Two dayster,
on the territory map, four watchtower icons appeared one by one, dispersing the surrounding war fog and casting spots of light in the vast wilderness.
Mu Yuan projected his vision down over these small territories, overlooking the surroundings.
He couldn''t see very far, after all the territory range opened by the watchtowers was just a few hundred meters in radius. This range wouldn''t expand with the upgrade of the territory level.
However, once the watchtowers were established, the Eye of Heaven of the Staff of Divine Right could project its gaze freely above them.
At the farthest outpost, a huge Frost Giant Dragon was flying out from the mountains, continuously spitting blue frosty Dragon Breath from its mouth, freezing the ground and shattering a monster group that wanted to capture the mine.
Meanwhile, on the mountain, Rakshasa was exerting the power of a hero, marking the locations for defense buildings in appropriate spots and thenmanding dozens of Elites, who had taken on the role of construction workers, to begin working strenuously.
However, there were too few workers.
Merely dozens of construction workers, to build up all the defensive structures, would take at least ten days or half a month.
The Elites still needed to patrol.

The mine had previously been upied by a group of porcupine men, and after Sario defeated them and Rakshasa established the watchtower, the outpost faced several monster assaults within just half a day.
Among them were Third-order Monsters.
"The existence of the Monster Tribe can cause the surrounding monster groups to tremble and avoid them from afar, but the presence of a Vitality Force, the existence of miracle territories, will only attract nearby monsters with greater ferocity."
To monsters, living beings were like fine brew, an irresistible Temptation.
Just like the founding of Tianyuan Territory, as time went by and the territory''s infrastructure grew, it was bound to attract the attention of more, stronger monster groups.
Even with the presence of a Giant Dragon like Sario, it was not enough to deter the vast majority of unintelligent monsters.
"The fundamental issue of the manpower shortage is theck of transport tools."
"Tianyuan Territory Citizens can''t travel thousands of kilometers to work in Treasure Sand Ridge, even with Elite Warriors escorting them."
"For the time being, can we only let a batch of self-aware Elites act as miners? That would be a huge waste."
Mu Yuan mulled over the problem.
He walked into the City Lord''s Mansion and found Isloa, "My omnipotent... expert, I have a challenging task for you. Construct severalrge airships, or develop a kind of alchemy golem for mining, which do you think is more appropriate?"
Large vehicles could transport miners.
Alchemy golems? They were even more convenient.
Golems without life could be packed into spatial equipment, so Duo Lai could transport all the mining golems back and forth in just one trip.
So think of a solution, Isloa.
Isloa''s face showed dismay, "Neither is suitable!"
She added, "Of course, I am notcking the ability as an expert. Designing a mining golem isn''t too difficult, but the design and subsequent manufacturing would take at least a couple of months under noplications."
"Lord, you wouldn''t want all the official documents piling up on your desk for these two months, would you?"
Mu Yuan: "..."
He indeed did not want that.
He could wander about... observing strategically, gathering Tai Xuan intelligence, and trading with other Lords, why? Because he had the diligent Isloa behind him.
True to form, she initiallyined about the workload andck of staff, but gradually she seemed to have grown ustomed to it.
Indeed, the power of habit is great.
Isloa was also aware of the difficulties faced by the various mining points, and after thinking it over, she said, "Actually, there is a way. Didn''t we just obtain arge number of Alliance Contribution Points? We could use those to exchange for a few airships simr to the X-II model, andter on, have Daisy and others who are out bring them back."
"That does seem feasible."
Vehicles that could freely fly through dangerous wilderness started at the Excellence quality level.
And since they were medium torge vehicles, their prices were quite exorbitant, often several times, even tens of times the price of Excellence equipment. Not only were these prices expensive, but they were also hard toe by.
— Soul Crystals alone would hardly suffice to buy them, but using Tai Xuan Contribution Points, it was no longer an issue.
Mu Yuan had nced at them before.
He had contemted exchanging items of suchrge scale. However, at that time, he had no Contribution Points, and since Tianyuan City was located within the Ten Directions Ind domain, cut off from the Alliance, even if he could ce an order, he would not be able to receive it.
— Medium torge vehicles... no, even a small aircraft like the Mechanical Dragonflights could hardly be packed into spatial equipment, naturally, it couldn''t be traded through the Secret Realm.
The highest-grade spatial equipment that Mu Yuan had ever seen could hold space that wasn''t even one percent of what Duo Lai''s Dimensional Pocket could.
Airships had to rely on door-to-door delivery, or you had to fetch them yourself.
The Tianyuan Caravan just happened to be going on a long journey, and having them bring the airships back would kill two birds with one stone.
"Besides airships, we also need to outfit ourselves with some ordinary vehicles. These types of vehicles we could manufacture ourselves, but it wouldn''t be cost-effective."
As Isloa spoke, she added, "In addition, I also rmend purchasing these, these, and these..."
It was as if she had been prepared, pulling out a list.
Mu Yuan took it and looked it over from top to bottom.
What''s with all these instruments and equipment?
He employed the City Lord''s scrutinizing gaze.
Isloa counteracted with an unwavering expression, doubling the resistance effect.
Both sides were at a standoff, and neither was defeated.
