Chapter 1165 Surprise

As ideas change, the way of doing things is also changing quietly.

This matter is not contradictory to the Goliath people's change of customs, but even complements each other.

If it were normal, the implementation of many plans would encounter many obstacles, even if it was something that seemed to be beneficial to the entire tribe and even the entire Goliath people.

Because there are vested interests among them, those chiefs and battle captains, they control the right to speak in the entire tribe. If the tribes gather and merge on a large scale, they will become one of many chiefs and battle captains, and their voices will be greatly weakened.

However, the disaster in front of them forced them to bow to reality. No matter how powerful their military force is, they can't create food for their people to survive the winter.

Kailisha, who controls all the living supplies of Misnoel, is equivalent to strangling their lifeline, forcing them to obey her orders, including forming a Goliath regiment.

Kailisha knew the principle of gradual progress, and did not tighten the rope at the beginning, asking them to do too much, but actively encouraged them to rescue the Goliaths who were hit by the disaster, and in the process, she subtly organized and changed them.

Once large-scale militarized management began, many things would be beyond the control of the chiefs and battle captains.

This was also a test for Kailisha by Gavin. If she still couldn't unify these Goliaths after he paved the way until now, it meant that her ability was problematic, and she had to reconsider pushing her to be the Goliath Queen.

…

Gavin, who teleported away from Misnoel, did not go directly to Dalaoma City, but teleported to the edge of the Mir Forest, transformed into a giant eagle, and made a big circle from east to west.

Hearing is false, seeing is true.

He was going to see the actual results of Zalanda's rule in Dalaoma City directly.

The background at this moment is very similar to the situation when Gavin left Tesser and headed north - both were when the monster tribes in the mountains poured out in large numbers and caused chaos everywhere, and the roads were filled with people who took their families to the city of Dalaoma to seek refuge.

The only difference from three years ago was that these refugees were no longer fleeing like headless flies, but were moving in a rhythmic manner. They could be heard singing loudly, praising the beauty of life and the wisdom of their lords and city lords.

Their retreat was obviously planned and organized.

What really made them feel at ease should be the cavalrymen who went upstream and headed to the front line.

Although their number was not too large, with only a few hundred people at the smallest and only a few thousand at the largest, no one doubted their combat effectiveness.

Not only did they have super military appearance and discipline, but the armor rate reached a terrifying 100%, either capable and swift light cavalry, or fully armored heavy cavalry, and so on.

The only thing in common is that their shield emblem is a square shield with a red knight chess piece on it.

This is the symbol of Zalanda Star Rhineton, the lord of Dalaoma.

These new armies, armed with the dwarf armor of the Colossus City and armed with the strategic thinking of the strategic lady, are an all-round dimensionality reduction attack against the monster army that emerged from the marching mountains.

Gavin looked at the overall situation in the air and saw it particularly clearly.

These scattered knight groups seem to act alone, but in fact, they are connected and coordinated with each other.

Blackwing Kobold Aerial Scouts, Shadow Liaison Officers and Strategic Priests are their standard equipment.

Either joint encirclement, direct charge, driving everywhere, or luring the enemy deep.

They formed a constantly moving line of defense, leaving those monsters no chance to invade the hinterland of Dalaoma and pose a threat to it.

The monsters in the mountains did not consciously launch the invasion, but were also victims of the fire. They were forced out and had no preparation for the invasion. Their combat effectiveness was pitifully low - they had no food, no weapons, and their morale was extremely low.

Seeing this, Gavin knew that there was no need to continue the inspection.

His previous worries were completely unnecessary.

The current Dalauma is not the Dalauma of three years ago, and Zalanda is not the Zalanda of three years ago.

After three years of development and construction, Zalanda has taken root here, and everything around it has changed dramatically.

Dalauma is no longer an isolated city, but with as many as eight satellite towns as its center, three of which are old expansions, and the remaining five are all newly built and are still in the stage of large-scale construction, with construction sites everywhere in full swing.

The busy farming season is over, and now is the time for manpower to be free. The Kingdom of Tesser is located in the south, on the edge of the subtropics and close to the tropics, with a short and warm winter, which does not hinder various constructions.

With these satellite towns as boundaries, there is still a hint of war outside.

Once you get inside these satellite towns, you can't feel it at all, as everyone is busy with their own things in an orderly manner.

The fields are dotted with paddy fields, and the fields are full of rice stalks.

The main food of the Kingdom of Tesser is not wheat, but rice. It has always been known as a land of fish and rice.

From south to north, there are the Surdasken River, the Is River and the Agis River, which flow through the entire kingdom from east to west. Water irrigation is very convenient, and surrounded by mountains, it blocks most natural disasters.

With three crops a year, the grain output is very high.

During its peak, the Kingdom of Tethyr was the largest food exporter in the surrounding area.

This is why it has the largest population in the surrounding area despite its small land area. Even though the political situation has been in turmoil for nearly half a century, it is still the most populous country in West Feren.

The most abundant thing here is population.

For two consecutive years, Gavin has moved nearly 200,000 people from Dalaoma through the Conqueror's Road, far exceeding the total population when Zalanda took over the city.

However, the population here has not decreased at all, but has increased sharply.

The expansion of Dalaoma has never stopped. It is still overcrowded, with a large number of temporary tents. The residents coming in and out are pale and thin.

At first glance, you can tell that this is not a local resident of Dalaoma, at least not a resident who has lived there for more than half a year.

Because for more than half a year, basically no longer need to live in tents, and the body is also conditioned by sufficient nutrients. There is never a lack of job opportunities here. As long as you are a little more diligent, you can at least fill your stomach.

This is full of endless temptation for the people of Tethyr who have suffered from the devastation of war and plunder.

In the first two years, only those who lost their homes and land were forced to migrate to Dalauma in the hope of finding a way to survive.

In the past year, many people with family businesses have sold their family businesses and migrated here.

Although the matter is one thing, the meaning it represents is very different.

This represents the reputation of Dalauma and the recognition of Zalanda's rule.

Although the population of Dalauma is large, everything is in order, especially in front of the city lord's mansion.

Although pedestrians are not prohibited here, passers-by who come here will involuntarily lower their voices and cast respectful eyes to it, as if they are afraid of disturbing the rest of the owner here.

When a ruler can really love his people like his own children, his people will naturally give him the greatest respect in return.

Gavin couldn't help but think of the last time he came back, he really made a mess here.

Looking back now, his behavior at that time was somewhat childish and had a show of skill.

Now that he has a stronger power, he disdains to play this trick. He honestly communicates with Zalanda telepathically and asks her to send someone to pick him up.

It was just that he waited for more than half an hour before he saw a familiar figure flapping his wings and falling from the sky. At the gate of the city lord's mansion, he turned into a tall and beautiful girl of a foreign race. She had a pair of horse ears and a three-color ponytail, and dragged a white ponytail that swayed back and forth behind her, looking left and right.

Gavin took the initiative to appear from his invisible place and greeted: "Luna, long time no see!"

The other party was none other than Luna, the half-moon colt who had been his mount for a while.

It's just that his growth rate is too fast. When the various flying species he transformed into have a flying speed that exceeds that of the half-moon colt, she naturally has no place to use her skills.

In the previous contact, the half-moon colt was impressed by Zalanda's personality charm, so he took the initiative to resign from Gavin and stayed by her side as her exclusive mount.

Gavin would not refuse. Now it seems that the other party is not only a simple mount for Zalanda, but also a messenger.

"Lord, you are really back." The horsewoman Luna's face was full of surprise. "You are back at the right time. If you come back a few days later, you will miss it..."

Half Moon Ju hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. It was a close call. She almost let it slip.

"What did you miss?" Gavin raised his eyebrows involuntarily. "What are you hiding from me?"

He couldn't help but think of the strange expression of Flancinni when she passed by Dalaoma.

If one person is like this, it is a coincidence.

If both people are like this, it is not just a coincidence.

Half Moon Ju's big eyes rolled around, and she laughed and said, "It's a surprise. Ms. Zalanda didn't let me tell you. You will know it yourself later... I will take you to the lady..."

As if she was afraid that Gavin would continue to ask, she quickly changed back to her original form, flapped her wings, and flew out of the city.

"What exactly is the surprise?" Gavin followed Half Moon Ju and asked.

Read the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar published this novel for the first time.

He didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

"Oh... it's a surprise... it's not a surprise if I say it out loud..." Half Moon Ju hesitated and tried to get rid of Gavin at full speed.

But Gavin's giant eagle was too fast. Even if she activated her signature ability, Natural Sprint, it was still useless. The opponent seemed to have no strength at all.

This was a naked flying crush.

The familiar feeling of powerlessness emerged in Half Moon Ju's heart again. In the field that she is best at, being crushed by an outsider will give rise to this feeling.

She took the initiative to resign from Gavin and ran to Zalanda's side because she couldn't stand this feeling of powerlessness.

Whether it is her own strength or means, Zalanda is not as good as Gavin.

But Zalanda has an advantage that Gavin does not have, that is, a sense of existence.

Gavin is too dazzling. Next to him, other people are like stars, dimmed and almost invisible.

Zaranda will fully tap the strength of the people around her, let them shine, use their own light to illuminate her, and become a part of her light and power.

They were flying fast and their destination was not very far away. Without giving Gavin any more chance to ask questions, the Half-Moon Horse fell to the ground.

The destination they landed at was a simple monastery. Judging from the shape, it was a bit old, but it had the symbol of the strategic lady on it. There was a small but extremely elite group of soldiers guarding the place.

Surrounded by dense paddy fields, it is as warm as spring, and the rice inside is green and grows extremely luxuriantly.

No need to ask, this must be the land of good weather and synchronic blessings in Zalanda's book of strategies for using sub-artifacts. The output can be maximized, not three crops a year, but four crops a year. The yield per mu is extremely terrifying. .

A piece of land covering only a dozen square kilometers can produce enough food to feed a city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

This is also Zalanda's greatest confidence. With this support, she can be bolder and more radical in some measures to attract more immigrants.

Naturally, this place has become a sacred place for Ms. Strategist, a heavily guarded area.

Under the leadership of Luna, the half-moon horse, Gavin had an unobstructed flow in this monastery, but Gavin, who had extremely sharp facial features, picked up all the whispers around him.

"It's the First Lord Knight, our First Lord Knight is here!"

"He is the First Lord Knight? The brilliance on his body is really dazzling. No wonder Ms. Zalanda is so devoted to him and desperately gives birth to a child for him."

"Is he the father of the children? It's so irresponsible that Ms. Zalanda showed up when she was about to give birth! Scumbag!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that the First Lord Knight was performing a secret mission for the lady. He was not in the material plane at all. He still doesn't know about Ms. Zalanda's pregnancy!"

"It turned out to be the mission of the lady, so it's no wonder. Alas... The lady's kingdom is still in a state of lockdown, and there is still no news coming out. I don't know how the killing souls are digesting."

"No news is the best news. We have to believe in the lady. She will definitely be able to completely digest those powers and use them for her own use!"

Pregnant? Giving birth?

These two words made Gavin's head buzz and his steps became a little wobbly.

Zalanda is pregnant? Going into labor soon? Are you going to be a father?

This matter was not in his plan at all, and it was also an extremely unfamiliar thing. Even if he was reborn several times, he would not have the chance to become a father.

No wonder the legendary arcanist Filancini looked so weird before. She was not jealous and made a fuss with him, which was enough to give her face.

But having said that, the women he has a close relationship with are all equally smart people. In fact, they all know that the other exists.

It's just that in their eyes, love is just a condiment, not the focus of their lives. Career and belief are, and they don't have the energy to be jealous.

They are more likely to argue over interests than feelings.

Gavin has always maintained a very good balance in this area. They all have their own territory and development direction. The opportunities for cooperation with each other are far greater than those for competition with each other.

With all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, Gavin followed Luna into a master bedroom. Zalanda was wearing a loose home clothes, lying half on the bed. Her belly was like a ball, bulging to an exaggerated degree, and she was pointing at Gavin. Wen smiled and said, "You're back!"

The beautiful face, without makeup, seemed to exude a faint maternal radiance, and she stretched her body as if she wanted to stand up.

At this moment, Gavin's restless heart suddenly calmed down. Isn't this exactly what he has dreamed of?

Gavin's figure flickered, and he appeared directly next to Zalanda, holding her hand and saying: "Don't move, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

"It's not too late, it's just right. You can at least watch them being born." Zalanda said calmly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Otherwise I would have found a way to come back!" Gavin, on the other hand, was full of complaints.

When he was in the Abyss, he was disconnected from the material plane for no more than two months, but he didn't receive any news.

"Not many people know about this matter. I had been using illusions to disguise myself before, and it was I who asked them to block the news." Zalanda said with a smile, "I'm telling you, in addition to increasing your pressure and affecting your judgment, Otherwise, it won’t be of any use. You can’t do this for me!”

"Let's get married!" Gavin blurted out.

"No!" Zalanda refused without hesitation, "I didn't give birth to them just to tie you up. Neither you nor I are bound by this kind of restraint. There is no need to put shackles on ourselves to stay the way we are now. That’s good.”

"But……"

"It's nothing." Zalanda had no intention of discussing this issue with Gavin in depth. "Tell me, what happened in the Marching Mountains? Don't tell me, this is your fault again!"

The other party's appearance of not being bound by the love between his children made Gavin a little at a loss as to what to do. This was a bit too open-minded.

Then again, in fact, the moral values ​​that have always bound Gavin do not belong to Faerun, but to the flower growers.

Many times, he cares about tangled things, which are common in Faerûn and no one takes them seriously.

This is the case where one is responsible for enlarging a person's belly.

Having a child out of wedlock is not a shameful thing in Faerun. It is common among the gods, let alone the mortals. Even if Zalanda is a city lord, this will not have any impact on her. In fact, the people in the territory are happy to see it happen.

Because it means the continuation of bloodline, represents inheritance, and is related to the long-term stability of a territory.

"This is really not caused by me. I just happened to be there. It was caused by the biggest Pasha Pisakar of Calinshan..." Gavin recounted the details of what happened in the mountains. (End of this chapter)
