arcane emperor

The violent wind continued to blow over.

A rare heavy rain poured down.

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

They greedily devour the water droplets in a variety of ways.

What is very interesting is that after these water droplets fall down, they are swallowed by the plants and animals they come into contact with before they even have time to gather.

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

Because of this, although the entire twisted jungle is lush and green and filled with various creatures, water resources are actually quite scarce.

Only after these organisms and plants have eaten their fill will the remaining drops of water fall down.

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

It goes without saying that an ecological environment that has been deprived of most of its resources and a considerable number of variable factors will be in a state of continuous cycle and constrained stagnation.

Basically, it is equivalent to that it has been stably controlled.

However, Matthew could also clearly feel that under such circumstances, the stagnant state of continuous accumulation and change would inevitably lead to some terrible changes in the future.

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

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

However, Matthew and the Gulf Lord did not have time to wait for this backlash to take effect, and instead continued to implement their plans very simply.

"Catachan adaptations of various estates and production plants..."

"A concentrated cultivation site for various special magical materials..."

"The development of special mineral veins on the Catachan plane..."

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

These tasks are extremely important and must be addressed and processed as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the Bay Leader is very fast in developing talent, and is very skilled in the arrangement and execution of 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 speed at which the Gulf Territory advanced.

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

The increasing number of Gulf leaders made the Catachans scattered among them lose all their thoughts.

The Gulf Territory was so powerful when there were fewer people, and now there are more and more people, even more than all the Catachans combined. 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 at the endless stream of Gulf leaders being transported here.

While studying and practicing hard, he communicated with the fairy tale and asked incredulously:
“Have all the pioneers been sent here?”

The fairy tale, which looked like a real person, smiled and shook his head, and answered very clearly in the common language:

"We did select the number of Catachan demiplanes, and focused on selecting their adaptability and combat capabilities."

"However, the number of staff and pioneers transported to the Catachan demiplane is only one-third of the corresponding number."

Only 1/3?

Ji Fan reacted immediately and showed an ecstatic expression.

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

As for the apparently "slowly increasing" population, it should be used to confuse the enemies in the Gulf Territory.

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

This does not conform to the Gulf Territory's development policy of exposing part, hiding most of it, dispersing and hiding, and accumulating strength.

Currently, no more than 5 people know the true population of the Gulf Territory.

This is bound to be a number that will shock everyone.

A full 3125 million people!

This means that in the 135 years since the arrival of the elemental tide, the population of the Gulf Territory has grown to over 2000 million.

The reason why there is such a big improvement.

In addition to the approximately 200 million intelligent population of other races such as the Gray Elves, Gray Dwarves, Halflings, Wood Elves, etc. absorbed by the Gulf Territory.

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

And the most important point is.

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

In the past, the Gulf Territory's caravans could only be absorbed and recruited in the cities where the nobles and lords were located and their surrounding areas.

Now, it's completely different!

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

Even some barons or lords, or even some powerful knights, can enjoy the treatment of cooperating with the Lord of the Gulf.

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

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

By the way, it also allows those lords and nobles who might be killed by the rioting people to have longer-lasting happiness and peace.

Well, as long as they behave themselves!
As for taking action against these nobles, or fattening the pigs before killing them, such speculation and discussion rarely appear in the discussions of the Gulf Territory managers.

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

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

But more lords and nobles did not think about improving the strength and foundation of their territory, but only knew how to spend money on wine and women and pursue pleasure.

The annexation of such a foolish fellow would certainly reduce the strength and positive atmosphere of the Gulf Territory.

It is better to let them get a certain degree of training and testing in the impact of disasters 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 was that no one noticed.

This is not only because of the strength of the Gulf Territory itself, but also because the staff sent out have excellent combat effectiveness.

The deeper you go into the grassroots, the greater the voice your strength brings.

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 foothold.

When absorbing the population, the Gulf Leader will carry out relative staff replacement to ensure that the local population and workload will not decrease.

As long as their interests are not harmed, it doesn't matter even if these lords and nobles are aware of the Gulf Territory's actions.

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

This is an attraction plan designed by researchers in the Gulf Region specifically for the lower-class people.

Similarly, there are a large number of powerful lords and nobles who are making a big splash on battlefields across the entire northern continent. Compared to other knowledge and technical aspects of the path to godhood, the direct 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, the only things they can see that have the most visual and sensory impact are the battle images.

The "heroic deeds" that are circulated along with these battle images are also the easiest to be remembered by them, and thus spread more widely without being noticed.

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

They took a fancy to the strong propaganda ability of the Gulf leader.

Whether it is the newspapers spread across the entire northern continent, the magic screens throughout the cities, or the caravans that continuously disseminate data and information.

Their victory can be spread to most people in just one or two days.

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

Many lords and nobles have already improved 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 they have a profound foundation and extraordinary opportunities.

Even if they have never mastered divine power and divinity, they possess similar items or props, or know where to obtain them.

Now, the Gulf Territory has provided them with a method to digest and absorb, which is equivalent to a qualitative change from 0 to 1, and naturally they will develop rapidly.

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

"As expected of a child of destiny, a favored one by heaven. Even without the intervention of "players", he can still rise quickly..."

"The golden scales are originally in the pond, but once they encounter wind and clouds, they turn into dragons. Given some opportunities, they become more brilliant. I hope everyone will become better and better in the future."

Matthew sighed like this while calmly writing down various information.

The turbulent and important 135 years are coming to an end.

The following years were equally more dangerous and brilliant.

He turned his head and looked at the busy Annie, and said directly:

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

Annie reacted immediately, trying to recall the information and intelligence of the Brave Continent. She looked at the busy Volcano Fortress reluctantly, and nodded without hesitation:

"No problem, leave it to me."

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

Because the battle on the Catachan plane never stops.

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

The difference lies in the strength and number of the monsters.

There are battles and various missions to allow these adventurers and Bay Territory staff to hone their skills.

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

Even Matthew and Tonghua arranged some emergency drills.

Through various internship training methods, their abilities are tested and honed.

135 years.

12 month 20 day.

The Continent of Brave.

The huge steel battleship slowly stopped.

The huge tower cranes are busy and fast, loading and unloading large amounts of materials.

Seeing the very welcoming Elliot, Aini breathed a sigh of relief and introduced to her the Elf Dragon Warrior troops she brought with her.

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

Elio understood what they were thinking, smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and said in a rogue tone:

"The enemies here are so enthusiastic and give me so many opportunities to grow."

It was enough to just listen to this. Annie naturally didn't 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 receiving the magic watch, Elliot showed a little joy on his face. He invited them into the city and introduced it to them:

"Ordinary enemies can be dealt with by adventurers and guard soldiers."

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

demon?

A word that is unfamiliar but clearly threatening!
Noticing that everyone was looking at him, Elio sent the confidential battle footage of the fourth level of the Bay Territory to the magic watches of Aini and the dragon warriors.

They clicked on it out of curiosity and immediately saw large groups of terrifying figures.

That's the devil!
It has two horns on its head and two wings on its back.

Human face and sheep's hooves, full of malicious intent.

Demons come in all shapes and sizes.

The big ones were as tall as five or six meters, covered with strong muscles and wearing heavy gray-black armor, showing extremely terrifying destructive power.

There are surprisingly many small ones, they can fly and are flexible, and they are good at using various spells such as fireball, weakness, flame ray, etc.

There are many kinds of demons.

In just a few dozen seconds of battle footage, seventeen or eighteen different kinds of demons appeared.

There are berserkers who are tall and strong, and serve as the backbone of the battlefield.

A six-armed snake demon with six arms and six swords in his hands, whose attacks are comparable to Blade Storm.

There are insect-like demons that are huge in size, have thick shells, and look like giant worms.

There are also hunting demons with human heads and spider bodies, strange and difficult seduction demons, hideous and terrifying judgment demons and other monsters that are different from ordinary demons.
Moreover, their vitality is quite strong, and they can continue to fight unless their energy core is hit, causing their material body to collapse.

Faced with such an enemy, Annie immediately judged that ordinary combat troops were no match for them.

The magic images that have been carefully analyzed record the attributes, skills, expertise, and combat capabilities of many demons.

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

The average combat effectiveness generally reached more than 200 points!
The corresponding professionals are at least elite level.

It is obvious that these demons that invaded the Brave Continent have gone through countless rounds of selection!
Not only are they the strongest, they are also the most dangerous.

If it were in the past, Annie would definitely wonder whether she or her troops could win.

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

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