Defending the city.
Actually, Milan alone could annihilate this Lizardmen troop.
But Chen Ping wanted to develop the territory's army, so he naturally wouldn't let Milan act that way.
Watching the soldiers' proper stances, Chen Ping secretly nodded.
Facing the vast Lizardmen army, they showed no fear, and that was enough.
One couldn't demand too much from new recruits.
Inside the city gate, most of the residents gripped their hands tightly, nervously watching outside.
This was the first large-scale attack they had experienced since arriving at the territory, and everyone wanted to know if the territory had the ability to protect them.
Residents summoned by the High-Dimensional Power were fine.
Those summoned from the Population Hall might lose trust if they saw the territory's strength was lacking.
Milan and the cavalry were very fast, merging with the squad at the city gate in less than a minute.
The pursuing Lizardmen hesitated when they saw the tall city wall.
Clearly, the three-meter-high wall Chen Ping had built put immense pressure on them.
Even the Lizardmen leader seemed indecisive at this moment.
Seeing that the enemy might retreat, Milan raised an eyebrow and stepped forward again.
Her graceful figure stood at the very front, and she made a throat-slitting gesture towards the Lizardmen leader.
"Roar!"
The Lizardmen leader was instantly provoked by this!
The territory's guard team totaled only a little over twenty people, utterly insignificant compared to his "great army."
This damned woman actually dared to look down on him.
Attack!
Everyone, attack for me!
Kill the males for food! Take the females back to enjoy!
That purple-haired woman is mine!
Wah ga!!
The Lizardmen, brandishing swords, roared out and charged towards the territory.
Milan, meanwhile, retreated to the back of the formation.
To the Lizardmen leader, this looked like Milan was scared of him, which instantly boosted his confidence and courage.
On the territory's side, seeing the Lizardmen already charging.
The soldiers in the front row raised a large wooden shield wrapped in iron, thrust it into the ground, and erected a protective wall.
The archers behind them drew arrows from the quivers standing in front of them, drew their bows, and raised them.
"Three hundred meters!"
"Two hundred meters!"
"One hundred fifty meters!"
Li Xu, holding a greatsword, cupped his hand over his eyes and continuously called out distances.
When he called out "one hundred," the archers behind him immediately shot their arrows!
This volley gave Chen Ping a surprise.
It was actually the "Rapid Fire" skill!
The archers fired arrow after arrow, with less than a second between two shots, and groups of five rotated their firing.
They actually launched a suppressive rain of arrows.
The charging Lizardmen did not expect to encounter such a level of arrow attack, and the front ranks immediately fell in swathes.
The Lizardmen leader behind them was enraged and shocked at the sight.
He immediately gathered all the Lizardmen, seizing the gaps in the arrow fire to speed up and charge in.
In the Lizardmen leader's imagination, how could fragile Militia possibly withstand their charge?
But then came a loud clang.
The Lizardmen were sent sprawling by the giant shields, and even the Lizardmen leader felt his body go numb.
Before he could react, a gap opened in the giant shield.
Li Xu, carrying that half-door-sized greatsword, rushed out.
He swung it in a full circle and brought it down with a slash!
Clang!
The Lizardmen leader's great axe was cleaved away by Li Xu's sword, leaving the entire Lizardman wide open.
The rest was simple.
Li Xu, using the speed of the greatsword, spun around and brought another slash down.
The Lizardmen leader didn't even get to see Milan make a move; he died miserably at the hands of a young man.
With the Lizardmen leader dead, the Lizardmen troop immediately fell into chaos.
The cavalry, who were already impatient, charged out in formation, cutting off their retreat.
The shield-bearing infantry continuously pressed forward.
All the residents in Chen Ping's territory watched as the Lizardmen troop was annihilated by their own territory's guard team.
And it was an effortless annihilation.
Many residents' mouths hung open; they didn't even know what expression to make.
Especially those summoned from the Population Hall, they were even more shocked.
The battle erupted quickly and ended even faster.
Soon, only a pool of blood and corpses remained in front of the city wall.
"Alright, alright, stop looking. A few people, dig a pit and bury these stinking Lizardmen corpses."
Mail, seeing Chen Ping's subtle raised eyebrow, immediately understood his lord's intentions and shouted out.
Immediately, Farmers, under his command, walked out of the city wall and began to clean up the battlefield.
"How was it, my Lord?"
Milan stood beside Chen Ping and, unusually, asked with a smile.
Clearly, this S-rank Heroic Soul was very satisfied with this battle.
Both the quality of the guard team and the individual combat power were quite outstanding.
Chen Ping nodded; he was also very satisfied.
"Very good, you led them well."
"Go, capture all the Lizardmen left at their main camp and make them slaves."
Although Lizardmen are short, their strength is decent.
Their stamina is a bit poor, but for slaves, one doesn't need to be so particular.
After today's battle, he had a direct understanding of his territory's combat strength.
Since that was the case, he would continue to exert more effort.
Although there were no professional buildings yet due to the territory's level restrictions,
He had so much knowledge that he could completely create his own textbook.
As long as the logic was self-consistent, that would be enough, and then he would let Milan check it over.
The soldiers could study the textbook in advance.
With the Heaven Rewards Diligence talent, they might be able to advance their profession or change professions earlier.
