Chapter 1414: Chapter 738: The Hidden Treasure of Colossus City

On one side, there were the Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City.

On the other side were the Beast Demon Tribe, and several Orc and Troll tribes from the northern Giant Plains, willingly becoming its vassals to avoid the fate of forced annexation.

Lastly, there were the other tribes of the Giant Plains united together.

After lengthy negotiations, the three parties reluctantly reached a consensus.

Blood Gorge City would cut back two grazing areas closer to the middle of the Giant Plains, retracting its forces to the southern part of the plains in exchange for a promise that the Conqueror Path would remain an absolutely neutral zone. All Monster Tribes not only cannot attack here but are also responsible for ensuring that no wild monsters do so. Whoever’s territory has a problem will be held accountable.

The Beast Demon Tribe’s Wuerkrna achieved its desire to expand rights in the northern part of the Giant Plains, at the cost of submitting to Blood Gorge City, playing by their rules, and most importantly, paying tribute: each year, either one person or one warhorse, or two cattle, or ten sheep per individual.

The remaining dozen Monster Tribes then clustered in the central region of the Giant Plains, becoming a buffer zone between the two forces. From the beginning, they had no choice; their weakness was their most fatal weakness, and they could only be coerced by the two major forces, compliantly following their arrangements.

Otherwise, their fate would be as tragic as those Monster Tribes not present; although they didn’t participate in the Great Tribe Meeting of the Giant Plains, their destiny was already decided, and they were completely divided by the attending Monster Tribes.

The Great Tribe Meeting of the Giant Plains was convened under the banner of peace, but three days after its conclusion, the flames of war swept across the entire Giant Plains.

All Monster Tribes were fully motivated, expanding like mad. This Great Tribe Meeting made them deeply understand a truth: everything else is illusory; power and strength for themselves and their tribes are the ultimate paths.

The current peace is only an illusion. Everyone is preparing for a larger war, when the time comes, what awaits them will be extermination.

If they don’t have even this bit of awareness, there is no need to wait for the full outbreak of war in the Giant Plains; they would have already been annexed and devoured clean.

The only one to achieve peace in this process is Blood Gorge City. They not only obtained peace but also gained many benefits. The tribute for this year, no matter what, these Monster Tribes have to pay.

Anyway, these livestock don’t need to be paid by themselves. They can all be extracted from those annexed tribes, and it’s not too heartbreaking. At most, the profits from annexation wars have decreased slightly.

The Great Tribe Meeting represented a strategic tactical shift for Blood Gorge City, from directly starting wars in the Giant Plains to trading and manipulating wars there, making the situation follow their will. This is a sign that they are gradually gaining a foothold here.

From start to finish, Gaven was merely an observer, neither letting the Cloud Manta descend nor showing up personally. They were simply passing by, and their destination was Colossus City.

Regarding the information provided by Shanoba, Gaven took it very seriously. They once again invited the Legendary Blacksmith Giharin for a detailed survey, confirming the accuracy of the information.

Indeed, there was a Dwarf iron production line beneath Colossus City.

This fundamentally changed the nature of things, making Gaven determined to gain control of the underground territory.

Although he had reached a cooperative relationship with the wandering Dwarfs of the Tesser Yama Mine, before actually launching the recovery war for the Tesser Yama Mine, such cooperation was mostly in trade. At most, it provided priority and certain discounts in some transactions, but it was not free.

This provided Gaven with a stable channel for purchasing a large amount of intermediate-low-level equipment.

However, this approach is ultimately not a long-term solution.

Weapon equipment is the critical lifeline of all forces, and it should never be handed over entirely to others.

To develop and grow, independently researching and mastering its own iron and steel production and equipment manufacturing lines is the ultimate path.

If Colossus City can achieve automated iron production and even equipment forging, the significance is clear for all to see.

At the very least, the Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City would have stable equipment support, laying a solid foundation for the next step of completely unifying the Giant Plains.

The Conqueror Army could also arm more elites.

Moreover, the amount of steel used in construction is even greater. Whether using the Stone Shaping Spell or bio-cement, if steel load-bearing columns are added, the strength and construction height of the buildings would be greatly improved.

In short, the importance and priority of this matter were directly raised to the first place by Gaven.

He had not yet taken action only because he was waiting for the intelligence from the Shadow Wing Special Task Force.

Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will emerge victorious in every battle.

This mode of thinking about war, rather than saying Gaven was influenced by Lady Strategy, is more accurately described as Gaven forcefully incorporating the ancient kingdom’s knowledge inheritance into Lady Strategy’s Divine Position and Godhood.

For this enemy who does not yet know of his existence, if Gaven does not bring this calculated mentality to the extreme, he would have been in vain.

This Shadow Wing Special Task Force is quite effective, taking merely five days to maneuver underground to the Giant Plains and bring back the intelligence Gaven needed.

"Beneath the Giant Plains, there are large areas of upper and middle Dark Domain, many connecting the Troll Mountain Region and the Giant Run Mountain Range. We found three such passages, all located in the middle Dark Domain."
