Emperor of Arcane

August 20th.

Luodan grassland.

clear.

The translucent golden light broke through the misty smoke and fell on the ground.

In the billowing smoke, hideous and terrifying figures surrounded the towering city wall.

Sharp roars and battle cries continued to echo across the plain.

The wall of Black Wind Castle.

Hot tongues of fire tore through the air, dispersing part of the fog and burning the illusory figures.

call! call! call!

The rolling heat wave swept away, and the ghost was burned by the fierce fire.

Transparent ripples surged all over the body, and the originally blurry face became more ferocious and distorted.

The ghost's body was exuding waves of cold air, trying to fight against the extremely high temperature flames.

But the energy they store is limited, and they won't be able to support it in three or two strokes.

After they let out a silent and piercing roar, they shattered into pieces.

A burst of cold air continued to spread in all directions as they died.

Translucent crystals fell down after their death and were scattered on the city walls.

The Knights of Lordan, who had been well prepared, quickly moved forward as a team and retrieved these trophies.

Noticing that the sun had risen, Mars, who was directing the battle, took a long breath.

The dangerous night was finally over.

Of course, it is not safe here during the day. Skeleton monsters hidden in the fog may attack the city wall at any time.

However, the sentries can at least detect movement faster, and he can better arrange soldiers for defense.

I saw staff from the Gulf Territory directing the soldiers to adjust and repair the flamethrowers.

Mars, who was extremely curious about the Gulf Territory, couldn't help but come over and start a curious discussion while the other party was resting.

"What is the principle of a flamethrower? Is it difficult to make it?"

Da Pang, who was keen on exploring new markets, cheerfully explained to him:

"There is a storage space inside the flamethrower that is specifically designed to store high-concentration fuel."

"There are high-pressure injection structures and devices on the outside, which drive the ignited fuel to fly out."

"The duration of fuel is about 5 to 6 seconds. With subsequent fuel replenishment, it can continue to burn repeatedly."

"It has a very good killing effect against flesh and blood monsters, small and tangible monsters."

After understanding the basic principles of the flamethrower and carefully observing its detailed and precise structure, Mars tentatively asked:

"The Gulf Territory is willing to cooperate with us to build a joint factory for the production of flamethrowers. Should we only build one?"

Big Fat, who has become much smarter, naturally understands Mars' thoughts and temptations.

He had no intention of hiding it and said directly and decisively:

"No, the problem is just because the investment in building a processing plant is quite large. At least it requires the purchase of production lines and equipment worth millions of gold coins."

"Without seeing the prospect of returns and profits, you are just going to build one to test the waters."

Big Fatty, who has been here for several days, has already collected enough information.

The first joint factory built was not for profit, but was built to better produce flamethrowers.

This is money paid by the royal family and major nobles of the Kingdom of Lordan.

They care more about stabilizing their rule. Using flamethrowers to clean up these undead monsters is just a policy and a means.

The local nobles headed by Mars were different.

They not only realized the benefits of flamethrowers, but also realized the huge market hidden in them.

Maybe they don't understand the principle, but making money, supporting their families, and developing the economy are what most lords and nobles want to do.

Who would think that he has more gold coins?

"Is it really possible? We can afford tens of millions of gold coins."

Mars couldn't help but show his "strength", worried that the Gulf leaders would look down on him.

This kind of thing happens often, just like many magic equipment and props, they would rather not be sold than sold to ordinary people and adventurers.

Although this has some vague regulations, it also represents the arrogance of the spellcasters of the Netheril Empire.

Part of it is their own fault.

Another part is also indispensable, the "demonstration" of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

"Haha, with so much start-up capital, it must be enough."

"Your Excellency, you can check the manpower first. After all, running a large factory requires many professionals."

"If your manpower cannot be filled at the moment, our Gulf Territory will be happy to provide it."

Big Fat was keenly aware of this and started chatting with Mars very simply.

After hearing this, Mars was also very interested and began to inquire in detail about opening the factory.

As for whether this approach will cause dissatisfaction with the royal family and the great nobles.

The local nobles who gathered together to protect themselves had long been quite disappointed with them.

What's more, they have considerable autonomy. When the other party is not recruiting, it is their own business how to develop.

Mars has already thought of it.

Luodan Grassland is huge, with hundreds of nobles, large and small, and nearly 200 million people living there.

There are more and more of these weird fog and ghost monsters, and the flamethrowers produced by the joint factory controlled by the royal family are definitely not enough.

He is naturally willing to seize the opportunity and take advantage of this possible crisis to make a good plan for himself and his family.

The more Mars communicated with Big Fatty and learned more about the policies of the Gulf Territory, the more excited he became.

Mars had already made up his mind. After the factory started operating, as long as it could be sold quickly, he would immediately apply to build a new factory.

The big fat guy who was quite devoted, thought more than he did.

He has applied for a large number of flamethrowers, waiting for Mars' crisis to be resolved.

I wanted to cooperate with him to sell it and make a lot of money before the factory produced benefits.

Time is gold!

Gulf Territory staff in various places also have this idea.

Now that I have earned the money to build the factory, I am already safe, so I naturally have to think about the next piece of fat.

Before the factory could start operating, they already wanted to use the magic weapons and equipment stored and produced in the Gulf Territory to open up sales in advance.

Wait until these forces, many nobles and lords of the kingdom understand the weapons and equipment of the Gulf Territory.

Subsequent large-scale sales will naturally be more relaxed and satisfying.

It can be regarded as solving everyone's urgent needs first, helping as many lords and nobles as possible, and protecting more cities and people.

After all, this is a good thing!

Moreover, the Gulf Territory will not simply ask for their gold coins.

Instead, a large amount of gold coins and supplies will be used.

To buy professional skills, skills, special professional paths, magic knowledge, spell inheritance, rare metals, ghost monsters and other trophies that they can't use for the time being.

Ensure that a small economic and material cycle similar to that between the Gulf Territory and adventurers can be realized.

The Gulf Territory helps them tide over the difficulties and earn some benefits at the same time, basically ensuring that everyone is satisfied.

In fact, the Gulf Territory staff who understand the situation here already have more ideas.

They reported these ideas and information to the Bay Leader, giving Matthew and Ralph a lot of surprises.

Putting down the similar request for a transaction in his hand, Butler Ralph couldn't help but smile and said:

"Haha, these guys are really good at finding every opportunity, and they can think of more benefits so quickly."

Even Matthew was amazed and admired the subjective initiative of the staff:

"They can actually think of going to the disaster-stricken areas of the corresponding countries and forces to absorb and rescue people and victims. It seems that they can really take charge of their own affairs."

Reflecting on the growth of these guys, Butler Ralph was also quite satisfied, took out Big Fat's application and said:

"Hehe, there are still many people who need to take a step further."

"Only a small number of staff can be as flexible as Big Fat."

"They should be able to think of it, and they can also carry out targeted recruitment of talents and send adventurers there."

The former is to improve the foundation of the Gulf Territory, which is basic work that everyone must do well.

The latter can quickly improve the current strength of the Gulf Territory.

Whether it is the absorption of various talents or the training of adventurers, it has shown quite amazing results.

"When the adventurers eat this piece of fat, give them some time to digest and adjust."

"As their ambitions begin to grow, let them build more and more adventuring parties and adventuring parties."

"They can drive more adventurers to improve, and they can also drive a wave of growth in weapons and equipment."

"Once enough enemy information and data are obtained, the territory will arrange a wave of targeted weapons and supplies."

"You can arrange adventure groups and adventure teams as auxiliary personnel to go to various forces and kingdoms to assist in operations."

There are quite a few benefits to doing this.

It can not only collect intelligence from various places, but also understand information about the forces and resources of various places.

In addition, it can continuously strengthen the influence of the Gulf Territory on this region.

Without redeploying a large number of combat personnel, cooperation and contact with the other party can be further strengthened.

Matthew and the Gulf Territory do not expect to become like the Elf Kingdom of Cole.

Able to exert high-level influence and "control" on many organizations and forces.

But at least we need to get more allies and brothers!

Even when it comes to critical moments.

When they want to "betray an ally" or "stab a brother".

With just a hint of "hesitation", the work in the Gulf Territory was considered a success.

Not to mention, the more various types of monsters and intelligence from various places the Gulf Territory collects.

The grasp and judgment of the overall situation can also be better.

The reason why Matthew expands his business is to create more channels for the Gulf Territory to obtain resources, technology, and population.

As long as these channels continue, the Gulf Territory will become stronger day by day.

Not to mention, the many resources and techniques available from all over.

Many studies in the Gulf Territory have made considerable progress and breakthroughs.

These gains alone are enough to recover the cost.

Matthew looked through the inventions and research progress of major research institutes, and carefully looked at the Dark Forest and Zul'Gurub.

Before taking action against Zul'Gurub, the Gulf Territory must bury a nail large enough in the dark forest.

This should be used as an advance base so that the Gulf Territory's troops and numerous adventurers can rely on backing and a retreat.

As long as this can be done.

Not only can we further develop various resources deep in the dark forest.

It can also accumulate enough troops and combat power to fight against behemoths like the Blood Rage Troll.

The Bloodrage Trolls are not as divided as the Rotten Moss Clan.

They have a unified center of power and elite troops with good strength.

Although the blood-rage trolls had not shown any combat effectiveness against the new weapons and equipment of the Gulf Territory in the battles of the past few days.

Tens of thousands of more than 300,000 elite trolls were killed on the spot, 50,000 to 60,000 were defeated, and the rest were being hunted down.

It failed miserably!

But after nearly two years of data collection, the Gulf Territory has a relatively thorough understanding of the situation of the Blood-Rage Trolls.

The opponent controlled tens of millions of trolls, owned more than a dozen cities, controlled large areas of dark forests, and controlled several tributaries of the Silver Moon River that were rich in products.

They can live happily just by relying on the rich produce of the dark forest.

It can be said that the geographical and resource advantages possessed by the blood-rage trolls can be called Tianhu among the troll forces.

However, the blood-rage troll played Tianhu's cards to pieces.

Compared with the divisions of the Rotten Moss clan, they serve "Blood God" Hakkar very simply and wholeheartedly.

Pretty crazy bloody sacrifices were held everywhere.

Every year, more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of trolls are sacrificed to the Blood God Hakkar for various reasons.

If Blood God Haka is in good condition, he will definitely be very happy and want to greedily devour more souls.

Don't be surprised, most evil gods are such "idiots".

It's just some "food" and it will grow on its own anyway.

But according to the news obtained by Gulf Territory and Matthew, the entire Bloodrage tribe has been plunged into turmoil and madness.

Just stay in your own territory and perform bloody sacrifices day after day, year after year.

Their rules are also very simple. The old and the weak are given up when they reach their age, the young and middle-aged do not participate, and a quarter of the newborn children are sacrificed.

The horrific and barbaric sacrifice forced many adventurers seeking information to undergo some psychological counseling.

Matthew didn't know much about the situation of the blood-rage trolls.

He only remembered that the blood god Hakkar controlled and protected most of the trolls in the future.

But he only dared to huddle in the dark forest, and occasionally sent a team of marauders out to raid.

"The Blood God Haka has not recovered?"

"Or did something happen that prevented him from leaving the dark forest?"

"Or maybe there's a big problem with this evil god?"

Matthew's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he couldn't help but become more interested in the situation of Blood God Haka.

The eruption of the elemental tide will bring huge changes to the entire material plane.

The most important point is that it will increase the upper limit of the life levels that the material plane can accommodate.

After the first elemental tide ends, the upper limit of the life level that can be accommodated will be raised to the peak of demigods.

The top experts from various territories and forces can once again step into the material plane or wake up from the seal.

By that time, legends are everywhere and demigods are inferior to dogs, which must be an exaggeration.

But many gods can truly unleash their own strength and send out saint forms and god clones, which is something they can do.

An existence of this level possesses the destructive power of one man to become an army and invincible to ten thousand people.

If there is no opponent of the same level that can match it, it is almost impossible to defeat it, and you can only let it do what it does.

Matthew has always focused on laying a solid foundation to improve his strength.

Not just to break through and become a Grand Arcanist.

It is also to increase the upper limit of what one can carry.

With Matthew's current strength and control ability, it is already a lot of pressure to master and digest the body of a demigod.

Yaya has been fighting as a clone.

Most of the time, she was training to control and release her divine power.

Make sure they can play a greater role in battle.

In this case, Matthew has to lay a solid foundation.

Complete the tempering of soul strength, the control of bloodline abilities, and the learning and strengthening of personal expertise and skills bit by bit.

In the past few years, Matthew and Yaya have basically figured out the functions of the demigod's body and divine power.

He also gradually adapted to the fusion of divine power and body. Even if he did not rush to upgrade his professional level, his personal strength and intensity were also constantly improving.

Otherwise, how could Yaya use his clone body to easily suppress many legendary and even legendary monsters?

Although the latter has many flaws, it is not as powerful as a truly inherited and comprehensive legendary creature.

But no matter how weak the legend is, it is still a legend!

The influence and changes brought about by divine power affect all aspects.

Now that Matthew and Yaya have digested these gains and realized the benefits, they naturally want to go further.

The current status is unclear, and the future strength is not outstanding. In comparison, Blood God Haka is definitely a weak persimmon!

It is a prey that can be set as a medium-term target!

So what are short-term goals?

Of course, all kinds of monsters and evil things!

Just like those in the mechanical plane!

Matthew looked through the information obtained by the adventurers in the goblin ruins.

He hesitated for a while, then drew a red circle on a large valley 100 kilometers northwest from the dark forest controlled by the Gulf Territory.

This is Krypton Gold Canyon!

There is an astonishing krypton gold mine underground!

Until now, it has not been discovered and developed.

Or after the first elemental tide.

There are powerful players who have discovered several small veins of elemental gemstones here.

As a result, this player force relied on the profits brought by the elemental gem veins to grow bigger and stronger in the dark forest.

The small veins of elemental gemstones were quickly dug up by the swarming army of players.

Players who had lost a considerable part of their financial resources were unwilling to abandon this treasure land and chose to continue digging deeper.

As a result, a vein of krypton gold was unexpectedly discovered.

Kryptonium is an extremely rare magical metal.

It has ultra-high plasticity and strength, and can provide long-term stability for magic equipment and structures.

It can be said that in the production process of magic equipment and spell scrolls, a very small amount of krypton gold is added.

Not only can its effect be increased by 10% to 15%, but its spell duration can also be extended by 3 to 4 times.

It can be said that with these two effects alone, Krypton Gold Mine is comparable to Thorium and has become one of the most outstanding magic metals.

Its price per gram has also reached 1,000 gold coins, the same price as thorium!

Players call it Krypton Gold Mine, which fits perfectly with its effect and price.

What made Matthew even more interested in it was.

Mechanical components made of krypton gold as the main material have internal and external protection capabilities that can resist the pressure of elemental fusion operation.

Internal energy constrains the stable operation of element fusion and can withstand the impact of high-intensity particle flow and element fusion energy without being damaged.

It is equivalent to the vital inner wall of the controllable nuclear fusion generator in the world before Matthew was reborn.

The effects of the two are exactly the same. They can withstand the impact of fine particles and energy fluids and maintain their stable internal operation.

The krypton gold material not only has excellent resistance to internal and external impacts.

Used to create elemental fusion engines, it's a perfect match!

This means.

The Gulf Territory no longer needs to use the "experimental element fusion engine" that is slightly more unstable, has barely enough power, and has a lifespan of only 2,000 combat hours.

This is why, only in the demiplane of Catachan, where resources are everywhere and there are battles and valuable enemies at all times, is it worthwhile for the Gulf Territory to deploy all the Fang Ones.

If you use Yaya No. 1 elsewhere, you will be burning gold coins crazily!

If the complete version of the elemental fusion engine can be copied, then the production of legendary constructs in the Gulf Territory will be just around the corner.

Of course, to capture this gold-rich valley first, the Gulf Territory must continue to advance the control area for more than 100 kilometers.

This will reach the actual control range of the Blood Rage Troll!

With the crazy style of blood-rage trolls and bloody sacrifices, they will definitely attack on their own initiative.

This is also one of Matthew's purposes.

It is easier to let these idiot trolls take the initiative to die and be captured than it is for the Gulf Territory to take the initiative to attack.

Moreover, the resulting battle and momentum will definitely attract the attention of the Cole elves.

When the time comes, the underground forces will plunder the army, the Canterlot Mountains, and the Rocky Mountains in sequence.

It will definitely bring a little shock to the Cole Elf Kingdom!

Late August.

More and more adventurers are entering the dark forest.

Led by the commander of the Gulf Territory, they continued to hunt down the defeated troll army.

As for the huge orc army, it had turned into corpses all over the ground, burned to ashes by the raging flames.

In order to prevent accidents, the Gulf Territory also deliberately collected these remaining traces and purified them.

The processed debris will be transported to the fertilizer manufacturing factory in the Gulf Territory.

The sins they have caused to this world will eventually be returned to this world.

The continuous pursuit and hunting made the adventurers grow up rapidly.

Especially the obedience to the orders of the commander of the Gulf Territory allowed the adventurers to experience many benefits, and they even followed it as a golden rule and followed it in everything.

Fortunately, the commanders of the Gulf Territory have been tested for a long time and are not blind because of the huge advantage they have gained.

They never take credit for their advancement, but focus more on driving away the troll army and taking every bite they can.

The originally dangerous dark forest was naturally greatly reduced after being rushed through by the troll army.

The commanders of the Gulf Territory immediately asked civil engineers to cooperate with the adventurers to build forward strongholds and camps.

First occupy this area, and then expand and accept the surroundings little by little.

Although the speed of travel is slow, it is one step at a time, very solid and steady.

After Matthew issued the order to "occupy the Krypton Gold Valley".

They only supplemented some of the elite soldiers of the Gulf Territory to join the hunting and advancing team to ensure that there would be no accidents.

Instead, arrange and build golem train tracks and magic passages along the route.

A large amount of supplies were transported along the newly built golem train track, and captives and captured trolls were sent back to Bay City in large numbers.

There are sufficient supplies and manpower.

The commanders were even less anxious.

While they advanced step by step, they built various defensive facilities along the way.

On the one hand, adventurers and soldiers were arranged to rotate and rest, step by step strengthening their pursuit capabilities and accumulating corresponding combat experience and data.

In the process, news of the great victory achieved by the Gulf Territory adventurers has gradually spread throughout the northern continent.

Most of the forces who heard the news immediately verified it.

After they learned that the situation was true, they all kept the rapidly rising Gulf Territory in mind.

After that, they continued to do their own things. Their own things were not finished yet, so how could they have time to take care of the Gulf Territory that was far away?

Only those territories and forces that had transactions and connections with the Gulf Territory expressed their congratulations to the Gulf Territory for this shocking victory.

There is no way, the Gulf Territory has shown its strong strength, doesn't everyone's attitude have to change?

After all, most of the forces related to the Gulf Territory have benefited greatly from the transactions of the Gulf Territory.

At least say something nice!

The Bay Territory doesn't pay much attention to these formalities.

He only has a higher enthusiasm for the more adventurers who are pouring into the Gulf Territory.

Especially the propaganda spread throughout the northern continent.

After even showing off the super high gains and better development of the adventurers in the Gulf Territory.

Whether it is for better development or for a quiet life.

A considerable number of adventurers are preparing to head to the Gulf Territory.

Compared to the previous situation where adventurers had to travel on their own, the Gulf Territory would now reimburse travel expenses.

This time, the Gulf Territory, which had more cooperative forces, arranged teleportation areas and teleportation points throughout the major forces in the northern continent very simply.

Adventurers from all over the world can quickly embark on a journey to the Gulf Territory through the teleportation point closest to them.

Along the way, they can see their counterparts from various forces and kingdoms.

You can also see caravans such as the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, which is gradually growing in the Gulf Territory.

They could even see a trading team from the Dwarf Kingdom.

After arriving in the Gulf Territory, they will come to the specially built adventurer reception hall in the Gulf Territory.

“Learn and recite Bay Territory rules and ordinances.”

"You can get a free magic prop (magic watch) worth 2,000 gold coins, an adventurer suit worth 50 gold coins, and three months' free rent."

Before the adventurers came to the Gulf Territory, they naturally understood the basic situation of the Gulf Territory.

Know its "strict" laws and understand its "unique" rules.

The adventurers who had been mentally prepared showed no resistance at all when faced with this sudden "free" benefit.

In a day or two, you can earn thousands of gold coins.

It’s simply not that exciting!

Adventurers who "actively" received basic education from the Gulf Territory.

Soon you will encounter the second "good thing"!

That is to choose to join the Gulf Territory.

Not only do you get a free house.

And you can have farmland harvests that match your strength.

Not only can you obtain various jobs provided by the Gulf Territory based on your expertise and assessment.

You can also enjoy the benefits of your children attending Bay Collar Professional College for free study.

You can also enjoy the basic training resources provided by Bayland for all professionals.

Faced with this series of "temptations", more than half of the beginner and intermediate adventurers are completely unable to bear it!

For most ordinary adventurers.

Get a safe and stable job so that your loved ones can have enough food and clothing, your children can receive a good education, and you can always have a productive field.

This is the dream life!

And all of this can be achieved relatively easily as long as you choose to join the Gulf Territory.

Adventurers who are regarded as unstable factors by the nobles, as objects that need to be coaxed and suppressed by the lords, and as dangerous elements by the ordinary people, have you ever seen such a tactic to win over people's hearts?

After they confirmed that the situation was true, they fell without hesitation.

Moreover, they immediately accepted the first mission of the Gulf Territory.

After completing basic training and education, they will immediately return to where they came from.

Not only can you bring all your relatives and family back to the Bay Territory, but you can also bring your relatives and friends with you.

Everyone gets a reward of 20 silver coins.

If there is a professional, you can get at least 10 gold coins as a reward.

This is simply a welfare for everyone!

The adventurers couldn't bear it at all, they had to occupy the land for this advantage!

Except for the half of adventurers who joined directly.

in the subsequent education and training process.

After seeing the preferential treatments and benefits they enjoy, more than half of the adventurers will join the Gulf Territory.

Only a small number of adventurers, for various reasons, will resist the temptation of the Gulf Territory and devote themselves to the adventure missions of the Gulf Territory.

But the Gulf Territory is not in a hurry. Anyway, these adventurers are also contributing to the development of the Gulf Territory.

When they leave the Gulf Territory, most of them will not have a better environment for adventure and development than the Gulf Territory.

after that……

99% of adventurers cannot escape!

In addition to continuing to "seduce" adventurers, the various adventure supplies and equipment prepared by the Gulf Territory for adventurers have also been updated.

Among them, the most popular thing is - a powerful blood-activating potion!

The burly Da Zhuang, holding a bottle of red and translucent enhanced blood-activating potion, excitedly introduced to the new adventurers coming and going:

"A bottle of enhanced blood-activating potion with 5 gold coins can give everyone the same recovery ability as a troll."

"This is a benefit specially prepared by Lord Matthew for all adventurers!"

"Each person is limited to purchasing 1 bottle per day, and each person can carry up to 7 bottles. Remember not to trade, otherwise this benefit will be cancelled."

"Without corresponding benefits, the price of a bottle of powerful blood-activating potion is as high as 100 gold coins."

“Caravans from other places are welcome to come and buy!”

Laura, who was passing by here, looked at the powerful blood-activating potion in Da Zhuang's hand, and vaguely felt that the word "troll" was written on it.
