My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The gifts from the Goblin Prince were astonishingly substantial.

Mu Yuan wasn't too surprised.

After all, this was a figure from the Legendary Realm, the first legendary being their Tianyuan Territory had fought and defeated, holding extraordinary significance. Most importantly, the Goblin Prince was a high-ranking member of the Goblin Kingdom, carrying a portion of the kingdom's treasures on his person.

Even though most of those treasures were used to curry favors and exchange for specific precious items, they were still substantial for the impoverished Tianyuan Territory.

"One storage ring, two storage rings, three storage rings..."

Duo Lai counted carefully, pulling out a total of six.

Two of them were slightly damaged.

Perhaps, possibly, probably, inevitably... during the combat, some of the 'fragile' storage equipment had been destroyed, and their contents had scattered into the spatial currents.

The mere thought made a certain general feel so pained he couldn't breathe.

Lord Shepherd, however, was magnanimous. The primary aim of this ambush had been to eliminate the very unsafe variable that was the Goblin Prince and, at the same time, to truly test the power of the Legendary Realm.

Achieving both main objectives was the greatest gain.

The other gains weren't important... Bullshit!

Mu Yuan still hoped for more bounty.

Duo Lai opened the first storage item, and in an instant, a dazzling light soared, with Soul Crystals piled up before him like a small mountain. There were also numerous Cultivation Assistance Items displayed there.

'Notification: You have obtained 4000 Soul Crystals.'

'Notification: You have obtained a variety of basic materials ×4000.'

For a figure from the Legendary Realm carrying a share of the kingdom's wealth, 4000 Soul Crystals couldn't be considered too many.

However, the visual impact of these 4000 Soul Crystals piled together was indescribably striking, far surpassing the impact of a few high-order treasures.

This batch of Soul Crystals and basic materials had filled the Superior Grade storage ring to the brim.

That was the tangible feel of an abundance of Soul Crystals!

Sometimes, even for a strong being carrying great wealth while venturing out was not an easy task.

General Duo Lai rubbed his hands eagerly and with anticipation, yet the subsequent blind box openings resulted in rather disappointing treasures.

'Notification: You have obtained "Corrupted Goblin Wraith (Common)" ×2000.'

'Notification: You have obtained "Corrupted Goblin Wraith (Rare)" ×500.'

'Notification: You have obtained "Corrupted Blood of the Wild Beast (Rare)" ×500.'

'Notification: You have obtained "Corrupted Flesh and Blood Sapling (Rare)" ×500.'

'Notification: You have obtained "Corrupted Seed: Goblin Turret (Rare)" ×50.'

It was clear that these were strategic materials the Goblin Prince had hoarded in hopes of a resurgence.

And there were as many as 500 Rare Level Remnantsouls!

Do not look upon the many Great Lords who effortlessly assembled Complete Troop Legions numbering in the hundreds and thousands, because it was through years, decades, or even longer periods of accumulation that these Great Lords could amass hundreds of units of rare troops.

The Goblin Prince casually produced several hundred.

"Although I usually disdain goblins, as long as the quantity is sufficient and they're all free, I'm not very particular."

However, Mu Yuan couldn't use the Corrupted Remnant Souls. Forcibly recruiting them might contaminate his own Lord's Altar, and the recruited troops would be chaotic entities tainted by corruption.

Rubbish!

He couldn't bear to throw them away, so he had to keep them for now.

After all, these were precious Remnant Souls, and with the wonders of the Eternal World, who knows if there might come a day when he could find a tool or a building that allowed for the sacrifice of Remnant Souls to obtain treasures? Then, he would offer up the delectable Goblin Wraiths.

"There are also some untainted treasures, such as Rare and Excellence grade equipment. Some of these pieces are complete, some damaged. And there are various pieces of construction material, forging materials, and..."

And the most important item that the Goblin Prince had.

'Corrupted Lord's Heart (Heart of the Nest)'

'This Lord's Heart has been corrupted and cannot be used, but lords or heroes may use the Power of Purification to cleanse the Lord's Heart. This process requires the consumption of Soul Crystals.'

----

'Lord's Heart: A treasure that bears the core rules of the Eternal World.'

'(1) If used by a Lord, they can create a subsidiary territory in their chosen location, sharing all the Permanent Blueprints and special benefits with the main territory.'

'(2) If used by a non-Lord, they can advance to become a Lord, but must pass the Lord Trial.'

The Lord's Heart seemed to be one of the most precious treasures that could be produced in the Land of Two Realms. It also contained Rule's Power, but unlike other fragmented treasures, the Lord's Heart wouldn't dissipate over time.

It was the foundation for many miracles.

Recruiting miracles, constructing miracles, and advancing to miracles were all built on the foundation of the Miracle Territory.

"It seems the Goblin Prince had a way to use this Lord's Heart?"

Mu Yuan discovered that their greatest gain from this battle was this Lord's Heart along with the vast number of Soul Crystals and materials.

Such spoils were indeed quite substantial.

The Lord's Heart was a treasure that could not be bought with wealth or power. On the exchange platform of the Taixuan Covenant, it was consistently marked as 'out of stock.' Whenever one did appear, it was quickly exchanged by powerful Lords who had been single for thirty years.

The trouble is, Lord Shepherd currently had no use for it.

The Lord's Heart could be used to establish a subsidiary territory, but considering his current struggles to merely maintain Tianyuan Territory, thinking about creating a subsidiary territory seemed far too ambitious.
