...
This batch of supplies was substantial and couldn't be transported through the Starry Sky Gate.
They had to make the long haul the honest way.
Leaving Pan Shi City, Rakshasa and Xie Yi boarded the Steel Train heading north, reaching the final stop at Shiling City Station.
There, they continued northward in the vehicles the rchant association had already prepared, journeying through the vast wilderness.
Such a convoy, around Shiling City, wasn't conspicuous — save for its guards who appeared sowhat stronger, better equipped, and more imposing.
But if soone paid close attention, they might guess that this convoy was transporting a batch of critically important materials.
"Never underestimate the intelligence of monsters; usually, they just prefer to use brute force, but if that fails, they'll definitely start using their brains."
"In the battle zone, there are lurking monsters like the Faceless Ones and Heart Eaters that infiltrate our base camps."
"Even within the Tai Xuan Territory, the hinterlands, and even the Capital City, it's possible that there are spies for the Overlord Power. These spies might not necessarily be monsters like the Faceless Ones — they're too conspicuous. They might be ordinary people or professionals whose minds have been corrupted, though we can't rule out uncorrupted individuals willing to act as pawns for the monsters."
With such a large human population, any sort of person might erge.
So even embrace the filthy forever-life, believing that monster transformation is cool and can grant them power.
These are often those who have never been on the front lines or even fought against monsters.
All this was a reminder from General Chen.
His Sky Patrol Battle Zone had a wide area of responsibility, and he likely had to deal frequently with various cities and territories; one must always be wary. Once his whereabouts were leaked, it wasn't impossible to be ambushed by a group of legendary monsters.
Now, if enemies were constantly monitoring the movents in Tianyuan City, this small transport squad could be their target.
Was there anyone out there...?
"Duo Lai certainly hoped there would be."
Munching on a bun after bun, he couldn't help muttering.
This batch of supplies was very important; Mu Yuan, of course, wouldn't have just Rakshasa and Xie Yi responsible for it, despite both being quite formidable combatants capable of handling the Soul Realm without issues.
Mu Yuan had dispatched General Duo Lai.
General Duo Lai could use the Dinsional Pocket to collect all the supplies at once.
He didn't do this; that was Mu Yuan's request.
Beside Duo Lai, Division General Sophia, with eyes closed, was manipulating the crows outside.
One hour,
Several hours,
The sky gradually lightened.
The transport convoy entered the Ten Directions Island Domain[,] reaching the territory near Tianyuan City, and had encountered no disaster.
The tuft of hair on Duo Lai's forehead drooped down, very disappointed.
"There were no enemies?"
"Not necessarily," Sophia said. "I did find a slight trace, but the hidden enemy is very cautious. They were just observing and had no intention of attacking. Even their observation was done through many lower-level monsters. I also spent a long ti watching those lesser monsters, but I couldn't track down the controlling legendary force."
Duo Lai: "(*￣︿￣)"
Could it really be like this? Damn! He noted this grudge!
Sophia also looked grave.
This hidden enemy was undoubtedly a formidable foe!
...
Twilight Domain.
In a certain place outside the Tai Xuan Territory, two small-bodied legendary creatures were hiding in the deep mountains, muttering to each other.
"Is what we're doing appropriate? Weren't we supposed to ambush the transport squad heading to Tianyuan City?"
"Ambush? With what shall we ambush? We are just two wee creatures at the peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm; we need to know our limits!"
The big-headed monster said, "Do you know who's escorting the transport squad? It's the 'Evil General' from Tianyuan City, soone who could flay and debone us monsters alive! Without the Duke of Hunting leading, we would just be delivering ourselves to defeat!"
"That other Tianyuan legend might not seem much at first glance, but he's also defeated a Flesh Giant Dragon, and his combat power exceeds ours. Tell , should we still fight?"
The other legend kept shaking his head.
He hesitated but still asked, "But big brother, shouldn't we at least try to get close and scout out the situation? Otherwise, how are we going to explain ourselves to the Grand Duke?"
What are they doing now?
They have outsourced the task through layers to the intelligence monsters in this region. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Not only that, after handing off the task, the big brother had completely severed all outside contact.
He also had no plans to re-establish contact.
Isn't doing this a bit unprofessional?
The big-headed monster grunted, "Just make up so stories when the ti cos, that will be enough to get by. Little brother, this is what we call the wisdom of survival."
...
Inside Tianyuan City.
Mu Yuan activated this batch of war supplies using his own spiritual imprint.
One by one, the dinsional boxes opened, revealing the valuable items inside.
"Two white base purple cloud robes."
Mu Yuan took them out and shook them.
These Quasi-Epic Treasures could be big or small and could also transform into invisible objects to attach to oneself.
No matter if it was ordinary humans or a Frost Giant Dragon like Sario, they could use them without restriction.
After all, Quasi-Epic Treasures could hardly be considered inconvenient.
He took out the Heavenly Patrol Banner and registered it for use.
He then took out another extrely important treasure.
"Heavenly Patrol Mirror"
"Grade: Quasi-Epic"
"Category: Special utility item"
This treasure connected to the core system of the Pioneer Group, enabling access to a plethora of information.
The current situation; dangerous areas; tasks available for claiming, etc., were all displayed on it.
This Heavenly Patrol Mirror even possessed a 'group chat' feature, allowing communication across domains with other Heavenly Patrol Mirror holders.
Though it was not on par with his Spirit Seed, this was still a top-notch communication tool.
"Beep~"
"You have logged in, welco to use the Heavenly Patrol System."
On the mirror's surface, the vast map of the Taixuan Alliance·Twilight Domain slowly unfolded.
The map only displayed the Alliance territory; beyond that was a murky haze.
However, even just within the Alliance territory, many areas were marked with light red or deep red.
Light red represents high-risk areas with large numbers of Fourth-order Bosses and even Legendary Realm monsters active.
The deep red markings, on the other hand, indicate Extre Danger Zones with extrely terrifying creatures present in these areas.
"So many Extre Danger Zones?"
"Not only that..."
On the map, around military strongholds such as Shiling City and Liujiang City, several territories were already marked with red crosses, shocking to the eye.
Xingrong Town, an official stronghold close to Shiling City, had also fallen.
Mu Yuan might not feel much for other places, but these areas around Shiling City were also where they had once lived.
The forr Tianyuan Territory, now marked with an eye-catching deep red.
The data showed that this area and several surrounding areas had a fearso creature active nad the 'Deep Red Double-Headed Dragon.'
The Deep Red Double-Headed Dragon was the pri culprit behind Xingrong Town's fall, being assessed as likely at the Peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm or the Soul Realm.
The Deep Red Double-Headed Dragon had not shown itself for several days, as if it had completely disappeared.
But various traces indicated that this terrifying creature was still active, still a trendous threat.
"In the Pioneer Group's system, the extermination task for the Deep Red Double-Headed Dragon isn't as urgent as the rescue missions in battlefield areas or major cities, but it's also imminent."
Currently, in various places of the Alliance, there are not so many urgent battlefield areas or defense lines, thus the focus has shifted to eliminating these big Bosses.
However...
"There are so many."
"Just in the Twilight Domain, there are quite a few creatures suspected to be at the Soul Realm."
The Soul Realm! They are the strong among the strong.
Apart from the battle zones and a very few top territories in the entire Taixuan, where else could one find Soul Realm beings?
Even Pan Shi City does not have a Soul Realm presence.
"No wonder it's necessary to concentrate forces and establish the Sky Patrol Battle Zone."
"Even in Tianyuan City, the number of beings that can securely subdue a Soul Realm creature are few and far between."
"What's more, these marked, already apparent Bosses are among the 'foolish' of the Legendary monsters."
He could not rule out the possibility that there were smarter, better-hidden formidable enemies on this land.
He needed more powerful forces.
Mu Yuan opened the panel and started pondering the team arrangents for his Division Generals.
