Give a very simple example.
Originally, everyone was in a large pond (the concentration of elements in the entire environment was the same), but the Kingdom of Ser started from scratch and built its own kingdom into a circular reservoir, pumping up the surrounding water and giving priority to Use it yourself.
While the water level in the big pond became lower, the pool in the Kingdom of Ser became higher.
When it is windy or rainy and the small pool in the Kingdom of Ser overflows, it will have little impact on itself, but its surrounding neighbors will suffer.
This is just the simplest metaphor, and the elements involved are far more complicated than this.
For example, if you want to permanently change the environment, you must have a source of power.
Using regional magic circles to absorb surrounding elements is a relatively conventional method.
There is another trick, which is to directly connect to the elemental plane and guide the purest elemental power there for your own use to achieve the goal you want to achieve.
Compared with the former, the latter has the advantages of low cost and quick results.
The disadvantage is that the introduction of a large number of elements will more easily cause an imbalance of elements in the material plane and cause elemental disasters.
The Leatherman Kingdom's introduction of a large number of elements into the totem demiplane is not in this category. It is a demiplane independent of the material plane.
According to the profit-seeking nature of the Kingdom of Sayre, they must have adopted the second method in the Kingdom of Sayre.
As long as you can make sure you maximize your profits, it has nothing to do with them whether it is the quality of your neighbors or the protection of the natural environment.
“Is there a permanent solution to this matter?” Gavin asked humbly.
"Destroying the Kingdom of Ser and destroying their magical agriculture on the Ser Plateau will solve this problem once and for all." Wind Spirit Witch replied without thinking.
"Haha... the witches really know how to joke." Gavin laughed loudly as if he had heard a big joke, "This is something that the witches have not been able to do for centuries, and I How can He De do this? "
Although these Haslan witches are unwilling to admit it, it is an indisputable fact that the red-robed mage of the Seer Kingdom is stronger than them.
In the war between them and the Kingdom of Sayre, they have always been in a passive defensive state, rarely attacking.
This was despite the fact that the Kingdom of Ser had enemies everywhere and was experiencing brutal internal fighting.
As long as they unite a little or reach some kind of internal deal, it will be the beginning of disaster for the surrounding neighbors.
Judging from the current national strength displayed by the Kingdom of Ser, the only ones who can destroy them are themselves.
The greater the pressure from the outside, it will only force them to be more united internally, making them stronger.
“What we can’t do may not be something that Commander can’t do.” Wind Spirit Witch said meaningfully.
The Haslan Witch Council gave Gavin the fattest part of the Tukan trophies, and sent Clont and Ashanas to him.
Nature has its own interests to consider.
They wanted to make it into a sharp spear to deal with the Kingdom of Cyre.
As for whether he will fight against the Kingdom of Ser as they wish, there is no need to worry about this at all.
Even without the previously established friendly relationship, the greedy nature of those red-robed mages would push him into opposition.
Unless Gavin is willing to accept the manipulation and oppression of those red-robed mages.
Gavin just said haha and did not answer the Wind Spirit Witch's words.
Because there is no right answer to this kind of topic.
If you act confidently, you will easily be evaluated as arrogant.
If you show too much cowardice, you will easily be disliked by these Haslan witches.
Wind Spirit Witch had no intention of continuing to dwell on this topic, and continued to make suggestions: "The easiest way to fight against a magic area is to establish another magic area.
Between the two After a new balance is reached, those excess elements will no longer flow in this direction.”
"I don't think so, but establishing a magic area does not happen overnight. You have spent nearly a thousand years in the Kingdom of Leatherman.
The Kingdom of Sayre has also been operating the Sayre Plateau for more than two centuries. After investing countless manpower and material resources, they still don’t have the ability to build a second Ser Plateau.”
Gavin sighed helplessly, compared to these ancient kingdoms.
His most fatal flaw is that his foundation is too shallow.
Many things require time to accumulate and are difficult to achieve quickly.
Talents of all classes are one of them, especially spellcasters.
The construction of this kind of magic area requires the assistance and maintenance of a large number of low- and middle-level spellcasters.
Ashanas's problem cannot be solved by building a few mage towers to guide the elements like in the Golden Apple Orchard.
If it were that easy, even if the Haslam Witch hadn't done it, those Sesk merchants would have done it long ago.
“There is another solution that treats the symptoms but not the root cause.” Wind Spirit Witch said again.
Gavin hurriedly asked: "What's the plan?"
"Build a wind tower in the south of Ashanas Plain, turn passive into active, summon the excess wind elements, bind and transfer them Let's go.
Although this cannot completely eliminate this magical storm, it can also greatly reduce its power. It won’t cause a disaster.
You can use conventional wind control measures, such as windbreaks.” Wind Spirit Witch told the truth
Gavin couldn’t help showing a hint of joy and said: “No. Do you know if the witch can build a wind tower? As long as you have it, the rest will be solved.”
For him, the windbreak will be a no-brainer.
There is no need to even spend time waiting for the trees to grow up. He can ask the Nature Guard Church to help solve the problem and drive an ancient tree directly from the Lesser Forest.
Breaking out wind and solidifying soil can also be regarded as protecting nature.
Those druids were not difficult to convince.
“The Wind Tower is not difficult to build. What is difficult is that this kind of tower requires someone who is good at manipulating the wind element in order to activate it. You can regard it as a special mage tower.” Wind Spirit Witch Of course, he can control the wind tower.
But she obviously wouldn't do that.
After all, this is a long-term job. Even in the Kingdom of Leatherman, they Haslan witches will not be easily tied down by such boring and tedious work.
"Is it possible?" Gavin directly showed the image of the storm body.
"An incomplete storm body? It's barely okay. It's still good for him to have him take charge. It can use those wind elements as food to strengthen its own elemental origin.
Although The quantity is not large, but the value lies in its longevity. Over time, it is still considerable.”
Wind Spirit Witch recognized the origin of the storm at a glance, and was amazed at it. This unique elemental creature was very rare even in the elemental plane.
Unlike those single elements, the storm body is a complex of multiple elements. It must be born in an extremely harsh environment and is usually difficult to replicate.
Gavin acknowledged this.
Because afterwards, Gavin invited Catherine to study the storm, simulate and recreate the original scene, and try to spawn more storm bodies.
The storm has shown great potential for warfare, whether it is air raid cover or air-ground coordinated support. In many cases, it can also form an army on its own, enough to destroy an army that lacks the protection of a spellcaster.
If it can be mass-produced, the potential can be imagined.
But unfortunately, they cast dozens of revenge storms one after another, and each time they invited Ms. Strategy to give her divine power, but they failed to spawn a second storm body.
Storm is obviously not as simple as obtaining a revenge storm blessed by divine power, as Gavin and the others originally speculated.
Or, it is related to the large number of souls who died on the battlefield. The large amount of soul energy that leaked out was subtly combined with elemental energy and divine power (this is an appearance that Gavin and the others lacked when they reproduced the experiment. in condition).
Or, the storm body itself still has the significance of witnessing, witnessing Ms. Strategy’s official deification. The law shock caused by this process is not comparable to ordinary divine power, and it will give many things unique meaning. .
Even many of the soldiers in that battle quietly completed their transformations. Afterwards, they developed unimaginable potential in aspects related to the Ms. Strategy priesthood, and their growth rate was frighteningly fast. This is one of the reasons why middle and low-level officers have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in the past six months under Gavin.
Although this is due to the large-scale promotion of Ms. Strategy's faith, there are thresholds for ordinary people to have several major vocations of Ms. Strategy.
It’s not just that you believe in Ms. Strategy, you can become an excellent strategic tactician. You also need to have the corresponding talents yourself - not only your IQ is high enough, but you also need to have enough adaptability.
For races with intellectual deficiencies such as kobolds or goblins, it is impossible to cultivate excellent strategies and tacticians. The price paid is definitely not proportional to the gain.
Since the Battle of Madam Strategist's Conferment of Gods, many soldiers in the conqueror's army have experienced an epiphany, and their strategic and tactical abilities have been significantly improved.
Gavin couldn't find a better explanation other than attributing this matter to Ms. Strategy's hidden benefits of becoming a god.
If it was just because of the war, Gavin still had options to think of.
The Battle of the Gods is neither too small nor too big. There will be no shortage of wars of similar scale in the future.
But if you are a unique witness, it will be more difficult. Such opportunities are rare.
But that doesn't mean there's no chance at all. He has several resources for becoming a god.
You can make preparations in advance to maximize your benefits.
Ten days later, Gavin secretly sent a group of four people led by Varro on their way to the Xianglong Dynasty to learn, no, to travel.
In addition to treating Anna, the priest, and Susie, the dragon-turned-kobold, Gavin also arranged for them an additional Xianglong guide, Bian Fusheng.
This man had a complicated background. Before he became a prisoner of the Tukan people, he grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. He not only herded cattle for the landlord's family, but also followed the unscrupulous merchants and even joined the border army. Guard the Great Wall.
But it didn't take long before he killed his commander and became a prisoner of death. After the Tukan invasion, he became a prisoner of war. Because he fought bravely and had a good mind, he finally led the army alone.
Needless to say what happened after that, he became a general under Gavin's account.
This kind of people are born for troubled times.
Gavin chose him to accompany Master Varro because he valued his complicated background. He was familiar with everyone in the Xianglong Dynasty and it was relatively convenient to do things.
As for his original status as a prisoner, he had already been wiped out with the invasion of the Tukan people.
Secondly, due to his origin, his sense of belonging to the Xianglong Dynasty is not that strong.
On the contrary, in the Far East Territory, here in Gavin, he received unprecedented importance and obtained many things that he had dreamed of for a long time, not only an official position, but also a home!
In order to allow these Xianglong people to take root here, Gavin has been actively planning for these Xianglong people to marry, have children, and establish new homes here.
Officers at all levels have the highest priority in this matter.
And Gavin really has a good matchmaking resource in his hands - the escort girls at Gowther's Mother's Happy Hall.
They have good looks and good skills, but their backgrounds are a bit humble. Under normal circumstances, wanting to marry into a wealthy family is basically wishful thinking.
But if they marry these Xianglong officers, although they are not from a wealthy family, they will have the opportunity to create a wealthy family of their own.
There is not so much free love in this world, especially when it is intertwined with rights and interests.
As long as Gavin feels that it is similar, he will directly grant the marriage.
So far, the effect is remarkable.
Most of the wives of those officers who were given marriages were already pregnant, and the children in their bellies were the real key to binding these Xianglong people - their clan values were very strong, and they would do anything they could to continue their bloodline.
Bian Fusheng is also a member of the ranks of those who are given marriages. He never thought in his life that he would have the opportunity to marry and have children. Even though he and his wife were different in appearance and living customs, he still accommodated her in every possible way. Consider it a treasure in this life.
Originally, Varro wanted to visit the Kingdom of Leatherman and experience the unique scenery where dreams and totems merge.
As a result, he was sternly rejected, even with Gavin's relationship, it was of no use.
This legendary archmage is already notorious, and the Leatherman Kingdom simply does not dare to let him peek into its territory and publish many of its kingdom's secrets to the public.
However, Witch Haslan allowed Gavin's armed cloud rays to enter the airspace of Leatherman Kingdom.
Gavin sent an armed cloud ray and sent their group into the endless wilderness, embarking on a road of investigation and travel.
……
Sesk Plain, Tukan Army Camp.
This is not so much a military camp as a huge formation.
The whole shape presents a huge circle, and then it is arranged outwards in circles.
The outermost layer is a relatively independent legion of ten thousand people, and from time to time, a group of Tukan cavalry will roar out of it.
From time to time, a group of Tukan cavalry hurried back, most of them carrying blood stains. Whether it was their own or someone else's, it was unknown.
The entire Tukan army is like a huge bee swarm, busy in order to support this huge group.
"I quit, I quit. Damn it, is there any fairness at all? I led people to work hard outside to collect supplies.
When you come back, will you feed me this stuff? Except for grass roots, they are grass roots. There is no oil or water at all. Even if you lie down and don't move, your belly will rebel soon, let alone go to war! "
A Tukan general threw out the rice bowl in his hand and roared angrily.
"Chief Hada is right. The food and meat we have worked so hard to collect, It's definitely more than that, where have they gone?"
"Look, how much weight have we lost since the Western Expedition? My belt has already been tied with two extra squares inside. If we continue like this, hunger will completely devour us and we will have no strength to fight the enemy. This place will become our tomb, and we will never be able to fight again. There is no chance to return to the prairie. "
"When exactly do we have to wait? This place has become a desert, and all the living animals within a radius of fifty kilometers have been eaten up by us. Every time we hunt, we must go to a place fifty kilometers away, and there are enemies' cold arrows and traps everywhere. There, we are the prey. ”
The food of a high-status Tukan leader was like this, but the food of ordinary Tukan soldiers would be even worse. The complaints and anger in their hearts had already accumulated to the top, and they were vented out along with the situation.
Suddenly, the military camp of ten thousand people was extremely noisy, and the crowd was filled with jeers.
"Do you want to rebel?" Along with countless angry shouts, there was also the sound of whips twitching in the air.
A killing lama in red robes walked out, surrounded by a varying number of Tukan people with red ribbons wrapped around their arms.
Their body shapes were in sharp contrast to the Tukan soldiers who were almost starving. They were all fat and strong.
These people are lama slaves and the private property of those killing lamas.
They will only obey the orders of the killing lama and directly ignore the Tukan leaders.
They are now in the Tukan army, and they also shoulder the responsibility of supervising the army.
It would have been better if they didn't come out, but once they came out, the conflict was further intensified, and the Tukan soldiers pointed their spearheads at them.
“It’s you who do nothing but take away most of the food. You are a group of greedy parasites.”
"Why, are you still planning to kill us all? Without us, who will parasitize you and suck your blood?"
"We are brave and fearless Tukan people, not your slaves. You can kill us all and sacrifice them all! See if Tian Khan will agree, and if the sword in my hand will agree!"
Those Tukan soldiers instinctively gathered around Tukan. Around the leader, hands were already on swords.
When there is a conflict between faith and survival and a choice is made between the two, most people will side with survival without hesitation.
Especially the Tukan people’s beliefs are inherently complicated and contradictory.
Because before they were unified by Yamen Khan, they were distributed in the extremely vast and endless wilderness, and many tribes had their own totem beliefs.
Only a small number of people turned to the arms of the killing Buddha.
When Yamen Khan rose, in order to control these Tukan people, he had to use the power of killing lamas to promote this belief on a large scale in the army.
Forcibly fuse them together for your own use.
In the process of barbaric development, Yamen Khan gave a series of privileges to the killing lamas.
For example, the power of life and death over ordinary Tukan people, and the right to select Lama slave soldiers from Tukan people, etc. (End of this chapter)
