Over the past year or so, despite being as restrained as possible, Blood Gorge City’s developnt rate has been remarkably terrifying. The number of Hobgoblins has exceeded 100,000, with nearly 5,000 large Hobgoblins and no less than 300,000 Goblin vassals.
They are now well-known, not only attracting Hobgoblins from the Giant Plains and the surrounding three major mountain ranges, but also from further regions, where those having a difficult ti are gradually migrating here.
Hobgoblins are famous for their all-militant society; everyone can join the battle except for infants.
Yet, Blood Gorge City didn’t do the sa; instead, they organized a main battle legion like humans, leaving the rest for the reserve corps that focused on economic developnt.
Blood Gorge City currently has six Blood Oath Legions, each with 5,000 people, led individually by six Blood Oath Warlords.
Although their numbers seem small, they are all top elites, each clad in customized Dwarf Heavy Armor.
The source, of course, is the resurrected Colossus City, producing steel and equipnt daily in astonishing quantities.
As the backbone force deterring petty threats, the Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City are naturally prioritized in armant.
Blood Gorge City has traditional Hobgoblin Wolf Cavalry, usually clad in scale armor, equipped with longbows and long knives, predominantly functioning as light cavalry for reconnaissance, raiding, chasing, or harassing.
They also have heavy armored cavalry similar to humans, in which they possess a significant advantage.
The Giant Plains produce not only Hobgoblins and beasts larger than those elsewhere, but also incredibly fearso heavy armored knights as a result.
However, compared to the real specialty of the Giant Plains, these ordinary Hobgoblin Heavy Armored Knights seem less impressive.
Those large Hobgoblin Heavy Armored Knights riding colossal warhorses average over five ters in height; just standing in rows, they create a striking visual impact, let alone when thundering in a charge.
The six Blood Oath Legions pour into the Giant Plains, carrying only a small amount of military provisions, clearly prepared to provision from the enemy.
After more than half a year of recuperation, most monster tribes on the Giant Plains have regained so vitality.
In the face of such large-scale warfare, they cannot stand aloof and must choose sides.
Either assist the Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City in attacking the Jackalwere Queen or beco the vassals of the Jackalwere Queen, joining her army to jointly resist the terrifying Hobgoblin Heavy Cavalry.
When Blood Gorge City’s Blood Oath Legions approached the Jackalwere Queen’s territory, their force was no longer 30,000 but 100,000.
All monster tribes responding along the way were integrated into their Vassal Corps.
A war storm, sweeping across the Giant Plains, is imminent.
...
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
The tiline has to be drawn back to when Katherine had just parted ways with Blood Claw.
After leaving Blood Gorge City, Katherine, aboard her Shadow Flyer, headed straight for Colossus City.
Along the route was a bustling scene of endless traffic, countless colossal beasts hauling heavy wagons back and forth, and nurous gathering points under construction along the path. So were part of Colossus City’s unified plan, while others were independently initiated by rchants with a head for business.
They were easily distinguishable.
The forr busily involved either Gnolls or Shield Dwarfs, with humans becoming the rare guests.
The latter, however, were primarily human-based.
Regardless, one thing was certain.
These gathering points are the future towns’ prototypes. Judging by the current bustling trade route, in three to five years, they will tamorphose.
The pursuit of a better life is human instinct; places where comrce flourishes naturally provide more opportunities.
Dwarf steel ingots and Dwarf weaponry and armor from Colossus City are absolute hard currency, highly sought after wherever they go, primarily among cities like Amu, Thacel, and Giant Dragon Coast.
The demand exceeds supply; intending to make a bulk purchase requires not only money but also solid connections.
After all, whoever holds this hard currency can gain the local dominance.
anwhile, Colossus City, whose ancillary facilities are not yet fully established, relies largely on external sources for various living materials. Despite their utmost efforts to expand, this situation will continue for a long ti.
Because their expansion rate is even faster.
Not only due to the number of Gnolls and Shield Dwarfs migrating upon hearing the news but also because Gnolls breed profusely.
With ample nutrient supply, those female Gnolls lay eggs in clutches like hens, hatching them in groups.
When Katherine arrived in Colossus City, her ears were filled with the multitude of puppy yelps, and her eyes took in various Gnolls.
There were Black-winged Gnolls with ebony dragon wings, Great Gnolls comparable in height to Hobgoblins, Dragon Vein Gnolls capable of exercising spell-like abilities, and countless newborn little Gnolls.
In terms of air defense, Colossus City and Blood Gorge City are not comparable.
Katherine’s Shadow Flyer was detected and targeted before being within ten kiloters of Colossus City.
When she was three kiloters away, a group of Flying Dragons fiercely approached, led by one with striking black wings.
