Chapter 877

The female soldiers spoke in unison.

"Holy shit, all female soldiers?"

At that moment, a sharp voice drifted down from the hill.

Its tone was full of disbelief.

No need to think — it was the opposing lord, Huang Bian's voice.

Huang Bian pushed aside the beastmen in front of him, walked to the front of the formation, and looked carefully toward Zhao Chi's side.

He had heard the female soldiers' reply and found it utterly inconceivable.

Zhao Chi ignored him, raised his shield, and charged up the hill behind the female soldiers.

Huang Bian watched for a moment, then said in delighted surprise: "Huh? They really are all female soldiers, damn it. And their figures are kept damn well. Capture them all alive later! Picking you as my opponent was the right choice!"

"What about the opposing lord? Capture him alive too?"

A beastman hero asked.

"The opposing lord? Isn't that a man? Just slaughter him. If you want to eat him alive, capture him alive and eat him, that's fine too."

"Hehe, thank you, my lord, I understand now." The beastman hero fixed his gaze on Zhao Chi.

The distance between the two sides grew shorter and shorter.

Huang Bian was somewhat astonished: "Huh? Why are they so fast? Are they all movement-speed enhanced?"

Immediately after, Huang Bian pressed his palms together and swept them downward.

"Little ladies, in such a rush to come into my embrace? Slow down a bit, big brother likes to take it slow!"

Suddenly, a surge of earth Qi flared up on the slope.

It spread outward like a wave.

The soil on the ground instantly became extremely soft, as if it had just been tilled.

The female soldiers' slender calves all sank into the earth, up to their knees.

"What's going on with the ground?"

"Every step is a bit of a struggle."

"It's fine, just take bigger strides, or hop forward."

"That won't work either, it affects speed too much."

"It is a bit of an impact, and we're going uphill too."

"We're almost in the enemy's firing range soon, raise your shields!"

The female soldiers' speed dropped sharply.

Each step sank deep into the soil, and then they had to pull their feet out of the mud.

This was even more strenuous than walking through accumulated snow.

At this rate, they'd probably be shot at by the enemy for free for over 3 rounds.

And the stamina drain was huge.

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, but still cast a Cleansing Body Technique.

But just as she had imagined, it had no effect whatsoever.

Huang Bian had achieved the slow-down effect by altering the state of the ground.

Not by directly lowering the female soldiers' movement speed.

So Gu Qing's Cleansing Body Technique had no negative status to clear at all.

Zhao Chi comforted her: "It's fine, no big deal, just a bit of durability loss."

"Mm." Gu Qing nodded.

The distance between the two sides grew even shorter.

They could all see each other clearly.

Huang Bian caught sight of Zhao Chi's face and suddenly froze.

Then he laughed coldly: "Damn, this is the first time I've actually seen someone fight with an all-female soldier lineup. Turns out it's a pretty boy, well that explains it. I won't kill you later, but I'll cut your balls off, then make you watch me enjoy your women, hahahaha."

Huang Bian's voice drew great laughter from the beastmen.

Those beastmen raised their javelins and joined in the jeering.

Morale seemed to have risen a bit.

Zhao Chi was actually completely unmoved by this mockery on the inside.

But the female soldiers beside him all furrowed their brows.

Their loyalty was all 8 points, and the newly-joined female soldiers also had 7 points.

Mocking Zhao Chi right in front of their faces?

How could they possibly stand for it?

Zhao Chi saw that their morale had actually risen by 2%?

And Gu Qing and the others had risen by 5%?

【Morale】

【Zhao Chi】101%

【Gu Qing】124%→129%

【Tang Ruan】130%→135%

【Qiyue】 132%→137%

【Female Soldiers】110%→112%

Generally speaking, being mocked by the enemy should lower morale.

So neither side would show weakness; even the disadvantaged party would grit their teeth and curse back.

Zhao Chi didn't respond at all—how did these women still have such high morale?

Probably all because they were angry.

That's not bad though…

But Huang Bian assumed Zhao Chi simply didn't dare speak.

After all, Zhao Chi's combat power was only 230, while Huang Bian had a full 312!

36% higher combat power than Zhao Chi.

This was a sure win.

Even if combat power wasn't perfectly precise, how could a beginner lord like this possibly have a way to hide combat power?

Huang Bian seized the chance to taunt again, intending to completely crush Zhao Chi's side's confidence and morale.

"Zhao Chi, too cowardly to open your mouth? You see the combat power gap between the two of us? You can surrender right now, and I, your father, can spare your life. But those women of yours will have to bear me a few more children, hahahahahaha."

Zhao Chi sighed: "Huang Bian, you're one of Li Xun's men, aren't you?"

Huang Bian clearly hadn't expected Zhao Chi to ask that.

"Huh? I… I'm obviously part of the Heavenly King Army, what of it?"

"Nothing, thanks."

"What? Thanks?"

Huang Bian felt his brain wasn't enough to keep up.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Thanks for being a bandit, and thanks for your territory, and those soldiers around you—Tier 2 and Tier 3 beastmen troops, they can sell for an even higher price."

"Huh?"

Huang Bian couldn't understand at all.

How could a lord with both inferior combat power and inferior terrain still say something like that?

Was he scared silly?

Zhao Chi gave the order: "Qiyue, directly kill the enemy lord."

"Yes!"

Qiyue's speed suddenly surged, breaking away from the formation.

The beastman hero narrowed his eyes: "Raise spears, ice spears!"

Whoooosh~

Several streams of cold air scattered outward.

Covering the entire beastman army.

Swish~
