Zhang Liang waited until the battles in all three directions concluded before compiling the casualty figures provided by the three generals, then sent a message to Zhou Yan: "Lord, the battle results for the three enemy forces are out."
At this moment, Zhou Yan was in the [Heavenly Emperor's Palace] chatting with Nangong Pushi, Wang Chudong, Yu Youwei, and Xuanyuan Qingfeng.
Upon hearing Zhang Liang's words, he inquired, "We won, didn't we?"
"Yes, we won all of them, and it was a completely one-sided victory. Our army annihilated the enemy with minimal casualties..."
Zhang Liang then detailed the battle situation for the three fronts to Zhou Yan, including the casualties for each legion and the spoils of war seized after the battles.
Zhou Yan, listening with satisfaction, said, "Those territories won't just let this matter go. I'll entrust the entire handling of this to you. I have only one requirement: no matter how many people they send, kill them!"
"Yes, Lord!" Zhang Liang replied.
The immense confidence stemmed from Zhou Yan now possessing two experts at the Earthly Immortal realm. With his background and the territory's powerful defensive attributes, Zhou Yan no longer needed to conceal himself.
He truly feared no enemy now. Whoever dared to come would be annihilated.
With hundreds of thousands of troops in the territory, two experts at the Earthly Immortal realm, and five hundred thousand dragon mounts, what did he have to fear now?
Perhaps there weren't many experts above the seventy-second heaven in the territory, but the enemy didn't know the territory's situation. Once they saw how vast his territory was and its external defenses, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Such a wide moat, such majestic city walls, such a vast territory – would they be afraid?
They certainly would be.
They had no understanding of his territory's situation and couldn't see anything within it. Just the moat and structures like the [Great Wall] would be enough to leave them dumbfounded.
Not to mention the territory's numerous top-tier defensive towers. If the enemy didn't want to die, they could just try attacking and experience the exhilarating consequences of being bombarded.
In the past, Zhou Yan lacked sufficient foundation and worried about everything he did. But now, he no longer needed to.
While he might not be the absolute strongest, it wouldn't be easy for others to deal with him.
He could now support many people and countless armies, but he certainly wouldn't accept ordinary troops.
Barracks buildings weren't easy to acquire, especially those above B-grade, which were even harder to come by.
But Zhou Yan wasn't in a hurry. The current troop numbers were sufficient. It was just that the barracks' levels weren't very high and required advanced materials to upgrade further.
Nangong Pushi, Wang Chudong, Yu Youwei, and Xuanyuan Qingfeng were quite surprised upon hearing Zhou Yan's words and asked, "Was the territory attacked?"
"Enemies hundreds of kilometers away attempted to attack me, but they were already dealt with by my subordinate soldiers," Zhou Yan replied.
"You didn't command them personally?" Yu Youwei looked at Zhou Yan.
"It's a minor matter, why would I need to command it personally? I have talented generals under me. If they can't even handle such a small battle, and every battle requires my personal attention, wouldn't I be exhausted?" Zhou Yan said with great confidence.
For other lords, facing every battle would certainly require their personal presence to feel at ease.
But Zhou Yan's soldiers and generals were all top-tier commanders. Coupled with the assistance of countless reconnaissance aircraft in every battle, they engaged in highly targeted combat against the enemy.
If they still managed to lose under such circumstances, it would only mean the enemy was too strong, and they were completely outmatched.
However, such a situation was extremely rare, even impossible to occur frequently.
"Aren't you worried about your soldiers rebelling?" Wang Chudong asked with doubt.
"Rebelling?" Zhou Yan laughed heartily upon hearing this unfamiliar word. "Impossible."
With one hundred percent loyalty, rebellion?
Zhou Yan had never even considered such a thing.
"Seeing how pleased you are, I'd like to witness what warfare is like in this world," Xuanyuan Qingfeng said curiously.
"You can go to the command center to watch anytime. There are many interesting battles to see there," Zhou Yan said.
"Sister Diao Chan told me a lot about it, and how we can see things from other worlds. It's called a cinema, the place we came from," Wang Chudong suddenly remembered something.
"You can go and see it when you have time," Zhou Yan replied.
Then, Zhou Yan turned to Nangong Pushi and said, "We haven't sparred in a while. I'll take you somewhere to spar."
"My strength has increased a lot recently, you might not be my opponent," Nangong Pushi nodded upon hearing Zhou Yan's words. She also wanted to see if she could defeat Zhou Yan now.
Zhou Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I'm very resilient. I'm just afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Seeing their confusion about his words, Zhou Yan quickly led Nangong Pushi away from the [Heavenly Emperor's Palace].
"Where are we going? To the [Martial Training Space]?"
Nangong Pushi had been frequenting that place recently to spar with the territory's generals, and she was quite strong, having defeated many of them.
Nangong Pushi was still dressed in men's attire, but her exquisite features and stunningly beautiful face remained exceptionally handsome and pretty.
Zhou Yan had long been captivated by Nangong Pushi. The moment she appeared, he had wanted to make a move, but he never found the opportunity. Now was a perfect chance.
A woman like this, if he didn't make a move, would he wait for someone else to?
"No, we're going to another place to spar. It's quite good," Zhou Yan smiled, leaving Nangong Pushi puzzled. Where else in the territory could be a good place for a proper spar?
Arriving below the [Ling Xiao Treasure Hall], Zhou Yan said, "It's here."
Nangong Pushi looked up, her eyes full of curiosity, and said, "I've always been curious about this place before, but it seems only you can go up there."
Zhou Yan stepped forward, took Nangong Pushi's hand, and said, "From now on, if you want to be up there, you can be up there."
Nangong Pushi couldn't break free, so she went along with Zhou Yan. After all, Zhou Yan had often held her hand before.
With a flash of light, Zhou Yan had brought Nangong Pushi up to the [Ling Xiao Treasure Hall].
Nangong Pushi was also very curious about this place and asked, "So this is a palace."
"Do you like it? If you like it, you can live here," Zhou Yan said.
