Emperor of Arcane

"As long as there are sufficient materials, the joint factory can produce more than 100 pieces of high-end magic equipment and props every day."

Aini gently stroked a soft turquoise cloak, feeling the hidden and accumulated magic power fluctuations on it, and continued to speak expectantly:

"To make everyone familiar with the various steps."

"Like other factories in the territory, they will be arranged to rotate in various processes for half a month to a month."

“Until they have complete mastery, they are scheduled for discussions and studies on improvements.”

Ani knows very well what Matthew expects from the joint factory.

This is not just a factory that produces advanced weapons and equipment.

It is also a joint research institute for future research on better magic weapons and equipment.

"Well done, feel free to take care of it. If you need anything, just tell Butler Ralph and he will give you the greatest support."

Matthew smiled and nodded. He was indeed right in appointing Ani to take charge of the joint factory.

With her temperament, she would not treat the master craftsmen of the Gulf Territory and the dwarves differently.

He is also a master craftsman who can hold his own against the elves in terms of status.

Disputes and frictions are bound to arise in the joint production of the three parties. How to properly handle these situations is also a test and temper for Aini.

In the future, Matthew has higher expectations for her.

Matthew looked through the various materials needed for factory production and discovered a very interesting feature.

Dragon blood creatures account for a high proportion of materials.

This is to digest the materials of the dragon-blooded creatures that the Gulf Territory spent a lot of money to acquire and recover the funds as quickly as possible.

While returning the money, it can further stimulate the enthusiasm of adventurers and promote the territory to "absorb" the nutrients of the Dragon Madness Disaster.

The more adventurers and soldiers kill.

The more you earn in the Bay Area.

The faster their strength improves.

You can kill more!

Such a good cycle can quickly improve the overall strength of the Gulf Territory adventurers and soldiers.

Most of the other materials come from the dwarf kingdom, and only a very small part comes from the El elves.

Sure enough, although the dwarf is in a relatively bad situation, he never tries to be picky about things and conducts himself. He will choose to trust his friends when he identifies them.

Although the El elves are a little different from other elves, most of them just want to obtain more supplies.

The El Elves acquired 55% of the weapons and equipment produced by the United Factory and spent a large amount of gold coins for this purpose.

Matthew doesn't care too much about this. As time goes by, the El Elves' situation will become more and more difficult, and their dependence on the Gulf Territory will become greater.

When the time comes, Matthew hopes that their family fortune accumulated over thousands or even tens of thousands of years will be even richer.

Just as Matthew was touring the joint factory.

In the central square of Bay City, more than 10 people are receiving the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

They lowered their heads in shame and repented for their corruption at work.

After each of them explained their thoughts and reasons at the time, the personnel of the trial department read out their punishment conditions:

"They will be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison and above."

"At the same time, while they are under supervision, work must continue to repay them for the damage they have caused."

"After they have served their well-deserved imprisonment, they will be able to regain their freedom if their work has produced 10 times the damage they caused."

"Otherwise, they will continue to work under supervision."

“I hope everyone will take this as a warning and don’t reach out, otherwise you will be caught!”

Everyone saw clearly, and compared the crimes and punishments of each corrupt person, no one was an exception, and everything was basically handled in accordance with the law, which gave everyone a very comfortable feeling.

Many people laughed at them, and many more took it as a warning.

There is also some shame that they did not discover the other party's corruption in time.

As a result, the other party caused greater damage and caused greater losses to the territory and everyone's interests.

"Hey, what are these guys thinking? How dare they lie under the eyes of the monitoring golem."

"Haha, if you ask them to be vague, it's obvious that something is wrong."

"The longest one lasted this time was two weeks. The monitoring golem needs to be improved!"

"If the daily outgoing monitoring and inquiry can be strictly implemented, we should be able to better prevent this phenomenon, or at least catch them faster."

"It makes sense. Go ahead and give your opinion. It should be revised soon."

"That's right, let's go!"

"..."

When I first arrived in the Gulf Territory, I happened to see this unprecedented public trial.

Several young people from the Seer family showed a little surprise and shock on their faces.

"Is this a way to prevent corruption? How much monitoring magic does this require?"

"I heard that they are constantly released by monitoring golems, just like the two we encountered when we entered the city gate."

"Hey, is this Cousin Matthew's idea of ​​an arcanist? It's really interesting."

"There are so many golems in the city, they are even more interesting than Wenton!"

"Bay City is much cleaner than Sewenton. The roads are wide and the environment is clean. Everyone is busy. I didn't even see any beggars..."

"It's really interesting. When I first heard about it, I thought it was those guys talking about it, but I didn't expect that the Gulf Territory would develop so well."

"That's right, although Bay City is not as spacious as Sewenden and has so many magical creations and mage towers, it reveals a different kind of vitality and vitality..."

"Look at that food court..."

"Isn't the Adventurer's Hall too big?"

"Can everyone buy magic weapons and potions?"

"..."

They couldn't help but be very curious about everything in the Gulf Territory, and they were also quite surprised.

At the reminder of passers-by, they curiously asked the question-and-answer golem at the intersection.

At the beginning, they wanted to ask about the work situation in the Gulf Territory.

This is what they have heard the most since they entered the city.

Then, they became interested in the trivia golem and asked all kinds of interesting questions.

But soon, because the number of questions and answers reached the upper limit, they could only watch helplessly.

Elio, who was not far away, looked at the emblem of the Seer family on them and said to Feili on the side:

"Don't make contact rashly. Inform the housekeeper of the situation first and see how he wants to handle it."

Feili, who was still a little nervous at first, heard that Elio didn't mean to blame her. She nodded quickly and sent an emergency communication to Butler Ralph. She didn't forget to ask:

"How is the situation in the demiplane of Catachan? Can kobolds and gnolls still adapt? What about those wurms?"

Alio did not feel impatient with Feili's curiosity. Instead, he introduced her to her with a smile:

"Even underground, the carpets and plants outside Catachan will slowly penetrate."

"Thanks to the addition of the kobolds, they can clean and dig at any time, and they can also help them solve the food problem. The two go well together."

Kobolds and creep?

Thinking of that scene, Feili couldn't help but smile slightly and put on a "keep on talking" look.

"Two dragons are already dead. They were very unlucky to run into the Catachan Demon."

"However, most of them have settled down and are fighting against the surrounding creatures."

“They are very adaptable and can transform their surroundings, which will be great for antibacterial blankets and green tides.”

"Dragons are really interesting. Even these sub-dragons, they grow very fast. Not only have they adapted to cooperating with us, they are also adapting to the environment as quickly as possible."

"Moreover, because they sensed the pressure of survival, they began to reproduce at a faster rate..."

Feili listened to Alio telling a lot of interesting things about the demiplane of Catachan, with a little bit of expectation and yearning on her face.

Reaching out and patting her shoulder, Alio smiled and warned her:

"As the territory has always promoted, all work is necessary and important, and so is your work."

"Ensuring the safety of our citizens is the purpose of our struggle. Our home is here..."

Slightly shrinking her neck, Feili rolled her eyes, suddenly raised her wrist, and said very excitedly:

"Huh? Butler Ralph decided to meet them!"

Feili made a gesture to her to go and come back quickly, and Feili said with a smile:

"Remember to go home for lunch at noon. The old lady is still waiting for you to come back."

Sticking out her tongue slightly, Feili walked towards several young people from the Seer family. Looking at her back, Elio couldn't help but think slightly:

"Did something happen? Yaoyue family?"

Hearing that Feili wanted to take them to the Lord's Mansion, several young people from the Seer family agreed.

Along the way, a few of them asked many questions, discussed the surprises of the Gulf Territory, and pointed out the contrast between this place and the Seer family.

They are full of energy and youth, giving Feili a feeling of seeing herself a year ago.

Butler Ralph welcomed their arrival, enthusiastically accepted the gifts from them, and then also gave them some surprises.

"Wow, is this an advanced enchanted weapon?"

"Yes, this is absolutely true, my father's ones are not that good!"

"This is given to us by the lord? This is great!"

"Hey, now we can stay with peace of mind..."

"That's not what you said before coming here!"

After hearing their words, Butler Ralph laughed out loud and asked with a gentle smile:

"If you really want to stay, then tell us about the jobs you want to do!"

Several young people looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Before coming, they wanted to become the nobles of the Gulf Territory and assist Matthew in managing the Gulf Territory.

This is the practice of many families. They have received professional training and training, which can bring loyalty to Matthew and a certain degree of influence from the family.

However, after arriving in the Gulf Territory, their ideas changed dramatically.

They found that the managers of the Gulf Territory were just a job. The division of power and responsibilities was very clear, and they were not as powerful as they imagined.

In this case, they were attracted by their own interests and prepared to try various jobs in the Gulf Territory.

After all, they are also eager to take further steps in personal strength, knowledge and technology.

Butler Ralph did not have any opinions on the ideas of these little guys, but instead provided them with some practical opinions.

In this case, they were very happy and started various vocational training.

After learning the news, Matthew thought for a few minutes and arranged to write a letter to be sent to the Seer family.

To Matthew's surprise, the Seer family responded quickly.

"They said that Seventon is ready to take action?"

Butler Ralph nodded solemnly, read the reply carefully, and said thoughtfully:

"The Council is preparing to dispatch two legions to clean up the dragon-blooded creatures around Sewendon, but I guess it has no intention of expanding..."

Matthew agreed with this and asked if there was any other information in the letter.

Butler Ralph shook his head, with a little confusion in his eyes. After hesitating for a while, he comforted Matthew and said:

"Perhaps, Lord Earl is busy."

Matthew didn’t care too much about this and continued very simply:

"Under this situation, there will be more and more refugees around Sewendon, but I estimate that they will not be able to take care of them, and there is a high probability that they will send them to us..."

"Inform the newspaper editor and tell him that we in the Gulf Territory need more refugees."

After hearing this, Butler Ralph already understood Matthew's plan and was immediately ready to make arrangements for it.

301 years.

January 8th.

The Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion of the Netheril Empire began to eliminate the dragon-blooded creatures around Seventon.

Under the leadership of Floating City No. 6, they showed very terrifying maneuverability.

Through the legion teleportation spell studied by the Grand Arcanist of Iolum, you can easily reach any location within a range of 300 kilometers and complete the deployment within an hour.

The dragon-blooded creatures without any cooperation were no match for them and were cleared away by them at an extremely fast speed.

What's even more frightening is that all extraordinary dragon-blooded creatures are easily wiped out by the floating city's destructive cannon.

In fact, it only took them 10 minutes to kill a legendary flying dragon.

The other party didn't even have time to escape!

In just 5 days, millions of dragon-blooded creatures were eliminated.

With an unrivaled attitude, he isolated the influence of the Dragon Madness Disaster from the area of ​​​​Seventon.

The Netheril Empire once again proved that as long as it has the floating city, the empire is invincible.

However, the imperial army that defeated the invasion of dragon-blooded creatures did not send support to the surrounding areas.

It seems that they just want to take good care of the area around Sewenden.

Many lords asked Sewendon for support, but did not receive an effective reply. They were just told to continue to persevere and fight hard.

But the dragon blood creatures are getting stronger and stronger.

But it brought considerable trouble to the surrounding territories and provinces.

Even if it is the territory of a marquis or even a duke.

Its villages and countryside did not have much defense.

They were all invaded by dragon-blooded creatures and suffered heavy losses.

The great lords with relatively strong military power are also sending troops to clean up the dragon-blooded creatures.

More other lords who lacked weapons, equipment and supplies began to purchase many combat supplies on the market.

Then, they soon discovered that the Gulf Territory was the only territory that was still selling large quantities of combat supplies.

What makes them even more excited is that although the prices of these supplies from the Gulf Territory have increased.

But it was more of a surcharge for the difficulty of transporting supplies, and it did not rise several times like other caravans.

Such a conscientious act shocked most of the territory.

"Did the Gulf Territory really do this?"

"Yes, and the Gulf Territory has issued a statement that the price will not change much. Lords who are short of supplies are welcome to purchase and consult."

"Even if I have never been to the Bay Territory or met Lord Matthew, I have to praise him. He is really a good lord."

"That's right. He transported refugees, supported other lords, and now supports other territories. He is really a role model for us."

"I can't do it anyway, it's just too awesome."

"I really want to go to the Bay Territory to see..."

"It seems that more and more refugees are coming recently. Why is this?"

"Isn't that simple? Only Sewenden is safe, they have to run here for refuge..."

"I saw that many refugees were organized to enter the teleportation array together. Where will they be sent?"

"Where else could it be? It must be the Gulf Territory. They are the only ones who continue to accept refugees. The other territories..."

"Hey...Seventon really can do it!"

"Who told the Gulf Territory to still recruit people? It's still being published in the news..."

"..."

Just as Matthew had guessed, the increasingly turbulent Dragon Madness disaster had a huge impact on the entire Netheril Empire.

Even if most towns and cities are safe, the villages that have been greatly affected have still led to a huge flow of refugees.

A large number of refugees were sent to the Gulf Territory by Sewendon.

The lords shed their burdens.

The Assembly of Seventon avoided the gathering of refugees.

The Gulf Territory gained population.

Everyone wins!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Gulf Territory purchased a large amount of supplies and food.

This time, almost no lord dared to refuse to cooperate with the Gulf Territory.

They don't want the territory's burden to increase, nor do they want the prices of various materials sold in the Gulf Territory to increase.

Interestingly, the Gulf Territory made a lot of money by selling various war supplies, and at the same time, it also recovered the corpses of dragon-blooded creatures killed by the major territories.

By utilizing the materials of these dragon-blooded creatures, the Gulf Territories made a variety of war supplies and resold them to these territories at an astonishing profit.

Back and forth.

For every transaction, Bayland can earn more than 3 times the price difference.

Many supplies hoarded by the Gulf Territory were put into newly dug underground warehouses.

Lots and lots of orders.

Busy engineering and construction teams.

A large number of various materials.

Continue to integrate into the population of the Gulf Territory.

They are constantly consolidating the foundation of the Gulf Territory and improving its development potential.

Just when the Gulf Territory was developing rapidly, the great evil that had been accumulated for a long time finally came.

January 18th.

Bay collar.

clear.

A cool breeze came from the underground laboratory.

Waves of ghosts crying and wolves howling disappeared into nothingness.

Matthew, who had just completed the transformation surgery, calmly watched the battle message sent by Angela.

"An army of more than 300,000 dragon-blooded creatures will arrive at the border of the Gulf Territory in three days."

"According to intelligence, this army is led by 16 gregarious land dragons, each of which is an elite unit of extraordinary rank or above!"

300000!

A very scary number!

Not to mention a crazy dragon-blooded creature!

Matthew thought for a moment and replied a few words to Angela:

"Save strength, exchange space for time."

After finishing the task, Matthew stopped paying attention to the war situation.

He believed that the Gulf leaders and commanders, who had achieved tremendous growth, could win this war.

After receiving the reply, Angela did not immediately tell everyone about Matthew's reminder. Instead, she continued to say to everyone:

"Let's discuss together, which war plan to choose?"

The commanders looked at each other, feeling the tremendous pressure. Looking at their expressions, they carefully considered various plans.

The discussion about the dragon-blood biological warfare meeting that lasted two hours?

As soon as the meeting ended, various orders quickly spread throughout the Gulf Territory.

The army united with the Lord's Mansion to make arrangements to deal with the army of dragon-blooded creatures.

Almost everyone in the territory began to join in the mobilization for combat.

Everyone knows very well that war is not only a matter for soldiers, but also closely related to everyone in the territory.

Various mobilizations and various wartime orders began to unite everyone in the territory as a whole.

Everyone listened to one voice, and with mutual cooperation and efforts, the already very small barriers disappeared as quickly as possible.

People donated all kinds of materials.

The factory works overtime.

Various jobs have also become busier.

Everyone worked hard to contribute to the next war.

Three days later.

The dark clouds in the distance slowly dissipated under the breeze.

Angela, who was standing on the city wall, silently watched the large swarms of dragon antelopes coming in, and shouted loudly without hesitation:

"Cannon ready, fire!!"

The roaring cannon spit out surging fireballs.

Pieces of cannonballs flew side by side, spinning and smashing into the dragon antelope army.

Bang!

Click!

Blood splattered everywhere and limbs flew everywhere!

The terrifying shells smashed big holes in the body of the dragon antelope.

In just this moment, hundreds of dragon antelopes fell.

These huge antelopes, which also had pointed and long horns and jumped very fast, were hit hard immediately.

Dozens of roads paved with flesh and blood lie between them.

But these dragon antelopes didn't care, they let out wild beast-like roars one after another, and roared towards the towering city wall.

Combining dwarf and elf technology, as well as Matthew's "inspired" new cannon, the range has reached an astonishing 1 kilometer.

These dragon antelopes ran forward 200 meters and were once again subjected to the fierce baptism of artillery.

This time, the more lethal shells caused more terrible damage.

Those fallen dragon antelopes were quickly trampled mercilessly by their companions and turned into rubble on the ground.

Arnold shouted for the soldiers to reload.

Lyon has arranged for crossbowmen to prepare for shooting.

The dragon antelope was running forward crazily, and its long legs that kept jumping forward suddenly stepped on the air, and the seemingly solid ground sank in an instant.

More than a thousand dragon antelopes fell into a trap 6 to 7 meters wide in an instant.

Once they fall into a trap full of mud and spikes, it is impossible to let them escape again.

But these dragon antelopes still didn't care. They jumped high in front of the trap and fell heavily into it, as if they didn't hesitate to lose their lives.

After silently glancing at them, Arnold gave the order to continue shooting without hesitation.

The sound of artillery continued to roar on the city, and more and more dragon antelopes were killed by this "epoch-making" weapon.

Just in terms of attack distance!

Dissatisfied with the low power of Arnold, he couldn't help but said to Wildhammer who was recording information and data next to him:

"Is it possible to develop a cannonball that can explode? Just relying on these iron balls to hit it will have too little lethality."

Subconsciously frowning, Wildhammer was about to shake his head in denial.

But he soon fell into deep thought again, constantly calculating the possibility of a delayed explosion in his mind.

Aini glanced at him and couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Explosion? Can I use spells? There are many explosion-type spells!"

When Wildhammer suddenly heard this, his eyes widened subconsciously, and he couldn't help but said excitedly:

"That's right, the material of the cannonball is relatively hard anyway. Just flying and hitting it with a hammer will not do much damage. If it can be accompanied by a spell..."

While they were discussing, the trap that had swallowed three to four thousand tall dragon antelopes was filled with their corpses.

Such a shocking picture made the defending soldiers feel a little pressure.

Angela, who was aware of this, turned to Feili next to her without hesitation and said:

"Arrange a fire!"

The entire trap was covered with fierce fire oil. After ten or twenty thousand dragon antelopes passed through the obstruction of the trap, they were ignited by sparks.

The rising flames instantly devoured all the corpses.

However, many dragon antelopes braved the risk of catching fire and broke through the three or four-meter-high fire wall, charging fiercely towards the city wall.

Most of them fell on the way to the charge.

Especially the crossbow arrows fired wiped out the lives of these dragon antelopes in pieces.

Looking at these dragon antelopes, which were three to four meters tall, strong and muscular, Yaya, who was observing the battle in the sky, could not help but drool and said:

"Oh, these antelopes look delicious. They are big and have a lot of meat. If we can capture more, we should be able to raise them, right?"

Hearing Yaya's words, Matthew couldn't help but smile, patted her head gently, and said with a smile:

"This is simple. You can give orders to adventurers, then build a breeding farm and recruit professional personnel to help you breed, thereby solving your greedy problem."

Yaya didn't feel embarrassed at all, but started singing about the beautiful scene, and was laughing happily at this moment.

A dragon antelope slammed into the city wall.

The sharp and slender corners only scratched a white mark on the rough city wall.

And its entire head was smashed to pieces by the huge force.

Only a conspicuous pool of blood was left on the city wall before he fell down limply.

Almost all the dragon antelopes were killed under the strong city wall.

Occasionally, some dragon antelopes are ready to take advantage of their high jump and hit the city wall in the air.

The consequences are actually no different. Facing the solid city wall, these seemingly threatening dragon antelopes have no choice but to attack in groups in vain.

After confirming that these dragon antelopes would not cause any trouble, Angela breathed a sigh of relief and looked calmly into the distance.

There, the large forces of the Dragon Blood Army finally slowly came over.

All kinds of dragon-blooded creatures seemed to be infected by the dragon antelope, running towards this side crazily.

Angela didn't look at those dragon-blooded creatures that were too small. No matter how many they were, they couldn't pose any threat to the defense of the Mist Fortress.

What really scares Angela are the dragon turtles wearing thick armor, copper heads and iron bones.

These huge giant dragon turtles have some unexpectedly long legs.

Their running speed is not slow at all, and their tonnage is frighteningly high.

Behind these dragon turtles, hundreds of fast-crawling ground dragons were also roaring and roaring.

Angela took one look at them and immediately arranged them as quickly as possible:

"Heavy crossbows are prepared to be divided into groups of five, giving priority to shooting dragon turtles!"

The heavy crossbowmen who heard this immediately began to get busy.

The huge arrow, as thick as a wrist, was lifted onto the crossbow by two people.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The huge crossbow arrow flew out, spinning and hitting the dragon turtle's body.

The crossbow arrow that hit the dragon turtle's back just wiped out a series of jumping sparks.

Fortunately, the effect of attacking other parts is pretty good. As long as it touches, it will be a huge wound.

The toxins on them and the huge bleeding tank will quickly weaken these dragon turtles.

Stopping large creatures and approaching the city wall as slowly as possible is the purpose of launching these long-range weapons.

Behind these dragon turtles, three huge land dragons rushed over with unparalleled power.

They were very fast, and the ground shook with every step they took.

They are covered with gray-brown scales, exuding a thick metallic luster under the sunlight.

They have astonishing razor-like fangs, which give people a piercing chill just by looking at them.

They have no regard for the dragon-blooded creatures around them.

Every step on it will cause death or injury to other dragon-blooded creatures.

But the dragon-blooded creatures around him didn't even care.

For some unknown reason, they gathered around the land dragon.

Follow them and rush towards the Mist Castle together.

Such a shocking army of flesh and blood made Angela exhale slightly, and she shouted loudly without hesitation:

"Every unit is ready, let's shoot together!"

Various weapons flew out.

Including but not limited to spinning cannonballs, flying crossbows, roaring fireballs, and huge rocks that "whistled" one after another.

Various weapons hit Lu Xinglong's body, but they failed to slow them down at all.

Such a powerful and terrifying monster would really put tremendous pressure on people.

Fortunately, Angela was prepared and made a hidden gesture to Arnold.

The latter shouted to the dragon-hunting crossbows lying in ambush everywhere: "Let go!"

The war between the Gulf Territory and the dragon army broke out!
