Tian Yuan City entered a state of wartime readiness.
"Woooo—"
The horn sounded.
Word arrived that, before Sophia even entered the Shattered Island Domain to investigate the situation, the first batch of Tian Yuan City's elite forces had already assembled.
Led by Sario, they headed for the western breach of the Ten Directions Island Domain to defend it.
That was Tian Yuan speed.
After Sophia confirmed the situation, Lu Liu led the second batch of reinforcements to support the observation outpost.
The outpost would also be expanded and upgraded into a frontline fortress.
After all, if they wanted to stop the spread of the Red Mist, they had to intercept the enemy directly at the breach. Using strategic depth to annihilate the enemies one by one was no longer feasible.
They could annihilate the enemies, but the Red Mist would still surge outward.
At the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Yuan spread out the map.
On the left was a long, narrow region of pale red that looked like a brand. That was the Energy Raging Land. At the center of this region was a pitch-black hole representing the passageway—the breach.
Tian Yuan City's observation outpost had been established on an inconspicuous barren mountain outside the Raging Land.
Mu Yuan took out ten white pieces and placed them one by one in various locations on the map, forming a semicircle around the breach.
Several of the white pieces even landed within the pale-red branded area.
"We need to build a watchtower camp at each of these ten locations. Only then can we completely contain the spread of the Red Mist. After all, the Raging Land will also be corroded by the Red Mist... Isroya, how many watchtower blueprints do we have left in our territory?"
"Eleven. We need to purchase more.
