Chapter 883 The Destruction of Sewenton

The progress of the Gulf Lords in the Catachan demiplane has been kept strictly confidential.

The Gulf Lords will disclose many actions and missions, but will not disclose everything.

They will only disclose those news that are beneficial to them and can guide "attention".

However, as various studies and experiments are progressing steadily, Matthew, who has been busy for a long time, finally has time to focus on more concerned areas.

The very lively Netheril Empire!

The current Netheril Empire is not so much a complete whole as a temporary union of several large territories that have been split apart.

Many mage lords have a high degree of autonomy, and because of various problems in the Seyvendon Council and the loss of legion strength, the execution of the conscription mission has suffered devastating damage.

In this case, if the Netheril Empire cannot quickly reverse the situation and restore the strong performance of the Seyvendon Council, then it is inevitable that it will gradually split apart.

After all, when the mage lords only want to gain benefits and are unwilling to continue to maintain order and integrity, even other great arcanists cannot stop their decision.

However, in the eyes of most lords and forces, this should be a relatively long process, which will take at least decades or even hundreds of years.

After all, the life span of professionals is generally longer. Even if these mage lords have their own ideas at this stage, they are still prepared to continue to use the big framework of the Netheril Empire.

Not every territory can easily solve crises and enemies like the Gulf Territory.

They must temporarily concentrate their strength and occasionally choose to unite.

Before tasting the sweetness of "independence", they have suffered the pain of having to handle and be responsible for everything by themselves.

Some rulers choose to overcome difficulties, although this is more troublesome and requires a lot of energy and resources.

But by doing so, they gain stronger control over the territory.

But there are still some rulers who still only care about their own affairs and have no ability or desire to manage any dangers in the territory.

If it were in the past, this way of managing the territory, regardless of whether it was evil or not, would have allowed most of the territories to maintain relative peace and allow many of the people to survive.

But the situation is different now.

Let alone the various types of orcs that are spreading and penetrating deeply.

The Flint or magical creatures that may be roaming around.

The Mind Flayer Empire's raiders that are constantly expanding and plundering.

Just dealing with the distorted monsters born from the influence and corruption of the Scarlet Moon is enough to cause most of the territory's combat forces to collapse.

Then, they soon suffered a backlash, the distortion began to spread, and the corruption began to spread.

This process is slow and terrible, and the people in the territory can sense the abnormality and danger.

But they can't leave, nor can they hide.

They can only watch these distortions and pollution become more and more serious, infiltrating into their lives, and even coming to their side.

When these distortions and pollution reach a critical point, terrible destruction will befall this territory.

By that time, the entire territory had been destroyed, and the rulers belatedly realized the catastrophic consequences they deserved.

Territories and cities with stronger strength are much more resistant to these distortions and pollution.

But they usually don't, and can't, cure them completely, and can only experience a painful and slow process of delaying their demise.

On the contrary, those small territories and cities that are more closely connected with the Gulf Territory have no such worries.

For the distorted monsters and polluted individuals, all combat forces in the Gulf Territory have a very clear understanding and very decisive and strong ability to act.

Even if they are just some adventurers, or assistants who have not yet joined the Gulf Territory but have cooperated with the Gulf Territory many times.

If they can't solve it, they can also apply for combat assistance from the Gulf Territory.

The Gulf Territory will send combat forces that can completely solve the danger according to the situation, and will not charge any combat rewards.

The purpose of doing this is, first, to continue to promote the Gulf Territory and greatly enhance the reputation of the Gulf Territory.

Second, to protect more people and let them survive.

As for whether they will join the Gulf Territory in the future, the Gulf Territory will give some guidance, but will not pay too much attention or concern.

There is no way. The Gulf Territory currently has too many territories to manage, and the number of people absorbed and accepted is also increasing.

They can't save all the people, and can only rely on their luck or their initiative to make choices.

Some territorial rulers also tried to unite and prepare to fight against the surrounding threats together.

But even within the framework of the Netheril Empire, they can only give general performance.

Now under the pressure and danger, they can barely cooperate with each other, and will inevitably encounter some setbacks and compromises, but they can only bite the bullet and get together.

At this time, those sober guys will barely feel regret.

If the Netheril Empire had not led to the current independent war for various reasons.

As mage lords, they only need to study what they are interested in, and they can get the protection and blessing of the collective power of the entire empire, and can easily solve most of the enemies.

So what about now?

"Freedom" is indeed in hand, and disasters and dangers must be solved by themselves.

The price is relatively heavy, and there is not much hope for the future and direction.

Therefore, many mage lords who have thought clearly chose to place their hopes on the Gulf Territory and other forces.

The majority of mage lords chose the Gulf Territory.

There is no way. Judging from the strength and resource supply shown by the Gulf Territory, it can definitely meet their resource needs for development and research.

As for entering the Gulf Territory, they can no longer easily order others around like in the current territory, and become the lord who is high above and in charge of everyone's life and death.

These mage lords don't care too much!

They are different from the ordinary ruling class!

They are mages, spellcasters, and arcane masters first!

Then they are lords!

The identity of the latter is mainly to serve the former!

As long as they arrive in the Gulf Territory, after simple adaptation and adjustment, they can obtain much more materials and knowledge than being a lord.

This is enough for them!

No matter how big the lord is, it can't make them live longer or let them master more knowledge.

Therefore, a large number of mage lords and spellcasters went to the Gulf Territory in large numbers after the situation in the Netheril Empire became worse and worse.

If it was the first two years after the establishment of the Gulf Territory, it would definitely not think about how to accept so many powerful spellcasters with many desires, but would be cautious and vigilant.

But now the Gulf Territory has a big appetite, and the hundreds of spellcasters and more than a dozen mage lords who have been absorbed and accepted cannot satisfy their appetite at all!

"What do you want? Meditation potions to improve mental strength?"

"No problem, as long as you don't exchange it and then resell it at a price of more than 20%, as long as you have enough funds and merits, you can buy as many as you want."

"High-level spell scrolls? The Gulf Territory no longer uses spell scrolls. There are many spells to learn in the spellcaster learning club."

"As long as you have enough spells and your merit level meets the requirements, you can buy it by recording it."

"Various magic equipment? This is the product that our Gulf Territory is best at producing. It is good quality and low price, and it is guaranteed for large quantities. You can complete a set in one or two years of work!"

"What? Transformation surgery? Longer life?"

"We in the Gulf Territory have also conducted in-depth research in this area. Improving strength is always the best and most effective choice. Surgery transformation can also be arranged according to the merit level..."

The Gulf Territory's frank statement calmed down the spellcasters who were originally somewhat resistant to "re-education".

The Gulf Territory gave them more than they imagined.

In this case, the most important thing at the moment is to obey the arrangements of the Gulf Territory, study hard and try to adapt to the rules of the Gulf Territory.

They are also very clear that the Gulf Territory attaches great importance to rules and laws.

Whoever breaks these rules or has malicious thoughts will often suffer a great loss without knowing it.

The Gulf Territory has helped them solve their worries and then specially guided them to adapt, which is already very considerate.

They don't have to do too much to get a lot of gains and a foreseeable bright future.

If they are not willing to give up even this little price and rights, then they are destined not to "work" well.

For such people, the Gulf Territory will not be too indulgent.

Be on guard when you should be on guard, prepare when you should be prepared, and deal with when you should deal with.

Not to mention some guys with very high "sin values".

Even if they have very outstanding strength and ability, the Gulf Territory will decisively clean them up.

Not everyone has the opportunity to continue to live and reform.

Having committed too many sins, they no longer regard other intelligent creatures as "living things".

They have become them!

Matthew, who vaguely guessed where Iollum had gone, had already determined the demise of the Netheril Empire.

What he has to do now is to make the Gulf Territory accelerate its demise and absorb more talents and population.

At the same time, he must also prepare to take over some special foundations of the Netheril Empire.

There are more than 30 demiplanes with various rich outputs.

The existence of demiplanes is undoubtedly too important for a force.

There are too many things that can be provided outside, more territory, more population, more resources, hidden and safe backup and development bases.

These things can be completely controlled by the demiplane controller.

More importantly, if the demiplane can be completely controlled, then the "manufacturing" of divine power can basically have a stable "output".

Although this statement is somewhat inappropriate, it is precisely this inappropriateness that represents the Gulf Territory's attitude towards divine power, divinity, and godhood.

They are indeed very powerful and precious, and even have almost omnipotent special effects.

However, they are just tools of the Gulf Territory.

Their classification, like the wooden firewood, underground coal, refined fuel oil, and elemental fuel specified by the Gulf Territory, is part of the energy resources.

Even if the use effect of this part of the resources is very good, it can even directly act on the human body and any substance.

However, the attitude towards them represents the Gulf Territory's treatment of these things.

As the territory develops faster and faster, the research on divine power, divinity, and divine power is getting deeper and deeper.

Sooner or later, they will thoroughly study its essence and then use it more efficiently.

Even now, the Gulf Territory can produce it relatively easily.

According to the principle of sharing the needs and development results by everyone, it is distributed to those who have higher merits, sufficient ability, and have passed the assessment and inspection.

The former is the prerequisite for use, and the latter is the basis for safe use.

Precisely because these things are very good, but if they are not properly controlled and used, they will be very dangerous.

Therefore, the Gulf Territory will formulate relatively strict systems and procedures, and make corresponding arrangements and treatments.

Even the Gulf Territory has specially customized and modified the personal control terminals of these special power users.

The basic information of their divine power and divinity will be displayed through the modified personal terminals.

Except for a few people, no one can query their information and data, not even Fairy Tale.

Different development routes and combined confidentiality methods can have more than two different system methods to protect the ability of Fairy Tale.

The purpose of doing so is naturally to protect the safety of Fairy Tale and the territory.

With Fairy Tale's current combat ability and status, it is still difficult to fight against demigods or even higher-level opponents.

The opponent has already targeted Fairy Tale several times because she can influence and control most of the production and combat in the Gulf Territory.

Her situation is already very dangerous!

And if she is allowed to influence and master the information about the power controller, then the opponent will even do it at all costs.

Matthew does not want to see this happen, and naturally will not let Fairy Tale bear too much pressure now.

Anyway, there are fewer power and divinity controllers in the Gulf Territory at present, and Matthew and Yaya can basically remember all their information.

This simplest and most effective way can survive a relatively dangerous period and solve many troubles at the same time.

The actions of the Gulf Territory in the Netheril Empire naturally attracted the attention of other forces and kingdoms.

But most of them have no opinions, and dare not have any opinions.

More rulers believe that if the Gulf Territory replaces the Netheril Empire, it may make the northern continent better.

Of course, the Kor Elf Kingdom, which was very secretive about the true strength of the Bay Territory, originally wanted to sabotage this aspect.

As a result, the sudden plague and disaster caused chaos in the north of the Kor Elf Kingdom.

Unlike the relatively sparsely populated south, which was a newly developed territory in the past hundred years that had not yet been fully digested and controlled, the many provinces in the north were the lifeblood of the Kor Elf Kingdom!

There was a passive situation there! (End of this chapter)
