784: Chapter 529: Comprehensive Cooperation_3 784: Chapter 529: Comprehensive Cooperation_3 The two had just agreed upon is nothing more than a general direction for cooperation and the most significant deals involving their interests.
When the true expansion begins, the trade points between them are sure to be much more nurous than these.
For example, the giant livestock produced in the Giant Plains are not found in Ruitawen City.
Once they’ve witnessed their hauling power, they will surely be tempted.
For example, the equipnt worn by the Ruitawen Light Cavalry is sothing Gaven is particularly covetous of.
If the Hobgoblin Wolf Cavalry could also be outfitted with such gear, they would be ready for mixed use as a versatile military force.
It’s not about directly stripping the gear from the Ruitawen Light Cavalry, but rather about commissioning Ruitawen City to tailor-make their own sets.
The likelihood of mass equipping through external purchases is low; it’s more probable that Ruitawen City has its own production line.
Even if they resort to external procurent, it would be temporary and in small batches.
Whether for the sake of cost, safety factors, or to avoid manipulation, these items must be developed and produced in-house.
These detailed and trivial transactions are to be handled by the local representatives, who will gradually discuss with their counterparts in Ruitawen City to form stable cooperative relationships and patterns.
This is not sothing that can be achieved overnight but requires ti to develop.
On the tenth day after the battle, Gaven returned to Blood Gorge City with Shanoba and her Black Wing Guard.
“Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that just half a month ago, this place was a wasteland occupied by an Orc Tribe,” Shanoba couldn’t help but exclaim, “Every ti I follow Lord Gaven, it feels like a dream, because the changes of a lifeti often happen in just a few days.
It’s a pity that in the future, such opportunities will be far fewer.”
This heartfelt sigh ca from a realization that her life could be divided into two phases.
One was before she t Gaven, and the other after eting him.
Although the ti of the latter was only about one-twenty-fifth of the forr, the magnitude of change was completely reversed; the latter was dozens of tis greater than the forr.
Now, recalling her ti at Rockland Old Axe Village feels like a distant past, rather than sothing that happened just over half a year ago.
The cause of her sentintality wasn’t solely due to the new transformation at Dwarf Statue City, but also because of the impact of the construction status of Blood Gorge City.
From an aerial view looking down, the visual impact was particularly strong.
The entire Blood Canyon had been cleared out, leveled into a super-gigantic square covering more than ten square kiloters.
Rows of caves were inlaid on the surrounding blood-colored mountainsides, dense and nurous, like beehives, impossible to count at a glance.
The terrifying speed of construction and the innovative thods of building had given the city an initial outline; what remained was the slow process of decorating and maintenance.
“On the contrary, you’ll be spending more ti following in the future, not less, distance is not a problem at all.
You have several dragonized Gnoll Sorcerers with teleportation abilities under your command, and I am relying on you to form a powerful Air Force, ready to be called upon at any ti,” Gaven couldn’t help but glance at the Black Wing Guard standing behind them; all of them were Great Gnolls that had undergone dragonization.
Influenced by Shanoba, they had grown black dragon wings similar to those of flying dragons, and their tails had beco like those of dragon stingers, also with a toxic attack, albeit weaker compared to Shanoba and the real flying dragons.
Whether it was their tall and robust stature or their newly ford stingers, they had gained a combat ability stronger than that of Erde, and combined with the tactic of crashing psychic bullets, this would further compensate for the lack of aerial combat forces.
“Lord, you have laid such a solid foundation for , if I can’t achieve anything substantial, I would be too ashad to face you,” Shanoba patted her full chest, promising, “Next, I plan to take advantage of the montum to march into the Giant Run Mountain Range and excavate all the Gnolls there, adding them to our ranks.”
“Our reputation has already been established, especially since your Special Ability is very beneficial to the Gnolls.
So, when you’re unifying other Gnoll tribes, you might consider changing your strategy a bit.
Don’t follow the example of the Dragon Oak Territory, moving all the Gnolls to Dwarf Statue City, but instead collect tribute directly from those Gnoll tribes, bestow Dragon Blood Potions, and then hold Dragonization Ceremonies.
I believe with this combination of blows, no Gnoll will be able to resist your Charisma.
Then you take the opportunity to help these Gnolls eliminate their competitors around them, allowing them more living space.
What happens next, I need not say more, right?” Gaven took the opportunity to guide Shanoba.
Nothing is ever set in stone, especially when circumstances and abilities differ.
Shanoba and her Dwarf Statue City need not strictly imitate Dragon Oak Territory.
Gaven’s concentration of population was mainly for his convenience in mass mobilizing Gnolls for his use.
On the other hand, Shanoba would in this place carry out proper rule, gathering all the Gnolls in one city would not be as efficient as spreading them over a large area of land for self-sustained reproduction and faster growth.
Even if in the future, he really needed to mobilize Gnolls from Shanoba’s side, he would only call upon the Elites, not the ordinary ones.
Shanoba was smart on her own, and in recent days she seed like soone whose governor and conception vessels had been opened up by Gaven, with all her skills greatly improved.
Following Gaven’s train of thought, she continued, “In that case, those Gnoll tribes would essentially be transford into Gnoll Villages loyal to the Dwarf Statue City.
By then, Dwarf Statue City would not be an isolated city, but a Gnoll Kingdom with extensive Gnoll allegiance.
The process of self-developnt and expansion of those Gnoll tribes would also be the process of the expansion of our power.
We must encourage those Gnolls, in my na, in the na of the Lord, to undertake large-scale amalgamation and expansion.
We could even draw Elites from those Gnoll tribes to join Dwarf Statue City, no, not draw, but treat joining Dwarf Statue City as a privilege, where they will gain greater strength, more resources, and in the future, even connect with Dragon Oak Territory, sending the elites of the elites to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to receive a more sacred baptism, leaving their own Soul Totem on the tree.”
By the end, Shanoba’s eyes were shining because she clearly felt that the situation she described was no longer rely the expansion of a city but the expansion of a kingdom.
And it wasn’t a distant dream, but sothing within arm’s reach.
