Chapter 487 Post-War, A Visitor from the Undead Race (4K)
The Lord of Green Mountain finally found someone under Lord Tianyuan who could take charge.
A woman, who called herself "Dark Crow," claimed to be the shadow of her own lord.
This division general from Tianyuan was not entirely unfamiliar to Green Mountain.
Initially, when they entered the Shattered Isles, it was this mysterious woman who led the way.
She was evidently a legendary figure, skilled not only in combat.
"Lord Tianyuan's subordinates are indeed full of capable people,"
He wasn't sure how many times he had expressed such sentiment, and the more he thought about it, the more envious he became.
After the battle, there were still numerous affairs to handle.
The tallying of casualties, the assessment of losses in the battle zone.
Moreover, there was the collection, organization, and distribution of war spoils.
Apart from Heaven and Earth's Gift, the Soul Sand and rare materials extracted from monster corpses accumulated to a considerable fortune.
This too was one of the war's harvests.
Each Frontier Territory and Pioneer Group would distribute these spoils based on their respective contributions.
In this battle, each territory and team's awards were also granted based on their contribution ratios. However, teams with elites, generals, or members who had sacrificed would receive an additional sum of condolence money.
Like the Professionals in the Pioneer Group who had sacrificed, the battle zone still needed to verify if the fallen warrior had family. If so, the condolence money would be sent directly to the family.
The workload for these aftermath tasks was immense, and addressing them all would take at least a few days.
Almost encompassing hundreds of Frontier Territories and Pioneer Groups after all.
Representatives from Tianyuan Territory needed to be present during this process. If one of the three vice commanders was absent, the work could still proceed, but if the chief commander was absent, it would have to stall.
But everyone was waiting to share dividends and celebrate; nobody could just wait idly.
Fortunately...
Tianyuan had the mysterious woman "Dark Crow," who then called over two other division generals from Tianyuan: Xie Yi and Hong Yi.
The three managed and coordinated these non-combat affairs not merely as novices, but rather efficiently.
They don't even seem like "new generals" who had only been recruited and trained for just over a year.
Tianyuan's right-hand assistants, like Isloa, could handle the duties of a city alone, allowing Tianyuan to focus all his energy on controlling the grand strategic direction.
Indeed, Lord Tianyuan possesses a special charm that attracts Wild Heroes.
This is his true talent.
Otherwise, merely through nurturing and evolving such talent, it wouldn't be possible to command so many versatile great generals.

Epic troops aren't so all-around skilled.
"Tianyuan you brat, your subordinates are too competent; I'm envious... I don't even want to speak of envy anymore,"
Mu Yuan had just stepped out of the Cultivation Quiet Room when he saw the Lord of Green Mountain with a sour expression.
But apart from that pained expression, he also noticed the very evident dark circles under the Lord of Green Mountain's eyes.
Even a Soul Realm warrior has dark circles, what has he been through?
Wait,
"What happened?" he looked around, "Doesn't seem like anything major happened in the battle zone?"
If there were major issues, he would have awakened from immersive comprehension and not slept so deeply.
"It's not a major issue, but it has been three days since we repelled the army of Dragon Sleep Valley, a whole three days!"
"Do you know how we spent these three days!"
It was as if black Resentment constantly seethed above his head.
During these three days, they ran up and down, being busy before and after, continuously dealing with aftermath tasks.
The Shattered Isles Warzone was newly established, and the leadership team was new—like him, Rain Dust, and Broken Rock, it was their first time as Vice Commanders— so the whole leadership team lacked experience and inevitably stumbled in their tasks.
No major blunders, but small errors were non-stop.
There weren't many completely trustworthy and dependable generals in Green Mountain City. The Lord of Green Mountain himself therefore had to personally review documents, communicate with all parties, maintain the situation, patrol the war zone,... For days and nights without rest involved in various tasks that he didn't actually like, wouldn't he be exhausted?
Seeing Tianyuan looking fully refreshed as if he had just woken up, his resentment nearly materialized.
However,
Upon reflection, the Lord of Green Mountain realized that even if he was as busy as a dog, his efficiency in handling affairs in Green Mountain City was the lowest among the four cities.
What about Tianyuan City?
Even if the Lord did not take the front seat, even if the strongmen or Chief Minister did not show up, their efficiency was still ranked among the best.
He was the one dragging behind.
He had no right to complain.
Even Tianyuan Lord's absence after the battle was something all soldiers and generals understood well.
—To raise the wall against the heavens, repel the formidable enemy forces, it was normal for Lord Tianyuan and General Lu to be exhausted and in need of rest.
The trivial matters of the war zone had Vice Commanders like the Lord of Green Mountain to handle them.
The Lord of Green Mountain's expression changed over a dozen times in just a few seconds, and Mu Yuan couldn't figure out what was going on, so he just patted Green Mountain on the shoulder, "Young man, don't stay up, get some sleep early."
...
The losses in the Shattered Isles Warzone were not significant.
After this round of battles, the will of Heaven and Earth in the Eternal World was strengthened in the Shattered Isles, the corruption began to recede, and the powerhouses of Dragon Sleep Valley too suffered heavy losses, which meant that the Shattered Isles Warzone had effectively withstood the enemy's offensive.
For some time to come, there would be no major battles.
All Frontier Lords and Professionals relaxed considerably.
Mu Yuan took this opportunity to return to his own territory to deploy the Permanent Blueprint and construct the Epic Building.
The massive features of Ice Valley and Fire Valley stood prominently like landmark structures within Tianyuan City.
