arcane emperor

Chapter 549: War is a science (8000)

The setting sun in the distance reflects the red sunset glow.

Under the illumination of Kingkiller's halo, slight distortions occurred, transforming into all kinds of strange shapes.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes, felt the quietness in his ears, turned his head with a smile and said:

"Sure enough, after strengthening the spiritual protection and thinking defense, we can barely resist this influence."

Yaya shook his head, looked up at the Kingkiller in the distance, and asked curiously:
"The Mystery Lock that can cause such a large impact is stronger than all legendary spells..."

The many memories in the bloodline, coupled with Yaya's understanding of arcane knowledge, can already make guesses about many situations.

She felt the subtle whisper in her ear and asked excitedly:
"In the future, can we eliminate its influence?"

Matthew shook his head and pointed to the dragon-blood creature next to him for comparison.

The latter has fallen into extreme madness.

Many psychic protection and other spells have been cast on it, but it has completely lost its mind.

Yaya touched the tip of his nose and gave a very groundbreaking guess:

"Is it possible that our dragon blood level is higher, so it is more resistant?"

"Besides, after all, the real body is not here..."

Matthew nodded in admiration at Yaya's enlightenment.

This little guy is getting smarter and smarter.

"We need to increase investment in this area. We may encounter more attacks like this in the future. This should be our only weakness."

Ya Ya calculated on his fingers, nodded in agreement, turned his eyes slightly, and asked in a somewhat expectant tone:

"Can the next surgical transformation start from this aspect?"

It is very difficult to achieve it overnight.

Matthew would not harbor such delusions.

If it is like what Yaya said, surgical modification can be used to overcome the difficulties.

Achieving the goal through enhancement again and again should be able to improve the deficiencies in this area.

The original purpose of surgical modification is to compensate for defects.

At least, you have to be able to stand in front of those guys!
While sorting out the memories in this regard and considering the compatibility with future development plans, Matthew felt that what Ya Ya said was reasonable.

"That's good. The sixth surgery will start to solve this problem."

Seeing Yaya's happy expression, Matthew felt a sense of comfort that the cultivation was successful.

Matthew walked into the tactics room while discussing with Yaya.

Noticing Matthew's arrival, Angela, who was summarizing, showed a bright smile and walked over to report to him:
"We have blocked the first wave of dragon-blooded creatures. A total of 1 enemies have been eliminated. We suffered 4.3 casualties and spent a total of 32 million gold coins."

In this battle, it can be said that the Gulf Territory won a complete victory.

Having harvested nearly 3000 million Destiny Power, Matthew's current Destiny Power accumulation has reached [-] million.

Matthew took the information handed over by Angela and looked through the battle situation carefully.

Matthew is quite satisfied with the performance of the Gulf leaders and soldiers.

They are worthy of the 1/4 of the overall revenue invested by the Bay Area.

160 million gold coins is just the expenditure for this battle.

The preparations for this battle have reached nearly 3000 million gold coins.

Here, I would also like to thank the rich people of El Elf.

Without the deal with them, Matthew would not have the confidence or gold coins to win the Mordenkainen team.

This will establish a new golem production factory and complete the improvement of the production capacity of the entire Gulf Territory.

"Well done to everyone, tell everyone the good news immediately and increase research on the utilization of dragon blood organisms."

Angela nodded quickly when she heard this, and she could hear what Matthew meant behind it.

The dragon-blooded creatures that are constantly "sent" over can provide the Gulf Territory with a huge amount of magic materials.

Even precious materials that are usually very difficult to obtain are also constraints that restrict professionals from improving their strength.

If it can be quickly digested and transformed into materials for adventurers to enhance their strength, the overall strength of the Gulf Territory will see a huge improvement.

Angela's proper arrangements and the follow-up plans of the Gulf Territory soldiers were all very mature and steady.

Matthew was completely relieved and handed over the task of commanding the battle to Angela.

Angela, who was well prepared, accepted the task with confidence.

She and other army commanders continued to discuss and study, and arranged the next defense and combat matters.

The long-term cultivation finally paid off handsomely.

Matthew can temporarily take his energy away from the battle and start other aspects of the development of the Gulf Territory.

Druid Greenhouse.

A large area of ​​rice is growing rapidly under the influence of magic.

Full of rice, the rice is bent and golden.

In the blink of an eye, an acre of rice has matured.

The reaper golem waiting aside quickly completed the harvest.

The harvested rice is piled into a hill.

The light on the ground lit up, showing the number 872 kilograms, and the weighing was completed.

"Ah, it has exceeded 850 kilograms per mu."

Xiao Jixiang recorded the numbers excitedly, with a little excitement in his eyes. He put all the harvest into the warehouse and reached out to record at the door of the transparent cultivation room.

"Experimental Field No. 68, Experiment No. 2732, on the effect of Fertilizer No. 42 on increasing yields."

Little Jixiang, who was walking briskly, walked to the center of a big tree and reported the results of his experiment to a fat little girl.

This little girl had emerald green hair, and her braids swayed slightly as she turned around.

After hearing the data reported by Xiao Jixiang, he gave her a thumbs up excitedly:

"Well done, you completed the task of harvesting 850 pounds. Ji Xiang, you can get 2000 merits and 2 gold coins. Can you treat me to an ice cream?"

The little girl is only three or four years old, but she looks very mature, sitting happily on the branch of the tree of life.

She skillfully clicked on the spell display, recorded Xiao Jixiang's data, and continued thoughtfully:

"There have been six separate experiments, all of which have exceeded the yield of 6 kilograms per mu, and we can prepare for joint experiments."

"Xiao Jixiang, you are doing very well. Do you want to conduct experiments with Lao Li?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jixiang couldn't help but widen his eyes, nodded without hesitation, and said loudly and excitedly:

"Quanquan, I want to experiment with Mr. Li, hehe."

The tree of life elf Quanquan smiled and nodded, made a silent gesture to her, pointed to the laboratory behind and said:

"Go there quickly, the Lord is discussing with Lao Li."

The light in his eyes became more and more dazzling. Xiao Jixiang thanked Quanquan and ran back quickly.

Who wouldn't want to see the lord?
As soon as Xiao Jixiang got closer, he heard the crisp sound of discussion.

"Hey, look, little Anna, this is a new variety of konjac, one can make a meal."

With a curious face on her face, Orianna stretched out her finger and tapped the wrinkled gray-brown konjac. Thinking of the soft and sweet taste, she blinked her big eyes and asked:
"What kind of cooking should I use it for? My favorite is fried konjac sticks."

Yaya, who was about to answer, suddenly turned his head and waved to the timid little Jixiang with a smile:
"Xiao Jixiang, please tell me how many new dishes you have researched recently?"

When talking about the dishes, Xiao Jixiang, who was full of confidence, quickly came over, picked up the heavy big konjac and said:
"I really like making ice cream recently, and I'm planning to make an ice cream drink using konjac puree and cream."

Yaya, with bright eyes, rubbed his hands excitedly, patted his chest unceremoniously and said:

"You can do whatever you want to do. If you need anything, just tell me and we can open a store together."

Xiao Jixiang, who nodded repeatedly, started discussing with them excitedly.

Orianna blinked slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, and she counted her fingers gently, preparing to record the food she was looking forward to.

Matthew on the other side was holding a batch of remains left by dragon-blooded creatures, caressing them gently and said:

"Can they continue to perform stably for decades? In this way, they are the best fertilizer..."

Lao Li nodded, thinking about his response to nature during this period, and nodded without hesitation and answered:
"Yes, the remains of the dragon beast contain very rich nutrients, and after evolution, they will be released very slowly..."

"Used to cultivate magic plants such as konjac, it will achieve very good results, improving quality and increasing yield."

"Currently, the increase is at least 30%..."

Various data gave Matthew a big "surprise", and he couldn't help but think more about the rich "value" of the dragon beast.

More resources can be invested in the raising of demiplane dragon beasts.

Matthew has even figured out a way to keep breeding and nurturing dragon beasts so that they can open up half a plane.

With their strong fighting power and adaptability.

Not only can it transform the single ecological environment of the demiplane of Catachan.

Maybe in the future, it can resist natural disasters such as creep carpets and green tides.

Once they are sacrificed, the body can also be recycled, and all parts from head to tail can be used to the extreme.

Of course, Matthew is not the kind of person to kill the donkey.

These benefits can only be "enjoyed" by dragon beasts who are unwilling to join the Gulf Territory.

For those dragon beasts who are willing to "progress", the Gulf Territory will also arrange conditions for them to grow and progress.

In the future, their sacrifice or death will also be dealt with according to their wishes, just like the sacrificed soldiers.

Matthew looked at Lao Li's year-end summary and was very satisfied with the series of data above. He said with admiration and tone:

"The Gulf Territory is undoubtedly lucky to have you all."

"I also hope that everyone will continue to work hard to jointly promote the overall progress of the Gulf Territory's agriculture and breeding industry."

"If you are still lacking any resources, just tell Butler Ralph directly. The territory will do its best to meet everyone's needs."

Lao Li, who had just received the data from Xiao Jixiang, was delighted that the experiments with a yield of 850 kilograms per mu were successful.

However, he did not tell Matthew clearly that he was planning to give the lord a surprise at the year-end summary meeting.

When the lord heard these words, he still smiled as before and said:

"It's still the same problem, we need more manpower, both druids and mages..."

Looking away from the various magical plants, Matthew shrugged and said:

"Only the Vocational Education and Training College can solve this matter. I will go take a look later and try to solve this problem as soon as possible."

Lao Li nodded excitedly and said loudly without thinking:
"Even druids and mages who have just taken up their jobs are fine. They can come in for internship first."

“While working here, I also learn from every experiment and work I do.”

"Well, and for every job, as more and more people work for it, the more learning experience they will leave behind..."

This is the reason why various jobs in the Gulf Territory are always getting better and better.

The better the experience and knowledge you leave behind, the better evaluation and rewards you will receive.

Matthew left the Druid Greenhouse and immediately went to the Professional Training Academy.

Today happens to be the day of the "end-of-year examination" of the Vocational Training Institute.

Each batch of students will face corresponding knowledge assessment.

Their grades are divided mainly based on the knowledge they have mastered, and are not differentiated by grade.

After completing and mastering the corresponding knowledge, you can enter the next stage of learning.

Assessment of various types of knowledge.

These are all the various requirements and needs that have arisen during the development process of being close to the Gulf Territory.

Improving these places and using magic and knowledge to solve them is the purpose of their study.

Of course, the best teachers will teach them to make sure they can get started.

Matthew is not worried about the quality of teaching.

What he cares more about is the ideological education of children.

They will be the new generation leading development in the Gulf, and they will receive the best education and the best growing environment.

Because of this, it is even more important to guide them more positively.

Everyone's development is closely related to the Gulf Territory.

The progress of the Gulf Territory cannot be separated from the help of each of them.

The increasing income of the Gulf Territory will be continuously invested in improving the quality of education.

Put forward higher requirements for teachers, conduct better research on various types of knowledge, and provide them with better learning opportunities and positions.

The students cultivated here can easily integrate into work.

Arrange jobs based on their best knowledge and skills.

After they complete their three-year designated work tasks, their contributions will basically be reasonably returned to the territory.

At this time, they can choose to change jobs and participate in other aspects of work after studying and researching.

Or, they can leave the work system and enter the military and pioneer systems.

This is just the way forward in work and position.

Their personal strength will also receive corresponding material supplies based on their contribution level.

In most cases, the supply of materials in the Gulf Territory is enough for the adventurers in the territory to increase their strength.

If there are special circumstances, corresponding applications can be made.

Matthew, who has experienced the original world, knows very well that the implementation of any system is inseparable from openness and fairness.

There is no absolute fairness in the Gulf Territory, but at least management factors can be eliminated.

Without widespread graft and corruption, the people's motivation to yearn for a better life can actively promote the rapid development of the territory.

Almost all the students were very excited about Matthew's arrival.

Gulf leaders do not engage in personality cults, but they promote and praise outstanding individuals.

Everyone’s positive dreams are worthy of praise and care.

Matthew smiled and communicated with them, understood the difficulties they encountered in learning, and asked the teachers about their educational methods.

Then, Matthew praised and rewarded several students who had excellent internship performance.

Lianna, a level 3 arcanist who led the team to develop three new types of engineering golems.

Rebecca, a level 4 druid who created a variety of ways to grow magic plants and completed two improvement experimental tasks.

Level 1 Warlock Orianna, who has improved the mechanical structure of the enchanted crossbow twice in a row, participated in the design of Dragoon No. 2 Golem.

Meryl, a level 6 mage who participated in the research and development of 3 new types of engineering golems and designed two new construction plans.

He participated in 16 legion battles, received 4 combat commendations, and has become the company commander of the 6th level ranger-Haigs.Matthew prepared a high-end storage prop and two knowledge and skill learning manuals for them.

All rewards are for their better development and growth.

Matthew did not take up their time for too long and soon left the training academy and went to the factory area for inspection.

The booming factory area has completed three expansions.

On the banks of the Silver Moon River near Bay City.

The huge factory area already occupies a territory that stretches for three to four kilometers.

Here, more than two factories are built every day.

Every day, more than 3000 workers enter this factory area and participate in work they have never experienced before.

Matthew mainly checks for hidden safety hazards that may be missed during the large-scale expansion of the factory.

Industrial accidents that may occur in reality will also appear in the factory areas of the Gulf Territory from time to time before the magic industry is completely perfected and replaced.

Fortunately, unless you die on the spot, healing spells and blood-activating potions will solve most dangers.

Even so, Gulf leaders and factory managers won't let up on the loopholes and defects that can easily lead to accidents.

You won’t choose to ignore it just because you find it troublesome or have to pay higher costs.

Every worker who continues to contribute is an integral part of Gulf Territory.

Matthew looked carefully at the production methods.

Ensure that every factory, in addition to having magic automatic production lines, also has semi-automatic mechanical production lines.

Walking on one leg carries greater risks.

It's safer to put eggs in two baskets.

Just when Matthew was patrolling and inspecting all aspects of the territory.

The dwarf kingdom in the underground world is also waiting for the first battle of reinforcements.

"The enemy will enter range in 13 seconds, everyone be prepared!"

Jifan drew his long sword, stared at the dark army rushing over from the distance, and shouted in a calm tone and tone:

"Dragon hunting crossbow, release!!"

hum!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The sound of bowstrings mixed with the sound of breaking through the air flew out.

A continuous barrage of crossbow arrows covered the past.

A dazzling light lit up at the tail of the crossbow!
Click!

Whoa!

After a tragic sound of penetration, scores of enemies fell down.

The "Light Technique" activated at the tail of the huge arrow lit up the darkness in the distance.

The dark army of darkness was instantly illuminated by a large swath of bright light.

Many dark warriors nearby were screaming in agony.

The sudden bright light caused terrible damage to their eyes.

Through the bright light that emerged, the soldiers on the city wall also saw their opponents clearly.

In addition to the gnolls, gray dwarves, dwarves, ogres, tauren, trolls and many other slaves controlled by the drow that they had seen.

They also saw many new enemies.

A ferocious-looking bugbear.

They are not as skinny as their distant cousins, the goblins, in the surface world. They are not only strong and fast, but also have fangs and claws.

Some of them wore thick weapons and armor, and were no less impressive than the ogre warriors next to them.

Huge bats flying in the sky.

They are called "night hunter bats" by the dwarves.

They fly in the sky in groups, are huge in size, emit deafening screams, and their claws and wings are very ferocious.

They are the minions of the drow, as well as their weapons and "eyes."

A large swarm of fast-moving smoldering gnomes.

These little men were very ferocious, and they yelled unceremoniously at the drow who commanded them.

They are armed with sharp knives and short swords, make sharp roars, and move very fast.

Behind these slave warriors, several huge eyes are floating in the air.

Beholder!

A terrifying and dangerous monster!

Around them, some drow elves were standing aside, which showed their status.

They consist of a giant eye and spreading tentacles.

That very terrifying look gave people a frightening feeling.

Just one look at it, it seems like your mind will be taken away by it.

Some of the defensive dwarf warriors showed a little fear in their eyes.

Behind these monsters, huge well carriages, dragged by troll slaves, slowly drove towards the city wall.

Jifan's eyes were a little solemn. The drow army in front of him looked more like a regular army than those the Gulf Territory had encountered before.

They laid out their basic formation.

Siege weapons and equipment were prepared.

All kinds of slave monsters also behave very obediently.

The discipline is a bit messy, but the number exceeding 3 is enough to make Jifan feel a certain amount of pressure.

Of course, Jifan wasn't too worried.

The drow slaves in front of them did not show that the gnoll slaves were completely controlled by their minds.

In terms of fighting will, they are no match for the slave warriors from the last time.

Most of the drow commanders have no experience in commanding thousands or even tens of thousands of people in combat.

Just like Sera before them, they are better at using flexible patrols and raiding units.

However, Jifan will not underestimate these opponents.

Experience can be accumulated.

The more times you fight, the more difficult it becomes for the drow commander.

Jifan has basically understood the fighting methods and concepts of these drow elves.

Tough mission, enter slave.

On a mission to get you to die, my subordinates enter.

He is good at sneak attacks and ambushes, but is weak in head-on confrontation.

"Something's wrong, why would they send out the beholder? Are they preparing for a full-scale attack?"

Wildhammer, who was about to go deep into the battlefield to learn more, couldn't help but frown. Thinking back to the probing attacks of the drow these days, he couldn't help but continue to ask:
"Could it be that the drow are preparing to launch a full-scale attack?"

Jifan didn't think much, looking at the busy dwarf warriors on the city wall, his eyes fell on the roaring dwarf cannon.

These weapons can hit really far, and if they can be improved, they might be able to be incorporated into military formations.

Jifan and Leon had very similar ideas, and both showed extraordinary battlefield acumen.

Rumble!
More than 20 artillery pieces roared at the same time.

The flying and jumping artillery shells scrambled to get into the enemy's formation, forcibly plowing several bloody roads.

Hundreds of slave warriors were killed, and the drow commander who had made some progress immediately issued the order to charge.

The ogre pushing the crash car forward let out a series of sharp roars.

They used their brute force to push the crashed car uphill.

Jifan looked at the drow getting closer and closer, and refrained from issuing an attack order.

The slave warriors waited until they were within 300 meters before announcing the release of arrows.

The continuous rain of crossbow arrows made the army of slaves rushing towards them become a little thinner.

The cannon continued to roar, causing more damage wantonly.

"Aim for the collision and take out those ogres first."

Jifan would not let the drow attack step by step.

He ordered the crossbows to step up their coverage and cause more damage to these enemies.

The bulky crash car cannot increase the speed too quickly, so it naturally becomes an easy target for shooters.

The slave warriors pushing the cart suffered huge casualties.

After two rounds of shooting coverage, the huge crash came to a standstill.

The drow commander could only order the slave warriors to continue pushing the cart despite being covered by crossbow arrows.

Every second, dozens of drow slave warriors fell, becoming the dead souls covered by the Bay Territory's shooting.

Other siege equipment also enjoyed the same treatment.

Considering the huge range of the artillery, Jifan tried to let the Wildhammer control the dwarf artillery to bombard these siege engines.

This initiative has achieved good results.

The damage caused by the ricocheting of the artillery shells can only cause death or injury to a maximum of 10 enemies each time, and the attack interval is as high as 1 minute.

But if artillery was used to deal with siege engines, three of these wooden weapons, which were already quite slow, were quickly destroyed.

The counterattack launched by the Gulf Leader army caused the drow army's offensive to pause slightly.

The latter reacted quickly, and two beholder fell around these siege weapons.

When the rotating cannonballs hit, the beholder's tentacles began to wave, and an invisible barrier blocked and knocked away these cannonballs containing huge power.

Seeing this situation, many of the dwarf soldiers forgot to continue the attack.

"What are you doing standing still? Keep attacking!"

"It's better for the beholder's spell to be used to block attacks than to fall on our heads."

Fortunately, Wildhammer shouted in time and woke up the somewhat panicked dwarf soldiers.

Seeing them hurriedly continuing to attack, Wildhammer couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He wasn't just worried about this castle, but the other castles along the line.

The attacker can mobilize troops and almost always have the upper hand.

After about 3 minutes.

The only three remaining well carriages were transported to the edge of the city wall amid the excited shouts of the slave warriors.

These well carriages are extremely huge, eight or nine meters high.

There is a thick iron cover outside, which can block most crossbow arrows.

The Jinglan cart has four levels in total, and each level can transport seventy or eighty slave warriors.

Each floor is connected by two stairs, and there is an opening behind the jinglan car that can be entered.

Once it gets close to the city wall, it can use the connected iron hooks to fasten the edge of the city wall.

The iron plates that fall down will become bridges between the wells and the city walls.

Once this point is reached, a steady stream of siege soldiers will be able to rush down from the vehicles.

Seeing the Jinglan vehicle getting closer and closer, Wildhammer, who had no time to continue firing the cannon, subconsciously clenched the hammer in his hand.

But before he was ready to launch an attack, several large barrels of fire oil had already flown out.

Whoa!

Click!

The fierce fire oil falling straight from above shattered after hitting the barrier.

The viscous liquid slowly enveloped and fell.

The slave warriors in the Jinglan car had a little curiosity and uneasiness in their eyes.

Whatever it was, it was certainly not meant to welcome them.

Whoosh!

The blazing flames spread along the fierce oil that fell on the Jinglan car.

Soon, the first two Jinglan cars turned into huge burning pillars of fire.

The slave warriors inside, who had nowhere to escape, were wailing and being swallowed up by the flames, with nowhere to escape.

The sudden scene immediately made the drow commanders nervous.

They immediately issued a series of orders, ordering everyone to save the last well carriage.

hum!
A huge mana shield was set up on the Jinglan Car with the combined efforts of the three beholder demons.

The fierce fire oil that flew over was also isolated, and it only fell around the ground of Jinglan Car, turning into a huge ring of fire.

Jifan looked at the slowly falling iron hook and shouted in a calm and confident tone:
"Mo Dao Camp, engage the enemy!"

The burly soldiers of Modao Camp came up from the rear in unison, semi-surrounding and blocking the Jinglan carriage.

The first batch of slave warriors to rush down were a large group of jackals.

They didn't even have time to launch a decent attack before they were chopped into two pieces by the Mo Dao coming towards them.

Occasionally, there would be a heavily armed ogre. With his brute strength and thick armor, he could hardly block the first slash.

Unable to block it, the soldiers of Mo Dao Camp were ready to strike with their second sword.

The well-mounted carriage that climbed up the city wall immediately gave the slave warriors who were crowded below and being beaten passively an opportunity to vent their anger.

They crowded onto the carriage, and then howled and fought their way up the city wall.

They don't want to be burned to ashes by the surrounding flames, that is definitely not a pleasant way to die!

Unfortunately, the drow underestimated their opponents.

Perhaps they didn't expect that the stubborn and very face-saving dwarf kingdom was actually willing to invite foreign aid and move reinforcements.

Moreover, it is the indestructible Mo Dao Camp that blocks the carriage.

The more the slave warriors charged, the faster they were hacked to death.

In less than three to four minutes, more than 4 slave warriors were killed.

The pile of corpses almost covered the carriage.

Ji Fan, who was relieved, stared at the three big eyes behind the Jinglan car and thought inexplicably:
"We have to find a way to kill them..."

　Today 8000
　　Ask for a monthly pass,
　　Rush!
