God Archers were operating the cannons, firing shot after shot. The shells burst out in dazzling sparks of thunder and flame upon impact.

Dust billowed up in the distance.

“Impressive power.”

Lord Shepherd evaluated.

Regardless of the lethality or the range of damage, they were far superior to arrow towers. Of course, the arrow tower doesn’t require an operator, doesn’t need to replace ammunition, and can be upgraded.

The Thunder Flame Cannon couldn’t do any of these things.

Their usage cost was also higher than that of the arrow towers, plus, they suffered from wear and tear.

After all, they were not a Miracle Building and thus required at least some science or metaphysical input.

Isloa glanced at the materials list, “The cost of constructing a Thunder Flame Cannon is about 10 to 12 soul crystals, the price fluctuates according to the principal materials.”

Much more expensive than an arrow tower.

Of course, the cost for constructing a level three arrow tower is far from the original 500g Soul Sand and a batch of basic materials.

Mu Yuan thought for a while, “Make, make a few dozen to start.”

Safety first.

At present, the main combat corps of Tianyuan Territory are not strong enough. If the Monster Tides are too many, they might be exhausted to death.

Having a few dozen Thunder Flame Cannons should be enough to alleviate the pressure.

Even if they are not used, it will not be a loss. The greatest advantage of city defense weapons and defensive buildings is that they are just weapons. If they become outdated, they can be sold to other lords.

Even a second-hand cannon, such rare-grade weaponry would not lack a market.

Just that, even with the blueprint in hand, Master Li’s team could only manufacture a limited number in the next couple of days.

They would make as much as they could.

As for the materials, he would let Sophia and Seventeen purchase them.

Mu Yuan planned out the defense layout of his territory, conducting war simulations in his mind. If the worst scenarios happened, how should Tianyuan Territory respond, and could it respond?

He had to be prudent and could not afford to take any chances.

Were something to go wrong, it would be an enormous loss.

In the afternoon, General Dead Bone returned, his journey long and weary.

Duo Lai prepared a welcome feast for Boss Dead Bone.

Dead Bone gazed at the dragon bone, giant bone, and monster bone on the table that seemed more like tribute and fell silent.

The purpose for Dead Bone’s return was twofold. One, to take a slight break — continuous deep exploration into the Red Fog Area would be hard even for a skeleton.

The other, more important purpose was that Mu Yuan planned to promote to a fourth-level territory.

The previous single unfulfilled condition — the amount of Territory Citizens — was met yesterday afternoon.

“The upgrade will increase Tianyuan Territory’s attraction to the Monster Tide, but this is both a challenge and an opportunity. Since I have fully prepared, it’s time to face the challenge directly.”

“Moreover, it’s an appropriate stage to upgrade the territory and receive rewards from heaven and earth.”

“It would allow Tianyuan Territory’s high-end combat power to surge a great deal.”

One is an increase in danger;

Another is an increase in combat power;

Taking both into account, Mu Yuan felt that after upgrading, his territory might be even more stable and safer.

Therefore, he summoned Dead Bone, Sophia, and Seventeen, who is far away in Shiling Town, to come back.

However, coming back from Shiling Town is a long journey, and the town also needed someone to guard it, so for the time being, only Seventeen was summoned to come back.

When everything was ready, Mu Yuan thought to himself, “Upgrade.”

“Ding!”

“Tip: Soul Crystals have been deducted, Tianyuan Territory (Level 3 Territory) is upgrading…”

Mu Yuan’s vision became elevated.

The boundaries on the territory map were rapidly expanding.

Under the Lord/Hero’s Vision, the white fog on the edge receded, revealing more areas in sight.

But in reality, at the far end of the land, the red fog that floated between the heavens and the earth was also progressively receding. The locations where the red fog retreated corresponded to the expanding territory boundaries.

Beyond the territory, red fog shrouded.

Within the territory, there was a peaceful land.

After a moment,

“Ding!”

“Tip: Tianyuan Territory has been promoted to a fourth-level territory (Advanced Town).”

“Prompt: You have received a Level Four Territory Boost.”

“Prompt: …”

Like Level Three Territory, Level Four also maintains town-level status, with not much difference and no unlocking of new construction blueprints.

The main enhancements lie in territory gains and building level limits.

Meanwhile, the territory radius has been expanded by 1.5 times, thus greatly stratifying the strategic depth – under the aid of a God-elevated vision within their territory radius, unaffected by the Red Fog, it’s undoubtedly easier to fight compared to battles outside territory boundaries.

Back at the Level Three Territory, there wasn’t much land outside the city walls.

But now, with the upgrade to Level Four, the external area is spacious enough to function as a battlefield.

In this way, they can take advantage of the visibility, to remove High-order Monsters and Wisdom Monsters from the Monster Tide.

Mu Yuan pondered this and soon, the brilliant descending rays from heaven graced their lands.

Anywhere it fell within his territory, all inhabitants of the Tianyuan Territory received the blessing.

From Little Skeleton to the Lord of Deathremains, weak or strong, everyone’s level began to rise.

They showed significant progression.

At the very least, all of them have broken through one minor level.

“Duo Lai”, as the Level Carry of Tian Yuan Territory, has moved from Level 4 of Fourth-order to Level 5 of Fourth-order.

At the Fourth-order leadership stage, there are challenges to small level advancements, so breakthrough stagnation isn’t complete, but spending several months stuck is typical.

However, all bottlenecks before the legend cease to exist in the face of Epic Life.

Following Duo Lai, General Dead Bone and Isloa progressed from Level 1 of Fourth-order to Level 2 of Fourth-order, ranking second and third in Tianyuan Territory respectively.

Combat power levels of the trio, Duo Lai, Dead Bone, and Isloa, have increased marginally, but just wait…

“Until now, Tianyuan Territory has only had three people at the Fourth-order Leader Level, the next highest levels belonged to individuals like Sophia, Rakshasa, Lu Liu.”

The level of the higher-ranking individuals has just entered LV39, while the lower-ranking individuals are at LV37, LV38.

It seems that they are not far from the Third-order Peak Complete Fulfillment, but with normal Soul Sand cultivation, even Sophia, who has the highest level, would need at least half a month to reach this stage.

That is too long.

It is important to remember that it is the time of the Red Fog Disaster Moon, as the catastrophe is getting worse. Even a single day’s advance into the Fourth-order will allow a much greater contribution.

At this moment,

with the falling brilliance light, battalion leaders like Sophia reach the stage of Great Perfection one after another.

Meanwhile, within the distant Breakthrough Dojos, powerful auras rise.

More and more elite soldiers of the Tianyuan Territory began to step into the Second-order realm.

Without a doubt, when the number of Second-order fighters in the Army Soul Corps increases from just a handful or dozens to hundreds or even two hundred, the overall combat power of the troop is multiplied several times over.

Mu Yuan also digests his own advancement.

That night, Sophia and several other Third-order peak generals began using Perfect Breakthrough Stones, which they had prepared in advance, to break into the Fourth-order.

The whole process was incredibly smooth, with no bumps in the road.

“Prompt: Your troops ‘Sophia’ have stepped into the Fourth-order Leader Level.”

“Prompt: Your troops ‘Rakshasa’ have stepped into the Fourth-order Leader Level.”

“Prompt: …”

“Prompt: …”

Sophia, Rakshasa, Hong Yi, Xi Liu, Lu Liu, and Seventeen – a total of six Tian Yuan Division generals broke through in this round of leveling up.

Before breaking through, the combat power of Lu Liu was at most comparable to the Fourth-order Limit.

While he had a dominating advantage over most Fourth-orders, taking out a Fourth-order opponent in a one-on-one battle was still tough and usually took two to three moves.

But after the breakthrough, their physical, spirit, and energy levels have exploded. With greater power to drive the use of Epic abilities, their combat power has soared multiple times.

“Now we have a total of nine Fourth-order Epics.”

“With this much power to fight against the Monster Tide, it should be pretty stable, right?”

After breaking through, the generals exchanged a few moves in the newly built Warrior Arena to familiarize themselves with their new powers. Afterwards, they all returned home and went back to their normal routines.

Sophia went back to Lanxing to continue accumulating Remnant Souls. During this period, affected by the Red Fog Disaster Moon, the price of Remnant Souls kept dropping. She wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

Seventeen traveled alone across the now dangerous wilderness region and reached Shiling Town within half a day.

He continued to preside over his trading post.

Mu Yuan then took out The Hero’s Proof.

He wanted to use it on Lu Liu two days ago. However, after discussing it with Lu Liu, he decided to wait until Lu Liu progressed to the Fourth-order before conducting the Hero Trial.

This is being prudent.

Even if Lu Liu’s trial had a 99.9% success rate, it would be worth making it even more secure.
