Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539
He wouldn’t easily change his development plan for an ancient figure from three hundred years ago.
The timing to unify the Valley is not yet ripe; for this to succeed, it requires the harmony of timing, advantages of terrain, and human resources—all of which must be in place. Missing any one of them could lead to following in Anka and Lord Lashan’s footsteps.
Timing refers to the grand situation on the entire Felen Continent, necessitating a completely unified Valley.
Advantages of terrain imply that the three major external forces obstructing Valley unification—the Sambiyan Kingdom, the Santarin Association, and the Komeer Kingdom—must be so embroiled in their own issues that they can’t interfere. Having just two in such a situation is sufficient, but if all three are , that would be ideal.
Human resources involve Gaven possessing unparalleled influence and connections in the Valley, surpassing even Anka.
Frankly, Gaven lacks all three elements right now, and even the last one is not yet fully established. He only has minor fame in those Valleys he has direct or indirect interactions with, like Battle Valley, Mist Valley, Deep Forest Valley, Feather Wing Valley, and Tillage Valley—still far from commanding widespread support.
Valleys like High Valley, Bow Valley, Taser Valley, Shadow Valley, Dagger Valley, and Scar Valley, which have yet to intersect much, likely have only heard of him. Even with Anka’s inheritance blessing, the impact will be quite limited.
Three centuries is a long time, even for those of the Everlasting Kind, let alone humans, these Short-Lived Races, for whom it’s enough to pass down for many generations.
There are many times when legends remain as legends; how many people truly believe them?
Relying on a legend passed down for hundreds, even thousands of years to rally others is the kind of unrealistic fantasy found only in novels.
In reality, those who respond will likely be few, treating you as a delusional enthusiast.
But if you already possess extraordinary status and fame, and then don the mantle of legendary tales, it would be like being gilded, making you shine brightly and maximizing the tale’s value.
"You are as calm and rational as ever. I think the same way." Regina’s beautiful eyes were full of cunning. "But we can build momentum early, just like what we did before in Darama. Through subtle hints, rumors, and speculations, we’ll deeply implant the seed that you are the Heir of Anka’s Will in the hearts of those Valley People. When the blessings you create for them nourish the seed, it will grow. When the timing is right as you said, everything will naturally fall into place."
As always, Regina started from her area of expertise.
She didn’t think as deeply as Gaven. Recently, she had reaped the sweet benefits of publicity and instinctively wanted to maximize its advantages.
"Ladies in this aspect have thoughts that are consistently professional and unique." Gaven seized the opportunity to extend an olive branch. "However, our previous cooperation was too limited, and our future plans are not just for one town but for the entire Valley. We need to integrate all forces together.
Therefore, I hope to invite the lady to join our ranks.
I’m preparing to establish a propaganda department to ensure that the internal ideological construction is synchronized with our territory’s development. At the same time, we need to launch an external propaganda assault, allowing more people to understand us, be willing to cooperate with us, and join us, achieving the goal of victory without battle.
Among all the people I know, the lady is the most suitable candidate."
The migration journey of the Conqueror Army is drawing to an end, but their steps to take root in the Valley and build have only just begun.
Though Gaven intends to maintain the complete composition of the Conqueror Army, the management model will inevitably differ from the originally pure militarized management, evolving into a semi-military, semi-territorial form. When it finally transitions to a territorial model, that will be the moment they truly take root.
At that time, all aspects need transformation and further perfection. The propaganda department is just one of many conceived departments he envisions.
"It’s a bit too early to discuss this matter now." Regina revealed a mysterious smile. "Do you think Anka’s Will is just that simple to get Anka’s recognition?"
"Are you suggesting that Anka still has an inheritance?" Gaven asked suspiciously. He thought Anka’s Will referred to this piece of Ancient Inheritance Equipment and the warnings about the Dragon Sorcery Sect.
Regina did not answer, instead asking: "Do you still remember the rumors outside about Anka Estate?"
"Whoever gains Anka’s Will becomes the true owner of Battle Valley and the new Lord of Battle Valley..." As Gaven spoke, he couldn’t help but stop, showing incredulity in his eyes and asked with surprise, "Are you saying that Lord Ilmet is prepared to cede his Lordship position to me?"
Seizing the position of Lord of Battle Valley is indeed Gaven’s first step towards unifying the Valley.
But a plan is just a plan; in this matter, he found himself in a bit of a dilemma. Although he wasn’t particularly close to Lord Ilmet, he was in frequent contact with Regina.
His rapid development in Battle Valley was significantly supported by their tacit consent and assistance.
When Gaven was entangled with the Sambiyan Merchant’s disputes, Lord Ilmet silently stood behind him, helping him withstand some of the pressure, and at least didn’t use the Battle Valley Lord’s identity to cause him trouble.
Duke Weizemay’s status was even granted by the other side.
In the absence of obvious errors, overthrowing him would amount to insubordination and set a bad precedent for the entire affair. Follow current novᴇls on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
But if the other party actively cedes the lordship to him, that would be a different matter altogether.
