”Send two teams to control their Mining Camp and Plantation. I want to see our Seven Star County's border expanded today!” Zhang Wu Ji takes the position of a Commander in Chief and sent them into the war.
Of course, by sending his troops out to attack the Crystalline River County, this may cause some dissatisfaction, especially to the Upper South State's Minister.
But, Zhang Wu Ji wasn't bothered at all, seeing how he did not take action when the Upper South Merchant Corporation and Jie's Clan is attacking them.
In the worst case scenario, Zhang Wu Ji can rally his population straight into his System Realm and assimilates as his Realm's residents instead. Still, that's the worst case scenario if the outsider is taking action.
”So, you're taking a side to support right? I'll make you decide to crumble with them or stand with me.” Zhang Wu Ji smirks as he thinks about it. Although he may be an insignificant insect before the people that control the entire Southern Imperial Kingdom, he's not as timid as the others.
”If I cannot overcome this trial, then I'll die trying! Remaining as a timid may allow me to live longer, but that will halt my cultivation from continuing to improve.” Zhang Wu Ji reconsidered his choice, but at the end of the consideration, his decision still stands firm.
”Fiuuu... Bang!” a firework went up from both East and West from his direction. This mark represents a victory in their battle, as he only sends two teams out, that means both succeed in completing their mission!
”Good! Order them to continue with their route! We will regroup outside of their Capital and execute a damaging attack!” Zhang Wu Ji ordered his men to continue marching, as they expect to reach the Defensive Fortress belonged to the Crystalline River City Faction.
”Our enemies are here! All guards! Raise your Yuan-Tie Cannon and aim!” one of the captains defending the wall ordered. Following his speech, Celestial Tools starts to appear attached on the Fortress Wall, ready to fire.
”Hall Master, we counted their number of cannons, it should be not less than 400 of them!” an acting captain from his Middle Wing came to report. In total, Zhang Wu Ji controlled six teams of five hundred fighters each.
To support the 3,000 soldiers, he was assisted by 5 acting captains, controlling the Left, Right, Middle, Rear Left, and Rear Right. As for himself, Zhang Wu Ji controlled his rights to command his Commander Wing.
”What are you waiting? Order the troops to retreats for 50 steps, and reply their aggression with our own Yuan-Tie Cannon. I'm sure they're going to die with mouth opened wide.” Zhang Wu Ji gave his order out, which was transferred to the Middle Wing word by word.
Without any delay, they retreated, the distance of 50 steps away means getting out from the Fortress's range of fire, but at the same time, the fifty steps mean something different to the Middle Wing entirely.
The Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon belonged to the Seven Star County's troops may look similar in appearance, but their differences can be noticed by an additional attachment on the body of the Celestial Tool.
Zhang Wu Ji smiled like the victory is in his hand. While the two sides are facing each other in a battle of stares, Zhang Wu Ji's mind returned to about a week ago, when the Celestial Designer Department is busy handling the designing of the Servant Puppet.
He was too free because there's nothing else he has to take action personally. In his System Realm, Zhan Yu and the fellow Tamed Beasts handles his batch of Medicinal Plants while the Silver Carapace Queen maintain the supply of Warrior Qi Nectar Grains.
As for the Seven Star Master Hall, Liang Tian and his Master Mother handled most of the matters related to Cultivation, with Li Jing, Li Yin, and Li Tong taking care of the operation from department to departments.
With Meng Ran is gone from his county, Zhang Wu Ji's Formation Array Department failed to expand themselves. Although he planned for additional masters to come and help, their transfer wasn't something that can be done in one to two days.
In this period, he spent most of his time to study the Blueprints he possessed and upgraded them slightly to increase their efficiency. But the outcome from his ability varies.
By using the Master Huang's Fighter Crossbow as an example, Zhang Wu Ji refines the incomplete version into three different results. Although each of them comes with a different kind of results, he wasn't satisfied with the end results on his three completed version.
In his opinion, this kind of completion feels shallow inside the Celestial Tool he's going to forge.

After he revised all the available option for his completed blueprints, Zhang Wu Ji decided to recycle them through his Blueprint Option that was neglected for quite long.
