My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 292: Chapter 246: Watching the Legendary Ceremony (3K)_1

Within Tianyuan Territory, the majestic black city walls gradually encompassed and enclosed the entire territory.

The thirteen-meter high city walls blocked a considerable amount of sight, as well as the red fog and monster tides drifting outside.

From the city walls, they built one small fortress after another, providing shelter to archers.

Sophia had been purchasing archer remnant souls for Mu Yuan for the past two months. Up to present, the number of strong shooters and god archers in Tianyuan Territory had reached over 500.

They, alongside the numerous skeleton warriors and skeleton generals, formed the most fundamental long-distance defensive line for the territory.

Compared to the skeleton series, the shooters have a longer shooting range and greater endurance.

But the skeleton generals also had their merits – they could handle both long and short distances, both shooting and resisting, pairing well with the archers.

“We have a limited number of soldiers of professional level and above, so when the monster tide attacks, we should find a way to guide them, concentrate them in a particular area, and wipe them out,” Mu Yuan instructed General Lu Liu as they walked and observed from atop the city walls, accompanied by other clever generals such as Bone Four, Niu Si, and Lainey.

The red fog disaster moon’s primary impact on the territory was that exploration teams could no longer continue to expand the map. The primary radius of activity had shrunk from two to three hundred kilometers to one to two hundred kilometers, with only General Dead Bone venturing into the wilderness to investigate.

Additionally, it had become more difficult to guide the territory citizens during the disaster moon period.

Mu Yuan had arranged for Jun and a group of elite Azure Birds (Excellence One) to patrol the boundaries of the territory in shifts around the clock. Therefore, unlike other territories, citizens emerging from the white fog would not immediately be swarmed and devoured by nearby monsters.

Jun is currently escorting the citizens.

However, the frequency of citizens’ appearances has drastically dropped during the disaster moon period, often not even able to guide three to five citizens in a day.

As a result, the current population of Tianyuan Territory is just over 6,000, still quite a distance from the upgrade standard of 8,000 citizens.

“Although we have enough territorial area, I’m not in much of a hurry to upgrade my territory. However, I’m afraid top second-generation lords like Wangba have already met the conditions to upgrade to a fourth-level territory?”

The first four territory levels are relatively easy to upgrade.

The challenge for ordinary lords is to accumulate rare buildings; while for top lords, the hardest part is collecting citizens.

The growth of citizens depends on time.

Mu Yuan himself had spent a substantial amount of krypton gold – he had purchased a considerable number of ordinary guiding landmarks.

But his spending was small compared to the top second-generation lords who were likely to spend generously.

A certain part of the Scenic Highlands.

Lord Wangba stood atop his grand castle, overlooking the bustling streets of his town, his head slightly aching.

” I’ve spent a lot of money on guiding citizens to my territory, and I’ve long met the requirements to upgrade to a fourth-level territory, but…”

But he dared to upgrade his territory?

The higher the land rank, the stronger the territory’s attraction to monster tides.

With a current three-level territory, 8,000 citizens, dozens of rare and several super rare buildings, he feared that he would shine too brightly in the monsters’ eyes to dare upgrade further.

Assessing risk is an essential basic course for any lord.

Looking out into the distance, he thought, “However, if it were Tianyuan, he would surely have no fear and directly opt for the fourth level, I still have a long way to go.”

Mr. Mu wanted to upgrade his territory, but he couldn’t.

However, aside from the fact that he couldn’t continue to expand his territory’s map and the growth of citizens had almost stopped, the development of the territory could be said to be thriving in other respects.

The construction within the city.

Since he had chosen the third city wall construction plan with the most considerable budget, the expansion and construction of Tianyuan Town had not stopped, and there were still many construction areas within the region defined by the city walls.

There needed to be more residential buildings constructed. It’s okay if they are empty for now, they would eventually be occupied.

In the core area of the territory.

The smithy had expanded multiple times and bought a lot of new equipment, making it look as though it was a massive factory with constant clanging noises.

The furnace fire burned, producing molten red-hot iron.

The chief forging master, Li Erniu, was shirtless on his upper body. He held a large hammer in one hand and a small hammer in the other, flailing both hammers, in frenzied motion that contained a wondrous harmony of sounds.

He looked at the dozens of enthusiastic forging apprentices beside him, who were also shirtless on the upper body.

“Boys! The municipal department has sent new orders, a total of two thousand sets of weapons and equipment!”

“Let’s get to work!”

“Roar! Roar! Roar!!!”*15

In the southern zone, the Holy Light Hospital.

In the director’s office, Lainey, whose robe could hardly conceal her ample figure, sat behind a simple office desk.

On the table, one scrolled scroll after another was laid out.

She concentrated, carefully injecting the power of holy light into the seal in her hand, and gently pressed this seal into the center of the blank scroll.

She, the seal, and the scroll maintained a delicate balance of power.

After a moment,

Lainey lifted the seal.

The bright white light bloomed rapidly on the scroll and then rapidly faded, leaving only a white, mysteriously intricate pattern engraved on it with faint power waves diffusing from it.

“Some power has dissipated, and the shelf life is far below the standard of six months, probably… probably only a month or so.”

“But it should be able to provide some level of protection to everyone, right?”

On the eastern side, in the Treeman Forest.

The Flower Fairies flitted around, and a few citizens who had been allowed to enter were picking the fruits growing in the forest.

Deep in the forest, towering trees took root, with tendrils hanging down from above.

At the end of each vine, there hung green flower buds that looked monstrously dense when they were closed.

Suddenly, one of the dark green buds slow bloomed and a ‘thump’ sounded as a dark green figure dropped down.

It seemed humanoid, its body covered in a sticky fluid, and its two arms could split open like petals.

“The first type of Treeman has been formed, cackle cackle cackle…”

An ancient voice echoed through the forest, representing another increment to the power of nature and peace.

In the north, the Ice Spirit Cold Pool.

Difu the Water Mirror Dragon was telling the naive Snow Girls about ancient stories.

In the west, the Skeleton Cemetery.

The Dragon Power Strongman, Uta, was sparring daily with the Frost Giant Dragon, Sario. To be more specific, he was being single-sidedly beaten up, but he enjoyed it nevertheless.

In the core, the Alchemy hut.

Isloa was leading a group of little apprentices, making potions.

In the south, the Academy.

Isloa was standing in front of the lecture platform, teaching the newcomers about the production of the simple Scroll of Magic.

At the outskirts of the south, the land area.

Isloa was walking on the barren landscape, looking around, planning for the future development in detail.

In the core, the City Lord’s Mansion.

Isloa was diligently working at her desk.

Everyone was working earnestly, which pleased Lord Shepherd greatly.

He was about to return to the City Lord’s Mansion to reduce some work pressure for Isloa when he received a message from Seventeen, who was far away in Shiling Town.

“A Legendary ceremony is about to be held?”

“Yes.”

Seventeen was looking at a fresh announcement in the Association and relayed, “A mighty warrior plans to upgrade into a Legend in Pan Shi City. This time, the upgrade process will be open to the public for observation and learning… ah yes, but viewing requires a ticket purchase, the price of a ticket is… one Soul Crystal per person.”

Mu Yuan:”…”

To be honest, he was a little bit tempted!

Becoming a Legend is not as simple as fulfilling the three major requirements, there is also a difficult and dangerous breakthrough process.

Even the Epic Life often fails to become a Legend.

Mu Yuan was certainly not ignorant about the breakthrough into becoming a Legend and the extraordinary qualities of the Legendary realm. He has also paid to watch video of other families’ breakthrough processes.

However,

Watching a video and witnessing the event personally are two entirely different experiences.

For those who are determined to breakthrough into the Legendary realm, this is even more the case. Observing from the sidelines not only allows for more detailed scrutiny, but also helps in understanding the changes in natural energies and elemental particles up close.

Moreover, it allows a glimpse into the demeanor of a Legend.

Mu Yuan was quite confident that Duo Lai or Dead Bone would become Legends in their first attempts, but being confident doesn’t prevent increasing chances of success.

After all, the ticket price is not expensive.

Let’s go!

He immediately called General Dead Bone back.

“Important business?”

Dead Bone was walking through the disaster area filled with red fog; he originally intended to decline the trip to Pan Shi City, but thought better of it, agreeing with the Lord’s perspective.

“Breaking through into the Legendary realm is quite difficult, and our accumulations are quite shallow. But as long as there is a chance to increase certainty by even a bit, we should grasp it.”

Dead Bone carefully retreated.

Traveling day and night, they finally returned to their Territory in the middle of the night on the second day.

It was somewhat late as the train to Pan Shi City was to depart the next morning.

“During the Red Fog Disaster Moon, there are monsters everywhere. The road from Shiling Town to Pan Shi City is not as smooth as before, so taking the train is the safest choice, and it’s more relaxed than flying by oneself.”

Of course, if they were not in time for the train, Mu Yuan would simply fly there himself.

That night, Mu Yuan took Dead Bone, Duo Lai, and a lucky Azure Bird along with one of Isloa’s incarnations to Shiling Town.

He did not bring many generals with him.

It was not because he couldn’t afford the ticket prices, but because the Territory needed enough strong warriors to stay behind.

“After all, Duo Lai and Dead Bone are most likely to be the first ones to become Legends from our side. Once other generals witness their breakthrough, they would have the experience.”

The trip from the Territory to Shiling Town was quite a familiar route for them.

It was not difficult.

They only encountered about a dozen fights on the way.

Mu Yuan arrived at Shiling Town at around four o’clock in the morning. After a brief rest at their base, they arrived at the southern train station near the city wall at eight o’clock the next morning.

There was a bustling crowd.

The train station of Shiling Town operated twice a day, and only stopped at Pan Shi City.

This train, more massive than those in real life and covered with thick grey-black armor, already stood on the platform.

Blood could be seen everywhere on the heavy armor of the train, some dried and some still flowing; the template at the front was even covered with countless pieces of monsters. A few workers were doing simple cleaning.

Many players who saw the armored train for the first time couldn’t help but swallow in trepidation.

The shock was beyond words.
