Chapter 1727

Meng Meng said: "Everyone stack your skills first, then charge!"

"Yes!"

"Got it, Brother Meng."

Light blazed forth.

A brilliant light erupted from Meng Meng and the eight heroes.

Various buffs scattered out, wrapping around all the Frenzied Ghouls.

The Frenzied Ghouls' roars grew even louder.

All their muscles bulged, and their claws and fangs seemed to glint with a bloody red light.

The exposed crimson muscle turned a purplish-brown, looking far stronger.

3,000 Frenzied Ghouls gathered into a single horde.

They truly looked like a pack of tigers descending the mountain.

That momentum alone seemed enough to whip up a gust of wind.

But the female soldiers' hearts were utterly unmoved.

Gu Qing stared at Meng Meng and his subordinates with an even darker expression.

With 18 Intelligence, her hearing was extremely sharp.

She had heard every word of Meng Meng's conversation perfectly clearly.

Not a shred of respect to be found.

Even enemies come in different kinds.

Some enemies are polite, or at least not talkative—merely on different sides, different stances, so a fight is unavoidable.

Even if they can't be friends, they're still opponents worthy of respect.

For people like that, if there's no absolute need to kill, Zhao Chi leans toward sparing them—and Gu Qing feels the same.

But an enemy like Meng Meng—you can tell from one sentence he's the kind who absolutely has to die.

A sliver of killing intent rose in Gu Qing.

Zhao Chi 【It's fine, Gu Qing. Kill them all, no need to spare any】

Gu Qing 【My lord, you heard that?】

Zhao Chi 【Mm, I heard their words and your thoughts too. We can kill them all—go up and finish them off in a bit】

Gu Qing 【No need for that. Capture them first. Their system spaces are bound to have good stuff—strip them clean, then kill them】

Zhao Chi 【Just capture Meng Meng. The rest are subordinates; their system spaces probably don't have anything too valuable. We need martial rating right now—killing enemy heroes on the battlefield raises our rating, so just kill them】

Gu Qing 【Understood! But… my lord, if you want, you could do that】

Zhao Chi 【Do what?】

Gu Qing 【Hehe~ slip inside and play】

Zhao Chi 【…Be serious. We're in battle】

Gu Qing 【Oh, I know. Mr. Prim~】

Zhao Chi 【…Hmph】

Gu Qing 【Heehee~】

Both sides charged.

On one side, the Frenzied Ghouls howled wildly as they charged down the slope.

They had already left the 1,000 crossbowmen far behind, as if they couldn't care less about ranged combat.

3,000 Frenzied Ghouls against 900 female soldiers—wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

On the other side, the female soldiers charged uphill on their long legs in white stockings.

Even though it was an uphill slope, with the double bonus of Biting Wind Step + high heels, their terrain adaptability reached +75%!

For them, the climb was practically a gentle slope.

Running didn't tire them out at all.

Occasionally a step would land in a small pothole or on loose gravel, but their extremely soft, flexible ankles could correct their footing instantly, and combined with the tough-bone gene, they weren't affected in the slightest.

The distance between the two sides grew shorter and shorter.

Zhuang Ya was on the left flank of the formation.

She pulled out two bottles of the latest "Long-Lasting Super-Hot Fire Oil" and doused herself with it.

This fire oil had been improved with the latest upgrades—heat +1000%, burn time +1000%—no need to bring charcoal to ignite it anymore.

The viscous fire oil dripped from her face down over her body.

Zhuang Ya didn't know why, but suddenly the scene felt oddly familiar.

Vaguely, a memory surfaced of Zhao Chi doing something similar to her.

But it definitely wasn't as much as this fire oil—only as viscous.

Why was she thinking about that…

Zhuang Ya steadied her mind.

Ignite.

Fwoosh~

Flames erupted instantly.

Zhuang Ya, over four meters tall, instantly became a giant woman of flame.

The great fire blazed fiercely.

Female soldiers several meters away—even over a dozen meters away—could feel the air turning scorching.

But Zhuang Ya was completely unaffected.

Not even a single hair was singed.

Because the outermost layer was essentially the Extreme Heavy Mystic Maiden Armor — to burn through to Zhuang Ya would require sustained fire for a period of time.

But Zhuang Ya had already immediately converted this great fire in real time.

Flames soared and spun, as if a fiery whirlwind had been whipped up.

Completely wrapping Zhuang Ya within it.

Immediately after, all the flames circled into a ring, enveloping Zhuang Ya inside.

"Xia Yan, lead everyone to spread out — we're about to enter the fireballs' range."

"Yes!"

The fifty Tier Two fire mages immediately broke from the formation, pulling open a line on the left side of the formation and arranging themselves in a row.

The distance had been reached.

Zhuang Ya gave a loud order:

"Fire at will, but keep half your combat strength in reserve for the next battle!"

"Understood!"

Fifty pairs of slender, delicate hands cupped together before their chests.

Spiritual power gathered, temperature rose.

One hundred fireballs condensed into being.

The next instant, arms thrust forward.

The fair, tender arms transformed into cannon barrels, and fireballs poured out one after another.

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!

The fireballs whistled through the air.

Fist-sized fireballs spurted forth one after another, streaking across the noon sky.

After one hundred came another hundred, and a few seconds later another hundred.

Several hundred fireballs fell in successive waves, but the Frenzied Corpse Ghosts had no intention of dodging.

They even wanted to laugh.

What power could these little fireballs possibly have?

As ridiculous as throwing eggs.

Meng Meng held his shield in front of his body: "Hah, women are women after all — you've given me a good laugh, sir."

Xu Jun also laughed: "Yeah, just like those women who couldn't even push us back — let's let them struggle a little."

Ye Xuan flattered: "Brother Meng, you really hit the nail on the head — those women need to be shown a thing or two first, otherwise they won't know their own place."
