I am a god in another world

"Okay." Miklos nodded readily and projected the whole process of his contact and meeting with the king and ministers of Dark Castle. Anyway, it was all about sniping the Conqueror Army, and there was no plan to jointly conspire with the Lizard Queen.

As for whether Dark Castle secretly had any other plans, whether it was using itself as a gun, that was none of his business.

"They are acting in order to push you to the Thun Swamp and to your Majesty's royal court. They must have some conspiracy. Doing nothing is not in line with the nature of these greedy and cunning people." The spirit Naga said in an extremely affirmative tone.

His knowledge may not be as good as that of the ruling class of Dark Castle, but he is still wise. If they were a group of fools who were fooled by provocation, they would have been uprooted by Dark Castle long ago, instead of becoming bigger and stronger in Thun Swamp and becoming the princes who dominate this place.

Miklos couldn't keep silent any longer, so he analyzed, "Perhaps the Dark Castle has the same concerns as you, fearing that they will be attacked by your Majesty's army when they fight the Conqueror's Army.

They have a plan, and they should want to see your Majesty and the Conqueror's Army fighting each other, so that they can sit back and reap the benefits and make themselves invincible. However, low risk means low gain. If you do nothing, you can only watch the Conqueror's Army with a lot of wealth, swaggering past you."

"You don't need to tell us this, we know it too." The Spirit Naga hissed.

"My Vizier, what do you think we should do? Are we just going to sit back and watch such a huge amount of unprecedented wealth pass by us?" The Lizard Queen's dragon eyes, which were squeezed abnormally small by the fat, stared at the Spirit Naga with piercing eyes. The flames in them seemed to devour her. She hoped to hear only one answer.

Having served Kulgol for many years, no one knows the black dragon in front of him better than the spirit naga. She has the extreme greed of a dragon, and her gluttony is the best proof. There is no such thing as a lion eating the big head for her, but only monopoly.

Either she didn't see it or didn't know it, otherwise everything should belong to her, especially the Thun Swamp, which she regards as her private property, even the geese flying in the sky and the caravans passing by, all belong to her.

If he goes against the Lizard Queen's idea, he, the vizier, will immediately become a thing of the past.

This kind of thing has not only happened before, but more than once. When the Lizard Queen needs him or remembers him, he will promote him. Anyway, the core of his life essence is in her hands. Without her nod, he will never leave the Thun Swamp.

The spirit naga replied: "No matter what conspiracy and tricks the Dark Castle has prepared, a large number of troops must be assembled. This is determined by the size of the enemy. This is also what we need to do next. At that time, who is the prey and who is the hunter is still an unknown."

"Hahaha... You are worthy of being my vizier. You are as smart and wise as ever. I believe that with your wisdom, we will definitely become the hunters who stand to the end and swallow all the prey in one gulp." The Lizard Queen roared excitedly, "Pass on my order. All those who can fight in the Tuen Swamp will go out to fight and come to the royal court to gather. The period is two days. Those who fail to arrive within the deadline will all sink into the rotten water pool."

"The queen has ordered to gather in two days. If you fail to arrive within the deadline, your body will be sunk in the rotten water." The spirit naga gave a brief summary to the Lizard Queen and ordered the evil-toothed half-dragons, "Send the order immediately."

"Yes, sir." One by one, the evil-toothed half-dragons took off into the air and flew in all directions of the Tuen Swamp, repeating the same order loudly while flying.

At the same time, more than a dozen evil-toothed half-dragons left the nest, each of them had at least 15 life dice, either at the peak of transcendence or quasi-legendary. They were messengers and front-line commanders sent by the Lizard Queen. The soldiers of the tribes they passed along the way had to gather under their flags and obey their dispatch and command.

Gathering monster armies with powerful confidants as the core is a common practice of this monster kingdom. It was the case with the Troll Kingdom in the past, and it is also the case with the Lizard Kingdom now.

The only difference is that a large part of the Troll Kingdom's troops were forced to gather with them. All the armies were pieced together, and their combat effectiveness was below the horizontal line. The noble trolls knew this at the beginning, so they did not count on those cannon fodders, but used them as sacrifices to summon more powerful demon armies.

The Lizard Queen's Lizard Kingdom is different. This black dragon has been operating here for hundreds of years, and all the people she rules are her people - literally, those half-dragons and dragon vein lizardmen must have her blood flowing in them.

Loyalty is beyond doubt, they will never betray the Lizard Queen.

At the same time, they have their own clear affiliation, which can be seen from the direction of their messengers. After these dozen half-dragons left the nest, the direction was very clear and there was no confusion.

In this way, the troops they assembled were not put together temporarily, but had clear organization and affiliation. As for how strict this organization is and how clear the division is, it needs to be verified on the battlefield.

According to the minimum number of 500 battle groups, they can at least gather more than 5,000 troops. Given that slavery is practiced here, it is normal to add one or two slave soldiers.

The war potential of this Lizard Kingdom far exceeds Miklos's initial estimate.

If they were alone, at best they would cause trouble to the Conqueror Army, but it would not be a fatal threat.

But if the Dark Castle, which was eyeing them covetously, was added, it would be hard to say.

Originally, Miklos had not figured it out, but after the questioning by the Spirit Naga, he finally figured it out.

The Dark Castle was not unwilling to join the game, but was setting its own game, using itself as a gun to lure the Lizard Queen and her Monster Kingdom into the game.

Now the Lizard Queen and the others have already known that this is a game set by the Dark Castle, so they will try every means to break the game, and then in turn set up a game for the Dark Castle and the Conqueror Army.

This is a game.

The Dark Castle, the Lizard Kingdom, and the Conqueror Army are all in this game.

They are only direct participants in this game, and there are also a large number of indirect participants.

The Kingdom of Sambia is making every effort to promote this game.

The Kingdom of Cormier exerted its power indirectly. Don't think they are too innocent. If they don't need this game to be established, it's very simple. Just open the east road and allow the conqueror army to pass through the belly of the Kingdom of Cormier and cross into the valley.

The coalition forces of the cities on the Dragon Coast have already filled Persicuse, blocking the possibility of the conqueror army going south again, or more accurately, the possibility of all forces going south. A large number of pirate ships are wandering in the lower reaches of the Border River.

No matter who wins or loses, the pattern of the Goblin Border will definitely change dramatically.

As for not joining the game?

That is the most stupid idea. Not joining the game means directly entering the ranks of the eliminated. After the winner swallows the benefits, he will take advantage of the situation to deal with the non-participant. At that time, the swamp may not be able to protect its safety.

Don't forget that there is more than one swamp in the Goblin Border. The winner can use the spoils in his hands to recruit a large number of swamp native mercenaries from another swamp as auxiliary forces.

After all the evil-toothed half-dragons left their nests, the spirit naga grinned, revealing the fangs of the poisonous snake in his mouth and said: "For the next period of time, please ask Mr. Mikros to stay here as a guest and witness how Her Majesty the Queen hunts those stupid humans and those cunning swindlers in the Dark Castle."

"It's my honor." Mikros was mentally prepared. Even if it was to prevent him from leaking secrets, they would not let him go easily, not to mention that he might be suspected of being a spy of the Dark Castle of the Zhentarim, so it was even more impossible for him to leave.

However, before the outbreak of the war, he was absolutely safe. It was true that those colorful dragons were chaotic evil, but they were absolutely not chaotic in one thing, that is, to plunder more wealth for themselves.

Waiting until the end of the war was the most dangerous time for him. In order to celebrate the victory or vent the anger of failure, the other party might eat him as a snack.

Mikros had done what he should and shouldn't do. The rest was to wait for the development of the situation.

Everyone's eyes were all fixed on the conqueror army, staring at their every move.

The conqueror army that entered the Goblin Border did not open a road at will this time, but went north along the Wasteland Trail.

Don't be misled by the name of the Wasteland Trail. This name is used from the past. In fact, it is not a narrow mountain road now, but a wide mountain road that runs along the western foot of the South Stormhorn Mountains.

Although the mountain road here is winding, it is not difficult to walk. Including the building-type chariots equipped with giant livestock, most of the sections here are unobstructed. As for the small part that is in the way, it is the work of the pioneer vanguard army. Just like before, they will widen, repair and level this place to the extent that the army can pass smoothly before the main force of the conqueror army arrives.

The current appearance of the Wasteland Trail is naturally the credit of the Kingdom of Cormyr.

The Stormhorn Mountains are like a reverse 7-shaped, wrapping up the west and north of the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Xiao He is the one who makes it and Xiao He is the one who makes it fail.

The reason why the Kingdom of Cormyr was able to develop from an immigrant farmer's farm into a kingdom was thanks to this terrain, which helped them resist the harassment from the north and west. In addition to the Hibernation and Thunder Peak Mountains, they only needed two elite troops to block the eastern and northern passes to develop with confidence.

But when the Kingdom of Cormyr developed to a certain extent, this unique terrain became the biggest obstacle to their outward development.

Why did the Kingdom of Cormyr not eat up such a large rocky land completely?

Because it was isolated by the North Storm Cape Mountains, it could only enter by detour. If it was eaten, it meant that the defense lines of the Kingdom of Cormyr in the north and east would all have to be pushed outward. This was not something that could be solved by 10,000 or 20,000 troops. Without the support of natural barriers, at least 100,000 troops would have to be stationed, which was the total national strength of the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Although the rocky land was valuable, it was not large enough to allow the Kingdom of Cormyr to double its army, and it became a tasteless and a pity to abandon it.

When the Kingdom of Sambia rose in the east and cut off the Kingdom of Cormyr's eastward advance, they turned their energy to the west. They formulated a grand westward expedition plan. They spent a full hundred years and three generations to forcibly open up the Stormhorn Mountains and expand the Wasteland Trail into the current Wasteland Avenue.

The plan is full, but the reality is skinny.

They did open up the road, but the plan to conquer the Goblin Border was stranded in front of the Thun Swamp.

At that time, the Lizard Queen was already entrenched here. If they wanted to enter the Goblin Border, they had to fight a big battle with her and overturn her car. Only then would the army of the Kingdom of Cormyr have the possibility of entering the Goblin Border.

This gamble was a bit big. If they won, it would be fine. If they lost, whether it was the Zhentarim, the Kingdom of Sambia, or the cities of the Dragon Coast, they would turn into jackals and bite the fat but weak Kingdom of Cormyr hard.

This was the weakness of the kingdom. Before they attacked, the first thing they considered was defense.

In this regard, they were not as good as the Conqueror Army led by Gavin. They were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. The Conqueror Army was everything to them. They only needed to consider what was in front of them, not what was behind them. Naturally, they had no taboos in attacking cities and seizing strongholds.

The expansion of territory was unsuccessful, but the expansion of trade routes was very successful, which became the most convenient, smoothest and safest road on land in the East and West Heartlands.

The name of the Heartlands region originated from this place, which includes Cormyr, the Vale and Sembia and the surrounding affiliated areas. The countries and city-states here use one language, and their civilization customs and social laws are also very similar. They may not be the most populous, dangerous or powerful country in Faerun, but they are the most representative existence in Faerun.

Later, as the name extended, they slowly became the East Heartlands region.

In contrast, West Heartlands was naturally born, which mainly includes the areas north of Baldur's Gate, east of the Kingdom of Amn, and the Dragon Coast and west.

As for the north of Baldur's Gate and the east of the Anauroch Desert, it is the famous Northland.

However, in the eyes of the Kingdom of Amn and the Kingdom of Tethyr, whether it is the real Northland or East and West Heartlands, they will be called the Northland.

Just like in China, the division between northerners and southerners is very confusing. Each place has its own standards, and Faerun is no exception.

This trade route brought a lot of wealth to the Kingdom of Cormyr, and they naturally attached great importance to this place. There are not only a large number of checkpoints along the way, but also a large number of patrols passing through this place. The entire Western Storm Cape Mountains have been completely tamed by them.

Most of the barbarians here have sworn allegiance to the Kingdom of Cormyr. Compared with wielding weapons to plunder wealth, they have tasted the sweetness of exchanging wealth for trade. They can often be seen around the checkpoints on the Wasteland Trail, using the local specialties in their hands to exchange their scarce living supplies with merchants along the way.

The arrival of the conqueror army naturally set off a trading frenzy among them. Countless barbarian merchants rushed down from the mountains upon hearing the news, bringing a large number of mountain products, such as goats, furs, mountain delicacies, etc.

Gavin and his men still adhered to the previous concept, combining migration with business, and accepting everyone. Even if they traded some goods that were not suitable for the army, they would either drag them back to Mythnoel directly with the shadows, or hand them over to the Conqueror caravans accompanying the army to sell them according to the market.

The Conqueror Army was prohibited from passing through the East Road of the Kingdom of Cormyr and the Persian Library of the Dragon Coast, but their small-scale caravans would not be prohibited from entering and exiting. After all, trade was their core foundation, especially since the Kingdom of Cormyr and the Conqueror Army not only had no grudges, but also had a very ambiguous and close relationship. The Conqueror Army was not allowed to use the East Road purely because this road passed through the core hinterland of Cormyr, which was entirely based on the consideration of the entire national security.

National security is above all else, and it is impossible to rely on a contract or personal relationship.

Previously, the Conqueror Army used Amn and the Dragon Coast purely for no reason, and they had never discussed it with them.

Although the wasteland trails are smooth, they are winding mountain roads after all. The Conqueror Army, with a large number of trucks and the elderly, weak and sick who are in a state of recuperation, can hardly speed up. They maintain an advance speed of 70 to 80 kilometers a day. The camping is completely determined by the road section. They will definitely not camp on the rugged winding mountain road, which is too scattered. They either camp in advance or travel a longer distance. This is all carefully planned. There is no such thing as not going up or down.

With the joining of the Red Falcon Knights led by Catherine, the planning of the Conqueror Army has reached a new level.

After the war on the Dragon Coast, the first elect of the Strategy Lady should have escorted a large number of materials from the Crimson War Academy given to her by Gavin back to the Strategic War Fortress to carry out the final preparations for the academy. However, the night before she was about to leave, the Goddess of Strategy sent down an oracle, asking her to continue to personally guard the Conqueror Army to the north.

For a voter, the oracle mission is always the most important, and other things can be put aside.

Gavin would naturally not refuse such a good thing. As for the reason, he had a vague guess. Previously in Dalaoma, the Goddess of Strategy had taken the opportunity to fight against the attacking Root of Gods to establish the absolute belief status there. Many citizens of Dalaoma became her believers on the spot. Even though most of this belief was temporary and would fade away with the passage of time, she had an electorate as the city lord there, and was good at taking advantage of opportunities and people's hearts. Zalanda took the opportunity to bring the Crimson Banner Cult to Dalaoma to further consolidate the belief of the Goddess of Strategy there, and now it has achieved fruitful results.

If it is said that Zalanda led the citizens of Dalaoma to lay a solid foundation for the belief of the Lady of Strategy.

Then the army of conquerors led by Gavin honored Lady Strategy with practical actions. Every step they took, every place they conquered, every enemy they killed, and every strategy they used were practicing the war methods of the goddess of strategy.

So Gavin had reason to believe that when he led the army of conquerors to complete the road of conquerors, it would also be the moment when Lady Strategy ignited the divine fire, raised the kingdom of God, and officially stepped into the ranks of the gods.
