The subsequent Gnolls that were cultivated didn’t need to be as exceptionally powerful as the first batch of Wilderness Kobolds, they just needed to meet half of their standards, enough to satisfy the rigid qualifications for entering the Dragon Oak Dream Realm, and their usefulness to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree would be even greater.

After all, their terrifying reproductive capability was something other Fae Race in the Enchanted Realm did not possess, a price that long-lived species had to pay for their longevity.

Moreover, the malleability of the Gnoll’s bloodline made this matter more than mere fancy.

All it required was a bit more thought and effort on them.

“Has the estimation for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s upgrade and transformation time come out yet?

Can it be completed in time for use in the winter campaign?” Although Gaven had mentally prepared himself for an extended period without borrowing strength from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, he still wanted to know the exact timing to plan more conveniently.

“Winter campaign?

Exactly where do you plan to campaign?

I’ve always felt that you have a grand plan in the Material Plane, and everything seems to be revolving around this plan,” Lord Virginia seized the opportunity to ask the question that had been weighing on his heart for a long time.

This time, Gaven did not beat around the bush, nor did he bother with excuses, “Indeed, I do have a very grand plan.

The uncertainties of the distant future are too vast; discussing them is meaningless, so let’s talk about this upcoming one.

The Felen Continent is just the largest landmass in the Material Plane of Toril, but not the entirety.

To its east, there is another continent, called Kartu, whose area is no less substantial than its own.

The majority of regions between the two continents are obstructed by deserts and mountain ranges that are impassable by human effort, except for the north, where a vast prairie called the Endless Wilderness closely connects the two.

On this Endless Wilderness, there lives a valiant Nomadic Tribe that, for most of the time, survives in scattered tribes across the prairies stretching thousands of kilometers, struggling against the harsh natural environment.

However, once a resourceful and mighty eagle takes wing across the Endless Wilderness, countless Nomadic Tribes will follow him on a campaign, either descending south to raid and plunder the Soaring Dragon Empire on the Kartu Continent.

Or they will move westward to loot riches from the Felen Continent.

A rising eagle named Yatu has now emerged on the Endless Wilderness, boasting a force of a million soldiers.

The Soaring Dragon Empire now also has a wise ruler, with clouds of generals and a million armored warriors at his command, and a thousand-kilometer-long Soaring Dragon Great Wall to rely on.

The Nomadic Tribes, who are not skilled at sieges, would find it very hard to break through there.

They only have one choice left.”

“An army of a million?” Lord Virginia kept drawing sharp breaths.

He hadn’t paid attention to the rest of the introduction; he was shocked by the horrifying military figure.

To the Fae Race, this number seemed unfathomable.

It was uncertain if all the Yaling from the Court of Summer added up would reach this number.

And that was just the combatants on one side.

Considering that not all Humans are warriors, there could be at least five to six times as many civilians behind them.

“An army of a million is often an exaggeration, a hyperbole.

To command a million riders is an imaginary number, but several hundred thousand is definitely achievable.

Even for the residents of the Felen Continent, this is a catastrophe.

No single country could withstand such an onslaught by themselves.

As the countries on the frontlines will surely ask for reinforcements from the interior lands, I plan to organize troops and answer the call to support them.

There is no faster way to expand one’s influence than through such a large-scale war,” Gaven shared his plans and immediately felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

Otherwise, no matter how close their relationship was, there always seemed to be a barrier.

“Do you have a detailed map and schedule?” Lord Virginia’s capacity to accept was vast; he didn’t even inquire about why Gaven knew such detailed information about situations thousands of kilometers away.

Because if he asked, it was most likely due to the Prophecy Dream.

That wasn’t important.

As long as it was accurate and beneficial to them, it was sufficient.

So far, Gaven’s Prophecy Dreams had been very precise.

“Yes,” Gaven naturally had everything prepared and spread out a relatively detailed Felen Grand Map, pointed out the key points of his plan to Virginia, and then said, “The Endless Wilderness is too vast, and it takes time for the Nomadic Tribes to amass large-scale forces.

The earliest they could launch an offensive by gathering their might would be in the winter.

Other countries in Felen would get the news and be able to react only by the next spring.

However, we can’t wait until then.

We must complete the necessary preparations before the onset of winter, especially provisions.

Once the war breaks out on that side, send small groups of Elites to scout ahead.

We will move our main forces along with the other countries that have come to their senses and begun to amass large-scale troops.

The opposing force is too strong; it’s not something we can face alone.

We might not even be able to engage with the main force but could only play a marginal role.

“Heh…

as you play the edge, you might well become the leading force,” Lord Virginia showed absolute confidence in Gaven, “Since it’s like this, I’ll adjust the upgrade and reconstruction schedule of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to strive for completion before your campaign.

You hurry and create portable Otherworldly Dimension Hole pouches, and we’ll stay in touch at all times.”
