In fact, the actions of the Kingdom of Caplan are a microcosm of the overall situation in the Federation of the Kingdom of Iter at this moment.
[Spark] Resistance organizations have invaded across the board, and the federal parliament is still arguing with each other. If the kings of large and medium-sized kingdoms don't know how to seize this once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity, there is no need to continue sitting in this seat.
At the same time, except for these large kingdoms that spontaneously use the banner of the [Spark] organization and openly invade neighboring countries.
After taking control of the garrison forces of many cities, the real Spark Resistance Army immediately coerced these garrison forces and declared war on the neighboring kingdom cities, provoking a larger-scale war.
Relying on the help of black technology such as constructing headbands, the resistance army seemed to have divine help in the initial stage, killing the resisting city guards and taking over a large number of cities and territories with overwhelming force.
However, as the war lasted longer, the resistance's advance had to slow down.
Although they lost a large area of territory in the early stage, the remaining nobles of the kingdom united one after another, concentrated in several core cities under the leadership of the royal family, and began to resist tenaciously.
Due to the arms race previously provoked by the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, the number of magical structures in stock in many small kingdoms was quite sufficient at this time. When the enemy did not have many high-level professionals participating in the war, they were even able to fight for a while.
return.
At the same time, as the war lasted for a long time, some weaknesses in the old magic armor were quickly discovered.
After collecting enough actual combat data, the major forces improved it again, and at the same time offered very high salaries to recruit individual constructors, making this profession very popular for a while.
Against this background, the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce has also launched the latest model armors such as the Black Knight Type 5 and the Red Flame Flying Dragon Type 4. These armors have been deeply optimized on the basis of the old models, and their protective capabilities and destructive power have been further enhanced.
Although its price has also increased by the same amount, compared with other magic armors of the same type on the market, it is still considered to be high quality and low price, with a very high cost performance.
Correspondingly, in the face of new constructions, the old magic constructions seem a little weak. If you don't want to be at a disadvantage on the battlefield, you must update your armaments.
This is another large amount of money, but it’s not enough if we don’t spend it.
While the kingdoms are fighting against each other, in the magical world, many scholars who study the dream world are also working hard in their own way.
Although it is during the war, newspapers such as the "Magic Times" of the Continental Magic Council, the "Federalist" published by the Federal Parliament, and the "Empire Morning News" affiliated with the Imperial Family have not ceased publication.
In this world, as long as war does not exceed a certain limit, only the lives of civilians will be truly affected.
On the pages of these newspapers, information about the [overlapping area] gradually appeared, as well as speeches calling for an end to the war.
Due to the death of a large number of people caused by the war, under the irrigation of a large amount of soul power, the overlapping areas across the federation began to expand rapidly.
Many great dream magisters who have noticed this have come forward to appeal to the nobles of various countries to stop the war immediately, otherwise the out-of-control overlapping area will eventually cover the entire continent of Yar, causing everyone to be destroyed together.
Of course, even though this is said, because the area of the overlapping area is now only insignificant compared to the area of the continent, most people don't actually take it to heart.
In other words, they understand the seriousness of the consequences deep down, but still choose to ignore it for their own benefit.
At the same time, as a lot of attention from the outside world is focused on the overlapping area incident, another new discovery about the "overlapping area" has once again pushed the "contactees", a special group whose existence was not high before, to the forefront.
On the cusp of the storm.
The contactees were born due to the aura of the Lord of Dreams, Ma'Elim. Although a very small number of mutants have very powerful abilities, most of them just have a little more special abilities related to dreams than ordinary people, and cannot be compared with ordinary people.
Compared with formal professionals.
But as the area of the overlapping area continues to expand, the power of all those in contact also begins to increase inexplicably.
Some of these abilities that were originally useless have become quite powerful after being enhanced.
For example, he originally awakened the ability to simply make people dream, but now he can pull the spirits of others into dreams, and the damage suffered in dreams will also be reflected in reality.
This is an ability that can only be possessed by normal dream casters of level 4 or above, but now it appears in the contacts who were originally just ordinary people.
And those who have awakened powerful abilities are even worse, such as a little girl with dream powers who was recruited by the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, her ability was to blur the boundary between the real world and the dream world, and then call on beings from the dream world to come to the real world to assist in combat.
But now, she has been able to directly define reality as a dream, which is then erased as she wakes up.
In this wave of changes, those forces that had paid enough attention to the contacts before have reaped the biggest dividends, and their own strength has increased dramatically out of thin air.
Anvis's Black Ring Chamber of Commerce is an example. Previously, due to Anvis' insistence on recruiting contacts, he even expanded the size of the chamber of commerce at a negative profit and wasted wages to support them.
Many colleagues had been waiting to see his joke, waiting for the day when the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce's own capital chain was broken and could no longer survive, so that they could harvest the cake.
But now, these people are all dumbfounded, watching the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce's strength rapidly expand, acquiring a large number of talented professional seeds.
However, the huge benefits gained by the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce this time finally attracted the attention of high-level forces.
.
….….
In a mysterious platinum palace located in an unknown space.
There are no decorations inside the hall, only a simple silver round table is placed in the center. Three vague figures surround the round table, and an important small meeting is taking place.
One of the figures was shrouded in a hazy, strange gray mist, and the other figure was wrapped in a black cloak. Through the gaps in the cloak, countless stars hidden under it could be vaguely seen.
The last figure wears a triple crown inlaid with huge star diamonds, and his face is distorted as if it is blocked by a lens, making it difficult to see clearly.
"The situation is getting more and more chaotic, Gray Fog, does this have any impact on our plan?"
After a while, the person wearing the crown took the initiative to speak and looked at the other two people who were silent.
"It has no impact, Your Excellency Speaker. Although some professionals have exceeded expectations due to the expansion of overlapping areas, this will not pose a threat to the plan."
Gray fog answered calmly.
"Constructed networks are steadily gaining popularity, and the people from the [Spark] organization are also at loggerheads with the Glory Alliance. With the help of the Constructed Network Ring, there will be absolutely no problem."
"So, if the overlapping areas are cleared on a large scale, will the capabilities of those 'contacters' continue to maintain their status quo, or will they weaken again?"
"Not sure."
Gray fog shook his head and sighed softly.
"After all, the power of the Lord of Dreams cannot be understood by us now."
