Emperor of Arcane

The brutal and fierce battle brought huge casualties.

Just one day's work.

The gnoll slaves alone suffered 20,000 casualties.

There were corpses everywhere, exuding a strong smell of blood and stench.

The blood that gathered together turned into a red stream.

Even though they were mentally prepared, the drow who issued the attack order were still a little uneasy.

The combat effectiveness of the Gulf Territory soldiers was astonishing. Not only did they block the attack, but they also had amazing resilience, as if they could not be defeated no matter what.

The drow who temporarily chose to retreat looked at the fear in the eyes of the gnoll slaves and started discussing.

How to break through the enemy's defenses now?

"Clean up the bodies, remove those parts that were collected, and burn the rest."

"Patrol carefully to prevent the drow from bypassing us."

After arranging the battlefield matters, Arnold rubbed his face, couldn't help but take a long breath, and looked at the resting soldiers.

After confirming that the soldiers were in good mental condition, he turned to Beelzebub and said:

"The battle on the main battlefield has been resolved. We can withstand their attack and win soon."

Beelzebub, who had some itchy hands, silently watched the reformed warrior who was recording his physical condition, and whispered expectantly:

"The combat ability of the modified soldiers is particularly outstanding. When will it be extended to the entire army in the future?"

Arnold shook his head regretfully, pointed to the seriously injured soldier not far away and said:

"If the strength is not enough, or the physical potential is not fully developed, the success rate of transforming warriors is not high, currently only about 40%."

"Moreover, each successful transformation of a warrior requires an investment of more than 100,000 gold coins."

"That's a lot of money!"

100,000 gold coins?

Beelzebub, who felt a little stunned, couldn't help but show an expression of understanding.

According to what he knew about the training costs of the barbarian tribes.

Those professionals with good talents (basic main attributes reaching 14 points) usually only need 20,000 gold coins to go from entry-level to high-level.

It probably takes about 10 to 15 years.

The time is shortened by nearly 10 times, and the cost is increased by 5 times.

This is what the lord said: "Use my money to buy your time!"

News from the front line reached Matthew.

He turned to look at the ruins of the drow camp, couldn't help but smacked his lips and said:

"It seems that every evil god can do this trick to some extent!"

Matthew recalled the situation during the battle against the great evil god Lathander, and it seemed that there was something strange about it.

He couldn't help but touch his chin, looked at the burned body of the gnoll slave, and couldn't help but mutter:

"Are there really so many fanatics?"

Yaya rolled his eyes and couldn't help but yawned. He smiled and said:

"It seems easier to kill them after they make a mistake!"

Yaya’s words reminded Matthew.

Giving Yaya a thumbs up in admiration, Matthew relaxed and said:

"That's right, as long as we are strong enough, these methods alone will not be able to defeat us."

Although he said so, Matthew still would not underestimate this method.

Although the destructive power produced on the battlefield is average, for civilians who are not strong, the lethality is too great.

Maybe, we should prepare early.

"Clean the battlefield and burn all the bodies."

"Invite the priest to come and perform a purification ceremony."

"Inform the Goddess Church that we need a batch of high-purity holy water."

Angela stared at the burned ruins and disposed of them in a special way.

In the future, they will encounter more dangerous and terrifying enemies, but the soldiers of the Gulf Territory are fearless.

The next two days.

The supporting drow army failed to break through the Gulf Territory's defenses and suffered heavy losses.

More than 50,000 jackals were killed, and the stench of the burned corpses did not dissipate after more than 10 days.

The cunning drow gave up the offensive after one more small attempt.

After they waited for the gnoll slaves to be almost dead, they simply chose to retreat.

Matthew did not rush out. He first arranged for adventurers to collect surrounding intelligence and clean up the dangerous monsters in the underground world.

You may not be able to eradicate these monsters, but you can at least find their locations.

When the time comes, send combat troops to deal with them and create a safer internal environment.

Soon, more information and discoveries reached Matthew's hands.

"We found two small iron ore deposits. Although the reserves are small, they are easy to mine and the quality is quite high."

"The value of each vein should be around 30 million gold coins."

Matthew is not prepared to take action on these two iron mines. The profit from mining is not high now. When a new round of magic tide arrives, these veins are likely to bring new surprises.

"Two high-value rare magic plants were discovered, and the quantity is quite large, suitable for making a training base."

"Currently, some plants have been collected and sent to the Druid Greenhouse for cultivation."

The thirst for more magical plants is a desire that the Bay Territory will never satisfy.

Although the light in the underground world is poor, species and various resources are very rich.

As time goes by and the territory it occupies becomes larger and larger, the Gulf Territory will naturally collect more and more resources.

What makes Matthew feel interesting is that.

After the Gulf Territory eliminated a large number of reinforcements from the drow elves.

There was no subsequent attack from the drow troops.

Intelligence indicates.

After defeating a large army of gnolls, the drow retreated back to the passage they came from with nearly 200,000 gnoll slaves.

Placed in front of the bay collar.

It is a small passage that can lead to the territory of the jackals.

Matthew thought carefully about the purpose behind the drow, and a somewhat absurd idea came to his mind.

"Are the drow elves planning to invite the Gulf Territory to carve up the Gnoll Kingdom together?"

"They are not so kind..."

Matthew analyzed it carefully and determined through the combined intelligence that the drow army had re-chosen a farther attack route, and couldn't help but think about it.

"The drow are really smart!"

"This is to give me "good fruit" and induce me to take the initiative!"

Anyway, it was the jackals who were beaten, and the drow had nothing to lose.

It also exposes the Bay Territory to more power.

By the way, it can also help the drow attract the attention of the gnolls and reduce their offensive pressure.

It's simply a feat!

Such a "generous" act for the drow.

In line with the principle of "if you don't take advantage of something, you're a bastard", Matthew decisively sent out more adventurers.

Waited for about 3 days.

After the Gulf Territory thoroughly investigated the specific situation of the drow and gnoll kingdoms.

He chose to send troops very simply!

It's already here!
