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 Blood Claw. Bloodclaw was determined to show off the abilities of himself and his troops in front of the new lord, and used what he had learned throughout his life to the best of his ability. Ten kilometers is not far or close. It actually 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. Gavin led 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 blazing fire broke out. 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 was a common occurrence. It won't take long for these warriors , you will be reborn in the kingdom of God of 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. , like swallowing another world. This jackal formed by 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 for the longest time. It made many people's nerves rise involuntarily and they clenched their weapons. The attack they feared did not happen. This was just an illusory shadow formed by a mass of black mist, and it was 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 accepted this vague explanation, understood it, and 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 pointed 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 harmed 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, they will all have to rely on the dragon oak collar for support. It might be a way to disperse them and place them in Heijing Town and Yingya Town. But Gavin was a little reluctant to give up, especially with the support of the True God's Blood Oath. Of course, the most powerful force is concentrated together. Gavin thought about it and said with a faint 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." While the two were chatting and laughing, an agreement had been reached. Gavin pulled out a dagger and quickly drew a simple map on the mud. He pointed at a point and said, "Even if you are guarding the house, you don't have to put it so close. It's best to find a place to set up camp at this point." The map Gavin drew was simple enough. A straight line running through the east and west, with the high road marked on it. To the north of the high road, there are three black dots in a line, which are written as Pit Town, Black Well Town, and Eagle Cliff Town. To the south of the high road, right below Black Well Town and Eagle Cliff Town, it is written as Lake of Tears Valley. And the point he just pointed out is on the high road, and is almost equidistant from Black Well Town, Eagle Cliff Town, and Lake of Tears Valley. Before Lord Virginia could speak, Gavin explained the reason himself: "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, it will inevitably face a pincer attack. If it attacks here, it will face a three-sided siege. This is the first reason. Second, the convenience of supply. In the later stage, not only the three towns can support this military town, but part of the food from the high road can be directly transported here. After all, there is relatively little arable land in the Spring Bud Forest. The supply provided by gathering alone is quite limited. One Eagle Cliff is already difficult enough. Adding a military town, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand this pressure..." Gavin paused slightly and said: "If you consider opening up a few large farms in the Spring Bud Forest, I can consider putting the general town in the Tears Lake Valley." Lord Virginia rolled his eyes at Gavin and said: "If If I dare to issue such an order, thousands of elves will come to my door tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will go to the Fairy King's Court. I will not be the lord for long. By then, the speed of opening large farms will not be as fast as the speed of destruction. You thought of opening farms in the Fairy Wilderness. " "This is not a joke, it's a joke!" Gavin laughed awkwardly, knowing that his joke was not in the right place, and hurriedly got back to business, "Third, with them here, the safety of the high road entering the rocky land will be greatly improved, and the road construction plan can be put on the agenda."
"It sounds like a good place." After listening, Lord Virginia had to nod, "But in this way, you have a little more construction points. Can your dog-headed people handle it?" Count carefully, there are quite a lot of large construction sites in the Dragon Oak Territory. The paving and repair of the high road sections from the Dragon Oak Dragon Nest, Eagle Cliff Town, and Black Well Town, and now another military town is on the agenda, not to mention the subsequent high road maintenance. Gavin sighed and said, "Painting on a blank piece of paper, you can only rely on your own hands for everything, but there is one advantage, that is, you can have fun. Once you succeed, you will also gain a lot. Let's go and meet my future general." The future general Gavin mentioned is naturally Blood Claw. Seeing Gavin and Virginia approaching him, Bloodclaw hurriedly came forward and knelt on one knee and said, "Bloodclaw, I meet the leader. Thank you for not holding grudges and extending a helping hand." "Get up, get up and talk." Gavin smiled as he helped the earth elf warlord who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, level with him, and said, "Seriously, this is not the first time we have met." The serious earth elf warlord couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face at this moment and said, "Leader, you recognized me." "Fate, it can only be called fate." Gavin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that after going around in circles, we actually became a family. The Black Death has done all kinds of bad things in other things, but in this matter, he has made a great contribution. Tell me about your experience after leaving the Black Well!" "As you say." Bloodclaw briefly recounted what happened after he led the Bloodclaw tribe into the migration state. It can only be said that the luck is bad and the year is not favorable. Just as he was about to rise up and eliminate his long-time enemy, the Pit Tribe, he encountered the rising Black Well Tribe. After entering the migration state, he just opened up a little situation with his superb command and the ability of the Earth Wolf Cavalry. He ran into the Black Death heading eastward, barely withstood the impact of the vassal soldiers, but failed to resist the rampage of the crazy gnolls and could only be swept away. Just as he won the position of the vassal leader among the Black Death with his own intelligence and the mobility of the Earth Wolf Cavalry, he ran into Gavin's Dragon Oak Leader again. But this time, he made a wise choice and did not fight Gavin to death, but ran back and stabbed the Black Death in the back. Blood Claw is also a talent. It can be said that he is indomitable. No matter what bad situation he encounters, he never gives up, but strives to move and strive for greater power and living space for himself. In the past three months, he has been solid, tempered by blood and fire, and has grown into a qualified Earth Elf warlord. If Black Well had faced the Blood Claws of today, Black Well would have become history. Of course, it is not only the Blood Claws that are growing. Gavin's growth rate has also shocked Blood Claws. This is just the tip of the iceberg he has seen. If he had seen the full picture of Dragon Oak Leader, he would definitely shout that he has made the wisest choice in his life. "Thank you for your hard work." Gavin wanted to pat the other party's shoulder, but it was too much trouble. He could only pat the other party's arm and said, "This army will be led by you for the time being. Pack up all the supplies that can be taken away from here and take them away. I will arrange a new station for you." "Yes, sir." Bloodclaw responded loudly, full of energy. These were thousands of strong earth elves. As long as he was given enough supplies and time, he could build a powerful iron-blooded army. This was his biggest dream in this life. With the True God's Blood Oath, many things were much easier. When Gavin used Bloodclaw, he didn't have to be suspicious or worried, at least before the other party faced the temptation of a greater punishment than Magrubit. Bloodclaw didn't have to worry that Gavin would harm him. Although the True God's Blood Oath had no binding force on Gavin, no lord, especially those ambitious lords, could refuse the loyalty of a group of powerful and loyal soldiers.
