Chapter 1753

Zhao Chi 【Right, why are you repeating what I said?】

Wei Li 【Is it the Frenzied Ghoul with 24 base attribute points?】

Zhao Chi 【Yes!】

Wei Li 【You caught them all?】

Zhao Chi 【Yeah】

Wei Li 【You… they're so strong, how did you catch them?】

Zhao Chi 【Just tell me if you want them! Don't worry about the rest!】

Wei Li 【Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your… I'm just too shocked. I want them, I want all of them, how much are you selling them for?】

Zhao Chi 【I don't know the market price, just give me whatever you think is fair】

Wei Li 【Then… I'll price the Frenzied Ghouls at 1 gold coin each, the Blade-types at 2 gold coins, and the War Blades at 4 gold coins. Is that alright?】

Zhao Chi 【Fine, come take them away in a bit】

Wei Li 【I don't have that much money on me right now, can you hold them for me? I'll go back to my clan and borrow the money. Can you wait one day for me? No! Half a day is enough!】

Zhao Chi 【No worries, just take them away first. I find this kind of Frenzied Ghoul really disgusting. You can give me the money later】

According to Wei Li's offer, the total came to 1,020 gold coins.

For a lord of Wei Li's level, it was indeed more than she could afford.

It was quite a huge sum.

But for Zhao Chi, gold coins at this level had truly lost all impact.

Even if Wei Li cheated Zhao Chi, Zhao Chi wouldn't be at a loss.

First, he could definitely recover the money.

As long as the Wei family hadn't left the World-Breaking Army, Zhao Chi could get the money back.

On the other hand, it would also let him see Wei Li's true character.

In any case, no loss.

Although the Frenzied Ghouls were strong, they were truly useless to Zhao Chi.

After all, no matter how strong they were, they weren't as strong as his female soldiers.

Why use those ugly, disgusting Frenzied Ghouls when he had those sweet, soft, beautiful female soldiers?

He didn't want any of them.

Wei Li 【Can I take them away first? Is that really okay?】

Zhao Chi 【Why are you asking me again? What I say counts, stop making me repeat myself!】

Wei Li 【Sorry, I understand. Thank you for your trust, it really surprises me. Even though you're so cold to me, I know you're actually really good to me】

What the heck?

Trust? Being good to her?

Wei Li sure does like to make things up.

And… when was I cold to Wei Li?

When?

Let me think…

It seemed that was really the case…

Zhao Chi suddenly realized that he really did seem to have some impatience toward her.

Was it the aftereffect and side effect of what happened before?

There was really no need for it.

That matter was already in the past, just treat her normally from now on.

Zhao Chi softened his tone 【You're welcome】

Wei Li 【Hehe, why has your tone gotten so gentle? I didn't say you were bad to me. Um… you don't like Frenzied Ghouls and Ghouls, right? You find them smelly and disgusting?】

Her heart was quite sensitive too. The moment Zhao Chi changed his tone, she could actually feel it?

Was it that obvious?

Zhao Chi 【Mm, a little】

Wei Li 【…Oh, then… do you also find me smelly and disgusting?】

Zhao Chi 【Huh? No】

Wei Li 【That's good… Although my race is Ghoul, I rarely come into contact with them. I just give orders and command them. And I bathe every day, change all my clothes daily, I really do like being clean. You shouldn't have smelled any bad odor from me, right?】

Zhao Chi 【Mm, no】

Wei Li 【That's good… But Ghouls are really useful. You don't invest feelings in them, so you don't feel heartache when they die. And my whole clan uses Ghouls. I actually wanted to use clean, beautiful Elves like Senior Sister Su Qin, but there's no helping it…】

Zhao Chi 【It's fine, these are all small matters. Ghouls have their own advantages. Don't feel pressured. Come over to collect them after the battle ends, bring more people】

Wei Li 【Okay~!】

Another few dozen minutes passed.

Zhao Chi received a flood of information from the system.

Battle settlement information.

This meant all the battles were over.

It was still quite fast.

Normally, wars between high-level lords could last a very long time.

But this one clearly ended very quickly.

The other side had a state-level lord, but they probably failed quickly under Li Ruanyu and the others' relentless bombardment.

After all, this was only a blocking action against the Skyking Army's reinforcements; there were other battles afterward, and they couldn't drag it out too long.

They had to fight fast and win fast.

Otherwise, variables would appear.

Suddenly, Zhao Chi felt another faint ringing in his ears.

Just like a few hours ago.

It was probably Li Ruanyu restricting communications again.

Now Zhao Chi and all the lords' territory connection points had been moved out, so Li Ruanyu could still do this very easily.

Immediately after, Li Ruanyu's voice came through.

This time it wasn't sent to one person, but to everyone.

Li Ruanyu:

【We've won!】

【They're basically all great victories!】

【Everyone reorganize your troops as quickly as possible. Speed up healing and repairs. We're heading to the next position soon, so everyone get ready for battle】

【The next battle is still an advantageous one, don't worry】

【This time I saw several hundred lords didn't manage to grab an enemy, right? Next time be quicker, stop hesitating. Now is not the time to be picky about the enemy's race and combat power】

【When you see an enemy you're confident you can beat, match quickly, or someone else will snatch it】

【But it doesn't matter, this battle was originally an extra one we fought for. Lords who didn't grab one, don't feel regret. There's still a chance in the next battle】

【The next battle is an offensive one】

【The target is Nangu Village】

【Three squadrons — "Nangu Squadron," "Xiliu Squadron," and "Biyu Squadron" — will lead the assault. "Beiliu Squadron" is responsible for outer perimeter security and blocking】

【We've already wiped out the enemy's reinforcements, so the enemy forces in Nangu Village will be weaker】

【Village-level formation effects only last 10-30 minutes. We've measured Nangu Village's energy density; it's estimated to only hold for about 15 minutes. That isn't long】

【So we'll only be locked down for about 15 minutes. Everyone be mentally prepared】

【Once the battle starts, several hundred of our lords will be matched away by the enemy. What you need to do is confirm the strength comparison between both sides immediately】

【However… anyone who can actively match you is a lord stronger than you. Basically no weak lord will match you】

【But don't panic. Send out a distress signal immediately】

【Then take active defense and harassment, delay the enemy. As long as you hold out for 15 minutes, teammates will be able to come support you. Normally speaking, holding out for 15 minutes is easy】

【Everyone's communications are still temporarily shut off by me. On the eve of war, don't contact the outside. This is to protect you. But you can still communicate with each other】

【The next battle is expected in 30 minutes. Everyone get ready】

【I know some lords need time to rest and reorganize, but there's no choice. We have to stay ahead of the clock now】
