"Agreed! We agree!" the crowd shouted in unison.
"Since you have made your decision, I now declare that everyone will accompany me to the imperial palace of the territory," Zhou Yan said.
...
Inside the territory's imperial palace, all civil and military officials were discussing, and their faces were filled with anger.
At this time, in the territory's imperial palace, Zhou Yan sat on the dragon throne and looked at everyone below.
"My dear ministers, what do you think we should do?" Zhou Yan asked the civil officials below.
"Lord, the goal of these demons is to destroy the entire territory. We must stop the demons' conspiracy and absolutely cannot let these demons destroy our territory's homeland!" Li Mu said righteously, as if it were his faith.
"Lord, the leader of these demons has been eliminated, so the demons are nothing to fear. Moreover, your strength has been restored, and now is the time for our territory to rise!" an old soldier said excitedly.
"Lord, your subordinate is willing to lead troops to resist these demons, but these demons are too powerful. I wonder what plans the Lord has." another general said, looking at Zhou Yan.
"I already have a plan. As long as we follow this plan, our territory will definitely be able to completely annihilate these demons!" Zhou Yan said decisively.
"Lord, please speak," Li Mu said.
"This plan is called the 'Demon Extermination Plan', and it is aimed at those foreign races," Zhou Yan said.
"Please instruct us, Lord," everyone said with cupped hands.
"I have discovered that these demons arrange their formations according to the strength of the territory. Therefore, we must change our strategy. We will kill the weaker demons first, and then slowly nibble away at their power," Zhou Yan said.
"The Lord is wise!" everyone said in unison. They agreed with Zhou Yan's proposal because these demons were too powerful, especially those at the Saint level. If these demons were not completely eliminated, the territory would eventually be destroyed by them.
"Then we will proceed according to the Lord's plan," Li Mu said.
"Good, then the next task will be arranged by General Li Mu," Zhou Yan nodded and said.
"Lord, please rest assured, your subordinate will not fail your high expectations!" Li Mu said.
Next, Zhou Yan left the Monster Beast Forest. Zhou Yan did not return to the imperial capital but went directly to the northern border to set up camp. Zhou Yan was also not idle and began to assemble an army.
In the past few days, Zhou Yan took out the treasures from his storage ring and gave them to the soldiers, along with some money, telling them to protect their homeland and their loved ones.
The soldiers worked even harder after receiving the money.
"Lord, our grain and equipment are also not very sufficient." Zhou Yan looked at the storage ring in his hand. He had just taken off the ring he obtained from the demon's corpse. This ring was strange, and there was no space inside.
"The space in this ring is infinite. You can produce grain and medicine inside it," Zhou Yan said.
"Lord, your ring is truly miraculous. With so much grain and medicine, our territory can overcome this disaster," Li Mu said with a smile.
"Yes, I will let the people of the territory learn how to refine these elixirs and bring them along. This way, our victory will be even greater." Li Mu said.
"Yes, that's good," Zhou Yan said.
During this time, under Zhou Yan's training, the combat power of these soldiers became stronger and stronger. Although they did not have Zhou Yan's strength, they also had considerable cultivation. This was the advantage of the territory.
The territory was favored by heaven and earth, with excellent talent. Even the most ordinary territory could quickly become stronger with a little opportunity.
"Lord, our territory has suffered heavy losses this time. More than five hundred million people have died, and more than five hundred million remain. I don't know if we can hold on," a civil official walked up to Zhou Yan and said.
"Whether we can get through it or not, we must fight with all our might!" Zhou Yan said with gritted teeth after a moment of silence.
"Yes, Lord!" all the civil officials shouted loudly.
Then Zhou Yan ordered all the armies to assemble. After the armies were assembled, they began to act. Zhou Yan stayed in the imperial palace, waiting for the matter to ferment. This great purge was mainly to absorb fresh blood and at least let the people of the territory know that the territory had begun to counterattack.
Zhou Yan also issued a series of orders, telling the soldiers to conquer the demons, while he took a few people to search for the traces of the demon leaders. Zhou Yan was not sure where the demon leader was.
"Report! Your Lordship, a large number of demons have been discovered on the front lines!" A soldier rushed over and said while Zhou Yan and his group were on their way.
"What, quickly lead the way!" Zhou Yan stood up immediately upon hearing the soldier's words.
"Lord, this way, please." The soldier said respectfully.
"Let's go!" Zhou Yan immediately followed the soldier forward upon hearing his words.
Soon, Zhou Yan saw dense crowds of demons approaching from a distance.
"Order all archers to fire!" Zhou Yan shouted at the demons.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, pfft, pfft, pfft~"
Instantly, countless arrows flew towards the demons.
"Roar, roar, roar, roar~"
"Boom, boom, boom~"
"Bang, bang, bang~"
The demons were instantly repelled by Zhou Yan's archers, and the demons were clearly shocked by Zhou Yan. How did a territory suddenly appear?
"Lord, have we been exposed?" a Saint-level demon said.
"No, they are just hidden territories. Now that we have lured them all out, they must die!" the demon leader said ferociously.
"Haha, we can finally eat our fill this time." The demon leader laughed heartily and then continued to attack the territory.
"Hmph!" Zhou Yan snorted coldly and then rode his white tiger towards the demons.
The demon leader's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yan. "This is a good seedling. If I devour him, I should be able to reach another level, and my injuries will heal then." The demon leader said and rushed towards Zhou Yan.
"Kill!" Zhou Yan met him without any courtesy.
The two collided in mid-air.
