Chapter 313: Chapter 269: Village Defense Battle (5)
The women all stared at Zhao Chi in terror. Quite a few of them were attractive.
’Not bad.’
’They’re more valuable.’
’Take them all.’
Besides these captives, some Gold Coins and items were also found in the Lord’s House, along with several naked Female Elves.
Other than that, there was nothing else of value.
Whatever it was, he would take it all.
Gu Qing had already called the female villagers of Penglai Village out to move the supplies. Although the captives were bound, they could also be made to carry things.
Before long, all the supplies had been transported back to the territory of Peach Blossom Village.
Zhao Chi stood beside the Wall of Fog and clicked on Wu Tianxing’s territory.
[The Lord of the current territory is dead. Please choose how to proceed.]
[1. Occupy]
[2. Vassalize]
[3. Destroy]
’Occupation is an option, I suppose.’
Unlike Zhao Ji’s territory, this one could be occupied legitimately.
However, by occupying it, Zhao Chi would only gain the territory itself, not the Racial Bloodline or the Territory Stone.
Furthermore, Wu Tianxing’s territory didn’t have any Special Buildings, so there was no compelling reason to occupy it.
’I can consider expanding my territory later, after the population has increased.’
’But for now, it’s more trouble than it’s worth.’
’Vassalization would also work.’
But that would mean making some Ordinary-strength Beastmen his vassals.
Although they would provide periodic payments and resources, Zhao Chi wasn’t lacking in those things.
’Comparatively, destroying it is the better choice.’
Though the chances were low, there was still a possibility of obtaining a Territory Stone.
There was also a chance to get a Racial Bloodline.
If the territory had any Territory Traits, he could get those too.
’Of course, the probability for any of this wasn’t high.’
After a moment of consideration, Zhao Chi chose to destroy it.
[You have selected "Destroy" for the current territory. This will purge everything within it. Confirm?]
’Confirm!’
His vision suddenly blurred.
The Wall of Fog was rapidly forming, and Wu Tianxing’s territory was no longer visible.
He could only see the white wall of fog rolling in.
A system notification appeared:
[Target territory has been destroyed.]
[You have obtained]:
Territory Configuration Points x10
Racial Improvement Points x5
Technology Improvement Points x2
’Not bad at all.’
The two types of Improvement Points were, of course, things Zhao Chi desperately needed. The more, the merrier.
He had also gained 10 Territory Configuration Points.
These were the same Configuration Points used to set up a territory at the very beginning.
Zhao Chi clicked to activate them.
Instantly, he re-entered the territory configuration interface.
He discovered that the options inside were the same ones whose values he had previously changed.
Configuring trees only cost 1 point, animals 2 points, and a small river 3 points.
But in addition to these, Zhao Chi discovered 2 new configuration options.
[11. Fertile Soil: 10 points]
[12. Land Plot: 10 points]
(Fertile Soil: Incredibly fertile black soil that increases crop yield by 20% and growth speed by 20%.)
(Land Plot: Gain a one-square-kilometer plot of land with parameters identical to your territory’s, containing random resources.)
Each time he redeemed the Fertile Soil option, he would get an area of fertile soil the size of a Farmland plot.
The bonus from the fertile soil was excellent.
’It’s worth considering redeeming.’
Besides the fertile soil, there was also the land plot option.
It seemed to be a straightforward way to increase the size of his territory.
While one square kilometer wasn’t massive, it was still a full million square meters.
’That’s also worth redeeming.’
’I’ll use it later when I go to Penglai Village.’
At that moment, the system’s battle summary arrived.
[Congratulations, victory!]

’Quite a haul.’
This battle had been a crushing and effortless victory.
However, the system had rated the Combat Difficulty as "Ordinary," not "Simple."
’It seems the system’s difficulty rating is based on the Combat Power of both sides.’
The enemy territory had a large population, exceeding 600 people.
Judging by the population, the enemy Lord must have been established for at least four months.
His development was run-of-the-mill.
Their Combat Power was also average, consistent with the martial prowess of Beastmen.
It was just that the Beastmen’s Equipment was still mostly Leather Armor. They didn’t have much Iron Armor; only their weapons and shields were made of iron.
This meant that while their damage output was decent, their Defense Power was lacking.
But this was basically the standard for an ordinary Lord.
This battle must have been a complete surprise to the enemy.
Losing their Lord and 2 Heroes right at the outset dealt a huge blow to their Morale.
On top of that, there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides; they weren’t on the same level at all.
There was a significant gap in everything from the strength of their Races to their Equipment Attributes.
The enemy’s only advantage was their numbers.
But if numbers can’t be properly utilized, they’re just a disorganized mob.
With their Lord and Heroes all gone, defeat was inevitable.
The spoils from this battle were good.
Of course, it couldn’t compare to the loot from his battle against Zhao Ji, but Zhao Chi was still very satisfied.
He had obtained 1.3 tons of food, enough to feed all the women in his territory for three days.
The basic resources added up to over 1,800 units in total, which wasn’t a huge amount.
There were nearly 500 pieces of Iron Equipment. Most of them were Iron Axes—both Hand Axes and Two-Handed Axes—and there were also many Iron Shields.
These weapons could be used immediately, but since he didn’t have an Axe Combat Skill yet, he could give them to the Logging Team.
The number of Iron Armor pieces wasn’t large, only 105 in total, making for 21 sets.
Moreover, they were all large and made for men, so the Female Soldiers couldn’t wear them.
Smelting them down would be too much of a loss.
’I can hand them over to the family later and see if I can exchange them for some other supplies.’
