My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 1175 - 604: World Situation, Awarding Honors (4K)_2
Mu Yuan flipped through the Pioneer Group's newspaper.
He stroked his chin, "One of the Seven Great Countries, 'Wan Shang Country,' has also vaguely discovered signs that their neighboring top-level Monster Overlord, Shadow King City, desires to unleash a disaster similar to Dragon Sleep Valley."
They had penetrated deep into the Red Mist Land, shattering the Polluted Core, a campaign that after all involved several nations and forces.
The broad details of their campaign certainly couldn't be concealed from the investigative Great Nation-level Forces.
Wan Shang Country thus joined forces with the Shen Mu Dynasty, wishing to adopt similar combat strategies.
However, they failed.
Three Principle Realm strongmen lost their lives in the Red Mist Land, and a group of God Soul Realm individuals even truly perished, unable to resurrect.
Mu Yuan examined the intelligence in his hands and combined it with some rumors that Tianyuan City had gathered on its own, beginning to ponder.
"Dragon Sleep Valley suffered heavy losses, and as a top Overlord, the strong monsters of Shadow King City would naturally have their guard up; utilizing similar tactics again wouldn't be so easy."
"More importantly..."
First, the forces that Wan Shang Country and the Shen Mu Dynasty brought out were rather stingy, not one of the three Law Realm individuals was a Peak Strongman.
One must know, both Sword Lord Liushi and True Flame Principal are at the Peak of the Principle Realm.
The former is also a top-tier force within the Peak of the Principle Realm.
The latter, with profound knowledge and numerous methods, plays a role far superior to the average Law Realm practitioners.
Wan Shang Country and Shen Mu Dynasty's nerve just isn't quite there.
Of course,
"Secondly, Wan Shang Country is unaware of the exact location of the enemy's Polluted Core, and even if they had the nerve and enough top-caliber strongmen to act, it's doubtful they could achieve their strategic goals."
It's just very difficult, not impossible.
In the Eternal World, there are many grand methods available, and for deeply-rooted nations like Wan Shang Country and Shen Mu Dynasty, if they are willing to pay a huge price with determination, Mu Yuan believes they have the chance to acquire key information through methods like astrology, deduction, and prophecy.
Even if both countries lack strategic powerhouses like Duo Lai and Jun, they are still capable of achieving tactical objectives like 'blocking the Red Mist' and 'swift retreat.'
After all,
Compared to their initial foray into the Red Mist Land, where they faced great risks without guaranteed return, Wan Shang Country and Shen Mu Dynasty now at least possess sufficient intelligence, clear about the conditions needed to achieve their goals.
At that time, besides an intelligence map, they were virtually blind!
"In the final analysis, Wan Shang Country and the Shen Mu Dynasty still lack enough nerve."
"Um, of course, it may also be that both nations have their own considerations, believing that setting up defenses is more reliable and certain than launching raids deep into the Red Mist Land?"
Mu Yuan assessed the international situation.
Indeed, both nations are defensively poised.
With the 'disaster signal' of Dragon Sleep Valley as a precedent, the Tai Xuan Alliance also conducted more in-depth probing and reconnaissance of several neighboring top-level Overlord Powers.
The other Great Nations did more or less the same.
According to investigations, each top-level Overlord power showed slight movements, but nothing as evident as Dragon Sleep Valley or Shadow King City.
In the past month, the frequency of wars erupting in the various frontline Great War Zones even saw a noticeable decline.
The pattern was the same with powerful monsters that intruded into national borders and the heartland of living beings.
"After all, powerful monsters are not fools; after a series batch after batch foolishly perishing on the lands of living being civilizations, those that remain are more cautious creatures, unlikely to easily step into Great Nation territories."
"Another point is that without a major tide stirred up by the top-level Monster Overlords, it's also not so easy for powerful monsters to cross line after line of defense and penetrate deeply into civilized lands."
Since the appearance of the Sky Rift disaster, the frequently beleaguered Eternal World gradually welcomed a rare period of tranquility.
Fewer Fleeing Monsters, fewer monster tides.
No new disasters emerged.
Many affected areas began reconstruction efforts.
But,
"This is just a brief calm before the storm."
...
The following day,
"Hum~!"
Mu Yuan stepped through the Starry Sky Gate and arrived at Xuan Du in the Taixuan Realm.
Today, within the Nine-Color Tower in Xuan Du, a Frontier Lord conferment ceremony was to be held.
In the Pioneer Group, one- and two-star are ordinary Frontier Lords, while those above the Three-star level are the backbone, the powerful Lords of various realms and lands.
The higher the Starry Sky Ranking of the Pioneer Lord, the greater their authority, allowing them to command Battle Zones and exchange for top-tier treasures.
If one reaches the Seven-Star Level Exploration General, they become a union heavyweight capable of commanding a Great War Zone and influencing the decisions of the Tai Xuan Alliance.
Mu Yuan, with Duo Lai, Uta, Lu Liu, Jun, and other Division Generals, set foot in Xuan Du.
Instantly,
"Ding!"
"Notification: Respected Six-star Pioneer Lord 'Tianyuan,' you and your followers have distinguished yourselves in the campaign of [Breaking the Dragon Sleep Catastrophe], making an exceptional contribution to safeguard the Tai Xuan Alliance and protect the peace and stability of the world."
"Notification: In accordance with the Alliance's laws and the Pioneer Group Contribution Value assessment system, you will receive a certain number of Contribution Points, a number of major merits, three special class battle achievements, and one Fire of Salvation battle achievement."
"Notification: Your accumulated battle achievements have reached the limit value, you will obtain the title—Seven-Star Level Exploration General."
"Notification: The official title, privileges, and rewards of the Exploration General will be issued after the formal award ceremony."
"Notification: You will attend the awarding ceremony as a representative of the Pioneer Lords tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. Please do not be absent."

Like heavenly reminder tones, these notification sounds rang out one after another beside his ear.
This sound resembled that of a notification for a Great Battle Zone.
In the Alliance's Xuan Du, as well as within a few key main cities, such Rule's Power covers the area.
To say that these are heavenly reminder tones would not be wrong either.
The heavenly reminder tones originate from Eternal World, whereas the Xuan Du notification sounds of the Tai Xuan Great War Zone are derived from factional and national power forces. Essentially, these are also part of the vast world of Eternal World.
Mu Yuan was not surprised.
The formal notification had in fact been issued many days before.
"Stepping into the Eternal World exactly two years ago, I've trod on thin ice; now, I've finally reached the level of an Exploration General."
...
The next day,
Inside the Nine-Color Tower of Xuan Du,
One after another, well-known Pioneer Lords from the outside world gathered.
Today was the awarding ceremony.
It was also a time to commemorate the strongmen who had sacrificed their lives in the war.
The atmosphere was somber.
After chatting with a few familiar Lords, Mu Yuan quickly found his seat and sat down.
"...In the past half-year, our Tai Xuan has experienced various disasters, and thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone here, we have survived disaster after disaster. But also, many familiar old warriors have forever left us."
Elder Lin, the host of the meeting, spoke gravely.
Quickly, projections appeared, one after another, massive and tragic battles that seemed to leap out from history, were once again presented before everyone.
One strongman after another fell in battle, sacrificing themselves heroically.
Four-Star Pioneer Lord · Golden Heavenly Blade, sacrificed in the Great Sorrow River battle!
Three-Star Pioneer Lord · War Roar Guest, perished intercepting the Duke of Hunting!
Four-Star Pioneer Lord...
Four-Star Pioneer Lord...
Three-star...
The sacrifices of strongmen, the brutality of battles, hovered before everyone.
The Eternal World is vast, and so is Tai Xuan.
Even the Pioneer Lords present, most did not fully understand the overall situation; upon seeing and hearing now, they realized that the situation was even more critical than they imagined.
Many strongmen had been sacrificed in the past half-year, especially during the time after the Sky Rift catastrophe occurred. It was too tragic!
The calamity was like a storm that was blowing fiercely!
One Pioneer Lord after another had a solemn expression, so solemn it felt suffocating.
Ordinary people, ordinary Professionals might be able to hold a more optimistic attitude, living each day as it comes, but they could not; they had to face, had to confront, the imminent disaster head-on.
But this catastrophe...
At this time, the Lord of Luo Fu Mountain said, "But our strongmen have also annihilated countless powerful monsters, cleansing one Source of Filth after another! We must believe that though calamities are fearful, we also possess the power to crush them."
"Next, we will proceed with the awarding ceremony for the Pioneer Lords who have been promoted in star level, but before that, let us briefly revisit the achievements of some outstanding Pioneer Lords over the past half-year."
