Zhou Yan kept Yin Lihua and others alert to the movements of those people, and reported to the nearby small teams immediately if any enemies approached.
Fortunately, the other party's territory was still more than a hundred miles away, so they wouldn't arrive so quickly even if they encountered them.
Zhou Yan instructed his subordinates to focus on hunting monsters and to hunt as many as possible.
The reconnaissance planes closely monitored all surrounding movements and deliberately bypassed that territory, exploring from other directions.
If Zhou Yan encountered a territory that was not very powerful, he would simply destroy it. After all, destroying a territory could earn a lot of points, which was much faster for Zhou Yan than searching for the Mid-Autumn Rabbit.
The reconnaissance planes also discovered a group of distinctly different black armies, which began to hunt monsters in all directions.
It would still be a long time before they met Zhou Yan's soldiers.
Zhou Yan would not attack a difficult territory, but that didn't mean he wouldn't attack the soldiers. As long as they dared to steal his monsters, Zhou Yan would not hesitate to destroy them.
...
Meanwhile, Bai Qi encountered a relatively powerful territory, but Bai Qi did not choose to retreat, instead opting for a proactive attack.
Before setting out, Bai Qi had naturally assessed the territory and believed their strength was sufficient to conquer it.
Since they could take it, Bai Qi would show no mercy.
Bai Qi first lured out the enemy army. As expected, an army of about five thousand men appeared.
Seeing these enemies, Bai Qi directly used the charge speed of his cavalry to utterly annihilate them.
The enemy's barracks were clearly an S-quality barracks, around level 70, but their combat power was far inferior. However, the enemy still had some strength, causing hundreds of casualties among Bai Qi's forces.
Bai Qi, on the other hand, achieved a complete annihilation.
After this group of soldiers was eliminated, a large contingent of troops emerged from the enemy's territory, including three thousand cavalry.
This was the first time Bai Qi had seen a cavalry force of over a thousand men; previously, the maximum had been around five hundred.
All of this was transmitted to Bai Qi's screen by the reconnaissance planes, which were as small as flies in the high altitude.
From the moment the enemy dispatched troops and Bai Qi was aware of it, their defeat was sealed.
The enemy had sent many people this time. The quality of the soldiers was at least B-grade, with a top S-grade unit. Among them, over a dozen generals reached S-grade quality.
The highest-ranking general was even of SSS quality, but these heroes were only considered passable by Bai Qi.
After all, any of his auxiliary generals were SSS quality.
The enemy territory's strength was quite considerable.
Few territories could possess S-grade or higher barracks, let alone so many high-tier rewards and such a large army.
The total number of these enemies was quickly calculated: ten thousand sword and shield soldiers, five thousand spearmen, five thousand archers, five thousand great sword soldiers, and three thousand cavalry, for a total of twenty-eight thousand men.
Bai Qi closely arranged his forces according to the enemy's marching route and then chose a location to conceal them using a formation.
Bai Qi intended to completely annihilate this army!
This was Bai Qi's forte, but he was a meticulous person who considered every detail. Half an hour later, Bai Qi's forces were all hidden.
Then, it was only a matter of waiting for the enemy to arrive.
As expected, after the enemy discovered some signs of battle, they began to search in this direction. Their generals surveyed the surroundings, observed carefully, and sent scouts to investigate. No issues were found.
This demonstrated that even an SSS-quality general was not incompetent.
Unfortunately, when an SSS-quality general encountered a top divine general of RRR quality, they were no match.
As the enemy army advanced halfway, Bai Qi suddenly led his cavalry out of the hidden formation and charged into the enemy's center.
When a top-tier cavalry force unleashed its true charge, its terrifying power became apparent. Especially with Bai Qi personally leading the charge, it could only be described as horrifying.
Furthermore, Bai Qi was accompanied by top-tier auxiliary generals such as Li Xin, Meng Yi, Meng Ao, Meng Yi, and Meng Tian. Each of these generals could command an army on their own, yet now they served as mere deputies.
It was precisely because this army was filled with talent that its terrifying power could be unleashed.
Before the cavalry arrived, countless arrows rained down on the enemy, inflicting heavy casualties.
Although the enemy generals realized they had fallen into an ambush, their SSS quality dictated that they immediately began to reorganize their troops, ordering archers to counter-attack and cavalry to engage Bai Qi's cavalry.
If Bai Qi's army were allowed to penetrate their ranks, the losses would be immense.
However, Bai Qi's mounts were no ordinary warhorses; they were elite monsters of high level and strength. These mounts let out terrifying roars, which caused the enemy's three thousand warhorses to become timid and scatter in panic.
Coupled with the deterrence Bai Qi brought, these three thousand cavalrymen failed to exert any effect and instead caused chaos among their own soldiers, even trampling some to death.
The enemy generals were dumbfounded. Their decisions were not wrong; the mistake was not understanding Bai Qi or judging his formidable power.
As a result, the three thousand cavalrymen not only had no effect but also became a hindrance.
Even the archers failed to inflict any damage on the cavalry. The enemy's defense was too strong, as a barrier appeared, blocking the arrows.
"It's over," the enemy general, seeing the lightning-fast speed of the enemy cavalry, knew that his army was utterly doomed.
As soldiers emerged from all directions and began to surround the enemy, the enemy general knew that even escaping would be a problem.
"Break through a bloody path!" As an SSS-quality general, even in deep encirclement, he would fight to the end. He personally drew his weapon and led his soldiers to attempt a breakout from one direction.
The two sides engaged in close combat, and Bai Qi's cavalry directly penetrated the enemy's center, trampling the infantry back and forth.
Cavalry versus infantry was a one-sided battle with no resistance. Wave after wave of soldiers were dispatched by Bai Qi and his men.
The enemy general leading the breakout engaged in combat with a minor general, but as soon as they clashed, he was utterly speechless.
How could this subordinate be so powerful? And he was merely an auxiliary general?
He nearly lost his eyes upon seeing the opponent's equipment. Damn it, this was a full set of diamond equipment.
Even ordinary soldiers were in diamond sets, which were superior to his own equipment as a general commanding tens of thousands of men.
How could they possibly fight?
Who were these people?
With such doubts, he was completely killed.
With the enemy general dead, the remaining soldiers still put up a desperate struggle. There was no other choice but death, as this was an event map, and they wouldn't truly die even if they perished.
