Everyone was shocked to see Zhou Yan attack others in four different directions simultaneously.
Was this overconfidence in his strength, or sheer arrogance?
Zhou Yan's decision, of course, had its reasons.
From the intelligence he gathered, he found that other people's territories had at most stone walls, some even using wooden vine fences.
Facing such defenses, how could they withstand a cavalry charge like wolves and tigers?
Outsiders couldn't see his city walls. If they could, they would be utterly speechless.
While others' territories were still at the stone wall stage, Zhou Yan's territory had already constructed city walls, and top-tier ones at that. Crucially, the exterior of these walls was dragon-shaped.
They were also tens of meters high.
Fortunately, they couldn't see them, or they'd be shocked again.
Curious about the strength of Zhou Yan's soldiers, their gazes began to follow the soldiers led by Zhou Yan.
They also wanted to see how skilled Zhou Yan was at commanding battles.
This cavalry was incredibly fast, and every soldier looked extraordinary. They started speculating about the quality of this cavalry unit.
They observed other lords, who were all gathering intelligence and hadn't attacked other territories yet.
Some lords, less fortunate, were still facing monster sieges and had no idea about their surroundings.
Even Ye Bufan's territory was currently quiet, with no intention of attacking other lords.
They all hesitated to send troops out. Once soldiers were dispatched, their own territories would be in danger of being taken.
Furthermore, even if you attacked first, if you lacked the power to break through the enemy's territory, they might counterattack your own.
The entire misty region, apart from Zhou Yan's four-pronged assault, appeared calm on the surface, but everyone was holding back their urge to march.
Zhou Yan encountered monster blockades on the way, but he didn't even spare these monsters a second glance.
He led his numerous soldiers forward, crushing these monsters directly. Many mounts devoured monsters in a single gulp, treating them like snacks.
Many people were utterly speechless!
These mounts were too formidable, treating monsters as snacks? What kind of mounts were these?
Could other students withstand such an army?
In their hearts, they began to offer condolences to the other students.
Facing such a terrifying lord, they could only pray for their own luck.
Let alone the students, even many instructors were greatly surprised after seeing Zhou Yan's army. They couldn't imagine the cost Zhou Yan must have paid to build such an army!
These mounts were not easy to acquire.
And the equipment on those soldiers was uniformly platinum sets. The wealth required for just one soldier was an immense fortune.
Such financial power was truly terrifying.
They would never know that these armies were only a part of the territory.
They would also not know that these mounts were captured directly.
They would never know that as long as he wished, he could capture any number of powerful mounts.
They would absolutely not imagine that Zhou Yan's wealth had reached a level where even he himself was unaware of it.
Zhou Yan was already very close to the enemy's territory. His scouts had already cleared out all the enemy's sentries posted outside.
Upon seeing the enemy's stone wall, which was barely three meters high, Zhou Yan directly ordered, "Form ranks, charge!"
The vanguard was the [Great Han Iron Cavalry], as only they had cavalry skill bonuses; the other two troop types lacked this advantage.
The [Great Han Iron Cavalry] immediately formed ranks, doubling their forward speed and emitting a powerful aura. They charged towards the enemy's territory like a primal beast.
While charging, the [Great Han Iron Cavalry] launched their attack on the territory ahead, and a torrent of arrows rained down into the enemy lines.
Before the enemy could react, they were riddled with arrows.
Their [Arrow Towers] also retaliated, firing a volley of arrows at the [Great Han Iron Cavalry].
Unfortunately, the [Great Han Iron Cavalry]'s defense was incredibly strong. This volley of arrows couldn't even break through their formation's defensive shield before the [Great Han Iron Cavalry] reached the stone wall.
"Boom!"
The immense charge of the [Great Han Iron Cavalry], coupled with mount bonuses, building bonuses, and their top-tier cavalry attributes.
With a single charge, the enemy's stone wall was shattered.
Everyone was greatly shocked by the destructive power of this powerful cavalry.
"This is definitely not an ordinary cavalry!"
"This cavalry possesses military formations, and their charging speed earlier was too incredible."
"Such speed, such combat power, is simply terrifying."
"This is undoubtedly the misfortune of other students."
Once the [Great Han Iron Cavalry] entered the enemy territory, they began a brutal slaughter of the people within.
They first destroyed the enemy's defense towers and then charged directly towards the enemy's crystal.
The lord of this territory was still in his room contemplating how to attack others.
Soon, he heard the sounds of an all-out assault. Wang Hu was stunned. Before he could comprehend what was happening, he heard a subordinate rush in reporting, "Reporting to the lord, the enemy has broken in!"
Wang Hu quickly stood up and said incredulously, "How is this possible? We have three-meter-high stone walls and so many arrow towers guarding us, how could the enemy have broken in..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a troop of cavalry charged towards him. His eyes widened in disbelief as he wondered how cavalry could appear, when an arrow pierced his forehead.
Wang Hu became Zhou Yan's second annihilated lord.
When Wang Hu was teleported outside, his head was still buzzing.
He immediately looked towards the misty battlefield and found his territory, which was being massacred.
He saw a troop of cavalry, like wolves and tigers, rampaging through his territory.
"This, this, how is this possible... how can there be such cavalry at this stage..."
Wang Hu's eyes widened, unable to comprehend the outcome.
Other lords quickly consoled him, "Accept reality, nothing is impossible."
The first lord to be annihilated felt strangely better knowing he had a companion.
He also stepped forward to comfort Wang Hu, "We are all fellow sufferers, we can just watch."
"You were defeated too," Wang Hu, having accepted his reality, said, "Seeing you made me feel much better."
The first lord to be annihilated: "/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~"
"Can you tell me whose army this is? It should be Ye Bufan's, right?" Wang Hu asked quickly.
"Look for yourself!" The first lord, filled with rage, was in a terrible mood and didn't want to speak.
"What's wrong? Failure is the mother of success; without failure, there is no success. We should all face life with a smile," Wang Hu said, attempting to comfort the first lord in return.
"Smile my ass!"
Wang Hu: "[・_・?]???"
