Chapter 917: Chapter 572 Disaster Relief is Like Fighting Fire_2

"Lord, rest assured," Kregi declared with unmatched confidence, "the storms at sea are far more violent than this, whether we speak of wind or water currents, especially since not long ago, I had just led multiple expeditions right here and got a clear and comprehensive understanding of the entire river. I can ensure their safe passage in and out of this area." He paused, then added, "I am willing to put my head on the line with a military order. If there should be a shipwreck due to command errors, you can take my head, my Lord."

"There’s no need for that," Gaven waved his hand and said, "I will assign several Mage Assistants to you, Staff Officer Oliela, and the six of you will fully assist General Kregi with this rescue mission."

The six Female Mages following behind Gaven bowed and accepted their orders.

Although there were a significant number of Gnoll Sorcerers in the new village, these conventional Human Mages had an easier time winning the trust of the disaster victims, whether due to their adaptability or their background.

"Thank you, my Lord," Kregi’s face betrayed his irrepressible joy, for he was well aware of the great help the Spellcasters could provide.

"Carry out the mission. Once you are ready, you needn’t report back to me; set out for the rescue immediately," Gaven commanded.

"Lord, we would also like to offer our modest help. Please allow our fleet to join in the effort," Avery, the Demi-Human village chief of Anbao Boat Village, stepped forward to volunteer.

"Can your houseboats withstand such turbulent river currents?" Gaven questioned, knowing that Anbao Boat Village on Yewen Pond tied a large number of houseboats together with chains to withstand the strong winds and waves.

"As long as the boats are moving, there will be no problem, especially when following behind the large ships. Compared to these longboats, our boats are smaller and draw less water, which actually gives us an advantage when entering flooded areas for rescue," Avery replied after careful consideration.

"Then let’s go together, but before saving others, you must first ensure your own safety," Gaven instructed.

"Don’t worry, we Demi-Humans tend to be a bit luckier than others," laughed Avery.

"May your Goddess continue to protect you as she always has," Gaven sincerely wished.

Demi-Humans indeed seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious luck, which often manifested not in comfortable life but in dire situations, sparing them at the last moment. After such strokes of luck, more often than not, the Demi-Humans would face new perils and disasters, a phenomenon humorously known as the ’Demi-Human’s Luck.’

Optimistic and pessimistic people had polar opposite interpretations of this phenomenon.

To the optimist, the meaning was straightforward: Demi-Humans were lucky to escape danger.

To the pessimist, it signified the imminence of peril and disaster; this was not about the Demi-Humans’ luck but their misfortune.

Evidently, Avery was the optimistic sort, as were most Demi-Humans.

"Thank you for your blessings, Lord," Avery expressed his gratitude before hurrying off, clearly ready to organize boats and manpower.

"Luna," Gaven continued his orchestration of troops, "run to Rose Tower as fast as you can and seek help from Ian Druid. Request his assistance in controlling the weather to subdue the weather over the disaster area, facilitating the rescue efforts."

"At your command." The centaur replied, then took to the air, transforming into her Half-Moon Colt form and sprinted towards Rose Tower.

"Chester, lead the Erde Drawing Team to map out the areas around Yewen Pond and the middle and lower reaches of the Ashaba River that are submerged," Gaven ordered in preparation for the future management of the Ashaba River.

Their Ashaba River Management Foundation had been established but had yet to begin practical operations. They were waiting for the rainy season to bring the river to its peak state, which would enable a proper assessment before the groundwork began, to avoid futile efforts.

From the current situation, it was clear that Gaven and his team’s prior caution was justified. One could not imagine that the Valley, usually blessed with Favorable Weather, could also have such a Berserk side, and that the water level changes could be so drastic.

"At your command," Chester readily accepted the order.

Among the captured mercenaries was a third-rate painter who had been hired to teach the Erde group how to draw, and with their innate talents, they quickly became adept at mapping the terrain. Chester was especially talented among them, and such skills were meaningful only when they were fully utilized.

Once Gaven had arranged all matters, Regina approached with an invitation: "The help we can provide is ultimately limited. The most important thing is for the people of Feather Wing Valley and Tillage Valley to help themselves. I plan to go to Feather Wing Valley and Tillage Valley immediately to engage with the local magnates and elders, to mobilize manpower for self-rescue and to expose the Sambiyan Merchants’ Conspiracy. My Lord, would you like to join me? I believe they would be deeply grateful for everything you have done for their valleys."

Regina’s intention was unmistaken - she wanted to use this event to strengthen Gaven’s relationship with the current ruling class of Feather Wing Valley and Tillage Valley and to increase his influence there.

Strictly speaking, she was not Gaven’s subordinate. On the contrary, as the Battle Valley Princess, she had more say in many of the valley’s affairs than Gaven.

However, since the Fairy Midsummer night, their relationship had remained quite ambiguous.

To call them friends would be an understatement; for every call from Gaven, she responded eagerly, even more invested than in her own
