Chapter 1445

Everyone was discussing heatedly.

Zhao Chi was also secretly surprised.

When he had just run into Wei Li, she said she had been temporarily conscripted over, and Zhao Chi had already braced himself.

He had anticipated that the Breaking World Army was going to make a big move.

But at the time he had thought it was for the battle a few days later.

He hadn't expected it was for today's battle.

And today was the last day of November; at 6 a. m. tomorrow morning, a new monthly assessment would appear.

By then, all lords would surely get a power boost.

He guessed the Breaking World Army was seizing on this timing to give those alien races a vicious back-strike before their power boost.

Those werewolves had it rough too.

To wipe out the nobles, they'd been constantly getting their backsides ripped open by those bandits of the Heavenly King Army everywhere.

Bit by bit, east and west, they'd lost a lot of strength and territory.

And now, the Breaking World Army was hitting them with another big one.

It seemed the Breaking World Army had been planning this for a long time.

No wonder there had been no movement.

It was all in preparation for this show.

After all, supporting the nobles was the kind of thing that definitely had to be discussed and approved internally.

Then, by various means, they had to bypass the alien races' encirclement and make contact with the nobles.

After making contact, they still had to negotiate.

Once negotiations were done, they had to discuss internally again and draw up a battle plan.

Only after everything was prepared did they have today's action.

And now even communications were being cut off; it seemed the Breaking World Army had bet quite a lot on this battle.

The surrounding discussion grew louder and louder; everyone was planning and scheming battle tactics with their teammates.

Su Qin and the others were also discussing battle coordination.

But Su Qin still deliberately came over quietly to ask Zhao Chi.

"Zhao Chi, are you going solo again later? Or fighting with us?"

"I'll go solo."

Su Qin nodded: "Oh, alright… But I might need to use energy points later; if I need it, remember to activate it for me."

Zhao Chi chuckled lightly: "No problem."

Su Qin said regretfully: "Too bad I can't transform this time; my combat power is going to drop another notch."

Zhao Chi comforted her: "Your combat power was already very strong to begin with—many lords from your same batch can't even reach half of yours. Strength is built up slowly; you'll definitely make it."

Su Qin laughed: "It's not that exaggerated. I'm at most a little stronger than them, and that's mostly thanks to your outfit… But I'll give it my all. I'm going to go discuss with them then; call me if you need anything."

"Mm, go ahead."

He turned his head.

In the rear-left, Yang Xiong was arguing with Cao Feng,

while Lu Yi ignored them and was discussing battle plans with Li Xun and Wang Lie.

Zhao Chi had originally wanted to use a voice-transmission talisman to notify Gu Qing, so she could warn everyone in advance to prepare for battle.

But now that communications were cut, forget it.

Besides, the formations in this central zone were all county-level formations; enemies would be bound for a long time, so preparing on the spot later was no problem at all.

Soon, everyone felt something beside them vanish.

Li Ruanyu's voice arrived at the same moment:

"Everyone, our teammates ahead have reached their designated positions. I will teleport immediately; communications have been restored. Please enter the battlefield at once—don't give the werewolves any time to react!"

The next second, Zhao Chi was back in Taoyuan Village.

He immediately struck the great bell beside the Lord's Hall.

Dong~ dong~ dong~!

The crisp sound spread throughout the entire territory.

A few female soldiers on duty heard it and vanished immediately.

They teleported separately to the other three territories to notify the others.

Zhao Chi didn't move.

He opened the system.

He checked the current situation.

【Breaking World Army Lords List】

【Total】 12,182 people

【Village-level Lords】 3,416 people

【Town-level Lords】 5,108 people

【County-level Lords】 3,165 people

【Prefecture-level Lords】 477 people

【Province-level Lords】 16 people

As expected, the lords numbered over ten thousand—12,000 of them.

The most were town-level lords.

Su Qin is also a town-level lord, probably ranking around the middle of all lords.

County-level lords are also numerous, a full 3,200-plus people.

Most of the Zhao family's elders are basically county-level lords.

The Zhao family's only prefecture-level lord is the team leader, Zhao Shizhang.

He hadn't expected there to be as many as 477 prefecture-level lords.

They're probably all clan heads, elders, and the like from various families.

There are also 16 state-level lords.

He wondered who these people might be.

The few regiment commanders and vice regiment commanders should all be state-level.

Then come the brigade commanders.

The vice brigade commanders, and squadron commanders like Li Ruanyu, should also all be prefecture-level.

Zhao Chi now doesn't know exactly how much real combat power he actually has.

Previously, when reinforcing Zhao Jing, he had joined forces with Zhao Jing to defeat a Skeleton Lord with remaining combat power of 6,886.

A few days ago, he and Su Qin destroyed a Shi Laimu nest together; although the Shi Laimu nest was weakened, it should still have had 10,000 points of combat power.

Zhao Chi had Su Qin's help that time, but he himself suffered no troop losses at all.

So he estimated his own combat power absolutely exceeded 10,000 points, and figured 12,000–13,000 was no problem.

If estimated by this combat power, he was already at the level of a weaker county-level lord.

Then he had county-level strength.

At least among these 12,000 people, he ranked within the top 3,500.

"My lord, a battle is coming?"

Just as he was thinking, Gu Qing came running over in a hurry.

She was already fully outfitted.

A suit of extremely heavy iron armor and shield, plus an exceptionally thick Moon-Chasing Spear, and a Phoenix-Cry Blade with an enormous edge.

It had nothing to do with elegance anymore.

Gu Qing's originally light footsteps had now turned into the thump-thump-thump-thump of a drum.

Each step kicked up clouds of dust.

Setting everything else aside, one look and you felt safe.

Zhao Chi couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, a sudden battle. Gather everyone over."

Gu Qing said, "Mm, everyone's putting on their gear right now. They'll be here soon."

"How does that gear feel to wear? Is it heavy?"
