Chapter 274: Chapter 218 Three Choices (End of This Volume)_4

Some highly valuable goods are produced there; for instance, Xinli Frankincense is burned during meditation and quiet contemplation to help concentrate better and memorize spells.

If we could secure this line, the output of the Enorok Great Desert could flow continuously into the Rocklands, providing us with new trade points and even revitalize the border area of the Rocklands and the Enorok Great Desert. We could engage in activities such as planting and camel breeding, among others.

Most importantly, the Blackroute that runs north to south is the lifeline of the Santarin Association.

"If we could take this opportunity to disrupt or even sever it, it would be a fatal blow to the Santarin Association."

Gaven had a lifelong grudge against the Santarin Association, and he would never miss a chance to strike at them.

Lord Virginia had just finished listening and couldn’t help but shake his head, saying, "That sounds very promising, but where is the entry point? How do you plan to subdue those desert tribes? Most importantly, this place surely doesn’t produce grain and even requires a significant amount of food for sustenance."

"So, I have dismissed this target, at least for now." Lord Virginia’s words were something Gaven had already considered; Gaven’s finger moved over to the eastern edge of the Rocklands and circled around Tivandun, saying, "This is the second target, the Red Spring Reclamation Area. In name, it belongs to the Rocklands, but the terrain is flatter and has a vast amount of land suitable for cultivation. Just developing this area would easily support the entire Rocklands."

"But?"

"However, Komeer hasn’t had this place for long, has not yet managed to develop it. It’s a classic case of vast land with sparse population, with very few proper villages; I can’t possibly go farming with a bunch of Gnolls, nor would a group of the Fae Race go unnoticed.

Moreover, the Red Crow Mercenary Brigade has already set their sights on this place, and compared to them, I’m at a severe disadvantage when it comes to connections with Humans."

Lord Virginia didn’t respond as promptly as before but asked, "What about the third target?"

Gaven’s finger moved eastward, following the Moon Sea Road, arriving just below the Kosoman Forest, and said, "Valley, Battle Valley. This place is land of the four battles, facing erosion from Sambia. It’s also sparsely populated and has a lot of barren farmland.

The most important thing is, the rule here is quite lax; Lord Ilmes is a military warrior, more of a soldier than a Ruler, with very weak influence. Here, there are not many political constraints to deal with."

The downside is also obvious: though there’s a direct route to the Rocklands through the Moon Sea Road, spanning over half of Kosoman, it’s six or seven hundred kilometers. Even if large plantations were expanded here, transporting grain would be quite troublesome afterward.

Having few political constraints also means that we can only rely on ourselves for safety. The merchants from Sambia are like a pack of hyenas, they rush in recklessly at the scent of money."

"You already have made your choice, haven’t you?" Lord Virginia said with a smile.

Gaven was momentarily startled, "Made my choice? How so? I wasn’t aware."

"You don’t like being constrained by others, just as before, when there were so many places to choose from, you specifically chose the Rocklands. To you, the biggest problem with the Red Spring Reclamation Area is not what you’ve mentioned, but that here, you will be subject to the restrictions of the Komeer Kingdom, this behemoth, which will affect your performance. You want to break free from here..."

Before Lord Virginia could finish, Gaven pounced on her, giving her an intensely passionate kiss, saying, "I hadn’t realized that the person who understands me best is you. You’re right, I indeed have already made my choice, and now I know what to do next."

Stirred into action, Gaven clearly wouldn’t be satisfied with just a kiss, and in the end, it came down to a Fairy fight.
