In the spirit of not letting anything go to waste, Qin Feng immediately purchased all of the imperial soldiers and Extraordinary imperial soldiers under Lunes’s command.

Furthermore, whether it was the cities in the Northern Territory he had conquered along the way or the border cities in the Central Zone, as soon as their Void Soldier Source was replenished, he would unhesitatingly use the massive amount of Gold Coins in his reserves to perform Void Recruitment and expand his Divine Chosen Legion.

With the powerful support of numerous high-level imperial cities, coupled with the accelerated group leveling effect from his "Survival of the Fittest" Talent, the number of Extraordinary Soldiers in Qin Feng’s Divine Chosen Legion was skyrocketing.

Although he still couldn’t contend with millennia-old old-timers like Flame Emperor Galukasa or the Minotaur Kingdom, his legion’s strength was already at a completely crushing level compared to the other Lord Players who were still up-and-comers.

It was like a fully armed Astartes stumbling into the territory of Primitive Cave People.

For example, the standard strategy for other Lords was often to have their Zero-star Mortal Legions charge first to drain as much of the enemy Transcendent’s Magic Power and Physical Strength as possible.

As for their Extraordinary Soldiers and Extraordinary Heroes, they would all hide within the main force, looking for opportunities to instantly kill the enemy’s Extraordinary units while also being wary of getting killed themselves.

Along the way, they would casually take out a few hundred defenseless, scattered Mortal Soldiers.

Once all of one side’s Extraordinary units were wiped out, the remaining Zero-star Mortal troops became lambs to the slaughter.

They could then begin the slaughter out in the open. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

But Qin Feng’s approach was completely different. He’d just hit F1+F3, ordering his dense ranks of Extraordinary Soldiers to charge all at once.

At that point, these Extraordinary Soldiers didn’t need to worry about positioning or who was beside them. They were surrounded by comrades of the same tier, providing cover. All they had to do was charge straight ahead and smash through the enemy’s defensive line.

The scene was like a single tank with a hundred infantrymen trying to fight a hundred tanks.

The former group looked utterly doomed from the start.

After occupying the Gulad Empire Capital, Qin Feng’s original plan was to wait for Flame Emperor Galukasa to return, then find an opportunity through negotiation to bring this ridiculously powerful Destiny Hero under his command.

But now, Flame Emperor Galukasa was acting with a madness akin to a "Night Wolfman," as if determined to fight the entire world by himself.

Thus, Qin Feng had to adjust his strategy on the fly, changing his plan from negotiation to "supporting the Ventecenia Kingdom" in order to directly defeat Flame Emperor Galukasa and his main imperial legion, which was currently in battle.

Fortunately, the nobles of the empire’s Southern Territory had already keenly sensed that something was wrong with Flame Emperor Galukasa—in his all-out effort to counter Ventecenia’s Magic Guide Army, he was completely ignoring the safety of his own capital and the entire nation.

Coupled with the fact that within Qin Feng’s Holy Empire Faction, figures like Military God Baludopa and other members of the previous generation’s Five Dragon Generals were providing their full support, and with Princess Amilia on his side, the Duke of the Southern Territory weighed his options and decisively announced his surrender.

Just like that, Qin Feng took control of all the cities in the empire’s Southern Territory without losing a single soldier and unlocked a brand-new exclusive Soldier Type: Ordinary Dragon Cavalry (Earth Dragon Version).

Although the overall combat power of these Ordinary Dragon Cavalry couldn’t compare to the Royal Dragon Cavalry, who could freely soar through the skies, they were practically unbeatable in close-quarters ground combat.

No melee Soldier Type could stand against them in a frontal assault.

Even the top T0 Heavy Armor Infantry and Heavy Armor Cavalry would gain no advantage against the Ordinary Dragon Cavalry, who were also clad in Heavy Armor, possessed extremely high resistances, and could add Flame Magic to their attacks; they would ultimately end in defeat.

More importantly, the Ordinary Dragon Cavalry were equipped with Secret Silver Armor, which the empire had spent a fortune to forge. This armor had a significant damage reduction effect against all types of Magic Damage.

Therefore, even if someone had the idea to counter these "tin cans riding Earth Dragons" with magic attacks that were effective against Heavy Armor units, they would ultimately find that the investment for this strategy was severely disproportionate to the return, making it almost completely unviable.

However, Qin Feng wasn’t worried about these Ordinary Dragon Cavalry at all.

Because he possessed the Lord’s Divine Technique "Fear," which was specifically designed to counter all sorts of "tin cans," as it could drastically reduce the Armor Value of Heavy Armor units’ equipment.

Without the defensive bonus from their heavy equipment’s armor, no matter how strong the Ordinary Dragon Cavalry’s individual physiques were, it would be impossible for them to withstand continuous attacks from multiple enemies in a Lord World filled with the "Mutual Kill Rule."

More importantly, the weight of the heavy equipment worn by the Ordinary Dragon Cavalry wasn’t reduced in the slightest. This directly turned them into "idiot training dummies" that couldn’t use positioning to flexibly dodge a large number of attacks, forced to passively absorb the enemy’s full damage.

Beyond that, Qin Feng had two other ways to deal with this type of Heavy Armor Soldier, which had maxed-out Magic Resistance and Physical Resistance.

The first was Diablo’s "Plague Poison" Talent, which could infinitely stack the Poisoned effect.

The second was the Desert Demon Wolves’ "Tearing" and "Bleeding Extension" skills, which could infinitely stack Bleeding.

As long as they hit the gaps in the Ordinary Dragon Cavalry’s Heavy Armor, even if the direct damage from a single hit was minuscule, once the Poisoned and Bleeding effects stacked high enough, the Ordinary Dragon Cavalry, who had no Healing Skills, would instantly collapse and lose all combat effectiveness.

’Too bad.’

’The Duke of the Southern Territory surrendered right away.’

’I didn’t even get a chance to show off the three battle plans I’d prepared specifically for the "Canned Dragons."’
