My troops evolve infinitely

Mu Yuan's eyes narrowed.

There is a huge gap between duchies.

The duchy within the great power camp is a true grand duchy.

Just like their Taixuan Alliance.

Within the alliance, only a handful of factions dared to call themselves duchies, such as the renowned Duke of Beiting, who commanded great renown in the northern borders of the Taixuan Alliance. While his own combat prowess might not rival the renowned might of the Frost Moon City Lord or the Flowing Arrow Sword Master, the overall size and number of its warriors surpassed those of Frost Moon City by a significant margin.

The principality is so powerful.

Sophia's lips twitched slightly. "Boss, you may have misunderstood. The national conditions are different. Moreover, the Gem Principality is not a force within the Temple. It is still just a vassal of the Temple, one of the countless forces, large and small, surrounding the Star Luo Temple. The Gem Principality is one of the more powerful of these peripheral forces."

"According to my investigations these days, there are six Legendary Realm experts in the entire Gem Principality, known as the Six Jades of the Gem Kingdom. The Legendary Realm expert who led the exploration team into our Shifang Island a few days ago may be one of these six."

Six legends, so terrifying!

Wait, only six legends?

……

A day later, Mu Yuan met the Grand Duke in Red Stone City, a vassal state of the Gem Principality.

The statement is not quite accurate.

He did not show up in person.

Wang Gu said that this was not safe. Even if it was just an incarnation, one should not easily fall into a dangerous situation.

So, the Dead Bone took over this job. It led two Dead Skeleton Lords and two Dark Ghost Generals, and brought a group of undead creatures to strengthen its power, and then came all the way to Red Stone City.

The Grand Duke of Gem...he didn't show up either.

After all, he is the ruler of a principality and a top figure on this vast plain.

However, he was always paying attention.

He even came to Red Stone City himself and sent one of the Six Jades, known as the Obsidian 'Shadow Knight' to receive the group.

The Lord of Redstone City didn't understand.

The Grand Duke of Gem snorted but said nothing.

If it was just an ordinary foreign exploration team, why would he care?

But if this exploration team comes from the new domain opposite the Whirlpool Sea, that would be quite serious.

First of all, if you want to cross the whirlpool sea and the storm sea opposite, you need at least a legendary leader to lead you.

A force with a legendary figure in charge can no longer be called a small force.

Secondly, there are probably quite a few legendary monsters in the opposite domain.

It is a dangerous area.

"However, whether it comes from the opposite domain is still uncertain."

"If so..."

So he sent out the legendary Shadow Knight to test the waters.

The two teams met.

The Grand Duke of Gem saw the group of people coming from the outside world through the eyes of the Shadow Knight.

"Undead series of troops? That's quite rare."

"Is the leader their lord?"

The undead creatures are surrounded by a lot of death and shadow energy, which cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Shadow Knight.

But the only thing the Shadow Knight couldn't see through was this figure, who was wrapped in silver-gray armor and fluttering in a black cloak. He couldn't see through it at all.

Through the gaps in the helmet, one could vaguely see a pair of eyes emitting a faint golden glow, majestic, noble, indifferent, and absolutely unfathomable.

Like the eyes of a king.

Snapped--

The visual connection between the Grand Duke of Gem and his own Shadow Knight, which he had established through some props, was suddenly severed.

No, not disconnected.

It was the Shadow Knight who didn't dare to continue the 'affectionate gaze'.

The Grand Duke of Gem even felt that his own Shadow Knight was trembling. It was the kind of trembling that a subject would feel when standing before his king, unable to help but kneel down.

Illusion!

What a joke.

The Grand Duke of Gem still didn't know whether the team claiming to be from Tianyuan City came from the other side of the Whirlpool Sea.

However, in the face of strength, the truth is no longer that important.

With equal strength and each having its own backers, there is a basis for cooperation.

The plan to expand into foreign lands has been rejected by the Grand Duke of Gem.

The opposite area is not safe.

Another lord from Taixuan got there first.

At this time, instead of competing and fighting with Lord Taixuan, it is better to take a step back and get on Lord Taixuan's train.

You may earn less, but it is safe and risk-free.

Having reached middle age, he deeply understood the importance of stability. His own abilities had already reached their peak, and whether he earned more or less was all for the sake of raising the next generation. Given this, he couldn't afford to take any risks.

If you gamble big, you may lose everything.

He likes business that is sure to make a profit.

For Mu Yuan, the initial goal has been achieved.

First of all, by cooperating with the Gem Principality, he can use this as a starting point to continuously open up trade routes in the Shinra region.

They have a lot of black iron ore in the Shifang Island area, but Shiling City and Panshi City cannot consume it continuously.

The trade route across the sea to the east is even shorter, making it easier for caravans to travel back and forth.

The Gem Principality also has its own specialties. They produce a variety of 'Elemental Orbs (rare)' and 'Elemental Fragments (common)'.

Elemental orbs are materials commonly used in the construction of many miracle buildings or the manufacture of high-level war weapons.

The cooperation has been preliminarily agreed.

As for deeper cooperation, it can only be carried out after both parties become more familiar with each other.

Mu Yuan's original purpose was just to find out the situation of the opposite domain.

...

In Red Stone City, the Grand Duke of Gem lit a cigarette and stood by the window, thinking.

Beside him, the legendary shadow knight stood there motionless like an obsidian statue.

"We don't plan to explore the vast area across from the Whirlpool Sea, but... we still need to understand the situation thoroughly. You're responsible for this."

The Shadow Knight has a group of excellent scouts under his command.

He was not planning to expand into the opposite territory, but if reconnaissance revealed some extremely valuable opportunities or treasures, he could change his mind at any time.

The Shadow Knight asked, "Lord, where is the Gunnery Master from Ironstone Mountain? Are you still recruiting? More and more lords have been rushing to Ironstone Mountain lately."

The Grand Duke of Gem waved his hand and said, "No, judging by the appearance of the Gunnery Master, he's not someone worth recruiting. I won't waste my energy on him."

Of course he tried.

He went there twice in person and even offered extremely generous treatment conditions, but the gunnery master refused without much thought.

Since that was the case, the Grand Duke of Gem gave up and no longer thought about trying.

He couldn't have offered better terms.

First, the conditions he offered were already extremely high; second, if he offered even higher, how would his own veterans view it?

"Let the other lords fight for it."

"I guess arguing over it all, haha, won't lead to any results."

……

Tieshi Mountain was originally just an inconspicuous hill, but it became famous since a heroic master of guns and cannons settled here.

More and more lords or high-level professionals are flying here from thousands of miles away.

Thanks to the peaceful and tranquil environment of the Shinra Realm, even a team of second-level elite professionals can travel thousands of miles.

Of course, since there are many countries and forces in the Shinra Realm, and there are no convenient steel trains like the Taixuan Alliance, most of the lords or professionals who can cross thousands of miles at this time have flying mounts.

this day.

A huge, blue-green bird with extraordinary divine power flew here, riding the wind from the sky.

Coming down from above were Sophia and Dolai—half of Dolai.

Half of Dorae's body followed Sophia - the body of a humanoid girl.

The remaining half of the body remained in the temporary camp - the body of a large slime.

But even 'Half Dolai' possesses power that surpasses that of ordinary legends.

"Is there some wild hero here?"

Dolai looked around.

Sophia: "Yes, right here on this mountain, he's a master of gunfire."

She accidentally obtained information about the Tieshishan gunnery master while gathering intelligence.

She certainly knew that a gun master meant nothing to her lord.

However, Sophia also knew that the epic profession of Gunnery Master required very high skills and technical level, and the lord had been troubled by the fact that he did not have a strong person in this area.

Therefore, during the investigation, Sophia specifically checked the information of this gunnery master. She learned that this gunnery master had very advanced gun modification technology.

The lords and professionals who came here were not all here to recruit this master.
