Arcane Lord

The pace of time moves forward little by little, neither speeding up deliberately for those who waste it, nor slowing down for those who cherish it.

Unknowingly, Shado spent the last day of the 837th year of Nese in Severton. If Luo Wei hadn't told him that the heavy snow that lasted for half a month finally stopped today, he probably wouldn't have noticed that the time had passed. The new year has quietly arrived.

The design plan of the independent arctic fire device has changed several times, but the practical device was still not completed in 837. However, now that the final plan has been determined, Chateau believes that it can be completed next year.

…

January 838, Naise calendar.

The Northland Alliance held closed consultations in Everesca for nearly a week to clarify the issue of dividing the territory of the Northland countries.

The division of the Nese territory has almost become the focus of discussions among representatives of various countries. The most critical issue is the difference between the declared scope and the actual control scope.

Netheril, Cormanthor, and Erlan, who were all interested, barely gave in, which made it seem that Akora and Evriska, who were also somewhat related, had completely become speechless supporting characters.

Naturally, a week of negotiations yielded no results. It was just that Yeerlan and Irfaran negotiated a preliminary demarcation plan. Whether it will work or not will depend on the next negotiation.

At the same time, within Netheril, the Great Expansion Movement has risen again. Unlike the previous ones, which were more about cooperating with the princess's ascension ceremony, this time it involves real territorial interests. Its enthusiasm may be called "the most intense in history." "!

The new god Shia Aidas, also known as Princess Shia, even issued an oracle, "People of Vanese, develop the right and protect the innocent."

Even ordinary people, as long as they think they can, can go to Severton to get a development document, head into unknown territories, and develop their own territory.

…

February.

The swarming pioneers successively established temporary strongholds in the middle of the eastern forest. During this period, the archmage summoned meteors and fire rain to quickly destroy the forest in the wind and snow.

Although this move caused strong dissatisfaction on the part of Comanso, with the support of the Sevington Parliament, no vicious conflict ultimately occurred.

As a result, across the river from the Conchi Plain, the new territory officially named "Colon Plain" was rapidly taking shape at an astonishing and shocking speed!

In the south of the Cologne Plain, a group of pioneers came near Lake Macht. However, the news that Shado had become a Grand Arcanist had just spread throughout Netheril. Most of the pioneers here cautiously used Lake Macht as their starting point. The boundary is only developed in the north and rarely sets foot in the south.

To this end, Niya sent a large number of adventurers to establish temporary strongholds in the forest south of Lake Macht. At the same time, she established a trading bazaar on the east bank of Lake Macht, which was a sensible response to the pioneers.

As for the island in the center of the lake, Misuo's final struggle was all here. If Xia Duo was not busy, he might come over to sort out and repair the magic network, but at this time he was busy with the independent arcane fire device and could not spare any time.

We can only ask Savile to operate secretly in private to avoid being caught first.

In the north of the Cologne Plains, the lords in the south of the core area of ​​Nese have also made great efforts to expand southwards, trying to border the Cologne Plains as quickly as possible. Among them, the most outstanding performance is the Green Tower Alliance.

The Grand Arcanist sits in charge and takes charge of the overall situation, and the efficiency of developing territory is far beyond that of ordinary territories.

The Rodney Territory, which was originally very eager for territory, under the leadership of the new and old generations of Lord Rodney, its development efficiency can be ranked among the top among the pioneers.

As for further south, south of the southern border.

Savile personally took action and set up a large number of semi-permanent monitoring points starting from the Wolf God Mountain and going south to the southernmost tip of the Army Mountain Range.

It can also be regarded as a response to the Sewington Council and the princess's call to open up, and to fix the southeastern border of Netheril.

…

In March, the ice and snow have not disappeared.

The negotiations and entanglements among the surface countries regarding the division of territory are still continuing, but the underground war has reached a major turning point.

In the second battlefield of Amarinda, the high mages of Erlan and Cormanthor and the holy hammer warriors of Danzo annihilated the twelve high mages of the drow, and severely damaged the incarnation of the drow god of vengeance.

Of course, achieving such results came at a high cost. In addition to the loss of personnel of the main combatants, Amarinda's territorial space in the Underdark Region was completely destroyed. If they did not go to the surface, it can be said that they have lost touch with Danzo. Connected.

Of course, for Amarinda, just the destruction of the territorial space is a very small price, which means that they can leave the battlefield from now on.

On the other side, the demon army on the battlefield of Danzo began to lose control after the defeat of the drow on the battlefield of Amarinda. This was a sign of the drow's retreat.

After all, demons can be recruited at any time, and drow priests and drow mages who know how to summon and control demons have real war potential.

But since it was a joint operation, Danzo would not easily let the drow's true war potential leave. Danzo's King Pasteur attacked decisively, holding back the retreating drow, and the high-ranking drow who had returned from the battlefield with Amarinda. The mages and Holy Hammer warriors together caused a lot of damage to the drow.

It's just that they failed to annihilate the drow's high mages like they did in the second battlefield. After all, Danzo was not Amarinda, so it was impossible for him to agree to the destruction of the territorial space at the cost.

What's more, Zall who suffered a loss may not fall twice in the same place.

But as long as the drow are driven away, the underground war can come to an end for the time being. However, the support of the elves is more concentrated on high-end power. When the drow were defeated, the elven mages dispersed almost without even looking. The demon army returned to its station, and only waited to confirm the situation of the drow before returning to the surface.

Demons controlled by drow will naturally rush into battle "fearlessly" to die, but without drow control, it is conceivable that the subsequent eradication will probably be a headache for Danzo!

…

In April, winter is still there.

At this time in previous years, the temperature has begun to warm up, and the ice and snow have begun to become fragile. By about mid-April, all the ice and snow have almost completely melted.

But this year, I’m afraid the snow will not start to melt until May, the real “snow melting month”!

In early April, the drow had escaped deeper into the Dark Territory, and the underground war station came to an end. By mid-April, the aftermath of the war finally affected the surface.

The most intuitive thing is that war-related materials have begun to generally drop in price, and the order for the Tower of Time's cash cow, Lord Harlan's demon-slaying amulet, has officially come to an end.

At the same time, the countries on the surface finally returned their main energy to the surface, and negotiations on the division of territorial boundaries were once again put on the agenda.

Of course, Xia Duo's independent arcane fire device project has also come to an end, and the official version of the independent arcane fire device 1.0 is about to be released.
