The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The war was exceptionally brutal. Both sides committed significant manpower and resources. However, no matter how the two sides attacked, the two fortresses guarding the empire stood firm.

Although they stood firm, it was clear that the Glory Empire's fortresses would soon be unable to hold out. The magic crystal cannons, initially firing relentlessly, were withdrawn after a month of support. The two sides officially entered a siege battle at the city walls, a battle that was extraordinarily fierce.

Time quickly passed to May. After a ceasefire one day, a turning point arrived. Somehow, the magic crystal cannons, which had been withdrawn from the two fortresses due to lack of energy, were placed back on the city walls. In just one day, the magic crystal cannons fired a full two hundred times, even replacing several gun barrels. Yet, the magic cannons continued their thunderous barrage.

Whether it was the Dark Empire or the Light Empire, they were immediately thrown into chaos, forced to delay their attack. The Glory Empire's fortresses, which had been on the verge of collapse, finally held on.

The two sides had been fighting fiercely for several months, committing over a million troops. They were on the verge of breaking through, but ultimately, they managed to stabilize the situation.

The Glory Empire naturally needed to expend more effort to cope with the battle against the two sides. Fortunately, they finally stabilized the situation.

If they really couldn't hold on, it was estimated that the two sides would have to start fighting at level eight or higher, a situation that no one wanted to see.

After obtaining the perfected and complete blueprints, Dorale's clone left the empire.

In reality, he didn't have much use for these blueprints. The raw materials required high-end alchemical techniques to provide, and could only be extracted from the endless waters. The Northern Plains River in the north did have some, but the amount that could be extracted was quite limited. The real raw materials were abundant in the ocean.

Hydrogen-3 was something that only ultra-high-end forces could play with, as extraction was extremely difficult.

Dorale only took the blueprints and didn't take any raw materials. He then steered his clone towards the rainforest, because recently, the Alexander family had been constantly undermining him, trying to snatch his medicinal herb business, causing the cost of medicinal herb raw materials to rise by a full margin.

In addition to this, he sensed that there seemed to be cultists lurking in the rainforest again.

Of course, this originally had nothing to do with him, but cultists have evil gods. Dorale was still hoping for an evil god to descend, so he could get an evil god clone to play with and see what the god-level was all about.

The descent of an evil god is actually not much different from the divine envoys of the Light Church and the Dark Church, except that evil gods are more hidden and can stay in this world for a long time to harvest faith. The descent of divine envoys does not have this function.

Dorale actually wanted to capture a god to play with, search their memories, and see what the world above the god-level was like, to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

The god-level, the law-level, and the void, what is the relationship and connection between them? Also, what is the relationship between worlds? These are all things that need to be understood.

After the Profound Corpse Insect clone arrived in the rainforest, it dispersed and fought on its own.

...

Babel Tower.

Babel Tower was now thirty-six stories high.

It was a true level nine wizard tower.

Next to Babel Tower was another, even more terrifying death wizard tower, exuding an aura of not only death but also intense icy cold.

This was also a new wizard tower, one that he had combined the Ice Throne with part of the Turin Bone Tower.

Now, these two wizard towers were not in the city but outside of it.

The powerful radiation and pollution ability of an overly powerful wizard tower was not good for the surrounding wizards and ordinary people.

Therefore, Dorale eventually moved the two wizard towers out, but the city lord's mansion was not moved, only the wizard towers were.

Under his vigorous development, the originally empty city now had a vast complex of buildings, although it was not so full, it still looked like a newly opened city.

It was just much better than before.

People came and went on the streets, most of them merchants, passing through the Albis Mountains to other places.

Outside the city, many merchant caravans lined up to enter. At the city gate, a large trading place had even formed, allowing various merchant caravans to exchange goods and trade with each other, and the taxes were also very low.

Inside the Glory Wizard Alliance, the heads of several chambers of commerce sat in the living room, looking at each other with unfriendly expressions. These were all competitors.

Since the start of the war, the potions from the Albis Mountains had been cut by more than ninety percent. Now, wanting to buy potions here was simply harder than ascending to heaven. The originally cheap potions now had prices that had risen by a full thirty percent, which greatly increased costs for the wandering merchant caravans.

But there was no choice, the potions here were still cheaper than in other places, and there were many varieties, with hundreds of other developed potions that made people unable to stop.

Just as the few people were waiting, a wizard suddenly came and shouted.

"Today's quota is out, who wants to buy?"

The few people almost jumped up and immediately scrambled to get closer.

"I want to buy."

"Save it for me."

"Get out of the way, I was here first."

"You get aside, I was clearly here first."

"Damn it, I can't squeeze past you."

The wizard seemed to be used to it and said, "Don't worry, today is still an auction, but there are several thousand more bottles than last time, there's enough for everyone."

The few people immediately relaxed upon hearing this. Several thousand more bottles was indeed enough.

As for the potion varieties, the few people didn't care.

They immediately tidied themselves up, pretending to be gentlemen, and said, "Then please lead the way."

Soon, they arrived at a side hall and began to bid for the separated potions.

This was just a small interlude.

In addition to potions, some of the alchemical products of the Albis Glory Wizard Alliance were also good. Since the opening of the Albis Smelting Company, the number of various metals had increased, and alchemy had also developed vigorously. In just half a year, it had attracted many alchemist wizards. Now, the most common level three alchemy equipment was commonplace and easily available.

The main building of the Glory Wizard Alliance was often crowded with people, filled with people from various merchant caravans, adventurers, and mercenary groups, but everyone knew that the people here were all transients, who could leave at any time, and could not become a fixed population. No matter how crowded the building was, the people above just pretended not to see it.

Because the city lord liked a fixed population and didn't care about the transient population.

But that didn't mean that everyone didn't like it, for example, Sano liked it very much. These adventurers, mercenary groups, and even merchant caravans were the gods of wealth.

Several mercenaries were waiting for a mission, sitting together chatting idly.

"It's good that Boss Dorale is back. As soon as he comes back, the whole city is clean."

"That's right, what was it like last year? Those damned nobles were about to fly to the sky. As soon as Wizard Dorale came back, they all fell to the ground."

"Wizard Dorale only looks at results and doesn't care about status. As long as you have the strength to protect the people, he doesn't care whether you are a commoner or a noble. If a noble has no ability, Wizard Dorale won't give him a good look."

"That's true."

Just then, a cold snort came from afar.

The few people turned their heads and glanced over there. There were several noble powerhouses, and their strength was not low.

However, they were all mercenaries and didn't care about the expressions of these nobles.
