"Another battle, then? Alright, I will make the arrangements!"
A subtle hesitation flashed across Oluk’s face. However, under Jia Yan’s icy stare, he shivered, then helplessly ran off to begin preparations for the war.
As the leader of a formerly ’benevolent’ team, he found it hard to watch these beings continue to die and be injured. He knew that in previous battles, nearly half of the old veterans from Oluk’s team had sustained casualties. He didn’t know how the Lokav Team and Solin Team would fare if the fighting continued, but he knew that the warriors of Oluk’s team would suffer serious casualties.
But Lord Assassin’s orders could not be refused!
The ’Earth Army’ moved out once more!
Under the gaze of the Earth Army’s old, frail, sick, and disabled, they launched a nocturnal assault on the surrounding forces!
Even the strongest team nearby, the Solin Team, was easily shattered by the Earth Army. The other forces would not stand a chance against them!
Although there were casualties, Big Mosquito had no regard for them now! He had never even so much as glanced at the casualties!
In his eyes, even though the beings fighting for him were sentient beings, Jia Yan had an extremely low level of empathy for them. Especially since these beings had such diverse appearances, so he treated these creatures as animals!
At least he didn’t have the sympathies to feel sorry for these monsters.
Fighting throughout the night resulted in casualties again.
"What? The Earth Army? What the hell are they? Aren’t they with Solin Team? How can it be? They actually allied with Oluk and Lokav teams."
"Run, there’s no way to defeat them!"
"We can’t escape, there’s a powerful presence lurking in the darkness, so powerful that even its shadow can’t be seen! Surrender, we’ve got to surrender!"
One by one, the beings were captured or surrendered in the midst of the night’s battle.
Jia Yan soared across the sky, his darkness, and his Brainwave Power, made him seem like a true assassin. Each attack was so precise. With his help, the Earth Army sustained the minimum casualties today, essentially with no losses!
A war chariot, cornered and still resistant, was hiding behind a sand dune, stealthily preparing to fire.
However, just as the chariot was about to launch an attack on an upcoming Earth Army war chariot, a huge figure in the sky rapidly descended towards this spot, moving at a speed unachievable by ordinary beings!
The chariot exploded, unable to launch the attack it was preparing.
The Earth Army quickly obliterated two nearby small teams with ferocious momentum.
Now composed of soldiers from three teams, the strength of the Earth Army was not to be underestimated. If we account for the special heavy weaponry they held, even Jia Yan saw them posing a slight threat.
Such strength spared him from unleashing his full power in the battle. He simply stood by and intervened when the Earth Army teams were in danger. Not only did it keep his strength more concealed, but it also slightly gained the Earth Army soldiers’ trust and recognition.
After all, a Strong One should ensure the minimal casualty among his subordinates during a battle. Only a leader like Jia Yan, who could provide such protection, would gain the soldiers’ admiration!
What Jia Yan wanted was simple: he didn’t want those team warriors to feel disillusioned.
In previous battles, because Jia Yan needed to gather supplies, most of the spoils of war were distributed sparsely. Combined with the heavy casualties suffered, many members began to feel afraid of fighting. They didn’t get anything, so of course they wouldn’t want to fight!
But Jia Yan’s actions this time pleasantly surprised the members. As a figure rumored in the team to be capable of defeating ’Long Wu’, Lord Assassin had taken extra care of his fellow chariot members in this battle. This resulted in minimizing casualties. How could this not make the members feel thrilled!
Moreover, after this battle, unlike previous ones, Jia Yan didn’t hoard all the spoils of war.
He did so previously because Oluk told him that those goods could be exchanged for ’nutrient solution’. So he was eager to gather goods fast and exchange them with some teams or forces engaged in exchange activities. That’s why he insisted on gathering all the supplies.
But now that his energy had been replenished, he was no fool. He knew that if he continued to do so, he definitely wouldn’t be able to turn this team, which he had barely integrated by force, into a compliant team. So he loosened his control!
"Oluk, distribute all these supplies. Reward them based on merit; just make sure to be fair."
On their way back, Jia Yan sent out a faint brainwave voice, and then he led the way back to the Yellow Continent all by himself!
"This?! Thank you, Lord!"
When Oluk heard this, his worried expression turned joyous. He hastily thanked Jia Yan without caring whether Big Mosquito could hear him.
