I am a god in another world
Chapter 785 Strategic Development (End of this Volume)
Vizeme Manor.
This once haunted manor used its actual situation to explain what it means that things will turn around when they reach the extreme.
When it did not have immortality, it was surrounded by black fog and looked full of ghosts.
Now it has more than 40 points of immortality, but ordinary people can't feel any signs of this, as if it is no different from an ordinary manor.
Only those who have entered the supernatural can feel the difference here. Every brick, stone, grass and tree here are soaked with a powerful force. Even in the inconspicuous shadow, there is power.
As long as the owner here wants, in a moment, this place can escape into another world and become a place more terrifying than a ghost cave.
Back to the basics.
This adjective can be used not only on people, but also on things.
This is the case with Vizeme Manor now, which means that it has super control over its own power, and negative energy will not easily spread.
No outsiders can be seen here, including the holy warriors of the Holy Light Hammer Monastery.
With the development of the company, some businesses were abandoned by Gavin, and the haunted house business of Vizeme Manor ranked first.
Although the fear power collected in this process has the ability to strengthen the shadow servants of Vizeme Manor, the effect is too slow. How can the high-quality servants brought by a war be more convenient? How can those shadow servants gain professional level experience faster in the process of creating value?
As a prison for the souls of enemies, the importance of Vizeme Manor is constantly increasing. Allowing a large number of strangers to enter and exit will leave opportunities for its enemies.
This situation is not an isolated case. With the development in the future, there will inevitably be countless wrong roads and forks, and it is inevitable to waste a certain amount of energy on them and then adjust the direction of advance.
Therefore, even if the conqueror army arrived at the Three Rivers, it was still cold here. The lively one was the Vizeme New Village five kilometers away, but Gavin chose to spend most of his time here.
He did not become extremely busy because he became the acting lord of the Battle Valley. On the contrary, he seemed much more relaxed than the conqueror army on the road. He only needed to take out one to two hours every day to concentrate on handling various government affairs and put forward his own opinions.
A journey of 3,500 kilometers can change many things.
It can give immigrants many excellent qualities - perseverance, proficiency in cooperation, sharpening combat skills, etc.
It is also an excellent way to select talents. Those mediocre people who do nothing or talk about war on paper have no way to deal with various emergencies along the way and are eliminated early. Those who have abilities will shine even in ordinary positions and will be promoted soon.
If it is said that the most basic screening is carried out before arriving at the City of Faith.
Then the period from the City of Faith to the Battle Valley is the selection of the best.
Many of the more mediocre middle and low-level officers were left in the ghost castles that were restarted along the way. Becoming the lord of a village or the ruler of a castle was the limit of their ability. If there were no magical opportunities, they would stop here in their lives and would embark on the process of becoming knights and nobles.
If there were people with a certain foundation in Tesser, they would take some of their relatives over and establish their own families, while those without a foundation would set up families on the spot, using their current villages and towns as the foundation and slowly develop their own families.
This is the consistent development process of humans in the wilderness, and even the conqueror army led by Gavin is no exception.
Gavin was not prepared to engage in democratic elections or unions, so he was prepared to use the same aristocratic ruling system as the Kingdom of Tesser and Cormyr.
What kind of political system to adopt is often determined by the general environment, not the result of a person's brain.
The entire environment of Faerun is ruled by aristocrats, and it is nothing more than this aristocratic class or knight class, or wealthy businessmen, or slave owners.
The main force of immigrants brought by the Conqueror Army from Tethyr has been ruled by the monarchy system for nearly a thousand years, and they highly recognize the knights and nobles.
Going with the flow is naturally the most time-saving and labor-saving. As for the progress of civilization, it is not within Gavin's consideration for the time being. That is a problem that he will need to consider after he has nothing to do.
Of course, he will not copy the ruling model of Tethyr or the Kingdom of Cormyr. He will definitely incorporate many of his own things into it, which will make it easier for him to centralize power and concentrate a lot of power on major projects such as the construction of the Conqueror's Road.
This part will be completed by the part he brought back to Vizeme New Village, which can be seen from the large number of buildings Gavin prepared in Vizeme New Village.
At least half of these immigrants will be off-duty - buildings have never been prepared for farmers, but for workers who do not farm.
And the food supply of Vizeme New Village will be purchased from Misty Valley, Deep Forest Valley, Feather Valley and other valleys with good relations in a short period of time.
After two to three years, the output of those restarted ghost villages will be enough to supply a city with a population of 100,000.
Those best and most low-level military officers were promoted one after another. After Gavin became the acting lord of Battle Valley, a new ruling class of Battle Valley was formed with them as the center.
The legal department is formed by Chief Judge Darnell of the Hammer of Light Abbey. They will refer to the laws of the Kingdom of Tethyr and Cormyr, and combine some existing customs and traditions of the valley to draft laws and bills belonging to their Battle Valley.
This is also one of the main reasons for friction and disagreement between the valleys in the valley. Although they are all part of the valley, their political systems are very different, with different customs and laws. Many sub-valleys have never had their own laws at all, and the Battle Valley is one of them. They all resolve differences through some ancient traditions.
Many ancient traditions are not fair and just, and some are even very absurd and ignorant. Many evils are born from these ancient traditions (such as burning witches), and then crazy and bloody revenge is launched against the former villagers.
The paladins of the Hammer of Justice Abbey have the deepest understanding of this and can effectively avoid it.
Chief Judge Darnell will certainly not refuse, because this is what they want.
As devout believers of the god of justice, Tyr, their biggest task is to promote the concept of fairness and justice to the world. Is there any better tool in this world than the law?
With the constraints of the law, many unfairness and injustice will be strangled in the cradle.
In fact, many of Tyr's doctrines can be used as laws.
The novice monks of Tyr are required as follows, "You should reveal the truth, punish criminals, correct mistakes, and your behavior should always be true and fair."
Tyr and his followers are committed to the cause of justice, correcting mistakes, and making judgments of just revenge.
This path may not be as equal or fair as some people have praised this god. The key lies in the revelation of the truth and the punishment of sinners.
Tyr's clergy vow to uphold the law wherever they go and punish those who are wronged by the law. They must preserve their own judgments, contracts and decisions.
Some Tyr paladins are very extreme and adhere to the concept of black and white.
For such holy warriors, not to mention those evil and gray people who are afraid of them, even many kind people are not interested in them, because they will kill for some minor things that are not considered crimes.
Although the Hammers of the Hammer of Justice Abbey are not of this type, at least most of them are not, but Gavin will not be unprepared. The Battle Valley Law drafted by them is only a draft. Before implementation, it will be repeatedly discussed and revised by the People's Congress before implementation.
As for the People's Congress, it is ready to be elected by all the people of the Battle Valley, and strive to make immigrants and original residents of the Battle Valley each account for half, at least 100 people, including elites from all walks of life, and strive to listen to opinions to the greatest extent.
The internal affairs will be presided over by Veronica, who will select suitable people and preside over various government affairs.
This candidate certainly has Gavin's deep meaning. This is not only to show his identity as a strategic lady voter, but also to represent that in a short period of time, the Battle Valley military government is very strong, and all developments revolve around the military.
The reason is also very sufficient, which is to defend against the cloud giants in the Thunder Peak Mountains from attacking again.
Earlier in the town of Ezebra, at the multi-valley witness meeting, Gavin and his team cut off the beginning and the end, and played the phantom of the cloud giants leading hundreds of flying cavalry to attack fiercely, and the tragic scene left by their final retaliatory bombing of the conqueror army to the lords and councilors.
Not only did they gain their understanding, but they also sounded the alarm for them.
Such a terrifying number of flying cavalry will not be restricted by the terrain. Not only will the Misty Valley be within their harassment range, but even the Feather Valley across the valley will not be able to guarantee its own safety.
Let alone coming out in full force, even if the other party only sent a small flying cavalry squad to harass, they could not fight alone.
However, they could not afford to form a flying cavalry that could fight against them, nor could they do it in a short time.
The conqueror army repelled them with such small casualties, which shows that they have very strong air defense capabilities. It is natural for them to add an offensive and defensive alliance while establishing an alliance of interests.
Especially with the common enemy of the Kingdom of Sambia, some interests are in conflict.
In terms of military affairs, the sword master Eldan is the general.
Although the followers of Lady Strategy are both civil and military, they can govern the country with civil skills and charge into battle with military skills.
But now it is still Tempus who is the god of war. In the short term, his position is unshakable. Lady Strategy is just a newly rising young strategist under his command.
In terms of charging into battle, the followers of Tempus are professional.
Many times, they don’t need to do anything. Just appearing on the battlefield will boost the morale of those soldiers, which means that the god of war is with them.
What Gavin values most is the combat experience and combat skills of these followers of Tempus. Unlike the combat skills he honed in his adventures, the followers of Tempus are more inclined to the military formation. Soldiers trained by them will have greatly improved their abilities in this aspect.
Eldan’s main task is to train soldiers.
Gavin also fulfilled his original promise. He not only allocated thousands of people to repair and renovate the Sword Monastery, but also opened a special road leading to this place and set up a barracks for 4,000 Earth Wolf Cavalry in the surrounding area.
This will be the future military center of Battle Valley. Not only will the middle and low-level officers need to come here for further training, but ordinary soldiers will also take turns one after another. Who can afford this condition?
For the Foreign Affairs and Propaganda Department, Regina is the best choice. Not only is she professionally qualified, but her wide network of contacts in the valley is unmatched by others. In the past ten years, Battle Valley's foreign affairs have basically been handled by her.
She has a foundation in this area, and now she has received a stable large-scale investment to make it more professional.
In order to facilitate management and development, Gavin and his team have further systematically divided the Battle Valley.
Combining the original division of the Battle Valley and its own geographical characteristics, they divided it into three areas, namely the Three Rivers Area, the Forest Valley Area and the Battle Ridge Area.
The Three Rivers Area is the original Three Rivers Area, west to the Upper Ashaba River, south to the Lower Ashaba River, north to the Komanso Forest, east to the Yewen Passage and the Good Fortune Fang Mountains, including the Yewen Forest.
The Forest Valley area is the original strip area, mainly referring to the Rosaville Road, west to the Yewen Passage, east and north to the Komanso Forest, and south to the Fortune's Fang Mountains.
The Battle Ridge area is the Fortune's Fang Mountains and the surrounding 50 kilometers, all of which belong to this area.
The distribution of personnel and geographical location of these three areas are destined to require different policies in future development.
The Three Rivers area is an immigration area, and 80% of the conqueror army brought by Gavin is distributed here. This is not only a reclamation area, but also the sense of identity with Gavin as the acting lord is not comparable to other areas. Some innovative industries and initiatives will be easier to promote here. This must be Gavin's development focus in the Battle Valley.
The Forest Valley area is the main concentration of the original residents of the Battle Valley. At least 70% of the population is distributed here, and more than half of them are distributed on the Rosaville Road.
This place itself has a relatively complete structure and has formed a relatively fixed lifestyle, mainly family farming and small vendors.
Although their style of doing things is not conservative, their ability to accept new things is relatively limited. For the development of this place, we should follow the principle of gradual progress and drive it through the radiation of the Three Rivers District.
In a short period of time, this place will develop into the main grain production area of the Battle Valley, and Gavin will appropriately increase the support for agriculture here.
The Battle Ridge District is the land gateway of the Battle Valley to Sambia. Once a war breaks out, this place will bear the brunt. The Sword Monastery is located at the junction of this area and the Forest Valley District, and it will be the main garrison location of the Battle Valley in the future.
When the Conqueror Army arrived at the Battle Valley, it was already the end of November, and winter had already arrived.
Unlike Tethyr, which is located in the subtropical climate zone, the valley is located in the most obvious temperate monsoon climate zone. The four seasons here are extremely distinct and the duration is roughly the same.
The days in summer are hot and long, and the days in winter are cold and short.
The originally relatively comfortable autumn was also tossed by the rainy season in Cormanso to be damp and cold.
The only relatively comfortable season is spring.
The Vizeme New Village, which is covered by the Huifeng Pearl, does not feel obvious climate change. The temperature and humidity here are kept constant within the most comfortable range for humanoid creatures - neither too cold nor too hot, just right for sleeping in thin clothes.
This kind of equipment that directly adjusts the weather is more useful than central air conditioning. After all, it has a coverage range of five kilometers. Once it is manufactured, there is no subsequent consumption.
There is no need to say more about the benefits. At least the firewood and quilts used for heating in winter can be saved, but there is no way to save cotton clothes to keep warm, after all, the Huifeng Pearl only has a coverage range of five kilometers in radius.
It is impossible for the conqueror army to hibernate in the Vizeme New Village. Their construction pace will not be slowed down by the arrival of winter.
After all, the construction method they rely on is not affected by temperature, even if biocement occupies the main construction in the future, it will not be affected.
Biocement is named only because of some of its characteristics, like the cement that Gavin knows.
In fact, there is a huge difference between the two. Especially with the intervention of auxiliary magic, the various characteristics of biological cement begin to surpass the cement made by pure physical methods.
The practicality of Huifengzhu itself far exceeds its own value and has a huge demand in the market.
It is typical that there is a price but no market.
Even though Gavin offered the purchase price of 300,000 gold coins per piece, he has not been able to purchase the second one except the one seized from the young red dragon's nest.
Because this kind of magic equipment is not ordinary magic equipment, but dragon equipment.
They are not deliberately refined, but those powerful dragons (at least adults) use their innate talents to synchronize special environments for a long time, and spend several years to condense them.
According to the different ages of the dragons that condense the dragon equipment, their abilities are different, mainly reflected in the coverage range.
The Huifengzhu in Gavin's hand is at least from the silver dragon or bronze dragon in the ancient dragon stage.
The weather beads condensed by different dragons are also different.
For example, the red dragon condenses a flame bead, and the area covered by its synchronization will be in a high temperature state that ordinary creatures cannot endure. The central area will condense into magma pools of varying sizes.
Another example is that the white dragon condenses the ice bead. The area that is synchronized with it will be frozen below zero all year round, and the central area will automatically condense an ice layer that never melts.
Dragon equipment was not originally prepared for humans, but for the dragons themselves.
First, it is convenient to build a temporary dragon nest, turning the environment that is not suitable for them into the most suitable one for their survival. For example, if a red dragon goes deep into the High Glacier or the Great Glacier and carries a flame bead with him, he will be spared from great suffering.
Second, it is given to those young dragons who are deeply loved by them, helping them to settle down in places that are not suitable for their survival.
This situation mostly occurs between metal dragons. Even mother and son, there is no such harmonious relationship between colored dragons. They either steal directly from the mother dragon or spend a lot of money to buy from their parents.
Because this kind of equipment is usually found in those dragon nests, it is also called dragon nest equipment.
Only a few dragons like silver dragons and bronze dragons, whose living environment is extremely similar to that of ordinary people, condense the Huifeng Bead, which is also suitable for humanoid creatures.
Since it is dragon equipment, and dragons have existed in the continent of Faerun for hundreds of thousands of years, it stands to reason that this kind of equipment should not be very rare.
This involves a general law of magic equipment.
Magic equipment is not permanent, at least most of them are not. They have a magic exhaustion cycle, and will exhaust and weaken over time, changes in environmental elements, and other factors, until they become ordinary equipment without magic power.
The reason why the disaster caused by the Arcane Calamity is so terrible is that a large number of magic equipment made with the help of the magic network exploded at the moment of the collapse of the magic network, especially magic wands and scrolls, which are consumable and have poor stability.
Countless spellcasters were killed on the spot, and many magic treasure houses were blown up to the sky, especially the magic kingdom of Halua and the red robe magic kingdom of Sel, which were founded on magic, and suffered particularly badly.
The latter is slightly better. The magic equipment they made is mainly for sale, and many are hoarded in concessions all over Faerun.
The former suffered because of the wizard's hoarding habit. It is said that the explosion they caused was heard by Deepwater City thousands of kilometers away. The entire kingdom was razed to the ground, and at the same time, a major earthquake and tsunami swept across half of the continent.
Of course, if it is just time decay, this cycle is very long, ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. Some of them directly resist time decay, such as artifacts. Not to mention time, even human beings find it difficult to destroy them.
Some special methods can also block this decay, such as the previous mineral vein sealing technique under the statue city. That kind of time tracing will not work on magic equipment.
Even for the current conqueror army, the application of magic is still mainly in construction, and the popularity of daily life is relatively low. It can only be icing on the cake, and many things will slowly return to normal.
At least in the short term, it must return to normal.
This also represents the shift of Gavin's development focus, and a large part of the magic power has been withdrawn from the Battle Valley.
As for the destination, it is the front line of the war in full swing-the East Region of Despair.
The invasion of the Tukan nomads has become a major event that has attracted the attention of the entire Faerun, and the eyes of all major forces are focused on this place.
Because of this incident, the merchants of Sembia have no energy to pay attention to the conqueror army.
These profit-seeking merchants, like jackals, flocked to Cesk, where they hoarded supplies, drove up prices, and frantically plundered wealth from the countries in the desperate Eastern Region.
And this is exactly what Gavin and his team need. They need a relatively peaceful environment to take root.
Without the Kingdom of Sembia to take the lead, even if Bow Valley and Tasser Valley have different opinions on the large-scale immigration of the Battle Valley, they dare not show it.
The most tense relationship is the Storm King in the Storm Horn Mountains.
He was unwilling to accept his setback in the Tifton Rift Valley, and subsequently launched several retaliatory attacks. This time, not only did he use flying troops, but he also sent out a considerable ground monster army to carry out multi-line harassment in a scattered soldier mode.
As a result, they just left the Storm Horn Mountains and suffered heavy casualties.
Because of the existence of teleportation, small-scale multi-line harassment is difficult to take effect. With the cooperation of more than a dozen extraordinary spellcasters, hundreds of extraordinary elites can appear in the surrounding towns in an instant.
Gavin was sure that the opponent could not make their flying soldiers fly at the speed of the half-moon colt in a short period of time. Every time he attacked, he aimed at their flying soldiers for key attacks. From beginning to end, he did not send out flying dragon mounts.
This is naturally a show of weakness to the enemy.
If the cloud giant knew that the flying soldiers in Gavin's hands were not inferior to them, how could he send out flying soldiers again and give him an opportunity? Plunder more flying soldiers from his hands for his own use?
The cloud giant was not an easy person. Every time he sent troops, he had his own strategic intentions. It was not just harassment for the sake of harassment - he was luring the snake out of the hole.
Gavin and his extraordinary elite regiment were the targets he tried to eliminate.
It was a pity that every time he was one step behind, he was cracked by Gavin's reserved tricks.
After three attempts, he not only did not gain any results, but most of the bait he threw out was eaten.
The Cloud Giant had no choice but to retreat to the depths of the Thunder Peak Mountains and no longer attack easily.
Gavin also tried to poach the orc dragon cavalry in the Thunder Peak Mountains and instigate the Earth Crystal People.
But unfortunately, the cloud giants had long been prepared for his move. Both the orc dragon tribe and the Earth Crystal People's Crystal Cliff Tribe were shrouded in a powerful mist barrier, giving no chance for outsiders to enter.
Once the alarm was received, the cloud giants immediately led the gray snake dragon and the drow priestess out in full force.
After going around in circles, it actually returned to the top legendary confrontation. If there is no way to defeat the opponent at this level, it is difficult to gain too much advantage from the opponent.
The two sides are now evenly matched, and no one can eat the other in a short period of time.
The previous confrontation was also a process of mutual testing between the two sides.
Before they have mastered the strength to defeat the other side's legendary power, the two sides will not start a war easily.
Because the deterrent power of legendary power to ordinary people is too great, let alone those legendary spellcasters, even legendary warriors, it is easy to massacre towns and villages.
The most terrifying are the legendary professionals who have lost their territory and are not restrained. They can retaliate against the enemy without scruples, especially those with evil temperaments, who will not hesitate to pour this anger on ordinary people.
Only thieves can be thieves for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
This is the so-called legendary deterrence tactic.
Therefore, in Faerun, few forces begin to collapse from the bottom, and most of them start from losing all their legendary power.
This is also the reason why the Dragon Tribulation is regarded as the most serious crisis in the history of the Kingdom of Cormier, because their top three legendary masters all died in just a few years.
Both internal and external enemies have lost the greatest deterrence and are naturally ready to move.
The defeat of the Kingdom of Leatherman against the Tukan Army also started from the defeat of the legendary confrontation.
Among the Leatherman witches, there is no top master like Sazas who can withstand the ravages of Yamen Khan's killing power. In addition, the opponent has absolute military power, so they can only retreat again and again, using absolute natural barriers to make up for their own shortcomings.
