Emperor of Arcane

Crash!

Densely packed explosive bombs were neatly placed in front of the soldiers.

Even though they were prepared, the soldiers still couldn't help showing their sad faces and shook their heads helplessly.

They skillfully took off the finger-long explosive bombs one by one, placed them in the large magazines, and then put them into the storage space.

Although the work was relatively simple, every soldier did it very seriously.

Because they knew very well that the more magazines they stored at the moment, the more sufficient the ammunition reserves would be during the battle, and the stronger the combat effectiveness would be.

In addition to preparing for the battle, this was also a way to hone their patience and discipline.

The Gulf leader army, which attached great importance to discipline and cooperation, would naturally strengthen arrangements and training in this regard.

A larger number of combat puppets were docked in an orderly manner on the energy replenishment platform.

They were emitting a faint blue light, and the beautiful enchanted patterns and special materials were gradually blending into the environment of the dark forest.

They were loading combat programs suitable for the dark forest, and completing energy replenishment and adjustment of combat equipment by the way.

Lianna, with a calm face, said to the commanders of the Gulf Territory very straightforwardly:

"Our goal this time is to take over the entire Dark Forest."

"In addition to this, the second goal is to capture as many trolls as possible."

"To achieve these two points, not only must the speed of advancement be fast, but also close coordination must be done."

"Pushing forward all the way will take the shortest time, but the intensity of the battle will definitely be maximized."

"Once our attack is frustrated, the powerful Cole Elf Kingdom will definitely support the trolls."

"So, we must formulate a strict and more fault-tolerant combat plan."

Rubbing his fingertips gently, Sera, who was wearing a set of gray-black combat armor, noticed that the area of ​​the Dark Forest planned to be taken had reached 2.4 million square kilometers.

I don't know since when, the strength of the Gulf Territory has become so strong.

To swallow such a large territory in one breath, you don't even have to use all your strength.

Now Sera understood why there were so many battles in the underground world and combat missions were also very important.

Lord Matthew and the high-level commanders still want to let the elite troops of the gray elves return to the ground to participate in this massive battle.

Staying in one place forever will naturally slow down the growth rate.

Fighting with more enemies and targets can continuously accumulate experience and stimulate potential.

While Sera was thinking, she heard the final battle plan that Lianna had discussed with everyone.

"Ambush from all sides!"

March 25.

The Gulf Territory mobilized 400,000 soldiers, plus more than 400,000 adventurers from the initial to the advanced level, and marched towards the Dark Forest in a mighty manner.

The Gulf Territory did not hide its actions and immediately attracted a considerable amount of attention from the entire northern continent.

Many people believed that this was the Gulf Territory's response to the attacks of the Kor Elf Kingdom in recent days.

Some people also believed that the Gulf Territory would continue to expand without stopping until the entire northern continent was controlled by them.

Only the Kor Elf Kingdom, which was most concerned about the Gulf Territory, immediately became alert.

They soon discovered that the Gulf Territory's big move was actually aimed at the Dark Forest.

At the beginning, the Kor Elf Council was still thinking about the purpose of the Gulf Territory taking over the Dark Forest.

It was not until Councillor Caledo clearly showed the map images of the entire northern continent, especially the Kor Elf Kingdom, the Gulf Territory, and the Dark Forest.

They were "surprised" to find that if the Gulf Territory took over the Dark Forest.

Then they would border the elven countries.

There was only a straight-line distance of three or four hundred kilometers from the east of the Kor Elf Kingdom.

Seeing that they were now alert, Councillor Caledo sighed in his heart and continued to warn them:

"The Gulf Territory will not take action unless they want to go to war with us."

"But once they completely take over the Dark Forest, their support for the El Elves will be greatly improved."

"After all, by that time, the straight-line distance between the Gulf Territory and the El Elves will only be 700 kilometers."

"With the ability of the Gulf Territory's mechanical flying dragons and large teleportation arrays, they can provide considerable help to the El Elves."

"At that time, the entire Rocky Mountains will become the territory of the Gulf Territory, and the Gulf Territory can attack from any position..."

"Can our current defense lines and fortresses really withstand the offensive of the Gulf Territory?"

At this point, most councillors were dumbfounded, and only Councillor Caledo sighed slightly in his heart.

These guys didn't think clearly at all. The Gulf Territory is not like other opponents.

In the face of attacks and provocations, they will never retreat, but will launch a counterattack without hesitation to completely destroy the enemy and achieve absolute victory.

Moreover, since the Gulf Territory has chosen to take action at this time, and even the mobilization of troops is not concealed at all.

This means that they have made full preparations. The Kingdom of Kor Elf can either cross the elven countries and directly send troops to help the trolls resist the Gulf Territory.

Or they can only accept the fact that the Gulf Territory is advancing!

Moreover, Councillor Caledo has no doubt that once the Kingdom of Kor Elf chooses to send troops, it will fall into the trap set by the Gulf Territory.

The Kingdom of Kor Elf has sent out a large number of elite forces, and the rest are being adjusted and trained.

It is absolutely impossible to withstand the three-way attack from the underground world, the El Elves, and the Kantru Mountains.

You must know that although the Kingdom of Kor Elf has many soldiers, there are few new weapons and equipment for replacement.

Once the Gulf Territory helps these three parties to launch an attack together, supports various weapons and equipment, and even guides them in combat.

Even if the legendary Kor Elf wizard is dispatched, the Kor Elf army will suffer heavy losses.

If that time comes, the Gulf Lord’s army, which is openly attacking the Dark Forest, will definitely fight with the Kor Elves at all costs.

Calculate a simple math problem!

Humans can triple their population and combat power in just 20 years.

Although the fertility of the Kor Elves is not low, they can get pregnant in one or two years.

However, the growth and cultivation speed is too slow, at least three times slower than that of humans.

The two sides will have a life-and-death battle, and the timeline will be extended to hundreds of years.

If the Kor Elves gods do not take action, even if the Kor Elves, with the help of the battle wizards, tie with the mechanical golem army of the Gulf Lord.

It will definitely be a big loss!

The previous disastrous defeat of the Kor Elves in the Rocky Mountains made many Kor Elves "roaring".

If the losses in this battle with the Gulf Lord are too great, it will not be possible to solve the problem by pushing a few unlucky people out to take the blame last time.

Who would have thought that the Gulf Territory's golem technology, mechanical technology, and arcane technology actually surpassed the Kor Elf Kingdom, and it also formed a large army in a systematic way.

The army of the Kor Elf Kingdom has just started the road of transformation under the repeated attacks and oppression of the Gulf Territory.

It will take at least several years or even longer to fully strengthen its combat effectiveness and reach the point of competing with the Gulf Territory's army.

In any case, this battle with disproportionate combat effectiveness must not be fought!

It can only be said that the timing of the Gulf Territory's capture is really "deadly".

But Councillor Caledo thought about it, and the timing of each card in the Gulf Territory seemed to be so "precise"!

No, it can't be said to be precise!

Instead, it was prepared in advance and specially designed for the Kor Elf Kingdom!

That's why it seems so "coincidental"!

Councillor Caledo didn't say these thoughts.

Now these elven councillors who are arguing are not thinking about this.

Even if Councillor Caledo said it, they wouldn't believe it.

Even if they believed it, there was no good solution, and they might even blame him.

Whoever raised the problem should solve it, right?

Senator Caledo watched them discuss for a long time, and finally reached a decision not to send troops in a mixture of anger and calm.

"It's really funny..."

Just as Senator Caledo thought.

Since the Gulf Territory has decided to take action, there will definitely be no loopholes or weaknesses.

Dense mechanical flying dragons flew directly over the Dark Forest.

The bombs that had been prepared long ago.

They fell accurately at the marked location.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Groups of destructive flames bloomed in the dense Dark Forest.

The terrifying bombs destroyed the houses of many troll clans and tribes.

The main target of the attack was not the leaders of these troll clans and tribes, but the food they had collected with great difficulty.

Although the Dark Forest is rich in resources, the trolls' food is mostly based on hunting and gathering.

These foods are destined not to be preserved for too long.

This means that they cannot store too much food.

The bombing of mechanical dragons.

All over the dark forest.

When the trolls heard the whistling sound of breaking through the air, they often felt very fortunate and prayed silently.

I hope the next bomb will not fall on their heads.

After the mechanical dragons bombed several times.

Occupying the sky of the dark forest are groups of Gulf Lord Dragon Knights.

The strong dragons are much larger, stronger and faster than ordinary dragons.

Under the training of the Gulf Lord, they have stronger combat power and wisdom.

The flying magic creatures in the dark forest are not their opponents at all.

Even the legendary magic creatures that occasionally appear dare not compete with the groups of super-class dragons.

Not to mention the dragon riders who are armed to the teeth, which can make these dragons have stronger combat power.

After killing a group of blind magic creatures, or bat riders and wyvern riders sent by the trolls.

The dragon riders of the Gulf Territory easily occupied the sky of the Dark Forest.

Unlike mechanical dragons, they often fly over the Dark Forest.

The resounding roars of the dragons, which exude majesty and momentum wantonly, easily frightened most of the troll tribes and clans.

They inevitably gathered together, fearing that the dragon riders would attack.

But they dared not gather together completely, because all kinds of bombs would fall from the sky.

In just two or three days of bombing experience.

Most of the ordinary troll tribes collapsed.

The Gulf Territory has seized the opportunity and sent combat troops to the border of the Dark Forest in the northwest.

Two or three days of work are enough for them to build fortresses and bunkers.

When the bunkers and fortresses were built, the first teleportation array area was immediately fully operational.

More supplies and personnel were teleported here.

They arranged the defense line as quickly as possible.

More outposts and warning areas were arranged at the edge of the dark forest.

The roads connecting the bunkers and fortresses and the golem train tracks will also be quickly built.

The patrol troops and armed trains will block this place and isolate the inside and outside of the dark forest.

This is the core line of defense, and the enemies inside and outside will continue to be attacked by them.

More defense lines and defense facilities will be arranged on both sides of the inside and outside.

Adventurers who are very experienced in this area will take over the defensive operations and defense tasks that are not too frequent.

The regular combat troops of the Bay Territory began to advance further.

Their way of advancement is the simplest and most simple city-building method.

Every few kilometers they move forward, they will build bunkers and camps.

Once the long-range artillery phalanx is established, the surrounding resources and areas can be controlled.

The troll tribes scattered in these areas will be beaten up as soon as they come into contact with the army of the Gulf Lord.

Whether it is a small-scale combat unit or a large-scale group advancement.

The troll tribe is no match for the Gulf Lord's army.

Whoosh!

The dull sound of breaking through the air flew over one after another.

The troll guards were not prepared at all and were hit instantly.

Then there were dense explosions, and the terrible destructive power spread to the surroundings.

The troll guards with strong recovery ability were not killed.

However, they were seriously injured and could not see the enemy's position at all.

They didn't know where the attack came from, and how to defend themselves.

Even if they didn't die, the injuries and torture would still make them unable to resist.

Under desperation, they could only retreat to the camp and never dared to go out again.

Because once they were numerous, the mechanical flying dragons in the sky would roar over, bringing them real death that they could not resist.

And when they mustered up their courage again and prepared to go out to find food or seek a fight.

The towering bunkers, fortresses, camps, and the whistling shells from afar would immediately knock out their remaining spirit.

When people's hearts were broken, the elite armed forces could not fight in an organized manner, let alone these scattered trolls.

Hunger made these trolls unable to resist. Just when they gathered together and prepared to rush out to fight to the death.

The sound of breaking through the air that frightened their souls came from above again.

They stared at the mechanical flying dragon in horror and blindly, and the unspeakable pain in their hearts completely enveloped them.

Many trolls silently waited for death and destruction.

However, what they waited for was not bombs falling from the sky, but lighter wooden boxes.

When the wooden boxes fell, they were smashed in front of the trolls.

One fist-sized meatball after another was scattered in the troll camp.

The extremely hungry trolls smelled the meatballs, and a little surprise flashed in their eyes. They tried to take a bite.

The bitter and astringent meatballs made all their expressions come together.

But the protest from their stomachs made them swallow the hard-to-swallow meatballs.

The bitter taste made all the trolls wail in pain.

The trolls who didn't taste it were shocked and thought it was poisonous.

However, they soon found that their companions who ate the meatballs, although they screamed unpleasantly and had very ferocious expressions, had obviously recovered some strength.

Driven by hunger, they couldn't help swallowing the meatballs.

Soon, the whole camp began to echo with shrill screams.

However, these trolls who were about to starve to death still survived.

No matter how stupid these trolls were, they understood what the Bay Lord meant.

That is, if they didn't run out, they would be able to survive, and the Bay Lord would give them food.

But if they didn't obey, then what would fall down would not be these meatballs that were so unpalatable that the trolls didn't want to eat more.

But eternal destruction!

The mighty Bay Lord army "surrounded" the Dark Forest from all directions.

They moved forward step by step, building one bunker and fortress after another, dividing the troll tribes and clans, and imprisoning them in place.

The imagined situation of the Bay Lord being attacked by a group did not occur.

There was only a simple advancement, which was easily handled.

With the super weapon generation gap, the trolls had no power to resist and were imprisoned one after another.

There were also some smart trolls who chose to surrender very decisively, and they also wanted to be the guide.

If it were in the past, the Bay Lord would have taken them in.

But now the situation is completely different. The Gulf Territory captured them without hesitation and sent them to the rear of the territory.

The frontline troops basically controlled the situation, and many staff and researchers of the Gulf Territory also rushed here.

It is also an indispensable harvest for the integration and development of the resources of the Dark Forest.

The population of the Gulf Territory is increasing, the professional group is getting larger and larger, and the resources needed are naturally increasing.

Although the resources developed by the Gulf Territory and the sustainable production resources are amazing now.

Not only can it meet the needs of the territory itself, but it can also be sold on a large scale to allies and trading partners.

But the Gulf Territory is used to taking precautions before it happens, starting from the long term, and establishing more recyclable resource bases.

The Dark Forest, which is rich in resources and has great potential, is a treasure house that the Gulf Territory needs to develop and maintain well.

With only 1/5 of the Dark Forest, the Gulf Territory has developed hundreds of high-level and super-level resource points, and even legendary resource points are under construction.

If the entire Dark Forest can be taken, even if the population of the Gulf Territory is several times more, it can be self-sufficient.

Such an important role is more important than supporting the El Elves and deterring the Kingdom of Kor Elf.

However, for other territories and forces, they believe that the expansion of the power of the Gulf Territory is to show their influence and annex.

The rapid advancement of the Gulf Territory has greatly exceeded the expectations of the Kingdom of Kor Elf.

Especially with the battle images with adventurers as the main body, they are publicized and promoted throughout the northern continent.

Their various gains immediately attracted the attention of many adventurers.

Watching adventurers who are not as strong as themselves make a lot of money under the leadership of the Gulf Territory.

The most important thing is that they almost do not take any risks.

The actions of most adventurers in the images are to aim and shoot, and then quickly transfer.

As long as these tasks are done, more than hundreds of gold coins will be harvested every day.

Such an amazing harvest, how can it not make people excited?

So, more adventurers from all over the northern continent quickly rushed to the dark forest.

The means by which the Kingdom of Cole Elf showed its strength only caused a little ripple, and the Gulf Territory regained the focus and attention.

They are in a dilemma now.

If they continue to fight, they will feel a little embarrassed that they are not as rampant as the Gulf Territory and show their invincible power.

But if they don't fight, then others will have more to say.

"In two months at most, the Gulf Territory will be able to completely control the Dark Forest without paying any price."

Councillor Caledo stared at the Dark Forest in the distance, turned his head to look at Archaon, noticed the terrifying aura emanating from him, and said with emotion:

"The Gulf Territory's development ability is really too strong. Not only is the route correct and the potential unlimited, but also the will is unified."

"Now it seems that all forces in the entire northern continent cannot compete with it, even if they don't have a population of 20 million now."

Archaon didn't speak, his expression was even more stiff, but his eyes were still blazing with anger.

He hesitated for a long time, but he didn't take that step after all. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Kor Elf Kingdom, and said in a calm tone:

"I will continue to go north to find stronger forces."

"I will take a group of people with me to cultivate their strength."

Senator Caledo did not dissuade him, but nodded silently, and still chose to support him.

He looked at the Dark Forest that would soon belong to the Gulf Territory, and he could already "see" it vaguely.

Densely packed cities and camps will appear in the Dark Forest, which will be completely controlled and transformed by the Gulf Territory.

If nothing unexpected happens, unless the entire Dark Forest is destroyed, it will not leave the control of the Gulf Territory.

While the Bay Territory was successfully conquering the Dark Forest, in order to divert the heat and attention from it.

A large number of orc armies rushed down from the Savage Plateau.

In addition to attacking the Blood Castle and the Carr Plain, a larger number of orc armies entered from the northwest of the Netheril Empire.

The lords of the northwest of the empire, whose strength had not been restored, fled efficiently this time and took their men to escape first.

Interestingly, they easily "killed through" the orcs in the northwest of the Netheril Empire.

They did not continue to advance into the interior of the Netheril Empire, but went all the way south, passed through the Netheril Empire, and rushed into other human kingdoms.

The impact range of more than 8,000 kilometers almost split the entire northern continent in the middle.

The powerful performance that shocked the continent made many human kingdoms and forces shout:

The Orc Scourge is coming! (End of this chapter)
