Chapter 1995

Also, the werewolves still have over 2,200 county-level lords and over 1,300 town-level lords that no one is dealing with...

This is really hard to fight.

How do we solve this?

If we haven't come up with a countermeasure after 100 hours, it's over.

And the werewolves might even have follow-up reinforcements.

How the hell do we fight this?

But there should be one last fallback: completely abandoning Snowfield City and escaping through the spatial rift.

But this is also extremely risky.

It's like abandoning the city and fleeing — once we do, we won't have any terrain advantage left.

As long as the werewolves chase us down, the result will be the same.

Zhao Chi and her female soldiers have very high movement speed; if they enter the spatial rift, they should be able to shake off the werewolves' pursuit.

But the other lords can't.

And it's not safe inside the spatial rift either.

Even if Zhao Chi escapes with her female soldiers, relying on himself alone, he'd probably have a hard time reaching the next city.

This fucking hell...

The situation is really critical.

Even more critical than imagined.

The werewolves really are going all out — they want to completely wipe out the surrounding forces before focusing on the nobles.

Not easy to handle.

Zhao Chi is somewhat relieved that he just distributed all the fashion and weapons.

But the quantity is limited after all; for the overall picture, the combat power boost is still limited.

Too damn hard.

The comms group has already exploded.

Because everyone has seen the current predicament.

【Ye Kai - Ye Kai Group - Leader】 Did you see it? The werewolves have 27 state-level lords — what's going on? There shouldn't be this many state-level lords at the corps level, right?

【Kong Qi - Torrent Squad - Member】 Yeah, I saw it... What do we do? Even if we can stall for 100 hours, what happens after those 100 hours?

【Shen Bo - Flying Dragon Squad - Vice Leader】 Now's not the time to think about that. Quickly match enemies and weaken them with everything you've got!

【Li Hong - Iron Mountain Squad - Member】 Look, the werewolves don't even have a single village-level lord — they're all town-level or above, with strength at least 4-5 times ours! We can't win! It's all over! We're definitely going to lose!

【Mo Ming - Ming Tide Squad - Leader】 @Iron Mountain, take a look at your own squad members.

【Iron Mountain - Iron Mountain Squad - Leader】 @Li Hong, you fucking bastard, what are you scared of?! Don't you dare embarrass our squad — get to matching now! No village-level lords? Then match town-level lords! Time is limited! Get in there and fight! Stop howling in the group!!

【Iron Mountain - Iron Mountain Squad - Leader】 All members of Iron Mountain Squad, shut your mouths! Stop posting in the group — get in there and fight. Use numbers against one. Even if we lose in the end, fight to break even right now!

【Mo Ming - Ming Tide Squad - Leader】 Agreed! Everyone in Ming Tide Squad, stop talking too. Give it everything you've got!

【Li Ruanyu - Jadeite Middle Squad - Leader】 Everyone, don't waste time worrying. The situation is indeed not optimistic, but the advantage is something we fight for — saying demoralizing things serves no purpose. If you're really worried, have the support heroes in your territory use Inspiration to boost morale a bit.

【Gu Zhan - Binghe Corps - Vice Leader】 Everyone, quickly pick your enemies. We've already freed up some personnel ready to support you at any time. This is the only moment we have terrain advantage — don't waste this opportunity.

【Jiang Chen - White Tiger Regiment - Vice Regiment Leader】 I'll engage the enemy's strongest state-level lord and try to take him out in one battle — to give everyone some confidence!

【Wu Ze - Torrent Squad - Member】 Wow, Vice Regiment Leader Jiang is making a move — absolutely no problem!

【Sun Duo - Rain Fall Squad - Member】 Go for it, Vice Regiment Leader Jiang! We're going in too.

【Geng Zhan - Clear Bamboo Group - Member】 Exactly, everyone charge! Fuck them up!

The chatter in the group died down.

But it was also clearly noticeable that many lords still had no confidence.

That's perfectly normal.

Even Zhao Chi has no confidence — it'd be strange if other lords had any.

At times like this, you can only rely on faith and hope.

More and more lords entered battle.

Zhao Chi wasn't in a hurry.

Instead, he pulled up the lords he cared about to check on their situations.

First, he wanted to see how strong that vice regiment leader was — how much weight he carried.

【Requesting Reinforcement: Battlefield 281】

【Ally: State-level Lord: Jiang Chen, Black Glare Vampire, Combat Power 7.71 million】

【Enemy: State-level Lord: Yamada Nobuhiro, Ancient Werewolf, Combat Power 11.39 million】

Holy shit!

Tens-of-millions combat power!

Is this the strength of a state-level lord?

Jiang Chen also has 7.71 million — pretty damn strong.

But... his opponent has 11 million combat power.

Can Jiang Chen pull it off?

Isn't he overreaching a bit?

He better not be getting carried away!

Normally, picking an enemy with 30% lower combat power than yourself is appropriate — victory usually isn't hard.

Picking an enemy with 50% lower combat power is the safest bet.

If the enemy you pick has the same combat power as yourself, it's very dangerous — even if you win, the losses are often not small.

And Jiang Chen?

How did he pick a lord who is 47% stronger than himself?

Can he actually win?

He's the vice regiment commander, he should be experienced — at the very least, he shouldn't be this reckless.

Even if he wants to boost morale by cutting down the enemy's strongest lord, this isn't how you fight.

If he dies, forget boosting morale — it'll cause morale to collapse outright.

Maybe he has a lot of hidden combat power too?

Still hesitating, he suddenly noticed a few more people had appeared on that battlefield.

【Requesting Reinforcements: Battlefield 281】

【Friendly: State-Level Lord: Jiang Chen, Black Glare Blood Clan, Combat Power 7.71 million】

【Enemy: State-Level Lord: Yamada Nobuhiro, Ancient Wolf Clan, Combat Power 11.39 million】

【Reinforcements connecting】

【Friendly: State-Level Lord: Gu Zhan, Iron Golem, Combat Power 3.82 million】

【Friendly: State-Level Lord: Li Yanhui, High Elf, Combat Power 3.17 million】

【Friendly: Prefecture-Level Lord: Li Ruanyu, Human Clan, Combat Power 1.78 million】

Oh…

So he wasn't going to fight solo.

Li Ruanyu and the others have all gone over.

Then this way it's 16.48 million combat power against 11.39 million combat power.

The advantage is huge.

Roughly 45% higher than the enemy's combat power — barring accidents, a steady win.

And a steady, decisive win at that.

After cutting down the enemy's strongest combat power like this, it should inspire the other lords, right?

But an enemy at this level should be very hard to actually catch or truly kill.

They probably all have various items or methods to escape.

But no matter what, at least they can defeat him, and the fights afterward will be easier.

But what Zhao Chi didn't expect was that Li Ruanyu's combat power had also reached 1.78 million.

Last time he checked, it was still 940,000.

Her combat power is rising a bit fast…
