Chapter 2254: First Battle, Grand Victory

Ye Liuyun's soldiers are also considered veterans of the Death Legion.

Therefore, just the reorganization and subsequent acclimation quickly let the soldiers adapt to each other and meet the training standards in coordination.

Only then did Ye Liuyun set the army in motion.

But instead of marching on foot, they rode the Warship forged from black gold, allowing the soldiers to become familiar with its controls.

The Inspector General sent by Ruan Haotian was locked by Ye Liuyun in a cabin each day; the room blocked Divine Sense detection, had a guard, could not move freely, and knew nothing of the outside.

They even feared that Ye Liuyun's brazen ride on the Warship was courting death, worrying that they would be buried alongside him.

Two days later, when they put away the Warship and marched on foot, those Inspector Generals discovered that although only two days had passed, they had covered the distance of four days' march.

Clearly, Ye Liuyun's Warship moved at least twice as fast as an ordinary Warship.

Ye Liuyun sent his duplicate carrying Demon Kite, Two-Headed Eagle, Mantis and other Demon Beasts along with some black‑gold Puppet Beasts to scout, while also having Magic Vine lie in wait underground to work with the duplicate in clearing the Foreign Tribe's hidden sentries.

Then he assigned three hundred soldiers to guard the hundred Inspector Generals, moving slowly behind.

He, however, led his soldiers to go ahead by one step.

The fifty‑thousand Foreign Tribe troops on the western front were resting.

They held a numerical advantage on the battlefield, and the Human Race rarely could muster a counter‑offensive of tens of thousands.

Moreover, their position posed no threat to any Human Race forces on the battlefield.

So they never expected to be hit by a massive ambush.

When Ye Liuyun launched the attack, many powerful Foreign Tribe warriors were still cultivating or asleep, and were suddenly devoured by a Magic Vine ambush.

Ye Liuyun also minimized expenditure by releasing the Sealing Demon Tablet to suppress the enemy's strong ones.

The Half‑Beast Legion surrounded the garrison, pushing inward, while Ye Liuyun, with the Death Legion, split into several squads on the outer perimeter to intercept, striving to annihilate all the Foreign Tribe.

War Chariots and Puppet Beasts barreled through the Foreign Tribe's garrison, and the Crystal Stone Cannon hammered the resting Foreign Tribe into a dizzy frenzy.

Some Foreign Tribe tried to break out, but were blasted dead on the spot by several volleys from the golden‑alloy deformable small energy cannons mounted on the Half‑Beast armor.

The Foreign Tribe's Leader was also singled out and eliminated by the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine.

The escaped Foreign Tribe strongmen who tried to break out were wiped out by the Half‑Beast Legion's formation.

Some strong ones attacked the War Chariots but could not breach their defenses, and were instead chased down and blasted by the chariots.

The roar of cannons and the Foreign Tribe's shrieks and howls filled the battlefield.

The Half‑Beast Legion kept tightening the encirclement inward.

In the fight against the Foreign Tribe, there was no need to consider prisoners; both sides fought to the death.

The detained Inspector Generals far away, hearing the sounds of battle ahead, were all extremely uneasy.

In such a large‑scale clash with the Foreign Tribe, they actually had little direct contact.

Previously, Martial Cultivators mostly engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Foreign Tribe.

Some soldiers covertly used Divine Sense to communicate: "Ye Liuyun is just acting recklessly, forcing twenty‑thousand soldiers to be buried, and refusing to apologize to our Grand Leader!"

"Indeed! What a waste of those twenty‑thousand men, enough to fight the Foreign Tribe for how long! This time they'll probably all be finished!"

"Alas! Whoever becomes God King or Grand Leader, the unlucky ones are us soldiers, merely pawns in their hands!"

Those soldiers also muttered in secret.

Some even urged their Junior Leader Han Mo to lead everyone in a chance to escape.

Han Mo shook his head: "Haven't you noticed?

This army's battle tactics are extremely powerful; their formation attacks are probably not easy to counter.

Moreover, they outnumber us three to one.

And their Warship can catch up to us.

Our chances of success are slim.

Once we can't get out, we'll be treated as deserters, giving them more reason to kill us."

Thus, the over‑hundred of them could only stay obediently as prisoners, awaiting Ye Liuyun's orders.

But after a few hours, the battlefield sounds faded, and the Death Legion soldiers guarding them finally received orders to escort the prisoners onward.

At that point on the battlefield, the Half‑Beast Legion had finished bombarding most of the Foreign Tribe, and then they even charged forward for a thrill.

Now only a few thousand surviving Foreign Tribe remain, left for the Death Legion soldiers to practice on.

The Half‑Beast Legion had already been withdrawn by the duplicate back to the Space World.

The Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine have both been reclaimed by Ye Liuyun.

Currently, under Yuan Hao's leadership, the Death Legion has taken over from the Half‑Beast Legion, continuing the encirclement inward.

Han Mo and these soldiers still thought they were being sent to their deaths.

They asked in trembling voices: "Do we also have to fight?"

A Junior Leader of the Death Legion, seeing their fearful faces, sneered: "We received orders; the battle is almost over.

You lot are also considered 'Inspector Generals', so you'll get to see the results with your own eyes."

"Huh?

Is it ending?

Who won?"

The soldiers also interjected one after another.

"Isn't that obvious?

When has the Death Legion ever lost? If we lost, you'd still have a chance to enjoy the spoils?"

Death Legion soldiers rarely speak while on duty, let alone reveal any information to them.

But their ignorance made the leader unable to hold back, so

Then he said no more, and led the group toward the battlefield.

These soldiers couldn't believe that in just half a day, their 20,000 troops could defeat 50,000 Foreign Tribe.

"Could it be that this Foreign Tribe army has relocated?"

They were still secretly guessing whether this Foreign Tribe army was no longer resting here.

But when they arrived at the battlefield and released their Divine Sense, they discovered Ye Liuyun, his clone, and Yuan Hao leading some Ninth Layer Early Stage soldiers in finishing off the remaining Foreign Tribe, obviously just practicing.

Around the perimeter were ranks of Death Legion soldiers, sealing off the area completely.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Tribe's encampment was in utter chaos, corpses strewn across the field.

This sight left those soldiers stunned and speechless.

"Did they really win?"

"Were all 50,000 Foreign Tribe wiped out?"

In this battle, Ye Liuyun and his clone also honed their blade intent, and they were in high spirits.

After the battle, he and Yuan Hao, along with the other soldiers, retreated covered in blood.

Seeing these "Supervisors" arrive, he had Yuan Hao pass them a Transmission Talisman so they could report the battle results to Ruan Haotian.

Seeing Ye Liuyun and his group approaching with killing intent, these Supervisors' hearts nearly jumped out of their chests, fearing Ye Liuyun might casually cut them down as well.

Upon learning Ye Liuyun's demand, Han Mo immediately reported the truth to Ruan Haotian according to Ye Liuyun's demand.

"You couldn't have been controlled by Ye Liuyun and signed a Master-Servant Contract with him, could you?"

Ruan Haotian, however, simply didn't believe it; instead, he suspected Han Mo was being controlled by Ye Liuyun.
