Chapter 2351: Chapter 1050: War Mobilization

The female knight mounted her horse and praised the Hobgoblin Warlord, "To become an excellent commander, not only do you need to know how to fight, but also how to govern. You have not failed the General’s expectations; you have done well here."

The other party hid their identity and appeared here, clearly wanting to see the most genuine transaction scene.

Livestock trading is the pillar industry of Blood Gorge City. From here, one can see the larger picture and observe the development of the entire city. How is their livestock industry progressing? Is the fiscal revenue healthy? Are the transactions normal?

"All of this is thanks to the generosity of the General and the tireless teachings of the Lady." The Hobgoblin Warlord replied sincerely.

"Very good." The female knight nodded with satisfaction, "Let’s go to the Inner City."

"Please, Lady." The Hobgoblin Warlord said respectfully.

Even though he was more than twice the height of the other, his demeanor was like that of a subordinate, a student.

Under the escort of these Hobgoblin Giant knights, they thundered away into the blood-red gorge passage leading to Blood Gorge City’s Inner City.

Until their figures disappeared completely, the merchants finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they knew that as long as they abide by the laws here, their personal safety would be guaranteed, the difference in body type undeniably held a powerful sense of oppression.

Humans are not like Demi-Humans, accustomed to living in a world where everything is more than twice the size.

"Isn’t he the Blood Gorge City Lord, Blood Claw General?"

"It’s him. I had the fortune to see him a few times."

"What background does this female knight have to warrant Blood Claw General personally leading the team to greet her?"

"If I’m not mistaken, she should be Ms. Katherine, the Chosen of the Goddess of Strategy. Her attire is the best symbol; only she would warrant such an elaborate welcome from Blood Claw General.

I heard these Blood Claw Hobgoblins govern the city using the military law of the Goddess of Strategy, making them vastly different from normal Hobgoblins."

"If she is Ms. Katherine, then the General they speak of should be General Gaven, the Creator of the Conqueror Path, the true founder of Blood Gorge City."

"Does Katherine General’s presence in Blood Gorge City imply that a war might break out here?"

"It’s possible. I heard that all towns along the Conqueror Path, all cities and territories of General Gaven, have issued the Security Anti-bandit Order, declaring war on those monsters. Blood Gorge City, being part of it, is surely involved, especially the Giant Plains with its numerous Monster Tribes, which remain an unsafe factor."

"This is excellent news for us merchants. We wish nothing more than for the monsters along the way to be wiped out. Praise the Goddess of Strategy, praise General Gaven, and hope their plans succeed massively."

"Praise the Goddess of Strategy! Praise General Gaven!"

"If a war breaks out, won’t this trading market also be affected, and in the short term, we won’t have Colossal livestock trading?"

"That is indeed the case."

"Then what are we waiting for? Auction, continue the auction."

This episode sparked a round of discussion among merchants and simultaneously reignited the livestock auction in the trading market.

Nowadays, those who trade and do business outside are extremely sharp-sensed individuals who have detected something unusual from the identity of the other party.

War and trade are closely related, causing many commodities to experience large fluctuations.

If a war indeed breaks out in Blood Gorge City, then its local specialties would undoubtedly enter a state of soaring prices, providing an excellent opportunity for them.

The upcoming auction prices for Colossal livestock generally increased by at least thirty percent.

This situation was entirely within Katherine’s expectations. The Divine Position of the Lady Strategy covers far beyond just war, but also trade is part of her range.

Unlike the bustling Outer City, even for regulars on the Conqueror Path, Blood Gorge City Inner City is considered quite mysterious, with idle personnel prohibited from entering.

Under the twilight, Katherine surveyed this city, which had been established for less than two years; it resembled a towering military camp built against the mountain.

Rows of rugged and simple stone houses stood like silent sentinels.

Alongside the streets, the orderly arrow tower outposts’ shadows were lengthened by the setting sun, serving as witnesses to history, quietly recording the solemnity and majesty of this city.

The air was filled with a sense of iron and blood, as if every slab carved with an indomitable oath.

The center square of the city is a huge parade ground. In the center stands a stone sculpture nearly forty meters high, wearing heroic armor. He holds a uniquely shaped Super Giant Warhammer, his expression stern, exuding an aura of divine righteousness and commanding respect without anger.

Behind the statue, there is a massive military camp where a Hobgoblin Army stands fully equipped, ready for military action at any moment.

This statue naturally couldn’t belong to anyone else.

It is the Road Idol of General Gaven Nort, the Creator of the Conqueror Path, the Founder of Blood Gorge City, Future God of the Road, and the Blood Claw Hobgoblins’ common lord.

The Hobgoblin Army serves as the Road Protection Guard, responding to road prayers and conducting Road Rescue.

The Road Idol occasionally flashes with Magic Aura, followed by the disappearance of corresponding Hobgoblin Soldiers.

Clearly, someone had offered a prayer, and the Road Idol automatically responded.
