Emperor of Arcane

The Gulf leader army, which had captured the outer fortress, did not stop its advance, but continued to move forward.

They were still moving quickly, and could even rush to the next battlefield before the Mind Flayers could react.

When the Mind Flayers' troops, fortresses, and strongholds were attacked.

Facing the torrential bombardment and the indestructible steel torrent, they could hardly resist effectively.

The slave warriors fell quickly, and the Mind Flayers could not hold on for long, and could only flee desperately.

But they often could not escape far, and would be killed by the assault team behind them.

Some legendary Mind Flayers, facing the dragon warrior team that rushed over to fight, also released terrifying legendary mind magic to try to deal with them.

But the well-prepared dragon warriors all activated the mind spell protection barrier, used various protection scrolls, and trained the mind protection skills in advance.

Even if they were directly hit by the legendary mind spell, they would not be seriously injured.

With their strong recovery ability, they can recover in a few minutes and continue to fight.

The entire battle process was very fast, and as the combat team members became more skilled, it went faster and faster.

The Bay Lord advanced rapidly along the way, occupying one city and fortress after another of the Mind Flayers.

In just half a day, 30 cities and fortresses were captured, almost cutting off half of the Mind Flayers' retreat.

Seeing that the first phase of the battle objectives had been achieved, and the battle plan was being implemented very smoothly.

Angela quickly made subsequent deployments and adjustments:

"Sera led the team to advance to the rear, Jifan led the team to block the retreat of the Mind Flayers, and Alice led the team to continue the attack and connect the defense line with the Gray Elf Fortress."

"In addition, notify the gray dwarf forces and let them prepare to block the Mind Flayers' support troops."

"There is no need to fight hard, just destroy their path of advancement..."

After making a simple arrangement, Angela began to continue to pay attention to the advancement of the troops.

After understanding the slave army controlled by the Mind Flayers and understanding their social structure and system.

Angela already knew clearly that the opponent's current military strength was not a match for the Bay Lord's army.

This is not a gap in numbers, but a huge difference in system, technology, cooperation, and technological development.

The existence of the Mind Flayers is quite primitive.

With their current size, they are completely unable to promote the continued development of civilization and system.

The speed of civilization development in the Gulf Territory far exceeds that of the other party.

As Angela expected, even as time goes by.

The Mind Flayer Empire has already noticed the attack of the Gulf Territory and decisively sent out multiple troops to try to retake the fortresses and cities controlled by the Gulf Territory.

However, the various troops they sent out will be attacked by various long-range bombings before they reach the combat area.

Often, they have suffered heavy losses before they have gone far.

The Mind Flayers, who are very afraid of death, are very cautious in the face of the ambush and raid of the Gulf Territory and the bombing of various rockets.

They often use various means to explore, and will continue to move forward after they have explored other people's information and data to confirm that they can beat them.

If no information is found, they will continue to repeat this process.

But they will not repeat it all the time. If there is no information for three or four times, they will choose to retreat without hesitation.

In the eyes of the Mind Flayers, if the other party can block the information, there may be a terrifying trap ahead that can kill them.

The Mind Flayers who want to live longer are extremely cautious and patient in preserving their lives.

In the face of these guys' retreat, the Gulf Territory combat troops will naturally pursue them.

They will firmly pin down the other party and create more casualties when the other party retreats.

Even if the other party is brave enough to cut off their arms and prepare to preserve more combat forces, they will continue to be entangled by the Gulf Territory combat troops.

Even if they cannot be completely eliminated, their intentions and ideas to go to other areas must be destroyed.

Those who accept this kind of combat mission are often adventurers who follow the Gulf Territory army.

They are very skilled in this regard and have very rich combat experience. They can not only protect themselves well, but also complete the task smoothly.

Under their endless harassment, the Mind Flayer Empire had to send more and more reinforcements to support the fortresses captured by the Gulf Territory.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the adventurers of the Gulf Territory.

They are not ordinary small-scale harassment adventurers.

They have combat power and weapons and equipment that are no less than the regular army of the Gulf Territory.

Moreover, their fighting style is more flexible and varied.

Dig out various traps.

There are mines buried in the ground.

Weight-triggered underground bombs.

Quantity counting induction bombs.

Remote launch and bombing bombs.

Induction directional blasting bombs, when the Mind Flayer army passes through the narrow passage, they can be quickly activated to collapse the passage.

When there were fewer adventurers at the beginning, they used more means.

When a steady stream of adventurers were sent to these areas.

They used fewer means.

Because they tried to kill more slave warriors in direct combat.

Faced with the provocation of the adventurers, the growing number of Mind Flayers did not have the slightest idea of ​​retreating, and could not wait to come up hard.

The two sides fought relatively fierce battles in various areas.

Thanks to the crushing of various weapons and equipment, even though the number of adventurers in the Bay Territory was small, they still gained a very big advantage.

They rarely suffered damage, unless they were greedy and did not break out in time after being besieged by the enemy.

Or they were very unlucky and ran into the legendary Mind Flayer in person when they advanced rashly.

The advancement and support of the Mind Flayer army were forced to stop!

The Mind Flayer Empire realized the strength of the Bay Territory and began to quickly assemble troops.

At the same time, it also issued a warning to the Mind Flayer army that was fighting.

By the time the Mind Flayer army reacted, the three-way advancing Gulf Territory combat troops had blocked their retreat.

It was not until this time that the advancing Mind Flayer army realized how powerful it was and decisively chose to retreat.

The Mind Flayer army tried to take advantage of the fact that the Gulf Territory was not yet stable and catch them off guard, recapture the captured city, and tear open the blockade of defense.

Unfortunately, they ran into the dragon warriors.

The dragon warriors, who had obtained the new magic combat armor, were preparing to find a suitable opponent to test their new weapons and equipment.

Facing the attack of the Mind Flayer army, they only fired a few rounds of rocket bombing and launched a counter-charge.

The dragon warriors, wrapped in thunder, were 2.7 meters tall and even more burly than the ogres.

And the dragon warriors were extremely fast. They had activated their perfect bodies and could carry a stronger burst of power.

In the left hand, they held the sword of destruction that could split lightly armed, and in the right hand, they held the chain-toothed giant sword that could easily tear apart heavily armed enemies.

The two swords were just waving continuously, and they could easily cut almost all slave warriors in half.

The slave warriors were completely unable to stop their advancement.

They were even left behind because they were too slow and could not keep up with their killing pace.

They treaded on the bloody road they left in vain, and "luckily" launched a pursuit.

The reason why these slave warriors are lucky!

Mainly because, after the dragon warriors killed the Mind Flayer, they could basically get rid of control.

Although many of them have been mentally damaged, most of them can still barely recover some thinking ability.

If they are lucky enough, after joining the Gulf Territory, they can barely recover their sanity in the subsequent strength improvement.

However, the mind flayers in the team will be in big trouble.

They are the targets hunted by the dragon warriors, and the Gulf Territory does not need ordinary mind flayer captives this time.

Even if it is a legendary mind flayer with great experimental value, the Gulf Territory’s combat principle is to consider the issue of prisoners only when it is absolutely safe.

Therefore, the first few mind flayer troops that launched anti-encirclement operations were directly defeated by the dragon warrior army.

Even if the number of dragon warriors in each city is only 200.

But the terrible lethality brought by these 200 people can easily destroy most of the mind flayer army.

These dragon warriors even complained a little, thinking that the reaction speed of the mind flayer army was too slow and needed to be faster.

The increasing number of mind flayer armies began to turn around and attack the Gulf Territory.

Unfortunately, although there are many of them, only a few of them can launch attacks at the same time.

And the strength of these Mind Flayer troops is not enough, and they cannot rely on hard power to break through the defense of the fortress after the Bay Territory has strengthened and transformed.

Therefore, the millions of Mind Flayer troops were blocked by the Bay Territory.

Even if a part of the Mind Flayer troops tried to bypass the radiation range of the city and rushed into the passage next to it under various attacks.

They would also hit the second, third, fourth and even more layers of defense.

In the rapid consumption of layers, the slave warriors of these Mind Flayer troops died quickly, and soon only a few hundred or thousands were left.

In this case, the Mind Flayers, who had nowhere to escape, soon became the prey of the Bay Territory's assault troops.

The Mind Flayers without the protection of large-scale troops are like meat on a chopping board, which can be slaughtered very easily.

Seeing that the first few batches of Mind Flayer troops rushed to the defense line and never returned, the remaining Mind Flayer troops did not continue to be stubborn.

In order to prevent themselves from being surrounded, they quickly retreated and returned to the familiar battlefield area.

There, they still have at least 20 cities to rely on.

They hope to rely on the defense of the city fortress to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements.

But the besieged Mind Flayer army never expected that.

The Gulf Territory army, which has mobilized heavy troops, has completely blocked their retreat.

The reinforcements they have placed high hopes on were also beaten by various long-range artillery and Gulf Territory adventurers.

The powerful advantage of attack distance was fully demonstrated in this narrow and dark space.

Even if the Mind Flayer army paid a huge price, it could not move forward under the intensive firepower offensive.

The huge battle consumption made the adventurers happy and distressed.

They knew very well that the method of killing the enemy with rockets was almost impossible to recover the cost, but instead had to pay a lot of money.

But the amazing casualties caused by this could bring them considerable achievements.

The longer the adventurers stayed in the Gulf Territory, the clearer they were.

Gold coins are just a tool for the Gulf Territory to maintain its operation, and merits can help them get anything they want.

If it is just an ordinary battle or mission adventure, the accumulation of merits often gives them a headache.

Only by assisting in this kind of indicative mission can they rely on killing a large number of enemies to gain a large number of merits.

Basically, it is equivalent to using gold coins and resources in exchange for more merits and combat experience.

They know very well that this will be a good deal!

With the efforts of the various combat forces of the Gulf Territory, both the besieged Mind Flayer army and the Mind Flayer troops coming to support them have suffered a fierce blow.

Not only did the slave warriors suffer huge losses, but even the number of Mind Flayers continued to decrease.

The Gulf Territory's actions immediately changed the situation in the underground world.

Their sudden appearance naturally aroused the interest and attention of the surrounding forces.

Many forces are clearly vigilant about the sudden appearance of the Gulf Territory.

The reason is very simple. The powerful and large Mind Flayer army is so vulnerable in front of the Gulf Territory combat forces. How can this not make them feel vigilant?

Today is different from the past.

The Gulf Lords, whose strength has been greatly improved, have been too lazy to pay attention to the suspicion and vigilant eyes of various forces.

They focus on their own goals and tighten the encirclement of the Mind Flayer army bit by bit.

The Grey Elf Azshara tribe, which has always been very quiet and has not shown too strong a desire for expansion, also took action under the watchful eyes of many drow elves.

They were surprised and relieved to find that the combat methods of the Grey Elf combat troops were exactly the same as those of the Gulf Lords.

They had long guessed the relationship between the Grey Elves and the Gulf Lords, but there was no clear evidence.

Now that the truth is out, they feel a little fear.

From the battle between the Gulf Lords combat troops and the Mind Flayer army, most of the drow elves' nobles and grandmothers can see that the Gulf Lords have gained an absolute advantage.

They were suppressed by the Mind Flayer army, and they would inevitably be even more miserable when facing the Gulf Lords army.

Unspeakable panic spread among the drow elves' cities.

They feared the Gulf Lords, and also the Gray Elves, but they wanted to get more information, so they often watched from afar on the periphery of the battlefield.

They saw the overwhelming rockets.

They saw the advancement of steel vehicles.

They saw the artillery bombardment one after another.

They saw the Gulf Lords warriors wearing metal combat armor.

They saw the bolters and light and heavy machine guns with extremely long range, great lethality, and particularly amazing attack speed.

They also saw the magic army formation that withstood the legendary spells without being destroyed.

Completely different combat methods, shocking and incomprehensible battle process.

Let the drow elves see the Gulf Lords' annihilation battle against the Mind Flayer army in fear.

The Mind Flayer army, which was large in number and protected by city walls, did not hold out in the fierce battle.

The city walls were destroyed.

The slave army was bombed into chaos.

The defense line was torn apart.

All kinds of struggles were futile.

Every time the Gulf Lords' army occupied a city.

They will be repaired and strengthened immediately, equipped with various long-range artillery and weapons and equipment.

The strong defensive ability made the drow elves who were watching the battle lose all desire to attack immediately after just one look.

Then, they lost the opportunity to continue to observe the advance of the Gulf Lord's army.

Because the encirclement of the Gulf Lord's army was getting tighter and tighter.

The Mind Flayer army, sensing the bad situation, tried to avoid the main force of the Gulf Lord's army and rush out of the battlefield where they were fighting with the drow elves.

They would rather fight with the drow elves than have any contact with the Gulf Lord.

In this case, the drow elves did not find anything unusual at all.

Because the Gulf Lord had completely surrounded the Mind Flayer army and blocked their routes in all directions.

What followed was a neat and tidy encirclement and annihilation operation.

The number of slave warriors in the Mind Flayer army was reduced, and when they could no longer pose a threat to the dragon warriors, the Mind Flayers controlling the troops would be quickly killed.

Every time a Mind Flayer was killed, the Gulf Lord could gather a large number of slave warriors.

Most of them, although their brains are broken, are still alive.

The Gulf Territory will provide them with suitable positions and jobs for their survival, so that they can spend the most comfortable time in their lives.

As for their contributions, they may provide more intelligent creatures to the Gulf Territory without knowing it, which can be regarded as their own contribution to the development of the territory.

The Gulf Territory's army is not advancing very fast, but it is very efficient.

Occupy a place, you can firmly control it.

Eliminate a Mind Flayer army, you can completely clear it out of the battlefield.

The number of Mind Flayer armies is decreasing rapidly, and so is the number of Mind Flayers.

The very large Mind Flayer army was dismembered bit by bit by the Gulf Territory, and did not show any resistance.

The Gulf Territory cleared out this Mind Flayer army that had caused unrest in the underground world for a long time, just like clearing out the Kobolds.

When the battle was completely over, the Gulf Territory army began to move to the surrounding cities.

Only five days had passed.

The drow elves who had been squatting on the periphery of the battlefield had no news about the battle.

It was only when Thra specially notified them and told them that the battle was over that they suddenly realized it.

"Is it really over?"

"It's impossible. Even if there are millions of pigs, they can't be cleaned up so quickly, right?"

"Maybe in the eyes of the Gulf Lord, millions of pigs are more difficult to clean up than the army of mind flayers."

"That's right. For the Gulf Lord, millions of pigs are a very useful wealth and need to be dealt with properly."

"The combat effectiveness of the Gulf Lord's army is really terrible."

"So many magic combat armors, and their quality is very high. How are they produced?"

"It can't be that every person in the Gulf Lord is a forging master?"

"Even the former Dwarf Empire would probably take hundreds of years, and it would take a lot of effort. All costs are required to create it. "

"Have you not paid attention to the news on the surface? The names of the Lord of the Gulf Territory and the True Dragon Fang have been well-known in recent years."

"Yes, even the Kingdom of Cole Elf has suffered a lot at the hands of the Gulf Territory."

"If nothing unexpected happens, both the dwarves and the gray dwarves are now dependent on the Gulf Territory..."

"And these gray elves, they are also the same..."

"Speaking of these gray elves, how do they have such strong strength?"

"I heard it is a kind of transformation surgery..."

"..."

The drow elves kept discussing, but still did not discuss how to treat the Gulf Territory and the gray elves in the future.

They are now a little confused and a little at a loss.

However, Sera soon gave them some surprises.

She showed the magical image of the Gulf Territory clearing the army of mind flayers without reservation.

Especially when the drow elves saw it.

Several legendary mind flayers rarely united to escape.

But they were directly fixed by Matthew who fell from the sky, walked over lightly, and chopped off their heads with a sword.

The whole process was very peaceful, and the legendary mind flayers didn't even put up a decent resistance.

Their hideous and twisted heads just fell off casually.

Matthew waved his hand again, taking away all their bodies, leaving only twisted bloodstains.

Facing Matthew's calm and frightening eyes, the drow elves watching the magic image subconsciously turned their heads away, not daring to look him in the eye.

The Gulf Lord, who had completed the annihilation war, quickly cleaned up the battlefield and wanted to further strengthen and upgrade the occupied cities and fortresses.

The adventurers who had made great efforts could now retreat temporarily and conduct more detailed exploration and cleaning of the areas occupied by the Gulf Lord's army.

Such tasks often come with rich rewards.

Once the lucky adventurers find some large resource points or rare metal veins.

They can immediately achieve wealth freedom and focus on improving their strength step by step.

The Gulf Lord is never stingy in this regard, and sincerely hopes that everyone will make more and more money.

The more everyone earns, the more the Bay Territory will get, and everyone will have a better future.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The surging wind came from the gloomy cave.

The surging spiritual power fluctuations, in the continuous collisions, almost condensed into substance.

The fierce knife from the Bay Territory made the Mind Flayer Empire feel extremely painful.

They never thought that the Bay Territory, who had no contact with them at all, would kill them.

Why is this?

The Mind Flayers don't understand!

But the Kor Elf Shadow Council troops, who were heading to the depths of the Mind Flayer Empire, learned about this situation by chance.

They understood it very well, but they felt more and more headache and helpless about the Bay Territory's ability to attack everywhere and win every battle.

After learning more about the great achievements of the Gulf Territory, the leader, Carrie, suddenly had a rather strange idea in her mind:

"Perhaps, even if the Netheril Empire is destroyed, the Gulf Territory will not be affected at all..."

"Perhaps, after obtaining the legacy of the Netheril Empire, the Gulf Territory will become even stronger..."

Carrie had a vague premonition of this, but she thought the idea was absurd.

She looked at the huge ruins getting closer and closer, and her expression became more and more solemn.

We have arrived at the cemetery of civilization! (End of this chapter)
