I am a god in another world
Chapter 869 The Red Robe Mage Attacks
Gavin, who had been a mercenary for a long time in his previous life, knew their nature very well.
Their free and loose style of conduct is bound to be incompatible with the strict discipline of military standards.
Once they land in Teflam, most of them will form mercenary groups or battle teams, separated from the large army and act alone.
But their role cannot be underestimated.
Most of them are professionals, and their professional levels are not low. Many are good at special operations such as sneaking and assassination. They are usually very patient.
If you are targeted by them, you have to worry about hidden arrows fired at any time and anywhere. As long as those Tukan soldiers are left alone, their lives will be in danger.
As long as the troops are divided, there is a possibility that the entire team of 100 or 1,000 people will be taken away.
The entire Tukan army will be tied up and their spirits will be in a state of tension. Problems will definitely occur over time.
"This method of your commander is indeed very good. It can not only make full use of the value of these equipment, but also use it as capital to exchange for more equipment.
When the war is over and the equipment depreciates on a large scale in the Eastern Region, they will be sold to other areas where they are most needed to obtain the maximum value. "
"In this matter, we can ask the Verimunis to cooperate, select some sophisticated weapons, and give them to them for enchanting. This can not only ensure maximum benefits, but also improve the combat effectiveness of those mercenaries."
"I think this method is feasible."
"I agree."
Those Haslan witches not only agreed with Gavin's suggestion, but even went a step further and put forward better suggestions.
Verimoni is the name of the male spellcasters in the Leatherman Kingdom, and outsiders are also used to calling them elders. They usually have extremely long lifespans, which is usually related to their totem spirits.
The magic of Leatherman witches is not passed down from female to male. As long as they are Leathermans with magical talents, they will treat them equally and teach them magical knowledge.
However, there are problems with their magic knowledge system. These Leatherman witches can only specialize in the more violent side of the elements, which means that they are best at fighting and their success rate in creating magic items is greatly reduced.
The elder male spellcasters can only specialize in the gentle side of the elements. They have advantages that the Leatherman Witch cannot match in terms of making magic items and researching new spells. However, when it comes to fighting, they will have to compete with the Leatherman Witch. Totally different.
Even though many new spells were developed by them, their power is completely different in their own hands and in the hands of Witch Leatherman.
The gentle temperament of the element even influenced the elders, making them willing to stay behind the scenes and provide magical research and technical support to the Leatherman witches.
Over time, the world only knew Witch Leatherman, but not Elder Verimoni.
But their role in the Leatherman Kingdom cannot be ignored.
Without them, the combat effectiveness of both the Leatherman Witch and the Berserker would be greatly reduced.
Because of their long lifespan, the number of elders in Verimuni is much greater than what the world imagines.
In fact, the Leatherman Kingdom's ability to create magic items is not inferior to that of the Ser Kingdom, and it even has its own uniqueness.
However, limited by their philosophy, they still maintain the concept of self-sufficiency in magic items. They do not sell them to outsiders on a large scale like the Kingdom of Ser, and rush towards becoming the largest arms dealer in Faerun.
Gavin said with unconcealed surprise on his face: "If the elders are willing to take action, that would be great. Our operational space will be larger. Not only can we issue various war missions in this way, we can even Publish various collection tasks.
Collect various casting materials needed for enchantment for the elders.
If you are willing to cooperate for a long time, we can also follow the example of the red-robed mage and open magic concessions in other countries, cities and regions, and start trading magic items.
Making money is the second priority. The main purpose is to break the monopoly of the red-robed mages, reduce their external influence through the magic concession, and curb their development speed. "
The former belongs to Gavin's flash of inspiration, the war version of the mercenary hall.
The latter is part of his plan in the desperate Eastern Region, where he wants to obtain a stable and large source of magic items.
It is a long-term plan to build a magic academy and train magic apprentices.
The short-term plan is to cooperate with forces that have a large number of spellcasters and the ability to make magic items.
There are not many such options, and Leatherman Kingdom is one of them.
According to Gavin's original plan, he needed to propose it at the end of the war, after he had accumulated enough friendship with the Leatherman Kingdom.
I just didn't expect that he had accumulated enough money in the early stage of this life to be so deeply involved in the battle of Assen Lake, which made his reputation in the Leatherman Kingdom reach an unprecedented height in a short period of time.
Seeing that the topic was suitable, I brought it up.
"This is a good plan. In recent decades, those evil mages have extended their tentacles to all parts of the continent through their magic items. They are not as neutral as they promised. They have used magic concessions as a A springboard to interfere in the politics of various places, support those forces that favor them to come to power, and provide various preferential treatment for their business there.
People in many places have been deceived by their disguise, and they actually actively give their children to them and accept their slavery and oppression. "
"The large amount of wealth they plundered from other regions has further strengthened their own strength. This is why they have become more and more aggressive in recent years. They need to expand the area of their homeland to accommodate more people to support more magic industries.
I believe that as their magic concession business continues to develop, the more wealth they collect, the more aggressive they will become."
"The reason why their magic concession was opened so quickly is that they lack strong competitors in this regard and are in a monopoly position.
We lacked opportunities in the past and had no way to compete with them in this regard. Now that we have the opportunity, we can't give up and must reduce their profit margins in this regard."
"I agree to give it a try."
"I agree too."
Using the Kingdom of Sel as a seesaw is always the only way to persuade these Haslan witches.
They may not be interested in making money, but they are very interested in sniping red robe wizards.
For Gavin, no matter what reason they agree, as long as they are willing to let him operate, that's fine.
By then, the dominant power will be in his own hands. He doesn't have to open the magic concession next to the red-robed wizard. He can completely integrate it into the huge business network he is laying out.
"The sale of weapons and equipment can be carried out step by step, but the bodies of livestock and soldiers can't wait." The water spirit witch said with a worried look on her face, "It's okay now that it's cold and frozen. Once spring comes, the ice and snow will thaw and the temperature will rise. Such a large group of corpses will breed plague in the lake and pollute the entire water area.
Now various undead have begun to spawn on their own. If those red-robed wizards interfere again, it is very likely that the situation will get out of control."
In the multiverse, death is not the end, but the beginning of another form of life.
Especially this kind of abnormal and large-scale death is most likely to cause undead events.
Not to mention that in the previous war, various divine powers intervened, the elements were extremely chaotic, and the dream closely related to the shadow intervened in the city of Moshantir, and many souls and corpses were infected with a lot of negative energy.
It would be strange if there were no moths!
"Leave this to me." Gavin said in a big way, "I will send people to use the power of shadows to drag away the corpses of humanoid creatures. I just need the cooperation of Lord Shuiling to pull them out of the water."
In this regard, the undead power is absolutely professional.
As for the dragging task, Gavin does not need to do it himself. Those shadow wings and shadow priests who are infused with the power of undead can do it, especially the latter.
They are the same as the shadow wings, all of which are shadows that have been transformed into shadows. The only difference is that they are priests of the undead goddess of revenge, like Daphne. They are influenced by Gavin and fall into his arms to fight against the undead goddess of revenge Qi Yalan Sali together.
They are born as evil god priests, and their control of undead power is far beyond that of the shadow wings.
It's just that the number is relatively small, only a few dozen, and now they are Daphne's direct guards.
In a sense, these corpses are also a kind of wealth, especially those corpses that were powerful in life. Those necromancers are willing to pay a price to buy them.
However, this is a black deal, which is not allowed to be seen in the light, and few people will put it in the open.
Gavin only plans to drag these corpses back to Misnoel and seal them for use, and he is not going to sell them to the outside world. He has already spread out his business network, so he doesn't need this little money.
This kind of black deal is not good to say, and if people know about it, it will be very discredited, even if it is the corpses of foreigners and monsters.
"If the commander is willing to make a move, it would be great. I will send people to send them to the ice as soon as possible." The water spirit witch was overjoyed, and she wanted the other party to say this.
It is no secret that Gavin has the power of immortality. He has summoned the shadow army in front of them many times and used the war predator to steal souls.
In their eyes, this is a common operation and it is not worth making a fuss about.
In this world, there is no top spellcaster who does not involve souls, it is just a difference in depth.
Gavin suggested again: "As for the corpses of livestock, I suggest that some of them be used as military rations, and the remaining part should be used to build several large icehouses around Lake Asen, so that they can be kept frozen for a long time as reserve food. The shortage of food in the Eastern Region will be the norm within a few years, and we must make a long-term plan."
The number of livestock corpses in Lake Asen is not small. There are war horses, cattle, and sheep. The latter are the majority, with a number of more than one million. They are the main military rations of the Tukan people.
Without them, it won't be long before the Tukan army will fall into a food crisis.
"A large icehouse is a good idea." The water spirit witch was inspired, "It doesn't even need to be so troublesome. I will directly find a suitable place in Lake Asen to build an underwater icehouse, use the magic constant spell to keep the snow and rain storms constant, and freeze the surrounding waters together with the corpses of livestock on a large scale. When needed, we can dig down and take them."
Gavin agreed, "The icehouse I plan to build also uses this principle."
"In this way, most of the spoils of war will have their own way of dealing with them. For the remaining live animals, war horses are used as military supplies. I suggest that they be herded on a large scale in the Giant Valley and raised collectively. Cattle and sheep can be distributed in the form of war pensions, so that our people can save themselves and reduce the overall pressure."
"In addition to war pensions, we can also use work instead of relief. I believe that the reconstruction of Yimierma and Mulputan will require a large number of laborers, and the collective grazing of war horses will also require a large number of herders."
"This is indeed better than simple disaster relief. Let's proceed in this way."
The Haslan witches quickly talked about the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Leatherman from the treatment of spoils of war.
They seemed to be a little light on various infrastructures, which was far less important than the totem dream. Gavin couldn't interrupt for a while and decided to wait.
Wait until the totem dream is fully rolled out to see if there is any opportunity to intervene.
The lifestyle of the Leatherman Kingdom, which values spirit over material, was not developed overnight.
Starting from the material aspect, it will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.
But if we start from the totem dream, it may be twice as effective with half the effort, especially the idea of the ether train and ether tunnel. The Leatherman Kingdom has a natural mass base and is an excellent experimental site for Gavin.
The battle of Lake Asen had a profound impact on the Leatherman Kingdom. Not only did they cause the Tukan people to lose more than half of their troops, and their front was far less terrifying than before, but they also dealt a heavy blow to their old enemies.
The dark witch leader Dushan was exiled to the fear demiplane, and the two most powerful second-generation dark witches were imprisoned. The dark witch leadership suffered a fatal blow, leaving only a few second-generation dark witches and a group of insignificant third and fourth generations. They were no match for the previous two generations in terms of loyalty and strength.
Before receiving the corresponding news from the witch Dushan, they would certainly hide in the shadows again and dare not show their heads easily.
After settling their big accounts with the Harlans witches, Gavin privately calculated his own small accounts. He also gained a lot in this battle.
Most of his plans in the East Region of Despair have been completed.
The Great Valley is already in his pocket. As long as the personnel are in place, the new agricultural plan can be launched.
His reputation in the Kingdom of Leatherman has at least reached the respect stage. He is not just a person who can speak in the Harlan Witch Council, but can influence their decision-making to a certain extent. As long as the meeting is not too private, he can attend the meeting as an ally. He will cleverly turn some plans into the plans of the Witch Council, which will naturally be unimpeded.
Being able to rescue Felansini is an unexpected surprise. Finally, he has a heavyweight spellcaster by his side. This is a great treasure. A lot of things can be dug out from her.
For example, the legendary spell Leifber's Fabrication Maze that was cast in the nightmare dream before, as a city defense maze, is definitely more powerful than the Nine Rings Mist Boundary.
Needless to say, Gavin still needs to use it in many places.
For example, whether her Netheril magic book, the Volume of Iorum, contains other powerful Netheril arcanes.
These things need to be done step by step, using various methods to lure and impress her, so that she can take them out on her own initiative.
Then there is the harvest of souls.
Although he went to the nightmare dream of the witch Dushan to rescue the earth spirit witch, the war predator still stayed at the gap of the Ice Wall, continuing to implement the previous tactic of surrounding three and missing one, luring those Tukan people to attack actively.
This deadly trap made a lot of money for him. In addition to the number of crouching night shadows increasing to twelve, the ordinary souls earned more than 50,000, which was enough to make up for the immortal divinity he invested in the war predator.
This is also the reason why he dared to take on the task of cleaning up the corpses in Lake Asen.
But he still underestimated the resentment gathered in such a large-scale war, and also underestimated the timing of the red robe wizards in the Kingdom of Sel.
On the second night after the Tukan people's battle across the lake, the battlefield had just been cleaned up, and the Kingdom of Sel declared war on the Kingdom of Leatherman without declaring war.
The ace skeleton army that had been gathering in Xuesel Province came out in full force, densely covering the entire surface of Lake Moshantir, and rushed towards the city of Moshantir. The number seemed to exceed that of the Tukan army.
The first to take action were the necromancers of the first mage system of the Kingdom of Sel. They were directly teleported to the sky above the battlefield of Lake Asen, and cast various necromancy spells unscrupulously.
The result can be imagined. There was already resentment here, and negative energy was highly concentrated.
This directly attached their necromancy spells with the effect of the spell's extreme effect, and the power was exerted to the extreme.
Countless vengeful spirits danced wildly on the ice of Lake Asen, countless zombies struggled in the ice, and a large number of corpses in the lake opened their eyes, which were filled with endless black light, and began to brutally attack all living things around them.
Due to the special nature of the battlefield, at least half of the bodies in the Asen Lake battlefield were either frozen in the ice or sunk to the bottom of the lake. The one-meter-thick ice surface became their shackles, firmly restricting them.
The spirits were not subject to such restrictions.
It was just that the number of spirits was pitifully small.
This was a battlefield where both sides had divine power involved.
Most of the souls were either plundered by Gavin's war plunderers or became part of Yamen Khan's killing power.
To summon a spirit from a corpse, there is a basic premise, that is, the soul is still in the body, or still in the Shadow Underworld, and has not been judged, gone to the kingdom of the gods or reincarnated.
No matter which situation occurs, it is impossible to transform into a spirit.
Those corpses that have died of old age or have been blessed by the priests of good gods cannot be transformed into spirits.
Only those who died unjustly have a chance to become spirits.
The incorporeal spirits that appeared on the battlefield of Lake Asen were either summoned directly by these necromancers with spells, or they were fish that slipped through the net.
Like Gavin's war plunderer, Yamen Khan is not a real god, but a thief of killing power. There is a distance limit for soul harvesting.
If he was in Lake Asen, he would be able to cover the entire battlefield under his influence.
But when he was forced to follow the Haslan witches and shift his attention to the city of Moshantir, the subsequent war was beyond his coverage.
By that time, the intensity of the war had been greatly reduced, the death toll was relatively limited, and was distributed across a long front.
