There are some more difficult ones. Those hobgoblin cavalry not only dismounted, but also acted as stepping stones. With the combined efforts of three hobgoblins, they were enough to send the dire wolf mount up a short cliff more than four meters high. They then
Use the reins of the dire wolf to climb up.
Four meters is already the height of most town walls.
Gavin had no chance to take action at all. He was more interested in watching the performance of the hobgoblin wolf cavalry led by Bloodclaw.
Bloodclaw was determined to show off the abilities of himself and his troops in front of the new lord, and applied what he had learned throughout his life to the extreme.
Ten kilometers is said to be far or near.
It took less than an hour for the hobgoblin wolf cavalry to sweep around.
Don't think that an hour is very long. This is rocky terrain, the terrain is very complicated, and they are in intermittent battles.
Ten kilometers an hour is already an unimaginable speed.
Bloodclaw took them around in a circle and plowed back from the valley on the other side. This time it took a little longer, only about an hour and a half.
This is the flaw of the wolf cavalry. The short-distance running speed is amazing, but in terms of endurance, it cannot keep up with the war horses.
If they continue to attack, their speed will be further slowed down.
When Gavin took them back to the Black Death camp.
Under the command of Sterina, the battlefield here has been cleaned up.
All the corpses have been gathered together, a pile of vassals, a pile of jackals, and flammable wood has been piled around them.
As two torches were thrown in, a raging fire started.
The hobgoblins gathered around the group of vassal soldiers, clapped their hands, stamped their feet, and sang impassioned war songs. There was not much sadness on their faces. For them, death is a common occurrence. It won't take long for these warriors.
, you will be reborn in the kingdom of God, the mighty Magrubit, and follow him in the Shura field to carry out endless holy wars.
As for the pile of jackals, as the fire burned, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and the black mist rushed into the sky, condensing into the shape of a ferocious jackal, which greedily tore out the souls of all the jackals and swallowed them into its belly.
, it’s like swallowing another world.
This jackal formed from the black mist seemed to have its own consciousness. Its ferocious gaze swept over everyone in the field one by one, especially Gavin, who stayed there for the longest time.
It made many people's nerves rise involuntarily and they tightened their grip on their weapons.
The attack they feared did not happen.
This is just an illusory shadow condensed by a mass of black mist, and it is not a real demon summoned into the material plane.
This phantom is Yeenoghu, the god of the gnoll race. He has just come to collect his trophies. These gnolls infused with the power of the abyss are equivalent to signing a devil's contract with him, and their souls will skip the step of judgment.
Fall directly into his abyss realm and become his new people.
This is the price of using the power of the abyss.
When the souls of all the jackals were harvested, the shadows dissipated and turned into black mist again, dissipating into the heaven and earth.
At this time, Virginia had the opportunity to get close to Gavin and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
You know without asking, you must be asking about the Blood Oath of the True God.
The man in front of me is like a mystery.
When a veil is lifted and you think you have clearly recognized him.
It turned out that a new veil had emerged.
"It's because of the Destiny Reshaper." Gavin did not hide anything, but said in a way that Virginia could accept, "Killing the leader of the Black Death may have changed their destiny and created a strange...
Destinies are intertwined, thus triggering a chain reaction."
Unexpectedly, Lord Virginia actually accepted this vague explanation and understood it. He said thoughtfully: "The power of fate is far more magical and powerful than I imagined.
How are you going to accommodate them?"
"Needless to say? Of course we have to recruit them. The biggest shortcoming of our territory right now is the lack of a powerful and flexible army. Now we can make up for it all at once." Gavin answered without thinking.
Even without the Blood Oath of the True God, he would definitely recruit these hobgoblins.
"I mean, where are you going to place them? Such an army requires a lot of logistical supplies." Lord Virginia put the question to the point.
Raising an army, especially such a large army, consumes a lot of money every day, especially those hundreds of ferocious wolves.
The hobgoblins in front of me were completely destroyed by the black god of death. Except for the strong, old, weak, sick and disabled, none of them were left alive.
This means that while they are strong, their own weak logistical supplies are all gone.
When the time comes, we will all have to rely on the dragon oak collar for support.
It might be a good idea to break them up and place them in Heijing Town or Yingya Town.
But Gavin is a little reluctant to give up, especially with the support of the True God's Blood Oath. Of course, the most powerful thing is when the power is concentrated together.
Gavin thought about it and said with a half-smile, "Could it be that you have thought of a suitable place?"
The Virginia lord smiled and responded: "Don't you think the Lake of Tears Valley is very suitable? If you tell me that their supplies do not need the help of Spring Bud Forest, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"You want me to guard your home again."
"Shouldn't it be right?"
"Yes, of course I should."
While the two were talking and laughing, they had reached an agreement.
Gavin pulled out a dagger and quickly drew a simple map on the dirt. He clicked on it and said: "Even if you are guarding the house, you don't need to put it so close. Instead, look for it at this point.
The most suitable place to set up camp is."
The map Gavin drew is simple enough.
A straight line running from east to west, with the High Road marked on it.
On the north side of the high road, there are three black dots lined up in a line, which say Shenkeng Town, Heijing Town and Yingya Town respectively.
On the south side of the high road, directly below the town between Heijing Town and Eagle Cliff Town, is the Lake of Tears Valley.
The new point he pointed out is located on the high road, almost equidistant from Heijing Town, Eagle Cliff Town, and Tear Lake Valley.
Before Lord Virginia could speak, Gavin explained the reason himself: "It goes without saying that it is cheap to support three points from here. The farthest point is no more than ten kilometers. If the enemy does not take this place,
If we go down here, we will inevitably face a flanking attack, but if we attack here, we will face an encirclement from three sides. This is one of them.
Second, the convenience of supply. In the later period, not only the three towns can support this military town, but also part of the food coming from the high road can be directly transferred here. After all, there is relatively little agricultural land in the Chunya Forest, so just by collecting it,
The supplies provided are quite limited, and one Eagle Cliff is already a big burden. Add in a military town, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the pressure..."
Gavin paused slightly and said: "If you consider opening several large farms in Chunya Forest, I can consider placing General Town in the Lake of Tears Valley."
Lord Virginia gave Gavin a roll of his eyes and said: "If I dare to issue such an order, thousands of felines will come to make trouble tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will make trouble in the Fairy King's Court. I, the lord, will also
Just pretend that it won’t be long. By then, the speed of opening up large farms will not be as fast as the speed of destruction. You can’t imagine how to open a farm in the Fairy Wilderness.”
"This is not a joke, you are joking!" Gavin laughed awkwardly, knowing that he was joking in the wrong place, and hurriedly got back to business, "Thirdly, with them here, the high road into the rocky area will be safer.
, will be greatly improved, and the road construction plan can be put on the agenda."
"It does sound like a good location." Lord Virginia had to nod after hearing this, "It's just that this way, you will have more construction sites, and your kobolds will be too busy.
Come here?"
If you count carefully, there are quite a lot of large construction sites in Long Oak Ling.
The paving and repair of the sections leading to the high road from Dragon Oak Dragon Nest, Eagle Cliff Town, and Heijing Town are now on the agenda for another military town, not to mention the subsequent maintenance of the high road.
Gavin sighed and said: "When you draw on a blank paper, you can only rely on your own hands for everything, but there is a benefit, that is, you have a lot of fun. Once you succeed, the rewards will be great. Let's go and meet my future general."
The future general Gavin mentioned was naturally referring to Blood Claw.
Seeing Gavin and Virginia walking towards him, Bloodclaw hurriedly came up to them, knelt down on one knee and said: "Bloodclaw, I have met the leader, and I would like to thank the leader for disregarding his past grudges and lending a helping hand."
"Get up, get up and talk." Gavin smiled and helped the hobgoblin warlord who was kneeling on the ground at the same level as him, and said, "If you think about it seriously, this is not the first time we have met."
The hobgoblin warlord, who spoke without restraint, couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face at this moment and said: "My lord, you have recognized me."
"Fate, I can only say fate." Gavin chuckled and said, "Unexpectedly, after going round and round, we turned out to be a family. Black Death has done many bad things in other things, but in this matter, he has made a great contribution.
Tell us about your experiences after leaving Black Well!"
"As ordered." Bloodclaw spoke concisely and concisely, recounting what happened after he led the Bloodclaw tribe into a state of migration.
It can only be said that it is bad luck and a bad year.
Just preparing to rise up, after eradicating the Trap Tribe, their old enemy for many years, they encountered the rising Black Well Tribe.
After entering the migration state, with his superb command and the good fighting ability of the hobgoblin wolf cavalry, he has just opened up a little situation.
He ran into the black reaper heading east, and barely withstood the impact of the vassal soldiers, but failed to resist the rampage of the crazy gnolls, and could only be trapped.
Just now, with his own intelligence and the mobility of the hobgoblin wolf cavalry, he won the position of the leader of the vassal soldiers in the Black Death, and he ran into Gavin's dragon oak collar again.
Only this time, he made a wise choice and did not fight Gavin. Instead, he ran back and stabbed the Black Death in the back.
Bloodclaw is also a talented person. It can be said that he is indomitable. No matter what bad situation he encounters, he does not give up. Instead, he works hard to gain more power and more living space for himself.
In the past three months, he has been solid, tempered by blood and fire, and grown into a qualified hobgoblin warlord.
If Heijing had faced the current Blood Claw back then, Heijing would probably have become history.
Of course, it's not just Bloodclaw that's growing. Gavin's growth rate also makes Bloodclaw's heart beat with shock. This is just the tip of the iceberg he saw. If he saw the full picture of Dragon Oak Territory, he would definitely shout that he had made it.
The wisest choice in this life.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gavin wanted to pat the other person's shoulder, but it was too troublesome, so he could only pat the other person's arm and said, "You will be the leader of this army for the time being. Pack up all the supplies that can be taken away from this place.
, I will arrange a new station for you."
"Yes." Bloodclaw responded loudly and with great enthusiasm. These were thousands of strong goblins. As long as he was given enough supplies and time, he could build a powerful iron-blooded army. This was his biggest dream in life.
With the Blood Oath of the True God, many things will be much more convenient.
When Gavin uses Blood Claw, he doesn't have to be suspicious or worried, at least until the other party doesn't face a temptation greater than Magrubit's divine punishment.
Bloodclaw does not have to worry, Gavin will harm him. Although the Blood Oath of the True God does not forcefully bind Gavin, no lord, especially those ambitious lords, can refuse the allegiance of a group of powerful and loyal soldiers.
