Chapter 1757

Their attack desire is extremely strong.

Their claws and teeth are incomparably sharp, truly reaching the strength of steel weapons.

One swipe, and several hundred HP evaporate on the spot.

An ordinary human soldier can only withstand about three hits.

One hit, shield sent flying.

One hit, armor broken.

One hit, death.

The Frenzied Corpse Demons' attacks are also extremely swift and fierce.

In this battle, the female soldiers actually held a great advantage.

In three clashes, the female soldiers won every time, and also killed over a thousand Frenzied Corpse Demons in a short time.

But the female soldiers were not unscathed either.

After a leaping strike, the moment they landed, they were swarmed by Frenzied Corpse Demons.

Both their shields and bodies were rapidly attacked.

The Frenzied Corpse Demons even struck at their weapons.

It was Zhao Chi's first time seeing someone slap a spear tip directly with their claws.

There are needles and nails in front—would you dare slap them barehanded?

The Frenzied Corpse Demons dare.

They even howl as they slap.

Although the result is certainly their claws getting pierced through, the spear tips really do go blunt! This all-out attack desire is truly powerful.

Besides spear tips, plenty of Frenzied Corpse Demons also furiously slapped at blade edges. If the female soldiers didn't all have the Fearless talent, they really would have been scared into a massive morale drop.

Some of the situation can also be seen through the settlement information.

This time, 317 Mystic Maiden Shields were scratched to pieces by the frenzied attacks—and those were extra-heavy Mystic Maiden Shields, with high durability and thorns damage reflection.

But the opponents were Frenzied Corpse Demons.

It's normal for so many to be scratched apart.

The remaining shields didn't break, but plenty still need repair.

After all, shields are defensive equipment—meant to be hit. All of this is acceptable.

But the weapon losses are truly the Frenzied Corpse Demons' handiwork!

Over a hundred weapons had large amounts of durability scraped off in a single Frenzied Corpse Demon strike—this is what was just mentioned: the Frenzied Corpse Demons charging straight at spear tips and blade edges, head-on.

They really do force their way through with frenzied strikes.

So this time the weapon losses aren't normal wear—most were banged and scratched apart by the Frenzied Corpse Demons.

The female soldiers' weapons are all extra-heavy weapons, with extremely high durability. Under normal use, they can last 3–5 battles without issue.

Even in extremely high-intensity combat, they can last 2 battles.

Yet now, over a hundred broke in just one battle.

Zhao Chi is a bit speechless.

Another 78 sets of Mystic Maiden Armor fused into the body were downgraded.

Equipment has a chance of being downgraded.

Every repair carries a certain probability of downgrade.

It depends on factors like the craftsman's skill and the extent of the equipment's damage, all working together.

So repairing equipment that's at 90% condition doesn't need much worry—generally it won't downgrade.

If durability is only around 10% left, repairing at that point carries a fairly high chance of downgrade.

And the female soldiers' Mystic Maiden Armor sets are all fused into their bodies, with durability converted into HP. In that case, healing can achieve the purpose of repair.

The healers of Yishi's team were also very active in this battle, healing nonstop throughout.

So the durability-HP of the Mystic Maiden Armor shouldn't have dropped too much.

After all, the moment it dropped, it was healed back up.

So the Mystic Maiden Armor shouldn't have downgraded either, since healing was so timely.

But the facts say otherwise.

In reality, 78 sets of Mystic Maiden Armor were downgraded…

This shows that the durability of those Mystic Maiden Armor sets was already very low at the time, about to damage the female soldiers' bodies directly.

The healers healed very actively, yet the Mystic Maiden Armor's durability still dropped to a very low level.

What does this represent?

It represents that those Frenzied Corpse Demons' attack power and attack speed are so strong that they could tank the healers' healing head-on and pound those Mystic Maiden Armor sets to near-breaking.

During battle, there's simply no time to attend to many things.

Only after post-battle summary and analysis can the situation be known.

And it's not over yet.

Downgrade is probabilistic.

So 78 sets downgrading means there are plenty more Mystic Maiden Armor sets that lost large amounts of durability without downgrading.

This further suggests the Frenzied Corpse Demons' attacks are truly very strong.

So it's no surprise that the experience for killing them is so high.

Frenzied Corpse Demons are truly very strong.

During the earlier battle, Zhao Chi noticed the Frenzied Corpse Demons came in various sizes, but didn't distinguish them too much.

GLOSSARY: 【Zhao Chi; Frenzied Corpse Demon; Mystic Maiden Shield; Mystic Maiden Armor; Yishi's Team】

He hadn't expected those Frenzied Ghouls to be divided into three tiers.

The common Frenzied Ghouls were the most numerous, about 2 meters tall, like skinned tigers or bears.

The Blade Frenzied Ghouls were a size larger, reaching 2.5–3 meters.

This was a very clear enhancement.

Back then the Blade Frenzied Ghouls were mixed in among the Frenzied Ghoul groups; Zhao Chi had thought they were just stronger individuals, not a separate equivalent tier.

Those that charged head-on against the spear tips and blades to fight the female soldiers were basically all Blade Frenzied Ghouls.

They were indeed much stronger than ordinary Frenzied Ghouls.

Fortunately there were only a few hundred of them.

The giant Frenzied Ghouls that Meng Meng and the others were riding were actually all Warblade Frenzied Ghouls, a size larger still, a full 3.5–4 meters — absolute behemoths.

But their numbers were very small, only 15.

Ghouls of this level hadn't actually been thrown into the battlefield at all; they were all lying low in the rear awaiting orders.

If they had entered the battlefield, the female soldiers definitely couldn't have held them off, and there might have been casualties.

If the number of these Warblade Frenzied Ghouls could reach 100, Zhao Chi would have to use his full strength.

This time, of course, Zhao Chi hadn't gone all out.

Otherwise the battlefield would have had 60 more giant female giants.

There was also the Silver Moon transformation, the clan summoning, the neutral berserk energy — all of those were still unused too.

Even under these circumstances, Zhao Chi still won.

And he won fairly easily.

The enemy was a county-level lord with 30,000 combat power.

What does this prove?

It proves Zhao Chi's strength has already far surpassed 30,000.

He's an existence who can crush 30,000 combat power.

But Zhao Chi didn't jump to a rash conclusion.

After all, this was somewhat hard to believe.

Meng Meng, this lord, had 30,000 combat power — that should be beyond question.

If it had been someone else who ran into Meng Meng, how would it have gone?

Suppose it was Su Qin who encountered these Frenzied Ghouls — what would have happened?

Zhao Chi knew that Su Qin currently had a total of 1,250 soldiers.

Among them, 750 were female elf archers, all in leather armor, military tier between Tier One and Tier Four.

Veterans were the mainstay, with relatively few new recruits.
