"Furthermore, I have calculated it before. If it were left to them, the cost of paving the trade road leading to Darauma alone would be as high as five million, let alone leading to Ivanso. There would be no one thousand

Wan, Juecuo can’t get anything out of it. Compared with the business that can make money, what is the little potential business tax loss they have now?”

"He understands the truth." Chief Financial Officer Kaden couldn't help but sigh, "But seeing the money that should have flowed to his own pocket diverted into their pockets, he always felt distressed. Now he has thought of a way to recover some of it.

The method of loss…”

"Do you want the municipal caravan to organize manpower and material resources, carry some goods, and follow them north?" Raymond asked rhetorically.

"It turns out that the Lord of the City has also thought of it. Yes, not only can you make some profits by doing this, but the most important thing is to seize the market and business opportunities. Is there a brand-new business path that can be opened up? There are many mutually scarce goods in the initial stage. If you grasp it well, you can make a lot of money.

Pen."

Whether Carden can become the chief financial officer of Ritavon City depends not only on his unusual relationship with Raymond, but also because of his extraordinary business talent.

Half of the wealth of Shwetawen City comes from commercial taxes, and the other half comes from the municipal caravan he runs. He buys low, sells high, and transships on demand, which is their most commonly used leg.

"If I am a professional in this matter, I just want to make sure I can make some money, so I will do it boldly. What do I need from him?" Raymond has managed Ruitawen so well that he naturally has the good virtue of knowing people and making good use of them.

"One thousand light cavalry, he needs the escort of one thousand light cavalry. Even if their exploration fails, they can ensure the safe withdrawal of their caravan." Kaden was cautious in his progress.

"Okay." Raymond nodded readily.

"Lord City Lord, a large number of citizens have appeared in the city. Please drag your families with them to join the immigrants outside the city. The general asked him to ask Yidong whether they should stop them?" A sergeant from the city defense army rushed in quickly.

"Approximately how many people are there?" Raymond's expression darkened slightly.

Whether the loss of wealth is temporary, it will not take long before it comes back hundreds or thousands of times.

The population is lost, but there is no way to return it except in a short period of time.

At the same time, it also shows that there are loopholes in their governance, and many people cannot survive there and go east. Otherwise, they would not choose to leave their hometown.

"Currently, there are more than a hundred people gathered in front of the city gate, and the number is increasing."

Raymond thought about it for a while and said, "Ask Wei Chanchu why they left, register them in a register, and then let them out of the city."

"Zuo Ming."

After the city defense sergeant left, Raymond couldn't help but sigh and said: "Old man, it seems that their governance method does not allow everyone to gain wealth."

Carden said matter-of-factly: "They are in charge of a city or a territory, and all policies can serve the majority of people, not all people.

People are divided into three, six or nine grades, and horses are divided into low, middle and high east.

With the same policy, some people can profit from it while others lose nothing.

In that case, should I blame the policy? Or should I blame the individual?

They left, indicating that they could not adapt to life there.

There is usually population movement, so if they move scatteredly along with the caravans, you won't feel it.

They can take away at most a thousand people from Shwetavon, if not more, they will lose."

"Maybe his temper for pursuing perfection has broken out." Raymond said with a smile, "I'll go and do it. If nothing unexpected happens, they should continue on the road tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I guess there will be a lot of preparation work on my side.

Please do it.”

"Don't worry, with their light cavalry guarding them, there is no need to move with their large troops. They are building roads while advancing, which is definitely better than if they were not dedicated to bandits, especially the Giant Plains, where there are purely monsters in Tiandong,

Even if they send an army of hobgoblins in in advance, they will not be able to completely clean them out. On the contrary, it will arouse public anger and make those monsters who have never had any contact with each other unite."

Many principles that exist in the shopping mall are also applicable on the battlefield. Although Kaden is a beginner on the battlefield, it is not true in the shopping mall.

"No, but it has been aroused. The trolls in the Troll Mountains are not ordinary trolls, but highly intelligent. They have taken the opportunity to gather the fleeing monsters in the Giant Plains and organize them into an army.

.

If they bring such a large population and materials with them, it will become their best plundering illusion, and they will inevitably launch an attack on everything.

If they succeed, they will most likely take advantage of the situation, rush out of the Troll Mountains, establish their own monster kingdom in the Giant Plains, and harass the surrounding areas."

The Plains of Giants is not far or close from Ritawen. Every year, monster tribes attack from the south. Naturally, Raymond is very concerned about the situation there.

Especially despite the unusual behavior of the Blood Claw Legion, the relationship between the two parties can be connected when they learn about Darauma's migration plan.

Kaden, who was just about to walk out, couldn't help but stop and said: "So, isn't the risk of this trip very high? Do I need to warn them?"

"There is no need to warn them. They know it well. I can tell by looking at the emphasis of the materials they purchased. Many of them have a restraining effect on trolls." Raymond said with a sneer, "I have heard of monsters.

Tribes that bring trouble to a certain mountain range, have I ever heard that they can build empires in the plains?

Fighting alone, those monsters do have inherent advantages, but when faced with a human army that has been assembled into an army and equipped to the teeth, they should not be afraid of them.

The trolls are huddled in the Troll Mountains and do not come out. They may continue to be kings and hegemons. Once they come out, they will definitely become a stepping stone for Baron Gavin to establish his power in the Giant Plains."

Could Raymond have seen with his own eyes the side vans and floor vans of the migrating army?

Those uniquely shaped chariots, but the Shwetawen light cavalry can only deliver food and goods.

But it is true that those monster legions are out-and-out killer weapons, especially after Ritawen has added an astonishing number of bows and crossbows, most of the civilians can also be armed and rely on those tanks to fight.

Remote attack support.

"Then he can rest assured." Kaden was convinced by Raymond's eyes. Since he said that, he must be right.

Gavin led the migrating army and rested for three full days in Shwetavon. When they set off again, the two main armies not only completed the basic change of equipment, but also nearly doubled the size of the fleet - the number of ordinary light and heavy trucks and the number of towed animals

quantity.

The truck inside was full of people with various ambitions and belongings.

The morale of the migrating army reached a peak. It turned out that they missed the migration and had many consequences.

Now that everything has disappeared, they now firmly believe that Lord Gavin can bring them safely to the valley and bring them an unprecedented new life.

He has the ability and the financial resources.

When we were on the road again, the previous continuous return sodium 7σYa was completely repaired, the running-in in all aspects had been completed, and it had entered a new stage - strengthening.

At that stage, the main goal is to further adjust and strengthen the physical fitness of those civilians so that they can gradually adapt to the higher intensity of travel speed.

Their migration speed was further improved, reaching 60 kilometers on the second day, 70 kilometers on the second day, 80 kilometers on the third day, and 80 kilometers on the fourth day.

Then they stopped again heading east because the biggest challenge of their trip - the Giants' Plains - arrived.

Not only did the migrating civilians not show any fear, on the contrary, they were all eager to try.

Because Lord Gavin had already planned there, a huge monster army was waiting for them there.

An impromptu military meeting was held in a huge open space on the grassland. The open field was the best cover. The Eye of Insight combined with the dragon vision glasses made it impossible for real and illusory things within a radius of several hundred meters to escape Gavin's eyes.

Eye.

The person walking in the first place is not one person, but two people.

One is Gavin, and the other is Zalanda, who has signed an alliance with the Saradas family.

On the right are Copperfield, Veranika, Nora, Anna, Darren, and Carissa.

On the left are Bloodclaw, Suzy, Buck, and Cangya.

The 1,600 kobolds that Gavin led from Dragon Oak had successfully joined forces with Bloodclaw and the others more than half a month ago, and played a huge role in the subsequent war.

Even though the number of kobolds is not large, the essence of the entire Dragon Elephant Territory is the dragon-veined kobolds who can activate the professional level, which is extremely practical and powerful.

"General Bloodclaw, please let me introduce the situation over there in Yidong." Gavin said straight to the point, "Start with the troops we currently have."

The information about the Blood Claw Legion that he held in his leg is no longer a thing of the past. After more than half a month of fierce fighting, their military strength must have undergone new changes. It has either decreased sharply or increased dramatically. This can be seen from the size of their military camp.

come out.

The hobgoblin warlord's tough-guy face could not help but reveal a smile at this moment: "Thanks to the reinforcements arranged by the lord, their reconnaissance and defense capabilities have been greatly improved, and the casualty rate of their soldiers has been greatly improved.

reduce.

The number of hobgoblin wolf cavalry has exceeded one thousand, the number of elite infantry has reached 2,500, and the number of goblin servants has reached as many as five thousand. In addition, they have one hundred hobgoblins.

giant."

When they took Chi Qi as their enemy, they hated the kobold's ability to create various traps and gritted their teeth with hatred.

Now as an ally to the east, it is really useful, which greatly makes up for the Blood Claw Legion's shortcomings of being good at offense but not good at defense.

The Oede reconnaissance team supplemented the aerial reconnaissance capabilities.

The casualty rate of the Blood Claw Legion has naturally been greatly reduced. With the large-scale recruitment of prisoners, the total strength of the troops will naturally increase rapidly.

"Hobgoblin giant?" This was the first time Gavin had heard such a title. "Am I talking about a hobgoblin half-giant? Do you have some giant bloodline?"

The half-giant race is naturally not limited to humans.

Hobgoblins, elves, dwarves, etc. all have half-giant races, but it’s just a matter of how many.

After all, the time when the giants ruled Faerûn was no shorter than that of the dragons and elves, and they left behind a large number of hybrids.

As for how to break the huge body size difference in the first place, of course it must be attributed to magic.

Both the enlargement and shrinking spells are first-level spells that can be cast by a single caster, and even some races have innate spell-like abilities.

"It's not a hobgoblin half-giant, it's a hobgoblin giant, a pure-blooded hobgoblin, but its body is huge." The hobgoblin warlord said with great certainty, "He told the lord before that there is a strange law there.
