Chapter 2046

Guan Zhiyong also nodded.

"Right, this is absolutely workable. Gu Zhan, while you still have a bit of formation energy left, immediately arrange people to issue the Boundary-Locking Seals, and notify everyone of this news."

Gu Zhan nodded: "Alright."

Jiang Chen said: "Li Ruanyu's idea is very good. Does anyone else have thoughts? Feel free to speak up. Even if the feasibility isn't high, as long as you have even a shred of an idea, you can raise it. Those in the back rows can speak too — let's discuss it together."

Gradually.

The sound of discussion rose.

Everyone chimed in with all sorts of suggestions.

The few women beside Zhao Chi also raised some possibilities.

Everyone threw out every wild idea they had, and indeed they managed to discuss out even more plans.

Especially at the tactical level, there were the most plans.

But unfortunately.

Not a single one of these plans was workable.

Every single one had problems of various kinds.

Some plans were too difficult to execute.

Some plans were too dangerous — not worth attempting.

Some relied too much on luck.

Some required abandoning the weaker lords.

In short, every one had obvious flaws.

But everyone kept on discussing.

The entire meeting room was in full swing, with the occasional burst of argument mixed in.

Two hours later.

Jiang Chen raised his hand:

"Alright, everyone take a short break for now,

"We're going to be discussing until very late today, so rest your brains for a bit, sort out your thoughts, and we'll continue the discussion in a while.

"The direction everyone is thinking in is very good. Although there's no workable plan for the moment, there really are quite a few clever angles.

"I'll go get some food. In a bit, let's eat while we hold the meeting in the big meeting room next door.

"Anyway, we don't need to be here receiving information every single moment — everyone just needs to come by occasionally to receive it."

Right now, there really was still no method.

But the mood of everyone in the room had temporarily lifted a bit.

The reason they were in this small meeting room was mainly to conserve the formation's energy, making it easier to send and receive messages from the World-Breaking Armies in other towns.

Since they now knew the situation of the other World-Breaking Armies, there really was no need to keep crowding in here.

Everyone stood up one after another to rest.

Gongsun Bai rubbed his backside: "Ouch, my butt's sore from sitting."

Zhao Chi almost reached out to help her rub it.

Because Gu Qing was always saying her body ached, asking Zhao Chi to help massage her.

Most often it was the chest or the buttocks.

Zhao Chi knew Gu Qing definitely wasn't really aching — she was just flirting — but he was more than willing to oblige.

The other women followed suit, all picking up this kind of trick from Gu Qing.

So Zhao Chi had long gotten used to it.

He had almost grabbed her just now…

This Gu Qing…

Almost caused trouble.

"Zhao Chi, come with me."

Zhao Chi was breaking out in a cold sweat. Li Ruanyu turned around and gave Zhao Chi a slight nod.

The two walked out of the meeting room, one in front of the other.

"Come, let's go to my side. I have some things I want to ask your opinion on."

"Alright."

The formation at Horn Cliff Town hadn't been destroyed yet, so the two arrived in a room within Li Ruanyu's territory in an instant.

The instant they entered the room, Li Ruanyu seemed to have all her strength drained out of her, and just hung limply on Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi scooped her up around the waist.

She had fought the strongest werewolf not long ago, and had probably also engaged in consecutive battles.

On top of that, she had continuously consumed 120 Berserk Energy units, so her body was extremely exhausted.

During the meeting just now, she must have been pushing herself.

Now she could no longer hold on at all.

"Want to sleep for a bit?" Zhao Chi asked softly.

"No, let's go to the sofa. I have some things I want to ask you."

Li Ruanyu curled up in Zhao Chi's arms, not wanting to move at all.

"Alright."

Zhao Chi placed Li Ruanyu on the sofa and took off her high heels.

The soles of her feet were damp, and even the bottoms of her stockings were soaked through with sweat.

But the soles of her feet were very cold.

Li Ruanyu pulled her feet back: "Come here, let me lean against you."

"Okay."

Zhao Chi sat on the sofa, and Li Ruanyu leaned against his shoulder.

"Zhao Chi, you should have some understanding of the current situation by now, right?"

"Of course."

Zhao Chi had been listening the entire time.

Although the squad leaders kept racking their brains for countermeasures, in the end there was no good solution.

The road ahead was still fraught with danger.

Li Ruanyu raised her head.

Staring into Zhao Chi's eyes:

"The situation right now is very dire, and there's not much time left. Everyone's been discussing it heatedly, but actually… it's futile.

"There are only two most reliable methods: one is to weaken the werewolves' strength, and the other is to boost everyone's strength.

"For the first method, apart from the Boundary-Sealing Lock being able to take effect again, there probably aren't any other options left.

"But as for boosting everyone's strength, we still have a sliver of hope."

Li Ruanyu kept staring at Zhao Chi.

Her words clearly weren't finished.

But Zhao Chi already understood what she was about to say.

"I understand, Ruanyu. The outfits can be distributed to everyone, that's no problem at all. But the issue is there's less than 100 hours left, and I simply can't make too many — at most a few thousand sets. If I make single pieces, though, I can produce tens of thousands."

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "Not just the outfits — your Elven Bow, Moon-Chasing Spear, Phoenix Cry Blade, Mystic Maiden Armor, and so on, and so on — are you willing to share them?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Of course, but my stock isn't much either. If it's just distributed to the lords… it should be enough. But that won't raise everyone's strength by much, will it?"

Li Ruanyu still shook her head.

"No… what I mean is… the techniques."

She seemed a little hesitant to speak.

"Techniques?"

"Yes, the techniques."

"You mean, share the techniques with everyone?"

"Yes, that's doable. The main thing is you…"

Zhao Chi understood why Li Ruanyu was so hesitant.

After all, techniques are proprietary.
