Desperate Eastern Regions.

This is the collective name of the countries on the east coast of the Falling Star Sea for the people of the Hartland region who live in the west of the Falling Star Sea.

Mysterious and exotic, the Far East is a capricious land of dangerous magic and unknown riches for the people here.

The Desperate Ground is the difficult journey from Hartland to here, and although the two are connected by land, it is an impossible task for ordinary people, with countless mountains to the north and countless ancient empires ruled by powerful exotic gods to the south.

The most convenient thing is to take a boat across the entire Falling Star Sea, but there are many pirates on the water, and there are ancient aquatic creature empires and countless terrifying monsters lurking under the water.

Unless you are lucky enough to be able to ride a huge fleet like the Cormier Kingdom's grain transport team, even if you know that it is full of expensive military supplies, those pirates will not dare to provoke easily, not to mention the slightest accident of shipwreckage, even if you are lucky enough to grab a cargo ship, you will have to face the crazy revenge of the Cormier Kingdom afterwards, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Even if there is bad weather, as long as it is not a devastating disaster, such as a hurricane, tsunami, etc., those extraordinary battle mages who accompany the ship can work together to minimize the damage, not limited to the use of weather manipulation to suppress the power of natural disasters.

Prophecy and long-range peeping spells can be seen before disasters arrive, leading the fleet to avoid them in advance.

Spells such as manipulating the wind element can help the fleet speed up and also shake off some of the dangers.

Therefore, the number of ships in the fleet departing from the Cormier Kingdom when they left the port and how many ships still arrived did not lose the slightest additional loss.

It is not for nothing that Gavin and his wife are still willing to cooperate when they do not contribute a penny of capital to the Cormir Kingdom, but they account for half of the benefits.

Only on the place of grain unloading did the two sides disagree.

The Cormir Kingdom wants to unload grain on a large scale in Tavram in Seysk, after all, the Feren coalition army that is gathering in the Cormir Kingdom is here at the invitation of the Seysk Kingdom, and this will be the main direction for them to intercept the Tucan nomadic army.

The sale of military supplies they transported was only one aspect, and the most important thing was to prepare for the coalition forces that arrived later.

Gavin insisted on unloading most of the military supplies in Usmail in the Mighty Valley, because he knew how fierce the Tucan nomads were, especially in the early stages, and the slightest surprise could affect the development of the whole situation.

Due to its own reasons, the Cormier Kingdom has prepared particularly sufficient military supplies this time, not to mention all kinds of equipment for the time being, just the food, the first batch of more than 10,000 tons arrived, enough for a 100,000 army for three months.

If you talk about the price alone, this more than 10,000 tons of grain is indeed not too expensive, they are purchased according to one silver coin per kilogram, even at the forefront of the market, the market price has risen tenfold, reaching a terrifying one gold coin per kilogram, which is only more than 10 million gold coins.

But this is a necessity for the army, and if it fails, it will be difficult for the Pheren coalition to gain a foothold in Sesk, and once it is defeated, the consequences will be catastrophic.

They are far away from their homeland, and they are also blocked by the Falling Star Sea, and it is not easy for them to withdraw on a large scale.

Gavin did not teleport directly to Cormier's fleet to reason with the fleet commander.

Although he procured the supplies in conjunction with the merchants, he was not in command of the Cormier fleet.

He went directly to the kingdom of Cormir and negotiated with King Yasan, as long as he was convinced, all that was left was a royal decree.

There is nothing in Feren, and there will be no military orders outside.

It is really a common thing for those kings to be in the palace one second and in the commander's tent the next.

After patiently listening to Gavin's statement, King Ahsan asked meaningfully, "How can you be sure that this is not what we want?" ”

"On purpose?" Gavin asked in surprise, and his brain began to spin rapidly, savoring the other party's true intentions.

Knowing that there is a danger of being attacked, it still does this, which means that the Cormier Kingdom intends to use this batch of grain as bait to attract the attention of the Tucan nomadic army, even if not to attract their main force, but also to attract part of their troops.

What was the rationale for King Ahsan to do this?

In order to stimulate the Tucan nomadic army and make them make up their minds to cross the river when it is not particularly advantageous for them in all respects?

Or is it to lure them into dividing their troops, and then go deep alone to facilitate each one's breakdown?

However, the coalition forces of Feren have just finished assembling and have not yet left the Cormir Kingdom and embarked on a journey to Sesk.

Although if necessary, you can use a large number of teleportation spells at any time to teleport some elites first, but in terms of the national strength of the Cormier Kingdom, it can support a few thousand people at most, and tens of thousands of people should not think about it.

Against the Tucan nomadic army, which numbered in the tens of thousands of people in the previous vanguard army, the disadvantage in strength was too great.

Tactics are not omnipotent, any effective tactics are based on their own strength, otherwise the slightest carelessness will be eaten by the enemy.

Gavin asked rhetorically with a heavy expression, "The situation on the front line has collapsed to this extent?" His Majesty had to make such a risky move? ”

"The voters who are worthy of being the Lady of Strategy have extraordinary insight in the area of war, and I can think of the collapse of the overall situation with just one word from me."

King Ahsan looked at Gavin with an unconcealed admiration, "The war situation in the Desperate Eastern Region is even worse than the rumors outside.

Serre's group of evil red-robed mages sold the entire Desperate Eastern Regions for their own benefit, not only providing a large amount of food and slaves for the Tucans, but even volunteering to provide a large number of magic scrolls and wands.

This greatly weakened the original magical advantage of the Lesser Soul Kingdom, and now the whole situation is extremely unfavorable to the Lythman Kingdom, once the weather temperature drops one day, the Lesser Soul Kingdom is now relying on the natural defense line of the Waseman Lake A large area of ice, will also be the moment when the Tucan people should join forces and cross the river in an all-round way.

Once the Tucan army fully breaks through the defense line of Lake Asen, neither Sesk nor Giant Valley can be defended, and a decisive battle with countless cavalry will be fought in the open field, even if we gather the elite of all Faeron, the chance of victory is very small.

Before the arrival of the coalition forces, we must do our best to ensure that the main force of the Lytheman Kingdom is not defeated, even if the defense line of Lake Asen is broken, with the Berserker Legion of the Lesseman Kingdom on the side, it can also play an effective role in holding back the Tucans, and we must not dare to surprise the whole army, we must leave a part of the troops to defend the Lesserman Kingdom and ensure our own retreat. ”

With Gavin, King Ahsan did not hide, but directly analyzed the overall war situation in the desperate Eastern Regions.

For this young man, even this old dragon did not dare to take lightly, especially the dazzling war performance of the conqueror army led by him along the way.

That series of subtle tactical uses is not something that a strategist voter can explain, but he has a unique ability to do so.

The elect of the gods has never been a blessing in disguise to make up for the shortcomings of those who are stupid.

On the contrary, they will only add to the icing on the cake and crown those who live up to the name.

The elect of Bane, the god of tyranny, could never be a peace-loving man.

And the elect of Mystra, the goddess of magic, could not be a berserker who only knew how to wield weapons.

"Your Majesty's analysis is very reasonable, the berserkers led by the witches of the Lytherman Kingdom are indeed an important force against the Tucans, and they must be protected by all means."

Gavin's analysis of King Yasan's war situation is highly agreeable.

Familiar with the direction of history, he knew very well how much the role of the Lesserman Kingdom in the fight against the invasion of the Tucans was.

Not only did they take advantage of their geographical advantage to hold back the Tucans for two months, gaining valuable time for the Faeron coalition forces to assemble, but they also severely damaged the Tucans who tried to force their way across Asen Lake in the Battle of Fallen Tears, annihilating nearly a quarter of their troops, laying the most solid foundation for the victory of the Faren coalition forces later.

It is precisely because he knows the final outcome of the war that Gavin has always been unhurried in dealing with the invasion of the Tucans, and there is always a feeling of victory.

But when the real thing came, especially a few days ago, after personally teleporting to the Desperate Eastern Regions to learn about a wave of war situation, I found that I was a little taken for granted.

There is no simple war, especially this kind of unprecedented battle involving hundreds of thousands of horses, and it is even more involved in the whole body.

A little additional factor could lead to a deflection in the final course of this war.

And he himself is that biggest extra.

He can change the bad fate and the good can also change the good.

According to this reasoning, the easiest way to avoid changing history is not to get involved in it and let it develop on its own.

But this is an impossible thing, not to mention how much manpower and material resources I have invested in this, what a good opportunity to further expand my influence.

Who can be sure that everything will develop according to the history they know?

Once there is a collapse, if you want to save the day, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

What I have to do this time is to adapt to the times, ensure that everything develops in the direction of my memory, and seek greater benefits for myself by the way.

It's just that there is one more embarrassing thing, Gavin at this point in his previous life was still a slave in the Santarin, fighting for his own survival, and he was not even qualified to participate in this war as cannon fodder.

Except for a few major historical events that I heard about later, the specific understanding is very limited, and it is not clear whether the decisive battle between the Faren coalition army and the Tucan army was not known, nor is it clear that the detailed battle situation in the middle is not clear, and it is not clear whether this kind of luring tactics was adopted in the early stage of the Asan Kingdom to distract the attention of the Tucan people.

If he convinces King Ahsan now to change his mind, will it be the first step to change history?

However, he and those businessmen went to get so many military supplies for their own strategic purposes, in order to seek more benefits, not to use them as bait.

After quickly weighing it in his heart, Gavin gave a compromise suggestion, "Actually, my plan to transport military supplies to Jugu Usmail coincides with Your Majesty's.

It's just that His Majesty wants to use these grains as bait to find a suitable fighter plane to relieve the pressure on the Lysserman Kingdom.

And I want to use this food to rescue the refugees in the Lysserman Kingdom, to help them stabilize the rear, so that the warriors in front can fight better.

It is better for us to take a two-pronged approach, unloading 5,000 tons of grain each in Usmail and Tevram, I believe that for those Tucans, there is not much difference between 5,000 tons and 10,000 tons, but because of our two-line layout, we will further disperse their energy. ”

Although the kingdom of Lysserman is small in size and has a population of only one million, its people are notoriously fierce, as can be seen from the fact that they can single-handedly block the expansion of Searle's red-robed mages to the north.

It's just that the people of this country are relatively isolated and xenophobic, and there are not many countries that have diplomatic ties with them, and it is rare to see their people leave their land to travel and wander in other parts of Faerun.

This great invasion of the Tucan nomads is rare, and Gavin will certainly not let go of the opportunity to establish friendly relations with them, and he wants to open the way with food.

"You've got a good idea." King Ahsan nodded involuntarily and said, "We have always known relatively little about the Lythman Kingdom, even in the case of life and death, they are resisting on their own, and they have no intention of asking for help from the outside world at all.

If it weren't for the merchants of Sesk, our intervention in this war would have been delayed.

We really need to establish a good relationship with the coalition forces before they arrive, so that we can facilitate the subsequent coordinated operations.

But this is not an easy thing to do, Giant Valley is one of the few druids, although the inhabitants are mainly human, but in temperament, they are biased towards those elves, very xenophobic, and many villages are hidden in the forest.

In order to escape the harassment of the flying cavalry of Tucan, most of the Lessermans who retreated to this area hid in the dense forest, and it was very difficult to establish contact, and at the same time, they had to face a large number of harassment threats from the Toucan Eagle Knights. ”

"I know." Gavin said confidently, "So, I'm going to go to Jugu myself, and I think I've accumulated some experience and advantages in dealing with these natural people.

If possible, I will unite not only the Lythmans there, but also the forces of nature as much as possible, so that they are on our side, relying on the forest, and they have an advantage that we do not have. ”

"Since the general himself is out of the horse, there will definitely be no problem." King Ahsan laughed and said, "Okay, according to the general's words, the direction of Jugu will be handed over to the general, and the direction of Sesk will be handed over to us, I have sent three thousand elites to the past, and formed a vanguard army there, the commander is Yalusel, if you need it, you can contact her, she will try her best to cooperate with you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gavin thanked the old fox and cursed the old fox in his heart.

Until this moment, he suddenly understood that he had fallen into King Ahsan's trap.

The other side has clearly formulated a two-pronged strategy and tactics, but in the direction of Jugu, there is a lack of suitable executors.

Whether it is the large number of natural races he carries in the army of conquerors, or in the King's Forest, helping the Cormir Kingdom establish good diplomacy with the Dryad Kingdom Aroshi, he has shown his extraordinary influence in the forces of nature, and is definitely the best choice to deal with such natural forces.

But in the strict sense of the word, he is not a person who does not belong to the kingdom of Cormier, and King Yasan does not have the right to dispatch himself.

Therefore, he used the grain unloading point as bait to catch himself to Susar and took the initiative to take on this task.

Since each took what he needed, Gavin pretended to be confused and did not entangle too much with King Asan.

The two sides then exchanged more information and opinions on the battle situation in the Desperate Eastern Regions, and finalized the details of the subsequent cooperation, Gavin bid farewell to King Ahsan and went directly to the Great Valley.

This is the advantage of power, you don't need to run the map yourself, you just need someone from the destination to help you pinpoint the location, even if you have never been to the destination, you can teleport.

Giant Valley.

Don't be misled by the name, it's not sandwiched between two huge mountain ranges, but a narrow strip of land between two ancient forests – the Rollins Forest and the Lysle Forest.

Not a few, this is the only druid government in the whole of Ferron.

It is the druids who dominate here.

The biggest feeling that this kind of government gave Gavin was that it was primitive.

He originally thought that the political system of the valley was rotten enough and that he could rule by doing nothing, and compared to the giant valley, it would be a small thing.

Even the trade road that runs through the whole of Jugu is nothing more than a dirt road, let alone those country roads.

Usmail is the only place in the whole of the Great Valley that can be called a town.

However, it was not founded by the people of Jugu themselves, but was made up of immigrants from Imbutu, Damara and Seysk, which was used by the merchants as a springboard into Jugu and the only port to enter and exit Jugu from the sea.

Now there are a large number of new inhabitants here, who are dark and short, but stocky and stout, and have a rebellious temperament that does not change even the hardship of being uprooted from their homes.

These people are none other than war refugees from the kingdom of Lesserman.

Faced with the tucans and the Searles, the rulers of the kingdom of Lyseman had to make the decision to abandon most of the kingdom and evacuate hundreds of thousands of Lysermans to the Great Valley.

The success of this strategy and tactics has a lot to do with the life and customs of the Lesserman Kingdom itself.

The latitude of the Lesserman Kingdom is farther north than the valleys, where the summers are very short, the winters are very long, and the land is dominated by rugged highlands and mountains.

To outsiders, the kingdom of Lesserman was a very primitive, uncivilized area, with roads not much better than muddy ground, and almost no houses, and they lived either in cramped tents, caves in the hills, or crypts covered with mounds.

They had only a few large cities, and most of the inhabitants lived a half-farming, half-nomadic life as a tribal unit, and many of the Lyssermen themselves had the habit of driving their cattle across Lake Asen to spend the winter in the Great Valley when winter came.

Compared to the snow-covered mountains, the giant valley is full of trees and fallen leaves, and it is easier to find food for its herd.

This time, on a larger scale than any before, was rushed, and many of the Lesserman families were forced to throw away their livestock, which they relied on for the winter.

When they could no longer survive the coming winter with their old way of life, many Lyssermans had to continue eastward to cities like Usmail to see if they could find a job to survive the harsh winter.

Thanks to the leader of the alliance who smoked his brother for a hundred years, I didn't expect my brother to be a person who made promises, and more than a month has passed, I thought I had forgotten about it!

It was supposed to explode, but it's a pity that the state has not been good recently, not just because the body needs to be conditioned, but mainly because the writing state has been slow to enter, barely maintaining 5,000 words!

This has nothing to do with perseverance!

I can only explode a chapter to make sense, and find a way to compensate for it later! Please forgive me!
