This place is the communication center of the Tianyuan Territory, Natural Garden, and Giant Stone Ridge—three major forces—led by a Fourth-order Peak elf and a giant who commanded an elite squad stationed here daily.
On the one hand, it was to express solidarity, assisting the Tianyuan Territory in defending against surprise attacks from monster power; on the other hand, it acted as a representative responsible for the communication and cooperation among the three parties.
However, today the Legendary figures, White Sword Flower Milena and Absolute Barrier Asolo, also arrived at Wolf Head Mountain. Inside the command center, a tense atmosphere prevailed.
"We have received news that the enemy is making unusual moves, suspected of awakening war weapons and gathering monster waves. And it's not just the Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase showing activity; even... even the Great Blood Tree Forest to the west is suspected of stirring."
The Legendary Elf Milena spoke.
The Giant Legendary Asolo said, "We have noticed something similar."
Representing the Tianyuan Territory, General Duo Lai sat looking very serious as she listened to what the elf and giant were saying, nodding slightly to show that she understood.
Then, there was no follow-up.
Miss Duo simply wasn't responsible for strategy or tactics, nor did she indulge in meaningless thought; this wasn't stupidity—she just focused all her energy on cultivation. And of course, eating was an important part of cultivation as well.
Her main role here was to act as a mascot (crossed out), to serve as an important representative.
After all, Duo Lai was the only Legendary figure of the Tianyuan publicly known. In Mu Yuan's absence, she needed to entertain the visiting elven and giant legends.
After she hummed an acknowledgment, she also cleverly realized that she probably needed to say something else, so she sent a distress signal to the Lord through the spiritual communication network.
"What kind of pleasantries should Duo say? Online now, very urgent."
Actually, there was no need for panic.
Mu Yuan was well aware that Duo Lai was just a mascot; the actual affairs of Wolf Head Mountain were primarily managed by Lu Liu or Bone Four.
Tactical discussions were coordinated by Lu Liu.
Duo Lai's role was simply to occasionally serve as a loudspeaker, relaying his commands.
Mu Yuan stroked his chin.
At the moment, he was engaged in an important cultivation practice and was somewhat surprised when he heard the news.
The elf and giant had laid their plans for over a hundred years; although their means were limited and their strength not very formidable, their intelligence network was broader than that of his Tianyuan Territory, with agents infiltrated into many large Monster Tribe enclaves deep in the wilderness.
His Tianyuan Territory could only cover the surrounding area of a few hundred kilometers.
For regions further away, he had to rely on a few powerful figures like Jun, Rakshasa, and Dead Bone to scout. Even if they occasionally managed to penetrate deep into enemy territory, due to constraints such as personnel and time, the information they could uncover was far from comprehensive.
Of course, Dead Bone did more than just scouting.
Hearing the news, Mu Yuan thought for a moment and sent Dead Bone and Sophia to a specific area for investigation. He believed in the authenticity of the information from the two major forces, but to get more accurate and detailed intelligence, he naturally had to rely on his own resources.
To the south of Tianyuan Territory, a certain area over two thousand kilometers away from the domain.
Sophia blended with the night, moving with cautious yet unhurried speed, changing direction to shuttle swiftly toward a particular destination. She seemed like a wisp of a ghost, traversing hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, the entire process silent.
She was the head of Tianyuan's intelligence agency and not just a figurehead; but...
Even though she had managed to train thirty or forty Night Raven Servants, even though several of them had broken through to the second order,
The only person truly capable of delving deep into the Monster Overlord's territory for reconnaissance was she alone.
Nevertheless, the Night Raven Servants were proving useful. Even if they were only First or Second-order, as long as they were with the patrol team, they could expand the team's range of vision.
Thus, if a formidable enemy launched a sneak attack, the Night Raven Servants could give early warning; if they detected movements of Wisdom Monsters, they could inform the patrol team to sneak up and hunt down the High-order Monsters.
Actually, the Battle Falcons could also serve for early warning and pursuit. However, Azure Birds and Tai Qing Birds were large and conspicuous, often becoming the hunted by enemies.
The Azures had sharp eyesight and an extremely wide field of vision, but after all, they only had a pair of eyes, and in environments like dense forests, their reconnaissance abilities were far inferior to those of Created Black Crows.
Sophia was moderately satisfied with the performance of the Crow Servants.
Given the limited time, there was no opportunity for better training. Nevertheless, her vision was always of the stars and the sea; she wanted to extend her intelligence network further, covering all nations and territories of the Eternal World.
In an instant, Sophia had arrived at the target area.
Black crows had scattered in all directions as she rushed and leaped, matching her nearly as fast flying speed and blending into the night, moving through the shadows.
"The crows have made a discovery!"
In the dense forest, rumbling noises emerged as trees toppled down, and a sixty-meter-tall flesh and blood war machine started to move slowly out.
Around the machine, there were several High-order Monsters accompanying it, calling over wandering monsters through some method, then compelling these mindless creatures to merge into the massive war machine.
This war machine continued to move forth, growing in size as it did so.
A black crow perched on a treetop, its eerie eyes sweeping across the land.
The monsters remained unaware.
Even as a Fourth-order Leader Level Snake man passed by, it did not notice anything amiss.
