I am a god in another world
Chapter 777 Conqueror Speed
One is to deepen the understanding between the two sides, because many barriers and conflicts are caused by misunderstandings and misunderstandings.
The Conqueror Army has created too many legends along the way, covered with countless halos, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.
The name of Conqueror is too aggressive, which is very inconsistent with the relatively gentle and slow pace of life in the valley. Many residents of Misty Valley are full of deep worries about this, especially the civil war in the valley stirred up by Lord Lashan of Scar Valley three years ago.
They don’t know or care how much political power there is in it. They only know that once a war breaks out, they will be the ones who are most affected.
The best way to crush rumors is not to explain it with great effort, but to let them see, hear and feel it with their own eyes.
The main body of the Conqueror Army is composed of bankrupt citizens, farmers who lost their homes due to monster attacks, slaves who were trafficked, and other people at the bottom of society. These people may have the color of the market, but they are still simple in nature and will not change because of walking 3,000 kilometers.
It is easy to resonate with the residents of Misty Valley and realize that there is not much difference between them.
Secondly, there is a real exchange of interests.
The Conqueror Army can be regarded as a super caravan. They brought specialties from Tethyr, Giant Plains, Dragon Coast and Goblin Border. It can be said that there is a wide variety of products, and many Misty Valley residents can find what they need from them.
The Conqueror Army will eat food from Misty Valley like crazy, and the bulk of it is still in the Golden Sheaf Monastery.
After finding out the cause of the fire in the grain warehouse, Gavin did not bite the Golden Sheaf Monastery, but signed a supplementary contract to adjust the delivery method of grain.
This one-time transaction of grain is 3,000 tons, and the remaining 2,000 tons will be supplemented after the new grain comes down after the New Year.
As compensation, the exclusive priests of the Mother Earth of the Golden Sheaf Monastery did their best to help the Conqueror Army survive the famine free of charge.
These exclusive priests of Chauntia are called Earth Shepherds, and their exclusive abilities are between those of priests and druids. In addition to being good at casting spells to assist in farming, they are also better at using spells such as water making, grain making, and hero feast than ordinary spellcasters.
The exclusive priests of the Earth Mother go to places where there is a famine to preach, usually using these spells to open the way, helping the residents there to get through the most difficult period and help them resume farming and production. This is also the reason why the Earth Mother has a good reputation among all intelligent creatures. As long as they are not evil by nature, her priests will do their best to help them.
If the spell is free, it is only the spell materials consumed in the casting process, which is relatively cost-effective. In the long run, it can replace at least 800 tons of food and greatly reduce the food gap.
And after they arrive in the Three Rivers, they will definitely not be idle. They will definitely cooperate with the conqueror army to open up large-scale land and livestock pastures there. This is their sacred duty. At that time, there is no need for Gavin to request it. In this way, it is not too bad.
You know, the Golden Sheaf Monastery is one of the three major worship centers of the Earth Mother Goddess on the continent of Faerun.
The No. 1 one is called the Golden Field, which is located not far southeast of Anfel Village. It is built on a piece of land called the Golden Field. There is also a blessed land of Chauntia there, which is twice as large as the Golden Sheaf Monastery. It is said that there is a community of tens of thousands of goddess believers there. It is the largest and most vibrant area for Chauntia believers and is an absolute granary in the north.
The second one is called the Harvest House, located in the Kingdom of Amn. It is composed entirely of female temple sisters. It is an incomparable gorgeous garden. This temple is very old. It has stood on this land before the establishment of the Kingdom of Amn. It was once the core of Chauntia’s faith, but was later replaced by the Golden Field.
But its second position is also being challenged. The challenger is none other than the Golden Sheaf Monastery, which is now known as the granary of the valley. They are famous for their admirable farming skills and helpful diligence. The number of priests and priests is naturally not small. There are only hundreds of them stationed in the monastery, and there are ten times more scattered throughout the valley. This is a considerable force.
The Conqueror Army also ate a large amount of fruits, vegetables and eggs that are not suitable for long-term storage and transportation from the farmers of Misty Valley.
The food prices soared, which were those that were easy to store and transport. The prices of these perishable foods only fluctuated, but not so exaggerated.
The way the Conqueror Army exchanged food from the residents of Misty Valley was not to buy it directly with money, but to use their huge power to do some things that local residents wanted to do but could not do.
For example, widening and repairing the country roads along the Moon Sea Highway.
Another example is to clean up dangerous places around villages, not limited to those places where monsters appear, but also those suspected ghost monsters. All those encountered will not be spared and will be swept away.
Another example is the improvement of public facilities in some villages and towns, not only those city halls, but also the repair of irrigation canals, the construction of water storage reservoirs, etc.
"Sir, it turns out that the legend about your conqueror army is not just a legend. What you did is even more exaggerated than the legend."
"Sir, you have completely refreshed our understanding of construction. In one day, you were able to link up with the progress of numerous construction projects, including hundreds of kilometers of road repairs, the construction of more than a dozen water storage dams, and the construction of dozens of kilometers of drainage canals. Digging.”
"The elves who clean up bushes and weeds, the kobolds who perform explosions, the treants and giants who are responsible for various heavy tasks, and the large number of humans who provide various technical support, coupled with a large number of spells and spells, their construction speed is slow. It’s difficult, even the long-dead Myth Drannor can’t do this.”
"Today is an eye-opener for us. We never thought that magic can be used in this way. In comparison, we were too conservative and pedantic before, guarding huge treasures without knowing how to dig them. This is definitely our biggest dereliction of duty. , If we had implemented Jazz’s concept earlier, Misty Valley’s food production would have doubled.”
"It's not too late. I believe that after cooperating with Jazz, we will make great progress in this aspect."
The Misty Valley councilors who coordinate in various villages, towns, and settlements have really opened their eyes. Ever since they met Gavin, they have been full of praise for the speed of the construction of the conqueror's army.
They had finally seen what a miracle of construction was, what the speed of a conqueror was, and their last doubts about managing the Asaba River had completely disappeared.
Building the Asaba River dam was an impossible task for them, but it was not an impossible task for the army of conquerors.
They finally understood the meaning and weight of the three words conqueror. They were indeed conquering, but what they used was not force, but a terrifying construction speed.
In this way, they in Misty Valley can be considered as one of the conquered ones, and they do so willingly.
There is no need to say more about road construction. The army of conquerors is absolutely professional in this aspect. They can even lay and repair hundreds of kilometers of main trade roads like the Moon Sea Highway every day, let alone villages like Misty Valley. the way.
The army of conquerors did not need to be dispatched in full, but was directly divided into dozens of road construction teams to repair multiple roads at the same time. They were all standard two-lane asphalt roads. When the construction was completed , it is only natural to erect a medium-sized road statue of Gavin as a commemoration at the intersections of those villages and settlements.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
Belief is more of a long-term accumulation. Like the previous large sums of money, there are not many opportunities.
Now that Gavin already has a good reputation in the surrounding valleys, he must make full use of it and turn them into his potential followers.
If there is no way to gain materially, then they can make up for it through faith. Even if they do not believe in Gavin, as long as these roads exist and enjoy the convenience it brings, they will continue to bring divinity to Gavin. Divine power, this is part of the concept.
These well-informed congressmen were stunned, not to mention the residents of Misty Valley. Looking at the speed of construction and the little food they brought out, even the most shameless people were stunned. It's a bit embarrassing, not to mention that these simple people naturally tried their best to use the best things in their hands to entertain the conqueror's army.
When the conqueror army left the Misty Valley, they not only took away many things from here, but also left countless things behind.
They took away countless fruits, melons, vegetables and grains. Not only were the trucks and packhorses of all sizes filled to the brim, but many of them even had backpacks of all sizes, all filled with food, which contained the mist. The friendship and expectations of the people in the valley, I hope that these simple people from Tethyr can gain a foothold in the Battle Valley and build their new home.
They left traces of their past, a construction legend that is hard to break for a while, their brand-new construction and planting concepts, and their unswerving belief in building a beautiful new home.
Crossing the Asaba River from Ashaban Beach, you will leave the Misty Valley, but you have not yet reached the Battle Valley, which belongs to the Cormanso Forest.
Road construction here requires a new method, because this is an out-and-out forest road, with towering trees everywhere that block the sky and the sun. Many trees have closed up again at the top of the road, making this place tidy. There is no sunlight at all.
If you want to widen and renovate this place, you must make way for those trees.
If it were a human being, he would have to use knives and axes to cut down. This approach would inevitably arouse the anger of the natural spirits, and a conflict between the two sides would inevitably occur.
For many people, these roads through the forest are no less dangerous than those in the mountains.
This danger comes not only from the hunting monsters lurking in the forest, but also from the forest elves. Their lifespan is extremely long. Many of them lived in this forest even before the road was built. They have no control over the people crossing here. Road construction, still maintains the anger.
Sometimes, they will vent this anger on the travelers passing by, not necessarily to hurt them, but to lead them into the depths of the forest, using various charming methods or unique natural scenery to attract them, and keep them here as guests a period of time.
The time concept of these long-lived species is different from that of short-lived humans. For humans, a period of time for felines is often a lifetime. Many of them return to the human world decades later, turning from young girls to gray-haired people. The pale old man gave people the feeling of being under the spell of time. Everything in the outside world had long since changed.
This is the case with the Rosaville Road, which passes through the Battle Valley and connects the East Road with the Moon Sea Highway.
It was forcibly reclaimed by the Sambian merchant Rosaville three hundred years ago. In the process, countless trees were cut down, and countless elves and beasts fell under the swords and magic of the Sambian mercenaries. It was not until the Elf King's Court, which was secluded in the depths of the Great Forest of Cormanthor, came forward again and reiterated the sacred contract in front of the standing stone that a consensus was reached.
The elves allowed the road to pass within the sight of the standing stone, which meant that the elves' friends, humans, did not need to resort to violence to achieve their desired goals.
And humans were not allowed to leave this road without permission. If they blasphemed the sacred souls in the forest, they would bear the consequences themselves.
In this regard, Gavin has always paid great attention. After all, there are a large number of natural races in the Conqueror Army. They have made great contributions along the way. Whether it is the elves or the tree people, they followed the migration for more than 3,000 kilometers. It is estimated that this is a unique thing among their companions. Many of them will not be able to walk so many roads in their entire lives, especially the tree people.
It is precisely the existence of these spirits that gives them more choices, and they use a lot of spells such as activating plants and bending wood to move these trees to more suitable locations or make way for the roads they need.
Although this relatively mild method caused the construction progress to plummet tenfold, it was also tacitly approved by those natural races, and no spirits jumped out to block it and cause trouble.
Turning from the Moon Sea Highway to the Rosaville Road, it is considered to have entered the Battle Valley. The long journey of the Conqueror Army is coming to an end, and it is only one step away from the destination.
This time it is no longer Gavin who ran to the front of the Conqueror Army to meet with the Battle Valley Lord Ilmet to discuss the affairs of this great immigration. Instead, Lord Ilmet took the initiative to meet Gavin, but the meeting place was neither in the Battle Valley capital Ezebra nor in the Vizeme Manor in the Three Rivers, but in the Standing Stone.
When it comes to the valley, the Standing Stone is an unavoidable existence.
Even for the entire Faerun continent, the Valley Standing Stone is a major event.
The Valley Calendar that Faerun is using now starts from the Standing Stone. That day was January 1st of the first year of the Valley Calendar. On that day, the Elf King's Court in the Great Forest of Cormanthor and the new immigrants from the Valley signed the Valley Contract.
In this contract, both parties made promises and concessions.
The Elf King's Court allowed the new immigrants from the Valley to settle and survive in the open space in the Great Forest of Cormanthor. In exchange, the new immigrants from the Valley must jointly protect the Great Forest of Cormanthor from being destroyed by more evil forces, and not to allow wanton logging.
This contract symbolizes that the Valley has officially stepped onto the stage of history as a force. They engraved it on a stone tablet and erected it in the center of the Great Forest of Cormanthor as a symbol of the oath of both parties.
Since then, there has been a saying that the Standing Stone is a covenant, and later it was extended to the Standing Stone as a boundary.
Initially, the Standing Stone was not allowed to be visited by humans, but as time went on, more and more merchants from the Kingdom of Tumis and Jondas saw the business opportunities in the Great Forest of Cormanthor and started a new wave of immigration.
However, the main body of immigrants this time was no longer those poor farmers, but merchants. They did not come alone. They brought caravans, mercenaries, torches and axes. They sneered at the so-called valley contract, trampled on it mercilessly, and launched a crazy logging of the Great Forest of Komanso, wantonly harvesting the forest wealth accumulated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
This gave them more money, and they hired more lumberjacks, shipbuilders and mercenaries from Tumis and Jondas to come and build their own gathering points, villages, and even cities on the newly cut open land until they developed into a kingdom.
There were countless wars of all sizes between the two sides, and blood stained every tree and every inch of land plundered by those merchants.
However, with the support of the two old empires of Tumis and Jondas, and the continuous plunder of the resources of the Great Forest of Komanso, these natural guardians were slowly being bled dry and retreating step by step.
This reached its peak after the fall of Myth Drannor, allowing this evil merchant country to be so unscrupulous that it seized the Moon Valley from the Valley Alliance and even built its own capital there.
From the very beginning, the Kingdom of Sembia was a bandit kingdom built on the bones and blood of others. Aggression and plunder were an instinct deep in their bones, as it was before and is still the case now.
What makes people feel extremely ironic is that what curbed the crazy expansion of this evil merchant country was neither the union of the good people of the entire Cormanthor Forest nor the interference of the Kingdom of Cormyr, but another more evil force that rose up in a crazy manner in the north of the Cormanthor Forest and the Moon Sea region. They also saw the value hidden in the Cormanthor Forest and did not want the Sembia merchants to monopolize it, so they secretly interfered and obstructed it.
There is no need to say more about who this new force is. It is the Zhentarim, known as the dark intelligence network.
The fact that the Cormanthor Forest did not completely become a vacant land, the two evil forces and the good forces of the Kingdom of Cormyr, which check and balance each other, is a very critical factor.
Of course, the natural forces in Cormanthor and the tenacious and persistent resistance of the people in the valley are also factors that cannot be ignored.
