"The Asaba River bursts its embankment at Black Feather Bridge, and those merchants in Sambia are planning to destroy the embankment in the direction of Feather Feather Valley and release the flood water to the low-lying frozen land." Fengda Hast said with a solemn expression.

"How dare they?" Gavin stood up in confusion.

The Frozen Land is also called the Cold Land. It is located on the north bank of the east reaches of the Asaba River, north of the Scar Valley and south of the Cultivated Valley. It is an uneven, low-lying land.

In fact, Gavin once had indirect contact with the place. Before the relocation of the Tessel refugee camp, it was close to it.

The reason why it has that name is that in addition to being colder than other places in winter, some of the largest battles in the history of the valley broke out there. More than 100,000 people died there one after another, making the place wander all year round.

A large number of ghosts, over time, have naturally been saturated with negative energy, and are closely connected with the shadow plane. The colder air is heavier, and the number of undead is greater. Many of them are not native to the cold winter land, but come from the shadows under special circumstances.

Came over from the Shadow Plane.

But it doesn’t mean that there are no people there at all. Many shepherds will graze there under the red sky when the undead dare not come out and move around. There are a large number of medicinal growers and medicinal collectors there, and they are negatively affected.

The amount of water is very saturated, which naturally means that it is easy to produce unique herbs related to negative amounts, which are usually valuable.

As for those outlaws, there is no shortage of such places.

"There is nothing those evil businessmen can't do when it comes to their own interests. Not to mention a sparsely populated frozen land, even a densely populated city, they dare to release floods." Vengda Haste said to the businessmen in Sambia.

, there was deep disdain in his words.

"Thank you, Archmage. This information is very important to him. He needs to return to the valley immediately to see if he can stop this thing." Gavin said with some burning in his butt.

"I'm afraid it's already too late. There was a delay of nearly half a month before the news reached them. And whether the flood discharge can't be delayed for a moment, I guess they made the decision on the front foot and implemented it on the back foot. They didn't prepare for that matter.

It's been a day or two." The court mage was very optimistic about this matter.

"Even if there is no way to stop them from releasing the flood, we still want to do our best to help the people in the disaster areas." Gavin said firmly, "No matter what, he wants to take a look for himself."

Although it sounds utilitarian, it is not a great opportunity for him to earn a lot of favor from the people in the valley. He must turn disadvantages into advantages.

"My friend Da Yi, please help yourself. He has some personal matters that need to be dealt with. After handling them, he will return to Cormyr. I hope Toji can see you again in Sousal." Vengda Hast stood up and said goodbye.

As for Yalusel and Karad who came with him, Ms. Katherine, the first elect entrusted to Ms. Stratagem, discovered through a brief contact that many things in the opponent's understanding of war are brand new and unique.

Subversive, once applied on a large scale on the battlefield, it will inevitably have a huge and far-reaching impact on the battle situation. Yalusel, who thinks that he has two brushes in combat command, whether it is a sandbox deduction or a chess game,

, regardless of whether they were actually commanding or not, they were all completely crushed by Catherine. They were kept submissive and acted as her little follower honestly.

He must go back and tell King Asan that they should continue to increase their investment in the Yinhong War College and Ms. Strategy to give them an advantage in that area.

"Then he won't send the Archmage."

"Stay."

Vengdahast didn't give Gavin a chance to send him, he opened the portal and teleported away, heading to Ximen. He had a secret mission that he had not yet completed. As for what kind of bloody storm he would cause in Ximen,

Then only he and those who need to meet him will know.

Before Gavin could leave to return to the valley, he was blocked by the two leaders of the Avengers Resistance, Yeshandara and Fan Ruina.

Yeshandara looked at Gavin solemnly and said: "Baron Pavilion East, he thinks they should go east to talk about the reconstruction of Ivanso and the resettlement of citizens."

Regarding the cooperation between the Conqueror Army and the Avengers Rebel Army to overthrow the undead regime of Ivanso and replace it, the two sides had reached a certain degree of consensus before that, but at that time, there was no general intention and the real division of interests was very difficult.

We have to wait until now, after they have really conquered Ivanso City eastward and won their initial victory.

"They really should have gone east to talk a long time ago. Otherwise, they have been scheming with the city lords and mayors for the past few days and have never been able to find time. Please give him five minutes. He has something to arrange.

Let's go inside and wait for a while." Gavin replied.

"Okay." Ye Shantara did not deny that she was an inhumane person and took the initiative to get out of the way.

Gavin hurriedly found Veranika, shared the information he had just received with her, and arranged the task: "I will take Luna with me and return to Vizeme Manor immediately to summon water legs who are proficient in water.

Especially those mercenaries whose homes are near the frozen land are given priority. They rush to the frozen land as quickly as possible to rescue people. If not, take Regina back with them, collect as much as possible of the disaster and help them with the disaster relief.

A person's memory image, come back to pick him up in two hours."

"Ming Hong." Veranika is now somewhat following Gavin's thinking pace. The task he just arranged seemed to be one task, but in fact it was two tasks. One was to provide disaster relief as much as possible, and the other was to collect publicity materials.

It was both to their own benefit and to the detriment of the Sambian businessmen. They turned that catastrophic event into a sharp weapon to attack the Sambian businessmen.

After sending Veranika away, Gavin returned to the conference room, and asked Sandara and Fan Ruina with a smile: "Even if we don't come to him, he will come to us when he comes. He has a copy."

Let’s take a look at the draft for in-depth cooperation, and after reading it, it won’t be too late for them to talk about it.”

Of course Gavin did not consciously ignore the Avengers Resistance, but he has been looking for a point of convergence that is beneficial to both sides.

"Hiss..." Yessandra and Fan Ruina just glanced at Gavin's draft plan and couldn't help but take a breath of air.

They knew Gavin's ambition was very big, but they didn't expect it to be so big.

Because the name of the draft plan is called Dragon Coast Unified Plan.

The main body of the unified plan is not the army of conquerors, but the avengers and rebels.

Compared to that huge plan, the things they had wanted to argue with Gavin had turned into petty calculations that could not be brought to the table at all.

Gavin spoke from the side at the right time: "I believe that after that incident, we have a deeper understanding of the situation on the Dragon Coast. The power there is actually controlled by a group of dark forces. The city lord and mayor who just negotiated with them

, but they are a bunch of puppets that they pushed to the table.

If you want to completely change the situation there, you can't do it alone with the power of a city, but if you want to change the ruling model of the entire Dragon Bay, change people's inherent concepts, and completely eradicate those dark forces from there,

In our opinion, what is the most important thing in this matter?”

Fan Ruina replied without thinking: "Force, powerful force."

"Is strong force indeed a method, but he thought, that should not be what the Baron wants to ask, because once force is purely used, it will inevitably involve a lot of bloodshed, and their current situation will clearly prove that it is urgent.

Those dark forces will also unite uncharacteristically." Rather than analyze it for Fan Ruina, Ye Shantala would rather take the opportunity to clear up her own thinking.

Although she had only been in contact with Gavin for a short time, she gained a lot. The most important thing was that her horizons were opened, and her thoughts were naturally opened up. Especially when Gavin's cooperation plan was laid out in front of her, she had dared to do it in her dream.

Everything I thought about came to mind.

"That's right." Gavin confirmed Yeshandara's idea and added a precondition to his question, "If we don't have absolute force, what is the best way to eradicate those dark forces?"

Yeshandara had already come up with her own answer at that time, and replied: "Eradicate the soil where the dark forces exist. The dark forces are now in power on the Dragon Coast. There are many reasons. The most important reason is that it is caused by the special nature of the industry.

.

Once pirates were rampant, their rampant activities severely affected the development of the Dragon Coast's own maritime trade. At the same time, they attracted a large number of young people into the high-risk, high-income industry, thus spawning more villains.

At the same time, it will also spawn Lu Zai’s stolen goods agents such as Purple Mask and Chaohua.

Secondly, the existence of the slave trading industry, an industry that gets something for nothing, is most likely to foster the development of dark forces.

If those dark industries are not eradicated, the dark forces will continue to be driven by sufficient interests.

But everything has reached its starting point, and if we want to ban that kind of dark industry, we must have strong force as support."

"Strike at close range and make friends at a distance." Gavin replied with a smile, "Combating pirates is not a matter for one family on the Dragon Coast, but a common matter for all countries along the entire Sea of ​​Fallen Stars. On that matter, I can definitely cooperate with you.

Those countries and cities reached a consensus to jointly promote this matter.

Putting aside everything else, I believe that the Kingdom of Cormyr will be my strongest ally in this regard.

And those dark forces are not necessarily entirely evil. For example, the Light of Boscu is very interesting. It is indeed an out-and-out thieves guild, but it has now surfaced and directly controls

In the city, although many groups are not like the Thieves Guild, they can already see the prototype of management, and their efficiency is very similar to that of ordinary cities, because they are simple and direct enough, and they leave other dark forces with no room for survival, because they themselves

Just be an expert in that area.

Just give them a certain degree of guidance and development space, and the thieves guild will transform into the city's ruling class. Who can say whether they are a thieves guild or not?"

The cities on the Dragon Coast are studying Gavin and the army of conquerors. Gavin and the others are also collecting information on the cities on the Dragon Coast, especially those dark forces, let alone focusing on the key points. They know those forces well and dare not say anything.

, at least you know who was really wrong that time.

Yeshandara simply put the plan in her legs together, stared at the young man in front of her and said, "I have to admit, that is a very tempting plan. Is it right there? He saw the mistake of their Avengers."

The benefits, what do I want to get out of it?”

Any plan is mutually beneficial, especially if it is a plan proposed by the wrong party, but when the benefits of the wrong party are not seen, Yeshandara has to be careful about it to avoid pitfalls.

"Does the benefit have to be clearly stated?" Gavin sighed slightly in his heart.

Wanting to support Yeshandara to unify the Dragon Coast, he made a quick decision and gathered his own think tank team, specially inviting two Ms. Strategist voters Catherine and Zalanda to participate, and jointly formulated a strategic plan

.

In her presence, Gavin saw Zalanda's Yongxuan, the same strong and eager to win, the same full of fighting spirit, the same self-sacrifice for the interests of the people and forgetting others.

But regardless of their origins, they have many differences.

Zalanda is not a standard Tethyr knight. She advocates using the sharp sword in her legs to solve all difficulties, using her legs to seize everything she needs, and she will never give up easily.

Is it due to the general environment of Tethyr? Once you compromise, you will easily be swallowed up by those greedy warlords and nobles. It is better to fight to the death than to do that.

Yeshandara will make full use of all the resources around her to win previous victories for herself. This can be seen from her borrowing troops from her. Doing so will certainly make it easier for her to win.

But it may also leave serious sequelae, and it is easy to be controlled by others, resulting in low self-control.

That was the reason why there was a huge difference between her and Zalanda's previous achievements in her previous life.

Zalanda conquered the entire Tethyr eastward, seized control of the entire Tethyr, and ascended to the position of queen with non-royal blood.

And Yeshandara seized control of the city of Ivansuo, which was not complete, but the situation on the entire Dragon Coast did not change much.
