Chapter 642: Chapter 380: Warzone Commander? (4K)_3
The Broken Rock Lord was stunned.
Damn it!
...
The Flowing Arrow General and other powerhouses were estimated to arrive in the domain in a few days and launch a secret surprise attack on Dragon Sleep Valley.
At that time,
Liushi, Weixingzi, White Shark, Azure Sky, Moon Sword Immortal, and Sword Saint Tianhe among other powerhouses, would rest briefly in Tianyuan City before directly striking the Red Mist Land.
Mu Yuan had been tasked with logistics this time around.
Less trouble, not to mention substantial Contribution Points, and the chance to familiarize himself with one big shot after another—it was a rare opportunity.
It was thought that Moon Sword Immortal had originated from the Lord of Han Yue City's family, appearing that time in The Land of Two Realms.
A legend of the Pinnacle Earth Realm.
It was unknown how Duo Lai and Dead Bone would fare in a battle with this Moon Sword Immortal.
Minister Qin wasn't going either; his job was simply to supply some strategic materials. That's what the Logistics Development Department was tasked with.
"This surprise attack offers the Alliance a not insignificant chance of success, yet for a power like Dragon Sleep Valley, it's unlikely they can be brought down with just one surprise attack," he paused, "I'm planning to apply to the Alliance for the establishment of an observation base here and recommend you as the person in charge of this war zone."
"Ah? Me?"
Mu Yuan was taken aback.
Minister Qin said, "The function of the observation base is to construct a type of Miracle Building capable of detecting the Heart of Corruption; this way, should the Monster Overlord continue building the Heart of Corruption, we would be able to detect it immediately."
"Should Dragon Sleep Valley plan an attack here, this domain can transform into a frontline war zone... of course, you don't need to feel too much pressure. The passage to the northern domain is quite narrow, unable to accommodate a tide of attackers; Dragon Sleep Valley isn't likely to attack this domain head-on. Even if it becomes a frontline, it would only be a minor war zone."
"Of course, if it escalates to a major war zone, with your current level of achievement, you wouldn't qualify as the overall commander," he added.
Even if it were a small-scale war zone, Mu Yuan now... soon to be promoted to Three-star Frontier Lord level, would still not qualify to be a commander.
He could only be 'Acting Commander'.
This was greatly beneficial to Mu Yuan.
Setting aside power and Contribution Points for now, the most important aspect was the sense of security.
When Tianyuan Territory was struck by disaster, he had to rely on himself for defense; it was a Lord's duty to protect his own home. It wasn't easy for a territory to seek help in times of disaster.
However, if this were declared a war zone, should Dragon Sleep Valley's formidable forces launch an attack, it would no longer be an issue for just his Tianyuan City alone, but for the entire Tai Xuan Alliance.
He was to be promoted without even visiting the frontline fortress?
Mu Yuan was aware that it was probably Minister Qin who had given a helping hand.
He had delivered a generous gift!
The gift was so significant, and indeed so overwhelming, that he couldn't refuse it.
Qin Guohua had a smile brimming with contentment.
Applying to establish an observation base and granting the position of 'Acting Commander' to Tianyuan were indeed his suggestions.
But the Alliance also had a definitive need for it.
Otherwise, even as the head of the Logistics Development Department handling these matters, it wouldn't be possible to pull this off.
The Alliance needed to be prepared against Dragon Sleep Valley, and this domain truly had strategic value!
After scouting for these past days, he had discovered that although this large domain wasn't expansive, it connected to quite a few areas and was not unimportant in significance.
As for entrusting such a crucial responsibility to Tianyuan, a young individual, was it appropriate?
"Tianyuan is not as simple as he appears on the surface," he mused.
"My guess is that his territory still hides some trump cards, or else he wouldn't be so composed amidst the encirclement of two Monster Overlords. He may have only one Legendary Realm powerhouse, but there are quite a few other means at his disposal to contend with the Legendary Realm."
"Moreover, it's just an observation base, and in daily operation, there are experienced hands in charge. Should an actual situation arise and Dragon Sleep Valley sends troops, with the observation base's early warning, we would have ample time to establish a more solid frontline fortress."
This was the significance of the observation base.
Why not establish a frontline fortress right now? It was due to a lack of funds and manpower; they needed to use the resources where they were most needed.
He looked at Mu Yuan, as there was yet another important task at hand.
"You were the first to discover this large domain, so the matter of naming it shall also be entrusted to you."
