Chapter 733 The Temptation of Golden Pearls (8000)

A murloc who can ride a flying dragon!

A murloc who speaks fluent common language!

A murloc wearing magic armor and weapons!

Noticing the lively look in Popo's eyes, Marshal Lothar couldn't help but ask:

"Who is this murloc?"

Facing the curiosity in Marshal Lothar's eyes, Popo smiled and said:

"My name is Popo, the manager of the murlocs in the Bay."

"Lord Matthew has entrusted the solution to the murloc problem to me. If you have any difficulties or requests, please let me know."

Mage Anthony did not speak, and hesitated for a while before continuing to ask:

"Can they all be solved? Do you need us to provide some supplies?"

Spreading his palms gently, Popo answered confidently:

"We don't need any supplies, you We just need to send some people as guides to help us communicate with the lords and nobles in various places. "

"In addition, when we clean up these fishmen, we will properly utilize and collect various resources in the water system. I wonder if you are willing?

In Bobo's tone, there is unparalleled confidence and calmness, and in his focused eyes, there is a hint of wisdom.

This is a fishman that should not be underestimated!

Marshal Lothar had this idea in his mind. He nodded without hesitation to the conditions offered by Bobo and said:

"No problem, I will send adjutants, personal guards and court mages to accompany you."

"I will definitely help solve all your problems. "

Marshal Lothar certainly knew why Popo said that.

He also understood that the idiots in the kingdom would do more harm at such times.

So, Marshal Lothar made a clear statement and expressed his support without hesitation.

If a conflict really occurred, Marshal Lothar would have a chance to ease it, so as not to fail to achieve good things and gain an enemy.

Popo, who received this promise, raised his eyebrows very happily, nodded his wristband with great satisfaction, and said impatiently:

"Hehe, then I'll start."

"Don't worry about the Gulf leader's work! "

Hearing this, Marshal Lothar nodded, his expression very calm.

Since he has chosen to trust the Bay Leader, and the other party has also demonstrated strong strength and ability, there is nothing to worry about.

After getting the conditions for treatment, Bobo smiled at Adam Smith next to him, quickly climbed onto the eye-catching flying dragon, and happily left under the gaze of countless soldiers.

Matthew looked at the calm beach in front of him, raised his eyebrows expectantly and said:

"It's a pity that these guys are scared."

Hearing this, Adam Smith couldn't help but smile, hesitated for a while and immediately said:

"According to the information provided by Lord Menglan, the large force of the Naga army will take about another month. "

Matthew nodded, said a few words to Adam Smith, and then returned to the dragon turtle's head.

Compared to having a good relationship with the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Matthew wanted to capture these rare dragon turtles.

The dragon turtles that could survive the Dragon Madness without going crazy, and experienced the control of the Naga without completely losing their minds, are definitely worth his careful study.

More importantly, the Naga's use of cold-blooded creatures is too simple and crude.

"Go forward and enter the river!"

Matthew controlled these dragon turtles and walked towards the Mississippi River.

At the same time, he did not forget to communicate with the largest dragon turtle:

"What's your name?"

"How old are you?"

"How many times have you experienced dragon blood stimulation?"

"Do you want to experience the baptism of dragon blood?"

"Do you want to get rid of slavery and control?"

"Do you want to live a carefree life? ”

“Just listen to me…”

Matthew’s few words and a few videos, plus the real dragon power, easily “convinced” the dragon turtles.

Of course, Matthew did not expect to make the dragon turtles obedient all at once.

However, this did not prevent Matthew from controlling the dragon turtles and advancing inland along the Mississippi River.

After about half an hour of marching.

Matthew saw Bobo riding a flying dragon and falling from the sky.

Behind him, a large number of sturdy dragon-born fishmen were excitedly looking at the fishmen who were constantly fleeing below.

It can be seen that they are already a little impatient.

Bobo opened the undead aura generator without hesitation, looked at the chaos of the surrounding fishmen, and let out a series of sharp roars:

“Guys, if you want to live, just follow me honestly. "

Popo was not speaking to most of the fishmen, but specifically to those fishmen with a little more intelligence.

Matthew did not interfere with Popo's actions, as he always believed in the talents of the Gulf Territory.

He did not have much time and energy to do various things directly.

Matthew could only provide some guidance and provide them with corresponding space to play.

If he had to take action, it would only be to solve the dangers and troubles beyond their ability.

It has been proved that Popo, who has learned and grown a lot in the Gulf Territory, is already familiar with these things.

Even if the vast majority of fishmen are temporarily free from control, they still behave in a daze.

They are afraid of the momentum and danger of the dragon turtle and dare not approach at all.

Only a very small number of fishmen understood the sound played in a loop, overcame the fear from the bottom of their hearts, and forced themselves to rush over.

Bobo looked at the increasing number of these smart fishmen, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

On the river bank not far away, a large number of huge swamp crocodiles were slowly crawling towards this side.

On the backs of these swamp crocodiles, dozens of fully armed dragon-born fishmen were counting various supplies.

Bobo immediately went up to them, quickly looked through the list, confirmed that the items and quantities were accurate, and said loudly without hesitation:

"Keep going, and reach the nearest tributary of the Missippi River within three hours."

The members of the Kingdom of Lordaeron who were accompanying them showed a little bit of disbelief in their eyes.

They never thought that the Gulf Lord actually controlled the fishmen, and was able to tame and raise dangerous magical creatures such as swamp crocodiles in large numbers.

Some of the court mages of the Kingdom of Lordaeron felt the dragon's might from the special aura of these swamp crocodiles, which made them feel very incredible.

Anna, the leader of the team, couldn't help but cast her eyes on Matthew who was standing still.

She thought that Matthew was secretly doing it, so that he could gather more and more fishmen.

However, Anna soon had no time to think about this.

Another group of flying dragons landed in the panic of many fishmen, and they brought a group of staff from the Bay Territory.

The leader, Xiao Jixiang, carefully looked at the confluence of the three rivers.

Under the incredible gaze of Anna the Mage, she raised a staff full of magical aura and released a high-level spell - Water Dividing Spell!

A huge gap appeared on the surface of the turbulent river, and the constantly flowing magic light prevented the surrounding water from approaching.

A large number of dragon-born fishmen approached, holding various magical tools in their hands.

In a flash of aura.

A huge stone foundation replaced a large mass of mud at the bottom of the river.

A large number of magical cement and various supporting steel structures were quickly piled up.

The entire huge building was expanded from the bottom of the river to the top.

The huge building, tens of meters high, soon "grew" from the river to the surface of the water.

Anna stared at the holes on the building, guessing the function of this unique building.

The huge swamp crocodile soon lay down in various places of the building and suddenly began to lay eggs.

The surging magic fluctuations slowly spread from the center of the building.

A huge magic barrier was built around the entire building.

The dragon turtles who saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.

They could vaguely feel the power of the magic fluctuations, and soon obeyed Matthew's orders, lying down honestly in various places of the building and on both sides of the three rivers.

Just as the dragon turtles were experiencing the novelty of free will, Anna noticed the movements of the underwater dragon fishmen.

These special fishmen were not as the young female wizard imagined.

Through the strength far exceeding that of other fishmen, they attacked the surrounding fishmen and expanded their own power.

They gathered around the underwater building and made some arrangements that Anna couldn't understand.

For example, taking out various water plants and algae from the storage space.

Sprinkle some finger-sized stones everywhere in the building.

What Anna couldn't understand the most was the dark green liquid poured by these dragon-born fishmen.

The dark green liquid blended into the surrounding water, and immediately made the water plants and algae that had just been taken out grow wildly.

The wildly growing water plants and algae only took a few minutes to cover the underwater buildings tens of meters high.

Such a strange effect is clearly a mysterious and expensive magic potion or potion.

"The precious magic potion is not left for the caster to use, but used to grow water plants. Why is this?"

Not only Anna couldn't figure it out, but the members of the Kingdom of Lordaeron who accompanied her were also a little confused.

They stood by the river blankly, as if nothing had anything to do with them.

"What do these murlocs want to do?"

"Why don't you start fighting?"

"Building underwater? Why bother? It's better to build ports and cities directly..."

"I can't figure out what these murlocs want to do, and what is our mission?"

"Just stay where we are? It's better to go back and kill the murlocs..."

"If you don't understand, just obey the orders. Marshal Lothar has already explained it before you come."

"Let's take a look. Lord Matthew of the Bay Territory is here..."

"..."

Little Jixiang, who was leading the team for the first time, listened to the chatter of the people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, blinked playfully, and said to himself calmly:

" If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. "

She looked at Anna's confused eyes and explained with a smile:

"This will be our base for recruiting fishmen, cultivating water monsters, planting magic water plants, and breeding magic pearls."

"We will use this place as the center and gradually advance to other waters."

"It will be a little slow at first, but with the accumulation of experience, the collection of resources, and the increase of manpower, the speed will become faster and faster."

"In the end, we will be able to clear all the dangers in the waters and obtain many production and resource bases."

As he said this, Xiao Jixiang took out a golden pearl and handed it to Anna, who was a little dazed, with a smile.

Anna felt the surging magic power and the unique vitality of the golden pearl, and couldn't help exclaiming:

"Is this a golden pearl? A rare material that can be used to make Ion gems and produce super-class magic weapons and armor?"

Xiao Jixiang nodded with a smile, recalling the words that teacher Alona taught her, and said without hesitation:

"Yes, this is the golden pearl produced by our Gulf Territory, and it is also one of the harvests of these underwater production bases in the future."

"The small stones just scattered are the magic clams cultivated by our Gulf Territory."

"Under our protection, they can grow carefree, and the golden pearls are our reward."

"Each of these golden pearls is worth 2,000 gold coins. If they are processed with magic, the value will become higher."

"If we rely on our Gulf Territory alone, it will take a long time and invest a lot of resources to carry out large-scale production and construction in the entire Mississippi River Basin."

"If there are lords and nobles in nearby areas to help, we can complete the task earlier."

Hearing the birth of the golden pearls and the shocking price, Anna's heart was filled with unspeakable envy, and even a little heartbeat.

But after hearing what Xiao Jixiang said, the clever Anna immediately realized that this was another means of the Gulf Territory.

When the news that these underwater bases can produce golden pearls spread throughout the Mississippi River Basin.

The surrounding lords and nobles will definitely be very happy to come to "help".

Presumably, this is also a situation deliberately created by the Gulf Territory!

Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but be a little surprised.

A plan that the Gulf Territory seemed to be understated could solve the problem that the Kingdom of Lordaeron had not been able to solve for hundreds and thousands of years.

Easily let most lords and nobles reach a consensus on one thing!

Anna even thought more. If the Gulf Territory is willing, it can form a binding relationship with many nobles and lords, and the right to speak is likely to be greater than that of the Lordaeron royal family!

Such an exaggerated situation is likely to become a reality!

Anna thought very well, and the situation developed rapidly as she thought.

Through the sudden increase in news newspapers and various channels, the lords and nobles learned about the situation.

They all burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm and sent people to contact the Gulf Territory to see if they could cooperate in various places in the Mississippi River Basin.

The Gulf Territory agreed to their request and offered relatively generous conditions.

"You provide people and materials, and the Gulf Territory provides technology and gold coins."

"Both parties will jointly build the underwater base, and both parties can obtain 50% of the output of golden pearls!"

As soon as they heard that the Gulf Territory was willing to pay to hire everyone to "work", and the building was a golden pearl production factory that could make everyone rich.

Which lord and noble would not agree to such cooperation?

So, in just a few days.

A large number of manpower and construction sites appeared in various places in the entire Mississippi River Basin.

In addition to building a large-scale underwater production base, some warehouses or docks should also be built in the adjacent areas.

The temptation of golden pearls easily dealt with almost the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron.

The real purpose of the Gulf Territory made many people extremely vigilant!

The Kingdom of Cole Elf, which had been thinking about how to make trouble, stared eagerly at the newly built underwater base in the distance.

The accompanying elven mage could keenly feel that a lot of the elemental energy around was absorbed by it.

The elven mage Cole, who was familiar with the maze, naturally understood what this meant.

Weaken the spell effect of the attacker and enhance its own defense.

This was somewhat similar to the energy reaction of the maze, which made Cole the elven mage a little unpredictable.

The Gulf Territory had just acquired the basic technology for making mazes, and it was immediately widely used?

"Should we take action?"

"Did you see the flying dragon knight in the sky? Anyway, I can't run away."

"What's the use of destroying one or two? The Gulf Territory moved too fast. The nobles and lords of the Kingdom of Lordaeron could not withstand their big hand."

"The Gulf Territory can actually manipulate the murlocs to "work" for them? Why didn't we know it before?"

"The Gulf Territory has a big appetite, and they will transform any intelligent creature that is willing to accept change."

"They don't even let go of the kobolds. When the Gulf Territory recruits a group of demons to help them work, I may not be surprised at that time."

"It's better not to mention this thing, The situation in the New World is not very good. "

"If you ask me, it is the hard truth to withdraw from the New World as soon as possible. If you continue to drag it out, the losses will become greater and greater."

"This has nothing to do with us. We just need to keep an eye on the actions of the Gulf Lords here. No one should act on their own."

"That's right. Those guys in the Shadow Council don't take action, so we shouldn't take it too seriously..."

"Just wait and see. The Nagas are not easy to deal with!"

"I hope these Nagas can bring some pressure to the Gulf Lords and disperse their troops and manpower."

"..."

A lot can be seen from the exchanges between the Cole elves.

They no longer have much confidence in curbing the Gulf Lords through force and attacks.

Now, they are more likely to deal with them like they did with the powerful enemies before.

While promoting their development, they will use various obstacles in an open and covert way.

At the same time, they will also learn silently and absorb the strengths and advantages of others.

Wait for the opponent to show weakness, then use various means to weaken and suppress it, and finally dismember and devour it.

They have solved many enemies and threats through the self-comfort of "long-term thinking".

But facing the completely different Gulf Territory, they always felt a little panicked.

So, they watched helplessly as one underwater base after another was completed.

More and more murlocs were recruited and absorbed by Bobo's team.

The remaining fishmen in the Mississippi River are all engaged in a very cheerful "cannibalism".

Murlocs are such creatures. They will re-select their leaders in the process of killing each other.

It won't be long before these fishmen will turn into small tribes or groups one after another.

Bobo didn't give them this chance.

He handed over the task of expanding the underwater base to the Gulf Territory staff who arrived one after another.

He happily led the dragon-born murloc team to clean up and subdue the surrounding murlocs.

He did not kill the strongest murlocs first like he had done with other competitors before, but rather spared them.

Facing the confused Xiao Jixiang and Anna, the quite happy Bobo gave his own explanation and theory.

"The vast majority of fish people are relatively stupid. At least in their generation, it is difficult for individuals with higher intelligence to appear."

"Therefore, while ensuring that most fishmen can survive, they must be selected and cultivated."

"These fishmen are just a little smart now, not really smart."

"After they learn what they are living for, and have better abilities and firm will, they will be eligible for dragon blood baptism."

"At that time, they will have the basis for gaining true wisdom..."

"This is a painful process and a growing process."

This interesting words came from the mouth of Bobo, the fish-man, and gave Anna a special and weird feeling.

As a more "traditional" mage, she is not as deviant as the arcanist.

But many intelligent creatures and individuals also have a "sense of immediate vision" when viewing experimental materials.

If she doesn't clap her hands and throw a fireball because she doesn't like it, Anna has a peaceful personality.

She was usually attracted by the power of arcanists, but she did not dare to compliment them on their "contemptuous" character.

This sentence has always been circulated in the ancient mage inheritance.

“Those who do not have awe will eventually lose themselves in madness.”

Even if many arcanists decide not to be human anymore, they probably won't be able to escape this ending.

However, Anna is still a little confused about the methods and practices of the Gulf Territory.

One underwater base after another was built.

More and more fish people are living in it.

She looked at the work tasks of these fishmen, and the corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily. She pointed at the fishmen who were pruning aquatic plants and algae and asked:

"Is this part of the transformation? What's the use of this?"

Xiao Jixiang blinked, and while recording various data, he replied slightly cheerfully:

"This is the purpose of territorial transformation, so that they can learn to better support themselves instead of just killing or plundering."

Let the fishmen feed themselves?

By planting these aquatic plants?

Anna, who was a little confused about this situation, quickly received Xiao Jixiang's rigorous analysis and explanation:

"This is a special magical plant with relatively high nutritional value, especially for fish people."

"The fishmen who eat it will grow stronger and faster."

"With them, the amount of food the fishmen need will be greatly reduced."

"In the same area, more fish-men can survive."

"Moreover, these cultivated in the base are just seedlings. In the future, they will be matched with several kinds of magical plants and spread throughout the Mississippi River Basin."

"Through this transformation, we can obtain more magic materials and raise more magic creatures."

"..."

After hearing this, Anna could clearly sense that the transformation of the Gulf Territory was intertwined with various plans.

Bay collars bring it out, highlighting their boldness and confidence.

Anna vaguely felt that the reason why the Gulf Territory behaved in such a high-profile manner must have some special purpose.

Gently patting Lao Liu's head, Bobo said confidently:

"Hey, it won't be long before more swamp giant crocodiles appear in the Mississippi River."

"By that time, we should be able to pick out more potential stocks."

After hearing this, Lao Liu wagged his tail happily, his huge body glided quickly on the water, and happily slid towards the estuary.

There, a more intense battle was going on.

Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Cold water port.

The roar of artillery fire one after another gave Anna a strange feeling.

It has only been a few days, but the Gulf Territory has already done a lot of things.

Even if the Gulf Territory has not been completely resolved, the fishmen of the Mississippi River.

Anna, who may have deduced the development of the matter, looked at the many underwater bases and the armies of various lords in action along the way, and already understood that the murlocs were basically unable to make a big impact.

This made Anna feel unspeakably "tangled".

She didn't know that the "too much" given by the Gulf Territory made many lords and nobles cooperate so well.

Or the Lordaeron royal family gave "too little" to smoothly command the lords and nobles.

She couldn't figure out the problem in this regard for the time being, but she could feel it very clearly.

The efficiency of the Gulf Territory was amazing, and it had a set of mature and very efficient plans and methods.

If she could learn it, Anna felt that her own territory would grow a lot...

Boom!

The iconic sound of the mechanical dragon immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at the large sea of ​​fire on the beach, Anna couldn't help blinking, and immediately understood the Naga's battle plan and ultimate goal.

As long as they could take the port and the estuary, they could go deep into the interior of the Kingdom of Lordaeron along the Mississippi River.

The Naga army could quickly mobilize to any area and form a devastating blow to all enemies who dared to resist.

However, the situation of these Naga armies in front of them seemed a little strange.

Knowing that attacking the port was a dead end, they still rushed forward one after another.

Obviously, the terrain along the coast was relatively flat, but they were unwilling to control the fishmen and sea monsters, bypassing the location of the port and entering the Mississippi River.

Seeing a large number of murlocs being killed, Anna's doubts became more and more.

"Is there a conspiracy?"

Standing on the city wall, Matthew looked at the piled corpses on the beach and raised his eyebrows with interest.

Except for the first day when the Naga army was more cautious and did not continue to attack.

In the following days, nearly 100,000 murlocs were killed by the bombing of mechanical dragons every day.

Regarding the rapid growth of the power of destiny, Matthew was happy, but he would naturally think more.

The Naga was so eager to let these murlocs die.

Is it to reduce the number of murlocs?

To fight a protracted war of attrition?

After Matthew accumulated 50 million power of destiny.

He reasoned and studied the 9th surgical transformation.

At the same time, he further explored the specific situation of the Naga.

Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

You don't know until you check, and you will be shocked when you check.

After the Naga army suffered a brief defeat in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, it quickly continued to advance northward along the coastline.

Several small countries along the way.

Several port cities have been breached by the Naga army.

The fishmen who followed the waters inland have made their inland cities suffer.

In addition, news came from the west coast of the northern continent that a large number of Naga troops had launched a large-scale attack there.

Therefore, the Naga's huge appetite and huge military force beyond Matthew's imagination made the other party's seemingly brainless "suicide" seem commonplace.

However, what was beyond Matthew's expectation was that.

In the news from various places in the Gulf Territory, there was no trace of the Naga landing.

It seems that the Naga just wants to drive away the fishmen and harass the northern continent.

Or, they are choosing suitable targets.

Of course, the Naga may also be looking for something!

However, Matthew can conclude.

With the arrival of the Naga army, a more intense battle will break out sooner or later.

Matthew should have returned to the Gulf Territory. The reason why he stayed here was mainly to meet the Gulf Territory fleet coming down from the north.

The troubles and dangers brought by the Naga have begun to seriously affect the trade routes along the coast of the northern continent.

The Naga army that can launch attacks from underwater is a very deadly threat to most fleets.

Even if the magic warships of the Gulf Territory have developed new weapons to deal with underwater enemies.

Matthew is still a little worried, so he has to take care of it carefully.

After all, although the Gulf Territory is developing rapidly, the cultivation of talents is somewhat lagging behind.

This batch of advanced warships are all elites of the Gulf Territory Navy.

There is no room for error!

Sure enough, just when the warriors of Lordaeron were cleaning up the battlefield on the beach.

The information that the Gulf Territory support fleet encountered a large number of enemies was also passed to Matthew.

Matthew did not hesitate, took Bobo and a group of people who came over, rode on the flying dragon, and flew quickly towards the sea.

Marshal Lothar hesitated for a while, but still did not keep up.

Although he was curious about the strength of the Gulf Territory, he did not dare to take the Naga army lightly.

On the contrary, Mage Anthony followed up and was curiously looking at the very "gentle" dragon.

Why do we say that the dragon is gentle?

Because, in the eyes of most mages, the dragon is very barbaric and has no wisdom, and is curiously greeting Anthony:

"Mr. Mage, how are you?"

"I'm flying a little fast, you can strengthen the airflow shield, so that you can be more comfortable."

"Also, if you encounter an enemy later, don't rush to attack, we will solve it!"

Listen!

So gentle!

So polite!

Anthony felt that if he closed his eyes.

He must be communicating with a gentle and elegant knight.

Of course, Anthony did not worry too much about this, and was immediately attracted by the dragon's strong physique and the magic energy far beyond other dragons.

He felt the dragon's skillful manipulation of various magic devices and spells, and an absurd idea emerged in his mind.

"Could it be that the Bay Lord not only made these dragons smarter and stronger?"

"He also taught these dragons how to cast spells?"

This is too... exciting!

Just when this super-class wizard was thinking about having a good exchange with Feilong and "getting" some useful information.

Suddenly, there were waves of terrible "elemental" riots in the distance!

Who is casting spells?

And it's a legendary spell!

Matthew, who was flying in the front, saw the changes in the sea in the distance with his amazing eyesight.

The giant tsunami with terrible power, under the control of a legendary Leviathan, hit the dark and dark fish people.

However, a bright golden light tore through the waves tens of meters high and split it in half.

"Break the legendary spell head-on!"

"So brave!"

"Who is doing this?"
