"The second line of defense is expected to hold out for 2 minutes and 4 seconds. Support will arrive in 52 minutes. We can rest assured."

"Keep doing a good job of testing supplies, we'll need to stay here for a long time!"

"Didn't the fourth team apply for close combat? We can start preparing now!"

"Today is a rare opportunity. The team coming to support us is led by the Dragon Warrior!"

"..."

The order from the sentry commander made everyone feel excited and excited.

They stared intently at the demonic figure rushing out of the artillery fire and quickly made various arrangements and deployments.

Various long-range attacks swarmed in, and taking advantage of the gaps when various automatic weapons and programs were firing, they also operated various weapons to shoot.

At the beginning, they, like many Gulf Territory warriors in the past, thought that since they had brand new weapons and equipment, why should they use such relatively primitive methods?
The answers they received were relatively consistent: “You must improve your personal abilities while preventing accidents from happening.”

All participants agreed that improving personal abilities is important.

As for possible accidents, they once again felt how much the Gulf Lord liked the special arrangements of "being prepared for any eventuality".

As they devoted themselves to the battle, constantly completing various combat orders and killing more and more demons.

A few minutes passed quickly.

Even though these demons gathered more and more, it brought them more and more pressure.

But they did not wait until even heavier artillery fire suddenly surrounded the battlefield.

Tall and burly figures stabbed in like sharp knives and quickly killed many threatening elite demons.

Only then did they realize what was happening.

Support has arrived!
They did not relax because various combat orders continued to come in.

The only difference is that they have changed from main combat personnel to collaborating personnel, helping the Dragon Warrior Commandos to quickly eliminate the enemy.

Many of the soldiers were fascinated by the fighting style and capabilities of the Dragon Warrior Commandos.

Under their observation, members of the Dragon Warrior Commando can always accurately find the most threatening demons.

And quickly and boldly use the propulsion backpack to airdrop to the opponent's location, followed by a perfectly coordinated stranglehold.

Even their individual strength may be stronger than the target being attacked.

But they still chose to attack, ensuring that the opponent would die in the first round of attack.

This may result in a waste of attack power relative to their individual gains and combat situations.

But for the overall battle situation, their approach has a very strong effect.

After eliminating an elite demon, the strength of most of the surrounding demons will be weakened.

If a high-level demon is killed, the entire demon army will fall into panic.

What they do is to use a single point to influence the overall situation of the war.

And with the combination of various supports and extremely fast speed, they easily secured victory in this battle involving thousands of people.

Such a battle result made most of the participants very happy.

They can see their own progress, the various gains from victory in battle, and at the same time they have new directions to work towards.

Of course, there are some guys who are worried.

Those who have close ties with the Kingdom of Kor Elf, or those great nobles and lords with strong ambitions and power.

There was a deeper fear and confusion about the strength of the Gulf Territory's combat forces.

They also don't know what method they should use to catch up with the Gulf Leader in terms of combat forces.

Even if we cannot defeat the Gulf Lord, we must at least not be easily defeated by him!

If it were like the demon army now, they would be easily killed in a few moves.

Then no matter how many plans and preparations they have, it will all be meaningless!

With this in mind, many of them also decided to be like other lords and nobles.

"First accept the weapons and equipment from the Gulf Territory, as well as the various soldier training methods, and improve your strength first."

"When we become strong enough and the opportunity is ripe, we can naturally launch a counterattack!"

Both Matthew and the management of the Gulf Territory felt an inexplicable sense of joy at their "advanced" ideas.

They are very clear about all the things they have learned and the various weapons they have mastered.

They are all products that lag behind the Gulf by several versions.

The more important point is that once the Gulf Territory's combat methods are fully accepted.

The resources and talents required will reach an astonishing level.

They absolutely can't bear to do it, and definitely can't afford to play it!

If they really make such a decision, it will indeed bring some surprises to the Gulf leaders.

However, such a surprise is unlikely to happen.

Because this represents a complete reshuffle of the inherent interest groups, which is basically equivalent to these great lords and nobles betraying the class they represent.

If Matthew had not experienced similar failures and realized deeply that following the old path would not work.

We have also witnessed the resurgence of our own country, standing at the top of the world, and leading people from other places towards a better life and future.

Matthew would not make up his mind to stick to a development path that was in line with the characteristics of the Gulf Territory and the material plane.

The other party may imitate, but will ultimately fail.

When that time really comes, it might get even worse.

Of course, if it really cultivates a group of steadfast personnel, Matthew and the Gulf Leader will be happy to lend a helping hand.

There are always some people or forces that have completely gotten rid of the selfish desire of "fighting with each other" and embarked on a bright future of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" and "growing bigger together".

Unknowingly, the Gulf Territory gradually established cooperative relationships of varying depths with all the combat forces of the Brave Continent.

Various transactions and assistance allowed other forces to gradually stabilize their positions.

They blocked more and more demon armies, gained rich profits, and also trained a strong combat force.

When the relevant news was transmitted back to the northern continent.

More combatants and adventurers also excitedly began to rush to the Continent of Brave.

The amazing harvest here always attracts many people.

When the front was basically stable, they took advantage of the forces from all sides to do business and made huge profits.

The Bay Lord did not stop there, but began to send out special teams to go deeper into the Brave Continent to search for the source of the appearance of the demon army!
"The total number of demons detected has reached 30 so far. The daily loss is about 3, but there are often more on the second day. The growth rate is about 2%."

"It must have a limit, but our defenses and existing combat forces also have limits. It is estimated that after 58 days, we will not be able to suppress the advancing demon army."

"Even with the "blessings" of Lord Lord and Lord Fangya, we can't exceed this number..."

"So, we must find its source and weaken or influence it..."

Every exploration team is well aware of the discussions on this topic.

The Gulf Leader will never conceal the content and purpose of the mission. That will not increase the success rate of the mission, but will create various hidden dangers.

The combatants in the Gulf Territory were not afraid of sacrifice, and they rushed to take on the mission even though they knew it was very dangerous.

They all knew that if they could not completely solve the hidden dangers of these demons.

At the rate they are growing, one day they will threaten the Gulf Territory and everyone's family and friends.

The Gulf Territory did not send out aerial drones or large numbers of flying units.

Most of their actions are carried out slowly and cautiously, and they will not hesitate to go all out until the mission is completed.

At the same time, their direction of advance did not directly follow the movement trajectory of the demon army.

They slowly made their way around, gathering all sorts of information along the way.

“Although it’s dangerous, it’s also a journey to make money.”

"Explore for mineral veins, find resource points, find hidden demon troops, and explore locations where bunkers and outposts can be built..."

Chris, who was looking forward to it, excitedly flipped through the task list, ticking some of the options or filling in detailed information.

They have advanced more than 200 kilometers, found two large mineral veins, four small mineral veins, and built three secret underground gathering places.

Just wait until the task is completed or the target is found, or further action is required.

They will deploy more personnel, send more materials, expand it quickly, and control the surrounding areas.

It only takes two or three hours of effort.

More than three stable and reliable transmission channels will be quickly established along the routes they have selected.

Alice, who was on guard, slowly withdrew her gaze from the huge dragon's nest in the distance.

Alice saw many dangers and possibilities from these semi-deformed flying dragons.

She had collected enough information and samples and had no intention of dealing with it for the time being. She turned her head and looked at Laura who was studying the route of action.

Noticing her taller figure and slightly muscular limbs, Alice smiled and said to her:

"If you want to control your power, releasing is not the key, holding is the most important thing!"

"In the next battle, you can release some power within the corresponding range according to the data prompts."

Hearing this, Laura clenched her fists lightly, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, and replied excitedly:

"I adapted quickly. The Lord's surgical skills are very superb. After a simple adjustment, it is no different from my own strength."

Alice seemed to recall something and nodded with empathy. Seeing the action route she had already drawn, she said expectantly:

"According to Commander Elliot's idea, she must find a powerful enough demon commander this time."

Laura, who also has a deep understanding of demons, licked her lips gently, with an inexplicable sense of anticipation:
"Maybe it's a demon lord. Only they can command so many demons."

After witnessing Elio's fighting strength and performance, Laura understood the potential and various abilities of the Dragon Warrior transformation, and that there are still many areas that can be improved and strengthened.

That kind of direct improvement in strength is enough for Laura to achieve the breakthrough she has always dreamed of.

However, compared with the various situations that we could not get before.

The legendary path that the Bay Leader showed her gave her a stronger purpose and a way to prepare.

Laura now sets her sights not only on the legendary level, but also on something further.

Even on foot, Alice's adventure team advanced very quickly, advancing 80 kilometers a day, and were able to collect enough detailed information to make corresponding arrangements.

They can also obtain the situation on the front battlefield at any time and obtain more accurate information, so as to make more accurate judgments on the situation and adjust the direction and distance of advance as needed.

After 8 days, Alice's adventure team stopped advancing.

Almost everyone stared blankly into the depths of the forest in the distance, their mouths opened involuntarily.

They were all shocked by the scene before them, even the knowledgeable Laura.

She has explored many demiplanes and various ruins.

I have never seen a scene like this before: the sky was torn apart, a big hole was cut in the ground, and the fiery flames and thick smoke were connected together.

Demons like ants and locusts emerged in large numbers and flew everywhere one after another.

They collected and sent information while recording the scenes in front of them.

Chris looked at the large groups of demons being burned to ashes by the terrifying flames, and the rest fled in a panic. He couldn't help but marvel and said with great emotion:

"These demons are really not afraid of death. It's a pity that they didn't run into the hands of our Bay Leader."

They now understand that all kinds of recovery and resurrection abilities require enormous amounts of energy to maintain.

The "blessing" given to them by Lord Lord and Lord Yaya can greatly change this situation.

"The spatial energy reaction is very large, but it is maintained in a small range. The environment here is very special and hides other secrets."

The accompanying Famir gave a "diagnosis" from a super-class arcanist.

She looked at the wonder in the distance in disbelief, and could feel the terrifying power that was almost beyond human control.

However, the demons discovered it and exerted their influence over it.

"Inform the Lord as soon as possible. The demons are not only advancing towards the north of the Brave Continent, but also the south, east and west."

"If there are still organized resistance forces there, let's hope they can hold out a little longer."

"We can use drones to explore there, which should help us find information more quickly."

"Take precautions to conceal yourself. We will need to stay here for a long time."

"..."

During the brief and quick discussion, the hidden members of the adventure team were all doing their respective jobs quickly.

Everyone's face is filled with bright smiles.

Completing this task will definitely earn them an extremely generous reward.

Even including the method of becoming a god! (End of this chapter)
