"Kill!"
With a single strike, Ye Hu severed the head of a Giant Goblin. Covered in blood, he let out a hoarse roar, like a tiger in the mountain forest, flaunting his battle record to other creatures.
The warriors beside him grew even more excited, as if they had received a buff, becoming incredibly ferocious.
This group of goblins was stronger than the previous one; there were dozens of Giant Goblins alone, yet it was of no use.
Perhaps their strength surpassed ordinary soldiers, but their numbers were too few. Within Ye Hu's Thousand-man Squad alone, there were several hundred Second Tier Transcendent Warriors.
On the battlefield, if they fought one-on-one, they were slightly inferior to the Giant Goblins, but why would they fight one-on-one?
Several warriors would team up to deal with the Giant Goblins, which relied solely on brute force, and it was a simple task. They could usually kill one in less than ten rounds.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ye Hu's Thousand-man Squad alone was enough to defeat these five thousand goblins.
Not to mention Ye Lang's addition.
With Ye Lang's Thousand-man Squad joining the fray, the Scales of victory had irreversibly tipped in favor of the Night Tribe.
The goblins, whose morale was already low, let out a howl and scattered in all directions.
On the open plain, with the enemy being cavalry, fleeing was the most foolish action.
The goblins soon learned what it meant to "be unable to defeat and unable to escape." The warriors of the Night Tribe, like the scythes of death, reaped the goblins' lives.
The entire grassland echoed with the goblins' screams.
Su Xingyu had no interest in subjugating these green-skinned monsters.
His Divine Position did not stipulate any specific races; he could subjugate Semi-Metal Giants, so he could naturally subjugate these goblins.
However, Su Xingyu truly had no good feelings towards goblins. These green-skinned monsters, apart from their large numbers and rapid reproduction, had no other merits.
Moreover, these creatures completely lacked any understanding of Civilization and Order.
The Night Tribe's rapid expansion was already somewhat unstable; if goblins were added, one could imagine how chaotic it would become.
Su Xingyu chose to subjugate the Semi-Metal Giants mainly because he valued their combat power, and their personalities were relatively peaceful. Their scarcity meant that even if they joined the Night Tribe, they wouldn't cause any significant impact.
As for the goblins, what was the point of subjugating them?
Was it because they ate a lot, or because their combat power was poor?
Even as a Vassal Army, goblins were absolutely unqualified.
Therefore, in this battle, all the warriors of the Night Tribe could fight to their heart's content.
In a short while, as far as the eye could see, no goblins were left standing.
"Awesome!!!"
Ye Hu was completely drenched in blood, looking like a savage, but he didn't care at all, roaring loudly.
"Still roaring? Wait until I get back, I'll definitely report you to the General and have you punished for disobeying orders and acting without authorization," Ye Lang said, rushing over after the fight and shouting angrily.
"Heh heh, plans can't keep up with changes. The Clan Leader said we should seize fleeting opportunities. It was such a good chance back then, how could I let it go? I had to break through their lines in one go," Ye Hu scratched his head, uttering the few sentences he remembered from his mind to defend himself.
"Don't use the Clan Leader's words to pressure me. The Clan Leader also said that military orders are like mountains. Why didn't you listen to them?" Ye Lang retorted impatiently.
Ye Hu was immediately speechless and quickly begged for mercy, "Ah Lang, I know I was wrong. Please spare me. I promise I'll obey your orders next time."
"Don't let it happen again," Ye Lang said helplessly.
"Definitely, definitely," Ye Hu nodded repeatedly.
Ye Lang glanced at his elder brother and knew he hadn't taken it to heart at all, but there was nothing he could do, especially since he had won.
After reorganizing their troops, the two dispatched scouts again to search the surroundings for goblins, showing no intention of stopping.
The number of goblins in this land was enormous. Just around the teleportation point, there were more than ten tribes, some large with several thousand individuals, and some small with a few hundred.
Goblins subsisted on the fruit of the Blood Red Vine. Wherever there was a Blood Red Vine, there were goblins.
Night.
Inside the nascent camp, Ye Zhan was in the main tent reviewing the information that had been compiled.
"The numbers of these green-skinned monsters are astonishing. If not for their poor organization and lack of decent weapons, they might have actually caused us some trouble," Ye Zhan said, putting down the document with a hint of surprise.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there should only be goblins as the sole species here. Without enemy interference, it's reasonable for their numbers to be high."
His Adjutant beside him chuckled, "Besides, more numbers are exactly what you wanted, aren't they?"
Their purpose for coming here was Military Training.
If the enemy was too strong, the losses would be too great, which was not conducive to training soldiers.
If the enemy was too weak, it would have little effect and would also be unsuitable for training.
The current situation was just right. Although the individual strength of the goblins was weak, they made up for it with their sheer numbers, which could still put pressure on the new recruits.
Moreover, Ye Zhan had brought an Elite group of Veterans. If any unexpected situation arose, they could completely handle it, and there was no fear of significant losses.
"That's true."
Ye Zhan smiled and said, "According to Feng Da's reconnaissance, most of the goblins are gathered in the depths of the plains, numbering at least a hundred thousand. As for the tribes on the outskirts, there are even more. A rough estimate suggests there are at least four hundred thousand goblins here. We only have thirty thousand, so the troop disparity is quite significant!"
Goblins had extremely strong Reproduction Ability and short growth cycles; it only took about two years from birth to adulthood.
Therefore, numbers had always been their racial advantage, and crushing opponents with a Human Wave Tactic was their most common method.
In this Plane Fragment, which was almost completely isolated, this racial advantage was amplified to its extreme.
"Each warrior fighting ten should be about right. It doesn't seem like a lot, does it?" The Adjutant calculated with his fingers and chuckled.
Their strong Reproduction Ability and short growth cycles allowed goblins to quickly form combat power, but it also resulted in their Order being almost nonexistent.
Furthermore, their weak individual combat power made them prone to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, with extremely poor Fighting Will.
So, despite the vast disparity in numbers, neither Ye Zhan nor his Adjutant took them too seriously.
"Since the main force is in the depths, let's clear out all the outer tribes first."
Soon, Ye Zhan formulated the battle plan for the next day: first, clear out the goblin tribes on the outskirts.
If the objective was to exterminate the goblins here, then the best and fastest method would be to concentrate all forces, with the elite cavalry as the vanguard, and charge directly into the depths of the plains for a Decisive battle to determine the outcome, before the goblins in the depths of the plains could react.
Once the largest tribes were defeated, the remaining goblins, even if still numerous, would not be able to pose a significant threat.
However, if the objective was Military Training, then there was no need to rush.
Clearing out the outer tribes would force the goblins to unite and gradually engage in larger battles, thus achieving the effect of training soldiers.
Seeking investment.
