Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 146 - 114: Reassurance Pill_2
Chapter 146: Chapter 114: Reassurance Pill_2
Gaven understood everything as soon as he heard of Calsa’s identity.
What War Mage of Komeer, the War Mages of Komeer, there’s no such thing as retiring. Once a War Mage, always a War Mage.
Especially those not enlisted in the regular War Mage ranks, who often hold greater power because they are likely to be entrusted with special missions, such as serving as spies for the Yasan Kingdom. The current reigning old dragon of Komeer Kingdom is quite fond of this espionage drama. In every city of Komeer, whether overtly or covertly, there are many of his spies and scouts.
Karasa is probably a planted clear piece in Abel, and many are well aware of it.
Bede chuckled, "It’s not that I’m particularly capable, but rather that Brother Gaven’s ideas have moved Mr. Karasa. I just copied your analysis, and immediately, Master Calsa’s attitude underwent a complete turnaround.
He even said he wanted to meet with Brother Gaven himself, whether Brother Gaven goes to Abel or he comes to Blackwell."
Although there are courtesies involved, I think it’s necessary for Brother Gaven to personally make contact.
I believe that with Brother Gaven’s skills, winning the master’s approval is not a difficult task, and if you can take this opportunity to gain the official recognition of Komeer, it will provide more security for your actions in the Rocklands."
Although Bede didn’t say it, he does take his own affairs and those of Blackwell seriously, judging by the timeline, he basically had no time to go elsewhere and has been running between Abel and Blackwell.
Though the interest involved far outweighs the emotional factors, that in itself is a success, or rather, the reliability of the former far exceeds that of the latter.
As long as I can ensure his interests in Blackwell, his enthusiasm will always remain robust.
Gaven paced back and forth, nodding, "This is indeed a very important lead. Now that we’ve connected, we mustn’t sever it, but as for meeting, it’s still too early.
He promises me freedom to act in the Rocklands because he values the potential for creating greater benefits for Komeer.
If I can achieve this, I won’t need to look for them; they will come to us on their own.
And if I don’t, even if I try to approach them, it will just be a case of unrequited interest."
For now, his promise alone is sufficient; at least the Red Crow Mercenary Brigade won’t cause trouble.
But since he’s made a promise, we should give them some dividends.
So, next, I’ll have to rely on Uncle Bede’s Thousand Chief Commerce Assembly to expand and forge a trade route to Abel, to Komeer, transporting a portion of the iron ore there. For the iron ore headed in that direction, I will give a five percent discount."
Komeer is a leg that Gaven will embrace sooner or later; as long as the old dragon of Yasan is still there, the Purple Dragon Kingdom remains the invincible great tree in this region.
The plan for the following years all revolves around the military actions of the Komeer Kingdom.
The Rockland Baron also needs recognition from the other party.
But Gaven still has a sense of his limitations; don’t look at him as controlling nearly ten thousand Gnolls.
Er, of course, most are hidden, neither Eagle Cliff Burrow nor Pitfall Tribe is open to those merchants; they only know that Blackwell has hidden forces, but they don’t have a clear concept of the scale, estimating it only from the amount of grain transported, which is substantial.
Not to say that Gaven is deliberately hiding his skills; even without that, he’s just a minor player in the eyes of a big shot like Karasa, not worth the attention of a human village with a thousand people.
After all, the weakness of the Gnolls is deeply ingrained in people’s minds.
A few thousand Gnolls leaving Rocklands’ complex terrain would probably not withstand a charge from a Komeer Purple Dragon Patrol Team.
The Purple Dragon Legion of Komeer is world-renowned, deterring the entire Sea of Fallen Stars region.
A regular Purple Dragon Patrol Team consists of 40-60 cavalrymen of levels 3-4, a commander of levels 6-7, at least two priests, and a War Mage, along with several Mage Apprentices, with the commander typically armed with Magic Wands or scrolls like the Paralysis Staff.
Such a Purple Dragon Patrol Team has at least ten active squads between Abel and Tivandun.
Abel City itself is home to Komeer’s eastern army, with no fewer than two thousand troops.
And that’s not counting Abel’s own garrison and militia system.
In terms of land area, Komeer might not be larger than Thacel, but when it comes to governance, they’re not in the same league at all.
Komeer has been in a golden age for several centuries now. Even with continual minor disturbances, several kings have been quite wise, especially Yasan III, who has pushed the governance to an unprecedented peak.
Thacel, on the other hand, has been caught in half a century of chaos; the Royal Family is in name only, having entered an exiled state, with lords and warlords fighting for years, and most cities and castles becoming isolated, with Monster Tribes rampant and in need of revitalization.
Zalanda, with fifty Militia, leading thousands of people, rose up to seize a large city of tens of thousands; this was established under special circumstances. If it were in Komeer, a few Purple Dragon Patrol Teams combining forces could cripple it.
Bede, however, doesn’t consider as much as Gaven; the only things in his eyes are the Golden Lion and the silver eagle. He’s busily calculating in his mind, quickly estimating the profits from transporting iron ore to Komeer with Gaven’s discount.
