My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

"Judging by the size of the city, Tianyuan City is still a young territory. Perhaps, it has only been established for a few short years?"

Gemstone Grand Duke inwardly gasped in shock and suddenly found himself reminiscing about the past.

In his youth, he too had been an ambitious lord, full of pioneering spirit.

The location he chose for establishing the Gemstone Domain was also at the edge of civilized world, facing the wilderness head-on.

Because of this, he had remarkable military achievements and rose rapidly through the ranks.

But now, he only wished for stability, presented with another chance for a promotion that required him to face a Monster Overlord, he feared...

He would refuse.

In a place like Tianyuan City, where the Lord possessed countless resource lands and Division Generals advanced swiftly... there could also be calamities from time to time. The slightest oversight could lead to total destruction.

Advancement was quick, but the fall could be just as rapid.

He was already a man of status and position, and to risk it all again... It wasn't that he dared not, but rather, it was not worth it.

"What is that over there?"

Gemstone Grand Duke suddenly gazed into the distance.

His vision easily surpassed two city blocks, keenly spotting a group of Tianyuan City's elites who were gradually converging.

"Merely some scouts of the Monster Overlords,"

Mu Yuan said.

He used the Lord's View to look down from above, seeing more clearly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The patrol teams and the defense legions had sealed off the target district and were closing in circle by circle.

Lu Liu and Isloa followed Lainey, following the Holy Seal floating and twinkling in her hand, sweeping forward step by step.

White light of purification showered down, falling on hundreds of Territory Citizens.

They revealed no abnormalities, but their spirits became more invigorated, and the fatigue and hidden injuries within their bodies seemed to be wiped clean. People shouted Lainey the Saintess's name, praising the Saintess, praising the Lord.

Lainey's expression, however, grew more solemn.

The flickering of the Holy Seal became more frequent, the rapid tick-tick-tick signaling a warning.

When she propelled the Purification Power and sprinkled it once more on a nearby unremarkable man, wisps of black smoke suddenly erupted from him.

The black smoke wasn't obvious, but the Holy Seal quickly captured this strand of impurity.

Such strong impurity!

It had to be purified!

A strand of Holy Light burst forth from the Holy Seal, and in an instant, the man's features and skin began to bulge and wriggle. Dense black smoke continuously billowed out, shooting upward into the sky.

The surrounding Territory Citizens ran out in fright, tumbling and scrambling.

In the hissing black smoke, a strange laugh "kekekeke" abruptly sounded.

A being with no distinct face stood under the Holy Light, shrouded in the powers of red and black.

"To be able to dispel my disguise, your power, I will take it!"

The Faceless Ones excelled at erosion and disguise, their direct combat ability inferior to others of the same rank.

If his identity had been revealed in the combat zone of the Tai Xuan Alliance, he would've fled tactically long ago. But this is just a small town, what did it matter if he was exposed?

Their infiltrating and life-saving abilities as Faceless Ones were top-notch.

He felt he could still fight.

To create a grand disturbance and leave gallantly—that was the sort of feat the Faceless Ones ought to have!

Illusory faces emerged around him, the might of the Legendary Realm rapidly spreading.

Gemstone Grand Duke's expression tensed.

This was the reason he did not want to take risks!

A Legendary Realm infiltrator had already entered the city, and just a little bit of collateral damage could destroy several blocks.

To strike it could mean killing a thousand enemies while hurting oneself three hundred.

What would Lord Tianyuan do?

He looked towards Tianyuan. The young lord was simply watching quietly, his indifferent eyes treating it as a dead object, devoid of any ripples.
