Chapter 456: Chapter 309: The Conquest Battle (4K)
Two days later, in Tianyuan Territory.
Mu Yuan received a message from the scouting team.
Ever since the assassination of the Goblin Prince and the subsequent stabilization of the region, Lord Shepherd had changed his strategy—he reactivated several scouting squads, aiming to keep a tight grip on the movements of the Jackal Man and other tribes. For this purpose, he was willing to sacrifice a bit of concealment.
“Today, numerous Jackal Man patrol teams left Tribe One, seemingly in search of something.”
Mu Yuan pondered.
If the Jackal Man tribes were to search southwards in a sweeping manner, it would only be a matter of time before they discovered Tianyuan Territory.
But even when he ambushed the Goblin Prince, he had anticipated such a turn of events.
“Prepare for war.”
“Aooooh~!” “Damn it!” “For Tianyuan!”
Sario, ‘Bone Two’, Uta, and others, a group of belligerent commanders howled with battle lust.
But Lord Shepherd said, “Wait two more days.”
Sario: “…Ao?”
Mu Yuan decided to wait two days, one was to delay as much as possible, gaining a day if possible, and the other was to prepare for war.
“Although the Jackal Man tribes are nothing but watchdogs and pawns left outside by the Overlord Powers, we do not know what lies within them. It is not impossible that we could encounter a legend. We must go all out.”
In the meantime, Mu Yuan went to the Human Race army camp and summoned two Dragon Force Swordsmen who had performed excellently, endowing them with Evo-power.
They soon evolved into Epic One-star Lives, ‘Giant Dragon Swordsmen’.
They possessed physiques comparable to Giant Dragons and could even transform into the form of a dragon to unleash devastating Dragon Breath when necessary.
“Lord, there’s a message from the Secret Realm. A Lord is offering to trade the remains of an ‘Epic Level’ life form, the remnants of a ‘Purgatory Flame Demon’.”
Xi Liu, who was stationed in Elf’s Courtyard, came rushing out, “They are specifically asking to exchange for the ‘Rocky Giant’ Remnant Soul.”
The remains of the Purgatory Flame Demon, if unexceptional, would have had the most valuable materials stripped from it already, greatly reducing its worth.
Mu Yuan didn’t mind.
If it were a complete Epic carcass, it would be too difficult for him to acquire, and the value would be much higher.
To him, the remnants were just right.
He looked at Xi Liu, “Tell them we can make the trade.”
Xi Liu saluted, “Alrighty.” Then she added, “Lord, I would like to join tomorrow’s battle as well.”
Fine then.
…
The next day, within Tianyuan Territory, Mu Yuan was mustering the troops.
“The key to this operation is speed. Our plan is as follows… this way… and this way…”
Tianyuan Territory would deploy two forces; one led by commanders to infiltrate the Jackal Man tribe and directly assassinate its leader.
The other, led by the main forces, would eliminate as many Jackal Man warriors as possible.
That was the rough tactic.
The specific tactics could be adjusted in 128 different ways according to the actual situation.
At the same time, in the Featherman Nation.
The Queen furrowed her brow, “The Jackal Man tribes have been acting strangely recently? Could it be related to that Human Lord? Regardless, scout further and keep a close watch on the Jackal Man tribes’ movements.”
“Also, don’t underestimate this Jackal Man tribe. One of the Overlord Powers originated from the Jackal Man, and this tribe has received much support from them, with many strong individuals within. Without my personal intervention, it would be difficult for our Featherman Nation to take down this Jackal Man tribe without significant losses,” she mused.
Several strong Feather Court Guards swallowed hard, and after a long pause, muttered in agreement, “Understood, we will keep this in mind.”
…
…
At dawn’s first light, with the fog clear and bright,
the citizens of Tianyuan Town gradually arose from their beds to start a new day.
In the northern part of the territory, at the wide-open North City Gate, two well-equipped and battle-hardened legions were slowly marching out—the Undead Legion and the Human Race Legion.
To this day, the size of the Undead Legion had expanded to 800, mainly comprised of Skeleton Morticians and Evil Spirits. The Human Race Legion also grew to a strength of 650, its combined power having multiplied countless times over.
Mu Yuan stood at the forefront of the troops.
By his side were General Dead Bone, General Duo Lai, Uta, Xi Liu, Hong Yi, and other powerhouses.
The battle plan had been simulated many times, and the troops had been ready for the past two days. Now, no further words were needed, and with a grand wave of his hand, he commanded, “Move out.”
Silently and swiftly, the elites vanished into the forest and mist, leaving only the rustling wind behind.
Leading the conquest legions were several small teams with rich exploration experience and high levels and ranks—Skeleton Warriors Team, Ghost General Team.
Whoosh~
A Ghost General, looking no different from a human, leaped rapidly through the treetops without leaving any trace or stirring a breeze. He was a ghost.
Suddenly, he halted and used the Spiritual Link network to send a signal with his mind.
‘Enemy, small squad, elite.’
Through the leaves, one could see a team of about a dozen or so Jackal Men, moving along casually.
They seemed lax in discipline, which was typical for monsters.
This Ghost General, who had taken general education classes, recognized the Jackal Man leading the group. It wore a fine leather jacket with two feathers protruding from its helmet.
It was a monster sub-leader.
Either it was at the peak of the second-order or it had already stepped into the third-order.
The Ghost General could not determine the enemy’s exact level through observation and perception, but with the help of teammates, he soon noticed several Jackal Man prowlers moving in a more covert manner.
