that they have an advantage in the wilderness that humans do not have.
Their forces are not fighting less and less, but fighting more and more.
The most important thing is that as a monster race, their moral bottom line is different from that of humans.
For example, burning the land and destroying forests, such things that go against nature, human beings must consider the reaction of the gods of nature, and they dare not use it easily.
The big goblins don't have this burden, they believe in the mighty, the god of the goblin race, Magrubit, the main thing is war and destruction, the gods dare to come, he can fight-for-tat, and is very happy to do that, he is an out-and-out war madman - this is the operation of the multiverse, the gods do not do whatever they want, they also need to be restricted, especially after turbulent years, this shackle is tighter and more.
Gavin nodded, "It's a great proposition indeed, but in this case, you're working too hard and don't have a chance to fix it at all." ”
Bloodclaw couldn't help but laugh and said, "This kind of life is what we like the most, on the contrary, the comfortable life during that time in the Dragon Oak Collar is a kind of torture for us." ”
The Great Goblins are known as a warlord race, not without reason, and they have a fanaticism for war and expansion that no other race can understand.
"Since there is an elite army to open the way, part of our route can be determined by taking the opportunity, just take the path they came, your task is to plow the large and small monster tribes along the way to me several times."
After Gavin made up his mind, he began to arrange his troops, "This time you are not alone, I have arranged a second army from the rocklands, and they are on their way, I will make them divert to the Giant's Plain.
When you arrive here again, don't rush into an all-out war, still focus on sports warfare as you did when you came, and fight through this place again, and after meeting with them, you will turn back and kill through again, and then you will join our army of immigrants, and then it will not be too late to start a full-scale sweep.
I believe that after your successive onslaughts, it will greatly deter those monster communities, and they will not have the courage to show their faces in front of you again, and the army of immigrants will take the opportunity to pass through. ”
"This method works!" Bloodclaw nodded involuntarily, this is nothing more than repeating what they did before, without any difficulty, on the contrary, they can accumulate more troops.
They are more and more elite the more they fight.
After a moment's pause, Gavin continued, "When the time comes, I'll give you a special teammate who will mark the wilderness, which will be the route for the army of immigrants. ”
The special teammate Gavin is talking about is, of course, Luna, the half-moon pony, her corrupt crucible, which is the artifact of this wilderness path.
Before the elite monster army of the Bloodclaw Legion is in place, this will naturally do more harm than good, which is easy for people with intentions to touch the route of the immigrant army and set up ambushes along the way.
Now the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it will be easier to expand the results of their clean-up work along this temporary road.
Before seeing the half-moon foal, Bloodclaw probably had no idea about it, and Gavin didn't leave him a chance to express his opinion, but turned to Zalanda and said, "Before they return to the battlefield, give them the equipment first, and apply special markings to cover it." ”
The equipment he was talking about was the surplus equipment from the hands of the Santarin Society.
Since the Bloodclaw Legion had too many variables before, Gavin didn't consider them at all.
Rather, it is ready to use these equipment to arm the army of migrants for armed migration.
It's just that many of those equipment are engraved with exclusive logos, and Gavin will hand them over to Zalanda first, so that he can help organize a large number of blacksmiths to remove them.
Now hand it over to the Bloodclaw Legion, not only can they better exert their power, but they also don't have as many scruples as before, after all, the radiation influence of the Santarin Society is mainly in the Northland, and the devil's claws have not yet extended to areas dominated by monsters such as the Giant Plains.
"As it should be." Zalanda agrees with this scheme of use.
"This book of military strategy, you can study it at your leisure." Gavin handed a book to the goblin warlord and said, "This is the way of war for the Stratagem Lady, and it will help you to flip through it." ”
This book of the Way of War, naturally, is not the original version of Zaranda, but a transcribed version, and does not have any magical powers.
But it is still very useful for a general who commands battles entirely on instinct and experience, at least to broaden his tactical command ideas.
"Thank you, Lordship, for your kindness." Bloodclaw respectfully took the book from Gavin's hand, although he didn't read it, but since the other party's solemn explanation was definitely not ordinary, especially about a goddess who used strategy as a priesthood, she must have her own unique view of war.
"Do you have a shortage of food? What do you need me to prepare for you? Gavin asked.
From the very beginning, the Bloodclaw Legion did not bring sufficient food on the road, but fed the war with war, and found a way to solve it on its own from those monster tribes and wild creatures.
But there are some things that cannot be effectively supplemented, such as table salt.
Sure enough, Bloodclaw replied without thinking: "Salt, a lot of salt, now that the weather is hot, the soldiers sweat heavily, and the meat is not easy to store for a long time, so it must be salted with salt." ”
Gavin turned his gaze to Zaranda, a daily item that could only be solved with the help of her, the head of the earth.
Zalanda thought for a moment and said, "Give me three days, and I'll find a way to raise a batch of salt." ”
Obviously, it is not easy for her to take out a large amount of table salt without a quick start.
The table salt of Ferun is mainly sea salt.
Because it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and there is the world's largest inland sea, the sea of stars in the interior, most of the area is not short of salt.
The Isis River, which Dalauma relies on, directly enters the sea, and there are no major terrain fluctuations along the way, and under normal circumstances, there is no shortage of salt.
At least until Zalanda took over, there was no shortage.
However, as the warlords and aristocrats launched an economic blockade against it, the originally cheap salt began to become scarce.
Gavin naturally understood Zalanda's predicament and said: "You help the Bloodclaw General prepare, enough for them to sweep through the Giant Plains again, and the rest can send people to purchase in the cities along the Dragon Lake, and purchase a little more to come back, on the one hand, to supplement Dalauma's use, and on the other hand, to prepare for the immigrant army." ”
Although the name of Dragon Lake is a lake, it is actually a part of the sea, which is directly connected to the Falling Star Sea through the Dragon Lake Strait, and it is opposite Cormier, which wraps the entire southern part of the Purple Dragon Kingdom.
"This is a good solution, you sent someone to come forward to procure? Or do I send someone? Zalanda asked.
The matter of procurement, of course, cannot be handed over to the bloodclaws to them, they will only rob.
"You send people, I really don't have the talent to do it." As his strength continued to grow, Gavin felt that instead of having more and more available talents in his hands, he felt that he was becoming more and more insufficient.
In addition to his territory being too scattered, but also because his main subjects belong to unconventional races and are too specialized, which makes them extremely powerful in a certain aspect, which normal humans can't beat, such as the advantage of tree body size, the advantage of fine planting, the advantage of kobold mining and burrowing, the advantage of woad tree people and so on.
But in some things, there is no way to reuse it.
This is the case with trade procurement.
He increasingly felt the need to build his own official caravan.
"Okay." Zalanda readily agreed.
"It's not a way to be stuck in their necks like this." Gavin took the opportunity to turn the conversation to Zaranda's predicament, "It's better to take the opportunity to break this blockade." ”
Zalanda's gaze involuntarily fell on Bloodclaw's body, and said thoughtfully, "You mean, you want to use Bloodclaw General to put pressure on Saradas?" ”
"That's right." Gavin waved his hand, and a large military map of Tesser's appeared in front of everyone, "Most of Tesser's military towns are concentrated on the western coast and the Three River Valleys, and this direction affects the whole body.
But to the west, there is only one Saradas, and although they have the best heavy cavalry of Tesser, they are all the same, and when the time comes, General Bloodclaw, leads his troops south, and we can surround them on all three sides.
General Bloodclaw and his legion are outside of Tesser's peace agreement.
As long as it is torn apart, the east will be completely opened, and the so-called economic blockade of the Tayser warlords and nobles will be gone. ”
Originally, Gavin and the others just planned to throw the Bloodclaw Legion into the mountain range, as a pawn that should be combined inside and outside, even if it did not completely solve the scourge of the goblins in the mountain range, they would effectively suppress it and win a longer period of peace and development for themselves.
Unexpectedly, the blood claws brought them a surprise, their strength expanded so quickly, they could completely become the spoilers of the situation of the Tassel war, and destroy the situation of the Tassel under their control.
"This is indeed a way to break the game, but if you really want to pose a threat to Saradas, General Bloodclaw's current strength is far from enough." Zalanda shook her head and said, "Although Saradas only has one city, their heritage is beyond your imagination.
Not only do they have some of the best heavy cavalry in Tesser, but they also have a large number of monster mercenaries, and as far as I know, they also have a large army of no less than 5,000 goblins, stationed in the Omralan Mountains all year round. ”
"So much?" Gavin's expression changed slightly, "You mean that the Omlaran Mountains are not only not a threat to them, but under their control?" ”
"Yes." Zalanda nodded and said, "There is a gem called Omlaran produced in the Omlaran Mountains, which has a special effect on mages, and it has always been expensive and in short supply.
Even so, the Saladas family became the first family of Tesser, second only to the royal family, and supported a heavy cavalry of more than 3,000 people all year round to deter the surrounding area.
The decline of the royal family was marked by the loss of the right to mine the Omlaran gemstone more than half a century ago.
Although the blame has been placed on the great goblins of the Omlaran Mountains, everyone knows that the Saladas family is the one behind it.
It took only half a year for them to reclaim the Omlaran Gem Pit, but never intended to return it to the royal family.
In the first few years, they would also pay a part of the gem tax to show their loyalty to the royal family, and in the end, in the name of the serious disaster of the surrounding monsters and the need to expand armaments, all taxes were intercepted, including the taxes of Dalauma's later period, which were not handed over to the royal family, but Saradas.
In half a century, they have as many as 5,000 hoplites on the surface alone, and they are the out-and-out kings of the east of Tessel.
The reason why they didn't move me and didn't move Dalauma was not because they didn't have the strength, and they weren't simply limited by the agreement of the strategist lady.
Rather, they need a spoiler to completely disrupt the situation in Tesser so that they can seek more power from it.
If we had pointed our troops at them first, how would you guess they would react? ”
Although Faeron did not have a systematic book on strategy, clergy, and the art of war.
But in reality, the use of strategy and war is still slippery.
The Saladas family has successively used a series of military strategies such as killing people with knives, raising self-respect, and supporting soldiers for self-respect.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't do my homework enough, and I took it for granted." Gavin said embarrassedly.
The arrival of the blood claw made him swell a little, forgetting that there was a contrast in military strength.
Zalanda didn't accuse Gavin, but blamed himself: "This matter is my mistake, I didn't share the information of the warlords and nobles of Tassel with you in time, in fact, when I first saw the information about Saradas, I was also taken aback, after all, this family, in the history of Tassel, has not performed too well, and has always been a mediocre border military family." ”
"Then this matter will be discussed again, and in a short period of time, it is still important to focus on the development of its own internal affairs."
"We can't do it in a short time to pose a threat to Saradas, but if we want to bypass his blockade, we already have a way." Zalanda smiled and said, "The Root of the Gods has helped us create a natural forest path that can lead from Darauma to Misnoel, and if you find a way to open the forest passage to the Steam Lake, you can perfectly bypass the city of Saradas, and their heavy cavalry will not dare to rush into the dense forest." ”
"This is what I am going to do, and I will move this forward as soon as possible." Gavin burst into laughter.
In fact, they're already doing it.
Gavin wasn't in Snow, but hauling the dead trees through the Shadow was going on all along.
What restricts the process now is the speed at which the five willows transform to extract the power of the shadow.
At present, there is no better alternative to this.
It can only be a water mill, grinding little by little.
After the tower of domination is enlarged tenfold, the conversion speed of the five willows is not slow at all, and the trees purified every day are counted in hundreds, but they can't stand the large number and area that need to be purified.
In fact, this part is easy to say, as long as the effort is deep, sooner or later there will be a day when it will be finished.
The trouble was the forest passage to the Steam Lake, which was not far away, less than ten kilometers, and was not yet out of the reach of the Tower of Domination.
But this involves the concept of the natural race of the forest, and if one is not well coordinated, the two sides may turn their faces, especially with the drow elves who are good at intrigue and scheming to sow discord among them.
This matter cannot be done brutally, and the right opportunity must be found.
Finding a way to get the Drow elves or the Medusa lords to thunder is a good direction.
The three of them also conducted more in-depth discussions on a series of detailed issues such as migration routes and immigration times, and reached a unified understanding to facilitate the simultaneous development of the plan.
Bloodclaw finally said, "Please also ask the lord to come to the army to review." ”
"When I was in the rocks, I already told you that as long as you come to Tassel as promised, this legion will be in your sole responsibility, no matter how big it grows, this promise will not change, and I am sure you will bring them well." Gavin patted the goblin warlord's stout arm affectionately again.
According to the current development model of the Bloodclaw Legion, the speed at which their soldiers are replaced is not ordinary.
When the Giant Plains is killed two or three more pairs, no one knows how many of them are still the current goblins and goblins.
Instead of wasting effort on them, it is better to grasp the blood claw.
As long as he is determined to follow him, the Bloodclaw Legion is his own.
If he had two hearts, it would be useless to rely on his brief contact with the Bloodclaw Legion.
"Thank you Lord for your trust, I will definitely live up to this trust." Bloodclaw showed a hint of excitement, and the feeling of being trusted was always good.
