Chapter 1793

Zhao Chi was still shaken.

He hurriedly checked the soldier list. Fortunately, the female soldiers had only been injured, not killed.

Zhao Chi ordered: "Halt the advance, regroup on the spot, report your injuries just now! I need to confirm the blast power of the other side."

"Yes!"

"I just lost 460 HP."

"I took 770."

"I was in the second row, so I was hurt less—only 88 points."

"I was in the front row just now, blown up by three female elves together. I had a shield in front, but couldn't block from the oblique front, and took 1100 damage."

"Same here, I took 1200 damage."

"529 for me."

"I took 3375 damage—a clump of female elves rushed in, I don't even know how many."

The female soldiers all talked at once.

Gu Qing 【my lord, roughly speaking, the damage from one female elf explosion averages around 500. And the closer the distance, the higher the damage; the blast radius is about 3-5 meters. Of course, the data may vary】

Zhao Chi 【Understood...】

Zhao Chi was somewhat angry.

Deaths in war were common.

He counted himself as "battle-hardened," killing without blinking, yet he still felt some anger.

Not only because his own side had been attacked, but also because the enemy had used those female elves in such a way.

Am I being too soft-hearted?

Tang Ruan wiped the flesh and blood off her body, her expression complicated: "The enemy lord actually turned the female elves into... blast bombs?"

Zhuang Ya gritted her teeth: "Damn it... Zhao Chi, let's not hold back—slaughter every last one of those goblins!"

Qi Yue silently gazed at the shallow red crater on the ground, saying nothing.

Gu Qing consoled Zhao Chi, "My lord, you needn't think that way. You are not soft-hearted. You are merciful, compassionate, full of feeling. I share your thoughts, because my feelings are the same as yours, even though I am also a woman."

Zhao Chi 【Is that so... thank you, Gu Qing】

Gu Qing 【No need to thank me. But if you also held mercy and compassion toward those evil ones, believing they were shaped by their environment yet still forgivable—that would be soft-heartedness. From my observation, you are not that kind of person, so there's no need to worry】

Zhao Chi 【Mm, understood】

Zhao Chi silently watched the female soldiers reform their ranks, saying nothing more.

Pang Hai also said nothing.

He stood on the hill, his brows furrowed tightly together.

Instead, Pang Lei beside him blurted out in astonishment: "Not dead? How are those female soldiers on the other side not dead? Does the Enlargement Art boost that much HP?"

Shi Zhe said in a low voice: "It's not a problem with the Enlargement Art. Look at those enemy soldiers down the mountain who didn't grow larger—they didn't die either."

Mu Na turned her head and asked: "Shi Zhe, is it because you made them move too fast, affecting the explosion?"

Shi Zhe said: "Bullshit, what does speed have to do with explosions? I've done it countless times and never had a problem. It's the enemy's issue—probably those strange silk threads. I saw those threads block a lot of the blast damage."

"A problem with the silk threads?" Mu Na scoffed: "Didn't you see the silk threads were all blown apart?"

Shi Zhe said: "Then it's the enemy's own problem. Don't pin it on me."

Pang Lei turned and asked: "Brother, could that Zhao Chi have some Return-from-Death type skill that lets him survive one lethal blow?"

Pang Hai shook his head: "I don't know... It seems that Zhao Chi is no simple matter. I thought he'd connected to the wrong person—after all, he only has 2000 combat power, yet dares to connect with us. Isn't that insane? Now it looks like he came looking for trouble on purpose?"

Pang Lei said: "No problem, brother. Just have the Vanguard Commander goblins fire a few rounds and we'll know what he's made of."

Pang Hai nodded: "Fine, blow the horn, send them in directly. You lot get back in formation too. First wipe out this Zhao Chi and Li Ruanyu's reinforcements, then urgently rescue Bai Jiao. We still don't know how many reinforcements Li Ruanyu sent—everyone move fast."

"Yes!"

The heroes waved their hands, and several wing-bats flew over from the sky.

Carrying these heroes, they swiftly departed.

Immediately after, sharp blasts of beast horns rang out.

The goblins in the middle, already arranged in a horizontal line, immediately crouched down, raising their charge speed with whoops and shouts.

They did not switch to the secondary weapons at their waists, still raising their variously colored throwing spears as they charged down.

It seemed their first choice was still the throwing spear.

The over twenty thousand goblins in more than a dozen square formations nearby were also closing in. Though still some distance away, they would arrive in ten-odd minutes.

Zhao Chi ordered: "Everyone finish this fast—first smash those 4000 goblins ahead. Kill on sight—no mercy!"

"Yes!"

Tang Ruan charged at the forefront.

"Everyone follow me! Get ready—at the signal, use Flying Spike directly, one-hit kill!"

"Understood!"

The female spearmen charged to the front line again, following Tang Ruan in a full-speed assault.

Long legs kicked rapidly, tender pink feet stomping hard in high heels, kicking up clouds of dust from the ground. The female soldiers behind could only half-hold their breath, inhaling dust as they advanced.

The distance between the two sides reached 300 meters.

The goblins had already stopped.

They raised their variously colored javelins high, aiming at Tang Ruan and the female spearmen.

A hero on the hill rode a wing-bat down, landing steadily behind the goblin formation—it was Pang Hai's subordinate hero, Xie Lang.

Immediately after, the wing-bat flew away.

Light blazed from Xie Lang's body—unclear what spiritual technique he was using.

Zhao Chi frowned.

No matter what skills the other side used, they were surely buffing the goblins.

He had wanted to have everyone use Silver Moon Transformation, but held back.

It wasn't the time yet.

After all, although Silver Moon Transformation was strong, it only lasted 10 minutes.

He'd wait until the goblin horde behind caught up before using it.

But for now, he could buff Tang Ruan alone.

"Tang Ruan, hold on, I'm going to buff you."

"Yes, my lord, I'm ready!"

Two streams of Blissful Berserk energy activated.

Tang Ruan's steps faltered for an instant, but she adjusted at once, biting her lip and screaming: "C… charge, everyone, chargeee ahhhh~~"

The female soldiers behind her were infected by her fierce fighting spirit and all shouted together: "Charge charge charge ahhh~~"

Tang Ruan's face reddened a little.

She simply couldn't endure the surging impact, so she turned her scream into a battle cry.

But why had the female gunners learned to shout along with her?

Still, theirs sounded far more normal, unlike Tang Ruan's, which carried a hint of shy bashfulness.

But the enemy was right before them.

She had no time to think about anything else.

Tang Ruan focused her attention and kept charging.

The two sides were 200 meters apart.

Xie Lang shouted from behind the goblin ranks: "Did you see that? The ones down the mountain are all female soldiers — pick up your spirits! If we beat them, we'll have new toys!"

"Ooooh!!"

The goblins had noticed long ago.

Especially the enlarged female soldiers and female hero — they could see them clearly.

Those beautiful faces raised the morale of the 4,000 goblins considerably.

They excitedly licked their lips, their eyes roving wildly over the female soldiers' bodies.

Unfortunately, although the female soldiers wore fashion-style outfits, they were wrapped up tightly — the key spots were impossible to see.

Even so.

Their beautiful faces and graceful figures still thrilled the goblins immensely.

Zhao Chi cursed inwardly.
