After discussing the matter with Robert, Suhlen signed three blank trade permits, and Robert left in a hurry.
Since the Dimensional Folding Circle of the Mysterious Realm had been repaired, the Northguard Castle soldiers outside the Mysterious Realm had all retreated. The Northguard City's army was mobilized again. In the wilderness where the Northguard City was located, there were no more powerful factions that could fight a large-scale war against them. Most of the time, there were only small skirmishes.
The monsters in the wilderness were like weeds. If you were not careful, they could grow very quickly. Summer was the time when food was the most abundant in the northern wilderness. The number of kobolds, goblins, and gnolls had started to increase. To deal with the situation, Suhlen changed the way the army fought.
Lancers, archers, centaur riders, and the newly recruited harpies were reorganized into small armies. They were then led by their own generals to clean up the areas around the Northguard City. The Northguard City had started to clear out the monsters and bandits in their territory again.
Of course, it was not realistic to completely wipe out the kobolds, goblins, and gnolls. After all, these races were very good at reproducing. They could only reproduce in groups. Suhlen's plan was to keep their numbers to a low level.
After a few years, the number of goblins, kobolds, and gnolls would gradually decrease. Just like in the southern provinces, there were basically no gnolls left in the wilderness. Even the number of kobolds and goblins was very low. It was the result of decades of hard work.
If the other nobles could do it, so could Su Lun. Moreover, he had a strategic map. As long as the Goblins, Kobolds, and Bandits were discovered, they would be marked on the map. Since the battlefield was one-sided and transparent, it was not difficult to eliminate these bandits.
With the help of the Harpies, the vision of the Northern Fortress City's army had increased by a few times. Their current strategy had changed from a rain of arrows and spearmen to an aerial assault by the Harpies, archers, and Centaurs. Most of the time, there were not many enemies left by the time the spearmen reached the frontline.
The uninjured monsters were enslaved, and the injured ones were killed for experience. While the Northern Battlefront City army was cleaning up, Suhlen also came to the training ground of the Formation Breaker outside the city.
After this period of training, this group of Imperial Spear Guards had all completed their training. Today was the day they would advance to the Formation Breaker. The success rate of the Formation Breaker's advancement was only one-fifth. Suhlen gave each of the Spear Guards a light ball and let them advance.
Time went by. This time, there were as many as 16 Spear Guards who participated in the advancement. Su Lun waited quietly outside. After about 15 minutes, light balls began to return to the Tiger-Shaped Tally of the Formation Breaker, which meant that someone had failed to advance.
Suhlen was mentally prepared for this result. Soon, two more light balls returned to Suhlen within a few minutes. As time passed, more and more light balls returned to Suhlen's hand.
Very quickly, the time had already reached the last ten minutes. The advancement of the [Capture Barracks], as long as they could endure through this last period of time, it represented that they had successfully advanced. It was just that there were only five people remaining. Just then, Su Lun felt that another light ball had returned to the Tiger Tally, and there were only four people who were still advancing.
Time passed by. Suhlen became more and more nervous. Soon, there were only five minutes left. A light flashed and disappeared. Another light ball returned. In the end, there were only three people left.
In the last five minutes, Suhlen felt like a year. Finally, the system's notification sounded in his ears.
"Congratulations, host. Three of your Spear Guards have successfully advanced to the Formation Breaker."
"The current number of Formation Breaker is five."
Seeing the three soldiers who had successfully advanced, Suhlen's mood finally became better.
.....
Just as the Northern Battlefront City was developing rapidly, further north in the Northern Wilderness, the power of the Elemental Tide was constantly spreading. A large number of wild beasts had evolved into Demon Beasts. The races that lived here also felt threatened.
"Chief Rogthus, the team that went to the Great Glacier to explore has returned. They brought back the latest news." In a huge tent, several orcs were discussing something. Outside the tent, tens of thousands of orcs were living in the wilderness.
Since the last era, the orcs had been expelled by the humans, elves, and dwarves. They could only live in the barren Northern Wilderness. However, the orcs still did not give up on the fertile land in the South. Every two or three years, the orcs would carry out a large-scale invasion to the South.
Every time this happened, the countries that bordered the Northern Wilderness would be the target of the orcs' attack. There was no strict border between the Northern Wilderness and the orcs. However, most of them relied on the terrain of the mountains to defend. Usually, the orcs would directly invade the Southern Wilderness.
The Northern Battlefront City was not located on the main route of the orcs' army. When the Northern Battlefront City was first built, Suhlen did not choose the North. Instead, he chose the Northeast. He did not want to be the frontline against the orcs.
"Haror, how is the Great Glacier now?" The tall orc chief asked.
"Chief, the situation is not good. We found traces of a white dragon." The orc named Haror said.
After hearing Haror's words, the orc chief went silent for a moment and said, "Great Shaman, it seems your prophecy was right."
"The situation we are facing now is very clear. In the coming days, more and more orcs will appear here. Our living environment will become more and more difficult. If we want the tribe to continue, there is only one way, and that is to go south!"
"Citizens of Gewushen, now is the time of life and death. I, the chief of the Blackfire Tribe, Rogthus, am officially telling you that we must obtain more fertile land to survive!"
"The weak elves have fallen asleep, and the dwarves' kingdom has been divided. We only have to face the humans. As long as we defeat the humans, we can obtain the warm and fertile land under the sun!"
"We have been silent for too long. It is time to let those despicable monkeys pay the price!"
"Fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight! "
The other orcs roared.
More and more orcs began to roar. Soon, the entire camp had tens of thousands of orcs roaring. Their voices resounded through the sky.
At the same time, the other orc tribes in the northern wilderness began to move at the same time. In the northern wilderness, the number of orcs living was no less than a million. According to the characteristics of all orcs being soldiers, they could easily form an army of five to six hundred thousand.
However, the Beastmen usually didn't do this. The most fundamental reason was logistics. The Beastmen didn't have enough food. If hundreds of thousands of Beastmen gathered together, it wouldn't take long for them to starve to death. Therefore, the Beastmen would usually unite with several tribes and form an army of around 50,000 people. They would then attack from multiple areas.
The orcs began to move. A new round of war was about to begin.
.....
After dealing with the matters in the northern city, Suhlen issued an order to purchase all kinds of magic plant seeds. At the same time, he began the next step of the restoration of the secret realm.
There were many magic plants growing in the secret realm. In addition to the purple tulips, there were also mutated man-eating flowers, blood-sucking vines, and some amethyst bees.
The ecological area in the secret realm had also begun to be restored. There were many wild herbs in the ecological area. Some of the herbs marked in "Introduction to Potionology" could be found here. Most of the magic plants were easy to deal with. The only troublesome one was the blood-sucking vines. These dark red thorny vines were a type of "Living Vine". They would automatically attack nearby creatures. At the same time, they were poisonous. After killing their prey, they would drag it over and slowly digest it.
The ecological area was very large. Although the original destruction was serious, it was slowly recovering.
Earth, Water, Wind, Fire.
The arcanists believed that these four elements were the basic composition of the world. They were also the prerequisite for the evolution of all matter.
As the wizards who inherited the knowledge of the Arcane Empire, they also inherited this view. It was said that some legendary wizards would leave the main material plane and enter the astral world to roam other worlds. These wizards were called astral wizards.
According to the information left behind by these astral wizards, they found that there were all kinds of planets. Some were solid, some were liquid, and some were gaseous. However, planets that could produce intelligent life had a kind of life force. Almost all of them had the characteristics of a fusion of these three types of planets.
The great arcanists believed that at the beginning of the multiverse, after the explosion of the Source Energy, the elemental planes of earth, water, wind, and fire were created. During the evolution, different types of planets were created due to the proportion of the elements.
Those planets that could support life were mostly the result of the harmony of the four elements. Only this kind of harmonious plane could give birth to all kinds of creatures and finally become a prosperous plane.
At the same time, the arcanists' theory of constructing super-large demiplanes originated from this. The grand arcanists believed that only a complete elemental balance could create a new world, a super-large demiplane that could allow life to flourish.
Creating a world was not difficult. Basically, if a legendary wizard was willing to spend his life, he could create a relatively small half-plane world. However, no wizard would do so.
The environment in the secret realm also had to comply with this requirement. If there was a problem with the ecological structure of the secret realm, it would collapse and be rebuilt. However, if there was a problem with the basic elemental structure, it would lead to the collapse of the secret realm. Therefore, Suhlen had been strict when it came to restoring the secret realm.
