CHAPTER 366: CHAPTER 324 STRENGTH ENHANCEMENT_1

"Yes, my Lord." Prince Elrado further lowered his posture and paid his respects to Yan Xing again, then watched the five giant steel "beasts" land in the jungle.

As for the Elves, they looked as if they could fall off their Pegasus at any moment. The Beak Eagle Transport Planes flying past them had delivered too great a shock.

The Griffons continued to circle and cry in the sky.

On the ground, in the thick forest, aside from occasional Magic spells shot futilely upwards, no other flying creatures appeared.

The Eternal Territory Air Force had perfectly completed its aerial combat mission.

After the five Beak Eagle Transport Planes landed at the temporary frontline airstrip, Yan Xing handed over alert duties to the drones and the Armored Gryphons—which had yet to appear—and led the somewhat tired Griffons and Pegasus to land in the frontline camp.

The frontline camp had been constructed by the Southern Camp Werewolves who arrived early. They started by felling trees to clear a large open space, then used the timber and sandbags—woven bags filled with soil—to erect a perimeter wall. Tents were erected inside the camp, awaiting the main force’s arrival.

Then Duan’er, leading the Werewolf volunteer soldiers, set up a defensive perimeter, using Poison Flies and Carnivorous Birds to block the Heize Werewolves’ Scouts from conducting reconnaissance of the frontline camp.

Six such camps had been established for the general offensive in the Heize region. Three of them would not be used, serving as diversions to confuse the Heize Werewolves’ judgment.

Besides the camps, Duan’er’s Southern Camp also constructed many military operational areas nearby, including temporary airstrips, artillery positions, trap zones, watchtowers, trenches, and arsenals.

With their experience in construction for the Eternal Domain, the Southern Camp Werewolves were excellent workers. Provided with blueprints and an entrenching tool, they could quickly construct any desired facility.

Seeing how efficiently the Southern Camp had built so much in such a short time, Yan Xing entertained the idea of turning it into a dedicated engineering corps.

As the Eternal Domain’s main forces gradually mechanized, they would inevitably need a large engineering corps capable of carving roads through mountains and building bridges across waters.

He would give it serious thought after this battle.

The Beak Eagle Transport Planes were unloading cargo, and Yan Xing and the aircrew hurried to rest.

The scent of medicinal herbs rose within the camp, growing ever stronger. Werewolves were also feeding the Griffons and Pegasus.

The swamp was extremely humid. Combined with the geothermal environment and the onset of winter, this damp cold could easily make people sick. The Werewolves, accustomed to the swamp environment, were unaffected by these conditions. However, the army attacking the Heize Werewolves included Humans and Elves. Therefore, Yan Xing purchased some herbs from the real world that could dispel dampness and cold. He had the Werewolves brew a concoction and made his soldiers drink a bowl each.

The only problem was the insects—there were far too many.

Yan Xing lay on his camp bed, unable to sleep due to the harassing mosquitoes. He electrocuted one batch, only for another swarm to gather soon after; it seemed impossible to kill them all. So, he simply decided not to sleep.

Sitting up in bed, he entered meditation, generating an electric field around himself that automatically electrocuted the mosquitoes with sharp CRACKLES.

Yan Xing’s hero level had reached 35, but he no longer placed much emphasis on it. With the assistance of Chui Chui, his Deep Space Enunciator, the efficiency of Yan Xing’s Magic Power use had already transcended the limits imposed by levels.

Moreover, there was a significant difference between warfare and one-on-one duels. On the battlefield, an individual hero’s power does not greatly impact the overall situation. Of course, this only applies to heroes below Master Level.

The power of Master Level heroes is so immense that conventional adjectives cannot capture their strength. Metaphorically speaking, they are akin to a nuclear deterrent.

Yan Xing did not know whether the Silvermane Principality, Snow Elves, or Barbaric Orcs had Master Level heroes, but the Cloud Tower certainly did.

Currently, the Cloud Tower maintained its dignity by not entering the fray personally, but sooner or later, the Eternal Domain would have to face them.

Prepare for every contingency... Yan Xing seized every opportunity to enhance his strength.

Through meditation, he entered his consciousness space.

The Deep Space Enunciator’s Magic Tome unfolded before Yan Xing. It recorded all the Magic Chui Chui had collected, as well as many spells she had developed for Yan Xing. However, many of these spells were unknown to Yan Xing; some he had not even heard of.

Of course, it was enough that Chui Chui knew them.

The boss makes the request, and the employees handle the process and deliver the solution.

"Chui Chui..."

As Yan Xing called out, Chui Chui emerged from the Deep Space Enunciator’s Magic Tome. Her ancient-style long sleeves fluttered as she circled Yan Xing. Then she gracefully curtsied and, with the demeanor of a well-bred lady, said, "Master, Chui Chui is here. Do you have any instructions?"

Yan Xing snapped his fingers, and a chair appeared behind him. He sat down facing the Magic Tome and said, "Recently, I’ve felt I’ve hit a bottleneck in refining my Magic Power; my absorption of Air Magic Elements is extremely slow. Have you noticed?"

Chui Chui stood respectfully before Yan Xing and answered, "Yes, Master... I have felt it too. Your mastery of Air Magic is still at the Junior level, and you’ve reached the upper limit of Junior Air Magic. To upgrade to Intermediate Level Air Magic, you still need an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Yan Xing asked. "Does that mean I have to wait for a god-gifted skill? But those are random."

Chui Chui replied, "Master, you could also enter the Domain Magic Tower and meditate amidst the dense Magic Elements for an epiphany."

Hearing this suggestion, Yan Xing considered it only briefly before rejecting it. "If it requires too much time, then we won’t consider this option for now. Are there any other methods?"
