Chapter 757

The elven heroine Dani on the defense tower said: "Only 11 points left, enough for one more use at most. My potion resistance already maxed out, I can't replenish spiritual power through potions. But many of our sisters are wounded — are you sure you want to save it for Lord Zhao Chi?"

Su Qin sighed: "Save it for him…"

"Understood." Dani stared at Zhao Chi, then looked at the wounded elven women with a pang of heartache.

At that moment, light flared up ahead.

Over a dozen healing beams descended from the sky, covering the elven women.

Several hundred elven women were restored.

Dani's tightly clenched fists loosened a little.

The despair in Su Qin's eyes faded a fraction.

After recovering, the elven women immediately threw themselves back into battle.

"Phew~ Dani finally recovered her spiritual power. Sisters, keep fighting!"

"That was close — I almost thought I'd die here. Damn those goblins, die!"

"That's not Dani's skill — it's reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements? I see them too — it's a human woman using a healing technique. The reinforcements are here!"

"Excellent, we have hope! Attack!"

At the rear of the battlefield, two rebel lords also noticed Zhao Chi's reinforcements.

From the moment Zhao Chi entered the area, they had received a system notification.

【Enemy: Village-level Lord Zhao Chi, Human, Combat Power 135, has entered the battlefield】

Han Er snorted: "Gao Di, see that? A new village-level lord with 135 combat power just showed up. Combined with Su Qin, their combat power is a bit stronger than ours."

Gao Di laughed: "Hahaha, don't be ridiculous. Both of us have modified our races — the system can't detect it. Forget being a little stronger than us, even if they're 200 points higher, we can still win!"

Han Er said: "Tell your beastmen to be careful. That woman is mine — don't kill her."

"Which one? The one casting the healing technique?"

"That's right, can't you tell? That woman is truly a top-grade beauty — even a succubus can't compare to her looks, and that figure… Damn, where did that Zhao Chi guy get a female hero like her? What fucking luck."

"Didn't you want that elven woman called Dani?"

"Heh-heh, she's yours. I want this new one."

"Good, that's why I'm willing to work with you. You eat the meat, and at least I get some soup."

Han Er nodded at this: "Of course. Where there's benefit for me, there'll be some for you too. Same as before — don't report it to the captain and the others."

Gao Di pointed at his own nose: "I'm not stupid, am I? I know. You don't have to remind me every single time."

Han Er snorted: "Just afraid you'll be blinded by greed. An extra reminder won't hurt. Look — that woman actually used her healing technique over ten times in a row, her spiritual power drained in an instant. Seems she's just a vase who can't fight."

Gao Di said: "Isn't that even better? We've got this in the bag."

Su Qin had reached the same conclusion.

Zhao Chi and Gu Qing stood on a rooftop at the front line.

Su Qin charged over with her shield raised.

"Zhao Chi, don't use the healing technique like that. We're fighting a war of attrition — only heal the heavily wounded. Leave the lightly wounded for now. Otherwise we definitely can't outlast them. Don't forget they can replenish by eating corpses."

Gu Qing swallowed a spiritual power pill, then handed one to Su Qin: "Sister, don't worry. We have our own way of fighting. Take this to replenish."

Su Qin was a little surprised.

Gu Qing was Zhao Chi's subordinate, while Su Qin was a lord. Theoretically their statuses weren't equal — Gu Qing should have greeted her with proper etiquette when speaking.

But Zhao Chi was a member of the Zhao clan, his status a bit higher than Su Qin's, which elevated Gu Qing's standing as well.

Besides, they were all here to assist in the battle, so Su Qin didn't mind.

But even though she didn't mind, she found it a little odd.

Logically, Gu Qing should have known better.

If she lacked manners, it would be Zhao Chi who lost face — people would just think Zhao Chi was incapable, unable to control his subordinates.

Yet she didn't quite seem to be doing it on purpose.

Could it be that Zhao Chi had never explained these rules to her?

Why did it feel like Gu Qing didn't know any of this at all?

Moreover, an inexplicable aura emanated from Gu Qing, seemingly even faintly surpassing Zhao Chi's?

Gu Qing's hand was still extended.

Su Qin shook her head: "Thank you, but no need. My potion resistance already maxed out — there's nothing I can do now. I can only command from here…"

Gu Qing nodded and tucked the pill into Zhao Chi's mouth.

Zhao Chi naturally opened his mouth and took it.

Seeing this, Su Qin understood.

So that was how it was.

No wonder — this woman was simply too perfect.

But even so, he shouldn't indulge her so much…

Su Qin shook her head, casting aside these unimportant thoughts, and refocused her attention on the battlefield.

At that moment, she noticed the wind had picked up.

A long wind blew from behind.

It swept the sand and gravel from the ground, carrying the smell of blood away with it.

Gu Qing looked at Zhao Chi: "my lord?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Go ahead, fight freely."

Gu Qing smiled: "Alright."

In an instant, a large amount of pale-red silk pulp sprayed from her hands.

The silk pulp was like a red drizzle, splitting into two segments.

The front segment was clearly fine threads, indiscriminately covering the enemies' heads.

The rear segment was sticky red raindrops, all striking the elves.

Previously, Zhao Chi had some reservations and had never let Gu Qing use the silk-spraying ability in front of people.

But thinking about it now, there really wasn't much necessity to hide it.

After all, this was one of her important skills, and also a very important healing and crowd-control skill.

If Gu Qing wasn't allowed to use it, the restriction on her would be too great.

Moreover, when previously piloting Gu Qing out, this kind of skill had never been displayed either.

Showing it now didn't matter.

Besides, the Zhuding Society would inevitably fight more people later on, so it would have to be shown eventually.

After Gu Qing confirmed again with Zhao Chi, she cheerfully began to perform it.

Su Qin didn't know what this ability was, but she saw those injured spirits actually recover again and throw themselves back into battle.

Meanwhile, the enemies were wrapped by those very fine red threads, constantly pulling at their arms and legs, causing their movement speed and attack speed to seem to slow down a little.

It seemed this female hero called Gu Qing had a very rare skill.

On the battlefield, purple light flared up.

One after another.

Among those 500 beastmen, the 120 beastman soldiers with the strongest combat power were all covered by purple light.

Their expressions immediately turned furious.

It was Provoke!

Su Qin turned her head to look at the source of the purple light.

The one casting the Provoke skill — how could it be a petite woman?

Su Qin anxiously said: "Zhao Chi, what's going on with your subordinate? Is she too nervous? Why did she Provoke all the beastman soldiers? Call her back quickly, or she'll be instantly killed!"

Call Tang Ruan back?

How could she possibly agree to that?

Zhao Chi said: "It's fine. Have all your elves attack the beastman warriors. Let's take out the enemies with the strongest killing power first."

Su Qin pointed at Tang Ruan and said: "How can that be? Aren't you going to care whether she lives or dies?"

Gu Qing said softly: "Little sister, don't worry about our way of fighting. Just do as my lord says."

Although her tone was very gentle, her words left no room for doubt.

Su Qin said no more: "Alright, alright then. But you pay attention to healing her... All units, attention! Switch firing targets to the beastman warriors on the right, concentrate on taking them out!"
