Chapter 443 Assessment Over, Tianyuan Defense Zone (4K)_2
```
The ground crumbled away in waves, like the tide.
After a moment, Uta stopped his output.
He left behind a crater over three thousand meters in diameter. Inside the pit, a long, legendary remnant was faintly visible, its category no longer distinguishable.
Uta picked up the remnants and found the one that had fallen earlier.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "That was close, I almost didn't complete the mission."
...
Tens of kilometers away.
A newbie at a training camp was also carrying out an assessment task.
It was the Lord of Scorching Flames.
"I've discovered several legendary traces in this small area; indeed, the wilderness holds boundless danger. I must be extremely cautious and absolutely cannot reveal my whereabouts," she mused.
She could imagine that once she was discovered and locked on, she would inevitably be pursued by the Monster Overlord and intercepted by at least several monstrous figures.
With a Concealing Pearl in hand, the Lord of Scorching Flames moved through the mountains and forests, using only the power of her physical body to fly and traverse.
Suddenly,
"Boom——"
A loud noise resounded.
Despite the distance, it clearly reached her ears.
The Lord of Scorching Flames shivered.
"A battle?"
She climbed to a high point nearby to look out and could vaguely see the chaotic storm and a fleeting golden dragon shadow.
She swallowed nervously.
"Which power in the war zone is carrying out a suppression mission? Too fierce, unlike a small fry like myself who can only hide and sneak around."
She had no intention of investigating further.
To survive in the Great War Zone, the first rule was to restrain her curiosity; otherwise, she would eventually perish because of it.
Unless a call for help was seen, she would never approach any combat area.
"This region is not peaceful; I should go back and submit my mission report. These clues should be enough."
"Time to leave."
The Lord of Scorching Flames took one last distant look and then disappeared into the mountains and forest.
...
At roughly the same time, in the core fortress of Hangu Mountain war zone.
Compared with the three major logistics bases, the core fortress didn't look as magnificent at first glance; it was only slightly larger than the one at Dragon Head Mountain.
But Mu Yuan had heard that the entire fortress was a unified whole, an artifact in itself.
Even when it wasn't a time of war, the area outside the core fortress was still shrouded in gunfire, hardly ever ceasing.
Standing inside the fortress and looking into the distance, Mu Yuan could see mountains that seemed insurmountable and, beyond the mountains, the surging, cloud-like Scarlet Mist Tide.
"The Scarlet Mist is key,"
proclaimed the Lord of Han Yue City, "The reason our Tai Xuan, including other great nations, have been able to withstand the corrupt powers is that the truly powerful corrupt beings won't venture far from the Scarlet Mist."
"Only during the surges of the Scarlet Mist Tide do these apex monsters emerge within the tide."
"Even so, we have reasons to suspect that we are only facing the periphery of the Monster Power from the Red Mist Land. None of us know what exists deep within the Red Mist Land or what corruption and evolution have taken place."
"After all, even I have only delved a few million miles deep into the Red Mist Land."
Mu Yuan initially thought that the Lord of Han Yue City would express a sentiment of 'kill, kill, kill,' given her rise through bloodshed, but unexpectedly, her attitude seemed rather 'pessimistic'?
Lord Han Yue glanced at him as if guessing what he was thinking, "Because you have the potential and will eventually reach the same heights as us, I'm telling you about this cruel reality ahead of time. Don't get too cocky, kid."
"Of course, for now, fighting and resisting powerful enemies still depend on us, the 'older generation.'"
"Rest assured, as for restoring human glory, our Tianyuan Territory is duty-bound."
Mu Yuan said.
Duo Lai followed, "Exactly! That's the spirit!"
"By the way..."
Mu Yuan took something out of his storage ring, "This is the God General Talisman Stone you gave me back then. You said if it wasn't used, it should be returned. I'm returning it to its rightful owner today."
The 'God General Talisman Stone,' an Epic item, was something that the Lord of Han Yue City had obtained for him years ago.
```
After using the talisman stone, you can summon a divine general at the peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm, who will heed your commands and serve you for up to three hours.
Without a doubt, this is a god-tier item for saving one's life.
Even if faced with an assault by several legendary monsters, the emergence of a peak-level divine general is enough to break through perilous situations.
But for Mu Yuan right now, this talisman stone is of no use.
The Tianyuan Territory already has many division generals, with combat power comparable to the peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm.
He has no interest in keeping this item.
This talisman stone can't be said to be useless; at least initially, holding the God General Talisman Stone, Lord Shepherd felt a lot more secure. Many of his contingency plans involved the use of this talisman stone.
"Talisman stone?"
The Lord of Han Yue City was taken aback.
She remembered this item.
Epic items were not that rare for the vast Tai Xuan Alliance, but those suitable for ordinary lords and capable of turning the tide were extremely rare, or almost none at all.
The Tianyuan Territory had encountered a great calamity, and she had thought that Lord Tianyuan had used up the talisman stone a long time ago.
Without using the talisman stone, Tianyuan survived the most difficult initial period right under the nose of the Monster Overlord?
My goodness!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This guy is terrifying!
Not inferior to herself, and perhaps, possibly, maybe... a tiny bit beyond her?
However, times have changed, and it's not possible to compare directly.
So she thought.
Mu Yuan did not stay long in the core fortress and soon set off on his return journey.
He was still concerned about Rakshasa and Uta's conditions.
The fortress.
The general's mansion.
After bathing, the Lord of Han Yue City immediately donned her full set of armor, never parting with her armor and sword.
She summoned one of her direct lineage division generals, Moon Sword Immortal, who had been following her into the struggle of the Great War Zone.
"By the way, the various programs in the training camp must have been carried out nearly completely by now, right? How is the quality of this year's new officers? Are there any more reliable reinforcements being sent to us in Hangu Mountain from the rear? How are the two people Lord Tianyuan brought performing?"
Moon Sword Immortal said, "The first batch of officers have completed training and evaluation, among which Uta and Rakshasa, under Lord Tianyuan's command, both performed outstandingly. Ice Fist and several individuals in the Legendary Realm involved in the mission gave them high praise."
"Among them, One-Punch Martial Lunatic·Uta undertook a reconnaissance mission. He… uh."
Moon Sword Immortal glanced at the report in the hands of his subordinates and hesitated for a while before saying, "His reconnaissance result was bringing back two remnants of legendary monsters, proving that there are legendary monsters active in that area."
Killing two legendary realm creatures within a monster-infested area and returning unharmed is indeed an exceptionally powerful form of reconnaissance.
Moon Sword Immortal continued, "Rakshasa's performance was even more outstanding; he spent less than a day to find and kill a Thousand-faces monster that had been causing trouble for various patrol corps."
The Lord of Han Yue City slightly nodded.
After all, he was a top general whom Lord Tianyuan had carefully selected; finding Thousand-faces wasn't that far-fetched.
Moon Sword Immortal added, "During this process, Lord Rakshasa also found a high-level spy from Shen Yao, a high-level spy from Yongxing, two individuals guilty of embezzlement, and..."
The Lord of Han Yue City: "..."
That seemed a bit preposterous.
She also clearly remembered that Tianyuan had more renowned generals than these two.
There was Duo Lai, whom she had just met, the Shadowlord·Hong Yi, and several strong contenders from the Dragon Gate Ranking.
Where on earth did Tianyuan find these outrageous generals? She couldn't help feeling envious!
...
A day later, after an evaluation by the training camp and opinions from various departments, the appointment of this batch of new officers for the Hangu Mountain War Zone was about to be finalized.
All that awaited was the stamp of approval from the Lord of Han Yue City.
She glanced at it.
Rakshasa and Uta from Tianyuan Territory, responsible for the outer perimeter of No. 2 Logistics Base, a Class A Defense Camp, both to be appointed as 'Regional Commanders,' with Rakshasa as the main commander and Uta as the deputy commander. At the same time, that defense area was to be designated as the 'Tianyuan Defense Zone.'
Similarly, there were various defense zones named after certain territories within the Great War Zone, each backed by a powerful territory.
Among the many camps and defense zones, No. 2 Base·Class A Defense Camp was one of the more important ones. Explore stories on empire
The Lord of Han Yue City thought for a moment, "It's still not enough."
She took up her pen to add her own suggestion, "Grant Rakshasa and Uta the authority to form a Special Patrol Corps, responsible for..."
