arcane emperor

After receiving the news, Elio immediately started the preparatory procedures that had been set up long ago.

The mighty Gulf leader army quickly reaches the target area by various means, including riding mechanical flying dragons, taking teleportation arrays, and building ground roads.

The advancement of the Gulf Territory is not only to transport troops, but also to build a better defense line.

What the Gulf Leader is best at is fighting in the battlefields and environments that they have built.

To fight against the huge, continuous and extremely threatening army of demons.

The usual lines of defense are of no avail.

The reason is simple. Although most demons' wings cannot be used for flying, they can only be used for gliding.

However, in these rolling mountains, even just gliding can greatly improve their maneuverability.

The Gulf Leader has always liked to do a lot of auxiliary work that seems to have nothing to do with the battlefield.

Excellent weapons and equipment, various transport vehicles, various logistical supplies, and a larger number of combat personnel.

Having advantages over the enemy in all aspects, even if the average combat power is temporarily not as strong as the opponent's, you can rely on your strong comprehensive ability to easily crush the opponent.

This was true against the trolls, it was equally effective against the orcs, and it was even easier to win against the army of mind flayers. Now everyone was full of confidence as they had to fight against the army of demons.

"Demons have extremely strong abilities to pollute and seduce. The duration of continuous combat should not exceed three hours. Psychological counseling is required after the battle..."

"Each demon has its own weak spot. If you destroy their weak spots, you can easily win..."

"You must use a variety of methods to fight against demons. Close combat is the most effective, but also the most dangerous. If your strength is lower than the super level and your combat power rating is lower than 300, you should avoid close combat with them as much as possible..."

"The Gulf Territory is happy to provide various trainings, including but not limited to specialties, skills, spells, and secret techniques. Improvement and strengthening in all aspects..."

The various information and tasks brought considerable gains to these adventurers and fighters.

They can feel their strength growing, their experience gradually enriching, their knowledge accumulating rapidly, and their wallets becoming thicker.

Of course, all of this is closely related to the Gulf Territory.

If they follow the footsteps of the Gulf Leader, they will be able to obtain all these beautiful things.

If you want to leave, you will return to the original restricted environment.

Such a huge gap would be hard for them to accept.

After they received the order to advance from the Gulf Lord, although they felt that the Gulf Lord's ideas were a bit crazy and the plan was a bit bold, they still followed suit.

There is no way, the Gulf has given too much!

The flying troops arrived first.

They adopted the highest level of stealth mode, bringing the entire sky under surveillance and control, but did not launch a rash attack.

They also noticed the deep rift that connected heaven and earth, and even though they were very curious, they had no intention of exploring or trying to understand it.

When facing the unknown, you must remain vigilant and careful.

More battle plans and more appropriate battlefield plans were quickly finalized during the transmission of information and discussion.

The people who arrived later rushed to the underground transmission area 80 kilometers outside the abyss rift.

In addition to the powerful Dragon Warrior Squad, the largest number of people are the engineering team staff.

They want to expand the underground space and transform it into an underground fortress to connect to more transmission channels.

Compared to the previous method of relying on kobolds and gnolls for underground digging.

Although they are still used now, the tools used are completely different.

They wear multifunctional mechanical armor and use small magical excavators with their own space, which can remove 50 cubic meters of soil and sand every hour.

In just half a day, they dug out a huge underground space that was 1 kilometer long, 80 kilometer wide and meters high.

They then carried out a comprehensive and solid renovation of the six flat earth or stone walls.

Bigo, who was in charge of this engineering task, directed the engineering troops to assemble the miniaturized "Taotie's Stomach" heavy loader.

He also very seriously warned the new staff to ensure that they could meet his requirements:

"While converting the magic cement, we also need to put in the metal structure and arrange the forbidden magic array. In the middle, we also need to arrange a "death" aura generator to prevent pollution and corruption..."

The various requirements basically meet the highest standards of construction in the Gulf Territory.

Although it is very cumbersome and troublesome, it represents Bay Leader's high pursuit of quality and safety.

All staff will be very serious and careful, and will take the initiative to apply for inspections to ensure that all work is completed to the best of their ability.

It is thanks to their silent efforts and dedication that the Gulf Command was able to quickly complete the deployment of its troops.

More and more staff, soldiers and combatants quickly transformed and occupied the surrounding area.

Based on the various commands sent jointly from the control center and the command center, they quickly cleared out threatening targets in the surrounding area and developed valuable areas at a rapid pace.

In just one day, three transportation routes from the north of the Brave Continent to the center of the continent were built.

The extremely powerful construction capabilities and outstanding force projection capabilities made everyone else involved feel incredible.

However, they had no time to think about it, as many active demon hunting missions soon kept them busy.

The Gulf Leader will never passively defend, taking the initiative is the best option.

The vast flames, the continuous explosions, the constantly designed ambushes, and the quickly dispatched support.

The core is transportation channels, fortresses and strongholds.

Hundreds of combat troops are hunting down the surrounding demons.

They were impatient, ruthless and extremely efficient.

The most crucial reason is that after they kill these demons, they can get very generous rewards by collecting various materials from these demons.

The relevant detailed information and price list were publicly released by the Gulf Leader in the magic watches of every combatant:
"Devil's horn, the raw material for making war horns, ornaments, and statues."

"Price: Primary 20 gold coins per piece, Intermediate 300 gold coins per piece, Advanced 2500 gold coins per piece, Super 2 gold coins per piece, Legendary 20 gold coins per piece!"

"Demon Heart, the raw material for making strength potions, physical potions, corruption potions, sublimation potions, purification potions and many other advanced potions."

"Price: Primary level 100 gold coins per piece, Intermediate level 1000 gold coins per piece, Advanced level 1 gold coins per piece, Super level 10 gold coins per piece, Legend level 100 gold coins per piece."

"Devil's blood essence, the raw material for making physical potions, super life potions, corrosion potions and many other potions. It can also be used to make high-level magic ink..."

"price……"

"A complete demon skeleton, used to create undead puppets and flesh golems..."

"price……"

"Devil's back skin..."

"..."

"Living demon..."

"..."

After seeing these demonic materials, the extremely exaggerated prices, and the Gulf Leader's promise not to lower the price, almost all the combatants were excited and thrilled.

They have a stronger motivation to hunt demons better and more efficiently.

The reason why the Gulf Territory offered such a high price was not only to stimulate everyone's desire and enthusiasm for fighting, but also to eliminate more demons and obtain more demon materials and resources.

It is also for the purpose of better selling the various equipment and combat supplies produced by the Gulf Territory.

With the current production capacity of the Gulf Territory, even if one piece of material is purchased at such a high price, it can successfully produce 4 pieces of goods of the same price.

Even after deducting the high production costs, Gulf Leader's profit is still over 200%.

Various production tasks can also quickly improve the production capacity of the Gulf Territory and further strengthen the production status of the entire territory.

At the same time, most of the materials produced will be supplied to the Gulf Territory’s own fighters and adventurers.

Used to quickly improve their strength, enhance their combat capabilities, and enhance their combat experience.

Those combatants and adventurers who have reaped great rewards will also be willing to pay more money to purchase various weapons and equipment produced by the Gulf Territory.

Because only in this way can they hunt demons faster and with higher efficiency, while better ensuring their own safety.

In this way, the huge gold coin reward provided by the Gulf Territory was taken back again, forming a wonderful complete circle.

The adventurers became stronger, their equipment became better, and their savings increased.

The soldiers who participated in the war became more experienced, had more spoils, and their combat capabilities were further improved.

The productivity of the Gulf Territory has developed, the demon danger has been eliminated, the newly built fortresses and cities are safe, the accumulated materials have increased, and the people have received better returns from development resources.

Everyone wins!
A world where only demons are hurt has been achieved!

This is a routine that is very familiar to adventurers and combatants, and it brings them greater surprises time and time again.

Such a big move by the Gulf Territory naturally attracted the attention of many lords and nobles.

They quickly got to know the situation here, but the little information they received made them feel at a loss.

"Has the Gulf Lord found the source of the demon army? And is he waging war against it?"

"It's not just a war going on. At least 20 combatants have been mobilized..."

"I also heard that the Gulf Territory has established multiple transportation channels and is continuously transporting supplies there."

"It's far more than that. Haven't you noticed? The number of demons has decreased significantly in the past two days. I guess it's the work of the Gulf Lord..."

"I think so too. We can't do without fighting. Should we push the front line forward?"

"We don't have that many people and troops. Even though these demons died so quickly, it was entirely due to the Gulf Territory's weapons and defensive combat advantages..."

"In a field battle, even if our combat troops have been strengthened and upgraded, we may not be able to defeat those demons..."

"What the Gulf Territory can do, we may not be able to do..."

"..."

Everyone discussed it very intensely, but there was no result of the plan that they really wanted to implement.

In fact, they all do some calculations.

In the current situation, with the Bay Leader leading the way, they can make money in peace and digest the improvements they had previously obtained, which basically solves most of the problems.

So why bother sending valuable personnel to participate in wars and operations that are clearly led by the Gulf leaders?
If the Gulf Territory is developed smoothly and becomes profitable.

If they join together later, they will also gain the same benefits.

To put it simply, the Gulf leaders lead the way and they pick up the ready-made ones from behind.

The previous cooperation with the Gulf Leader was indeed pleasant, but when it comes to issues of interests, they have always been very clear about the differences!
Even if the reclamation of the Gulf Territory fails, they can arrange the next step depending on the situation.

If the Gulf Leader and the enemy are both defeated, they can "turn the tide" and "gain the benefits".

If the Gulf Lords were defeated and the enemy was unstoppable, they could also retreat early to avoid greater losses.

Not taking reckless risks is the reason why they have been able to be passed down and grow stronger.

Just when they were about to hold back.

The pre-war preparations for the Gulf Territory have basically been completed.

Under Elio's instructions, the combat forces have dispatched a new type of Hummingbird unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft, which has quietly sneaked into the edge of the abyss rift.

Through the real-time transmission of images, all commanders could clearly see that the number of demons emerging from the abyss rifts was actually far more than everyone's previous guesses and calculations.

"Every day, at least 15 demons emerge from this abyss rift, but most of them are burned to ashes by the terrifying flames."

Elio narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to tell everyone the researchers' calculation results:

"Considering the fluctuations in the surrounding space power and the obvious regularity of the flame trajectory."

"The research department calculated that there is a powerful energy source in the middle of the abyss rift."

"The commander of this demon army invasion should be there!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone saw the drone, using the chaotic flames around it as cover, quickly flying towards the center and bottom of the abyss rift.

Because of the rampage and interference of various energies, the images transmitted back were not as clear as before.

However, everyone could also clearly see that many demons who were flapping their wings hard were burned to ashes by the continuous flames.

One after another, twisted space cracks appear and disappear from time to time.

From time to time, an unlucky demon would bump into it and be cut into two halves or more pieces very smoothly.

The scenes before my eyes were gradually surrounded by increasingly raging flames.

"Threatening high temperatures detected, now activating emergency detection function, full speed ahead!"

Clear prompts appear on the screen.

The drone, which was originally flying slowly under the control of the computing center, suddenly accelerated and plunged into the depths of the abyss.

The dancing flames are as raging as a sea of ​​fire.

The "picture" suffered great distortion and damage, but it still stubbornly insisted on moving forward.

Until it collided with a raging fire, and the last fleeting scene froze on the display screen.

"Balor Flame Demon?"

All the commanders subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Elliot, whose body was glowing red and had beautiful yet terrifying lines emerging. They vaguely heard the great interest in her tone.

Everyone immediately knew that a new combat mission was coming.

"How to kill a demigod-level being?"

"Kill a Balrog!"
