Chapter 2760

Ye Kai said in disbelief: "You… you're all?"

Zhao Chi asked: "Can we pass through?"

Ye Kai said with reluctance: "We can… What's going on with Zhao Chi? Where's Zhao Chi?"

"There's another mission."

"Alright, alright, Zhao Chi really has amazing romantic luck… where did he find so many women at this level…"

He mumbled on, his eyes fixed on Gu Qing and the others.

After leaving, they were very close to their destination: Tieqiao Village.

They had now entered the White Tiger Corps' garrison area.

Around them were White Tiger Corps outposts and patrol squads; this location had almost no werewolves.

Zhao Chi found a deserted spot and broke away from Gu Qing.

Then he sent a message in the group chat.

Zhao Chi: 【Ruanyu, Su Qin, I've reached the outskirts of Tieqiao Village, about ten minutes away.】

Li Ruanyu: 【Why didn't you say so earlier? I could've picked you up at Heishui Town.】

Su Qin: 【Did you come from the north or the west? I'm coming over now.】

Shangguan Ting: 【Huh? You're almost at Tieqiao Village? When are you coming to Qingyu Village? Our squad is stationed there.】

Zhao Chi: 【Yes, I came from the north.】

Su Qin: 【I'm on my way immediately.】

Li Ruanyu: 【Me too.】

Shangguan Ting: 【Ugh! Why didn't you answer me?】

Zhao Chi: 【I'll head over to you later.】

Shangguan Ting: 【Hmph!】

Closed the system.

They were now in the true frontline zone; the number of people around had clearly increased.

There were many soldiers and pedestrians.

The four women behind Zhao Chi attracted a lot of attention.

Occasionally, they encountered familiar faces—all White Tiger Corps lords.

Both sides exchanged brief greetings and then parted ways.

Soon, Zhao Chi saw Li Ruanyu and Su Qin rapidly approaching from the south.

Though days had passed, they remained as stunningly beautiful as ever.

Li Ruanyu wore a uniform, beneath which was the fashion Zhao Chi had designed.

Her long black hair fluttered in the wind.

A gentle smile graced her soft face.

She looked perfect in this professional attire—absolutely the ideal model; no other woman had her particular aura.

Su Qin's outfit matched Li Ruanyu's exactly, except her long braid was tied behind her head.

Unlike Li Ruanyu's gentle smile, Su Qin beamed brightly.

She wore nearly the same as Li Ruanyu, but she looked like a fresh office recruit.

She didn't match the outfit as perfectly as Li Ruanyu did, but her youthful radiance made her a beautiful sight too.

Li Ruanyu rushed forward first.

She instinctively wanted to embrace Zhao Chi, but quickly remembered this was the Great World, and others were around.

Though not a celebrity, Li Ruanyu was Deputy Commander-in-Chief and could still be called a public figure.

Wherever she went, she drew attention.

Including now.

She could only suppress her inner impulse, while Zhao Chi maintained a subtle distance.

But Su Qin didn't need to.

She was Zhao Chi's publicly acknowledged concubine.

So she practically leapt into Zhao Chi's arms, with no hesitation at all.

Li Ruanyu felt a touch of envy.

Su Qin held Zhao Chi tightly.

"Oh my, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much."

"I have too," Zhao Chi replied, hugging her tightly in return.

Li Ruanyu's gaze burned with longing; Zhao Chi knew she wanted to say the same thing, but they were in public, so she couldn't.

She turned instead to Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya.

"Gu Qing, Zhuang Ya, long time no see—wait, you two…"

Li Ruanyu clearly froze.

Her eyes filled with astonishment.

"In just a few days, you've both become this beautiful?"

Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya smiled and greeted her.

Li Ruanyu then looked at Tang Ruan and Qi Yue; both remained lovely, but clearly paled beside Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya.

Su Qin reluctantly let go of Zhao Chi.

She immediately greeted Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya.

She, like Li Ruanyu, also wore an expression of surprise.

Gu Qing smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Su Qin? Do you also think Zhuang Ya and I look a bit better?"

Su Qin shook her head and said, "It's not just a bit better; you are stunningly beautiful."

Zhuang Ya laughed, "That's too exaggerated. There are some things here... it's not convenient to discuss them here. Shall we talk when we get back?"

Li Ruanyu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's not convenient to speak here. Let's go back first. Follow me."

The group followed Li Ruanyu back to Tieqiao Village at a rapid pace.

Li Ruanyu introduced things as they walked.

"To the southeast of Tieqiao Village is Binghe County. Now, besides our squadron, the Star and Flame squadrons are also stationed here.

"To the northeast of Tieqiao Village is Qingyu Village. Shangguan Ting and the others are over there, along with the Steel Eagle and Eternal squadrons.

"Basically, every village has three squadrons, and every town has two general detachments.

"The population density is not small, and the formation energy is not very sufficient.

"However, you will definitely be within the range of the formation.

"This is certainly not favoritism, but because you are my Zhili lord, you have the right to be under the protection of the formation just like me."

Li Ruanyu is now the deputy commander of the general detachment, so she is responsible for all matters in Tieqiao Village.

She is the local supreme commander, so of course she must be within the protection of the formation.

Even if it is only a village-level formation.

As she spoke, the group entered Tieqiao Village.

The village is not large, but there are many people inside.

Defense towers can be seen everywhere.

Tall stone walls have also been built around the entire village.

This far exceeds the defense level of a normal village.

But this is a frontline village, so it must be done this way.

During combat, battles will not only take the form of territory fighting; it is also very likely that they will fight directly in the Great World.

However, summoning soldiers consumes formation energy, and the stronger the soldiers, the more energy is consumed.

Both sides are almost unlikely to summon large numbers of soldiers to the Great World, after all, both sides have been in a state of war for a long time, formation energy consumption is quite severe, and neither side has much surplus energy.

Even if they summon, they can only summon a limited number of troops.

Moreover, once soldiers are summoned, the number of soldiers in the territory decreases, and the combat power of the territory will drop.

So it is all the same.

Unless there are special strategic tactics, large-scale summoning of soldiers rarely happens.

But even so, defenses must be set up.
