Chapter 556: Apostasy Mystery Cloud
"This is simple, these fifty cavalrymen I brought are all left for you, they are all personally trained by the lady, have rich theoretical and practical combat experience, and they will help you reorganize your army." Catherine naturally had no reason to refuse.
This is not a kind of tempering for them, and they do not have the experience of organizing such a large army, and many things need to be explored and learned.
"At present, if there are other problems, we will communicate and negotiate in a timely manner." Gavin nodded in satisfaction.
This kind of win-win business is best discussed, because the interests of both parties are different, and many times, not only do they not conflict but complement each other.
Then everyone had to discuss the situation of Ivanaor, Darnell, Ogst and Eldan had very few places to intervene, their origins determined that they were better at small-scale elite battles, especially the holy warriors of the Hammer of Justice, not to mention this scale of war, many of them had never even seen dozens of holy warriors dispatched, they mainly listened to the analysis of Catherine, the first voter of the Lady of Strategy.
"This war between you and Evantor is no longer a matter of one city and one place, but involves the entire Dragon Coast, involving all the cities and forces here.
If you lose the war with Ivanath, the mercenaries of those cities will surround you like wolves, and you will not be left with any bones to eat.
If they win, it will also be the moment when they are completely united, and not only will they not allow you to continue to conquer the city, but they will not even allow you to stay here any longer, which is driven by their common interests.
But at that time, whether it was war or peace, the initiative was in your hands. "Catherine, as the first voter of the strategist lady, is definitely not blown out, and her eyes on the whole situation are half a layer higher than Catherine and Veranica, although it has something to do with the change in the situation, but the analysis is really convincing.
Gavin couldn't help but ask: "War, how to maximize benefits?" And, what to do? ”
"Once you have chosen to fight, your migration will have to end there, and after taking Evanthor, you must push your army under the city of Bosku as quickly as possible, and take it as quickly as possible, no matter what the cost.
Only in this way can we avoid being attacked on the back and run this place for a long time.
Since you are small and big, it will take you at least five years to completely digest Boscu and Ivanthor, and during this time, you will only be able to defend and not attack, because even if you occupy more cities and land, you will not be able to digest them.
Under your strong pressure, all the cities of the Dragon Coast will break the previous discrete state and enter the state of alliance merger, forming a coalition to fight against you.
If you want to annex the entire Dragon Coast, you have to make a hundred-year plan, because at that time, the Cormier Kingdom and Sambia will definitely not sit idly by, and even if they don't send troops directly, they will secretly stumble, because they don't want a new empire full of aggression to appear in close proximity.
All of this is based on your victories at every turn, and in the event of a major defeat, it will be the moment when you will rebel and leave, for to the people of the Dragon Coast, you are an out-and-out invader, and there is no mass base here, and the current allies may turn their backs on you. ”
Under Catherine's dismantling, everyone seems to see the rise and fall of an empire in a hundred years, which is the inevitable development trend of a force under normal circumstances.
"If there is peace, you will have to continue your migration according to the original plan, but you can use war as a threat to exchange the benefits of those who are desperate to drive you away, such as a part of the population, limited supplies, and so on.
They won't allow you to retain dominance of the city here, or even leave behind a military organization that is larger than a mercenary group or larger than a caravan.
But you can choose the local powers close to you and give them the rule of Avaxor in exchange for certain privileges and benefits. ”
After Gavin listened, he nodded again and again: "After listening to this analysis of the lady, I have a clearer understanding of the next path, I know what to do, what does the lady think about the necromancer's preparation to surrender?" ”
"This kind of situation involving individuals is not easy to judge." Catherine replied conservatively, "It doesn't make much sense, your previous plan is very good, whether it is a trap or not, you will know if you try it." ”
"Okay, I'll go and meet this death viper myself, and see if she shows fangs or deadly seven inches." Gavin no longer hesitated.
Although the scale of the two support teams is not large, the extraordinary strength accounts for nearly half.
There is one legend and two quasi-legends in it.
The big goblins of Blood Gorge City also selected three thousand elites, all of whom were pressed to the edge of the Giant Plain, and they only needed his order to rush out.
In terms of troops, they already have an absolute advantage, and the victory rate has completely fallen to them, so it depends on how to fight and minimize their own losses.
Rather than a crushing victory, Gavin is now pursuing the same glorious victory as the destruction of the Troll Kingdom.
I hope Grace is her own opportunity.
Grace's chosen meeting place was in the Warehouse Hills, an abandoned warehouse not far from Ivantil.
Her way of delivering information is unique, and the summoned ghost she sent sends the message to the designated personnel and dismisses them on the spot.
This means that there is no possibility of leaking the information, and Gavin and the others have no way to transmit the information back to Grace, so they can only go to the designated place at the time she specified.
Basically, there is no fault tolerance, and any link that is not right will lead to the failure of this apostasy.
This is also the reason why Gavin speculated that Grace really defected, after all, as a trap, the success rate is a bit too much for Buddhism, and after preparing for more than half a day, Gavin is likely not to receive your information at all, or rather, Gavin They just ignored it.
Gavin secretly arrived at the other party's designated place in advance, and carefully reconnoitred here, inside and out, and did not find anything abnormal, this is not even a good ambush location, there is not enough place to hide soldiers around, and there is no magic fluctuation.
The only thing that can be used is the teleportation tactic, which is to send a wave of elite soldiers to surround Gavin.
But the problem is that not prohibiting teleportation not only means that Gavin can also use teleportation tactics to send elite soldiers over on a large scale, but no matter how bad it is, one teleportation will run away, and their plan will also fail.
Or was the death viper really going to betray his teacher? Or are they going to use their troops against the conqueror in order to divert themselves and their elite troops away from the army of conquerors?
But the undead are not known for their speed of reaction, and the emptiness of their march is enough for them to return to the army with their elite soldiers.
Their poisoning tactics are also useless, the car village where the conqueror's army is located is shrouded in the temporary nine-ring mist enchantment, forbidden teleportation, forbidden stealth and forbidden flight - this is Raymond's handiwork, originally intended to be used in the dwarven statue city of the mist enchantment, first used here, in order to ensure the safety of the entire army of conquerors, no matter how careful it is, as an insurance measure, hundreds of thousands of spell casting materials, in this case is not a waste.
As the appointed time got closer and closer, Gavin removed the messy thoughts from his mind, and quickly armed himself to the teeth, and even the transcendent body was turned on, which made it easier for him to perceive magic fluctuations, which was the only direction that the other party could use to move and foot.
At the moment when the appointed time arrived, Gavin felt a wave of magic in the direction of the abandoned warehouse, which was not too violent, and it was also an unusually familiar negative energy.
A figure appeared out of thin air, and just by looking at his posture, Gavin could recognize it as the Grace of Evanthor, the messenger of Ivana, who had been in contact with him several times.
No, it's not Grace herself, it's a shadow clone of negative energy.
This is projection.
No, projection is a misleading illusion that is performed at close range, mainly for detection or misleading, if she arrives in person, can she use it more than that?
Or is this a variant of projection, capable of projection control from a distance?
Gavin didn't dare to slack off, and after making sure that there was nothing else unusual, he quickly ran towards Grace's projection, which usually doesn't last too long.
Although it was only a projection, Gavin could read a lot of information from her body movements.
When she found that there was no one around, she was disappointed and relieved, and she didn't show too much anxiety, but when she saw Gavin rushing towards her, she became nervous and hesitant.
When there were still more than ten meters away from Grace's projection, Gavin stopped, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the foot of her projection, which was an inconspicuous bluestone, and bursts of magic fluctuations came out of it.
Apparently this is the opposing projection anchor, a new type of spell that combines preset apparitions and projections.
Grace projected a complicated expression and said: "I didn't expect that Lord Lord would have the courage to come to the meeting, aren't you afraid that this is a trap?" ”
"I didn't expect that you really wanted to defect, can you ask, why?" Gavin is now almost certain that this is not a trap, but that Grace really wants to sell Evanosor and Arms.
"Arms has gone completely insane, he has set up a huge transformation circle in Ivanaor, once he is at a disadvantage in the war with you, he will activate the transformation circle, turning this place into a dead land, he is even ready to roll up the disaster of death in the major cities of the Dragon Coast, this is an out-and-out devilish act, even if he repel you, it will provoke the wrath of the whole world, I have no interest in accompanying him to hell." Grace replied quickly.
It's not so much convincing Gavin as it is firming up her heart to defect, because she was still in a state of hesitation a second before she met Gavin, after all, the risk of this matter is too great, and the benefit to herself is too small.
"So, you don't know what your teacher Ames really is." Gavin sneered, not in the slightest surprise at what Grace had said.
This practice is harmful to a normal person, even a necromancer, but it is profitable for a devil.
He was able to harvest tens of thousands of innocent souls and drag them to hell to become his own treasure.
"What is my teacher's true face?" Grace asked in surprise, "Isn't he a powerful necromancer?" What else is really true? ”
"Did you know that the leader of the petrified lizard's human slave cartel that has been trading slaves with you is a Nadarun demon disguised as a demon?" Gavin asked rhetorically without answering.
"Chuck is a Nadarun Beast in disguise? Is there any evidence? Grace's expression was even more ugly than eating stool, although she was now in a projection state, but it contained her real soul, except that her appearance was different from her real form.
"Realistic projection as proof." Gavin directly showed Grace the real projection of the killing of Nadarun on the three-masted galleon, and as for whether she believed the evidence or not, that was her business.
"You deduce from this that my teacher is an Akchaza evil beast in disguise?" Grace's projection looked even more ugly, once the speculation was true, it showed that in the past few years, she had been in the company of a devil, and played for the tiger, and her body may have been marked with the devil's mark, if so, once she died, she would not enter the normal death process, but like the devil, her soul would be dragged directly into hell.
"The original inference was only three or four percent likely, but now it has been raised to six or seven percent." Gavin didn't intimidate him, because the other party was an out-and-out smart person, and as long as he had enough information, he would make his own inferences, which was more intimidating than he said.
"Isn't it, just kill it." Grace's projection expression was full of fierceness, "Behind this abandoned warehouse behind me, there is a hidden passage to Ivantil's dungeon, which I just discovered when I recently investigated the underground, and no one except me knows about Ivantil.
I've buried Avasuor's dungeon layout in another location in advance, as long as you make sure I'm safe afterwards, I'll not only hand it over to you immediately, but also find a way to destroy the transformation circle and the Chain, and ban Ames's teleportation ability, so that you have time and a chance to kill him completely. ”
Even if it is a surrender, Grace is not a conscience discovery, it is purely for her own sake.
"If I agree to your conditions so readily, I'm afraid you won't believe that I will keep my promise." Gavin knew too well about these selfish and evil people, they didn't even believe in their own parents except themselves, let alone an outsider promised, "I can give you another choice, I can help you cut off the mark of hell, but you must die once, and you will be transformed into a real ghost state, and in the future, you will be limited by me and pledge your allegiance to me." ”
"How can I be sure you have this ability?" Grace immediately asked rhetorically.
Gavin's words completely said to her heart, there is another biggest problem in the cooperation between the two sides, that is, the problem of mutual trust, which cannot be solved, and their cooperation is only afraid that there will be no way to go smoothly.
It's not just that they can't trust Gavin, Gavin is afraid that they can't fully trust themselves as an evil person.
On the contrary, it is the method that Gavin is talking about, which is more feasible.
She just doesn't want to be dragged into hell, facing an unknown fate, and she doesn't particularly care about whether she is in a human state and subservient to others.
As long as you live, as long as you are in the material plane that you are familiar with, you have the confidence to change everything with your own ingenuity.
And serving under the famous conquerors seems to be a good choice, and there will be many opportunities to put what you have learned to use.
It seems that Grace has expected such a rhetorical question, and directly plays a new real phantom to her, which is naturally a matter of cutting off the soul of the six-armed snake demon and returning to the abyss, transforming it into the night shadow of the six-armed snake demon.
Without giving Grace a chance to ask new questions, she directly launched the summoning of the demon's true name, and in the next moment, a huge figure appeared in front of one person and one projection.
The sword of the six-armed snake demon Nightshadow was faster than her mouth as always, and the moment it appeared, the six swords had already slashed towards the Grace projection.
"Stop, it's an ally." Fortunately, Gavin was prepared, and when he summoned the six-armed snake demon, the designated location was a little far away, and he stopped it as soon as possible.
Rao was like this, the six swords of the six-armed snake demon had already been set up on the neck of Grace's projection, and if it was one second late, it would be enough to tear the projection to pieces.
"It's not a fight, what are you calling me for?" The six-armed snake demon glanced at Grace's projection with some disdain, and slid behind Gavin at a terrifying speed, she was now not in the state of the night shadow, but in the state of flesh.
Different abilities are not the same in the hands of different people.
In the hands of Estelle and Amanda, the ability to transform the virtual and the real only gives them the opportunity to become human beings again, and Daphany is just a weapon to flatter Gavin.
But in the hands of the six-armed snake demon, it turned into an extremely sharp weapon, which directly raised her strength to a new level, because this ability gave her two completely different fighting styles.
Entity state, open the transcendent body, she has an incomparably extraordinary speed, even surpassing ordinary war horses, the faster the speed, the faster the killing speed will naturally be, especially when facing miscellaneous soldiers.
In the Night Shadow state, the speed is exchanged for damage reduction and spell reduction abilities that are thicker than those of the main battle tank, and the ability to attack attacks is immediately improved to a new stage.
"Prove to her that I have the ability to cut off the mark of the devil, and as for wanting to fight, don't worry, it won't be long before you have the opportunity to harvest a large number of high-quality souls." Gavin still maintains the highest respect for the biggest trump card in his hand, because of the positive and negative, under the two attitudes, the combat effectiveness is still very different.
