Chapter 471 The Soldiers and Generals of Tianyuan City (4K)
About the appointment as the commander of the warzone, Mu Yuan, of course, knew before the results were out.
It was precisely because he did not refuse that his nomination for commander officially appeared at the meeting.
"A commander of a warzone."
It's inconceivable that he didn't want to be the commander.
However, he had never entertained such a notion before.
He was just a small Lord of Xiaodeng, with very little experience, and in terms of combat power, he only had a dozen or so generals of the Heaven and Earth Realm. With numerous strong individuals emerging from the Tai Xuan Alliance, compared with the real giant lords, his own forces were very weak.
When Elder Qin told him that the organization intended for him to take command of the Shattered Island warzone, Mu Yuan couldn't help but be astonished.
"Me as the commander?"
"I'm battling Dragon Sleep Valley?"
Although he was astonished, he did not refuse, nor was he afraid.
Fear? Would that mean he wouldn't have to fight Dragon Sleep Valley?
He had already been fighting Dragon Sleep Valley.
His grudge with Dragon Sleep Valley could even be traced back to half a year ago.
Time and again, the peace of the Ten Directions Island Domain was disrupted by Dragon Sleep Valley. They were always forced to defend, and time and time again, their city was assaulted by the Monster Tide.
All he wanted was to lead a tranquil life.
"Commanding a warzone, uniting countless Pioneers, with the power of a Frontier Lord, this time, we must trim the claws of Dragon Sleep Valley!"
"But the pressing matter seems to be sticking to our old business..."
Defense!
The appointment has been issued, but he has to wait for the Alliance to officially confer authority before he is the commander of the warzone.
There is no difference between the authority of an acting commander and that of a commander.
The reason he is acting is directly related to his lack of experience; he still needs to fight one or two impressive battles.
Mu Yuan began pondering his next strategic move.
...
At this time,
Shattered Island warzone, the collapsed hollow area.
Defense lines are still being constructed, level by level.
According to the plans of the warzone staff, they would establish two defense circles in the hollow area, one small and one large.
With two big defense circles, there would not be another incident like last time when the Crimson Dragon forcibly broke through and invaded deep into our territory.
However, the first defense circle was not yet completed, not to mention the more peripheral one.
Today is the fourth day since the establishment of the Shattered Island warzone.
Over these days, monster tides have occasionally surged out from the collapsed hollows, but direct-line powerhouses from Dragon Sleep Valley have seldom launched raids.
Even though there are few raids, the warriors outside the defense line still dare not let their guard down, especially when the Monster Tide appears.
The defending soldiers, particularly the warriors at the Legendary Realm, cannot afford a moment of complacency and must always be on high alert. Perhaps, this is the tactic of Dragon Sleep Valley.
But once the defense line is built, and with sufficient early warning methods, they won't always have to use the human radar.
The construction of the defense line is swift, with Miracle Buildings rising from the ground, and one after another transport teams bringing war resources and weapons.
Thanks to the location of the Shattered Island defense zone—situated within the Alliance territory, there's no strategic depth and absolutely no margin for error, but the Shattered Island warzone does have some advantages as well as disadvantages.
It's much easier for the warzone to acquire resources than for the front-line Great War Zone.
The teams transporting supplies, apart from those organized by the Logistics Development Department, also include many lords, trade associations, and private mercenary groups taking on the task.
Some lords and trade associations also donate materials to the Shattered Island warzone.
The entire Shattered Island warzone visibly strengthens.
...
"Lord Zhou, we're almost at Red Mountain City now, the end of our mission,"
a transport team of over a hundred members was moving along a fairly smooth official road.
Leading the transport was a young lord.
A lord from the 62nd cohort to arrive in the Eternal World.
This batch produced many promising new talents. Apart from Tianyuan, there were Wangba, Huan Chao, Luo Xing, Da Ri... Promising new lords stood out during the parade ceremony.
"You are quite impressive too, so young and already at the Third-order Warlord level. If it weren't for the abundance of strong individuals in your cohort, Lord Zhou, you would definitely be one of the top bigwigs of your peers,"
the speaker was the owner of a small trading company.
Though Red Mountain City is located inland within the territory, the paths to it have become unsafe with the emergence of the Red Mist and subsequent waves of Monster Tides.
Your journey continues with empire
It is said that officials plan to build a railway from the local official city all the way to Red Mountain City, which will greatly facilitate transportation.
But until then, materials still need to be transported by manpower and pack animals.
It is precisely because the road is not so safe that several small territories and trading companies took advantage of Lord Zhou Qi's convoy to travel together to face monster attacks.
Indeed, if it were not for Lord Zhou Qi's protection, they would have suffered significant losses.
Lord Zhou, strong.
As an acquaintance of Zhou Qi, the owner of the trading company admired not only Zhou Qi's inexhaustible energy but also his humble origins.
"Is it true that Lord Tianyuan, like you, also came from a common background?"
the owner asked.
Zhou Qi replied, "Yes."
What he didn't mention was that Tianyuan was not only of a common background like him but also his fellow townsman.
From Baijiang City on Lanxing.
They had even undergone the new recruits' resource assessment together in the past.
He barely passed, while Tianyuan already shone brilliantly at the time.
"Now, Tianyuan has become a Frontier Lord,"
"I'm not yet qualified to join the Pioneer Group, but bringing supplies to Red Mountain City this time is also my contribution to the war effort."
"With the establishment of the Shattered Island warzone, will Tianyuan also be here?"
