Emperor of Arcane

The actions of these Naga monsters have put considerable pressure on other territories and forces.

Large numbers of Naga warriors swarmed in.

Not only are their individual strengths outstanding, their number and scale are far beyond the combatants controlled by most lords and nobles.

After a simple trial and confrontation.

They soon discovered that they and others were no match for the Naga monster army.

They could only stay away from the water or be forced to defend.

Fortunately, after several years of turmoil and preparations for the defense of the Naga army.

Most cities far away from the water can rely on solid city walls, light and heavy machine guns and magic artillery exchanged from the Gulf Territory to withstand the offensive of the Naga army.

But for the small lords and people at the village and town level, they were basically unable to resist the advance of the Naga army.

Most of them can only run away, to higher ground, to dangerous wilderness camps, to safer towns.

It's far away from the water!

Under this situation, the population in the city is increasing, the pressure is increasing, and more and more Naga monsters are attracted.

They need to kill, need to sacrifice, and need to pray to "gods"!

Without much hesitation, the lords and nobles who suffered the attack decisively requested assistance from the Gulf Territory.

They hope to obtain support from combat troops in the Gulf Territory or trade in various weapons and equipment.

If possible, they need more food!

Regarding their various "trade requests", the Gulf Territory did not speak out loudly as before, but quickly arranged corresponding manpower.

Of course, without gaining command authority.

The combat troops of the Gulf Territory will not cooperate with them in fighting. Instead, they will focus on cleaning up the Naga troops in the wild.

Kill the Nagas that are building and prevent them from building deep-sea monster lairs in the waters everywhere.

Once Naga achieves this, they will face a steady stream of deep sea monsters.

However, this is not the surrounding area of ​​the Gulf Territory after all, and the combat forces sent by the Gulf Territory are limited.

Moreover, the Gulf Territory commanders will not assign death missions to combat troops.

It can only curb the rapid expansion of the Naga army and delay their complete occupation of these areas.

At the same time, production factories and cooperative factories scattered across the northern continent were making huge profits from this opportunity.

They have no intention of stopping and are constantly arranging the production of various parts and weapons and equipment.

After producing these parts and weapons and equipment, the production line is constantly being expanded to obtain greater output.

The more you produce, the more transactions you make, the more money you make.

At this time, they felt extremely lucky for their decision to cooperate with the Gulf Territory.

Not only is it safe, you can also make a lot of money by cooperating with the Gulf Territory, and you can even gain continuous improvement in strength and economy.

One effort, many gains!

It’s simply not too profitable!

Of course, the other lords and nobles were not fools. After seeing their changes and understanding the ins and outs of the matter, they naturally followed suit.

Many lords and nobles took action!

They all want to cooperate with the Gulf Territory!

Even if it is late to get on the bus now, at least I can keep up, which is better than being left behind all the time.

What's more, they also have more ideas in their minds.

If the Gulf Territory can learn this trick, even if they are not as powerful as the Gulf Territory, they can still be stronger than the surrounding territories.

Worse than bad, they couldn't be better at it!

The tentacles of the development of the Gulf Territory gradually expanded to every corner of the northern continent.

The materials they produced are everywhere, their propaganda materials are everywhere, and the combat troops they sent are everywhere.

The Gulf Territory now knows very well that the real strength is the powerful combat troops, and other things are just incidental.

The cooperation between the Gulf Territory and the major forces, apart from part of the demand for resources, the remaining energy is used to transfer the population.

Refugees who fled to the city, lords and nobles who lost their homes, and some weak adventurers.

They all joined the Gulf Territory actively or passively for various reasons.

The Gulf Territory did not send them to the territory immediately. The transfer of tens to millions of people every month was undoubtedly a very difficult matter.

The Gulf Territory's solution to this problem is to build production factory areas belonging to the Gulf Territory in nearby territories and various areas.

The main function of the production factory area is to produce various materials and train corresponding production personnel.

In addition to the huge production line, it also includes living areas, rest areas, residential areas, training areas, education areas, sales areas and many other areas and corresponding buildings.

They can accommodate many people, not only working in them, but also living in them and even receiving education and training.

After initial training and re-education, they were basically able to adapt to the life and work needs of the Gulf Territory, and by the way, they also completed part of the production tasks of the local production factory.

When the time is right or the transport fleet arrives, some of the people who have undergone transformation and are judged to be suitable will be gathered together and transported in a unified manner.

As for those who have just been sent, and some who perform poorly, they need further training and re-education.

After they arrived at the Gulf Territory, the better living conditions and circumstances would naturally allow them to easily integrate into the Gulf Territory and gain a new life.

The many resources accumulated by the Gulf Territory, the talents trained, and the constantly improved and improved systems can ensure the rapid digestion of these populations.

In this way, the Gulf Territory quickly accumulated population, produced workers, and talents in all aspects, completing a barbaric and solid growth.

Most of them will be sent to various areas occupied by the Gulf Territory for deeper mastery and transformation.

The strength of the Gulf Territory has also ushered in further rapid growth while other territories have suffered turmoil and can only barely maintain stability.

In this stage of rapid strength improvement, the style of the Gulf Territory has not changed much.

More than 1/3 of the resources are stored as strategic reserves for the territory.

Nearly 1/3 of all kinds of resources will be put into existing production lines to produce various materials that can satisfy both the entire Gulf Territory and almost all trading objects.

Another 1/3 of various resources will be made into various weapons and war materials for use in various battlefields of the Gulf Territory, for sale and strategic storage.

While maintaining the continuous operation of the huge production line, the improvement and upgrading of various production technologies are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

According to the calculations and estimates of the personnel of the major research institutes in the Gulf Territory, the speed of updating and upgrading of the corresponding production technology should be based on a 10% advancement speed to update and iterate the overall production line.

Of course, the Gulf Territory has also made considerable preparations in terms of improving the production line and maintaining publicity capabilities.

For example, even if a fully automated production line has been developed, a corresponding proportion of manual production lines and semi-automated production lines will still be maintained.

There are several purposes for doing this, the most important of which is to ensure that in extreme situations, the production capacity of the Gulf Territory will not be devastated.

The storage and sorting of development materials are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

Matthew's careful preparations will not surprise everyone in the territory.

The reason is simple. The lord has never missed it, and the enemies encountered by the territory are becoming more and more dangerous. It is also very good to have subsequent preparations and backhands.

The Gulf Territory lent a helping hand to other places, and only did some simple work in various regions of the Netheril Empire.

Selling some combat supplies in exchange for various resources, but not going further to prevent the territory from being involved.

After all, who knows which noble is trading with the Gulf Territory now, it is possible that the pawn planted by the Cole Elf Kingdom.

Although the big guys in the Gulf Territory will not be grateful for the turmoil in the Netheril Empire.

But they all expressed a considerable degree of dissatisfaction with them fighting each other and making a mess everywhere.

"Brothers fight within the walls, defend against external humiliation, the orcs haven't been resolved yet? They're already fighting each other?"

"Who are the mad mage lords, or the nobles and people who have been resentful for a long time?"

"The hostility and division between the territories have been established over the course of hundreds and thousands of years..."

"It's better for us to be in the Gulf Territory, we are all one family..."

"It's only our Gulf Territory that's like this, don't the people in other territories, even those from the same place, have high and low status?"

"When you put it that way, I suddenly realized that our territory doesn't seem to have..."

"There's no need to say this, just let everyone know, and everyone will benefit."

"Hehehe, it's better for us to be in the Gulf Territory, what kind of life are people in other places living now!"

"Everyone should work hard and complete their tasks, which is the greatest contribution to the territory..."

"That's right, we can't become like them!"

"..."

Everyone can always find satisfaction in comparison.

The turmoil in the Netheril Empire made the big guys in the Gulf Territory understand the importance of a strong territory and a strong army.

However, no one in the territory expected that an extremely terrible thing would push their worries and thoughts to a higher level.

February 8, 136.

Ralph, a panicked housekeeper, found Matthew who was busy in the underground laboratory.

The Lord of the Bay, who had just finished the follow-up surgery and transformation research, took the information he handed over calmly, looked through it briefly, and sighed involuntarily:

"The floating city that never falls, finally fell down by itself!"

That's right, there is only one thing recorded in the information. The floating city, which is the ultimate weapon and symbol of strength of the Netheril Empire, fell today.

In the shaking magic image, a huge shadow fell from the sky.

It was like a stone thrown into the sky, falling so calmly and simply.

When the floating city came into contact with the ground, the smoke and shock that rose into the sky spread around like a tidal wave.

The image screen kept shaking, then shook violently, and finally was swallowed by the rolling smoke and dust.

Fortunately, because the distance was far enough, the person who took the video was not in mortal danger, but he was just unbelievable about the video he took.

Soon, the video screen changed rapidly, and the controller who took the video was approaching the turbulent place quickly.

The rolling smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, and the surging flames shot up into the sky.

The firelight was filled with a hazy color, not an ordinary flame.

The violent magic power continued to surge, tearing the overflowing smoke and dust into various shapes.

There were still pieces of rubble of varying sizes being thrown into the sky by various forces and falling from the sky.

Some even hit the screen, causing waves of shaking.

The objects in the picture were much stronger than everyone imagined, although the viewers did not notice this at all.

They all stared at the ruins gradually emerging from the smoke and dust, looking at the pieces of rubble and building fragments.

An indescribable sense of emptiness suddenly spread from the bottom of their hearts.

Most people felt as if they were falling down continuously, falling into a bottomless abyss.

The indescribable coldness and fear spread rapidly.

"This must be fake!"

"I climbed the Sanrest floating city a few days ago, and it didn't encounter any danger!"

"The floating city can't crash. Even if it is attacked, it will still stay in the sky!"

"That's right, just like the floating city No. 1 in the past, even if it was attacked by the Kingdom of Kor Elf, it would not fall down."

"This video is from the Gulf Territory. Maybe it's their conspiracy!"

"You are really stupid. It's not just this one video, and the location is not far from us. Can't we go and see it?"

"We sent people there a long time ago, but there is no news yet."

"Don't say those useless things. Contact the Archmage Sanrest. Even if the floating city crashes, he won't have any problems!"

"It's already been done... and there is no response..."

"..."

At the beginning, there was a constant quarrel in the hall of the Netheril Empire Parliament.

But soon, the members who were arguing just now lowered their voices at the same time, and finally stopped talking.

The loss of composure and panic just now were just to vent the fear in their hearts.

But now, they have understood.

This thing must be true!

Otherwise, it would never be released in the parliament hall of the Netheril Empire.

The ugly-looking Archmage Kenorman looked at the parliamentarians below who were in different shapes and silent, and his eyes were filled with unspeakable disappointment.

He quickly adjusted his mood, calmly glanced at everyone present, and continued without hesitation:

"The Sanrest floating city has fallen!"

"This is the first floating city to fall in the empire!"

"We must find out the reason for the fall of the floating city at all costs!"

"Whoever dares to stop it will be destroyed by all the forces of the empire!"

"Remember, at all costs!"

The former Netheril Empire relied on the army of spellcasters born from the civilians and the joint efforts and struggles of everyone.

At that time, they were not afraid of any opponent!

Even the Kingdom of Cole Elf dared to say "no" bravely!

The Netheril Empire now only has the floating city left!

This is their lifeblood!

That's why they value it so much! (End of this chapter)
