Chapter 623

"Yes!"

"Everyone, use your skills!"

"Understood!"

Soon, all the female soldiers were enveloped by three kinds of enhancements.

Zhao Chi: Wind-Cloud Step, movement speed +10%, terrain adaptability +5%

Tang Ruan: Defend Firmly Technique, defense +10%

Qi Yue: Rapid Strike Technique, attack speed +10%

The group plunged into the forest.

A few minutes later, they burst out of the woods.

But unexpectedly, Cao Feng had also burst out of the woods, and met Zhao Chi at the central plaza.

This was considerably faster than any of the other opponents.

But Cao Feng was not directly ahead—instead, he had split his forces into two, one on the left and one on the right.

On the left were 20 Shadow Leopards, along with the Shadow Leopard hero, and the female elf hero on its back.

On the right were 26 Shadow Leopards, with Cao Feng also riding one of them.

Behind Cao Feng, there was also an orc hero riding a Shadow Leopard.

But the orc's build was rather large, and the Shadow Leopard was clearly straining somewhat, falling behind the others.

Cao Feng also saw Zhao Chi.

He was visibly startled.

Even a little panicked.

"Holy shit! How are Zhao Chi's people so fast too? Our plan's been exposed!"

The orc hero asked, "My lord, since it's like this, let's take them head-on! They're just a bunch of women—I can cut one down with a single slash."

Cao Feng cursed, "Fight my ass, we can't win. Didn't you see those women fighting the frenzied ghouls head-on last match? Those women are way too weird."

"I… I didn't see that… I can't see from inside the territory."

The orc hero looked a little aggrieved.

Cao Feng said, "If you didn't see it, just listen to me. Those women aren't something we can handle, and they're all wearing face coverings—who knows if they even have human faces underneath."

"Not human faces? Human bodies with beast heads?" The orc rolled his small eyes, thinking it over carefully.

Cao Feng shook his head: "How the hell would I know? Move, move, full speed ahead!"

"Our plan's been exposed—can we still push forward?"

"It's fine, we charge at full speed, they can't catch up at all. Move!"

Cao Feng used some unknown skill, and a flash of blue lit up across all the Shadow Leopards' bodies.

Their speed suddenly increased a notch.

They paid no attention to Zhao Chi's army, sprinting at full speed past both sides.

Gu Qing asked, "My lord, are they trying to attack the Territory Stone directly?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "That's right. How's our speed? Can we outpace them?"

Gu Qing said, "You said before that Shadow Leopards have a very fast burst speed, but can't sustain it for long. I don't know if this is their burst speed right now, but they are indeed faster than us. But when we push at full speed, the Duyebu Society won't be much slower."

Zhao Chi thought briefly: "Tang Ruan, take the female spearmen back to defend! Your job is to draw the Shadow Leopards' attention, don't let them focus their full attack on the Territory Stone. Gu Qing, Qi Yue, you two take the other female soldiers at full speed forward and destroy the enemy's Territory Stone!"

"Understood!"

The several female heroes immediately split their forces.

Gu Qing's long legs had already kicked into motion, but she suddenly turned back: "My lord, what about you?"

Zhao Chi pointed ahead: "I'll go forward with you, but don't wait for me—full speed ahead."

Gu Qing looked around.

She saw all the Shadow Leopards charging at full speed, showing no sign of wanting to fight.

But even so, it wasn't safe.

After all, Zhao Chi was the lord.

If he fell, everything would be over.

Although those Shadow Leopards most likely wouldn't turn back to gang up on Zhao Chi, even the slightest chance made it unsafe.

Gu Qing reached out her hand: "My lord, give me your hand, I'll pull you along."

Zhao Chi asked: "How much will it affect your speed?"

Gu Qing smiled: "If I were charging alone, it would affect me some, but if I'm with the main force, it won't affect me at all. My agility is already 1 point higher than theirs, so pulling you along is just about right."

Zhao Chi no longer hesitated and took Gu Qing's hand.

Warm and soft.

But the next moment, Gu Qing gripped Zhao Chi's hand firmly in return, and he could feel something both soft and hard.

Zhao Chi immediately felt a pulling force come through.

Gu Qing laughed lightly: "How is it, my lord? Can you keep your balance?"

"No problem, let's go!"

Gu Qing nodded: "Alright, full speed ahead, destroy the enemy's Territory Stone!"

"Understood!"

Suddenly, wind rose from flat ground.

Gu Qing's other hand flickered with light.

She directed the wind to blow continuously at the female soldiers' backs, making them a little faster.

Zhao Chi didn't want to drag them down too much, so he began activating the energy of Extreme Bliss Berserk.

Anyway, there was plenty of energy; once the battle ended he could recover.

It didn't matter even if he burned it all.

Strange radiance bloomed across his whole body.

This feeling of twisting and squeezing… without needing to check, he knew the energy came from Gu Qing.

All of Zhao Chi's attributes were +1, temporarily reaching the female soldiers' base attributes.

But without the speed bonus from stockings, Zhao Chi's overall speed was still quite a bit worse than theirs.

However, Gu Qing's strength was extraordinarily great and her speed extremely fast; pulling Zhao Chi along, she really could match the female soldiers' speed.

The one at the very front was Qi Yue.

Since this was an assault advance, Qi Yue didn't wait for the others.

Relying on her 8 points of Agility, she rapidly broke away from the group and charged fiercely forward.

Tang Ruan led the female spearmen, rushing back at full speed to reinforce.

They didn't know any charge skills, so they could only burn stamina and sprint with all their might.

A few minutes later, Tang Ruan returned to the front of the Territory Stone.

The Shadow Panthers hadn't arrived yet.

After all, Tang Ruan's route was a straight line, the shortest distance. Cao Feng's Shadow Panthers, meanwhile, were flanking from both sides—a curved route, much longer.

Tang Ruan panted: "Take the medicine!"

"Yes!" The female soldiers also panted as they swallowed the medicine.

Thud Thud Thud!

Just over ten seconds later.

The sound of a large number of footsteps came.

Several dozen Shadow Panthers, bodies pitch-black, burst out of the forest.

Tang Ruan ordered: "You guard this spot to the death, don't let the enemy attack the Territory Stone. I'll lure the enemy away a bit."

"Understood."

Tang Ruan charged back into the forest, leaving behind three streaks of purple light.

The light shot out at high speed, covering Cao Feng's entire force.

The Shadow Panthers braked sharply, staring at Tang Ruan in surprise.

Cao Feng snarled: "Still using Taunt at a time like this? Dispel it!"

"Yes!" Cao Feng's female Elf hero removed the Taunt.

The Shadow Panthers froze for a beat, then turned their heads back to stare at the Territory Stone.
