I am a god in another world

Desperate East.

This is the collective name given by people living in the Heartland area, west of the Falling Star Sea, to the countries on the east coast of the Falling Star Sea.

For the people here, the Far East is mysterious and exotic, a capricious area full of dangerous magic and unknown wealth.

Desperate refers to the difficult journey from Heartland to here. Although there is land connecting the two, it is an impossible task for ordinary people. In the north, you need to cross countless mountains and ridges, and in the south, you need to cross countless ancient empires ruled by powerful foreign gods.

The most convenient way is to cross the entire Falling Star Sea by boat, but there are countless pirates wreaking havoc on the water, and there are ancient aquatic creature empires and countless terrifying monsters lurking under the water. Every time the ship leaves the shore, it is a gamble with life.

Unless you are lucky enough to board a large fleet like the Cormier Kingdom's grain transport fleet, even if you know that it is full of expensive military supplies, the pirates dare not easily provoke it. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Even if you succeed by chance and rob a cargo ship, you will have to face the crazy revenge of the Cormier Kingdom afterwards, which is not worth the loss.

Even if you encounter bad weather, as long as it is not a devastating disaster, such as a hurricane or tsunami, the extraordinary battle wizards on board can work together to minimize the damage, not limited to using weather manipulation to suppress the power of natural disasters.

Prophecy and long-distance peeping spells can peek before the disaster arrives and lead the fleet to avoid it in advance.

Spells such as manipulating wind elements can help the fleet accelerate and get rid of some dangers.

Therefore, the transport fleet departing from the Cormier Kingdom has the same number of ships when it leaves the port as when it arrives, without any additional losses.

Gavin and his people were willing to cooperate even though they took half of the profits without spending a penny in the Kingdom of Cormier. There was a reason for that.

The only difference between the two sides was the location of grain unloading.

The Kingdom of Cormier wanted to unload grain on a large scale in Tevram in Cesk. After all, the Feren coalition forces that were gathering in the Kingdom of Cormier were invited by the Kingdom of Cesk, and this would be the main direction for them to intercept the Tukan nomadic army.

The military supplies they transported were only sold in one aspect, and the most important thing was to prepare for the coalition forces that would arrive later.

Gavin insisted on unloading most of the military supplies in Usmer in the Giant Valley, because he knew how fierce the Tukan nomadic people were, especially in the early stage. A little bit of unexpected factors could affect the development of the entire situation.

Due to his own reasons, the Kingdom of Cormier was particularly well prepared for military supplies this time. Not to mention all kinds of equipment, the first batch of food alone was more than 10,000 tons, enough for a 100,000-man army for three months.

If we only talk about the price, the more than 10,000 tons of food are not too expensive. They bought it at 1.1 silver coin per kilogram. Even at the front line, the market price has risen tenfold to a terrifying 1 gold coin per kilogram, which is only more than 10 million gold coins.

But this is a necessity for the army. Once it is lost, it will be difficult for the Furen coalition to gain a foothold in Cesk. Once it is defeated, the consequences will be disastrous.

They are far away from their homeland and are blocked by the Falling Star Sea. It is not easy for them to withdraw on a large scale.

Gavin did not teleport directly to the Cormier fleet to argue with the fleet commander.

Although he and the merchants purchased military supplies, he could not command the Cormier fleet.

He went directly to the Kingdom of Cormier to negotiate with King Yasan. As long as he was convinced, the rest was just a royal order.

There is nothing in Furen. The generals are not subject to military orders when they are away from home.

It is really common for those kings to be in the palace one second and appear in the commander's tent the next second.

After listening to Gavin's statement patiently, King Yasan asked meaningfully, "How can you be sure that this is not what we want?"

"Intentional?" Gavin asked back in surprise, his brain began to turn rapidly, trying to understand the other party's true intention.

Knowing that there is a risk of being attacked, they still do this, which means that the Kingdom of Cormier intends to use this batch of food as bait to attract the attention of the Tukan nomadic army. Even if they don't attract their main force, they must attract part of their troops.

What is the reason for King Yasan to do this?

To stimulate the Tukan nomadic army and make them determined to cross the river when all aspects are not particularly favorable to them?

Or to lure them, let them split up their troops, and then go deep into the river alone to facilitate their defeat?

However, the Furen coalition has just completed its assembly and has not left the Kingdom of Cormier and set out on the journey to Cesk.

Although if necessary, it can be used at a high cost and a large number of teleportation spells can be used to teleport some elite troops first, but with the national strength of the Kingdom of Cormier, it can only support a few thousand people at most, and don't even think about tens of thousands of people.

Facing the Tukan nomadic army with tens of thousands of troops, the disadvantage in manpower is too great.

Tactics are not omnipotent. Any effective tactics are based on a certain strength. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be eaten by the enemy.

Gavin asked with a heavy face: "Has the situation on the front line collapsed to this extent? Your Majesty has to take such a risky move?"

"As expected of the Lady of Strategy's chosen one, you have extraordinary insight into the war. With just one sentence from me, you can predict the collapse of the overall situation."

King Yasan looked at Gavin with undisguised admiration, "The war situation in the East Territory of Despair is worse than the rumors outside.

For their own benefit, Sel's group of evil red-robed wizards sold the entire East Territory of Despair. Not only did they provide a large amount of food and slaves to the Tukan people, they even took the initiative to provide a large number of magic scrolls and wands.

This greatly weakened the original magic advantage of the Leatherman Kingdom. Now the whole situation is extremely unfavorable to the Leatherman Kingdom. Once the temperature drops sharply one day, the Asen Lake, the natural defense line that the Leatherman Kingdom now relies on, will be frozen over a large area, and it will also It will be the moment when the Tukan people will join forces inside and outside to cross the river.

Once the Tukan army breaks through the defense line of Lake Asen, neither Cesk nor the Great Valley can defend themselves. Even if we gather all the elite troops of Faerun, the chance of winning is very slim.

Before the arrival of the coalition forces, we must do our best to ensure that the main force of the Kingdom of Leatherman is not defeated. Even if the defense line of Lake Asen is broken, the Berserker Corps of the Kingdom of Leatherman can effectively contain the Tukan people. They dare not attack with all their forces, and must leave some troops to defend the Kingdom of Leatherman to ensure their retreat. "

With Gavin, King Yasan did not hide anything, but directly analyzed the overall war situation in the East Region of Despair.

For this young man, even the old dragon did not dare to underestimate him, especially the dazzling war performance of the Conqueror Army led by him along the way.

That series of exquisite tactical applications cannot be explained by a lady of strategy elect, but he himself has a unique ability in this regard.

The identity of the elect of the gods has never been to provide timely assistance and make up for the shortcomings of those stupid people.

On the contrary, they will only add icing on the cake and crown those who are truly worthy of the name.

The elect of Bane, the god of tyranny, is definitely not a peace-loving person.

And the elect of the goddess of magic Mystra cannot be a berserker who only knows how to wield weapons.

"Your Majesty's analysis is very reasonable. The berserkers led by the witches of the Kingdom of Leatherman are indeed an important force against the Tucans. We must find ways to preserve them."

Gavin highly agrees with King Yasan's analysis of the war situation.

He is familiar with the direction of history and deeply knows how great the role of the Kingdom of Leatherman in fighting against the invasion of the Tucans is.

Not only did they use their geographical advantages to hold back the Tukans for two months, winning precious time for the Furen coalition to gather, but they also severely damaged the Tukans who tried to force their way across Lake Asen in the battle of the Fallen Tear Lake, destroying nearly a quarter of their troops, laying the most solid foundation for the victory of the Furen coalition later.

It was precisely because he knew the final outcome of the war that Gavin had always been unhurried in dealing with the invasion of the Tukans, always feeling that he had a sure win.

But when the time really came, especially a few days ago, after he personally teleported to the East Territory of Despair to learn about the war situation, he found that he had taken it for granted.

War is not simple, especially this unprecedented battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops, which is even more ruthless.

Any additional factor may lead to a deviation in the final direction of this war.

And he himself is the biggest additional factor.

He can change bad fate, and he can also change good fate.

According to this inference, if you want to avoid changing history, the easiest way is to not intervene and let it develop on its own.

But this is impossible. Let's not talk about how much manpower and material resources I have invested in this. This is such a good opportunity to further expand my influence.

Who can ensure that everything will develop according to the history I know?

Once the collapse occurs, it will be geometrically difficult for me to save the world.

What I have to do this time is to follow the trend of the times and ensure that everything develops in the direction of my memory, and by the way, to seek greater benefits for myself.

There is just one embarrassing thing. At this time in my previous life, Gavin was still a slave in the Zhentarim Society, fighting for his own survival, and he didn't even have the qualifications to participate in this war as cannon fodder.

In addition to the several major historical events that I heard about later, the specific understanding is very limited. I don't know the time of the decisive battle between the Furen coalition and the Tukan army, nor the detailed battle situation in the middle, and I don't know whether the Kingdom of Yasan adopted this tactic of luring the enemy to distract the attention of the Tukan people in the early stage.

If I now persuade King Yasan to change his mind, will it be the first step to change history?

But I and those merchants went there with so many military supplies for our own strategic purpose, in order to gain more benefits, not to use them as bait.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Gavin gave a compromise suggestion, "In fact, my plan to transport military supplies to the Giant Valley Usmer coincides with your majesty's.

It's just that your majesty wants to use these grains as bait to find a suitable opportunity to fight and relieve the pressure on the Kingdom of Leatherman.

And I want to use these grains to rescue the refugees in the Kingdom of Leatherman, help them stabilize the rear, and facilitate the soldiers in the front to fight better.

How about we work on both sides and unload 5,000 tons of grain each in Usmail and Teflam. I believe that for those Tukan people, there is not much difference between 5,000 tons and 10,000 tons. line layout, further distracting their efforts. "

Although the Leatherman Kingdom's land area is small and its population is only one million, its folk customs are notoriously tough. This can be seen from the fact that they can single-handedly block the expansion of Serge's red-robed mage to the north. come out.

It's just that this country's folk customs are relatively isolated and exclusive. Not many countries have established diplomatic ties with it, and it's rare to see their people leaving their own land to travel to other parts of Faerûn.

This large-scale invasion by the Tukan nomads is rare. Gavin will certainly not miss the opportunity to establish friendly relations with them. He wants to clear the way with food.

"Your idea is very good." King Yasan nodded involuntarily, "We have always known little about the Leatherman Kingdom. Even at a critical moment of life and death, they were resisting on their own and did not tell the outside world at all. It means asking for help.

If it weren't for the businessmen in Cesk, our time to intervene in this war would have been delayed.

We really need to establish a good relationship with the coalition forces before they arrive to facilitate subsequent coordinated operations.

But this is not an easy task. The Great Valley is a rare Druid government. Although the residents there are mainly humans, their temperament is biased towards the elves. They are very exclusive. Many villages are hidden in the forest. .

In order to avoid the harassment of Tukan's flying cavalry, most of the Leathermen who retreated here hid in the dense forest. It was very difficult to establish contact, and they also needed to face the threat of harassment from a large number of Tukan's Eagle Knights. "

"I know." Gavin said confidently, "So, I am going to the Giant Valley myself. I think I have accumulated certain experience and advantages in dealing with these natural people.

If possible, I will not only unite the Leathermen there, but also unite the natural forces as much as possible to let them stand on our side. Relying on the forest, they have advantages that we do not have. "

"Since the general is personally taking action, there will definitely be no problem." King Yasan laughed and said, "Okay, just follow what the general said, a two-pronged approach, leave the direction of Jugu to the general, and leave the direction of Cesk to us. , I have transported three thousand elites there and formed a vanguard army there. The commander is Yalusel. If you need it, you can contact her and she will try her best to cooperate with you. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gavin thanked him while secretly cursing the old fox.

Until this moment, he suddenly understood that he had fallen into the trap of King Asan.

The opponent has clearly formulated a two-pronged strategy and tactics, but in the direction of Jugu, there is a lack of suitable executors.

The idea came to him, whether it was the large number of natural races he carried in the conqueror's army, or in the King's Forest, helping the Kingdom of Cormyr and the Dryad Kingdom Aroshi to establish good diplomacy, he showed his ability in The extraordinary influence among natural forces is definitely the best choice for dealing with this natural force.

But in a strict sense, he does not yet belong to the Kingdom of Cormyr, and King Yasan does not have the right to dispatch himself.

Therefore, he used the grain unloading point as bait to fish himself to Susar and took the initiative to undertake this task.

Since everyone got what they wanted, Gavin pretended to be confused and didn't get into too much trouble with King Asan.

The two sides then exchanged more intelligence and views on the war situation in the desperate Eastern Region, and after finalizing several subsequent cooperation details, Gavin said goodbye to King Asan and headed directly to the Giant Valley.

This is the benefit of power. You don't need to run the map yourself. You only need people from the destination to assist in precise positioning. Even if you have never been to the destination, you can still teleport.

Giant Valley.

Don’t be misled by the name, it is not sandwiched between two huge mountains, but a narrow strip of land located between two ancient forests - Rollins Forest and Raisle Forest.

Not just a handful, this is the only Druid system in Faerûn.

The druids dominate here.

The biggest feeling given to Gavin by this political system is that it is original.

He originally thought that the government system in the valley was rotten enough and governed by inaction. Compared with the giant valley, it would pale into insignificance.

Even the grand commercial road that runs through the entire giant valley is nothing more than a dirt road, let alone those rural roads.

Uxmail is the only place in the entire valley that can be called a town.

But it was not established by the Giant Valley people themselves, but by immigrants from Imbutu, Damara and Cesk. It was used by those merchants as a springboard to enter the Giant Valley and was the only port in and out of the Giant Valley from the sea. .

Now there are a large number of new residents here. These people are dark and short, but strong and strong. There is a hint of unruliness in their temperament. Even the difficult situation of being displaced from their hometown has not changed this.

These people are war refugees from the Kingdom of Leatherman.

Faced with the collusion between the Tukan and Ser people, the ruler of the Leatherman Kingdom had to make the decision to abandon most of its land and evacuate hundreds of thousands of Leathermen into the giant valley.

The successful implementation of this strategy and tactics has a lot to do with the life and customs of the Leatherman Kingdom itself.

The latitude of the Kingdom of Leatherman is further north than the valley. The summer here is very short, but the winter is very long and extremely cold. The land is mainly rugged plateau mountains.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Kingdom of Leatherman is very primitive, with few civilized areas. The roads are not much better than muddy land, and there are almost no houses. They either live in narrow tents, caves in hills or caves covered with earth.

They have only a few large cities, and most residents live a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic life in tribes. Many Leatherman people have the habit of driving livestock across Lake Asen and spending the winter in the giant valley when winter comes.

Compared with the mountains covered with heavy snow, the giant valley full of fallen leaves is easier to find food for their livestock.

It’s just that the scale of this time is larger and more hasty than any previous time, and many Leatherman families were forced to abandon the livestock they depended on for the winter.

When they could no longer survive the coming winter with their old lifestyle, many Leathermen had to continue to move eastward to cities like Usmer to see if they could find a job to survive this difficult winter.

Thanks to the leader of the Hundred Years of Soy Sauce Brothers. I didn't expect that the brothers were people who kept their promises. More than a month has passed, and I thought I had forgotten about it long ago!

I should have updated it, but unfortunately I'm not in good shape recently. It's not just because my body needs to be adjusted, but mainly because I can't get into the writing state. I can barely maintain 5,000 words!

This has nothing to do with perseverance!

I can only update one chapter to show my appreciation, and I will find a way to compensate later! Please forgive me!
