Chapter 1758

~7 min read 1,269 words

This is Su Qin's main force.

Its killing power is no mean feat.

She also has 500 melee soldiers, composed of beastfolk and humans, all in iron armor, basically all Tier 2-3 warriors.

So what would the battle result look like?

Let's not even mention 3,000 Frenzied Ghouls — even if 500 came charging, could Su Qin's 500 melee soldiers hold them back?

After all, that's the equivalent of 500 fierce tigers.

But before engaging, Su Qin would definitely use Energy-Gathering Arrows + Power Shots to attack for several rounds first, and 500 Frenzied Ghouls would certainly suffer significant casualties.

After all, Su Qin's attacks of this kind can wipe out 1,000 Shi Laimu, so their power is indeed no mean feat.

But although the Energy-Gathering Arrow's power is great, it needs time to gather energy — that's why it's called the Energy-Gathering Arrow.

Shi Laimu are slow, equivalent to arrow targets — Su Qin has no problem wiping them out.

And Frenzied Ghouls really do charge madly.

After the Frenzied Ghouls rush into firing range, Su Qin probably only has 2-3 rounds of shooting time.

Then the Frenzied Ghouls will be charging right up to the formation.

During this period, perhaps 200-300 Frenzied Ghouls could be shot dead? After all, there are only 750 elves.

The remaining 200-300 Frenzied Ghouls attacking 500 melee soldiers would certainly be stalled for a moment, but those 500 melee soldiers definitely wouldn't survive — at least most of them wouldn't.

The elves seize the chance to keep shooting… killing another 100-200.

The remaining 100 Frenzied Ghouls charge 750 elves.

Although Frenzied Ghouls are fast, the elves aren't slow either — and they're all wearing the stockings and high heels Zhao Chi made, so they can definitely outrun Frenzied Ghouls.

If they shoot on the move while running… they could probably kill quite a few more.

But Frenzied Ghouls aren't stupid — their combat instincts are decent, and they would definitely surround and attack the elves, so the elves would definitely suffer considerable casualties too.

So… Su Qin going up against 500 Frenzied Ghouls should be roughly an even match.

If it's 600 Frenzied Ghouls, Su Qin would have a hard time winning.

So it's really not that Frenzied Ghouls are weak — it's that Zhao Chi is too strong.

And the enemy was very overconfident this time.

This is clearly evident.

If the enemy had waited for those 1,000 crossbow-wielding Spirit Healers to fight together, Zhao Chi would definitely have had a much harder fight.

Although in the first clash, all the Frenzied Ghouls were instantly killed.

But that was a special case — both sides were extremely fast, the Frenzied Ghouls' claws have short attack range, while the Moon-Chasing Spear and Phoenix-Cry Blade are both Chengying-type weapons with very long attack range.

So that strike, carrying both sides' massive speed bonuses, all landed on the Frenzied Ghouls.

Only then could they be instantly killed.

Later, when both sides were truly in close-quarters melee, the female soldiers also found it hard to instantly kill Frenzied Ghouls.

It took several strikes.

If those 1,000 Spirit Healers had been present, the wounded Frenzied Ghouls at this point wouldn't have died so quickly — they definitely could have held out much longer.

After all, those are Spirit Healers.

Their healing ability is beyond doubt.

Apart from healing, if their 1,000 crossbow bolts fired in a volley, it would also cause no small amount of damage to the female soldiers.

But there's no helping it.

Being overconfident is bringing it on oneself.

Zhao Chi just won.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi could finally confirm that he was probably already terrifyingly strong.

Against an enemy with 30,000 combat power he could achieve total victory — then what about an enemy of 50,000?

Can he fight them?

An enemy with 50,000 combat power would be roughly 5,000 Frenzied Ghouls plus 1,666 crossbow-wielding Spirit Healers? Plus 2 Lords and 12 Heroes?

Among them are 800 Claw Frenzied Ghouls and 20 Blade Frenzied Ghouls.

Can he win against this level?

Let's hypothesize again?

When hypothesizing, one must certainly try to think of the enemy as being as strong as possible — not think of them as weak.

Let the enemy perform at their proper strength.

This time the enemy would definitely charge together with 1,666 Spirit Healers and 5,000 Frenzied Ghouls.

Before engaging, Zhuang Ya's mage squad and the Spirit Healers exchange arrow fire.

Female soldiers wounded, no losses; Frenzied Ghouls wounded, no losses; Spirit Healers lose 100-200?

Then 5,000 Frenzied Ghouls charge in.

The female soldiers still meet them head-on.

The first charge kills 1,000 Frenzied Ghouls.

Then 4,000 Frenzied Ghouls and 1,500 Spirit Healers remain… this is when real melee combat begins.

At this point,

Zhao Chi's side has Gu Qing, 50 female healers, and 290 Silk Clan members who can all heal.

The enemy has 1,500 Spirit Healers healing.

Objectively speaking… the enemy's healing ability is still somewhat stronger, but the female soldiers all have pre-stored medicine from their underwear outfits to recover.

So recovery is roughly equal.

In terms of combat, 4,000 Frenzied Corpses against 890 melee female soldiers.

Roughly one female soldier against three to four Frenzied Corpses, plus one Claw Frenzied Corpse.

Seems a bit difficult...

Zhao Chi's heart leans heavily toward the female soldiers, but objectively speaking, they really can't win.

Roughly speaking, a female soldier's strength should be about on par with a Claw Frenzied Corpse — in a one-on-one she'd take serious injuries, but she should be able to win!

But if you add three to four Frenzied Corpses on top of that, it gets hard.

Fighting the same way as this time, they can't win.

They have to use more strength.

If he uses the Gigantification Art to strengthen the female soldiers, then fighting these Frenzied Corpses would definitely be no problem.

It's just that the Gigantification Art costs a lot — it needs 100 points of Spirit Energy, so it's impossible to make all the female soldiers grow.

He has to use Silver Moon Transformation.

If it's Silver Moon Transformation... it can add a 100% boost to their branched attributes — the spearmen can tank more, the sword soldiers can hit harder, and if they coordinate well, it feels like it should be about enough.

But Silver Moon Transformation only lasts 10 minutes, so the duration seems insufficient.

Then estimating with Silver Moon Transformation plus a large dose of Gigantification Art, it should be about right.

But it's still not a sure win.

He has to add another 500 points of Neutral Energy on top, to make the female soldiers even stronger.

At that point it seems like a sure thing.

So under these circumstances, Zhao Chi can defeat an enemy with 50,000 combat power.

However, there's still the tactical skill Tribe Summoning that hasn't been used.

If Tribe Summoning is used well, it will absolutely have a miraculous effect.

And he also hasn't factored in the powerful individual abilities of the four female heroes like Tang Ruan.

So Zhao Chi still has strength in reserve.

Although the reserve isn't much, it's still there.

Thinking this far, he can make a judgment.

If he goes all out, Zhao Chi can defeat an enemy with 50,000 combat power.

And he can ensure that his own side's losses aren't great.

But under these circumstances, wanting all the female soldiers to survive is probably not possible — there will definitely be some casualties.

Fortunately, they can all be revived.

And there's still one more factor.

Which is the Frenzied Corpses' own buffs.
