The vehicle drove into the suburbs.
This road made Su Yuan feel a bit nostalgic.
The last time he took this road was during the time at Guangchuan Fourth Middle School, riding on a city education department bus for a joint trial...
As they approached the Rainforest Secret Realm, they saw military warriors in teams of ten along the way.
Each team had at least one Gold Level leading, and every ten teams had a Shining Star Level coordinating.
This was already beyond the military strength that Guangchuan City could possess, even Qingye City couldn’t compare. Clearly, it was an army from elsewhere.
After a while, they finally arrived at their destination.
The distant entrance to the Rainforest Secret Realm was no longer visible, becoming a blurry area shrouded in silver light, the location of the Grey Realm passage.
Outside the passage to the Grey Realm, the military had established new circular defensive fortifications.
Su Yuan followed Wu Shaoyang into the command post within the fortifications, approaching a burly middle-aged man who was scrutinizing screen data.
"Vice Admiral Qin, this is Su Imperial Envoy," Wu Shaoyang spoke.
The burly middle-aged man turned around, his face slightly dark, with deep eyes and a reserved yet intense aura, evidently an expert at the Chongyang Level!
"Eighth Corps of the Southern Military District, Vice Admiral Qin Shang." The burly middle-aged man respectfully saluted.
Su Yuan returned the salute, "Sky Patrol Department Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan."
"I’ve heard of Su Imperial Envoy’s illustrious name for a long time!" Qin Shang laughed.
Not just Qin Shang, many other personnel working in the command post also cast curious glances.
Because now, in both the Sky Patrol Department and the military, the name "Su Yuan" was indeed too prominent!
After the "March Killing Game," many of Su Yuan’s past achievements were brought to light.
Many experts discovered that Su Yuan’s performance was already astonishing at the beginning of the Earth Tribulation, and his personal progress speed was terrifying!
Starting with being the "Star Lord with the most Star Envoy kills" and ending with "March Killing Game counterkill," Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan could be considered the most dazzling person in Great Flame since the Earth Tribulation began.
Wu Shaoyang also admired, "The Qiguang Holy Hall, including the chief, three Moon Knights acted together, and even I might not have been able to escape.
Su Imperial Envoy could achieve this at the Radiant Moon Level, and now advancing to the Burning Sun Level, his strength is likely beyond my imagination!"
Su Yuan modestly replied, "Major General Wu, you’re being too modest."
In fact, who could be weak upon reaching the Burning Sun Level? They are all outstanding individuals!
At this level, the lower limit is already elevated to a considerable standard. There won’t be such a large gap between the upper and lower limits as seen at the Shining Star Level.
Su Yuan looked at the screen in front of Qin Shang and asked, "Vice Admiral Qin, what are these metrics?"
Qin Shang explained, "They mainly monitor the stability, diffusion trends, and internal energy data of the channel.
However, due to the separation from the Grey Realm passage, even the best Star Energy Detectors have limited effectiveness."
Su Yuan replied, "So there’s an urgent need to occupy an area within the Grey Realm?"
"That’s right, we need to occupy some territories in the Grey Realm as defense lines to provide early warning and monitor Grey Realm changes... follow me, Su Imperial Envoy."
Qin Shang led Su Yuan to a side simulation sand table, "This is the current situation detected in the Sha Ze Domain, of course, other domains are similar."
Su Yuan looked at the sand table, resembling a palm, with one "fingertip" being Guangchuan City.
However, the "finger" is very short, and the palm is infinitely large without end.
"The location of the Royal Court is at the deepest part of the Sha Ze Domain, and under its command are seven ’territories,’ which consolidate the Star Beast Lord forces of Sha Ze Domain.
These seven territories are distributed near and far outside the Royal Court, and Guangchuan City is closest to one of them.
Su Yuan followed Qin Shang’s finger, and that area was marked with the words "Shake."
"Shake Territory has three Burning Sun Level Lords, with power radiating for thousands of miles, and beneath them are many Radiant Moon and Shining Star Tribes."
Su Yuan was somewhat astonished, realizing the vastness and magnitude of the Grey Realm’s power now that he was witnessing it!
Sha Ze Domain alone, one of the ten domains, is stronger than any domain north of Great Flame’s Five Domains... and far stronger!
Just in the seven territories of Sha Ze Domain, Shake alone has three Burning Sun Star Beasts, comparable to the strongest organization, Dragon Sect, in the Black Wind Domain!
And Shake is just one of the weakest outer territories in Sha Ze Domain.
Qin Shang continued, "Currently, in the Grey Realm’s ten domains, four domains, including Sha Ze Domain, are directly adjacent to our Great Flame.
In the future, we will need to fully capture these four domains. At the current stage, however, the aim is to first establish basic defense lines in these four domains.
As for our current target in the Sha Ze Domain we’re responsible for..."
Qin Shang circled two locations close to the "fingertip" on the map.
"Shake, Lianqi, these two territories are the closest to us and the furthest from Sha Ze Royal Court.
If we can seize these two territories, we can advance to attack further linked territories or retreat to secure the exit base, grounding our foothold in the Sha Ze Domain!"
Su Yuan nodded, noting that Qin Shang and Wu Shaoyang were likely responsible for the assault on Shake.
"How many men do we have?" Su Yuan asked.
Qin Shang said, "According to our investigation, Shake Territory has three Star Beast Lords, Lianqi Territory has two. To be cautious, we plan to deploy eight Burning Sun to attack the two places!"
