Zhou Yan had already arrived at Dongxing City.
Zhou Yan also learned of the events at the territory. With over two million enemies, this would be the largest battle the territory had ever faced.
Therefore, Zhou Yan said to Hou Junji and the others, "You all return to the territory to provide support. As for my safety, you don't need to worry."
With two Demigod-level experts by Zhou Yan's side, these generals naturally had no objections. They all cupped their fists and said to Zhou Yan, "Yes, Lord!"
"The enemy this time is over two million strong, this will definitely be an exciting battle."
"We can have a good fight this time."
"We can earn military merits again."
"Then let's see who kills more enemies this time."
"Let's see! Who's afraid of whom!"
Dian Wei and the others used their return stones and went back to the territory, immediately reporting to Bai Qi.
Afterward, Zhou Yan looked at An Tian and Liu Li and said, "There are many experts among the enemy this time. You two should go back and help as well."
"Okay." The two nodded, took out their return stones, and returned to the territory.
After the generals had left, Chang'e also came out and said to Zhou Yan, "I also want to take the [Guanghan Fairies] to fight."
"The territory cannot be without soldiers to guard it. If you take them away, there will be no one to protect the territory. Don't worry, Bai Qi and Sun Wu are very capable, and with Zhang Liang and Guo Jia, this battle will be difficult, but I believe they will win." Zhou Yan said.
"Alright." Chang'e said no more after hearing Zhou Yan's words.
"I want to go back and help the soldiers," Cai Yan said to Zhou Yan, "My help to the soldiers is very great, and I can at least deal with their high-level generals."
Cai Yan's buffs and support were very powerful, and her effectiveness in the entire battle was indeed significant.
"I'll go back to protect Cai Yan too," Diao Chan also said to Zhou Yan.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, I don't want anything to happen to you two."
Although the territory had the ability to revive, Zhou Yan did not want them to get into trouble on the battlefield.
"Then we'll head back to the territory." The two women bid farewell to Zhou Yan and turned into beams of light, returning to the territory.
As for Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao, they had no intention of returning. This was war, and their role was not significant. Moreover, they were Zhou Yan's women and did not need to go to the battlefield.
"Are you going to war?" Ning Shui Qing looked at Zhou Yan.
"As a lord, war is inevitable. What's there to be divination about?" Zhou Yan replied.
"Alas! War means death. And you said the enemy is over two million strong, can you win?" Ning Shui Qing asked curiously.
"Until the war is over, no one can guarantee victory, but I have the determination and conviction to win!" Zhou Yan replied.
"Then how many soldiers does your territory have?" Ning Shui Qing asked curiously.
"The soldiers going into battle this time should be between eight and ninety thousand." Zhou Yan had not yet received news from Shang Yang, but it shouldn't be too different.
"Then isn't that a huge difference compared to the enemy? And you, the lord, aren't even personally commanding the battle? Are you that confident in your subordinates?" Ning Shui Qing was indeed surprised.
"If I, the lord, had to be present to command everything, then what would be the point of having subordinates?" Zhou Yan replied.
"You're just lazy," Xiao Zhao said.
"You can't say that. I trust my subordinates. If I were to command, how would the soldiers prove their prowess?" Zhou Yan replied.
Bai Qi had earned his fame through his own abilities. It was precisely because Zhou Yan had allowed him to play freely from the beginning that everyone had come to respect him.
If Zhou Yan had personally commanded every battle, Bai Qi would have had no opportunity to shine.
"Trusting your subordinates is a good thing. A person who only trusts themselves would be too lonely," Li Chungang, who had been silent all along, also said.
"Let's go out of the city. The tomb of a Demigod expert has attracted many people. Let's see what good things will come out of there," Zhou Yan said, leading everyone towards the outskirts of Dongxing City.
Zhou Yan's territory was about to fight an enemy of over two million, while he himself was going to rob a tomb.
There was probably only one lord in the world as confident and carefree as him.
...
After Diao Chan and Cai Yan returned to the territory, they were also about to join the army. However, they first saw Sun Shangxiang, who was leading her soldiers and preparing to march out of the territory.
"Shangxiang, you're going to fight too!" Diao Chan was very curious.
"With so many enemies this time, I want to take the soldiers I've trained out for some experience," Sun Shangxiang said.
"Does the lord know?" Diao Chan asked.
"Don't worry, I won't interfere with Bai Qi's battle plan. Besides, my two thousand female soldiers are also very strong and can help a lot."
Sun Shangxiang was very confident. Seeing that the two of them were also going, she said, "Do you want to go together? With you there, our strength will definitely increase."
"Alright, then we'll fight together, but we still have to obey Bai Qi's deployment. We can't disrupt his overall plan," Diao Chan said.
"Okay."
Just as they were about to leave, they saw Zhen Mi, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Nie Xiaoqian, and others.
"We can't be absent for such an important matter."
"We finally have so many enemies, we have to kill some."
"It's been a long time since I've been on the battlefield, I'll get rusty if I don't move."
"Then let's go together."
Diao Chan, with the other women, also embarked on the path to battle. They found Bai Qi and explained their situation.
Bai Qi did not refuse, because they were not mere decorations; each of them was very powerful.
"Ladies, this battle is extraordinary. I hope you will follow orders," Bai Qi said.
"Of course. In the army, we are soldiers. Marshal Bai Qi doesn't need to worry about our identities," Diao Chan said.
"Good." Bai Qi would indeed not treat them any differently because of their identities. This was Bai Qi; on the battlefield, he treated everyone equally.
Basically all the generals of the territory were mobilized. Finally, even Nangong Puye, Wang Chudong, Yu Youwei, and Xuanyuan Qingfeng arrived on their mounts.
"We also want to help and are willing to follow Marshal Bai Qi's command," Nangong Puye, Wang Chudong, Yu Youwei, and Xuanyuan Qingfeng said to Bai Qi.
"Good. With the help of all of you, my confidence in facing the enemy this time has increased even more," Bai Qi said.
This was not flattery, but a fact.
Because they, as the ladies of the territory, were willing to fight alongside the soldiers, it had a great impact on morale.
Bai Qi intentionally spread this news throughout the entire army, and it indeed achieved great results.
