Gavin had heard quite a bit about Darren.

Although he is only fourteen years old, he is the best one of the young generation in Nottburg, not only has excellent adaptability, but also has enough self-discipline, has super resilience and perseverance, and even carried out Gavin's casual teaching to the end, it is said that the daily training is amazing, not only more than most adults, but even more than many professionals.

The effort is proportional to the gain, which allowed him to start a career template at the age of fourteen.

What really made him stand out was the fragment of the Book of Strategies that Gavin gave him at the beginning, and he actually learned something from it and put it into practice, leading a group of children to form the Boy Scouts, which played an unexpected role in a battle.

Zalanda simply recruited him into the Noether Guard, and this became the beginning of his brilliance, he used his mind to impress those Noether veterans, and it was from him that Zalanda's army soldiers paid more and more attention to the book of strategy.

Unlike those soldiers who revere the Strategist Lady because of this, Darren still has a secret hidden in his heart, a secret that only he and the Zalanda City Lord know, and the Book of Strategy was not given to Zalanda by the Strategy Lady as outsiders think, but was written by his own young master, Gavin Nott, and handed over to the Zalanda City Lord by himself.

They all believe in the wrong person, and the one who should be honored for this is Young Master Gavin.

But limited by the oath, he had no way to correct other people's views, so he could only angrily declare to the outside world that he was a student of Young Master Gavin, and everything was taught to him by Young Master Gavin.

"Well, I didn't misunderstand the person at the beginning, you not only did a great job of completing the task I gave you, but you also left me such a big surprise." Gavin stepped forward to help Darren up and laughed heartily.

Life is a wonderful situation.

At first, he didn't realize that Darren turned out to be a piece of jade, and he did it completely as he pleased, but he didn't expect that he would harvest a good seedling in the end.

Darren had a nervousness that he couldn't hide, "Young Master, General Copperfield has a good reputation, my ability is not as strong as he said, let me command so many regular knights, so many people, far beyond my ability, my life and death alone is small, and the life and death of countless soldiers and civilians is big." ”

So far, he has led the most 100-man rangers.

Now that he is not allowed to lead a corps of 2,000 people, he has to form it himself, he is a little confused, he can fully express his meaning in this situation, and at his age, he can be regarded as extremely capable.

"Ability is such a thing, sometimes I feel it, but it is not as accurate as outsiders see, I understand General Copperfield's temperament, I have always said one thing, seek truth from facts, he said you can do it, you must do it, but you haven't discovered it yourself." Gavin patted Darren on the shoulder and cheered him on, "But in this matter, it's not me who has the final say, but the city lord of Zalanda, city lord, are you reluctant to let people go?" ”

Although the two are closely related, and Zalanda has made it clear that he will send him to the position of Baron Noether and return the original number of the Noether Guard, the flow of some things is essential.

Because in her position, she also represents an interest group.

"As long as Darren nods himself, I have no opinion." Zalanda said cheerfully.

"Darren." Everyone's eyes were focused on the young man again.

"Darren is willing to swear to follow the young master." Darren was excited and wanted to kneel again, but was grabbed by a big hand like an iron tong.

"Very well, this matter is settled." Gavin decided, "This vanguard army of partial vans will be handed over to Commander Darren, and all the war horses will be given priority to their use, ensuring that each car is equipped with four fast horses, one war horse per person, a thousand people equipped with spears, and a thousand people equipped with bows and crossbows." ”

The number of horses in Dalauma is only in short supply, not at all, Tesser is a knightly kingdom after all, and horses are an important means of transportation, as long as there are conditions for the owner of the estate, or even the farmer, he will keep a few horses in captivity and use them as a means of transportation.

The 2,000 men brought with him by Copperfield were all on war horses, and some even had one or two spare horses, or pack horses.

Eighty percent of these war horses and horses are the personal belongings of these soldiers and mercenaries, and naturally they cannot be requisitioned casually.

But you can buy the excess from them at a high price and distribute it to the places where it is in short supply, which is also the next thing to do.

Gavin turned to look at the other woman who stood out from the crowd and said, "Lady Kelissa, I would like to ask you to be the lieutenant commander of this legion, and lead all the Goliaths to form General Darren's personal guard and assist him in controlling the entire army. ”

Just now he had already scanned Darren's specific attributes, and he was not a warrior, but a battlefield mage with a spell-casting profession unique to Tesser, with only three class levels.

This type of mage usually undergoes various military training from an early age, and does not require much mage knowledge, because this class gives up some of the promotion of regular mages (only half of the spell slots of regular mages), and specializes in combat casting and wand wids.

The professional level of three battlefield mages is enough for them to use the three-ring spell wand like a level 6 ordinary mage, the most representative of which is naturally the fireball wand and the paralysis wand, making them spell turrets on the battlefield, providing group attack and control support.

His attributes are well-proportioned, all above twelve points, and the highest is naturally intelligence, which reaches fourteen points.

In front of Gavin's group of demons, it is naturally not enough to see, but in the case of peers, especially in the absence of basic education, it is already considered to be born with high intelligence.

Want to control an army, especially an army with a majority of unruly mercenaries.

As Copperfield said, personal combat effectiveness is a big shortcoming of Darren, and it is too late to use the elite grace of Zalanda's way of war to catalyze the promotion to transcendence.

Gavin can only equip him with a strong lieutenant and a strong group of personal guards, and this group of tall men and amazing melee ability Goliath is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Yes." Kelissa stood up and answered.

When she agreed to help Gavin and escort the Rauma immigrants to the Vale, she had already adjusted her mindset and thought of herself as one of Gavin's soldiers.

Gavin turned his head to the young man who was a little confused, as if he was dreaming, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, can you do it, try it and you will know, you can put away this book, this is a new way of war, it contains a record of the application of the van car and the car formation, give you three days, come up with a set of drafts for preparing for the vanguard army and the specific use of the car formation, don't care about right or wrong, think boldly, forming a legion is not your business alone, some preparatory work, we will also assist from the side." ”

This matter is only a preliminary decision, and whether Darren can be qualified as the commander of the partial van corps depends on his next performance.

Darren was now being driven to the shelves, took the copy of the way of war in Gavin's hand, and said loudly: "I will definitely do my best to complete this matter, but I have a request, and I also ask the young master and the city lord to allow it." ”

"Say."

"Can you transfer to me the cavalry brigade I originally led?"

After Gavin and Zalanda looked at each other, Gavin nodded and said, "As long as you can convince them to follow you, you can do that, but I have to warn you in advance, nepotism is not advisable, especially this kind of newly formed legion." ”

Darren saluted respectfully and said: "Follow the young master's teachings, I just need my own cronies, so that I can understand and control the entire army, as for how much they can do, it depends on their ability, I will not be promoted at will because of their relationship with us, nor will I be rewarded for their merits in order to avoid suspicion." ”

Gavin laughed, "Look, you've taken the first step, continue to work in this direction, you can sit down." ”

With a wave of his hand, Gavin ordered another seat to be added.

Darren couldn't refuse, so he could only sit down, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he sat in a corner.

Whether it was his age or strength, he felt that sitting in this room, his heart was inexplicably weak.

This is a normal phenomenon of leapfrogging promotion, he still needs a period of time to adapt, the most important thing is to accumulate his self-confidence, the easiest way is to quickly accumulate outstanding military exploits, this is not something you want to have.

Gavin didn't pay attention to Darren's careful thoughts, but turned to Nora and said, "The Nott Guards also need to be expanded, give you a thousand places, whether it is recruited from immigrants or from those mercenaries, before you go, pull up a shelf for me, and recruit full." ”

For a migration force of tens of thousands of people, a cavalry force of 100 people is too little.

A thousand are still built up, with the Bloodclaw Legion in front of them to help them clear the way.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Nora replied confidently.

The hundred Noether Guards in her hands were originally used as seeds, and each with ten recruits, it was a thousand-man army.

As for the run-in training, it can only be done on the road.

After a series of appointments, the framework of the entire immigration team was basically set up, and then civilians could be stuffed into it.

There were still a few more key appointments, so Gavin no longer consulted everyone's opinions, but directly said: "Anna, you serve as the quartermaster and part-time medical team leader of this migration, responsible for coordinating the materials we carry, organizing all the priests and doctors in the immigrants, forming a medical team, and handling various medical affairs.

Lola, you are responsible for controlling all the Tree Tree and Enlightenment Trees, assisting Anna in supervising and distributing the materials, and you must formulate the corresponding processes as soon as possible to ensure the control of the materials. ”

This matter is naturally also the top priority.

The food consumed by people every day will be a terrifying number, and it must be managed by a special team and controlled by trustworthy people.

Gavin is now determined to groom Anna in this direction.

Although Anna is still a little stunned, she doesn't know the specific scale of this migration, and with a little experience accumulated in Anfil Village, she has some clue this time.

Zalanda asked a new question on the side: "How are you going to balance the wealth of those immigrants, some of whom have gone on the road with rich food, and some who are poor and white?" If it is not done well, it will stimulate internal contradictions. ”

"I've thought about it." Gavin frowned involuntarily, "I have a preliminary idea, that is, according to the market price, all the food in the hands of those citizens will be purchased, and unified management and distribution will be carried out, and the military stove will be set up in a unit of 100 people, which will save a lot of time."

And those bulky items that citizens need to carry, after registering and making a book, I will pass through the shadow plane and transport them to the manor, and when the time comes, only personnel need to be on the road, which will be much lighter. ”

This is a typical model of army management.

When the time comes, they will lead not a group of immigrants, but an army.

"If you coincide with me, I will personally come forward to help advance this matter." Zalanda took the initiative.

"This matter is none other than the city lord, and others don't have such a high influence, after all, this is a big matter related to their life and death, and it is likely to give rise to resistance." Gavin couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, the best solution to this matter is not to pay cash on the spot, but to wait until they arrive in the valley, and then pay them, or use food to pay for cash, but this matter requires a very high degree of trust, but I am afraid that the city lord will not have it." ”

"Gaining the trust of the people is a long way to go, and as long as you can successfully bring them back to the valley, you will be able to achieve this first." Zalanda also knows the difficulty of this matter, "Even I can't convince them 100%, so we have to prepare for this matter, those who are willing to sell the grain to will be responsible for the whole food supply, and those who are not willing to sell to us will let them solve it on their own until they sell the grain to us, I estimate that a large part of the grain transaction will be completed on the road, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"It's really an effective compromise." Gavin agreed, "The process of migration will also be a process of us running in with each other to gain trust, just according to what the lord of the city said." ”

What Gavin and Zalanda said has a major premise, that is, if the food is provided enough on the road, and the distribution is fair and reasonable, those citizens will sell the food to them one after another, and distribute it and manage it in a unified manner, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

In this regard, not only the person concerned, Gavin, but even Zalanda is deeply confident, because she believes that Gavin is not the kind of person who is short-sighted and will not do stupid things for petty profits.

With the introduction of a series of policies, it really caused an uproar throughout Dalauma.

"What do you think about selling the grain to the Gavin lords and distributing it to the military administration?"

"There are pros and cons."

"Let's talk about it in detail."

"The advantage is that we sell the grain to Lord Gavin, which means that he bears the cost of migrating food for free, reducing our burden along the way, as long as he goes on the road with the simplest luggage, he is now at the recruitment point, showing a lot of real money, can't do fake, I heard that someone has already entered the military management, and the food provided is very good."

"What about the drawbacks?"

"The disadvantage is that without food in hand, we are completely tied to Lord Gavin, and we can only follow him all the way to the dark, once there is a shortage of food, it is collective, at that time, everything can only be pinned on Lord Gavin's way of doing things."

"I don't think the drawbacks you mentioned don't exist, since we choose to embark on the road of migration thousands of miles away, don't we choose to believe in the city lord of Zalanda, believe in the character of Lord Gavin, and believe that we can seek a better life in the valley?

If he can't give him this trust, it is better to stay in Dalauma honestly, at least without any risk.

As for being completely bound, when you get to the wilderness, even if you are given enough food, do you dare to leave the big team alone and go into the wilderness?

Once on the road, we must follow the large group to the dark, and we must trust Lord Gavin.

When the time comes, they choose to forcibly requisition food and unify military management, how are you going to deal with it?

Therefore, it is the most correct choice to obey the big policy, sell all the food and materials to the lord of Gavin, and go on the road with gold coins.

If the lord wants to gain our allegiance, he must treat us well, even if it is a slave, and those slave owners will not let them starve to death on the road, otherwise they will lose their value. ”

"Sir's words are the real wise words, the whole thing, the analysis is extremely thorough, anyway, with the food in my own hands, there is no way to go to the valley, it is better to leave it to Lord Gavin from the beginning.

When the time comes, even this grain will be saved, and I have heard that the valley is a well-known granary, and we can buy more grain with the gold coins in our hands. ”

"Yes, even if we have enough food to eat on the road, what will we do when we get to the valley? In the end, you can't rely on Lord Gavin? The decision is nothing more than whether to do it early or late. ”

"Even if it's selling, don't be so sincere, prepare some easy-to-carry food in advance, and you can be emergency when it's critical."

"Ha, this little bit of caution, even a stupid person will have it."

"If you say that, I'm not even as stupid."

"You won't have nothing left and sell them all, will you?"

"Yes, anyway, I'm alone, I'm fed, the whole family is not hungry, don't forget my old job, I'm a hunter, as long as I have a bow in my hand, walking in the wilderness, and I can't eat?"

"That's right, I heard that hunters like you are being recruited earlier, and a hunting team is being prepared, presumably for hunting supplies along the way."

"I just came back from there and gave me this little sign to report in the barracks, and I don't know what kind of work I was assigned."

"No matter what kind of work, it's a good thing, I heard that no matter what kind of work, there will be corresponding subsidies, and when it comes to the valley, it will be settled in a unified manner."

"And this kind of good thing? Don't know if there's a job for me? ”

"You can go and ask, and if you don't get the worst, you can still be a collector."

"Let's go and have a look."
