Chapter 549: Fighting Is a Science (8000)

The setting sun in the distance, the red sunset glow.

Under the illumination of the halo of the King Killer Star, there were faint distortions, changing into all kinds of strange shapes.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes, felt the quietness in his ears, smiled and turned his head and said:

"Sure enough, after strengthening the mental protection and thinking defense line, we can barely resist this influence."

Yaya shook her head, looked up at the King Killer Star in the distance, and asked curiously:

"The puzzle lock that can cause such a large scale of impact is stronger than all legendary spells..."

The many memories in the blood, plus Yaya's understanding of arcane knowledge, can already guess many situations.

She felt the subtle whisper in her ear, and asked excitedly:

"In the future, can we eliminate its influence?"

Matthew shook his head and pointed to the dragon blood creature next to him for comparison.

The latter has fallen into extreme madness.

Many spells such as mental protection have been applied to it, but it has completely lost its mind.

Yaya touched the tip of her nose and gave a very groundbreaking guess:

"Is it possible that our dragon blood level is higher, so we have stronger resistance?"

"Besides, it's not the real body here after all..."

Matthew nodded in admiration for Yaya's enlightenment.

This little guy is getting smarter and smarter.

"We need to increase our investment in this area. We may encounter more attacks like this in the future. This should be our only weakness."

Yaya counted on her fingers and nodded in agreement. Her eyes rolled slightly and she asked with some expectation:

"Can we start from this aspect in the next surgical transformation?"

It's very difficult to accomplish it in one go.

Matthew would not have such a delusion.

If we use surgical transformation to overcome difficulties as Yaya said.

By strengthening again and again to achieve the goal, we should be able to improve the shortcomings in this area.

The original purpose of surgical transformation is to make up for the defects.

At least, we should be able to stand in front of those guys!

While sorting out the memories in this regard and considering the fit with the future development plan, Matthew felt that what Yaya said made sense.

"Well said, the sixth operation will start to solve this problem."

Looking at Yaya's happy expression, Matthew felt relieved that he had successfully cultivated an old man.

While discussing with Yaya, Matthew walked into the tactical room.

Noticing Matthew's arrival, Angela, who was summarizing, smiled brightly and came over to report to him:

"We have blocked the impact of the first wave of dragon blood creatures, cleared a total of 43,000 enemies, and our side suffered 32 casualties, with a total expenditure of 1.6 million gold coins."

This battle can be said to be a great victory for the Gulf Territory.

With nearly 10 million destiny power harvested, Matthew's current accumulated destiny power has reached 30 million.

Matthew took the information handed over by Angela and carefully looked through the situation of this battle.

Matthew was quite satisfied with the performance of the Gulf Territory army and soldiers.

They did not live up to the 1/4 of the overall income invested by the Gulf Territory.

1.6 million gold coins are just the expenditure of this battle.

The preparations for this battle have reached nearly 30 million gold coins.

Here, I would also like to thank the rich people of the El Elves.

Without the deal with them, Matthew would not have the confidence and gold coins to take down the Mordencan team.

Thus, a new golem production factory was established to improve the production capacity of the entire Gulf Territory.

"Everyone has done a good job. Tell everyone this good news immediately and increase research on the use of dragon blood creatures."

Hearing this, Angela nodded hurriedly. She could hear what Matthew meant behind it.

The dragon blood creatures that are "sent" continuously can provide a large number of magic materials for the Gulf Territory.

It is a precious material that is usually very difficult to obtain, and it is also a shackle that restricts the improvement of the strength of professionals.

If it can be quickly digested and converted into materials for adventurers to improve their strength, the overall strength of the Gulf Territory will usher in a huge improvement.

Angela's proper arrangements and the subsequent plans of the Gulf Territory soldiers are very mature and stable.

Matthew was completely relieved and handed over the task of commanding the battle to Angela.

Angela, who was well prepared, accepted the task with full confidence.

She and other military commanders continued to discuss and study, arranging the next defense and combat matters.

After a long period of cultivation, they finally received rich rewards.

Matthew can temporarily take his energy away from the battle and start to develop other aspects of the Bay Territory.

Druid greenhouse.

A large area of ​​rice is growing rapidly under the stimulation of spells.

The full rice grains bend the rice and shine golden.

In the blink of an eye, an acre of rice has matured.

The harvester golem waiting on the side quickly completes the harvest.

The harvested rice is piled into a small hill.

The light on the ground lights up, showing a number of 872 kilograms, and the weighing has been completed.

"Oh, it has exceeded 850 kilograms per acre."

Xiao Jixiang excitedly recorded the number, with a little excitement in his eyes, put all the harvests into the warehouse, and reached out to record at the door of the transparent culture room.

"Experimental field No. 68, experiment No. 2732, on the effect of fertilizer No. 42 on increasing production."

Little Jixiang, who was walking briskly, walked to the center of a big tree and reported the results of his experiment to a fat little girl.

This little girl had emerald green hair, and her braids swayed slightly as she turned around.

After hearing the data reported by Xiao Jixiang, he gave her a thumbs up excitedly:

"Well done, you completed the task of harvesting 850 pounds. Ji Xiang, you can get 2,000 merits and 20,000 gold coins. Can you treat me to an ice cream?"

The little girl is only three or four years old, but she looks very mature, sitting happily on the branch of the tree of life.

She skillfully clicked on the spell display, recorded Xiao Jixiang's data, and continued thoughtfully:

"There have been six separate experiments, all of which have exceeded the yield of 850 kilograms per mu, and we can prepare for joint experiments."

"Xiao Jixiang, you are doing very well. Do you want to conduct experiments with Lao Li?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jixiang couldn't help but widen his eyes, nodded without hesitation, and said loudly and excitedly:

"Quanquan, I want to experiment with Mr. Li, hehe."

The Tree of Life Elf Quanquan smiled and nodded, made a silent gesture to her, pointed to the laboratory behind and said:

"Go there quickly, the Lord is discussing with Lao Li."

The light in his eyes became more and more dazzling. Xiao Jixiang thanked Quanquan and ran back quickly.

Who wouldn't want to see the lord?

As soon as Xiao Jixiang got closer, he heard the crisp sound of discussion.

"Hey, little Anna, look, this is a new variety of konjac, one can make a meal."

With a curious face on her face, Orianna stretched out her finger and tapped the wrinkled gray-brown konjac. Thinking of the soft and sweet taste, she blinked her big eyes and asked:

"What kind of cooking should I use it for? My favorite is fried konjac sticks."

Yaya, who was about to answer, suddenly turned his head and waved to the timid little Jixiang with a smile:

"Xiao Jixiang, please tell me how many new dishes you have researched recently?"

When talking about the dishes, Xiao Jixiang, who was full of confidence, quickly came over, picked up the heavy big konjac and said:

"I really like making ice cream recently, and I'm planning to make an ice cream drink using konjac puree and cream."

Yaya, with bright eyes, rubbed his hands excitedly, patted his chest unceremoniously and said:

"You can do whatever you want to do. If you need anything, just tell me and we can open a store together."

Xiao Jixiang, who nodded repeatedly, started discussing with them excitedly.

Orianna blinked slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, and she counted her fingers gently, preparing to record the food she was looking forward to.

Matthew on the other side was holding a batch of remains left by dragon-blood creatures, caressing them gently and said:

"Can they continue to perform stably for decades? In this way, they are the best fertilizer..."

Lao Li nodded, thinking about his response to nature during this period, and answered without hesitation:

"Yes, the remains of the dragon beast contain very rich nutrients, and after evolution, they will be released very slowly..."

"Used to cultivate magic plants such as konjac, it will achieve very good results, improving quality and increasing yield."

"Currently, the increase is at least 30%..."

Various data gave Matthew a big "surprise", and he couldn't help but think more about the rich "value" of the dragon beast.

More resources can be invested in the breeding of demiplane dragon beasts.

Matthew has even figured out a way to keep breeding and nurturing dragon beasts so that they can open up half a plane.

With their strong combat effectiveness and adaptability.

Not only can it transform the single ecological environment of the demiplane of Catachan.

Maybe in the future, it can resist natural disasters such as creep and green tide.

Once they are sacrificed, the body can also be recycled, and all parts from head to tail can be used to the extreme.

Of course, Matthew is not the kind of person to kill the donkey.

These benefits can only be "enjoyed" by dragon beasts who are unwilling to join the Gulf Territory.

For those dragon beasts who are willing to "progress", the Gulf Territory will also arrange conditions for them to grow and progress.

In the future, their sacrifice or death will also be dealt with according to their wishes, just like the sacrificed soldiers.

Matthew looked at Lao Li's year-end summary and was very satisfied with the series of data above. He said with admiration and tone:

"The Bay Territory is undoubtedly lucky to have you all."

"I also hope that everyone will continue to work hard to jointly promote the overall progress of the Gulf Territory's agriculture and breeding industry."

"If there is still a shortage of resources, just tell Butler Ralph directly, and the territory will do its best to meet everyone's needs."

Lao Li, who had just received the data from Xiao Jixiang, was delighted that the experiments with a yield of 850 kilograms per mu were successful.

However, he did not tell Matthew clearly that he was planning to give the lord a surprise at the year-end summary meeting.

When the lord heard these words, he still smiled as before and said:

"It's still the same problem, we need more manpower, both druids and mages..."

Looking away from the various magical plants, Matthew shrugged and said:

"Only the Vocational Education and Training College can solve this matter. I will go and have a look later and try to solve this problem as soon as possible."

Lao Li nodded excitedly and said loudly without thinking:

"Even druids and mages who have just taken up their jobs are fine. They can come in for internship first."

“While working here, I also learn from every experiment and work I do.”

"Well, and for every job, as more and more people work for it, the more learning experience they will leave behind..."

This is the reason why various jobs in the Gulf Territory are always getting better and better.

The better the experience and knowledge you leave behind, the better evaluation and rewards you will receive.

Matthew left the Druid Greenhouse and immediately went to the Professional Training Academy.

Today happens to be the day of the "end-of-year examination" of the Vocational Training Institute.

Each batch of students will face corresponding knowledge assessment.

Their grades are divided mainly based on the knowledge they have mastered, and are not differentiated by grade.

After completing and mastering the corresponding knowledge, you can enter the next stage of learning.

Assessment of various types of knowledge.

These are all the various requirements and needs that have arisen during the development process of being close to the Gulf Territory.

Improving these places and using magic and knowledge to solve them is the purpose of their study.

Of course, the best teachers will teach them to make sure they can get started.

Matthew is not worried about the quality of teaching.

What he cares more about is the ideological education of children.

They will be the new generation leading development in the Gulf, and they will receive the best education and the best growing environment.

Because of this, it is even more important to guide them more positively.

Everyone's development is closely related to the Gulf Territory.

The progress of the Gulf Territory cannot be separated from the help of each of them.

The increasing income of the Gulf Territory will be continuously invested in improving the quality of education.

Put forward higher requirements for teachers, conduct better research on various types of knowledge, and provide them with better learning opportunities and positions.

The students cultivated here can easily integrate into work.

Arrange jobs based on their best knowledge and skills.

After they complete their three-year designated work tasks, their contributions will basically be reasonably returned to the territory.

At this time, they can choose to change jobs and participate in other aspects of work after studying and researching.

Or, they can leave the work system and enter the military and pioneer systems.

This is just the way forward in work and position.

Their personal strength will also receive corresponding material supplies based on their contribution level.

In most cases, the supply of materials in the Gulf Territory is enough for the adventurers in the territory to increase their strength.

If there are special circumstances, corresponding applications can be made.

Matthew, who has experienced the original world, knows very well that the implementation of any system is inseparable from openness and fairness.

There is no absolute fairness in the Gulf Territory, but at least management factors can be eliminated.

Without widespread graft and corruption, the people are motivated to yearn for a better life and can actively promote the rapid development of the territory.

Almost all the students were very excited about Matthew's arrival.

Gulf leaders do not engage in personality cults, but they promote and praise outstanding individuals.

Everyone’s positive dreams are worthy of praise and care.

Matthew smiled and communicated with them, understood the difficulties they encountered in learning, and asked the teachers about their educational methods.

Then, Matthew praised and rewarded several students who had outstanding internship performance.

Lianna, a level 3 arcanist who led the team to develop three new types of engineering golems.

Rebecca, a level 4 druid who created a variety of ways to grow magic plants and completed two improvement experimental tasks.

Level 2 Warlock Orianna, who has improved the mechanical structure of the enchanted crossbow twice in a row, participated in the design of Dragoon No. 1 Golem.

Meryl, a level 3 mage who participated in the research and development of 6 new types of engineering golems and designed two new construction plans.

He participated in 16 legion battles, received 4 combat commendations, and has become the company commander of the 6th level ranger-Haigs.

Matthew prepared a high-end storage prop and two knowledge and skill learning manuals for them.

All rewards are for their better development and growth.

Matthew did not take up their time for too long and soon left the training academy and went to the factory area for inspection.

The booming factory area has completed three expansions.

On the banks of the Silver Moon River near Bay City.

The huge factory area already occupies a territory that stretches for three to four kilometers.

Here, more than two factories are built every day.

Every day, more than 3,000 workers enter this factory area and participate in work they have never experienced before.

Matthew mainly checks for hidden safety hazards that may be missed during the large-scale expansion of the factory.

Industrial accidents that may occur in reality will also appear in the factory areas of the Gulf Territory from time to time before the magic industry is completely perfected and replaced.

Fortunately, unless you die on the spot, healing spells and blood-activating potions will solve most dangers.

Even so, Gulf leaders and factory managers won't let up on the loopholes and flaws that can easily lead to accidents.

You won’t choose to ignore it just because you find it troublesome or have to pay higher costs.

Every worker who continues to contribute is an integral part of Gulf Territory.

Matthew took a closer look at the production methods.

Ensure that every factory, in addition to having a magic automatic production line, also has a semi-automatic mechanical production line.

Walking on one leg has greater risks.

It is safer to put eggs in two baskets.

Just as Matthew was patrolling and inspecting every link of the territory.

The Dwarf Kingdom in the underground world also waited for the first battle of the reinforcements.

"The enemy will enter the range in 13 seconds, everyone be ready!"

Ji Fan drew out his long sword, stared at the dark army rushing from afar, and shouted in a calm tone:

"Dragon hunting crossbow, fire!!"

Buzz!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of the bowstring mixed with the sound of breaking through the air flew out.

Endless crossbow arrows covered the past.

A dazzling light lit up at the tail of the crossbow arrow!

Click!

Crash!

After a tragic penetration sound, groups of enemies fell down.

The "light magic" activated at the tail of the huge arrow lit up the darkness in the distance.

The dark army was instantly illuminated by a large area of ​​light.

Many dark warriors nearby were screaming.

The sudden strong light caused terrible damage to their eyes.

Through the emerging light, the soldiers on the city wall also saw their opponents clearly.

In addition to the gnolls, gray dwarves, dwarves, ogres, minotaurs, trolls and many other slaves controlled by the drow elves they had seen.

They also saw many new enemies.

The ferocious-looking bear goblins.

They were not as thin as their distant relatives the goblins on the surface world. They were not only strong and fast, but also had fangs and claws.

Some of them were wearing thick weapons and armor, which was no less powerful than the ogre warriors next to them.

The huge bats flying in the sky.

They were called "Night Hunter Bats" by the dwarves.

They flew in the sky in groups, with huge bodies, deafening screams, and very ferocious claws and wings.

They are the minions of the drow elves, as well as their weapons and "eyes".

A large group of fast-moving underground gnomes.

These little guys are very ferocious, and they shout at the drow elves who command them without hesitation.

They hold sharp knives and short swords, make sharp roars, and move very quickly.

Behind these slave warriors, several huge eyes are floating in the air.

Eye demons!

A terrible and dangerous monster!

Some drow elves are standing around them, which shows their status.

They are composed of a huge eye and spreading tentacles.

That very terrifying look gives people a feeling of fear.

Just one look, as if the mind will be taken away by it.

Some defensive dwarf warriors showed a little fear in their eyes.

Behind these monsters, huge well-trampling carts, dragged by ogre slaves, slowly drove towards the city wall.

Ji Fan's eyes were a little solemn. The drow elf troops in front of him were more like regular troops than those encountered by the Bay Lord before.

They formed a basic formation.

Siege weapons and equipment were prepared.

All kinds of slave monsters behaved very obediently.

The discipline was a bit messy, but the number of more than 30,000 was enough to make Ji Fan feel a certain amount of pressure.

Of course, Ji Fan was not too worried.

These drow slaves in front of him did not show the situation of the gnoll slaves being completely controlled.

In terms of fighting will, they were not as good as the slave warriors last time.

Most of the commanders of the drow elves had no experience in commanding thousands or even tens of thousands of people in battle.

They were like Sera before, who were better at using flexible patrols and raiding troops.

However, Ji Fan would not underestimate these opponents.

Experience can be accumulated.

After a few more fights, the drow commanders will become more and more difficult.

Ji Fan has basically understood the combat methods and concepts of these drow elves.

Difficult tasks, slaves go.

Missions to send death, subordinates go.

Good at sneak attacks and ambushes, head-on confrontation is a weakness.

"Something is wrong. Why would they send out the Eye Demon? Are they preparing for a full-scale attack?"

Wild Hammer, who was preparing to go deep into the battlefield to understand the situation, couldn't help but frowned. Thinking back to the drow's tentative attacks in the past few days, he couldn't help but continue to ask:

"Are the drow preparing to launch a full-scale attack?"

Ji Fan didn't think much about it. He looked at the busy dwarf warriors on the city wall and his eyes fell on the roaring dwarf artillery.

These weapons can hit really far. If they can be improved, they may be able to be moved into the army.

Ji Fan and Lyon had very similar ideas, and both showed extraordinary battlefield acumen.

Boom!

More than 20 artillery pieces roared at the same time.

The flying and jumping shells rushed into the enemy's formation and plowed out several bloody roads.

Hundreds of slave warriors were killed, and the improved drow commander immediately issued an order to charge.

The ogres pushing the ramming car forward roared sharply.

With brute force, they pushed the ram to the uphill position.

Ji Fan looked at the drow elves getting closer and closer, and resisted the urge to issue an attack order.

He waited until the slave warriors approached within 300 meters before announcing the release of arrows.

The endless crossbow arrows scattered down, making the slave army rushing over a little sparse.

The cannons were still roaring, wantonly causing more casualties.

"Aim at the ramming carts, and prioritize getting rid of those ogres."

Ji Fan would not let the drow elves attack step by step.

He ordered the crossbow arrows to intensify the coverage and cause more casualties to these enemies.

The heavy ramming carts could not increase their speed too fast, so they naturally became targets that archers could easily target.

The slave warriors pushing the carts suffered huge casualties.

After two rounds of shooting coverage, the huge ramming cart came to a standstill.

The drow commander could only order the slave warriors to continue pushing the carts despite the crossbow arrows.

Dozens of drow elf slave warriors fell every second and became the dead souls covered by the Bay Lord's shooting.

Other siege equipment also enjoyed the same treatment.

Considering the huge range of the artillery, Ji Fan tried to let the Wild Hammer control the dwarf artillery to bombard these siege equipment.

This move achieved good results.

The damage caused by the ricochet of the shells could only cause casualties to about 10 enemies at most, and the attack interval was as long as 1 minute.

But if artillery was used to deal with siege equipment, three of these wooden weapons, which were already quite slow, were quickly destroyed.

The counterattack launched by the Gulf leader caused the offensive of the drow army to pause for a while.

The latter quickly responded again, and two eye demons fell around these siege weapons.

When the rotating shells hit, the tentacles of the eye demons began to wave, and an invisible barrier blocked and knocked away these shells with great power.

Seeing this situation, many dwarf soldiers forgot to continue to attack.

"What are you all standing there for? Keep attacking!"

"It's better to use the eye demon's spells to block attacks than to let them fall on our heads."

Fortunately, the Wildhammer shouted in time and woke up the panicked dwarf soldiers.

Seeing them continue to attack in a hurry, the Wildhammer couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was not only worried about this castle, but also about other castles on this line.

The attackers could mobilize their forces and almost always take the initiative.

About three minutes later.

The only three remaining trolleys were transported to the edge of the city wall amid the excited shouts of the slave warriors.

These trolleys were extremely large, up to eight or nine meters high.

There were thick iron blocks outside to block most of the crossbow arrows.

There were four floors in the trolley, and each floor could transport seventy or eighty slave warriors.

Each floor was connected by two stairs, and there was an opening behind the trolley.

Once it approached the city wall, it could use the connected iron hook to buckle the edge of the city wall.

The iron plate that fell down would become a bridge between the trolley and the city wall.

Once it reached this point, a steady stream of siege soldiers could rush down from the car.

Looking at the trolley that was getting closer and closer, the barbarian hammer, who had no time to continue firing artillery, subconsciously clenched the hammer in his hand.

But before he was ready to launch an attack, several barrels of flaming oil flew out.

Splash!

Crack!

The flaming oil that fell straight from above shattered after hitting the barrier.

The viscous liquid slowly enveloped the fall.

The slave warriors in the well-traveled vehicles showed a little curiosity and uneasiness in their eyes.

Whatever this thing was, it was definitely not to welcome them.

Whirl!

The blazing flames spread along the flaming oil that fell on the well-traveled vehicles.

Soon, the first two well-traveled vehicles immediately turned into huge burning pillars of fire.

The slave warriors inside, who had nowhere to escape, wailed as they were swallowed by the flames, with nowhere to escape.

The sudden scene immediately made the drow commanders nervous.

They immediately issued a series of orders, ordering everyone to save the last well-traveled vehicle.

Buzz!

The huge mana shield, with the joint efforts of the three beholders, was set on the well-traveled vehicle.

The flying fire oil was also isolated outside, and only fell around the ground of the well-rail car, forming a huge circle of fire.

Ji Fan looked at the slowly falling iron hook, and shouted loudly in a calm and confident tone:

"Mo Dao Battalion, engage the enemy!"

The burly soldiers of the Mo Dao Battalion came up from the back and half surrounded the well-rail car.

The first batch of slave warriors who rushed down were a large group of jackals.

They didn't have time to launch a decent attack before they were chopped into two by the oncoming Mo Dao.

Occasionally, a fully armed ogre, relying on his brute force and thick armor, blocked the first chopped knife with difficulty.

It couldn't stop the second knife that the Mo Dao Battalion soldiers were ready to launch.

The well-rail car on the city wall immediately gave the slave warriors who were crowded below and passively beaten an additional gap for venting.

They crowded onto the well-rail car, and then howled and killed on the city wall.

They didn't want to be burned to ashes by the surrounding flames, that would definitely not be a pleasant way to die!

Unfortunately, the drow elves underestimated their opponents.

Or they didn't expect that the stubborn and face-saving dwarf kingdom would actually be willing to ask for external aid and call for reinforcements.

Moreover, it was the indestructible Modao Battalion that blocked the well-locked carts.

The more the slave warriors rushed, the faster they were hacked to death.

In less than three or four minutes, more than 400 slave warriors were killed.

The pile of corpses almost covered the carriage.

Ji Fan, who was relieved, stared at the three big eyes behind the Jinglan car and thought inexplicably:

"We have to find a way to kill them..."

8000 today

Asking for a monthly pass,

rush!
