The situation outside the territory had long been understood by Zhou Yan through his reconnaissance drones. There were indeed many monsters outside, along with numerous opportunities.
The trial held by Ziwei Academy had prepared many good things for Zhou Yan and the others. Zhou Yan was currently leading a thousand cavalry towards the first destination, which was not far from him, only two kilometers away.
As for the soldiers under his command, they also departed towards the outside in squads of a thousand.
A distance of two kilometers was very close to the territory. It was a spiritual herb, growing on the ground.
However, as they approached, a level 50 Dark Gold quality Boss suddenly appeared nearby.
"Oh, so every treasure is guarded by monsters," Zhou Yan immediately understood the conditions for these triggers.
These monsters required no action from Zhou Yan. Upon seeing the monster, An Tian flew over, unleashed a powerful burst of light, and attacked the monster with a clenched fist.
"Bang!"
The monster was instantly killed by An Tian. A level 50 Dark Gold Boss was no match for a top-tier powerhouse like An Tian.
The soldiers stepped forward to collect the monster's corpse and pluck the spiritual herb. Zhou Yan then proceeded to the next location.
"Whoa, one-shot kill. That was a level 50 Dark Gold Boss, and it was killed just like that. That's too powerful."
Everyone was greatly surprised, looking at the person beside Zhou Yan. But then they thought that for someone like Zhou Yan, it was normal to have a few powerful individuals around him.
After all, many people also had powerful bodyguards arranged by their families to protect them in their territories. They assumed Zhou Yan was in a similar situation.
Everyone was astonished by Zhou Yan's luck in obtaining spoils so quickly.
But they had no idea that the locations of these treasures had already been scouted. Who would pay attention to things as small as mosquitoes?
Zhou Yan had dispatched a hundred thousand soldiers, but only Zhou Yan's viewpoint was shown. If they were to display the viewpoints of all of Zhou Yan's soldiers, they would discover that they were all purposefully exploring outwards.
They, numbering from a thousand at most to a couple of hundred at least, were searching for treasures everywhere. Soon, they discovered various items scattered outside.
Each item was guarded by one, or even a group of monsters. The better the item, the more powerful the monsters guarding it.
These items varied, but their purpose was clear: they emitted light and lay on the ground, waiting for the students to find them.
Furthermore, hidden places within the forest also yielded rewards, with many finding chests containing all sorts of treasures.
Zhou Yan was in a plain, but over a hundred kilometers away was a forest.
There were no obstructions in the plain, so anything in such a place was clear to see. Zhou Yan had already led his subordinates to find several treasures.
They were all spiritual herbs, and these herbs were quite good, making other students extremely envious.
They were regretting not having developed their territories better. Otherwise, they too could have dispatched soldiers to search for treasures outside their territories like other students.
Zhou Yan arrived at another location. According to the reconnaissance drone's footage, it was a chest. As for what was inside, Zhou Yan did not know.
Moments later, Zhou Yan reached the location and began to approach. As they got within about 300 meters of the treasure chest, monsters appeared.
And it wasn't just one or two monsters, but a swarm.
"Whoa, so many monsters." Zhou Yan looked at the information of these monsters.
【Monster: Purple Origin Rat Monster】
【Quality: Leader】
【Race: Monster】
【Level: 54】
【Special: Sharp Teeth, Burrowing】
【Description: Monsters summoned by mysterious energy, extremely enraged.】
Looking at the monsters that appeared, there were over ten thousand of them, all leader-level monsters above level 50. Among them were many Bosses of Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers.
"Charge!" Zhou Yan commanded his "Great Han Iron Cavalry."
"Rumble!"
Following the command, the soldiers quickly formed a battle formation and charged towards the monsters. Instantly, the ground rumbled, only the scene of iron cavalry galloping.
Zhou Yan, meanwhile, stood his ground, pointing and directing, watching his soldiers charge.
The soldiers' strength was immense. Under the charge of this cavalry, the monsters were killed, trampled, and completely destroyed. Ten thousand monsters were no match for a thousand cavalry and were all slain.
After one charge, only a few thousand monsters remained. Their terrifying combat power showed the other students what elite troops looked like.
"Whoa, these are over ten thousand leader monsters at level 50! They solved seventy percent in one charge!"
"Such powerful cavalry. Not a single soldier was wounded."
"These must be S-quality or higher cavalry, right?"
"I feel like their equipment is better than mine. Damn, how much money did this cost?"
......
Upon witnessing the combat power of these cavalry, the students let out gasps of astonishment, thoroughly shocked by the combat power displayed by these soldiers.
These soldiers were too powerful, their combat effectiveness was simply terrifying. Ten thousand monsters were almost wiped out in a single charge, and not a single soldier was harmed. This was utterly unbelievable.
How long had they been lords?
Only a few months. The combat effectiveness of other people's soldiers was incomparable to Zhou Yan's army!
Even many instructors were surprised, not expecting Zhou Yan to have such a powerful cavalry under his command.
"Who exactly is this Zhou Yan? He only became a lord a few months ago, yet he has developed his territory this powerfully. It's truly hard to believe."
The instructors all looked at Yang Junming, but he was also bewildered and quickly replied, "Why are you looking at me? I have no idea about such things, and it's not something we can inquire about. Have you all forgotten our academy's style?"
Ziwei Academy's style was defined by mystery.
Wasn't Zhou Yan very mysterious?
"He's your student. I don't believe you haven't investigated his background," the other instructors thought.
"Hurry up and tell us. I'm really curious about his background," the instructors asked one after another.
"Do you really want to know?" Yang Junming looked at them.
"Yes, stop dawdling."
"Zhou Yan's background is very simple. He's an orphan with no parents." Yang Junming replied.
