"He feels that the first thing they need to discuss is not the tactical issue, but the strategic issue. What is the significance of their attack on Ivansuo? Just as mercenaries, just get a vote and leave? Isn't it like blood?
Like the Dwarf Statue City, send people to rule there? If you don't do that, what will be the consequences?" Carissa's words directly raised the nature of the meeting to a whole new level.
Before she joined Gavin's command, she was the shaman of the mountain tribe and part-time captain of the combat team. Compared with fighting with people, they fought more against the sky (hard living environment).
When Myth Noel was engaged in an elite confrontation with the drow, she showed that she was not capable of commanding an elite team. This can be explained by her previous hunting experience.
But without the strategic gaze in front of her, there is no way to use that explanation. It can be said that there is something about her innate talent. She has her own uniqueness in war.
"It must not be occupied. If once occupied, the nature of the whole thing will completely change. They will become out-and-out invaders on the Dragon Coast. Those cities that are very hesitant will not be safe for themselves. They will inevitably
If all the forces in the region can join forces to fight them, if they are composed of an elite army, they may have a good chance of fighting, but if their main body is civilians, they will not be able to fight mobile warfare, and they have no power there.
Any mass base, over time, they will be killed like those invading monster tribes, so that’s not the case.”
Veranika said firmly, "Secondly, when they pass through the Kingdom of Cormyr, if they want to borrow a passage from them, it will be difficult to reach the sky, and their own safety will be jeopardized. They will not allow a leader to
There are aggressive troops passing through their territory."
The route for the second half of the conqueror's army has also been finalized.
In Ivanso, they will follow the wasteland path, enter the goblin wilderness sandwiched between the Moonfall Mountains and the Stormhorn Mountains, until they reach the rocky land, and follow the high road to the valley.
At that time, the Kingdom of Cormyr will be the biggest obstacle blocking their way.
It is simply that the conqueror's army is now too large, to the extent that even the Kingdom of Cormyr cannot take it lightly. They must negotiate in advance to find a way, especially since Gavin's Dragon Oak Territory is in their territory, and they cannot easily engage in war.
In fact, compared to that road, there is a better way to go.
Take the road Bloodclaw took from the valley, take a boat across Dragon Lake, and then pass through Sambia, directly arriving at the Land of Three Rivers. That road is almost a third of the way away.
But the problem becomes two. One is that without a large number of ships, safety is not guaranteed when crossing the lake.
Secondly, the relationship between Gavin and Sambia is very tense. Once they enter rashly, there will definitely be an all-out war. Without a second option, the land of Three Rivers will be affected, which is something Gavin does not want to see.
"He agreed with Chief of Staff Ge Dong that the Dragon Coast has been in chaos for a long time and cannot be changed in a short time. Unless they are determined to leave the entire army there permanently, the value of occupying the city there is not high.
, with that kind of energy, it would be better to build a city on the spot like Blood Gorge City. At least everything is under their control and there is no need to mix with the local forces." Carissa expressed her opinion,
"That doesn't mean there's no value there at all."
“Where does value come from?”
"Population! For them, population is the greatest wealth. The turbulent situation on the Dragon Coast means that the population there is destined to be very mobile. In all cities, there are a large number of people who are dissatisfied with the government. Please let them be a little bit
If there is a little hope, countless people will definitely be willing to join the migration."
Carissa's honest face showed a sly smile and she said, "Although they can't occupy territory there on a large scale, they can cooperate with local forces, obtain enough preferential policies from them, and build industries there.
Especially in industries related to Blood Gorge City, they have an absolute advantage. After being transported from the other side of the Giant Plains, they can monopolize the profits.
Even if their migrant population can double here, I believe it will not work for the Lord. Many intensive industries that employ a large number of people will definitely need to be separated and look for densely populated areas to set up processing plants.
The Dragon Coast is an excellent choice. If you take the land route, it is very far away, but if you take the sea route, it is easy and convenient to get there from the valley.
If there is a chance, they can completely build it into a second Sambia by supporting agents, allowing them to rush to the front, compete with Sambia in business, relieve the pressure on the valley side, and take the opportunity to quickly
develop."
After hearing those words, most people stared at Carissa in stunned silence.
It doesn’t matter how earth-shattering the plan she proposed is. The Lord wants to know who proposed that plan.
If that plan had not been proposed by Chief of Staff Veranika or Lord Gavin, everyone would have taken it for granted, because they themselves have a strategic vision of the overall situation.
But it would be somewhat unbelievable if it was brought up by Carissa. After all, she usually shows herself to be brave, warlike, and honest. If this is not the racial character and label of Goliath, she is not the Goliath among Goliaths.
Ya, put everything first.
Most of the time, many people even forget that she is not a spell caster and has a certain degree of spell casting ability.
Only Darren Fou and Gavin were not surprised.
Is the former because during that time, the two of them cooperated the most, and knowing how good that tall woman is, he can pull up the vanguard army from scratch, and how much contribution did the other party play in it?
.
Without her and the selfless support of the Goliath regiment led by her, even if the vanguard army was formed, it would not be as powerful as it is now.
Does the latter know that the wrong person is not a pure Goliath? He is half-drow blood, and some things are flowing in his bones and are innate.
Didn’t you have the opportunity to explore that aspect before? Since meeting Gavin, you have begun to eagerly absorb that aspect of knowledge.
In Myth Noel, she was not only very close to Strina, another half-drow elf, but she also had a good relationship with the pure drow elf Daphne.
Stabbing knives, scheming against each other, the relationship is not considered to be good.
He often asked himself about some weird things, such as whether that intensive industry and that kind of professional terminology definitely came from him. He couldn't remember when he had talked about it with Carissa, but he didn't expect her to
Integrate it and make it your own.
Based on her words alone, her future development direction is not as a general who can lead an army alone, but as a candidate to be in charge of the overall situation.
The only regret is that she is no longer a direct descendant of Gavin. The inseparable bond between her and Goliath constrains her, preventing Gavin from granting her greater rights and important responsibilities.
But everyone will change, especially the large-scale migration of the conqueror's army, which has the greatest impact on people's inherent concepts. This is a process of tearing apart and reshaping.
Including Carissa and the Goliaths she led, who were seconded to assist Gavin and the others in their migration, their inherent concepts were also greatly impacted.
After half of Shan Dong's journey as a conqueror is completed and it's not too late to see how they change, just ask him to stay by his side, and he will have a good chance.
"What are we doing looking at him with that look? What? Is there a problem with the point of view he put forward? If there is a problem, we can point it out. In the words of the lord, will he start to make suggestions now?" Kelly
Sha was a little embarrassed by the strange looks from everyone. After all, she lacked the most basic self-confidence in that aspect.
"No, there is a problem. What I said was so good that I surprised everyone. Everyone knew about my bravery before, but they didn't know that I also have my own unique insights in strategic layout and business. Let's say no, no, no.
?" Gavin said with a smile.
"That's right, after listening to the lady's words, he felt that his previous thoughts were too shallow. He only saw the gains and losses of one city and one place, instead of looking at things from an overall perspective. From this point of view, it is indeed better to occupy than not.
occupy."
"Before that, he has a question, can you help him solve it? Why do they want to immigrate to the valley? With their current strength, not to mention the Dragon Coast, even if they were in Blood Gorge City before, it is enough
Take root enough to run your own city." Thomas, the hobgoblin warlord, asked the question in many people's minds.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Gavin. No one could answer that question for him, not even Veranika.
"I believe that I am not the only one who has that question. As their strength increases, they can purchase land in Horicheng, and more and more people will have that idea. Tomorrow he will give a unified explanation there
." Gavin's brain was running rapidly, and he organized the words, "Everything has a purpose, and this was not the case when they organized immigration.
If we simply find a way for those immigrants to survive, depending on their strength, they don't need to leave Tethyr at all and can just find a suitable place. In a few days, they can build a new city.
But for them, it has no strategic significance.
But it would be different if that group of immigrants could be successfully brought to the valley. They would become the majority of a sub-valley and would not need to occupy it at all. That sub-valley and even the surrounding sub-valleys would have to look down upon them.
.
The kind of city built by them will be shaped into what they want according to their will.
It's different in areas like the Dragon Coast where cities and people are densely intertwined. Just fighting with the local forces will take up most of their energy. There is no way to let go of production and construction and use their advantages.
Take it to the extreme.
In addition, he has many plans in the valley. There is no way to share them all with us now. We need to remember that in the valley, their growth is limited, and Yuanji is higher than people in other places.
Cooking bad Nai Tu Shao Guangdong Shu
Time will witness his promise tomorrow, and he will lead us in the valley to climb unprecedented peaks and witness unprecedented glory."
When it came to the beginning, Gavin was somewhat vague.
Because of the most critical reason, he couldn't come up with it.
He can never say whether he is a reborn person with the ability to predict the future.
The core event that determines the fate of Faerûn, and even Toril as a whole, will take place in the Northland and the Valley.
Can he plan ahead and occupy the core position now, and strive to become strong enough to become one of the traders before the full outbreak, instead of being pushed to the old path by the thigh of fate.
If there is a path forward and no retreat, then we can move forward courageously.
"The destination cannot be changed, and that matter becomes much simpler. If other places cannot assist, the destination is the main body, and strategic plans in other places are all centered around that main body. Therefore, he agreed with Carissa
The lady's plan is to cooperate with local friendly forces to plunder the population and wealth to the greatest extent, and at the same time build their own industries, and continuously suck blood from there, which not only lacks wealth, but also has a lot of population to support their cities in other areas.
, to speed up their development." Bloodsworn Warlord Thomas was the first to raise questions, and he was also the first to accept Gavin's explanation.
Because for him, whether the reasons given by Gavin are reasonable or not should not be repeated. If the reasons given by Gavin are not reasonable and the goals are clear enough, the head will be set, and the rest of the matter can be easily carried out.
Does that belong to the strategic thinking of the hobgoblin?
Looting other people's supplies to enrich themselves is not what they are best at, nor is it the leg they like to use the most. It just makes the conqueror's army larger in size now.
"After the meeting, their first mission was to clearly inform all front-line commanders that their migration target was the Battle Valley in the valley, and let them use all methods to unite the hearts of all immigrants.
Let them avoid all kinds of temptations from the outside world and follow the army unswervingly until they reach their destination." Veranika suggested on the side.
For her, the destination is also not important, but the process and the strategic plan implemented in that process are most important.
Now their big migration involves far more things than they imagined.
Not only the God of Strategy Yin Hong Knight Diandong paid great attention to it.
Shanda Keer, the god of travel and exploration, followed them like a shadow and paid attention to their every move.
Regardless of whether it is a large-scale road opening or a migration, it is still a kind of glory for him, which can greatly enhance his divine power.
"This should have been the case a long time ago." General Copperfield nodded in agreement, "Whether that matter was their mistake, they should have made it clear from the beginning. Only then would it be convenient for the front-line commanders in the east.
Get to work."
"Generals don't need to blame themselves. After all, did they cross the river by feeling the stones? Did they consider everything to perfection? Moreover, did the entire army look the same every day? Before setting off, they didn't think that not only could they destroy
A troll kingdom can easily build two cities belonging to them.
Unexpectedly, they had only gone halfway, and the migrating army was called the army of conquerors.
Maybe the Dragon Coast will be their new place of transformation, allowing their strength to reach a new level. To what extent it can be achieved, we have to wait and see what strategies and tactics they will adopt when coming east."
Gavin smiled and said, "If no one puts forward any counter-arguments, their overall strategy on the Dragon Coast is to unite all the forces that can be combined to support their own agents, carry out industrial layout, and do their best to
It draws population and wealth there.”
The brainstorming process also helped Gavin clarify his thoughts. He originally misunderstood the strategic layout of Dragon Coast, but it was not as clear as it is now.
At least when he received the Ivanso envoy and the Avengers Resistance envoy alone, he didn't hesitate to deal with the problems in that city.
Everyone whispered among themselves and reached a consensus on that point. If they didn't want to send troops there on a large scale and get themselves involved in the quagmire of the war, then this was the best strategic method.
"Since we all agree to implement that strategy, let's talk about where they should start to search for wealth? How to better encourage the people in the Gulf to join their migration team?" Gavin set the tone eastward.
Later, the detailed plan for the east side began.
"There is nothing better than a glorious victory to demonstrate one's strength. The victory they achieved on the other side of the Giant Plains was more than five hundred kilometers away from there. The news on both sides was inseparable, and it was impossible to
The different races, the humans there, don't feel as deeply as they expected, and that can be seen from the way they treat them wrongly."
The first person to speak was none other than Bloodsworn Warlord Thomas. He was the youngest member of the army of conquerors and was of a different race, so he was the most active and actively displayed his talents in an effort to win a higher status for himself.
"Ivanso is not their best intervention point. The special nature of their current rulers has made the people of Dragon Coast feel that even if they are not on their side, at least they will not be on the wrong side. Please ask them for help.
If you can remain neutral enough, it will be beneficial if you make mistakes."
"Who said people's hearts are not on their side?" Carissa, whose strategic views were recognized, her self-confidence has been improved to a certain extent, and she once again made suggestions, "The super powerful plague virus they have in their legs is a double-edged sword.
sword.
Even if it is a powerful weapon used against the enemy, it also has super lethality.
Just ask the other cities on the Dragon Coast to reveal the plague virus they have. Even if they don't gather together to besiege, people's hearts will be biased towards them.
After they brought Ivanso east, they handed it over to the local rebels to rule. This was done to show that they were not upholding justice and righteousness. I believe that this would win them a wave of goodwill, and they could also take the opportunity to take advantage of Ivanso.
The key to this war is public opinion. As long as it is done well, they will have won half the battle."
