Chapter 2363

Back then she was unwilling to send people to aid the family lord, simply because the risk was too high and she couldn't afford to add unnecessary losses.

But now the family lord has been delivered right to her, so of course she would immediately take them in and arrange things, and evacuate together.

So...

Shangguan Ting should be able to offset merits against faults.

Her merits might even outweigh her faults.

However, the moment Yao Feng was mentioned, Shangguan Ting got a little nervous.

That's quite rare.

But Zhao Chi knew the reason.

Li Ruanyu had told Zhao Chi that Yao Feng was the instructor for both her and Shangguan Ting.

Yao Feng was very good to them, but also very strict.

They both respected and feared Yao Feng.

So Li Ruanyu's Jade Squadron, and Shangguan Ting's Phantom Squadron, were not directly subordinate to the main corps, but directly subordinate to the White Tiger Regiment.

Directly under Yao Feng.

So strictly speaking, Shangguan Ting wasn't screwing over her dad, but screwing over her mom.

Not quite accurate either...

After all, Yao Feng was only a few years older than them — more precisely, screwing over her sister?

While he was thinking, the battle was already over.

There were still quite a few werewolves running around everywhere, but the system had already judged it finished.

They could prepare for the next one.

Both Shangguan Ting and Zhao Chi had come over through direct support.

They had now regained their freedom and could return to their territory, or support others.

Li Ruanyu's territory had been connected by the werewolves, but it was now free as well.

She could also reconnect to other werewolf territories, or also carry out direct support, bringing her soldiers into other battlefields.

Before long, all the remaining werewolves had been wiped out.

Although the werewolves ran around everywhere and were very fast, Li Ruanyu had griffins.

Those who run simply can't compare to those who fly.

Moreover, Shangguan Ting's were vampires, also known for their speed, and could fly for short periods — chasing and killing was extremely efficient, not even worth mentioning.

Although they had won, Li Ruanyu's soldiers had just gone through a great battle and needed recovery and rest.

Fortunately, her soldiers all had the boost of the Carefree Spring, so they only needed a short rest.

Taking advantage of the moment, they could decide who to aid first.

There were many choices.

Shangguan Ting said:

"Of course we aid Jiang Chen.

"He hasn't lost too much combat power now either. Once a few of us go over, we can directly even out the combat power gap with the enemy.

"And look at his enemies — one is an ancient werewolf, one is the elf race.

"But Jiang Chen's race is the Black Glaze Vampire. Vampires can counter the elf race, but with an ancient werewolf present, the Black Glaze Vampire can't perform as it should.

"If we go in, Li Ruanyu, your Holy Knights and Berserkers and the like can rush over to hold back the ancient werewolf.

"And my vampires can thrust straight into those elves. Don't look at those elves still having over a million combat power now — in front of vampire warriors, they're just a bunch of blood bags.

"Add in Zhao Chi's such strong combat power, and his super strong enhancement ability, the battle will definitely end very quickly.

"Jiang Chen's combat power is the strongest.

"If we can free him up, all the other high-level enemies can be easily dealt with.

"How about it?"

Actually, there was reason in it.

Zhao Chi also had his own thoughts.

But he had self-awareness.

Although now Shangguan Ting, after being saved by him, had instantly fallen into a lovesick daze, becoming infatuated with Zhao Chi on the spot, wishing she could listen to him in everything.

But Zhao Chi ultimately had too little experience.

In this aspect, he was far inferior to Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting.

Professional matters should still listen to the professionals' opinions.

So he didn't voice an opinion, but looked toward Li Ruanyu.

"What about you? Ruanyu?"

Li Ruanyu said:

"What Shangguan Ting said isn't wrong.

"Aiding Regiment Commander Jiang Chen first is indeed fine, but I have another way of thinking.

"I still feel it's better to aid Regiment Commander Shen Jiyun first.

"Commander Shen is clearly being targeted by the enemy. His harpies fighting against the manticores are countered far too severely.

"His combat power is being lost the fastest. If no one supports him, his side might collapse. If we just lose him like that, it really would be too great a pity.

"If we can support him earlier, we can preserve more of his combat power, letting him still maintain several million in combat power.

"After all, his harpies, if they can fight werewolves, with the advantage of flight, are actually very strong.

"If we can preserve his strength, it benefits every one of us.

"Although the werewolves' reinforcements all went to pursue Captain Yao Feng, it'll be hard to catch her.

"Once Captain Yao Feng and the others confirm their withdrawal, the werewolf reinforcements will definitely come to surround and block us.

"One more top-tier combatant is absolutely better.

"As for Captain Jiang Chen… he can clearly hold on for quite a while longer.

"So I think we should prioritize the urgent rescue first — go save Captain Shen Jiyun.

"I have griffins that can fight in the air, and Shangguan Ting's blood clan can also fly for short periods. We can fight.

"What do you all think?"

There's some logic to that too…

Shangguan Ting's approach is to first deploy the strongest combat power.

If Jiang Chen is free, the remaining enemies will all be easy to deal with.

Li Ruanyu's approach is to cut losses first.

Shen Jiyun is losing massive combat power every moment, and that's a terrible waste.

If we aid him first, we can preserve that combat power for use in other battles — otherwise it's truly too wasteful.

However.

Shangguan Ting clearly disagrees.

She crosses her hands over her flat chest, glances sidelong at Li Ruanyu, and says:

"Your idea sounds good, but it's not realistic.

"Have you even looked at how much combat power Shen Jiyun has left?

"And how much combat power do the enemies still have?

"The two of us combined are at most a little over three million — a million-plus behind the enemy. How do we fight?

"Not only will we fail to rescue Shen Jiyun, we'll get bogged down ourselves, and no one will help Jiang Chen's side either — he won't be able to get out.

"The hard-won advantage will be completely thrown away.

"Is this the caliber of the dignified second squad captain?

"Huh? Sister Ruanyu?"

Li Ruanyu frowns.

She's dissatisfied not only with her words, but even more so with that final form of address.

Although she keeps calling her 'sister' with every breath, it's obviously mockery.

And besides… when did I ever become her sister?

Is it because of Zhao Chi?

Don't even think about it!
