The five hundred chariot captains all met the standard, not that their achievements in this area were excellent, but the result of mutual cooperation, those chariot captains who went to the surrounding villages and towns to recruit, many of the team members brought back, far more than nine, gave priority to those chariot squads that did not meet the standards, and some even drew from their own teams, even if they were not satisfied.

This is not only a comradeship, but also a great opportunity to gather people's hearts, after all, the captain of the chariot is only the basic structure, and there are still the positions of the captain of the clan, the head of the warband, and even the commander of the chariot corps.

And this is exactly what Gavin wants to see, after all, people have strengths and weaknesses, and they can't all be all-rounders, the legion is a whole, that is, to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and cooperate with each other.

In the hustle and bustle, five hundred building-type chariots, no less than one, all set foot on the road to the kingdom of Lytheman.

Just to get out of the city, it took them more than three hours, and on the macro road, they pulled out a long formation of ten kilometers.

Just like when I first embarked on the migration road, I also adopted the method of training and grinding while walking.

Not only do the soldiers of those tanks need to be run in with each other, but these newly built building tanks also need to be run in.

Unloaded and heavy-loaded, but two completely different situations, especially the building type combat vehicle has an amazing weight, the load on the wheel axle is very high, if necessary, not simply repair, but also need to be further reinforced.

The chariot regiment was accompanied by hundreds of ordinary druids, who formed ten maintenance teams, each of which was responsible for the maintenance of fifty vehicles, and at the same time summed up the experience and prepared for the next step of improving the building vehicles.

Thanks to the Druids, wood has an advantage over steel – it is easy to maintain.

Those wooden accessories do not need to be disassembled at all, directly through bending wood or wood plastic, you can adjust it according to your needs, and even modify the internal composition of the wood to a small extent to strengthen the hardness of the wood.

Replacing wood with durable steel fittings is still the trend, especially for those that are sold to the public.

Those ordinary people didn't have as close a relationship with nature as Gavin to mobilize so many druids and make them break with tradition.

The Hongdao, which has become a hard and flat oil cedar road, has the advantage of saving time and effort, but it is not all good for wooden wheels, especially in the case of heavy loads, the wear rate is quite amazing, and it must be repaired every ten kilometers.

Although the repair technique is only a zero-ring trick, the cost is not high, and most first-level casters can master it with a little learning, but they can't stand the trouble.

Seeing this situation, Gavin's first thought was rubber tires.

In fact, this belongs to the natural planting industry, and the key question is whether there are rubber trees in Faerun.

At least there is no shadow of such a tree, either now, nor in the future as Gavin knows it.

This does not mean that there is no such species or similar species in Faerun, because the scope of exploration of intelligent life in Faeron is still very narrow, especially in the southern rainforest, where there are even more wild beasts.

In particular, the Zulte Forest on the Chult Peninsula belongs to the world of dinosaurs, and people's understanding of it is still in various rumors.

Not to mention, Planet Torrell is not only a continent of Ferron, nor is the multiverse a world, not to mention the rest, Gavin is convenient for a larger, more primitive plane dominated by forests - the Elven Wilderness.

He still has a lot of advantages in this regard, and he sent those natural races deep into the forest to see if he could find rubber back and plant it on a large scale.

Having said that, apart from the fact that rubber is grown, what else is obtained through large-scale cultivation in modern products?

White sugar should be counted as one.

It seems that there is no large-scale cultivation of sugar cane in Ferron, and the sugar mainly depends on natural honey, and apples are a very rare source of sugar.

The other is the cultivation of fast-growing plants.

With a pure Chinese soul in his body, Gavin never imagined that papermaking and printing, among the four ancient Chinese inventions, could be important tools for advancing civilization.

But if you want to make paper, you have to use a lot of wood, which is definitely a very difficult thing to do with nature protectors and nature gods.

Especially as he gets closer to the nature god system, those druids have a non-negligible role in their own development, and similar industries are even more constrained.

Cutting down existing trees to advance papermaking is basically a matter of not even thinking about it, but you can only find a way to grow it yourself or those plants that naturally wither.

The first thing that came to Gavin's mind was bamboo.

This plant is also not found in Ferron, but it is certainly present in the Far Eastern Empire, as it can be seen on the objects transported from there, whether on porcelain or embroidery.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's inevitable.

Planet Torrell and Earth are like twin brothers, both in terms of continental distribution and terroir and culture, both have many similarities.

The continent of Faren basically corresponds to the European continent of the earth, while the continent of Karatu corresponds to Asia, and there is a striking similarity in terms of customs and culture and special products, and even some gods have their own legends on the earth.

The current Xianglong Empire corresponds to ancient China in the Han and Tang dynasties, so Gavin has always had a natural affection for this ancient empire located in the Far East, thinking that he had crossed over wrong, and as a son and daughter of China, he should have traveled over there.

If he had the chance, Gavin wanted to go there and see it for himself, and get a taste of that ancient empire, which was not a kind of nostalgia for the past.

Because as long as the strength is enough, it is not impossible to return to the earth.

Just when Gavin's mind diverged to the sky, the violent shaking of the upstair-style chariot under him pulled him back to reality, and he used his hands and feet to prevent himself from falling over with the upstair-type chariot.

After making sure that the floor chariot had regained stability, Gavin opened the firing hole of the chariot and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

As soon as the chariot corps departed, he shrank into the chariot at the head of the platoon.

In fact, the first ten and last ten chariot legions were not loaded with military supplies, but with high-level troops, including the druids of the Great Valley and the witches of the Lesselman Kingdom.

Although the Eagle Knights of the Tucan people were beaten by them in advance, they did not dare to go deep into the Great Valley to harass them, it did not mean that they had no other means, but there was a group of evil red-robed mages with many means behind them.

Gavin's chariot legion in Usmail City is not small, and the military supplies transported in a single time are also amazing, and they must beware of the other party sending top powerhouses to wreak havoc.

"Returning to the lord, there has been a massive collapse in the section of the road ahead, and the road has been cut off." Aiden, the captain of this chariot, was already waiting outside.

"The herald ordered to assemble the chariot formation, rest in place, immediately contact the cavalry team that opened the road, confirm whether they are safe, and send people to investigate the cause of the collapse of the road."

After Gavin delivered a series of commands, a fairy stepped out of the chariot he was riding, spread its dragon wings, and looked down from the air.

He didn't expect an accident to happen so soon, after all, they were now thirty kilometers away from Usmail City, and if something happened, it should be when they went deep into the Giant Valley, and they couldn't go to the village or the store.

The section of the road that collapsed on a large scale was nearly 100 meters, and half of the oil bark road was directly sunk into the ground, and as many as five building-type combat vehicles were subsided, all of which were personnel carriers walking in front.

Everywhere the eye went, there was no enemy in sight, only the cavalry that rushed back after hearing the news.

This cavalry team consisted of hundreds, all of them extraordinary rangers riding their animal companions, who served as sentinels to ensure the safety of the road.

"Stop moving forward and beware of the road collapsing again." Gavin flew after them, stopping their recklessness.

The resonance created by the running of hordes of knights is likely to collapse more caverns.

The rangers were all experienced in combat, and some of them left their animal companions off the road, while others rolled over and jumped off their animal companions, carefully groping their way forward.

"There is a cave exit here, the soil is fresh, definitely not more than ten days, the mound at the entrance of the cave is more than a meter in diameter, at least a large creature."

"There's one here, too, and there's blood stains and corpses left next to the cave entrance, and this monster is a meat eater."

"There are acid digestive enzymes here, which are the diggers, and these caves are left by the diggers, and there must be corresponding tunnels underneath."

"There are so many holes, in a parallel state, it must not be left by a digging worm."

"The concept of the field of digging insects is relatively strong, coupled with the huge size, rarely live in groups, and will not easily migrate over long distances, how can there be so many traces left by digging insects?"

"Normally, they don't really swarm, but look at the direction of these holes."

"That's the direction of the Blighted Forest, you mean, they're also victims of the Blighted Army, driven out of the Lesle Forest."

"That's the best explanation I can think of."

These rangers are good at wilderness survival, and when it comes to tracking them, they are even better than the druids.

They searched outward along the collapsed lot and quickly figured out the cause.

Underneath this stretch of road, there were unstable muddy tunnels dug by a large number of digging worms, and if it was a light object, including their cavalry team riding animal companions, walking relatively slowly through it, it would not have much effect.

But a big guy like a building-style chariot with an astonishing weight and a load of goods walked up and collapsed directly.

After listening to the report of the cavalry captain, Gavin self-examined: "Originally, I just wanted to save trouble and directly use the original infrastructure of Hongdao, but I didn't expect to leave such a big safety hazard. ”

Even paving with the power of the road is not a panacea, only small adjustments can be made to the road conditions, and then a punch-thick asphalt concrete is paved, which is enough before those mechanized heavy trucks hit the road.

The premise is that the dirt beneath these roads has been cultivated and there are no such large caves buried deep underground.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our cavalry team is also responsible, and it is my dereliction of duty that we only observe whether there is an enemy around us, but do not pay attention to the environment next to the road." The cavalry captain named Mihayu also repented himself.

"We are all in the stage of learning and exploring, mistakes are inevitable, give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, find out these digging insects for me, they are pests left in the wild, and in my hands, they will become a sharp tool for clearing wasteland, it just so happens that I am here in the giant valley, and I still lack the tools to dig ditches." Now that he had met him, Gavin was not ready to let it go.

On the other side of the valley, he gathered this particular creature in a big way.

It's just that the thing is so strange, when you don't have a need, you feel that you can encounter such annoying guys everywhere, and when you have the heart to collect them, it's hard to see them.

I haven't caught a few on the valley side, but I've encountered a horde on the giant valley side.

This is also the aftermath of the Blight War, which was driven out of the vicinity of the Blighted Forest by the Blighted Ones, along with the wild beasts, but their movements are underground, and the Blighters can pose less threat to them.

They instinctively seek the good and avoid the bad, away from the withered and corrupted land.

"It's as simple as following the vents and hunting holes they leave on the ground, and these creatures are insecure on the ground, and even if they are in a hurry, they are digging burrows, eating, hunting, and traveling.

So, they're moving very slowly, and if nothing else, we'll find their large force ten kilometers north, presumably trying to migrate to the Rosslyn Forest, where the rotten dirt is their favorite and where they can get enough flora and fauna. ”

The captain of the cavalry, Mihayu, was also a good ranger, and knew the habits of this agricultural and forestry pest, "If the lord is interested in this pest, the destination of our trip is Aisanas, which has soft soil and is nourished by Lake Asen all year round, and has become a paradise for those burrowing animals, not only with an incredible number of digging insects, but also with a dozen shark dwelling beasts.

It is also known as the Cheese Plains because there are as many caves in the dirt as there are hollows in the cheese, and one wrong foot can make a hole. ”

"That's a good feeling, I have to see and see it when the time comes, but the most important thing now is to find out this group of digging insects, not only to prevent them from harming the forest, but also to prevent them from killing horses and guns and coming back to destroy the road." Gavin was no stranger to the name Essannath.

Because it is located on the front lines of the war, it is the collective name of the plain that is surrounded by the Lysle Forest, Sesk, and Lake Assen in the Great Valley.

Nominally belonging to Seysk, it is in fact part of a three-way strip that has not yet been developed and settled on a large scale, just like the town of Cronte.

"Commander, look at it." The captain of the cavalry, Mihayu, patted his chest and reassured, then made a whistle and went with a team of rangers to track down the diggers.

With the help of accompanying druids and witches, it didn't take much effort to pull the fallen chariot out.

Gavin looked at the sky, and simply let the chariot legion camp on the spot, and let those chariot captains take the opportunity to fill in the gaps and summarize today's gains and losses.

Even if the chariot corps goes fast, it doesn't make much sense, the road construction speed of the kobold road construction team is limited, and it will take at least ten days to repair the remaining roads.

That is, the average chariot regiment travels sixty kilometers a day.

Today is the first day, there is no need to be too anxious, I believe that after the run-in, it is very easy to travel 100 kilometers a day.

"Your Excellency the Great Druid, please concentrate the druids who can perform seismic magic, I will need to use them next." Gavin begins to prepare for the capture of the Burger.

This large monster is not difficult to deal with, and if it is tough head-on, a group of fledgling adventuring parties can overturn it.

The hard thing is that they don't do that at all, and when they encounter an incomprehensible danger, they burrow deeper into their burrows.

If you rush to drill with them, the results will be absolutely disastrous.

Don't look at the caves they excavate are not small, enough for an adult male to drill in and out of them, but in fact they are extremely unstable, and they are so inflexible that if they are not careful, they will get stuck in it or even be buried alive.

If those digging worms kill back the carbine, the hunter will immediately become prey.

"It's easy." Hanso Grand Druid directly summoned the eight druids who had a career rank of over sixteen.

Seismology is a regular skill for their druids, and when they reach level sixteen, they can learn it directly through the magic web.

"Please use seismic techniques in these places that have been excavated by the digging worms, and it is best to be able to collapse and cultivate all the caves." Gavin pointed to the section of the chamber road that had been traversed by the diggers.

"I'm coming!" Hanso's Grand Druid now has everything Gavin wants.

To be honest, he was also a little stunned by Gavin's recent series of shocking combinations.

When he originally thought that he knew the other party well enough, the other party gave him a shocking punch when he returned his hand, which made him feel numb all over.

He originally thought that the other party's plan to develop Jugu would have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, and it would take several years or even more than ten years to continue to advance.

But now it seems that the other party will not wait so long at all, but use every bit of time against time.

All kinds of manpower and material resources, including spell-casting ability, were used by him to the extreme.

Hanso was now determined to see how much the young commander could make a move in the valley.

The Great Druid didn't know that there was not only one person who had the same mentality as him, and even the gods on high thought so.

There is a small difference between the same spellcaster, the mage, the priest and the druid.

Mages focus on a controlling magic, priests use divine power to guide through faith, and druids emphasize a sense of nature, resonate with it, and then react by influencing nature through its own will.

This is especially true of seismic, which involves nature.

I saw that after Hanso's Great Druid was contemplating for a while, the earth elements gathered around him rushed out, and the ground under his feet began to shake violently, and the stones on the ground kept beating.

This tremor reached its extreme after one round, accompanied by a loud shout from Hanso's Grand Druid, and more than a dozen places broke at the same time, revealing a series of tunnels of different depths, the deepest being more than a meter, and the shallowest being thirty centimeters.

Han Suo did the same, and it took three seismic techniques in a row to deal with all the problematic sections.
