Chapter 771 The Age of Magic Is Coming!
Various beautiful pictures have deeply attracted many people.
As long as they are not lords or nobles, given the current social structure and people's lives in the northern continent.
This is a place where I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, there is a free house to live in, there are better and better jobs, and my children can receive the best education.
It seems to be a bit more wonderful than the paradise they usually imagine.
More importantly, the Gulf Territory is not as "exclusive" as Paradise and will only accept believers of certain gods.
It is visible to the naked eye and even within reach of some people.
Many people have lost loved ones, families, and friends as a result of chaos, disaster, and increasing exploitation.
Through various channels, I have heard news about the Gulf Territory and read newspapers from the Gulf Territory.
In their hearts, they will inevitably have thoughts about this.
Now, I suddenly saw such a picture, and saw many of my former "comrades" living such a happy and beautiful life.
I thought about what I would eat tomorrow, but still had no idea.
"How is this possible?"
"Why can they live a good life? We have to suffer so much?"
"Didn't the Gulf Leader say that? As long as you are willing to endure hardship, there will be endless suffering."
"What they say is too heartbreaking, isn't it? It's too much!"
"This is not too much. They also said that even if the vast majority of people try their best, they are unable to change the surrounding environment."
"But when you get to the Gulf Territory, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to change your life and that of your family."
"I heard that Gulf Territory is still recruiting people. I plan to leave tomorrow."
"Those guys can live so well, why can't we?"
"Yes, I heard that the Gulf Territory has specially arranged a transport fleet to send us there for free, and also provides meals and clothes."
"We used to worry about what the Gulf Council was up to, but now we have nothing. I can do whatever I want if we can have a few good meals..."
"Let's go together!"
"good……"
"..."
Discussions like this are repeated throughout the northern continent.
Early morning on the second day.
The temporary reception area at the entrance of each caravan in the Gulf Territory.
The old and young in ragged clothes all looked at the slowly opening door with hopeful eyes.
Fortunately, what awaited them was not a cold dismissal or scolding, but a smiling registrar and a cauldron with the faint smell of food.
Adam Smith came out and shouted to the whole street in a loud voice:
"Come here and line up to register. You can receive free food, timely cleaning, and clean clothes."
"Of course, if any of you have done bad things or harmed innocent lives, you can leave alone or report in advance."
"We will conduct an open and fair trial in accordance with the laws of the Gulf Territory, and give those who proactively report a certain degree of opportunity to reform."
"If we had waited to find out, the results would have been completely different."
The crowd caused a commotion, but soon calmed down.
On both sides of Adam Smith, four tall Dragoon No. 1 Golems were staring at everyone on the street with their burning red eyes.
Despite the production and development of the Dragoon No. 2 Golem, it does not mean that the Dragoon Golem No. 1 will be eliminated.
On the contrary, the Dragoon No. 1 Golem, which has been tested by time and actual combat, has been improved and perfected more than 20 times.
It only has the production resources and difficulty of ordinary high-level elementary golems.
But he has a high-level peak combat level.
The difficulty of repairing the mid-level golem.
As long as three hours of training are required, the support staff can complete the rapid recharging, and this function is simple to operate.
Possessing combat intelligence no less than that of ordinary soldiers.
Whether it is combat effectiveness, combat performance, production difficulty, resource consumption, energy replenishment, or logistics maintenance.
They are all optimized to an extremely good level.
The price of such a mature and excellent steel golem is only 50,000 gold coins, which is cheaper than ordinary steel golems.
Even when it is produced and sold.
Added are procedures that can be called justice, such as "will not attack civilians without any combat capability", "people wearing the Gulf Territory emblem", "will give priority to attacking deeply aberrated creatures that have lost their minds".
Let some people with ulterior motives complain.
However, its reliability and high cost performance have made Dragoon No. 1 Golem one of the best-selling products in major chambers of commerce in the Gulf Territory.
Their sales volume suddenly soared to 750 units from 55 units in the first half of the year.
Sells some matching simple repair devices and charging equipment, as well as charging crystals unique to the Bay Territory.
Its total value is as high as 40 million gold coins, and the profit is as much as 34 million gold coins.
And experienced yesterday's "war live broadcast" situation.
After witnessing the strong performance of Dragoon No. 1 Golems in guarding the city wall and withstanding the pressure.
The number of purchase orders has soared to 1,500 units.
The total value has reached 100 million gold coins!
Because of this, the Gulf Territory's caravans in the northern continent will be equipped with as many Dragoon No. 1 golems as possible.
Not only can it enhance the strength of the guards, but it can also serve as a vivid advertising sample and sell a few more units by the way.
Of course, for those who want to join the Gulf Territory, facing the terrifying figure of the Dragon Cavalry No. 1 Golem, if they still want to join.
Prove that they have a certain determination and will not give up easily.
Instead of being like those who leave secretly or have ulterior motives, they hesitate, hesitate, and finally give up because of a little thing or someone else's instigation.
The very experienced members of the Gulf Territory caravan will do a similar simple screening.
This can ensure that the selected people can be a little more obedient.
They can better accept the education of the Gulf Territory and integrate into a beautiful and peaceful life more quickly.
They will remember what the Lord said.
"These people are not compatriots in our territory yet."
"We need to save too many people, save those who are willing to believe in us first."
"We have paved the way for them, 99 steps to a beautiful and happy life."
"If they are not willing to take even the first step!"
"Then we can only say that we are not destined to be together."
Most of the staff of the Gulf Territory agree with the Lord's statement.
In fact, they are still a little worried in their hearts.
Worried that the Lord would accept more and more people unconditionally in the future, and treat them well without any bottom line, thus causing complaints from other people in the territory.
Fortunately, the Lord has always been wise and always kept his mind, never asking everyone to do things beyond their ability.
The big guys in the Gulf Territory never have to worry about such things.
Moreover, because the Lord has become a great arcanist, he will have a life span of at least hundreds of years in the future, and he will definitely be able to lead everyone to live a better life.
After hearing this, the people lined up next to them after a certain degree of turmoil.
They seemed to be able to see clearly who was doing good for them.
The first group of people were brought in, and with a little worry, they tasted the rice porridge prepared for them by the Gulf Territory.
The rice porridge was very delicious. They not only tasted the rare meat flavor, but also tasted the unprecedented sweetness.
That was the sugar specially prepared for them, which gave them a lot of happiness.
A little bit of sweetness hidden in their genes made them immediately let go of their guard against the Gulf Territory and began to obey various arrangements.
The very skilled staff of the Gulf Territory took them to take a shower, change clothes, and make further arrangements for rest.
In order to eliminate the vigilance of others, the entire closed process and camp will now provide some space for observation.
Many people who watched from afar saw them enter and their whole appearance changed completely.
Not only did they become white and clean, but they also smiled and widened their eyes in anticipation.
They did not hesitate any more, and rushed forward one after another, and began to line up very enthusiastically.
Even some guys who had done bad things took the initiative to find the Gulf Territory caravan to report.
In their words: "Instead of struggling to die here, it is better to go to the Gulf Territory and be a full ghost."
"At least my relatives can get a better life."
Such scenes appeared in various cities in the northern continent.
The subsequent data accumulation and the rapid changes in the absorption of characters were transmitted back to the Gulf Territory by the leader of the caravan.
The publicity plan has achieved remarkable results, and the rapid growth of various data has made the publicity department of the Gulf Territory very happy.
They quickly cut and adjusted the various images and pictures gathered by the caravans.
Under Matthew's guidance, a new promotional video was made and sent to caravans everywhere.
Lianna looked at the data and noticed that in addition to the increase in civilians, which was several times higher than usual, the number of adventurers also increased significantly. She asked curiously:
"Teacher, adventurers also hope to have a better life, but why didn't they come here before?"
Matthew smiled faintly, thinking about the reasons studied by the Gulf Territory's General Staff, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"There is a saying in the East that you are afraid of your brothers suffering, and you are also afraid of your brothers driving Land Rover."
"Adventurers who come to the Gulf Territory will worry that there are too many adventurers who are called here, squeezing their opportunities to make money."
" Adventurers who did not come to the Bay Territory, seeing the gains of these adventurers, would deliberately block their news and even tell some lies while being jealous. "After all, those adventurers are usually good at cultivating in one place and firmly occupying the most benefits there." "Another part of the adventurers are controlled by the nearby lords and nobles, becoming their thugs or collaborators." "They will influence the ideas of most adventurers, safeguard their own interests, and ensure that there are enough people to exploit." Matthew broke down the interests of the entanglement and taught Lianna little by little. As Lianna's strength became stronger and stronger, her achievements became greater and greater, and she was also willing to develop in this area, Matthew naturally did not hesitate to teach her. There should be no Land Rover in the East. This is a new generation of golem armed trucks that the Bay Territory has just produced. This golem armed truck has strong protection capabilities, excellent mobility, and amazing lethal weapons. It can meet the combat needs of a 12-person adventurer team. Its cost of up to 8 million gold coins is only willing to be configured by some large adventure teams in the Bay Territory.
"Well, the teacher should be using it as an analogy."
Lianna, who suddenly thought of this, carefully looked through various data, trying to understand the secrets and changes.
Matthew confirmed that the effect here could continue to improve, so he handed it over to Liana to add to her burden.
Matthew turned his attention back to the battlefield in the Black Mud Swamp.
Compared with last night's continuous artillery attack, today's attack method in the Gulf Territory seemed less violent.
However, the number of long-range artillery has been slightly reduced, and there are several more attack methods for close combat.
The fragility of the fish-men's bodies and the destructive power of the magic heavy bows were far beyond what they could bear.
The same is true for the impact of explosive bombs, in order not to waste lethality and materials.
Gulf Territory has specially developed ammunition that is slightly less powerful and has greater penetrating power.
Similar to the armor-piercing bullets in Matthew's previous life!
The outstanding properties and effects of various rare metals and rare alloys are even more amazing than what Matthew knew in his previous life.
The "transportation creativity" from players has also made certain weapons in the original world shine.
The reason why Matthew can build a kingdom is inseparable from the inventions and creations of the players.
It is a pity that at that time, Matthew trained too few talents, and the population in the kingdom was far from enough. Even if he had better technology, he could not quickly digest and introduce new ones.
In the end, Matthew and many players failed.
Previous failures gave Matthew more experience and lessons.
Now, the foundation that Matthew has laid has gradually given generous "returns".
Matthew can also mix some brand-new weapons and equipment with various technologies discovered in the Gulf Territory in a unique "on-demand" way.
Let it appear naturally. As soon as this inspiration appears, Matthew can give the corresponding task.
The major research institutes in the Gulf Territory, with many talented people working together, can successfully "create" it.
Therefore, heavy machine guns and light machine guns appeared in this battle.
Heavy machine guns, under the control of the leading shooters in the bay, spit out fiery snakes of destruction.
The 12.7mm caliber chain-loaded ammunition can easily tear the fish-man's body to pieces, and then penetrate seven or eight other bodies.
With a range of more than 2 kilometers, it can easily form a death blockade and kill most of the murlocs rushing over.
The more flexible and lightweight light machine gun can be carried by Gulf soldiers and use flexible and complete shooting methods to eliminate opponents in pieces.
Only a handful of murlocs were able to get to the bottom of the city wall and face the melee troops specially put down by the Gulf Territory.
They will use these murlocs for actual combat training, continuously improve their strength, and complete assessment training at the same time.
Occasionally, there are scattered powerful sea monsters that can withstand heavy machine gun fire and rush towards them.
The combat puppet team, consisting of one Dragoon No. 2 Golem and three Dragoon No. 1 Golems, will cooperate with the soldiers in targeted elimination operations.
All kinds of weapons and equipment were brought out for use and tested in actual combat.
Gulf Territory was able to accumulate more data and be better prepared for subsequent transformation and improvement.
In the unknown subsequent battle.
The Gulf Council carries out transformation and rapid production of various new weapons.
This is used to conduct sudden war simulation experiments.
The huge commotion caused by the Gulf Territory naturally caused an uproar among other kingdoms, organizations and forces.
They are afraid of the rapid development of the Gulf Territory and want to prevent the Gulf Territory from absorbing more people from all over the world.
Even if these people are a burden to them, they are a sore that needs to be cut away.
However, they are not willing to see the Gulf Territory develop rapidly in such a way.
But the connection between them and the Gulf Territory is no longer as few as before.
In fact, there are quite a number of lords and nobles who have very close ties with the Gulf Territory.
Some people want to target the Gulf Territory, while others will not let them succeed because it will harm their interests.
This is the quiet layout of the Gulf Territory.
Gulf Ling continues to collaborate in building factories in various regions and places various acquisition orders, which brings great influence.
It is impossible for the various forces, territories, and even kingdoms to "take action" on the Gulf Territory, which is like a piece of scattered sand.
There is little benefit in interfering with the Gulf Territory's population absorption, and it may even cause great losses.
In this case, unless someone takes the lead to stand up, find a valid reason, and work together to "siege" the Gulf Territory.
The Cole Elf Kingdom did it, and contacted more than a dozen kingdoms very quickly, and explained the reason to them without concealment.
"The Gulf Territory is developing so fast, has such a strong desire for expansion, and has so many powerful weapons. It will definitely trigger a terrible war of aggression in the future."
"We need to cut off the tentacles of the Gulf Territory first, then inform everyone of the threat of the Gulf Territory, and continue to block contacts and transactions with the Gulf Territory."
"The magic factory in the Gulf Territory is indeed very productive. They should think about everyone and produce good products at the right price for us, instead of all the money being made by them."
"We should join forces to suppress the Gulf Territory's growing ambitions."
"Even within the Netheril Empire, there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the Gulf Territory."
"What are you still hesitating about?"
It has to be said that the Cole Elf Kingdom is very sophisticated in its methods and looks at the essence of things quite well.
He also has a very accurate idea of the thoughts of other rulers of the human kingdom.
If they were to face the Gulf Territory alone, no one would be willing to listen.
But if we all stand shoulder to shoulder, we can still find a way to bite off a piece of fat from the bay collar.
With the Cole Elf Kingdom taking the lead, these greedy human lords and nobles will definitely be more than happy to take action.
The Kor Elf Council's plan succeeded.
Many lords and forces expressed their approval overnight for the plan proposed by the Cole Elf.
But just when they were gearing up and preparing for a "battle" with perfect coordination.
They suddenly received a research "invitation" from the Gulf Territory.
"In order to deal with various dangers and disasters, and to fight against evil forces like orcs, Japanese pirates, and Naga armies."
"The Gulf Leader sincerely invites all kings, lords, and nobles to send professional envoys, manpower, and caravans to come to the Gulf Leader for a gathering."
"The purpose of this gathering is to jointly research and produce various new weapons invented by the Gulf Territory."
"Of course, because the development of these weapons requires a lot of professional skills and knowledge, I hope that when you come to the gathering, you will bring at least 10 master-level production and research talents with you."
"Various weapon technologies that have been researched and improved will be shared with participating forces free of charge."
"The Gulf Territory will also provide production technology and production lines for one or more weapons to all representatives of forces who support this great cause."
"The more contributions you make, the greater your rewards will be, the better weapons you will get, and your strength will become stronger."
In front of the Gulf Territory, there may be some disguise of "tacit understanding".
As soon as the last two sentences came out, all the kingdoms, forces, and organizations that received the invitation immediately understood.
"I'm here to invite everyone to eat meat together. Those who are willing to come and support me will basically gain something. The more effort they put in, the greater the harvest will be."
In order to make everyone more interested, Bayland also very considerately displayed the light and heavy machine gun battle scenes and effects very clearly.
These have not been announced to the people, but have been known to the various ruling classes.
Now, there are two roads before everyone.
Route 1: Follow the Cole Elf.
Everyone worked together to bite the fat off the bay collar.
As for how to work together?
How much can you get?
Everyone doesn’t say it with their mouths, but in their hearts they actually have the same idea.
Route 2: Cooperate with the Gulf Territory.
Various parties will "research" together and continue to follow the cooperation method of the Gulf Territory.
Without spending too much effort and resources, you can obtain the technology of excellent weapons and equipment.
If we work harder and cooperate more deeply with the Gulf Territory, we can get production lines for these powerful weapons and equipment.
It is not difficult to choose between these two paths.
The future of the former is uncertain, and no one is confident that they can take food from the Cole elves.
The interests of the latter are visible to the naked eye. Everyone has cooperated with the Gulf Territory, and basically no one has suffered a loss in the cooperation.
So, the cheerful Cole Elf Council.
Still waiting for the various forces to speak, they rushed to pay homage to the dock.
Together, under their command, everyone blocked the Gulf Territory tightly, tearing it up and devouring it bite by bite.
The dream was pretty good, but I woke up a little too quickly.
All the major forces had sent people over in name, but they didn't seem to be too "cold" to the various slogans shouted by the Cole elves.
The Cole Elf Council was a little depressed by their reaction.
It took them a while to learn about the forces and territories of all parties. They sent a larger group of representatives early in the morning and swarmed to Bay City.
At the call of the Gulf Territory, when they jointly participated in the "Magic Age Weapon Research Conference", the expressions of the major Cole Elf councilors changed.
"The real era of magic has arrived."
“Everyone is welcome to embrace the present, and let us embrace a better future together.”
Matthew, wearing the robes of a Grand Arcanist, said these words to hundreds of professionals and representatives with a smile.
But it fell into the eyes of the Cole Elf Councilor.
It represents the era when they were indisputable in the Northern Continent!
Passed quietly! (End of chapter)
