The battle continued for another night. After holding out for one night, the inner city walls of Taiyin City were finally breached, and then conquered by the armies of Yue Fei and Sun Wu.
The Demigod of Taiyin City made a move, but the Demigods on Zhou Yan's side also took action.
The two sides engaged in battle again. This time, without the support of the Demigod powerhouses from Anwu City, their two Demigods were directly killed by Li Chungang and others.
A beam of light shot from the ground into the sky.
"Lord, the territory of Anwu City has been teleported away," Shang Yang said to Zhou Yan.
"The opponent is quite smart and decisive. If they had continued to stay, it would have been our turn to attack their territory," Zhou Yan said.
"They also left behind hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Should we kill them or capture them?" Shang Yang asked.
"Leave that to Bai Qi to handle. I don't care," Zhou Yan replied.
"Understood," Shang Yang responded.
As for how Bai Qi would handle it.
What would the God of Slaughter do?
There was no need to think about it.
The result was as Shang Yang had imagined: Bai Qi's methods were swift and decisive, killing them all.
Zhang Liang did not intervene. Since the enemy lords were still alive, capturing them would not result in much loyalty. It was better to eliminate them.
The Lord of Taiyin City flew directly towards Zhou Yan's location, unleashing a terrifying energy attack towards Zhou Yan, clearly intending to kill him.
How could Zhou Yan be so easily dealt with? Even several Demigods could not gain the upper hand against him. How could a mere lord, who had not yet reached the Demigod realm, be Zhou Yan's opponent?
Zhou Yan extended his hand, which transformed into a giant palm. With a gentle squeeze, he crushed the opponent's attack.
"With just this amount of energy, you want to kill me?" Zhou Yan looked disdainfully at the Lord of Taiyin City.
"You destroyed everything I had, ruined all that I possessed. I want you dead, I want to kill you!" The Lord of Taiyin City had descended into madness, taking out several scrolls.
But before he could use them, the Lord of Taiyin City found himself unable to move. He was immobilized, and then, in the next second, terrifying spatial energy completely tore his body apart.
As the crystal of Taiyin City was shattered, the battle finally came to an end.
Next was the time to collect spoils of war.
Taiyin City was too vast, and there were many things to plunder, including buildings and various resources, all of which were extremely precious.
"Lord, can we arrange for people to start collecting resources?" Shang Yang asked.
"Yes," Zhou Yan replied.
The buildings salvaged from Taiyin City were too numerous. The soldiers spent several days dismantling them all.
Zhou Yan then began constructing various buildings. His territory gained countless new types of buildings, especially barracks, which increased significantly.
For example, the six barracks for the "White Ear Elite Soldiers," "Qi Family Army," "Tiger Stripe Cavalry," "Wei Wu Battalion," "Hu-style Knights," and "Huben Army" all housed very powerful soldiers.
The total number of barrack buildings in Taiyin City was naturally not limited to these, but Zhou Yan upgraded the quality of all the barracks he deemed subpar until their quality reached RRR or question mark level before stopping.
Whether it was various resources or buildings, the harvest from Taiyin City this time was indeed abundant.
Attacking enemy territories was indeed the fastest way to get rich, and after eliminating enemies, one could also obtain many treasure chests, much like killing monsters.
After Zhou Yan constructed all these buildings, he began upgrading them.
Zhou Yan spent several days just building and upgrading structures, and these constructions further expanded the territory by a considerable area.
The entire territory was increasingly resembling a nation.
Next, Zhou Yan upgraded all these barracks. Each barrack summoned one hundred thousand soldiers. As for the level of these soldiers, they would have to rely on the territory's dungeons to level up.
Since the "Qi Family Army" was a unit with semi-naval characteristics and also provided buffs to naval units, Zhou Yan also began forming a navy and used the "Hero Summoning Token" obtained this time to summon naval generals.
The "Hall of Heroes" prompt: "Using Hero Summoning Token, summoned naval talent, Qi Jiguang!"
"Good, good. The first summoned is Qi Jiguang, a renowned general," Zhou Yan was very satisfied and continued the summoning.
The "Hall of Heroes" prompt: "Using Hero Summoning Token, summoned naval talent, Zhang Liao!"
The "Hall of Heroes" prompt: "Using Hero Summoning Token, summoned naval talent, Zhou Tai!"
...
"Oh, Zhang Liao is also a naval talent!" Zhou Yan was surprised, but the system would never be wrong.
This time, he summoned Qi Jiguang, Zhang Liao, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, and others.
Zhou Yan appointed Qi Jiguang as the commander of the "Qi Family Army." He was the general who founded this unit and could unleash its maximum potential.
As for the others, they could only serve as Qi Jiguang's deputy generals.
Zhou Yan currently only had one naval force, and he was naturally dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. He only had one naval force now, and he would have to wait for the future.
"Lord, all the lumber outside has been felled. We collected a large amount of eight-star lumber this time, with only one-third being nine-star lumber," Xun Yu reported to Zhou Yan.
"Yes, I understand. We still need to continue preparing. I will teleport to the next resource point immediately," Zhou Yan said.
"Yes," Xun Yu left.
The lumber outside was completely felled in just ten days.
Considering that this area had been collected by Taiyin City for some time, the time taken was even less.
However, all the resources collected by the opponent had been taken by Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's territory had too many lumberjacks, so the speed of resource collection was naturally faster.
With these resources, his territory now had several max-level buildings, but it was still not enough. Zhou Yan still needed a large amount of top-tier resources.
After everything was concluded, Zhou Yan once again looked at the coordinates of the next large resource point. This place had the largest stone reserves on the entire Myriad Worlds Lord continent. Zhou Yan did not know if any other lords had managed to mine it.
Zhou Yan still needed to make all the necessary preparations.
The next second, Zhou Yan began to teleport his territory towards the next resource location.
As the territory teleported again, it soon landed in a primeval forest.
There were many monsters here. As soon as they landed, countless monsters appeared around them and headed towards the territory.
As for the number of defensive towers to activate, there were naturally soldiers to manage them, so Zhou Yan did not need to worry about it.
After a while, dense clusters of monsters appeared around the territory, charging towards it.
But before they could get close, terrifying defensive towers unleashed destructive energy, completely annihilating them.
After half an hour, these monsters no longer dared to approach. Zhou Yan also obtained information about the vicinity.
Fortunately, there were no other lords nearby, and the stone reserves here had not been mined yet.
