Chapter 866: The Red-robed Mage is coming
In his previous life, Gavin, who had been a mercenary for a long time, knew their temperament very well.
Their free-spirited and casual style is bound to be incompatible with the disciplined military norms.
Once they land in Tavram, most of them will act as mercenaries or warbands, breaking away from the large army and acting alone.
But their role should not be underestimated.
Most of them are professionals, and their professional level is not low, many of them are good at special operations such as infiltration and assassination, and they are usually very patient.
If they are targeted, they must worry about the hidden arrows that will be fired anytime and anywhere, and those Tucan soldiers will be in danger of their lives as long as they are left alone.
As long as the troops are divided, there is a possibility that the entire team of 100 or 1,000 people will be wiped out.
The entire Tucan army will be tied up, and the spirit will be in a state of tension, and there will definitely be problems after a long time.
"This is a very good way for the Commander, to make the most of the value of these equipment, and to be able to use it as capital in exchange for more equipment.
When the war is over and the equipment is devalued on a large scale in the Eastern Regions, they can be sold to other areas where they are most needed to maximize their value. ”
"In this matter, we can ask the Verimoni to cooperate, select some excellent weapons, and give them to enchant, which can not only ensure the maximum benefits, but also improve the combat effectiveness of those mercenaries."
"I think this method works."
"I agree with that."
The Haslan witches not only agreed with Gavin's suggestion, but even went a step further and made a better suggestion.
Verimoni is the name given to the male spellcasters of the kingdom of Lytheman, and outsiders are used to calling them elders, and they usually have extremely long lifespans, which are often associated with their totemic spirits.
The magic of the Lesserman witches is not passed on to women or men, as long as they are magically talented, they all treat them equally and impart magical knowledge.
However, there is a problem with their magical knowledge system, and these Lythman witches can only specialize in the more violent side of the element, which means that they are the best at fighting, and the success rate of crafting magical items is greatly reduced.
The male caster elders, on the other hand, can only specialize in the gentle side of the elements, and they have an advantage that the Lesserman Witch cannot match when it comes to crafting magic items and researching new spells, but when it comes to fighting, they are completely different from the Lesselman Witch.
Even though many of the new spells were developed by them, they were very different from the power in the hands of the Witch of Lesserman.
The gentle temperament of the elemental even influenced the elders, who willingly stayed behind the scenes, providing magical research and technical support to the Lyselman witches.
Over time, the world only knew about the Witch of Lesserman, but not the Elder Verymoni.
But their role in the Kingdom of Lesserman cannot be ignored.
Without them, the combat effectiveness of both the Lyselman Witch and the Berserker would be greatly reduced.
Because of his longevity, the number of Virymoni elders is far greater than the world thinks.
In fact, the ability of the Lesserman Kingdom to manufacture magical items is not inferior to that of the Sell Kingdom, and even has its own uniqueness.
It's just that limited by the concept, they still maintain a self-sufficient concept of magical items, and they are not like the Kingdom of Ser, which sells them on a large scale and rushes in the direction of the largest arms dealer in the Faren Continent.
Gavin said with a surprise on his face that couldn't be concealed: "If the elders are willing to make a move, it would be great, we can have more room to operate, and we can not only release various war missions in this way, but even various collection missions."
Collect all kinds of spell casting materials for the elders.
If you are willing to cooperate for a long time, we can also learn from the red-robed mage and open magical concessions and trade magical items in other countries, cities and regions.
Making money is secondary, mainly to break the monopoly of the red-robed mages, reduce their influence through the magic concession, and curb their development speed. ”
The former belongs to Gavin's flash of inspiration, the war version of the Mercenary Hall.
The latter is part of his plan in the Desperate East, where he wants to obtain a stable and large source of magical items.
It is a long-term plan to build your own magic academy and train magic apprentices.
The short-term plan is to work with forces that have a large number of spellcasters and the ability to craft magical items.
There aren't many such options, and the Kingdom of Lesserman is one of them.
According to Gavin's original plan, he needed to bring it up after accumulating enough friendship with the Lythman Kingdom at the end of this war.
It's just that he didn't expect that he had accumulated enough in the early stage of his life, and he was so deeply involved in the battle of Asen Lake that his prestige reached an unprecedented height in the Lysserman Kingdom in a short period of time.
Seeing that the topic was appropriate, he brought it up.
"This plan is good, in recent decades, that group of evil mages through their own magic items, their tentacles, stretched out their tentacles, to the whole continent, they are not as neutral as they promised, they have not used the magic concession as a springboard, interfere in the politics of various places, support those forces that are inclined to them to come to power, and provide various benefits for their business there.
People in many places have been deceived by their disguises, and they have taken the initiative to give their children to them to accept their enslavement and oppression. ”
"The vast wealth they have looted from other regions has further strengthened their strength, which is why they have become more aggressive in recent years, and they need to expand their territory to accommodate a larger population to support more of the magical industry.
It is believed that as their magical concession business continues to grow, the more wealth they regain back, the more aggressive they will become. ”
"The reason why their magical concession opened so quickly is because they lack strong competitors and are in a monopoly position in this area.
In the past, we lacked the opportunity to compete with them in this area, but now that we have the opportunity, we cannot give up, and we must compress their profit space in this area. ”
"I agree to give it a try."
"I agree."
Using the Kingdom of Serre as a rocker is always the only way to convince these Haslan witches.
They may not be interested in making money, but they are very interested in sniping the red-robed mage.
For Gavin, for whatever reason, they agreed, as long as they were willing to leave it to themselves.
At that time, the dominance is in his own hands, and he doesn't necessarily have to open the magic concession next to the red-robed mage, he can completely integrate it into the huge business network he is laying out.
"The buying and selling of weapons and equipment can be gradual, but there is no way to wait for those livestock and soldiers' carcasses." The Water Spirit Witch said with a sad face, "It's better to say that it's cold now, once spring begins, the ice and snow thaw and the temperature rises, such a huge group of corpses will breed plagues in the lake and pollute the entire waters."
Now that they have begun to spawn all kinds of undead on their own, if those red-robed mages interfere with it again, it is very likely that the situation will get out of control. ”
In the multiverse, death is not the end, but the beginning of another life form.
In particular, this kind of unnatural and large-scale death is the most likely to trigger undead events.
Not to mention the previous war, all kinds of divine powers intervened, and the elements were extremely chaotic, and there was a dream intervention closely related to the shadow on the side of Moshtyr City, and many souls and corpses were impregnated with a large amount of negative energy.
It's not strange if you don't have a moth!
"I'll leave this to me." Gavin said in a big way, "I will send someone to use the power of the shadow to drag away the corpses of those humanoids with the power of the shadow, but I just need the cooperation of Lord Shui Ling to fish them out of the water." ”
In this regard, the immortal divine power is definitely professional.
As for the dragging mission, Gavin didn't need to do it himself, those Shadow Wings and Shadow Sacrifices infused with immortal divine power could do it, especially the latter.
Their nature is the same as that of Shadow Wing, both of them have been shadowed by ghosts, the only difference is that they are the same as Daphne, they are both sacrifices of the immortal goddess of vengeance, and they are influenced by Gavin and thrown into his arms to fight together against the immortal goddess of vengeance, Ziaran Sali.
Born in the Evil God Sacrifice, their control in terms of immortal power is far beyond that of Shadow Wing.
It's just that the number is relatively small, only a few dozen, and now they serve as Daphany's direct guards.
These corpses are also a treasure in a sense, especially those who were powerful in life, and those necromancers are willing to pay for them.
It's just that this is a black transaction, which is not visible, and few people will put it on the surface.
These corpses Gavin are only going to be dragged back to Misnoel to be sealed, waiting for backup, not ready to be sold, and he is not going to sell them to the outside world.
This kind of black trade is not good to say, and it is known to be very discredited, even if it is the corpses of foreigners and monsters.
"If the Commander is willing to do so, that's great, I'll send someone to get them to the ice as soon as possible." The water spirit witch was overjoyed, what she wanted was the other party's words.
It's no secret that Gavin wields immortal powers, and he's summoned armies of shadows in front of them three times and twice, using war marauders to steal souls.
In their eyes, this is a mundane operation and not worth making a fuss about.
In this world, there is no top-level spellcaster that does not involve the soul, there is nothing more than a difference between deep and shallow.
Gavin also suggested: "As for those carcasses of livestock, I suggest that some of them be used as military rations, and the surplus part should be used to build several large ice vaults around Lake Asen, so that they can be frozen for a long time, as a reserve food, the shortage of food in the Eastern Regions, within a few years, will be the norm, and we must make a long-term plan." ”
The number of dead animals in Lake Assen is not a small number, there are war horses, cattle herders, and sheep, the latter being the majority, numbering more than a million, and they are the main military food of the Tukan people.
Without them, it won't be long before the Tucan army will be in a food crisis.
"A large freezer is a good idea." The Water Spirit Witch was inspired, "I don't even need to be so troublesome, I went directly to the Asen Lake, looked for a suitable place, built an underwater ice vault, and used magic constancy to stabilize the snow and rain storms, and freeze the surrounding waters on a large scale along with those livestock carcasses, when I need it, when I can dig it down." ”
Gavin agreed, "The ice storage I'm going to build is based on this principle. ”
"In this way, most of the booty has its own way of disposal, and the remaining live cattle and war horses are used as military supplies, and I propose to adopt a large-scale grazing method in the giant valley and raise them collectively, while the cattle and sheep are distributed in the form of war pensions, so that our people can help themselves and reduce the overall pressure."
"In addition to the war pension, you can also work for relief, I believe that the reconstruction of Imirma and Mulputan requires a large number of laborers, and the collective grazing of war horses also requires a large number of herdsmen."
"It's really smarter than just disaster relief, and that's how it works."
The Haslan witches quickly talked about the rebuilding of the kingdom of Lysserman, from the disposal of the spoils of war.
They seem to be a little understated about the various infrastructures, far less important than the totem dream, so that Gavin will not be able to interject for a while, and decides to wait.
Wait until the totem dream is fully rolled out, and see if there is any chance to intervene.
The Lesserman Kingdom's spiritually heavy and materialistic way of life was not cultivated in a day or two.
Starting from the material point of view, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
However, if you start with the totem dream, it is possible to get twice the result with half the effort, especially the idea of the Aether Train and the Aether Tunnel, the Lesserman Kingdom has a natural mass base, and it is an excellent test ground for Gavin.
The Battle of Lake Asen had a profound impact on the Lythmans, not only did they lose more than half of their forces, but they also inflicted heavy losses on their old enemies.
Dussan, the leader of the Dark Witches, was exiled to the Fear Half-Plane, and the two strongest second-generation Dark Witches were imprisoned, and the leadership of the Dark Witches was dealt a fatal blow, leaving only a few second-generation Dark Witches and a group of unstable third- and fourth-generation generations, who could not be compared with the previous two generations in terms of loyalty and strength.
Until they hear from the Witches of Doussan, they will surely relapse into the shadows, not daring to show their heads.
After settling their big account with the Harans Witches, Gavin privately calculated his own small account, and he gained equally greatly in this battle.
His plans in the Desperate Eastern Regions are mostly complete.
Jugu is already in his pocket, and as long as the personnel are in place, the new agricultural plan can be launched.
His prestige in the Lesserman Kingdom has at least reached the stage of respect, he is not so simple as being able to speak in the Haslan Witch Council, but can influence their decision-making to a certain extent, as long as it is not too private meetings, he can attend the meeting as an ally, and he will skillfully turn some plans into the plans of the Witches Council, which is naturally unimpeded.
It was a blessing to be able to rescue Philanciene, and to finally have a heavy spellcaster by her side was a great treasure that could be dug up from her.
For example, the legendary spell Lefber's Constructed Lock, which was previously cast in the nightmare dream, is definitely far more powerful than the Nine Rings Mist Enchantment as a city defense lock.
Needless to say, there are still a lot of places that Gavin needs to use.
Another example is whether her Netharel magic book, the Iolem Scroll, contains other powerful Netharel arcane.
These things need to be taken step by step, using various methods to lure and impress her, so that she can take the initiative to take it out by herself.
And then there's the soul gain.
Although he had previously traveled to the Nightmare Realm of the Dussan Witch to rescue the Earth Spirit Witch, the War Marauders remained in the gap in the Great Wall of Ice, continuing to carry out the previous tactic of encircling the three missing one, luring the Tucans to attack on their own initiative.
This deadly trap reaped a lot for him, except that the number of Shadows in the Shadows had skyrocketed to twelve, and the ordinary souls had earned more than 50,000, which was enough to make up for the immortal divinity he had invested in the war marauders.
This is also the confidence of him to dare to take on the task of cleaning up the corpses of Asen Lake.
It's just that he still underestimated the resentment gathered in this large-scale war, and also underestimated the degree to which the red-robed mages in the Searle Kingdom grasped the timing.
On the night of the second day after the Battle of the Tucans crossed the lake, the Sayre Kingdom had just completed the initial cleaning of the battlefield, and the Kingdom of Sayre declared war on the Kingdom of Lysserman.
The Ace Bone Legion that had been gathering in Xercel Province poured out, densely covering the entire surface of Lake Moshantil, and slaughtered towards the city of Moshantil, and the number seemed to exceed that of the Tucan army.
The first to act were the necromancers of the first mage department of the Serre Kingdom, who teleported directly to the sky above the battlefield of Asen Lake, throwing all kinds of necromancers unscrupulously.
As a result, it can be imagined that there is already resentment here, and the negative energy is highly concentrated.
This directly caused their necromancy to attach the extremely effective effect of the spell, and the power was exerted to the extreme.
Countless resentful spirits danced wildly on the ice of Lake Assen, countless zombies struggled in the ice, and a large number of corpses in the lake opened their eyes one after another, filled with endless black light, and began to ferociously attack all the living creatures around them.
Due to the particularity of the battlefield, at least half of the corpses in the battlefield of Asen Lake were either frozen in the ice or sunk to the bottom of the lake, and the ice surface that was already one meter thick became their shackles and firmly restrained them.
Those spirits are not subject to this limitation.
It's just that the number of spirit spirits is pitifully small.
This is a battlefield where divine forces are intervened on both sides.
Most of the souls were either looted by Gavin's war marauders or became part of the killing power of Yamen Khan.
If you want to summon a spirit spirit on a corpse, there is a most basic premise, that is, the soul is still stuck in the body, or still in the fallen underworld, without being judged, going to the realm of gods or reincarnation.
In either case, it is no longer possible to transform into an undead.
There is no way to transform the corpses of those who have died or received the blessing of the priests of the good gods into the dead.
Only those who died in vain have a chance to become undead.
The imaginary undead who appeared on the battlefield of Asen Lake were either summoned directly by these necromancers with spells, or they were fish that slipped through the net.
Like Gavin's war raiders, Yamen Khan is not a true god, but a stealer of killing power, and there is a distance limit for soul harvesting.
If he were in Lake Asen, he would be able to envelop the entire battlefield under his influence.
But when he was forced to follow the Haslan witches and turn their attention to the city of Moshtier, the ensuing battle was beyond his scope.
At that time, the intensity of the fighting had been greatly reduced, the death toll was relatively limited, and it was spread over a long front. (End of chapter)
