Chapter 111: The Smoke of Gunpowder Begins
What happened in the outside world has nothing to do with Marven.
Although the legends on the panel soared, he had no time to watch these things.
Time is running out.
If his grandfather's news is accurate, there are only 7 days left before the cataclysm.
And there was so much he had to do in those seven days.
Repelling the army of the Union is not something to be proud of. After all, he just had a mind to calculate and not to have an intention.
If the alliance really regulates its morale and makes a comeback, Marven estimates that the White River Valley will not be able to resist it.
It's a pity that this era of wizard rule over the world is finally gone.
Otherwise he wouldn't be so extreme.
As soon as the war fought, the most refreshing thing about Ma Wenshuang was that the huge loans borrowed from the alliance one after another no longer needed to be repaid.
In fact, he didn't plan to pay it back at all.
All of these gold coins were converted into the construction of the White River Valley.
For example, the adventurer's camp - although many adventurers left the White River Valley on the orders of the Alliance, about a third of the adventurers decided to follow Marven.
Their reason is also very simple, adventurers are supposed to live a life of dancing on the tip of a knife, the strength of the White River Valley is very strong, if it really splits from the alliance, then Lord Marven is very likely to claim the king south of the Screaming Mountains.
In this new realm, they have more opportunities, and some of them may even be promoted to new nobles and get their due fiefs.
Although war money carries a lot of risk, the potential rewards are also very high.
They believed Marven because of this seemingly skinny teenager. So many shocking things have been done.
They felt it was worth the gamble.
Of course, there are also many traitors in the White River Valley who are mixed with the alliance.
But here's the thing. Marven didn't bother to investigate the moles one by one, everyone is not stupid. Truly useful information is not available to low-end adventurers. They can only follow Marven's command.
All in all, since these adventurers did not choose to leave, they chose to obey Marven's conscription order by default!
Marven's call order is simple!
In times of war, adventurers in the territory are scrambled into the army sequence of the White River Valley.
This qiē, unification is arranged by Gelug.
As the first group of adventurers to follow Marven, several of the Thorn Mercenary Group had a much more comfortable life, and everyone was almost a small leader.
As for Gru himself, it was because of his stronger command skills. He was promoted by Marven to be the chief swordsman of the White River Valley.
Specialized in the management of a temporary army of adventurers.
……
The original White River Valley Garrison was reorganized into the Lord's Guard by Marven, and it is still commanded by Andre.
These young men have all grown up very quickly, because they had the gain of the cultivation tank before, and now most of them have skills above the second order, and half of them are third-order powerhouses!
Although there are only more than 30 people in this group of garrisons, they are the most loyal people who directly belong to Marven.
Except for the original batch. The members recruited after that were all severely tested by Anna and Andre. Whether it is character, character or loyalty, they are all superior.
And during the time Marven was not in the territory, Daniela started her expansion plan early.
In Marvin's recruitment order. She also recruited members from all over the South, again on the grounds of wilderness.
At that time, the league and Marvin had not yet turned their faces, and this reason worked.
This batch of conscripts. All you pay for the Alliance's gold coins, but you get a group of well-trained soldiers.
In terms of numbers. There were about 300 of them. Most of them are unconcerned, or have moved their entire families to the White River Valley. They were the permanent army of the White River Valley.
This group of troops was led by Anna herself. Although Anna is busy with territorial affairs, her half-elf talent is very high.
Marven came back this time and found that his housekeeper was busy and had been promoted to the third order.
Although in the upcoming era when the gods are all over the ground and the legend is not as good as the dog, the third order is really a bit unsightly, but it has already made him feel very surprised.
What touched Marven even more was that Anna chose the second advance in order to complete the territory.
This time, she chose the [Legion Commander]. It is said that she hired an old man from a half-elf village at a high price as a mentor and often studied. Almost every skill or specialty of hers is a legion effect.
She completely sacrificed her personal ability and chose the governance of the territory and the command of the army.
It can be said that since Marven came to this world, Anna is the only girl who stands behind him, silently supports and makes sacrifices.
This half-elf girl was also the first person he saw when he came to Fernan.
Recalling the predicament they were in when they were at the Burning Horse Hotel, Marven couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and his nose was a little sour.
At that time, Marven was still weak and feverish, and Anna was by his side every night, and her eyes were firm in her eyes and said to him:
"Master Marven, it will be fine tomorrow, believe me. I'll definitely figure it out. ”
In a trance, Anna, who was burying her head in sorting out the essays, glanced up at Marven.
She saw Marven's brows furrowed, thinking that he was worried about the future situation.
The half-elf girl couldn't help but put down the Wen Jiàn in her hand, and said softly: "Young Master Marven, don't think too much, the future will definitely be fine." ”
Marven was slightly stunned, then smiled and said sincerely: "Anna, thank you." ”
Anna blinked, sorted out the rest of the text, seemed to want to say something, and finally hugged the wenjiàn and left Marven's study with a smile.
Marven sighed in his heart, he knew what Anna wanted to say, but the clever girl didn't say it.
She knew that she was carrying too many secrets, and many times, Marven clearly felt that Anna wanted to ask herself.
But she didn't ask.
She probably guessed something. Or didn't guess anything. But all in all, she is still supporting herself with practical actions.
So is Anna. The same goes for everyone else.
……
Marven rubbed his temples, now the White River Valley. It's no longer the same scale as it was at the beginning.
In addition to the adventurers, regular army, and lord guards, there is also a separate army of the Sands.
The village of the Sand is south of the White River and is nominally under Marven's administration, but Konstantin is their leader.
In the eyes of outsiders, this may be a hidden danger in the White River Valley, but Marvin believes in Konstantin.
Just as Konstantin believed Marvin.
The day after the end of the war, he arrived in the White River Valley with another group of Sha people.
He succeeded in persuading another tribe of the Sand to move to the White River Valley.
As a result, the number of the Sands south of the White River has reached 2,000, while the number of the White River Valley itself is about 3,000 - don't doubt that number. In Faynan, the rarity of the population is much higher than on Earth.
The territory of 5,000 people is already quite a large area.
In many parts of the North, this is basically the size of a principality.
Marven could declare a principality now, if Marven wanted to, with the support of Konstantin.
It's just that on the cusp of this storm, he doesn't have that interest.
All in all, the addition of the Sand people has no disadvantages for the White River Valley. Almost every Sand is a soldier.
Their firearms, though not very powerful, were more effective than the peasants. The only problem is that they are not good at farming. However, the food problem Marven has already solved it perfectly.
The Twelve Golden Bulls are the grain stored by the Cult of the Two Serpents to survive the cataclysm.
There was enough food in the Golden Ox to last at least two years for the people in the White River Valley today.
Two years later, the White River Valley should be self-sufficient.
Konstantin had a conversation with Marven, and this time, he didn't just bring the Sand people over. He also brought two of his friends.
One is a master dragon slayer, and the other is a master of potions.
These two people are both masters who live in the north without a fixed place, and I heard that there are quite a lot of dragon corpses here in Marven. Recently, there seems to be another sea monster, the corpse of Logan Arthur, and they have expressed interest. Under the seduce of Konstantin. Came directly to the White River Valley.
Marven naturally treated him as a guest of honor, and he even gave the necromancer Federer and the nameless alchemist excellent treatment. This kind of real master, Marven will naturally not let go.
In this way, at least in the two fields of alchemy and dissection, the White River Valley has its own real masters.
……
In addition to this, Konstantin brought another piece of news.
The legends who gathered in the White River Valley before have almost all taken care of their own affairs, and some legends who have no power alone may choose to join the White River Valley.
For example, Super Monk Inheim!
In the midst of the cataclysm, one person's force is strong, and there is no way to compete with the chaos of the whole world.
Many forces have extended olive branches to Inheim, such as the Migratory Bird Council in the north, which saved Inheim's life.
But according to Konstantin, Inheim is most likely to choose the White River Valley.
The reason seems to have something to do with the Elf King. More, Konstantin himself does not know.
And in the powerful legends, most of them will also choose to cooperate with Marven.
For example, Lorant the Celestial Deer, Marven once saved his children, and in the future cataclysm, he knows exactly what will happen.
Although the Sage Desert is part of the Alliance, as the belief of the Bai people, the influence of the Heavenly Deer is very important.
Once he makes a choice, the Sage Desert will be completely allied with the White River Valley. Further west, there is the rocky mountain of the three sisters.
If this alliance can succeed, then in the far south of the continent, a super league organization will appear.
Marven is looking forward to the birth of this scene.
And the old blacksmith brought him another piece of news:
O'Brien travels north to gather the scattered Nightwalkers, and he will return to the White River Valley before the Cataclysm with the last heirs of the Night King's will!
When Marven heard the news, his heart was about to explode!
Uniting all the forces that could unite before the cataclysm was exactly what he wanted to see.
And this scene is being realized step by step, although the gods have already shown their minions.
However, the people of the mortal world are not willing to become their slaves.
This is a war for freedom and dignity.
Although the flames of war have not yet been ignited, the smoke of gunfire has already risen!
…… (To be continued......)
PS: The outline and outline are all sorted out! Finally found the feeling! It may have been a bit of foreshadowing and transitioning lately, but the next plot is absolutely exciting!
