God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World

Chapter 521 521: How Did You Guys Do It?

"No, no, no, it's not like that. Just now, we took out the ice spirit king. Starting today, our strategy for north of the watch wall is going to undergo major changes."

Hearing that, Wolf General paused. She wondered if recently, every time she'd looked for him, it was about needing weapons and equipment.

Otherwise, why would he react like that?

"You guys took out the ice spirit king?" Viscount Roster's face was full of shock and surprise.

He hadn't expected to suddenly get news like this.

If that was the case, didn't that mean they could completely reclaim north of the watch wall soon?

Without the ice spirit king, those ice spirits were just a leaderless horde scattered to the winds that area.

But they couldn't really pose any danger.

Any random few supernatural beings with some combat power could team up and eliminate them.

Future combat methods could even change.

They could continuously establish settlement after settlement, then each settlement could send out a few people. That would basically clear out the threat.

Before, they had to expand outward bit by bit. Now they could completely use points to cover the surface, quickly getting the entire land under their control.

"Just a little while ago, the ice spirits launched a full-scale attack on us. Probably gathered several million, maybe even ten million ice spirits. These ice spirits came like waves, one after another."

Wolf General's tone was calm. "While we were fighting them, we accidentally discovered an ice spirit with magic abilities. Based on our previous research, he was very likely the ice spirit king. So we dispatched our most elite forces to launch a surprise attack on him."

"Turns out, as long as you drop enough legendary-level magic, no matter what he is, you can eliminate him."

"After we took out this ice spirit king with magic abilities, the entire ice spirit group underwent huge changes. All the ice spirits instantly scattered and lost all sense of order."

"They're now completely dispersed in the surrounding area."

"If I had to describe it, they're basically no different from wild beasts scattered outside now. Any random few people can handle them."

"Based on our research, the ice spirits might go down two different paths next. One is that these ice spirits will completely disperse throughout this region, and it'll be the same going forward."

"At most, occasionally a few intelligent ice spirits will gather some forces, but the scale definitely won't be too big."

"The other possibility is that through long evolution, they'll form a new ice spirit king."

"So I think we should change our past approach and start laying out settlements on a large scale, then begin systematically clearing out the remaining ice spirits."

"We'll try to wipe out all these monsters in a short time."

"Of course, this isn't an investment with no returns."

"Based on our exploration, north of the watch wall, there are tons of mines. I think from now on, we should treat north of the watch wall as individual economic entities."

"Even though we're sending personnel to establish settlements, every place needs lots of regular people."

"Regular people can work in industries like mining here. In the future, we can explore planting methods and so on. Of course, we can also build some factories."

"Then use those outputs to trade for food and stuff."

"That makes it easier to complete the framework of this economic entity. We'll also need to build some ultra-high-speed rail transit systems."

"A simple economic cycle will be established. And in this process, we'll have access to more mine resources to push forward development..."

Wolf General had really rich experience from before. Even though that experience was a bit outdated compared to this era, she was a member of the Church of Technology, so she could still keep up.

Listening to her talk on and on, Viscount Roster couldn't help but look a bit exasperated. "If you've already decided everything, why are you calling me?"

They'd solved the ice spirit king, decided on the next strategy, even figured out the transformation method and how to tap this region's potential. Everything was covered.

"Of course I need your cooperation. You didn't think we could do all this ourselves, right?"

Wolf General looked at Viscount Roster in surprise. "Besides, I'm just making a suggestion. How to specifically develop it is still up to you."

"Once the war situation here is completely settled, I'll head to the Tulip Kingdom and join Lava General to face that world over there."

"I heard the monsters being thrown over have been increasing lately."

"The monsters being thrown over are indeed increasing. But at the same time, we're sending more and more clerics over."

"So there's not too much pressure."

Viscount Roster said with a smile, "You guys don't need to rush on this."

Even though he said that, Viscount Roster's actions were anything but slow.

After confirming the war situation north of the watch wall, this news quickly spread across the entire continent.

Everyone was shocked.

"I didn't expect the Church of Technology's war situation to go so smoothly!?"

"That ice spirit king just got solved like that! Feels kinda anticlimactic."

"Actually, it wasn't simple. That last wave was straight-up terrifying. If it had been any other force facing it, they probably would've been done for."

"No kidding. During that last wave, one legendary magic spell could only hold back the ice spirit army for less than 2 minutes. And that's just one area—they needed to drop over a dozen legendary spells at the same time."

"If they hadn't discovered the ice spirit king at the end and taken him out, who knows when that wave would've been resolved. Wave after wave."

"If it weren't for the watch wall, unless all the forces united, there's no way they could've stopped these ice spirits. Our ancestors built the watch wall out of desperation."

"Compared to discussing the past, what I care about more is that Viscount Roster plans to establish settlements north of the watch wall and wants people to go. Are you guys willing?"

"Why take the risk? A bunch of factories just popped up around my place. I feel like my life is on the up and up."

"I heard they're paying really high wages. Supposedly they're forming a super huge mining group, on par with Foster, and this group will use magic conductors on a large scale for digging. No need for hard labor."

"..."

Pretty much everyone on the Magic Net was discussing this.

Some people were considering the war situation. Others were discussing whether they should go develop there, what the risks were, what the benefits were.

But compared to them, the most active right now were probably those merchants.
