Chapter 1799

~7 min read 1,318 words

"I'm flying~ Ahhh!"

The female soldiers charged wildly in every direction.

The goblin formation was instantly smashed open with huge gaps.

Like a perfect set of teeth having the front teeth knocked out.

Over a thousand goblins were killed on impact.

Corpses flew everywhere.

Helmets, gauntlets, shields, javelins, weapons—scattered all over the ground.

The female soldiers were covered in blood from head to toe.

"Waaa, run!"

"No more fight, guu!"

"Waaah, run fast!"

The remaining goblins broke formation instantly, scattering in all directions.

But no matter how fast their little short legs ran, the speed looked absurdly slow to the female soldiers.

60 giant female soldiers chased wildly across the entire field.

The 60 pairs of soft, smooth, long legs that were once so lovable you could play with them for ten years had now turned into massive wrecking balls.

There was no need to deliberately kick; the momentum generated just from normal running alone was enough to kick these goblins to death in one strike.

After all, the kicking bonus from the high heels applied to every movement of the feet.

Not just kicking—even stomping, friction, and trampling all triggered that +200% kick effect.

Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya were both masters of using their feet.

Even someone as strong as Zhao Chi with 10 Constitution couldn't last long under their feet before spurting everywhere.

Now the goblins couldn't even survive a single stomp before becoming flat goblin meat patties.

And the remaining 900-plus female soldiers quickly threaded through the gaps between the long legs, killing goblins with no problem at all, even when they wore iron armor.

Goblins approached at close range were as fragile as bean sprouts, with absolutely no capacity to resist against these female soldiers.

By normal standards, this already counted as a slaughter.

If not for what those female elves had done earlier, Zhao Chi might have considered taking prisoners.

But now there was no need.

These wretches were better off dead.

Pang Hai watched the goblin hell below from the mountain, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

He immediately said to the goblin soldier beside him: "Quick, send the signal, get every squad to come over. Forget about Li Ruanyu's reinforcements and the other lords for now—everyone come wipe out these women. What the hell is going on?"

"Okay gu!"

He beckoned and called over a wing bat.

Pang Hai immediately mounted it: "Fly up. Those women are too fast—carry me farther away."

"Gaa~"

The wing bat took to the air.

Pang Hai flew to the mountaintop.

Another blast of the beast horn sounded.

The goblin formations that had been charging down the mountain all changed direction, surrounding toward Zhao Chi's army.

26,000 goblins running kicked up massive clouds of dust.

Seen from afar, it looked like a wall of grayish-yellow mist had appeared.

Combined with the gravel and clods of dirt kicked up by the goblins' running, the entire hillside seemed to spawn a dry mudslide, sweeping toward the female soldiers.

Yet the female soldiers stood firm like bridge piers in a stream, completely unaffected as massive amounts of rubble poured down.

Zhao Chi narrowed his eyes, looking toward the mountain.

The goblin army was attacking in a pincer from both the left and right.

Like a massive goose-wing formation.

Zhao Chi thought briefly, then ordered: "Everyone, retreat down the mountain immediately."

Retreat?

The female soldiers all looked over.

All somewhat puzzled.

Zhao Chi had always led them into battle with straightforward, ferociously aggressive tactics.

Why retreat today?

Zhao Chi continued: "Retreat slowly down the mountain immediately, and recover your stamina along the way."

Two consecutive orders, both calling for a temporary retreat.

The female soldiers no longer hesitated, turning around at once.

Although the few female heroes were also very puzzled, they didn't ask questions, instead strictly executing the order.

After actually clashing head-on with the goblins, they already had a rough judgment in their hearts.

These goblins' ranged capabilities really were quite good.

After all, they couldn't be compared to the female soldiers who had over a dozen genes improved—they had to be compared to other ranged attackers of the same tier. By that standard, their ranged ability was absolutely worthy of being called excellent.

Of course, their melee capability was terrible.

Only Tier Three or above goblins had passable melee ability.

But in front of the female soldiers, they were still as fragile as bugs.

GLOSSARY:

【Zhao Chi, Li Ruanyu, Gu Qing, Zhuang Ya, Pang Hai, Tier Three】

As long as he gets close, victory is certain.

Gu Qing let Zhao Chi control her body, but after a moment's thought, she decided to ask Zhao Chi's opinion anyway.

After all, telepathic communication doesn't waste time.

Gu Qing 【My lord, should we fall back first and wait for the goblin horde to bunch up?】

Zhao Chi 【Yes, let them gather toward the center a bit. If they're too scattered, it'll be hard to fight.】

Gu Qing 【Understood. But there are so many enemies — they definitely won't all charge from the front. They'll definitely try to surround us from all sides too.】

Zhao Chi 【It doesn't matter. Even though their numbers are great, there's only one lord. See that person sitting on the wing bat? That's the lord.】

Gu Qing 【I see him.】

Zhao Chi 【In a bit, we'll just charge straight at him. Once we take him out, the rest is only a matter of time.】

Gu Qing 【But they have wing bats. Should we have Zhuang Ya use fireballs to shoot them down?】

Zhao Chi 【Wing bats have limited flight ability — they can't fly fast for long. And when we run at full speed, we're not much slower than wing bats. Tang Ruan can also use Taunt to draw the wing bats, and you can use Wind Control or Water Condensation to affect them. We have plenty of ways to deal with it.】

Gu Qing 【Understood. My lord, you truly are resourceful and brave.】

Resourceful and brave…

Hearing those words, Zhao Chi felt a little guilty.

His tactics were nothing but a hack's work — they had absolutely nothing to do with being resourceful. Zhao Chi still had that much self-awareness.

But Gu Qing said it so naturally, and her tone was even doting.

This could be considered a case of "beauty in the eyes of the lover."

If that's how it is, Zhao Chi accepts her feelings.

But Zhao Chi didn't stay idle. Instead, he asked, "Everyone, report your injuries just now. I need to assess the goblin formation's damage output."

"Yes!"

Tang Ruan spoke first: "Just now, I took roughly 500 thrown spear attacks in total, accumulating about 26,000 damage. But thanks to the sisters' timely healing and my own recovery, my HP never dropped below 80%."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Report abnormal statuses too."

Tang Ruan said:

"About 122 paralysis stacks in total — that's 122 seconds of cumulative paralysis across various body parts. I was completely unable to move for 11 seconds; the rest was partial paralysis, where I could barely still control my body.

"About 131 burn stacks in total. The highest overlap was 54 times, which shaved off roughly 470 HP per second. Defense reduction from burns across my whole body averaged around 43%, with the highest single overlap cutting defense by 124% — the location was… my chest.

"About 126 poison stacks in total. The highest overlap was 50 times, reducing HP by over 1,100 per second at peak.

"About 121 freeze stacks in total. The highest overlap was 43 times. Stamina recovery was reduced by up to 184%, movement speed by up to about 116%, and attack speed by up to about 129%.

"Paralysis lasts about 1 second — mostly partial paralysis, but occasionally it becomes full-body paralysis.

"Burns, poison, and freeze generally last 3-5 seconds, then recover quickly."

Zhao Chi listened and understood perfectly.
