Chapter 2229

Entering so unexpectedly can still produce a surprise-attack effect, catching them off guard.

However, spatial rifts and territory spaces don't have a one-to-one correspondence.

To invade through a spatial rift, one must first obtain detailed territory coordinates and detailed corresponding spatial coordinates.

How did the werewolves obtain them?

At this moment, Li Ruanyu's message also came through.

The tone was very urgent.

Li Ruanyu 【Zhao Chi, you've received the notice from Captain Yao Feng, right? Prepare for battle, don't be careless at all】

Zhao Chi 【Mm, understood】

Li Ruanyu 【I'm heading to a meeting right now, if anything comes up I'll tell you later, you can tell Su Qin, but don't tell anyone else】

Zhao Chi 【Okay】

It's now 1 a. m., Zhao Chi and Qi Yue have fully recovered.

Wake Qi Yue, and notify Gu Qing and the others to gather at Taoyuan Town.

The female soldiers moved quickly.

Emergency assembly is one of the drills practiced every day.

Within just a few minutes, over ten thousand female soldiers gathered at Taoyuan Town.

Everywhere was pitch black.

Relying on starlight, Zhao Chi could only see pairs of eyes reflecting faint glimmers.

If the werewolves invaded now, they probably wouldn't even be able to see clearly before being wiped out by these female soldiers.

Zhao Chi slipped into Gu Qing's body, and only then could he see the surrounding scene clearly.

Nearly ten thousand female soldiers stood in neat formation.

The sight was quite magnificent.

Countless delicate, beautiful faces looked over, and various different fragrances drifted about — it was simply a man's paradise.

But when enemies saw these female soldiers, they would probably feel they'd arrived in hell.

Zhao Chi gave the order: "Everyone rest in Taoyuan Town, conserve your strength, and await orders."

"YES!!!"

The female soldiers didn't deliberately shout, but with 9,550 voices layered together, the responding cry was still quite stunning.

Zhao Chi felt Gu Qing's heart and chest trembling.

The system sent a prompt:

Su Qin 【Zhao Chi, should I connect over?】

Zhao Chi 【Sure, I'll set it up】

Su Qin 【Okay!】

As Su Qin's territory, Qingzhu Town is registered in the Greater World.

So once the Truce Talisman's effect ends, the werewolves can track down Su Qin's territory.

So they might as well connect the two territories — whether the werewolves invade Su Qin or Zhao Chi, both of them can deal with it together.

Zhao Chi set it up in the system.

Then he received a prompt:

【Lord "Zhao Chi" is applying to connect to "Qingzhu Town", connection location "Due North", connecting territory "Taoyuan Town", duration "10 days". Do you agree?】

This prompt is superfluous.

Zhao Chi clicked confirm.

A muffled thunder rumbled.

The Fog Walls on the south side of Taoyuan Town and on the north side of Qingzhu Town both began to shake.

Quickly, the Fog Walls of both territories completely dissipated, and the two territories temporarily merged into one.

If they want to connect permanently, that works too — just set the duration to permanent.

But it requires both parties to agree.

Su Qin of course agrees, so it all depends on Zhao Chi.

Permanently connecting two territories is no problem — it's the same as defeating an enemy lord and choosing to occupy their territory instead of destroying it.

Some lords with close relationships also permanently connect their territories.

For example, between husband and wife.

Or between close friends.

Some connect entire clans together.

Once dozens of territories are connected to each other, it's practically a small world.

Connecting like this has its benefits.

Many soldiers can gather together into a single army, with very strong combat power.

Moreover, each lord has their own specialty — some are good at healing, some at scouting — each can play their own role.

When territories are connected, some directions are friendly on both sides, so enemies and magical beasts can't come from that direction, which also reduces defensive pressure.

If many lords connect with each other, such as an entire clan connecting.

Then there will inevitably be a large number of lords in the central position.

That position is very safe.

Surrounded on all sides by friendly relatives, so there's no worry of enemies suddenly appearing, and one can develop with peace of mind.

Those in the center are basically minor lords, production-type lords, and the most core main lords.

Everyone dispatches some soldiers to garrison the outer lords' territories, and let those combat-type lords handle the fighting.

This is an advanced version of a team.

More tightly bound than a team.

But there are downsides too.

Once territories are connected together, they count as the same world, and their strength stacks, making them appear extremely powerful.

Because of this, the invading magical beasts will also be stronger.

The enemies who come to attack will also be stronger.

Enemies will see that this Territory World is made up of multiple territories, so they'll judge whether it's worth invading.

Once an enemy decides they're stronger and invades, the entire clan faces the risk of being wiped out.

Because during a war, the territory connections cannot be severed.

Once defeated, the whole family dies.

Better not to connect them at all.

If not connected, each territory stands alone.

If you want to concentrate combat power, you can just gather all the soldiers together, and that can form very strong fighting force too.

And it offers more privacy and independence.

If one of them gets crushed by a powerful enemy, it won't affect the others.

So keeping territories connected for a long time is a bit like sharing in fortune and sharing in misfortune.

Of course, Zhao Chi isn't afraid.

Permanently connecting with Qingzhu Town is no problem.

It's just that Su Qin still needs to team up with Xiang Yuan, Geng Zhan, and the others later, and sometimes even add Su Qin's squad, Wei Li's squad, etc. to fight together.

So for now, let Qingzhu Town remain independent.

The two territories are already fully connected.

Su Qin sent a message: 【Zhao Chi, should I bring troops over?】

Zhao Chi: 【No need. We still don't know where the enemy will invade from. My side's female soldiers move fast, I'll handle the mobility. You prepare in the territory.】

Su Qin: 【Understood!】

Zhao Chi: 【The situation isn't clear yet. Let your soldiers rest first. Don't be too tense, and don't burn through stamina.】

Su Qin: 【Mm, okay.】

Time passed bit by bit.

Zhao Chi was never invaded by enemies.

The Jade Squadron's comms group, as well as the Binghe main force's comms group, were both in heated discussion.
