Chapter 1800

But also very surprised.

Who would have thought the damage was actually this high?

Now that Tang Ruan isn't being piloted by Zhao Chi, she doesn't have that super-strong extra base constitution, and thus doesn't have that explosive life bonus.

Relying on her own ability, even adding the durability life of the Mystic Maiden Armor, she only has just over 20,000 HP.

Of course, Zhao Chi always felt that these 20,000 HP were already very strong, but he didn't expect the cumulative damage just now to actually reach 26,000 points?

Isn't that equivalent to wiping out all of Tang Ruan's HP once over?

This truly far exceeded Zhao Chi's expectations.

Tang Ruan had just looked like nothing was wrong, yet she had actually suffered such a fierce attack?

Isn't this far higher than the attack power of the Frenzied Ghouls?

Gu Qing heard Zhao Chi's inner thoughts.

So she said, "My lord, Frenzied Ghouls are after all close-combat enemies. Although they are extremely ferocious, at most only ten or so attack together. We naturally handle them more calmly, and it feels very easy."

Zhao Chi understood what Gu Qing wanted to say.

But he didn't interrupt.

Gu Qing continued, "And although Goblins are weak, they attack from range and can attack in groups of hundreds or thousands. Although their attacks are weak, there are too many of them. Stacked together, they are naturally far more powerful than the Ghouls' dozen or so attacks, and their burst capability is also much stronger."

Zhao Chi: "Yeah, it seems these Goblins really can't be underestimated."

Gu Qing: "Yes, enough ants can bite an elephant to death. Goblins win through numbers, which is the exact opposite of us."

Zhao Chi: "Mm, right."

Immediately after, Zhao Chi listened to the damage reports from the other female soldiers.

The giant Silk Clan female soldiers received an average of about 200 thrown spear attacks each, more than half less than Tang Ruan.

While the other female soldiers received about 15 attacks each, even fewer. It seems they really were protected very well.

Calculated this way, it's equivalent to having just received a total of 26,500 thrown spear attacks.

That's really quite a lot.

Moreover, the damage each thrown spear inflicts on the female soldiers will be more severe than on Tang Ruan. After all, Tang Ruan's talent combined with her martial arts ability gives her a very strong damage reduction effect; the other female soldiers don't have this ability.

But overall, the female soldiers also always kept their HP above 80%.

Because the Silk Clan female soldiers have healing body fluid effects, it's equivalent to recovering whenever they take damage; their HP never dropped below 90%.

But their body fluid consumption was considerable.

They had already drawn some of the moisture pre-stored in their undergarments.

Fortunately, the undergarments store a very large amount of water, with plenty of moisture available for use at any time and conversion into body fluid.

These undergarments really are quite good.

Just as he was thinking, the Goblin formation on the mountain began to shift.

Just as Gu Qing had said.

Those Goblins closed up and then split apart, dividing into three parts to surround them.

The middle group had the most, with 9 formations, roughly 18,000 Goblins.

The left and right sides each had 2 formations, 4,000 Goblins respectively.

Zhao Chi saw this scene and was very satisfied.

He didn't expect the main Goblin force in the middle to actually be this many, which fit his hopes perfectly.

It's easier to fight them when they're concentrated; if they split up it's somewhat troublesome and wastes too much time.

Perhaps Pang Hai saw the battle situation just now and also didn't dare let the central force be too few. After all, he had fully witnessed the scene of 4,000 Goblins turning to ash in an instant, so the central force had to be larger.

Zhao Chi looked up and saw that the distance from the enemy had already widened considerably; they had retreated enough.

Zhao Chi ordered: "Alright, everyone form up on the spot and await orders!"

"Yes!"

The female soldiers stopped, their stamina rapidly recovering.

At this moment, Zhao Chi suddenly heard some movement behind him.

He turned his head and saw a skeleton army entering here from his own territory.

The leader was a female lord.

She was raising her head, mouth agape, staring in astonishment at the Goblin army on the mountain.

An expression of utter shock mixed with bewilderment.

That must be the Ruan Yao reinforcements connected to Zhao Chi's territory.

However, the two sides were quite far apart.

Shouting to each other would be too much trouble.

Zhao Chi directly added Ruan Yao through the system and began a call.

Zhao Chi: "Ruan Yao, don't stay here, it's too dangerous. Either go west to Yuan Li's side, or retreat into my territory."

Of course, Zhao Chi wasn't considering Ruan Yao's safety; he just didn't want her getting in the way here.

Nor did he want her to see the situation on his side.

Ruan Yao: "R-really? Then I'll go. D-do you want to retreat first too? Let's all go to Yuan Li's side, and then come back together to fight the Goblins?"

Zhao Chi: "No need, hurry up and go, otherwise those Goblins will charge down."

That line was very effective.

Ruan Yao: "Ah? N-no way? I'm leaving right away, you be careful too!"

Soon, Ruan Yao's several thousand skeletons swiftly fled from the edge of the territory, entering Yuan Li's side without looking back.

Ruan Yao went far away.

The goblins on the mountain were getting closer and closer.

The moment had come.

Zhao Chi gave the order: "Form up in a Sharp Arrow formation — Tang Ruan at the front, the giant Silks soldiers lined up on either side in order, spearmen on the outside, the other soldiers on the inside. Form up!"

"Yes!"

Within seconds, the female soldiers had finished arranging themselves.

With this arrangement, Tang Ruan was at the very front, and behind her at an angle was an inverted V-shaped human wall formed by the giant Silks female soldiers, which could effectively protect the female soldiers behind and within the formation.

Moreover, with this setup, the healers of the Yishi team could also provide precise treatment, making it far more efficient.

It had to be said.

The momentum and pressure brought by 26,000 goblins was absolutely nothing like what 4,000 goblins could compare to.

Zhao Chi really felt that goblins covered the entire mountain.

Charging straight down the middle under these circumstances would absolutely face a very high density of thrown spears.

But charging straight into the central formation would also yield the highest killing efficiency.

As long as they could close in on the goblins, they would win.

Once the central army collapsed, the flanks would be child's play.

But this approach would certainly carry risks.

However, there was another tactic — attacking from the flanks.

The flanks only had 4,000 goblins; fighting them like before would be an easy victory, and then they could fight their way from the flanks all the way to the center.

But this approach would be slower.

Moreover, the goblins weren't stupid either — the enemy also had heroes and lords, and they would change formations too.

Then they might as well charge straight from the front.

"Zhao Chi, look!"

Zhuang Ya suddenly called out a loud warning.

Zhao Chi looked up.

He suddenly noticed that among the goblin army above, some white figures had appeared.

They looked familiar…

Those white figures quickly broke away from the goblin army and moved rapidly downward.

What the hell…

Naked female elves again?

Sure enough.

And this time there were even more of them — by the look of it, a full 1,800.
