Chapter 1568: Chapter 789: Stirred by the Wind
“This does not require the great chief to worry, I already have a special handling method. You only need to help me gather vehicles, the more the better.” Gaven did not explain further.
Because without seeing it firsthand, ordinary people find it difficult to believe in their expertise in road construction.
The roads in Felen are generally bad, which is not exclusive to the west coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars; the Eastern Desolation is no better, including the so-called Golden Road that supposedly flows with gold.
Astute Gaven, how could he not be prepared?
His Gnoll Road Building Team is on the way, arriving tomorrow.
“We will do our best.” Duis assured, patting his chest.
For the Brotherhood of Sword Spike, who have controlled the City of Usmer for years, this task is a piece of cake. Not to mention hiring, even forcibly requisitioning, those truck owners dare not utter a word of dissent.
“The matters concerning warehouses and loading/unloading also cause the great chief worry.” Gaven smiled, “As for the share of the loading/unloading personnel expenses…”
“Of course, all will be waived.” Chief of Sword City saw it through to the end, “From now on, anything related to resistance military supplies will be protected by our Brotherhood, exempting all shares, to further express our sincerity, our Brotherhood will ten tons of sea salt and ten tons of salted fish as supplies for the frontline.”
“Good.” Gaven gave Duis a thumbs-up, “The great chief is generous, I can’t fall behind. When repairing the Grand Road, I will pave your City of Usmer’s roads together.”
He doesn’t care if the other is truly generous or just putting on a show, he started to promote his road construction business, anyway, if he wanted to transport his grain out, a road has to be built.
“Thank you.” Just like anyone hearing Gaven’s promise to pave roads for them for the first time, the Chief of the Sword Spike Brotherhood’s response was very indifferent.
Because in his view, so-called road paving was merely filling the potholes temporarily, and once heavy rain poured, the trucks once packed with goods would weigh down on it, and it wouldn’t take long before reverting back to its original state.
After discussing the cooperation project with the Brotherhood of Sword Spike, Gaven turned his attention to the Laiserman Fang Chief, “Chief Patralem, this also can’t do without your help.”
“If you need us to do anything, just say so, Commander.” Fang Chief is now respectful to Gaven, for once the grain is transported to the frontline, it would make him a benefactor to the entire Laiserman Kingdom.
“I need you to help contact your kingdom’s high-level officials, inform them of the situation here, if possible, please send a troop to escort.”
Although we are located in the rear now, to defeat you, the evil Red Robe Mage of Ser stands firmly with Tukan invaders, their spies are all over Felen, certainly unable to hide from their eyes.
They are likely to send spies or small elite troops to sneak over and attempt to sabotage and destroy our grain.”
Once the grain is ashore, Gaven cannot leave easily, preventing unforeseen circumstances. In this world of magic, too many ways exist to destroy grain.
“It’s only natural, I will personally make the trip.” Patralem nodded solemnly.
“Then I am troubling you, Chief.” Gaven expressed gratitude.
“It’s what I should do.”
With common interests, the trilateral talk went smoothly, everyone avoided mentioning the previous dock brawl, as if it never happened.
Each acting individually, the whole matter proceeded extremely smoothly and efficiently.
In just one day, the Brotherhood of Sword Spike gathered nearly four hundred trucks for Gaven, naturally, there were few heavy trucks, mainly lightweight ones.
A workforce of nearly a thousand dock handlers rotated, in just one day and night, five thousand tons of grain were all loaded into the warehouses actively provided by the Brotherhood of Sword Spike for storage.
The news of large quantities of grain arriving spread like wings, instantly throughout the Eastern Desolation, causing ripples in the previously stalemated war.
This is a border city.
Located in the Great Valley, at the junction of Cesk Kingdom and Laiserman Kingdom. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
Normally, this place is key terrain of strategic importance, but it so happens that the three countries it’s located in are not particularly aggressive.
Thus, its past trade role far exceeds its military one, with thriving commerce here.
In the past, the Nafir Barbarians to the north, residents of the Great Valley, Laiserman Berserkers, and Cesk merchants used to gather here often, exchanging what they have.
Now, it has turned into a huge military camp, with endless rows of low Laiserman tents, out of sight, filled not only with noisy human voices but also a mix of beast roars.
The Laiserman use this as a gathering spot, regrouping their army, relying on Lake Asen to form a second line of defense.
One who has not personally visited the Laiserman Kingdom cannot imagine the complexity of the terrain here.
This kingdom is not only mountainous but also rich in water.
Its entire east is wrapped by the high Sunrise Mountain Range, while its west and south are enclosed by the extensive Lake Asen and Mosantiel Lake, only the north connects to the relatively flat Northern Highlands and Endless Wilderness, which is precisely the direction from which the Tukan Army infiltrated into the Laiserman Kingdom.
Now the Laiserman Kingdom and Tukan Army are confronting on two lines.
