Chapter 655: Chapter 385: The Situation in Ten Directions Island Domain (5K)_3
Under the leadership of the Battle Armor General, Mu Yuan toured the base to observe it.
The base was not large.
Yet, it had already constructed Rare Level walls as well as defensive constructions such as Arrow Towers, Multishot Arrow Towers, Thunder Magnetic Coil Towers, and so on.
At the very center was a Superior Grade building—the core of this base, the 'Mist-Piercing Lighthouse,' which could lock onto the Heart of Corruption and give early warnings when the Scarlet Mist Tide appeared.
The entire observation base also had three hundred Elite soldiers stationed and was guarded by a Legendary Realm strongman, the Battle Armor General.
There was not much going on at the base on a daily basis.
But once something happened, it tended to be a significant event.
"I will send a liaison officer to be stationed at the observation base permanently, but the management and operation of the base will still be your responsibility, General. In the event you discover any unexpected situations, you can get in touch either through the liaison officer or use an artifact to make contact promptly."
...
When Mu Yuan returned to his territory, dusk had already fallen.
But riding Jun with Duo Lai escorting, he could supposedly go anywhere unimpeded... as if.
Adhering to a principle of cautiousness, Mu Yuan did not let Jun fly at full speed. In this way, the aura they emitted was much less intense, and it would not draw the attention of enemies.
He had not forgotten that Fang of the Jackal Wolf still existed.
He also had not forgotten that Dragon Sleep Valley was right next door.
What if there were other pathways between Ten Directions Island Domain and Dragon Sleep Valley? What if Dragon Sleep Valley had already quietly sent a strongman to infiltrate? What if the Ten Directions Island Domain was also adjacent to other top-tier overlords?
Safety first.
Upon returning to his territory, Mu Yuan found Sophia.
Everyone was a night owl... each was a top ten outstanding employee, and at this time, Sophia was still busy compiling and summarizing intelligence reports.
"You have some knowledge of the Battle Armor General, right?"
"I have a bit of an understanding," she said.
"The Battle Armor General is a seasoned legend who stepped into the Legendary Realm ten years ago, and a major general under the Lord of Nan Shan of the Logistics Development Department."
"And this Lord Nan Shan is a Lord from about the same era as Minister Qin. On the surface, Nan Shan's domain boasts no less than nine Legendary Realm majors. Back when Lord Nan Shan was waging wars during the frontier expansions, six Legendary Realm generals fell in battle. He is a veteran with a deep history, and his military exploits are especially distinguished."
Mu Yuan showed his respect.
The Tai Xuan Alliance still often faced wars and the assaults of the Scarlet Mist Tide. Every year, many territories were annihilated and many legendary beings would fall, but compared to the early years, it was still countless times stronger.
The fact that the old Tai Xuan had taken root and stood firm meant that the older generation must have shed innumerable tears and blood.
Sophia said, disheartened, "We in Tianyuan don't have our own intelligence network; we can only gather information from the public platform of the Alliance, which is a bit limited. I'll try to figure out a way to gather more in the next few days."
Mu Yuan shook his head, "No need, it's fine the way it is. This is not your fault; building an intelligence network is not something that can be done overnight."
He added, "Now that Tianyuan City has been made public, we may gradually have visitors. You need to be vigilant for potential assassins and spies among them."
"Understood!" Sophia became reinvigorated.
...
Mu Yuan did not simply lie down to rest upon returning to the City Lord's Mansion.
He went to the mansion's dedicated liaison room, opened the third drawer, and took out the liaison artifact inside to contact Minister Qin.
The elderly gentleman probably already knew of the completion of the observation base, but he still deserved to be officially informed.
Mu Yuan realized it was a bit late when he made the call.
Just as he was about to hang up, Minister Qin's side had answered and the Minister was on his way.
Two minutes later,
The call connected, and Mu Yuan chatted with Elder Qin for a while, informing him about some of the situations in the Ten Directions Island Domain. .net
"If any issues arise, you can ask for assistance from the generals under Lord Nan Shan. The boy Battle Armor is someone I watched grow up; he is quite capable."
"Rest assured, Elder Qin; currently, the Ten Directions Island Domain is fairly peaceful. I believe that in some time, our Tianyuan Territory will be able to firmly stand on its own feet and not fear the Monster Overlords."
Elder Qin stroked his beard.
Of course, he believed this to be true.
Now Tianyuan could only passively defend, relying on allies and trump cards to repel overlords. But with another half a year, one year, two years, when several of his domain's Peak Strongmen successively entered the Legendary Realm, it seemed that they could hold and repel overlords with conventional strength alone, right?
He was aware that Tianyuan had several Peak Strongmen under its command, each already possessing the 'Posture of Legend.'
However, the forthcoming migration of the Natural Garden and Giant Stone Ridge might result in a significant drop in the life force of the Ten Directions Island Domain, providing opportunities for Monster Overlords.
But with the Battle Armor General stationed there, they could compensate for this gap in combat power.
Hopefully, the lad Tianyuan would grow up soon.
Mu Yuan took this opportunity to inquire about the situation at the advanced study institute.
"There is indeed such a matter," Minister Qin said, "The institute mainly targets age-appropriate citizens of Xuan Country, with both a junior and a senior college. There's long been a set of allotted spots for you Lords."
"The current requirements are either to send a capable instructor, with one instructor in exchange for several senior college advanced study spots, or to exchange for them with Contribution Points."
So that was the case; he was relieved.
He was not short on Contribution Points, and sending out a capable instructor was not a problem either.
What Tianyuan Territory was least short on was generals.
But then, Minister Qin added, "I can also give you more spots, though there is a small condition."
Mu Yuan: "Ah?"
Minister Qin: "The condition is simple. In a few months, when the front-line battle is over, the Alliance is going to hold a troop presentation celebration. This is aimed at stabilizing the public's spirit, to let the citizens see that although the world has changed, our Xuan Country, Tai Xuan, still has the strength to protect our own homeland.
At that time, I hope that you, as a representative of the younger generation, will lead a corps to participate in the parade to show the world the face of Tai Xuan."
Mu Yuan: "Ah?"
