Emperor of Arcane

The horrific explosion scene is not the bloody scene that everyone imagined.

But the thrilling feeling of erasing everything makes many people who know the inside story even more frightened.

Especially the Seventon spellcasters who had just experienced the baptism of weapons and equipment from the Gulf Territory suddenly found that their understanding of the Gulf Territory was still a bit too one-sided.

"What the hell? I thought that the Gulf Territory had better production technology, more spellcasters, or better magic item makers. But now it seems that is not the case at all."

"So many magical creations? Such large enchanted weapons? Even if it's just a consumable item like a magic scroll, it's a bit too exaggerated, right?"

"This is not magic at all!"

"What kind of weapon is this? An alchemical bomb? It doesn't look like it."

"I saw the dense magic lines on it. This is a very large alchemy bomb, and it is also one that can fly by itself, adjust its direction, and track."

"Such a big alchemy bomb? How much does it cost?"

“With Gulf Territory’s production capacity, the price should be much cheaper than we thought.”

"We don't know that. Only the Gulf leaders know."

"..."

Various discussions began to gradually delve into the essential characteristics of the Gulf Territory.

Time did not stop with their discussion, and the battle in Black Mud Swamp continued.

The mighty cannonballs were launched in a steady stream like raindrops.

The rotating camera gradually fell into the artillery formation below the city wall.

Various magic equipment and golem trucks quickly delivered various shells and supplies.

Different from the fierceness or indignation that everyone imagined, the expressions on the faces of the soldiers in the Gulf Territory combat troops mostly revealed relaxation and calmness.

Many people felt that their fighting process was like the working scene of a production factory in the Gulf Territory.

Simple and efficient!

But the destructive effect it showed made most of the forces feel numb.

Their combat troops are still fighting with swords, guns, swords and halberds. They must be elite troops with the conditions to possess such deadly weapons as crossbows and cavalry.

Only the ace troops of various countries can have combat sequences such as magic artillery and flying troops.

Moreover, quite a few of the ace troops were recently formed, or they gradually recovered after receiving support from the Gulf Territory and inspiration.

If their combat forces faced off against the Gulf Territory, they would face such a terrible devastating blow.

I am afraid that in just a few minutes, their morale will be completely depleted due to excessive casualties, and then they will quickly spread and flee.

No matter how strong the will is, no matter how elite the troops are, they cannot withstand such a blanket bombing of destruction.

The combat power and muscles revealed by the Bay Collar gave them a "little" shock in a way beyond everyone's imagination.

Angela glanced at the overall battle situation, paying close attention to the red dot assault positions representing the enemies in all directions. Under the illumination of the camera, she aimed at a prominent enemy and issued an order:

"Heavy artillery units, knock them out!"

When the big guy heard this, his ears immediately pricked up.

Those artillery pieces that they thought were already very large were actually not heavy artillery pieces. So what kind of lethal effect would they bring?

Under everyone's gaze, the rotating camera suddenly left the city wall.

It passed through the flames one after another, amidst bursts of exclamations, passing through the battlefield littered with corpses.

After flying for about 20 seconds, the camera quickly reached the target area it wanted to attack.

A large group of dragon turtles wrapped in water flow barriers, dozens of huge and burly sea giants, and several Nagas wearing colorful armors.

The camera quickly zoomed in to see the ferocious faces of these Naga soldiers, noting the scales on their faces, their angry expressions, and their eyes full of rage.

Everyone suddenly thought that these very scary-looking Naga monsters should indeed be eliminated.

Even if he looks ugly, he still wants to make trouble!

The bay is good, the naga is bad!

Just when such thoughts emerged in everyone's mind, everything in front of them was suddenly surrounded by explosions of fire.

The terrifying flames rose up like a giant monster, surrounding the camera with its teeth and claws, and instantly swallowed it up together with the camera.

The entire terrifying scene shocked everyone who was watching carefully.

What happened?

Boom!

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of explosions one after another made everyone want to open their eyes wide to see what was going on.

A full two minutes.

The scene was surrounded by fire and smoke, and the terrifying destructive power made everyone tremble uncontrollably.

When the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, the destructive fire gradually extinguished, and the large number of annoying Naga monsters just now were completely gone.

All that was left of them was a pile of debris mixed with gravel, and large, twisted pits that were smoking.

It is difficult to find proof that they once existed in this pile of rubble.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the terrifying, uneven crater is significantly more powerful than the terrifying artillery just now.

What makes them even more unbelievable is that they didn't even realize how the attack that caused such terrible destructive power came.

Most people couldn't help but widen their eyes, trying to find follow-up attacks.

After a while, they saw the true source of those attacks.

A large number of heavy artillery appeared in front of the camera.

They were transported by some steel trucks and manned by a group of skilled artillerymen. They followed Angela's orders and bombarded the enemies on the battlefield.

After the camera switched, everyone could see very clearly that all marked targets would be destroyed in just a few seconds.

When these heavy artillery fire shells, they will create considerable noise in the surroundings.

When the cannonball fell, the explosion of fire exploded, bringing with it an extremely terrifying and deadly heat wave.

Even the dragon turtle with extremely strong defense could not withstand multiple such heavy shells. The turtle shell was smashed open and then torn into pieces by the gunfire.

The above horrific images come from everyone’s imagination.

The real situation is.

After more than 10 rounds of horrific bombing that lasted for more than half a minute.

One after another, charred pits replaced the locations of all the monsters.

Everything there turned into piles of gray-black sludge.

The most threatening Naga monsters and large sea monsters will receive special care.

Most "audiences" thought that heavy artillery with such a larger caliber should be more lethal.

However, the focus of some interested people is the firing position of these heavy artillery.

They opened fire more than 10 kilometers away!

Such a terrifying range was far beyond their imagination.

Just a brief thought will tell you how terrifying this weapon and range is.

No matter how fast and powerful the ground troops are, it is impossible to have as good defense as the dragon turtle and as fast as the flying snake.

This means that without corresponding countermeasures, no ground combat troops can break through the blockade and bombing of heavy artillery.

This is just the huge advantage brought by defense. Bayland is very good at defense and is also very enthusiastic about offense.

With heavy artillery, the Gulf Territory attack force can destroy the enemy from a distance.

With the heavy artillery's killing range of nearly 100 meters, even if the attacker knows that it has been fired, it will be difficult to escape.

Once the opponent opens fire, death is certain.

At this time, all the forces and organizations that saw the actual battle situation were stunned.

They watched the heavy artillery easily knock out the attack force composed of super sea monsters, and fearful thoughts emerged in their minds:

"The technology must be acquired, and at least the same weapons must be purchased."

There is no way, a heavy artillery with such a long range is an unprecedented weapon in the entire material plane.

Although its lethality is not very strong, it is weaker than most legendary spells.

But the attack performance with such a high frequency and quantity is more terrifying than most legendary spells.

This is basically equivalent to a battlefield spell releasing machine without any scruples.

It can release extremely lethal super-level spells at any location on the battlefield.

Moreover, just because you can't reach the level of a legendary spell now doesn't mean you can't do it in the future.

The speed of development of various golems, machinery, and weapon technologies in the Gulf Territory has begun to make most forces and organizations feel deeply afraid.

It wasn't until this moment that they suddenly understood.

Why did the Gulf Territory announce Matthew's promotion to Grand Arcanist at this time?

Instead of hiding it like before and waiting for the right opportunity to announce it.

It is obviously intended to form a matching effect with these dangerous weapons.

Once Matthew became the Grand Arcanist, his status in the entire Netheril Empire was completely different.

Not even the Netheril Council or other great arcanists could force Matthew and the Gulf Territory to hand over this technology.

What's more, Gulf Territory has never wanted to hide its technology.

This means that the Netheril Empire can also obtain this technology, but it needs to pay some price.

But the bulk of the profits, as well as the right to speak about these weapons, and the influence derived from them, naturally fell into the hands of Matthew and the Gulf Territory.

Bay collar + Matthew already have enough weight!

Coupled with the resources and part of the Netheril Empire's size, it is enough to make most other territories and kingdoms give up their unwanted thoughts.

Even the Cole Elf Kingdom cannot do anything excessive to the Gulf Territory in this regard.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Gulf Leadership Army, there are almost no opponents for large group operations.

Even if the Cole Elf Kingdom uses its trump card.

Without the support of basic soldiers and armies, the current material plane can accommodate the upper limit of individuals.

Nor is it likely to cause enough trouble for Bay Tie.

The Cole Elf Council started a new round of discussions.

Discuss the intensity of efforts against the Gulf Territory.

The attitude of communicating and communicating with them.

And how to get the production technology of these weapons as soon as possible.

Such debates are also taking place among other forces and organizations.

Some organizations and forces that are hostile to the Gulf Territory always have the same sense of powerlessness as the Cole Elf Kingdom.

The difficult problems prepared for the Gulf Territory are often still in the preparation stage. The strength of the Gulf Territory has increased a lot and a variety of new weapons have been developed.

After finally understanding the characteristics and flaws of these weapons, we have to invest more resources and manpower to plan stronger forces.

The results of it?

Before they could attack, new weapons and equipment appeared in the Gulf Territory.

This is not starting from scratch.

But even if they go all out, they are obviously no match for the Gulf Territory.

The span of strength improvement is really too great!

There were flashes of fire, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and violent vibrations that were heard thousands of meters away.

The unprecedented battlefield scene made the commanders of the Naga army involuntarily widen their eyes.

The Dark Scale Naga is very powerful and controls a large area of ​​sea west of the northern continent.

They come into contact with a variety of dangerous opponents.

A member of the Larenaga race who is cunning and cunning, and is good at breeding various deep-sea monsters.

A huge turtle with a body larger than an island.

The invincible demigod sea monster that can swallow everything in the world - Swallowing the Sky.

Hiding in the deep sea, he "cultivated" countless deep sea monsters and twisted evil creatures.

Like a natural disaster, deep-sea ants capable of malignant reproduction - destroy krill colonies.

At the same time, the history of their battles with humans can be traced back thousands of years.

A spellcaster who has mastered a variety of dangerous spells.

A giant ax warrior with outstanding individual strength.

The Eagle Empire has a powerful maritime fleet.

There are also port cities along the coast that only know how to defend.

But they have never come into contact with a terrifying army like the Gulf Territory.

There was no serious contact combat, only the indiscriminate bombardment of terrifying long-range weapons.

Normally, facing such an opponent who only relies on weapons to fight.

The Naga army will rely on its absolute numerical advantage to consume all the enemy's weapons and easily win.

However, a full four or five hours have passed since the battle began.

Whether it's a mechanical dragon flying in the sky or an aerial bomb dropped.

It also includes three ranges: close, medium, and long range, and can cover the entire battlefield with artillery bombardment.

They had no intention of stopping and still made the whole battlefield ring.

After going through untold hardships and overcoming countless dangers, the number of murloc warriors who rush to the bottom of the city wall is often only 1/5 of what they were at the beginning.

It would be fine if the Gulf Territory only had such weapons. Even if only 1/5 of the murlocs could arrive, the Naga army commanders would still be determined to win.

But the melee troops in the Gulf Territory also possess a variety of novel weapons.

The remaining murloc warriors could not break through the wall they were defending.

In this case, their current decision is to continue fighting.

"Although we have lost more than 300,000 fishmen, our number of soldiers is still sufficient."

"If we continue to fight them, we still have a high chance of victory."

"That's true, but the loss of sea monsters, dragon turtles and flying snakes is more than 10 times faster than in other areas."

"These rare units are of higher value and take longer to replenish, especially since we are so far away from home..."

"This problem is easy to solve. Reduce the attacks of these units, arrange for more murlocs to charge, and continue to consume their weapons."

"Human weapons production usually requires wealth and resources in exchange."

"The longer we delay, the more wealth they will lose and the less willing they will be to fight."

"Then continue to consume, and if possible, occupy this large area."

"For a long time to come, we need to dig into the secrets of the Misty Swamp."

"The human empire is still very powerful. We need to spend some time to weaken them."

"Take your time, we have more troops!"

"..."

A huge number of murlocs emerged from the deep sea and rushed towards the battlefield one after another.

They let out bursts of sharp roars and rushed directly into the explosion range of flames.

The shot ends here.

Everyone blinked in disbelief, unable to believe what they saw.

They were all very curious about the situation and couldn't help but discuss it.

Even though it was late at night and the scarlet moon was hanging in the sky, everyone still couldn't bear to fall asleep.

In the ordinary and ordinary lives of most people, they have never looked so "closely" at a large-scale and extremely tragic battle.

Various doubts and questions will keep them discussing for quite some time.

The scene that was switched over did not stop playing the picture.

Instead, after a period of adjustment, it was transferred to the production factory in the Gulf Territory.

Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The metal parts are easily processed, and after more than ten procedures, they become weapons and equipment that everyone is familiar with.

Whoops!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Various medicinal materials are processed and turned into raw materials for the production of medicines and potions in the processing scenes.

In the end, it turned into boxes of precious magic potions and potions that were so beautiful that you couldn’t help but breathe heavily.

What everyone likes the most is the production scenes of various large-scale golem machinery and equipment.

Various pre-made parts are cleverly connected together in a unique and close way.

When the entire mechanical golem is assembled, powered on, its eyes light up, and it begins to move.

Waves of exclamations appeared in various areas.

In addition to a variety of production plants, Bay Collar also has the big guys on display.

Druid Experimental Park.

Magic plant cultivation area.

Magical creature breeding factory.

Recyclable magic resource collection points.

Amazingly large livestock farm.

As far as the eye can see, hundreds of millions of acres of farmland are being reclaimed and weeded.

Many people were deeply attracted by the bay collar that showed most of the situation.

The major organizations, kingdoms, and forces that had never seen this propaganda offensive thought that the Gulf Territory was showing off its strength and muscles.

In fact, this is also a key step for the Gulf Territory to attract talents and absorb the population.

Of course, it's also part of the New Year's party.

The Gulf Territory, which has been busy for a year, quietly passed the dangerous and fulfilling 133rd year of the Nether Era, and entered the 134th year firmly and confidently.

The good news that there are still zero casualties on the battlefield allows everyone in the territory to relax and listen to the territory's year-end summary introduced by Butler Ralph.

"The Gulf Territory covers an area of ​​8.4 million square kilometers."

Land: Added 1/5 Dark Forest + Black Mud Swamp + Icewind Valley + Silvermoon River Plain = 4.8 million square kilometers → 8.4 million square kilometers

"Gulf Territory population: 10.0123 million!"

Breaking through the 10 million mark!

Currently, the Gulf Territory attracts more than 300,000 people every month from the territories and kingdoms of the northern continent, the demiplane of Catachan, the underground world, and the Canterlot Mountains!

And, this rate will continue to increase next year.

“Our cultivated land area is a total of 215 million acres of reclaimed wasteland, and last year’s reclaimed wasteland was 11,000 acres.”

"The current number of people cultivating land is 1.15 million, an increase of nearly 700,000 from last year's 450,000."

"The reclamation speed has also been increased from one person per day and one mu to one person and one day and two acres."

“This year’s estimated target will be increased from 100 million acres to 300 million acres!”

"Grain production is also constantly reaching new highs."

“The wheat yield per mu has increased from 700 jins to 900 jins.”

“The yield of rice per mu has increased from 800 kilograms to 1,200 kilograms.”

"The total output has increased from 19.5 million tons to 114 million tons, which can provide the living needs of about 760 million people!"

"Of course, everyone will not be full if we only eat grain. Everyone's favorite meat is indispensable..."

"The scale of animal husbandry has also ushered in a major breakthrough..."

"..."

All kinds of data are interesting to everyone.

What everyone envies the most is the amount of income that workers from all walks of life in the Gulf Territory earn after a year of hard work.

"For wasteland reclamation jobs, the average annual income per person reaches 30 gold coins, and 21.5 acres of farmland are allocated, which increases by 16 gold coins and 12 acres of land respectively."

"For light industry factory jobs, the average annual income per person has reached 100 gold coins, an increase of 60 gold coins compared to the original."

"For jobs in heavy industry factories, the average annual income per person has reached 150 gold coins, an increase of 90 gold coins."

"For jobs in magic, machinery, and pharmaceutical production factories, the average annual income per person has reached 500 gold coins, an increase of 400 gold coins."

"In addition, there are currently 1.53 million adventurers in the Gulf Territory, and the average annual income per person has reached 1,350 gold coins, an increase of 450 gold coins."

"The average annual income per person for jobs at the Bayland Research Institute has reached 3,500 gold coins, an increase of 1,800 gold coins..."

"..."

Rather, this is the year-end summary that the Gulf Territory tells the people of the Gulf Territory.

It would be better to say that this is a "job recruitment" advertisement that Bay collar tells others.

Many people were moved by this night, and what moved them the most was the "year-end bonus" that Bayland issued to everyone in the territory.

A large table of various delicacies.

A great end of year show.

In the words of most people:

“Only if you are like the people of the Bay Area, can you really have a good year.”

You don’t know if you don’t see it, you can only understand it after seeing it.

"It turns out that life can still be so good!" (End of chapter)
