Chapter 1831

Or rather, they were beaten extremely badly.

After all, even Tang Ruan with 320,000 HP had over a hundred thousand HP shaved off by a few rounds of focused fire.

And that was with Tang Ruan's movement speed being very fast, not letting the enemy hit her too many times.

If other female soldiers with less than 10,000 HP got close, it would surely be very dangerous — death would really be hard to avoid.

But no matter what, even this kind of "ambush" is Zhao Chi's strength.

Because he can do it.

But this way, it's actually hard to estimate his own combat power.

Maybe his straight-up head-on combat power is around 50,000? Possibly even stronger.

If you add a tactical-level skill like the racial summoning, it seems it could double?

That would be 100,000?

Too few samples, hard to confirm.

Next time he can still choose enemies based on 50,000 combat power.

A bit higher should also work.

But that's something for later.

Coming back to his senses, he looked at the prisoners.

This time Zhao Chi didn't only keep the female elves.

Those human healers, human males, and elf males — all of them were kept.

Later, convert them into warriors for use.

Human male warriors are very standard warriors.

Not as fierce as orc warriors, but faster than them, with stronger discipline and coordination.

Not as fast as elf warriors, but fiercer than elf warriors — quite balanced.

And elf male warriors are more like assassins, or rather, agility-type warriors.

High damage, low defense.

If they can be given a good combat environment, their output will be extremely strong.

Su Qin now has orc warriors and human warriors, and adding some male elf warriors would be nice too.

Power, balance, speed — all three types of warriors are covered.

It can make the front-line composition more diverse.

The back line is over ten thousand female elves.

Combined with Su Qin's current Sky-Piercing Arrow… tsk tsk.

Very cinematic.

But all of this still only exists in imagination for now.

Realizing it will take time.

But it won't be too slow.

Finally, there's Li Ruanyu.

Get in touch.

Zhao Chi 【Sister, are you busy?】

After a while.

Li Ruanyu 【Yes, the time right after a battle is the busiest. I really didn't expect that you're actually this strong】

Those words left Zhao Chi stunned.

Where did such a sudden, out-of-nowhere line come from?

Zhao Chi 【What's wrong, sister?】

Li Ruanyu 【I'm looking at this battle's data right now. Among the numbers for enemy combat power eliminated, you actually have 83,628 points? You took down that many enemies?】

Zhao Chi 【Um… this…】

Li Ruanyu 【What are you hemming and hawing about? Speak the truth. Come clean, you won't tell me the truth?】

Her tone was somewhat teasing.

Zhao Chi 【That's right, I took them all down】

Li Ruanyu 【Right, not only did you take them down, but you took them down all by yourself. County-level lord Meng Meng with 30,128 combat power, town-level lord Zuo Yan with 3,486 combat power, county-level lord Pang Hai with 50,014 combat power… how could you possibly be this strong?】

Zhao Chi 【I'm just really strong】

Li Ruanyu 【So when you asked me to reinforce you later, you wanted to throw people off the scent? Push this kind of achievement onto me?】

Zhao Chi 【Yes, sister, you're really smart】

Li Ruanyu 【Don't be cheeky. Tell me, does your ridiculous combat power have something to do with those two seniors? What kind of deal did you reach with them?】

Zhao Chi 【Huh? No】

Li Ruanyu 【Impossible. Did you sign some kind of agreement, but you can't talk about it? Once you say it, they'll detect it?】

Zhao Chi was stunned for a moment.

Li Ruanyu is attributing all of Zhao Chi's ridiculous combat power to those two "seniors"?

And signing an agreement that, once spoken of, would be detected?

Zhao Chi had never even thought of something like that.

But Li Ruanyu spoke very seriously.

There was none of the previous relaxed feeling in her tone.

Zhao Chi could clearly feel the other party's concern.

Zhao Chi denied it. 【Don't worry, sis. Not at all. My combat power here doesn't really have much to do with them, and I'm not in any danger. No need to worry.】

Li Ruanyu 【Really? You're not in any danger? And you haven't signed any kind of agreement?】

Zhao Chi 【No.】

Li Ruanyu 【Promise me.】

Zhao Chi 【I promise. You don't need to worry about that.】

Li Ruanyu breathed a sigh of relief. 【That's good… You can come over to my side anytime, but I can't go back tonight. This is the busiest time for me right now. I need to report the situation to the captains, and the regiment commanders are all here too. This kind of thing definitely has to be confirmed overnight. We can only meet up tomorrow at the earliest.】

Zhao Chi understood the situation.

Before, Zhao Chi had always thought meetings were a waste of time.

The leaders sat up front talking nonstop, and Zhao Chi only felt they were spouting nonsense.

Completely useless.

But in reality, Zhao Chi had only attended unimportant meetings before because he himself wasn't important.

He had never attended a truly important meeting.

And it was those meetings that decided the future.

The meeting Li Ruanyu was holding now was definitely an important one — every second counted, and certain matters had to be settled immediately.

Zhao Chi 【Understood. Can you hold on? You've been fighting at high intensity nonstop. Want to come over here and cleanse yourself in the Carefree Spring?】

Cleanse?

Li Ruanyu's eyebrow rose.

She looked into her system space, where there were several outfits that had long been soaked through.

She said with a hint of embarrassment, 【You sure know a thing or two? Know the shortcomings of your skill? I cleaned up long ago. After every fight I'm all sticky and wet — how could I stand it if I didn't clean up?】

Zhao Chi 【Huh? What are you talking about? I meant for you to come over and replenish your buff status, like stamina recovery speed and stuff.】

Li Ruanyu 【……You meant that……The Carefree Spring's status lasts 26 hours, and there's still plenty of time left. No need to replenish.】

Zhao Chi 【I captured two enemy lords over here. I'll send them to you. I also rescued some people and lords from the Greater World, including lords from our legion.】

Li Ruanyu 【Good. Just go to Riverside Town and contact Song Qi, let her take over. I'll talk to her right away.】

Zhao Chi 【This time I captured 38,000 bottles of Frenzied Corpse Demons' mad blood. Do you have any use for them? Some of them look like they're about to go bad.】

Li Ruanyu 【That many? We can make quite a few Berserker Potions. I'll make them and send them to you, but it'll take some time.】

Zhao Chi 【Berserker Potions have side effects, I don't need them. The mad blood is yours then. There are also about 2,000 Frenzied Corpse Demon corpses — those are yours too. Can you still extract some mad blood from them?】

Li Ruanyu 【Right, you can extract some more mad blood. The meat can also be fed to the griffins.】

Zhao Chi 【Is it fine to give it all to Song Qi?】

Li Ruanyu 【Yes, just give it to her. I'll talk to her right now. Do you need anything? Medicine? Equipment? I remember you said all your equipment over there is iron. Do you want steel equipment?】

Zhao Chi 【I do want some… but do you have extra-heavy steel equipment?】
