Chapter 2389

But it wasn't her fault either.

After all, Yao Feng had been set up first too.

Moreover, leading so many lords, being chased and surrounded by so many werewolves, she definitely had to fight her way out, otherwise they'd all be delivered straight into the werewolves' jaws.

Running fast was the right call.

Every lord would also fight desperately to withdraw.

Once inside Shubei Town, they'd truly be safe.

Although there were werewolves surrounding outside, it was still safe for now, and they could finally catch their breath and rest a bit.

The werewolves behind them couldn't possibly chase all the way to Shubei Town.

Unless they were going there to die.

Shubei Town had long been one of the World-Breaking Army's bases. Although it was just a town with only a town-grade formation, the formation's energy was extremely abundant, and quite a reserve of energy had been stockpiled.

If only 2 regiments of werewolves chased in, the town-grade formation could directly imprison them for 2 hours.

Moreover, the Xuanwu Regiment was waiting at ease in the Greater World, ready to strike immediately. Under the formation's imprisonment, they could easily swallow these 2 werewolf regiments in batches — the werewolves were simply a big cake delivered right to their door.

Not only that.

To the south, the Glory Regiment could provide support at any time.

To the east and southeast, there were also the Iron Blood Army and the Heavenly Court Army forces — both friendly forces that could provide support.

Unless an entire regiment of werewolves came in pursuit, only then would they have the strength to chase out, but even so they'd suffer enormous losses.

Just 2 werewolf regiments thinking they could chase to Shubei Town — that really wouldn't work.

But then again.

2 werewolf regiments couldn't pursue into the Greater World, but after failing to chase down the White Tiger Regiment, coming back to surround the Binghe Regiment's side was still a very real threat.

In fact, an enormous threat.

Now, although the Binghe Regiment and Copper Rock Regiment allied forces were nearly winning, their condition was basically completely spent — they couldn't possibly endure another major battle.

There was no time to digest all the various werewolf spoils.

If they were caught up by the following werewolves, not only would all the spoils just obtained have to be handed over again, they themselves would probably become the werewolves' spoils.

Not to mention a werewolf army — even being held up by a small force would basically mean total annihilation given the current situation.

So when withdrawing later, they'd definitely have to take a detour.

Better to walk a longer path than let the werewolves find them.

And absolutely must not get held up.

Yao Feng's side took 2 hours to withdraw.

For this side, it was estimated to take several times that — probably over ten hours.

Right now there were still quite a few lords fighting. Every battlefield had lords coming to support, and every battlefield had the advantage.

Withdrawing at a time like this was practically spitting out meat already in one's mouth.

Truly painful.

But there was no choice.

The werewolves were really clever — they knew to send 3 squadrons ahead to withdraw and set up an ambush.

3 werewolf squadrons alone weren't scary.

What was scary was being held up by these 3 squadrons of werewolves — that would put them in a very passive position.

The strength of 3 werewolf squadrons was close to that of 1 World-Breaking Army regiment.

Not something they could fight in their current state.

They had to withdraw.

If they could win within these 10 minutes, they had to go all out, risk everything.

But there would certainly be plenty of battlefields that couldn't finish in time — for those, they could only sever the link.

Severing the link required both sides to agree.

The werewolves were at a great disadvantage, so they'd definitely agree.

Dragging it out would only hurt both sides, and the werewolves would die first.

Unless there were abnormal werewolves.

But those were certainly rare.

If they really encountered such abnormal werewolves, either other lords would rush in and quickly crush them to victory.

Or, they'd have to abandon the territory.

If they wanted to withdraw, they definitely could.

Unless, they encountered a Realm-Sealing Lock.

Then it really would be mutual death.

But as said before, werewolves were also normal intelligent beings — highly intelligent — and they wanted to live too.

Without a blood feud, they wouldn't do something like this either.

Zhao Chi checked the current battlefield.

He found that Ren Yunchuan hadn't continued linking with other battlefields, but had teleported to other lords' sides to assist.

So this battlefield's battle was already over, and Zhao Chi could now return to his territory.

He had Tang Ruan go outside, greet the elven garrison on the city wall, and then directly return to Taoyuan Town.

The moment he came back, he saw the Carefree Spring completely full of female soldiers.

All of them were resting inside, some sitting, some lying down.

And every single one had flushed cheeks and was panting heavily.

It was hard to tell whether the moisture on their faces was spring water or sweat.

But one thing was certain.

They had also just finished fighting, and they were all exhausted too.

The scent in the territory truly came rushing at the nose, unusually fragrant.

Though rich, it was not at all pungent — a very pleasant fragrance.

The moment he returned, the female soldiers all stood up one after another to greet him.

Zhao Chi quickly told them to keep resting.

Su Qin was also nearby.

Seeing Zhao Chi return, she immediately came over to meet him.

"You're back."

Her cheeks were also flushed and rosy, beaded with fragrant sweat.

Only her right arm hung at her side, looking limp and weak.

"Mm, you should rest right away — what happened to your arm?"

Su Qin smiled and said: "My arm is nearly wrecked; I overused the Cloud-Piercing Arrow."

Zhao Chi gently stroked it.

Her arm was somewhat swollen; though still extremely soft, compared with their actual skin and muscle, it still looked a bit stiff.

"Don't push yourself so hard."

Su Qin smiled and said: "This way we can lose fewer sisters. Everyone has fought six battles in a row — though the intensity got lower and lower toward the end, they're all exhausted too."

Zhao Chi nodded: "You got the notification just now, right? Rest up quickly — we still have to pull out in a bit."

Su Qin said: "Don't worry, it's just my arm that really hurts; everything else is fine."

"Lie down right now — even ten minutes of sleep will help."

Zhao Chi went straight to work.

Su Qin, smiling brightly, lay back down on the Moon-Glow Stone bed of the Carefree Spring and closed her eyes.

For ordinary people, falling asleep in ten minutes was nearly impossible.

But these women of the Taoyuan could.

When he had changed their race back then, Zhao Chi had helped them transfer over the beastfolk's easy-sleep trait.

Of course, they wouldn't snore thunderously like beastfolk — they just fell asleep very easily.

Whenever they wanted to sleep, lying down was enough to drift off.

At the same time, they all also had the goblin's alertness.

Even in sleep, they remained very alert.
