After Xu Qianghua ended the meeting, all the elders and Yan Yuehua left the room as they went to give the orders to the required people.
This caused the silent Xu family to churn its mighty gears into action.
Everyone knew that when the Xu family moved, the world paid attention, and this situation would be no different.
The first order of business was to publish the task notice across all the continents, as Xu Qianghua wanted the whole world to know what was happening.
Otherwise, this incident will repeat itself with the other continents, which is not something he wants to see.
So, using the extensive network set up by the Shadow members, the mission was quickly drafted and sent to the adventurer guild in the central cities of each continent.
As this will make the mission appear in every other adventurer branch across the continent.
Within hours, announcements began appearing on the mission boards of major cities in every continent.
Mission Announcement:
Mission: Hunt and capture poachers attempting to infiltrate the Southern Continent.
Objective: Kill all the poachers that plan to invade the Southern Continent and kidnap innocents.
Reward: Cultivation resources and corresponding weapons to the cultivation realm of the poacher killed.
Location: Southern Continent
Notes: This mission is open to cultivators and adventurers, but it is recommended to do this mission in teams as the poachers usually travel as a team.
The mission quickly caught the attention of adventurers worldwide. In the bustling cities of the Western, Northern, and Eastern Continents, groups of cultivators gathered around the mission boards, reading the newly posted notice.
The adventurer guilds buzzed with activity. Each one was surprised by the mission, as this was the first mission posted by the Xu family.
He reached out, touched the token, and listened carefully to the orders relayed directly from the family head.
The Southern Continent needed a military presence, but not in full force. A single branch from the legion would be dispatched to secure and patrol the region, preventing any large-scale incursions.
It was a simple mission as they were not the main fighting force—it was more of a deterrent, a show of strength to those who dared to use large-scale attacks.
Once the message ended, Xu Cheng stood up, his sharp eyes narrowing as he considered which branch to send.
He knew his legion well; they were some of the best-trained soldiers in the world, each one capable of handling situations most others would run from.
But this mission was unique—they were not to be the dominant force but rather a guardian in the background.
With a swift motion, he summoned his four branch commanders.
Each of them led a force of a million soldiers, and all were equally competent. But he would leave it to them to decide who would take this mission.
A few minutes later, the four branch commanders gathered in the command room.
Each one was a powerful cultivator in their own right, representing different specialties within the legion. They stood in a semi-circle, facing Xu Cheng, waiting for his command.
"Commander Wu, Commander Zhi, Commander Huang, and Commander Lin," Xu Cheng began, his voice strong and commanding, "We've been tasked with sending a branch to the Southern Continent.
The mission is to patrol and secure the area, preventing any large-scale poaching or incursions.
This is a long-term assignment where we will not be the main force, but our presence will be vital. Who among you wishes to take this mission?"
The branch commanders exchanged glances. Commander Zhi, a towering woman with a fierce reputation for her strike first ask later, was the first to speak.
"Commander, leave this mission to my branch as we are the oldest," Commander Zhi said, her tone thoughtful.
"The soldiers under my command can handle this situation without any problems, as we have trained for these kinds of missions before."
Commander Wu, known for his tactical flexibility, shook his head. "No, the soldiers under you are just like you, who like to be the front-line force compared to the backup force, which is what the mission is about."
