Chapter 472 The Authority of the War Zone, Grand Marshal Mu's Means of Motivation (4K)_2
```
"I wonder how I ended up as the commander-in-chief; among the three vice commanders, there's only one Soul Realm expert?"
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that there might be other Soul Realm generals under the vice commanders.
The vast majority of those in the Legendary Realm only ever stay in the Heaven and Earth Realm in their lifetimes.
Just as most professionals never get a glimpse of the legendary in their entire lives.
Even so, Mu Yuan felt it was too weak; he needed to take up the banner. Oh, he was the commander-in-chief, so it was his responsibility to do so.
Grand Marshal Mu arrived at Red Mountain City.
He immediately reached out to the three vice commanders.
Green Mountain, Rain Dust, Broken Rock.
The Broken Rock Lord was a man whose eyes carried the weight of time, almost in his forties. Mu Yuan already knew him.
The Rain Dust Lord looked like a girl who had just turned twenty, but it was said she was only a few years younger than the Broken Rock Lord.
The Green Mountain Lord was a young man, tender in appearance, seemingly around the same age as Mr. Mu.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mu Yuan got straight to the point.
"What are your opinions on the current situation?"
"What opinions can there be?" the Rain Dust Lord said, "The alliance has set our bottom line to hold this battle line, but the enemy has taken the Shattered Isles, and our disadvantage will only grow bigger if we keep defending… After all, we lack strategic depth, and once a high-level battle breaks out, it can easily cause collateral damage to the surrounding villages, towns, and cities.
My view is rather pessimistic."
The Broken Rock Lord took up the conversation, "Initially, we conducted some reconnaissance, but Dragon Sleep Valley has amassed heavy troops outside the entrance to the Shattered Isles. We fall into ambushes as soon as we step in. Under such circumstances, it's not about establishing a base, expanding the battle zone, and Miracle Territory anymore; we can barely hold on for long."
He added, "The enemy is significantly empowered by the dense Red Mist, resembling the Red Mist Land, and our forces are greatly affected by this environment. Moreover, within such defiled territories crafted by Dragon Sleep Valley, even more frightening existences higher than the Soul Realm can descend upon us. We assess that it's impossible to take the position."
"Wait a moment..."
Mu Yuan interjected, "The enemy might bring forth beings beyond the Soul Realm, how can we fight with just us? This is far too unstable."
The Green Mountain Lord agreed, "Exactly, it's too unstable and highly risky. Of course, when the general offensive begins, the alliance should send a powerhouse from the Third Realm to support us... it's just temporary assistance for us, but not enough to secure the battle zone.
"Even so, I still think a strong offensive is very unsteady, the risk is just too great. Apart from the Third Realm, we'd also have to face possibly several times or even a dozen times more Legendary Realm enemies than us, which is really..."
He aired all his concerns in one breath.
Luckily, this Lord Tianyuan seemed to be a cautious person, and he felt somewhat relieved. His biggest fear was ending up with a commander-in-chief who had an impulsive 'just-do-it' attitude.
He knew he wasn't up for the task, which is why he had declined the position of commander-in-chief. But he also hoped for a powerful commander-in-chief who was capable and had strong combat power.
Tianyuan wasn't the top-level lord he had wished for.
All he could hope was that Tianyuan would be strong enough. At least for now, the generals of Tianyuan Territory had shown impressive combat power, which was encouraging.
However, without a top-level lord arriving, their high-order forces were quite stretched.
How should they turn the tide?
...
The three vice commanders were discussing.
Lord Shepherd was contemplating.
"So, the key to turning the tide is, we need to establish our own base within the Shattered Isles, so as to weaken the Red Mist erosion and prevent the enemy from completely consuming the Shattered Isles and then overwhelming us with their full might?"
"Yes, but the real challenge is how to establish a base."
Green Mountain said.
Mu Yuan pointed the tip of his pen at the Shattered Isles and drew an arc to the side.
"What if... I'm just hypothesizing if we can take another route into the Shattered Isles, bypass Dragon Sleep Valley's cutting edge, is there a possibility to establish a battle zone base?"
Such a route was now in his hands.
...
Red Mountain City, temporary resting place.
Mu Yuan rubbed his temples.
"The plan is generally feasible, but we still need the staff department to conduct more detailed analysis, prepare a full plan, and it takes time for the alliance to dispatch reinforcements."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Yuan actually hoped they could launch a surprise attack now.
But that wasn't possible.
The Tai Xuan Alliance was strong, but such a large, powerful machine was made of countless components. The operation of the alliance was slow to change.
For now, they still had to firmly hold the area outside Red Mountain City.
At this moment, Isloa, as the Lord of Tianyuan, representing the commander-in-chief, had begun liaising with the various Pioneer Legions and took over most of the affairs.
```
Rakshasa returned from his training in the Great War Zone. His time in the Great War Zone was short, but his experience as the leader of the defense camp was already richer than that of most in the Legendary Realm.
He guarded the frontlines, patrolled, and patched up any oversights or omissions.
The construction and planning of the war zone, as well as the completion of the details for surprise evolutionary attacks, were all handled by the staff department. Experience tales with empire
Mu Yuan went around in circles and realized that although he was the Regional Commander of the war zone, it seemed...
He was an idle man.
In his territory, he still had to stamp and sign, serving as a merciless document approval tool, but in the war zone, many of these trivial matters did not require the commander's attention.
If the commander could fight, or if a great general from the commander's family could fight, that was enough.
Isloa assisted with the few trivial matters, allowing Marshal Mu to lead a leisurely life.
He felt somewhat guilty for being idle.
The soldiers at the front were still fighting.
But before an emergency arose, he as the commander was not even suited to take direct action. Taking action also required an appropriate occasion.
"What should a commander do?"
"Aside from turning the tide, what else can inspire the troops?"
It was material rewards.
For this reason, the Tai Xuan Alliance had established a relatively fair contribution and military merit system.
Mu Yuan opened the war zone exchange list.
The list was not much different from the Tai Xuan Platform exchange list, except for the first few pages, which highlighted 'special products of the war zone'. Pioneers from this war zone and Frontier Lords could exchange for these at discounted rates.
However, as the Shattered Isles war zone was newly established without any unique Miracle Buildings, the special products of the Shattered Isles war zone were particularly unimpressive.
——Just some 'junk' dropped from monsters repelled during the recent defense against Dragon Sleep Valley.
"What if I offer some special products on the list?"
Mu Yuan stroked his chin.
Lords could submit their treasures to the alliance in exchange for some Contribution Points. However, Officials would only accept high-order treasures.
Now that he was the Regional Commander, providing some special products for the Pioneers of the war zone to exchange would also save the difference that middlemen would earn.
But what kind of treasures could he offer that would be truly unique and have extraordinary appeal?
Did he have such things?
He truly did.
In Mu Yuan's palm, a cluster of Miracle Power swirled, visible only to himself.
This cluster of Miracle Power could be applied to troop types beyond his own.
It was a change that had occurred during his last Evo-Power evolution.
But offering evolution to others had drawbacks such as long durations and severe dispersion of the Evo-Power.
Compared to evolving his own troops, this seemed to have a low cost-performance ratio.
However, for others, it was not necessarily the case.
Epic was a threshold.
Many Lords would even bankrupt themselves to obtain an Epic creature.
"Evolving an Epic isn't too outrageous. Legendary Lives have the ability to mass-produce Epics (strike-through), as do some bloodline purification methods, breeding masters, chances, sacred lands, and top-level Miracle Buildings. They all have the opportunity to create Epics."
"This is reasonable."
"First, this could motivate the pioneers in the war zone to bravely fight the enemy; second, it could enhance the strength of the war zone; and third, the number of my remaining Contribution Points could also quickly bounce back."
This could be described as killing three birds with one stone.
After some thought, Mu Yuan found it feasible.
He opened the war zone panel and began editing.
'Epic Evolution Opportunity: an Excellence Three-Star Troop will have the chance to evolve into an Epic Life.'
'Applicable Range: Most common troop types.'
'Success Rate: 92.66% (No side effects in case of failure; no Contribution Points charged for failure)'
'Quota Limit: 5. (Exclusive to pioneers of this war zone)'
'Exchange Price:...'
