After completing all this, Zhou Yan had them wait at the city gate, then he went to the barracks himself.
He first went to the [Heavenly Strategy Black Armored Army] barracks and began to summon soldiers.
[Heavenly Strategy Black Armored Army] prompt: "Soul Coins - 3000, summon one [Heavenly Strategy Black Armored Army] soldier."
...
[Heavenly Strategy Black Armored Army] prompt: "Soul Coins - 3000, summon hero Xiao Siye for [Heavenly Strategy Black Armored Army]."
"Xiao Siye? Who is this?" Zhou Yan was not very familiar with this person. He checked the hero's quality, it was only R grade, which was still pretty good.
Afterward, he summoned another hero named Wang Junhuan, also R grade.
However, he did not summon any familiar talents until the very end, when a hero named Qin Qiong appeared. Zhou Yan was very happy; he was familiar with this person.
The main reason he was so familiar with Qin Qiong was that he had watched the TV series.
What he didn't expect was that Qin Qiong was also only an RR grade hero. But it didn't matter; he still decided to let Qin Qiong serve as the general of the Black Armored Army. Although this barracks should have been more suitable for Hou Junji, Zhou Yan just didn't have a good impression of Hou Junji.
However, he could make Hou Junji a副将 to Qin Qiong.
When all twenty thousand soldiers were summoned, Zhou Yan had also summoned quite a few generals of SS to SSS grade. However, he was not very familiar with them, so he only let them serve as minor commanders.
He looked at his Soul Coins and uniformly leveled up these soldiers to level 20. He found he still had a lot of Soul Coins, so he went to the [Wu Dang Flying Army] barracks and started summoning soldiers.
However, this barracks did not summon any heroes of R grade or above, which disappointed him a bit.
Because Soul Coins were increasing all the time, he summoned all the soldiers that could be summoned from the barracks and then began to level them up.
The territory had gained nearly fifty thousand soldiers at once. Fortunately, the territory's equipment reserves were decent. Although they couldn't equip everyone with diamond-grade gear, they had platinum-grade equipment sets.
After distributing equipment to everyone, Zhou Yan ordered Zhao Yun to be the general of the [Wu Dang Flying Army], and then assigned Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, and Wen Pin to him. This way, Zhao Yun would have enough subordinates.
Because a lot of Soul Coins were coming in all the time, he would upgrade the soldiers when they accumulated to a certain amount.
The levels of these newly summoned soldiers were raised from level 1 to level 10, 15, and 20.
The Soul Coin rewards from the Mid-Autumn Festival event were indeed very abundant. But these monsters would always have a moment of fear. After half an hour, these monsters were gone. However, in this short half hour, Zhou Yan had already obtained nearly six billion Soul Coins!
In other places, every lord also faced half an hour of monster attacks. Many low-level lords could not even withstand half an hour of monster attacks. Their territories were breached by monsters, their Lord Crystals were shattered, and they were completely eliminated.
They never expected the monsters in the Mid-Autumn Festival event to be so powerful and numerous.
Although they gained quite a lot of Soul Coins, they truly regretted it.
They regretted that their territory's defenses were too low, and thus they lost an opportunity to earn Soul Coins.
Since they had no points, no points were deducted, and they only gained the Soul Coins from killing monsters.
These people immediately posted on the Lord Continent forums: "Discussing the overpowered nature of the Mid-Autumn Festival event."
Instantly, countless lords from all over the world joined in.
"The monsters in this Mid-Autumn Festival event are too strong. I only lasted ten minutes."
"Brother, I only lasted ten minutes."
"I lasted twenty minutes and got a lot of Soul Coin rewards, but my territory was still broken."
"The rewards from this monster wave are so generous, twice as much as outside."
...
Some were happy, while others were sad. For those who successfully survived the monster tide, they quickly began to reorganize their armies or repair damaged buildings, and then started to dispatch soldiers to move out.
Zhou Yan obtained a huge fortune, allowing him to level up all his soldiers to around level twenty-something.
After all, fifty thousand soldiers required a vast amount of Soul Coins.
After the monsters retreated, Zhou Yan went to the city wall and said to Bai Qi, "Bai Qi, you can order the attack."
"Yes!" Bai Qi nodded and accepted the order, then sternly began to issue commands to the generals behind him.
As generals led soldiers out one by one, Bai Qi also led his men away.
Yin Lihua and the others also began to contact generals from various directions and started to transmit images to them based on the footage from the reconnaissance drones.
As for the newly summoned recruits, Zhang Liang arranged them to defend various city walls, replacing the higher-level, transferred soldiers, and positioning them at the city gate.
The number of these soldiers was not small, as the territory was large, with an outer wall and an inner wall, and even soldiers on the walls of the [Heavenly Emperor's Palace].
Below the stage were not only his women but also the many generals who had just been summoned: Xiao Siye, Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, Wen Pin, Hou Junji, Yang Zaixing, Wang Junhuan, and Qin Qiong were all present.
Zhang Wuji and Zhang Sanfeng were also there. So Zhou Yan said, "All troops, advance!"
The group headed outwards. Due to a lack of mounts, only Zhou Yan's women had them.
However, after they finish mining the crystal veins, he would look for suitable monsters to capture as mounts.
He even wanted to form flying mounts and establish an air force. These things would take time, and he had a long future ahead of him.
Zhou Yan soared into the sky and flew outwards, with over fifty thousand troops below, led by various generals, heading straight forward.
"My Lord, about five kilometers ahead of you, there is a group of monsters, approximately one thousand in number. Among them is a glowing rabbit. Based on our judgment, it should be the Moon Rabbit mentioned in this event. Its specific level and quality are unclear," Yin Lihua transmitted to Zhou Yan.
Through the transmitted images, the specific information of the monsters could not be seen. Only monsters within one's line of sight could be observed for information.
After Yin Lihua sent the image to Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan examined it carefully and found that the Mid-Autumn Rabbit was indeed easy to distinguish, glowing all over as if to ensure no one would mistake it for the Mid-Autumn Rabbit.
"Alright, I understand. Continue your observation," Zhou Yan replied.
Zhang Liang, within the territory, moved towards a direction where the intelligent reconnaissance drones discovered a large number of monsters.
