Arantir. Golem Factory.

Eye-Seeker-Akasha is making his rounds of the extensive factory, which has been expanded several times by Stephen and has dozens of production workshops, constantly producing steel golem parts in an assembly line. The current workers working in the Golem Factory are mainly the Stoneheart Dwarf clan from String Moon, who are responsible for producing parts for the Steel Golem, while the members of the Blind Witch Society are responsible for enchanting and burning runes, and the final process is completed by Akasha and the High Witches. At the current efficiency of the Golem Factory, about six or seven Steel Golems are crafted and stored in the warehouse every day.

"Your Excellency Akasha. The inventory of large soul crystals is running out. A middle-aged witch in a gray robe walked in.

The production of golems is resource-intensive.

One of the most important expenditures is the soul crystal, in the past, wizards used to draw their own power to activate the golem, in the case of playing games, it was to deduct their own experience points to activate the golem. However, during the Arcane Empire, this technology made a breakthrough, and wizards replaced this expenditure by extracting the power of soul crystals, avoiding that they would lose their level and reduce experience in the process of making golem puppets, and since then the scale of the Golem Legion has begun to expand, otherwise no wizard can bear the consumption of soul ability.

"I see. Insight Akasha nodded and said, "I'll be going to the ant's nest in the afternoon." ”

Most of the Golem Factory's soul crystals are supplied by Zela's Ant Hive, and after surviving the initial cultivation period, the Zela Antclan has been providing Stephen with a steady stream of resources.

In the realm of nightmares, there is the labyrinth hunting ground of the Zela ant clan, which specializes in hunting mutated monsters to obtain soul crystals.

- "Limited Wishing Technique!"

- "Activate and construct life!"

Eyewitness - Akasha has completed the spell in his hand, and crafting the Iron Golem requires the specialty of crafting constructed creatures, as well as other spell activations, the most important of which is the limited wishing spell. This is a seven-ring spell that can only be cast by high-level wizards, and if you are making a legendary-level golem, you also need to cast the wishing spell of the nine rings. The production of the Steel Golem is limited, partly because of the high demand for materials, and partly because there are not enough high-level wizards. It's like making robots, without enough senior engineers, it is obvious that ordinary workers alone can't complete the production, and they can only produce some robot parts at most.

Airplanes.

The steel golem in front of it shook slightly, and then it stood up and stared at the witch in front of it motionlessly.

Akasha reached out and gently wiped the crystal ball next to her, and then the row of steel golems standing in front of her automatically walked towards the underground warehouse. In Stephen's words at the time, if he wanted to create a real Golem Army, he needed the full support of Arantir, the Five Rings Tower, the Blind Witches, the Nether's Tower, the Silver Dome City, and even the entire world of Motera, he needed hundreds of mines to provide a steady stream of resources, thousands of high-level wizards to provide technical support, thousands of workshops to complete the production of parts, a huge logistics repair team, and an extremely powerful civilization force to create a real Golem Army.

But Stephen didn't have all of this, so he had to slowly hoard the number of Steel Golems in the most cost-effective way.

Fortunately, the dark abyss has been eaten, and with a plane as a resource backing, Stephen's life is somewhat more relaxed than before. Now, thanks to the work of the witches day and night, Arantir has accumulated more than three hundred steel golems, which may be a little insufficient in terms of strength, but with the stone golems is enough to fight a head-on battle with the swarm.

After all, Stephen wasn't going to participate in the Abyss Blood War, so an army of Iron Golems had already met his minimum requirements.

Underground, Zela's Ant Nest.

"Your Excellency Akasha. The Empress of the Zela Ant Clan nodded slightly to the witch in front of her.

Now she has basically turned into a human form, seven or eight points similar to the fallen Zela Ant Queen, the surface of her body is covered with a dark cyan cuticle, her head has a pair of small antennae, and her face is similar to that of a human, but with a bit of elven characteristics, after completing the evolution, the Empress of the Zela Ant Clan abandoned her queen-like reproductive organs, and completely handed over the task of reproduction to the Queen of Zela, she became a pure ruler, with the goal of pursuing a more powerful psionic power. Around her are teams of Antclan Psionics, and because of Stephen's interference, the Zela Antclan is gradually recovering the abilities of the interstellar ant colony, and the increase in the number of psionics is a sign.

Ant tribes are born from insect colonies.

They are an astral race in their own right, and have been drifting within the astral realm for a long time.

"There aren't enough soul crystals. Akasha said slowly, "Your Excellency Stephen has requested that the inventory of the Steel Golem must be increased to more than a thousand next month. ”

The Empress of the Zela Ant Clan was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "I understand. ”

Her light tentacles moved slightly, and then a group of ant guards rushed over, led by a Zela queen, and she commanded, "You lead the ant guards and psionics into the Nightmare Realm, and hunt down some powerful monsters as much as possible." ”

"Yes. Queen. The Queen Zela said without hesitation.

Akasha hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you need our help?"

"No, you don't. The Empress of the Ant Clan smiled, "The Ant Clan can handle all this. ”

The Zela Antclan is different from the others, they need to prove their worth, and the Zela Antclan Empress understands this, because only then can she hold enough weight in Stephen's heart to get what the colony wants from him.

Eye-Seeker-Akasha didn't say much, and turned away from the underground nest.

Although there are many forces under Stephen's command, the relationship between them is not very close, the Zela ant colony only obeys his orders alone, and the Chanda Council is only relatively friendly to the aboriginal wizards of the Motella world, and the relationship between the wizards and the Chanda Council is even worse than that of the witchers of the Crow's Nest.

Everyone was united because of Stephen, and the person in charge of it all in the first place was the Void Master.

Recent.

Some of the Quetzalcoatl gods came to Arrantiel, and these divine creatures had little contact with outsiders and didn't like to interact with wizards, except for the occasional visit to the demigods. The Lichs of the Tower of the Nethers and the Banshees of the Valley of Wailing chose to obey more out of fear for Stephen, and were not at all afraid of the Dark Wizards of the Five Rings Tower itself.

True integration takes a long time.

However, Stephen's existence did unite these forces, which was something that the Void Master wanted to do but did not do.
