Emperor of Arcane

As soon as the battle situation and reports were returned to Bay City, densely packed staff and soldiers from the Bay Territory quickly headed to the Silver Moon River Plain.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but feel curious.

The news that the Gulf Territory raided the Silver Moon River Plain last night, killed millions of barbarians, and captured their camps quickly spread in Gulf City.

The adventurers and new people who didn't know the inside story were inexplicably shocked by such a huge victory.

The adventurers and people who were very familiar with the battle and development process of the Gulf Territory began to make friends.

"Hurry up, hurry up, book your next round of tickets to the Silver Moon River Plain immediately, we will show off our talents there."

"The area of ​​the Silver Moon River Plain is quite large. According to previously detected data, it is fully developed and can create nearly 300 million acres of farmland."

"Not all farmland, more than a quarter of it, can be upgraded and developed into farms."

"The farm can make money, and the economic benefits are at least 10 times that of ordinary farmland."

"That's true, but it needs to be applied for and taken care of in advance. At the same time, our land reclamation must also meet the standards..."

"This is definitely not a problem. Recruit more people and choose some good players..."

"..."

Such discussions occurred all over the Gulf Territory.

Many farmers who still wanted to work hard quickly submitted applications for land reclamation.

Some of the older farmers would watch them working hard with a smile.

They are very satisfied with their current life and just want to continue living well.

Many adventurers also heard the farmers' discussions.

Many of them had just arrived in the Gulf Territory, and looked at the many farmers who had professional levels but were not very keen on fighting, with a little surprise in their eyes.

"There are too many professionals in the Gulf Territory, right?"

"Theoretically, everyone in the Gulf Territory can have the opportunity to become a professional."

"Why? Is there any secret here?"

"What secrets can there be here? The reason is all over the street, because they eat well."

"Take the children in the Gulf Territory as an example. They have eggs, milk and meat every day. How can their physical fitness be bad?"

"This is just our way of eating. If we really join the Gulf Territory, children can have magic food every day to improve their qualifications and potential."

"That's true. We still need to spend money to buy it, but the children here can eat it for free."

"My dear, is life so good? It's better than our village knight's life!"

"Hey? A mere knight family is definitely not as good as the life in our professional training academy here."

"As long as you are willing to study here and get good grades, ordinary viscount and earl families will not be as good as those raised here."

"Huh? Really? I can't believe it..."

"You don't have to believe it, because it's absolutely true. My two boys have both been admitted, and they are already ready to work when they are less than 8 years old."

"Oops? Are you bragging about those two boys of yours again? My daughter is not bad either. If she works hard in the first half of next year, she can become a druid!"

"Tch, my Niuniu is still strong. She has just turned 12 years old this year. She has successfully taken up the position of Arcanist. She has the opportunity to be taught by the lord himself!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you guys are blowing again, hurry up and get ready, it's time for us to set off."

"..."

The simple and informative discussion surprised many new adventurers and people, and at the same time gave them a deeper understanding of the Gulf Territory.

They have begun to imagine that if they can successfully join the Gulf Territory, their lives will not only get better and better, but even future generations will be able to make a difference.

What parent doesn’t want to think about his or her offspring?

Later, they saw the Gulf Leader's order calling for a famine.

I saw many golem machines.

I saw a powerful combat unit from the Gulf Territory.

Overall, these are good things!

The land reclamation orders in the Gulf Territory are constantly digesting a lot of new and old labor force.

The land reclamation in the Gulf Territory is not just about land reclamation.

There is a complete and complete development plan, sufficient resources, and considerable technical support. It is definitely a safe and rewarding thing.

After all, Matthew does not expect everyone to be good at fighting. Developing productivity and working hard to grow more food is the most important and hard truth.

The big commotion in the Gulf Territory naturally attracted other eyes.

Compared with the amazement of other forces, the Cole Elf Kingdom, which had just suffered a heavy loss, seemed depressed.

The Cole Elf Council, which felt rather uncomfortable, no longer concealed the situation, but announced the Gulf Territory's combat performance and results in clear and detailed terms.

I briefly looked through the information and carefully looked at various battle images.

Especially the scene of Matthew and the Thunder Warriors rushing into the barbarian camp, hunting down the barbarian leaders as if they were in an uninhabited land.

It even made many Cole Elf nobles and lords feel a little numb.

The Elf Kingdom of Cole likes to raise losers, but not all losers are willing to support them.

They also know what the barbarian camp is like.

Although they lack sufficient training and cooperation, they definitely do not lack the courage to fight.

The total 300,000 troops gathered together can definitely contain a lot of power in the Gulf Territory.

If it were them, it would probably take at least a 100,000-strong army to defeat them in a few days.

But what is the performance of Bay Collar?

Done in just one night!

Even if the Gulf Territory implements beheading tactics, taking the lives of barbarian leaders and commanders among an army of hundreds of thousands is a quite exaggerated matter.

More importantly, the sudden attack from the Gulf Territory cut off one of the outstretched hands of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

A lot of food and weapons and equipment they sent out did not produce any substantial effects, and they all fell into the hands of the Gulf Territory.

How can they be willing to do this?

"Discuss? What else is there to discuss? With the mobility and construction capabilities of the Gulf Territory."

"It won't take them five days to build enough defense facilities in the camp on the Silver Moon River Plain."

"Unless the army pushes through, even if we bring more than 10 surrounding barbarian tribes and gather hundreds of thousands of stragglers, we will not pose any threat to the Gulf Territory."

"Now is not the time to send a large army. Once we are held back by the Gulf Territory, our plans for the Netheril Empire will inevitably be greatly affected."

"This was a test by the Gulf Territory, and they tested out some of our arrangements."

"They will definitely continue to attack. The battle plan they put forward before is probably just a cover."

"Whether it's a cover or not, we have to make preparations in advance?"

"Either reduce the strength, organize more manpower, and prepare for the Gulf Territory's decapitation tactics."

"Be prepared? How to be prepared? Now even the legendary warriors can't withstand the confinement of "time stands still". It's impossible to defeat them in close combat, and it's difficult to kill them in one shot from a distance."

"That's right. If Matthew could be dealt with quickly, the Shadow Council would have taken action long ago."

"This is not the key issue. The key is that after spending a huge price and going through a lot of hard work, the person killed may be a clone of Matthew."

"This is the most uncomfortable thing!"

"I don't know which Matthew is true? Which Matthew is false?"

"The targets they choose to attack now are all the same as the clones. They can't tell whether they are true or false."

"..."

Compared with the "slow response" of the Cole Elf Kingdom, Matthew and the Thunder Warriors have quietly arrived in the Krypton Gold Valley.

Compared with the bare stone mountain before, what was now displayed in front of Matthew.

It is a giant fortress filled with all kinds of deadly weapons that can withstand attacks by hundreds of thousands of troops at the same time and remain standing.

Rows of gleaming artillery pieces.

Each dark shooting port.

A huge and burly Dragoon No. 2 golem.

There are watchtowers standing everywhere.

A series of flying dragon nests entrenched on the edge of the cliff.

Four to five hundred flying dragons, large and small, are undergoing rigorous training and education.

About 1/3 of them will be selected and become members of the Gulf Territory Flying Dragon Knights.

Except for these force in the open.

A medium-sized mysterious lock that is large in scale and can operate smoothly, covering the entire valley, is emitting mist and mist, covering many pairs of prying eyes.

There are many guys who are not afraid of death, and for various reasons, they try to rush in to find out.

Then, before they even got close to the area where the mystery lock was located, they were caught by the surrounding sentry patrols.

For these guys with no identity and unknown origins, the Gulf Territory's behavior has always been very straightforward.

A burst of magic tests fell down. If there was indeed no malicious intent, they would go through the procedures for them and give them some help.

If something went wrong and there was genuine malice, then the Gulf Territory would be able to do as they wished.

The laboratory below the Krypton Gold Valley also has a lot of vacancies.

Therefore, many guys can only spy secretly, or like Laura and others, use various methods to achieve their goals through twists and turns.

However, by that time, the information they obtained was the information that the Gulf leaders wanted to release.

Most of this information is true, but the timing is very clever.

Under normal circumstances, various arrangements in the bay area will leave a lot of room and space, specially prepared for some "bad guys".

However, things are different today.

In the peaceful Krypton City, a large number of Dragoon 2 combat golems have completed the replenishment of combat energy and activated the corresponding combat procedures.

The underground train tracks are already filled with heavily armed combat trains.

More than 1,000 Dragoon 2 combat golems boarded the train one after another.

The combat train moved forward silently.

When passing the edge of the mystery lock, it passed four inspection procedures and went to the deeper parts of the underground tunnel through three extremely high-protection steel doors.

Matthew in the sky glanced at the deployment progress of the combat units and looked at the various situations in the troll camp.

Matthew immediately discovered interesting information.

The number of trolls is small, but with their talents and hunting abilities, as long as they are paired with appropriate weapons and equipment, they have stronger combat effectiveness than barbarian soldiers.

If relatively formal combat cooperation and training are carried out, the overall combat effectiveness of the troll soldiers will show geometric growth.

Logically speaking, in order to deal with the increasingly powerful Gulf Territory, the Cole Elf Kingdom should be more "generous" and prepare more things for its henchmen.

However, the Cole Elf Kingdom did not do what Matthew thought.

They still dig at Sosou, as if they are afraid of raising tigers.

After judging this situation, Matthew's face suddenly showed a bright smile.

The grand strategy of the Cole Elf Kingdom is indeed unique.

Whether it's pressure from public opinion, blockades from all sides, or mobilizing various scoundrels to look for trouble.

It can bring great trouble to ordinary forces.

But the Gulf Territory is different. Not only is it not afraid of war at all, it has also developed extremely rapidly, far beyond their imagination and expectations.

They prepared a certain plan and plan and spent several months to half a year preparing to launch it.

As a result, the growth of the Gulf Territory has exceeded the limits of these plans, and instead behaves like it is giving away "welfare".

Regarding this, Matthew, who is able to use the death of his enemies to achieve further rapid development of the Gulf Territory, is very much looking forward to the follow-up "help" from the Cole Elf Kingdom.

The more "benefits" they send over, the faster the Gulf Territory will develop, and the heavier the hatred between the two sides will accumulate.

Matthew can also use the pressure they bring to keep the big guys in the Bay Territory alert.

Rather than becoming slack because of progress and gains.

"The combat golem has been deployed!"

A clear voice reached Matthew's ears.

Matthew confirmed that some soldiers and the main force of the troll camp went to various areas for hunting, and chose to execute the battle plan without hesitation:

"Attack!"

As the teleported light flashed, 1,000 Dragoon No. 2 golems suddenly appeared three or four meters in the air at the troll camp.

Their slightly lowered heads spit out a series of gray-black mist at the moment the transmission was completed.

The misty mist falling from the sky quickly spread as Dragoon No. 2 Golem surged forward.

They completely surrounded the surroundings, not only covering the whereabouts of Dragoon Golem No. 2, but also causing the stunned trolls to fall into a state of paralysis.

The paralyzing smoke spread quickly, making the troll who inhaled the gas completely unable to exert any strength.

His normally tall and strong body was completely limp and unable to control himself.

Dragoon No. 2 Golem, holding two giant chain-toothed swords, was also buzzing with a roar.

He aimed mercilessly at the head of the stronger troll warrior who could barely hold the paralyzing smoke, and chopped it down hard.

The troll warriors looked at the Dragoon Golem No. 2, which was taller and more powerful than them, and not inferior to the troll barbarians. They raised their newly replaced weapons in panic.

Click!

Poof!

Metal weapons were cut off in an instant. Ordinary weapons were completely unable to withstand the chain-tooth giant sword, which could easily destroy the terrifying destructive power of weapons below high level.

The troll's head, which was not as hard as a metal weapon, was naturally chopped off instantly.

Their bodies with tenacious vitality are still struggling even after their heads are chopped off.

Dragoon No. 2 Golem did not continue to attack their corpses, but made accurate judgment and continued to advance towards the target location.

In two or three minutes, the entire camp was surrounded by thick paralyzing smoke.

Some unlucky troll leaders and commanders rushed out of the camp with their guards because of their faster reaction times.

As a result, they happened to bump into Dragoon Golem No. 2, which was coming towards them.

The strength reaches the super peak.

Has an elemental fusion engine.

It has been strengthened with various high-quality metals such as thorium, fine gold, and krypton gold.

The strength and tonnage of the Dragoon Golem No. 2 can easily crush the trolls.

Two or three blows cut off the weapons of the troll governors and commanders.

Dragoon No. 2 Golem can directly destroy their lives without even releasing other accompanying spells and abilities.

Even if some of the trolls have higher physical attributes and are full of tonnage, they rush over to help.

They will also be subject to differences in weapons and equipment. Because of the gap in overall strength, they can be cut down in a few hits.

In the blink of an eye, most of the core command units of the entire troll camp were killed with ease.

The other troll soldiers relied on their tenacious vitality and physique to withstand the early negative effects of the paralyzing smoke.

But they didn't wait for them to organize to resist.

Various smoke bombs fell from the sky again.

Some will release irritating mist that makes them cough.

Some will release poisonous weapons that blind them.

Others will specialize in their lungs, making every breath they take extremely painful.

After they finally survived the baptism of all kinds of smoke, they barely recovered their sight and mobility.

They will be horrified to discover.

Those troll leaders who usually show off their power have already lost their heads.

And once they gather together, Dragoon No. 2 Golem, with scorching rays in its eyes, will open its big mouth and spit out burning flames of destruction.

Boom!

The raging flames continued to spread to the surroundings, and there were explosions and screams one after another.

Ordinary troll soldiers lost their combat effectiveness in an instant.

Troll soldiers who are directly hit by the flames are often burned to charcoal.

Ordinary combat units have lost their combat effectiveness and desire, and some troll leaders are being hunted down.

The only one who could resist was the giant mage who managed to recover and cast his transformation spell again.

They turned into giant bears or soaring eagles.

The former attempted to engage in a melee confrontation with Dragoon No. 2 Golem.

The latter tried to escape from the camp that frightened them.

Neither has much hope of survival.

The only difference is the cause of death.

He was hacked to death by Dragoon Golem No. 2, or torn to pieces by the Flying Dragon Knight that rushed towards him.

The tragic situation of the troll spellcaster immediately caused other troll soldiers to hide.

These troll soldiers and hunters with considerable combat experience have basically figured out the hunting target of Dragoon No. 2 Golem.

As long as you don't deliberately block their way, attack head-on, or gather in groups, you won't provoke them to attack.

Of course, this also means that the troll military camp has completely lost its combat effectiveness and can no longer pose any threat to the Gulf Territory.

Just when the troll camp was about to be completely controlled, some shaking figures quickly fled into the jungle in all directions.

Dragoon No. 2 Golem did not launch a pursuit against them, but coldly blocked every entrance to the camp.

Just when many troll soldiers were ready to move.

These troll leaders who were running wildly suddenly found their bodies in different places.

The tumbling head fell down, and blood spurted out more than ten meters high.

Before these troll leaders could react, the Thunder Warriors, who had been waiting for a long time, had already emerged from their invisibility.

Amid the horrified roars of these troll leaders, they mercilessly killed them.

The troll leader who had barely reached the high-level peak was beheaded by the Thunder Warriors.

Countless troll soldiers withdrew their gaze and continued to hide in the corner shivering.

They are frightened, confused, frightened, and overwhelmed.

Matthew suddenly smiled, not because he was appreciating the soldiers' crisp killings, but because he felt very subtle spatial fluctuations.

He directly picked up a dragon-hunting crossbow, aimed in the direction of the spatial fluctuations, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The crossbow arrows flew out in a rotating direction, with flashes of dazzling electric light, and accurately hit the target tent.

Crackling!

The spreading lightning filled the air, and several sharp screams of pain could be heard vaguely in the air.

The spatial fluctuations that were originally condensed disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Before the figures in the tent could run away, several burly Thunder Warriors had already been teleported there.

They held their chain-toothed giant swords high and chopped down several Cole elves that flew towards them without hesitation.

These Cole Elf warriors died miserably, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the sound of the chain-toothed giant sword cutting made the remaining Cole Elves fearful.

Before the Thunder Warriors could continue their attack, the surviving Cole Elf caster threw away his staff without hesitation and shouted loudly:

"We surrender!"

The Thunder Warriors were slightly stunned, but they didn't kill them. They tied them up like chickens and filled them with several bottles of sleeping potion.

Then, call the Dragon Knight above.

Seeing the flying dragon knights rushing down from the sky, the powerful force and strong wind they brought with them made the already frightened troll soldiers bow their heads obediently.

Not because they suddenly became smarter, but because it was already playing in the sky:

"All trolls, listen, as long as you put down your weapons, kneel on the ground, and surrender quickly, you will be fed and clothed."

The troll slaves, who were very familiar with surrender, rushed out without hesitation and knelt directly on the ground.

Matthew looked away and nodded silently.

Jifan, who was following behind, said thoughtfully:

"Is this the usual role of publicity? It seems quite trouble-free now."

The Gulf Territory does not hesitate to spend a little effort to "communicate" with the surrounding intelligent life and the territory.

Whether you make them yearn for the Gulf Territory or simply attract them here, you can take advantage of them when fighting.

After learning that the Cole elf spellcaster had been caught, Matthew remained motionless, carefully sensing any fluctuations in spellcasting.

A huge military camp with over 50,000 troll soldiers!

There can't be only such a small group of Cole elves!

Matthew was very familiar with them, so naturally he didn't want to miss the opportunity to "communicate" with them.

After all, the underground world needs their "contribution". (End of chapter)
