CHAPTER 1797: CHAPTER 865: 100 MILLION TROOP MEGA GIFT PACK

"Yes." Gaven nodded, "What I want are the Soaring Dragon People among those slave soldier prisoners. They managed to follow the Tukan people for over ten thousand kilometers to reach here, so none of them are ordinary people, many are either from border communities or were stationed in border defenses, most are brave and battle-hardened.

They fought for the Tukan people, mostly out of necessity, many even hate the Tukan people more than we do.

If we can incorporate them, and utilize them, we’d immediately have a strong army at our disposal."

The Tukan people’s slave soldiers are mainly divided into two types.

One type is the monster vassals, who are also natives of the Endless Wilderness, although their race is not the same as the Tukan people, their lifestyle and temperament are very similar, all living a nomadic life.

They are typical fence-sitters, in the Endless Wilderness, they follow whoever is stronger.

When Jackalweres rose, they followed the Jackalweres to plunder.

When the Hobgoblins were mighty, they pledged allegiance to those warlords.

Now that the Tukan people have become the masters of the prairie, they’ve turned into the Tukan people’s shepherd dogs.

They mostly consist of battle-hardened Hobgoblins, Jackalweres, and Orcs, with some Goblins and Gnolls, but these cannon fodders are quickly consumed, leaving almost none before reaching the Eastern Desolation.

The other type is human captives, who are of mixed origin, coming from various surrounding nations of the Endless Wilderness, as well as the Soaring Dragon People of the Soaring Dragon Empire, with the latter being the majority.

Among the Tukan’s 300,000 slave soldiers, monster vassals are more prevalent, human captives account for less than one-fifth.

However, this time, among the slave soldiers captured by the Laiserman, human captives account for up to half, most being the Soaring Dragon People.

The reason for this situation.

Firstly, it’s due to the Tukan people’s different treatment of the two types of slave soldiers.

Relatively speaking, the Tukan people clearly value those human captives more, equipping them with relatively better gear and assigning them relatively safer tasks.

Those who are driven to the front lines, mostly consist of the monster vassals.

While human captives are in the rear, helping escort various military supplies.

Secondly, it’s due to different perspectives on combat, whether they are Hobgoblins, Jackalweres, or Orcs, they all have a certain bloodthirsty desire, with the potential to lose control, let alone on large battlefields where, in a frenzy, there’s no chance for surrender.

On the contrary, those human captives have little desire to risk their lives for the Tukan people. Upon finding the situation hugely disadvantageous to them, most would surrender neatly and decisively.

"Hahaha..."

Instead of getting a response, Gaven’s request elicited a burst of laughter.

As the person involved, Gaven was somewhat bewildered by the laughter of these Haslan Witches, and couldn’t help but ask, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything wrong with my request?"

"Haha... I told you, Commander, you’d definitely set your sights on those Soaring Dragon people! Now do you believe it!"

"There’s nothing wrong with your request, it’s just that we guessed beforehand that Commander would make this request, so we made a little bet related to you." The Water Spirit Witch explained with a smile.

"A bet related to me?" Gaven was even more puzzled, a bit out of sync with the Haslan Witches’ thinking.

"If the Commander didn’t mention these slaves, we would only gift 20,000 sets of Far East Bright Armor.

But if the Commander intended to arm them, we’d upgrade the gift, not only the armor and people are sent, but we also provide matching weapons and warhorses.

Up to 20,000, as many as you can arm, we will give." The Water Spirit Witch stopped holding back, revealing their decision directly.

"You gentlemen are really generous." Gaven was once again moved.

The generosity of the Haslan Witches once again refreshed Gaven’s limits of understanding.

This is not an equipment gift pack, but a manpower gift pack.

20,000 heavy cavalry, along with their equipment, would certainly exceed a billion.

In any existing nation in Felen, it would be a force not to be underestimated, let alone for Gaven, who’s in the early stages of development.

"Don’t be too happy, we’re conditional." The Water Spirit Witch splashed cold water on Gaven, cooling his somewhat overheated mind.

Hearing the other party mention conditions, Gaven wasn’t unhappy, instead, he felt reassured and quickly said: "What conditions? Feel free to tell me."

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially one valued at over a billion.

Although the other party previously provided some explanation, spending billions for their own peace of mind feels extravagant.

If there were ulterior motives, that would make sense.

"First, we need Commander to assist us in quickly perfecting the Totem Dreamscape, as we are preparing to transfer all the Totem Lands into the Dream World." The Water Spirit Witch put forth the most critical point.

The focus remains on the Totem Dreamscape; in their eyes, spoils of war from the Tukan people are external things.

The Totem Dreamscape is their greatest achievement, its value isn’t something a few billions can measure; it’s something that can change the essence of the Laiserman Kingdom.

"Participating in the construction of the Totem Dreamscape is an honor for me."

Gaven pondered with some confusion, "It’s just that the theoretical knowledge I’ve been able to provide has been fully shared, what’s left is to plant the freshly bred Earth Totem Fruit, then let the Totem Tree cross the lake, transplant it into the gray-white forest, and unite it with the four Great Elements, then it will be ready. In this matter, my role is minimal."
