"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." The rapid accumulation of all kinds of information in his heart did not delay Gavin from performing the most standard Tassel aristocratic etiquette to the future heir of the Cormir Kingdom.

Due to his multiple identities, people call Gavin very messy, and most of the people in the valley call him Sir or Lord, which naturally comes from the canonization of Lord Ilmet of the Battle Valley to him Sir of the Land of the Three Rivers.

Tesser's immigrants would call him Lord Baron or Lord Lord, a sign from the House of Nott.

Cormier, for his part, called him a general, because he was the supreme commander of the conqueror's army, especially the two princesses were very strict in this area.

"Your Excellency the General doesn't need to be polite." Princess Tynarasta replied with the most perfect Cormier aristocratic etiquette, "I came this time and brought our Cormier's apologies, we should not have turned away the general and your emigrant team, but your size is too large enough to pose a threat to our kingdom, and we have to prioritize the safety of the kingdom." ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to explain, I can understand it, and I have to do it too." Gavin wasn't polite, he really thought so.

From the beginning, they didn't expect to be able to borrow the road from the eastern Cormier road, and it was already quite good to be able to borrow the road from the rocks.

Especially as the situation has evolved, the nature of the army of conquerors has changed.

It was no longer a simple migration, but had a conquest purpose, and was closely related to the ascension of the Lady of Strategy, and now even if Cormier East Luken lent him the way, he would not leave.

In this game of the goblin border wilderness, their army of conquerors is the absolute protagonist, and if they leave, this game will not be able to stand.

"The general is indeed as reasonable as the archmage said." Princess Crown praised Gavin, "But we have a compromise here, you can form a convoy of no more than a thousand people and return to the valley in batches via the eastern route. ”

"Thank you for the kindness of Your Majesty and Your Highness, we will remember it in our hearts from top to bottom." Gavin couldn't help but be happy, which could be regarded as a solution to one of their urgent needs.

A large part of the oil bottles that the Dragon Coast Alliance has stuffed into them have been cured, but there are still some of them, such as the old and the young, that have no tricks to use.

They fought the idea of the East Road, so there was a group of Gaojiao Fort, he was still racking his brains before, thinking about how to persuade the Cormier Kingdom, but he never thought that the other party would take the initiative to propose, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"I would like to invite the general to walk alone, I don't know if it is an honor." Princess Crown offered Gavin an invitation.

Obviously, she still has a task on her, the kind that is inconvenient for other people to observe.

"It's my pleasure." Gavin naturally wouldn't refuse, but he wanted to know what the Cormier Kingdom had in mind this time.

Previously, the archmage of the court had clearly expressed his intention to not help each other, but now his attitude was deflected, which was naturally closely related to the strength displayed by the army of conquerors, allowing them to peek into the greater interests from it.

"Please." Princess Tenarasta rolled over and dismounted, holding out her right hand.

Gavin understood, and directly reached out to hold her right hand, and the rings where the two hands were held lit up with a soft magical aura wrapped the two of them, and when the magic aura dissipated, the two were no longer in place.

However, it did not teleport far, and appeared directly in the Cormier Palace or something, but at the top of the tallest building of the High Horn Castle, from which you can easily look down on the entire inner and outer sides of the High Horn Castle.

The defense of the High Horn Fort is not only external, but also internal, and in addition, there is a huge cantonment camp inside.

At this time, the barracks were full of people, and countless purple dragon knights in purple armor and battle mages in personal combat robes came in and out here, and at a glance they knew that they were not the permanent troops of Gaojiao Fort.

Gavin guessed correctly, Princess Crown didn't come alone, but led an elite army.

"General, do you know what awaits you in the Goblin Frontier?" Tenarasta was the first to ask rhetorically.

"Yes." Gavin nodded and replied, "Sambia's envoy has led the gift into the Thun swamp, and it hasn't come out yet, and a large number of lizardmen are converging towards the center of the swamp, believing that the black dragon who calls himself the queen has been moved and is ready to snipe us."

The Dark Fort of the Santarin Society is gathering a series of monster tribes such as goblins, goblins, gnolls, and trolls from the Sunset Mountains, the Gray Observer Mountains, and the Goblin Border Wastes to form a monster tribe.

By the time we make our way through the Goblin Frontier, we will face a two-sided attack. ”

Know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

This is the first of the ways of the Lady of Strategy.

Knowing that the goblins were waiting for them, how could Gavin not take action?

Their spies and spy sentries have already been scattered into the goblin borderlands, paying close attention to the every move of all the forces here, and collecting as much information as possible about them.

Gavin and the big things they have mastered clearly, but there are only some more detailed things, such as the specific combat power of the Lizard Queen and the number of troops she has and how many monster troops the Dark Castle can gather, it is unknown.

In fact, they don't have a complete bottom of their own, especially on the side of the Dark Keep, which has too much uncontrollability.

"Wrong, it's not a two-sided attack, but a three-sided encirclement, the Far Sea Swamp is controlled by a legendary ghost woman assembly, they are greedy and cunning by nature, even if no one instigates them, they will take the initiative to enter the game, not to mention the presence of a group of conspiracy god believers like the Santarin Society, they will not allow anyone to stay out of the matter." Princess Crown corrected with a serious expression.

"Ha......" Gavin couldn't help but laugh and said, "This excitement is getting bigger and bigger, the three-way melee has turned into a four-party, no, it should be said that the five-party is, no wonder the strategy lady attaches great importance to this matter, such a situation has been rare in the history of Faerun's previous wars." ”

It is clear that Gavin counted Cormier on the side.

As the number of forces joined, Gavin not only did not panic, but was even happier, those humans who have their own domination cannot be monolithic, not to mention that these monster forces must have entanglements of interests, mutual hostility, and mutual distrust, so they will have the opportunity to do more.

"You don't seem to be very worried." Princess Crown was a little surprised by Gavin's reaction, the meeting was completely different from what she had originally envisioned.

This young general was a little cold and excessive in the face of himself, except for a few people such as King Yasan and the court archmage Von Gedahast, from the gray-haired old man to the man whose hair had not yet grown up, when he saw her, he would have a desire that could not be concealed, some of which were hidden deeply, and some of which could not be concealed at all.

Tenarasta's confidence stems not only from her looks, but also from her innate identity and the rights she has.

As long as she can win her favor, she will immediately become the most powerful wave of people in the Cormier Kingdom, and when she inherits the throne, although she cannot become a king, she will at least have the title of duke and the corresponding fief, and the first son will become the future ruler of the Cormir Kingdom.

This is a shortcut to success that countless men dream of.

But here in Gavin, she did not find this kind of coveting, only admiration for her feminine appearance and a trace of inexplicable pity.

This situation makes the crown princess very passive, she is good at negotiation, and whoever opens the chip first will often fall into a passive state.

In desperation, she could only take the initiative to expose the elite legions of the Cormier Kingdom hidden in the High Horn Fort to him in a roundabout way, and by the way, remind him of the situation he was facing, as long as he took the initiative to request an alliance, the rest of the matter would be easy to say.

Who would have thought that the other party turned out to be a little fox, so he didn't take the bait at all, and directly classified the Cormier Kingdom as one of the forces.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and before that, it is useless to worry about something." Gavin smiled slyly, now that the initiative was in his hands, he would not hand it over easily, even if the other party was the crown princess of the Cormier Kingdom.

It seems that he can only take the initiative.

Tenarasta was not the kind of person who hesitated, and took the initiative to propose: "Our Cormier Kingdom is willing to form an alliance with you and become your strongest backing, even if you are defeated in the Goblin Frontier Wilderness, you can retreat to the direction of the High Horn Fort, and we will provide you with shelter." ”

"Everything has a price." Gavin secretly said in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the price of the alliance?" ”

"Prioritize defeating the Lizard Queen forces in Thun Swamp, and it's best to take the opportunity to kill that black dragon, not the kind of ordinary kill, but the kind of complete kill, just like the scourge of the East Road, so that there is no possibility of resurrection." Princess Crown's implication was that they knew Gavin had the ability to do so.

Gavin couldn't deny it, and asked expressionlessly, "And then?" ”

"Regardless of victory or defeat, after the war, the swamps of Thun will be at the disposal of the Cormir Kingdom, and if you are unfortunately defeated and collapsed, the immigrants who have withdrawn from the eastern road will also be handed over to the Cormier Kingdom for resettlement." Tenalasta offered the real price.

Duanduan is calculating, no matter whether the conqueror's army wins or loses, their Cormir kingdom is invincible, and at the same time, they can enjoy the maximum benefit.

Such a huge wave of immigrants, even Cormier is coveted, and for a country, it is a valuable asset.

Gavin didn't show shock or anger, if they didn't seek their own benefit, then it would be abnormal, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse, we will use our own strength to break the game, and the rest will be talked about after we have defeated the goblin frontier." ”

Yeshan Dara has proved with the actual situation that there is a price to pay for accepting help from others in times of crisis, especially between forces.

If you want to get the most benefits, you have to rely on your own strength, and only in this way will you have enough confidence and bargaining chips when you negotiate with others.

Seemingly a little unaccustomed to Gavin's confident appearance, Princess Crown asked impulsively, "Aren't you afraid that we will stand with those monster forces?" A stab in the back? ”

Gavin stared at Princess Crown for a few seconds, as if wondering how someone as wise as she could ask such a stupid question.

Just when Tenarasta was a little absent by Gavin, Gavin spoke: "If Your Majesty and His Royal Highness were faint monarchs, I would definitely have concerns about this, but looking at all the national policies of the Cormier Kingdom in the past few decades, I think this is the most unlikely situation, because this is not in line with the interests of the Cormier Kingdom, because the benefits of our victory are far greater than the defeat, and I am willing to be named the Baron of the Rock Land of the Cormier Kingdom for this victory." ”

As for the possibility of defeat, Gavin didn't say it, not that he had the confidence to win, but that there was a situation where everything was over, and it was useless to say it.

Again, history is written by the victors.

Whether it's for the sake of the Strategy Lady or for their own sake, this battle can only be won, not defeated.

"Baron Iwadi." Tenarasta could no longer maintain the appearance of thunder, and a trace of shock appeared on her beautiful face, and her mind quickly calculated the benefits that this matter could bring to the Cormier Kingdom.

After just a few seconds, the brain goes down.

Because it's too big, it's bigger than you can imagine.

Once the conqueror army is defeated in the goblin frontier, it means that at least one or two major forces here will be severely damaged, and their control over this place will be weakened to the extreme.

And his willingness to be enshrined in the Baron of Iwadi does not mean that these territories are directly owned by the Kingdom of Cormier, but it is equivalent to an indirect relationship.

And the Cormir kingdom has a way to make these territories its own part, the simplest and most common way is not war, but marriage, especially with the royal family - with her, the future queen of the Cormier kingdom, the child they gave birth to, is the co-owner of the land, become the king of all the territory, the two into one, naturally it is a matter of course.

No, it's not just goblin sidebars.

The energy of this young man in front of him is beyond imagination, he has carved out a territory on the side of the Giant's Plains, manipulated the situation of Ivan Tholl on the Dragon's Coast, and has his own territory in the Valley, even Tesser's is a baron.

At this moment, the crown princess completely understood the real reason why her father transferred herself.

Once the conqueror's army has achieved an unprecedented and brilliant victory in the Goblin Frontier Wilderness, it is impossible for her future husband to have a second person, for sure, it must be the young man in front of him, this is the interest of the entire Cormir Kingdom, and when the time comes, don't say that she doesn't count, even if King Yasan says it doesn't count, all the forces within the kingdom will push them to this step.

This is their birthright obligation, and the more power they have, the more their marriage will be determined by their rights and interests.

Thinking of this, Tenarasta couldn't help but look at the young man in front of her again, to have good looks, to have the ability and ability, if it is to marry him, it seems to be a good choice, anyway, this matter is destined not to be decided by himself, rather than betting on the unknown in the future, it is better to have a self-seen and touchable one.

Gavin didn't have the ability to read minds, he didn't know that the crown princess in front of him had such a rich associative ability, and he had already thought of what would happen a hundred years later, and he still analyzed the pros and cons with great interest: "After we defeat, we will inevitably need to borrow the rockland, but it would be too wasteful for us to simply walk over the rockland."

As long as the kingdom is willing to make me baron of the rocks, I will surely sweep the whole of the rocks from west to east, and officially bring it under the rule of the kingdom, and as for the other subsidiary interests, it is too early to talk about them, and wait until the results of the war are known. ”

"Since you have made up your mind, then we are waiting for your results." Tynarasta didn't dwell too much on it, and directly dragged Gavin to use the teleportation ring again, returning to the transit plaza in front of Fort Highhorn.

She was now confused by the speculation she had just made, and it was not suitable for her to make any more decisions.

Seeing the two reappearing, Yalusail asked bluntly, "You guys finished talking so quickly?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Gavin smiled and said to Princess Crown, "When Your Highness makes any decision, it is best to consider what I propose first, and if there is nothing else, I will return to the army first and prepare for battle." ”

"Why did the general just come and leave?" Jalusail was surprised, "Didn't we say that we would take you on a tour of the entire High Horn Castle?" ”

"The soldiers are fast, the longer the delay on our side, the more troops the enemy gathers, and the more thorough the preparations, as for the matter of visiting the High Horn Fort, there will be opportunities in the future." Although there wasn't much to communicate with the crown princess on this trip, Gavin felt that his thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer.

"But......" Jalusail was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Crown Princess, "there is nothing to do, Say'er, have you forgotten what I had taught?" It's all about getting down to business. ”

"Got it, Sister Wang." Jalusel's reverence for Tenarast is still above the kingdom of Assan, which she grew up with, and although she is no longer afraid of the pain, something has been ingrained in her bones since she was a child.

The crown princess continued: "I haven't seen Sai'er for months, and I want her to stay with me for a while, so the general won't be surprised." ”

"Of course not, she was originally our guest, she doesn't need to return to the team at that time, she can just report directly to the strategic battle fortress." Gavin knew the Crown Princess's thoughts, of course, that she was preparing to withdraw Yalusail and Karadena, after all, the conqueror's army would face a multi-sided scuffle next, and being in the center of the maelstrom, her status as a Cormier princess would not provide her with any additional protection.

It just so happens that Gavin doesn't want to take this risk, if she is not in the army, it is better to be able to resurrect, but once she can't be resurrected, it will be difficult.

In this world, there are many ways to prevent resurrection, far more than imagined, and more common, especially among those monster forces.
