My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The dawn light outside the window was faint, and Lord Shepherd awoke in his own bedroom.

Pulling back the curtains, he greeted a bright new day.

"These days, the quality of sleep has really been good. No longer do I have to worry about being jolted awake by an alarm while resting with my eyes closed."

There were still dangers lurking in the wilderness. The remnants of the Orochi clan might cause trouble at any moment, but compared to the early days when Tianyuan City had no one in the Legendary Realm to stand guard, where they could only hide tremulously from the Monster Overlord, fearing that the city would be breached the moment they closed their eyes, now...

It was dozens of times more secure.

Mu Yuan stretched out his hand, and particles of water elements from nature converged in front of him, forming a clear sphere of water suspended in mid-air.

He plunged half his face into the sphere of water, then snapped his fingers lightly, and the whole sphere began to buzz and swirl as if it were a washing machine.

Instantly, he was clean and refreshed, with not a trace of sleepiness left.

A flick of Mu Yuan's fingers caused the sphere to retract and then shoot forward, whooshing into the washroom in the distance.

He dried his face with wind and fire, then reached out to summon over the hanging dove-white robe. Mu Yuan spread his arms wide, spun around twice in mid-air, and when he landed, he had donned his daily Excellence-grade robe.

This was battle gear.

Indeed, it had only been a few peaceful days. Otherwise, he would have been resting in his clothes, and the number of times he had come back to his bedroom for rest over the past few months were few and far between.

"I really am diligent. My achievements today are all thanks to my own hard work."

Mu Yuan stepped out of the bedroom.

This area behind the City Lord's Mansion was for rest, living, and entertainment, quiet and serene. The front half contained the offices.

Between the front and back sections, an Enchantment of Silence was supposed to be erected, to ensure the living area was undisturbed.

Mu Yuan didn't activate it; he was worried about missing some noise during his rest, which could lead to oversights.

He walked along the well-lit corridor towards the front, and then down to the first floor was the dining hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The domestic maids had already served breakfast.

They were dressed in traditional black and white dresses, but the hem of the skirts faintly shimmered with a metallic luster, edged with extendable blades. Mu Yuan remembered clearly that the back of this "maid outfit" could pull out a combined scythe, and it was also concealed with at least two or three short daggers. After all, he had personally reviewed the design and approval of this gear.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

——Armed Maid Battle Uniform.

In the Eternal Continent, there indeed existed a troop type called 'Armed Maid,' rated as a rare Two-star.

Isloa had referenced that troop's standard gear and, building on that, designed an enhanced version.

Suddenly, a mental transmission came through.

Mu Yuan connected.

The assistant, Mo Li, on the other end said, "You have new documents, please process them in a timely manner. There are a total of 39."

"Ah..."

Isn't it just after four o'clock?

But since the documents ready for review had already been brought over, this only meant that his own assistant had started even earlier, toiling by lamplight.

Fine.

Mu Yuan glanced at the dining table, grabbed a few dragonfish crystal dumplings, picked up a plate of honey sauce phoenix claws and a box of fairy lotus pastries, and started eating as he walked toward the front area of the City Lord's Mansion.

With a nutritious meal consumed, Mu Yuan naturally operated his Mystery Skill to absorb the nourishment.

By the time he arrived at his office, he was almost fully digested.

With morning cultivation finished, next was the grueling work time.

Mu Yuan loaded the Isloa template, and with a series of bangs, materialized three Starlight Avatars, each taking their place, and started processing the dizzying pile of documents with swift motions.

"Lord, there's a matter of some importance here."

Mo Li came over and said, "Lady Isloa has tallied the currently discovered resource sites and has ultimately marked these three sites as the first batch for transfer."

"They are one small Soul Sand Mine; one small grove of Six-Color Elemental Fruits; and one beginner-level Breakthrough Material minefield."

"The Reconnaissance Corps discovered a medium-sized Soul Sand Vein within a large tribe under Orochi's rule—half of its reserves still intact. However, Lady Isloa judged that Tianyuan City is not yet capable of transferring a medium-sized Soul Sand Mine, so it was set aside for now."

Mu Yuan nodded slightly.

He had naturally discussed this matter with Isloa, Dead Bone, and others earlier. He had asked Isloa to see if she could come up with a viable plan.

Now it seemed there was no issue.

Mine transfer refers to the method of using Great Power to transfer mines, relocating them within one's own territory.

This method is not too uncommon; many lords have used it—referring to hiring others for the transfer. The benefits of relocating mines close to their own cities are obvious.

But as easy as it may sound, it's naturally not that simple.

"The basic requirement is possessing the Power of Heaven and Earth characteristic of the Legendary Realm, and on top of that, at least three or four Legends must act together, along with corresponding plans and equipment."

Such conditions are insurmountable for most lords. Their domains couldn't even nurture a single person in the Legendary Realm; where would they get a team of Legends to wield Great Power?

But this was not a problem.

Within the Tai Xuan Alliance, many large groups provided such 'mine transfer' services to the outside world.

If a lord lacks financial resources and is unable to afford the expensive service fees? That too is not a problem, as large groups compassionately offer loan services or financing services, with the cost offset by a portion of the mine's share.

"How utterly considerate, hehe."
