Kaliemlo assembled five thousand soldiers and set out on the road.

Five thousand soldiers may not sound like much? Actually, it’s quite a lot, more than enough!

Because the maximum force a Minor Lord can theoretically mobilize is only four thousand.

Theoretically, because a Minor Lord can’t just rely on Combat Soldiers without building any Production Soldiers, it’s impossible to develop territory like that.

This is not the key point.

The most crucial point is.

The Great Lord’s troops and the Minor Lord’s troops are entirely different matters.

Troops from small territories are generally level 10 Bronze Elites, even some old, deeply-rooted, relatively powerful Minor Lords, at most, train level 11 or 12 troops, but they are not strong anywhere close.

The troops from Sand Spring City are different.

The soldiers brought out by Kaliemlo are all level 13 or 14, generally reaching the level of Silver Elites, with a small portion of elite troops, even advancing to level 15 Golden Elite strength.

Personally led by himself again.

In a real fight, these five thousand Sand Spring City troops could take on ten thousand from a Minor Lord!

No matter how strong the human race may be, how powerful can they be? They’ve occupied four towns for just over ten days!

In such a short time.

There’s no way to accumulate resources.

Without enough resources, it’s impossible to produce soldiers or strengthen the troops; the four towns probably aren’t strong enough to withstand the five thousand elite soldiers led by himself.

Moreover.

Kaliemlo thinks he might not even need to take action.

After returning to Sand Spring City from the Ancient Prison, he immediately sent envoys to successively order the Minor Lords to send troops. If he guessed correctly, the Minor Lords’ troops are already about to reach Eagle’s Nest Town.

This is an army over twenty thousand strong!

This force alone is enough to crush the four towns!

Let them charge into battle. It’s also the right time to suppress these Minor Lords; leading five thousand elite troops himself is more about supervising than participating, not wasting even a single soldier.

As Kaliemlo was thinking this.

Suddenly, a Centaur raced up with extreme speed, rushing up to his face, "Lord, news from Eagle’s Nest Town..."

Kaliemlo immediately asked, "Have the other troops completed their assembly? Notify Eagle’s Nest Town that Sand Spring City’s troops can arrive tonight, and we will launch the attack tomorrow."

"No! It’s not that! It’s urgent intelligence!"

The Centaur wore an expression more miserable than crying, "Eagle’s Nest Town was attacked by the humans last night, the town has been destroyed, the four thousand combat soldiers of Eagle’s Nest Town, eighteen Minor Lords, and five envoys from Sand Spring City have all been... defeated!"

Kaliemlo was petrified for three seconds.

His expression twisted visibly, his hair standing on end, resembling a furious lion, roaring in anger: "What did you say? That’s impossible! This is nonsense! How could the humans know we’re meeting at Eagle’s Nest Town? How could the humans have the strength to defeat Eagle’s Nest Town?"

Too unreasonable!

This is absolutely impossible!

The Centaur trembled: "Lord, I’m afraid... I’m afraid this is true!"

The over twenty high-level Centaurs who followed Kaliemlo on the expedition all showed shocked expressions that the humans could swiftly attack Eagle’s Nest Town in such a short time and even achieve a complete annihilation.

What kind of formidable mobility and attack power is this?

A master from Sand Spring City stepped forward and said solemnly, "Lord, if this is true, it only means we severely underestimated the humans’ strength, and this battle must be carefully reconsidered!"

Another loyalist of Kaliemlo also stepped forward to persuade, "Eighteen Minor Lords were all killed, the Minor Lords’ troop deployment plan will definitely be delayed, I think we should temporarily abandon this attack plan."

"Yes, let’s withdraw to Sand Spring City first, wait for the Minor Lords’ troops to regroup, and then strategize against the humans."

"We can’t take any risks lightly!"

Everyone’s advice.

Made Kaliemlo’s expression increasingly gloomy.

"No!" He was silent for more than ten seconds but didn’t accept the advice, "I have a feeling the humans are by no means simple, if we delay for ten days by retreating, they might become even more troublesome!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone looked around at each other.

This never-before-seen foreign race indeed exudes weirdness everywhere!

They don’t appear to be a force supported by another Great Lord, but they can erupt successively in a short time without any background.

Ten days mean nothing to other Minor Lords.

But for this mysterious human race, it might let them increase their strength significantly based on the current foundation, and by then, trying to eliminate them would require a greater price.

"No need to wait for other Minor Lords; return to the city and regroup the five thousand elite!" Kaliemlo said solemnly, "I refuse to believe that Sand Spring City’s ten thousand troops can’t wipe out a newly arrived race!"

The Lord’s decision was made.

Others did not continue to advise.

This matter indeed requires a once-and-for-all solution!

Warlord Kaliemlo personally leads a ten thousand elite force from Sand Spring City!

Let alone four ordinary Minor territories.

Even sweeping over a dozen Minor Lords is more than enough!

Even though there may be some losses in the process, with the deep foundation accumulated by Sand Spring City over the years, it’s far from threatening a Great Lord’s position; the urgent task is to eradicate that damned human race at the fastest speed before larger losses occur!

...

Jiang City.

Cyan Dragon Community.

Hang Yu has already returned.

The great victory at Eagle’s Nest Town has indeed been a morale booster.

But Hang Yu is instead more calm and composed.

This battle can prevent thousands of Minor Lords’ armies from besieging the humans’ four towns.

But if he guessed correctly, Kaliemlo would not abandon this attack.

If fast enough.

At most two to three days!

Kaliemlo’s army will arrive!

Five hundred people raided Eagle’s Nest Town, eliminating three to four thousand small soldiers, killing dozens of high-level Intelligent Species; in the eyes of most people, especially netizens unaware of the Desert Province’s situation, this is indeed a remarkable feat.

Hang Yu is very clear-headed, though.

He knows this doesn’t count for much.

The humans’ four towns still have a great disparity compared to Sand Spring City!

If Kaliemlo had enough decisiveness to dispatch nearly twenty thousand elite soldiers from Sand Spring City, Hang Yu wouldn’t stand a chance at all.

Of course.

Kaliemlo probably doesn’t have such audacity.

If all Combat Soldiers were dispatched, wouldn’t Sand Spring City be empty?

If a certain ambitious wolf suddenly attacked, Sand Spring City might be lost, and Kaliemlo probably wouldn’t dare to take such a risk.

Not to mention deploying all twenty thousand elites.

Even sending half makes it difficult for the four towns’ human strength to resist. This is bound to be a very brutal battle, so they must make more preparations in the short few days they have.

Quickly purchasing potions, scrolls, and other strategic materials is a must.

Fortunately, the country highly supports Azure Dragon.

The Celestial Nets in various places are all very considerate toward Azure Dragon members.

Good skill scrolls, magic potions, potions, equipment, and even Skill Stones are prioritized for Azure Dragon with discounts, so everyone’s strength is improving quite quickly.

Su Yunbing is also running around for Hang Yu.

She found Hang Yu and said, "I’ve had Tigule assess the [Celestial Net Defender Magic-guided Cannon] and the [Super Little White Flame Gun]."

These two are Cyan Dragon’s most essential magic-guided equipment at the moment.

The towns’ total magic-guided cannons are close to a hundred.

All were imported from Celestial Net at high prices.

These magic-guided devices should not be underestimated; they can significantly enhance the city’s Defense. Hang Yu has already arranged for Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming, and other regional members to continue procuring from local Celestial Nets.

Aiming for dozens or even a hundred more!

Sufficient to greatly increase the towns’ Defense!

Hang Yu asked, "What did Tigule say?"

Su Yunbing replied, "Tigule thinks these two types of magic-guided weapons are somewhat rough; if given enough materials and time, he could make even more excellent, superior, even Blue Quality magic-guided cannons!"

"Blue Quality magic-guided devices naturally have impressive power, but creating them consumes materials that exceed those needed to craft a Blue-quality piece of equipment several times over," Hang Yu shook his head, "We don’t have enough time!"

Su Yunbing frowned, "Then what should we do?"

Hang Yu thought for a moment and said, "There isn’t enough time to produce new magic-guided weapons, but upgrading the existing ones should be within Tigule’s near-Master Level magic-guided study capabilities."

The towns’ Celestial Net Defender and Bai’s Super Flame Gun both are Green Quality at level 10.

The level will also limit the power.

Hang Yu decided to upgrade the equipment.

Increasing the weapons to level 14-15 can boost power by 50-100%!

This is much easier than customizing new equipment, having Tigule work hard overtime should be enough to complete half the upgrade in two to three days.

Additionally.

Ten Magic-guided Mechas were seized.

These can also be brought into the Spirit Realm for use.

Hang Yu is now doing everything possible to enhance the strength of the humans’ four towns in preparation to withstand the imminent formidable enemy!
