Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1496 The End of the Underground War in Nether Calendar 838
The footsteps of time move forward little by little, neither will it be deliberately accelerated for those who waste it, nor will it be deliberately slowed down for those who cherish it.

Before he knew it, Shadow spent the last day of Nether calendar 837 in Severton. Even if Lowe hadn't told him that the heavy snow that lasted for half a month had finally stopped today, he probably wouldn't have noticed that the time had passed. Quietly came the new year.

The design plan of the independent Austrian fire device has undergone several changes, and the practical device was still not completed in 837. However, with the final plan already determined, Xia Duo believes that it will be completed next year.

……

Nether 838, January.

The Northland Alliance conducted private negotiations in Evereska that lasted for nearly a week on clarifying the territorial division of the Northland countries.

The division of Naither's territory has almost become the focus of discussion among representatives of various countries. The most critical issue is the difference between the declared scope and the actual control scope.

Netheril, Comanthor, and Yeerlan, who are related to the interests, hardly give in. It seems that Akola and Evereska, who were originally related to each other, have completely become unspeakable supporting roles.

The one-week negotiation was of course fruitless, but Ye Erlan and Irfaran negotiated a preliminary demarcation plan. Whether it will work or not depends on the next negotiation.

At the same time, within Netheril, the Great Expansion Movement has risen again. Unlike the previous rituals that were more in line with the princess's ascension to the gods, this time it is related to real territorial interests, and its enthusiasm may be called "the highest in history." "!"
The new god Shia Aedas, also known as Princess Shia, even issued an oracle, "People of Vannesse, open up the right and protect the innocence."

Even ordinary people, as long as they think they can, can go to Severton to get a development document, march towards unknown areas, and open up their own territory.

……

February.

The swarming pioneers successively established temporary strongholds in the middle of the eastern forest. During this period, the archmage summoned meteor fire rain to quickly destroy the forest in the snowstorm.

Although this move aroused strong dissatisfaction from Cormanthor, with the support of the Severton Council, no vicious conflicts occurred in the end.

As a result, the XJ Domain, which is officially named "Cologne Plain" across the river from the Kangqi Plain, is rapidly taking shape at an astonishing and elf-shocking speed!

In the south of the Cologne Plain, a group of pioneers also came near Lake Mecht, but the news that Xia Duo became a great arcanist had just spread to Netheril not long ago, and most of the pioneers here cautiously took Lake Meht as their The boundary is only opened up in the north, and rarely set foot in the south.

To this end, Niya sent a large number of adventurers to establish a temporary stronghold in the forest south of Lake Mecht, and at the same time established a trading market on the east bank of Lake Mecht, which was a sensible response to the pioneers.

As for the island in the middle of the lake, Misuo's final struggle lies here. If Xia Duo is not busy, he might come to sort out and repair the magic net, but at this time he is busy with the independent arcane fire device, so he has no time at all.

I can only ask Savile to operate secretly in private, so as not to be preempted by others.

In the north of the Cologne Plain, the lords in the south of the core area of ​​Nether are also making efforts to expand southward, trying to border the Cologne Plain as quickly as possible. Among them, the Green Tower Alliance is the most eye-catching one.

The Grand Arcanist sits in the town and controls the overall situation, and the efficiency of opening up far exceeds that of ordinary territories.

And the Rodney Territory, which was already eager for territory, under the leadership of the old and new generations of Rodney Lords, the development efficiency can also be ranked among the top among the pioneers.

As for further south, south of the southern border.

Saville went out in person and set up a large number of semi-permanent monitoring points from the Wolf God Mountain all the way south to the southernmost tip of the Army Mountain Range.

It can also be regarded as responding to the pioneering call of the Severton Council and the princess, and fixed the southeastern border for Netheril.

……

In March, the ice and snow have not disappeared.

Negotiations and entanglements among the surface countries on the division of territories continue, but the underground war has ushered in a major turning point.

In the second battlefield of Amarinda, the senior mages of Yeerlan and Comanthor and the Hammer Warriors of Danzo wiped out the twelve high mages of Drow, and severely injured the incarnation of Drow's Vengeful God.

Of course, such a battle result came at a high price. In addition to the loss of personnel of the main parties involved in the war, Amarinda’s territorial space in the Underdark was completely destroyed. connected.

Of course, for Amarinda, the destruction of the territorial space is already a very small price, which means that they can leave the battlefield from now on.

On the other side, the demon army on Danzo's battlefield began to lose control after drow's defeat on Amarinda's battlefield, which was a sign of drow's retreat.

After all, demons can be recruited at any time, and drow priests and drow mages who know how to summon and control demons are the real potential for war.

But since it is a joint operation, Danzo will naturally not let the drow's real war potential leave easily. Danzo's King Pasteur made a decisive attack, holding back the retreating drow, and Gao Gao who returned from the battlefield with Amarinda The mage and the hammer warrior together caused a lot of damage to the drow.

It's just that they couldn't annihilate drow's senior mages like they did in the second battlefield. After all, Danzo is not Amarinda, and it is impossible to agree to the destruction of the territorial space as the price.

What's more, Zall, who suffered a loss once, may not fall twice in the same place.

But as long as the drow is driven away, the underground war can come to an end temporarily, but the support of the elves is more concentrated on high-end forces. When the drow is defeated, the elf mages have scattered almost without looking The demon army returned to the station, and they can return to the surface only after confirming the situation of Drow.

The demons controlled by drow naturally rushed to die "fearlessly", but without drow's control, it is conceivable that the follow-up suppression would be a headache for Danzuo!
……

In April, the winter is still cold.

At this time in previous years, the temperature has begun to warm up, and the ice and snow have begun to become fragile. Around mid-to-late April, all the accumulated ice and snow have almost completely melted.

But this year, I am afraid that the snow will not start to melt until May, the real "snow melting moon".

At the beginning of April, the drow had fled to the deeper Underdark region, and the underground war was definitely coming to an end. By mid-April, the aftermath of the war finally affected the surface.

The most intuitive thing is that the price of war-related materials has generally been reduced, and the order of the cash cow of the Tower of Time-Lord Harlan's demon-slaying amulet is officially announced.

At the same time, the countries on the surface finally returned to the surface, and the negotiation on the division of territories was put on the agenda again.

Of course, Xia Duo's independent Olympic fire device project has also come to an end, and the official version of the independent Olympic fire device 1.0 is about to be released.
