Chapter 463: Chapter 312: Soul Shrine (4K)

The war against the Jackal Man tribe had ended.

The Tianyuan Legion packed the large amount of materials they had scavenged and loaded them into General Duo Lai’s body, into the nearly infinite Dimensional Space inside him.

They did not need to make several trips back and forth; they could directly bring all the loot home.

The thing that took up most of their time was the post-battle cleanup and loot collection.

The whole process took a full three hours.

The Jackal Man tribe was large, and the various types of materials were not stored in a unified manner, which made it inconvenient for the elites of the Tianyuan Territory to collect them.

Picking up Soul Sand and Remnant Souls scattered on the ground and feeding the corpses and debris to the Sacrificial Black Coffin were both time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks.

If it were any other Lord, even a Great Lord with deep resources and strong military might, these cleaning and sweeping tasks could not be completed within three to four hours.

A Great Lord might be able to bring out thousands of elites and form two or three Complete Troop Legions, but…

Most of their elite troops had not yet developed intelligence, or at best, possessed a tiny bit of intelligence, roughly equivalent to mental retardation. Such elites had strong combat power but could not perform delicate tasks.

They could not do what the Tianyuan Territory was capable of: killing chaotically on the battlefield above, and rummaging below to pick up Soul Sand and drag bodies for gathering and mining.

What is called the full awakening of self-awareness.

While cleaning the battlefield, Mu Yuan also guarded against movements from other Monster powers. In his contingency plans, the worst-case scenario would be if one or two or even more from the Legendary Realm were to attack soon.

For this reason, he prepared to give up part of the loot and also placed several Scouting Falcons in several key areas along the way, which might be sacrificed at any moment.

But no such situations occurred.

Several hours after the battle, apart from Jun capturing two spies from the Featherman Kingdom, there were no traces of Monster power scouts.

Scout soldiers stationed far away from the second Jackal Man Tribe and the Kobold Tribe brought back messages.

“Jackal Man Tribe No. 2, all as usual.”

“Am I being too cautious, overestimating the enemy?”

Mu Yuan stroked his chin, pondering.

Dead Bone stroked his chin and said, “The enemy must be plotting a grand scheme that we are unaware of, dangerous, too dangerous.”

Having returned to their territory, Isloa quickly began a detailed inventory and statistics of the materials.

Which materials were needed in large quantities by the Tianyuan Territory now or in the near future; which materials were less likely to be used by the Tianyuan Territory and could be sold…

All these required detailed statistics and planning.

This work should have been the Lord’s, but Isloa was too capable; she not only became more proficient as she worked, with her rich experience, but also had a skill advantage. She could easily store and calculate data using the Starlight Law Sphere and with the Starlight Avatar, she could do the work of several, even dozens of people on her own.

But Lord Shepherd was also very busy.

Eradicating a mere Jackal Man Tribe was just the beginning for the Tianyuan Territory; it was the start of the Tianyuan’s grand strategy.

Whether the Tianyuan Territory could stand firm in this area depended on the next few steps.

“The Eye of Heaven is still cooling down; at this time, attacking the other two large tribes is somewhat risky… and, the consumption of the two large legions and the various Lords from this battle has also been quite substantial.”

Aside from no casualties, no Lord used their ultimate move, and no Large-scale Magic or other such methods were used in this battle, the Tianyuan Territory had given it their all.

Continuing to fight would not be appropriate.

Of course, the other two large tribes were quite far from the Tianyuan Territory; even if the second Jackal Man Tribe conducted a carpet-like search, it would still take them about eight or six days to get to the Tianyuan Territory.

Great Lord Shepherd was not in a hurry.

They still had some loose ends to tie up, like…

Two hours later,

Mu Yuan, Dead Bone, Duo Lai, and a few other Lords appeared in a dense forest, their eyes looking into the distance.

Gaze—

There, a gray, dusty shrine was faintly visible. Surrounding the shrine was a camp of modest size, disguised and hidden in the mountains and forests. Inside the camp, tall Jackal Men could be seen patrolling back and forth.

These Jackal Men remained calm and normal, showing no signs of angry unrest from their home being destroyed.

An utterly oblivious demeanor.

“It looks like the Monster power doesn’t have many communication devices in their possession,” Mu Yuan reasoned.

Previously when Dead Bone, Duo Lai, and others launched a surprise attack on the Jackal Man chieftain, one of the strategic goals was to cut off the link between the Jackal Man Tribe and the Overlord Power.

After the battle, they also found two or three items that seemed to be communication equipment.

Mu Yuan destroyed them, as well as some other suspicious objects inside the Jackal Man Tribe.

Now that this small Jackal Man camp had not received any message, did it mean that the Jackal Man Overlord was also unaware of the battle situation? To be determined.

“There aren’t many communication devices within the Tai Xuan Alliance either, but they aren’t as scarce.”

He carefully recalled that communication devices seemed to be quite rare.

In the Tianyuan Territory, after purifying many Roots of Corruption, removing Monster camps and Monster Tribes, not a single communication device was looted.

The communication devices he possessed were either auxiliary tools given by Liu Miumiu and Jiang Luoxing or sets purchased from Shiling Town.

Such as the Gemini Pearl, Communication Legal Mirror, Dialogue Notebook, and so on.

The supplier from Shiling Town also imported their merchandise from other regions.
