Emperor of Arcane

Crackling!

Subtle lightning continuously emerged from the body of the air element.

They had no rules at all, but continuously emerged around, as if the whole air was burnt, and filled with a faint strange smell.

Chris understood why this was the case. The legendary air element was seriously polluted and had gradually transformed into an evil creature.

Facing a semi-elemental creature of this level, Chris did not have much confidence in winning.

After all, the opponent's physical damage reduction had reached a very amazing level.

According to the data of the Bay Territory, it fluctuated between 75% and 77%.

However, Chris was not the previous demon swordsman.

Under Matthew's protection, he could choose the evil creature he wanted and that was very compatible with him.

At present, the conditions for Chris to complete the demon sealing ceremony far exceeded those of all previous demon swordsmen.

The slightly glowing magic sealing array stretched out one golden chain after another, deeply piercing into the body of the air element evil creature.

The elemental evil creature captured by the Bay Leader from the Thunder Demiplane vaguely sensed the fatal danger and kept twisting and struggling.

Unfortunately, his body formed by the convergence of rotating air currents could not avoid the constraints of physical chains and sealing arrays like before.

The magic-sealing chains that pierced into his body slowly controlled various parts of his body.

What these chains controlled were the energy cores of various areas.

The elemental bodies of elemental life forms can be broken up and destroyed, but the energy cores cannot be lost.

Once the energy core is destroyed or lost, it means the permanent loss of its control power.

Therefore, the air element evil creature, which had most of its core power controlled, could only be firmly bound in the array and watched Chris walk in.

Before the air element evil creature could react, more delicate but solid chains drilled out of Chris's body and pierced deeply into his body.

The power and expertise that Chris inspired soon resonated with the magic-sealing array.

They worked together to bring the trembling air element evil creature and Chris's body into contact.

The seemingly weak airflow, but with extremely strong destructive power, easily cut Chris's solid skin.

Before the blood flowed out, the surging vitality had already healed it.

At the same time, when the wound was healing, it also brought part of the air element evil creature into Chris's body.

Chris did not have the arcane fire like Matthew, and could not easily "destroy" these forces and turn them into firewood for his own breakthrough.

The condensed life force burst out in a concentrated manner, destroying the core force that was pulled in bit by bit.

The life force was lost a lot, but it changed a little bit, becoming more condensed and pure.

As for the remaining thoughts and power, they were impacting Chris's soul bit by bit.

Chris, who was well prepared, withstood the pressure on the soul and accelerated the magic sealing ceremony.

More bodies of the air element evil creature were accommodated in his body bit by bit.

In the fierce collision and confrontation, Chris's condition has not been affected, and he has been recovering continuously.

This is due to the various medicines and nutritional supplements prepared by the Bay Lord before the ceremony began.

Whether it is the body, soul, or life force, they all became stronger rapidly in the fierce collision.

Although the accumulation of the air element evil creatures is large, it is like water without a source and duckweed without roots, and is consumed bit by bit.

The air element evil creatures, which have lost most of their ability to fight back, struggle to shrink their strength.

This is the instinctive reaction of evil creatures to danger. Usually, they can survive the danger.

Unfortunately, they are facing the Bay Lord and the Demon Sealing Swordsman.

The air element evil creatures, whose underwear has been seen through, only lasted for half an hour before being completely sealed in Chris's body.

Next, the air element evil creatures, which have consumed 70% of their strength, will save the remaining 30% at all costs.

At this point in the ceremony, 90% has been completed.

Although he had various wounds all over his body, Chris could easily withstand the pressure with his perfect body and recovery ability.

Compared with other demon swordsmen, the demon swordsmen in the Bay Territory who had undergone surgery and enhanced transformation undoubtedly had stronger survival ability and advantages.

The attacks launched by various evil creatures when they were sealed could basically be ignored by them.

In this way, they could focus more on the sealing ceremony itself, which could greatly increase the success rate.

The last 10% was to build a closer power connection between Chris and the air element evil creature.

Only by building a power connection network could the power of the air element evil creature be guided and consumed again and again within the range that the body could bear.

When the power of the air element evil creature was exhausted, it could no longer maintain the basic structure of its existence.

At that time, it was time for Chris to "swallow" it completely.

Of course, in this process, Chris had to guard against the pollution of the evil power of the air element, be careful of the invasion of its thoughts and consciousness, and pay attention to the rapid digestion and use of the devouring power.

This will be a relatively long process!

And the beginning of this process.

Chris had to use most of the power stored in the evil air element to temper himself, strengthen his soul, and purify his life force.

There was a summary of the experience accumulated by the magic swordsman for thousands of years.

There were 24 magic swordsmen who gave instructions and taught.

There was logistical support provided by the Bay Territory.

There was a magic sealing array arranged by Matthew himself to assist in the ceremony.

If Chris still couldn't successfully complete the ceremony and break through to the legendary level, he would really see the undead!

Chris successfully completed the breakthrough!

The violent fighting spirit and "qi" rushed out.

Like a real sword spirit, it also lingered around Chris.

In the gaps between these forces, the evil violent power of the air element was faintly exuded.

Judging from the breakthrough vision, Chris performed quite successfully.

There were no obvious changes in various parts of his body, and it was obvious that he had completely suppressed the evil spirits of the air element.

The onlookers were amazed and could clearly feel the excellent state of Chris.

With the supply of many materials from the Gulf Territory, the safety brought by the comfortable environment, and the research and suppression of various evil spirits.

The demon swordsmen who were originally in very bad condition have now basically recovered.

Even the demon swordsmen who were in excellent condition like the old swordsman have taken advantage of the large amount of resources and help provided by the Gulf Territory.

Not only did they successfully get rid of the excess evil spirits in their bodies, but they also greatly improved their strength.

They are also ready to accept the transformation of dragon warriors and continue to work hard to become stronger.

For becoming stronger and hunting evil spirits!

These swordsmen who have been engaged in this work all their lives are absolutely serious.

Matthew even found more inspiration from their situation and development, and is ready to cooperate with the swordsmen to complete the construction of the subsequent demon swordsman road.

Legend is far from the end!

Matthew recorded all the details of Chris's breakthrough to the legend, and further accumulated the foundation for the Bay Territory to become stronger.

He had a vague premonition in his heart.

With the arrival of the elemental tide, the concentration of elemental energy in the material plane continued to rise, and various magical resources continued to increase, which could accommodate the increase in the upper limit of life strength.

The difficulty of breakthrough for legendary professionals will definitely continue to decrease.

The increase in the number of legendary professionals does not mean that the strength of legendary professionals will continue to increase.

On the contrary, the reduction in the difficulty of breakthrough will reduce the gold content of legendary professionals.

Now become a legendary professional.

It requires the professional's body, soul, and life energy.

At least two of the three have reached the peak of the super class.

Then through the ceremony, the transformation of breaking through the shackles of legend is completed.

The stronger the foundation, the more solid the foundation, and the greater the enhancement brought by the breakthrough.

This reminded Matthew of the breakthrough of most players.

Usually, only one or two conditions need to be met to complete the professional task of breaking through the legend, and then you can succeed in your job quite smoothly.

From the perspective of difficulty, the difficulty of breakthrough for future legendary professionals has been reduced by at least 30%, while the comprehensive ability and strength have been reduced by at least 50%.

The chain reaction caused by this made Matthew feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"If the players were not able to exchange information and had an essential pursuit of fighting and becoming stronger, it would be more and more difficult to fight against those monsters and enemies."

Matthew was not sure whether this situation was decided by the players themselves or guided.

But this greatly weakened the strength of the players and also set the upper limit of the growth of most players.

"It seems that everything is about to begin!"

March 15.

The southern province of the Kingdom of Cole Elf.

In the endless hills, there are many underground world raiders.

They usually hide in the deep mountains and forests, and will launch attacks decisively after receiving news, intelligence and various supplies.

The gray dwarf forces followed suit and built underground cities and strongholds one after another.

They dug dense tunnels under the hills and "supported" the looters from all over.

Of course, it's better to say that they let the looters work for them than to say that they support them.

They bought the various items and slaves they robbed at low prices, sold them cheap food and wine at high prices, and provided them with some high-quality weapons and equipment.

The former only needed enough food, but the latter had high requirements.

However, the looters, who were very arrogant and domineering in the past, were now panicking and drilling into the entrances of various tunnels.

Continuous arrows flew over, mixed with rotating warheads and whistling shells.

Various long-range attacks made the looters flee in panic.

The gray dwarfs, who had watched from a distance, ignored these fools who were already dead and blocked the hole very simply.

In order to prevent the elves from getting in, they prepared various alchemical bombs to give them some special surprises.

However, after killing these looters who could not escape in time, the elves did not attack the gray dwarves in the passage.

They left quickly and headed straight for the next battle site.

Looking at their departing backs, the gray dwarves quickly recorded their battle situation and reported it to their superiors without hesitation.

"Various types of artillery and new weapons have begun to be widely deployed in the Cole Elf troops..."

"In addition, a larger number of Cole Elf spellcasters also participated in the battle..."

"More than one-tenth of the plunderer troops suffered a devastating blow, and the others were also scared..."

"The number of Cole Elf combat troops is large, and the preliminary estimate is at least 800,000..."

"They also used engineering golems and mechanical golems, but their efficiency is not as good as the engineering golems produced by the Gulf Territory..."

"The number of spellcasters has increased significantly, and the number of various magic props and equipment has also increased."

"The situation of long-range spellcasting and bombing is becoming more serious..."

"The vast majority of plunderer troops cannot confront the Cole Elf combat troops head-on..."

After completing these tasks, many gray dwarves in the gray dwarf stronghold soon received the order to retreat.

The second prince of the gray dwarf, Krezer, asked them to retreat to a deeper stronghold.

The purpose of doing this is mainly to prevent the Cole elves from raiding.

At the same time, it can also make them better accept the plunderer troops.

"One-tenth of the loss is far from the end."

"Based on the current determination and scale of the Kor elves, they will lose at least 2 to 3 times as much."

The second prince of the gray dwarves, Krezer, who was studying hard, carefully looked at the strongholds and underground passages throughout the southern part of the Kor Elf Kingdom, and continued in a firm tone:

"By that time, these slave soldiers and the various tribes in the underground world will inevitably lose their organization. It is a great opportunity for us to recover them."

"As long as about 1/4 of the slave warriors are captured by us, we will have a trump card against the Kor elves..."

Woji turned his head, Facing the somewhat nervous gray dwarf lords, he continued to explain very straightforwardly:

"The dormancy and accumulation in the past few years are for the current opportunity."

"All of you must withstand the pressure for me, and never relax or be careless."

"Leave the fighting to the slave warriors, or guide more underground forces to enter the battlefield."

"Increasing the population and accumulating technology and various resources, as well as digging more underground bases, are what we should do..."

These specially trained and selected gray dwarf lords do not have considerable autonomy like the gray dwarf lords before them.

Instead, they are like the managers of the Gulf Territory, in charge of various matters, arranging and handling various tasks.

The gray dwarves spent a lot of effort and thought on learning about the Gulf Territory.

The second prince Krezer turned his head and said to the silent envoy of the Gulf Territory next to him:

"We request the Gulf Territory to provide more production lines and core parts, and we will definitely be able to better contain the Cole Elf Kingdom."

The envoy did not speak, but just recorded what the second prince Krezer said and quickly reported it to his superiors.

Soon, Matthew's smiling face appeared on the display screen of the remote communication device.

He sent a video showing the battle scene between the Drow Elves and the Mind Flayer Empire, and said directly to the second prince Krezer:

"The Cole Elf Kingdom has made up its mind to take action. The Drow Elves and a considerable part of the underground forces are temporarily unable to spare their hands."

Thinking of the unclear relationship between the Mind Flayer Empire and the Cole Elf Kingdom, the second prince Krezer felt a lot of pressure.

He has gradually realized that it will be an extremely difficult and long task to return to the underground world and regain the former territory and capital.

Even the second prince Krezer is worried whether he can make breakthroughs and progress in this regard in his lifetime.

Matthew saw the state of the second prince Krezer, and naturally would not let him "depressed" like this, so he directly told his own arrangements:

"Don't worry about the troubles of the Kor elves, they will soon be unable to protect themselves."

"As for the Mind Flayer Empire, they are about to find a new attack target and a way out."

Matthew clearly remembered when the plot of the Mind Flayer Empire officially started.

Its main attack target was the elven countries not far from the border with the Kor Elf Kingdom.

They could not withstand the attack of the Mind Flayer Empire, and their cities were destroyed and people died.

A considerable number of them fled to the human empire, bringing with them many precious inheritances and knowledge.

The Cole Elf Kingdom, which took advantage of the situation, also easily gathered a large number of elves, and stabbed the Heart Flayer Empire in the back when it was in a decisive battle with the Human Kingdom Alliance.

At that time, the Heart Flayer Empire, which had suffered a great loss of strength, would inevitably shrink its strength again.

However, Matthew would not give them a chance this time.

Seeing that the second prince Krezer was in a better state, Matthew did not forget to continue:

"Build more underground bases and passages, and pay special attention to various metal veins and magic minerals."

"With the arrival of the elemental tide, their scale and quality will be further improved."

Matthew ignored the shock in Woji and the second prince Krezer's eyes, and did not care that the gray dwarves could take this opportunity to obtain more resources and development opportunities.

In the turbulent years to come, the more order forces, the better, and the stronger the better.

Looking at the dark screen, the second prince Krezer licked the corner of his mouth with joy.

After learning about the Gulf Territory's path to prosperity and understanding the strong production capacity of mechanical engineering, he knew very well how much development opportunities these minerals could bring.

On the other side, Woji thought more deeply, and after recording it with emotion, he immediately began to plan.

The gray dwarves made a lot of money by cooperating with the Gulf Territory.

Even if the Gulf Territory made more money, they were already convinced.

The second prince Krezer and Woji even thought that the reason why Matthew did not force them to join the Gulf Territory was because it was too troublesome to change the stubborn gray dwarves.

Fortunately and helpless, the two of them could only continue to cheer up and prepare for greater development opportunities.

That night.

In the major Cole elf production factories in the Kantru Mountains.

A group of shining lights, with a savage attitude, blew up the solid magic barrier.

The production factories and production lines that were in production and construction were immediately engulfed by the violent flames and fire.

Without waiting for the guards and battle mages to react.

The Cole Elf bunkers and fortresses outside were also suddenly bombarded with dense artillery fire.

The overwhelming flames almost set the entire night sky on fire, making the already scarlet moonlight even more "gorgeous".

The well-prepared Cole Elf army emerged from the fortresses and bunkers in a mighty force.

But to their surprise, the half-elves who launched the attack this time did not rescue the half-elves around the fortresses and bunkers.

They came up empty-handed!

The Cole Elf commander, whose face changed slightly, ordered the army to disperse and quickly hide in the bunkers.

At the same time, he quickly reported various information to the command center.

This was learned by the Cole Elf Kingdom from the Gulf Territory. It was just a simple imitation, but it achieved quite good results.

"If they did not attack Factory No. 13, they will definitely attack other factories..."

Without waiting for the Cole Elf commanders to continue to issue other orders.

Intensive "attack information" has been sent from various factories, fortresses and bunkers.

The battle images with continuous bursts of fire and flames occupied the large screen of the entire combat command center.

The commanders of the Cole elves can see it clearly.

The dragon tooth missiles and rockets with extremely strong destructive power have destructive power far beyond what the magic barrier can defend.

In a seemingly very simple way, they destroyed the major production factories that the Cole elves had built with great difficulty.

Looking at the production factories that were built at a huge cost, the commanders of the Cole elves felt extremely sad.

After tasting the sweetness of various magic equipment and weapons, they can never go back to the past.

But what they don’t know is that compared to the magic weapons and equipment scattered everywhere, any Cole elf village and territory can produce them.

New weapons and equipment that require a higher production threshold are easier to control and influence before the scale is expanded and the technology is not fully mastered.

If you hold these, you can suppress them more smoothly.

At least, in a short period of time, you can repeatedly destroy their development.

This is one of the serial traps that Matthew prepared for the Cole elves, and the effect looks quite good.

In the next long period of time, the offensive and defensive battles of the Kantru Mountains production factory will become more and more intense.

The manpower and material resources invested by the Cole elves here will gradually increase due to the increase in sunk costs.

The desire and demand of the combat troops for new weapons will also continue to give greater production pressure.

The Gulf Territory will also gradually provide more assistance to the half-elves, allowing them to develop in the Kantru Mountains and become a major concern for the Cole elves.

This process may be long, but it will definitely be very effective, and the effect will become better and better.

Matthew believes that the Cole elves will never let these half-elves go.

The high-ranking Cole elves can't go to the factory to work by themselves, right?

The cost of enslaving half-elves is very low, much lower than researching and producing automated production lines.

Therefore, the environment of half-elves will be better in the future, and the pressure of life and work will be much better.

But the more they do this, the more hatred the half-elves have for the Cole elves.

The contradiction between the two sides has long been irreconcilable!

If there were no half-elves rebels, the half-elves, whose strength was increasingly lagging behind the Cole elves, would be controlled by their various thoughts and education.

Now, it is completely different!

Freedom and a better life will be the light of hope in the dark years of the half-elves, allowing them to persevere and maintain their desire for freedom and the future.

Even so, Matthew is very clear.

The Cole Elf Kingdom, eager to show its strength, will inevitably start fighting and firing everywhere during the rest period in the Bay.
