Chapter 485: Chapter 322: Different Directions of Evolution, Destiny Star Weaver (4K)
```
It's not that the Lord's authority is feeble; it's just that his subordinates are too powerful.
While other lords were still figuring out how to increase the intimacy levels with their subordinates to maximize the effects of the Lord's Power, Mu Yuan's subordinates... their innate skills had already exceeded the upper limit of what the Lord's Power could utilize.
This Lord's Power, thumbs down.
On Wolf Head Mountain, hundreds of self-aware Skeleton Generals and Big Halberdiers, among others, were heaving and hoing as they mined black iron and red copper ores and transported them into nearby fourth-order warehouses.
Some troops were sourcing materials on the spot, cutting down trees and quarrying ordinary stone. These unranked materials were also shipped into storage warehouses in batches.
Mu Yuan didn't need to buy any materials from the outside, merely paying a little bit of Soul Sand was enough to construct one Arrow Tower after another.
"What a pity, Arrow Towers are single-target defense structures. If only I had the blueprint for an area-of-effect defense structure from Yongxing, that would be perfect, even ordinary-grade cannons would do."
He had already scouted that Fang of the Jackal Wolf was amassing a large force.
It wasn't just the armies of the various large tribes under their command but also numerous wild monsters summoned through special means.
This lord of Fang of the Jackal Wolf, while very strong, was also exceedingly cautious!
They were fully leveraging their advantage, bringing into play the numerical superiority of the monster power.
After all, legendary beings are not invincible.
…
"But how will they stop a legendary realm monster, along with countless Monster Tides and the Vitality Force?"
Inside the Featherman country, several elderly Feathermen sighed.
An old general who had dealt with monster power for over a century even adopted a pessimistic view, "Even without a legendary monster leading them, such a massive Monster Tide isn't something our Vitality Force can withstand head-on.
"I'm not being overly pessimistic. Put yourself in our shoes: without relying on the Secret Realm and only depending on the slight geographical advantage of Wolf Head Mountain, could we stop the Monster Tide?
"We couldn't!"
What he didn't say was that the Queen herself couldn't stop it either.
Even if the Queen could kill ten, twenty, thirty fourth-order Boss level monsters, it still wouldn't shake the Monster Tide.
How many monsters could she kill after exhausting all her strength?
If there were no legendary realm monsters present, their Queen could come and go as she pleased, but if she wanted to hold her ground, I'm afraid even the legendary being would be exhausted to death.
In the meeting room, there were also members of the Attack Faction among the Feathermen present.
They wanted to object, but upon reviewing the intelligence reports from the outside, they found themselves unable to find any reason to contradict after their throats bobbed for a long while.
"There are too many monsters."
"Is this the real outside world?"
Some young Feathermen murmured.
They had seen the images.
Monsters covered the mountainside, thundering through the forests; so vast that the end of the Monster Tide seemed invisible, and even the creatures flying in the sky blanketed the air, forming dark clouds drifting toward the distance.
These young Feathermen, in their twenties and thirties, who had never left home, had never witnessed such a scene!
For a moment, they were at a loss for words.
Their longing for the outside world, their ambition to reclaim their ancestral glory, were crushed bit by bit by this cruel reality.
"What about the human territories, are they still preparing for war?"
"Indeed, as allies, providing that human lord with some intelligence is the extent of what we're capable of. Yet even with this information, the human lords are still indifferent. It seems they really intend to face the monster overlord head-on in the Wolf Head Mountain region.
"What are they thinking?!"
When their Featherman Country had once confronted Fang of the Jackal Wolf head-on, they merely sought to ambush and kill the strong ones among the monster forces. Who would actively seek to face the Monster Tide? Are they out of their minds?!
...
"The Featherman Country indeed has some deep reserves; there are several monsters within that we haven't discovered yet."
After all, they were far away, and the wilderness was vast and boundless.
In the combat command center, Mu Yuan was arranging tactics, integrating intelligence provided by the Featherman Country.
He truly lacked area-of-effect defense structures, but that didn't mean he was without means to counter the monster waves. Rather, every single one of Tianyuan Territory's sitting generals had a wealth of experience in repelling Monster Tides.
From the Lord Trial to the Red Fog Disaster Moon, they had fought countless city defenses.
Of course, this defense would be somewhat different from the previous ones.
"For area attacks, many of Tianyuan's generals possess crucial abilities with extensive coverage, and also defensive weapons like the Thunder Flame Cannon."
"Not only that..."
At the base of the mountain, Tree Demon Granny was continuously transforming and creating Forest Guardians.
Other Tree Demons were also gathering Earth's Force from all directions, preparing for the battle.
At the top of the mountain, four Snow Country fortresses were lined up in an arc along the gentle slope side of Wolf Head Mountain, where one amplification core and defense weapon after another were being successively constructed.
Winter Snow Maiden excels in large-area damage and is among the top of High-order Magic Troop Types.
And now, his Snow Maiden Corps was steadily growing and had become the backbone of the territory.
The greatest advantage of his Tianyuan Territory was the presence of highly exceptional generals.
Many Fourth-order Strongmen had limited effectiveness in the face of the Monster Tide, but Tianyuan's generals were different.
The Epic Young General 'Fearless War Commander' and the Fearless Giant Mountain God Ranking could stand up to, even rout, the enemy's large-scale war machines.
