Chapter 535: Advance Rehearsal (8000 Monthly Tickets Required)

Matthew did not block the news.

After all, some Catachans have not yet thought about joining the Gulf Territory.

Matthew never doubted the "ambition" of intelligent creatures.

However, Matthew also knew that he would not let such ambitions go and destroy his overall plan.

Other times, it was okay. Fighting for ambitions could be blown into a hymn of conquest and expansion.

Now, the elemental tide is coming.

The main material plane, which has been hungry for a long time, will release the restrictions of the crystal wall that protects itself and have a vigorous "growth".

At the same time, the tentacles that extend in will also become deadly claws.

Tear up huge gaps in the main material plane to accommodate those with stronger power.

The evil god is about to revive, and evil creatures will return to the earth.

Natural disasters are coming, and catastrophes are repeated.

The whole world is running out of time, and Matthew is naturally not interested in playing the killing game of fighting for hegemony with them.

Many Catachan soldiers who heard the news were very excited and began to discuss with their companions around them.

"I didn't expect that Catachan demons would pass by us. I wonder how many will come this time..."

"It's hard to say. We can only see how big the noise is this time."

"If we are strong enough, we can kill one before they arrive, and then we can scare away the other Catachan demons."

"That's true. These monsters are very strong, but they are very timid. As long as they are fatally threatened, they will run away."

"If you ask me, there is nothing to worry about this time. We are not like before..."

"Don't be arrogant. It's only been a few days since I became a professional. I haven't even integrated my combat skills yet. , don't always think about dying. "

"Hehe, how can that be possible? Even if you have mastered Dou Qi, you are still far from being able to use it freely. Going to the jungle to adventure now is not looking for death, right? "

"If the Catachan demons really come, as long as you can kill one or two, you can get a batch of excellent weapons and armor. "

"That's right. In the past, even if a leader killed a Catachan demon, at most he could only bring back a small amount of things and make one or two ghost swords. "

"It's different..."

"..."

Compared to the optimism of ordinary Catachan soldiers, Thorne, who was honing his Dou Qi application skills, pretended that he didn't hear it.

Dou Qi slowly injected into the ghost sword, feeling its very smooth operation, Thorne could clearly feel that better weapons were amplifiers of "power".

It's hard to imagine what kind of combat power those powerful adventurers in the world where the Bay Territory is located can have.

Putting aside the mixed thoughts in his mind, Thorne recalled the current situation of the "Hope" Castle, and the communicator on his waist sent a summoning message.

Thorn winked at the trainer, asking him to supervise the soldiers and continue training, and then walked towards the office.

He had adapted to the convenience provided by various magic props. Catachans are best at using various tools.

They never believe in dogma, and use whatever is useful.

This was forced by death.

As soon as he entered the office, Thorn saw Ji Fan explaining the news about Catachan demons.

Thorn sat down quietly and behaved very quietly. When he heard the detailed information mentioned by Ji Fan, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Evaluation: A distorted evolution that is out of control.

"As you can see, Catachan demons have very strong combat capabilities in the wild. If you encounter them alone, you rarely have a chance of winning."

"So, our strategy is simple. Try to avoid them and don't fight them in the jungle."

"They are also social creatures to a certain extent. It is easy to surround and kill one and attract many, so we need to choose a suitable battlefield."

"You can notice that their defense is not good, so we need to increase our investment in attack..."

It is different from the battle discussion that Thorn imagined.

The Gulf Territory did not make combat arrangements against a single Catachan demon.

"Won't the Gulf Lord send out individuals with very strong single combat power to cooperate with the elite team to eliminate the Catachan demons?"

"You know, the Catachan demons' defense is not very strong, but their size is huge, and ordinary soldiers can't hurt them at all..."

After listening for a while, Thorn understood it.

The Gulf Lord's army's combat method is completely different from that of the Catachan tribe.

The Catachan tribe's combat method is more to send elite personnel into the jungle, wander around and hunt, and eliminate the enemy bit by bit.

When dealing with small-scale enemies, the Catachan tribe's tactics can be said to be invincible.

With excellent jungle combat capabilities, the enemy will be killed in the jungle that is very suitable for ambush before even approaching the Catachan tribe's castle.

However, the Catachan tribe's combat method has a huge flaw.

With excellent mobility and ambush capabilities, they often need more time to eliminate their opponents when facing a large number of enemies.

If they have time and space, they can weaken the enemy bit by bit and slowly eliminate the enemy.

However, when the enemy came to the castle of the Catachan tribe and fought a life-and-death battle with them.

Their disadvantage of being small in number was undoubtedly revealed.

More than 1/3 of the Catachan warriors died in the attack and defense of the castle.

This is a huge casualty.

It is also because of this that when Thorn heard that the soldiers of the Gulf Territory would take over the defense of the castle, he chose to agree.

Thorn listened carefully to Ji Fan's discussion of the battle plan, took out the paper and pen distributed by the Gulf Territory, and wrote it down with crooked words.

"Paper and words are conducive to the inheritance of experience, and future generations will become stronger and stronger."

Thorn was deeply touched by this.

He had seen many amazing Catachan hunters and warriors, and many amazing fighting skills and stunts.

However, with their deaths, those skills and experiences that had only appeared after spending so much effort and encountering so many coincidences disappeared.

The Gulf Territory's attitude towards various experiences and fighting skills made Thorn both happy and fortunate.

No matter what the future of Catachan and the Gulf Territory will be, the knowledge he has learned will not be false, and the power he has gained will not disappear.

Retracting his gaze from the training ground.

Matthew carefully recorded the current attributes and data of the Catachan soldiers.

Yaya, who was sitting on his shoulder and browsing the data, showed a little surprise in her eyes:

"Ah, in just over a month, they have basically become professionals, and the average professional level has even increased by 3 levels."

"This talent in combat is really very strong!"

Yaya is no different from before. After experiencing the baptism of two or three hundred surgeries, learning a lot of knowledge and techniques, and browsing a lot of data and summaries.

Her knowledge of flesh and blood has grown to a high level.

For real dragons, the only thing that restricts their rapid growth is their own personality and emotions.

When they want to learn, they can easily digest any knowledge.

Because of this, Matthew is so vigilant about the upcoming Mad Dragon Maze.

In his memory and impression, this time the terrifying "Mad Dragon Disaster" was unbearable even for real dragons.

The Gulf Territory made some preparations, but in Matthew's opinion, this was far from enough.

The arrival of these Catachan demons just gave Matthew a chance to "test" them.

"They do have potential, but just learning to fight is far from meeting my requirements."

Recalling the training and learning tasks that Matthew assigned to the Thunder Warriors, Yaya nodded with a sympathetic heart, and after a slight turn of his eyes, he asked tentatively:

"Will all future warriors learn and improve in culture?"

Matthew didn't know Yaya's little abacus, and even if he knew, he would only laugh and continue to answer calmly:

"Yes, they will learn more in the future, understand their opponents, weapons, equipment, and themselves. Future wars will no longer be simply chopping each other with big knives."

Recalling the various war weapons prepared by the Gulf Territory, Yaya nodded thoughtfully, and said with great anticipation:

"Can you assign me some tasks for the research and development of the next operation?"

Eh?

This is wrong!

He looked at Yaya with some suspicion. For this little guy who always wanted to be lazy, Matthew took a lot of effort to discipline him.

However, since Yaya had made the request, Matthew would naturally agree. In her expectant eyes, he smiled and said:

"Okay, start with your best stomach!"

Yaya's eyes lit up, and her doubts immediately disappeared. She nodded excitedly, and put on an attitude of "If you have any tasks, just give them to me."

In fact, this little guy was already very happy.

"Hehe, I can find another excuse to eat a lot of delicious food."

Matthew's face was also full of smiles, smiling in his heart.

Just to save me from wasting my breath...

November 20.

Bay Territory.

Bay City.

The soldiers lined up neatly and walked out of the barracks under the gaze of countless eyes.

Before they came out, the Lord's Mansion had already issued a notice:

"In order to deal with the possible dangerous effects of the "Mad Dragon Lock."

"In order to protect the safety of the territory, the people, and the development results."

"The Gulf Territory will enter level two alert status from now on."

"The Gulf Leadership Army will clean up all dragon-blooded creatures in the territory."

Although the news was short-lived, it caused quite a stir in the territory.

After more than three months of fermentation.

The "Crazy Dragon Mystery Lock" that has been circulated as gossip has been officially confirmed as a threat by the Lord's Mansion.

This made many Gulf Territory residents feel quite curious.

They have occasionally seen the big moves and gains made by adventurers these days.

Now, it has attracted great attention from the territory, which naturally makes them more interested.

A considerable portion of the onlookers were actually very interested in the soldiers.

After all, many people have just arrived in the Gulf Territory.

They have heard of many glorious deeds of Gulf Territory soldiers and learned about the extremely high treatment of Gulf Territory soldiers.

There were even many who had participated in the assessment but were ruthlessly screened out.

seeing is believing.

You have to take a good look at it today.

As soldiers lined up took to the streets.

The sound of uniform footsteps was like rolling thunder.

The uniform uniforms and armor give people a shocking and shocking feeling.

His solemn and solemn expression was different from his usual generosity.

The huge momentum of the whole place gives everyone an indestructible sense of sight.

The whole street was silent, and everyone felt a little excited.

Many citizens looked at the familiar faces and the earth-shaking changes that had happened to them, and their feelings of envy were unspeakable.

Increase cohesion and advertise for recruitment.

That's why Matthew asked them to appear together.

Everyone was very motivated to become official soldiers of the Gulf Territory, and many gave their all during the weekend training.

However, Matthew will naturally not forget to give them some psychological construction and "motivate" them from time to time.

The effect is very significant.

Matthew saw the envious looks in the eyes of countless people from the Territory, and also saw the shocked expressions of many new people who joined the Gulf Territory.

He turned around and said to Angela, who was getting ready to go:

"This sweep is an advance practice for us to face the disaster of the mad dragon."

"Let soldiers and commanders do their best to do their best, praise and strengthen their strengths, and correct and make up for their shortcomings..."

Angela, who was full of confidence, nodded calmly and replied in a firm tone:

"Understood, promise to complete the task."

The dispatch of the Gulf Leading Army caused such a big commotion, which naturally attracted the attention and attention of many people.

Quite a few lords feel that the Gulf Territory is making a fuss out of a molehill.

"It's not like I haven't experienced the Dragon Mystery Lock before. The last time was just 50 years ago. What happened?"

"Haha, I happened to be 18 years old at that time, and I still killed a large number of kobolds."

"Tsk, tsk, if you ask me, the Gulf Territory is just a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking."

"Oh? What do you mean? Is the Gulf Leader acting for us?"

"It's most likely like this. You just want to show your strength and warn us..."

"That's possible. Now that he's being blocked, doesn't he have to show off his fangs? Otherwise, more than just pirates will show up..."

"Haha, this makes sense..."

"However, let me tell you, these soldiers in the Gulf Territory are indeed quite good."

"All professional soldiers, tens of thousands of sets of enchanted weapons and equipment, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Such a large amount of resources must have emptied the Gulf Territory's family fortune, and maybe even the Seer family's vitality has been severely damaged."

"According to my opinion, the Gulf Territory should have more than this purpose. They mobilized nearly 30,000 soldiers, and it is definitely not for the so-called mopping up dragon-blooded creatures."

"Could it be that? What purpose did they do this to cover up? Did they find something good in the dark forest?"

"What else can there be in that damn place besides a lot of trolls?"

"That's not necessarily true. There is a real dragon in the Gulf Territory. Maybe we can really find some mineral veins..."

"Indeed, the Dark Forest is still very rich in products. I heard that a considerable part of the steel in the Gulf Territory is produced by itself..."

"We don't care what they think. We only know that the Gulf Territory was frightened by the Dragon Mystery Lock!"

"Haha, I think so too..."

"Then let's pass it on..."

"..."

In the conference room of an aristocratic club in Severnton, there was continuous laughter.

In less than two days, the Gulf Territory's overreaction to the Dragon Mystique immediately spread throughout most of the Netheril Empire.

Not only the nobles were spreading the news, but many people also heard about it.

Naturally, most of the people followed suit and laughed at the behavior of the Gulf Territory.

Some people think that they are making money under the guise.

Some people think they are cleaning out the kobolds.

Some people think that Gulf people are afraid of death.

All in all, people who are breathless and oppressed by life always like to see a more unlucky guy appear in their eyes.

Only in this way will their psychology be balanced.

A situation that was once unbearably bad no longer seemed so sad.

Invisibly, they lowered their bottom line for resistance and change, and silently began to endure it again.

However, thanks to the propaganda of the lords, the name of the Gulf Territory gradually spread throughout the Netheril Empire, among the major territories and the people.

Who doesn't know how to make fun of the "territory that fears death"?

The situation outside the territory naturally cannot interfere with the army of the Gulf Territory.

They are divided into large and small combat units.

Organized by their respective commanders, they select corresponding tasks and targets and quickly execute tasks.

So, a real sweep was launched in all parts of the Gulf Territory.

In addition to various dragon-blooded creatures, unstable factors such as kobolds, gnolls and trolls, as well as barbarian wanderers, also suffered in the sweep.

Most of the kobolds will be captured.

The reward for capturing them is much higher than the reward for killing them.

The purpose of doing this is also to quickly expand the population of kobolds in the territory.

As the number of kobolds increases, the various contributions they make are also obvious to everyone.

Gnolls are usually killed.

Because they are strong, if you want to achieve the real purpose of training soldiers, it is just right to choose them as opponents.

Although the jackals have good physique, they are far inferior to the soldiers of the Gulf Territory in terms of weapons and equipment and overall combat capabilities.

The resistance of the jackals often allows the soldiers of the Gulf Territory to enjoy themselves without causing much casualties.

It is precisely because of their situation that they are neither up nor down that they suffered a big misfortune in this sweep.

Of course, the various magical creatures encountered later also caused a lot of trouble for the soldiers of the Gulf Territory.

No creature will sit and wait for death.

Even a mosquito can sacrifice its life before being slapped to death and bite a tube of blood.

Not to mention the magical creatures with fangs and sharp teeth.

Casualties are inevitable, but fortunately, before the action, the Gulf Territory was fully prepared and minimized the casualties of the soldiers.

At the same time, the various gains brought by the battle are also constantly improving the combat morale of the soldiers.

Rewards after defeating the enemy.

The value of certain magical plants and magical creatures.

The surprise of finding some metal veins or magic resource points.

The Gulf leader army, which has joined many new recruits, has gradually improved its strength in this battle and sweep.

Soldiers who have seen blood can usually quickly integrate the gains from training and transform them into nutrients for their growth.

For those who cannot adapt, the Gulf leader will not force them, anyway, there are many places in the Gulf leader where their abilities can be used.

The soldiers made such a big noise.

The newly established propaganda and broadcasting team will naturally not miss this good opportunity to increase publicity.

How many jackals have been wiped out by a certain division and a certain regiment, and how many jackal camps have been destroyed.

Which unit has captured dozens of troll remnants and received a reward of three or four thousand gold coins.

Which soldiers fought bravely, achieved outstanding achievements and rewards, and received promotions in their positions.

Many news of victory.

Not only has it become a topic of conversation for the people after dinner.

It has also greatly enhanced their confidence and sense of belonging to the Gulf leader.

Especially for the newly joined refugees, the Gulf Territory has a powerful army, which gives them an indescribable sense of security.

They settled down at a faster speed and integrated into the life of the Gulf Territory.

It was not until this time that Butler Ralph suddenly realized.

Although the army consumed a lot of supplies, it was really insignificant compared to the many benefits obtained.

In addition to the ordinary army of the Gulf Territory.

Those stronger elite teams also have their own different tasks.

Some are involved in hunting dragon blood biological communities.

Some are preparing to capture large dragon blood creatures.

Others are specifically responsible for clearing the hidden dangers of magical creatures in the territory.

They are stronger, better equipped, and naturally more effective in combat.

Even some dangerous creatures in the underground world.

It seems that they have also noticed the attitude of the Gulf Territory and the elite soldiers, and either choose to escape or retreat deeper.

Those who have no such awareness or are stupid have become the bounty and spoils of the elite soldiers of the Gulf Territory.

In addition to them, the Thunder Squad, which has been trained for a long time, has also been sent to the Catachan plane.

Looking at the excited faces, Matthew couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that the establishment of a staff to command operations should be put on the agenda.

Although he thought so, it didn't mean that Matthew would give up the command of the Thunder Squad.

For now, this powerful and special force can only be held in his own hands.

Corrupted jungle.

A faint stench floated in the air.

Even experienced Catachan hunters must hold their breath carefully at this moment.

There are many ways for the many deadly bacteria in the jungle to invade their bodies.

The harmless ones will slip away after eating and drinking.

Needless to say, the deadly ones, nutritious corpses, can become a breeding ground for their growth.

However, compared with the past, it is not an absolutely safe "homemade method".

The gas masks provided by the Gulf Territory helped them solve this problem very well.

It was just a habit.

However, when the Catachan hunter leading the way in front made a gesture of stopping in fear.

Gatel immediately reacted and said calmly:

"Found the enemy's traces, pay attention to disperse and hide."

The Catachan hunters couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the majestic figures behind Gatel.

Even though the Thunder Warriors were hidden under their cloaks, their sturdy physiques and powerful momentum still made the Catachan hunters feel quite frightened.

The busy Thunder Warriors quickly set up various traps around.

Gatel didn't expect these traps to cause much trouble to the extremely dangerous Catachan demons.

However, the noise of these traps being triggered was enough to inform everyone of his situation.

After confirming that the soldiers were all hidden, Gatel came to Sera and Matthew to report the current situation to them.

Touching his chin, Matthew winked at Sera, who was very quiet beside him, and said in a firm tone:

"If it is not necessary, I will not choose to take action. This is to train the soldiers' combat capabilities..."

"Of course, if there are Catachan demons that are not planned, Yaya and I will temporarily delay them and buy time for you to resolve the battle."

Sera, who heard this, naturally felt a lot of pressure, but she did not feel nervous because of it, and showed a confident smile.

The subtle rustling sound was like the friction of fallen leaves.

The slowly moving earth slope moved towards the direction where the blood smell was the strongest.

The Catachan demons hiding under the land tried their best to hide the traces that might be exposed in order to hunt.

It took nearly two hours to climb to the place where the blood smell was the strongest at a distance of more than 100 meters.

The few white and tender big fat pigs had lost their voices at this time.

The gap in the belly was exuding an unprecedented attraction for the Catachan demons.

But even without noticing the enemy's presence, the Catachan demon still "slowly" moved from under the surface.

Sera, who noticed the enemy's trace, was not ready to act immediately.

She gave a few instructions to the attendant beside her.

Soon, the Thunder Warriors of the follow-up troops had quietly circled a large circle.

"No trace of other Catachan demons was found."

After receiving this news, Gatl's eyes flashed with a bright light.

A bright smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Do it!"

Before the Catachan demon opened his mouth to bite the pork hanging in the air.

He had already aimed the dragon hunting crossbow and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

The spinning crossbow arrow flew through the soil layer and accurately pierced into the back of the Catachan demon.

After a new round of improved special crossbow arrows, the moment they broke through the Catachan demon's defense, they suddenly burst into flashing thunder.

"Roar...!"

The intense pain and the vague danger made the Catachan demon roar subconsciously.

There is no doubt that this terrifying monster is not screaming, but sending a distress signal to other Catachan demons near it.

Unfortunately, it is too late now.

Releasing the large sound-blocking enchantment scroll in his hand, Sera made an attacking gesture to the soldiers next to him.

The extremely huge Catachan demon struggled to stand up from under the surface.

The soil was flying everywhere, and the broken plants flew everywhere.

The huge and twisted figure of the Catachan demon was fully displayed in front of the Thunder Warriors.

A huge body of 13 meters long.

Dozens of sharp sickle-like claws.

The tail stinger raised high and ready to go.

With the thick black-brown armor, it gives people a sense of panic that they can't start.

Facing such a terrifying monster, the soldier who is only half the height of its claws not only has no fear, but also flashes more excitement between his eyebrows.

Swoosh!

The Catachan demon raised its claws and showed off its might.

Two more heavy crossbow arrows flew from behind it.

When the Catachan demon realized the danger was coming, its huge body was too late to dodge.

Crack!

The bright silver inverted triangle arrow pierced into the back of the Catachan demon with almost no resistance.

The surging thunder gathered around the crossbow arrow. Seeing that it could not break through the defense of the Catachan demon, it exploded with a flash of lightning.

"Roar...!"

A huge roar that was three or four times more shrill than before echoed in the large silencer barrier that was not empty.

Two huge gaps appeared on the back of the Catachan demon.

The bright red wound was flowing, gurgling blood, and bursts of green smoke.

The back half of the two crossbow arrows with electric arcs had completely disappeared, rotted into sawdust all over the sky.

However, the most deadly arrowhead, under the impact of the explosion, pierced deep into the body of the Catachan Demon.

Although it had not seen any enemies yet, this powerful Catachan Demon still found the direction of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow by feeling.

The Catachan Demon, in pain, burst out with terrifying power.

Its huge body knocked away the trees that were in the way and ran straight towards the direction of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow.

It was obvious that this monster was smart and vengeful.

However, the Thunder Warriors, who had been prepared, naturally had no intention of hiding any longer.

With a thunderous roar, the Catachan Demon, which was running forward, collided head-on with a flash of lightning.

The pitch-black armor had a certain degree of defense, but it still failed to block Gatl's attack with hatred.

The unlucky Catachan Demon was immediately blown dizzy.

It stared at Gatl, who was running towards it, with a little fear in its eyes.

This unprecedented lightning brought it severe pain and considerable pressure.

Although this degree of injury would not even affect the combat effectiveness of the Catachan Demon.

However, the Catachan Demon's intelligence was not low, and it had already smelled the trap and danger.

Fight or flee?

The Catachan Demon chose the latter.

It turned around quickly, and its tail with deadly toxins swept across like a sword.

Gatl stopped his charge, looked at the Catachan demon that turned and ran away, and sneered smugly:

"The more you fear death, the faster you die!"
