Chapter 654: Chapter 385: The Situation in Ten Directions Island Domain (5K)_2
It seemed that the creature faction was greatly at a disadvantage.
Mu Yuan wasn't too concerned.
The power of Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase had already been significantly weakened, and his Tianyuan Territory had gained both the Hall of Martial Souls and the Epic Mage Tower, these two great weapons. He didn't mind fighting another battle.
"Let's reply that we are willing to join hands with your side to create a homeland for the creatures, and we will attend the celebration on the day of the city's foundation."
"Understood, it's been noted."
Mo Li had already opened the notebook she carried with her, and her hand, holding the pen, moved across the page like an electric typewriter.
Finally, she brought up the fourth matter.
"Minister Isloa believes that the current City Hall is involved in too many areas and suggests separating the City Hall from the City Lord's Mansion. The City Administration's office should also be moved to the newly constructed municipal building in the South City District."
"Is that so..."
Mu Yuan contemplated.
The City Administration currently did possess a lot of power.
Various battle reports and data intelligence were all consolidated in this department, but in theory, departments like the Intelligence Division and the Reconnaissance Corps were not under the jurisdiction of City Hall.
But the Tianyuan Territory was initially a makeshift organization, built only a year ago... and it was still a few days shy of a full year.
All the department heads of the territory, including Isloa, had been hurriedly put in charge, so it was natural for the Management framework set up in haste to have many shortcomings.
The problem wasn't really significant.
This was the world of the Lords, where all Great Force and power belonged to the Lords themselves.
If it were an Official Lord or a Group Lord, it might not be certain, but an independent Lord, regardless of strength, certainly held the reins of power.
The troops recruited by Remnant Soul, from the moment of their creation, were bound to the Lord and represented the most loyal force in the hands of the Lord.
Isloa wasn't of military kind, however... she was a subordinate recruited from the Festival Grounds and reshaped by the power of the realm's rules. Her status as a Tianyuan Domain Hero was certified by the rules of nature and earth, placing her squarely within the direct lineage.
Mu Yuan was always trusting of the people he used.
And fact proved Isloa to be reliable... most of the time.
Her suggestion was reasonable, however, Mu Yuan suspected that her main motive for this suggestion was to reduce her own workload.
After the separation, wouldn't the entire burden of the City Lord's Mansion fall upon him, the Lord?
"Approved."
Said Mu Yuan.
The City Lord's Mansion indeed had become somewhat crowded these days, and the primary responsibility of the City Hall was the management of Territory Citizens.
But Isloa had thirteen permanent incarnations, so couldn't he assign one or two to take care of the work at the City Lord's Mansion?
...
Somewhere in the Ten Directions Island Domain.
Inside the Natural Garden.
The elves were busier than they had ever been, packing and moving items.
At the center of the Secret Realm.
At the top of an ancient tree.
The Legendary Elf Milena was silent for a long time, "Are we really going to migrate to Myriad Nations Territory? We just defeated the Monster Overlord, this is the most hopeful moment for us in a century!"
The Legendary Elf Windchaser Ranger was silent for a while, "Hope is merely hope, whereas moving to Myriad Nations Territory will grant us a peaceful and serene homeland, free from fear and alarm."
"Milena, we did indeed defeat the Overlord this time, but you must realize, the main force in this battle was Tianyuan City, and with Tianyuan City's potential, it may only be a matter of a few years before they far surpass our Natural Garden. After all, they are humans, and we are elves, ultimately a different race."
"It's different in the Federation of All Nations. I've confirmed that many elves live within the Federation, and our elven race's influence is enough to be ranked in the top three. Moreover, I've made contact with one of the groups, whose ancestors, like ours, came from the same lineage as the Imperial Garden."
But the ancestors only knew each other to a limited extent.
There might be some acquaintance, but definitely not much.
Besides...
The Federation of All Nations was not absolutely safe. There were also battles, competition, and incidents of the Scarlet Mist Tide invasion within the Federation. .net
After their migration from the Natural Garden to Myriad Nations Territory, they could only settle in a remote, resource-poor, and not-so-safe area.
In her view, this was far worse than gambling on a future in the Ten Directions Island Domain.
After all, mine after mine was being exploited, and they were no longer so lacking in resources.
Moreover, there was the hatred for the Monster Overlord.
They might forget or bury it deep, but Milena would not forget. Her comrades, her teacher, her brother, her lover, all had died at the hands of Fang of the Jackal Wolf, and she would never forget.
"So be it then."
She sighed, "Don't forget to stay in touch in the future, at least we have many mining resources here."
Windchaser Ranger said, "Of course, I wish you all the best."
He paused then continued, "If... if the situation changes, we're always willing to welcome you, our home here will always be yours."
...
That afternoon, at the Observation Base.
The base was constructed beneath a black colossus, less than ten kilometers from the former Jackal Man fortress.
Mu Yuan, riding Jun, accompanied by Duo Lai, took only half a day to arrive there.
He soon met the person in charge of the base.
A man dressed in gray full-body armor, tall like a tower.
The man took off his helmet, "Welcome, Officer."
Mu Yuan shook hands with the man, "The operation of the base relies heavily on the General, I am, after all, just a layman."
In name, Mu Yuan was the Officer, in charge of the Observation Base.
But as he was just a newcomer to the Pioneer Group, his sudden appointment as acting commander inevitably led to dissatisfaction among some, and certainly, he wouldn't do anything that might be criticised.
