Chapter 3154
Even now, he hadn't seen where the Naga were.
Weren't the Naga the main race?
Why hadn't they appeared yet?
Could it be that Jin Cheng thought he could win by relying on those 3,000 strong orcs and 2,000 elves?
He certainly had the capital for it, but wasn't this too arrogant?
With Jin Xin valuing him so much, he shouldn't be someone so arrogant, right?
Zhao Chi observed with suspicion.
Could it be... that the Naga were all in those large lakes and rivers?
Right!
That must be it.
The Naga were an aquatic race; they could survive well on land, but they preferred being in the water.
If one were raising a small number of Naga, it wouldn't matter at all.
Jin Cheng, whose main race was the Naga, would definitely have to set up a living environment for them according to their habits.
So they were definitely in those waters.
Being in the water didn't matter either.
Zhao Chi was not afraid of water battles.
The four Eternal races all possessed the "Water Affinity" gene, which granted an additional +1 to all attributes while in the water.
Furthermore, they also had the "Underwater Breathing" gene, so drowning was simply not a possibility.
Additionally, there was the "Lubricated Skin" gene, which meant there was almost no resistance when moving in water, making it no different from being on land.
If they really were to fight in the water, he should have all the female soldiers wear those ultra-thin one-piece swimsuits to maximize their combat effectiveness in the water.
Not many one-piece swimsuits had been made, but one set for every female soldier was no problem; wearing them would make resistance almost non-existent, save a massive amount of physical stamina, and provide excellent warmth.
Perhaps they were even better suited for underwater combat than the Naga.
But it didn't matter.
Although there were many lakes in Jin Cheng's territory, the main terrain was still grassy plains, so the current outfit would suffice.
Whoosh—
Pfft-whoosh—
Several harpies and griffins swept past from a hundred meters in the air.
They were flying too high, and they likely hadn't even considered that Zhao Chi and his group were already at the border line; their eyes were fixed on the center of Zhao Chi's territory, and they flew past without the slightest awareness.
Looking down from above, Zhao Chi's 18,000 female soldiers were completely blended into the environment; if it were just a few female soldiers, it might be easier to distinguish, but with so many together, they were simply invisible.
Added to that, the female soldiers' all-black outfits allowed them to better hide themselves in the night; although the black silk stockings on their fair, long legs were ultra-thin, they were black after all, and from a distance, they were still hard to see clearly.
But the main reason was still that they were flying too high.
If they were any lower, they would have been able to see the situation below directly, or even smell the thick, warm fragrance of the entire area below.
But there was no help for it; flying in the darkness did indeed require flying higher to ensure their own safety.
Whoosh—
Dozens more flew past from a hundred meters up, still failing to discover the female soldiers standing silently below.
Zhao Chi and his group all remained silent.
Although they were anxious to support Li Li Ruanyu and the others, this was their first time engaging an enemy with over 1 million combat power, so it was better to be cautious.
Observe more.
Besides, it had only been 3 minutes since the battle started, so there was still plenty of time.
The skills had already been cast in advance and could all last for 1 to 2 hours, so they weren't afraid of the light from the skills exposing their position.
No rush; they had at least that much patience.
And they had to have it.
Zhao Chi and the 18,000 female soldiers observed the front silently.
Jin Cheng clearly didn't know that Zhao Chi and his group were already at the border line, and they were still silently watching him. Jin Cheng was still commanding the strong orc army to advance rapidly, and their speed was not slow.
1 minute later.
The strong orc army passed the first large lake, and Jin Cheng shouted in a strange tone, causing the lake water to immediately boil.
Zhao Chi observed carefully and realized it wasn't boiling, but rather a large number of Naga rising from the water, making it look like the lake surface was boiling.
The Naga were indeed in the water; it seemed his guess was correct.
100... 500... 1000...
A full 1,000 Naga warriors clad in silver armor swam ashore.
Looking at these 1,000 Naga alone, 300 of them had 6 arms, 700 had 4 arms, and he didn't see any Naga with only two arms.
Perhaps these were the elites?
Their armor didn't have any glow; it was just a simple metallic color.
Compared to the orcs' flashy equipment, it was simply plain and unadorned.
But their equipment couldn't possibly be without enchantments; the Naga must have actively deactivated them.
However, Zhao Chi could still tell that they were wearing heavy armor.
And it was super-improved grade heavy armor.
The upper body wore heavy armor for large human females, including helmets and gauntlets.
The lower body armor was custom-made, like a flexible semi-circular sleeve that could fit well onto the Naga's snake back.
Only the Naga's snake belly had no extra armor, as they needed to rely on their bellies to move.
Theoretically, that was the most vulnerable part.
But the problem was that no one could hit it.
To reach the Naga's bellies, one would first have to break through the weapons in their 4 or 6 hands. One would basically be smashed to pieces by them first.
Don't let the Naga's upper bodies, which resembled human females, fool you; they were essentially cold-blooded animals, more like giant pythons coiled together, with immense strength, and they absolutely could not be underestimated.
Soon, all 1,000 Naga warriors arrived on the shore.
Their thick, blue-green tails dragged long water trails, and the entire lakeside became somewhat muddy.
But the strong orcs didn't care; their thick combat boots stepped heavily into the mud, and mud splattered continuously between the strong orcs' boots and leg armor.
Jin Cheng then emitted another strange tone.
It must have been issuing an order.
Immediately after, all the surrounding lakes showed intense fluctuations.
One Naga warrior after another emerged, especially from that large river, from which 5,000 emerged.
Adding all the Naga together, there were approximately 15,000.
Among them, 5,000 were 6-armed Naga, and 10,000 were 4-armed Naga.
It could be said that they were all elites.
Still no 2-armed Naga.
It was impossible for there to be none.
Perhaps Jin Cheng thought that for this kind of battle, 2-armed Naga weren't needed, so he let them continue resting in the water?
The Naga warriors looked somewhat thin standing beside the strong orcs, and their armor was a size smaller than theirs, but their snake-like eyes were full of fighting spirit, and with their extra arms, their combat power should be even more formidable than the strong orcs.
Moreover, they were Jin Cheng's main race and should have undergone many powerful genetic modifications; the strong orcs looked sturdier, but the Naga should be the more formidable ones.
After the Naga warriors joined the army, Jin Cheng's formation appeared somewhat scattered.
The Naga race was clearly difficult to arrange into a neat formation.
But they didn't stop to reorganize; instead, they continued to advance rapidly.
The distance was getting closer and closer.
Although there was still a distance of several kilometers, Zhao Chi could already hear them talking.
A golden-armored adjutant asked: "My lord, the enemy's combat power is only 90,000; do we need to mobilize so many elites?"
Jin Cheng snorted: "This battle is very special; we must capture the enemy lord Zhao Chi! Just as I said before, surround the enemy first and do not attack; wait for my orders for everything. If anyone acts rashly or accidentally injures the enemy lord, I will skin them alive!"
"Yes! It has already been emphasized; even if the enemy strikes first, we will try our best to defend and not retaliate."
Jin Cheng asked: "And the second half of the order?"
"Oh, oh, the second half has of course been conveyed as well: after capturing Zhao Chi, immediately kill everyone, including that female lord and all the territory residents, and end the battle as quickly as possible to leave this place!"
Jin Cheng nodded: "Correct! Remind every captain again: before entering the opponent's territory in a moment, light up all light sources. The light duration is limited; capture Zhao Chi as quickly as possible. I'm just afraid he'll see the disparity in our strength and hide." ===== CHAPTER 3155 =====
