Chapter 565 Japanese Pirates (8000)

The nearly 20-meter-high giant city wall exudes a shocking majesty under the sunlight.

The gray-white city wall is densely engraved with mysterious inscriptions and patterns.

Carlos looked at the city wall without a single gap, and his eyes revealed a little shock.

The newly built city wall of the Gulf Territory is taller and stronger than the Blood Fortress that is being rebuilt.

He could vaguely perceive that the materials used to build the city wall are very similar to those used to pave the road.

However, the subtle difference should be the secret of the Gulf Territory.

There are three steel gates in the nearly 10-meter-long city gate passage.

Carlos vaguely felt the danger in the passage and carefully looked at the construction workers gathered together.

Compared with the Gulf Territory a few months ago, its changes make people feel more unfamiliar.

Passing through the last city gate, they saw a busy construction site.

Heavy steel machinery more than 20 meters high was lined up against the city wall.

Wrist-thick steel ropes were wrapped around it, transporting huge weapons one after another to the city wall.

Among the various weapons that Carlos and his friends saw, there were large dwarven artillery, giant crossbows, and large catapults.

In addition to these steel and mechanical weapons.

Carlos also keenly noticed several steel turrets engraved with dense magic patterns.

This was a weapon he had never seen before. Could it be a new thing invented by the Bay Territory?

The people of the Yaoyue family looked at the city wall under construction, with incredible light flashing in their eyes.

There were not as many construction workers as imagined, but more engineering golems.

Under the command of the construction workers, these engineering golems carried various materials step by step, built various buildings on the city wall, and transported a large amount of magic cement that had not yet solidified.

All the physical work that construction workers had to do in the past was basically replaced by corresponding engineering golems.

More than a dozen different engineering golems worked together in an orderly manner, completing the assigned work step by step at a speed dozens of times faster than ordinary workers.

They could clearly perceive that a considerable number of those construction workers were professionals, and there were even a few spellcasters.

This was really confusing to the Yaoyue family.

Professionals came to build the city wall?

Spellcasters came to do "hard labor"?

Why was the Gulf Territory so strange?

Before arriving at the Gulf Territory, Carlos did not explain the situation of the Gulf Territory to them.

He only vaguely revealed to them that the army of the Gulf Territory was very strong and keen on training professionals.

In the eyes of the Yaoyue family, the Gulf Territory should be a large barracks that is militaristic, constantly absorbing a large population and training them into soldiers.

But what they saw along the way, like the construction site in front of them, gave them a little shock.

A member of the Yaoyue family couldn't help asking: "Does the Gulf Territory have a good relationship with the Great Arcanist of Knonorman?"

Carlos did not answer directly, but he noticed that everyone else looked at him at the same time.

He understood the feelings of these compatriots very well, but for the sake of the smooth progress of subsequent cooperation, he still introduced them in detail:

"Lord Matthew is a student of the great arcanist of Kno-Norman, who has some cooperation with the Gulf Territory."

Seeing the "I see" expression on their faces, Carlos carefully told them:

"However, the development of the Gulf Territory still depends more on themselves. You will know it after you live here for a while."

"This time our cooperation discussion will last for a long time. You can look around and experience the difference of the Gulf Territory."

Carlos understood the urgency of the New World, but he valued the relationship with the Gulf Territory more.

Although the actual contact time was not long, he had always seen the rapid development of the Gulf Territory.

In fact, Carlos himself also had a part of "investment" in the Gulf Territory, and wanted to take the opportunity to catch the fast track of development, and the result also made him quite satisfied.

Leaving the thick city wall, they saw a larger construction site.

Rows of spacious high-rise buildings rose from the ground.

There was a wide gap between them.

There are also various flowers, plants and trees planted in the middle, and everything looks orderly.

"These are the rental houses prepared for adventurers, both single rooms and suites."

"If you don't want to join the Bay Territory, you have to pay a sum of money to rent a house."

"After all, the Bay Territory does not allow sleeping on the streets or sewers."

"What should I do if I don't have money? This question is easy to answer."

"Apply directly to the Bay Territory, and the Adventurer's Union and staff will force you to arrange a job, so you usually have to pay a training fee passively."

"For adventurers like you who have just come to the Bay Territory, I recommend that you clean up the fishmen along the river first."

"Then, you can go to the outskirts of the Dark Forest and accept the task of collecting and capturing dog-headed people..."

An old adventurer was introducing to a group of young adventurers who were curious about everything.

He held the steering wheel with one hand, controlling the magic sightseeing car driving on the ground, and slowly passed by the Yaoyue family.

Looking at the direction, it should be ready to go to the Silver Moon River, or enter the camp outside the Dark Forest.

Shu You carefully looked at the magic sightseeing car.

The all-metal shell does not look particularly bulky.

When it moved forward, there was no rumbling sound of the steam engine, but instead there was a fluctuation of magic power, which was obviously another magical creation.

With so many golems and magical creations, Shu Yu simply calculated the consumption of magic power and came up with a very scary data.

I am afraid that the energy of a wizard tower cannot supply so much consumption!

Just as she was thinking, she heard her companions exclaiming beside her.

"Is that a church? No way?"

"Such a big church? It's a bit too exaggerated!"

"What are they doing?"

"Thousands of priests? How is it possible!"

"..."

Following their dispute, Shu Yu saw a cathedral that was more than 20 meters high.

The cathedral has an oriental charm and the emblem of the goddess of magic is engraved on the eaves of the pavilion.

The blue color of the whole body symbolizes the mystery of the arcane and the depth of the magic net.

Under the sunlight, the church is surrounded by a dazzling halo.

Compared with other goddess churches, it is less mysterious and more dazzling.

She felt the sacred power lingering around the church, and a little surprise flashed in her black eyes.

Even the Mother Earth Cathedral in Yaoyue City did not have such a dazzling light.

Could it be that this church has entered the "attention" of the Magic Goddess and become her "holy" place?

In the square in front of the church, the statue of the goddess sits on a square platform, and the four walls of the square platform are engraved with the doctrines of the Goddess Church.

If you look closely, you will hear a subtle whisper in your ears. Just when you are about to listen, it disappears.

In front of the statue, thousands of figures wearing priest robes are chanting the doctrines of the Magic Goddess aloud.

The light golden light slowly wanders among them, giving people a visual shock.

After a long while, the people of the Yaoyue family came back to their senses.

They kept discussing the scene they had just seen, and had more speculations about the magical development of the Bay Territory.

But soon, their attention was attracted by a large number of training figures.

On a huge training ground, tens of thousands of figures in training uniforms were sweating profusely under the guidance of their respective instructors.

Shu You soon discovered that these trainees were ordinary people, and the content of the training was also basic combat movements.

Others asked Carlos, asking the doubts in Shu You's heart.

"Is this the army of the Gulf Territory? It does look spectacular."

"It shouldn't be an army? It may be the militia just recruited."

"Although their strength is not strong, their attitude is still quite serious."

"The soldiers selected by the Gulf Territory are really quite good. How many soldiers are there in the Gulf Territory?"

"..."

Carlos shook his head with a smile and tears at their questions, thinking back to the newly recruited soldiers of the Eighth Legion, looking at them with envy and said:

"They are not militia, but people who participate in professional training on weekends. The Gulf Territory helps them train for free."

As soon as this was said, the other people in the Yaoyue family were stunned.

These trainees, whose discipline is not weaker than the soldiers of the Yaoyue family, are not even ordinary militia?

Doesn't that mean that the Gulf Territory will provide professional training for all citizens for free?

So much money, so many resources, is the Gulf Territory crazy?

Just when they couldn't believe it, a patrol team of a hundred people came towards their convoy with neat steps.

Light silver shiny armor, neat and uniform vigorous steps, and powerful and majestic amazing momentum.

Let everyone in the entire convoy of the Yaoyue family have a great touch.

Carlos took the initiative to greet him, smiled and greeted Old John who came to greet him, and returned to the convoy after receiving the letter of stationing.

Pointing at the majestic figure of the patrol team gradually leaving, Carlos said to the others with their eyes wide open:

"See? These are the soldiers of the Gulf Territory. Each of them is quite elite, and they are invincible when combined."

Before the other members of the Yaoyue family recovered from the shock.

Carlos, who led the convoy into the newly built warehouse area, saw a scene that shocked him.

10 five-masted ships were quietly docked at the expanded dock.

Busy large machinery was constantly hoisting things onto the ship.

One after another extended cannon.

One after another super heavy crossbow.

One after another large container.

One after another small canvas boat.

Looking at the constantly improving ships, Carlos couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Does the Bay Territory already know our intention? Or are they ready to open up the coast themselves?"

Such thoughts did not disappear quickly with the passage of time.

On the contrary, as the ships on the dock gradually improved, they attracted his heartstrings more and more.

Carlos did not delay any further. He spent some money to entrust the caravan to the warehouse area, and then took a few core members and went straight to the lord's mansion.

Along the way, they saw dozens or hundreds of teams under construction.

Buildings with oriental charm and western characteristics, pavilions, villas and courtyards are scattered on both sides of the street.

What most interested the Yaoyue family and others was a building in the middle of these housing areas.

The building is 6 stories high, and there are corresponding signs and advertisements hanging outside each floor.

There are also holographically transformed food, clothes, weapons and equipment, training facilities, and very cool posters.

Carlos smacked his lips slightly and asked Old John directly:

"With so many houses expanded, how much has the population of the Gulf Territory increased?"

"There are already 3 million people, and the monthly increase rate is estimated to have reached 450,000."

Recalling the recent flurry, Old John shook his head with a bitter smile, but his eyes were full of joy and pride.

Staring at the poster "Heavy-armored warrior swings an axe and cuts off the dragon's head", Shu You, who followed, asked curiously:

"Whose heroic deeds are being promoted? He killed a dragon?"

Hearing Shu You's question, the other members of the Yaoyue family withdrew their eyes from the dazzling array of goods in the shops on the street.

Thinking of the tragic situation of the territory suffering from the dragon madness, they are very interested in the reason why the Gulf Territory was not affected at all.

Killing a dragon is not easy!

As a high-level magical creature, the latter is inherently very powerful.

There is also the strengthening of dragon blood, and the amplification of the King Killer Star Dragon Madness Lock.

A considerable number of flying dragons have already surpassed the high level and broken through to the extraordinary level.

A month ago, the Yaoyue family was attacked by seven or eight extraordinary flying dragons.

Because there was not much defense, thousands of casualties occurred.

Without deploying legendary-level combat power.

It took them more than two weeks to test and find the opponent's weaknesses.

At the cost of sacrificing hundreds of elite soldiers, these extraordinary flying dragons were killed and the small dragon disaster was dispersed.

Therefore, they are naturally very interested in the high-end combat power of the Bay Territory.

Who knows that old John smiled slightly and recommended it to them in a very solemn manner:

"Ha, this is a film produced by the film and television company of our territory, which is specially made to fight against the dragon madness disaster."

"The soldier on the poster is a microcosm of the thousands of soldiers in our Gulf Territory."

"There are more than 1,000 warriors who killed flying dragons in the Gulf Territory at present. More than 15 extraordinary flying dragons have been killed, and 12 of them are the credit of the soldiers of the Gulf Territory Army."

"The film will be played 48 times a day in the cinema of the rest center of each community for people to watch at different time periods."

"If you are interested, you can also go to the movie square to watch it. There are more people there and the viewing experience will be better."

Movie?

Film and television company?

The novel words made everyone in the Yaoyue family curious.

They looked at the beautifully made posters again and had the urge to go and see it.

Although Carlos was curious, he had more important things to do at the moment, so he hurried towards the lord's mansion.

Ralph, the butler in the banquet hall, smiled and asked Carlos to sit down.

As the leading family in the eastern province, the Yaoyue family's presence in the eastern coastal area is not very obvious, but Butler Ralph is well aware of its strength and influence.

There are many important members like Carlos who serve in the Imperial Legion for the Yaoyue family.

The dazzling array of food made Carlos temporarily put aside his worries and enjoy the food.

Shu You looked curiously at the gray dwarf who was drinking beside him. The latter did not forget to grab a roast chicken and stuff it into his mouth in between drinks.

The amber-colored charred chicken skin made Shu You, who usually eats a very light diet, inevitably salivate.

When she took the first bite, the rich aroma of honey turned into the sweetness of the chicken, which kept rolling and jumping between her lips and teeth.

The teeth only had time to chew twice, and the greedy tongue had already rolled the food into the stomach.

Shu You felt like she was possessed, and took another bite of the juicy chicken leg.

The chewy chicken gave her an unprecedented Q elasticity and firmness.

She ate up all the big chicken legs, not even the small strips of meat between the bones and tendons.

She couldn't help but curiously drink a sip of the lavender sour plum soup. The sour and sweet taste, coupled with the refreshing coolness, neutralized the light greasiness, leaving only a moving fragrance.

After eating, Shuyou looked at the other companions who were eating with a blushing face, and immediately felt much better.

Just as Shuyou was curiously looking at Ralph, the housekeeper who was also eating happily, a crisp voice came from her ears, making her look over.

"Ah, welcome to the Bay Territory, everyone should have a good time here!"

The cheerful Yaya, holding Oriana who wanted a lollipop in one hand and Guoguo who was drinking ice cream in the other hand, nodded to Shuyou with a smile.

Feeling the majesty and mysterious atmosphere that came from the other person inadvertently.

Thinking of Shuyou's identity, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating wildly. She forced a smile on her face, nodded and said:

"The food in the Gulf Territory is very delicious and very much to our taste. Thank you for your welcome, Lord Yaya."

Yaya tilted her head and glanced at her. There was a little curiosity on her chubby little face. She seemed to remember something and said to her with a smile:

"If you have any ideas to improve your magic equipment production, you can go to the United Factory to have a look."

United Factory?

Thinking of the Gulf Territory's high-level magic equipment that has been selling well in the Netheril Empire and even other countries recently.

Shu You, who couldn't forget it just after seeing him, felt bursts of excitement and joy in his heart, and he quickly nodded respectfully and replied:

"Thank you, Lord Yaya, for your advice."

Smiling at Shu You, Yaya's little hand behind his back was instructing Orianna and Guoguo.

Each of them carried a roasted whole lamb and roasted suckling pig and sneaked away.

Seeing the dumbfounding scene in front of him, Shu You felt a little cheered. Names like Mordenkainen and Ma Youfu flashed through his mind, and he wished he could leave the table and go to the factory to have a look.

On the contrary, Carlos looked at her suspiciously, with many thoughts passing through his mind.

He is very aware of Yaya's "temper". He only smiles at people he likes and is interested in, and doesn't have much interaction with others.

If Shu You, the younger sister, could manage her relationship with Ya Ya, then there would be no need to worry about the problems she was worried about before.

Of course, Carlos is also very aware of the special nature of Yaya, and he doesn't even dare to remind him. He can only rely on Shu You's own luck.

After enjoying the delicious food they had never experienced before, everyone in the Yaoyue family is still thinking about it.

They resisted the urge to drink wine like dwarves and followed Carlos into the conference room invited by Butler Ralph.

Butler Ralph's body unabashedly exudes the aura of a high-level person.

Managing the development of the entire Gulf Territory has greatly benefited his "butler" career.

Carlos couldn't help but guess that if the Gulf Territory continued to develop at such an alarming rate, he might be able to witness the birth of a legendary butler.

Seeing the holographic magic image of Butler Ralph clicking on the map, Carlos quickly put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. A faint smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he asked expectantly:

"Can the 40 dragon-hunting crossbows that the Yaoyue family applied to purchase be shipped?"

Smiling and nodding, Butler Ralph's expression was still very gentle.

He did not change due to the change in Carlos's expression, and still gave people a sense of comfort like a spring breeze:

"The dragon-hunting crossbow is relatively expensive. The Gulf Territory is about to apply for one-way teleportation permission from the Yaoyue family. Of course it would be best for Knight Carlos to come."

Noticing Carlos's relaxed expression, Butler Ralph, who was slightly moved in his heart, had no intention of continuing to play charades with them and asked straight to the point:

"Your Excellency said that the Yaoyue family intends to cooperate with our Gulf Territory. I wonder what kind of cooperation it is?"

If it had not come before, everyone in the Yaoyue family would have agreed that they only needed the support of the Gulf leadership.

But now they were just taking a quick look, and the peculiar bay collar left a very deep impression on them.

They have carefully thought about it along the way, whether it is the agricultural golem, the training methods of the people, or the construction speed of the engineering golem, it can bring different inspirations to their Yaoyue family.

Whether the Yaoyue family purchases it or cooperates with the Gulf Territory to develop it, it can bring huge benefits visible to the naked eye.

They were moved, but they did not propose such a large cooperation authority, so they were quite hesitant.

On the contrary, Shu You's thinking was still clear and he said to Butler Ralph with great certainty:

"It's like this. Our Yaoyue family discovered a group of rare metal minerals in the hilly area on the northeastern coast of the New World."

"Among them, two types of mithril and magic iron ore have been discovered. The reserves are at least the size of medium-sized veins and are estimated to be worth more than 300 million gold coins."

"But there's an important issue that needs to be addressed in order to fully develop it."

"We, the Yaoyue family, cannot clean up the deformed flying dragon nest on the edge of the local Shiwan Mountain. We need the strong combat power of the Gulf Territory soldiers."

Magic iron?

Ore vein group?

Aberrant flying dragon?

nest?

The first time he came into contact with these names, the corresponding data and information appeared in Butler Ralph's mind.

The value of the rare metal vein group is very high, and hundreds of millions of gold coins should only be a preliminary estimate.

In addition to mithril, magic iron is also a vital magic production material.

Its function is very important, that is, it can greatly stabilize the effects of spells, magic circles, and enchantments. It is a crucial raw material to achieve permanent enchantment.

With its addition, it can not only improve the stability of the spell array and make it less susceptible to external influences, but also greatly extend the time and effect of the spell.

It is of vital significance for the creation of storable spell scrolls, magic equipment, props, ultra-long standby golems, and combat puppets.

The Gulf Territory manufactures a wide variety of golems.

Produce many high-end magic equipment and props.

A large mage tower will be built again.

It includes facilities such as magic passages, magic energy storage pools, large and small teleportation arrays throughout the territory.

Requires strategic rare metals including mithril and magic iron.

After experiencing the blockade of surrounding territories, the Gulf Territory no longer wants to leave the fate of development to others.

No amount of this rare metal is too much!

However, the prospects for cooperation are indeed bright, but in order to eat this big cake, it is necessary to use a knife.

One hundred thousand mountains.

Aberrant flying dragon.

This is the exclusive name of the New World.

The former represents a wild mountain range of nearly 10 million square kilometers and is extremely dangerous.

There are many dangerous, deadly, and terrifying aberrant magical creatures living inside.

Many exploration teams in the northern continent have spent hundreds of years and invested countless manpower, material and financial resources.

A series of fortresses and safety areas were built on the coastal part of the northern part of the 100,000 Mountains.

Moreover, it is still relatively safe.

From time to time, the arcane newspaper can report about the fortresses and cities of a certain family and force in the New World.

News of being attacked by a 100,000-strong mountain beast tide and some dangerous creature, resulting in heavy losses or the entire army being annihilated.

Even the exploration team headed by Cole Elves gave up their plan to explore southward from the northeastern part of the New World.

Instead, start from the snow-covered and towering Gray Mountains in the northwest.

As a result, outstanding results have been achieved, and many rare metal veins and gem mines of amazing value have been discovered.

The aberrant flying dragon is a terrifying predator at the top of the food chain in Shiwanda Mountain.

As soon as they reach adulthood, they possess extraordinary strength.

It is famous for its extremely powerful hand-to-hand combat ability and its size is not inferior to that of a real dragon.

And depending on the characteristics of their deformed nests, these deformed flying dragons have special and powerful talents and abilities.

There are only 4 known species.

Extraordinary spell resistance, extraordinary strength increase, extraordinary poison, extraordinary flesh and blood devouring.

Some of the individuals who lived long enough even possessed legendary levels of strength.

And because it accepts the distortion of aberration, more terrifying and grotesque horror abilities will be born.

Moreover, because of their gregarious nature, their challenge level is not inferior to that of true dragons of the same rank.

Two lairs meant that there were at least 30 extraordinary-level deformed flying dragons!

Maybe even a legendary level existence!

Even with the current strength of the Gulf Territory, it is not easy to solve such troubles.

However, considering that the Gulf Territory is far away from the New World, the Lord has always had plans to explore and understand it.

Butler Ralph felt that he could get more information from the Yaoyue family. After learning more details, he would discuss it with the lord.

Noticing Butler Ralph's expression and understanding the difficulty of this cooperation, Shu You decisively revealed a trump card given by his family:

"Considering that the Gulf Territory needs to mobilize a large number of soldiers, if your territory is willing to cooperate, we are willing to donate the manufacturing technology of giant steam engines to the Gulf Territory."

Giant steam engine!

Butler Ralph raised his eyebrows slightly, noticed Carlos's calm expression, carefully looked at Shu You's young face, smiled slightly and said:

"I will report to the lord immediately. There is a high probability that cooperation can be achieved. Everyone, go to the Bay Area for a walk first, and you will know the news in the evening."

Although Butler Ralph did not agree directly, his attitude made the people of the Yaoyue family feel more at ease.

This is indeed a major event, representing the military mobilization of more than tens of thousands of people and a sea voyage of more than 20,000 kilometers.

Even for a big family like the Yaoyue family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Also because of the impact of this large-scale dragon madness disaster, they were unable to distract themselves from advancing, so they had no choice but to cooperate with the Gulf Territory.

Butler Ralph made the decision in just a few words, but they were worried that the Gulf leader might have other ideas.

After receiving the news, Matthew looked thoughtfully at the information provided by the Yaoyue family. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised involuntarily, and he said expectantly:

"The manufacturing technology of giant steam engines is truly a masterpiece!"

Before the arcane technology, mainly "Mithra's Core", was developed and promoted.

The steam engine technology unearthed from many ruins is the best technology at the core of energy power.

It is also not powered by burning coal to boil water like in the original world.

A part of magic technology is also used to replace the expansion of gas and mechanical push.

Its fuel is very expensive, and the elemental fuel is consumed to operate the elemental furnace.

Its mechanical kinetic energy is indeed very powerful, and it is also very controllable and safe.

If it weren't for being too bulky, requiring a large amount of metal, and proficient in ultra-high mechanical metal processing technology, it would be very difficult to manufacture.

Energy drives led by elemental energy pools may not necessarily be able to compete with it.

However, giant steam engine technology is still very rare.

Because of its flexible adjustability and safety, it is very suitable for use on large battleships.

Large warships that can enter the Sea of ​​Death and cross the Caribbean Sea still need giant steam engines to drive them.

Only by relying on the powerful power provided by giant steam engines can warships escape from those terrifying twisted monsters in the deep sea.

Matthew values ​​​​the giant steam engine even more. The mechanical technology and metal processing technology contained in it can bring the production capacity of the Gulf Territory to a higher level.

While developing magical power, Matthew also hopes to take more paths.

With these giant steam engines, the Gulf Territory can also produce super large ships with more than 7 masts to complete power projection across two continents.

Thinking of the rich minerals and resources in the New World, Matthew's lips curled up slightly.

However, he suddenly thought of something, turned to the waiting butler Ralph and asked:

"Have you collected all the information about the last pirate group?"

Butler Ralph already understood what Matthew was thinking, and after taking out the information, he said:

"They are a band of Japanese pirates who mainly roam the southern part of the East Coast, plundering ships and merchant ships."

"Occasionally they will enter the inland and launch attacks on some territories and cities. They are wanted by many kingdoms and forces."

"Their base is on an island on the edge of the Eastern Sea of ​​Death, with a population of about 500,000 and 3 pirate cities."

Japanese pirates!

Matthew's eyes flashed with hatred as if it were real. After laughing loudly, he said:

"This is really fate. It's just right to settle new and old grudges together, and let the Yaoyue family see our strength."

Fighting the devils, even the devils from another world, is my favorite!
