arcane emperor

Chapter 455: Early Recruitment (3 updates)
As we all know, the Eastern Province is a remote corner of the Netherese Empire.

The glory of the Sewenden Council and various magic organizations cannot shine in this corner of the east.

The most fundamental reason is that there are relatively few spellcasters in the Eastern Province, so they naturally do not have much say, and the empire's resources will not be invested here.

In addition to the lack of spellcaster resources, various dangers are also the reason why the eastern province is relatively "poor".

The noble lords must invest considerable resources to maintain a certain number of troops and avoid encountering more dangers.

Now, the Third Army and the Eighth Army, which were a little desperate, had to put aside their noble stature and send a signal for help to the Eastern Province.

The parliament of the Eastern Province was also very interesting and told everyone directly about this situation.

343 couldn't help but chuckle, and curiously looked through the list of supplies Matthew put on the table. After seeing the supplies to support the Eighth Army, he said calmly:
"If you want to carry out rescue, please give feedback to the parliament and let's discuss it carefully..."

Matthew felt a little novel about this routine from the Eastern Province, blinked in anticipation and asked:
"What would happen if we follow the usual procedures?"

Looking through the list of various supplies provided by the Gulf Territory, 343 beautifully checked a few new materials, placed a rare order for Blood Moon City, and answered quite easily:

"Hmm, it depends on what price the other party can offer. This is a bargaining process."

Matthew blinked in astonishment and asked curiously:
"You mean, on the surface, we are talking about feelings, but in fact, we are talking about conditions?"

"Yes, if the conditions they offer are suitable, in the style of the poor in our eastern provinces, they will definitely help."

"And we can also take advantage of this opportunity to directly start the empire's recruitment in advance and solve this matter together."

Seeing 343 nod, Matthew immediately started thinking.

What benefits can the Gulf Territory gain from this matter?
Or how to get more?
Matthew's ideas are so simple and unpretentious, and they do not prevent more contacts with other territories.

Matthew knew very well that in order for the Gulf Territory to continue to develop, it must attract more people and spread a louder reputation.

Now everyone will only remember the Gulf Territory, but it won't be long before the Gulf Territory will become their life-saving straw.

"No matter how we attack, our Gulf leaders will definitely help!"

Regarding Matthew's statement, 343 happily reported his attitude to Harley Rider.

As for City Lord Anne, she is still squatting in the laboratory happily burning money...

Seeing 343 leaving happily, Matthew hesitated for a while and then called Butler Ralph over.

"Immediately collect basic information about other territories, especially the situation of those spellcaster lords."

"Arrange the soldiers to conduct training against the coalition of orcs and trolls, and we will have a chance to take action soon."

After hearing about the "advance recruitment" situation from Matthew, Butler Ralph smiled in surprise:

"If that's the case, we can really take action this time, and we can't be too stingy."

Butler Ralph quickly made arrangements and spread the news of the upcoming battle to other people in the Gulf Territory.

Hearing that a battle was about to take place, the soldiers stepped up their training. Many adventurers were also extremely curious and kept inquiring about the news.

After releasing this news, stirring up the situation in the Gulf Territory and attracting attention both inside and outside the territory, Matthew secretly mobilized manpower and re-entered the underground world.

A new experiment is about to be carried out, and a battle is about to begin, which means one thing.

It’s going to cost a lot of money again!

Therefore, Matthew led a small team and secretly returned to the gold mine.

This time, Matthew brought various materials that he had prepared and built a magic circle to isolate sound and movement.In this way, Matthew led his team of miners and began to dig for gold.

The miner team includes but is not limited to dragon-born kobolds, digging golems that never betray, elite soldiers serving as guards, and magic circles used for material transmission.

Using a magic circle to transport a large amount of materials is undoubtedly a loss-making business, but gold is not one of them.

Seeing the large chunks of gold being piled up by the engineering golems and being transported back to the Gulf Territory through the magic circle, Matthew had an extremely cheerful smile on his face.

Even though this area is currently not within the control of the Gulf Territory.

But this does not prevent Matthew from mining these veins in this sneaky way.

This move even gave Matthew a different inspiration, if the energy problem of the engineering golem can be solved.

So can he take this action?

How about extending it to other mineral veins?

Silently keeping this plan in mind, Matthew conducted some reconnaissance and cover-up of the surrounding environment.

After confirming that there were no signs of other intelligent life activities, he chose to return to the Gulf Territory.

The shining gold ore, under the extremely happy gaze of Yaya, continuously rolled into the elemental furnace, and then flowed out a beautiful, translucent golden liquid.

After simple processing, the gold slowly flows into the mold that has been made, and is finally cooled into the gold coins that everyone usually uses.

As long as the specifications, weight, and quality are up to standard, no matter which lord casts the gold coins, they can be used unimpeded among the major kingdoms.

Usually, gold is an expensive alchemical material because it has a very high value in itself.

Even if a large amount of gold is discovered, its value will not fluctuate greatly.

Therefore, Matthew can safely "digest" the gold without worrying about the gold mine being exposed.

After all, there are too many lords doing this.

"Hey, according to the current situation, we can earn an additional 300 million gold coins every month."

"In this way, the monthly income of our territory can reach 1000 million gold coins."

"Deduct the 200 million gold coins reward for the adventurer's exploration of the underground world."

"The cultivation cost of 300 million gold coins for large-scale planting of Oriental red-leaf mulberry."

"The cost of expansion and renovation of territory buildings is 100 million gold coins."

"Laboratory research expenses of 50 gold coins."

"Investment of 50 gold coins in professional training, purchase of materials..."

"The total expenditure will reach 850 million gold coins..."

"Why do we feel that the more we earn, the more places we have to spend money?"

Yaya, who was originally happy, immediately became sad again after some calculations.

Matthew knew what kind of temper she had. After a while, she would become more open-minded and worry about another problem.

"There is another gap in the power of destiny..."
