I am a god in another world
Chapter 792: Taking Action Upon Hearing the News
"Don't worry about this, Chief. I have a special way to deal with it. You just need to help me collect vehicles. The more the better." Gavin didn't explain much.
Because it is difficult for ordinary people to believe their professional ability in road construction without seeing it with their own eyes.
The roads in Faerun are generally bad, not only on the west coast of the Fallen Star Sea, but also in the East Region of Despair, including the Golden Road, which is said to flow with gold.
How could Gavin, who is good at calculating, not be unprepared?
His dog-headed road construction team is on the way and will arrive tomorrow.
"We will do our best." Duis patted his chest and promised.
For the Sword Brotherhood, which has controlled the city of Usmer for many years, this matter is a piece of cake. Not to mention hiring them, even if they are forcibly requisitioned, the owners of those trucks dare not say a word.
"Thank you for taking care of the warehouse and loading and unloading matters, Chief." Gavin said with a smile, "As for the commissions for the loading and unloading personnel..."
"Of course, they will be exempted." Chief Jian Ci was a good man to the end, "From now on, our brotherhood will protect all military supplies related to the war of resistance and exempt all commissions. In order to further express our sincerity, our brotherhood will donate ten tons of sea salt and ten tons of salted fish as supplies to support the front line."
"Okay." Gavin gave Duis a thumbs up and said, "The chief is generous enough, and I can't fall behind. When rebuilding the Hongdao, I will pave the roads in your Usmer City together."
He didn't care whether the other party was really generous or just showing off, and he started to promote his road construction business. Anyway, if he wanted to transport his grain from here, he had to build roads.
"Thank you." Like other people who heard for the first time that Gavin was going to pave roads for them, the reaction of the chief of the Jian Ci brotherhood was very cold.
Because in his mind, the so-called road paving is to fill the potholes. When it rains heavily, the trucks loaded with goods will press on them, and it will return to its original state in a short time.
After negotiating the cooperation project with the Sword Brotherhood, Gavin turned his eyes to the Fang leader of the Leatherman people, "Chief Patlem, this matter also cannot be separated from your assistance."
"If there is anything we can do, please tell me, Commander." The Fang leader is now respectful to Gavin, because once the other party's food is transported to the front line, it will be the benefactor of the entire Leatherman Kingdom.
"I need your help to contact the high-level officials of your kingdom and inform them of the situation here. If possible, ask them to send an army to escort us.
Although we are now in the rear, in order to defeat you, the evil red-robed wizards of Sel firmly stand on the side of Tukan's invaders. Their eyes are all over Faerun, and there is no way to hide from their eyes.
They are likely to send spies or small elite troops to sneak over and try to destroy our food."
Once the food is on the shore, Gavin cannot leave easily to prevent various accidents. In this magical world, there are too many ways to destroy food.
"That's natural. I will go there in person." Patram nodded seriously.
"Then trouble the leader." Gavin thanked.
"This is what I should do."
With common interests, the three-party talks went very smoothly. No one mentioned the previous dock fight, as if it had never happened.
With everyone doing their own thing, the whole thing became extremely smooth and efficient.
In just one day, the Sword Brotherhood collected nearly 400 trucks for Gavin. As expected, there were very few heavy trucks, and most of them were light trucks.
With nearly a thousand dock loaders taking turns, in just one day and one night, 5,000 tons of grain were all loaded and unloaded into the warehouse provided by the Sword Brotherhood for storage.
The news of the arrival of a large amount of grain spread throughout the entire East Region of Despair as if it had wings, causing ripples in the war that was originally in a stalemate.
...
Kronte.
This is a border city.
It is located at the intersection of the Giant Valley, the Kingdom of Sesk and the Kingdom of Leatherman.
Normally, this is a place that must be fought for by military strategists, but the three countries where he is located are not particularly aggressive.
Therefore, in the past, its trade role was far greater than its military role, and the trade here was very prosperous.
In the past, the Nafir barbarians in the north, the residents of the Giant Valley, the berserkers of the Leatherman people and the merchants of Sesk would often gather here to exchange what they had.
Now, this place has become a huge barracks, with a row of Leatherman short tents, which are endless. There are not only noisy human voices, but also a lot of beast roars.
The Leatherman people used this as a gathering place to regroup their troops and form a second line of defense based on Lake Asen.
Those who have not been to the Kingdom of Leatherman in person cannot imagine how complex the terrain here is.
This kingdom is not only mountainous, but also watery.
Its entire east side is surrounded by the tall Sunrise Mountains, while the west and south sides are surrounded by the connected Lake Asen and Lake Moshantir. Only the north side has a relatively flat northern highland connected to the endless wilderness. It is from this direction that the Tukan army broke into the territory of the Leatherman Kingdom.
Now the Kingdom of Leatherman and the Tukan army are facing each other on two fronts.
The first line is here. The army of the Kingdom of Leatherman is stationed in Kronte, while the main force of the Tukan army is gathered in the capital of the Kingdom of Leatherman, Imilma.
The other line is Moshantiel.
The Kingdom of Leatherman abandoned only the north and the middle, which were not easy to defend, but the southern Moshantiel was still firmly in their hands.
Although this is inland, it is sandwiched by three lakes and one river to form a huge peninsula.
The Tukan people who have captured Leatherman Castle can march straight in and attack Moshantiel City directly, but under the strong advice of their ally Sel, they have not done so yet.
The Kingdom of Sel and the Kingdom of Leatherman face each other across the lake. For a long time, the Moshantiel Peninsula, headed by Moshantiel City, has been the focus of their competition. Their army has attacked the Moshantiel Peninsula no less than five times and besieged Moshantiel City, but each time they returned in defeat.
It has been repeatedly strengthened by the Leatherman witches with various spells for hundreds of years, becoming extremely solid. It has many magical effects.
The most important thing is that the Leatherman Kingdom has maintained a strong inland navy in Lake Asen and Lake Moshantyr, which can transport troops quickly.
Before dealing with this navy, sending their own army to the Moshantyr Peninsula to besiege Moshantyr City is equivalent to actively sending them into a desperate situation. The Leatherman Kingdom can easily send its Berserker Corps reinforcements to various locations to launch harassment, so that they cannot attack Moshantyr City freely.
When the siege army falls into weakness, the defenders of Moshantyr City will come out in full force and attack from both inside and outside with the reinforcements. No one can withstand the front and back attacks of the two Leatherman Berserker Corps, including the skeleton corps of Sel who do not know what fear is, let alone those intelligent creatures.
The Tukan people did not have any navy, and most of them were landlubbers who could not swim. The entire army was blocked in the east and had no way to move west. Naturally, they had no way to take the Moshantir Peninsula.
They could only send out a 50,000-man detachment to contain them, so that the Berserker Corps stationed in Moshantir City could not support the main force in the north.
Then wait for the natural power to take effect. Once the entire Asen Lake and Moshantir Lake were completely frozen, not only would the Tukan army be able to pass through collectively, but the inland fleet of the Leatherman Kingdom would also be trapped and unable to exert its combat effectiveness.
In the center of the huge tent camp of Kronte, an emergency meeting was being held in a luxurious tent.
The seats here were arranged in a circle. Sitting at the bottom was a male Leatherman. He had the most typical Leatherman plateau red skin, black hair and brown eyes, but his height was not very Leatherman. Even if he sat on the iron throne, he was taller than most Leathermen. I believe that when he stood up, he would definitely be as majestic as a brown bear.
He is the current Great Heron Seidrin Ilva of the Leatherman people, also known as the Iron King.
Strictly speaking, the Iron King is just a title. His role in the Kingdom of Leatherman is more like a military commander. He is mainly responsible for commanding the Berserker Corps of the Kingdom of Leatherman, keeping the roads in the country smooth, the borders safe, and minimizing the number of dangerous monsters.
He has neither the right to decide policies nor the right to designate the next Iron King. He is elected by the Witch Council of Viklaran, that is, the Witch Council of Leatherman, from the candidates recommended by witches.
The witches are responsible for assisting and protecting the Iron King, and they also have the right to dismiss him at will, usually when he is seriously derelict in his duties.
Sitting at the top are eight women, who are dressed in a very uniform way, all of them are sky blue long skirts with bright red composite skirts, which set off their figures very gracefully.
Unfortunately, there is no way to see their real faces. They all wear white faceless masks, revealing only a pair of pupils. The top of the mask is inlaid with exquisite feathers, which makes them exude a kind of speechless wildness.
Even Seidlin, the Iron King, can only distinguish them by their height and body shape, as well as the color of the feathers on the mask. He does not know their true identity. They may be his wife, daughter, elders, or even his maids.
The identity of the Leatherman witch is highly confidential even to the sisters who are also members of the Witch Council, let alone ordinary people.
When the Leatherman Kingdom was just founded, the Leatherman witch did not wear a mask and did not hide her identity from her citizens.
Until a thousand years ago, a berserker named Bragg, nicknamed "The Strong One", appeared in the Leatherman Kingdom. With his powerful force, he gained a large number of Leatherman berserker followers. After the death of the former Iron King, he asked the Leatherman Witch Council to appoint him as the new Iron King.
Rejected by the Leatherman Witch Council on the grounds of evil and brutality, Bragg led his followers to launch a ruthless massacre of the Leatherman witches, and a large number of Leatherman witches died unexpectedly.
After Bragg's rebellion was crushed, the Leatherman witches decided to use masks to hide their true identities to prevent being targeted by the enemy.
It turned out that this method was effective.
They were not wearing ordinary masks, but totem masks, which were attached with powerful totem power. Not only could they block the magic of detecting prophecy, but they could even greatly adjust the body shape of the user. When you try to track down their true identities based on the body shape they show, you often fall into a trap.
Since then, the number of Leatherman witches being assassinated and killed by enemies has been greatly reduced. Instead, they can use their true identities to obtain a large amount of information that cannot be obtained as witches, which has made successive Iron Kings work hard and dare not slack off. .
"What do you think of the news coming back from Uxmail City?"
"This should be true. The transport fleet from the Kingdom of Cormyr has hundreds of large battleships and transport ships. Only a small part went to Usmail City, and most of them docked at Tevlan in Sesk. "Hum, not only are there a large amount of military supplies, but also a group of three thousand Purple Dragon Knights, all of whom are elites with five professional levels or above."
"I believe it is no longer a secret that the Khan of the Tukan people is the son of the murderous god Baal, the murder god. This Tukan invasion is no longer a simple mortal war, but involves a struggle for divine power. Even the Zhentarim are An orc army has been sent to support us, not to mention those good forces. As long as we persist for a while, we will no longer be alone. "
"Commander Gavin of Usmail City is indeed a real person. He has a good reputation in the Hartlind area. With his own strength, he led 100,000 troops and horses to move more than 3,000 kilometers. He was in many places. Stirring up wars, he was appreciated by Ms. Strategy and promoted to a chosen one. He definitely wanted to take the opportunity to expand the influence of this new god of war in the countries of the Eastern Region. For her, there is nothing more important than war. Better opportunities for expansion.”
"This new god of war wants to expand his influence, which does not conflict with our interests. After all, the ultimate result pursued by both parties is the victory of the war."
"No matter what purpose the other party came with, the large amount of food he brought is indeed what we need most at the moment. If it can be transported safely, it will effectively reduce our logistical supply pressure. Judging from the current situation, we There will be a stalemate for a long time.”
"Those Tukan and Sel's red-robed mages, I'm afraid they won't let this food be transported easily!"
"This is the shrewdness of this Goddess of Strategy elector. He avoided the easier golden road of Sesk and chose the Great Valley Road just to avoid the harassment of the enemy, whether it was Serge's monster soldiers or None of Tukan's rangers can harass them."
"If you take the grand road of Jugu, you really don't need to worry about the small groups of ground troops infiltrated by the enemy. But you have personally experienced the strength of the Tukan Eagle Knights. Once a large-scale attack is launched, it will be difficult for the opponent to resist."
"This is indeed a huge threat. The Tukan Eagle Knight has been quite frequent in the Lesile Forest recently, attacking and killing every human being encountered along the way. Whether it is the residents of the giant valley or our people, they are now forced to I had to retreat into the forest for a while.”
"This might not be an opportunity."
"you mean!"
"We can use these grains as bait to lure the Tukan people to send out a large number of Eagle Knights. We will concentrate our superior flying forces to ambush them and try to hit them hard. In this way, the next battle will be much easier to fight."
"This is indeed a tactic that kills multiple birds with one stone, but it must be carefully planned, not only to severely damage the opponent's Eagle Cavalry Regiment, but also to ensure food security."
"This is inevitable. It is not difficult to do. It is easy for the Tukan Eagle Knight to find targets in the air, but it is difficult to determine the information on the ground."
"Don't be careless. Don't forget that they are also helped by Ser's group of evil red-robed mages. Their spies and spies are pervasive."
"This plan requires the other party's precise cooperation. We must send an envoy to get in touch with Commander Gavin."
"I would like to go there myself."
"Sister Akabane is the best among us at the transformation of birds. Her eagles have always been one of our main forces in air combat. It is most suitable for her to take the lead."
"I agree."
"I agree."
The eight Leatherman witch councilors quickly exchanged opinions and quickly reached a consensus. Not only were they extremely interested in this batch of food, they were also prepared to make a fuss about this batch of food and prepare to set traps for the Tukan flying troops. Prepare to chop off their eyes.
…
The Leatherman Kingdom was not the only one who heard the news. The Tukan people responded immediately. Thousands of Tukan Eagle Knights, like dark clouds, rose into the sky from the Tukan army, accompanied by countless clear and loud eagle calls. Like a huge dark cloud, they quickly drifted across Lake Asen. After hovering around Leatherman's army unscrupulously for a while, they entered the giant valley in a mighty manner.
The Leatherman Berserkers were all angry and yelled, but there was nothing they could do.
In this regard, the Tukan people have an absolute advantage. They seem to have gathered all the Tukan Eagle Knights in the endless wilderness.
Although the Leatherman Kingdom also has its own flying spirit berserker cavalry, there is no way to compare with the Tukan people in terms of numbers. It can only rely on the birds controlled by the Leatherman Witch, coupled with the powerful spellcasting ability of the Leatherman Witch. , only then dare to confront them.
This is doomed to them that they can only rely on defense in the military formation like they did with Tukan's army, and do not dare to take the initiative easily. Once their air force is severely damaged, many aspects will be passive in the subsequent war.
They could only let Tukan's Eagle Knights ravage the great valley behind them.
However, the current Giant Valley is almost an empty valley. The residents here have a close relationship with nature and have extraordinary ability to survive in the forest. Not long after the first attack by the Tukan Eagle Knights, they disappeared into the depths of the dense forest with their property.
This is the usual way for the residents of the Giant Valley to survive.
The city of Usmer, 500 kilometers away, is the only city exposed outside the forest.
