Emperor of Arcane

The increasing number of Gulf Territory warriors have different destinations.

In addition to improving their own combat effectiveness, they also have to learn how to command combat puppets.

Some elite soldiers even have to learn to command and guide drones and fighters.

Their future tasks are heavy, combat tasks are tight, and they need to deal with various difficulties and dangers.

As for the current situation of driving the Naga army out of the black mud swamp area, the Gulf Territory still needs to send more troops here.

If it were in the past, the Gulf Territory's actions would inevitably attract the attention of many territories and forces.

But now they don't have this idea!

The Naga monsters are constantly increasing.

The number and strength of magical creatures are constantly increasing.

Even some reopened relics and ruins.

All brought them a lot of trouble and gains.

After being recruited and taken away by the Gulf Territory in succession, they finally realized that more talents and combat effectiveness are the most important.

They may not be able to fully control them, but there is no need to completely control them.

We can learn from the Gulf Territory and use rewards and task guidance to let other combatants work for us.

At the beginning, it is natural that there will be difficulties in running-in, and people will not want to pay and want to take advantage of each other.

When several groups of people die or several territories are breached, everyone, including combatants, adventurers, and even lords and nobles, will realize that danger and the material plane will not joke with them.

In this case, they quickly reached a consensus on this and began to operate little by little according to the task model of the Gulf Territory.

Once this kind of thing started, both sides soon tasted the benefits.

The lords and nobles reduced casualties, eliminated troubles and dangers, and gained a lot.

The adventurers gained more and changed the living environment of themselves and their families.

Some ordinary farmers also became combatants one after another, and became professionals in training and strengthening.

The desire for more combatants and the training of more production personnel began to gradually make the major territories and forces become active.

Now, they have seen the benefits of the Gulf Territory's active training of talents and finally decided not to let them go.

The effect of free-range is too slow, and the upper limit will not be too high, so it is impossible to form effective competitiveness.

Compared with the rapid development of other territories and forces, the obvious transformation is happening from the bottom to the top.

The Netheril Empire, which was just about to start, was suddenly put on the brakes.

The threat brought by the orc army in the northwest and the west has not been resolved, and the demiplanes that have calmed down a little have seen very serious rebellions again.

Many cities in the demiplanes have been breached, and both the headquarters of the Netheril Empire and the major noble forces have suffered considerable losses.

What makes them feel most distressed is the reduction of combat power.

The legion army of the Netheril Empire has never stopped in these years, always running around.

Either in battle or on the way to battle.

The loss of personnel and the consumption of elite forces would have had a considerable impact on their overall strength.

Fortunately, there are many smart people in the Netheril Empire. The Great Archmage Kno-Norman and his party have not lost power because of the emergence of the Bay Territory.

The Gulf Territory helped the Netheril Empire train hundreds of thousands of new soldiers and trained a large number of commanders with good strength and ability.

At the same time, it also provided it with a considerable amount of weapons and equipment, as well as some very outstanding combat puppets.

In return, as Matthew became a great arcanist, the territory of the Gulf Territory expanded further.

Matthew's noble title has been successfully promoted to Duke.

The conscription mission of the Gulf Territory has also been replaced by the training of soldiers and the provision of weapons and equipment.

At the beginning, some mage lords and parliamentarians expressed dissatisfaction.

But when they learned that the services and materials provided by the Gulf Territory were recognized by almost all the Netheril legions.

Moreover, after actual combat testing and multiple inspections, these legion commanders only recognized the materials and equipment produced by the Gulf Territory.

As a result, the situation of the Gulf Territory in the Netheril Empire immediately stabilized.

Opponents can protest in parliament, but they dare not say no to the legion commanders.

That is definitely a dead end!

But even if there is help from the Gulf Territory.

The major legions of the Netheril Empire not only did not suffer any loss in combat effectiveness.

They also obtained the renewal of weapons and equipment, as well as the upgrade and strengthening of various combat puppets.

Faced with the sudden outbreak of large-scale turmoil, they were a little stretched for a while.

Especially this time, the fierce Kor Elf Kingdom did not give the Netheril Empire more breathing space.

They launched many back-up plans, directly allowing some lords and nobles of the Netheril Empire to launch a blatant rebellion.

What made countless mage lords feel incredible was that these rebellious lords and nobles were distributed throughout the Netheril Empire.

In addition to the areas occupied by the Gulf Territory, even in the Karl Plains and even around Sewenton, there were rebellious nobles who raised the banner of independence.

"What are they looking for?"

"What? Of course, they want to survive!"

"Those lords and nobles are all old and weak, and they just want to continue their lives through the Cole Elf Kingdom."

"Presumably they have obtained some benefits and want to live longer, so they work so hard. Otherwise, they will never leave everything they have behind and will definitely launch a rebellion."

"There are too many, more than five or six hundred, accounting for almost 1/20 of the nobles of the Netheril Empire, and their strength is not weak..."

"They not only want to launch a rebellion and attack the surrounding lords and nobles, but they can also harvest a fortune and bring it to the Cole Elf Kingdom..."

"They must have set off now. The guy who really controls the territory may have become a puppet of the Cole Elf Kingdom..."

"It is unimaginable that the Netherese Empire knows nothing about such a horrific infiltration."

"..."

Butler Ralph carefully announced the situation of the Netheril Empire so that everyone in the Gulf Territory could understand it together.

The residents of the Gulf Territory from all over the northern continent were quite surprised by the sudden changes in the Netheril Empire.

They never expected that the Netheril Empire, which they thought was very powerful and dangerous, would suddenly become shaky.

At this time, they felt very lucky that the Gulf Territory was still safe.

Fortunately, the territory under the leadership of the lord can still allow them to live a safe and comfortable life.

After comparison, happiness naturally increased rapidly.

Many local people joined in praying to Matthew and Yaya.

I used to do this to improve my strength and training.

Doing this now is not only to become stronger, but also to make the entire territory better, and even more to make Lord Lord and Lord Yaya stronger!

Their idea is very simple. They will never give up the good life they have now.

It will get better and better in the future, so they don’t expect it for the time being.

I just hope I can keep the good life I have now!

Matthew naturally noticed such changes.

However, his response was very simple. He did not increase his efforts in this regard. Instead, he complied with everyone's ideas and continued to follow the plan step by step.

The Netheril Empire has learned a lesson from the past. Power that cannot be completely controlled not only cannot be a help, but can even become a burden and abscess.

Matthew didn't want to be like the Netheril Empire now, with wounds everywhere and being continuously bled.

If the current situation cannot be resolved quickly, wait until the situation collapses step by step, and wait until the situation in front of you continues to deteriorate.

Then the huge Netheril Empire will be left with only an empty shell!

Presumably because of this, the subsequent Netheril Empire encountered disasters that some forces could not resist.

They will also ignore each other's destruction just like now.

Until destruction falls on their own heads and no one can help them!

Matthew knew very well that the scattered social systems and structures of the Netheril Empire would fall apart sooner or later.

It's just that the great power of the professionals and the power of the great arcanist are maintaining this process.

And now in the turbulent era, there are powerful enemies like the Cole Elf Kingdom tampering behind the scenes.

Relying only on the forces of the Grand Arcanist Kenoman, the rest either have their own plans or are holding them back.

It’s a wonder that the Netheril Empire survives!

Matthew is willing to help the lords and nobles whose territories have been invaded and accept their populations and refugees.

As for these nobles and lords who have lost their territories, if they are willing to provide a certain level of return, the Gulf Territory is willing to help them rebuild their territories after the situation stabilizes.

For such a deal, almost all the surviving lords and nobles chose to agree because they had no other way to go.

Fortunately, the Gulf Territory never fails to do things, and will definitely do what it promises.

Just when the Gulf Territory was quietly developing its military power, absorbing more people, and helping the Netheril Empire stabilize the situation and avoid an instant collapse.

More Naga monsters also began to attack the Netheril Empire from various water channels.

Their offensive was quite fierce. They captured several cities that day and quickly spread to the surrounding areas.

In response to the sudden explosion of the Naga army, the Gulf Leader became more decisive in its actions in the Black Mud Swamp.

The Gulf Leader army, which was no longer on the defensive, quickly pushed the front towards the coast under the cover of the mechanical flying dragon bombing force and light and heavy artillery units.

Although there were many in number, the Naga army, which relied solely on flesh and blood and could not resist the magic bombs, was ruthlessly defeated.

The engineering troops who followed up built cities and fortresses one after another.

At the same time, the city walls and road network used for defense will be pushed forward together.

In order to prepare for this battle, the Gulf Territory has already accumulated a sufficient amount of various construction materials and weapons and equipment.

They were continuously transported to the front line and became the "fuel" for the Gulf Territory's continuous advancement.

The blazing flames will turn into ruthless greedy beasts and devour the enemy alive, leaving only a few residues in the end, blending into the black mud swamp that has been disturbed for a long time.

The assault team in front kept fighting and easily defeated their opponents.

The subsequent advancing troops helped them stabilize the rear, allowing them to attack without restraint.

The siege troops behind were built quickly, and every time they occupied an area, they could completely control it and digest it quickly.

Once this was achieved, it could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

The Gulf Territory had such an invincible fighting method that allowed every soldier to fight with confidence!

The whole process was very smooth, but it did not seem complicated, but very simple.

However, it was not easy to do this.

There were still many territories and forces paying attention to the large-scale battles in the Gulf Territory.

They collected a lot of information about the Gulf Territory, mainly for corresponding learning.

But they found helplessly that even if they knew how the Gulf Territory did it, they were unable to imitate and copy it.

They did not have the well-trained golem army of the Gulf Territory!

They did not have such a powerful construction capability as the Gulf Territory engineering troops!

They were not as rich as the Gulf Territory!

That's right, being rich was also the most critical reason!

The money and resources of the Gulf Territory could be concentrated and used, and there was basically no waste.

As for other organizations and forces, they are divided among all classes.

There are very few resources that are truly used to improve and develop the overall strength.

Even some rulers with stronger hands cannot change the current situation.

Because those who manipulate these resources and money include themselves!

Can you do it to yourself?

The Gulf Territory can do it!

Or, Matthew and Yaya can do it!

This fully reflects the difference between them!

The Gulf Territory's attack on the Naga troops can be said to be unstoppable.

In just 5 days, it has advanced about 150 kilometers.

Basically, wherever the front line advances, it can be completely occupied.

Such a terrible advancement speed makes the Naga army, which seems almost like a natural disaster in other territories and forces, completely unable to resist.

Since you can't bear it, just don't bear it!

The Naga army, which has suffered enough losses, finally stopped providing large-scale support to the Gulf Territory when it occupied half of the Black Mud Swamp.

The remaining tens of millions of Naga sea monsters no longer launched concentrated attacks, but scattered and hid in various places in the Black Mud Swamp.

As the saying goes, even if you have good teeth, you still have to pick the softest persimmons.

The Naga army did not send forces to the Black Mud Swamp, but instead sent more troops to other areas of the northern continent.

They strive to occupy more waters and territories, and create more terrifying rituals! (End of this chapter)
