"At your command!" The soldiers slowly retreated back into Huangtai Fortress. In the army, orders were always strictly obeyed. Since the Commander had spoken, he would definitely keep his word; otherwise, no one in Huangtai Fortress would ever listen to his orders again.

Brian Cooper and the other four also followed and walked back. Eric King was already slow, and now he kept looking back every few steps, nearly drooling: "A Small Sumeru Realm! We're going to be rich!"

Brian Cooper certainly knew what a Small Sumeru Realm meant. It was a special space created using formations and talismans, larger than the usual mustard seed storage spaces, but not as vast as the legendary Small Cave Heaven.

But the Small Sumeru Realm had a unique feature: the space and time inside were frozen, making it especially suitable for storing all kinds of rare treasures, as the spiritual energy would not dissipate. So, a Small Sumeru Realm was essentially a treasure vault.

"The Commander said everyone gets a share. We should be able to get quite a few valuable treasures, right?"

"The Commander is a man of his word. I doubt he would deceive us."

Brian Cooper curled his lip: "Don't be too greedy. If there really are treasures, the Commander will definitely pick first, then the Deputy Commanders, then the Battalion Commanders, Captains, and Watch Officers, and there will be some left for those higher up. By the time it gets to us, we'll be lucky to get even a scrap of leftovers."

Brian Cooper curled his lip: "Don't be too greedy. If there really are treasures, the Commander will definitely pick first, then the Deputy Commanders, then the Battalion Commanders, Captains, and Watch Officers, and there will be some left for those higher up. By the time it gets to us, we'll be lucky to get even a scrap of leftovers."

Ethan Hill also said, "You two blockheads, who do you think you are? Good things like this will never come to us."

Eric King and Jason Clark were a bit discouraged by the blow, but still couldn't help feeling a bit hopeful: "Even leftovers are fine, after all, these are heaven-sent treasures."

Over the next three days, led by Hu Jiaobing, all the officers in Huangtai Fortress skilled in formations gathered and worked day and night to decipher and break the rune restrictions on the outermost layer of the Heavenly Fire.

Every day, when Brian Cooper and his group passed by on patrol along the city wall, they couldn't help but look over. On the second day, Brian Cooper noticed: "That Heavenly Fire doesn't seem to be a dead thing. The rune Small Sumeru Realms outside are operating according to the patterns of the Zhou Tian cycle."

Jason Clark struggled to restrain his four Underworld Soul Hellhounds, which were eager to pounce on the demon dragon's head, and subconsciously said, "You should go and remind the Battalion Commanders."

Eric King lazily replied, "You think the Battalion Commanders are fools and can't see it themselves?"

Brian Cooper also shook his head, sensibly saying, "This kind of thing is not for small fry like us in the Wolf Soldiers Battalion to meddle in."

Three days later, the Battalion Commanders cheered as they finally broke open the rune restriction of a Small Sumeru Cave Heaven. Just as Brian Cooper had predicted, the Battalion Commanders had of course discovered the connections between these Small Sumeru Cave Heavens. By relying on the links between the Zhou Tian stars, when they opened the first Small Sumeru Cave Heaven, they also opened the other eleven Small Sumeru Realms in the same star system.

It was dusk, the sky already dim. At the instant the twelve Small Sumeru Realms opened, countless treasures poured out in a torrent. These treasures shone with multicolored light and spiritual brilliance, raining down on the earth like a storm, burying the Battalion Commanders and Captains beneath them.

Even though they were used to seeing the world and remained calm in the face of life and death, they were stunned in shock at this moment. After a while, they stammered, "Quick, go report to the Commander, the... the treasures are like a tide!"

A Watch Officer from Tiger Roar Hall immediately stamped his feet, leapt into the air, tapped his toes a few times on the city wall, jumped onto the ramparts, and then disappeared into the fortress in a few bounds to report to Hu Jiaobing.

An uproar broke out on the ramparts. Brian Cooper and Ethan Hill happened to witness the scene. Eric King's mouth gaped all the way to his ears, Jason Clark's eyes flashed with greed, the chains in his hands clattered, and his four Underworld Soul Hellhounds barked and lunged wildly.

Emily Scott narrowed her eyes slightly, but the cold gleam in the eye behind her iron mask betrayed her true feelings.

The entire Huangtai Fortress was in an uproar!

"Great fortune!"

"Great opportunity!"

"Great luck!"

Among the mountain of treasures, dozens of items soared into the air, circling and dancing around the Heavenly Fire along some special trajectory. Gradually, these truly outstanding treasures sorted themselves into tiers.

At the very top was a jade Hóu beast, lifelike and howling at the sky, its huge mouth inhaling and exhaling the energies of yin and yang. The yang energy contained sun, moon, and stars; the yin energy held evil spirits and heroic souls!

The entire Huangtai Fortress saw it. This was an incomparably precious spiritual treasure, surpassing even ninth-grade magical artifacts!

On the next tier were five treasures: a giant warship powered by the spiritual light of sun and moon, a semi-illusory yin-yang treasure pearl, a judge's gavel carved with underworld records, a scroll recording the names of powerful gods, and a dazzling vajra ring with seven exotic beasts coiled upon it.

These five treasures were equally imposing, submitting only to the jade Hóu beast, yet refusing to yield to each other, suppressing the other treasures below.

Brian Cooper murmured, "Five ninth-grade magical artifacts!"
