My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Ever since the Nine-Headed Thunder Flame Dragon erupted in the plains, the Featherman Queen realized that she had somewhat underestimated this human force.

Human Lords might be rash, but they are meticulous in their rashness.

A person both fierce and meticulous.

She couldn't help but put the human force on an equal footing with her own.

"Humans have a trump card that, if used properly, can even blast a Legendary Realm existence on the spot."

The Featherman nation also has its trump cards.

After all, they have a very long history and are the inheritors of the ancient and glorious Featherman Dynasty.

Even so, they can only struggle to survive amidst the gaps between various monster powers.

In the queen's view, it wouldn't be surprising if the Human Lord were to take advantage of the situation and annihilate the Kobold Tribe, or find a way to lay another ambush for a Jackal Man legend, or even sever an arm from the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.

Of course, in this process, human powerhouses might also fall into an ambush and be caught by the Fang of the Jackal Wolf's elite, meeting their demise on the spot… All these are normal possibilities that could occur.

But she never expected that the Human Lord would choose to occupy the Jackal Man Tribe at Wolf Head Mountain.

What was the Human Lord thinking?

Indeed, Wolf Head Mountain possesses rich mineral resources… The queen was very clear about this.

But these Vitality Forces were only capable of surviving in cracks and didn't have the capacity to occupy external treasure lands. Her Featherman nation was also in dire need of various mineral resources, and she coveted those mines, but did she dare to occupy them? She did not.

They could take down a Monster Tribe, but did not have the capability to defend a resource mine.

Once they occupied a mine, it would be akin to exposing themselves to the Fang of the Jackal Wolf's sight, putting themselves in a dangerous situation.

There would be no room for maneuver.

They would have no choice but to confront the Fang of the Jackal Wolf head-on.

Did human powers have the capacity to openly confront Monster Overlords? Of course not.

If the human forces were strong enough to confront and defeat Monster Overlords head-on, they wouldn't be so unknown, nor would they need to use a trump card to blast a Legendary Realm existence.

After all, such trump cards and foundations diminish with each use.

The queen truly didn't understand.

"Perhaps the Human Lord just wants to destructively mine resources and then make a quick withdrawal?"

…

"What we need to do is not to mine destructively, but to turn the entire Wolf Head Mountain into a frontline fortress. It will be both the number one mining area and our predetermined battlefield."

Soon, Dead Bone led a group of Elite Undead on an expedition.

They didn't move in a straight line but relied on the Concealing Pearl and Scrolls of Magic for cover, moving east for two hundred li first, then veering north. After several detours like this, the Elite Undead troops arrived in front of Wolf Head Mountain.

Once there, Dead Bone stored the Concealing Pearl in his storage equipment.

Before coming, Mu Yuan had used the Eye of Heaven to scout Wolf Head Mountain and found no traces of a Legendary Realm being.

However, over the past few days, the ownership of the Jackal Man Tribe on Wolf Head Mountain changed batch after batch.

First came a pack of Underworld Humans from an unknown location, who gathered above two to three thousand in number, repelled many competitors, and took over the entire tribe.

They began to dig holes and tunnels on the mountain and started mining the black iron and red copper ore.

These Underworld Humans even knew how to smelt ores and forge weapons.

Within just two days, many Underworld Human weapons were upgraded to those made from black iron ore, but then, they were defeated by a group of Lizard-men who came from the north.

The newly established Underworld Human Tribe declared extinction, and in their place, the Lizard People Tribe emerged.

"After investigation, there are over four hundred and twenty Lizard-men on Wolf Head Mountain, of which thirty are suspected to have Giant Dragon Bloodline. Their leader is a Dragon Blood Lizard Leader with a Red Dragon Bloodline."

Dead Bone conducted a stable reconnaissance and then flattened this group of Lizard-men.

Tianyuan Territory officially occupied this area.

…

Within the ruins of the Jackal Man Tribe, buildings collapsed, and corpses were strewn everywhere.

Just a few days ago, when they left the Jackal Man Tribe, they had cleaned up here, sweeping away the carcasses. But now, the smell of blood, decay, and all sorts of excrements were overwhelming, with pale red and yellow mists diffused in the air and earth, making people uncomfortable.

Lord Shepherd was not a delicate person, but he also did not want to wade into a land of filth.

Luckily, he had many capable Skeletons. The Skeletons were not bothered by the dirt, stench, or chaos and possessed boundless energy. To clean up the entire Wolf Head Mountain thoroughly for the construction of the frontline fortress, Mu Yuan pulled a large number of low-to-medium-intelligence Skeletons from his main force.

He fully utilized the advantages of the Skeleton horde.

Each of the Skeletons was an expert at work. Not willing to work? There were plenty of other Skeletons ready to step in. They even started to compete.

Only the intelligent Skeletons were assigned simple tasks; the old Skeletons who had awakened their self-consciousness were responsible for leading the Greenhand Skeletons and dealing with more complex tasks.

In just half a day, they had cleaned up Wolf Head Mountain decently.

Buildings here had been dismantled, with usable materials collected and stacked aside by the Skeletons;

The scattered corpses were also sorted – low-level carcasses were given to the Sacrificial Black Coffin, high-level carcasses were handed over to the transport team for delivery to the Soul Shrine; even a few rare ingredients were approved by Chef Dolai and preserved.

Tianyuan Territory fully embraced a spirit of thrift, not wasting (strike through) any monster carcasses.
