Gavin sighed helplessly and said: "It seems that my plan to enlighten more tree people from the surrounding area is about to fail, and I can only find another way."
After the Dragon Oak Mother Tree's torment, not to mention around her, even in the entire Spring Bud Forest, there are probably only a few suitable trees left that can enlighten tree people.
"This kind of thing has its pros and cons." Virginia also had a look of helplessness on her face, "The Dragon Oak Mother Tree has stimulated all the war potential of the Spring Bud Forest. Within a hundred years, it is very likely that there will be no
Will awaken any tree man again."
"Then just like I said before, don't focus on one place, start from other directions." Gavin's mood changed quickly, "If you were asked to give up the Dragon Oak War Giant Tree and restore the previous state of the Spring Bud Forest, you
Do you want to do it or not?”
"Of course not, only a fool can do it." A trace of playfulness flashed across Virginia's face.
"That's it." Gavin said with a smile, "Let's not take advantage and be good. The most important thing now is to step up the defense construction of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. The commotion just caused is not small, and it is difficult to protect the Chunya Forest.
The enemies will not come to destroy the Dragon Oak War Tree while it is still immobile."
Speaking of this matter, Virginia showed a serious expression, nodded and said: "It's not impossible, but it is certain, especially the useless giants. Therefore, I decided to abandon Chunya Fort and send all the troops to
All of them will be concentrated on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. No matter how much land they annex in the Spring Bud Forest, as long as the Dragon Oak War Giant Tree is safe, and we can find a way to activate it, we can get them all back."
The Lord of Virginia does not lack decisiveness. There is a reason why he has been able to persevere for so many years surrounded by useless giants and hags.
"It's best if you have such an awareness." Gavin nodded and said, "Not only is your side going into a defensive state, my side is also going to enter a silent period of development, and most of the kobolds in the subsequent expansion will be diverted.
Come to the dragon oak war giant tree, and it happens to have a dark area large enough in its body to accommodate thirty to fifty thousand kobolds, so it won't be a problem."
"Are the enemies you provoked this time so troublesome?" Virginia originally thought that Gavin would be done with hiding in the Fairy Wilderness for a few days, but she didn't expect that he would even have to adjust his development strategy.
"This incident has become a trigger, detonating the conflict between the two factions within the Zhentarim in advance. Manson, the leader of the Zhentarim, is now leaning towards the Cyric faction and is fighting against the tyranny of Zhentil Keep.
Believers of the god, launched a massacre.
Compared to Mansung who suffered a loss, the group of followers of the God of Tyranny are now more eager to find the whereabouts of these goods and prove their innocence. Now, their spies are everywhere in the rocky land, and they are suspicious of every force, including us.
Therefore, we cannot show too much strength in a short period of time."
Although Gavin has been hiding in the Fey Wilderness these days, he is paying close attention to the situation outside, especially the situation in the direction of the Zhentarim. There is no need to arrange spies at all. News of some major events will spread throughout the world like wings.
In the Heartland area, the merchants in Heijing have the sharpest noses, and they bring a lot of news.
Unexpectedly, his actions against the Zhentarim's development in Rockland actually affected the main body of the Zhentarim, causing the Bane Massacre that was supposed to happen next year to take place in advance.
But the protagonist has not changed. It is still Xeno Jingshan who leads a group of Cyric believers through the dark and twisted streets of Zhentil Castle, trying to cleanse all the Bane believers in that city.
Followers of Bane were given two choices: convert to Cyric, or go and explain to Cyric in person why he was unworthy of worship.
However, the same event occurs at different points in time, resulting in different results.
The current cult of Cyric has just started, and its power is far from being as powerful as imagined.
Bane, on the other hand, had just fallen, and his base of believers was huge, especially in Zhentil Castle, which was far more deeply rooted than imagined.
Before Manson had time, he secretly moved the main body of the dark intelligence network from Zhentil Keep to Raven Fortress in the Dragon's Spine Mountains.
Therefore, the one-sided massacre in Gavin's memory did not occur, but turned into a civil war in Zhentil Keep.
The Cyric cultists and the Bann cultists knocked out their brains in Zhentil Keep, seriously affecting the operation of the Dark Intelligence Network.
And large-scale chambers of commerce like Crimson Feather are waiting eagerly.
When the Dark Intelligence Network showed a slight sign of weakness, the group of jackals swarmed up and ate the fat that had been forcibly occupied by them.
Except for the black road across the Eno Oak Desert, the situation is special and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene.
Along the Moon-Sea Highway that passes through the Kosoman Forest, the Moon-Sea shipping service has abruptly lost more than 30% of its customers in less than ten days.
Faced with this situation, the Zhentarim were anxious from top to bottom.
Manson had to unite with Bane's high priest Bozor to forcibly suppress the riot.
The first massacre of Bane ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Originally, Cyric would take this opportunity to harvest a large number of followers who originally belonged to Bane, so that his reputation would reach an unprecedented peak and prepare for the second Bane Massacre, but now everything has come to nothing.
After this bloody lesson, the remaining Benn believers must be fully prepared. If they want to raise a butcher knife against them again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
This situation is naturally something Gavin likes to see. After all, Cyric is the executor of the assassination of the goddess of magic in the future. If his strength can be weakened, it will be more beneficial to his plan. If he can be weakened to
, if it does not pose a threat to the goddess of magic, it will be easier for me.
Of course, this is just imagining that the historical process can be changed so easily, so that would be easy.
Lord Virginia asked suspiciously: "This is not like your style. A Zhentarim scares you like this? Are there other reasons?"
Gavin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "I can't hide anything from you. In fact, even without the Zhentarim, the development pace of the Dragon Oak Territory should be slowed down."
"Tell me about it." Virginia said with a serious expression.
"Whatever your size, you have to face enemies of that size. In the past, when we were fighting on a small scale, the big forces and high-end mages looked down upon them and did not come to cause trouble. Once they exceed a certain size, they will all
It’s hard to tell if you’re jealous. After all, the kobolds are a foreign force. The Kingdom of Cormyr is very likely to turn a blind eye to this, or even be a behind-the-scenes supporter.” The dark life of Gavin’s Zhentarim Society
Determined by experience, he always looks at things from the dark and evil side, and speculates on people with the greatest malice.
Especially when there is a conflict of interest between the two parties, facts have proven that most of the time, his view is correct.
It's just right to start hiding my clumsiness now.
The dragon oak collar can not only create a lot of value, but also attract the attention of relevant people - such as the personal visit of Vongelda Hast.
It's not enough to make the great nobles and even the legendary mages become greedy and come to snatch it from him.
"In your eyes, do all people have black hearts?" Lord Virginia did not understand Gavin's thoughts in this regard.
Gavin said with a serious face: "To be more precise, in my eyes, as long as I don't know or understand people, their hearts are black until I personally confirm that they are not black, such as yours."
"You have so many lies." There was a trace of shyness on Virginia's beautiful face. It was obviously a lie, but Gavin turned it into a love story, "But you have to think about food.
, once I shrink the defense line, most of the Spring Bud Forest will be given to the useless giants. By then, our own food will be stretched thin, let alone supporting you. One day, we may even need your support."
"Hehe..." Gavin smiled proudly.
Virginia was a little creepy when she laughed. She couldn't help but hugged her chest and said, "Why are you laughing? When the time comes, I will never repay you physically."
"(⊙o⊙)..." Gavin's laughter stopped suddenly and he said dumbfounded, "Hey, hey, where do you think of this?"
Virginia's face turned red, all the way to her neck, and she said in a confused voice, "You...you...don't mean that."
"Of course that's not what I mean." Gai Wen said sternly, "With our current relationship, if I let you pay with your flesh, I would lose even my underpants."
"You..." Lord Virginia grinded his teeth with hatred. He reached out and pinched a piece of Gavin's soft flesh and twisted it. This move was self-taught.
Gavin endured the pain while explaining: "I'm laughing at you. I didn't want to farm before, but now I can't even do it. Look below, isn't it just a piece of natural farmland? I promise, whatever you plant, you will grow.
And it grows extremely luxuriantly.”
Lord Virginia looked along the circle drawn by Gavin's finger, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
When the Dragon Oak Mother Tree rose from the ground and transformed into a state of war, its size was greatly reduced, and the area it occupied was also reduced. In addition, so many tree people and enlightenment trees were born at once, and there were indeed large areas of trees around.
space.
Gavin dared to make the assertion that what he planted would grow, of course because this place had been nourished by the life force scattered by the dragon oak mother tree, which could not be completely dissipated in eight years.
"Not only can it be grown here, but it can also be grown on the mother dragon oak tree. All kinds of mushrooms can even be grown inside the mother dragon oak tree. This alone is enough to supply the internal needs of the mother dragon oak tree." Gavin expressed his opinion on promoting Virginie.
The sub-lord has always been very interested in farming.
In the final analysis, it is because she has a unique advantage, not only because she has a large number of druids, but also because of her special synchronization with the Fairy Wilderness, which allows her to have conveniences that others do not have when farming.
Once she chooses to join this promising industry, she will have an excellent breeding base, and it will be extremely convenient to promote farming in other places.
As the situation changed, the Virginia lord's thoughts also changed.
When they met, Gavin started talking to her about farming, but she just smiled and listened, which was a bit of a joke. After all, he was a master of his own trade.
As the two sides formed an alliance, she did not object to this matter, nor was she too supportive. She only gave her the right to recruit fey, but did not directly come forward to help Gavin. This is clear evidence.
As the relationship deepened, she gave him some support, but in essence, she refused.
But this time, Virginia was finally moved.
This kind of heartbeat is the combination of multiple elements.
First of all, it is imperative for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to farm its own land. As a strategic war weapon, it must have its own internal cycle, at least it cannot simply rely on external supplies.
Secondly, Gavin had previously instilled in Virginia the concept of attracting a large number of fey from the outside, which also required food support.
If she were asked to cut down forests to create farmland, Virginia would 100% disagree.
However, it is not impossible to cultivate food crops on existing vacant land.
