Chapter 1792

Is that so?

There is indeed such a possibility.

Many lords, when fighting, will send captives or slaves charging first, using their bodies to form the first wall, absorbing the enemy's ranged damage and covering the soldiers behind as they rush the enemy.

Especially since some lords will drive enemy captives to serve as human shields, even including enemy lords or their relatives.

For morally indifferent lords this of course has little effect, but this world has too many lords, and those who can remain calm or even cold-blooded are ultimately a minority; many lords still maintain a basic moral bottom line.

Especially when they see that what is being forced to charge toward them is a former comrade-in-arms, or even a family member, lover, or friend.

Most people would at least hesitate.

In that case, it really would have some effect.

But now it doesn't seem to be the case.

Zhao Chi is also very conflicted.

Based on what he's seen so far, those female elves really are all victims.

And extremely fragile.

But precisely because of this, it makes them even stranger.

The enemy is a county-level lord, and a lord with 50,000 combat power at that — definitely no ordinary person.

One could say he is the strongest-combat-power opponent Zhao Chi has faced so far.

Absolutely cannot underestimate the enemy.

And the state of those female elves… death would actually be a release.

Using Gu Qing's mouth, Zhao Chi said: "Zhuang Ya, you all keep firing, don't bother with those elves anymore. From the look of it they're not here to seek rescue — there's definitely something strange. Hit them as much as you can, let them find release."

Zhuang Ya nodded: "Understood! Sisters, keep firing! Everyone aim true, help them be reborn soon."

The female mages: "Yes!"

The female mages' fireballs kept coming.

Unfortunately the enemy female elves' evasion was too high; the hit rate rose a bit as the distance closed, but still wasn't that high.

Zhao Chi continued to give orders: "Gu Qing, cast Cleansing Body Technique on everyone in advance."

Using her own mouth, Gu Qing said: "Can't, not enough spiritual power. But once everyone is affected by the skill, I can immediately use the Cleansing Body Technique to remove it."

Zhao Chi said: "Fine. Silk Tribe, pay attention — aim at the targets as much as possible, wrap them up completely."

"Understood!"

The palms of the Silk Tribe female soldiers swelled; each one was ready to spray silk.

At the same time they pulled their shirts out from their skirts, exposing their small navels — Gu Qing already taught them the method of expelling sprayed silk through the navel.

They also kept accumulating saliva in their mouths, soon to all be converted into silk pulp and fired out.

The female elves were already within 50 meters.

Of the 400 female elves, only just over 100 had been killed by fireballs; nearly 300 were still charging madly.

Their bellies grew larger and larger, yet their charging speed increased a bit more.

The two sides rapidly closed the distance.

Just a few seconds later, the nearly 300 female elves had already entered the 20-meter range.

By now their bellies had grown absurdly huge, their eyes had all rolled back showing only the whites, yet their expressions remained ferocious.

"Spray silk!!"

Before Gu Qing's words had even fallen, the sound of four lines erupting immediately rang out.

Pff Pff Pff!

290 Silk Tribe female soldiers sprayed out a tide of silk together.

Red, white, yellow threads surged like waves of silk, intertwining, rolling, rushing forward.

Sticky Sticky Sticky!

The female elves were instantly stuck by the red silk, as if dressed in a layer of skin-tight silk dresses.

However, those female elves' speed was really too fast, and the silk threads had great elasticity — the female elves still charged right up to them.

"Raise shields and hold, keep spraying silk, try to wrap them up completely!" Gu Qing ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

The front-row Silk Tribe female soldiers pressed their shields in front of their bodies, ready to receive the impact.

Especially those 60 giant Silk Tribe female soldiers — they were simply like walls.

However, the impact did not come.

Although those female elves had their bodies wrapped in silk threads, their bellies kept growing larger and larger, already stretching the silk threads fully open.

Before they even hit the female soldiers' shields, they exploded.

Exploded?

Through Gu Qing's pupils, using the slow-motion of dynamic vision, Zhao Chi saw the female elves suddenly swell up like balloons being inflated.

Bai Xi skin tore open.

Pink muscle shattered.

Red fresh blood gushed out.

White bone fragments flew

One pitiful female elf was completely turned into a pile of minced meat.

Boom Boom Boom!

The enormous explosion sound instantly assailed the eardrums.

Zhao Chi and Gu Qing's hearing was extremely sensitive; such a deafening explosion at point-blank range was simply torture, making her ears hurt terribly.

The next instant, a violent blast of air surged forth.

Zhao Chi felt an extremely powerful storm slam into his body, carrying gravel, bone fragments, and bits of flesh that drilled into his mouth, nose, eyes, and hair.

He could barely breathe.

The smell of blood was everywhere.

Red blood mist and dirt drifted through the air, swirling among the threads that filled the sky, merging into one.

"Ah ya!"

"Hgh—!"

"Wah~~!"

"Ouch, look out!"

The silk-tribe female soldiers in the front ranks staggered every which way.

Nearly a hundred female soldiers were blasted into the air, blasted to the ground.

The extremely heavy shields in their hands were dented and warped by the blast, and the hammer handles were bent.

Many weapons flew from their hands and struck the heads of the female soldiers behind them, producing crisp, dull thuds.

The enlarged silk-tribe female soldiers were also blasted back several steps, kicking the soldiers behind them. Some were flipped over and crushed several of the soldiers behind them.

For a moment, it was truly people and horses tumbling everywhere.

The entire female soldier front line was blasted apart.

This was the first time it had ever happened.

Even Zhao Chi was shaken.

But he quickly gave the order: "Gu Qing, Yishi, heal quickly! How is everyone?"

At the same time as the order, Gu Qing already used the healing technique.

The female healers in the rear also lit up their hands, and a great amount of healing light descended.

The female soldiers rapidly recovered.

But once they came to their senses, they were all utterly astonished.

The silk-tribe female soldiers in the front ranks were covered all over in red blood plasma and shredded flesh, with blasted silk threads stuck to their bodies.

Ahead were shallow craters left by the explosions.

In every crater, there was a large amount of red powder.

Looking around again.

Not a single female elf could be seen.

They had all been reduced to dust.

"Damn…"
