arcane emperor

The huge palace of flesh and blood exudes a corrupt and twisted aura.

Various flesh-and-blood buildings are filled with ruin and desolation.

An odor like that of pickled petrels, herrings, and steamed durian lingered around the huge ruins, as if it were a reminder, or like the wailing of the dead.

Kali looked at the complex, twisted, huge structures and symbols that carried many symbolic meanings, and could vaguely sense the terrifying power contained therein.

This unknown civilization cemetery is even older than the time when the elves came to the material plane.

By studying their various flesh-creatures, the Kor elves learned many secrets and techniques.

Especially about eternal life!
Immortality, the eternal luxury of intelligent creatures!

Countless civilizations and empires have been destroyed by it.

At least, it is one of the main causes of destruction.

"Roar……!"

A terrifying roar came from the depths of the ruins.

The voice contained a captivating power that made people's scalps tingle and their hands and feet cold.

The accompanying Cole elves were all on alert, and a legendary wanderer quickly took out a dark grey scroll and tore it open quickly.

A grey, translucent shadow quickly enveloped them.

The rolling fog emerged, and hideous souls whizzed past.

A huge black shadow passed slowly with violent shock.

The whole world was in turmoil, which brought a lot of pressure to the Kor elves.

They didn't dare to look at that terrifying existence, for fear of attracting its attention.

They waited until the other party was far away before they dared to go deeper into the ruins.

The closer you get to the interior of the ruins, the more active the various flesh and blood buildings and creations become.

They could even see some twisted and hideous living creatures of flesh and blood that could continue to function after being stimulated.

"The arrival of the elemental tide has made the activity here much stronger. There should be more other dangers..."

"Be careful, we are just testing the waters this time to gather more intelligence, and we will take action next time."

But the more this happened, the more vigilant they became.

It is precisely because of the exploration that we will encounter more unknown dangers.

Kari led the members of the Shadow Council into the rolling fog.

Just as the Kor elves were preparing to cause trouble, the Gulf Army, which had completed this large-scale combat mission, was excitedly conducting post-war statistics.

"We killed 12 slave warriors, 3672 mind flayers, and captured 7 legendary mind flayers."

"We captured 16 fortresses, 22 cities, and 57 citadels."

"174 outposts, 32 large camps, and 1 super fortress have been established."

"142 large-scale integrated factories were built, including four super military factories and three super agricultural production factories."

Everyone present understood that any building or production plant with the prefix "super" was.

They are controlled by a group of elite personnel and computing centers and can basically complete fully automatic production and combat tasks.

It's just for confidentiality, and its features will not be announced for the time being.

The purpose of doing this is, of course, to protect computing centers and automated production plants.

In the past two or three years, other territories, even including the Kingdom of the Kor Elf, have plagiarized and learned from the Gulf Territory in many aspects.

For other things, the Gulf has a huge first-mover advantage, which is also part of the development plan and guidance plan.

That’s why they are willing to make a deal after “cheating” them.

The computing center and fully automated production and combat programs have extremely powerful and terrifying potential.

Once the other party learns or masters it, it can be popularized in a short period of time and produce massive amounts of materials and equipment.

Therefore, this kind of technology must be used with great care and caution.

Once counterattacked by the enemy, the advantages accumulated by the Gulf Territory may be lost.

The enemy's chaotic application of various technologies has been discussed many times by the staff and managers of the Gulf Command.

They will not choose to make it public or trade before taking appropriate preventive measures.

In addition to these gains, what made Angela happiest was that the Gulf Territory itself suffered very little losses.

"A total of 172 soldiers and 546 adventurers died."

"Another 3232 personnel need to join the Dragon Warrior transformation sequence..."

Sacrifices in war are unavoidable, but they are worth it.

The contribution they make will enable the development of the Gulf Territory to take a big step forward.

At the same time, Matthew, who was accompanying them, had already collected their bodies.

Also taken in were the souls attached to their bodies.

Since we want to take over the Shadow Demiplane where the Mind Flayer Empire is located, we naturally have to make preparations in advance.

Perhaps, they will become the first batch of soul-form citizens in the Gulf Territory.

The strength of the Mind Flayer Empire's army is stronger than most of the enemies the Gulf Lord has ever fought.

Many commanders even speculated that even the army of the Kor Elf Kingdom was not their match at the moment.

Even if the other party has invested considerable energy in the research and production of combat armor, various light and heavy machine guns, and light and heavy artillery.

The Gulf leader also had enough confidence to win the battle and put up a very beautiful fight!

However, the Gulf Lord, who still wants to continue to accumulate strength, will naturally not act rashly.

Otherwise, the battlefield in the Black Mud Swamp, the maritime war zone in the Eastern Islands, and the closed battle in the Dark Forest would not be what they are now.

This overwhelming victory did not make everyone lose their minds, but instead made them more confident and more determined to continue developing.

As long as we keep developing, even the Kingdom of the Cole Elf will be left behind by the territory in the future.

Angela made some commendations and quickly arranged the subsequent deployment and combat tasks of the combat troops.

After the combat mission was arranged, Angela began to deal with other issues.

"More than 150 million slave warriors were captured and they need to be properly arranged and dealt with..."

"They are more suitable for the underground environment, where they can play a better role and be sent to other occupied areas for processing and resettlement."

"Just as a new batch of managers and a large number of trainees have graduated, we can let them try their hands and complete the practice properly."

The handling and arrangements of the Gulf Territory are usually very closely related.

The development and training of reserve talents is even more important than the immediate combat missions.

After arranging all the tasks, Angela will naturally give commendations.

"All soldiers who participated in the battle will receive a reward of 200 gold coins and corresponding merits..."

"The quest rewards that adventurers receive will also be further increased to make up for the increased difficulty of the quests..."

"Also notify the gray elves and dwarves. They will all receive corresponding battle rewards..."

The various rewards and feedback give everyone participating in the battle an extra surprise.

They are well aware that rewards are not necessary.

Mainly because they have made meritorious contributions, successfully completed combat missions, and achieved brilliant victories. As the strength of the Gulf Territory increases step by step, people's lives are getting better and better.

As long as they work hard, they can eat well, dress well, and enjoy the many benefits brought by the development of the Gulf Territory.

Even the treatment of the Gulf Territory soldiers has always been the best.

However, the arduous daily training and dangerous combat missions will also discourage some people.

However, for the vast majority of people in the Gulf Territory.

As long as there is an opportunity, they will join the Gulf Territory's combat sequence without hesitation.

This is related to the usual publicity of the Gulf Leader, and is also inseparable from the sense of honor and pride in everyone's hearts.

Joining the Gulf Territory's combat sequence and fighting for the Gulf Territory's development and a better future is the life that almost all Gulf Territory people strive for.

Compare it with previous experiences, think about the lives of people in other territories and kingdoms, and understand the difficulties and crises that the territory is currently facing.

These thoughts that open people's minds will make everyone's thoughts and consciousness more firm.

In this dangerous world, everyone needs to contribute their own strength to the development of the Gulf Territory!
This is true for work and for fighting!

While clearing out the Mind Flayer army, a large number of Mind Flayer reinforcements were pouring towards the Gulf Territory's defense line.

The Gulf Army, which officially took over the defense operations, gave these Mind Flayer troops a different "surprise".

Compared to the adventurers' consuming and harassing fighting style, the fighting situation of the Gulf Leader's army was completely different.

Even if a large number of rockets are not used, covering fire should be carried out first.

Instead, in order to better train the combat troops' close combat capabilities, they chose to engage in a head-on battle with the Mind Flayer army.

The Gulf Leader's army, equipped with new weapons and equipment, is fighting the Mind Flayer army in batches.

On the one hand, it is to consume their manpower and prepare for the next offensive.

On the other hand, it is also to train other combat personnel and enhance their combat experience and strength.

But even so, the Gulf Territory combat forces still achieved almost all victories.

The losses suffered by each combat unit were minimal.

Even if there are occasional casualties or injuries, they will be treated and rescued quickly.

On the contrary, the reinforcements of the Mind Flayer army are becoming fewer and fewer, and it seems that they can hardly withstand the consumption of fighting with the Gulf Leader's army.

The Gulf-based combat forces have been fully "trained" and have become more confident.

Beat up the Mind Flayer troops severely and let them know how powerful they are.

Invisibly, all the Gulf Leader soldiers realized that their hard work in daily training had been richly rewarded.

This will undoubtedly make them more confident and more passionate about training.

More importantly, the territory will produce corresponding combat images for each soldier.

In a year or two, these images can be released as part of the honorary rewards for their battle.

Of course, this is also a process of accumulating data and constantly improving combat experience and combat skills.

The number of the Mind Flayer army is decreasing, and the pressure it puts on the Gulf Territory's combat forces is also decreasing.

The commanders of the Gulf Territory, aware that they were somewhat exhausted, immediately rotated and rested the combat soldiers.

We don’t know how many battles there will be in the future, so the most important thing is to adjust the soldiers’ physical and mental state.

At the same time, the Gulf Lord, with the attitude of divine soldiers sent from heaven, encircled and wiped out a large number of Mind Flayer troops.

The shock it brought to the underground world was no less than that brought about by the awakening of the gods.

In particular, the drow elves, who are the number one force in the underground world, have more complicated ideas about the "expansion" of the Gulf Territory.

In the face of possible hostility from the drow elves, the Bay Lords' approach was very simple.

Give the drow something to do!
The gray elves, led by Sera, soon found the representatives of the drow elves, led by the city of Mobleso.

"I believe everyone has seen the power of the Gulf Territory. Now that we can stop the Mind Flayer Empire, everyone can rest assured."

With a smile on her face, Sera didn't mind at all that her relationship with the Gulf Lord was known to everyone. Instead, she was happy to show and emphasize this point.

To deal with the drow elves, you must not give them any chances of luck.

Otherwise, these guys will kill themselves in front of you.

Without waiting for these guys to speak, Sera continued to speak concisely and clearly:

"I believe that everyone is still unaware that the changes in the Mind Flayer Empire were actually caused by the Kor Elves."

The Kor elves took control of the Mind Flayer Empire?

Such a crazy idea immediately made all the drow elf grandmother representatives shake their heads.

It’s not that they don’t want to believe it, but the possibility is too low.

If the Kor elves could really control the Mind Flayer Empire, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?
Sera did not explain and ignored the various looks from these guys. She simply waved her hand to show a video.

Several passages connecting to the surface world immediately appeared before the eyes of the drow elves.

Outside these passages are complex and varied underground tunnels.

Above these underground tunnels is the location of the Kor Elf Kingdom.

The very thoughtful Lord of the Bay also marked very detailed data for the cities of the Kor Elf Kingdom.

"Guardian power..."

"The situation of the combat troops..."

"The number of super-class professionals..."

"The number of legendary professionals..."

"City wall defense information..."

"Defense facility information..."

"The situation of the reinforcements and their respective arrival times..."

"The estimated amount of spoils..."

“Local high-value specialty products…”

The various detailed information made the drow elves' eyes light up.

As we all know, the greedy drow elves are completely unable to resist any wonderful temptation.

Especially at this time, Sera, who was much taller than them, looked down at them and said with a smile:

"It's the same as before. If you are willing to send out combat troops, you will receive rewards and compensation from the Gulf Territory."

"If successful, the Gulf Territory is even willing to exempt everyone from subsequent funding payments for various war materials..."

"The main forces of the Cole Elf Kingdom are all at the border and abroad. The internal defense is very weak. This is a great opportunity for a surprise attack..."

"Those who are willing to cooperate, please remember to inform me secretly and don't make this news public, so as to avoid being envied and remembered by others."

After saying that, Sera, with a smile on her face, turned around and left without hesitation.

As she expected, the drow elves behind her immediately started a sharp quarrel.

However, no matter how much they quarrel or make a fuss, they will definitely not be absent from striking and retaliating against the Kor elves.

Anyway, we're sending someone else out, and they won't be the ones to die! (End of this chapter)
