Chapter 1766

He could only wait a few more seconds.

This time, the one who took the initiative to attack was a town-level lord; judging by the name… it should be a female lord.

It was an Elf with 3,486 combat power.

3,486 points of combat power?

Wouldn't fighting her be like child's play?

Zhao Chi also understood that the combat power he displayed outwardly was 2,094 points, and the opponent's combat power was 66% higher than his.

This kind of strength comparison was indeed very advantageous. According to the numbers, although the opponent wasn't guaranteed to win, the probability of victory was very high, basically no problem.

Unfortunately, she had run into Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi immediately gave the order:

"The opponent is an Elf, with a combat power of 3,486 points.

"Later, do not use weapons; capture them all.

"This time, use the Silkworm-tribe female soldiers as the main force. When you see Elves, spray silk; try to capture them alive.

"However, if you accidentally kill the opponent by mistake, it doesn't matter. If the enemy dies, they die. I don't care. Don't feel psychological pressure. Your own safety is still the priority.

"Everyone fight a quick battle to force a swift resolution. We might immediately follow up by fighting a very strong lord. Don't delay too long.

"Understood?"

The female soldiers answered without hesitation: "Yes!!"

The next moment.

A muffled rumbling sound came from the southwest.

Zhao Chi burrowed into Gu Qing's body.

This time, he didn't even need to use Inspire; he only needed to buff the Bitter Wind Steps on all his subordinates.

"Everyone, set out. Fight a quick battle to force a swift resolution."

"Understood!!!"

A group of female soldiers charged toward the southwest like fierce tigers descending the mountain.

Zhao Chi handed over command authority to Gu Qing. He opened the system inside Gu Qing's body to check the battle situations of the others.

At this time, various distress messages had already appeared.

【Distress: Battlefield 1】

【Friendly: Town-level Lord: Zhao Lu, Human, Combat Power 5068】

【Enemy: County-level Lord: Lu Kuang, Skeleton, Combat Power 8712】

Zhao Lu was Zhao Chi's elder sister from the same clan.

She was a bit older than Zhao Chi. The two of them weren't very close, but they could still get along.

A Skeleton with 8,712 combat power fighting against her—holding out for 15 minutes was definitely no problem.

【Distress: Battlefield 19】

【Friendly: Village-level Lord: Yang Xiong, Beastfolk, Combat Power 801】

【Enemy: Town-level Lord: Li Mo, Human, Combat Power 1512】

【Enemy: Village-level Lord: Liao Yuan, Goblin, Combat Power 466】

Yang Xiong was in a bit of danger.

The two opposing lords had more than twice his combat power. Moreover, the territories of both the village-level lord and the town-level lord weren't large. With a forced march, it was estimated that contact with the enemy would occur in about 8 minutes.

If Yang Xiong held his ground and didn't come out, using the terrain to entangle with the opponent, there should still be no problem.

Similarly, no big problem.

【Distress: Battlefield 76】

【Friendly: Village-level Lord: Lu Yi, Elf, Combat Power 933】

【Enemy: Town-level Lord: Wang Ting, Elf, Combat Power 2612】

Lu Yi didn't need to worry.

The opponent's combat power was very high, but what Elves were best at was still shooting.

If both sides shot at each other, they would only need one shield to defend for a long time.

Moreover, Lu Yi only needed to hide inside the buildings in her territory.

Completely no problem.

Zhao Chi searched for a few more lords he cared about.

Basically, the ones they encountered were enemies 1-3 times stronger than themselves. At most, they would lose some soldiers, but holding out for a period of time was definitely possible.

But he didn't see Li Ruanyu and Su Qin.

That meant the two of them hadn't been selected by the enemy.

Li Ruanyu was very strong, so it was indeed unlikely that anyone would actively choose her. But why hadn't anyone chosen Su Qin either?

Could it be luck?

The Breaking World Army had more people on this side; the Heavenly King Army really couldn't match everyone.

Just as he was thinking, the system suddenly received two messages in succession.

Su Qin 【Zhao Chi, how's it going on your end? Were you selected by the enemy?】

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi, I didn't see your distress message. No enemy matched you, right?】

Zhao Chi replied to Su Qin 【An enemy did select me, but they're very weak. You don't need to worry about me. How about you?】

Su Qin 【Mm, I knew you'd definitely be fine. I just wanted to ask about your situation. No one has matched me yet. If you don't need my help, then I'll go support the others later】

Zhao Chi 【Good, go ahead and support the others. I see Xiang Yuan and the others have all been selected】

Su Qin: "Okay."

Zhao Chi replied to Li Ruanyu: "Don't worry, sis. A really weak enemy got matched with me, but it's no problem at all."

Li Ruanyu: "Really? Don't push yourself. I've got your back no matter what."

Zhao Chi: "I'm not pushing myself. Just relax."

Li Ruanyu: "Alright. If you need anything, come find me anytime. I can definitely split off troops to help you."

Zhao Chi: "Mm, okay."

Closed the chat window.

His attention returned to his own battlefield.

In the distance, beyond the opened Mist Wall, a dense forest could already be seen.

The opposing lord, Zuo Yan, was of the Elven race and indeed loved trees — for elves, trees were natural defensive towers.

Elves were slender and light.

Combined with their high agility, they could leap nimbly from tree to tree.

But it didn't matter.

In just two minutes, all of Zhao Chi's female soldiers had charged into the enemy's territory.

Their speed did not slow.

After another few seconds, they had all charged into the forest.

Most of the trees inside were poplars — straight and tall. The lower branches and leaves had been deliberately pruned, so standing on the branches wouldn't obstruct the view below.

These were practically natural defensive towers, each one different.

This really was the enemy's home turf.

However…

The female soldiers' terrain adaptability was absurdly high, and with their Leaper gene, any place was their home turf.

These trees only needed a light hop to get up, and while moving among them couldn't exactly be called "flat ground," it had zero impact.

The group wove through the forest.

Another half minute passed.

A group of female elves suddenly darted out from the other side of the forest.

The ones in front wore full iron armor and carried iron shields and iron swords.

The ones behind all carried longbows and wore leather armor.

Their formation was scattered — clearly they were on the move and hadn't yet begun to array themselves.

Which was only natural.

In Zuo Yan's view, running into Zhao Chi in a place like this was simply impossible.
