Emperor of Arcane

"The heavenly soldiers are worthy of being heavenly soldiers. They came down from the sky and helped Pearl Harbor resist the invasion of the Naga fishmen!"

"The battle was very quick. More than 300,000 Nagas and fishmen were quickly killed in just two hours."

"Several legendary spellcasters took action, and various legendary spells directly cleared a large area."

"That scene was simply too spectacular!"

"The Cole elves also mastered long-range artillery and weapons. I heard that the lethality is stronger than that of the Gulf Territory!"

"I have said that the Cole elves have mastered artillery technology, right? You just don't believe it. Now I can prove it, right?"

"You're right. Spells combined with various weapons and equipment are the best. The Gulf Territory still has a long way to go!"

"Maybe the technology of the Gulf Territory was stolen from the Kingdom of the Cole Elf."

"I think that should be the case. The technical background of the Cole Elf Kingdom is absolutely beyond doubt!"

"The Gulf Territory doesn't have much background. There aren't many spellcasters and battle mages, so it has to find another way!"

"I think so too. The Gulf Territory doesn't have much confidence, so it looks for allies everywhere!"

"..."

All kinds of discussions are full of praise for the Cole Elf Kingdom.

In the words, they unconsciously carry contempt for the Gulf Territory and other human kingdoms and forces.

Others have long been accustomed to these "filial sons and grandsons" of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

If it were in the past, they would have mocked these idiots who like to praise the Cole Elf Kingdom.

"Why don't you live in the Kingdom of the Kor Elves?"

"Is it because they don't want you?"

"After you've blown up the Kor Elves like this, will they give you a few more copper coins?"

"If you like blowing up the Kor Elves so much, why haven't they saved you from the sea of ​​suffering? Is it because they look down on you?"

"..."

Often at this time, other people around will also speak up.

Everyone likes to see them blushing after being ridiculed, but they can't defend themselves, so they can only bite the bullet and say something:

"I just don't have the opportunity, otherwise I would have gone to live in the Kingdom of Kor Elf like so-and-so, which is the real paradise!"

"The Kingdom of Kor Elf is good, and it has mastered various production technologies and means. You people should reflect on why you can't do it here?"

"Don't be like the Bay Territory, who is complacent and arrogant after having some achievements."

"If you ask me, the Kingdom of Kor Elf is the right way, and they are powerful."

"The air in the Kingdom of Kor Elf is much sweeter than other places, and it is full of birdsong and flowers..."

"..."

Faced with these guys' unreasonable arguments, others will also seize their various "pain points" and refute them simply and directly.

When they are unreasonable and want to make a fuss, everyone can't help but laugh out loud.

However, now everyone is not waiting for this happy air, and simply glanced at the battle intelligence about the Kingdom of Kor Elf, and chose to ignore it without hesitation.

More people are silently flipping through the various information in the newspapers of the Gulf Territory.

Why is this so?

Because they can often find some practical technology and information from the newspapers of the Gulf Territory.

Many people have learned to analyze and extract from them, find valuable things, and seek a lot of benefits and welfare.

Some people even get inspiration and inspiration from them and embark on the road to wealth before everyone else.

Many people are trying hard to look through them, trying to find news about cooperation and investment in nearby territories from the Gulf Territory.

These visible and tangible benefits are what they care about and care about the most.

As for those idiots outside, they hope that the other party will continue to be stupid so as not to compete with them.

Compared with the past, the Cole Elf Kingdom can trigger a lot of discussion by just showing off its skills.

Now the discussion environment in the northern continent has changed dramatically without knowing it.

This hand shown by the Cole Elf Kingdom has appeared many times in many battles between forces.

Although their performance is not as exaggerated as that of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

But it is also quite good, at least they have defended smoothly.

The performance of the Kingdom of Cole Elf, as before, far surpassed other territories and forces, giving everyone an unprecedented shock.

Without this highlight filter, some well-informed nobles and elites will have another idea.

"So that's all the Cole elves are like?"

"I thought they would use some weapons and equipment?"

"If that's all, then the Cole elves have no trump cards..."

"The power of these weapons and equipment is only a little stronger than that of ordinary lords and forces, and it's not as strong as they say."

"Most of them are light artillery, and heavy artillery and stronger howitzers seem to be rare..."

"Ordinary soldiers are still the same as before. Although they are wearing enchanted equipment and weapons, their attack methods can still be called primitive..."

"It's really like what the Bay Lord said. For some forces and territories, the ship is too big, but it's hard to turn around."

"..."

The more they come into contact with the Gulf Territory, the freer and more independent their thoughts will become.

They can look at various things and phenomena from a more fundamental level.

Take the Cole Elf Kingdom's move this time, for example. On the surface, it is to show its strength and re-establish its reputation as the overlord of the northern continent.

However, the other party's real purpose may be to test the effects of various new weapons and the subsequent large-scale transformation of the army.

If it were in the past, they would at least feel fear and panic about the possible big move of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

But now, they have more ideas.

As discussed in the various management and research meetings on territory development held by the Gulf Territory for them.

"The Kingdom of Cole Elf is a typical kingdom where the upper class determines the system and structure of the lower class."

"When they can achieve fair, open and equitable development and guidance, the development speed will become very fast and the cohesion will be stronger than expected."

"However, once the ideas of the upper class diverge from those of the lower class and the masses, and the two sides begin to pursue different interests, or the upper class intentionally or unintentionally ignores the voice and development of the lower class, they will fall into a vicious circle of self-consumption."

"The upper class will take the initiative to curb the development of the lower class, which occupies the majority, or guide them into a state of opposition, consumption, self-satisfaction, division or separation."

"Then through the use of force and the monopoly of resources or knowledge, the upper class can smoothly control the lower class."

"Engineering machinery, magic "They can greatly enhance the importance and power of the lower-class people, but they will occupy a lot of resources." "Once it develops, it is a hungry monster with great potential. It will swallow up a lot of resources and influence." "But its growth has different degrees of weakening for the upper-level individual units." "When the power of the first-level individual gods is displayed, ordinary people can use various tools to replicate it, which will inevitably shake their "rule"!" "Therefore, the gods who are not necessarily omniscient and omnipotent can still see the threat to "them" from the development of these technologies. "Corresponding to the current actions of the Kingdom of Cole Elf. They will understand a simple but plain truth. The stronger the army, the more resources it needs and the greater the power it controls. The lords will be afraid of it and will use various means to control or suppress it. The gods with stronger control ability and higher power will inevitably reject it instinctively. Even if they don't reject it. The thirst for resources in this aspect of development will also be huge and astonishing.

There will always be the current vested interest class who will reject such practices or obstruct them.

As for why the other party does not develop together?

The interest class understands the interest class!

Why work so hard when you can make easy money by monopolizing?

However, they are all very curious about where the next target of the Kingdom of Cole Elf will be?

Continue to clean up the Naga and fishmen in the coastal cities?

Completely eliminate the Flesh and Blood King Court that is suspected of causing the "Plague Disaster"?

Or prepare to attack the Bay Territory that is resting?

If it is the former two, they will be very interested in participating in it.

Put aside the spoils of war.

If they can get the production orders needed for the battle of the Kingdom of Cole Elf, they will definitely be able to eat well.

It's nothing more than giving some kickbacks to the person in charge of the Kingdom of Cole Elf. They are already familiar with such situations.

If they can't bribe the staff of the Bay Territory, can they still bribe these elves who play very flowery?

As for their vague hostility and vigilance towards the Kingdom of Cole Elf, they can be put aside for the time being.

Making money and eating, it's not a big deal!

If it was the latter, I believe that the Gulf Territory had been prepared and had been waiting for the Kor Elf Kingdom to show its hand.

However, this situation did not happen in the end.

The Kor Elf Kingdom, which had obtained more information and suffered a beating, knew better than them how strong the Gulf Territory's army was.

In the past, the Gulf Territory had fewer soldiers, which was already troublesome enough.

Now, the number of troops in the Gulf Territory is unknown!

How dare they act rashly?

However, they did find the next target - the orcs who worked every time!

The edge of the Savage Plateau.

The Blood Fortress of the Netheril Empire.

The defense zone of the Blood Castle of the Gulf Territory.

Lush and green grass rarely grows on the dry and barren land.

All creatures living in this area seize the opportunity to come out to forage, reproduce, and grow.

In just one summer.

The number of herbivores in the Savage Plateau will increase several times.

It is precisely because their reproductive capacity is so amazing.

Only in this way can the carnivores in the Savage Plateau survive and reproduce.

Although the number of them is not the largest, they are definitely the strongest carnivores, of course, the orcs who live here.

Matthew visited the newly expanded Bloody Castle, browsed its various areas, looked at the busy adventurers, and continued to explain to Lianna:

"According to some hidden information, as well as the records of the Eastern Empire and the Goblin Empire, the Orc Empire came from tens of thousands of years ago, earlier than the elves."

"They were once all over the material plane, but because of their brutality and wanton plunder, they were besieged by almost all intelligent creatures."

"Most of the territory they occupied was taken back by many intelligent creatures."

"For example, the southern part of the northern continent, such as the Karl Plain, the western part of the Dark Forest, most of the territory of the Kingdom of Kor Elf, and a large area in the east were once controlled by orcs."

"Orcs are a race that will not progress forward and have always been addicted to blood and barbarism."

"This is why many intelligent creatures cannot tolerate their existence."

"The past wars hide many secrets, including records about the orc gods."

"However, judging from the previous records of the awakening of the orc god Ugsh."

"The orcs should be constantly recovering their strength. I believe that it will not be long before their strength will usher in a leap forward."

The thing that interests Matthew most is the "trust" of the Kingdom of Kor Elf in the orcs.

The other side put this hand on the orcs, and seemed to be sure that they could break through the defense line of the Netheril Empire and enter the territory of other human kingdoms.

Lianna, who knew the Kor elves very well, made a very bold guess:

"Either the Kor Elf Kingdom gave support and prepared to use various internal forces..."

"Or the Kor Elf Kingdom knew the true strength of the orcs, and maybe they were involved..."

As for the importance and clear understanding of the Kor Elf Kingdom, it is a compulsory course for all Gulf Territory managers.

They must understand who the real enemy of the Gulf Territory is and how to continue to be vigilant.

Only when the thinking is clear in the general direction can things not go astray.

Just at this time.

Billowing black smoke rose from a distance.

The corresponding magic images appeared on the big screens in various parts of the Blood Castle.

The loud speakers scattered all over the streets immediately issued a notice that resounded throughout the city:

"A large number of orcs were found at the 46th outpost, located in the third section of the blocking defense line."

"All areas of the Blood Castle immediately enter an emergency combat state. Please ask the corresponding combat personnel to accept and deploy combat missions."

The relatively lively Blood Castle immediately boiled up.

The vast majority of adventurers immediately put down their tasks at hand, or quickly concluded them, and hurried to the corresponding emergency preparation areas.

Matthew could clearly see that there were many adventurers, but their actions were not panic and seemed to be in order.

These adventurers were well trained, and the managers and commanders stationed here in the Bay Territory had obviously worked hard.

The light of the teleportation array lit up.

The rapid support force has gone to the 46th outpost and the surrounding areas for support and deployment.

The golem train started.

Combat supplies and follow-up support forces will quickly arrive at the combat area as a reserve force.

The golem armed truck drove out of the city.

The flexible and mobile combat force will patrol and inspect the overall defense line.

Once the enemy or danger is discovered, they will be quickly attacked and dealt with.

The production factories and agricultural production areas in semi-working state also decisively worked at full capacity and quickly entered the production state.

Various materials, even if stored in large quantities, are far from enough during the period of war.

The various responses and arrangements of the Blood Castle were quite good.

When Matthew and Lianna rushed to the command center, the managers and commanders were discussing wartime.

Matthew did not intervene, but carefully looked through the information about the arrival of the orcs.

Lianna looked at the pictures that kept passing by and noticed that a large number of gray-black orcs appeared on the lush grassland.

The camera quickly zoomed in, and various data and programs kept running to analyze and record the situation of these orcs.

In just seven or eight minutes.

The basic situation of the dense orc army has been counted.

"Kobold slaves: 123700."

"Gnoll slave warriors: 44673."

"Troll slave warriors: 37215."

"Ogre slave warriors: 5742."

"Orc laborers: 463275."

"Ordinary orc warriors: 126472."

"Orc wolf riders: 42755."

"Orc elite warriors: 37235."

"Orc warriors: 5751."

"Orc bat riders: 3921."

"Orc kodo riders: 2314 . "

"Orc Swordmaster: 891."

"Orc Warlord: 372."

"Orc Commander: 3."

"A total of 894,299 enemies were found, and the first-level combat readiness was activated."

"In addition, a large amount of magic fluctuations were detected in the weapons and equipment of the orc army, most of which were magic equipment."

"According to normal combat simulation, 23,125 more shells and 3,721 rockets need to be produced to completely destroy the enemy..."

"..."

Various data displays appeared on the magic screen.

The commanders of the Gulf Territory were very familiar with its display, and as for the production opinions it gave, they chose to ignore them.

The reason is simple, fighting like this is "too expensive".

Moreover, it is impossible for the participants to get sufficient training.

Whether it is the adventurers who are participating in the battle or the warriors who are preparing for actual combat baptism, they need to fight the orcs with real swords and guns.

The Gulf Territory has strengthened the production and research and development of long-range weapons, but it does not mean that all close combat training will be abandoned.

The Gulf Territory has encountered more and more enemies, and the enemy's combat methods are becoming more and more bizarre.

Even the orcs in front of them have shown their special features.

"Take these orcs for example, they grow very fast."

"As long as we can't kill all these orcs, as long as a small part of them escape."

"Then their reaction and judgment in the next war will become faster and faster."

"Even when facing the bombing of long-range attacks, their defense capabilities after surviving are constantly improving."

While explaining this, the commanders of the Gulf Territory played various images and analyzed their characteristics one by one.

After experiencing hundreds of cycles of injury, recovery, and fighting, some experimental subjects captured by orcs showed extremely amazing long-range weapon protection capabilities.

"From the perspective of attack effects, armor-piercing shells and explosive shells with high-level destructive power have been offset by more than 75%!"

"Artillery and rockets with ranged lethality can offset more than 85% of the damage."

"Although the ultimate individuals produced by such experiments have almost unreplicable characteristics."

"But it is enough to infer that the orc army, which is larger in number and larger in scale, must also have similar characteristics."

"The orc army must be completely eliminated..."

The commanders made certain adjustments and improvements based on the plans and tactics that had been set long ago.

Matthew took a simple look, nodded with satisfaction, and left with Lianna, preparing to go to the military factory.

All the way, Lianna was thinking about the "attributes" of the orcs, and felt very incredible about their peculiarities.

She compared their situation with other forces and found a more interesting point.

Compared with the distorted pollution, the "symptoms" of the orcs are much lighter.

At least they still retain consciousness and have relatively independent thinking, but most of them cannot control themselves.

And contrary to the distortion pollution, the stronger the orcs are, the more sober they are, as if they can get rid of its influence.

Such a strange situation makes Lianna a little unpredictable.

Fortunately, the different production factory immediately attracted Lianna's attention.

An astonishing number of mechanical beasts replaced the various golems commonly seen in the Bay Territory.

These mechanical beasts are almost the same size as various golems, but they are more flexible and relatively light in movement.

However, their work efficiency is also very high, and they undertake a considerable part of the work of manpower.

She looked at the Mohist disciples in white robes, and saw that they were preparing to fight, and a flash of realization flashed in her eyes.

The reason why this place is called a training ground by the territory.

Because the combat intensity here is not high, but it lasts for a long time and is large in scale.

Not only can soldiers of various levels be sent here for actual combat training.

All kinds of weapons and equipment can also be sent here for actual combat testing.

The strength of the orcs may become stronger and stronger.

The Bay Territory will deliberately control the growth rate and number of their strength.

Once there are signs of losing control, they will be mobilized as a whole like now.

She looked at the numerous modified mechanical beasts that were sent out continuously, as if she had seen the end of the orcs being annihilated.

Matthew, who took her for a walk, said quite straightforwardly:

"Although the orcs are about to start a big move, we can't be led by them."

Realizing the key to the problem, Lianna looked at the orc army getting closer and closer on the big screen, nodded and replied:

"I understand, the Cole Elf Kingdom is the core, and strangling them is the hard truth."

Nodding with satisfaction, Matthew continued to say to Lianna:

"That's right, since you have thought it through, let's do it."

"Take over the rest of the Dark Forest and let our control area border other elven kingdoms..."

"The elven kingdoms are not capable enough, but their heritage is very long, and they have always liked our products..."

"How can we only let the Cole Elf Kingdom make trouble around us?"

It's not polite to come without returning the favor! (End of this chapter)
