Chapter 1052: Chapter 617 Gaven Praises Achievements_2

Due to the differing intelligence and insight among individuals, their understanding of the same matter also varied.

Gaven and his associates often took for granted certain things that frontline commanders barely understood, let alone ordinary immigrants. It was now crucial to align their understanding, not only to foster further affiliation with the Goddess of Strategy but also to deepen their comprehension of her doctrines.

When he was giving the speech, a projection belonging to Gaven directly appeared above the Conqueror Army, visible and audible to all.

This was not Regina’s memory projection ability; it was a new skill exclusive to the Goddess of Strategy’s sacrificial rites—War Speech.

This was a new Divine Art of the Fifth Circle bestowed by the Goddess of Strategy a few days ago. It was a novel wartime application of phantom abilities. She had recognized how these innovations complemented her divine role and was actively exploring their applications—real-time phantom projections, which provided the basic assurance for precise long-range strikes and greatly facilitated the transfer of information, among other benefits.

If managed well, it could extend into informational warfare, creating an entirely new divine position.

If Gaven could think of such a thing, how could the Goddess of Strategy, a schemer and owner of the Planning Clergy, not think of the same?

She was ardently studying this area, likely not just her but other deities too, actively researching the use of phantoms to expand their divine domains. Compared to the mere absorption of followers, extending their divine domains was a quicker way to enhance their power. This had become a primary developmental direction for those with intermediate divine power, as advancing even one level in godhood required an astronomical number of followers.

This war speech was not only delivered on the Bridge of Human God but also simultaneously in Efanso, Blood Gorge City, Dwarf Statue City, Ruitawen, Darama, Dragon Oak Territory, Three Rivers Region, Mesnoel, and the Fortress of Strategy.

In Blood Gorge City and Darama, under the coordination of the Blood Claw General and Zalanda, a city-wide holy prayer ritual for the Goddess of Strategy was initiated, assisting her in preparing to ignite the Divine Fire and raise the Godrealm.

Darama, naturally, had replaced the Fortress of Strategy as the most central land of faith for the Goddess of Strategy.

Not only because the Goddess had once descended to aid the people there against the Divine Root. Not only because its city lord was now one of her Chosen. But also because it was where the Conqueror Army began. As the Conqueror Army advanced further and grew stronger, its influence widened, and with it Darama’s renown rose, reaping benefits.

Firstly, among the myriad strategic assets acquired by the Conqueror Army along their campaign, a portion was used directly, another supported the construction of Blood Gorge City and Dwarf Statue City, and the surpluses were reciprocated to Darama; honor was attributed to Gaven and Zalanda, while belief belonged to the Goddess of Strategy.

Secondly, as the Conqueror Path trailblazed by the army began to exert its influence, what traveled to Darama through this route was not merely goods from the city of Ruitawen. Instead, it included commerce from the entire Vihong Road, the Amm Kingdom, the Kingdom of Tumis, and Giant Dragon Bay, allowing a continuous stream of resources to flow southward. This road broke the economic embargo imposed by the noble warlords of the Thesser Kingdom, completely opening up Darama’s situation. Zalanda could then act unrestrained, boldly accepting refugees it previously dared not, swallowing lands it once hesitated to, and waging wars it had been wary of initiating.

In less than a month, the population the Conqueror Army took from Darama was not only fully replenished, but they had also developed up to three immigrant settlements along the 400-kilometer Conqueror Path between Darama and Ruitawen. The construction speed of these settlements, though naturally not as intense as Blood Gorge City when the entire Conqueror Army was devoted, was still astonishingly fast and superior to ordinary efforts, adopting the same multispecies collaborative model used by the Conqueror Army.

Their construction teams included the Dragon Vein Gnolls from Dwarf Statue City, skilled in tunneling and demolition; the Enlightened Trees, adept at moving heavy objects and hoisting, raised and promoted by Zalanda herself—an Extraordinary Druid of enlightenment; Druids, experts in handling various wilderness matters and proficient in shaping wooden items, typically led by one Extraordinary Druid accompanied by three to five Druid Apprentices; and craftsmen from humanity, skilled across various trades and able to address shortcomings.

In no more than a year and a half, Darama would no longer be isolated. Instead, it would possess its own satellite cities and hundreds of kilometers of strategic depth.

And all these honors naturally were dedicated to the Goddess of Strategy.

The Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City, under Blood Claw’s leadership, also turned to worship the Goddess of Strategy.

This did not conflict with the Great Power Maglubiyet, for he was their God of the Race. He created the Hobgoblin race, and even if all Hobgoblins no longer worshipped him, as long as they could develop and grow, he would not perish or weaken. On the contrary, he would become even stronger.
