My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 620: Chapter 373: A Visitor from Tai Xuan (4K)_2

If these units had intelligence, self-awareness, they would definitely be very grateful...right.

Once a Remnant Soul reaches the Rare Level, it becomes an absolute hard currency, able to fetch a high price anywhere. Mu Yuan kept only some Silver Pegasus, Royal Griffons, Shadow Assassins, and Nun's Remnant Souls, and sold off the rest.

"My total number of units is now 50,000. If I recruit all these Remnant Souls, I'll have a force of 65,000. I can produce about 26,000 Evolution Points a day, which is enough to evolve five Epic Lives. To evolve an Epic Three-star general, I'd need to save up for three or four days."

"Even if I evolve an entire one thousand Excellent One-star Legion to the Three-star Stage of Excellence, it would take...uh, about 24 days."

That seemed like quite a long time.

His trump card Undead Legion already had many elites who had stepped into the Three-star Excellence stage, but he also had many Legions, a large number of Rare units, and Excellent-level units that needed evolution.

The output of Evolution Points, though not insignificant, still never seemed to be enough.

Now that the imminent crisis had been averted, Tianyuan Territory could probably enjoy a relatively peaceful development period, so Mu Yuan wasn't in such a rush anymore.

First, recruit these fourteen or fifteen thousand units.

It was a laborious task.

Recruiters had to stand in front of the Lord's Altar, continuously, endlessly clicking to recruit. Due to the limited space of the Lord's Altar, the next batch of recruits could only proceed once the previous batch had been moved away.

The entire recruitment process was likely to last more than a day and a night.

Mu Yuan had already experienced this kind of recruitment process and just the thought of it gave him a headache. No, he was a patient now, still not recovered, obviously unable to go through this kind of mentally and physically repetitive labor.

"I need to grab a strong man for the job, the recruiter must have a hero status."

Mu Yuan stepped out of his living quarters and was immediately met by a pink-haired young girl passing by.

He shook his head slightly, this won't do. Her work hours were already full, not something a squeeze could make room for.

Boss Dead Bone, Lu Liu, they're also busy people.

They are in the midst of subjugating a large Monster Tribe.

So is Duo Lai.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the idle General Duo Lai was wandering around, with a tuft of hair on its forehead swaying in the wind.

It was just too leisurely.

But considering that Duo Lai was about to set off on a campaign, Mu Yuan skipped over it, his gaze landing on Xi Liu next to Duo Lai, who was gnawing on a meat skewer half the height of a person.

I've decided on you.

"Xi Liu, the organization has an arduous task for you, to recruit all the Remnant Souls collected yesterday. I'll have the commanders of each legion coordinate with you to transfer the new recruits," Mu Yuan said, patting her shoulder.

"For this task, I'm afraid only you are capable."

"Ah? Me?" Xi Liu opened her mouth, looked at Lord, then at Duo Lai.

Mu Yuan also looked at Duo Lai as if contemplating, "If it were Duo Lai..."

Suddenly, Duo Lai spoke seriously, "Lord is right, only you can take on this task. Oh, I just remembered Boss Dead Bone was looking for me, I must go now, see you later..."

Xi Liu: "(?o?)"

...

On this bright morning in Tianyuan City, the lair of Fang of the Jackal Wolf was overcast with dark clouds.

Those Werewolf Legends who had survived the great battle, as well as the direct descendants of the Fourth-order Strongman, returned here one after another.

They were still frightened.

They looked at their king.

The Wolf King.

Two Snake Man Legends looked at the Wolf King too because the Blood Serpent Emperor had fallen at Tianyuan City. Aside from the three Legendary Realm members left to guard their lair, they couldn't say for certain how many Snake Man Legends had survived.

At that time, they were fleeing, racing away from the range of that devastating thunderfire, without any strength left to care about anything else.

Perhaps there were injured Legends still on their way back.

Or perhaps, they were the only ones left.

"Human weapons are too terrifying!"

"That must be a trump card of human heritage, with only the power for one strike. At that time, the human city was already on the verge of collapse. If we hadn't fled, we might have taken down the human city by now."

"Even if the human trump card has only one strike, do you dare to try it again?"

The surrounding Monster Legends fell silent.

They looked to the Wolf King, expecting the strongest among them to make a decision.

The Wolf King saw the panic in their eyes, and he said, "Don't panic, our lair is well-hidden, and we have many defensive measures; that human force wouldn't dare to attack us. At least, we are safe for the short term."

"The problem we now face is how to deal with this human force in the future, and... how to respond to Dragon Sleep Valley."

We can't just say they were utterly defeated.

Defeated by a mere human city-level force, even the messenger lord has fallen in battle.

To say that, our reinforcements would certainly be no more, and we might even suffer punishment from Dragon Sleep Valley.

We must give the battle report a bit of an artistic touch.

"My king, what should we do?"

Pairs of eyes looked to him.

The Wolf King's headache grew worse, "I am thinking, I am thinking! But the immediate priority is to search and see if there are any survivors among the few legends from Dragon Sleep Valley."

As for reporting to Dragon Sleep Valley? Until we come up with a suitable reason, we'll just have to stall.

...

In the Twilight Plains, deep in the wilderness.

"Screech—"

A giant bird with wings spanned over forty meters, was riding a cyan hurricane, swooping across the sky.

Its faint aura scared away some intelligent flying creatures in terror.

If Mu Yuan were here, he would recognize that the giant bird looked familiar, similar to a mature version of Jun.

This was the Wings of the Wind King.

A legendary Wings of the Wind King.

Several figures sat on its broad back.

"Is it said that Tianyuan Territory was moved to another domain during the Great Merge and that the entrance is in this nearby area?"

"Indeed."

The master of the Wings of the Wind King, legendary strongman Qin Guohua, said, "Tianyuan is also facing the threat from the local monster overlord, we must find the passage with utmost speed, otherwise..."

Qin Guohua was an official powerhouse of the frontier department, in charge of logistics and transportation.

He had volunteered to take on this task after hearing Lord of Luo Fu Mountain speak of the peril Mu Yuan faced.

On the back of the Wings of the Wind King were also two other Frontier Lords who had taken up the task to assist.

One of them, the 'Broken Rock Lord', said, "But we Frontier Lords are not babysitters; we can protect Tianyuan temporarily, but not forever. Besides… isn't it common for our Miracle Lords to face catastrophic crises? How can a lord grow stronger if he can't overcome a crisis? Let alone, this is our Tai Xuan's most gifted young lord; it would be unbecoming of his reputation."

He recognized the unprecedented feat the Lord Tianyuan achieved at the Festival Grounds, but it is a lord's duty to defend their own territory.

A lord who cannot even protect his territory is surely not a strong lord.

Minister Qin said, "While you can't be wrong, the Eternal World is filled with numerous unexpected events. Isn't the Tai Xuan Alliance established to protect our homes and shield the young who have not yet grown? Think about it, when our normal frontier territories encounter disasters, they have the official cities to front the line.

But Tianyuan doesn't have that, not only does it lack that, but it has also fallen into even more dangerous territory. A lord's growth needs to face crises repeatedly, but the crises facing Tianyuan have clearly exceeded the limit. This is not tempering, but an insurmountable disaster."

Despite this, Tianyuan still hasn't reached out to exercise his right to an emergency call for aid.

Should he say that Tianyuan is too stubborn, or that such talented individuals are simply too proud?

The Broken Rock Lord fell silent.

After considering it carefully, he realized it was true.

He had never requested reinforcements; it was his pride, and he looked down on those self-proclaimed talents who still couldn't defend their territory and had to call for help.

But, putting himself in their shoes, what if during a disaster there were no official territories attracting a bulk of the firepower;

What if, when the monster power attacks, they did not fear the Tai Xuan Alliance backing him up;

What if...

There were many such "what ifs", and when they all applied, it would be the situation that Tianyuan faced at the moment.

Could he, Broken Rock, confidently claim that he could fend off the enemy outside the city walls without any reinforcements and keep his territory safe?

He dared not.

Letting Tianyuan's abilities lie aside for a moment, his luck was possibly indeed... a bit poor.

It's indeed a pity if such a person were to perish in an accident.

He still wanted to see how far the young lord, known as the most talented of the younger generation, could go in the future.

"Look, is that the perilous area mentioned by Lord Linglong?"
