Chapter 488: Chapter 323: The Tide Has Come (4K)

The effects of Destiny Star Weaving are profoundly mysterious; not to mention that outsiders can’t comprehend it, even if Isloa herself were to describe and explain, it would be very hard for others to understand.

Mu Yuan understood.

At this time, he was called “Little Isloa,” able to faintly perceive the trajectory of destiny stars and threads of fate.

He was very clear about what was happening.

Isloa, by observing the stars, had found destiny threads related to Tianyuan Territory and monster activities. From these, she had locked onto her target within the field of Destiny Star Weaving.

By influencing a certain destiny star, she then interfered with the fate of a Jackal Man, causing their actions to deviate ever so slightly, and then she continuously expanded this deviation.

Perhaps the Jackal Man Scout, until beheaded by ‘Bone Two’ in the dense forest, was regretting his carelessness and bringing incorrect intelligence to Fang of the Jackal Wolf.

This use of Destiny Star Weaving is terrifying indeed!

Of course, the limitations of this talent were also significant, and Mu Yuan noticed them quickly.

“Firstly, the reason Isloa was able to find and subsequently influence this Jackal Man is because of the relevance between the Scout and Tianyuan Territory. The greater the relevance, the easier it is for her to weave destiny; conversely, without any connection, it would be incredibly difficult for Isloa to interfere, and she might not even know where to begin,” Mu Yuan deduced.

“Secondly, the object of interference can’t be too powerful. Interfering with a Four-order Peak Jackal Man, such as this one, is already the limit of what she can do, and it cost her a lot. Such a Jackal Man, in direct combat, wouldn’t last three moves under Isloa’s hands.”

The talent of Destiny Star Weaving provided a negligible boost to Isloa’s Combat Power.

But in other areas, its effect was absolutely potent.

“Before, we weren’t clear on many of the monster wave’s intelligence, and we had to rely on the Featherman Kingdom… The monster routes provided by the Featherman Kingdom were not absolutely reliable. After all, the wilderness is vast, and they have been in seclusion for many years.”

Even the Featherman Kingdom had trouble locating all the monster armies, let alone Tianyuan Territory.

They could only detect the approaching Monster Tide when it reached nearby areas, through various patrol teams and scouts.

But now, with Isloa’s Destiny Star Weaving, they could retroactively deduce the locations of the Monster Tides and lock them down one by one. This tracking method was far superior to the overhead views of Battle Falcons or the detection of Black Crows.

This is “attack”!

Destiny Star Weaving could also be hugely beneficial in “defense,” just like what had happened a moment ago.

After all, unlike Featherman Valley, Tianyuan Territory couldn’t hide inside a different space. Despite multiple layers of concealment, there was still a small chance of exposure.

Now, with Destiny Star Weaving, they could continuously reduce that small probability, pressing it down to almost zero.

“This can be done, right?”

The idea was brilliant, but whether it could be achieved depended on Master Isloa.

Even though Isloa was a 007 chosen worker princess who could do the work of dozens, she couldn’t possibly maintain star observation forever. It was too exhausting, and she wouldn’t be able to handle it even if she drained herself dry.

Mu Yuan was well aware of this.

They had to be clever.

“Of course!” Isloa asserted resolutely.

Now no longer a military general but a mere civil officer, she aimed to perform every possible duty of a civil officer to the extreme. Bodily enhancement, alchemy, star observation, divination, Ritual Track Arrangement… she had to be able to do them and to do them perfectly. Without that level of dedication, how could she maintain her position as the Lord’s right-hand?

“I can set up a ‘Possibility Defense System’ using Destiny Star Weaving. In this way, as soon as there’s a possibility of our territory being discovered by monster scouts, the system will alert us. Then, all we need to do is this and that…”

She mentioned many technical terms.

If a certain general were here, he would probably be dizzy with confusion, but the erudite Lord Shepherd naturally understood, grasping almost ninety percent of it.

He was very satisfied.

As expected from his all-around talent.

…

After Isloa evolved, Mu Yuan and she quickly deduced the general location of the monster armies.

There were currently a total of twelve monster armies.

They were slowly joining forces and charging straight towards Wolf Head Mountain.

Their vast numbers were alarming.

“The scope of Fang of the Jackal Wolf’s territory seems exceptionally large.”

The good news was that Fang of the Jackal Wolf’s headquarters was still quite far from their position.

It’s as if their location was on the borders of two kingdoms, on the fringes, far from the core areas.

The bad news was that with a single command, Fang of the Jackal Wolf could mobilize thousands of troops.

Long marches weren’t easy for monsters, either.

Through Jun’s vision, Mu Yuan saw that during the course of their travel, monsters would occasionally stray from the tide, howling as they pounced into the surrounding forests and disappeared.

Additionally, some monsters would start fighting while on the move; a pair wrestling and biting each other, with blood splattering everywhere.

After all, the majority of monsters lacked intelligence and order.

Fang of the Jackal Wolf could control and command monsters through special means, but it was difficult to maintain this control for long.

However, as the tide surged, High-Rank Jackalwolves pulled more and more monsters from various places. The Monster Tide was moving southward; some dispersed, others joined, with its overall size not diminishing.

Compared to monsters, it was much more difficult for Vitality Forces to undertake long marches—by more than a hundredfold.

Even if a Lord could assemble an army of a hundred thousand, they would encounter one Monster Tide after another during the march, potentially failing to maintain cohesion within a few hundred miles and collapsing in disarray.
