Emperor of Arcane

The violent wind blew continuously.

The rare heavy rain poured down.

Faced with this rare pure water source, both the plants in the twisted jungle and the various deformed monsters temporarily put down their struggle.

They greedily devoured the water droplets in various ways.

It is very interesting that after these water droplets fell, they were swallowed by the plants and animals they came into contact with before they even had time to gather.

It was as if there were countless hungry mouths on the ground, waiting for them to fall into their mouths.

It is precisely because of this that although the entire twisted jungle is lush and full of various creatures, water resources are actually quite scarce.

Only after these creatures and plants are full, the remaining residual water droplets will fall.

Faced with such a strange scene, Matthew can clearly feel the suppression and destruction of the entire ecosystem by the twisted jungle and these deformed creatures.

It is almost unnecessary to think that the ecological environment that has been deprived of most resources and a considerable number of variable factors will be in a state of continuous circulation and restrained stagnation.

Basically, it is equivalent to being stably controlled.

However, Matthew can also clearly feel that in this situation, the stagnant state of continuous accumulation and change will inevitably lead to some terrible changes in the future.

The momentum of all things moving forward cannot be stopped by anyone.

The Twisted Jungle wants to use this method to completely control the environment of the entire Catachan demiplane, and it will inevitably suffer a corresponding backlash.

However, Matthew and the Bay Territory have no time to wait for this backlash to take effect, but instead continue to implement their plans very simply.

"Catachan adaptability adjustment of various manors and production plants..."

"Concentrated cultivation points for various special magic materials..."

"Development of special mineral veins in the Catachan plane..."

"Improvement and expansion of various weapons and equipment maintenance and production plants..."

These tasks are very important and must be solved and handled as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the Bay Territory cultivates talents very quickly, and is very skilled in arranging and executing various tasks.

With the assistance of the computing center, there are many ready-made examples and templates to learn from.

They got started very quickly, and so did the Bay Territory's advancement speed.

A steady stream of Gulf leaders came over one after another to preside over the production and development of these cities and fortresses.

The increasing number of Gulf leaders made the Catachans who were distributed there have no other thoughts.

The Gulf leaders were so powerful when there were few people, and now there are more and more people, even more than the Catachans combined, and they will definitely become stronger in the future.

In fact, even Ji Fan, the highest administrator in charge of the affairs of the Catachan demiplane, was amazed by the continuous flow of Gulf leaders.

While studying hard and practicing hard, he communicated with Tonghua and asked in disbelief:

"Have all the pioneers been sent here?"

Tonghua, who looked like a real person, smiled and shook his head, and answered very clearly in the common language:

"It is true that the number of Catachan demiplanes has been tilted, and their adaptability and combat capabilities are selected."

"However, the staff and pioneers transported to the Catachan demiplane are only 1/3 of the corresponding number."

Only 1/3?

Ji Fan, who reacted immediately, showed an ecstatic expression.

He naturally understood the meaning behind this, which represented that the number of people absorbed and trained by the Gulf Territory was further increasing.

As for the "slowly increasing" population on the surface, it should be used to confuse the enemies of the Gulf Territory.

After all, if the Gulf Territory is too strong and the population grows a lot, it will inevitably bring considerable pressure to other forces.

This is not in line with the development policy of the Gulf Territory to expose part of it, hide most of it, disperse and hide, and accumulate strength.

At present, no more than 5 people know the true number of the population of the Gulf Territory.

This must be a number that will scare everyone.

A full 31.25 million people!

This means that in the 135 years since the arrival of the elemental tide, the population growth of the Gulf Territory has exceeded 20 million.

The reason for such a big increase.

In addition to the approximately 2 million intelligent populations of other races such as gray elves, gray dwarves, halflings, and wood elves absorbed by the Gulf Territory.

It has also been expanding various ways to absorb population and improving its transportation channels and methods in various places in the north of the Gulf Territory.

And the most important point is.

Through cooperation with many lords and nobles, the Gulf Territory has increased the number of strongholds and scope of population absorption by more than 10 times.

In the past, the Gulf Territory's caravans could only absorb and recruit people in the cities where the nobles and lords were located and their surrounding areas.

Now, it is completely different!

The number of nobles and lords cooperating with the Gulf Territory has increased by four or five times.

Even some barons or lords, and even some knights with good strength, can enjoy the treatment of cooperating with the Gulf Territory.

The Gulf Territory's more subdivided tentacles can draw more nutrients from the lower layers of the northern continent.

To be more precise, it is to help these people who can't survive to change their own destiny.

By the way, it also allows these lords and nobles who may be killed by the rioting people to have longer-term happiness and peace.

Well, as long as they "obey"!

As for taking action against these nobles, or fattening the pigs before killing them, such speculations and discussions rarely appear in discussions among the managers of the Gulf Territory.

The reason is simple. The enemies in the future will become more and more terrifying, and the disasters will become more and more serious.

Even these lords and nobles have caught the express train of development with the Gulf Territory.

But more lords and nobles did not think about improving the strength and foundation of their territories. Instead, they only cared about living and enjoying themselves.

Annexing such a stupid guy will definitely reduce the strength and positive atmosphere of the Gulf Territory.

It is better to let them get a certain degree of training and test in the impact of disaster in the future, and then choose to introduce them to the Gulf Territory!

The reason why the Gulf Leader's actions were not noticed or targeted accordingly.

Not only because of the strength of the Gulf Territory itself, it is also directly related to the excellent combat effectiveness of the staff dispatched.

The deeper one goes to the bottom, the greater the increase in voice brought by strength will be.

When you get to a place, first show your wealth, then show your strength, and finally talk about the benefits, and you will basically be able to gain a firm foothold.

When absorbing the population, the Gulf Territory will replace the relative staff to ensure that the local population and workload will not decrease.

As long as the interests are not damaged, even if these lords and nobles are aware of the actions of the Gulf Territory.

For the sake of increasing profits, they will pretend not to see it.

This is an attraction plan specially designed by researchers from the Gulf Territory for the people at the bottom.

Similarly, it is also because there are quite a large number of powerful lords and nobles who are stealing the show on various battlefields throughout the northern continent.

Compared with other knowledge and technical aspects of the road to becoming a god, the intuitive impact brought by combat makes it easier to quickly accumulate popularity and improve reputation.

There is no way, for the vast majority of ordinary people, of these things they can see, only battle images have the most visual and sensory impact.

The "heroic deeds" circulated along with these battle images can also be most easily remembered by them, thus spreading even wider unknowingly.

In order to better promote themselves, many lords and nobles chose to cooperate with the Gulf Territory.

They took a fancy to the Gulf Territory's strong propaganda capabilities.

Whether it is newspapers throughout the northern continent, magic screens throughout cities, or caravans everywhere that continuously disseminate materials and information.

They were able to spread their victory to the ears of most people in just a day or two.

The various feedbacks obtained from the improvement of the progress of the method of becoming a god have shown very obvious effects.

Many lords and nobles have completed the improvement of their strength, and many have even mastered divine power and divinity.

Of course, this is inseparable from the help of the method of becoming a god, but it is also because of their profound background and extraordinary opportunities.

Even if they have not mastered divine power and divinity, they have similar items or props, or know where to get these things.

Now, the Gulf Territory provides them with a method of digestion and absorption, which is equivalent to a qualitative change from 0 to 1, and naturally develops rapidly.

Matthew looked through their information and saw many familiar names and faces.

"He is worthy of being the proud son of heaven and the darling of fate. Even without the intervention of "players", he can still rise quickly..."

"Golden scales are originally a thing in a pond. They turn into dragons when encountering storms. If given a chance, they will become more brilliant. I hope everyone can get better and better in the future."

Matthew sighed while calmly writing down various information.

A turbulent and important 135 years is about to pass.

The following years will also be more dangerous and brilliant.

He turned around, faced the busy Aini, and directly made arrangements and said:

"Take the new generation Yaya No. 1 and the miniaturized element fusion engine and head to the Brave Continent."

Aini, who reacted immediately, tried hard to recall the information and intelligence of the Brave Continent. She looked at the busy volcano fortress with some reluctance, nodded without hesitation and said:

"No problem, leave it to me."

Matthew's move to transfer Aini did not attract any attention.

Because the battle in the Catachan plane never means to stop.

Whether they are newly built cities and fortresses in the Gulf Territory or already established control areas, they will all be attacked by twisted monsters.

The difference lies in the strength and number of monsters.

There are battles and various tasks for these adventurers and Gulf Territory staff to hone their skills.

A variety of different missions and combat methods can further enhance their strength and capabilities.

Matthew and Fairy Tale even arranged some drills for emergencies.

Through various practical training methods, they can test and hone their abilities.

135 years.

December 20th.

The continent of braves.

The huge steel battleship slowly stopped.

The huge tower crane is busy loading and unloading large-scale materials.

Looking at Elio who was very welcoming, Aini breathed a sigh of relief and introduced to her the El Elf Dragon Warrior troops she had brought.

Even though he had not undergone transformation into a dragon warrior, Elio had already broken through to the legendary level and exuded an amazing sense of oppression, which really gave them a big surprise.

Elliot, who knew what they were thinking, smiled and shrugged his shoulders, saying in a rogue tone:

"The enemies here are too enthusiastic and have given me too many opportunities to grow."

This is just for fun, and Annie will not take it seriously. She handed over the watch that Matthew entrusted to her and asked softly:

"What kind of enemy? Where? We are happy to start fighting."

After taking the magic watch, Elliot showed a little joy on his face. While greeting them to enter the city, he introduced them to them:

"Ordinary enemies are dealt with by adventurers and guards."

"But now, a different enemy has appeared in the Brave Continent - the devil!"

Demon?

A strange word that obviously feels a huge threat!

Noticing that everyone was looking over, Elliot sent the confidential battle video of the fourth level of the Bay Territory to the magic watches of Annie and the dragon warriors.

They curiously clicked it and immediately saw large groups of terrifying figures.

That is the devil!

He has two horns on his head and two wings on his back.

Human face and sheep's hooves, malicious and awe-inspiring.

Demons are big and small.

The big ones are five or six meters tall, with sturdy muscles all over their bodies, wearing gray-black heavy armor, showing extremely terrible destructive power.

The small ones are amazing in number, can fly and are flexible, and are good at using fireballs, weakness, flame rays and other spells.

There are many kinds of demons.

In just a few dozen seconds of battle footage, 17 or 18 kinds of demons appeared.

There are berserker demons with burly bodies and strong physiques, who serve as the backbone of the battlefield.

There are six-armed snake demons with six arms and six knives, which can be used as blade storms.

There are insect-shaped demons with huge bodies and heavy shells, like giant worms.

There are also hunting demons with human heads and spider bodies, strange and difficult seducing demons, hideous and terrifying judgment demons and other monsters that are different from ordinary demons.

Moreover, their vitality is quite tenacious. Unless their energy core is hit and their material plane bodies collapse, they can still continue to fight.

Facing such enemies, Annie immediately judged that ordinary combat troops are not their opponents at all.

The magic images that have been analyzed intensively record the attributes, skills, specialties, and combat power of many demons.

The average challenge level of the demon army is as high as 12+!

The average combat power generally reaches more than 200 points!

The corresponding professionals are at least elite.

It is obvious that these demons that invaded the Brave Continent have gone through countless rounds of selection!

They are not only the strongest, but also the most dangerous.

If it were in the past, Annie would definitely wonder if she or her troops could beat them.

Now, she also thought that other forces would definitely not have an easy time in the Brave Continent.

Especially the Kingdom of Cole Elf! (End of this chapter)
