Chapter 736 The Successive Sirens (4K)_2
Suddenly,
"Di-di-di, di-di-di—"
Not far away, a storage locker was lit with indicator lights, and an alert tone sounded continuously.
Another message?
Orange quickly glanced over, "Locker number 17, from Mine 04, the one that mainly produces Sharp Crystals."
The three of them continued to fetch their keys, swiped them, and the storage locker opened accordingly.
Orange took out a communication device that looked like a Treasure Bead.
Misha carried on transmitting messages using the Web of Spirit.
At this moment,
"Di-di-di—"
"Di-di-di—"
Another alert tone went off, this time much more urgent.
Two alert tones overlapped.
"Locker number 11, from the Meditation Statue Camp."
"Locker number 21, from the Cat People Tribe's number nine mining zone."
"This, this, why all of a sudden..."
Under normal circumstances, the messenger area wouldn't receive many messages in an entire day.
Orange had even complained that the work was too simple and couldn't shine like others.
However, the messenger area's work could also become urgent.
And now was such a time.
The sound of di-di-di was like raindrops hitting the ground, becoming more and more urgent.
It was like a rainstorm that was about to pour down.
...
Tianyuan City, the reception hall.
Mu Yuan actually received the messages earlier than the messenger area did.
As soon as several mining outposts came under attack—that is, when the territory was invaded—the panel's alert tones rang out like bells.
But for areas like the Observation Base, and the mines leased by the Cat People and the Feathermen, he had to wait for the messenger area's staff to convey the information to him.
The existence of the messenger area was also a contingency plan.
The Web of Spirit was convenient and fast, but Mu Yuan would not rely on it completely.
He looked towards the two Legendary Realm beings, "There seems to be some trouble; the Monster Overlord probably has launched a real assault."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the communication devices carried by the Elf Milena and the Giant Frost King started to tremble.
They channeled their spiritual power into them and their expressions changed slightly.
"To act at such a time..."
"Our Giant Ridge has three mining camps that have come under attack at roughly the same time."
"Our Natural Garden also has three mining camps under attack, the situation is still not clear, and I must go back to take charge of the situation."
"The same goes for me," said the King of Frost.
Mu Yuankai spoke, "Then I won't keep you two, be careful of enemy ambushes and contact me immediately if anything happens."
Before they left, the Elf Milena asked, "And the situation at Tianyuan City?"
Mu Yuan replied, "From the information I have so far, all outposts have come under attack, but the strength of the attacking enemies varies. I have already arranged for reinforcements."
Seeing the still calm and collected expression of the City Lord of Tianyuan, Milena and the King of Frost couldn't help but admire him.
Any discerning person could tell that Tianyuan City was the one under the most pressure.
Perhaps this was the essence of the City Lord of Tianyuan.
Mu Yuan's calmness came from confidence.
What he didn't say out loud was that not only the Orochi Clan and the Black Crow Clan had started their assaults but also in the west of Tianyuan City, there was a disturbance in the Great Blood Tree Forest.
Countless Blood Trees were growing wildly and spreading.
The entire Great Blood Tree Forest was expanding, like a gigantic maw, nibbling away at Tianyuan City's territory bit by bit.
Surrounded on three sides, the storm was fierce.
Yet, Tianyuan City was no longer the small boat wavering in a storm it once was.
His calmness was grounded in a solid foundation.
From the six Tianyuan Powerhouses, three Epic Miracle Buildings, and as a Legendary Life, Dead Bone.
Moreover...
"Panic and haste will only lead to a loss of reason, and if something really goes wrong, panicking is useless anyhow."
Mu Yuan had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
Now he was contemplating whether the enemies launching a full-scale attack at this moment meant they had a 'definite' killer move against Tianyuan City.
What could this killer move be?
What is usually the trump card for the Fallen God Force?
If there was an accident, what are the possibilities?
While he pondered, one command after another was issued.
"Proceed according to the contingency plan."
...
In the farthest location from Tianyuan City, a mid-sized Soul Sand mining outpost.
Inside and outside the outpost, there was an unceasing sound of gunfire and roaring.
From afar, the massive shadows of war machines could be seen moving through the dust, and thousands of elite monsters surged out from the surrounding forests.
Uta burst into the horde of monsters, swinging punch after punch without respite.
The flurry of his fists raised clouds of blood mist.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and no monster could withstand a punch from Uta, including what seemed to be very formidable war machines.
"Too weak, too weak," he sighed, charging back and forth.
Frost Giant Dragon Sario hovered in the sky, surveying the terrain below.
It did not take action.
Uta's efficiency in dealing with the lesser foes was actually not as high as its own, but even so, it firmly curtailed the enemy's advance. The enemy seemed fierce only in appearance, but in reality, they were vulnerable.
Sario knew all too well, any life below legendary in front of Uta was vulnerable.
Even it could not suffer a few "Serious Punches" from Uta, let alone mere monsters.
Vulnerability was normal.
At first, it didn't see anything amiss, but gradually, Sario fell into contemplation.
"Looking closely, these war machines are at most sixty meters class, whereas, if I remember correctly, the main war machines of the Monster Overlord are of the hundred-meter class."
"These monsters appear ferocious, but in reality, there don't seem to be many Third-order or Four-order ones."
"Something's not right, this is very wrong."
"Wait, could it be that the enemy is merely feigning an attack, aiming to tie down Uta here? I've heard that other mines have also been attacked, and Uta's the man with a record of slaying legends."
The more Sario thought, the more it believed it had discerned the truth.
Right or wrong, Uta, who had defeated it, Lord Sario, the number one under the legends, was wasting his time here fighting minions.
Sario quickly sent a message to Uta.
Uta replied.
"What about here?"
"I, Lord Sario, will hold this mine."
"Brother, I'll leave it to you."
Uta gave Sario a thumbs-up, then tore through the horde of monsters, raising a dust storm as he vanished from Sario's sight.
Hey hey, don't you think you're being a bit rude?

To the north of Tianyuan City, somewhere.
The Cat Person Mine.
"The enemy is about to break through, meow."
"Quick, go ask for Tianyuan powerhouses!"
"Messenger, sir, look..."
A robust figure emerged, stepping to the forefront of the defensive line.
Stay updated via empire
"I've already notified the city, and reinforcements will soon arrive. All we have to do now is hold out, hold out until they get here."
Countless monsters roared below, their massive and ferocious forms casting shadows.
And the robust figure raised his tower shield,
A golden giant rose from before him, and a golden celestial shield, resplendent as the Great Sun, unfolded, "I will stand with you and fight until the final moment."
This was Tianyuan City's envoy! A Tianyuan City powerhouse!
On the mountains, the roars of the Cat People rose loud and clear.
...
Featherman Mine, Blaze Lion Mine.
One mine after another was successively attacked.
The most heavily besieged were the mines under Tianyuan City's own jurisdiction. Except for the medium-sized Soul Sand Mines and other special resource locations, signs of the Legendary Realm appeared everywhere.
Around the same time.
To the northeast of Tianyuan City, a rather desolate area.
A small but exceptionally elite and powerful team arrived here.
Around them lay thousands of Jackal Men.
A middle-aged man in a golden robe shattered a rock with a wave of his hand and crumbled the fragments between his fingers.
If Mu Yuan were here, he would recognize this middle-aged man as familiar.
It was the Duke Gold who repeatedly attempted to recruit the Gunner Master Roy from the neighboring Great Domain.
"It's Starlight Sand."
The Duke said.
"Although the reserves are not ample, extraction of the whole will still be a considerable fortune. Moreover, on our journey here, we've discovered more than one such vein, all unclaimed... Clearly..."
"This island is an undeveloped treasure realm without a Monster Overlord and incredibly fertile! What's that? You say there's already a Vitality Force here on the island? Hey, what does that matter? The waters are deep in the Great Domain. Such a little Vitality Force can't manage it, only our Golden Commonwealth can..."
Boom—
A beam of light struck from the distance.
The Duke's chief guard drew his sword to intercept it.
Dust and smoke billowed.
A legendary monster soared high in the sky, looking down upon Duke Gold and his party with eyes that beheld prey.
Behind the monster legend, a legion of tens of thousands of flying monsters loomed like a towering black cloud, overwhelming them.
Duke Gold: "???"
Wasn't this island both fertile and safe, an undeveloped realm?
If there are monster legends, Monster Overlords, why was there no tribe guarding this mine?
Were they baiting with fishing tactics!
Duke Gold's face turned ashen.
