Chapter 1229: Chapter 630: The Country of Corpse Marches, The Battle of Ten Directions Island Domain (5.4K Votes for Monthly Ticket)_3

If not for the strong people from all over coming to aid during the Disaster Moon period, under normal circumstances, Fourth-order Leader Strongmen would be few and far between in a frontline stronghold.

But,

the situation is different in Tianyuan City’s domain.

Setting aside passersby, the Professionals who work and explore here in Tianyuan City are often the experts among Professionals.

Compared to the vast majority of ordinary Professionals, they are experts.

There are not a few Third-order War General level juniors here, and the vast majority of Professionals have their own teams, whether they be trade caravans, adventure groups, or mercenary bands, and these teams are often led by not just one but several Fourth-order Leader Strongmen.

With such strength, Professionals naturally have the confidence to venture out during the Red Moon Disaster to purify the various Lands of Filth.

The Ten Directions Island Domain, adjacent to the Red Mist Land and the birthplaces of the Root of Corruption and the Nest of Filth, is bound to face much more of these than the rear alliance territories. Their eradication of these Lands of Filth also contributes, little by little, to preventing the Ten Directions Island Domain from being corrupted.

Although the main motivation is still profit.

These elite Professionals venture deep into the wilderness in battle groups, purifying the Lands of Filth with greater efficiency, their experience vastly seasoned, with their own methods for locating Corruption.

Often, it’s these Exploratory Teams that find and completely cleanse the Roots of Corruption hidden deep within ravines, guided by subtle clues.

“Red Mist is surging toward the Ten Directions Island Domain, its scale far surpassing that of the neighboring Death Domain.”

Mu Yuan murmured.

He understood the reason. A supreme ruler such as Dragon Sleep Valley had the ability to influence the great tides of the Red Mist.

The more vast the Red Mist, the more severe the erosion of the Ten Directions Island Domain would be.

If left unchecked, if no one purified the Lands of Filth or if the purification was too slow, the entire Ten Directions Island Domain would turn into a Red Mist Region.

To such an extent, it would be comparable to the initial state of the Shattered Isles.

The reason it wouldn’t wholly become a Red Mist Land was the presence of the Tianyuan Territory, an anchor firmly in place.

“However…”

“Nowadays, the Ten Directions Island Domain faces environmental dangers not just from the Disaster Moon itself.”

…

Shortly after, the Tianyuan City Professional Association issued an announcement.

The Association didn’t refuse Professionals from hunting monsters in the wilderness, but advised them not to go too deep and to stay close to the Tianyuan City Defense Circle.

The Tianyuan City Defense Circle now covers a vast area, including the Tianyuan City Main City and the central towns of the World Tunnel, as well as multiple other towns and over twenty frontline transit camps.

Various mines, treasure spots, and the Tianyuan Academy are also within this extensive defense perimeter.

However,

the Radiant City Defense Barrier can only shield Tianyuan City itself, and at best extend slightly beyond, far from covering the entire domain of Tianyuan City.

The defense of Tianyuan City’s domain still relies on conventional means and a few unconventional measures prepared by Lord Shepherd.

It’s good that Professionals wish to hunt monsters.

But for Tianyuan City, the presence of these transient Professionals is even more important.

Thus,

Mu Yuan would even prefer to have more Professionals, more Lords come here.

…

Several hours later,

“The battle in the Death Domain has ended, just as expected.”

“However…”

Mu Yuan cast his gaze into the distance.

Out in the wilderness, Tianyuan City’s elite squads were exploring, searching for Lands of Filth. As soon as one was found, Hero Units like Jun and Xi Liu would quickly arrive and purify it.

Professional teams were even more efficient at purification.

After all, most Professionals have incomplete Lord’s Seals (player marks), and some teams have Lords, have Heroes—discover a Land of Filth and they could purify it.

Further afield, the converging monster tide, large in its target, was early intercepted by Tianyuan City’s strong people.

Like Xie Yi, wielding the great force of guns and artillery, with Infinite Firepower could easily obliterate such tides.

Ice and Frost, working together as Legendary Realm’s Lords of Frost, could also unleash a sky-covering avalanche, freezing and wiping out everything.

Without the interference of top tyrants, the monster tide under the Red Moon, in the eyes of Tianyuan City’s strong people, didn’t even qualify as an appetizer.

“But…”

“How could Dragon Sleep Valley not make a move?”

If before Mu Yuan wasn’t 100% certain, or couldn’t pinpoint the timing, now he was sure that the army from Dragon Sleep Valley was on its way.

The reason for their delay, could it be… related to their setback in the neighboring Death Domain?

Soon, Mu Yuan received a message from the Pioneer Group headquarters.

“An army from Dragon Sleep Valley is passing through the Shattered Isles, clearly targeting your Ten Directions Island Domain.”

“The Shattered Isles Warzone is powerless to stop the army from Dragon Sleep Valley. However, if needed, the Pioneer Group can squeeze out some strongmen to support Tianyuan City.”

The Shattered Isles Warzone had since relocated.

From its original northeastern area of the Shattered Isles to the southwest, close to the Realm Passageway of the Twilight Dominion.

That is, the position where Dragon Sleep Valley’s Vanguard Army had initially occupied and established their base camp.

This area is indeed the foundational land of the Isles. As long as it is held, the Red Mist erosion cannot sink the entire island.

But the fundamental reason for relocating the battle zone is the current disaster, with all regions lacking power, the battle zone can only adopt a defensive stance. And defending is, of course, much easier at one’s own doorstep.

It was at this time.

“Woo-woon~ Woo-woon~ Woo-woon~”

Tianyuan City sounded the third-level alarm.

At the same time, in the wilderness, one outpost after another simultaneously sent out messages.

All the professional teams exploring and fighting in the wilderness were high-level teams, naturally equipped with communication tools, ready to receive information from the rear at any moment.

The communication tools beeped.

“It’s an urgent recall order!”

“The Professional Association has issued an urgent notice; the army from Dragon Sleep Valley is approaching, the wilderness is no longer safe!”

But,

The exploratory teams had just tasted victory; in the past few hours alone, they had purified more Roots of Corruption than in the previous half-month, even a month.

They couldn’t bear to leave!

“With so many exploratory squads, even if the Dragon Sleep Valley army attacks, they wouldn’t care about us small fries, right?”

Some held on to a stroke of luck.

At this moment, another person pointed to the distance and said, “No, look, even the direct lineage battle teams from Tianyuan City are retreating!”

Tianyuan City’s elite squads had ventured deeper into the wilderness, and now they were also retreating at great speed, without hesitation.

Mercenary Group professionals: “…”

“Shall we also make a tactical retreat?”

“Absolutely, we must obey the instructions of the association.”

One team after another headed back.

But before they could return to the Tianyuan Domain, they heard a huge rumble like the sky and earth splitting from a very distant place.

Someone looked, and their pupils instantly shrank, their bodies trembling with fear.

“Heav, heav, heav…”

The sky had collapsed!

To be precise, it was a stretch of the crimson firmament that resembled a backdrop, suddenly plummeting, like a giant tentacle piercing through the land of Ten Directions Island with tremendous force.

Waves of red clouds surged out.
