Emperor of Arcane

Matthew made a simple start and soon handed over the stage to Mordenkainen and others.

In the conference hall, they showed the magical images of various weapons and spoke out their advantages and disadvantages without any secret.

In the laboratory shooting range next to the conference hall, various shooting experiments fully demonstrated the characteristics of these weapons.

Amazing attack range.

It can achieve medium-level and high-level killing effects respectively.

A very scary attack speed.

Very amazing continuous shooting ability.

All fully reflect its strength.

Most of the people participating in the meeting have had contact with weapons and equipment, and even those who are not professionals can see its advantages at a glance.

To deal with most of the existing armies and armed forces of various forces, the amazing attack range can easily crush them.

According to actual combat images, facing a combat team of hundreds in the Gulf Territory, equipped with a firepower network of light and heavy machine guns, it can easily defend against attacks by more than 3,000 soldiers.

Regardless of the opponent's profession, configuration, or weapons and equipment, they are completely unable to withstand the barrage of firepower.

This brand new weapon has almost no rivals.

Everyone tried to find its shortcomings, but all failed.

They immediately realized that this weapon would become one of the main weapons for soldiers and professionals for a long time to come.

However, when they asked about the cost of these weapons, a little weird expression appeared on their faces unconsciously.

"A heavy machine gun costs 50,000 gold coins, and a light machine gun costs 10,000 gold coins."

Such an astonishing price makes most ultra-level professionals unable to afford it.

For most high-level professionals, if they have so much money and resources, they are more willing to use it to improve their strength.

Of course, this is true, but the excellent killing effects of these two weapons are undoubtedly very important for soldiers who want to conduct large-scale operations.

For some outstanding adventure groups, it is also necessary to equip these weapons.

If the other party has this kind of weapon, if we don't have it, we will be completely unsure.

In this case, it is most important for everyone to configure this weapon together.

In addition to being very expensive, Gulf Territory also showed everyone other "flaws" of these weapons.

"Light and heavy machine guns consume a lot of ammunition. A battle lasting about half an hour requires more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition."

"Light machine gun ammunition is relatively cheap, costing about 2 gold coins per round, while heavy machine gun ammunition is relatively expensive and can reach 10 gold coins."

As soon as these words came out, the big guy who was in high spirits just now became dumbfounded the next moment.

A heavy machine gun and several light machine guns cost more than tens of thousands of gold coins in a battle. This price was completely unacceptable to them.

The fired ammunition is certainly very destructive, but in the eyes of most lords and nobles, these are their gold coins!

They would rather let the soldiers continue to use their original weapons and equipment than equip them with light and heavy machine guns.

I can barely afford it, but I can’t afford it at all!

Seemingly noticing everyone's embarrassment and helplessness, the smiling Mordenkainen was already prepared.

He released a new batch of magic images and said in a firm and helpless tone:

"I believe everyone can see the potential of these weapons and should also want to use such weapons to defend against various dangers."

Everyone here was not a fool. They immediately pricked up their ears and were ready to listen carefully.

The Gulf Territory clearly knows its functions and shortcomings, but it still wants to show it openly. It is obvious that there is a solution.

"Although their price is very high and the cost of use is also very shocking, these costs can be gradually reduced..."

"Key parts of these weapons and equipment can be replaced with cheaper and equally effective materials."

"Some less important parts can also be improved in other aspects..."

"They shoot too fast and consume too much ammo. We could also work on smaller versions of them."

"In this way, we can reduce part of the lethality and attack distance, and obtain a more cost-effective solution..."

The many ideas put forward by Mordenkainen and the corresponding improvement directions immediately cheered everyone up.

After Mordenkainen finished speaking, everyone was waiting for their insightful speeches and discussions.

Some weapons and equipment production staff couldn't wait to start discussing.

"The attack distance can be shortened, and naturally it can also be extended. A gun with a longer shooting range can be made..."

"The caliber can also be adjusted, it can be natural or small..."

"It is not light in weight. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to operate and move it alone. Some materials and parts can be replaced with lighter materials..."

"After all, its aiming method is simple and can be more accurately controlled and improved..."

"The production process can also be improved to further reduce costs..."

"..."

Various different directions for discussion.

Some of them sound meaningless, just crazy conjectures.

Some of them sound quite insightful, but they are actually moving closer to their own expertise, hiding other little thoughts and secrets.

Some of the angles are tricky, but they give people a lot of inspiration.

Some of the prefaces do not match the subtitles and are full of personal peculiar ideas.

Bayland staff did not comment on any of the plans, other than to document any thoughts that went into them.

Mordenkainen on the stage even affirmed some of the ideas.

And, he made it clear that everyone can participate.

If someone's plan convinces others, they can lead research and improvements in that area.

In order to arouse everyone's enthusiasm, Bayland offered quite generous remuneration and incentives for transformation.

In the unknowing discussion, these professionals who had just arrived in the Gulf Territory for a day had already gradually become a Gulf Territory.

Butler Ralph made even more exciting invitations to the representatives and envoys of each caravan.

He also did not hide the various technologies and requirements for making light and heavy machine guns, and expressed to everyone very simply:

"I believe everyone can see its wonderful market prospects. Whether it is improving strength or earning gold coins and resources, there is a lot to do."

After hearing this, the big guys thought about the light and heavy machine guns that had performed very well and made them excited.

They thought of the weapons and various equipment of the Gulf Territory that made them even more curious, and nodded without thinking.

Since the Gulf leaders are willing to share it with everyone and are willing to open this door, they can still see tangible benefits.

Wouldn't it be foolish to refuse?

Butler Ralph handed hundreds of problems and dozens of materials, as well as various production factory conditions, to the appointed representatives and envoys.

They soon discovered that the various things prepared for them by the Gulf Territory were very consistent with their territory's specialties.

It can be said that the problems and interests in this area are the easiest for them to solve and obtain.

This shows the intentions of the Gulf Leader!

Facing a pair of stunned and somewhat disbelieving eyes, Butler Ralph smiled and said to them:

“We must first fully develop this huge market, which requires the joint efforts of everyone.”

"In addition to everyone's best show, other issues in the Gulf Territory need to be solved..."

"If you have any ideas, you can have a good chat with us..."

Many messengers and team leaders nodded thoughtfully to what Butler Ralph did not say.

Some common interests, some secret interests.

The former allows the Gulf Territory to unite everyone into a relatively stable but loose coalition that does not make people feel vigilant.

The latter allows the Gulf Territory to cooperate in depth with some territories and forces to jointly explore interests that are beneficial to both parties.

Although the Gulf Territory took the initiative, some team leaders and envoys were a little unhappy.

But the powerful strength and status of the Gulf Territory made them choose to eat it first without hesitation in the face of real interests.

"Others have chosen to cooperate with Gulf Leader, so naturally we cannot suffer any loss!"

"As for other issues, we will discuss them at that time."

When everyone had this idea, the Gulf Territory successfully completed its first large-scale joint research plan.

Hundreds of researchers were quickly invited to various major research institutes by thoughtful leaders from the Gulf.

There, they saw many advanced instruments and equipment from major research institutes in the Gulf Territory.

There were huge steel processing machines beyond their imagination.

There are complex tower spirits that can operate on their own and complete various data calculations.

There are also super processing integrated devices that can customize the production of super-level and even legendary materials.

In addition to these equipment beyond their imagination, the comfortable research environment and conditions, as well as very qualified and eager to learn assistants, all made them feel indescribable comfort.

The Gulf Territory did not have many vigilance or restrictions regarding their arrival and their thirst for knowledge.

In the words of Mordenkainen: "These guys will not want to leave, and others will not have such high-quality communication with them..."

Of course, what Mordenkainen didn't say was that for those guys with ulterior motives, it would be better to work honestly.

If they want to escape with bad intentions, there will be a very happy "ending" waiting for them.

The Gulf Territory has such "confidence"!

After solving this problem, Matthew began to arrange more combat troops and headed to the Black Mud Swamp.

It is very unrealistic to completely conceal the situation there.

However, there are so many murlocs there that they are of considerable value in themselves.

Their average combat power can reach the level of entry-level professionals.

In just one and a half days, more than 600,000 fishmen were killed by the Gulf Territory, providing Matthew with 20 million destiny power.

There are still a lot of them, and they will continue to fight for at least half a month, which can provide Matthew with plenty of destiny power.

Therefore, the Gulf Territory must maximize the use of this battle and dig out more of its value.

For example, let the new recruits from the Gulf Territory undergo actual combat.

Let many soldiers from other forces who received training in the Gulf Territory adapt to various weapons and equipment in advance.

As well as the corpses of these fish and sea monsters, we must also find ways to clean up and recycle them.

Gulf Territory has developed many methods and technologies for the utilization and recycling of various materials.

Not to mention the remains and shredded corpses of these murlocs, and even the flesh and blood tissue of the deformed insect monsters in the Brave Continent, the Gulf Territory has developed two or three new uses.

The accumulation of various income methods, although it is not certain how much can be earned, and the overall cost of the war is definitely much less than what others imagined.

It is precisely these seemingly inconspicuous methods that create the style and characteristics of the Gulf Territory that are never afraid of war.

The more wars the Gulf Territory has experienced and the more victories it has won, the stronger its combat effectiveness will naturally be.

There are only one or two losing battles, and the rest can make huge profits.

The virtuous cycle thus formed will allow the Gulf Territory's troops to fight more and more, and become stronger the more they fight.

This will drive the development of productivity in the Gulf Territory and will naturally continue to maintain an ultra-high speed.

The most advanced productivity in the new magical era, Gulf Leaders is soaring all the way on this path of pioneering innovation, and is calling on more people to follow suit.

The reason why Matthew wants to give benefits to other kingdoms, organizations and forces is not only to temporarily win over them to fight against the Cole Elf Kingdom.

In order to continue to strengthen the momentum of the Gulf Territory, Matthew and the Gulf Territory can officially start poaching corners from the Netheril Empire and make more contributions.

Letting the spellcasters work for the Gulf Territory in Sewenden is only the most insignificant part.

Matthew confirmed that the overall battle situation was running well, and Angela prepared a number of means to deal with various emergencies.

He safely left the battlefield to Angela's charge.

While he was researching new transformation surgeries in the Gulf Territory, he continued to guide the Gulf Territory to bravely climb the technology tree.

While traveling to many battlefields in the Silver Moon River Plain, Dark Forest, and Brave Continent, ensure the occupation and digestion of these areas.

In June, the elemental tide is coming!

Gulf Territory not only needs to reap the most generous dividends, but also lays a solid foundation to prepare for subsequent rapid development.

Digest these newly expanded territories quickly, low-key, and carefully.

It will be filled with the manpower recruited and absorbed in recent months.

The strength and foundation of the Gulf Territory will usher in a qualitative leap.

At that time, whether it is fighting for more demiplanes or expanding more territory, the Gulf Territory will have more confidence and cards.

The Gulf Territory maintained the stability of the battlefield relatively easily, which made the Naga army commanders who tried to consume the Gulf Territory very unhappy.

However, facing the powerful combat effectiveness and various weapons displayed by the Gulf Territory, they have no intention of leaving the ocean and going deep into the land.

The Dark Scale Nagas hesitated. They must remobilize their forces or open up another battlefield to completely break the Gulf Territory's defense line.

However, before they could react like this, the Gulf Territory had already deployed various defense lines in various areas along the Black Mud Swamp.

More than 20 developmental defense bases have been built.

A city wall that is hundreds of kilometers long and can stop most ordinary fishmen.

With the efforts of more than 50 mechanical road lords, it stood up slightly but "terrifyingly".

The Naga army that went to investigate found the "Great Wall" standing in front of them.

An unspeakable fear tightened deeply on their hearts.

Facing such an opponent, even if they have almost countless fish-men soldiers, it will be difficult to break through their blockade and defense in a short period of time, let alone defeat them.

All the actions of the Gulf Territory were naturally observed by the Cole Elf Kingdom.

They also immediately realized the huge threat posed by the Gulf Territory's various golem machines and the Gulf Territory's powerful army.

However, the special confidentiality methods used in Gulf Territory manufacturing are rapidly being upgraded through technological excavation and accumulation time and time again.

The mage laboratory in the Cole Elf Kingdom is able to copy and produce most of the weapons and equipment produced in the Gulf Territory.

However, the resources and price they paid were dozens of times that of the Gulf Territory to produce these weapons and equipment.

Moreover, they are unable to master the technical details of these weapons and equipment, let alone crack them.

This means that they cannot produce these weapons and equipment on a large scale and can only purchase them from the Gulf Territory or "trade" them through various channels.

This pair boasts of mastering many magical techniques and knowledge.

For the Elf Kingdom of Cole, which is truly the "Capital of Magic" and the "Holy Land of Spellcasters," this is absolutely intolerable.

As a result, many people in the Cole Elf Council began to put forward proposals to vigorously develop technologies such as golems, machinery, and magic applications at the suggestion of Councilor Caledor.

For the Cole Elf Kingdom, this is a proposal that can quickly improve its strength, vigorously develop new productivity, and quickly form a magic factory industry chain.

Unsurprisingly, it was rejected!

Tyrion, the prince of the Cole Elf Kingdom, commander of the Phoenix Guard, representative of the royal family, the legendary pinnacle Cole Elf Archmage, and Speaker of the Cole Elf Parliament, personally rejected the proposal.

Even if it has been approved by more than 2/3 of the members of the Cole Elf Parliament, it can be legally implemented smoothly.

However, Tyrion used his privilege to veto it.

His reason was very simple, and it made many Cole Elf councilors angry and helpless.

"Not allowed!"

Who doesn't allow it?

The royal family that controls the largest number of legendary archmages in the kingdom?

Those spellcasters who control more than 80% of the entire kingdom's magic resources?

Or the aloof elves and gods?

All kinds of helplessness and anger made the faces of the elf councilors look very ugly.

Tyrion, who was also conflicted and unable to accept it, said stubbornly with a hard face:

"The ambitions of the Gulf Territory are so great that they want to swallow up the entire other territories and forces in the human kingdom."

"However, their strength and heritage are not enough to support their ambitions."

"It won't be long before they reveal their true colors and want to embezzle other people's interests..."

"At that time, we will be able to carve up the Gulf Territory again. No matter what kind of technology, we can get it."

"Time is on our side!"

Regarding Tyrion's remarks, Councilor Caledor still maintained a very calm expression.

He knew very well what was the root cause of the stagnation of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

However, none of the Cole elves can resist!

Councilor Caledo blinked and looked at the Gulf Territory, which was not very big but could already cause enough trouble.

In a daze, he seemed to see a scene that frightened him.

The Gulf Territory led many human kingdoms and forces to rapidly develop using various golem machines.

The Cole Elf Kingdom is still resting on its laurels, silently watching the "play" of these short-lived species.

Finally, humans, who had stronger power and more resources, took action against the Elf Kingdom of Cole, which still wanted to be the boss.

The sky-blocking cannonballs and destructive fire made Councilor Caledor suddenly wake up.

By this time, the meeting was over.

Councilor Caledor, with beads of sweat on his forehead, turned to look at Archaon who said nothing, exhaled slightly and said:

"You are right. We cannot allow humans to develop so rapidly."

"Use that plan!"

"The Gulf Territory wants to attract more kingdoms and forces to develop together. This is a trap for us, but it is also an opportunity for us."

Archaon nodded silently, staring at the empty parliament hall calmly and sadly, without saying what was in his heart.

"No one can resist our methods!"

"The way to become a god!"

…

January 8, 134.

Dinosaur Island.

The Gulf Territory, which has completed its renovation and combat deployment, has established several large-scale fortresses with strong defenses and stationed with powerful troops and many adventurers.

When the long-range weapons on the fortress were replaced by heavy artillery newly developed by the Gulf Territory.

Within a radius of several kilometers, Japanese pirate ships and sea monsters commanded by Naga no longer dared to appear.

However, they still continue to send fishmen, soldiers, slaves, sea monsters and all kinds of cannon fodder into the thunder demiplane.

The Gulf Leader made various preparations, and was led by Matthew, who was temporarily free, to prepare to enter the Thunder Demiplane from the two entrances taken by the Gulf Leader.

The huge gains in the demiplane of Catachan and the mechanical demiplane are an important reason for the rapid development and rise of the Gulf Territory.

Regardless of the talents, technology, and resources inside, it can provide a steady stream of power for the further development of the Gulf Territory.

Therefore, Matthew would naturally not miss such a good opportunity and let the Cole Elf Kingdom, Naga, or even Japanese pirates get their hands on the wealth here.

It may be difficult to control all access points from the outside.

The Gulf Territory currently does not have enough navy and manpower to do these things.

However, if you can control the core power of the thunder demiplane, blockade and layout from inside.

Matthew is confident that he can take advantage of the Thunder half plane.

More importantly, Matthew needs an extreme and dangerous environment to accumulate more data and information for the ninth transformation surgery.

Matthew has confirmed the content of the ninth surgery, which is to further strengthen the liver and spleen.

In this case, these experimental subjects delivered to the door can save Matthew a lot of trouble and energy.

Just in time, taking over the Thunder demiplane will be used as a preview to support the Ellasco plane.

Matthew has been coveting the treasure there for a long time.
