Chapter 1983

Six smooth, fair arms shuttled back and forth.

Another twenty minutes passed.

Zhao Chi already grew more and more skilled at it, his crafting speed faster than before.

A full eight hundred short skirts had been made.

Gu Qing also acted swiftly and sent them off immediately.

Zhao Chi felt a little dizzy.

No—more accurately, Qi Yue felt a little dizzy.

When crafting with Qi Yue earlier, although it was tedious, the two of them flirted as they worked.

One could call it teasing and bickering.

Very relaxed.

But that wasn't the case now.

Neither Zhao Chi nor Qi Yue spoke at all.

Qi Yue was a woman who knew what mattered; she was very calm. She knew the situation was urgent, so she had to give her all and couldn't let Zhao Chi be distracted.

Zhao Chi likewise had no time for idle talk, squeezing out every ounce of his focus to craft.

During this time, both Su Qin and Li Ruanyu sent their thanks.

【Su Qin】:

【Wow, Zhao Chi, new outfits again? This much spiritual power added—my Far Sight technique can cover more people now.】

【I heard from the female soldier delivering them that you just made these? You don't have to give me so many; as long as I and a few of my subordinate heroes can wear them, that's enough.】

【The rest, equip yourselves with more—you guys are so strong, it's far more useful on you than on us. I have enough over here.】

Zhao Chi: 【No problem, fifty for you. Fight well, and don't pick opponents who are too strong.】

Su Qin: 【Mm, I understand.】

Su Qin probably had never used an Outfit Expansion Stone, so she and her spirits definitely couldn't wear Zhao Chi's full set of outfits.

Let her decide for herself and see which one to swap out.

【Li Ruanyu】:

【Huh? Zhao Chi, did you just make these short skirts? They're really nice. I love this style the most. How does a big man like you make outfits that are so feminine?】

【It's just that the skirts are a little too short. If I wear such short skirts, I'll get scolded by a lot of women again. Haha, who cares about them!】

【And these attributes… they're simply perfect for me, every single one!】

【With this hover bonus, when we ride griffins we can jump down from higher places, and both we and the griffins will be much safer.】

【And the extra heavy defense on the hips—then when we ride griffins, and when those female knights ride horses, our butts won't get jarred so painfully.】

【I'll distribute them right away, and share some with the other lords too.】

【Time is tight, can't chat more with you. In short, I really love these skirts.】

【You're awesome!】

Zhao Chi hadn't expected hip defense could be used like that.

He had only ridden a griffin once, but he had ridden horses many times, and his butt really did get badly jarred.

If the defense could be increased, it really would reduce the pain.

He could tell Li Ruanyu was very pleasantly surprised.

She was probably very busy, so she spoke especially fast, rattling off a whole string of words in a rising tone.

Especially those last three words—he had never heard her say them even in bed.

Looks like she really did like them.

Zhao Chi was just about to reply to her when he received a notification from the World-Breaking Army.

【Everyone!】

【This is Yao Feng.】

【Now reporting the current situation.】

Upon hearing that name, Zhao Chi couldn't help pricking up his ears.

Yao Feng, commander of the White Tiger Regiment.

Female, thirty-one years old.

This was also information Su Qin had implanted into Zhao Chi's mind.

Zhao Chi had never seen her before; this was the first time hearing her voice.

A very mature, older-sister voice.

He only heard her say in a steady tone:

【The werewolves' three combat regiments split into two groups, invading our central West Abyss County and our southern Binghe County respectively.】

【In the central area, the werewolves have two regiments. One of them has surrounded the area south of West Abyss County, but has not attacked.】

【The other regiment is garrisoned on the outskirts of West Abyss County, apparently to block our northern reinforcements.】

【So unfortunately, our White Tiger Regiment is the werewolves' first target for destruction.】

【Due to the werewolves' blockade, the reinforcements sent by our four northern regiments will find it hard to arrive quickly, and they have to face two werewolf corps, so they also can't break through quickly.】

【And if they come to support us, they will definitely send a large force—small units coming would be pointless.】

【If a large force comes… that's also unrealistic. It's easy for the werewolves to seize the opportunity to attack—besiege a point and strike at reinforcements.】

【Although we have a numerical advantage in the north, the werewolves are very strong, and they aren't attacking but holding a defensive posture, so we can't bring any of our formation advantages to bear.】

【This is the current situation.】

【To summarize—】

【Our four regiments to the north are being held off by two werewolf regiments, so they won't be able to provide support in the short term.】

【So our White Tiger Regiment can only face the werewolf army alone for now — a full one-regiment werewolf army.】

【Fortunately, the lords of several villages have already completed their evacuation, with no losses whatsoever.】

【But while villages can be abandoned and evacuated, towns cannot. Relying solely on Binghe County's formation array, we cannot connect all our lords. Everyone must face the enemy at their respective towns.】

【Now our one regiment is fighting one werewolf regiment — a fair one-on-one head-on confrontation.】

【I will personally garrison Binghe County. The other four vice-regiment commanders have already been transferred to the four towns to assist each of you in defense.】

【"Copper Rock Town — Vice-Regiment Commander Shen Jiyun assisting defense" / "Cold Needle Town — Vice-Regiment Commander Fei Jing assisting defense" / "Horn Cliff Town — Vice-Regiment Commander Jiang Chen assisting defense" / "River Valley Town — Vice-Regiment Commander Fu Jianxing assisting defense"】

【Next, I'll discuss tactics.】

【The enemy is expected to enter the formation range of "Cold Needle Town" and "River Valley Town" in about 15 minutes. They will enter the formation range of "Copper Rock Town" and "Horn Cliff Town" in about 30 minutes.】

【Everyone give it your all — use superior numbers to overwhelm them. Strive to completely crush part of the enemy before the formation effects end, that is, within about one hour.】

【Don't worry about consumption.】

【When the formation's duration ends, everyone activate a "Long-Term Peace Talisman." It will make you inviolable for 100 hours. Use this time to rest and reorganize as quickly as possible.】

【The Long-Term Peace Talismans are being distributed now. Everyone can receive at least one.】

【Note: while the Peace Talisman is active, do not take the offensive, or its effect will disappear.】

【The matter of what comes next hasn't been settled in discussion yet, but at least we still have a 100-hour buffer. There will definitely be a way. We will definitely win.】

【The reputation of our White Tiger Regiment was forged in battle. Now there is no retreat — we have nowhere to fall back to!】

【So we must fight with everything we have. Whether or not a good plan emerges in the end, we must be prepared to give our all!】

【Everyone, execute according to the tactics.】

【I wish you all the best of luck.】
