Chapter 462: Chapter 311: Refusal (4K)_2

Meanwhile, the grace of Heaven and Earth descended gently like a shower of light.

It coalesced into four spheres of light, two blue and two green.

Following that, Mu Yuan mimicked the previous process and purified the remaining two Blood Ponds. The three Blood Ponds yielded seven blue-level treasures.

Among them were four Superior Grade Remnant Souls.

Superior one-star level Remnant Soul “Holy Light Priest,” “Leader of the Tauren.”

Superior two-star level Remnant Soul “Blazing Two-Headed Dragon.”

Superior three-star level Remnant Soul “Fierce Gun Ranger.”

“Not bad.”

Mu Yuan nodded slightly.

Superior Remnant Souls weren’t what he needed, but such high-order souls were always in demand and were worth much more than ordinary Superior materials.

He had no complaints.

Especially that three-star Remnant Soul, it could attract many powerful lords to contend for it.

The only regret was that he was now in the vast wilderness; otherwise, he could have taken these high-order souls to Pan Shi City to auction them off.

The remaining three Superior Grade treasures were also quite powerful.

‘Notice: You have obtained the item “Soldier Recruitment Order (Blue).” ‘

‘Notice: You have obtained Miracle Blueprints “Ice Heart Lotus Platform (Blue).” ‘

‘Notice: You have obtained Miracle Blueprints “Advanced Watchtower (Blue).” ‘

——

Mu Yuan had once received a set of ordinary watchtower blueprints and built it around the temple in the Snake Man swamp.

However, that watchtower was toppled during the Red Fog Disaster Moon when he contracted his defenses. He didn’t need such a lookout area anymore at that time.

“The Advanced Watchtower is an upgraded version of the ordinary watchtower, offering a broader lordly vision, with certain scanning and reconnaissance capabilities; overall, it’s not bad. If I need to construct an outpost in the Jackal Man tribe area, building an Advanced Watchtower in the mining area would provide a foundation for constructing various types of defensive buildings around it.”

‘Ice Heart Lotus Platform’

‘Description: A cultivation type Miracle Building, it has benefits such as concentration, elimination of distractions, and intellect enhancement. Long-term cultivation using the Ice Heart Lotus Platform can significantly improve one’s spiritual power, and this boost can break through individual limits.’

Mu Yuan nodded slightly.

“This building not only aids in cultivation but also provides support for major breakthroughs. In the future, perhaps the evolution ceremonies could be conducted inside the Ice Heart Lotus Platform, to take advantage of its beneficial effects.”

Of course,

building the Ice Heart Lotus Platform or the Advanced Watchtower required a considerable amount of materials.

He currently lacked Superior Grade main materials and some Rare Level construction materials; he would have to start procuring them.

As for the remaining Superior Grade items…

‘Soldier Recruitment Order: Can be used on a troop building, allowing the building to perform an additional recruitment. The item can recruit up to a maximum of 5th-order troops (Superior one-star), with a recruitment number of 5. If the recruited troop tier is lower than 5th-order, the number recruited can triple for each level below.’

Mu Yuan pondered.

If he used it to recruit third-order Treemen, he could recruit 5×4×4=80 Treemen!

That’s equivalent to the number of Treemen he could recruit in a typical eight months.

If used to recruit one-star Little Skeletons, he could summon over a thousand.

The Treeman Troops were scarce in number and in urgent need of replenishment; however, over a thousand Little Skeletons were also not a small number… Mr. Mu hesitated over which to choose.

At that moment,

“Lord, we have captured two sneaky Feathermen.”

Jun swooped down from the sky, clutching a little Featherman in his talon.

The two Feathermen looked utterly forlorn.

Soon, Mu Yuan figured out the cause and effect; from the hesitant demeanors of the two Feathermen, it seemed Jun hadn’t made a mistake in capturing them.

…

Half an hour earlier, two strong members of the Feather Court Guard had noticed the great commotion here.

They approached quietly, watching from a distance.

A few minutes ago, two members who had edged closer couldn’t contain their curiosity, “The battle seems to be over, let’s sneak up and take a look. After all, the Queen ordered us to keep a close watch on the Jackal Man tribe, yet we’re unclear about what exactly happened. We can’t stutter and be unclear when reporting to the Queen, can we?”

Another Featherman agreed, “Brother, you’re right. We’ll just sneak up to the side of the city wall and take a peek; surely nothing will happen. And even if we do run into danger, with our capabilities, couldn’t we just flee if we can’t fight?”

After all, they were from the Featherman Tribe!

The Featherman Tribe, most adept at flight, soaring high above in the sky!

Once, they were the kings of the skies.

Several dozen seconds later,

Looking at the enormous bird head beside them, two Feathermen fell into despair.

They couldn’t fly over, they truly couldn’t!

…

Mu Yuan didn’t make things difficult for these two little third-order Feathermen.

If he were in their shoes, he would definitely have sent scouts to investigate as well, but it’s quite embarrassing to be caught due to inferior skills.

He said, “Convey a message to your queen. We wish to eradicate the three major minions of the Jackal Man Overlord, this tribe is the first. In the remaining two tribes, there are many resources; if your queen is interested, we can each attack a tribe and occupy a resource site.”

It would be quite strenuous for them to subdue these tribes by themselves.

They could fight, but not within today’s time.

If the queen is willing to cooperate and promptly root out the Jackal Man Overlord’s minions and spies, it would be most appropriate.

Also, inside the two other large tribes, there are likely to be abundant mining resources, as well as pollution that can be purified. Both tribes are valuable, but Mu Yuan can forsake them, as long as it satisfies the requirements of the grand strategy.

However,

Several hours later, Mu Yuan and his group, having returned to their domain, received a message from the Featherman Kingdom.

The queen had rejected the proposal.

…

“Naïve, too naïve,”

Inside the palace, the queen, listening to the report of the Feather Court Guard, shook her head with a sigh, “Even at the peak of our Featherman Kingdom, we were no match for the Jackal Man Overlord. How could we be now?”

“The large tribes under the Jackal Man’s command, once faced with a Legendary Realm, are indeed not difficult to break through, yet… Attacking such a tribe will only fully anger the Jackal Man Overlord and draw their attention!”

She could never have imagined that this human force would be so aggressive.

Were they really so daring?!

This move was far from a crushing blow to the Jackal Man Overlord.

Not worth it! Not worth it at all!

In such a situation, she couldn’t help but want the Featherman Kingdom to distance itself as much as possible from this human force, let alone cooperate with them to annihilate the Monster Tribe.

She indeed coveted the resource-rich lands occupied by the Monster Tribe;

Year after year, the resources of the Featherman Kingdom had become increasingly scarce… That was also why, even with rest and recuperation, the number of their strong could not increase;

However, even so…

“To survive in the Eternal World, one must first have wisdom and know how to exercise restraint. Only by doing so can one live among the cracks of various powerful overlords.”

“Acting on impulse is useless. Many civilizations that shine too brightly for others are those that do not understand the value of lying low; they are the ones who perish in the river of history.”

“In this region, there have been forces stronger than our Featherman Kingdom in the past. They have long since dissipated into smoke, while we are still here. This is the way to survive.”

The queen looked at the young Feathermen in front of her, clamoring to go to battle, “When the Jackal Man Overlord truly turns his attention here, that will be the day of the human force’s downfall. This time, at most, will not exceed two months. Perhaps, only one month is left.”

She felt some regret.

She sighed with pity.

…

“What is the Featherman Kingdom thinking, not wanting to take the chance to weaken the Monster Overlord? And it’s us who are at the forefront!”

Duo Lai was infuriated. It couldn’t understand.

It was about to blacklist the Feathermen from its list of friends.

“Well, it’s not that surprising, about fifty-fifty I guess,”

Mu Yuan pondered.

The Featherman Kingdom has its own considerations; they have their strategic policies.

From the perspective of the Featherman Kingdom, cooperating is a risk; but by maintaining the status quo, the Featherman Kingdom will only continue to weaken, until one day, they perish with little resistance amidst calamity.

Mu Yuan didn’t want to place his hopes of survival on the enemy’s lack of concern.

He wanted to grasp the future himself.

By eradicating the Jackal Man Tribe, firstly they could harvest a large amount of resources; secondly, they could fight for time—for them, cutting off one eye of the Monster Overlord would effectively buy time. He could seize the initiative.

If the Featherman Kingdom doesn’t join the battle, dealing with the remaining two large tribes would require using one of the remaining 122 contingency plans.
