I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"Provide backup along the way, only placing them at verified intersections. Do not lead anyone towards the Stone Palace without my message."

Lu Changfeng caught the map and nodded.

"I will keep an eye on the city, the military fortress, and the handover platform."

He remarked the locations of the outposts and then pulled out another roster from the table.

"There's one more thing. The battle merits from the Xiling battle have been verified, and a batch of suitable medicines and materials have also been tested. They can be distributed today."

The thick roster was unfolded, and it was filled with names.

Records were kept of the main attackers, the flank operators, the support personnel, and even those who brought the wounded out of the artillery fire.

Shen Tian flipped through a few pages and stopped at one point.

He remembered that name. At the foot of the north wall of the military fortress, the other man had taken a bullet for his comrade, and when he retreated, half of his arm was hanging down.

"Send the wounded's share first. The dead, keep them for their families."

"It's already listed separately."

Lu Changfeng handed over another, thinner list.

Shen Tian read them one by one and handed them back to him.

"Distribute them according to this order. Those guarding the fortress and the outposts outside must not be missed."

After capturing the fortress and bringing back piles of materials, those who contributed should be rewarded.

He should take a good look at his own accounts from this trip.

Shen Tian returned to his cultivation place, closed the door, and immersed his mind in the system.

The battlefield alerts had already been recorded.

At that moment, all six soldiers marched out, and Yan Qiao's halberd was right in front of him, but he didn't have time to examine them one by one.

Now, let's unfold the record of this expedition, as lines of numbers flash before our eyes.

Advance forward, intercept from the flanks, and naval guns blast open the enemy lines.

Lin Qingyi killed the armored soldiers, and Lu Changfeng killed the commander of the North Slope.

The names of Li Kui and Di Yan are also listed in the kill log of their subordinates.

The highest command authority transferred after Tianheng and Chijun returned to the team had already met the requirements for family members.

When the two destroyed the enemy's soul, their share of kill points was also credited to their accounts.

Shen Tian's gaze shifted downwards.

The escaped enemy soldiers and the prisoners who were imprisoned were not included in these kill records.

He was unfamiliar with many of the names.

The enemy soldiers were scattered in the mountains, under the walls and in the passageways of the military fortress. Some died from the swords and spears coming at them, while others were caught by the flank fire and never escaped the battlefield.

The amount wasn't large.

Dozens of strokes, hundreds of strokes, and then the numbers keep piling up.

Shen Tian stared at the record, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

Two million four hundred thousand!

The War Overlord's Domination deprives him of all kill points earned by his subordinates, allowing 100% of those points to go into his account.

He personally killed Yan Qiao and obtained 500,000.

And this legion he led earned him a full 2.4 million!

Six thousand warriors each guarded a section of the battlefield.

Some broke through the enemy lines, some filled in the gaps, and some intercepted the defeated soldiers, taking on all the tasks that one person could not handle.

The enemy was killed, the military fortress was captured, and the spoils truly fell into his hands.

Shen Tian raised his hand and began the final calculations.

Two million eight hundred thousand!

Shen Tian leaned back in his chair and laughed heartily.

The three sections of divine essence have been refined into his body, and his life core has steadily remained at the mid-tenth rank.

That 400,000 yuan for enlightenment has long been converted into power that can be unleashed.

There is still such a large balance left in hand.

If he comes across suitable resources again in the future, he can use them to refine them;

There are still areas for refinement in the Six Soldiers theory, and there is room for further development.

He temporarily put away the upgrade list.

I haven't used up all the power I gained from the breakthrough yet. I'll decide which aspect to strengthen next after I actually encounter the eleventh-tier Abyss race.

With the money in hand, he wasn't in a hurry to spend it all.

Shen Tian glanced at the "family members" section and felt even more confident.

The stronger this legion, the more battlefields it can conquer. The greater the benefits he reaps, and every step he takes forward empowers those who follow him into battle.

The path that was initially chosen on Earth has finally yielded its first decent return in the endless world.

He put away the panel, pushed open the door, and went out.

Outside the first factory, several long tables have been set up.

The medicines, crystals, and spare weapons cleared from Yan Qiao's personal reserves were stored separately, and the batch that could be used by the human race was labeled with inspection records separately.

Shen Tian walked to the table and picked up a medicine box first.

Lu Changfeng looked through the records and said, "I can use this one."

"I'll leave it to you."

Shen Tian pushed the medicine box over.

"You'll still need to keep things under control at the military fortress. Keep grinding your ninth-tier foundation deeper."

Lu Changfeng put away the medicine box and nodded seriously.

This can help him cultivate, but it can't replenish the world's origin he needs to advance to the tenth rank. He knows the path he should take.

Lin Qingyi stood by another table and chose a medicine that suited her current level.

After reading the instructions, she immediately put the item into her personal storage device, her smile impossible to hide.

"I've been practicing my swordsmanship these past few days, and I've been really missing this."

Zhao Gang didn't rush to touch the medicine box. He first squatted down next to a row of armor pieces and tapped one of the thick pieces of material.

"Can this fix the cut on my axe?"

The craftsman next to him looked at his old axe and then picked up the thick piece of wood to examine it.

"This one won't work. The one next to it will, let's try that one first."

Zhao Gang immediately picked up the suitable material.

Reggae was picking out materials to repair the shield next to him.

Ah Fei took his longbow and asked someone knowledgeable about weapons to check the material of a blade base, instead of rushing over to snatch those heavy weapons that were completely useless.

Everyone has different preferences, so rewards are only useful if they are in one's own hands.

Lu Changfeng distributed the records of battle achievements to each team.

Some received the crystals needed for cultivation, some chose suitable weapons, and some reserved their share for repairing old equipment.

A young martial artist, whose shoulder was still wrapped in bandages, took his share and touched the straightened spear beside him.

"Next time, send me to the front lines again."

His companion patted him on the shoulder.

"Take care of your shoulder first. You couldn't even hold a gun that day, who dragged you back?"

"Didn't you get yours too?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Shen Tian stood behind the table, watching as items were taken away one by one.

The total number of seizures did not increase due to the awarding of prizes, but Curry finally had more than just rows of sealed boxes.

Those parts that should be left to the factory will continue to be repaired and protective gear made.

What was due to the participating warriors fell into their own hands.

These things can go to the battlefield with them on the next expedition.

Suddenly, several crisp metallic clanging sounds rang out from the factory.

Solomon held up a newly made arm guard and had a warrior put it on.

This was a prototype that was halted due to a shortage of materials. After replacing it with high-quality materials that had been seized from the military base, the first usable prototype was finally produced.

The warrior fastened the connector, rotated his wrist repeatedly, and then gripped his weapon tightly.

The seam is no longer stuck as before.

He then gradually increased the pressure as Solomon had instructed, and the arm guard remained firmly attached to his forearm without being pinched by the torn joint.

"Keep this one for further testing." Solomon noted the result. "Modify the rest accordingly, don't rush to finish them all at once."

Several human warriors who were learning the craft gathered around and, looking at the seam that had finally closed, gestured with their hands.

Tianheng's right shoulder brace has been installed, but the replacement armor for his chest and abdomen still needs to be installed.

The red falcon's shoulder wings were also hanging beside it.

Solomon put away his arm guard and recorded the data, then turned and pressed the observation aperture against the pylon of the celestial balance.

"These two interfaces have been verified first. Just because they can rotate doesn't mean they can withstand attacks from an eleventh-tier enemy."

Tianheng glanced at Shen Tian and then retracted the cannon mount he had just raised.

"This time we'll defend the city."

"Okay. The factory is only at this stage of construction, don't let anyone vandalize it."

Red Falcon looked at the wing frame that he hadn't finished installing and urged the craftsman to hoist the next bone beam over.

Shen Tian walked around the warehouse.

The blue-patterned material sent by the Rock Feather Clan has been cut into support components, and a transport vehicle with the replaced support components is unloading the heavy ore.

The truck bed was lowered very low, yet it steadily withstood the load.

The truck next to them was still using an old frame, and someone still had to help it unload the materials.

The refined materials from the military fortress and the ore ingots that had been officially exchanged were all put into use. The work that had been suspended resumed, and people no longer had to wait idly around the empty furnace.

At noon, the long tables in the open space outside the factory were removed and replaced with several rows of dining tables.

The warriors who had returned to the city in turn sat down one after another, and several large basins of hot meat were brought to the table, their aroma overpowering the burnt smell wafting from the furnace.

As soon as Shen Tian sat down, Zhao Gang was already waiting beside him with a bowl in his hand.

"Lord, is today's meal alright, everyone's got their fill?"

"Tube."

"Then I won't be polite."

Zhao Gang handed the bowl to the person serving the meat.

Looking at the bowl, which was noticeably larger than the others, Reggae couldn't help but say, "Did you trade your axe-repairing quota for a basin?"

"Being able to eat a lot is also a skill."

"When we're moving materials later, you should make a couple more trips too."

"I took that piece of material back with me myself!"

Afei sat down next to him with the soup in his bowl. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Gang pushed the empty bowl in front of him.

"Hold this for me. There's another pot over there."

The people at the table immediately burst into laughter.

While eating, someone gestured the steps he took to rush over the north wall, but halfway through his story, his companion standing right next to him exposed his boasting.

The wounded knife-wielder leaned against the back of the chair, his laughter aggravating his wound. He quickly reached out and pressed the bandage against it, but wouldn't stop.

The portions destined for the military fort and outposts had already been loaded onto the trucks. Those guarding outside would still receive their rewards and this hot meal.

Shen Tian took the bowl from Lin Qingyi and looked at the familiar faces around the table.

Some were still wounded, and others were still repairing their weapons.

But they won this battle.

With the military fortress in hand, materials in the warehouse, the furnace burning, and partners beginning to willingly send over good stuff.

Shen Tian lifted the bowl.

"This battle was worth fighting."

The bowls on the table were raised one after another.

"value!"

The sound traveled through the factory gate, and even Tianheng, standing next to the repair rack, turned his head to look.

After finishing his drink, Shen Tian put the bowl on the table and smiled as he picked up another piece of meat.

Those who followed him deserve to enjoy this meal to the fullest.

After the meal, Lu Changfeng rechecked the rendezvous location.

"After passing the eastern gorge, the communication might be cut off. Since we haven't received any new location information, we'll stop at the verified intersection and wait."

Shen Tian nodded and took out the communication card, handing it to the remaining martial artist.

The young tour guide outside the door was leaning against the wall. He stood up straight when he saw him.

"What's your uncle's name?"

"Uncle Ling. He has a missing piece in his left ear and an old injury in his right leg, so he walks slowly."

"If he's still alive, I'll bring him out."

The guide bent down, picked up some charcoal, and redrew the map of the freight yard. He drew which row of carts the old man was pushing, which side the wounded were on, and which warehouse the guards came out of.

Shen Tian noted down these details and carefully put away the road map.

Lin Qingyi escorted him to the city gate and raised her hand to brush the fine dust off the corner of his collar.

"Pick out what's suitable and bring it back."

"We need to go and see how much they've actually saved."

Shen Tian smiled, and a crimson light shot into the sky.

He traveled south along the verified route, bypassing the spatial turbulence and passing through the eastern stone gorge.

The tire tracks at the bottom of the gorge grew denser, and a dark mark was embedded in a crevice high up in the rock, its scent matching that of the missing person's chip.

Shen Tian memorized the location but did not touch it. The power of the void dispersed, concealing his aura.

Half a day later, the Black Pillar Stone Palace appeared at the edge of the wasteland.

Twelve black pillars surround the palace, with a faint blue light shining through from the ground.

The old man in the freight yard had a missing left ear and a limp in his right leg. He had barely slowed down his push to seal the box when he was whipped on the back.

Shen Tian glanced at it, then turned his gaze to the open stone warehouse.

The crystal blocks were piled high. Two spatial light trails hung behind the hall, and the aura of the deep abyss below was thick.

There is a ten-step platform in front of the palace gate, and another one on the north side.

He circled the perimeter to memorize the terrain, confirmed that the eastern slope could block the aftershocks from the front, and then memorized the locations of the retreat route through Shixia and the two interchange platforms.

Shen Tian stopped several hundred paces away from the palace.

Dark red power gathered in his palm, and the Divine Punishment Battle Blade materialized.

"You guys like to check routes."

He gripped the hilt of his knife and looked at the twelve black pillars.

"Then let's start the search from here again."

A splash of crimson stretches across the wasteland.

The blade flashed straight at the stone hall, and a protective curtain of eerie light suddenly rose up around it.

The twelve black pillars with their hidden patterns lit up simultaneously, converging towards the front gate.

At the door, the late-stage tenth-tier follower suddenly opened his eyes and was about to stand up.
