My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 572: Chapter 356: The Night Raven's Butler (4K)

Shen Linglong began to mobilize her contacts, reaching out to some old friends.

However, as a young Lord and one of the best among her peers, she didn't have many influential acquaintances; most of them were holding important positions in the Pioneer Group or delving into dangerous lands, with little spare time.

For a moment, figuring out where to find a few strong reinforcements truly gave her a headache.

But she had already boasted about her capabilities, how could she admit to failure!

She started mobilizing troops from within her own territory.

Shen Linglong had two complete Army Soul Corps at her disposal. Although it was impossible to transfer both Trump Cards over, having just one complete Army Soul Corps meant she could exert a power far beyond an ordinary Legendary being. By then, Shen Linglong would have no problem facing two or even three enemies on her own.

She would display the posture of a war god in front of Tianyuan's young brother.

Gaga~!

"However, I didn't expect Tianyuan Territory to be this lively. I heard they have passed the promotion trial and advanced to a level 5 city-level territory."

That Tianyuan had passed the promotion trial was quite normal; when she applied for the promotion trial, her combined strength was probably not even comparable to Tianyuan's.

Yet, she was still surprised that Tianyuan had managed to develop and expand its territory so quickly, stepping into the 'senior Lord' rank.

Managing a territory is not just about being able to fight.

Combat prowess is the most important ability, but several other skills are also indispensable.

Once, she had accidentally allowed too many refugees to enter, causing the territory citizens' satisfaction index to fall below the acceptable line, nearly resulting in an accident. But looking at Tianyuan City, internal conflicts among Territory Citizens were rare, with patrols and security teams maintaining order exceptionally well.

She thought it was probably because there were too many troublemakers among the refugees she had taken in.

There's always some troublesome citizens looking to stir up trouble!

But in her forces, starting with generals like Yan Qiu and the others, not one had political abilities over 60 points, being not in the negatives was already quite good. On the other hand, the generals from Tianyuan seemed to be very wise.

She thought of Sophia.

Generals like Sophia, who were intelligent, seemed to be present in Tianyuan Territory, and there were even more generals with high combat strength.

"No wonder Tianyuan Territory, despite facing a great disaster and persecution from the Monster Overlords, has still managed to hold on."

Even with the Elves and Giants as powerful allies, such a situation was extremely difficult and dangerous.

If it were an ordinary senior Lord, let alone lasting three or four months, they might not even hold out for one or half a month.

Moreover...

The time since Tianyuan Territory was established, seemed to be, apparently, roughly... not even a year yet.

What was she doing at the one-year mark? She seemed to be still developing the surrounding barren lands, still wrestling with small Monster Tribes.

Shen Linglong, using the 'Lord·Hero' connection, contacted the main general she had left in charge of Linglong City and instructed them to go to her study, to take out communication items number two, six, and eleven, and to make the calls.

"New area development, brothers, come quickly!"

...

"In reality, if I were to use the prerogative for emergency assistance, it's not that I couldn't summon strong reinforcements," Mu Yuan pondered.

The Tai Xuan Alliance had been established for over sixty years and rose rapidly to stand alongside nations like Yongxing and Shen Mu due to the unity of most Lords and a reasonable and standardized contribution system.

If a Lord from the Tai Xuan Alliance faced a major crisis, they could exercise the right to seek emergency assistance. At that time, Lords from all around and Officials' strong individuals would come to their aid.

The scale of the reinforcement forces also depended on the information provided by the Lord when seeking emergency assistance.

Of course, the Lord using the right of emergency assistance would also have to pay a large sum of contributions, which, if insufficient, could be paid later without interest. The various Lords and chosen strong individuals who came to assist would each receive some Tai Xuan contributions based on their strength and achievements.

Mu Yuan could do the same.

After all, it wasn't the Red Fog Disaster Moon, and the integration with Lanxing had also passed smoothly. The front lines were urgent but not as dire as the first half of the year. If he invoked the power of emergency assistance, he could call for strong reinforcements.

At most, he would have to overspend a huge amount in contributions.

Mu Yuan was not afraid to overdraw, nor was he afraid he couldn't afford the exchange, it's just...

Reinforcements could only solve immediate threats, but couldn't resolve the real difficulties at hand.

Just like some Lords with insufficient capabilities, unable to defend their territories, they couldn't possibly call for aid time and again. Reinforcement forces didn't have the time, nor could they stay long in the requesting Lord's territory.

Mu Yuan's situation was similar.

Even if he could call on a dozen Legendary Realm fighters for help, what then? What could he do? Once the enemy retreated into the wilderness, he essentially couldn't find them. The location of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf remained uncertain. If he were to call for strong reinforcements but only managed to kill a couple of Legendary beings and defeat a few Monster waves, those reinforcements...

would they not have been summoned in vain?

"The Monster Overlord is very cunning," he mused.

"Whether it's Fang of the Jackal Wolf or Blood Snake Encase, their nests are hidden quite securely, probably in anticipation of backup from the Vitality Forces."

"Moreover..."

Mu Yuan's goal was not merely to defeat Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase; he also wanted to eliminate as many Legendary beings from the two overlords as possible.

Only by doing so could his Tianyuan exploratory teams going out for expansion in the future not always be on tenterhooks. Otherwise, even if he defeated the two overlords, the remaining Monster Legendaries lurking in the wilderness would present significant trouble and even losses to his own territory.

Emergency assistance was unnecessary.

However, this was also related to the gradually improving situation of his Tianyuan Territory.
