Volume 3 New World Chapter 111: Gun Smoke Rising
Everything that happens in the outside world has nothing to do with Marvin.
Although the legendary level on the data panel continued to soar, he no longer had time to look at these things.
Time is running out.
If his grandfather's information was accurate, there were only seven days left before the catastrophe.
And during these seven days, he had so much to do.
Repelling the Alliance Army was not something to be proud of. After all, he had done it with intent.
If the alliance really managed to rally their morale and stage a comeback, Marvin estimated that the White River Valley would not be able to resist.
It's a pity that the era when wizards ruled the world is finally coming to an end.
Otherwise he wouldn't be so extreme.
Once the war started, the thing that made Marvin most happy was that he no longer had to repay the huge loans he had borrowed from the alliance.
In fact, he had no intention of paying it back at all.
All these gold coins were converted into the construction of the White River Valley.
For example, the adventurer camp - although many adventurers left the White River Valley under the order of the Alliance, about one-third of the adventurers still decided to follow Marvin.
Their reason was very simple. Adventurers always lived on the edge of a knife. The White River Valley was very powerful. If it really split from the alliance, then Lord Marvin would most likely become the king south of the Screaming Mountains.
In this new country, they have more opportunities, and some of them may even be promoted to new nobles and get the fiefdoms they deserve.
Although war profits carry great risks, the potential rewards are also very high.
They believed in Marvin because this seemingly thin boy had done so many shocking things.
They decided it was worth the gamble.
Of course, there are also spies from the Alliance mixed in the White River Valley.
However, at this point, Marvin was too lazy to check for traitors one by one. Everyone was not a fool, and low-end adventurers could not get the truly useful intelligence. They could only follow Marvin's command.
In short, since this group of adventurers did not choose to leave, they implicitly chose to obey Marvin's call to action!
Marvin's call to action is simple!
During war, adventurers in the territory disrupted the military formation of the White River Valley.
All of this was arranged by Gru.
As the first group of adventurers to follow Marvin, the members of the Thorn Mercenaries now have a much more comfortable life, and each of them is almost a small leader.
As for Gru himself, because of his stronger command ability, he was promoted by Marvin to be the chief swordsman of the White River Valley.
Specially responsible for managing the temporary army composed of adventurers.
…
The original White River Valley Guard was reorganized by Marvin into the Lord's Guard, still led by Andre.
These guys have improved very quickly, and because of the benefits of the training tanks, most of them now have skills above level two, and half of them are level three warriors!
Although this group of security forces consists of only more than 30 people, they are directly under Ma Wen and are the most loyal to him.
Except for the initial group of people, all the members recruited later were strictly tested by Anna and Andre. Whether in character, character or loyalty, they were all top-notch.
During the time when Marvin was away from the territory, Daniela had already started her military expansion plan.
In Marvin's recruitment order, she also recruited members from the entire southern region, and the reason was still to open up the wilderness.
At that time, the alliance and Marvin had not yet fallen out, so this reason was feasible.
The payment for this batch of recruits was all in the gold coins of the Alliance, but what they got was a group of well-trained soldiers.
Judging from the number, there are about 300 people in this group. Most of them have no worries, or have moved their entire families to the White River Valley. They are the permanent troops in the White River Valley.
This group of troops was led by Anna herself. Although Anna was busy with the affairs of the territory, the half-elf's talent was very high.
When Ma Wen came back this time, he was shocked to find that his housekeeper had taken some time out of her busy schedule and was promoted to the third level.
Although the third level is not good enough in the coming era where gods are everywhere and legends are worse than dogs, it has already made him feel very surprised.
What moved Marvin even more was that Anna chose to advance a second time in order to complete the territory.
This time, she chose the [Legion Commander]. It is said that she hired an old man from a half-elf village as a mentor at a high price and studied with him frequently. Almost every skill or specialty of hers has a legion effect.
She completely sacrificed her personal abilities and chose to govern the territory and lead the army.
It can be said that since Marvin came into this world, Anna is the only girl who stands behind him, silently supports him and makes sacrifices.
This half-elf girl was also the first person he saw when he arrived in Fenan.
Recalling the predicament they were in at the Fiery Horse Inn, Marvin couldn't help but feel a little emotional and his nose felt a little sore.
At that time, Marvin was still weak and feverish. Anna stayed by his side every night and said to him with a firm look in her eyes:
"Master Marvin, everything will be fine tomorrow, believe me. I will definitely find a way."
In a trance, Anna, who was busy sorting documents, looked up at Marvin.
She saw that Marvin had a frown on his face and thought he was worried about the future situation.
The half-elf girl couldn't help but put down the documents in her hand and said softly: "Master Marvin, don't think too much, the future will definitely be better."
Marven was slightly stunned, then smiled and said sincerely: "Anna, thank you."
Anna blinked, sorted out the remaining documents, seemed to want to say something, and finally left Marvin's study with a smile, holding the documents.
Marvin sighed in his heart. He knew what Anna wanted to say, but the clever girl didn't say it.
She knew that she was carrying too many secrets, and many times, Marvin clearly felt that Anna wanted to ask herself questions.
But she didn't ask.
She might have guessed something, or guessed nothing. But in short, she continued to support herself with practical actions.
This is true for Anna and others as well.
…
Marvin rubbed his temple. The White River Valley today is no longer the same size as it was before.
In addition to adventurers, regular troops, and lord guards, there is also an independent army of the Sand Clan.
The village of the Sand Tribe is just south of the White River. It is nominally under the management of Marvin, but Constantine is their leader.
In the eyes of outsiders, this may be a hidden danger in the White River Valley, but Marvin believes in Constantine.
Just as Constantine believed Marvin.
The day after the war ended, he arrived at the White River Valley with another group of Sand people.
He successfully persuaded another tribe of Sand people to move to the White River Valley.
As a result, the number of Sand Tribe people south of the White River reached two thousand, and the number of people in the White River Valley itself was about three thousand - don't question this number, in Fenan, the population is much more scarce than on Earth.
A territory of five thousand
In many places in the north, this is basically the size of a duchy.
If Marvin wanted, he could declare a principality right now, with Constantine's support.
It's just that at this critical moment, he's not in the mood for it.
All in all, the addition of the Sand Tribe would be beneficial to the White River Valley. Almost every Sand Tribe member was a soldier.
Although their firearms were not very powerful, they were still more effective than farmers. The only problem was that they were not good at farming, but Marvin had already solved the food problem perfectly.
The Twelve Golden Bulls are the food stored by the Twin Snakes to survive the great catastrophe.
The food in Taurus is enough to sustain the current population of the White River Valley for at least two years.
And in two years, the crops in the White River Valley should be self-sufficient.
Constantine had a conversation with Marvin, and this time, he not only brought the Sand Tribe people, but also brought his two good friends.
One is the dragon slayer master, and the other is the potion master.
These two people are masters who have no fixed place to live in the north. They heard that there are many dragon corpses in Marvin, and recently there seems to be another corpse of a sea monster, Logan Arthur, so they all expressed their interest. Under Constantine's seduction, they came directly to the White River Valley.
Marvin naturally treated him as an honored guest. He even gave excellent treatment to the necromancer Federer and the unknown alchemist. Marvin would naturally not let go of such a true master.
In this way, at least in the two fields of alchemy and anatomy, the White River Valley has its own true masters.
…
In addition, Constantine brought another piece of news.
The legends who had gathered in the White River Valley before have almost all taken care of their own affairs. Some legends who are independent and powerless may choose to join the White River Valley.
For example, the super monk Inheim!
During a catastrophe, no matter how powerful a person's military force is, he cannot compete with the chaos of the entire world.
Many forces have extended olive branches to Inheim, such as the Northern Migratory Bird Council - the Mother of All Things who saved Inheim's life.
But according to Constantine, Inheim is very likely to choose the White River Valley.
The reason seems to be related to the Great Elf King. Constantine himself doesn't know more.
Among the powerful legends, most of them would choose to cooperate with Marvin.
For example, the celestial deer Roland, Marvin once saved his children, and in the future catastrophe, he knew very well what would happen.
Although the Sage Desert is part of the alliance, the influence of the Heavenly Deer is crucial as the belief of the Bai people.
Once he makes his decision, the Sage Desert will completely ally with the White River Valley. Further west is the Rocky Mountain of the Three Sisters.
If this alliance is successful, a super alliance organization will emerge in the southernmost part of the continent.
Marvin was looking forward to this scene.
The old blacksmith brought him another piece of news:
O'Brien went north to gather the scattered night walkers. He would bring this group of the last heirs of the Night King's will back to the White River Valley before the Cataclysm!
When Ma Wen heard the news, his heart almost exploded!
What he wants to see is to unite all the forces that can be united before the catastrophe.
And this scene is being realized step by step, even though the gods have already shown their claws.
However, people in the mortal world are unwilling to become their slaves.
This is a war for freedom and dignity.
Although the war has not yet started, the smoke is already rising!
