"Send out scouts to get a clear picture of the surroundings."
"Ye Hu, Ye Lang, you two take two Thousand-man Squads and clear out all the goblins in this area."
After a crushing victory, Ye Zhan disdained the goblins' combat effectiveness but was extremely cautious. He did not launch a full-scale attack immediately, but instead chose to build a defensive camp on the spot.
Su Xingyu did not accompany them on this battle, leaving the entire matter to Ye Zhan.
As the strongest commander in the Night Tribe besides Su Xingyu, Ye Zhan's strength was beyond doubt; leading tens of thousands of troops was a simple task for him.
The Teleportation Gate had already closed. To leave now, one could only pray to the Gods.
However, Ye Zhan would not pray to the Gods to leave until the enemies here were eliminated, because that would signify failure.
The Monarch was benevolent and allowed for failure, but as a Believer, Ye Zhan absolutely refused to fail himself.
While Ye Zhan was constructing the camp, two Centurions encountered enemies outside.
"Ah Hu, are those goblins too? They look a bit different from the ones we met earlier." Looking at the goblins in the distance, Ye Lang noticed their significantly larger size and darker skin color, feeling puzzled.
"You're asking me? If you don't know, how could I possibly know?" Ye Hu rolled his eyes, then glanced at his younger brother as if to say, "Are you confused, asking me questions?"
Ye Lang and Ye Hu were brothers, each leading a Cavalry Thousand-man Squad, and both were capable subordinates of Ye Zhan.
The elder brother, Ye Hu, was stout, standing nearly two meters tall, and was one of the few Fourth Order Transcendent Warriors in the Night Tribe. The younger brother, Ye Lang, was leaner and a Third-Order Transcendent Warrior.
The two brothers had very different personalities; the elder was more simple and straightforward, while the younger was more quick-witted. Therefore, even though they were both Centurions and Ye Hu was stronger, Ye Lang was usually the one who made the decisions.
"They don't seem to be many in number. How about we charge over and try them out? General's orders were to clear them all out anyway." Ye Hu was very fond of fighting. Besides eating and sleeping, he spent most of his time cultivating and fighting. Seeing enemies now, he was getting restless and eager to move.
"That works too. You go test the waters, and I'll provide support from the outside." Ye Lang thought for a moment and agreed to Ye Hu's suggestion. He had observed that there were only about five thousand of them, and their equipment and weapons were extremely backward. Even with their larger size, they couldn't pose a threat to them.
Besides, they were Cavalry; if they couldn't win, they could always retreat.
As long as they didn't charge too deep, it was almost impossible to get trapped.
However, before charging, Ye Lang still cautioned, "Hold yourself back a bit, don't charge too deep."
"Okay."
Ye Hu was immediately displeased, but under his brother's stern gaze, he nodded, "Got it, I'll just ride around the outside."
With that, he spurred his horse and charged out, shouting, "Brothers, charge with me and kill all these green-skinned monsters!"
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
Influenced by Ye Zhan, most of the warriors under him also liked to lead the charge, breaking through enemy lines with personal bravery.
The goblins on the other side had also discovered the two cavalry units long ago. However, unlike the previous goblins, they did not charge directly but slowly gathered and formed a defensive formation.
"Gaa!!!"
Seeing the cavalry charge towards them, the goblins standing at the front lines let out terrified roars.
The distance between them was not far; at least for cavalry, as long as they were within sight, it wasn't considered far.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were about to collide.
However, before they collided, Ye Hu and the warriors behind him grabbed the crossbows hanging from their horses and slightly raised their right hands.
"Fire!"
Following Ye Hu's command.
Swish, swish, swish!
Arrows were shot out. Although not numerous, their momentum was somewhat intimidating.
The goblins, having never seen such a weapon, were completely unprepared. By the time the arrows approached, it was impossible to dodge.
Goblins in the front fell in rows like wheat stalks. The faces of the goblin warriors behind were smeared with their comrades' blood, and they screamed in terror, not understanding what had happened.
At the same time, the cavalry put away their crossbows, drew their long sabers, and charged into the goblin horde.
The sturdy horses directly knocked aside the goblins blocking their path, and then their hooves trampled them to death.
Swish!
Using the momentum of their charge, the warriors of the Night Tribe swung their long sabers, instantly killing the enemies in front of them.
These goblins were much taller and sturdier than the previous batch, but it was useless. To the warriors of the Night Tribe, there was no difference between fighting a '1' or a '2'; they were all killed with a single strike.
The original plan of the two brothers was to engage in a skirmish, test their strength, and then discuss the extermination plan.
However, when the actual battle began, Ye Hu completely forgot his brother's instructions and led his Personal Guards, charging forward.
Seeing their general's bravery, the warriors behind naturally did not want to be outdone and followed closely.
"Damn it, I knew this would happen." Ye Lang's face darkened immediately. He spurred his horse and charged out, shouting, "Charge with me and kill all these green-skinned monsters!"
The warriors behind roared to the sky and then followed on horseback. Seeing their brothers having so much fun fighting, they could no longer hold back.
If their general hadn't stopped them, they would have charged out long ago.
"Hahaha! Die for me!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Long sabers swung down, leaving enemies either dead or wounded.
The warriors of the Night Tribe became more and more excited, continuously reaping the lives of the goblins.
They had never fought such an easy battle.
A considerable portion of these two cavalry units were originally Barbarian Warriors.
Since being incorporated into the Night Tribe, they had been holding back a lot of frustration. Especially during subsequent training, they often fell slightly short of the Night Tribe's warriors due to issues with organization and coordination, which made them even more uncomfortable.
Now that they had encountered goblins, they could finally vent their anger.
This batch of goblins numbered nearly five thousand, but it was useless.
In many cases, cavalry had a significant advantage over infantry, often able to deal with several times their number.
Moreover, the goblins before them were too weak. They fought without any formation, and calling them soldiers was an exaggeration.
Ye Hu led the cavalry, charging forward, killing countless goblins, his body already stained green with blood.
"Roar!!!"
A Giant Goblin, three meters tall and wielding a Spiked Club, roared and charged towards Ye Hu.
The Giant Goblin strode forward, completely disregarding the companions in front of it. By the time it reached Ye Hu, it had already killed at least ten of its own kind.
"Good, you came."
With such a large size, it was impossible to hide even on a chaotic battlefield. Ye Hu had noticed it long ago, but he had intended to break through the goblin lines first before engaging it directly.
However, since the opponent had come to him, Ye Hu naturally wouldn't be polite.
Ye Hu spurred his horse forward, his Vitality surging, and a blood-red Battle Qi coated his long saber with a thin layer of crimson.
The Giant Goblin raised its Spiked Club and swung it down ferociously, intending to crush Ye Hu and his mount together. Unexpectedly, Ye Hu suddenly accelerated and, before it could strike, swung his saber upwards.
Clang!!!
The terrifying Strength almost made the goblin drop its Spiked Club. Its body lurched backward, and it retreated several steps.
Ye Hu pressed his advantage, leaping into the air, and brought his two-handed saber down with a powerful chop.
"Die for me!"
The goblin quickly raised its Spiked Club to block the attack. With a "swish," the blood-red long saber sliced through the Spiked Club, breaking it.
Clatter!
The long saber cut downwards, splitting the Giant Goblin in half.
