Chapter 510 Who is truly wealthy?

They have left Tethyr and gone deep into the Kingdom of Amn. They are less than a hundred kilometers away from Retavon, the largest city here. At the current speed, they can reach it in two days.

Previously, they had gathered a large migratory army in Darauma, which had already made it impossible for the entire city of Saradas to move eastwards.

Not to mention, they were heading straight towards Ritavin, killing heads along the way and wiping out all the monster races along the way.

It was nearly 100 kilometers away before Shwetawen sent troops to make contact. I don't know whether to say that they were confident or that they were slow to react.

At first, Gavin thought it was not the former, until a loud and long dragon roar came from the air, and a huge figure appeared in the sky in front of the Ritawen light cavalry. The Erd and the harpy kobolds were all hiding from Yuanji's body.

Shivering involuntarily - a giant dragon, an adult red dragon.

An adult red dragon is not scary to anyone. Its strength is almost the same as that of a young red dragon.

Is there a ranking among the giant dragon species? Take the five most famous colorful dragons as an example. They are generally arranged in the order of red dragon, blue dragon, green dragon, black dragon and red dragon.

The rankings of blue dragons, green dragons and black dragons are somewhat controversial. After all, their living environments and capabilities are very different. In particular, green dragons are good at conspiracy and conspiracy, while black dragons like to engage in secret ambushes and don't like direct conflicts.

But there is no dispute that the red dragon is ranked No. 1 and the red dragon is at the bottom. This is clearly shown in their body shape.

The red dragon will be medium-sized (the size of a cheetah) as soon as it hatches, while the red dragon will be small (the size of a puppy). In the same age group, the red dragon will definitely crush the red dragon.

What really puts distance between the two is IQ.

The intelligence of red dragons is not only that of chromatic dragons, it can be said to be the lowest among all true dragon species. The intelligence of a newborn red dragon is almost that of a wild beast, much lower than that of a kobold, and it has innate hunting ability and

Talent increases with age, and even in adulthood it is still the same as that of ordinary kobolds, and is far from reaching the level of normal people.

Although there is an example, most red dragons are not in that situation.

This means that the dragon species that has the most conflict with humans, red dragons, has been killed the most, but their numbers are still the largest.

Because of their low intelligence, red dragons will follow the breeding instincts of wild beasts. When they reach the teenage stage, they will mate and lay eggs, and they will succumb to the extreme environment where their dragon eggs are located (

cold), making them less likely to be disturbed or destroyed, and their innate talents often make them the most powerful hunters around. The red dragon is only as weak as the giant dragon, no matter how weak it is

Even if it is a giant dragon, it also has dragon breath. At least among wild beasts, it is invincible.

When their strength is limited and they are unable to cause harm to intelligent beings, they are very safe.

Once they think they are strong enough and are driven by the dragon's greedy desire to attack intelligent life and prepare to collect wealth, they are often slaughtered.

Before the Auling Soul Tower was opened, Gavin could kill a young red dragon and an adult red dragon, but he really didn't take them seriously.

But it would be a bit unusual if there was a person walking on its back, especially if that person was of huge size, it would be even more unusual.

That's a frost giant.

Before Gavin could take a closer look at the frost giant dragon knight, a man and a horse were already galloping from the formation of Ritavin's light cavalry. Gavin naturally could not neglect it and rushed to drive the horse to meet him. He was now riding

She is an ordinary war horse, not a half-moon colt. With the development and use of her unique abilities, she is often unable to follow Gavin and perform her duties as a walking horse.

The red horse, red robe, pointed wizard hat, snow-red staff held on his legs, snow-red hair and beard, and the wrinkles on his face not only did not weaken his charm, but gave him a color of wisdom.

After seeing the wrong person, Gavin almost blurted out, "My name is not Gandalf."

Of course, this person's name is not Gandalf, but Raymond, the ruler of Ritawen City and a quasi-legendary mage.

"Lord City Lord, please forgive them for coming uninvited." Gavin's attitude was sincere and friendly, "Please believe them, they are just passing by. There is absolutely no malice in them. If we are worried, they can change their route immediately.

, passing through at least a hundred kilometers away from Shwetawen, but given their current situation, the city lord should have seen it. Could they have built a road all the way from Darauma? If not, could they have built it directly to Shwetawen?

The commercial value of it, the city lord should not be unaware of."

His favorable impression of Ruitawen City did not come out of thin air.

That city now belongs to Amn, but ten years later, when there was no war, they voluntarily left Amn and joined the Kingdom of Tethyr.

There must be many reasons, including the struggle for power from outside Amn, the re-emergence of Tethyr, which has brought tremendous pressure to it, etc.

If there was a chance, Gavin would definitely want to facilitate this matter in advance.

Can it be a big city with a population of more than 100,000? Cities with such a large population are rare in the mainland, and most of them appear in coastal ports.

The main reason is that he is a heavy trade transit city. A trade line called the Weihong Road passes through this place. The line starts from the second largest port city of Amn, Mulan, and traverses the entire commercial empire of Ann.

The core hinterland of Mu, after the initial repairs in Ritavon, passed through the Snowflake Mountains, entered the coast of the Weihong Sea, crossed the entire Tumis, and finally arrived at the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars.

The 250-kilometer mountain road that crosses the Snowflake Mountains is the most dangerous section of the trade route. Regardless of whether they are preparing to cross the Snowflake Mountains eastward or the caravan travelers who have just crossed the Snowflake Mountains to the west,

Most will choose to stay in Ritavon for a few months to repair and supply supplies. The former will prepare for the upcoming frequent battles and wait for more caravans to move together, while the latter will replenish their consumption in the Snowflake Mountains.

A kind smile appeared on Raymond's face, "He thought Baron Gavin had misunderstood that they were not here to drive us away, but to escort us. He had already wanted to build a road to Darauma a long time ago.

However, most of that trade road is not in their territory, and there is no one in Tessel to cooperate. They have been thinking about it for many years, but we have completed it in less than ten months. We are afraid that if

It created the fastest road construction record in history and created an unprecedented road construction method."

"No, he underestimated the City Lord's capacity." Gavin said sincerely, "Based on the City Lord's capacity, no matter what, they would build the trade road for us to the east of Ruitawen City. If not,

As expected, the trade road will follow the Silminster Forest to the Giant Plains, and then cross here to reach Ivanso."

Since many things could no longer be hidden, Gavin simply made it clear to win more favor for himself.

"Okay, okay, okay." Raymond praised him profusely, "Baron, if extraordinary people do extraordinary things, if we really succeed in doing this, not only will Rita Wenqiu not be able to take advantage of it, but also the entire world."

The surrounding areas outside the mainland will be revitalized, and countless villages and towns will be built as a result."

"The Lord of the City is overly flattering and hopes that we will not waste the fruits of their labor. We can send people to the commercial road for further repairs. The drainage ditches on both sides are indispensable."

"Even if the Baron doesn't say it, they will do it."

Raymond is not that kind of academic mage who is rigid and doesn't know how to adapt.

His IQ and EQ are both online. When a quasi-legendary mage is not an experienced politician, it is a bit unusual.

It not only makes me feel like a spring breeze, but also allows me to achieve my goals silently, and at the same time I have enough confidence.

Raymond made Gavin see what it means to be truly wealthy.

He did bring three thousand Ritavin light cavalry, but the equipment they were equipped with was all standard magic equipment, with at least +1 magic level.

Among them are elven-style fish scale armor, beautiful riding bows, and unique swords. They are all standard equipment. All war horses are equipped with at least intermediate-level accelerating horseshoes.

Not to mention the professional level, if it is lower than level five, it would be too embarrassing to join such an army, at least half of them are half-elves.

Gavin pieced together the improvised Nott Guards Corps and the Sidecar Corps. Compared with them, they are almost like the Beggars Corps.

Even if it were the first heavy cavalry regiment of the Saradas family, in front of them, they were just a bunch of younger brothers.

Gavin was convinced that in a head-on confrontation, the heavy cavalry of the Saradas family would definitely be completely defeated.

Not to mention the kiting tactics that the light cavalry are best at, the heavy cavalry has no solution. Even if there is a head-on confrontation, they have to avoid the most ferocious front of the heavy cavalry. They will not be afraid of the melee in the east, because they are in

The armor's defensive capabilities are not much worse than those of heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry equipment of the Saladas family has reached the limit of mundane things. It is very magical in it, and it will change the nature of many things.

The defensive power of magic heavy armor is definitely higher than that of magic light armor, while non-magic heavy armor is slightly inferior, or equivalent to magic light armor.

Not to mention, hovering above the head of the light cavalry was a frost giant red dragon knight.

One of his dives can cause the heavy cavalry's charge to collapse.

The momentum of the adult dragon is so powerful that if you make a mistake with those professionals, you are very likely to miss a leg. If you make a mistake with those war horses, you will never fail if you make a mistake. Wherever it goes, they will all enter a state of trembling or panic.

Running around in a controlled manner.

Then add another shot of Ice Dragon's Breath, which can tear their formation apart instantly. At that time, it's time for the Ritavin Rangers to attack.

Whoever tries to use group attack spells and whoever tries to gather the army again will become the focus of the frost giant red dragon knights to attack the illusion.

In addition, there is a quasi-legendary mage peeking at the side.

After observing their configuration, anyone with a little bit of war experience can imagine that set of tactics, let alone the group of army builders.

Is this the path that the extraordinary army will pursue in the future?

With such an army at their side, let alone less than 20,000 civilian troops, even if 20,000 truly elite troops came to the east of the city, they would have nothing to fear.

That was the reason why Raymond allowed Gavin and the others to march straight in.

Because the migration road built by the migrating army, Ruitawen is indeed of great significance.

In fact, Shwetawen's situation is very similar to Zalanda's. Are they relying too heavily on the road to Hong Kong?

Once there are any problems on that road, the impact on them will be fatal.

Amn's six-member council will continue to pass through the neck of the trade road Karitawen and let them pay astronomical business taxes every year.

Ten years later, Reitavin took the initiative to fall into the arms of Tethyr. There was a fatal inducement, which was that the road to Weihun at Mulan, the terminal of Amn, was captured by a monster army led by an ogre wizard.

The six-member Council, caught up in an external struggle for power, would not be able to take back the city for a while.

In that case, Ritavin can find another way out. Tethyr, which has just completed its unification and is flourishing, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Gavin and Zalanda dared to build the road all the way without communicating with Ritawen in advance, but they were not sure about that.

Unexpectedly, Ritawen had such terrifying military strength, so things became easier to handle.
