Chapter 1114: Chapter 638 Godhood Segment

"What is the next plan, my lady?" Gaven asked.

Katherine stayed with the Conqueror Army mainly to assist planning the Ascension of the Goddess of Strategy, not only mobilizing the Red Falcon Knights but also deploying the entire Yin Hong Covenant to this end. Now that the task has been successfully completed, it’s naturally time for their massive withdrawal from here.

The Lady of Strategy, proficient in scheming, knows well the wisdom of not putting all eggs in one basket. Even if the Conqueror Army is powerful, it cannot gather all its believers on this front.

"I will leave behind one hundred Holy Strategists for you, under the leadership of Veranika they will break away from the Yin Hong Covenant and formally join the Conqueror Army. It is entirely up to you whether you use them as mid to low-level officers or establish your own Ladies’ Order," Ms. Katherine clearly had everything planned ahead.

Although Gaven had been partially selected by the Lady of Strategy, it had not been announced, so they were in a partnership.

Whether it’s Veranika or those exclusive sacrificers to the Lady of Strategy, they are temporarily lent to Gaven. Their departure depends solely on the needs of the Lady of Strategy; they might never leave, or they might pack up and leave the next second to carry out more important plans of the Lady of Strategy.

The moment the Lady of Strategy publicly declared Gaven as her third Chosen, the situation immediately changed. Now under the same large system, their relationship has become closer. For the Lady of Strategy, they will cooperate with all their might to ensure victory, such as this time’s Ascension.

However, once this mission is complete, they will separate again and become independent entities. This is determined by the statuses of Katherine, Zalanda, and Gaven. Theoretically, they are equals; even Katherine, as the first elected, only has the power to advise, not command.

Together in war, apart in peace.

This will be the future development model of the Disciples of the Lady of Strategy. In fact, this is not unique to her; most deities follow a similar model but even more dispersed, with local development in the form of churches predominantly in cities or even individual churches, rarely spreading across nations or continents.

This is due to the relatively loose organizational model of the church and the city distribution resembling that of the Felen Isolated Isle.

"Thank you for your assistance, my lady. I will try to revere Your Majesty in my own way and carve out our own path," Gaven already had his thoughts on this matter. He definitely wouldn’t establish a special church for the Goddess of Strategy, let alone a specialized church. As a God of War, isn’t a military academy her best church? Aren’t fortresses her best temples?

As for preaching, like the full-scale plans of the Conqueror Army, full-scale military drills, full-scale planned production, full-scale educational plans, and so on, when planning, scheming, and tactics are integrated into business, production, learning, etc., is there a need for additional preaching?

At that time, everyday preaching, everyone a believer, would truly be the supreme state of faith.

"My assistance is not without cost, I need to borrow soldiers from you," Katherine did not beat around the bush, speaking straightforwardly.

"Borrow soldiers?" Gaven asked in surprise, "Does the lady have a war to fight? How many soldiers do you need?"

The Fortress of Strategy in the Land of Death was not too peaceful, but it was adjacent to one of Felen’s biggest cities, Baldur’s Gate, and there were no significant threats in the vicinity.

"Not war soldiers, but your road-building militia," Katherine stopped speaking in riddles, "I plan to follow in the footsteps of the Conqueror Army, traveling back to the Fortress of Strategy. I want to open a path from Skloubel to Eliaba that fully connects to Trade Avenue, then double to the main commerce route from Elturel to Baldur’s Gate."

The Goddess of Strategy’s first Chosen, stimulated by both Gaven and Zalanda—who have risen to power later with tens of thousands of troops and civilians under their control—was still stuck guarding a castle less than half rebuilt.

Zalanda’s city-holding model couldn’t be replicated, but Gaven’s method of expanding influence through rapid road construction was worth considering. For only with roads could they leverage their military strength to impact and spread the faith to more people.

However, her method of road-building differed from Gaven’s path of migration. She would center on the Fortress of Strategy, crazily spreading the network outward, making full use of existing roads.

Limited by her current region, the Fortress of Strategy couldn’t expand to the north in the short term, but there was a huge space for development to the east and south. This area, mostly ruled by monsters, provided the Goddess of Strategy—now affiliated with the War God Faction—an advantageous battlefield for spreading her faith.

Moreover, geographically advantaged, if well-developed, it could synchronize with Gaven’s deployment in the Goblin Margins and Giant Dragon Coast, forming one unified front.
