My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Once the skeletons had nearly finished cleaning up Wolf Head Mountain, Duo Lai clapped his hands together, "Spell of water, torrential downpour!"

Boom—

The sky darkened suddenly, as gathering clouds veiled the sky above Wolf Head Mountain, with arcs of lightning crackling through them. Within seconds, large droplets began to fall, swiftly turning into a heavy downpour.

The torrential rain covered the sky and the earth, enveloping Wolf Head Mountain and the surrounding territories within its grasp.

The world seemed to be painted pure white, as the veil of rain washed over the land, cleansing it of all the filth and scabs of blood, sweeping away the ominous presence that had pervaded it.

Half an hour later, the rain ceased, and the warm sunshine pierced through the clouds to drench the earth below.

Wolf Head Mountain welcomed its rebirth.

Duo Lai, suspended in midair, looked around and couldn't help nodding, "That's my doing~"

The might of a legend was indeed imposing; it easily influenced a vast territory, and with every gesture, one commanded the great forces of heaven and earth. And this downpour engulfing both inside and outside of Wolf Head Mountain was far from Duo Lai's limit. After all, water techniques were not his speciality.

With Wolf Head Mountain considerably cleaner, Mu Yuan began the major construction of the base.

He had previously built an outpost in the Land of the Temple, but at that time, the construction was very rudimentary, and they lacked the ability to hold the outpost during the Red Fog Disaster Moon period.

In fact, most lords, even great lords, wouldn't seriously undertake the construction of outposts.

Firstly, they lack treasures like the Lord's Heart or lookout towers, high-grade lookout towers; secondly, not all lords have the strength to defend these external bases.

Most lords with mineral resources would choose to establish simple outposts for mining during peacetime, recalling all miners and soldiers back when disaster months arrive, thus abandoning the outposts.

This was the situation within the Tai Xuan Alliance territories during peaceful times.

If a lord is situated in the wilderness, at the borders, or in neutral zones like him, establishing an external outpost becomes even more difficult. However, a lord in chaotic regions who wishes to mine minerals and build mining areas must establish a base that possesses real defensive power, capable of withstanding strong enemies.

Otherwise, the rudimentary mining areas could be destroyed by external forces at any moment, and the miners would be killed.

The monster power was similarly situated.

Only overlord powers like Fang of the Jackal Wolf dared to extend their territories, seizing one valuable land after another, mining minerals, and collecting resources.

Tianyuan Territory didn't quite qualify.

But Tianyuan Territory didn't possess the ability to avoid the world like Featherman Kingdom, and he didn't wish to keep hiding. Since Jackal Men Overlord was inevitably going to discover them someday, why not turn defense into offense?

He already had the legendary General Duo Lai!

Launching a war on Wolf Head Mountain was beneficial for several reasons.

First, they could still keep a retreat path open; second, his generals didn't need to protect the rear and could fight with all their might; third, if they were at a disadvantage, Lord Shepherd could simply squeeze a few Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragons and drop them right above Wolf Head Mountain.

This was a last resort move.

Mu Yuan also conducted some tactical drills.

At least on Wolf Head Mountain, he still had the possibility to cast large-scale magic. Outside his own territory, it was nearly impossible.

Atop the mountain, Mu Yuan surveyed the surroundings and decided on the heart of the base.

He took out the Miracle Blueprints for the 'Advanced Lookout Tower', and Duo Lai pulled out a large batch of construction materials from the Dimensional Pocket, already prepared.

The old skeleton builders swarmed in and began the clinking and clanging of construction.

In just a few hours, the 'Advanced Lookout Tower', an Excellece Building, stood on a mid-mountain platform of Wolf Head Mountain.

The lookout tower was over thirty meters tall, wide at the top and bottom but narrow in the middle, spiraling upwards in its design. At its peak, concentric rings spread invisible ripples that scanned the surroundings.

This was an inherent ability of the Advanced Lookout Tower, possessing scanning, anti-invisibility, and other alert capabilities.

When the Advanced Lookout Tower was completed, a map of the territory unfurled over the area, dispelling the fog of war. From now on, Mu Yuan could undertake Lord's Vision to overlook his surroundings and could also build various types of Miracle Buildings within this range.

"The coverage area of the level four Advanced Lookout Tower is roughly… the size of a level one territory, the area isn't large, but it's sufficient for our needs."

He didn't need to cover the entire territory with mining fields, just the shooting range of defensive buildings to extend into the surrounding regions would suffice.

Mu Yuan started arranging the construction projects.

With a grand gesture, the 3D blueprints for 30 Arrow Towers manifested one by one, neatly arranged, followed by ten more magnificent Thunder Magnetic Coil Towers, and segments of the Black Rock City Wall illusion.

This is the advantage of having permanent buildings!

As long as the materials were sufficient, he could construct as many Miracle Buildings as he wanted.

"It's a pity that the level of my Tianyuan Territory is still too low. If only it were level seven, just relying on defense constructions would be enough to repel or even kill those in the Legendary Realm," he lamented.

Defense buildings of level seven Excellence could threaten even Legendaries!

Therefore, the status of a Great Lord was not lower than that of a solitary Legendary, and it was even higher. After all, the wealth a Great Lord commanded far surpassed that of an independent Legendary.

Mu Yuan, together with Dead Bone and Lu Liu, was planning the defensive line for Wolf Head Mountain.

The territory here was after all quite small, and the line of sight for the Lord/Hero's Vision wasn't far enough; they had to ascend to the mountain peak to look out. Mu Yuan was ready to open the Eye of Heaven for observation when he suddenly discovered...

"The survey range of the Eye of Heaven has extended?!"

There were two ways to use the scouting Eye of Heaven.

One could observe from an ultra-long distance but consumed an "Eye of Heaven," which recovered only one per day with a cap of three.

The other did not require spending an "Eye of Heaven," but its observation range was limited to within a sixty-kilometer radius of the territory.

Now, the latter's usage scope had extended, allowing it to be used not only around the territory but also around advanced lookout towers.

The Miracle Territory was the anchor point, allowing the Staff of Divine Right to extend its Great Force.

As expected of an Epic construction!

"The range of the Eye of Heaven that doesn't limit the number of openings is not as large as in the main territory, confined only to ten kilometers around the lookout tower, but..."

Yet the intrinsic observation range of the Eye of Heaven spanned a full twenty kilometers in every direction.

To say nothing of moving ten kilometers to the east, west, south, or north, even if it could only be positioned near the lookout tower, that was more than sufficient.

"Now that the Energy Well is also constructed, I can maintain the 'Normal State Eye of Heaven' 24 hours a day to guard against any sneak attacks by the Legendary Jackal Man."

"Not only that, now that I have an Eye of Heaven detection area that I can maintain for a long time, it will be much more straightforward and easier when I want to conduct large-scale magic in the future."

Thus, his confidence in taking a head-on confrontation with the Jackal Man Overlord Power rose a bit more.

...

As days passed by, the Fang of the Jackal Man located in the unknown lands to the north seemed to make no move.

Even under the observation of Mu Yuan, the Kobold Tribe remained utterly peaceful, with no appearances of any Legendary beings.

However,

The Domain Interferer buzzed and operated from time to time.

The scouting Juns and ghosts also noticed some unusual traces.

"Four hundred kilometers to the north, there is another large Jackal Man tribe that seems to be one of the claws of the Fang of the Jackal Man," Mu Yuan discovered while using the Eye of Heaven to scout the area. Although he identified no presence of Legendaries, he saw that the tribe was preparing for war, with war machines emerging from the Blood Pond.

At this time, the construction of the main body of Base One was almost completed.

Duo Lai went back and forth between the two places, bringing in Thunder Flame Cannons one after another, and setting them up on the city walls and fortresses.

The transport team also occasionally sent the mined minerals back to the territory.

Meanwhile,

The first trade between the Tianyuan Territory and the Featherman Kingdom commenced, with the trade taking place at the foot of Wolf Head Mountain. Mu Yuan did not wish to and could not afford to expose the coordinates of his own Tianyuan Territory.

The young Feathermen, looking at the walls and high towers that were indistinct among the clouds, were filled with surging emotions.

They, too, wished to boldly step out of the safety zones and expand their territory like human forces!

They, too, had the courage to confront the monsters.

But the older Feathermen, who had lived through the calamity that befell their kingdom decades ago, looked gravely somber as though they could glimpse the future—a future where countless human warriors fell in battle and Wolf Head Mountain was leveled to the ground.

They too had been so ambitious back then.
