Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The fierce crossbow arrows flew in, killing the wolf men who were losing their minds.

The strong and fierce jackal has considerable strength and is not afraid of death, but he is not even close to adventurers.

Hundreds of jackals fell to the ground one after another under the continuous firing of crossbow arrows.

The shooting skills of these adventurers are particularly outstanding, which is related to the enchanted crossbows that the Bay Territory continues to improve.

While the price remains roughly unchanged, the enchanted crossbow produced by Bayland has completed four improvements.

The accuracy, lethality, and range have all been greatly improved.

Because of its excellent performance and low price, it is increasingly favored by adventurers.

At a cost price of 200 gold coins, even a beginner adventurer can basically buy it after working hard for about 3 months.

By that time, the combat skills that the adventurers are good at have also been honed.

Even if there is an enchanted crossbow, it is only a supplement to the lethality, and will not be regarded as a reliance.

The Gulf Territory only hopes to provide convenience to adventurers, but does not want these guys to sacrifice their own merits.

Therefore, almost every adventurer who comes to the Gulf Territory wants to get an enchanted crossbow.

Adventurers who are qualified to accept support missions are basically elite adventurers of intermediate level or above.

Crossbow shooting is just a way for them to kill the enemy.

However, it is just right to deal with these beast-like jackals.

Seeing that only the last few dozen jackals were left dead, adventurers who wanted to hone their melee skills rushed forward in a swarm.

Chris put down the crossbow, inspected it carefully, and maintained it carefully. He watched his teammates eliminate the remaining gnolls like chopping melons and vegetables, and asked Morak, who was yawning next to him:

"Why do we only clean up these scattered gnolls? There are many gnolls outside villages, towns and castles."

Rubbing his eyes, Morak put down the Gulf Territory Cooking Guide in his hand, and unlike the stupidity of ordinary ogres, he muttered rather cunningly:

"Hey, this is like the drow elves calling us ogres."

"We negotiated the terms at the beginning, but when we finally got rid of the enemy, they regretted it and locked us up."

"But by that time, I was seriously injured, so hungry that I didn't even have the strength to resist."

Chris was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of the crucial link, and suddenly asked Ashes, who was settling accounts aside:

"Have the merit and kill records applied for in the past few days been confirmed?"

Nodding without hesitation, Hui Jin quickly checked and replied:

"Everything has been confirmed, and the merits and gold coins have been distributed together with the supplies."

After hearing this, Chris suddenly realized and said:

"I understand, those lords haven't paid the bill yet, no wonder the territory is not in a hurry now..."

"However, has the eldest sister mentioned the follow-up task arrangements? Is it to continue cleaning up the dragon-blooded creatures in the periphery?"

Ashes sent the battle record and questions together, and quickly received a reply from Alice:

"That's right, first deal with the scattered jackals and kobolds outside, and save more refugees and villagers. This is a rare opportunity to gain merit."

Hearing this, Chris couldn't help but have some doubts in his mind.

Could it be that those lords have already given money?

Or is it that the Gulf Leader is not worried that the other party will owe money?

……

Magic props that enhance the communication distance are used to issue various "communication techniques" to ensure that the adventurers fight as planned.

While Alice summarized various data, she updated the data on the enlarged magic image, showing the real-time situation of each major territory one by one.

Dozens of newly graduated spellcasters are busy under the command of Lianna, using the spells they have learned to construct it.

Old John looked at these energetic young people with satisfaction, and gradually understood in his heart the purpose of the lord allowing them to participate in the development of the territory.

The Lord once said this at an important meeting.

The caster is indeed powerful and can transform the mighty power of heaven and earth into one body with his own strength.

They learn and research arcane knowledge and create magical spells one after another.

From this point of view, the spell caster is like one humanoid wishing machine after another, able to use spells to do most things.

They were supposed to be the vanguard of the development of the entire human race.

Just like promoting the rapid development of the Gulf Territory.

These young students, including spellcasters, have been educated since childhood to take developing their territory as their own responsibility.

Their contribution to the development of the territory determines the treatment they can receive.

The level of ability largely determines what position and platform they are in.

The greater your contribution, the higher your treatment will be.

On this point, all managers in the Gulf Territory strongly agree.

They understand the advantages of this system.

This is the Empire of Netheril, a country where spellcasters are always at the top.

They are either exploring the eternal mysteries of magic or seeking immortality.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with their approach.

It’s just that they grabbed more than 90% of the wealth and resources of the entire empire.

I only focus on my own research and experiments.

But I have never thought about giving back the fruits of development to the people who provided the resources.

So, when those evil gods and evil things that were already on the road of plundering and devouring and traveling further appeared on the scene.

These spellcasters who believed that fate and power combined were easily "controlled" by the other party.

There is only one card in my hand.

Even though this card is very powerful!

Once the opponent makes a targeted arrangement and targets this card, there will be no power to block it.

Just like the following major events that will cause turmoil within the Netheril Empire - "The Sorrow of the Netherese Scroll", "The Scourge of the Lich", and "The Mysterious Law".

All of them reveal powerful and terrifying secrets!

Now, these young spellcasters and professionals are guided from an early age to develop their territories, make more contributions, and have this tied to their development.

Under the guidance of this system, the ingenuity of the spell caster will become a source of motivation to promote the development of the entire territory.

As a result, the territory develops larger, and the more resources and wealth it acquires, the more benefits it provides to these spellcasters.

Old John had already vaguely guessed it from the Lord's policy.

The lord's cultivation of talents will be one of the biggest expenses for the territory in the future.

Because, the lord will meet the training needs of most professionals.

As much as they can digest, the territory will provide them.

This also means that the territory will fully develop the potential of every professional.

Naturally, spell casters are also included.

In this way, there will no longer be a situation where the caster family is the only one.

"The Lord's plan seems simple, but actually it has profound meaning..."

While Old John was thinking, Alice, who had just completed most of the guidance of the adventurer team, also had doubts similar to Chris's.

She looked at Old John next to her and asked him this question without hesitation.

"Has the territory negotiated with other lords? Have they given money?"

Old John, who was looking at the map, marked all the villages and towns in the major territories and answered in a calm tone:

"They really have no intention of actively giving money. We just need to record every transaction."

"Now they can still afford it, but they pretend they don't care and even laugh at us..."

"But when this debt gradually accumulates..."

When this debt is big enough!

It’s so big that these lords can’t even afford it...

Hiss...

Facing Old John's smiling face, Alice's eyes flashed with surprise.

Only then did she suddenly realize.
To be continued...
