Chapter 1813

Bao Chenfeng 【Strongest? Isn't there still Shangguan Ting? If we're only talking about combat power... she seems a bit stronger?】

Yuan Meng 【Bao Chenfeng, if you can't speak properly then don't speak at all】

Bao Chenfeng 【I didn't mean anything else, I'm just stating facts. After all, in the recent rankings between the squadrons, the Phantom Squadron has always been first...】

Yuan Meng 【Fine, Zhao Chi, go tell Captain Li what Bao Chenfeng just said, let her hear it too】

Bao Chenfeng 【Holy crap, that's not what I meant! I also think Captain Li is the strongest. Zhao Chi, that's what I think too】

Zhao Chi 【... You guys are done over there too? Got time to chat?】

Yuan Li 【Not done yet, still exchanging fire with the enemy, wearing each other down. Their elves have pretty strong ranged ability, but they're still outnumbered by us, and their recovery isn't as good as ours either. A few more volleys and the other side will be about done. Soon Ding Hong's stone-men can charge in】

Gu Yan 【I'm heading back now, I'll join the assault in a bit too】

Yuan Li 【All good, everyone come on over. Zhao Chi, if you're willing you can come too, earning more contribution points wouldn't hurt】

That good?

They're actually willing to let others share in the combat contribution?

Zhao Chi certainly wouldn't be that naive.

Yuan Li is probably trying to use Zhao Chi's connection to curry favor with Li Ruanyu.

But there's no need for that.

Zhao Chi isn't short on that little bit either.

He had single-handedly beaten Pang Hai, the main force of this battlefield with 50,000 combat power. The remaining Bai Jiao with 35,000 combat power — there's no need for him to step in.

Zhao Chi 【No need, my soldiers here are all exhausted, they need to rest for a bit, and we'll clean up the battlefield while we're at it】

Yuan Li 【Oh oh oh, got it. Then let's pick up the pace too. Gu Yan, Ding Hong, get ready, we can go in soon】

Ding Hong 【Okay】

Gu Yan 【Wait for me, I'm on my way back】

Xu Fang 【I'm also on my way back】

The tree-men and elf coalition at the foot of the mountain quickly retreated.

Zhao Chi closed the system.

His attention returned once more to this mountain strewn with corpses.

So many corpses would surely add quite a bit of fertility to this land.

Not bad at all.

Gu Qing walked over.

"My lord, aren't we going to the other side to help out?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need. The enemy over there only has 35,000 combat power, while our lord has over a hundred thousand. It's a sure win. Let's not go steal their glory."

Gu Qing nodded: "Understood. Then let's head up the mountain to search and loot."

Zhao Chi said: "Okay, but there's no need to rush this time. This is a joint operation, so the spoils still need to be selected and distributed in a second round."

Gu Qing asked: "Everything?"

"Yes, everything, including the disposal rights and ownership of the two territories."

"Then our contribution ratio must be pretty high, right?"

"Of course."

"Then should we hold off on scavenging for now?"

"Still scavenge, just don't transport anything back to our territory yet. Just take stock of the various supplies. We'll definitely be the first to pick later, and when the time comes I'll try to pick the spoils we ourselves took down, to avoid any friction."

Gu Qing asked: "But since we have priority selection rights, wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for us to pick the best ones?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "Of course it's perfectly reasonable, but there's no need. We'll talk about it when the actual selection happens. Besides, it might not really come to that — after all, they have to pick too, and they might pick the spoils from this side, in which case I'll just have to pick theirs as well."

"Oh, got it. Then let's go up and take a look first."

"Let's go."

Zhao Chi remained inside Tang Ruan's body; after all, searching enemy territory required extra caution.

Moreover, having just gone through that battle, Zhao Chi was extra vigilant — there might still be some explosives in Pang Hai's territory.

The female soldiers advanced together.

Bloody footprints were left on the ground one after another.

They quickly reached the top of the mountain and found that there were a great many buildings here.

Especially on the outermost edge, they were all low wooden huts inhabited by goblins.

The huts were only 1.5 meters tall. Ordinary goblin residents and low tier soldiers were only 1.2 meters, so they fit perfectly.

Besides, goblins weren't picky about their environment.

Letting them sleep on the ground outdoors was fine too, as long as it was relatively dry.

Zhao Chi raised Tang Ruan's long leg and kicked off the roof of a hut.

Immediately, a thick stench burst out.

The room inside was filthy and chaotic.

A large communal bed with sticky, filthy black sheets on it, and plenty of unidentifiable filth on the floor as well.

Some scattered equipment, and some women's clothing.

Beyond these, there was nothing else.

Zhao Chi kicked off two more roofs — same thing, the insides were a complete mess.

He only found some copper coins.

It could be said that these goblin buildings had no search value.

Give up.

He continued walking inward.

The buildings inside were a bit taller.

The wooden houses were about the same height as human dwellings.

These rooms were probably the residences of the Gao Jie goblins.

But inside it was still a complete mess; there was a bit more money to be found, occasionally 2-3 silver coins.

So they could search here.

He continued inward.

He saw a 2-meter-tall wooden wall.

There were still a few goblins on guard duty on the wall?

They hadn't been wiped out yet?

"Surrender, surrender gu!"

"Surrender? You're telling me to surrender?" Zhao Chi laughed in spite of his anger.

Those few goblins shook their heads rapidly: "No no no, we we surrender gu."

Zhao Chi said: "Fine, open the gate."

The goblins didn't open the gate, and instead said: "Th-then, can you promise not to kill us?"

Zhao Chi had no time to waste words with them.

"Gu Qing, deal with the guards inside."

"Yes, my lord." Gu Qing waved her hand: "Go!"

The female soldiers charged in an instant, leaping up, and several goblin heads hit the ground.

Only 2 meters.

These women cleared it with ease.

Most of the buildings inside the wall were functional structures.

A blacksmith's shop, a tailor's shop, and so on.

And he also saw quite a few white figures inside.

White again?

Whenever Zhao Chi saw white now, he had a bit of a conditioned reflex, feeling that all that white was about to explode.

He was indeed right.

Those were also female elves.

But compared to the female elves on the battlefield, these clearly had self-awareness.

They were carrying supplies, seemingly all busy.
