Chapter 1015: Quick Victory (2)
"Alright, connect."
Zhao Chi said confidently.
Su Qin nodded and connected to the magical beasts.
A muffled rumble rose from the west.
But looking over, one could only see pitch black.
Especially now with the bright firelight all around, looking out into the darkness outside made it even more impossible to see anything.
The elves were all a bit nervous; they stood on the defense towers, watching the west intently, gripping their bows and arrows tightly.
The orcs and human soldiers were all arrayed in formation below.
Their loyalty wasn't high, and they had plenty of complaints about fighting at night, finding it very hard to understand.
But their loyalty was enough to get the job done, so they only grumbled a few sentences before picking up their weapons and waiting for battle.
Su Qin looked at Zhao Chi, waiting for his command.
Zhao Chi said: "Alright, Su Qin, find a safe place and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
Su Qin nodded: "Alright, if you need me, send me a message. I'll immediately bring people to support you."
Zhao Chi smiled: "Don't worry, we're off."
"Don't rush, I'll give you Eagle Eye."
Light flashed, and the vision of everyone in Zhao Chi's army was enhanced.
Su Qin said: "Eagle Eye isn't very effective at night either, but a little effect is better than none."
Zhao Chi smiled: "Exactly. You all be careful."
Then he gave orders to Gu Qing and the others: "Form up in a mobile formation, head west!"
"Yes!"
The female soldiers stretched out their long legs.
They set off with the sound of metal scraping and orderly footsteps.
The orange-yellow firelight shone on their armor, refracting into a golden glow.
Su Qin watched Zhao Chi's back with some worry, until he completely vanished into the darkness.
Hopefully this time they could run into skeletons again...
Su Qin thought silently.
"My lord Su Qin, they... why aren't they bringing torches?"
Su Qin suddenly shuddered all over.
That's right...
Zhao Chi and his female soldiers just left like that?
They aren't using torches?
The elves all looked at each other.
Could it be that they want to fight the enemy in complete darkness, groping about in the dark?
But they quickly all realized that Zhao Chi probably had some kind of illumination spiritual technique.
Su Qin said: "It's fine. Zhao Chi has his arrangements. We just need to guard the territory well and be ready to support at any time."
"Yes!"
Zhao Chi didn't have night vision genes.
Once he left the range of the torches, he couldn't see ahead at all.
But he didn't need to look; he directly burrowed into Gu Qing's body and let Gu Qing carry him forward.
Using Gu Qing's eyes, he could see everything around him clearly.
Without Su Qin's elves moving together this time, Zhao Chi's female soldiers let loose their speed, instantly sweeping past the bamboo forest.
Then they swiftly swept past the open ground.
Finally they swiftly swept past the woods.
The road was pitch black.
Especially in these woods, not even starlight could penetrate.
Up to now, no magical beasts had been spotted.
After all, magical beasts aren't all-powerful either; their eyes are ordinary eyes too, and they too are limited by this dark environment.
Zhuang Ya led the way at the front.
At this moment she suddenly reached out her hand, and Zhao Chi's entire army immediately stopped.
"My lord, Gu Qing, enemies spotted. They're goblins."
Zhuang Ya squinted, looking at the situation outside the woods.
A group of goblins squatted outside the woods; without counting carefully, the number was definitely 400.
Those goblins held different weapons, mainly spears.
Half of the goblins wore leather armor, and the other half only wore loincloths.
All the goblins huddled together, forming several crooked circular formations with spears facing outward, which provided a certain protective effect.
They were an intelligent race, after all.
Although far inferior to humans, they were still very clever and knew simple formations and tactics.
But right now the surroundings were extremely dark, so they could only huddle together for warmth.
Goblins were timid to begin with, and now they were even more cowardly, trembling nonstop.
Gu Qing and the others also saw the situation ahead.
Fighting goblins on a night like this is practically a breeze...
Zhao Chi gave the order: "Everyone listen up, take out your ropes, capture the goblins alive."
"Understood!"
The female soldiers one after another untied the hemp ropes from their waists and put away their weapons and shields.
Fighting goblins, they really didn't need weapons.
After all, they all had 6 points of Strength and wore iron hand-armor; one punch could knock a goblin flat.
Zhuang Ya specifically reminded them: "Those assigned the new high heels today, be careful — don't kick too hard, or you'll kill them with a single kick."
She still remembered the incident that morning when she had kicked a rat-man flying.
Gu Qing condensed a stream of water, quickly drank it all, and let the water rapidly digest into urine, so that the yellow silk would be a little more plentiful.
The battle began!
5 minutes.
The battle ended!
There was actually no real battle at all — it was just the female soldiers giving the goblins a one-sided beating.
"Stop struggling, or I'll give you another punch!"
"What's all the noise? So noisy, it's just a broken leg — keep yelling and I'll twist your arm off too!"
"Stop covering your crotch, I haven't even kicked hard yet, otherwise I could kick you dead on the spot. Hands out, I'm going to tie you up!"
"You dare hit me back? Take this — a slap across the mouth!"
