Chapter 2634

Zhao Chi had no combat skills, so it didn't matter what weapon he used.

Even if he had 10 points in Blade Arts, that could be ignored.

So Zhao Chi picked the most violent, yet very simple and practical weapon — a hammer.

A two-handed hammer.

Among all weapons, it had the highest base attack power and the highest base impact force.

As long as it hit the enemy, it would definitely wound them.

The returns were very stable.

Qian Kuan looked at the system again, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

The surrounding soldiers were all groaning in pain, so he ordered: "Mira, heal them."

"Yes!"

An elven hero immediately used a healing skill, curing all the soldiers sprawled haphazardly across the hall.

But the dented and deformed armor on their bodies could not be repaired.

Zhao Chi did not stop it.

If they were going to fight, then it would be all-out war — a few small fries like these didn't matter.

Besides, spiritual power was fixed; using it now meant less during the battle later. It was all the same.

Once healed, those soldiers scrambled on hands and knees toward Qian Kuan.

Yuan Ze's soldiers, seeing this, also all ran to Yuan Ze's side.

The 7 Western merchants had already shrunk into a corner, silently muttering the name of God, begging for his protection.

Shopkeeper Wanyan had not expected today's events to develop like this.

Although the Ruby Trade Guild was a member of the Abandoned Ones Alliance, Yin Wanyan herself was just a frail female merchant, so she could only lean silently against the wall, standing together with those Western merchants.

Soon, the scene divided into three clearly distinct parts.

The first part.

The merchants in the corner.

The second part.

Zhao Chi and Tang Ruan Qiyue.

The third part.

Qian Kuan and Yuan Ze, 15 heroes, and over 70 soldiers who had been beaten into submission and then healed.

At this moment, an eerie silence fell over the entire hall.

Zhao Chi broke the silence.

"Wanyan, go to my territory."

Suddenly called out, Yin Wanyan flinched.

She didn't know whether she should go.

But where else could she go now?

She had originally planned to temporarily stay at the Aix Trade Guild, but now it seemed she had only dragged them down.

Go stay at an inn outside by herself?

But in this situation, people from the Xuanwu Regiment might come looking for trouble with her.

And most importantly, she had come here to deliver goods.

Since Zhao Chi was Zhao Si's contact, and even… her superior, there should be no problem.

Yin Wanyan nodded: "Alright…"

But her gaze flickered toward Qian Kuan for a moment.

Zhao Chi smiled: "It's fine, you're one of my people. War has already started now — whoever dares to obstruct, I will kill them."

His killing intent was chilling.

Hearing this, Yin Wanyan immediately ran over.

Her three subordinates also followed closely behind.

Zhao Chi sent the invitation, and the 4 of them clicked accept without hesitation.

The next second, the 4 of them vanished, heading to Taoyuan Town.

The 7 merchants from the Aix Trade Guild also showed eager looks, as if they wanted to go along too?

That wasn't it though…

In their view, Zhao Chi was equally terrifying.

They just wanted to escape from here and get outside.

But right now, none of them dared speak up.

Zhao Chi said to Qian Kuan: "The territory will be connected in 2 more minutes. Don't use any truce talisman or anything like that — you wouldn't be cowardly, right, Captain Qian?"

Qian Kuan's brow furrowed deeply.

He had already calmed down.

He had originally just come for revenge, wanting to savagely salvage his face and give Zhao Chi a brutal beating.

But he hadn't expected Zhao Chi to care at all.

Those two women had easily taken care of 50 Gao Jie elite soldiers.

Without taking a single wound?

Although he admittedly wasn't worthy of the vice-captain rank, he wasn't a complete good-for-nothing either — at least he was qualified for squad leader level.

Even Yuan Ze could tell something was wrong, and so could he.

At this moment, he was starting to regret having summoned those 15 heroes.

He was now completely on the back foot.

Faced with Zhao Chi's words, he couldn't find a response for a long time.

Finally, he squeezed out a sentence: "Zhao Chi, are you really just a town-level Second Lieutenant?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "What, regretting it?"

Qian Kuan snorted, "Regret? Me? You're dreaming, right?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Oh, then why don't you order your 15 heroes to attack? That punch at the trading house, and those two punches just now — you swallowed all of them? Is this still our Captain Qian's style?"

Qian Kuan said furiously, "Zhao Chi! Don't push your luck!"

Zhao Chi smiled; in the system, there was only one minute left before he could connect to his territory.

He said, "Qian Kuan, see you on the battlefield. Don't you dare chicken out, or I'll curse you for the rest of your life."

After saying that, he gave Qian Kuan a smile, and brought Tang Ruan and Qi Yue back to Taoyuan Town via teleportation.

Zhao Chi disappeared, and Yuan Ze instantly breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxing.

But Qian Kuan was under enormous pressure.

He frowned and said, "Yuan Ze, what the hell is wrong with you? Connect your territory over here, we'll fight together!"

Yuan Ze, who had just relaxed, tensed up again.

How could he possibly agree to such a thing?

"Brother Qian, that Zhao Chi really has a problem. He's definitely not as simple as he looks. If Captain Qian were here, no problem — I'd go through fire and water without complaint. But right now it's just the two of us…"

Qian Kuan's eyes bulged: "So what about the two of us? Two county-level lords can't beat one town-level lord? I've already said it — I'll take responsibility!"

Yuan Ze pleaded, "Brother, let me off, will you? I only called you over because I thought Captain Qian was here. If I'd known earlier he wasn't, I wouldn't have called you."

Qian Kuan said furiously, "Why the hell do you keep bringing up my brother? The two of us are guaranteed to win!"

Yuan Ze was practically stamping his feet and pounding his chest.

"Oh damn, Brother Qian, you… don't you have any self-awareness? Your strength is about the same as mine. Let's not take the risk."

Qian Kuan said furiously, "Zhao Chi has already connected to my territory now. You son of a bitch, are you coming or not? If you don't come, I won't let you off either!"

Yuan Ze said with a mournful face: "Fine… I'll connect. The battlefield's already formed now. You have to open the reinforcement request option before I can come over."

Qian Kuan snorted, "It's open. Get over here quick, damn it. Let's go!"

In an instant, Qian Kuan vanished along with all his subordinates.

Yuan Ze really felt like crying.

Originally, when he discovered that Shopkeeper Wanyan's order was from the White Tiger Regiment's side, he had truly only wanted to pick a fight with the White Tiger Regiment's lord.

If he could really confiscate these items and bring them back, that would count as his work achievement, and he could accumulate some contribution points.

Even if he ultimately couldn't bring them back, he could still disgust the White Tiger Regiment's lord.
