My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

After Jun saved a Frontier Lord, this mountain-like filthy life form was swiftly beheaded.

"It's actually not a life form."

"Influence by filth, dead matter can turn into living beings. And these filthy creations have completely merged with the surrounding Red Mist environment, making them indistinguishable until they truly come alive. None of us could tell apart."

Even though this place isn't the real Red Mist Land, it still possesses some of the characteristics of the Red Mist Land.

Mountains, rivers, and the earth are also eroded, turning into indescribable monsters, which is one of them.

The regions of the Red Mist are more dangerous than imagined.

"That's my fault," the Green Mountain Lord said, "I underestimated the dangers of the Red Mist region."

Of all the powerful figures present, the Green Mountain Lord had more experience indeed; he had entered the Red Mist Land multiple times.

The Rain Dust Lord, Sword Saint Tianhe, and Lord Fuchao, these formidable individuals, had also ventured into the Red Mist regions for battles, albeit a handful of times.

Mu Yuan was a greenhand just like Lord Long Tian.

This time, it was his first entry into the Red Mist region in a strict sense.

Sophia had been in the Shattered Isles for several days, exploring around, except that she didn't step into the southern part of the isles, which hosted the largest island.

That was the enemy's stronghold.

Despite having covered much ground in her measurements, she hadn't encountered a situation like today's.

"It was a lapse in my scouting," Sophia said via mental communication.

Mu Yuan seemed to see her hang her head, utterly dejected.

"This isn't your fault."

He said, "This means as long as our level of concealment is sufficient, we won't attract the attention of these weird monsters."

But their positions consisted of several dozen individuals this time; they couldn't completely hide their presence.

They could only respond with more careful and cautious attitudes.

Mu Yuan looked around at the distant mountains whose shapes were all bizarre, like monsters showing their fangs and claws, with striking brownish-red lines resembling blood trickling down from the peaks.

Naturally, among these mountains, rivers, and the earth, only a very few underwent changes and fell into being filthy creations.

Mu Yuan kept Jun in a ready-to-strike state and had Sophia stay vigilant at all times. Xie Yi, who possessed long-range bombardment abilities, also watched the distance, ready to fire a critical shot at any moment to assist their allies.

However, each of the legends in the position group was carefully chosen and not so frail.

After being on guard, several weaker Frontier Lords quickly adapted to the environment of the Red Mist region. Since they truly couldn't detect the filth-transformed land, they used their own methods—whether setting up bait, accumulating transfer skills, or anticipating through subtle changes.

There were indeed a few overly cautious moments, battling wits with the air, suddenly making a mid-air swerve and dodging thousands of meters away. But nobody found it preposterous; being overly cautious was always better than carelessness and losing one's life.
Stay tuned to empire

The position group soon reached the first location.

Selected by Sophia, it was a place where the Red Mist was less dense.

But they still needed to survey the ley lines of the area and some heaven and earth factors he couldn't fully explain.

Mu Yuan took out a twig emanating a faint golden glow and inserted it into the earth.

Green Mountain and Rain Dust, both Vice Commanders, each also took out a similar twig and performed similar actions in the distance.

Silken red threads climbing onto the twig collided and intertwined with the golden glow above.

The golden light seemed to be reluctantly retreating.

Rain Dust said, "It's still slightly lacking."

Mu Yuankai spoke up, "We'll head to the second area immediately."

Sophia led the way.

Within the vast area shrouded by Red Mist, all directions seemed filled with filth, and even after one previous exploration, one could still get lost again.

Sophia, who had a Black Crow to guide her, was untroubled by this.

She had already left three Nether Ravens at each spot where the Red Mist was thin, as anchors for orientation.

The position group swiftly arrived at the second area; this time...

The golden light wasn't pushed back by the red lines but rather seemed to be in a position to suppress them.

"This area meets the criteria! I didn't expect us to find a suitable area so quickly!" Green Mountain clenched his fist in excitement.

This meant that the first strategic step had been achieved.

However...

Rain Dust stared at the golden twig and suddenly spoke up, "Thanks to Lord Tianyuan's detailed exploration in the early phase, we have moved far faster than expected, which also means we still have time. Perhaps we can find an area even more suitable for establishing our position."

She looked towards Tianyuan and Green Mountain.

The Green Mountain Lord's expression was conflicted.

Mu Yuan pulled out the golden twig, "That's exactly what I think. If a region is more closely connected to the will of the Eternal World, the more benefits we can gain after establishing our position."

"Establishing the position is only the first step. We still need to hold our ground in the Red Mist region, cut off the reinforcements from Dragon Sleep Valley, and even push back and crush the enemy. That's our ultimate strategic goal. To achieve this, we need to enact every step to the utmost."

Within the allocated time.

The Green Mountain Lord sighed, "Alright, if both of you think so."

He wasn't strongly opposed.

This was why he didn't want to be the main commander.

A decision that could affect countless comrades, a war zone, a Great Domain... making such decisions were too difficult; he wasn't resolute enough.

At this moment, Mu Yuan was communicating with Sophia.

In his mind, he pictured the dozens of alternative locations Sophia had provided.

These were areas where the Red Mist was thinner.

However, it wasn't always the case that the thinner the Red Mist, the more suitable the area.
