Chapter 555: Many Birds with One Stone

The matter of donating materials is not simply because Gavin is wealthy, but because the stalls of their caravan on the Dragon Coast are too large, and in a short period of time, they have traded back a large amount of materials, and when they go on the road again, some of them must be streamlined, and they can be used to give favors.

Although Gavin rejected the title of Lady Strategy's voter, the two sides became more and more intimate, and Catherine, Zalanda, and Veranica, the top three believers of Lady Strategy, all converged.

What Gavin values most is the potential of the Yin Red War Academy, which will be an important source of middle and low-level officers in Faeron, and then put his own stamp on it, especially those civilian cadets who are funded by themselves, will be full of natural affection for him, which is conducive to recruiting under his command.

"What conditions? Let's hear it. In the depths of Catherine's eyes, there was a hint of joy that could not be concealed, the Yin Hong War Academy had not been established for a long time, and there was another factor that could not be ignored, her financial resources were stretched.

The Land of Death, where the Strategic Battle Fortress is located, is not a blessed land, it is also an area with frequent wars, the Land of Death, the Troll's Claw, and the Troll Mountain are currently dominated by various monster tribes, and all they can protect is the twenty kilometers of land around the Strategic Battle Fortress.

Not to mention that they are located in the Monster Tribe of the Supreme Wasteland on the way south.

Maintaining an army alone is a huge drain, and the strategic battle fortress was completely destroyed before it was recaptured by itself, and it has not yet been completely repaired, and the preparation of a completely unproductive academy is like a bottomless pit, with a huge upfront investment and an unusually slow return.

The faith of the Lady of Strategy has only just begun to expand, and there are really few companies that can provide them with financial assistance.

The only thing that is closely related is the church and the temple in Tampas, but the god of war is not the god of wealth, and the accumulation of wealth has never been their good at projects.

As for the strategy lady, it is still the same sentence, God is not omnipotent, they also have to follow the most basic law of conservation of matter, the various material creations they shape, that is to consume divine power, and her followers are those, the divine divine power provided to her is just a little, she calculates and uses it every day, where is the energy to support Catherine.

Doing so would also violate the laws of belief in the gods, even if you build more temples for yourself, it will be useless, because it will not play the role of gathering faith at all - if you build enough temples, your own divine power will become stronger, and no one can compare to Woking, the goddess of wealth.

She is not now reduced to the end where her whereabouts are unknown, and the priesthood of wealth is temporarily controlled by the goddess of joy.

Building a temple is the process of proving one's faith, and overcoming all kinds of difficulties is to sharpen one's faith, so that this kind of temple can be meaningful, and can it become a tool for gods to gather strength, and the same is true for the Yinhong War Academy.

Before this, Catherine had heard from Veranika about Gavin's current wealth, but she didn't expect to be so bold, as soon as he made a move, it was three million, not to mention the follow-up investment, which was no longer simply a matter of being able to form the Yin Red War Academy, but to make it twice as large as she originally planned, and the number of the first batch of cadets increased from the original five hundred to one thousand.

"First of all, I hope that Ms. Catherine will put aside the worldly ideas and accept some more alternative students to study in the academy." Gavin made his first condition, after all, he was going to take the route of multiracial integration in the future, and there would be more and more races under his command.

Catherine said thoughtfully, "You can't mean the big goblin, right?" ”

Now that the world knows that Bloodgap City was given a goblin knight by Gavin, relying on the Giant's Plain, a force belonging to the goblins and the rise of the city is inevitable.

"That's right, it's a big goblin." Gavin nodded, "I want at least three hundred of the first batch of students, but rest assured, their study fees do not need to be reduced, they will go to study at their own expense." ”

After a deep sigh, Catherine replied: "Even if I agree with them to join the academy, due to their background, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to integrate into other intelligent races, if they simply learn strategy and tactics, there is no need to go to the academy at all, we can completely select some instructors from the academy and send them to Bloodgap City to teach those big goblins military strategies and tactics, I guarantee that what they learn from them is exactly the same as what they learned in the academy."

In this way, not only can you save the resources of the academy, but you can also train a greater number of goblin officers at one time. ”

As the first voter of the Lady of Strategy, Catherine naturally has no shortage of workarounds, and she knows that there is no such thing as eating lunch for nothing, and since the other party spends so much money to support herself, she should have something to return on her side.

This is true even if you believe in the same god, and even if you believe in the same god, you pay attention to a courtesy.

Gavin thought that this was indeed the truth, to form a friendship with classmates, it is enough to have those normal races send students, there is no need to let those goblins get involved, and it can also ensure the purity of the goblin army, which is not easy to be infected by external forces, and changed his mind and said: "Originally, I still wanted to mention it in the second condition, since this is the case, I will come to the first condition, I hope to be able to open a branch of the Yinhong War College with Madame, I will provide manpower and material resources, and I will be responsible for recruiting students, Madam only needs to send instructors, One in the Blood Gorge City, and one in the Battle Valley. ”

"It's something you can't ask for." For Catherine, it's not a condition, it's a door-to-door benefit.

Her main purpose in opening the Yin Hong War Academy was to spread the faith of Ms. Strategy, and the larger the scale, the better, as for teaching humans or other intelligent races, it didn't matter to Ms. Strategy.

Her priesthood is not limited to human beings, but all the affairs that happen to Faeron and related to it, including the strategic planning used by those monsters in their wars, are limited by knowledge, which rarely happens, and more of a barbaric war represented by Usgar.

It's just that Catherine was born in an orthodox human race, and her moral nature of belonging to humanity prevails, and she prefers to use the ability of the Stratagem to protect humans and other good and intelligent races.

Gavin turned his gaze to the leader of the Sword Monastery, Adaner, and said, "Master, I hope that the War College in Battle Valley will be located in the Sword Monastery, and the restoration and construction of this monastery will be completely under my responsibility. ”

This trick is the most typical one to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Underneath the Sword Monastery, there are not one, but several, portals, which are important portals in and out of Battle Valley.

Even if it doesn't involve the future layout of the war, and simply wants to develop and grow in the Battle Valley, this place must be in his own hands, since he chose the Battle Valley as his starting point, and the Sword Monastery was destroyed by the Drow Elves in a surprise attack, he is not ready to let it happen again.

The fundamental reason why the Sword Monastery was almost destroyed at the beginning was not simply a surprise, but the most important thing was that its own strength was relatively weak, the Sword Monastery at its peak, with the Tampas War Sacrifice and War Knights, was only two or three hundred, and the number of Drow Elf Vanguard was several times that of them, not to mention the attached monster corps and summoned demons.

But if you want to get your hands on a temple of the god of war, if you don't have a reasonable excuse, then you're just making yourself uncomfortable.

Now is the perfect opportunity to deliver to your door, flawlessly.

"This ...... This one...... Not quite right, right? Eldan didn't expect this kind of good thing to befall him.

The dilemma he faced was the same as Catherine's, in terms of swordsmanship, he didn't dare to say that he was unparalleled in the world, but he was also a top master, but in terms of the ability to make money and manage money, he couldn't even compare with an ordinary businessman, and their wealth mainly came from the donations of ordinary people.

But the problem is that the Battle Valley is vast and sparsely populated, and the Monastery of the Sword was a lost place before this, similar in nature to the Land of the Three Rivers.

Except for the dozens of Tampas believers in the Sword Monastery, there is not a single Mao person within a radius of dozens of kilometers, where did the donation come from, they are now completely relying on their own hands, building brick by brick, and the progress is not generally slow - they are not much faster than those farmers with their swords and hands.

If they can get Gavin and their help, they can drag hundreds of people over at will, and the construction speed will increase with a whoosh, and the scale will be just around the corner.

Gai Wenming asked knowingly, "What?" Master Eldan is worried that building a War College for the Lady of Strategy in the Holy Land of the Lord of War will desecrate him? ”

"How is that possible?" Eldan shook his head again and again, "The father-daughter friendship between my lord and the lady of strategy is well known to the world, and all the temples of war must add a shrine to the lady, and enjoy the worship with him, and it is our greatest honor to be able to establish a lady's war college in our monastery, but our convent is in the beginning of construction, and most of the area is still in ruins, and the investment will be quite large at that time, and we have nothing to repay the knight." ”

Gavin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master, you are very wrong to think so, what you are building now is not a personal residence, but the Temple of the Lord of War, and it is my greatest honor to be able to build a temple for him, what is it to spend some mundane possessions?"

And the master also underestimated the value of the Holy Land of God, right? If I'm right, if you practice martial arts in your Sword Academy, you will have a speed increase, and you may even have an epiphany, or open up the opportunity for the divine grace of the god of war, right? ”

"That's right." Eldan generously admitted, "The Convent of the Sword is indeed imbued with a large amount of war power right now, and it has the ability to do so. ”

This is true not only in the land of the gods of Tampas, but also in the places where the gods first came down.

Because at that time, they did not come normally, but were directly defeated from the kingdom of God by the gods, and forcibly transformed into the state of saints, causing a large number of divine powers to collapse into the material plane, forming some special fields exclusive to them, and the effects had a close relationship with their priesthood, and the lord of war was of course related to war.

"I would also like to ask the master to serve as the chief combat instructor of this academy, responsible for teaching those students combat martial arts." Gavin took the opportunity to offer new conditions.

Tampas can become the god of war of Ferron, relying not only on opportunism, but also on the world's best force.

Fighting alone, if he is called second, no one in the entire Faren will dare to call him first.

His devout disciples, one by one, were all battle-hardened warriors with a wealth of fighting skills, including those exclusive sacrifices, who favored warriors more than priests.

Eldan is naturally also a leader among them, especially with sword skills, which is absolutely outstanding, which can be seen from his title of sword master.

In the Church of Tampas, there is no shortcut to this title, and one must prove with the sword in one's hand that one is worthy of the title, and must be recognized by at least three or more sword masters, and defeat or tie one of them in order to be eligible.

"It's my pleasure." Erdan said without hesitation.

In many cities, the war rituals of the Temple of War serve as martial arts instructors or militia trainers, whose task is to actively urge people to prepare for war, whether it is to resist invasion or prepare for invasion.

Nothing to prepare is a dereliction of duty on the part of the god of war and a dereliction of duty on the part of the sacrifices of war.

Now is the time to take the specs up to the next level, and to influence an army by teaching a group of mid- and lower-level commanders, is a shortcut to expanding the influence of the god of war.

"If I can, I would like to send some of my instructors to your Sword Monastery to learn combat techniques." Catherine was impressed when she saw the stitches, no wonder the Lady of Strategy had placed a heavy bet on this young man, who had turned his mind too quickly, and in a short period of time, he adjusted his plan, and put a group of Tampas believers in his pocket and tied them to his chariot.

According to the speed of the other party's development, once the conqueror's army successfully arrived in the Battle Valley, the speed and scale of their branch establishment might even exceed the main courtyard she had built in the Land of the Dead, after all, the manpower and material resources of the people were there.

Without waiting for Eldan to answer, Gavin couldn't help but smile and said: "Madam's request is a bit out of the ordinary, the God of Strategy and the Strategy Lady themselves are not separated, when the time comes, the instructors you send to the branch will have the dual identity of instructor and student, and after they have achieved something, they can go to other branches or the main courtyard to rotate, and even let them conduct small-scale actual combat, whether it is the place where the lady is dead, or the Giant Plains where Blood Gorge City is located, it is a good place to go." ”

"It's something I'm thinking about too much." Catherine thought for a moment that this was indeed the truth, "This matter is decided for the time being, the first condition is finished, what about the second condition?" ”

She is now full of expectations for Gavin's so-called conditions, because the starting point is different, resulting in the interests between the two, many times not only do not conflict, but complement each other, just the first condition, in addition to the matter of the big goblin, somewhat psychological resistance, for her, on the contrary, it is beneficial, so that their Yin Red War College has changed from one point to three, and the new two are purely for nothing.

"The second condition is an extension of the first condition, on the side of the main college, please reserve three hundred places for me, I will select three hundred students to go over, and for the students who have graduated from the main college, I hope to get the right of priority recruitment." Gavin said unceremoniously.

There is a branch of the Battle Valley, and he still chooses to send students to the main courtyard, the main purpose is to intersect with other students through these students, so as to generate a friendship with classmates.

It is convenient for you to recruit later, even if you can't recruit it, you can encounter many variables on the battlefield in the future.

Gavin believed that the future direction of the war in the entire Faeron would be guided by the officers trained by the Crimson War Academy, both with the monster race and the intelligent race itself.

Tampas's vigorous cultivation of the strategy lady is to feel the war situation on the continent of Faerun, and to reach the medium point of transformation from barbaric war to strategic war.

This is the general trend of the development of intelligent life to a certain extent.

Tampas has been able to entrench himself as the god of war for so many years, and he is definitely not a brainless man, and if he treats him as a brainless man, the god body has already entered the starry sky and turned into a god corpse.

"As long as you use normal recruitment methods, I have no opinion." Catherine hopes that the more students the academy will cultivate, the better, because this will influence more people and forces, and better spread the influence of the strategist lady.

But she borrowed too much from Gavin's hands, and it was impossible not to give a little benefit.

If he can maintain the current speed of development, with the students trained by their academy to form an invincible army and conquer the city, it will be a great honor for the strategy lady.

Just look at their current army of conquerors, a war of this magnitude is rare in the entire Faeron several times.

"The third condition is that I hope that the lady can equip us with instructors now, I want the middle and low-level officers in the conqueror's army to walk, learn and use at the same time, I believe that when we reach the valley, the shelves of the branch will basically be pulled up, and the barracks are not the best colleges?" Gavin feels that the biggest problem with the middle and low-level officers in his hands is the lack of unified education, which makes them have many problems in cooperating.

In small-scale troops, this kind of problem is not obvious, but in their size, it is an out-and-out big problem.

In order to mobilize them, there are dozens of heralds equipped with them, who shout hoarse every day, and the operation is still not as good as Gavin wants.

Even if this is true for simple migration, it is easy to go wrong in warfare, especially in large-scale sports warfare that requires close coordination.

This is also the significance of the establishment of the Yinhong War Academy, to unify some knowledge of forming and commanding an army, even if an army or an organization is defeated or scattered, multiple formations can be mixed together to quickly reorganize into a combatable army, even if many of them are not in life.
