Chapter 53

The obvious one in Zhao Chi's territory was a goblin camp.

Single goblins weren't hard to deal with.

The main thing was the enemy's overall numbers.

Now that those women's attributes had all recovered, they could go into battle.

Zhao Chi gave the order: "Everyone go find a handy tool, we're going to wipe out the goblins. Initial estimate is around 20-30 of them, don't be nervous."

The female villagers actually seemed excited when they heard there would be a fight.

They hurried off to grab weapons one after another.

Three women took hammers, three took fish spears, three took woodcutting axes.

Zhao Chi, Gu Qing, and Tang Ruan all carried machetes.

Some rope was also brought along, to bind prisoners when the time came.

No one took a hunting bow.

After all, dealing with a small number of goblins really didn't require a hunting bow.

These women's mental state was clearly different now.

All of them were eager to give it a try.

Compared to their sullen look just before the meal, they were a completely different picture.

Zhao Chi still tried asking: "Is anyone nervous? I can boost your morale and ease the tension."

The women looked at each other and all laughed.

"Lord, you mustn't underestimate us."

"That's right, we no longer have the negative effects of the newborn state now, no one's nervous."

"Don't worry, my lord. Just give the order and we'll charge in to kill the enemy without a moment's hesitation."

Zhao Chi nodded, then looked at Tang Ruan.

The Inspire status on her had long expired.

He wondered what she was thinking now.

Tang Ruan looked a little embarrassed: "My lord, you know too, I was just affected by the newborn state earlier, so I was a bit timid. But it's completely different now, rest assured. Whether it's killing enemies or taking hits, I'll do my best."

True to her race with the Fearless talent.

She really seemed to fear nothing.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Good, then let's set off right now."

"Set off!"

The women raised their weapons high and let out an inspiring cheer.

Their voices were clear and bright, carrying far.

Very good.

They really had spirit.

The direction that goblin had pointed to earlier was northwest.

The distance was roughly 3 kilometers.

Zhao Chi's current territory only covered 10 square kilometers.

Going 3 kilometers northwest would put them almost at the edge of the territory.

Transporting supplies later would be a bit of a hassle, since the distance wasn't short.

But it didn't matter.

These women all had 6 points of Strength, so they could carry quite a lot each trip.

The transport speed wouldn't be slow.

An ordinary person walking 3 kilometers would need about 35 minutes.

These women would probably need 20-30 minutes.

At a slow jog, they could definitely make it within 20 minutes.

At a full sprint, it could be cut down to under 12 minutes.

But... Zhao Chi couldn't.

Zhao Chi really hadn't expected that, in front of these female subjects, he was now the one with the lowest stats.
