Chapter 2705: Chapter 1167: Three Cities Captured in Succession (Part 2)

Ideals cannot be eaten, he is the Crownbearer of Vidars Forest and must consider the countless forest inhabitants here.

"Good." Gaven revealed a sincere smile and said, "I will bring this good news to Lord Zalanda, and we can discuss the specifics of the alliance at the Winter Banquet."

In the past few days, Zalanda has taught Gaven a lesson that some things cannot be rushed and it’s necessary to allow ample time for both parties.

"That’s fine." The Crownbearer was not in a hurry either.

"Lord Road Builder, please allow our Moss Stone City to remain neutral." Great Druid Melvin expressed his concerns candidly, "We are deeply tied with other Thacel Nobles right now, and if we deviate from a neutral stance, it might trigger unnecessary incidents, while Lord Zalanda is out of reach.

However, rest assured, Lord Road Builder, once Lord Zalanda decides to initiate a unification war, our Moss Stone City will surely be the first to respond."

"Understood." Gaven said graciously, "Maintaining cooperation in the manner previously agreed upon is the best support for Lord Zalanda."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Road Builder." The Great Druid clearly felt relieved.

Crowned Valentino could not help but ask: "This Elemental Energy Accumulator is merely the core device for power supply; to utilize it, we might need specialized supporting equipment, right?"

"Yes." Gaven gave a glimpse of his grand vision, "If such a device is installed on a carriage, it can replace horses; put it on a forge, it can substitute flame supply. It’s not a question of whether it can be used, but whether it can be conceived.

I plan to open a tunnel between Colossus City and Darama, directly using this Elemental Energy Accumulator as an energy source to construct rail-guided trains, pulling hundreds of carriages in one go, thus achieving the goal of transporting goods on a large scale.

If the Crownbearer is interested, I can include your Veldas Forest in one of the rings."

This plan was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but one already on the agenda.

No matter how high the steel output of Colossus City is, if it is not fully utilized, there is no point.

Among these, infrastructure is of utmost importance; linking one’s territory together can unleash even greater energy.

"Pulling hundreds of carriages at once, how much cargo would that be? Hundreds of tons?" Great Druid Melvin asked, stunned.

Such a caravan with hundreds of carriages is definitely a colossal one; every time it passes by Moss Stone City, it appears to have no end in sight.

Pulling all these carriages together is something completely beyond imagination.

"Hundreds of tons?" Gaven couldn’t help but laugh, "If it’s just a carrying capacity of hundreds of tons, is it worth such trouble and massive investment? The single load capacity should exceed thousands of tons; even reaching tens of thousands is not impossible."

"Tens of thousands of tons per single load? Unimaginable, completely unimaginable." The Great Druid did not feel mocked, only lamented his own ignorance, "If this statement came from someone else, I wouldn’t believe it; but if it comes from a True God of Divine Enthronement in the Path, I can’t help but believe."

"It’s not about who said it." Crowned Valentino said solemnly, "But whether the corresponding conditions can be met.

The energy source is available, steel output is sufficient, and the casting challenge can be overcome with ample Dwarf craftsmen. Even the underground tunnels exist..."

"Underground tunnels existing, what does that mean?" Gaven interrupted the Crownbearer, puzzled.

Crowned Valentino was equally puzzled, "Lord Road Builder, didn’t you plan to establish the path underground because you discovered Shanata Empire’s Dark Domain passageways?"

"Shanata Empire’s Dark Domain passageways?" Gaven’s eyes lit up immediately, "How could I have forgotten about this? So, some Dark Domain passageways from Dwarf Empire times have been preserved?"

He added a late explanation, "The reason for wanting to establish the train underground is because there are too many unsafe factors in the wild, easy to be damaged; I originally planned to use Purple Worms or Giant Insect Shadows to excavate tunnels."

"I see, Lord Road Builder’s plan is more ambitious than I anticipated." Valentino praised, "As far as I know, Shanata Empire’s Dark Domain passageways not only exist but are numerous; however, I don’t know much about the specifics.

The Dwarves of the Star Spiral Mountain Range hold the insider information for these passageways, many of which they are still using to trade with us."

"Thank you, Lord Crownbearer, for the information." Gaven couldn’t help but laugh, "Coincidentally, my next stop will be to visit the Star Spiral Mountain Dwarves’ Clan Leader, and this way, we have another point for negotiation and cooperation."

"Why wait until then?" The Crownbearer suggested, "I have a private channel with Chief Surilla; I can directly teleport her over for discussion, isn’t that more appropriate?"

"In theory, this is indeed more suitable, but it would be somewhat too impolite; I have already agreed on the meeting time." Gaven pretended to be in a dilemma.

He could see through the Crownbearer’s thoughts at a glance.

The Crownbearer had not suddenly become impulsive; it was because the interests involved were so significant that he wanted to be a direct participant, rather than being excluded.
