Chapter 704: Chapter 406: The Legendary Gate (4K)
"Lord, the losses have been tallied up. We suffered the deaths of nine warriors in last night's battle, with an additional forty-seven injured. We lost thirty-seven ordinary level defense structures and sixteen rare level defense structures, totalling approximately..."
However, of the nine fallen elites, eight were of the Undead system and did not need to be reshaped in the Hall of Martial Souls.
Mu Yuan simply made the rounds himself, inspecting the situation in the various mining areas while using Undead Revival to bring back the souls of the slain Undead from the netherworld.
The losses mainly occurred in a few areas that did not have Division Generals of T1 level from Tianyuan City to lead them.
In the medium-sized Soul Sand Mine furthest from Tianyuan City, thanks to the presence of Uta and Sario, the damage was minimal even though there was an attack by Legendary Realm creatures.
One reason was that the Legendary Realm creature kept its distance, attacking from afar without engaging in real combat... It seemed to have some recognition of Uta.
Secondly, Uta and Sario are sufficiently strong. Whenever any elite in any area encountered an unexpected attack, they were able to rescue them in time.
Places like the Soul Shrine encampment lacked Division Generals of T1 level from Tianyuan City. Bai Li and Bone Forty-Four are stronger than Leader level monsters, but not overwhelmingly so.
They often couldn't rescue in time.
They also lacked that level of awareness.
However, after going through several battles, the abilities of these elites—their command capabilities, battle awareness, adaptability, and so on—would all rapidly improve.
Mu Yuan considered the enemy's attacks as a way to sharpen his own elites.
Military kinds with budding wisdom can advance their intelligence faster through such trials, and only those truly self-aware can make real gains from such experiences.
Chapter Find:
Compared to the mines of Tianyuan City, it was actually the Featherman Tribe and the Cat People Tribe's mines that suffered more damage last night.
One of the mines managed by the Featherman was even attacked by a Legendary Realm monster.
But Duo Lai's reinforcements arrived in time.
Although both sites sustained significant damage and many elites were killed along with miners caught in the crossfire, the losses were still lower than what they had estimated.
It was something they could bear.
"If we want to carve out more living space for ourselves, we...can't avoid necessary sacrifices! Think about it, how many powerful beings from the Monster power did we kill last night! We killed more high-order monsters in this one battle than we have over the past ten years!"
A young, injured Featherman warrior shouted hoarsely.
What they were defending was not just a mining area, but the determination to expand and explore outward.
The Giant Ridge and Natural Garden next door were also attacked at the same time, but they were not the main targets. Both powers conveyed messages that they were fine and asked if Tianyuan City needed support.
The Elves and Giants need not worry.
For Monster Overlord Power, organizing an assault of this scale is not an easy task.
After all, the number of high-order monsters that died last night ranged in the hundreds to thousands.
Many high-order monsters are born directly from the Red Mist, emerging from the Nest of Filth. They are truly expendable, mere cannon fodder in the eyes of the Legendary Realm, but even Monster Overlords cannot continuously bring forth such large numbers of high-order monsters.
"In the short term, the enemy can only command ordinary monsters to carry out a war of attrition."
"Another point, among the Legendary Realm monsters that showed up last night, there were only a handful, but there are definitely far more in hiding or aiding and interfering from the shadows."
A Legendary Realm being interfered with Isloa's astral observations.
Another Legendary Realm used special methods to cover the raid teams as they crossed the wilderness.
Otherwise, even with the vastness of the wilderness, Tianyuan City's intelligence network not yet fully deployed, and the lack of enough wild outposts and scout posts... even with these deficiencies, the enemy wouldn't be able to attack the outposts silently.
We must be cautious with Monster Overlord Power, and not drop our guard just because a minor power like Fang of the Jackal Wolf has been extinguished.
Last night's battle also brought significant gains for Mu Yuan.
They harvested a number of ordinary level and rare level Remnant Souls.
But these were just incidental.
The main gains came from the Soul Shrine.
"The Soul Shrine can harvest the souls of freshly dead corpses and create one Remnant Soul after another."
However, there are two limitations to the Soul Shrine.
The corpse's predecessor must be a monster that had the dawn of wisdom;
The corpse must not have been dead for too long.
Through testing, Mu Yuan found that the death time had to be within three hours. Beyond this limit, the Soul Points that the shrine could obtain would be significantly reduced. If it exceeded six hours, there would hardly be any energy to harvest.
The 'Battle of Wolf Felling' spoils were simply wasted previously.
The Wolf Fang Lair was too far from the Soul Shrine, and by the time the bodies were transported, they were already cold.
Last night's battle was different.
The battle outside the Soul Shrine ensured all the corpses were fresh and could be directly thrown into the incineration shrine.
The battles at various mines mostly weren't too far from Tianyuan City. For the mining areas closer to the northern territories, which were relatively distant, Mu Yuan simply gave up on them.
They truly did not have the capacity to keep them all.
Choices had to be made.
"Last night we recruited 20 Treemen, 10 Elite Musketeers, 10 Ice Spirits, and in addition, 6000 other ordinary one-star level creatures."
In fact, in his opinion, creating 'random ordinary Remnant Souls' at the Soul Shrine was the most cost-effective, especially after the Evolutionary Miracle upgrade.
