Chapter 755

The elves were at a severe disadvantage in close combat against the beastfolk.

But the elves were still gritting their teeth and holding on, all to create the best firing conditions for the elves on the defense towers.

Why does it feel like the villagers are killing each other on this battlefield?

Why is the proportion of soldiers so small?

Where did all the soldiers go?

But the next second, Zhao Chi understood.

The soldiers were all on the ground.

The ground was covered with corpses.

Most of them were female elves—fair-skinned severed arms and mangled limbs in various pieces of iron armor were scattered haphazardly across the ground.

Some goblins were crouched on their still-warm corpses, gnawing on them—perhaps they had improved their corpse-eating genes?

There were also some human corpses on the ground.

He didn't know where those humans had come from, but they were all wearing iron armor, and there were no arrows on their bodies, so they should have been Su Qin's soldiers, specifically used for close combat.

But now they were all dead, so close combat could only rely on the female elves.

There were quite a few beastfolk and goblin corpses as well.

Most were wearing iron and leather armor.

But now they too had become corpses or chunks of flesh, trampled underfoot.

The corpses stretched from the distance all the way to the current front line.

It could be seen that Su Qin and the others were also fighting while retreating.

This battle was indeed fought quite fiercely.

Soldiers on both sides died in large numbers, and civilians were also thrown into the battlefield to continue fighting.

In just a few seconds, Zhao Chi had taken in the entire battlefield situation.

"Gu Qing, immediately go assist with healing, no need to hold back."

"Understood, I'll go right now."

Gu Qing had also seen the situation on the battlefield; she had long been unable to restrain herself.

Hearing Zhao Chi's words, she immediately charged forward, and the healing light from her hands instantly activated.

"Tang Ruan, lead the spearmen in a charge from the left side to share the pressure on our allies. There are more beastfolk concentrated over there, quite a number, but the proportion of soldiers isn't high, so you shouldn't be in danger, but you still need to be careful!"

Tang Ruan heard that there were quite a few beastfolk, and couldn't help feeling delighted.

"Understood, my lord, I'll draw all those beastfolk over. Sisters, follow me!"

Tang Ruan charged out at the forefront.

"Qi Yue, there are large numbers of goblins on the right side, they might have corpse-eating abilities, but there are also many civilians among them, so their combat power shouldn't be strong. You lead the saber troops to cut in from the right side, quick victory!"

"Roger! Follow me!"

Qi Yue shot out like an arrow, and the blades on her three arms emitted a silver gleam.

"You archers, get up on the towers, follow the elves' commands up there, shoot wherever they tell you to shoot."

"Yes!"

Twenty female archers climbed up the nearby defense towers and began auxiliary fire.

Su Qin frowned as she looked at Zhao Chi.

The instant Zhao Chi came to provide support, she had received a system notification.

But she wasn't particularly happy about it.

Instead, she was deeply worried: "Zhao Chi, why did you come? The fighting here isn't something you can participate in, hurry and leave."

Zhao Chi said: "You're already at such a disadvantage, stop wasting words. Briefly explain, what's the situation? How did you end up fighting like this? A command error?"

Su Qin said discontentedly: "The Elder Chief values you highly, we can all feel it. If something happens to you here, I won't be able to answer to him. Hurry and leave this place, don't let those soldiers of yours die for nothing."

Zhao Chi looked at her in confusion.

"We're at death's door, and you're still worrying about this?"

Su Qin pushed him away: "At worst I'll just abandon the territory, I'll escape on my own in a bit, but right now I must continue to wear down the enemy a bit more."

Zhao Chi roared: "Su Qin! What you need to do is immediately report the battlefield and enemy situation, what are you rambling on about? Speak up!!"

Zhao Chi's roar came so suddenly that Su Qin flinched in fright.

She sighed and said quickly:

"Alright, we still have over 1,200 people on our side, of which only 136 elf archers remain, the rest are all civilians.

"I originally had 100 human warriors responsible for close combat, but they were all slaughtered by the beastfolk.

"On the left is Gao Di's beastfolk, their soldiers also only number over 100, the other 400 beastfolk are all civilians.

"On the right, Han Er's goblins are numerous, roughly over 900 goblin soldiers, the remaining 1,700 are also civilians.

"You were right, the goblins all have corpse-eating skills.

"Moreover, after eating corpses, they all enter a frenzied state, their morale is very high, no longer collapsing as easily as ordinary goblins, instead their desire to fight is very strong.

"Those beastfolk also all have berserk skills, fighting head-on is very fierce, very hard to resist.

"Originally I wanted to fight while retreating, using ranged attacks to wear down the enemy.

"But frenzy and berserk both increase their movement speed, so we can't employ that kind of tactic.

"So I can only fight a positional battle here.

"At least there are still defense towers and buildings providing some protection.

"But defeat is only a matter of time.

"Why are all your soldiers female?

"And why pick such good-looking ones?

"When those goblins see good-looking women, their Shiqi Society will be stronger.

"And you only have 100 soldiers, it's completely useless. While they haven't engaged yet, you can withdraw them.

"Leave now, or your female soldiers will all die too."
