Chapter 1341: Shi Laimu Nest (1)

Su Qin furrowed her delicate brows slightly.

She stared at the Nest Weakening Card for a while longer.

But she still shook her head.

"No, no, Zhao Chi, that's a county-level nest, and the two of us are only town-level lords. Plus Shi Laimu have very strong recovery—if we can't one-shot them, they'll regenerate quickly. And if we don't wipe them out within a certain time, they'll just keep multiplying—there'll be no end to killing them. When that happens, they'll flood our territory like skeletons!"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "I know. We can one-shot them."

Su Qin said: "And there are definitely many different types of Shi Laimu inside the nest, using all kinds of spiritual techniques—there are too many things to watch out for. And don't forget, it's a nest, so there will absolutely be an Emperor Shi Laimu—a real Emperor Shi Laimu, not a weakened one!"

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "If there were no Emperor Shi Laimu, I wouldn't even bother going. Don't worry, we can win."

Su Qin nodded and said: "Win? How exactly? Zhao Chi, please don't be rash. You don't understand nests."

Her anxiety was not feigned.

Zhao Chi actually hesitated a little.

Could there be some special circumstance?

Zhao Chi said: "Alright, then tell me everything you know about the nest. Let me assess it."

"Fine, listen to me slowly. Nests really aren't as simple as you think."

Zhao Chi first took Gu Qing and the others back, then went to the bamboo table in Su Qin's territory and listened as she explained in detail.

Su Qin patiently kept talking.

But the more Zhao Chi listened, the more puzzled he became.

After talking for so long, Su Qin was basically just trying to dissuade him.

She hadn't mentioned anything particularly special.

Zhao Chi directly sent Su Qin the information on the Shi Laimu Nest.

After seeing it, Su Qin nodded repeatedly and said: "Look, the numbers are over ten thousand—didn't I tell you? And the level is as high as 50. How are we supposed to beat that?"

Zhao Chi said: "So the danger you mentioned is really just because the enemy is strong and numerous, right?"

Su Qin said matter-of-factly: "Of course. Those five lords I just told you about all died because they were careless and reckless, blindly connecting to the nest."

"So if our combat power is strong enough, we can take the nest, right?"

"Obviously."

Zhao Chi asked: "How much combat power do you think I have?"

Su Qin was taken aback.

Then she murmured: "Although your stats only show a little over 500, your hidden combat power is absurd. You're definitely much stronger than me. I have over 2,000 combat power, so you must have over 3,000—maybe even 4,000."

Zhao Chi asked: "How much combined combat power do you think the two of us would need to take this Shi Laimu Nest?"

"At least 15,000 to 20,000. Look, it says right here—it's a formal-group mission. And with just the two of us, we need to be even more careful. To be safe, around 20,000 combat power is about right."

"What if we add this Nest Weakening Card?"

"The weakening card is random too. What if it only rolls 80%? The enemy wouldn't be weakened by much."

"So, depending on the card, 4,000 to 16,000 combat power should be enough, right?"

"Mm… theoretically, yes."

Zhao Chi thought carefully.

He recalled the situation when he had gone to aid Zhao Jing.

【Request for Reinforcement: Battlefield 430】

【Friendly: Town-level Lord Zhao Jing, Beast Race, Combat Power 3,897/6,060】

【Enemy: Town-level Lord Chen Xian, Skeleton Race, Combat Power 6,886/7,942】

At the time, Zhao Jing had been in the forest, fighting Chen Xian's skeletons for a round.

But because the enemy's combat power of 7,942 was nearly 2,000 higher than Zhao Jing's 6,060, Zhao Jing lost the first round.

He immediately retreated into his territory and began a defensive battle.

At that point, all of Zhao Jing's melee units had been wiped out. Although his elves' main force was still intact, the hero's spiritual power was nearly exhausted.

So his combat power dropped from 6,060 to 3,897.

A total loss of 2,163 points.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jing had also killed quite a few of Chen Xian's skeletons, reducing the enemy's combat power by 1,056 points.

When Zhao Chi entered the battlefield to support, Zhao Jing was trapped inside the wall, fighting the skeletons within.

And outside the wall there were still over a hundred skeletons.

Those were all being killed by Zhao Chi.

Moreover, at that time, the enemy's skeleton heroes were basically all outside the wall.

It could be said that the combat power outside the wall was definitely over 5,500, possibly even reaching 6,000.

At the time, Zhao Chi's army only had 500 soldiers, with no healers or mages.

And each female soldier only had one Phoenix Cry Blade or Moon-Chasing Spear.

They also had no Mystic Maiden Shields, and only 84 sets of Mystic Maiden Armor.

Zhuang Ya didn't yet have the Scorching Body gene, the Taoyuan women didn't have the Flame Creature gene, and the over-limit load hadn't been enhanced either.

In short, they were much weaker than now.

But they still won back then.

And they didn't win by a narrow margin.

Although all their equipment shattered and they lost quite a bit of fashion gear.

Only 30 soldiers were lost.
