Chapter 2708

To the east, the Iron Blood Army's Frozen Grain Town and North Remote Town stand in the way.

To the southeast, the Heavenly Court Army's Cold Wind County also stands tall.

The Iron Blood Army and the Heavenly Court Army are both allied forces, and both have now dispatched troops to help besiege the werewolves on the front line.

Even if the werewolves of District 8 want to raid the rear of the World-Breaking Army coalition, they still have to pass through these territories before reaching Garrison North Town.

Unless all these territories surrender to the werewolves in an instant, it's impossible that no warning would come through.

Even if the werewolves only send an elite squad to infiltrate…

But an elite squad could at most ambush lone lords; they wouldn't have the ability to directly attack the entire Garrison North Town.

At least for the next few days, Garrison North Town should be safe.

Of course, there's another scenario.

That would be the werewolf army ignoring all other towns and charging straight at Garrison North Town with the speed of a thunderbolt!

In that case, it would indeed momentarily stun all the allied forces along the way, plunging Garrison North Town into crisis rapidly.

But…

Why would they?

Garrison North Town has few lords garrisoned, most of its supplies have been transferred away, and even ordinary goods have been bought out by Zhao Chi.

The werewolves gain little by coming here, and would only be surrounded by all the surrounding territories… wouldn't that be doing something pointless?

The werewolves won't do that.

But Shangguan Ting kept pressing.

Shangguan Ting 【Hmm? What else do you need to do in Garrison North Town? Even if you want to develop, couldn't you come to us? It's different now from a few days ago. A few days ago a battle could break out at any moment, but now it should be hard for one to start.】

Zhao Chi 【I'm waiting for a transaction】

There's nothing to hide from those few of them.

Zhao Chi briefly and clearly explained the deal with Shopkeeper Wanyan.

Shangguan Ting 【Oh~ got it. I miss you, but that batch of goods is indeed more important, so we can only wait a bit longer】

Zhao Chi was a little surprised.

He had originally expected Shangguan Ting to make a fuss and insist that Zhao Chi come over quickly.

He didn't expect her to be so understanding this time?

Seems he underestimated her.

Li Ruanyu 【Understood. Right now everything is still unclear, so waiting in Garrison North Town for a short while should be fine. If anything changes I'll notify you immediately, and when that happens you have to rush over, okay?】

Zhao Chi 【Alright】

Su Qin 【We'll wait for you】

After a few more brief words, everyone went off to their own tasks.

Zhao Chi took out another 1 fragment of the Tai Yi Wheel.

Click, activate!

Zhao Chi was a little excited.

Because once this fragment of the Tai Yi Wheel's effect expired, the first batch of 1000 female craftsmen would all graduate.

Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya would also be revived.

It's been a long time since he's seen them; he really misses them a little.

He misses Gu Qing's surging gentle waves.

He misses Zhuang Ya's deep soft heat.

That was just a joke.

What Zhao Chi misses most is simply the two of them.

Space warped.

Penglai Town once again entered 3x time flow.

Zhao Chi piloted Tang Ruan into the furnace of the military factory and began forging.

Flames leapt up.

Sparks flew in all directions.

Zhao Chi stood quietly at the center of Penglai Town, waiting.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue also stood beside him; they were a little excited too.

The two of them were originally ordinary female villagers who knew nothing.

Even after being promoted to heroes, their various kinds of knowledge wouldn't change; one could say they were both brought up by Gu Qing.

Gu Qing could also be called the two of them's "instructor," and they also have deep feelings for Gu Qing.

Moreover, the two of them were also fully taken in by Zhao Chi on Gu Qing's suggestion and persuasion.

From this perspective, Gu Qing is the primary wife, and the two of them are concubines.

So they also hold Gu Qing in great respect.

Zhuang Ya is different from Gu Qing.

Zhuang Ya came later.

And Zhuang Ya is rather straightforward, easy to get along with, and not tiring.

So although Zhuang Ya is several years older than them, they feel no pressure in front of Zhuang Ya; instead they get along very well, more like close friends and besties.

They also miss Zhuang Ya very much.

The sky grew brighter and brighter.

The horizon was already a little hazy.

The surrounding torches illuminated the ground in the central area with perfect clarity.

Zhao Chi stared fixedly at the ground.

Crash—

Suddenly, the cold, hard ground cracked open, and small clods of earth turned over.

Crash—

An arm suddenly thrust out — fair, tender, and luminous.

Immediately after, several dozen more arms reached out, followed by glossy black hair, then snow-white bodies.

Zhao Chi rushed out.

Gu Qing climbed up, her face full of puzzlement, and stared in astonishment at Zhao Chi charging toward her.

She instinctively opened her arms and gave a soft embrace to the visibly excited Zhao Chi.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just missed you a little."

"Missed me?" Gu Qing smiled gently. "Looks like last night I didn't take good enough care of you… Tonight I'll make up for it double… Huh? What's going on? How did we get back here?"

Having just been revived, Gu Qing's mind was still a bit muddled.

All kinds of memories rapidly returned.

"Huh? My lord, weren't we going to fight the giant beast?"

At this moment, Tang Ruan and Qi Yue also threw their arms around her. Gu Qing was made even more confused by their two's enthusiastic embrace, and at that moment she also saw that she was naked, standing together with the newly arrived female villagers around her.

She instantly understood that she had already died once.

Now, she had been revived.

"We were killed in action?" Gu Qing asked in astonishment.

Zhuang Ya was also completely baffled: "Ah? So that's how it was, no wonder…"

Before she could finish speaking, she was embraced by Zhao Chi: "Zhuang Ya, I missed you too. Welcome back."

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue also rushed over together to hug her.

Zhuang Ya smiled: "Looks like even though we were killed in action, we won the war?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "We won, and it was thanks to you."

Zhuang Ya was very surprised: "Thanks to us? But why don't I have any memory of it?"

Gu Qing also nodded: "Me too. My last memory is that we passed through a huge rift, the world instantly turned white, and then you, my lord, came charging over. I have no memory of any battle at all."

The newly reborn female soldiers beside them looked at Zhao Chi and the others in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Zhao Chi smiled: "Let me tell you what happened after that. Qi Yue, leave these new people to you."
