These ballistas and catapults were either placed on the commanding heights around the town's gathering point or in a semi-bunkered state.

Gavin had no doubt that once they appeared above the town's gathering point, they would be greeted by a raging storm.

If it is a town or a gathering point, this reaction can be explained by chance, but it is inevitable that all three of them will be the same.

Faced with this situation, Evantha complained dissatisfiedly: "These people are good at everything, but they are a little nervous, and every time they know it's me, they make such a big move."

If I want to enter the town, I have to land on the ground and turn into a human form or go to a designated place and wait for the village mayor to pick me up. ”

"It's no accident that Madam attaches great importance to the general, you have even implemented Madame's teachings directly into the rule of the territory, and this kind of vigilance against air raids far exceeds most of the territory." The Bronze Dragon Maiden's complaint was met with Catherine's high praise.

"It's not just my fault, it's the staff led by Villanica who has carried it out well."

While responding to Catherine, Gavin did not forget to take care of the Bronze Dragon Maiden's emotions, patiently explaining: "This is not aimed at you, but to prevent it from happening.

What if they are paralyzed by your patrols, and there are monsters that resemble or directly disguise themselves as you, and launch an air attack on them?

After all, they're on the ground, and there's no way to tell who you are.

Rather than causing unnecessary losses, it is better to treat everyone the same from the beginning.

This is tedious, but it is better to be safe and not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it.

This is only a temporary method, and in the future, with the increase of the air force in our hands and the construction of urban defense locks, we will further adjust the air control to make everything simpler and more convenient. ”

There's another reason Gavin didn't say more.

At best, they are now migrating to the Battle Valley, not to mention taking root, and even gaining a foothold is still a long way away.

This time, they were stained with the light of the Tucan invasion, drawing the attention of the mercenary Sambian merchants there for a while.

When the war in the Desperate Eastern Regions is over, after they draw their energy back, they will definitely turn their attention to the Battle Valley.

They regard Battle Valley as their own backyard and will never allow anyone to become bigger and stronger here.

As is the case with the Sambian merchants, they rarely have to contact, hire, and arm the monsters of the wilderness to make a way for themselves.

Among them, in the Thundering Peak Mountain Range, the Storm King, who had already fought Gavin once, was undoubtedly the best target.

The air power in his hands is not to be underestimated.

Maybe the other party learned that he was in this period of time, and focused his main energy on the desperate Eastern Regions.

They also began to frequently send aerial scouts to spy on the perimeter of the Battle Valley.

Thankfully, the last time they met, Gavin was skewed to them, fearful of the marauders' abilities, and didn't raid the Battle Valley during his fierce battle with the Toucans in Tyfram City.

Although Gavin is fully prepared here, there should be no problem in holding the other party for a while.

But a fire in the backyard is a headache after all.

When the war in the Desperate Eastern Regions is over, the first thing to do is to find a way to completely eliminate this unstable factor in the Battle Valley.

"You humans are really troublesome." The bronze dragon girl just muttered and didn't continue to complain.

After all, the pleasure of these human villages far outweighs the inconvenience.

She didn't want the towns to be destroyed and deprive herself of a lot of fun.

Gavin suggested, "Wait a minute, I've already heard Pegasus neigh, and if nothing else, Veranica's Sky Guard should be catching up to investigate the situation."

The air defense force in the Battle Valley is naturally not only on the ground, but also in the air mobile force.

The Wyvern Legion is only Gavin's main air combat force, but not all.

In addition to buying tens of thousands of horses from Anfil Village, Gavin later purchased hundreds of mixed-breed Pegasus horses from there.

These half-breed Pegasus have one flaw compared to real Pegasus - lack of intelligence.

The intelligence of a real Pegasus is not inferior to that of an ordinary person.

The mixed-breed Pegasus in Anfil Village, because of the reason for mixing with a large number of war horses, only inherited the appearance of Pegasus, and its intelligence was greatly reduced, only a little higher than those war horses, but limited.

This disadvantage is a flaw for ordinary people, but it is an advantage in the hands of professions such as Paladins, Rangers, and Rangers.

There is no way for their animal companion abilities to be applied to those creatures with high intelligence, not even legendary professionals, which is not allowed by divine laws.

But these low-intelligence mixed-breed Pegasus don't have this kind of limitation.

Lady of Strategy's exclusive Sacrifice Divine Strategists reach class level thirteen and receive the Holy Mount ability, which is the same ability as their animal companions.

However, the main members of the Pegasus Legion in Battle Valley are still those extraordinary rangers or rangers who are proficient in mounted archery, and the Holy Strategists are mainly the leaders.

Even if Gavin now has the largest church group of the Lady of Strategists, he can't have the luxury of using the Holy Strategists as elite soldiers, especially the Transcendent Holy Strategists.

First, the profession is not right, and the greatest role of the Holy Strategist is to be the commander of all classes, so that he can give full play to his talents and abilities.

The second is that the development time of Ms. Strategy is too short, and the divine power can be promoted through faith, and those who are pan-believers can be recruited to collect, and it will take time for pious believers and exclusive sacrifices to precipitate.

Many must start from the baby and integrate the concept of faith into life growth and education.

"Okay." Catherine readily agreed.

Although there was no prior communication, she knew very well what Gavin meant.

He had passed by the new city of Vizeme before, and went directly along the new road of Sanhe to inspect it, just to take her to test the air defense response of the entire battle valley on the spot.

A lot of things are small and big, just point to the end.

It is believed that after this inspection, all strata of the Battle Valley will further strengthen the construction in this regard.

The Pegasus Corps in Battle Valley didn't make Gavin wait long, and soon caught up.

To be more precise, they have been following Gavin and them for a while, but they have not been able to catch up, and it is none other than Gavin's chief staff member, Veranica, who is personally leading the team.

The halfling divine strategist currently represents most of the affairs of the Battle Valley.

"I've seen Lord Lord and Chief Lady." Villanica bowed from afar.

At the same time, a few of the Pegasus knights beside her fell directly and galloped towards the new village not far away.

It didn't take long for the people who had been hiding in the houses and shelters to come out one after another, waving excitedly into the air one by one, even if they couldn't hear what they were saying, they could guess.

It must be that they are paying their respects to Gavin after knowing his identity.

Gavin's popularity among these immigrants did not fall by walking the path of the conquistador.

On the contrary, it grows over time.

Because Gavin is making good on his promise to give them a new home and land of their own.

It's not entirely free, and it takes a lot of hard work to get it, but at least there's hope for all.

"How's the clearing going?" Gavin's primary concern was the farming of the Battle Valley, which was fundamental to the development of a territory.

The immigrants brought by the conqueror's army are still in a semi-military state, and most of the living materials are still centrally distributed by the territory.

It would take at least two to three years for the vast amount of wasteland in the Battle Valley to be cleared and provide a steady supply of food for those immigrants.

Villanika is well aware of the situation in Battle Valley, "According to the latest statistics, in the past three months, we have opened up a total of 83 new villages and towns, and reclaimed nearly 400 square kilometers of land.

We are putting the finishing touches on the crops to be planted, and we will plant them as soon as the season is right.

According to the plan, the first wave will be dominated by potatoes and vegetables, crops with relatively short growth cycles, to relieve food pressure.

Wait until the middle and end of the year to plant a variety of food crops.

It is expected that by the end of this year, it will be enough to complete food self-sufficiency.

By the end of next year, everyone will have some food in their hands. ”

Four hundred square kilometers, sounds huge.

In fact, it is only a narrow cultivated belt less than five kilometers wide that has been opened up around the Sanhe New Road, accounting for less than one percent of the total area of the battle valley.

The total area of the battle valley is more than 50,000 square kilometers.

Even if Gavin migrated a small population of 100,000 people, in a short period of time, it still couldn't change the situation of the vast and sparsely populated battle valley.

Their tour route was carried out along the new road of Sanhe.

As he walked, he listened to a briefing from Villanika about the Battle Valley.

When you enter the Rosavier Way, the original main gathering area of the Battle Valley, the difference between the two places is obvious.

Compared to the race against time, everything here has a laid-back atmosphere, whether it is farming or hunting, the pace is very slow.

When I saw Gavin and his entourage, the reactions varied, ranging from strong reactions like in the new village to no reaction at all.

This represents both Gavin's control over the place and the penetration of Ms. Strategy's beliefs.

This made the Divine Strategists realize more deeply that the development of Lady Strategist's faith has been perfectly integrated with the development of Gavin's territory.

The process of Gavin's territorial expansion is also the process of the development and popularization of the faith of the Lady of Strategy.

They didn't stay long in Battle Valley, and hurried back to Typhram, where there were still a lot of things to settle for them.

The first time was naturally the result of this war between Solid and the Shadow Master Guild.

Although Gavin reached a truce agreement with Musk, the Lord of Shadows, it does not mean that the competition between the two sides is over.

Those shadow thieves won't let go of Typhram's control easily.

And Gavin and they won't give up on the Shadow Thieves.

The way to combat these shadow thieves is simple, as before, to hold high the banner of justice and law, and to fight against those who commit crimes and thugs.

Even the lord of thieves has nothing to say in the face of this situation.

Because the other party is not targeting his followers, if you want not to be attacked, as long as you don't commit crimes.

It is basically impossible for a group of thieves not to sin.

The only way they can do this is to hide themselves deeper and replace them with more covert criminal methods.

Faithfully live up to their god's creed that as long as you don't get caught, you don't commit a crime.

This is a good thing for the citizens of Tafram City.

Originally, the entire city was full of gangs and thieves' guilds, and even the pickpockets on the streets were far less.

This strengthened their belief that Musk, the lord of the thieves, was dead.

Even if the whole city has just experienced the baptism of war, it is still blooming with bright vitality.

As the Feron coalition forces advanced through the front lines, these Sesk merchants followed, and the war represented a business opportunity, especially with the large number of free-roaming mercenaries.

But they soon discovered that General Gavin was not only a command wizard, but also a businessman, and they had reached into the mercenaries one step earlier.

Everywhere they looked, their chariots loaded with cargo.

There are those large, fixed supply points.

There are also small, non-stop freight points.

As the Tucans began to divide their forces and raid on a large scale, these mercenaries, who were good at skirmishing, also had a place to play.

Or set a trap and wait for the Tucans to come to your door.

Or multiple mercenary groups can join forces to eat the Tucans who are too far away from their own army.

Or hunt down the lone Tucans.

Although the record of a single mercenary, or even a mercenary group, is a bit inconspicuous compared to the Tucan army, which still has 150,000 people.

However, the number of mercenaries could not be stopped, more than a thousand, large and small, densely distributed throughout the Sesk Plain, constantly causing harm and trouble to the Tucans.

Within a few days, the Toucan army felt the pain, forcing them to adjust their tactics again.

Looting still needs to be looted, and this is the price that must be paid for losing the baggage.

It's just that they no longer operate in small groups, and each plundering army is at least more than a thousand people, and at the same time several teams are kept fighting together to support each other.

Doing so certainly reduces the risk of being targeted by mercenaries.

However, the efficiency of looting has also been greatly reduced, and it can only maintain the basic supply of the entire army, but there is no way to make a surplus, and life is quite difficult.

After they retreated to the city of Fishante, in the heart of the Sesk Plain, they did not continue to retreat, but set up camp here, and put on a stubborn posture.

The Feron coalition army led by King Yasan chose to fight steadily, advancing slowly, and gradually compressing the living space of Tucan's army.

Gavin had accumulated a large enough advantage in the past two months of sniping in the desperate Eastern Regions, and what they had to do now was to further amplify this advantage, and take full advantage of the lack of logistical supplies for the Tucan army to drag them to the ground.

Faith can indeed endow a person with an extraordinary and tenacious will, but it cannot be used as food and cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for so many people.

Even if the Tucans are not starved and collapsed, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

In order to win the battle in a more secure way, King Ahsan would never resort to a radical head-on battle.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the Tukan people is obvious to all, and just the Killing Vajra transformed by thousands of killing lamas should not be underestimated.

The kind of situation where a human warrior is carrying a giant and smashing wildly, fighting with it.

It will only appear in movies and television dramas or games, and in reality, the huge size is a huge advantage.

What will happen to an ordinary person when he is stepped on by an elephant does not need to be described too much.

And ordinary elephants, in front of giants, are just pets, masters who can be kicked away.

There are only three ways to fight those behemoths.

Either use your flexible size to dodge all your opponent's attacks.

Either you just find a way to get the same body type as the other party, but if you can't do it, you can narrow the gap between the two sides and make the crushing less serious.

Either use a powerful ranged attack to kill him and give them a chance to get close at all.

This is not an easy thing to do, and it is still for that reason, the huge size means that the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the ability to resist blows is not the same.

Ballista crossbow arrows that can penetrate ordinary people, when they reach them, they will be blocked by thick skin and muscle layers, and the same is true of magic.

Don't forget that these Vajra Killers are not purely physical, they are also special professions with all kinds of special skills.

In large-scale field battles, they can best exert their terrifying combat effectiveness, and they can take away several soldiers with a casual kick and punch.

The Tukans were clearly aware of their advantage, and all the people who sent them out were those extremely mobile archers, and these killing lamas did not accompany the team at all, and all of them were concentrated around the commander of the main army, and did not give the Faren coalition army any chance to break through.

And Gavin, the quartermaster of the Pheren coalition army and the general of the city defense of Typhram City, did not follow behind the ass of the Pheren coalition army and act as a nanny for them, nor did he stay in Typhranm City to continue to sort out the security, but shifted most of his energy to Kronte.

This is another benefit of having control over a large number of Lady Strategists' exclusive sacrifices, who are both civil and martial, able to command battles, charge into battle, and carry out logistical supply tasks.

All Gavin needed to do was set up the framework and let them do the rest, and he just needed to come back from time to time to inspect and grasp the general direction.

By the time Gavin arrived in Kronte again, it had changed to a different scene.

The Lythmans' continuous tents had vanished, and after the Tucans crossed the lake and the Totem Dream began, the Lysermans answered the call to return to their homeland.

Normally, the land here is far more fertile than the Lesserman Kingdom, and more suitable for human life.

But neither the Lysserman witches nor the Lyssermen had the slightest attachment to this place, and they did not hesitate to abandon it.

If it had been when he had just arrived in the Desperate Eastern Regions, Gavin would have had no difficulty understanding this kind of behavior.

As he made more contact with the Lessermans, Gavin somewhat understood.

It's not that it's hard to leave their homeland, it's that these Lysersmans, like the Lysserman witches, are too tied to that land.

It was only in that land that they were the unique Lyssermans, and after leaving that land, it didn't take long for them to become ordinary people.

This situation is not unique to the Lysersmen, such as the Goliaths, the half-giant race, which is more serious.

Gavin doesn't say anything about this, just respects their customs.
