After breaking through this territory, Zhou Yan began to muster his troops. The outcome of this battle was an overwhelming victory.
His contribution was naturally the greatest. If he hadn't held off the enemy's defensive tower attacks, such great results wouldn't have been achieved.
A powerful individual is of vital importance to a territory. While his territory's overall strength was decent, there was still a shortage of top-tier experts, mainly because their cultivation time had been too short.
This was something that would take time to achieve, and there was no easy solution.
After the battle ended, a rough count showed they had lost over a hundred men. The enemy still had some strong individuals, and that lord's strength was quite considerable.
If the enemy's defensive towers hadn't been largely ineffective, his casualties would have been at least over a thousand.
Zhou Yan continued to divide his armies, sending them to battle in various directions.
For warriors of their caliber, fighting for days and nights was no trivial matter.
Zhou Yan then received a message from Yin Lihua, informing him that many soldiers had encountered soldiers from other lords. Some engagements had erupted, while others had not.
Zhou Yan instructed Yin Lihua to mark those territories on the map. They wouldn't attack them yet; it was crucial to first ascertain the strength of those territories.
If a territory wasn't strong, they could wait until the last day to eliminate it, thereby gaining more points. If a territory was too strong, they would leave them alone.
However, if an enemy attacked them, regardless of who they were, they would be annihilated without hesitation.
Yin Lihua relayed Zhou Yan's orders to all the generals.
Unbeknownst to Zhou Yan, Bai Qi had already arrived outside the second territory and had begun his assault.
An hour after the battle commenced, Bai Qi had once again destroyed a territory of considerable strength. Although over two thousand soldiers had fallen, war always involved casualties, and achieving victory at such a low cost was an excellent achievement.
Once Bai Qi initiated his offensive mode, there was no stopping him. Si Teng would use the intelligence gathered to judge the territory's strength based on its size. Fortunately, these territories were not excessively large, and their forces could handle them.
As the territory's soldiers marched across the land, the entire Mid-Autumn Festival event map erupted into conflict.
Some lords had only just dispatched their soldiers when their own territories came under attack from other enemies.
The distance between each lord was approximately fifty kilometers. Billions of lords engaged in fierce combat across this flat terrain, fighting for monsters and Mid-Autumn rabbits.
Within just one day of the event's start, numerous territories had been completely eliminated. As the number of participants dwindled, the event map slowly began to shrink, a fact that no one was aware of.
After defeating several more monsters, Zhou Yan checked his points, which had already reached over two thousand.
More points were always better. Points not only determined ranking but also the value of precious treasures one could exchange for.
Zhou Yan naturally desired to acquire more points. His advantages were significant: a large and powerful army, countless top-tier generals, and a mobile territory that could eliminate many monsters along the way.
Time passed quickly, and it was afternoon when Zhou Yan received news from Yin Lihua: three armies were gathered not far ahead, locked in a chaotic battle.
"Oh, a free-for-all? That's good, we can eliminate them all at once," Zhou Yan said happily.
"The three armies are not small in number, totaling at least fifty thousand men. However, they are fighting independently, and their strengths are roughly equal," Yin Lihua transmitted the image to Zhou Yan.
"Have their territories been scouted?" Zhou Yan asked.
"They have been scouted. The three territories are not far apart, all within a fifty-kilometer radius," Yin Lihua replied.
Zhou Yan immediately ordered the nearby troops to march towards the battlefield, intending to annihilate all those soldiers.
As his soul coins had increased significantly, he began to level up the soldiers participating in the battle. Billions of soul coins were spent this way, elevating the levels of the soldiers under his command by several tiers.
The nearby soldiers, hearing that they could participate in battle again, were overjoyed and quickly converged on the battlefield. By the time they arrived, the three factions were still engaged in fierce combat.
As Zhou Yan's shout of "Attack!" echoed, fifty thousand soldiers surrounded the enemy forces and launched their charge.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yan, along with Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Sun Shangxiang, Nie Xiaoqian, the Elder and Younger Qiao, Dian Wei, and many other generals, also charged into the fray.
The three warring factions, witnessing the thunderous shouts of their enemies, were stunned. None of them had expected another force to appear, and their numbers were even greater than the combined strength of the three factions.
The three factions immediately halted their fighting, regrouped with their respective commanders, and attempted to break out in three different directions.
"Charge!"
Zhou Yan's soldiers formed battle formations, becoming a surging tide that crashed against the weary soldiers. As countless arrows rained down upon the enemies, many fell under their volley.
As they closed in, Zhou Yan's soldiers unleashed their formidable power, instantly shattering the enemy formations and engaging the three factions in full combat.
Zhou Yan's soldiers, each powerful and numerous, destroyed half the enemy forces in a single charge. The remaining half did not survive the second wave of attacks.
Yin Lihua informed Zhou Yan that due to the proximity of three territories, the monsters in the vicinity had been almost entirely eliminated by those three territories.
After eliminating these forces, Zhou Yan pondered and decided to divide his troops into two groups to attack two known territories.
Since there were no more monsters, their only option was to attack other people's territories, as the nearby monsters had all been killed.
Zhou Yan personally led one group, while Diao Chan led the other. However, other heroes assisted, so Diao Chan wouldn't have to exert herself personally. Regardless, their strength was immense, and Zhou Yan was confident that those territories would be easily conquered.
After a considerable time, Zhou Yan arrived at one territory and immediately launched his assault. Within half an hour, the entire territory was subdued, with five casualties.
He also received good news from Diao Chan's group; they had successfully breached their target territory.
There was still one more territory nearby. Zhou Yan led twenty-four thousand men towards it.
