Chapter 689 Objective: Defeat the enemy (8000)

Plague beasts are the most common and troublesome monsters in future plague disasters.

They can be monsters that use various methods to spread plague.

At the same time, they can also control monsters contaminated by the plague and coerce them to form a plague army.

The existence of this thing is more troublesome than the deformed monster.

As long as they are willing, they can have a long enough incubation period, ranging from more than ten days to several months.

Only when a sufficient number of people are infected will they be launched into action.

Thinking of this, Matthew hesitated and clicked his mouth.

If it were before, in order to gain more power of destiny.

He would most likely arrange for the press to predict various upcoming catastrophic events.

Even if only a small number of people would believe that they could survive successfully under his influence.

The sheer size of the human population in the northern continent is enough to give him an astonishing power of destiny.

However, such a high-profile and crazy act will inevitably attract enemies from all walks of life.

Cultists of all kinds.

The evil spirit that broke through the seal.

Demons and demons who pretend to be intelligent creatures and want to cause trouble.

Even the evil god has returned and is gathering strength.

Everyone will keep an eye on Matthew and the Bay Territory.

There is also the Cole Elf Kingdom watching eagerly.

Matthew gave up this idea and decided to use a more covert method to help solve this problem.

For example, restart Iris and rebuild the hero team!

In Matthew's view, the hero team is a very good crisis resolution mechanism.

However, this mechanism is very crude and does not fulfill its potential at all.

Thinking of this, Matthew signed most of the transaction applications and let Butler Ralph process them.

He only took out the deal that appeared to represent the Netheril Empire, but actually belonged to the Black Tower Organization of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

They want the most things, including but not limited to the manufacturing technology of weapons and equipment such as automatic crossbow turrets, flamethrowers, long-range magic artillery, dwarf artillery, light and heavy combat armor, thunder magic armor, etc.

Matthew couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to himself:

"I have to say, their appetites are really big!"

The Elf Kingdom of Cole is still as greedy and arrogant as ever.

However, Matthew was quite satisfied with the price they offered.

10 seventh-level spells and 5 eighth-level spells.

And it is an advanced version after many modifications, which is equivalent to the same type of spell effect at level 3.

The value of these quasi-legendary spells is quite high and can add a rich spell reserve to the Gulf Territory.

Almost no one would sell this thing, and it was mostly used in exchange for spells with the same effect.

If Matthew is willing, he can even spend tens of millions of destiny power to select some of the outstanding spells and advance the research into legendary-level spells.

However, the power of destiny is not rich now, and Matthew's ideas are relatively simple.

Use these powerful elven spells in exchange.

A larger number of seventh- and eighth-level spells can be exchanged from the hands of several spellcasting organizations.

Matthew didn't have much psychological burden on this. He just wanted to reserve more spells for the spellcasters in the Gulf Territory.

Whether Elf Cole would be angry because of this was not within Matthew's consideration.

What's more, another trading item given by Cole Elf made Matthew sigh in surprise:

"It's true that I'm really a bastard. Doesn't my heart hurt?"

What the Cole elf exchanged was the "Mystery Lock Manufacturing Advanced" that Matthew requested.

Information on these technologies is patchy.

There are also some dangerous traps hidden, which will inevitably seriously slow down the research.

Matthew didn't care.

When you have the power of time and destiny at your disposal, you can easily find the hidden errors as long as you do more testing and research.

Of course, these are only a small part of the transaction at the moment, and more have not been delivered yet.

After confirming the authenticity of these information, Matthew made another mental note to Cole Elf. Looking at these magic weapons and equipment, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly:

"Take it back and study it carefully to see how long it will take you to produce it."

"Technology is just the beginning."

After sending a message to notify the Black Tower messenger Lola, Matthew directly gave Angela an order at the same time:

"Inform the second prince of the gray dwarves, Kreize, to the underground cities in the Canterlot Mountains and the underground world of Thera."

"Sell these weapons and equipment in advance."

After receiving the news, Angela's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

Selling weapons to two warring enemies at the same time is very consistent with the style of the Gulf Territory.

However, Angela could clearly feel that the Lord's sale of weapons to these three parties should be related to the previous miracles.

Time is running out!

Angela quickly started setting up and making connections.

Trading these weapons and equipment is no small matter.

It is necessary to dispatch not only smart and capable staff, but also excellent combat troops.

And the speed must be fast, before the Cole Elf can react.

Taking advantage of the situation can also teach them a harsh lesson and interrupt their possible future plans and momentum.

Matthew looked through the various technologies that Butler Ralph had sent over after completing the transaction, and focused on arranging the advance construction of the elemental puppet factory.

Its technical difficulty is not high, but it is more of a clever and wonderful structural design.

While Matthew was studying, he was thinking about how to strengthen it.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

A somewhat nervous Laura walked in and noticed the information Matthew was looking through.

She vaguely felt a huge pressure, which fell on herself inadvertently.

Laura could conclude that if she had any intention of attacking, she would definitely be killed as soon as possible.

The only thing that made Laura feel strange was that there were far fewer guards outside the lord's office than she had imagined.

Of course, Laura was very aware of the tall, burly Lord Matthew in front of him, wearing bright silver thunder combat armor.

Possessing the ability to easily defeat her and kill her.

The pressure Matthew brought to Laura was more terrifying than some legendary professionals.

"Others can be traded, including light and heavy mechanical armor."

"But the price offered by the Black Tower is not enough. The advanced version of the secret lock manufacturing technology is included."

"Also add the arcane crystal manufacturing technology used for the manufacturing of Mystery Nodes."

"In addition, if you want the manufacturing technology of Thunder Combat Armor, you must provide a demigod-level soul crystal."

Arcane crystal manufacturing technology?

If the Gulf Territory can really successfully produce arcane crystals, it will have a wealth mine comparable to mithril mines.

Even the wealthy Cole Elf Kingdom is only controlled by the top families and forces.

Demigod-level soul crystal?

Laura heard clearly that it was not the soul crystal of a high-level legend, but a demigod level!

A demigod-level creature!

The division of strength is not the same as that of high-level legends.

However, the vast majority of demigod creatures possess greater strength than high-level legends.

They inherently have a long lifespan and strong strength.

They usually have their own power and territory.

They usually die very hard.

The probability of leaving a soul crystal after death is only about half.

The likelihood of living outside the home is even lower.

Even for a kingdom.

There may only be a few treasures of this level.

And Matthew said it so clearly, without any intention of hiding his thoughts.

This shows what?

The lord in front of me is preparing to create a demigod-level tower spirit!

It was obviously prepared for the construction of the mage tower!

An ordinary mage tower and a super-level tower spirit are enough.

Even if there are some mage spells from legendary casters, there are few legendary level tower spirits.

And this Lord Matthew obviously has the ambition to become a great arcanist!

The demigod tower spirit is naturally prepared for the floating city!

Looking at Matthew's extremely young face, Laura felt bursts of disbelief in her heart.

Is this the lord of the Gulf Territory?

A true "genius" who is absolutely confident of becoming a Grand Arcanist!

To be precise, genius is no longer enough to describe Matthew's current strength and identity.

His current strength and power.

Lola, one of the captains of the Phoenix Guard who had always been proud and arrogant, felt the insurmountable gap.

Complex thoughts intertwined in her mind, Laura did not hesitate, shook her head slightly and said:

"Both of these conditions are beyond my scope of authority and I have to apply again."

Matthew seemed to have expected it, and did not show any expression on his face. He just made a gesture to let him leave.

"Then please ask Miss Laura to ask for your instructions first!"

Not daring to look into Matthew's plain but profound eyes, Laura left the Lord's Mansion with a lot of thoughts.

Matthew doesn't think of himself as a lion.

Dealing with landowners and wealthy people like the Cole Elf Kingdom cannot give them the slightest bit of happiness.

No matter what kind of transaction you are doing, it is right to ask for a high price first.

What's more, Matthew is not prepared to "discount" at all this time.

There are of course many limitations to the use of Thunder Magic Armor.

The cost is also extremely high.

The manufacturing difficulty is comparable to that of legendary level equipment.

But its powerful combat power bonus can at least increase the combat power of professionals at the highest level by more than 50%.

With such a huge improvement in strength span, it is not as simple as 1+1=2.

A super-level professional wearing thunder combat armor can fight against three enemies of equal strength.

Moreover, he can rely on his strong defense capabilities and continuous combat capabilities to achieve the final victory in the battle.

Such a powerful magic item can completely form a powerful super army and become one of the trump cards of a power and kingdom.

The Cole Elf Kingdom only wants to give some supplies and some spells that Matthew can obtain through other channels. How can such a good thing be done?

If they are not satisfied!

It’s absolutely okay to disagree with the deal!

Moreover, this is also a temptation for Matthew.

I want to see the attitude of the Cole Elf Kingdom towards itself and the Gulf Territory.

No matter what the other party's reaction is, it can provide Matthew with a lot of information.

Matthew hopes even more that the Cole Elf can continue to focus its main energy on himself and the Gulf Territory.

"The fatal danger of fate can be subdivided into more events that are threatening but not fatal..."

Just as Matthew was thinking carefully.

"Ah! Onyxia has finally finished her studies, and my mission is finally completed!"

Yaya jumped out happily and stared at Matthew with wide eyes, "Praise me now" written on his face.

Behind her, there was a little girl wearing a black skirt.

She has a fair face, big dark eyes, two pigtails, and a slightly pouted mouth, looking very unconvinced.

She is Onyxia!

Matthew saw her arcanist level 1 attribute panel at a glance, and said to Yaya with a smile:

"Studying is certainly important, but you still have to pay attention to relaxing."

"The Arcanist profession is different from other professions. The more you learn and the more knowledge you master, the stronger you can become."

Onyxia looked at Matthew who turned around, her mind went blank, but her body nodded unconsciously.

The little True Dragon, who was just born, was vaguely aware of the pale golden light radiating from his body.

The fear and fear from the heart became more and more intense.

Matthew noticed Onyxia's "fear" and looked at her attribute panel in surprise.

Evaluation: The fire dragon that breaks through the shackles of blood!

His good talent allowed Matthew to see the curve of growth that an ordinary true dragon can achieve when it has not undergone perfect evolution.

Onyxia's particularly sharp performance shows that there is special potential deep within her bloodline that can be explored.

If her talent is not enough, she will not absorb enough nutrients.

The special talent of greed will take away the growth limit of most other body parts.

This allows Onyxia's body to support relatively powerful special talents, but other parts of her body will become extremely mediocre.

In the future, Onyxia will have to spend more time and money to train this part of her body that is lacking in growth.

If you want to supplement this part of talent in your bloodline and pass it on better, the price will be even higher.

However, after Matthew noticed that there was no bad tendency in Onyxia's character, he patted her head gently and said in her stunned eyes:

"Well done. Don't worry about the Gulf Council being unfavorable to you. You should have already thought it through."

"Welcome to the Bay Territory, Yaya has prepared a nest for you, and there are also nutritious meals prepared for you."

"You can have a good meal before dormant growth."

"When you wake up, you can activate more blood power."

Naturally, Matthew would not play riddles with Onyxia, but would take the initiative to communicate with her.

After hearing this, Onyxia stared blankly at Matthew with a gentle smile. She could clearly feel Matthew's sincerity in saying this.

The pressure that had been weighing on her heart slowly disappeared, and she said with some incredible excitement:

"Thank you Lord Lord, thank you Lord Yaya!"

Ya Ya turned around with a smile, suddenly remembered something, coughed with a straight face and said:

"Don't call me sir, call me sister!"

Subconsciously shrinking her head, Onyxia seemed a little dazed, but she still nodded quickly.

The door on the wall slowly opened, and under Onyxia's stunned gaze, Matthew walked out with a smile on his face.

Matthew waved to Onyxia and led her, who was in a daze, into the secret passage.

Looking at the mechanical structures and complex magic circles passing by outside the passage, Onyxia recalled the Gulf Territory teaching course she had just learned recently. She suppressed her fear of Matthew and couldn't help but ask:

"Did you use the clone spell? I can't tell the difference at all."

Matthew was quite satisfied with Onyxia's curiosity and courage. He nodded and said:

"This is my improved clone technique. You can start learning it after you become an intermediate arcanist."

"Don't be affected by the memory in your bloodline. You are an independent, thinking individual. You must use reason and clear thinking to judge right from wrong."

Feeling Matthew's gentle attitude, Onyxia gradually let go of her worries.

She noticed the slowly approaching nest in the distance, gradually felt the warm and comfortable atmosphere, and couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

What will the nest prepared for her by the Gulf Territory look like?

A large semi-magma bathhouse!

On one side is red, hot and bubbling magma.

On the other side is a hill filled with rubies, fire element crystals, fine gold, magic iron, and gold.

The instinct originating from the blood and soul made Onyxia immediately widen her eyes.

Her body unconsciously changed back to its original state, and she rushed over happily, lying on the small golden mountain that belonged to her, and shouted excitedly:

"Is this really mine?"

Matthew smiled and nodded, and said in a calm and confident tone:

"Yes, this is your reward for joining the Gulf Territory."

“We at Bay Community build comfortable homes and provide resources for all our members to thrive.”

These are things Onyxia has learned.

But she never imagined that the standards given by the Gulf Territory were completely different from what she thought!

Onyxia was excited for a while, then she stopped holding a large piece of ruby ​​and said firmly to Matthew:

"As long as the Gulf Nation remains unchanged, I will always be a member of the Gulf Nation."

Matthew didn't care too much about Onyxia's cleverness. Seeing the sleepiness in her eyes, he reached out and cast a sleeping spell on her.

Onyxia, who was unaware of the malice, could no longer hold back the spreading sleepiness. She curled up with contentment and fell asleep on her little golden mountain.

Matthew stood quietly, looking at the slight red light on Onyxia's body.

She is absorbing the fire elements and energy around her, preparing for her first evolution.

During this process, the information that Matthew had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared in front of him.

"Fire Dragon, Onyxia, infancy, sleeping..."

"Do you want to spend 1 points of destiny power to evolve it perfectly?"

Sure enough, after joining the Gulf Territory, you can unleash the power of destiny on it.

Even a real dragon is no exception!

Matthew had a bright smile on his face, and the whelps of the wurms were blessed.

"Perhaps, the young dragons who have received perfect evolution since childhood will be able to complete their transformation faster than them..."

There is no way, the lower the strength, the less power of destiny is consumed.

The blue power of destiny slowly poured into Onyxia's body.

The red light on her body became more dazzling, and the magma not far away was attracted by her and slowly flowed towards her.

Matthew snapped his fingers, and two dark red Dragoon No. 1 Golems walked over with light steps.

In their hands, they held fragrant magical food.

They handed these magical monsters to Onyxia's mouth.

The fire dragon smelled the aroma of food and energy, and opened its mouth to swallow beautifully.

Matthew checked the "automatic feeding" program, confirmed that the supplies and food were sufficient, and then started walking towards the locations of other nests.

Hundreds of various nests are scattered throughout this deep underground.

8 month 12 day.

Dark forest.

Light rain.

Misty raindrops were blown by the wind.

The sound of "ticking" echoed in the forest.

Alice looked at the map and quickly modified it based on the information reported by the scouts.

Chris next to him looked at the order sent and said with some surprise:

"Are you ready for us to attack again? It looks like the Gulf Territory is going to make a big move next."

Laura, who had just arrived here, looked at the battle scenes with great interest, and whispered with some emotion:

"The orcs and trolls are getting smarter and smarter, and they also know how to spread out and advance."

"Unfortunately, their overall strength is too weak and they cannot pose much of a threat."

When saying this, Laura did not forget to debug her Thunder Magic Armor to better deal with the attacks and threats of orcs and trolls.

Looking at Laura's movements, Ashes on the other side blinked blankly and turned to look at the busy staff.

I wanted to intervene, but I didn't have the right idea.

The staff noticed his situation and expressed to him with a smile:

"Don't worry, I have integrated the data from the combat auxiliary helmet so that I can provide more accurate prompts on combat progress in the future."

"Next time you return to the Gulf Territory, you can make subtle adjustments to the Thunder Magic Armor based on your best fighting habits and skills."

Hearing these words, Hui Jin immediately showed a smile on his face, hurriedly patted his chest and praised:

"Thank you very much this time. I will definitely collect and organize the data next time."

"Data is only one aspect. More importantly, we need to carry out daily maintenance and carry out more self-examination and improvement of procedures."

"Oh...I understand, let me write it down first."

"What's the use of writing it down in a notebook? You want it to be engraved on your wine flask."

"Every time you drink, think about whether you have finished these things..."

"Hiccup~~Good idea."

"..."

Morak, who was looking forward to it, looked at the ghost talisman in his hand.

He hesitated for a while before he realized what he had written down before.

Batum next door was wiping his weapon and silently calculating the achievements and rewards he had received.

After finishing the map, Alice looked at the spreading red light spots, pointed to the middle position and said:

"That's where we're going to attack next."

"There will be 4000 orcs here. When they are bombarded, they will charge forward immediately."

"Laura, lead a team to stop them, keep a distance, and be able to retreat at any time."

"There is a 2-strong troll scout team 500 kilometers to the right."

"Chris leads the team. If you can catch them, kill them. If you can't catch them, kill them. It's all up to you to get back the money."

"There are 1500 orc wolf cavalry 800 meters to the left."

"Lead the team to deal with the ashes. Clean them up as much as possible. Don't put too much in."

"There are 3 elite orcs 6000 kilometers behind."

"Morak followed the home team on defense. Once the opponent broke through Laura's defense, he took the initiative to respond and rearrange the defense."

"..."

Alice laid out the combat mission, and everyone listened with rapt attention.

As the most watched adventure team in the Gulf Territory, Alice Adventure Group has undertaken the most dangerous and arduous combat missions.

Although the risks are high and the risk factor is high, the rewards are also extremely generous.

Moreover, the Alice Adventure Group is also confident that it will once again show its strength to other adventure groups.

"We are simply better than other adventure groups!"

The loud slogans echoed in the ears of the members of Alice's Adventure Group.

They all showed a faint smile, with a confident light in their eyes, and conducted a final inspection of weapons and equipment.

Loud horn sound.

The command voice of the magic watch.

Very eye-catching red flare.

At the same time, the order to attack was issued.

The adventurers who had been waiting for a long time raised their new weapons that they had become proficient in, and quickly attacked the enemy.

The roaring sound of gunfire immediately broke the silence of the dark forest.

Groups of fierce firelight illuminated the darkness under the shade of the trees.

The scouts and the enemy team rushed towards the predetermined position.

The roaring artillery team quickly carried out coverage bombing according to the shooting coordinates that had been planned long ago.

Laura looked at the firelight flashing across the sky, with a trace of emotion flashing in her eyes.

Unconsciously, the course of the war has changed extremely quickly.

What kind of weapons will appear on the battlefield in the future?

Rumble!

The sound of fierce artillery fire came over.

Laura quietly waited for the enemy to arrive.

One minute passed, two minutes, three minutes.

The swaying figures disturbed the dense bushes.

Laura, who finally waited for the enemy, issued a shooting order through the team communicator.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Amidst the continuous sound of breaking through the air, black shadows continued to fly away.

Laura saw the movement of a large number of enemies falling, and also heard the screams and roars of struggle.

She carefully selected her target and saw a bush that was moving very fast.

Draw the bow!

射！

The spinning arrows flew away.

In an instant, he disappeared into the bushes in the distance.

boom!

The violent explosion caused a surging shock wave.

A large bush was wiped out by the force of the explosion.

An orc warrior with only half of his body left appeared in everyone's sight.

The adventurers with excellent shooting skills all applauded.

However, they did not look at Laura, but stared at the area they were aiming at and continued shooting.

Scattered orc soldiers fell one after another.

No matter how fast their impact speed is, it can't be faster than the speed of sharp arrows.

Adventurers with extremely rich combat experience know that these fierce orcs are just appetizers.

What will really cause them trouble is the continuous large army of orcs that will follow.

Those elite orcs wearing heavy armor and holding thick shields were able to carry forward with bows and crossbows.

Cooperating with the surrounding scouts, it will often cause fatal damage to adventurers who are greedy and fail to retreat in time.

But this time, they were on the offensive side and didn't have to worry about the dangers on either side.

Laura counted the time silently.

Wait until a large number of orc warriors appeared three to four hundred meters ahead.

He sent out the "shooting coordinates" message without hesitation.

"300 meters in front of the front line, fire with coverage!"

Then, the roaring artillery fire, with the sound of roaring through the air, flew over the heads of the adventurers.

They smashed viciously into the orc army in the distance.

The violent flame explosion cleared a large area of ​​orc warriors.

No matter how strong the orcs are, they cannot resist the deadly lethality of the magic artillery.

What made the adventurers even more emotional was that the flames of the explosion flashed three times on the spot and then covered them backwards.

Large tracts of trees and bushes were destroyed, along with the orc warriors.

The deafening explosions and concussions made every adventurer's hair stand on end.

Even if these artillery fires are from the side supporting them, they still cannot get used to such violent power, so nakedly displayed in front of everyone.

Before the adventurers could sigh, the "Free Fire" attack order reminded them of their current mission and situation.

The adventurers who reacted quickly shot at the remaining orc warriors.

The completely defenseless orc warriors screamed and fell down one after another.

It takes about three minutes.

When the roaring artillery fire finally stopped.

In front of Laura's team, there are no orc warriors who dare to rush out.

She confirmed that the defense lines on both sides were very solid, and the surrounding enemies were dealt a devastating blow by her companions.

Laura directed the adventurers to move forward slowly, clearing away the hiding orc warriors bit by bit.

The orcs who died tragically around them not only did not receive sympathy from the adventurers, but instead made them feel quite happy.

Orc invasions of the Netherese Empire have a long history.

Most adventurers have had the experience of having relatives or partners killed or injured at the hands of these orcs.

That's why they choose such a dangerous combat mission.

For them, following the Gulf Territory to kill these beast-like monsters is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Lara, who advanced the fastest, confirmed the safety of the area and sent a "allowed to advance" message to the surrounding friendly forces.

The adventurers who had cleared their respective opponents quickly checked their weapons and equipment, and then continued to move forward under the commander's orders.

Alice looked at the advancing artillery and focused most of her attention on the battle line map that was updated in real time.

She saw every combat area handled by other adventurer teams, all moving forward resolutely.

Unspeakable excitement emerged in her mind. The expression on her face did not change, but she kept shouting in her heart:

"Destroy the enemy army and destroy the enemy!"

The adventurers of the Gulf Territory also have no rivals!
