Following Matthew's strategy, he had the spellcasters trained by Bay Territory first learn how to create advanced level magic equipment.
Then, that manufacturing ability was to be combined with automated production factories.
Only by being able to mass-produce advanced magic equipment could they equip their troops on a large scale.
Relying solely on individual mages or professionals to handcraft each piece would be a tremendous waste of human effort and resources.
Of course, to achieve this, Bay Territory had a long way to go.
Matthew didn't stay at Mist Fortress for too long before he went to inspect the three newly established border towns in Misty Swamp.
After arranging the corresponding strategic development and watchtower construction tasks, Matthew also took some time to visit Sweet Water Town.
Contrary to Matthew's expectations, Sweet Water Town, now a ruin, was shrouded in a strange shadow.
The surrounding area for thousands of miles was under its influence.
