86: Information about the Red Soil Plateau

In the light screen, after Zhou Yong listened to Su Jin's narration, a peculiar expression appeared on his originally resolute face.

He seemed to be carefully choosing his words, and after a moment, he spoke: "Lord Su Jin, the Ka Mountain you mentioned is indeed a notable figure among the Three-Eyed Race."

"Oh?" Su Jin raised an eyebrow, it seemed Ka Mountain's claim of being "Top 100 among Tier 10s" wasn't entirely a boast.

"Hmm," Zhou Yong nodded and continued, "This guy has strength, and he can indeed rank among the top in the Three-Eyed Race's Tier 10 hierarchy. However, he... how should I put it, he has a peculiar habit."

Zhou Yong paused, the corners of his mouth seemed to quirk upwards, as if he was suppressing a smile:

"He especially likes to announce his rank within the race before acting, and then belittle his opponent. In our words, it's 'extremely attention-seeking, with a fixed pattern of verbal provocation before battle.'"

Su Jin couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

He recalled the reports from Commander Bai Xiao and others, and comparing them with Zhou Yong's description, he immediately felt that Ka Mountain was indeed a bit comical.

It seemed this guy had ingrained posturing into his bones, and this time, he'd kicked an iron plate.

"So, he's run into a tough opponent this time," Su Jin said with a smile.

"More than just a tough opponent,"

Zhou Yong's gaze lingered on Su Jin's face for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes,

"Even a top-tier Tier 10 troop wouldn't find it easy to deal with Ka Mountain so cleanly and decisively. Lord Su Jin, if I'm not mistaken, the one who acted under your command must be a Hero Unit, right?"

Su Jin neither directly admitted nor denied it, merely smiling faintly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yong already understood.

He continued, "That makes sense. Generally speaking, a Lord below Tier 7 would be considered elite if he had one or two Gold-tier troops under his command. As for Hero Units, especially Gold-tier Heroes, those are basically standard for top-tier Lords. Ka Mountain running into a Hero Unit, he can only be considered unlucky."

While this sounded like an explanation, it also indirectly highlighted Su Jin's level of strength.

In the eyes of these experienced Lords, possessing a Gold-tier Hero was itself a symbol of strength.

"Lord Zhou seems quite knowledgeable about the Three-Eyed Race's high-tier combat power," Su Jin asked, seizing the opportunity.

"It's my duty."

Zhou Yong said concisely, "The main opponents of the military, besides the Dark Star Empire, are the Three-Eyed Race. We have special archives and strength assessments for their elite hierarchy and Hero Units."

"What about Marco..." Su Jin brought up the name.

Zhou Yong's expression became slightly more serious: "Marco, a Mind Nexus Lord of the Three-Eyed Race, is considered one of the best among their new generation, similar to some other promising new Lords who have performed well recently. This person has an extremely keen perception of energy, and his core 'construct' troops seem to receive his talent's boost, requiring special attention."

Su Jin nodded, committing this information to memory.

It seemed Marco was indeed an opponent worth being wary of.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for clarifying," Su Jin said.

"You're too kind, Lord Su Jin," Zhou Yong waved his hand, "The Blue Star Alliance in Woma World currently needs to unite all its forces. Sharing intelligence is only right."

He changed the subject and asked, "May I ask in which direction your current location is, Lord Su Jin? If it's convenient, could you tell me?"

Su Jin pondered for a moment. Although Infinite City's location was secret, revealing a general direction to a military representative like Zhou Yong wouldn't hurt, and he might even gain more valuable information from him.

"Infinite City is currently on the southeastern edge of the Black Stone Wasteland," Su Jin replied.

"Southeastern Black Stone Wasteland..." Zhou Yong's gaze seemed to be recalling a map, and after a moment, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, "So that's it. That location isn't too far from the Red Soil Plateau."

"Red Soil Plateau?" Su Jin was unfamiliar with this place name.

"Hmm," Zhou Yong explained, "The Red Soil Plateau is a relatively resource-rich area in the central part of Woma World. There are many unexplored secret realms there, and the output of some of these secret realms is quite important to us Lords. Currently, our Blue Star Alliance, the Dark Star Empire, and the Three-Eyed Race all have some top-tier Lords active in that area, competing for control of those secret realms."

Zhou Yong looked at Su Jin, with a hint of inquiry in his tone: "Lord Su Jin, are you interested in developing towards the Red Soil Plateau? Although the competition there is fierce, there are also more opportunities. With your strength, you should be able to achieve great things there."

He paused, then added, "Of course, the situation there is also more complex, with frequent skirmishes between the top-tier combat forces of the three races, and the danger is also higher."

Listening to Zhou Yong's description, Su Jin's heart stirred.

Infinite City's military strength had already begun to take shape, with a considerable number of Silver-tier elite troops, and even a Gold-tier Hero like Commander Bai Xiao in command.

Continuing to stay in a relatively barren place like the Black Stone Wasteland would inevitably limit its development speed.

And the Red Soil Plateau, since it could attract top-tier Lords from the three races, must have its unique advantages.

"Opportunities and dangers coexist, huh..." Su Jin stroked his chin, his gaze deep.

He looked at Zhou Yong in the light screen and asked, "Lord Zhou, are you inviting me to the Red Soil Plateau because the military has some plans there?"

Zhou Yong said frankly, "It's not really a specific plan. It's just that the strategic position of the Red Soil Plateau is quite important, and having a strong ally like Lord Su Jin would naturally be beneficial to the overall situation of our Blue Star Alliance in that area."

"And," Zhou Yong's lips curved into a meaningful smile, "I'm personally very curious about how many surprises your Infinite City, Lord Su Jin, can bring us."

Su Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for your suggestion and information, Lord Zhou. I will seriously consider it."

The Red Soil Plateau certainly sounded like a good place to go.

However, before that, he still needed to deal with Marco of the Mind Nexus, and then assess the surrounding situation.

"If Lord Su Jin decides to go to the Red Soil Plateau, you can contact me anytime," Zhou Yong said, "I have some arrangements there that might be able to provide you with some convenience."

"Certainly," Su Jin nodded.

The two briefly exchanged views on the current battlefield situation, then ended the communication.

The light screen dissipated, and the council hall returned to quiet.

Su Jin leaned back in his chair, quickly processing the information he had just received from Zhou Yong.

"Red Soil Plateau..." he murmured softly.

It seemed he needed to deal with Marco as soon as possible.

"Someone, summon Commander Huo Jun and Commander Bai Xiao to the council hall immediately for discussion."
