"You'll get used to this kind of operation after a few runs with us," said Mu Yuan.
The covering hand swallowed hard and said, "But I've heard, I've heard that there are countless legendary creatures in the Shattered Isles, terrifying Crimson Dragons, and even existences more dreadful than the Crimson Dragons. I..."
"There are indeed such creatures," acknowledged Zhou Ran with understanding.
He rembered how afraid he had been during his first deep mission.
"Being afraid isn't sothing to be ashad of. I'm afraid too, which is why we must overco it," Zhou Ran paused before continuing, "The Shattered Isles are vast. A dozen Crimson Dragons scattered among them would be as inconspicuous as grains of rice. We won't easily run into a Crimson Dragon..."
Before he could finish, a terrifying dragon's might swept across the land.
It was as if they saw two scarlet disaster moons hanging high in the Azure Sky.
Those were the eyes of a Giant Dragon.
The reconnaissance squad, especially the young covering hand, had his pupils shrink suddenly, and his lips turned pale as he breathed heavily. Yet, his hands still clutched the grey treasure sphere tightly, never ceasing the energy output.
It seed like an eternity before the dragon's might had moved on.
The covering hand was soaked through, looking like he'd just been fished out of water.
"Gone? Is it gone?" he asked.
"It's gone, I told you it wouldn't find us," replied Zhou Ran, serenely lighting a cigarette.
He then took out a map, compass, and spacing tester for a brief adjustnt.
After a mont, he channeled his spiritual power into the Spirit Seed.
"Headquarters, headquarters, this is Yunlong Squad. We have spotted a Crimson Dragon around area C-16 and are preparing to scout in the direction it ca from. Report complete."
"Headquarters received, understood completely."
A strand of Spiritual Communication entered his mind.
Zhou Ran carefully stored the Spirit Seed, extinguished the nearly burnt-out cigarette butt, and disposed of it in the small storage ring designated for temporary trash.
"Damn, the Spirit Seed is really freaking convenient!" he exclaid.
...
In the Shattered Isles Warzone, at the Command Center.
Information Transmission and Summarization Departnt.
"Beep beep, Qingfeng Reconnaissance Squad has discovered a filth tributary and is investigating more concrete information."
"Beep beep, Liuyun Squad's position has been exposed, surrounded by several Legendary Realm creatures and has hidden within a damaged Secret Realm. Beep beep, a firefighting team led by General Ajun is already on their way."
"Beep beep..."
Inside the departnt, a green-haired girl with antennas on her head marveled in amazent.
"Isn't this ans of transmission too simple? Hey, has Tianyuan City always had such conveniences? Darn, I'm so envious," she complained.
She looked towards a short-haired, round-faced girl nearby.
This girl was responsible for communication and record-keeping in Tianyuan City.
Their positions were sowhat similar.
But the difference was like modern versus primitive communication, worlds apart.
Tianyuan City Orange considered for a mont, "It hasn't always been this convenient, I suppose."
After all, when she worked in the communications departnt of Tianyuan City, she usually handled the less convenient ans of ssage delivery.
The truly convenient and swift spiritual communication often didn't require going through the communications hub at all.
However, she did not ntion this.
...
The strategic value of Spiritual Communication was even more significant than the Pioneers and other strongn had imagined.
Gaining the most tily information;
Providing the most imdiate assistance;
Using the advantage of information to engage in sniping and ambush tactics against the enemy;
Communication was imnsely convenient, with no need for cumberso thods, no visible fluctuations. Even a recon squad on the run could easily send out distress ssages through a Spirit Seed.
The advantage of having information was well understood by all the strongn.
But prior to this, none of them had experienced such a convenient thod of information transmission.
They had all thought that Lord Tianyuan's Spirit Seeds must have their limitations. For instance, being prone to distortion from interference; or, that beyond a certain distance, communication would beco difficult; perhaps, the further the distance, the less information could be transmitted.
These assumptions were based on their general knowledge.
But the Spirit Seed did not adhere to common sense.
Many techniques in the Eternal World defied common sense, which was not entirely unreasonable.
After all...
"The Spirit Seed does not exist in isolation. The ntal Skynet constructed by our Tianyuan City legion is also the foundation of each and every one of these Spirit Seeds," explained Mu Yuan confidently, not daring to claim that there were no limits to the Spirit Seed's communication.
But for now, within the range of the Shattered Isles, even a bit of the Red Mist interference could not shake the Spiritual Communication in the slightest.
One day.
```
Two days.
Three days.
Ti passed.
Various reconnaissance squads continuously sent back intelligence, and occasionally, distress alarms for ergency rescues would sound.
The situation of the war was generally optimistic.
All the Frontier Lords, Frontier Generals, and their teams were also very effective.
These days,
the Reconnaissance Squad and Assault Squad of the Green Mountain Lord had discovered and exterminated four corruption branches,
while the Rain Dust Lord had discovered and eliminated two.
The Pan Shi City team had wiped out three corruption branches.
The Tianze City team had eradicated four.
In comparison, the Tianyuan City team had only exterminated three.
The main issue was the lack of experience.
Sophia's Black Crow had a wide range of vision, but she was not familiar with the corruption branches. Sotis she was deceived by the disguises created by Dragon Sleep Valley, wasting a lot of ti.
But even so,
"This ti, we were able to gain such a great advantage mainly because of Lord Tianyuan."
"Yes, without the Spiritual Seed of the Tianyuan Commander, not to ntion gaining a significant advantage, we might have suffered considerable losses."
"We all understand that it's not because the enemy is too weak, but because we repeatedly leverage our informational superiority to outnumber them, allowing us to achieve one victory after another in localized battles."
With enough localized victories accumulated, the balance will tilt.
They will ultimately achieve a great victory.
Thinking this, the Frontier Lords and Pioneer Group Leaders present showed a look of relief on their faces.
A lighthearted atmosphere perated the entire Battle Zone, until...
"What, Sword Lord Liushi is going to be transferred?!"
The news exploded overhead the Shattered Isles Warzone like thunder.
Many Pioneers were puzzled, stunned.
They needed to pursue their current victory.
However,
"The ssage is certain, a Battle Zone in the Agedness Great Domain is facing a major crisis and needs a top-tier strongman to preside. Right now, the most 'available' top-tier strongman from the Pioneer Group is General Liushi."
The Green Mountain Lord said helplessly, "This might also be related to our advantageous situation here; the higher-ups feel the importance of General Liushi here is not as big."
How could his importance not be big!
Sword Lord Liushi may not have made a move these days, but his presence alone represented a huge strategic value.
The strategic value of a top-tier strongman often lies in deterrence rather than the need to act.
Alas, the transfer order was an established fact.
From the beginning, General Liushi was not from the Shattered Isles Warzone. He was rely an ally, bound to leave sooner or later.
The Shattered Isles Warzone had only its stationed soldiers to rely on.
"Don't panic, we still have Lord Tianyuan and the advantage of being able to communicate instantly."
"We will continue the local warfare with Dragon Sleep Valley as per our previous plan."
The seasoned Pioneer strongn remained calm.
This composure soon stabilized the hearts of the people.
However,
"Beep, the reconnaissance team has encountered a renowned strongman from Dragon Sleep Valley, identified as 'Hunting Duke·Pupil Blade.'
"Beep, a second strongman from Dragon Sleep Valley has been spotted at the front line, identified as 'Hunting Duke·Heart Devourer.'
"Beep,..."
Urgent reports kept coming in one after another.
They still possessed the advantage of information, but facing a substantial gap in combat power, the informational advantage was hard to utilize.
Moreover...
"Not only is Sword Lord Liushi leaving and we're losing a powerful deterrent, making the enemy free of concerns, but the top-tier strongn now appearing from Dragon Sleep Valley are more than we expected... significantly more, by a lot!"
The Hunting Duke·Pupil Blade, for instance, was not previously in the Shattered Isles.
At least, he hadn't been seen in several previous wars.
The intelligence departnt was certain.
While ordinary Crimson Dragons might be hard to distinguish, Hunting Duke·Pupil Blade was a World-class strongman, notoriously fierce, with distinctive features, and he was long listed on the Taixuan Execution List.
They couldn't have failed to recognize him.
Whether Dragon Sleep Valley had been holding back or had just received reinforcents, Mu Yuan could not know.
He only knew a storm was coming again.
