Upon hearing such shouts, every soldier inexplicably straightened their backs.
They were the Heavenly Army, the King’s Army!
As the King’s Army, they must possess the grandeur of such a force.
How could they act like bandits, burning, killing, looting, and behaving barbarically and bloodily?
They should subdue the enemy with martial prowess and win hearts with virtue.
The massive army moved forward, exterminating the Hu Jie people without encroaching on the common people’s lands, gradually gaining the locals’ approval.
After gathering an army of 200,000, King Amo Zhi of the Hu Kingdom marched towards Oliver Sheng’s forces.
The Great Wei Heavenly Army’s mission to punish the Hu Jie in Zhangye and save its people naturally reached the ears of this Hu Kingdom king.
Upon learning of this, Amo Zhi was furious and ordered the arrest of anyone spreading such rumors.
He was determined to annihilate the Great Wei army to shatter the fantasies of those lowly people.
Zhangye was his, it belonged to his Hu Kingdom.
How could he tolerate others coveting his territory?
Having ruled this land for a hundred years, he saw it as his exclusive domain. Anyone who dared to touch it, he would kill!
Zane Wang continuously spread the news and, upon discovering the Hu Jie army’s movements, quickly returned to report.
“Report, my lord, the Hu Jie army is advancing towards us,” Zane Wang reported as he rode back swiftly.
“How many troops do they have?” Oliver Sheng inquired.
“Reporting, my lord, they have 50,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry,” Zane Wang quickly replied.
This Hu Jie tribe from the highlands was not an all-cavalry force.
Not everyone was like Oliver Sheng, who had seized countless warhorses from the Barbarians and the Huns, making his entire army cavalry.
Nor did everyone have as much silver as Oliver Sheng, who was willing to spend it on maintaining warhorses.
“With 50,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry, we have the advantage. The entire army will march at full speed to exterminate the Hu Jie forces,” Oliver Sheng immediately ordered.
With such military strength, they could simply crush the enemy.
“Full speed ahead!”
“Full speed ahead!!”
Calvin Yang, Qin Lin, Wesley Hu, Harrison Zhou, and other generals relayed Oliver Sheng’s orders.
The army began to advance at full speed, with Zane Wang leading scouts five miles ahead to conduct reconnaissance.
Even though the Hu Jie army’s strength was not worth mentioning, Oliver Sheng’s forces still remained cautious. They could disdain the enemy but never be blindly arrogant.
This was the mindset Oliver Sheng instilled in them.
The two armies met on an open plain.
Amo Zhi looked at the army ahead with contempt in his eyes. The leader was merely an early-stage Great Grandmaster.
He couldn’t fathom how Aguda had lost to an early-stage Great Grandmaster.
Indeed, the aura Oliver Sheng exuded was that of an early-stage Great Grandmaster.
Pointing at Oliver Sheng, Amo Zhi laughed heartily with his generals, “Look, the enemy is just an early-stage Great Grandmaster, and he dares to challenge my Hu Kingdom.”
“Just an early-stage Great Grandmaster. I could kill him with a single slap. This Wei army is here to deliver warhorses to us!”
“Long live the King!”
“The King is right. Just an early-stage Great Grandmaster and a couple of Grandmasters. They only have more cavalry.”
“King, give the order. I can’t wait to kill them.”
The Hu Jie generals were all brimming with confidence, as if they were on a high.
To them, the Great Wei army was just a collection of military achievements waiting to be claimed.
They were already thinking about how to divide up the warhorses.
Oliver Sheng looked at the army ahead, feeling that their strength was far inferior to the Barbarians and the Huns.
The only threats were the Great Grandmaster and a few Grandmaster generals.
As the two armies faced off, the murderous aura condensed, turning the clouds in the sky dark red.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense, with warhorses neighing, ready to charge at any moment.
“Calvin Yang, you are to attack from the left.”
“Qin Lin, you are to attack from the right.”
“Wesley Hu, Harrison Zhou, Felix Wu, Xiao Batian, follow the heavy cavalry and crush them head-on!”
Oliver Sheng quickly issued orders. His true elite forces were his direct subordinates.
Although they lacked Grandmaster-level combat power, his direct subordinates were mostly Martial Artists and Martial Masters, with Postnatal Realm experts surpassing those in Calvin Yang’s and Qin Lin’s units.
“Army, attack!!”
With Oliver Sheng’s command, Chi Tiansheng led the heavy cavalry, “Heavy cavalry, charge, kill with me!!”
“Kill!!”
“Wind!”
“Wind!”
“Great wind!!”
The 150,000-strong army shouted in unison, their momentum shaking the heavens and earth.
In their shouts, the army began to charge, their momentum terrifying many Hu Jie soldiers.
“What are they shouting?” The Hu Jie soldiers didn’t understand what the Wei army was shouting.
They only felt that the Wei army’s morale was high and very intimidating.
“Warriors, follow me and charge, crush them,” Amo Zhi ordered as he led his army in a charge, seeing the Wei army take the initiative.
As long as he killed the enemy generals, the Wei army would be leaderless and easily defeated.
Oliver Sheng did not charge. He took out his Sun-Chasing Bow, drew five ordinary arrows, and shot them instantly, sending five golden rays through the sky.
Amo Zhi and his generals, leading the charge, saw five golden rays piercing through the void, shooting towards them.
Before they could dodge or defend, the golden rays pierced through the chests of Amo Zhi and his four Grandmaster generals.
The five fell from their horses, their bodies trampled into pieces by the charging hooves.
The Hu Jie soldiers hadn’t even reacted when their generals and king were killed by Oliver Sheng’s arrows.
Amo Zhi died with his eyes wide open. Wasn’t the enemy supposed to be an early-stage Great Grandmaster?
How could he be killed by a single arrow? He was a Great Grandmaster at Great Perfection!
King Yan Aguda: Ah, right, right.
“Not good, the king and generals are dead.” The innate generals of the Hu Jie army were terrified.
But now, with the army charging, they couldn’t stop it, so they had to press on.
With the high-end combat power of the Hu Jie army dead, Chi Tiansheng, whose strength was comparable to an early-stage Grandmaster, led the heavy cavalry into the enemy ranks.
The terrifying heavy cavalry, like a torrent of steel, shattered the Hu Jie cavalry.
Chi Tiansheng smashed a Hu Jie Innate Great Perfection general with a single strike.
The nearly all Martial Master heavy cavalry cut down the Hu Jie cavalry like killing machines, leaving blood and corpses in their wake.
Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, and others led their troops, continuously slashing the Hu Jie cavalry.
The Hu Jie cavalry formation, like paper, was easily pierced by the heavy cavalry.
Calvin Yang and Qin Lin led their units from the sides, encircling and slaughtering the Hu Jie army.
This was a battle whose outcome was decided from the start.
“Demons, they are demons!!”
The Hu Jie soldiers were terrified by the ferocity of the heavy cavalry.
Chi Tiansheng’s heavy cavalry, like a killing machine, mercilessly harvested the lives of the Hu Jie soldiers.
Oliver Sheng watched his army slaughter the Hu Jie soldiers, his Kill Points rapidly increasing.
His 150,000-strong ferocious army quickly annihilated the 200,000 Hu Jie soldiers, leaving no survivors.
It was a crushing victory, with no suspense, achieved with overwhelming force.
If they struggled against such an army, they wouldn’t deserve the resources spent on them.
After slaughtering the Hu Jie army, his soldiers raised their weapons and shouted.
“Victory!”
“Victory!!”
At this moment, the army’s morale peaked, their momentum dispersing the dark clouds over the battlefield.
The best way to boost an army’s confidence and morale is through victories.
With each victory, they built an unshakable belief in their invincibility.
After annihilating the 300,000-strong Hu Jie army, Oliver Sheng’s Kill Points increased to 360,000. Combined with the previous 20,000, his total reached 387,625 points.
“Calvin Yang, take the army and quickly occupy Shangdang City, exterminating the remaining Hu Jie people,” Oliver Sheng ordered.
“Yes!!”
Calvin Yang obeyed and led his troops to Shangdang City.
It was the Hu Jie’s royal city and needed to be captured quickly to prevent their wealth from falling into others’ hands.
“Everyone else, quickly clean the battlefield and bury the bodies,” Oliver Sheng commanded.
From now on, Zhangye would be his territory. If the bodies weren’t dealt with, a plague could be a headache.
“Zane Wang, quickly spread the news of our victory throughout Zhangye to intimidate the entire region,” Oliver Sheng instructed Zane Wang.
“Alright, I’ll get it done.”
Zane Wang led his scouts to spread the news across Zhangye.
