Chapter 692 Krypton Gold (8000)

August 20th.

Luodan grassland.

clear.

The translucent golden light broke through the misty smoke and fell on the ground.

In the billowing smoke, hideous and terrifying figures surrounded the towering city wall.

Sharp roars and battle cries continued to echo across the plain.

The wall of Black Wind Castle.

Hot tongues of fire tore through the air, dispersing part of the fog and burning the illusory figures.

call! call! call!

The rolling heat wave swept away, and the ghost was burned by the fierce fire.

Transparent ripples surged all over the body, and the originally blurry face became more ferocious and distorted.

The ghost's body was exuding waves of cold air, trying to fight against the extremely high temperature flames.

But the energy they store is limited, and they won't be able to support it in three or two strokes.

After they let out a silent and piercing roar, they shattered into pieces.

A burst of cold air continued to spread in all directions as they died.

Translucent crystals fell down after their death and were scattered on the city walls.

The Knights of Lordan, who had been well prepared, quickly moved forward as a team and retrieved the spoils.

Noticing that the sun had risen, Mars, who was directing the battle, took a long breath.

The dangerous night was finally over.

Of course, it is not safe here during the day. Skeleton monsters hidden in the fog may attack the city wall at any time.

However, the sentries can at least detect movement faster, and he can better arrange soldiers for defense.

I saw staff from the Gulf Territory directing the soldiers to adjust and repair the flamethrowers.

Mars, who was extremely curious about the Gulf Territory, couldn't help but come over and start a curious discussion while the other party was resting.

"What is the principle of a flamethrower? Is it difficult to make it?"

Da Pang, who was keen on exploring new markets, cheerfully explained to him:

"There is a storage space inside the flamethrower that is specifically designed to store high-concentration fuel."

"There are high-pressure injection structures and devices on the outside, which drive the ignited fuel to fly out."

"The duration of fuel is about 5 to 6 seconds. With subsequent fuel replenishment, it can continue to burn repeatedly."

"It has a very good killing effect against flesh and blood monsters, small and tangible monsters."

After understanding the basic principles of the flamethrower and carefully observing its detailed and precise structure, Mars tentatively asked:

"The Gulf Territory is willing to cooperate with us to build a joint factory for the production of flamethrowers. Should we only build one?"

The big fat man who has become much smarter naturally understands Mars' thoughts and temptations.

He had no intention of hiding it and said directly and decisively:

"No, the problem is just because the investment in building a processing plant is quite large. At least it requires the purchase of production lines and equipment worth millions of gold coins."

"Without seeing the prospect of returns and profits, you are just going to build one to test the waters."

Big Fatty, who has been here for several days, has already collected enough information.

The first joint factory built was not for profit, but was built to better produce flamethrowers.

This is money paid by the royal family and major nobles of the Kingdom of Lordan.

They care more about stabilizing their rule. Using flamethrowers to clean up these undead monsters is just a policy and a means.

The local nobles headed by Mars were different.

They not only realized the benefits of flamethrowers, but also realized the huge market hidden in them.

Maybe they don't understand the principle, but making money, supporting their families, and developing the economy are what most lords and nobles want to do.

Who would think that he has more gold coins?

"Is it really possible? We can afford tens of millions of gold coins."

Mars couldn't help but show his "strength", worried that the Gulf leaders would look down on him.

This kind of thing happens often, just like many magic equipment and props, they would rather not be sold than sold to ordinary people and adventurers.

Although this has some vague regulations, it also represents the arrogance of the spellcasters of the Netheril Empire.

Part of it is their own fault.

Another part is also indispensable, the "demonstration" of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

"Haha, with so much start-up capital, it must be enough."

"Your Excellency, you can check the manpower first. After all, running a large factory requires many professionals."

"If your manpower cannot be filled at the moment, our Gulf Territory will be happy to provide it."

Big Fat was keenly aware of this and started chatting with Mars very simply.

After hearing this, Mars was also very interested and began to inquire in detail about opening the factory.

As for whether this approach will cause dissatisfaction with the royal family and the great nobles.

The local nobles who gathered together to protect themselves had long been quite disappointed with them.

What's more, they have considerable autonomy. When the other party is not recruiting, it is their own business how to develop.

Mars has already thought of it.

Luodan Grassland is huge, with hundreds of nobles, large and small, and nearly 200 million people living there.

These weird fog and ghost monsters are becoming more and more numerous, and the flamethrowers produced by the joint factory controlled by the royal family alone are definitely not enough.

He is naturally willing to seize the opportunity and take advantage of this possible crisis to make a good plan for himself and his family.

The more Mars communicated with Big Fatty and learned more about the policies of the Gulf Territory, the more excited he became.

Mars had already made up his mind. After the factory started operating, as long as it could be sold quickly, he would immediately apply to build a new factory.

The big fat guy who was quite devoted, thought more than he did.

He has applied for a large number of flamethrowers, waiting for Mars' crisis to be resolved.

I wanted to cooperate with him to sell it and make a lot of money before the factory produced benefits.

Time is gold!

Gulf Territory staff in various places also have this idea.

Now that I have earned the money to build the factory, I am already safe, so I naturally have to think about the next piece of fat.

Before the factory could start operating, they already wanted to use the magic weapons and equipment stored and produced in the Gulf Territory to open up sales in advance.

Wait until these forces, many nobles and lords of the kingdom understand the weapons and equipment of the Gulf Territory.

Subsequent large-scale sales will naturally be more relaxed and satisfying.

It can be regarded as solving everyone's urgent needs first, helping as many lords and nobles as possible, and protecting more cities and people.

After all, this is a good thing!

Moreover, the Gulf Territory will not simply ask for their gold coins.

Instead, a large amount of gold coins and supplies will be used.

To buy professional skills, skills, special professional paths, magic knowledge, spell inheritance, rare metals, ghost monsters and other trophies that they cannot use temporarily.

Ensure that a small economic and material cycle similar to that between the Gulf Territory and adventurers can be realized.

The Gulf Territory helps them tide over the difficulties and earn some benefits at the same time, basically ensuring that everyone is satisfied.

In fact, the Gulf Territory staff who understand the situation here already have more ideas.

They reported these ideas and information to the Bay Leader, giving Matthew and Ralph a lot of surprises.

Putting down the similar request for a transaction in his hand, Butler Ralph couldn't help but smile and said:

"Haha, these guys are really good at finding every opportunity, and they can think of more benefits so quickly."

Even Matthew was amazed and admired the subjective initiative of the staff:

"They can actually think of going to the disaster-stricken areas of the corresponding countries and forces to absorb and rescue people and victims. It seems that they can really take charge of their own affairs."

Reflecting on the growth of these guys, Butler Ralph was also quite satisfied, took out Big Fat's application and said:

"Hehe, there are still many people who need to take a step further."

"Only a small number of staff can be as flexible as Big Fat."

"They should be able to think that they can also recruit talents in a targeted manner and send adventurers there."

The former is to enhance the foundation of the Gulf Territory and is basic work that everyone must do well.

The latter can quickly improve the current strength of the Gulf Territory.

Whether it is the absorption of various talents or the training of adventurers, it has shown quite amazing results.

"When the adventurers eat this piece of fat, give them some time to digest and adjust."

"As their ambitions begin to grow, let them build more and more adventuring parties and adventuring parties."

"They can drive more adventurers to improve, and they can also drive a wave of growth in weapons and equipment."

"Once enough enemy information and data are obtained, the territory will arrange a wave of targeted weapons and supplies."

"You can arrange adventure groups and adventure teams as auxiliary personnel to go to various forces and kingdoms to assist in operations."

There are quite a few benefits to doing this.

It can not only collect intelligence from various places, but also understand information about the forces and resources of various places.

In addition, it can continuously strengthen the influence of the Gulf Territory on this region.

Without redeploying a large number of combat personnel, cooperation and contact with the other party can be further strengthened.

Matthew and the Gulf Territory do not expect to become like the Elf Kingdom of Cole.

Able to exert high-level influence and "control" on many organizations and forces.

But at least we need to get more allies and brothers!

Even at the critical moment.

When they want to "betray an ally" or "stab a brother".

With just a hint of "hesitation", the work in the Gulf Territory was considered a success.

Not to mention, the more various types of monsters and intelligence from various places the Gulf Territory collects.

The grasp and judgment of the overall situation can also be better.

The reason why Matthew expands his business is to create more channels for the Gulf Territory to obtain resources, technology, and population.

As long as these channels continue, the Gulf Territory will become stronger day by day.

Not to mention, the many resources and techniques available from all over.

Many studies in the Gulf Territory have made considerable progress and breakthroughs.

These gains alone are enough to recover the cost.

Matthew looked through the inventions and research progress of major research institutes, and carefully looked at the Dark Forest and Zul'Gurub.

Before taking action against Zul'Gurub, the Gulf Territory must bury a nail large enough in the dark forest.

We should use this as an advance base so that the Gulf Territory's army and the many adventurers can have backing and a retreat they can rely on.

As long as this can be done.

Not only can we further develop various resources in the depths of the Dark Forest.

We can also accumulate enough troops and combat power to fight against giants like the Blood Rage Trolls.

The Blood Rage Trolls are not as divided as the Rotten Moss Clan.

They have a unified power center and elite troops with good strength.

Although the Blood Rage Trolls did not show any combat power in the battle a few days ago when facing the new weapons and equipment of the Gulf Territory.

More than 300,000 elite trolls were killed on the spot, 50,000 to 60,000 were scattered, and the rest were being hunted down.

The defeat was very tragic!

But after nearly two years of data collection, the Gulf Territory has also understood the situation of the Blood Rage Trolls more thoroughly.

The other party controls tens of millions of trolls, owns more than ten cities, controls a large area of ​​the Dark Forest, and controls several tributaries of the Silver Moon River with rich products.

They can live a good life with the rich output of the Dark Forest alone.

It can be said that the geographical and resource advantages of the Blood Rage Trolls are the best among the troll forces.

However, the Blood Rage Trolls played this good card badly.

Compared with the split of the Rotten Moss Clan, they simply served the "Blood God" Hakkar wholeheartedly.

Quite crazy bloody sacrifices were held in various places.

Every year, more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of trolls were sacrificed to the Blood God Hakkar for various reasons.

If the Blood God Hakkar is in good condition, He will definitely be very happy and want to greedily devour more souls.

Don't be surprised, most evil gods are such "idiots".

It's just some "food", it will grow out anyway.

But according to the news obtained by the Bay Lord and Matthew, the entire Blood Rage Tribe has been in turmoil and madness.

Just stay in your own territory and perform bloody sacrifices day after day and year after year.

Their rules are also very simple. The old and weak are abandoned when they reach the age, the young and strong do not participate, and a quarter of the newborn children are sacrificed.

The horrible and brutal sacrifice forced many adventurers who were looking for intelligence to receive psychological counseling.

Matthew didn't know much about the situation of the bloody trolls.

He only remembered that the blood god Hakkar controlled and protected most of the trolls in the future.

He only dared to hide in the dark forest, occasionally sending out a part of the raider team to sweep.

"Has the blood god Hakkar not recovered?"

"Or has something happened that prevented him from leaving the dark forest?"

"Or is there a big problem with this evil god?"

Matthew's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he became more interested in the situation of the blood god Hakkar.

The outbreak of the elemental tide will bring huge changes to the entire material plane.

The most important point is that it will increase the upper limit of the life level that the material plane can accommodate.

After the first elemental tide ends, the upper limit of the life level that can be accommodated will be raised to the peak of the demigod.

The top powerhouses of various territories and forces can once again step into the material plane, or wake up from the seal.

At that time, legends were everywhere, and demigods were worse than dogs. That was definitely an exaggeration.

But many gods could truly release their strength and send out saint forms and divine clones, which was something they could do.

This level of existence had the destructive power of a single person forming an army and invincible.

If there was no opponent of the same level that could match it, it would be almost impossible to defeat it, and it could only be left to do whatever it wanted.

Matthew has always focused on laying a solid foundation for improving his own strength.

Not only to break through and become a great arcanist.

It is also to increase the upper limit of what he can bear.

With Matthew's current strength and control ability, mastering and digesting the body of a demigod is already a lot of pressure.

Yaya has been fighting with a clone.

Most of the time, she is training to control and release divine power.

To ensure that they can play a greater role in battle.

In this case, Matthew has to lay a solid foundation.

Complete the tempering of soul strength, control of bloodline ability, and learning and strengthening of personal expertise and skills bit by bit.

In the past few years, Matthew and Yaya have basically figured out the role of the demigod body and divine power.

They have also gradually adapted to the integration of divine power and body. Even if they have not rashly upgraded their professional level, their personal strength and intensity are constantly improving.

Otherwise, how can Yaya easily suppress many legendary and even legendary peak monsters with his clone body?

The latter certainly has many flaws and is not as strong as the legendary creatures with real inheritance and comprehensiveness.

But even the weakest legend is still a legend!

The influence and changes brought by divine power affect all aspects.

Now, Matthew and Yaya have digested these gains and experienced the benefits, so they naturally want to go further.

The current state is unclear, and the future strength is not outstanding. In comparison, the blood god Hakka is definitely a soft persimmon!

It is a prey that can be set as a medium-term target!

What is the short-term goal?

Of course, it is all kinds of monsters and evil things!

For example, those in the mechanical plane!

Matthew flipped through the information obtained by the adventurers in the goblin ruins.

He hesitated for a while, then drew a red circle on a large valley 100 kilometers northwest of the dark forest controlled by the Bay Territory.

This is the Krypton Valley!

There is a krypton gold vein with amazing reserves underground!

It has never been discovered and developed.

It was after the first elemental tide.

A powerful player force discovered several small elemental gem veins here.

So, this player force relied on the profits brought by the elemental gem veins to grow bigger and stronger in the dark forest.

The small elemental gem veins were soon dug up by the swarming player army.

The player forces, who had lost a considerable part of their economic sources, were unwilling to abandon this treasure land where they made their fortunes, so they chose to continue digging.

As a result, krypton gold veins were unexpectedly discovered.

Krypton gold is an extremely rare magic metal.

It has super high plasticity and strength, and can provide long-term stability for magic equipment and structures.

It can be said that a small amount of krypton gold was added in the production process of magic equipment and spell scrolls.

Not only can its effect be increased by 10% to 15%, but it can also extend the constant time of its spells by 3 to 4 times.

It can be said that with just these two effects, kryptonite is enough to rival thorium and become one of the best magic metals.

Its price per gram has reached 1,000 gold coins, the same price as thorium!

Players call it kryptonite, which is very consistent with its effect and price.

What makes Matthew even more interested in it is that.

Mechanical parts made of kryptonite as the main material have internal and external protective power that can resist the operating pressure of element fusion.

The internal energy constrains the stable operation of element fusion, and withstands the impact of high-intensity particle flow and element fusion energy without damage.

It is equivalent to the crucial inner wall of the controllable nuclear fusion generator in the world before Matthew's rebirth.

The effects of the two are exactly the same, withstanding the impact of fine particles and energy fluids, and maintaining its stable operation inside.

And kryptonite materials are not only effective in resisting internal and external impacts.

It is a perfect match for making element fusion engines!

This means.

The Gulf Territory no longer needs to use the "experimental element fusion engine" which is slightly more unstable, barely powerful, and has a lifespan of only 2,000 combat hours.

This is why only in the Catachan demiplane, where resources are everywhere and there are battles and valuable enemies at all times, is it worth it for the Gulf Territory to deploy all the Fangs No. 1.

If Fangs No. 1 is used in other places, it will be a crazy burning of gold coins!

If the element fusion engine can be fully replicated, then the production of legendary constructs in the Gulf Territory will be just around the corner.

Of course, to take over this Krypton Valley first, the Gulf Territory must continue to advance the control area by more than 100 kilometers.

This will reach the actual control range of the Blood Rage Trolls!

With the crazy style of the Blood Rage Trolls' bloody sacrifices, they will definitely take the initiative to attack.

This is also one of Matthew's goals.

It is always easier to let these stupid trolls come to die and be captured than for the Gulf Territory to take the initiative to attack.

Moreover, the battle and momentum set off by this will definitely attract the attention of the Cole Elves.

At that time, the underground forces, the looting army, the Kantru Mountains, and the Rocky Mountains will launch in turn.

It will definitely bring some small shocks to the Cole Elf Kingdom!

In late August.

More and more adventurers entered the Dark Forest.

Under the leadership of the commander of the Gulf Territory, they continued to hunt down the scattered troll army.

As for the huge orc army, it has become a pile of corpses, burned to ashes by the blazing flames.

For these remaining traces, in order to prevent accidents, the Gulf Territory deliberately collected them and purified them.

After processing, these wreckages will be uniformly transported to the fertilizer manufacturing plant in the Gulf Territory.

The sins they have caused to this world will eventually be returned to this world.

The continuous pursuit and hunting have made the adventurers grow up quickly.

In particular, the obedience to the orders of the commander of the Gulf Territory has made the adventurers taste many benefits and regard them as golden rules and follow them.

Fortunately, the commanders of the Gulf Territory have been tested for a long time and have not been blinded by the huge advantages they have gained.

They never seek merit and advance rashly, and they focus more on driving away the troll army, taking whatever they can get.

The originally dangerous Dark Forest, after being rushed by the troll army, naturally reduced its danger.

The commanders of the Bay Territory immediately asked the civil engineers to cooperate with the adventurers to build forward strongholds and camps.

First occupy this area, and then expand and accept the surrounding areas little by little.

Although the speed of marching is slow, it is very solid and steady step by step.

After Matthew issued the order to "occupy Krypton Valley".

They only added a part of the elite soldiers of the Bay Territory to join the hunting and advancing team to ensure that there would be no accidents.

Instead, they arranged and built golem train tracks and magic channels on the route of march.

A large amount of supplies were transported along the newly built golem train tracks, and the captured and captured trolls were sent back to the Bay City in large numbers.

Sufficient supplies and sufficient manpower.

The commanders were even less anxious.

They advanced step by step, building various defensive facilities along the way.

At the same time, they arranged for the adventurers and soldiers to rotate and rest, step by step strengthening their pursuit capabilities and accumulating corresponding combat experience and data.

During this process, the news that the adventurers of the Gulf Territory had achieved a great victory had gradually spread throughout the northern continent.

Most of the forces that heard the news immediately verified it.

After they found out that the situation was true, they all kept the rapidly rising Gulf Territory in mind.

Afterwards, they continued to do their own things. How could they have the time to care about the Gulf Territory far away when their own things were not yet finished?

Only those territories and forces that had trades and connections with the Gulf Territory expressed their congratulations to the Gulf Territory for this shocking victory.

There was no way. The Gulf Territory showed its strong strength. Wouldn't everyone's attitude have to change?

After all, most of the forces related to the Gulf Territory had gained a lot from the Gulf Territory's trade.

At least they had to say something good!

The Gulf Territory didn't care too much about these formal things.

It only had a higher enthusiasm for the more adventurers pouring into the Gulf Territory.

Especially the propaganda of the news newspapers throughout the northern continent.

It also showed the super high gains and better development of the adventurers of the Gulf Territory one by one.

For better development or for a quiet life.

A considerable number of adventurers are preparing to go to the Gulf Territory.

Compared with the previous situation where adventurers had to travel by themselves and the Gulf Territory reimbursed the travel expenses.

This time, the Gulf Territory, which has more cooperative forces, has made very straightforward arrangements, covering the teleportation areas and teleportation points of major forces in the northern continent.

Adventurers from all over the world can embark on a quick journey to the Gulf Territory through the teleportation point closest to them.

Along the way, they can see their peers from various forces and kingdoms.

They can also see caravans such as the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, which is gradually growing in the Gulf Territory.

They can even see trading teams from the Dwarf Kingdom.

After arriving at the Gulf Territory, they will come to the adventurer reception hall specially built in the Gulf Territory.

"Understand and recite the rules and laws of the Gulf Territory."

"You can get a magic item worth 2,000 gold coins (magic watch), an adventurer suit worth 50 gold coins, and a preferential treatment of free rent for 3 months."

Before coming to the Gulf Territory, the adventurers naturally learned about the basic situation of the Gulf Territory.

Knowing its "strict" decrees and understanding its "unique" rules.

Adventurers who have been mentally prepared, facing this sudden "free" benefit, showed no resistance at all.

In one or two days, you can earn several thousand gold coins.

It's so cool!

Adventurers who "actively" accepted the basic education of the Gulf Territory.

Will soon encounter the second "good thing"!

That is to choose to join the Gulf Territory.

Not only can you get a free house.

You can also have a farmland harvest that matches your ability.

Not only can you get various jobs provided by the Gulf Territory based on your specialties and assessments.

You can also enjoy the benefits of your children entering the Gulf Territory Professional Academy for free study.

You can also enjoy the basic training resources provided by the Gulf Territory for all professionals.

Faced with this series of "temptations", more than half of the beginners and intermediate adventurers can't bear it at all!

For the vast majority of ordinary adventurers.

Get a safe and stable job, let your family have no worries about food and clothing, let your children receive a good education, and always have productive fields.

This is the dream life!

All of this can be achieved relatively easily as long as you choose to join the Gulf Territory.

Adventurers who are regarded as unstable factors by nobles, as objects that need to be won over and suppressed by lords, and as dangerous elements by ordinary people, have never seen such a trick to win people's hearts?

After they confirmed the situation, they fell without hesitation.

And they immediately accepted the first mission of the Gulf Territory.

After completing basic training and education, they will immediately return to where they came from.

Not only can they bring all their relatives and family members back to the Gulf Territory, but they can also bring their relatives and friends together.

Everyone has a reward of 20 silver coins.

If there are professionals, they can get at least 10 gold coins.

This is simply a welfare for everyone!

The adventurers can't stand it at all, and they must occupy this advantage!

In addition to the half of the adventurers who joined directly.

In the subsequent education and training process.

After seeing the preferential treatment and benefits they enjoy, more than half of the adventurers will join the Gulf Territory.

Only a small number of adventurers, for various reasons, will resist the temptation of the Gulf Territory and devote themselves to the adventure missions of the Gulf Territory.

But the Gulf Territory is not in a hurry, anyway, these adventurers are also contributing to the development of the Gulf Territory.

When they leave the Gulf Territory, most of them will not have a better adventure and development environment than the Gulf Territory.

Later...

99% of adventurers can't escape!

In addition to continuing to "seduce" adventurers, the various adventure supplies and equipment prepared by the Gulf Territory for adventurers have also been updated.

Among them, the most popular thing is - strong blood-activating potion!

Da Zhuang, who is burly, holds a bottle of bright red and translucent strengthening blood-activating potion and excitedly introduces it to the new adventurers coming and going:

"The strengthening blood-activating potion with 5 gold coins per bottle can give everyone the same recovery ability as the troll."

"This is a benefit specially prepared by Lord Matthew for all adventurers!"

"Each person is limited to purchasing 1 bottle per day, and each person can carry up to 7 bottles. Remember not to trade, otherwise this benefit will be cancelled."

"Without corresponding benefits, the price of a bottle of powerful blood-activating potion is as high as 100 gold coins."

“Caravans from other places are welcome to come and buy!”

Laura, who was passing by here, looked at the powerful blood-activating potion in Da Zhuang's hand, and vaguely felt that the word "troll" was written on it.
