Chapter 634: Repairing the Plank Road in the Open, but Marching Through Chencang in Secret (8000)

Bang!

The heavy sandbag burst suddenly, and the white fist was withdrawn as if nothing had happened.

The senior mages of the Cole elves collected data and looked at the Cole elf dragon warrior who was testing his physical strength with expectant eyes.

The latter didn't know what kind of ending he would suffer soon, and was still excited to show off his unprecedented strong body.

Hess looked at the Cole elf dragon warrior, who lifted thousands of kilograms of weight without blushing or beating his heart, and swept across his strong but not bloated muscle group, and recalled a somewhat humiliating scene in his mind.

It was a painful defeat!

It was the only failure Hess had ever had since he was a child!

Hess remembered very clearly that it was only with his strong body that Matthew wore the heavy and highly defensive thunder magic armor, and was able to withstand his several fatal attacks.

The improvement in combat effectiveness brought by physical strengthening was fully demonstrated in Matthew and the dragon warrior.

Hess couldn't help but suspect that Matthew had learned his secret skill - Light and Shadow Clone Slash in just a dozen minutes of fighting, which might also be part of the transformation.

He glanced at the mages who didn't have much clue, and saw their thoughts from their somewhat crazy eyes.

Hess understood the mages' methods, but he didn't think they could quickly crack the secret of the dragon warrior transformation.

The transformation technology mastered by the Gulf Territory has at least the participation of the Great Archmage.

The Kingdom of Cole Elf can't do anything to the Great Archmage and the Floating City in a short time.

This means that with their current technical reserves, they can't solve the problem of dragon warrior transformation.

Hess glanced at the mages who surrounded him, turned around and left without hesitation, and also told his men:

"Continue to send out monitoring troops, and let some adventurers join us..."

"Let them confuse the Gulf Territory's sight and minimize the losses of the scout troops."

Hess had a vague hunch that the Gulf Territory's request for the Death Desert was definitely not as simple as it was now.

Therefore, Hess felt that he should keep a closer eye on the Gulf Territory, and not slack off even when the other party was cleaning up so vigorously.

Soon, the Gulf Territory made a big move.

February 15.

Death Desert.

Gulf Territory Town.

Sunny.

The sky was as usual, with no white clouds, only the clear blue sky.

The town walls were bustling, and the adventurers looked ahead with great excitement.

The Golem Train from the Gulf Territory, carrying hundreds of large containers, slowly drove over.

The sharp braking sound gradually stopped, and the Golem Train slowly stopped.

The large mechanical arms and cranes that had been waiting for a long time in the station immediately became busy.

"Hurry up, don't dilly-dally!"

"Watch out for your head, I'm too lazy to look for your head."

"Hurry up and complete the signal docking and assemble this big guy."

"This is a rare opportunity, we must show our value."

"Don't touch that thing, you idiot, cough cough, sorry, I shouldn't curse..."

"They must continue to receive training, there are still many shortcomings."

"It's not like before now, don't give up your life casually."

"..."

The goblins kept giving orders in the communicator with their unique sharp voice.

They have a very special affinity for the operation of these golem machines. Not only can they get started quickly, but they can also always give some groundbreaking suggestions.

Of course, some suggestions and theories are too jumpy and advanced.

The Bay will give certain rewards and qualitative research after research.

They store these suggestions and theories, waiting for the subsequent progress of productivity development.

Click! Click! Click!

Under the curious eyes of countless adventurers, a super-large machine was quickly assembled.

It has 6 tracks forming the chassis, which can move flexibly in 4 directions: forward, backward, left and right.

Twelve mechanical arms of different sizes require more than 32 skilled goblin engineers to operate.

The huge control center is like a 3-story house.

It is loaded with many machines and exudes a strong magical atmosphere.

Laura, who has a very keen sense of perception, noticed that the bottom of this huge machine is always connected to the ground track.

She can be sure that this huge engineering machine should have been powered by the magic power provided by the rails.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The magic steam engine produced by Victor began to warm up for about half a minute.

The violent vibration sound gave many adventurers around a huge shock.

Under the command of the goblin engineer commander, the goblin engineers operated this engineering machine named "Badao" and adapted the mechanical arms and other parts one by one.

When all parts and areas were confirmed to be normal, Badao, who made a huge noise, began to move forward slowly.

Hundreds of mechanical saw teeth easily dug up the ground that had turned into stones.

The suction pipe absorbed all the broken stones, and then quickly crushed and transformed them.

Behind the saw teeth, square steel frames fell down one by one, filling the space dug by the saw teeth.

Then, the mixed new generation of magic cement was sprayed out from the large pipe, covering the area where the metal frame had been built.

Before the magic cement had completely solidified, several wires as thick as arms were put down.

They are integrated wires containing magic channels and information channels, which can connect cities throughout the Gulf Territory through magic and mechanical means.

Subsequently, the conductors will be covered with a layer of concrete, and several grooves will be left to place and install the rails.

The overbearing giant construction machinery continuously "absorbs" the materials delivered by the golem train and builds them into an integrated magic track.

When the overbearing giant construction machinery drives past, it will leave a magic track wall 3 meters above the ground.

It can avoid burial by dead desert sand and further reduce the cost of maintenance.

The Golem train following the domineering giant construction machinery has also completed the special transformation of its "head".

It also grew seven or eight mechanical arms, and quickly installed the rails on which it transported itself on the magic rails.

They will also perform a new round of processing and reinforcement on the magic tracks so that they can be put into operation immediately.

Only two large construction machinery are needed.

No more than 300 construction personnel.

The integrated construction of the magic track can be completed.

This construction scene really opened the eyes of many adventurers.

They never expected that the Gulf Territory's construction capabilities would reach such a powerful level.

Many adventurers can't help but wonder whether there will be an integrated mechanical golem in the Gulf Territory for cultivating, planting, and harvesting food in the future.

It has to be said that many adventurers are quite imaginative and forward-looking.

"Guys, don't be in a daze, the new mission has arrived."

The crisp and sweet sound came from the adventurer's magic watch and immediately attracted the attention of all the adventurers.

"The indicative development and construction tasks of the Gulf Territory have been announced. Interested adventurers please pay attention and claim them."

The enlarged display image made quite a few adventurers curious.

This was the first time they knew that this seemingly inconspicuous magic watch actually had such interesting functions.

They soon discovered that there were many construction tasks on the task list.

The adventurers who were looking forward to it started discussing it one after another.

"I just said it, the Gulf Territory will definitely not occupy this three-acre land, let us continue digging."

"Haha, let's get ready, we are going to the Desert of Death."

"I don't know how far the Gulf Territory will advance this time. Maybe our progress will be further than that of the adventurers exploring the ruins."

"Huh? That makes sense. Maybe we can accumulate a wave of strength and rush faster than them!"

"Hehe, if you ask me, let's not think so much, complete the task honestly, train more, and improve our strength..."

"Many adventurers who have settled in the Gulf Territory have long said that if you follow the indicative tasks of the Gulf Territory, you will definitely make money..."

"Isn't there another escort mission? If we go together, we can definitely ensure safety."

"Let's act quickly!"

"..."

Led by the Gulf Territory Guards, a large number of adventurers took the Golem Train and brought various tools with them to the depths of the Death Desert.

There are a total of 5 magic tracks, advancing in different directions in the Death Desert.

With the continuous replenishment of supplies and the protection of tens of thousands of adventurers, the advancement of the magic orbit was extremely smooth.

Occasionally, they ran into some dangerous magical creatures, but they were killed by the adventurers with concentrated fire before the Bay Guards could take action.

The Cole elf scout troops watched from a distance.

They didn't dare to stay any longer, so they used the photo crystal to record the progress of the Gulf Territory, and then quickly escaped from here.

The flying dragon troops constantly flying in the sky can always bring considerable pressure to them.

However, the flying dragon knight was very cautious and did not rely on his strong combat power to initiate an attack.

Instead, it serves as the Gulf Territory's eyes in the sky. When something suspicious is discovered, it will guide the combat troops to arrive.

The Cole elves tried to deal with the flying dragon forces in the Gulf Territory, but various plans they proposed were rejected by the parliament.

With Yaya and Matthew's current fighting prowess, ordinary legendary dragons are no match for them.

Under their leadership, the flying dragon troops in the Gulf Territory were invincible.

What’s even more interesting is that the Caledor Councilor, who has suffered a lot of defeats here in the Gulf Territory, is asking for a large amount of resources from the Elf Council.

"The flying dragon army formed by the Gulf Territory is so powerful, so why not expand the Caledor Dragon Knight army?"

For his idea, a group of parliamentarians led by Tigris chose to support it.

Even if a full-scale war with the Gulf Territory cannot be launched now, targeted measures must be taken against the Gulf Territory's various methods.

The sun begins to set.

Just when the adventurers thought that the Gulf Territory troops, which had advanced 20 kilometers, were preparing to continue advancing under the light of the scarlet moon.

The two core large machines in the team took the initiative to stop when they encountered a high-lying sand dune.

Just when the adventurers were confused, the magic watch had completed the update of the "mission content".

"Ding, the guard mission on the first day has been completed. Your performance points are 4, and you have obtained 12 gold coins and 4 merit points."

"You did a great job, thank you for your hard work in the mission."

"Ding, your task list has been updated. You can find tasks that you are interested in and good at."

Laura clicked on the task list curiously, and then saw different tasks with their own characteristics.

There are tasks focused on combat, clearing monsters, and hunting magical creatures.

There are missions to investigate in directions, patrol the surroundings, and join the patrol team.

There are tasks to build, build houses, build walls, and control engineering golems.

There are tasks focused on development, reclaiming sand, digging ditches, and controlling agricultural golems.

There are also those that prefer research and production. This type of tasks is not displayed and only has some requirements for ability level and merit level.

Laura was a little surprised to find that with her current merit level, she could not view the detailed information of this type of task.

Thinking of this, Laura looked into the distance without hesitation, and saw Jifan conducting various missions, and subconsciously shook her head.

She didn't think that her relationship with Jifan was good enough for him to violate his principles.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​trying to understand the Gulf Territory better, Laura chose a patrol mission and devoted herself to the mission.

"We must pay more attention to precautions. Areas in the sky and underground must also be explored and blocked at all times."

"Construct a secondary energy pool as soon as possible to complete the storage of subsequent production energy."

"We will keep a close eye on suspicious individuals among the adventurers. Once they show suspicious behavior, we will arrest them directly."

"Check all types of materials as soon as possible, and be sure to ensure the storage and safety of the materials..."

"..."

After all the tasks were assigned, Ji Fan was not idle and inspected the construction of houses and walls as quickly as possible.

Make sure they meet the needs of all adventurers and Gulf Territory guards before the Crimson Moon appears.

In order to complete the construction tasks better and faster.

This group of adventurers have received construction training in the Gulf Territory and know how to complete the construction of houses and city walls well and quickly.

They were under the command of the Gulf Territory Engineer.

First, use a large Bulldozer Golem to flatten the top edge of the entire dune.

A large pile of sand and soil left in the middle was fed into the overbearing giant machine that had completed the slimming and grouping process.

After adding some special substances and manufacturing a series of semi-automatic operations, the sand was transformed into magic cement.

As the large outer trenches were dug, Bayland engineers opened the valves on the water pipes that had been laid along the Magic Track.

A large amount of clean water gushes out, quickly filling the surrounding ditches and providing a water source for the use of magic cement.

The mixed magic cement was pumped upward by the overbearing giant machinery and transported to the already built house template.

In just a few tens of seconds, the main body of a three-story house was poured and shaped with magic cement.

The adventurers who were prepared in advance took the rapid condensation generator to let the magic cement quickly complete the solidification.

10 minutes later.

The magic cement was completely solidified. The adventurers quickly disassembled the formwork and immediately went next door to assemble the new house formwork.

Bayland staff enter the home to conduct a full range of safety and quality inspections.

After they confirm the acceptance, they will arrange the next batch of adventurers to install and process the simple doors and windows.

The construction process of the house is fast and smooth, full of dazzling beauty of labor.

The reason why adventurers work so hard is not only because the reward for the task is that the more work they do, the more they get.

What's more, as long as the specified number of houses are completed within the specified time, each adventurer can get one for free.

"This is a benefit for builders, regardless of whether you have joined the Gulf Territory or not."

"Even after joining the Gulf Territory, the assigned set can be retained and can be rented or sold to the territory."

"It can be passed down to three generations!"

The high and generous rewards make every adventurer work hard.

With the cooperation of tens of thousands of adventurers.

Just less than 4 hours.

A newly built town appeared on the huge sand dunes.

The adventurers received their own rough houses, avoided the distorted scarlet moonlight, and enjoyed the free dinner provided by the Bay Territory.

In fact, the houses in various parts of the Gulf Territory are not expensive, and each unit can be purchased for only 10 gold coins.

Even if you are a beginner adventurer who has just arrived in the Gulf Territory.

As long as you work hard for three months according to the mission instructions of the Gulf Territory, you can afford it.

The crux of the matter is.

The location and rewards of these houses will be far greater than these 10 gold coins.

Such as Bay City.

Even if there is a batch of expanded houses every month, it is impossible to allocate them to adventurers.

Because it's not for sale at all!

However, the opportunities for development in Bay City will be far greater than those in other towns and camps.

Of course, these are relative to non-Gulf people.

For those adventurers who have joined the Gulf Territory.

These houses given to them are more of an honor and reward.

They have already thought about it clearly.

In the Gulf Territory, the real value is not fixed assets such as houses and farmland.

It is about the continuous improvement of abilities and the continuous accumulation of achievements.

The first night went smoothly.

There was no dangerous attack.

Early morning on the second day.

The second batch of materials and personnel came along the newly built magic track.

They will step up efforts to further strengthen and upgrade the newly built town.

Many adventurers who came here actively explored the surrounding ruins.

The reason is simple. Starting from the current town, they only need to travel a few kilometers to reach the ruins they had excavated before.

Some adventurers' excavation sites are even behind this town.

The newly built town is prospering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ji Fan, who was ready to go, led the pioneering troops to start a new round of advancement.

However, the advancement speed of the second round was not as bold as the first round.

The pioneering troops only advanced for half a day.

Ji Fan issued a stop order to find a suitable location to build a new exploration town.

They rested for two days.

After replenishing more manpower and materials, they started the third round of advancement.

This time, they advanced for about 6 hours and explored 15 kilometers deeper into the Death Desert.

According to the original plan, they were originally prepared to advance for 8 hours.

The reason for the change was that the patrol team led by Laura encountered a large number of ghost monsters.

Keeping a safe distance of 2-3 kilometers, Ji Fan issued an order to build a town.

A large number of adventurers and staff began to work hard.

The third round of advancement of the Bay Territory was temporarily declared over.

Compared with the advancement in the other four directions, the team led by Ji Fan was the farthest one.

"A total of 45 kilometers have been opened up inside the Death Desert. Currently, 3 towns have been built and 4 million gold coins have been invested."

After a simple calculation, Ji Fan couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of Ralph's next "nagging".

Fortunately, the many information and materials discovered along the way gave Ji Fan considerable confidence.

More than 10 large ruins.

More than 6 magical creature nests.

At least tens of thousands of ghost monsters.

These things are better for the Bay Territory than discovering several gold mines.

After all, although gold coins are good, they may not be as useful as these materials.

The Bay Territory agreed with Ji Fan's judgment and temporarily stopped further development, instead increasing the construction and strengthening of new towns.

Build taller and stronger walls.

Build safe and complete underground facilities.

Detect and clear dangers around the town.

Carry out soil transformation on the controlled territories.

Plant more green plants.

Spread out a lot of gold coins, so that the areas occupied by the territory can quickly gain control.

The adventurers made money and improved their strength with the help of the Bay Territory.

They are naturally more willing to spend money to buy adventurer suits to open up the ruins and hunt ghost monsters.

Adventurers with low to high strength and achievements can find tasks suitable for them and complete them relatively smoothly.

Even the dangerous task of opening up the wasteland.

After having the adventurer suits provided by the Bay Territory and the excellent and complete adventurer task allocation mechanism.

The adventurers who fought in teams did not suffer too many casualties.

Even if they are hunting dangerous ghost monsters, the adventurers who are used to the welfare of the Bay Territory can see the danger clearly and handle it with ease.

The adventurers will naturally call on more adventurers to come here to adventure.

With the participation of these adventurers, the Bay Territory invested the second batch of 20 million development funds, and soon realized the return and huge profits.

In order to strengthen the control of the Death Desert and complete the fundamental transformation of the occupied area.

The Bay Territory launched another land reclamation operation.

However, this time the Bay Territory did not continue to go deep vertically, but began to develop horizontally.

The five fingers that were stretched out were all pinched together by building 20 new towns, turning into a larger and stronger fist.

Seeing that the momentum of the Bay Territory's transformation of the Death Desert is getting bigger and bigger, the eyes of the entire northern continent are beginning to look here.

They really want to see whether the Bay Territory has such ability and perseverance!

What's interesting is.

After hearing about the actions of the Bay Territory, some druid organizations in other kingdoms and regions.

They came spontaneously, ready to lend a helping hand to the Bay Lord.

He met another group of high-level druids and arranged them to a newly built town, where they were responsible for the planting and maintenance of poplar seedlings.

Seeing that there were still hundreds of druids who applied in advance, Old Li, who was somewhat amused, finally agreed to the proposal made by Butler Ralph.

"Provide rewards that match their status, ability, and contribution to all those who are willing to join."

At the beginning, most druids were unwilling to accept it.

They would rather the Bay Lord exchange these rewards for more seedlings and fertilizers to plant more vitality on this barren land.

Butler Ralph changed the rewards very simply and established a foundation called "Friends of Nature".

The purpose of this foundation is to provide better development and resources for more druids.

Its income comes from the spontaneous "donations" of druids and the subsequent income generated by large-scale planting of various cash crops.

It provides the Gulf Territory with a "request" for trade, and the Gulf Territory will provide different materials and plant seedlings according to the conditions of different regions.

At the same time, it will also provide some free training and guidance to many intelligent creatures who have embarked on the druid path.

What's more interesting is that as soon as this foundation was established, it was blessed by Mother Earth.

The druids were very happy and were willing to accept the materials and "funding" provided by the Friends of Nature Foundation.

For these noble people who have escaped from vulgarity, the Gulf Territory not only expressed a warm welcome, but also created better conditions for them.

So that they can better realize their ideals and achieve a larger range of "dedication".

The news newspapers, whose channels have spread throughout the entire northern continent, have made a big fuss about the transformation of the Death Desert in the Gulf Territory.

The massive "propaganda" inevitably shifted everyone's attention to the new town being built in the Gulf Territory and those tenacious plants such as poplar trees.

They all have a "good show" attitude towards the transformation of the Death Desert in the Gulf Territory.

Even the main attention of the Cole Elf Kingdom fell on the location of the latest town built in the Gulf Territory.

They naturally thought that the area nearby must be hiding some unspeakable secrets.

In fact, the real focus of the Bay Territory has been gradually deepening into the ruins with the adventurer teams.

Outside the No. 6 town.

235 meters above the ground.

An ordinary adventurer team entered the entrance of this ruins as usual.

They smiled and greeted acquaintances, handed over to the partner Alice Adventure Group, and then entered the next level of the goblin ruins.

They have come here eight or nine times, and most of them have made good gains, and occasionally suffered small losses.

Compared with other adventurer teams, they are considered to be developing at a very good speed.

However, this time, after entering the underground ruins, they did not go to the usual excavation area, but quietly went to a deeper area.

They entered a dark tunnel, and everyone put away their facial expressions and became serious again.

After going down about 300 meters, they came to the entrance of a dark passage.

A team of adventurers who were exactly the same as them noticed their arrival.

The latter were very experienced and were not surprised by their arrival. They skillfully handed over and then began to return to the top.

Judging from their appearance, this was not the first time they had carried out such a "mission".

These people did not remove their disguises, but blocked the entrance to the passage as quickly as possible and set up various traps.

Then, this team of more than 20 people continued to move forward in the dark passage.

After walking about 200 meters.

They came to a dilapidated and crowded space, with debris, gravel, and metal fragments everywhere.

They seemed to be very familiar with everything in front of them.

First, they placed multiple jammers around.

This can effectively avoid the spell of the power of time reversal and detect their traces and movements.

They also cleaned up the garbage around them.

They sorted out a large piece of broken teleportation base.

One of them came out and carefully checked the condition of the teleportation base.

He skillfully replaced more than a dozen parts and actually repaired the originally broken teleportation array.

Matthew felt the familiar fluctuations, carefully checked the situation of the teleportation array, and made a gesture to all the silent people to come closer.

The teleportation array is activated!

Accompanied by a familiar squeezing feeling, Matthew calmly opened his eyes.

What caught his eyes was a large expanse of crystal clear water.

A terrifying and huge figure was floating quietly in the water.

There were three eyes on its head, which were in a half-open state.

It did not look like a fish, but rather crawled slowly like a snake.

The huge body of 12 meters long gave people a visual and spiritual shock.

Especially the half-open big mouth, which could expand to the size of a whole fish head when biting and eating.

At that time, the unlucky person who was swallowed would be able to see the scene of thousands of teeth chewing together.

The gray-brown mucous cortex perfectly blended with the surrounding environment. In this dead and dark space, it seemed to be non-existent.

However, the four huge tentacles that stretched out around its body were instinctively wandering slowly, searching for any traces of prey.

The tentacles were covered with large and small suckers, the smallest of which was as big as a fist, and the largest was as wide as a basin, with a diameter of at least more than one meter.

The suckers were slowly contracting and expanding, constantly turning around like eyes.

The round and thick huge tail swung slowly and regularly, pushing the huge body to wander in this calm water.

Matthew recognized the identity of this behemoth and even remembered its various attributes.
