Chapter 451: Plundering Supplies

The harpies flapped their wings.

They vied to answer Zhao Chi's question.

"Stone wall, gak."

"Lots of humans, gak."

"All stupid, gak."

"Don't look like enemies, gak."

"Look like they can't fight, gak."

"Humans working, gak."

There were actually still this many humans?

And a stone wall too?

Humans' stats weren't outstanding, but if they were well-trained soldiers who brought out their full strength, their combat power wasn't bad either.

Zhao Chi was slightly worried.

Not that he feared losing — just that he'd be held up again.

But hearing the rest, Zhao Chi relaxed.

The harpies said they were stupid, didn't look like enemies, couldn't fight, and were working.

Those were probably the humans engaged in production within Zhao Ji's territory.

These ordinary human craftsmen really couldn't fight — they truly weren't much good in a fight.

Any one of these Taoyuan women could take on several of them without trouble.

"Good, understood. Keep patrolling the area, and raise the alarm the moment you spot an enemy."

"Understood, gak."

"Okay, gak."

The harpies beat their wings and scattered off in all directions.

Zhao Chi and the others advanced at full speed for over ten minutes, and in the distance they saw a stone wall.

On the stone wall there was very bright light, but not the yellow glow of torches — it was a slightly pale-bluish white light.

Those lights also had a very wide illumination range, much greater than ordinary torches.

But still not as bright as Zhao Chi's ultra-bright torch.

However, that light didn't flicker like a torch's — it was extremely steady.

Spirit-energy lamps!

Spirit-energy lamps weren't rare — the Academy was full of them.

They just required a continuous expenditure of spirit energy, so the cost was high.

But seeing spirit-energy lamps in Zhao Ji's territory was perfectly reasonable — he was a noble, after all.

Where there were spirit-energy lamps, there were spirit-energy stones.

Grab every last one of them back.

Soon, the group approached the stone wall.

The harpies flew very high.

Now that there was light, they could fly a little higher to observe.

"No enemies on the wall, gak."

"Safe, safe, gak."

Zhao Chi also saw that the great gate in the stone wall was open, not shut.

It seemed that Zhao Ji was very confident, certain no one would dare invade his territory.

Which made sense — ordinary nobles certainly felt perfectly safe, except for those who had been taught a lesson by the resistance.

That saved Zhao Chi and the others some trouble.

The group rushed through the great gate at speed.

Inside, it was even more brightly lit.

Spirit-energy lamps covered a vast stretch of buildings.

At regular intervals, there stood a spirit-energy tower.

The spirit-energy towers weren't tall; on top sat a spirit-energy stone, supplying energy to all the nearby spirit-energy lamps.

"My lord, careful — someone."

Gu Qing pointed to the left.
