Chapter 3014

Yao Feng said with some pride, "Over the past two days, using myself as bait, we've set up a trap and have already lured in and eliminated 2 nation-level lords, as well as 8 state-level lords, with even more at the prefecture and county levels."

"Holy crap! Nation-level! The werewolves sent someone of that caliber!?"

"How about that? Not bad, right?"

"More than not bad!"

These were two nation-level werewolves that got eliminated!

What a great thing!

Nation-level is equivalent to someone like Yao Feng, a regiment commander level.

On the werewolves' side, that would be around the level of a captain-general or vice captain-general.

Absolutely top-tier werewolves in terms of strength.

Eliminating two of them is a genuinely huge gain.

Before, during the evacuation battle, quite a few werewolves were killed, but no nation-level werewolves were slain at that time either.

Now two have been cut down in a row — not a small haul.

Even if our side took some losses, it was absolutely worth it.

Not to mention there were also 8 state-level werewolves as a bonus — all of them were also very powerful werewolf lords.

You could say we made out like bandits!

A localized great victory!

But from another angle, the life Yao Feng has been living these past few days was truly too dangerous.

She had to be careful at every turn.

After all, it was nation-level werewolves that came.

Although they've won now, at the time, if there had been even one slip-up, wouldn't the one to die have been Yao Feng?

Although the powerful werewolf lords have been dealt with for now, what about afterward?

There will definitely be more afterward!

How could the werewolves just let it go?

The werewolves have not only failed to eliminate the great threat that is Yao Feng and Zhao Chi, but have also lost such powerful lords — if they gave up now, their sunk costs would simply be too high.

If they later kill Yao Feng and Zhao Chi, then these losses would be entirely acceptable.

Emotionally, rationally, or in terms of tactics and strategy, Yao Feng and Zhao Chi both must die.

They must die!!

Zhao Chi's original thinking was still a bit too simple…

Back then, he had wanted to rely on his extremely strong self-preservation ability, plus his huge number of hidden territories, and figured it was fine even if he was exposed.

Even if werewolves came to attack, he could escape with his life.

Moreover, the werewolves couldn't possibly launch a full-scale assault.

But looking at it now, the werewolves really won't launch a full-scale assault, but they will send such powerful lords to carry out a direct decapitation strike.

A few days ago, he had assumed that the level-70-plus werewolf assassins he'd observed were already the cream of the crop.

After all, they had nearly killed Li Ruanyu.

Looking at it now… he had underestimated the werewolves.

He was far too inexperienced!

However…

He simply hadn't expected the werewolves to be this ruthless.

But the decision to make the technology public was not wrong.

Even if Zhao Chi could choose again now, he would still choose to make it public.

Relying on himself alone to craft, he simply couldn't produce that much, and even if he ultimately won a pyrrhic victory over the werewolves, the nobles afterward couldn't be dealt with.

Strengthening the White Tiger Regiment, and even the World-Breaking Army, was something that had to be done.

The technology also had to be shared.

It really is a dilemma.

No wonder Yao Feng had insisted on giving him the Nüwa Stone fragment back then — that was a fragment-level item, one she used to protect her own life.

Yet she had forcibly stuffed it onto Zhao Chi.

Yao Feng, being experienced, knew that the level of danger Zhao Chi would face afterward would be very high, so she did so without the slightest hesitation.

Moreover, even after giving him the Nüwa Stone fragment, she still wasn't at ease, and later insisted on personally protecting him.

Honestly speaking, at the time Zhao Chi was still a little worried.

He worried that Yao Feng's motives weren't pure.

He worried that Yao Feng had also taken a fancy to his abilities, and so wanted to use this method to achieve a certain degree of "soft confinement" of him.

Looking at it now, he had been somewhat guilty of judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person back then.

Yao Feng was right.

Fortunately, Zhao Chi was personally protected by Yao Feng — otherwise, relying on himself alone to face nation-level werewolves… whether he could survive really wasn't certain.

Even if he did survive, he would absolutely have taken no small losses.

The female soldiers' casualties would absolutely not be few.

Although they can resurrect, it still takes over ten days of resurrection time, which would delay many things.

And losing soldiers is only the lightest consequence.

Even though he has all kinds of life-preserving means, plus the Nüwa Stone fragment and shards.

But in this world, tools and skills are bizarre and varied — who knows, the werewolves might have other methods.

A bit dangerous...

He's still too young after all.

But from another angle, the fact that the werewolves were willing to send two National-level Overlords personally to kill him shows just how much the werewolves value this!

The werewolves' current strategic objective is to hold their ground; once reinforcements arrive, their odds of winning are very high.

Yet they struck first, and it was National-level werewolf Overlords who struck personally — this shows the werewolves also feel Zhao Chi and Yao Feng are an enormous threat.

This proves Zhao Chi did the right thing.

What the enemy opposes must be what we're doing right.

What the enemy opposes desperately must be what we're doing very, very right.

What the enemy opposes at all costs must mean the degree to which we're right can already decide the outcome of this battle.

Although Zhao Chi feels a bit of lingering fear, he's now even more certain that his choice back then wasn't wrong.

But the werewolf attacks won't stop.

They'll get more and more dangerous.

He can only hope that Yao Feng will still achieve a smooth victory later...

Why does it feel so precarious?

Although Yao Feng is strong and her arrangements are thorough, she's ultimately in the open, while the werewolves are in the dark.

Yao Feng is still very much on the back foot.

Zhao Chi started worrying again.

Such an important matter, a life-and-death matter — and he only just found out about it now...

Something so major happened outside, yet Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting didn't say a word?

No wonder Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting both looked a bit tired these past two days — Zhao Chi had assumed they were just worn out from missions.

Maybe they also took part in the fighting?

No, the two of them must have taken part in the fighting.

But neither said a single word to Zhao Chi.

Those two women's lips are really tight...

Every night they moan like that, yet they never breathed a word about the danger outside.

Zhao Chi knows the two of them were afraid Zhao Chi would worry and be affected unnecessarily, so they didn't tell him — they were looking out for him.

After all, the two of them are only a few years older than Zhao Chi. Although they've completely taken the shape of Zhao Chi's preferences, they're both older-sister-type women capable of holding their own, who will proactively consider things on Zhao Chi's behalf.

They'll proactively care for and look after him.

In bed they're very dependent on Zhao Chi, willingly going along with whatever he wants.

But after all, they're also two female Deputy Captains.
