The 300,000-strong Blood Battle unit did not return to the Huaxia Empire but sat quietly in an open area within the city, still emanating that crimson aura.
The power of Bloodlust could last for a full ten days. After ten days, the Bloodlust effect would dissipate.
However, if the Blood Battle unit managed to kill even one enemy within those ten days, the Bloodlust effect would be renewed for another ten days at full intensity!
In the games of the previous world, the Blood Battle unit was a high-priority target to eliminate as soon as possible, especially before their Bloodlust skill could fully stack.
A fully stacked Blood Battle unit was terrifying.
However, the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe of this world had no idea what a Blood Battle unit was or the significance of the blood-colored aura surrounding them.
Yuan Xiang observed the Blood Battle unit with great interest. He couldn't understand how the soul power attributes of 300,000 people could be exactly the same, their physiques identical, and even the aura they emitted was identical.
The only difference was their faces, each one distinct.
It was impossible for soul power attributes to be exactly the same. Even if two people had fire as their soul power attribute, there would still be subtle differences in the fluctuations of their soul power.
Having the same soul power attribute was not surprising; Yuan Xiang had seen teams composed of individuals with the same attribute before.
But for even the soul power fluctuations to be identical was beyond comprehension.
Not only Yuan Xiang, but even Lin Qian himself couldn't fully understand it. Every living unit in the Huaxia Empire possessed intelligence, could mate, and reproduce—except for two types of combat units.
The Imperial Army and War Beasts!
Generals and war beast commanders were exceptions, possessing life and intelligence.
But the soldiers and war beasts were like intelligent puppets, eerily unique.
The Blood Battle unit was an advanced evolution of the basic sword unit through the barracks. By refining five sword soldiers in the barracks, one Blood Battle soldier could be created!
Meanwhile, spearmen, swordsmen, shield-bearers, archers, and swift soldiers were all directly manufactured in the barracks.
As for war beasts, they were also manufactured directly from the War Beast Den or tamed from randomly spawned wild creatures.
Mass-produced units—how could they not be identical?
Their faces were different only because the game developers in the previous world considered that if all the faces were the same, players would get sick of it, so they added a feature for random faces.
When Lin Qian came to this world, the Huaxia Empire retained this characteristic.
"Speaking of which, since you're preparing to go to war with the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe, when will you start?" Yuan Xiang floated over to Lin Qian after observing the Blood Battle unit.
Seeing Yuan Xiang's curious and eager expression, Lin Qian chuckled and asked, "Senior, you were the one trying to convince me not to go to war with the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe, but now you're more anxious than I am?"
Yuan Xiang quickly responded, "How could it be the same? I originally thought you were going to fight millions of Xunyin and Wuxing Tribe members with just a few dozen people, so of course, I had to advise against it. Who could have guessed that you have such a mysterious ability to summon armies and skilled individuals out of thin air?"
Hearing Yuan Xiang's words, Lin Qian smiled. He had only been teasing earlier.
Then, looking into the distance, Lin Qian's face lit up with a smile. "Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never lose a hundred battles. Charging in blindly to fight is asking for trouble."
"I don't get it. Didn't you already use that strange potion to make them tell the truth earlier?"
"Some things need to be verified personally. Just wait and see, Senior." As he said this, Lin Qian's face showed extreme confidence. "I'll show you what a full-scale war really is. I'll make these two alien tribes kneel and beg for mercy!"
As he said this, Lin Qian's face showed a crazed and excited expression, his fists clenched in anticipation, and he even appeared a bit eager.
From the previous world to now, the Huaxia Empire had yet to fight a real war.
Whether it was the Initial State or the Coastal State, those couldn't be considered wars at all. They were more like one-sided massacres, devoid of any challenge or excitement.
This time, however, the enemy even had powerhouses in the Awakening Realm, which made Lin Qian's blood boil.
A bit of difficulty made the challenge worthwhile.
Such a valuable small world—if it was conquered too easily, what would be the point?
Seeing Lin Qian's excited expression and recalling his earlier words, Yuan Xiang could only wait patiently, eager to see what this full-scale war Lin Qian spoke of would look like.
At that moment, on the grasslands in front of the city where Lin Qian was stationed, a thousand members of the Gale Force were sprinting forward at great speed.
Suddenly, the swift soldiers in groups scattered, forming teams of two.
As they moved, they suddenly took out a few skill jades and tossed them into their mouths without even chewing, swallowing them directly.
"Anti-reconnaissance activated, blocking formation detection."
"Enhanced vision, doubled sharpness."
"Speed enhancement!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the speed of these swift soldiers increased dramatically, creating sonic booms as they rushed toward the intelligence-gathering city.
Lin Qian's intentions were clear—he planned to thoroughly scout out the cities of the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe all at once!
Among the scattered swift soldiers, two in the central area began to see the outline of a city ahead.
As they approached the city, their speed gradually slowed down.
As they got closer, the two swift soldiers adjusted their hoods slightly, and the dark green color of their soft armor began to change, blending in with the grasslands below.
At that moment, the formation in the city ahead suddenly emitted a wave of energy, sweeping toward the two swift soldiers.
However, the detection wave from the formation was very weak. After brushing past the two swift soldiers, it dissipated without triggering any alarm. A faint green light shimmered on the two soldiers' bodies, emitting the scent of fresh grass.
Clearly, the city's formation didn't detect anything unusual, and the two swift soldiers went unnoticed.
In reality, the reconnaissance part of the city's formation was very weak.
After all, the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe never imagined that someone like Lin Qian would exist—someone ready to wage war against them. Nor did they expect the Gale Force to have the ability to block their perception after consuming skill jades.
The Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe members on the city walls were chatting and laughing, oblivious to the fact that two Gale Force soldiers had already stealthily approached.
