The Gulf Leader army, which had captured the outer fortress, did not stop its advance, but continued to advance.
They still move quickly, and can even rush to the next battlefield before the mind flayer can react.
Wait until the Mind Flayer troops, fortresses, and strongholds are attacked.
Faced with repeated bombings by violent winds and rain, as well as the indestructible torrent of steel, it was almost impossible to mount an effective resistance.
The slave warriors fell quickly, and the mind flayer could not hold on for long and could only flee desperately.
But they often can't escape very far before they are killed by the assault team that surrounds them.
Some legendary mind flayers also released terrifying legendary mind magic against the team of dragon warriors who rushed over to fight in an attempt to deal with them.
The well-prepared dragon warriors all activated psychic magic protective barriers on their bodies, used various protective scrolls, and also conducted psychic protection skills training in advance.
Even if he is directly hit by the legendary psychic spell, he will not be seriously injured.
With their strong recovery ability, they can recover in a few minutes and then continue fighting.
The entire battle process was very fast, and as the combatants became more proficient, it went faster and faster.
The Gulf Territory advanced rapidly and captured mind flayer cities and fortresses one after another.
In just half a day, 30 cities and fortresses were captured, almost cutting off half of the mind flayer army's retreat.
It seems that the first phase of the combat objectives has been achieved, and the combat plan is being implemented very smoothly.
Angela quickly made subsequent deployments and adjustments:
"Thera led the team to advance to the rear, Jifan led the team to block the retreat of the Mind Flayer army, and Alice led the team to continue the attack and connect the defense line with the Gray Elf Fortress."
"In addition, notify the gray dwarf forces and ask them to prepare to intercept the mind flayer's support troops."
"There is no need to carry it hard, just destroy the way they advance..."
After a simple arrangement, Angela continued to pay attention to the advancement of the troops.
After understanding the slave army controlled by the Mind Flayer and understanding its social structure and system.
Angela already knew clearly that the opponent's current military strength was no match for the Gulf Army.
This is not a quantitative gap, but a huge difference in systems, technology, cooperation, and technological development.
The existence of mind flayers is quite primitive.
With their current size, they are completely unable to promote the continued development of civilization and institutions.
The speed of civilization development in the Gulf Territory far exceeds that of the other party.
Just as Angela expected, even as time goes by.
The Mind Flayer Empire has been aware of the Gulf Territory's attack and has decisively dispatched multiple troops in an attempt to retake the fortresses and cities controlled by the Gulf Territory.
However, the various troops they dispatch will be attacked by various long-range bombings before they reach the combat area.
Often we have already suffered heavy losses before we have gone very far.
The Mind Flayer, who was very afraid of death, acted very cautiously in the face of the ambush and raid in the Gulf Territory and the bombardment of various rockets.
They often use various means to detect, and will not continue to move forward until they have detected other people's information and data and confirmed that they can defeat them.
If no information is found, the process will be repeated.
But they will not repeat it forever. If there is no information for three or four times, they will choose to retreat without hesitation.
In the view of the mind flayers, if the other party can block the information, there may be a terrifying trap ahead that can kill them.
Mind Flayers who want to live longer are unusually cautious and patient when it comes to preserving their own lives.
Faced with the retreat of these guys, the Gulf Territory combat troops naturally wanted to pursue the victory.
They will firmly contain the opponent and cause more damage when the opponent retreats.
Even if the opponent is brave enough to cut off his arms and prepare to preserve more combat forces, he will continue to be entangled by the Gulf Territory combat troops.
Even if they cannot be completely eliminated, their intentions and thoughts of going to other areas must be destroyed.
Those who accept such combat missions are often adventurers who fight with the Gulf Territory army.
They are very skilled in this area and have very rich combat experience. They can protect themselves well and complete the mission smoothly.
Under their endless harassment, the Mind Flayer Empire had to send more and more reinforcements to support the fortress captured by the Gulf Territory.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the adventurers of the Gulf Territory.
They are not ordinary small-scale harassment adventurers.
They possess combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment that are no less than those of the regular army of the Gulf Territory.
Moreover, their fighting style is more flexible and changeable.
Dig all kinds of traps.
There are mines buried in the ground.
Weight-triggered underground bomb.
Quantity counting sensor bomb.
Launch and detonate bombs from a distance.
The sensor-type directional explosive bomb can be quickly activated to collapse the passage when the mind flayer army passes through it.
When there were relatively few adventurers at the beginning, they used more various methods.
Wait for a steady stream of adventurers to be sent to these areas.
They use various means, but there are relatively few.
Because they tried to kill more slave warriors through direct combat.
Faced with the provocation from adventurers, the increasing number of mind flayers had no intention of backing down, and they couldn't wait to attack.
The two sides launched relatively fierce battles in various areas.
Thanks to the crushing force of various weapons and equipment, even though the number of adventurers in the Gulf Territory was small, they still gained a huge advantage.
They rarely suffer damage unless they are greedy and fail to break out in time after being surrounded by the enemy.
Or if you are very unlucky and push forward rashly, you run into a legendary mind flayer who takes action personally.
The advancement and support of the mind flayer army has been terminated!
The Mind Flayer Empire realized the power of the Gulf Territory and began to quickly gather troops.
At the same time, a warning was also issued to the mind flayer army that was currently fighting.
By the time the Mind Flayer army reacted, the three-pronged Gulf Territory combat force had already blocked their retreat.
It was only then that the advancing mind flayer army realized how powerful it was, and decisively chose to retreat.
The mind flayer army tried to take advantage of the Gulf Territory's unstable foothold to catch them off guard, recapture the captured city, and tear apart the blocked defense lines.
Unfortunately, they encountered dragon warriors.
The dragon warriors who have obtained new magical combat armor are preparing to find a suitable opponent to test their new weapons and equipment.
Facing the attack of the mind flayer army, they only fired a few rounds of rocket bombing and then launched a reverse charge.
The dragon warriors, covered with thunder, have reached 2.7 meters in height, and are even more burly than the ogres.
Moreover, the dragon warriors are extremely fast. They have activated their perfect bodies and can carry stronger bursts of power.
The left hand holds the Sword of Destruction, which can cut through light armor, and the right hand holds the chain-toothed giant sword, which can easily tear apart heavily armored enemies.
The two swords can easily cut almost all slave warriors in half just by waving them non-stop.
The slave warriors were completely unable to stop their advance.
They were even left behind because they were too slow to keep up with their killing pace.
They walked in vain on the bloody path they left behind, and they were "lucky" to launch a pursuit.
The reason why these slave warriors are lucky!
Mainly because after the dragon warriors kill the mind flayers, they can basically get rid of their control.
Although many of them have been mentally damaged, most of them can barely recover a certain degree of thinking ability.
If they are lucky enough, after joining the Gulf Territory, they can barely regain their sanity in the subsequent improvement of their strength.
However, the mind flayer in the team is going to be in bad luck.
They are the target of the dragon warriors' hunt, and the Gulf Territory doesn't need ordinary mind flayer prisoners this time.
Even if it is a legendary mind flayer with great experimental value, the Gulf Territory's combat principle is to consider the issue of prisoners only when absolute safety is ensured.
Therefore, the first few Mind Flayer troops that launched counter-encirclement operations were directly defeated by the Dragon Warrior Legion.
Even though the number of dragon warriors in each city is only 200.
But the terrifying lethality brought by these 200 people can easily destroy most of the mind flayer army.
These dragon warriors even complained a little, feeling that the reaction speed of the mind flayer army was too slow and they needed to be faster.
The increasing number of mind flayers began to turn around and attack the Gulf Territory.
Unfortunately, even though there are many of them, only a few can attack at the same time.
However, the strength of these Mind Flayer troops is not up to par, and they cannot rely on hard power to break through the Gulf Territory and strengthen the defense of the renovated fortress.
Therefore, an army of millions of mind flayers was blocked by the Gulf Territory.
Even a part of the mind flayer army tried to bypass the radiation range of the city and rushed into the nearby passage against all kinds of attacks.
They will also hit the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and more layers of defense.
In the rapid consumption of layers, these slave warriors of the Mind Flayer army died quickly, and soon there were only a few hundred or thousands left.
In this case, the Mind Flayer, who had nowhere to escape, quickly became the prey of the Gulf Territory's assault force.
Without the protection of a large army, the mind flayers are like meat on the chopping board and can be slaughtered very easily.
Seeing that the first few batches of mind flayer armies rushed to the defense line without any return, the remaining mind flayer armies did not continue to fight.
In order to prevent themselves from being surrounded, they quickly retreated and returned to the familiar battlefield area.
There, they have at least 20 more cities to rely on.
They hope to rely on the defense of the city's fortress to persist until reinforcements arrive.
But the besieged army of mind flayers never expected this.
The Gulf Leader's army, which had mobilized heavy troops, completely blocked their retreat.
The reinforcements they had placed high hopes on were also beaten badly by various long-range artillery and Gulf Territory adventurers.
The powerful advantage of attack distance is vividly displayed in this narrow and dark space.
Even if the mind flayer army paid a huge price, they could not take a step forward under the intensive firepower offensive.
The huge battle consumption made the adventurers both happy and distressed.
They know very well that it is almost impossible to recover the cost of using rockets to kill the enemy, but they will have to pay a large sum of money.
But the astonishing damage caused by this can bring them considerable achievements. The longer they stay in the Gulf Territory, the more adventurers become aware of it.
Gold coins are just a tool for the Gulf Territory to maintain operations, and merit can help them get whatever they want.
If it's just an ordinary battle or mission adventure, the accumulation of achievements will often give them a headache.
Only by assisting in this kind of indicative mission can we obtain a large number of achievements by killing a large number of enemies.
Basically, it is equivalent to using gold coins and resources in exchange for more achievements and combat experience.
They knew full well that this was going to be a good deal!
With the efforts of various combat forces in the Gulf Territory, both the surrounded Mind Flayer army and the Mind Flayer troops that came to support were dealt a violent blow.
Not only did the slave warriors suffer huge losses, but the number of mind flayers also continued to decrease.
The Gulf Territory's action immediately changed the situation in the underground world.
Their sudden appearance naturally aroused the interest and attention of the surrounding forces.
Many forces are obviously wary of the sudden appearance of the Gulf Territory.
The reason is very simple. The powerful and large Mind Flayer army is so fragile in front of the Gulf Territory combat troops. How can this not make them feel vigilant?
Today is different from the past.
The Gulf Territory, whose strength has been greatly improved, no longer bothers to pay attention to the suspicion and vigilant eyes of all forces.
They focused on their goals, tightening the encirclement of the mind flayer army bit by bit.
The gray elf Azshara tribe, which has always been very quiet and has not shown too much desire to expand, also took action under the gaze of many drow elves.
They were surprised and relieved to find that the combat methods of the Gray Elf combat troops were exactly the same as those of the Gulf Territory.
They had already guessed the relationship between the gray elves and the Gulf Territory, but there was no clear evidence.
Now that the truth was revealed, it gave them a faint sense of fear.
From the battle between the Gulf Territory combat troops and the mind flayer army, most of the drow nobles and grandmothers could tell that the Gulf Territory had gained an absolute upper hand.
They were suppressed and beaten by the mind flayer army, and they would definitely suffer even worse when facing the Gulf Leader army.
Unspeakable panic spread among the drow cities.
They were afraid of the Gulf Territory, and they were also afraid of the gray elves, but they wanted to get more information, so they often watched from a distance on the periphery of the battlefield.
They saw an overwhelming barrage of rockets.
They saw the advance of the steel vehicle.
They saw artillery bombardments coming and going.
They saw Gulf Territory warriors wearing metal combat armor.
They saw bolters and light and heavy machine guns that had extremely long ranges, great destructive power, and particularly astonishing attack speeds.
They also saw the magic army formation that was able to withstand the legendary spell without being destroyed.
Completely different fighting methods, shocking and difficult to understand the fighting process.
The drow elves were horrified to see the Gulf Territory's annihilation battle against the mind flayer army.
The mind flayer army, which was numerous and protected by city walls, did not hold out in the fierce battle.
The city walls were destroyed.
The slave army was blown into chaos.
The defensive front was torn apart.
All kinds of struggles are in vain.
The Gulf Territory army occupied every city.
They will be repaired and strengthened immediately, and equipped with a variety of long-range artillery and weaponry.
The powerful defensive ability made the drow watching the battle lose all desire to attack after just one glance.
Then, they lost the opportunity to continue observing the advance of the Gulf Leader army.
Because the encirclement of the Gulf Army is getting tighter and tighter.
Sensing something bad, the mind flayer army tried to avoid the main force of the Gulf Territory army and rushed out of the battlefield with the drow.
They would rather fight the drow than have any contact with the Gulf Territory.
In this case, the drow elves didn't notice anything strange at all.
Because the Gulf Territory has completely surrounded the Mind Flayer army, blocking their movement routes in all directions.
What followed was a straightforward encirclement and annihilation operation.
The number of slave warriors in the mind flayer army has been reduced. Once they can no longer pose a threat to the dragon warriors, the mind flayers controlling the army will be quickly killed.
Every time a mind flayer is killed, the Gulf Territory can recruit a large number of slave warriors.
Most of them, although their brains have been damaged, are still alive at least.
The Gulf community will provide them with positions and jobs suitable for their survival, allowing them to spend the most comfortable time in their lives.
As for their contribution, they may have unknowingly provided more intelligent creatures to the Gulf Territory, which can be regarded as contributing their own strength to the development of the territory.
The advance speed of the Gulf Leader army is not particularly fast, but it is very efficient.
Once you occupy a space, you can firmly grasp it.
Destroying an army of mind flayers will completely clear them from the battlefield.
The numbers of the mind flayer armies are rapidly decreasing, and so are the number of mind flayers.
The very large mind flayer army was dismembered bit by bit by the Gulf Leader without showing any resistance.
The Gulf Territory was like cleaning up the kobolds, cleaning up this army of mind flayers that had caused chaos in the underground world for a long time.
When the battle was completely over, the Gulf Territory army began to move to surrounding cities.
It has only been five days.
The drow elves who have been squatting on the outside of the battlefield have no news about the battle at all.
It was Sera who specifically informed them and explained to them that the battle was over that they finally realized what was going on.
"Is it really over?"
"Isn't it possible? Even if there are millions of pigs, it's impossible to clean them up so quickly, right?"
"Perhaps in the eyes of the Gulf Territory, millions of pigs are more difficult to clean up than an army of mind flayers."
"That's right. For the Gulf Territory, millions of pigs are a very useful asset and need to be dealt with properly."
"The combat effectiveness of the Gulf Army is really terrifying."
"So many magical combat armors, and their quality is very high, how are they produced?"
"Can't every Gulf leader be a forging master?"
"Even the former dwarf empire would have taken hundreds of years, and would have to be produced at all costs."
"Don't you pay attention to the news on the surface? The name of the lord of the Gulf Territory and the True Dragon Yaya has been well known in recent years."
"Yes, even the Elf Kingdom of Cole has suffered a lot at the hands of the Gulf Territory."
"If nothing else happens, both dwarves and gray dwarves are now attached to the Gulf Territory..."
"And these gray elves, they are like this too..."
"Speaking of these gray elves, how do they have such strong strength?"
"I heard it's a kind of reconstructive surgery..."
"..."
The drow elves kept discussing, but still did not discuss how to deal with the Gulf Territory and the gray elves in the future.
They are a little confused now and a little bit at a loss.
However, Sera soon gave them some surprises.
She showed the magical image of clearing the bay and wiping out the mind flayer army without reservation.
Especially when the drow see it.
Several legendary mind flayers united for the rare occasion and prepared to escape.
However, they were immediately stopped by Matthew who fell from the sky, walked over lightly, and chopped off their heads with a sword.
The whole process was very peaceful, and the legendary mind flayer didn't even put up a decent resistance.
Their ferocious and twisted heads just fell off casually.
Matthew waved his hand again and took away all their bodies, leaving only twisted bloodstains.
Facing Matthew's calm yet terrifying eyes, the drow elves watching the magical image subconsciously turned their heads away, not daring to look at him.
After completing the annihilation battle, the Gulf Territory quickly cleaned up the battlefield and further strengthened and upgraded the occupied cities and fortresses.
With the advent of powerful adventurers, they can temporarily retreat and conduct more detailed exploration and cleanup of the area occupied by the Gulf Leadership Army.
Such tasks often come with generous benefits and rewards.
Once the lucky adventurers find some large resource points or rare metal veins.
They can achieve financial freedom immediately and focus on improving their strength step by step.
Bayland has never been stingy in this regard and sincerely hopes that everyone will earn more and more.
The more everyone earns, the more the Gulf Territory will get and the better future it will have.
call! call! call!
The rushing wind came from the gloomy cave.
The surging psychic power fluctuations almost solidified in the continuous collisions.
The fierce sword from the Gulf Territory made even the Mind Flayer Empire feel extremely painful.
They never expected that the Gulf Territory, which had no contact with them at all, would actually kill them.
Why is this?
The mind flayers don't understand!
But the Cole Elf Shadow Council troops, who were heading deep into the Mind Flayer Empire, learned of this situation by chance.
They understand very well, but they feel increasingly troubled and helpless by the Gulf Territory's ability to attack everywhere and yet be victorious.
Carrie, who was leading the team, after having an in-depth understanding of the great achievements of the Gulf Territory, a rather strange thought suddenly came to her mind:
"Perhaps, if the Netheril Empire is destroyed, the Gulf Territory will not be affected at all..."
"Maybe the Gulf Territory will become stronger after acquiring the inheritance of the Netheril Empire..."
Carrie had a vague premonition of this, but found the idea very absurd.
She looked at the huge ruins getting closer and closer, and the expression on her face became more and more solemn.
The Civilized Cemetery has arrived! (End of chapter)
