arcane emperor

The defenseless Mind Flayer Empire naturally suffered a great misfortune.

The Phelin Devil Sunflower has extremely strong destructive power and a terrible impact on the environment. It possesses the ability that scares and frightens the Mind Flayer Empire the most.

"The spell failed!"

While not all spells fail, the few that do are enough to plunge the mind flayer empire into chaos.

The reason is simple. The mind flayers inevitably use large-scale spells to control the slave warriors, and the spells are sustained and permanent.

Even if the Phelin Demon Sunflowers did not launch an attack, the impact of their existence alone would cause most of the slave armies of the Mind Flayer Empire to lose control.

As a result, the slave army, which had been very calm just now, suddenly launched a rebellion.

The pursuit of freedom and revenge is the instinct of all intelligent creatures.

More than 1/10 of the slave warriors were affected, and even many mind flayers were killed in the sudden chaos.

There is no control ability brought by mental magic.

Even though these mind flayers possess other mental spells and powerful combat capabilities, they are just thinking beasts.

The mind flayers, who like to enslave intelligent creatures, inevitably die at the hands of the slaves they control.

The rulers of the Mind Flayer Empire, who were about to gather more troops to cause trouble for the Gulf, learned the news.

The Phalanx is already wreaking havoc in the heart of the Mind Flayer Empire.

They had never imagined that the underground world, which had been silent for thousands of years, still hid such terrible dangers.

Just at this time, this situation was learned by the Gulf Territory's exploration team.

They immediately reported this information to the Gulf Leader.

Upon learning of this situation, Sera raised her eyebrows in joy and decisively proposed several combat plans.

War is not an end but a means to an end.

The real idea of ​​the Lord of the Bay is to let the Mind Flayer Empire continue to fight to the death with the Flinn Demon Sunflower.

They can reap the benefits, learn about the strength and information of both sides, and recruit a large number of slaves from the Mind Flayer Empire.

After accepting the first few batches of slaves from the Mind Flayer Empire, the Gulf Lord discovered that these slave warriors and intelligent creatures were very "obedient".

As long as the stutterers are given a certain degree of freedom, they can be arranged to do whatever they want.

Although they think slowly, learn and grow at an average rate, and they don't even have much potential left.

However, they are very obedient and never cause any trouble. They carry out any tasks and arrangements without any compromise.

This alone is enough to please the big guys in the Gulf.

Even many Gulf Territory staff members suggested that such good reserve subjects should not be allowed to suffer under the enslavement of the Mind Flayers, and that more efforts should be made to liberate them.

Many staff members in the Bay Area are quite interested in these ideas.

However, considering that too much territory is currently occupied, it needs to be digested slowly.

Therefore, we can only make preparations secretly and wait until the time and conditions are ripe before taking action.

Who knew that the Felin Magic Sunflower would suddenly appear.

The chaos in the Mind Flayer Empire naturally gave them an opportunity.

Sera reported the situation to Matthew and waited for Matthew's permission to act.

"However, the operation must be as covert and low-key as possible to avoid causing major action from the Mind Flayer Empire."

Sera agreed with the lord's idea very much, and she herself understood it very well.

Only the power that is truly in your hands, can be commanded like an arm, and can continuously complete the "task" can be considered effective power.

Otherwise, the ever-expanding and powerful force itself will bring about endless internal friction.

The complexity and diversity of this have made Sera study it for a long time.

It was not until the Bay Leader introduced the method of becoming a god that she suddenly woke up.

"Instead of worrying about this, it is better to promote the development of the territory faster so that you can enjoy more benefits."

"If I am lucky enough to take that step, I will have plenty of time to think about it slowly."

The large force did not go out, but instead shrank back towards the material plane.

However, there were a considerable number of smart and capable fighters, who started to take action together with the gray elves and gray dwarves.

The gray dwarves want to take back their own territories and fortresses, as well as the mining areas that would allow them to gain a better foothold, and are willing to attract firepower for the Gulf Territory.

The Lord of the Gulf assisted them in their actions, and while the mind flayers had to take care of many parties, they carried out a thorough investigation to steal their homes.

When the Mind Flayer Empire doesn't know, they will be bolder.

After the Mind Flayer Empire found out, they became a little more unrestrained.

The main point is that I did it anyway, and I will dare to do it again next time.

It just so happens that the style of the Bay Leader is just right to restrain the fearful Mind Flayers.

The fearful Mind Flayer always suspected that the Bay Lord was fishing or setting an ambush.

As for the slave warriors and controlled slaves taken away by the Gulf Leaders, they did not take them too seriously.

There are plenty of slaves in the underground world. They will continue to grow in the time it takes you to take a nap.

This was indeed the case in the past. The areas where the vast majority of slave warriors lived were underground spaces where resources were scarce or extremely dangerous.

They strive to survive and reproduce with all their might, not wanting to disappear.

However, he is completely unable to resist the Mind Flayer and can only be harvested by it again and again.

This cycle of reincarnation and suffering has been going on for thousands and thousands of years.

Originally, it would continue like this.

Until batch after batch of Gulf leaders appeared in the dark and deep underground world.

When they first came into contact with these intelligent creatures, they chose the simplest and most direct way.

In front of them, he killed the mind flayer, whom they regarded as a nightmare.

The Gulf leaders easily gained "rule" and unexpectedly gave them food.

So, the intelligent creatures, having eaten and drunk their fill, simply followed Bay's leader and "left".

Can't beat them, can't escape, can eat enough.

These intelligent creatures, who had no wisdom inheritance but still knew how to think, very simply chose a "new boss".

Their thoughts were simple and plain. Even if they could never go back and might die tomorrow, at least they had eaten their fill...

Intelligent creatures from one tribe after another were easily taken away by the Gulf Leaders.

Even because they are so efficient and fast in leading people.

Sera had to speed up the arrangement of more large-scale teleportation arrays and transportation routes.

The Mind Flayer Empire, which knew nothing about the actions of the Gulf Lords, had to take a defensive stance in the face of the threat of the advancing gray dwarves and Gulf Lords' combat forces.

When they defended, they actually gave up a larger territory.

Thus, with both parties having a very good "understanding", the "liberation team" sent by the Gulf leader marched deeply into various parts of the Mind Flayer Empire.

In just half a month, more than 130 million intelligent creatures were liberated by the Gulf Lords.

What's even more interesting is that these intelligent creatures who were living a miserable life under the control of the mind flayer suddenly discovered all kinds of garbage and waste that they usually looked down upon.

It became a treasure that allowed them to eat meat at every meal and enjoy every meal.

All the materials they use in their daily lives or hunt and gather are magical items of excellent quality.

The Gulf Lord only charged a portion of the processing fee, and made these intelligent creatures wealthy.

They can fit into the bay collar with more ease and comfort.

Of course, the "wealth" brought by these intelligent creatures also made the Gulf Territory's operatives very happy.

The wealth of intelligent creatures naturally belongs to them.

But we discovered resource points along the way and found various minerals and rare metal veins.

It is enough for them to obtain even more amazing gains than the already generous mission rewards.

Some of the more active-minded members of the Gulf Action Team are not yet "looking down" on the little gains they have found.

He decisively applied for and purchased unmanned fully automatic mining equipment, and took a group of professional partners with him to secretly go to the target area.

They quietly sent these small devices to the resource points and started working directly in the mines and veins.

These unmanned automatic mining equipment have basically all advantages except for the "disadvantage" of costing up to 100 million gold coins.

It makes little noise and is completely silent, making it almost impossible to be noticed.

This is very important. No one wants the resource points they discovered to be stolen by their peers or picked up by the Mind Flayer.

The speed is fast, the output is high, and the return on investment is fast.

As long as it is a magic mineral vein, even if it is an elementary one, it will pay back in just three months.

Low failure rate, self-maintenance, continuous working life of more than 5 years.

Even if one or two small mineral veins are hollowed out and not much profit is made, the site can be quickly changed and new mines can be mined in time.

Of course, some adventurers who have discovered large mineral veins may feel "dissatisfied" with their efficiency.

In response to their special needs, the Gulf Research Institute is happy to develop corresponding "new products" for them.

At the same time, news of the Gulf Territory's development of the underground world quickly spread throughout the northern continent.

The various gains and exciting examples attracted more and more adventurers to join.

Even many lords and nobles completely gave up other ideas and thoughts.

They prepared more manpower and talents for the teams and groups that originally led the adventure in the bay.

Some small lords and nobles who are keen on adventure or want to go further even go to the Bay Territory to participate in the adventure personally.

As the Gulf Leader demonstrates its strength time and time again, it uses various means to carry out publicity and announcements.

The Gulf Territory's strong strength and fair and friendly image have gained a good reputation throughout the entire northern continent.

Especially the Gulf Territory, the Kor Elf Kingdom and other large forces are different.

Not only does the Bay Territory not reject the arrival of adventurers and other personnel, it is even willing to provide a certain amount of supplies and rewards to those who arrive.

Not to mention the various knowledge and training channels provided by the Gulf Territory, which has attracted more and more adventurers and professionals.

Under such circumstances, the Gulf region has attracted more manpower and talents.

There are also more and more adventurers and civilians joining the Gulf Territory through various means.

Living in troubled times, if you really have to choose a place to settle down, then choose the most capable side!

In the Catachan demiplane, Matthew, who was practicing various legendary spells, received news from the Mind Flayer Empire.

He silently looked at the information about Feilin Mokui, but finally suppressed the urge to find out the truth and focused on improving his own strength.

He and the Gulf Lord do not have as much capital as the Kor elves and the elven gods.

Therefore, he must be more careful and cautious, and continue to work hard after choosing the right direction.

In addition to working hard to improve his strength, Matthew also has to invest the extra power of destiny into another crucial research.

Replica of Mysera's Core!
Why not just create the Core of Mysera?
Although its manufacturing process is very difficult and requires massive amounts of resources, there is also a huge gap in rare metals such as thorium, which has extremely low production but accounts for a very large proportion, that needs to be solved.

However, the Gulf Territory now has a huge territory comparable to a principality, a trade capacity of more than 30 billion gold coins per month, and resources that are continuously produced and collected from all over the world.

Matthew is confident that it will take more than ten years to complete a breakthrough in the production process of the Miserable Core.

However, Matthew was unwilling to do so.

The reason lies in the nearly unlimited energy supply of the Miserable Core!

That's right!

I have personally touched it, analyzed it, understood its principles, and installed and used it.

Matthew, on the contrary, became quite wary of the extremely powerful energy supplier, the Core of Misera.

The principle of the Core of Misera is to establish a connection with the energy supply deep in the magic network and extract energy from it continuously.

To be precise, the Core of Misera serves more as a connection rather than a source of energy.

Under normal circumstances, as long as there are no destructive influences and fluctuations in the Deep Demon Web, the Core of Miserable can operate healthily and stably.

However, what is about to happen is an extraordinary "destruction"!
Before the elemental tide arrived, Matthew tried to communicate with the Goddess of Magic to discuss the next developments for both parties.

After all, Matthew's previous "cooperation" with the Goddess of Magic was relatively pleasant.

Before the Gulf Territory has its own gods, building relatively good friendly relations is always better than hostility.

At least, paying "protection fees" to apply for force support is better than failing in battle.

Matthew also didn't want the relatively easy-going magic goddess to fall.

The loss of its power will inevitably lead to the increase in the strength of other gods.

Once the goddess of magic dies, the horrific shock it brings will inevitably affect the situation in the deep magic network.

In this way, on the day known as the "Day of Destruction of the Netheril Empire", there will be the horrifying scene of the floating city falling from the sky.

The ensuing energy release and riots completely destroyed most of the territory of the Netherese Empire.

Without considering other aspects, just to save more people of Netheril, the Gulf Territory needs to continue to increase its development efforts.

Matthew also needs a core device that can replace the Core of Misera and provide sufficient energy source for the floating city.

Compared to transmitting energy directly from the magic network, Matthew is more accustomed to the stimulation and birth of energy in this way, which is all in his own hands.

Compared to other energy cores, Matthew, who sees the floating fortress more as a weapon, prefers strange creations like the elemental fusion engine.

The word "fusion" alone is enough to make Matthew devote a lot of energy to it.

Matthew, who had conducted in-depth research, naturally understood the basic principles and structure of the element fusion engine.

Its "fusion" process uses magic to achieve the effect, rather than releasing the power inside the fusion of matter!

Because of this, Matthew, who realized that there was great room and potential for improvement, decided to delve into this area.

If it succeeds, it can also replace the Core of Misera.

So, he wanted to present all the giant mechanical creations that existed only in his imagination before Matthew traveled through time.
