Chapter 1020

They were all standing on the open ground outside the village, resting, waiting for the battle to begin.

After Zhao Chi returned, Gu Qing and the others crowded around, asking about the situation.

Zhao Chi shook his head: "I'm not sure either. Let's wait for the notification."

But very soon, the notification sounded.

It was a forced voice message.

It was a hoarse voice.

【Hello everyone】

【I am Mu Chang Jiehang, and also the captain of our Mu Chang team】

【Everyone should already be prepared, right?】

【Today's target is Horn Cliff Town. If we can take it down today, then the entire southern district of Snowfield City will be under our Holy Race's rule】

【We are currently in wartime. Some of our Holy Race's methods may be a bit extreme, and many of you are dissatisfied】

【But there's no other choice, because our Holy Race is also fighting for you】

【You shouldn't have forgotten what the Nobles did, right?】

【You were angry, you endured, but you had no strength, so you could only keep suffering the Nobles' exploitation, even being massacred】

【But our Holy Race discovered it. Because we are benevolent and kind, we help you attack the Nobles】

【Now the Nobles have been driven to the central region and are about to be completely wiped out】

【Don't forget, it was our Holy Race who drove the Nobles away for you, it was our Holy Race who avenged you】

【The Holy Race is your benefactor】

【The Holy Race is your second parents】

【Those who don't know gratitude don't deserve to live】

【Today is the day for you to repay the kindness】

【Go occupy Horn Cliff Town, fight with all your might, the Holy Race will reward you】

【When the battle is won, peaceful life will return. Under our rule, you will live more freely】

What a shameless bunch.

Zhao Chi tried several times to close the voice message.

But it was a forced voice message, he had to listen.

Besides, there was still important information he hadn't heard, so Zhao Chi couldn't close it either.

Mu Chang continued speaking.

【Horn Cliff Town has been occupied by those bandits of General Yan Ling. It doesn't belong to them, it belongs to the Holy Race】

【Those people call themselves the World-Breaking Army. Listen to that, World-Breaking Army — they are the culprits who destroyed this city!】

【So we are righteous, and you are also righteous】

【Don't be fooled by them. Let us crush them completely!】

【Today we also have allies, several Holy Race armies attacking together, so we are sure to win!】

【At 10 o'clock, 40 minutes from now, we will launch the general assault】

【Same as last time, our Holy Race's experts will teleport everyone. The teleportation fee is also required】

【The list has been sent out, pay immediately】

【Now, everyone chant with me】

【Long live the Holy Race!】

【Long live the Holy Race!】

【Long live the Holy Race!!】

Damn it… you alien races should die as soon as possible…

Zhao Chi frowned and closed the system.

Even after listening to the end, he didn't hear any information about this opponent.

Instead, he received a fee list.

【Emergency Tax List】

【Item】Teleportation Fee

【Category】War Tax

【Lord】Zhao Chi

【Territory】Taoyuan Village

【Level】Medium Village

【Amount】20 Gold Coins

【Pay tax remotely?】

20 Gold Coins??

Isn't this robbery?

Last time teleporting to outside the nearby South Forest Village was 5 Gold Coins, this time teleporting to outside Horn Cliff Town is 20 Gold Coins, 4 times more.

Could it be because Horn Cliff Town is farther, so the cost is higher?

Zhao Chi had been waiting for Mu Chang to announce the enemy's situation, such as the enemy's numbers.

Last time attacking South Forest Village, Xiao Ning had announced it.

The previous lord of South Forest Village had a total of 352 people: 82 village-level, 173 town-level, 87 county-level, 9 commandery-level, 1 prefecture-level.

And on his own side were 20 alien-race lords, plus the entire lord of Stream Village.

And this time, there were as many as 65 alien lords, plus the lords of Creek Village and South Forest Village.

Moreover, Master Mu Chang said several other alien armies were attacking together.

This showed that the World-Breaking Army lords in Horn Cliff Town were extremely numerous and extremely powerful.

Although he didn't know how many, there were certainly over a thousand lords, possibly even several thousand.

The number of state-level and commandery-level lords was surely even greater, and there might even be kingdom-level lords.

Such a powerful force truly required multiple alien armies to join forces in exterminating it.

The aliens would most likely not lose…

So… was such a powerful resistance force going to be wiped out today?

Did they really have to fight them?

Fight them… on behalf of the aliens?

This is fucking wrong.

If they backstabbed the aliens…

That wouldn't work either…

The aliens were too strong…

The last attack on Rock Screen was still fresh in his mind.

That time it was only 200 werewolves, and Zhao Chi had fought in a very sorry state.

And that time there was only one Rock Screen; on his side were Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, Qi Yue, plus himself — everyone went all out.

It took a 4-on-1 to take down Rock Screen at the cost of their lives.

And those female soldiers were no match for the werewolves.

Zhao Chi estimated his own limit should be 2 wolf-race heroes, plus 300 werewolves.

If those female craftsmen were also counted in, at most another 50 werewolves.

Any more than that and it would really be dicey.

But could any random alien lord really have only this few people?

This is fucking hard.

He didn't want to fight, and he didn't have the strength to rebel either…

No, he'd better ask the clan leader again.

Zhao Chi sent a voice message directly.

【Clan leader, can we vote one more time? Do we really have to fight on behalf of these aliens?】

Zhao Shizhang did not reply.

Zhao Chi asked again:
