Chapter 3124: Battle (7)

Soon, Imagawa Chisa returned with several hundred werewolf lords.

Looking thoroughly dejected.

Each and every one of them crestfallen and listless.

Deputy Captain Oshima Oroyō was also hiding among the ranks, neck shrunk in, looking utterly terrified.

They stopped between the White Tiger Regiment headquarters and Wang Xiao's main force, and did not continue fleeing south.

Probably too afraid to run any further.

They appeared to have come back on their own, but in reality they had been escorted back by Jin Xin.

After all, this was nearly an entire werewolf main force—there would be quite a haul of spoils.

Even if Jin Xin's main target wasn't the werewolves, how could she let meat already at her lips slip away?

Imagawa Chisa's face was ashen; moments ago he had dared to negotiate with Yao Feng, but now he didn't dare utter a single word.

There's nothing to negotiate.

He was willing to give the White Tiger Regiment one squadron as spoils, but now the nobles had also come—and two of them at that. How could he possibly pay?

His entire main force had become spoils itself.

He had no idea what was going on, still assuming these two noble main forces were reinforcements Yao Feng had called in.

Assuming they had all come for him.

Imagawa Chisa truly wished he were dead.

But he was both terrified and bewildered.

He couldn't fathom what ability he possessed that would draw three elite main forces to encircle and annihilate him.

If Yao Feng wanted to beat me, would she need to call in two noble forces?

Holy shit—am I actually this strong?

This kind of treatment shouldn't be borne by a regiment commander level? Why is it falling on a mere main force captain like me?

In a daze, Imagawa Chisa actually felt a twinge of gratitude…

Gratitude at being taken seriously by the enemy.

Too bad there was no chance left.

The werewolf lords were also covered in dust and dirt; they were all battle-hardened lords, normally each one radiating imposing authority.

But now, they were utterly like stray dogs without a home.

Right after, Jin Xin arrived, clad in a suit of dazzling, magnificent, enormous armor.

Fortunately she couldn't perform equipment fusion—otherwise she might have displayed an entire outfit of fashion…

By now, Zhao Chi could also guess the current situation.

With the return of the imperial elite, the nobles' confidence had returned to them once more.

In their view, werewolves without support would only grow weaker, while the nobles, as the imperial lords' strength rapidly recovered, would seize the initiative.

So letting some werewolves go truly didn't matter—the White Tiger Regiment was the priority.

The White Tiger Regiment was the strongest regiment of the World-Breaking Army; taking out its leadership would greatly weaken the World-Breaking Army's strength.

The World-Breaking Army was also the nobles' enemy and had to be eliminated in the end.

But the most important thing wasn't weakening the World-Breaking Army—it was eliminating Yao Feng and Zhao Chi.

As long as Yao Feng and Zhao Chi were gone, the World-Breaking Army couldn't continue to grow stronger at such a rapid pace.

This encirclement battle was the perfect opportunity!

The entire World-Breaking Army was fighting the werewolves; although they held the advantage on most battlefields, they were temporarily unable to disengage and come back to reinforce Yao Feng.

Right now, Yao Feng's regiment headquarters was an isolated force.

Even if some troops could reinforce her, the number couldn't be too many, and they absolutely wouldn't be a match for Jin Xin plus Wang Xiao.

Besides, they truly couldn't allow Yao Feng to continue on like this any longer.

Jin Xin, Wang Xiao, and the other nobles all knew how dangerous Yao Feng and Zhao Chi were.

In just this one week, Yao Feng had used premium fashion to siphon off an absolutely enormous amount of various resources from the nobles.

Including weapons, equipment, fashion, medicine, energy, materials, and even various noble technology licenses.

How could this be allowed?

Give them a little more time, and the entire World-Breaking Army would become a genuine threat.

The nobles certainly didn't want to barely drive off the werewolves only to have a massive and powerful World-Breaking Army grow in their place.

Absolutely not!

Right now the nobles' focus wasn't on the werewolves—at least not at this very moment. It was seizing the opportunity to utterly eliminate Yao Feng and Zhao Chi.

Of course, if they could capture them, they absolutely would.

If Yao Feng and Zhao Chi could be used by the nobles, the nobles would naturally be willing to absorb them—of course, under house arrest.

But if that wouldn't work, they had to be killed decisively.

Cut off the threat forever.

Zhao Chi had considered that revealing his technology would invite danger, but at that time White Grass City had just collapsed, the werewolves were about to receive massive reinforcements, and it was already a matter of life and death—he had no choice but to do so.
