Tony, having been in the Lord Continent for so long, was highly vigilant. He immediately ordered, "I suspect the opponent is ready to make a move against us. We can't wait any longer. We can either leave this area and explore from another direction, but I feel that method won't work."
"We don't know how the opponent discovered us this time, which proves they have extremely powerful reconnaissance capabilities. We don't know how much preparation they've made or how many people they have. But since we've come, we can't leave empty-handed."
Jason nodded and then asked, "Should we summon our territories over? Otherwise, by the time the enemy surrounds us, we might not even have time to escape."
Tony nodded and said, "I originally planned to figure out the enemy's specific strength before acting. Now, we can only summon our territories first and let our demon legions see just how strong the enemy is."
"Alright, then we'll start summoning!" Jason and the others, as mercenary lords, were naturally unafraid. They had already turned the destruction of other people's territories into a hobby, something that excited them.
"Wait, our main objective this time is just reconnaissance, so let's summon three lords first and be prepared to retreat at any moment," Tony added.
"Boss, aren't you being a bit too cautious?" Another team member, Aokai, said.
"No, no, no, the enemy this time is not simple. Being able to annihilate hundreds of thousands of Alliance troops of Ous proves the enemy's strength is extraordinary. I think the price I quoted was still too low."
Tony's ability to survive for so long and become a renowned mercenary lord was largely due to his caution and prudence; otherwise, he would have been eliminated long ago.
"Boss, how many territories are we planning to summon this time?" Jason asked.
Tony looked at the dozen or so team members and then said, "Three this time. Just Jason, Aokai, and Diana's territories. And take this along."
Tony waved his hand, producing a dozen scrolls and handing them to his team members.
Jason took one and said, "Boss, you've even prepared this? Aren't you being a little too cautious?"
The others felt the same way. Was it necessary to be so secure?
"My intuition tells me that the enemy we're facing this time is very powerful. We have no understanding of their country, specific troop strength, or territory, yet we were discovered by them first. Believe me, this will be a very interesting battle."
Tony was a very wise and cautious opponent. The high completion rate of his team was basically due to his command.
Upon hearing their boss say this, the other team members naturally chose to believe him.
Subsequently, Jason, Aokai, and Diana took out a prop and summoned their territories.
As the three territories descended from the sky, Zhang Liang received the news immediately.
He knew his intuition was correct, so Zhang Liang ordered the various legions in his territory to begin assembling towards the outer territories.
Zhou Yan also learned of this and said, "Bai Qi, our Flying Dragon Legion will not participate in this battle. They will wait until the necessary moment to act. I don't want to expose the Flying Dragon Legion of my territory yet."
Bai Qi nodded and then asked, "Will you be personally commanding this time?"
Shaking his head, Zhou Yan said, "Leave matters like this to you. I just need to know the results."
Bai Qi nodded and then said to Meng Tian, "Meng Tian, you will temporarily lead the Flying Dragon Legion. Do not appear on the battlefield. I will have Wei Yixiao's Shadow Wing Riders return."
"Yes!" Meng Tian nodded.
Afterward, Zhou Yan flew back to his territory, while Bai Qi, riding his Qiongqi, began to converge with the army.
On the other side, Tony's demon mercenary legion also summoned three territories. Tony ordered the territories of these three to each send out twenty thousand troops.
Jason's territory was composed of heavily armored cavalry. Their mounts were also creatures with strong defense, stamina, and carrying capacity, rendering ordinary arrows useless against them.
They were all clad in matching dark gold armor, and even their mounts were protected. The level of these cavalry units was 80, and each soldier's cultivation realm was around the fortieth heaven.
More importantly, the quality of these cavalry units was SSS-grade. The bonuses from their territory and buildings were significant.
Another point was that the race of these cavalry units was demon. Demon cavalry were far more powerful than ordinary human cavalry.
Aokai's territory was composed of infantry, also of the demon race, and they were all clad in full sets of dark gold armor.
However, among the soldiers Aokai deployed, ten thousand were heavy infantry with powerful offensive capabilities. The quality of this barracks was R-grade, not to be underestimated.
As for the other ten thousand soldiers, they were lightly armored infantry with high movement speed, effective for pursuing enemies. This barracks was only S-grade, but it was rare for anyone on the entire Lord Continent to be able to equip such an army.
As for Diana's territory, she was a female lord, and her territory consisted entirely of ranged demon units, specifically shamans.
However, these shamans came from top-tier RRR-grade barracks and possessed the strongest destructive power. This group of shamans could unleash terrifying might.
Their weapons were of platinum quality, while their armor was only bronze.
For a ranged army, these shamans only needed sufficient attack power; nothing else was crucial.
The level of these shamans was also above level 80, and their cultivation realm was around the fiftieth heaven.
Tony's subordinates each specialized in developing a single type of troop. Although their focus was narrow, their combined power was immense.
If they lacked strength, how could Tony have become a mercenary lord?
And this was only the territories of three of his subordinates; the territories of others had yet to be summoned.
However, Tony was indeed cautious. This time, he merely intended to gauge the strength of Zhou Yan's territory and did not plan to defeat Zhou Yan's soldiers in one fell swoop.
These assembled soldiers formed battle formations, standing ready. Soon, they moved to a defensive position three kilometers in front of their territory, seemingly waiting for Zhou Yan to attack them.
