Chapter 1742

Of course, the Zhaochiye Society feels pretty good too.

Saves effort and works well.

Both sides are satisfied.

But if we're talking about saving effort, it's actually still Zhuang Ya.

There's no helping it.

Zhao Chi barely has to put in any effort, and Zhuang Ya's energy just shoots up and up and up.

It's practically automatic energy boosting.

And the feeling of being with her is also very strange.

After all, the position and the sensation are different.

But the price…

Is having to visit the Carefree Spring frequently.

But it doesn't matter, since it's all rich fragrance anyway.

After being with Gu Qing, he also needs to visit the Carefree Spring frequently.

But it doesn't matter either.

Gu Qing is the most well-rounded, with excellent compatibility toward Zhao Chi—any position, any play, all of it works.

Everything follows Zhao Chi's wishes.

So her point energy will fluctuate somewhat, not very stable.

Now that it's for Li Ruanyu's use, he definitely has to use some gentle-type energy—after all, she just… not long ago—and he also has to try not to affect her combat, so he can only give her the energy of Qi Yue or Su Qin.

Just as he was thinking, Su Qin's message also appeared.

Su Qin 【5 points!】

Zhao Chi immediately activated 5 points of her own energy.

Their own energy is naturally the best match for themselves.

And it makes it easier to steady the body.

Su Qin said nothing more.

This is called tacit understanding.

After some time, Li Ruanyu will probably also become as brief as Su Qin.

It's now roughly a little over 20 minutes until the battle erupts.

According to the normal pace of combat, both sides should have just met.

After all, normal battles don't move too fast—everyone, in pursuit of stability, mostly forms up and advances step by step.

A battle like Zhao Chi's, charging in with everyone right from the start, is rare.

Unless one side holds a huge advantage.

If it's evenly matched, they basically have to fight slowly.

After a while, Li Ruanyu's message came again.

This time her message was very brief.

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi, 10 points, quick!】

Looks like her fight is also intense.

Gone is the politeness from just now.

Zhao Chi also hurriedly activated 10 points of energy and transmitted it to her.

Turning back.

Zhao Chi's own battlefield was being quickly cleared.

Around 2,000 or so Frenzied Corpse Ghost corpses were also decent materials.

They could be broken down into materials for making Berserker Potions.

And if one didn't mind, their meat wasn't inedible either…

But unfortunately Frenzied Corpse Ghosts have no skin, so leather can't be broken out of them.

Doesn't matter, haul it all away.

After leaving behind the necessary garrison personnel, all the female villagers in Zhao Chi's territory came running to scavenge and transport the materials.

Cart after cart of large wooden wagons kept transporting.

With Song Yun's transport team as the main force, all the other work teams also came to help.

All of them have very high load-bearing capacity; lifting a whole large crate of materials is no problem at all.

A large wagon can be filled up very quickly.

Transport efficiency is extremely high.

Wei Leng, leading the female soldiers, had already finished tying up those 1,000 Spirit Healers.

Their healing ability is quite decent.

The Quandou Society all know healing technique and Life Healing technique.

They're just single-target, though.

But even so, it's still quite good.

Zhao Chi has no use for them, so he can pick some out for Su Qin and send the rest to Li Ruanyu.

Anyway, money isn't lacking now, so he won't sell them—use them for his own people.

Quite a few steel crossbows were also captured; he can ask Su Qin if she wants them.

Crossbows attack much slower than bows, but the trajectory is flat and straight, and the armor-piercing ability is very strong.

If arranged into a crossbow formation, the power really would be quite considerable.

Bows and crossbows are both ranged weapons, but they belong to their own separate sub-categories—neither can fully replace the other.

If they can be paired together, of course it's even better.

In Meng Meng's territory there were still quite a few craftsmen, mostly humans and elven races. There were over 300 Expert-level ones, 85 Master-level ones, and nearly 1,000 Intermediate craftsmen remaining.

That really is quite good.

Setting everything else aside for now, capture them all and take them back first.

All living forces within Meng Meng's territory were completely captured.

Next…

comes the looting phase,

Zhao Chi remained inside Gu Qing the entire time.

After all, this was enemy territory—a Frenzied Corpse might suddenly rush out from some room, or there could be traps; if Zhao Chi were on his own it would be far too dangerous.

Being inside Gu Qing is both comfortable and safe—why not?

This county town isn't all that big.

But of course it's much larger than Zhao Chi's few territories; most of the buildings are a combination of wood and stone.

Human buildings and Frenzied Corpse buildings each make up about half.

Most of the buildings are on the hilltop.

The central portion is human buildings, while the outer portion is Frenzied Corpse buildings.

The human ones are naturally all kinds of wooden and stone houses, as well as production-type buildings like blacksmith shops and tailor shops; armories and garment factories are all present too.

The Frenzied Corpse buildings, on the other hand, are basically all sorts of shacks.

Not much better than beast dens.

The smell of blood is the base note, mixed with rot and other unidentifiable odors.

There are also some special buildings here, basically all meant to strengthen Frenzied Corpses—Zhao Chi had zero interest, gave them a cursory look and left.

Officially entering the interior of the county town.

Those ordinary wooden and stone houses and storehouses can be ignored—naturally Song Yun and the others will handle the looting and transport.

They are quick-handed and clear-headed; they won't miss a single room.

And they know what's valuable, what to take, and what to discard.

Zhao Chi, on the other hand, mainly looked at 2 locations.

The prison, and the lord's manor.

First, he came to the prison.

This county town has 3 large prisons; the outermost one is simply purgatory.
