Chapter 659

Tang Ruan chased after him with a face full of regret, looking a little lost.

Her armor still had plenty of durability left; her body hadn't taken any damage at all.

For her, not taking damage was, in itself, a kind of damage.

How could that be acceptable?

Although Zhao Chi knew her talent was special, he couldn't bring himself to truly hurt her.

At most, he'd go hard at her in bed.

Most of the time, Tang Ruan still took injuries during ordinary training to satisfy her talent's bonus.

But training couldn't possibly produce serious wounds.

Only combat would do.

Only enemies would do.

Who would have thought that Tang Ruan, such a delicate little woman, was actually a battle maniac at heart.

Moreover, through training and combat, she understood her own limits even more clearly.

She fought with even more ease and room to spare.

Besides, she still had some of Zhao Chi's inherited energy points stored within her body, which could instantly strengthen her when necessary.

It could also serve as her life-saving trump card.

Tang Ruan looked left and right; the enemy had truly entered the forest and vanished.

Zhao Chi was also looking left and right.

But he saw Gu Qing returning.

She gently suggested, "My lord, the woods are too dangerous. Although they limit the elves' line of sight and range, they limit ours just the same. If a stray shot hits your head by accident, you could be in danger, and then this battle of ours would be lost."

Zhao Chi felt a little wistful.

When he had just been building the territory, he had still been thinking of using the knowledge he'd learned over the past two years, and the swordsmanship he'd trained, to protect these female villagers first.

Yet in less than a month, he had completely become a drag.

He simply couldn't keep up with these female soldiers' footsteps at all.

In a normal battle, he could still use the body piloting technique to enter their bodies.

But in this kind of open battle, he really could only watch, and his usefulness was greatly diminished.

It seemed he needed to find some genetic modifications for himself.

But that was all for later.

What needed to be done now was to win this battle first.

Zhao Chi nodded and said, "What you say makes sense. I won't enter the woods."

Gu Qing said, "Not only must you not enter the woods, you also need to return to our territory stone. You can't stay on this grassland. After all, those elves' range is too far; I'm afraid they'll circle around and attack you."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Alright, but this way I won't be able to use Lightning Flash to support you, nor use Blissful Berserk to strengthen you all."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "It really is a pity. Blissful Berserk doesn't actually consume energy in this virtual space, yet it lets me enjoy your magnificent style all over again, my lord. But it's fine; once the battle is won, you'll definitely let me experience a whole new feeling, won't you? Leave the command up ahead to me."

How did she get onto that topic?

It seemed personality's influence was huge.

Zhao Chi nodded. "I will. The battle up ahead is yours—go all out! If you can't find the elves, go straight for the enemy's territory stone. This kind of battle mode was destined to be unable to produce a real guerrilla fight."

"Mm, I understand." Gu Qing smiled, spoke softly, then said to the female spearmen beside her, "You four, protect my lord well."

"Don't worry, Sister Gu."

"He's our lord too, of course. We'll give it our all."

"Sister Gu Qing, you go fight without worry. We'll treat ourselves as my lord's shield."

"That's right, we are my lord's shield and armor!"

The four female soldiers spoke with absolute resolve.

After all, although they didn't exactly have feelings for Zhao Chi, their loyalty was very high; there was no doubt about that.

Gu Qing said with a beaming smile, "Good, I trust you little ones. My lord, then I won't take up any more of your time; hurry back as well."

Zhao Chi nodded. "Alright, move out!"

Gu Qing left Zhao Chi with a soft, charming, radiant smile, then swiftly turned and left.

Zhao Chi raised a hand and pointed, applying 1 point of Blissful Berserk to both Gu Qing and Tang Ruan in the distance.

Letting them strengthen themselves within 10 seconds.

Tang Ruan's figure paused in the distance, and she turned her head back with a surprised expression.

Gu Qing's legs trembled even more.

"Oh my…"

Then she complained coquettishly, "My lord, you really are something…"

Zhao Chi had no intention of teasing them; he simply wanted them to have their stats boosted within these 10 seconds so they could rush into the woods as quickly as possible.

After all, a +2 to all attributes could greatly increase base movement speed.

But then again.

Zhao Chi was still quite willing to watch that expression on their faces.

Delicate brows slightly furrowed, a flying blush across their cheeks.

It was a kind of beautiful sight in its own right.
