Chapter 2019

The other side knew that waiting in the territory was just sitting and waiting for death, so they might as well take the initiative to strike, perhaps finding an opportunity.

But this would be a fight with their backs to the river.

There was a chance to win, but once surrounded, there would be no chance of survival at all.

It was a risky move.

It all depended on how Su Qin and the others responded.

Su Qin also didn't know why those werewolves had turned north.

Perhaps they hadn't discovered Su Qin hiding in the forest?

After all, she now had the two genes "Tree Affinity" and "Tree Sanctuary," which could greatly reduce the distance at which the other side could spot her. The werewolves should have been completely unaware of Su Qin in the forest.

The genes that were originally meant to protect her were now pushing the crisis onto her teammates instead.

Of course, this wasn't something Su Qin had deliberately pushed out, but she definitely couldn't continue hiding in the forest.

Otherwise, Fu Yi would definitely be wiped out completely. His combat power was less than 3000, and his soldiers numbered only 1000, unable to cope with 7000 desperate werewolves.

They had to reinforce immediately.

Su Qin immediately stepped on a tree branch and stood up, swaying her body as she issued combat orders.

"Everyone, attention!

"The werewolves have already entered our territory. There are 7000 of them in total. Don't be nervous—4500 of them are ordinary werewolves, with combat power the same as ordinary beastmen, and they're not scary.

"The truly combat-capable ones are 2500 werewolf warriors.

"We have 2700 people, plus 6200 troops from three allied forces. We can definitely win.

"But right now we must stop the werewolves from charging toward Fu Yi!

"And this is also a good opportunity.

"If we charge out, we'll appear right on the left flank of the werewolf formation. The firing angle is excellent.

"Everyone, go shoot the moving targets!

"Kashado, Zha Zha Hula, take 700 beastman soldiers and charge straight ahead. Make a lot of noise to draw the enemy's attention, but don't go too far from the forest.

"Hong Wei, Song Na, take 800 human soldiers and charge out from the north, making it look like you're going to sandwich the werewolves. But again, just make a lot of noise, don't go too far from the forest.

"Li Qi, Liang Jing, take the healers and follow those two forces immediately. Keep constant watch to remove abnormal status effects and replenish health.

"The rest of you, follow me. Prepare to use the Sky-Piercing Arrows!"

Su Qin's orders were very clear.

"Yes!!"

The forest immediately grew noisy.

The melee infantry hiding behind trees gripped their shields tightly and rushed out, stepping on dry branches and fallen leaves.

Su Qin and the female elves she had brought leaped down from the trees and advanced rapidly.

Su Qin and the female elves all had full sets of fashion gear, so they moved very fast.

They didn't need to wait for the infantry at all—they could fully fight while moving.

The werewolf army charged straight north.

Su Qin and the female elves rushed out of the forest and could clearly see the wolf pack in the distance.

Su Qin shouted loudly: "Werewolves! Where are you running? Your opponents are right here!"

A woman's voice had a high frequency.

Su Qin's scream carried far.

The werewolves in the distance indeed heard Su Qin's voice.

Iwata Hirota turned his massive wolf head, his pupils contracting: "There are over a thousand elven archers over there. Let's go kill them first!"

Kitayama Yano said nothing.

Anger flickered in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Archers are more fragile, and they're ranged attackers—we have to eliminate them first!" Iwata Hirota explained.

Kitayama Yano raged: "Didn't you say the enemy's combat power was only 2000 points higher than yours? But it's clearly 9500 points higher than you!!"

"Uh…" Iwata Hirota said silently: "Last time, didn't I also come to rescue you?"

Kitayama Yano roared: "How can that be the same? Last time the enemy was only 1000 points stronger than me. What about now? You only think of me at times like this!"

Iwata Hirota also said displeasedly: "Damn it! Anyway, you've already come over. If we don't fight properly, we're all going to die!"

"Die, die, die—you're the one who should die most! How did I ever establish a connection with you? I really regret it!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I'm going to fight those female elves. You take 500 werewolves and head north yourself."

"Idiot!!" Kitayama Yano roared: "Can't you see that woman is deliberately drawing our attention? Who would use elves to attract werewolves' attention? Tired of dying too slowly? This just proves our direction of advance is correct. The lord in the north definitely can't withstand our charge. Take care of one first before anything else—don't get dragged down here!"

That did make some sense…

"Mm…" Iwata Hirota said nothing more and silently continued charging.

The werewolf army's direction of advance still hadn't changed.

Li Mei put back the arrow she had already nocked, turned her head and asked: "What do we do, Su Qin? The enemy completely ignored us. How about we charge in at full force? Our speed is greater than theirs!"

Li Hua reminded: "But we can't get too close. Our stamina is limited, and our melee ability is very poor. Once they get close, we'll suffer heavy casualties."

Su Qin looked at the werewolf group, then at the forest.

She judged the stamina consumption range.

"It's fine. This distance won't cost too much stamina, and our range is far enough. Follow me—quickly get within firing range and prepare to shoot!"

"Yes!"

The female elves' speed instantly increased.

This was indeed somewhat risky.

But the enemy was fighting desperately, so the word "adventure" seemed trivial by comparison.

Su Qin opened the system and selected Zhao Chi.

【20】

In just 3 seconds, she felt a tingling current of electricity spread throughout her entire body.

"Ugh—ah!"

Su Qin cried out in shock, her legs clamping together, nearly falling over.

Running at full speed really wasn't suited for using this kind of skill.

Forcing down the trembling all over her body, Su Qin pressed forward with all her might.

Over a dozen seconds later, she neared the werewolves' flank.

Yet the werewolves still paid them no heed, charging toward Fuyi's territory with single-minded focus.

Li Ju drew out an arrow: "Those werewolves don't take us seriously at all—they're still showing us their sides, swaggering along like it's a stroll."

Li Hua likewise drew out an arrow: "After all, they're stacked with armor. Normal bows would need to hit many times to break through their defense."

Su Qin gave a cold laugh: "That's perfect! Li Mei, apply the buff! Everyone aim, prepare to fire!"

"Yes!"

Light shot forth.

All the elves' attack and attack speed were fully enhanced.

Su Qin drew her bow: "Let those werewolves see for themselves the power of Piercing Cloud Arrow combined with Shock Arrow!"

"Understood!"

Spiritual power circulated around Su Qin's body, exploding at high speed.

A fierce surge of spiritual power scattered outward.

Every female elf simultaneously felt her hands fill with power.

All the elves drew their bows.

The arrowheads lit up with fluorescence, the glow growing brighter and brighter.

Each and every bow emitted a deep "buzz, buzz."

Kitayama Rino turned her head in surprise.

"What is that? Something's off."

Iwata Kanta didn't take it seriously at all: "The elves are about to shoot—they're just using bow-type skills, no need to mind it."

Kitayama Rino said doubtfully: "At this distance… it should be about 140 meters, right? Is their range really that far? And they're all glowing? What kind of skill is this?"

Iwata Kanta also noticed the light on the distant elves' hands.

"Never seen it, but it doesn't matter. At this distance, no matter what skill it is, it'll be useless—by the time the shot arrives, the power will have weakened terribly."
