Chapter 789: Hearing the Wind and Moving
"There is no need for the big boss to worry about this, I already have a special way to deal with it, you only need to help me collect vehicles, the more the better." Gavin didn't explain much about it.
Because it is difficult for ordinary people to believe in their professional ability in road construction without seeing it with their own eyes.
Faerun's path is generally rotten, and it is not unique to the western shore of the Falling Star Sea, and the Desperate Eastern Regions will not be much better, including the golden road that is known as flowing with gold.
How could Gavin, who was so calculating, not be prepared?
His kobold road construction team is on its way and will arrive tomorrow.
"We'll do our best." Duis patted his chest and reassured.
For the Sword Brotherhood, which has controlled Usmail City for many years, this matter is a piece of cake, not to mention spending money to hire, even if it is forcibly requisitioned, those truck owners dare not say a word.
"The matter of warehousing and loading and unloading is also bothering the big chief." Gavin smiled and said, "As for the loading and unloading fees of those stevedores......
"Of course, all of them are exempt." In order to further express our sincerity, our brotherhood will donate ten tons of sea salt and ten tons of salted fish as supplies to support the front line. ”
"Okay." Gavin gave Duis a thumbs up and said, "The Great Leader is bold enough, I can't be left behind, and when I rebuild the Great Road, I will pave the roads of your Usmail City together." ”
He didn't care whether the other party was really bold or put on a show, and by the way, he began to promote his road construction business, anyway, if he wanted to transport his food from here, he had to build roads.
"Thank you." Like everyone else who first heard that Gavin was going to pave the way for them, the Grand Leader of the Brotherhood of Swords reacted coldly.
Because in his concept, the so-called road paving is to fill the potholes, and when it rains heavily, the trucks full of goods are pressed on them, and it will not take long for them to return to their original state.
After negotiating a partnership with the Brotherhood of Swordsmans, Gavin turned his gaze to the fanged leader of the Lythermans, "Leader Patalem, this matter is also inseparable from your help. ”
"Is there anything we need to do, Commander." The fanged leader is now very respectful to Gavin, as the other party's food, once delivered to the front, will be a benefactor to the entire kingdom of Lytheman.
"I need your help to get in touch with the higher-ups of your kingdom, inform them of the situation here, and if possible, ask them to send an army to escort them.
Although we are now in the rear, in order to defeat you, the evil red-robed mages of Serge are firmly on the side of the group of invaders in Tucan, and their eyes are all over Faeron, and there is no way to hide from them.
They're likely to send spies or small groups of elite troops to sneak in and try to destroy our food. ”
Once the food is landed, Gavin can't leave it lightly, preventing all kinds of accidents, and in this magical world, there are too many ways to destroy food.
"It's a matter of course, and I'm going to do it myself." Patlem nodded with a serious expression.
"Then trouble the chief." Gavin thanked.
"This is what I should do."
With a common interest, the tripartite talks went so smoothly that everyone kept silent about the previous wharf fight, as if nothing had happened.
In each case, the whole thing becomes extremely smooth and efficient.
In just one day, the Brotherhood of Swords collected nearly 400 trucks for Gavin, and there were very few heavy trucks, mainly light trucks.
With nearly 1,000 dock stevedores taking turns to fight, in just one day and one night, all 5,000 tons of grain were loaded and unloaded into the warehouse provided by the Sword Thorn Brotherhood for storage.
The news of the arrival of a large amount of grain, like wings, instantly spread throughout the entire Desperate Eastern Regions, causing ripples in the originally stalemate of the war.
……
Cront.
This is a border city.
It is located at the intersection of the kingdoms of Giant Valley, Sesk and Lysserman.
Normally, this is a battleground for soldiers, but the three countries where he is located are not particularly aggressive.
Therefore, in the past, it played a much higher role in trade than in the military, and commerce here was very prosperous.
In the past, the Nafir barbarians of the north, the inhabitants of the Great Valley, the berserkers of the Lyssermen, and the merchants of Sesk would often gather here to mingle with each other.
Now, it had been transformed into a huge barracks, with a cluster of low Lytherman tents as far as the eye could see, and there were not only noisy human voices, but also a large number of animal roars.
Using this as a staging ground, the Lessermans regrouped their army and formed a second line of defense based on Lake Asen.
Those who have not been to the kingdom of Lytherman in person cannot imagine the complexity of the terrain here.
This kingdom is not only mountainous, but also watery.
Its entire eastern side is surrounded by the tall Sunrise Mountains, while the west and south sides are surrounded by a series of lakes Asen and Mausthir, and only to the north is the relatively flat northern highlands connected to the endless wilderness, from which the Toucan army broke into the territory of the Lesserman Kingdom.
Now the kingdom of Lesserman and the army of Toucan are facing each other on two fronts.
The first line is here, the army of the Lyseman Kingdom is stationed in Klonte, and the main force of the Toucan army is gathered in Imirma, the royal capital of the Lesseman Kingdom.
On the other line is Moshtier.
The kingdom of Lysserman only defended the north and the center, but the southern Moshtil was still firmly in their hands.
Although it is inland, it is surrounded by three lakes and one river, forming a huge peninsula.
The Tucans, who had already captured Lyssermanburg, could have driven straight into the city of Moshtier, but at the strong advice of their ally Serge, they had not yet done so.
The Kingdom of Serre and the Kingdom of Lysserman are across the lake, and the Moshantier Peninsula led by the city of Moshantyr has always been the focus of their contention, and their army has attacked the Moshantier Peninsula no less than five times, besieging the city of Moshantyr, but each time they have returned.
Repeatedly strengthened by the Lesserman Witch with various spells for hundreds of years, it has become extremely strong, and having many magical magical effects is only one aspect.
The main thing is that the kingdom of Lysserman maintains a strong inland naval army at Lake Asen and Lake Moshantil, which can transport troops quickly.
Before this naval army is solved, sending their own army to the Moshantier Peninsula to besiege the city of Moshantil is equivalent to taking the initiative to send them into a desperate situation, and the kingdom of Lytherman can easily send reinforcements from its berserker legion to various locations to launch an attack, so that they have no way to attack the city of Moshantil.
By the time the besieging army weakened, the defenders of Moshtier would be able to flank the reinforcements inside and out, and no one could resist the front and back of the two Lytherman berserker legions, including Serre's Legion of Bones who didn't know what fear was, let alone the sapient creatures.
The Tukan people do not have any water army, most of them are landlubbers who do not know water, the whole army is blocked in the east, there is no way to go west, naturally there is no way to take the Moshantil Peninsula.
Only a detachment of 50,000 men could be divided to contain them, so that the berserker army stationed in the city of Moshantil could not support the main force in the north.
Then wait for the power of nature to take effect, once the entire Lake Asen and Lake Moshantil are completely frozen, not only will the army of the Tucans be able to pass en masse, but the inland fleet of the Lesserman Kingdom will also be trapped and unable to exert its combat effectiveness.
In the heart of Kront's huge tent camp, in a luxury tent, an emergency meeting is being held.
The seat here is placed in a ring, and sitting at the bottom is a male Lysserman, who has the most typical Lytherman plateau red skin, jet-black hair and brown eyes, but his height is not as Leesserman, even if he sits on the iron throne, he is taller than most Leeselmans, I believe that after he stands up, he is absolutely as majestic as a brown bear.
He was the Lyssermans of present-day Great Heron Sedrin Ilva, also known as the Iron King.
Strictly speaking, the Iron King is just a title, and his role in the Lytheman Kingdom is more of a military commander, mainly responsible for commanding the berserker legions of the Lytherman Kingdom, keeping the roads and borders safe throughout the country, and minimizing the number of dangerous monsters.
He has neither the right to decide policy nor the right to designate the next Iron King, he is elected by the Vikraland Witches' Council, the Lesserman Witches' Council, from among the witches' recommended candidates.
The witches were tasked with protecting the Iron King, but they also had the power to remove him at will, usually in cases of serious dereliction of duty.
Sitting at the top are eight women, all dressed in a very uniform manner, all of them in sky blue long skirts with bright red composite skirts, which set off their figures very gracefully.
Unfortunately, there is no way to see their true faces, they are all wearing white maskless masks, revealing only a pair of pupils, and the top of the mask is inlaid with exquisite feathers, giving them a wordless wildness.
Even Seidrin, who is the Iron King, can only distinguish them by their height and size, as well as the color of the feathers on their masks, and does not know their true identities, they may be his wife and daughter, elders, or even his maids.
The identity of the Lesserman Witch, even to the sisters who are also witches, is highly secretive, let alone ordinary people.
When the kingdom of Lesseman was first founded, the Lesseman witches did not wear masks and did not hide their identities from their people.
Until a thousand years ago, there was a berserker Bragg nicknamed "The Strong" in the kingdom of Lysserman, who gained a large number of Lytherman Berserker followers with his powerful force, and after the death of his predecessor, the Iron King, he asked the Lesserman Witch Council to appoint him as the new Iron King.
Rejected by the Letherman Witches Council on the grounds of evil and brutal temperament, Brig led his followers to carry out a merciless massacre of the Leesserman Witches, and a large number of Leesserman Witches were killed by surprise.
After the Bleg rebellion was crushed, the Lesserman witches decided to use masks to hide their true identities from being targeted by their enemies.
This approach has proven to work.
They are not wearing ordinary masks, but totem masks, with powerful totemic powers attached to them, which can not only shield the detection of prophecy magic, but even greatly adjust the size of the user, when you try to trace their true identity according to the size they show, it is often the moment you fall into the trap.
Since then, the number of Leesserman witches being assassinated by the enemy has greatly decreased, but they can use their true identities to obtain a large amount of information that they cannot obtain as witches, so that the successive Iron Kings are conscientious and dare not slack off.
"What do you think of the news coming back from Usmail?"
"This should be true, the transport fleet from the Cormir Kingdom has as many as hundreds of large warships and transport ships, and only a small part of them are heading to Usmail City, most of them are docked in Tevram in Sesk, and there are not only a large number of military supplies transported together, but also a force of three thousand purple dragon knights, all of whom are elites with five professional levels or above."
"The Khan of the Tukan people is the murder god of the god of murder, Bal, the killing of the god of God, I believe it is no longer a secret, this Tucan invasion is no longer a simple mortal war, it involves the struggle for divine power, even the Santarin Society has sent an orc army to support, not to mention those good forces, as long as we hold on for a while, we will no longer be alone."
"The Gavin commander of Usmail City, who has a great reputation in the Hartlin region, has led 100,000 troops and horses to migrate more than 3,000 kilometers by his own strength, stirring up wars in many places, so he is appreciated by the strategist lady, and he is promoted to the elect, he must want to take the opportunity to expand the influence of this new god of war in the kingdoms of the Eastern Regions, for her, there is no better opportunity for expansion than war."
"This new god of war wants to expand its influence, and it does not conflict with our interests, after all, the final result pursued by both sides is the victory of the war."
"No matter what purpose the other party has come, the large amount of food he has brought is indeed what we need most at the moment, if it can be transported safely, it will effectively reduce the pressure on our logistics and supplies, according to the current situation, we will have to stalemate for a long time."
"Those Tucan and Serre's red-robed mages, I'm afraid they won't let this grain come up easily!"
"This is the shrewdness of the Chosen One of the Goddess of Stratagem, who avoided the golden path of Sesk, who was better to walk, and chose Hiroshi Jutani in order to avoid the harassment of the enemy, neither Serre's monster soldiers nor Tucan's rangers could harass them."
"Walking the grand road of the giant valley, there is really no need to worry about the small ground forces infiltrated by the enemy, but the strength of the Tucan Eagle Knight, you have personally experienced it, once a large-scale attack is launched, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the other party to fight."
"This is indeed a great threat, and the Toucan Eagle Knight has been haunting the Lysle Forest quite a lot lately, killing every human he encounters along the way, whether it is the inhabitants of the Great Valley or our people, who are now forced to retreat into the forest for a while."
"It's not an opportunity."
"What do you mean!"
"We can use this grain as bait to lure the Tukans into sending out a large number of Eagle Knights, and we can concentrate our superior flying forces, fight them in an ambush, and try to inflict heavy damage on them in one fell swoop, so that the next battle will be much easier."
"This is indeed a multi-kill tactic, but it must be carefully planned, not only to inflict heavy damage on the opponent's Eagle Knights, but also to ensure the safety of food."
"It's inevitable, it's not hard to do, it's easy for the Toucan Eagle Knight to find a target in the air, but it's hard to determine the information on the ground."
"Don't be careless, and don't forget, they also have the help of Serre's evil group of red-robed mages, whose eyeliner and spies are everywhere."
"This plan is indispensable for the precise cooperation of the other party, and we must send an envoy to get in touch with that Commander Gavin."
"I'm willing to go there myself."
"Sister Akabane is the best of us at bird change, and her flock of eagles has always been one of our main forces in air combat, so it is only fitting that she should be involved."
"I agree."
"I agree."
The eight Lethman Witch Councillors quickly exchanged opinions, and soon came to a consensus, not only were they extremely interested in this batch of food, but they were also ready to make a fuss about it, and they were ready to plant traps for the Tucan's flying soldiers, and they were ready to cut off their eyes.
……
Hearing the wind, it was not only the Lysserman Kingdom that moved, the Toucan people reacted immediately, and thousands of Toucan Eagle Knights, like dark clouds, rose from the Toucan army, accompanied by countless crisp and loud eagle songs, they were like a huge dark cloud, and soon floated across the Lake of Assen, and after hovering around the Lesselman army unscrupulously for a while, they entered the giant valley.
Those Lytherman berserkers were scolded one by one, but they were helpless.
In this regard, the Tucans have an absolute advantage, and they seem to have gathered all the Toucan Eagle Knights in the entire Endless Wilderness.
Although the Lesserman Kingdom also has its own Flying Spirit Berserker cavalry, in terms of numbers, there is no way to compete with the Tucans, and can only rely on the birds controlled by the Lytheman Witch and the powerful spell-casting ability of the Lesserman Witch to dare to confront them.
This is destined to be like the Tucan army, relying on the defense in the military formation, not daring to take the initiative easily, once their air forces are heavily damaged, in the next battle, many aspects will fall into passivity.
They could only let the Toucan Eagle Knight ravage the Great Valley behind them.
It's just that the current giant valley is almost an empty valley, and the inhabitants here have a close relationship with nature, and they all have an extraordinary ability to survive in the forest, and they disappeared into the depths of the dense forest with their possessions shortly after the Toucan Eagle Knights first attacked here.
This is the survival method that the residents of Jugu have always used to survive.
The city of Usmail, 500 kilometers away, is the only city exposed to the forest.
