My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Tianyuan Territory.

Sophia and Duo Lai have already returned, leaving only Gunpowder and five others to continue their apprenticeship on Iron Stone Mountain.

The levels of the six are indeed not high, with Gunpowder being the strongest but only just entering the second-order elite level.

However, they are Gunner Masters, experts in gunnery, which, with the exception of Roy, the others on the mountain are unaware of, simply regarding them as apprentices who came to learn the craft.

Now, there are more than just Gunpowder and the five others apprenticing on Iron Stone Mountain.

Seeing this, a few Lords sent over some apprentices overnight. It's said that a Lord even brought over three hundred apprentices, only to be turned away by Gunner Master Roy with a darkened face.

"Thanks to the backgrounds of Gunpowder and the others, Gunner Master Roy seems to take them quite seriously. They should be able to learn a lot of skills and quickly make up for their own shortcomings."

"With Gunner Master Roy, who is at the Legendary Realm, stationed at Iron Stone Mountain, Gunpowder and the others should be safe as long as they do not leave the mountain."

While this was said, if conditions permitted, Mu Yuan would have dispatched a Legendary Realm powerhouse to be stationed at Iron Stone Mountain.

After all, Gunpowder and the others were too green.

They had already developed self-awareness, and when it came to learning about gunnery, they were leagues ahead of the other apprentices, but in terms of adaptability and quick thinking, they were quite naive.

Mu Yuan's father expressed concerns.

But currently, Tianyuan Territory did not have the resources to regularly dispatch Legendary Realm powerhouses elsewhere. He could only send several fourth-order epic young generals to be stationed at Iron Stone Mountain and establish Tianyuan's own base in the Shen Luo Domain, creating a liaison with the Gemstone Duchy.

He was still too weak.

Not long after returning from the Shen Luo Domain, to the east of Tianyuan City in the semi-mystic realm of Treeman Forest, the tides of heaven and earth suddenly surged, and brilliant rays of will soared into the sky. The entire Treeman Forest swayed and buzzed.

This was Tree Demon Granny making a breakthrough.

The spectacle of its breakthrough was even more exaggerated than Dead Bone's and Duo Lai's.

Mu Yuan was not surprised.

When Duo Lai was at the fourth-order limit, it contained a hundred times more energy than a regular fourth-order limit creature. But the energy contained by Tree Demon Granny at this stage was even more.

After all, Tree Demon Granny's roots were deep in the forest soil, and the vast surrounding forest became a part of its reserves.

"Notification: Your troop 'Tree Demon Granny' has entered the Legendary Realm and is currently undergoing transformation."

In the core territory of Treeman Forest, the huge body of Lord Treeman grew larger and larger, as if an ancient tree reaching into the heavens, stretching across the vast woods.

Even the surrounding trees were influenced by Tree Demon Granny's breakthrough.

The towering trees nearby, as well as the Lord Treemen and War Tree Men guarding it, were visibly growing taller.

The entire semi-mystic realm of Treeman Forest seemed to be expanding further and further out.

This was not as evident.

Tree Demon Granny's size, after entering the Legendary Realm, was still insufficient compared to the vast Treeman Forest.

"My Tianyuan Territory has given birth to a new Legendary Realm."

Mu Yuan was very pleased.

At this time, other Lords would probably be throwing lavish parties to celebrate their Legendary promotions, inviting dear friends, business partners, and neighboring Lords to show off their freshly minted Legendries.

It would also demonstrate their formidable strength.

For Mu Yuan, such a display wasn't necessary; a small celebration with his own people would suffice.

They didn't need a promotion party to prove their worth.

He would rather keep things hidden, to surprise the Monster Overlords at a critical moment. Otherwise, what if they scared the Monster Overlords away?

Duo Lai, Dead Bone, Isloa, Mr. Mu, Lu Liu, Tree Demon Granny.

Tianyuan Territory now had six Legendary Realm powerhouses.

Shouldn't such power be considered reasonable among regional dominating forces?

Many well-known Great Lords have only a few famous Legendary experts under their command.

"But that's just the number on the surface."

"Like my Tianyuan Territory, which only publicly admits to having two great Legendary Realm powerhouses, Duo Lai and Lu Liu."

The actual number is a ratio of one to three compared to the public number.

Mu Yuan felt this ratio was reasonable. No, the ratio was still a bit low; one to six, or even one to ten, would be closer to the truth.

The territory was still not strong enough; they needed to continue working hard.

...

With the birth of a new Legendary Realm, naturally came the responsibilities of being Legendary.

Mu Yuan had plans for Tree Demon Granny, one of which was to handle the defense of the territory—being a rooted troop type, Lord Treeman was inherently better at defending its homeland.

However, Tree Demon Granny's responsibilities were different from Lu Liu's.

Lu Liu was the commander-in-chief of the visible defense forces, in charge of all territorial defense duties.

Tree Demon Granny, beyond commanding the Treeman Troops, did not lead other troop types. Its responsibility lay in the dark or rather, beneath the territory.

Subterranean defense had always been a headache for Mu Yuan.

In battles like the Lord Trial and Red Fog Disaster Moon siege defense, he had suffered from neglecting this aspect.

He had already fortified the land of Tianyuan Territory, thanks to the powers of the Earth Element Series Troops and the epic-level Colossal Rock Dragon Turtle.

These measures could defend against minor creatures but not against real powerhouses.

Usually, only enchantments could provide all-around defense.

Now that Tree Demon Granny had stepped into the Legendary Realm and controlled a Treeman Troop that could extend its roots beneath the entire Tianyuan City, he gave Tree Demon Granny a task—to build an Underground Root Defense Network.

In this way, whether enemies attempted to infiltrate or force their way in, they would directly enter the net of roots.
