Chapter 993

Zhuang Ya's hands waved continuously, flames everywhere.

The ogres had nowhere to dodge; their skin was seared, oozing great amounts of fat, which was then ignited.

To everyone's surprise, an aroma appeared in the air.

But the female soldiers and female elves both felt a bit nauseated.

The ogres had become walking fire-oil barrels, their bodies ablaze, screaming as they ran about wildly, completely losing any ability to resist.

But Zhuang Ya laughed heartily as she gave chase.

"Why run? Don't you want to stay away from a beautiful big sister like me? Ahahahahaha~"

One person drove a whole pack of ogres, scattering them in every direction.

Everyone watched her in silent speechlessness.

Su Qin asked carefully, "Zhao Chi, is she okay? Is her mental state fine?"

It was Zhao Chi's first time seeing this too.

But he was already considered well-experienced: "She's fine, Zhuang Ya… just has this kind of personality…"

Zhao Chi gained a new appreciation for the power of fire, and a new understanding of Zhuang Ya.

Although these ogres were humanoid, they were still beasts at their core.

Whether magical beasts or ordinary wild beasts, they all have a natural fear of fire.

And these ogres clearly lacked the intelligence, easily suppressed and driven by Zhuang Ya alone.

But fundamentally, they were being driven by fire.

If they were facing intelligent beings, Zhuang Ya's side might not have fought so easily.

The entire battlefield had already split into three parts.

The central battlefield.

Tang Ruan firmly held the attention of over a hundred ogres.

The female spearmen kept thrusting, having already taken down several dozen.

"Everyone keep shooting, support Tang Ruan!"

Su Qin's female elves were also shooting continuously, having likewise killed several dozen.

The right battlefield.

Behind Qi Yue's sword-and-blade squad, the ground was littered with severed arms and mangled limbs.

Blood and fat covered the ground.

The female soldiers were drenched in blood and gore.

The ogres had already collapsed, fleeing in all directions toward the center and the surroundings.

The left battlefield.

The aroma hung heavy.

Oily smoke billowed.

Zhuang Ya had strayed far from the group, but her unrestrained laughter could be heard across the entire battlefield.

"Ahahahahaha, why run? Why are you running! Hahahaha!!"

Several dozen ogres were set ablaze by her, howling as they ran about wildly.

Over a dozen were chased down and burned to death.

Finally, her spiritual power was exhausted.

But her laughter did not stop; instead, she drew a steel shield and a steel blade.

"Medium-rare is barely edible! Big sister will slice you up, yohoho~ Hahahaha."

The female soldiers held their breath, listening to her laughter as they pursued the scattered ogres.

The battle was basically over.

Zhao Chi ordered: "All units, pursue!"

The female soldiers charged out instantly, their formation spreading apart.

The female elves looked toward Su Qin.

Su Qin shouted: "When Zhao Chi is present, his commands take priority!"

"Yes!"

The female elves also immediately dispersed, each seeking their own target to shoot.

After some more time, the battle was completely over.

The ground was a mess.

Oily smoke filled the air.

It felt like even one's face was greasy.

Every female soldier and female elf shared one thought: hurry back and bathe.

This battle wasn't difficult.

For Zhao Chi, it was even simple.

He didn't even use his Doubling Art, let alone any skills like genetic enhancement.

But the system still gave it a Normal difficulty rating.

Zhao Chi's 154 troops put out 78% of the contribution.

Su Qin's 504 troops put out 22% of the contribution.

The gap between the two sides was huge.

But Su Qin and those female elves were not dissatisfied at all — instead, they were very happy.

"Zhao Chi, fighting alongside you is truly wonderful. This time we can say there were zero losses. The armor's durability didn't drop at all, we only lost some arrows. As a result, we won easily."

Zhao Chi deliberately praised her: "Having you here also solved my ranged strength problem. We complement each other."

Su Qin began staring at Zhao Chi again, as if afraid she was dreaming.

But she then said: "I know my strength really does have a huge gap with yours, but I will work hard to improve, and try not to hold you back."

Zhao Chi comforted her: "Your first round of arrows was very strong. If the opponents weren't ogres but ordinary races, it absolutely could have killed a swath of them. The follow-up volley tactics are even better suited to attacking those light, nimble enemies, like skeletons and goblins. If you can play to your own strengths, you'll absolutely be very strong."

Su Qin smiled: "Mm, I understand. Give me some time, and I'll desperately chase after your footsteps."

Zhao Chi nodded: "I believe you'll definitely be able to catch up to me very soon."

Su Qin said happily: "I've already caught up to you — you were already my man yesterday, hehe."

Zhao Chi laughed: "That's right. But I see your heroines have very few spiritual techniques. Only one or two kinds — why not learn more? After all, you can learn 5 spiritual techniques, and skill books aren't that expensive either. There should be plenty that suit you."

Su Qin tilted her head in confusion.

Then she smiled: "Hehe, Zhao Chi, is your basic knowledge not solid?"

"Basic knowledge? I learned it very well."

"Really? Then how come you don't know this one?"

"What? Tell me quick."

Su Qin said softly: "You can only learn 5 spiritual techniques, unless you comprehend them after advancing, which lets you exceed 5. You know that, right?"

"That's common sense, of course I know."
