Emperor of Arcane

call! call! call!

A huge flame burst out from the flame nozzle, spitting out azure tongues of flame, and rushed dozens of meters away in one breath.

The violent vibrations caused by the elemental fusion engine running at full power made the thrusters made of various rare metals such as fine gold and magic iron tremble slightly.

The huge floating city with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers slowly moved towards the west while trembling slightly.

The surrounding clouds and air currents were stirred up, and some birds perched on the floating city also flew high in panic.

However, they cannot fly directly above the floating city as usual and are intercepted by the shining magic barrier.

"The power system is operating normally and the operating power reaches 45%..."

"The propulsion system is operating normally. The nozzle temperature of the 12 core engines is 23,000 degrees. The propulsion speed will reach 300 kilometers per hour in 5 minutes..."

"The defense system is operating normally and the multi-functional defense program is being activated..."

"The energy system is operating normally and current energy usage is 23%..."

"The stability system of Longchao Air and Space Base is operating normally and data collection is in progress..."

"..."

Various reports came to Matthew's ears.

He glanced at the basic situation controlled by the core console, then looked at the researchers who were studying hard and trying to manipulate, and continued to say calmly:

"Conduct speed increase and deceleration experiments, strengthen structural strength testing, and carry out reinforcement and stability modifications in advance."

"Release the Feilong patrol aircraft to control the air area within 50 kilometers."

As Matthew's order was issued, various departments of the Dragon Nest Air Base began to operate quickly.

From the rocky area below the floating city, hundreds of stealth flying dragon patrol aircraft rushed out.

They were extremely fast and made very little noise. They shuttled through the clouds silently, leaving no trace behind.

These newly developed flying dragon patrol aircraft use the many crystallizations of major research institutes in the Gulf Territory and various relic technologies in the Ellasco plane.

New materials, new magic effects, new combinations.

This creates the powerful ability of these flying dragon patrol aircraft to be silent.

Looking carefully, the rocky surface flying out of the flying dragon patrol plane was equipped with a large phantom magic circle.

They have remained as they were before, but in fact, the Gulf Territory has fully excavated and transformed its internal space.

The production, storage, maintenance and other needs of Feilong inspection aircraft will be solved here.

The secret staff of the Gulf Leadership Army have been working here for quite some time.

Now, they will fully show their strength and give the enemies in the Gulf Territory more shock and damage!

The dark clouds in front were pushed away, and the huge violent force caused the floating city, which had finished warming up, to accelerate forward.

The huge movement was immediately noticed by soldiers and adventurers from the city-state below.

They saw the huge floating city slowly breaking through the shackles of the clouds and accelerating towards the distant sky.

When people look at the ground, they can only see about 10 to 20 kilometers.

But when you look at the sky, you can see a wider space.

But he couldn't chase the scene of the floating city leaving, he could only watch it go away.

Many adventurers swallowed their saliva, turned to look at the Dragoon No. 1 Golem passing by, and sighed without thinking:

"This floating city can actually move? Is Matthew the Great Arcanist so powerful?"

The companion on the side nodded without hesitation and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Of course, once you have more contact with the Bay Territory, you will understand how powerful Lord Matthew is!"

"Just think about the fact that the Gulf Territory can easily produce tens of thousands of these golems that can keep us in check, and you will understand."

The gray dwarf on the other side, who was wearing heavy armor and was only about one meter tall, heard the discussion between the two of them, took a sip of wine and sighed:

"This is nothing to the Gulf Territory. What you should go and see are the large-scale factories that the Gulf Territory has built in various places."

"Each factory area produces hundreds of thousands of tons of goods every day, supplying various daily necessities and commodities to the major territories and kingdoms throughout the northern continent."

The companion on the side walked over, looked back from the distant sky thoughtfully, and muttered with emotion:

"Stop talking, our combat mission is about to begin. This time we have to clean up the plague zombies, which is very troublesome and dangerous."

"..."

Just when everyone was discussing the next move and goal of the Gulf Territory.

Relevant news quickly reached the hands of Commander Cole Elf.

Several Cole Elf commanders who got the news couldn't help but look at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.

"That big piece of stone can really move? How is this possible!"

"The floating city is too huge and bulky. It must be driven by Mythra's core. Ordinary elemental fusion engines cannot shake it at all..."

"It would definitely be a big loss if we didn't take over the manufacturing technology of Mythra's core..."

"It's difficult to do. The core technology is mastered by the great arcanist Iolum, and there is also the vague involvement of the goddess of magic. Even its disciples cannot master it."

"With such an important energy core, they must have corresponding countermeasures."

"Until the technology is fully analyzed, even if we can produce and manufacture it, we won't dare to use it..."

"Although Matthew's ability is strong, it is absolutely impossible to drive the damaged Floating City No. 1 with his own power. The only possibility is that he used the core of Mythra!"

At this point in the discussion, the Cole Elf commanders, who originally felt quite troubled, suddenly looked at each other.

They all saw the unparalleled heat in each other's eyes.

The reason is simple. From a national level, there is no doubt that the core of Mythra is destructive, and the core areas and facilities cannot utilize it.

However, this does not mean that the Cole Elves do not want to obtain and utilize the Mythra Core.

The Cole Elf Kingdom has obtained a lot of information by studying the only Mythra core.

Except for some maintenance and care costs, Mythra's core can steadily release a large amount of energy with almost no investment.

This mind-blowing power and technology, even if you cannot grasp its essence, can still create a steady stream of wealth by just using its own abilities.

For the vast majority of ordinary Cole elves, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they also have a long lifespan.

It can be said that there is nothing worth pursuing with all their might.

But for the ruling class of the Cole elves, their thirst for more resources and power is endless.

They desire longer lifespans, research various technologies, and strive to improve their strength.

If possible, they also want to become gods who do not have to worry about birth, old age, illness and death!

After all, there are already pearls and jade in front of them, which intelligent creature would not be moved?

In order to do this, the Cole Elf rulers must master more resources and occupy more territory.

If they could get the Mythra Core, not to mention the symbolic achievements, the value alone would be enough to support all the commanders present.

They were still a little resistant at first, but they immediately started to use their brains.

"The Gulf Territory has invested so much money not only to stabilize the Ellasco plane, but also to get something from here."

"The nearly 10 million city-state residents of the El Lasco plane should be the Gulf Territory's most desired resource."

"If the Gulf Territory wants it, with Matthew's current identity and status, he should be able to take it all."

"However, there is no need to use the floating city. The combat puppets produced urgently by Guanghaiwan Territory can hold back the army of plague zombies."

"These combat puppets are very powerful in combat and contain many technologies from the Goblin Empire and the Mechanical Demiplane..."

"The combat puppet production department is stepping up research and development and production. It is expected that it will take next year before it can be put into combat troops on a large scale..."

"Is it strong enough? With the style of Bay Collar, these should be just experimental products at the moment, and the ones in the future will become stronger and stronger."

"After completing the research and improvement of the elemental puppets and diamond golems, it should be enough to reach at least the super peak and the legendary peak on average."

"This is not something we should worry about. Remind the guys over there to be careful about the floating city in the Gulf Territory..."

"There should be no chance here. The city in the Gulf Territory has been built. Prepare to let the lizard people take action. They are greedy enough!"

"Well, as long as they get involved with the Bay Leader, they will never go back!"

"..."

In their discussions, there was no plan to directly attack the Gulf territorial defense line and strongholds for the time being.

So many combat units have tried it before, but they are obviously not very good at it. On the contrary, they have suffered heavy losses and basically lost the ability to fight again.

Although they have many plans in the Ellasco plane, deep down in their hearts, they don't have much confidence that they can hold back the Gulf Territory.

The Dark Forest killer weapon they had prepared so painstakingly had not had time to take effect before they were easily surrounded by the Gulf Leader.

Judging from the current situation, if they do not activate those hidden dangers and methods, they will be able to persist longer and prevent Matthew and the Gulf Territory from seizing the opportunity to focus on cleanup.

At the beginning, there may be some Kor Elf commanders who expressed "displeasure".

Paddling thinking that you have nothing to do is simply disrespecting the mission and tasks.

They will soon suffer the consequences of the Bay Territory.

Only the luckiest ones can escape, the slightly luckier ones will be killed, and the unlucky ones will be caught by the Bay Leader.

The endings of the latter two will destroy the confidence of most Cole elves.

Because the Gulf Territory is really not afraid and really doesn’t care!

The floating city that keeps moving forward attracts a lot of eyes and attention along the way.

From time to time, a bright light flashed in the sky, which was the flying dragon patrol plane fighting.

No flying individual can break through their encirclement and patrol and get close to the location of the floating city.

From time to time, mechanical flying dragons would fly down from the floating city and rush towards the designated attack target.

More than 100 mechanical flying dragons showed a different fighting style than before.

Explode when you encounter an enemy, and fire when you encounter an enemy.

Don't care about ammo consumption at all!

Some Cole Elf scouts who observed them immediately reported back this abnormal phenomenon.

Before they could react, the mechanical flying dragons, which blasted all the plague zombies and undead monsters they saw, returned to the sky happily.

Through long-distance observation, the Cole Elf investigators saw a scene that shocked them.

The mechanical flying dragon that had just returned to the floating city flew out again.

"No way? Are you leaving so soon?"

"How can this be?"

"So many bombs, so many supplies..."

"This is not the key. The key is that they can get supplies anytime and anywhere without having to fly back to the base."

As soon as this statement came out, all the Cole Elf investigators were dumbfounded.

They know the mechanical flying dragons very well, and have even calculated how many bombs they can carry, how far they can fly, and how wide their attack radius is.

It can be said that if the Gulf Territory strengthens and transforms the mechanical flying dragon, they will receive corresponding data updates in time.

The reason why there is so much attention to the mechanical flying dragon is because of the powerful bombing and destructive power of the mechanical flying dragon and the terrifying means of attacking directly from the sky.

But who knows, the Gulf Territory's strengthening of the mechanical flying dragon did not mainly strengthen these two aspects.

Instead, they used an unprecedented method to raise the overall threat level of the mechanical flying dragon to a stronger level.

As they expected, the mechanical flying dragon, which had no bomb restrictions, showed destructive firepower that spanned the ages.

All the undead monsters and plague zombies discovered by them would have several blockbuster bombs dropped on their heads without realizing it.

Even though these two are not ordinary creatures, and their survivability and defense capabilities are quite good, they still cannot withstand such a devastating bombing.

The destructive flames and shock waves easily swept them away.

Occasionally, most of the individuals that survived were incomplete. Even if the corpses of other monsters could be used to "repair" them, they would not pose much of a threat after all.

The commanders of the Gulf Territory located in the Dragon Nest Air and Space Base have also begun to become familiar with the convenience and speed of dispatching mechanical flying dragons to bomb various areas.

With the opponent almost unable to fight back, they have only one task.

Improve efficiency!

In this case, the pressure naturally comes to the logistics department.

With a relatively small number of people and the need to use engineering golems, they decisively applied for part of the console's computing power.

As a result, some fully automatic or semi-automatic Golem construction machinery began to get rid of the shackles of the driver and operate with higher efficiency.

Even under this situation, the operating speed of the Golem construction machinery still cannot keep up with the needs of the mechanical flying dragon.

As a result, new tool workers were quickly produced and dispatched.

New optimized operation procedures will be put in place soon.

There were many twists and turns and problems throughout the entire operation.

The style of Bay Collar is to solve problems if they arise, solve problems if they arise, and don’t continue to accumulate them for the future.

The entire operation process, problems discovered, and solutions to problems will be fully recorded.

The purpose of this is naturally to develop better operating standards and procedures.

These operating standards and procedures are not absolute and will be continuously improved and optimized through the accumulation of research and use experience.

This part of the hidden improvement naturally comes from the use of the console.

In terms of information storage, data calculation, efficiency optimization, information transmission, etc., the console can save considerable time and labor costs.

It is not as eye-catching as various weapons, but it has been steadily functioning, quietly changing the work flow of people in the Gulf.

Regarding the use of these tools, Matthew always adopts the attitude of using them as they can.

Of course, Matthew is also fully prepared with corresponding countermeasures and multiple second-hand preparations.

He will not choose to blindly believe or promote in order to use various tools.

Bay Territory needs a little bit of adapting, and people need a little bit of growing up.

Whether it is knowledge, systems, ideas, or individuals, they all need a little progress.

The floating city that was bombarded all the way made many Cole Elf investigators feel a deep sense of "despair".

They reported all the data, and then got together to discuss with emotion:

"We don't use the floating city to advance the battle, but use it as a carrier to strengthen combat units. It really fits the style of the Gulf Territory."

"How do you know that the Gulf Council will not use the combat power of the floating city itself?"

"That's right. The Gulf Territory will not leave any weak points. Maybe they have prepared traps early on."

"If you think about it this way, it's very possible..."

"If other great arcanists also master the fighting methods of the Gulf Territory, then Netheril's floating city will have even more terrifying destructive power..."

For a moment, all the Cole Elf investigators were silent.

They all often say that if they are not afraid of the development of the Netheril Empire, they are laying a trap for the Kor elves.

Whatever technology they want, they can get it quite easily.

If one year doesn't work, just two years.

If not two years, just a few years.

It is precisely because of this that even the Gulf Territory placed some obstacles for them during the transaction process.

The Cole Elves still believe that behind the Gulf Territory, there have always been some great arcane masters within the Cole Elf Kingdom.

Behavioral style may change.

The underlying logic will not change.

But this does not mean that the Cole Elf Kingdom can infinitely "tolerate" the Netheril Empire becoming stronger.

The rise of the Gulf Territory, the production and creation of various weapons and equipment and magical artifacts.

It has already brought enough and far-reaching impacts to the entire northern continent.

Thanks to the big guys in the Cole Elf Kingdom Council, their minds were still running fast, and they never wanted to "meet directly" with the Gulf Territory.

The Gulf leaders are also quite "interesting", and their many contacts and confrontations are all about scratching the surface and stopping at the point.

The "overlord status" of the Cole Elf Kingdom was not greatly affected or shaken.

Many forces are waiting for the Cole Elf Kingdom to take action.

After all, in the eyes of the vast majority of lords and nobles, as the overlord for thousands of years, the Cole Elf Kingdom must have corresponding technological reserves and heritage.

But unfortunately, the Cole Elf Kingdom really can't do this.

Under such circumstances, once the Cole Elf Kingdom takes action and fails to achieve a devastating victory, it will inevitably be questioned in various ways.

With Matthew's current status, Yaya's powerful strength, and his increasingly larger army.

Whether the Gulf Territory fails or loses, it will not be destroyed immediately.

Other lords and nobles will soon think of various weapons and equipment based on the combat effectiveness displayed by the Gulf Territory.

Once they thought about it, they had mastered these powerful weapons and equipment, and when facing the Cole Elf Kingdom, they were no longer helpless to fight back.

Then, their ambitions will begin to grow!

Armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arise!

The Cole Elf Kingdom will not allow such a situation to occur, so it will continue to control the situation.

Although the Parliament rejected the mechanization of the Full Golem, it did not prohibit this process.

Other territories and nobles who can see benefits and prospects will naturally strive to develop in this area.

After enough time, the Cole Elf Kingdom relied on its huge population, many high-quality talents, and more advanced magic technology.

Naturally, we can catch up with and surpass the Gulf Territory in this regard.

When that time comes, the Elf Kingdom of Cole will show stronger strength and capabilities.

Those who were originally wavering and questioning will become supporters of the Cole Elf Kingdom again.

Naturally, someone will speak out for the Elf Kingdom of Kor.

Even if they are used to being exploited, as long as they suck enough blood from their compatriots, they will feel sincerely satisfied and work hard to maintain it.

This is the strategy of the Cole Elf Kingdom to face many enemies that are temporarily unbeatable.

They have succeeded many times and this time will be no exception.

However, the Netherese Empire is an exception!

The Netheril Empire, which is already strong enough, has been stealing the show in the past few decades or hundreds of years.

If it had not been for the retirement of the Grand Arcanist of Iolum, there would have been power struggles and divisions among the Grand Arcanists.

The pressure and methods of the Cole Elf Kingdom will definitely be even more extreme than they are now.

Fortunately, the great arcanists who have mastered powerful power are still using their original thinking and logic to deal with problems.

The Cole Elf Kingdom took action again in time, greatly interrupting and preventing the birth of the young Grand Arcanist.

And through various means, they completely divided and disintegrated the possibility of cooperation among the great arcanists.

They even paid a huge price to help the great arcanists perfect and improve the longevity technique!

That's right, the longevity spell created by the great arcanist Iolum also had a strong "contribution" from the Elf Kingdom of Cole.

However, this immortality technique, which has been perfected and improved to a certain level by the Cole Elf Kingdom and is very easy to use, has an extremely terrible flaw!

This flaw is the insidious backhand left by the Cole Elf Kingdom!

Granting "immortality" to other intelligent beings is the "core technology" for the Cole Elf Kingdom to become the overlord!

This is also the reason why the golem mechanization proposal was terminated by the parliament. Although it caused some shocks, it ultimately failed to affect the overall situation.

Every Cole Elf councilor and strong person is the real vested interest and the strongest base of the Cole Elf Kingdom!

Matthew, who was inspecting the Dragon Nest Sky Base, knew nothing about all this in the Cole Elf Kingdom.

However, even if he knew about it, he would only lament that the old Y-boys were really having fun and would not invest more energy.

The destruction of the Cole Elf Kingdom is doomed, Matthew has never changed this process, but has been increasing the push!

At this moment, Yaya’s crisp voice reached Matthew’s ears:

"Ah! We're here!"

"There's going to be a fight!"
