Chapter 1204

Anyway, they're sure to win, so there's no need to go over.

Let's look at Yang Xiong and Lu Yi's side again.

【Battlefield 316】

【Friendly combat power: 3670/5244】

【Enemy combat power: 1312/2472】

Among them:

【Lu Yi's group combat power: 564/913】

Even less of a problem.

Reinforcements have also gone to their side.

The relative gap in combat power is even greater.

He estimated that once this battle ended, they would all reap decent spoils.

Zhao Chi was reassured.

He checked the information of the other friendly forces again.

In the battle just now, roughly 20% of the friendly forces couldn't hold out and were defeated.

Most were captured, but some were killed.

Those captured friendly lords became bargaining chips for the enemy.

After occupying this Copper Rock Town, the enemy lords could use these captured lords to buy their lives.

By returning the captured lords, they could exchange for their own freedom.

Or join the World-Breaking Army and become surrendered lords.

As for the other 80% of lords, they all held their ground.

Although they suffered losses to varying degrees, as long as they could win, everything could be recovered.

Zhao Chi also suffered losses this time.

However, personnel losses weren't great; mainly equipment losses.

All troops' weapons were destroyed, and aside from the Mystic Maiden Battle Armor, all the armor was also destroyed.

Some fashion items were also damaged.

These economic losses were considerable.

If those fashion items hadn't been made by Zhao Chi himself, it would definitely be a huge loss.

And there were also personnel losses of 30 female soldiers.

After all, this is war.

Wanting no one to die would be too naive.

Those skeletons were weak, but there were simply too many of them, attacking from all sides, so the killing power was absolutely not low.

Fortunately, they could all be revived; in another 24 days, they would be able to return.

When that time comes, he'd give them a proper welcome back.

Throughout Zhao Jing's territory, there were broken bones everywhere.

These broken bones were naturally raw material for fertilizer.

In manure, besides mixing in straw, mixing in this bone ash also worked.

But these were trivial and not worth much.

Just leave them here.

This time, 4 enemies were captured: 3 were human heroes, and 1 was the enemy lord Chen Xian.

All were bound by Gu Qing's silk threads, unable to move.

Chen Xian was unconscious; the other 3 were awake, but none dared to make a sound. They huddled cautiously in the silk cocoons, hoping Zhao Chi and the others would forget about them.

But how could that be possible.

Zhao Chi kicked one of them: "Gu Qing, drag him to the side, I have questions to ask."

"Okay!"

Gu Qing pulled the silk thread, lifting that person up in one go and placing him far away.

With the overload load-bearing capacity boost, Gu Qing's standard load could easily reach 150 kilograms.

She could also briefly reach a maximum load-bearing of 450 kilograms.

For a human male, she could simply lift him up effortlessly.

The captive was so scared he shouted twice.

Zhao Chi said: "Stop shouting, you're a man, how can you scream? Your name is Wang Chang, right? I see your identity is someone from the Heavenly King Army?"

Wang Chang lay on the ground, nodding hurriedly: "Yes, I'm from the Heavenly King Army, currently under Chen Xian's banner, fighting for him. This was all Chen Xian's order, I never wanted to fight you guys."

Zhao Chi said impatiently: "Don't waste words, I have questions to ask you."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll definitely tell you. I know a lot about that bastard Chen Xian, I'll report everything to you."

Zhao Chi said displeasedly: "Did I ask about Chen Xian? For questions I haven't raised, don't waste words, understand?"

"Understood! Understood!"

Wang Chang nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Chi said: "Do you know the body piloting technique?"

"Yes, I do."

"When using the body piloting technique, how do you bring the armor into the target's body?"

"Huh?"

Wang Chang was a bit dumbfounded.

He seemed not to understand Zhao Chi's question at all.

Zhuang Ya, seeing that they were about to interrogate a prisoner, followed along as well.

Seeing him play dumb, she immediately pulled out a dagger: "You don't understand our my lord's question?"

Wang Chang shook his head vigorously: "No, no, heroine, don't be rash. I'm just... not quite sure why you'd ask that. The body piloting technique can bring equipment in to begin with, right? As for why... I don't know either."

"Huh? You can directly wear armor and enter inside a skeleton?"

"Yes, you can."

Zhao Chi looked at him with an unreadable expression.

He was a bit at a loss.

But the man spoke very candidly, not like he was trying to deceive him.

Moreover, the body piloting technique was very common—a required skill for skeleton lords—so there was no reason for the man to lie to him.

But why was it that when Zhao Chi entered Gu Qing and the others' bodies, his equipment would automatically stay behind?

Wang Chang saw Zhao Chi staring at him without speaking, and grew very nervous.

He took the initiative to ask: "Um... I'm fairly familiar with the body piloting technique. If you have any questions about using it, I can try to answer."

Zhao Chi considered for a moment.

He wondered whether his question might touch on privacy.

But actually, it was fine.

What he wanted to ask were all routine questions a beginner would have.

And Zhao Chi's race wasn't skeleton—he had never studied the relevant courses, so having these questions was perfectly normal.

So he asked: "Can the body piloting technique pilot a living target?"

Wang Chang nodded, then shook his head and said: "It can, but it's quite dangerous. After all, the body is the most private thing there is. Even a subordinate with very high loyalty, in their subconscious, doesn't wish to have their body occupied, so they'll resist."

"What happens if they resist?"

"Usually it's no big deal—at worst the skill just fails. But if the other party is hostile, they might attack your soul force. That'll injure your soul force, and in more serious cases it can be directly destroyed, turning your own body into a soulless husk."

This point, he had heard Li Ruanyu mention before.

Zhao Chi asked again: "If the other party doesn't resist, when you enter their body, you can't wear armor?"

Wang Chang was still very puzzled: "That's not it either... Are you trying to enter the other person without wearing armor, and then take control?"

Zhao Chi didn't know how to phrase the question.

He could only nod: "Is there such a method?"

Wang Chang muttered: "Just don't wear armor when you enter, wouldn't that work? If you're wearing armor... it probably won't work. And that way isn't safe either—once the body is destroyed, when you come out you won't have any armor. Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

"What I'm asking is whether this method exists."
