Chapter 441: Chapter 303: The Realm of the Mortal, A Match for Legend (4K)
Next, all they had to do was to wait, accumulate, and prepare.
He rested for no more than half an hour before he was suddenly jolted awake.
He had received a message from Dead Bone!
...
To this day, the core framework of Tianyuan Territory was already in place, and each section's powerful figures were mature generals who did not need to report everything to their Lord.
During Lord Shepherd's rest period, he had also blocked most notification alerts.
However, he hadn't silenced a few channels of communication.
General Dead Bone's channel was naturally one of them. Dead Bone seldom sent messages, and would never do so without a reason, indicating...
A major event!
"Goblin... Legendary!"
"He's moving southward?"
"He harbors malicious designs against Tianyuan Territory?"
With a clear understanding of General Dead Bone's paranoia (strike that) cough cough, Steady Spirit, Mu Yuan translated the precise information from Dead Bone's words by himself.
"A Legendary Goblin from the Goblin race, inching southward, is that it?"
He pondered.
As a Lord, he could afford to be steady, but could not afford paranoia, for he must choose the most appropriate strategy.
And now,
"The Goblin Legendary is moving south."
"The Goblin Legendary is probing something."
"The Goblin Legendary has a certain chance of discovering our Tianyuan Territory, even in the vast wilderness, and though strictly speaking the probability isn't high, but..."
If they were discovered and the location of the territory was exposed, their situation would become extremely perilous.
Should they fight?
Face a Legendary Realm head-on?
"The Legendary Realm commands vast domains, borrowing the powers of heaven and earth, a strength beyond the reach of common warriors."
Though Mu Yuan had never personally fought against a Legendary, he had felt their awe-inspiring presence from afar. Even separated by tens of kilometers or more, the godlike pressure emanating from a Legendary being still seemed to constrict their throats, making it difficult to breathe.
And the Goblin Prince, this particular Legendary, even had the grand accomplishment of coordinating an ambush on a Xi Mo Legendary.
Confronting a Legendary, actively declaring war on a well-established Legendary, was not an easy decision to make.
Everyone harbors hope against the odds.
The Goblin Legendary might not discover Tianyuan Territory.
But!
"But I cannot gamble, we can't afford the price of losing a bet. No matter how small the probability, we can't gamble."
By now, ten seconds had passed since Dead Bone had sent the message.
He no longer had time to hesitate.
Hesitate, and face defeat.
Decisive action was their only chance.
"The Goblin Legendary, he brings a path leading to death!"
For the safety of the territory, for his officers and countless Territory Citizens, Mu Yuan had no choice but to invite this Goblin Legendary...
To his demise.
The time to fight had come.
With this realization, he no longer wavered, no longer considering other possibilities.
His mind focused on only one possibility: how to snipe and assassinate this terrifying Legendary, relying on the meager and frail power at his disposal.
"Tianyuan Territory, enter the highest alert state immediately, adjust the status of the division-level powerhouses, and be ready to strike at any moment."
A deep alarm sound echoed over the core area of the territory and across the left and right giant military camps.
The Domain Interferers began to buzz and operate at high speed.
Orders were relayed in all directions.
A host of generals were alarmed.
Isloa hurried down from the Staff of Divine Right, fully aware of the dread that came with the Legendary Realm. The Legendary Realm wielded power not meant for mortals.
In the Eagle Kingdom she once belonged to, not even an entire nation could produce a single Legendary being.
The mere possibility of a Legendary entity approaching was enough to turn a country like Eagle into utter chaos.
"Our territory... won't be in trouble, right?" Daisy pursed her lips, she too was once from the Eagle Kingdom, and in her memory, the Legendary Realm was higher than the heavens.
Yet their Tianyuan, was merely a small town.
"Nothing will go wrong," Isloa asserted confidently.
In the northern city, the defensive corps barracks.
Lu Liu, holding a large spear, gazed at the distant azure sky, which seemed to grow darker, with clouds slowly gathering. The somber sky hung over them like a massive rock pressing on their hearts.
Countless Elites silently stood, but their silence was filled with resolve.
"I will hold Tianyuan Territory's defenses," Lu Liu declared.
Uta, standing beside him, was not silent. The flames of battle burned in his eyes as he slowly unwrapped the bandages around his arms.
"There are eight chains within a human body constraining the flesh, and I could previously sever only six of them, but now, I can shatter all eight locks."
Around him, chains seemed to materialize and then burst apart as a towering aura erupted around him.
He fixed his gaze on the horizon of the sky, "When all the chains are shattered, whether my fist can withstand a Legendary Realm, I'd like to find out."
He was eager to test his strength.
Duo Lai was rushing back from the mines.
The epic band formed by Bone Two, Bone Three, Bone Four, and the other fourteen Skeleton Lords had already set out.
Mu Yuan presided over the Staff of Divine Right, preparing for ultra-long-range support.
The level 4 Staff of Divine Right had 100 slots, of which the technique 'Night Hidden Starry Sky' occupied twenty. After that technique was used, the next 'Night Hidden Starry Sky' would begin manufacturing.
He had eighty technique slots at his disposal.
Among them, three 'Roaring Thunder Flame Dragons (10)' and two 'Thousand Prism Large Reflection (10)' were inscribed. Subsequently, Mu Yuan inscribed a dozen more powerful Techniques, including offensive, defensive, and support types.
