Chapter 317 - 271: Village Defense Battle (7)
Chapter 317: Chapter 271: Village Defense Battle (7)
On the battlefield, the slaughter was incessant.
Even with Zhao Chi here to help, Su Qin was still incredibly nervous.
Zhao Chi now had a rough grasp of the situation.
The Goblins’ Morale was naturally low; they would typically rout at the first clash.
But they had the Cannibalism Ability, and after eating, they could enter a state of Frenzy. This compensated for their weakness of low Morale.
With their Morale high, large numbers, and racial predilection for Female Elves, the Goblins’ Combat Power had skyrocketed.
On the other side.
The Beastmen’s fighting style had always been fierce, head-on charges.
Now, with the addition of the Berserk Ability, they were truly even more ferocious and valiant.
The Goblins, in a state of Frenzy, were fearless and numerous.
The Beastmen, going Berserk, were even fiercer and charged more aggressively.
Thus, the advantages of the Elf Race were indeed greatly diminished.
It was understandable why the battle had turned out this way.
Although Su Qin held out no hope, Zhao Chi was brimming with confidence.
After all, Su Qin had already exhausted all of the enemy’s strongest Soldiers.
The remaining Soldiers’ Armor had low Durability; most of them wore only Leather Armor.
As for the enemy civilians, they had no Armor to speak of. Any primary Attack could cause them Damage.
For Zhao Chi, letting his Female Soldiers handle a mop-up job like this would likely result in an astonishing number of kills.
Zhao Chi gripped his Iron Saber. "Understood. Leave the cleanup to me. Our Combat Power is higher than theirs. We’ll definitely win."
Su Qin quickly grabbed Zhao Chi’s arm.
"Wait! Don’t just look at the system’s numbers. They aren’t accurate; they’re just a reference. For example, the enemy Goblins’ Cannibalism-fueled Frenzy and the Beastmen’s Berserk state aren’t factored into their Combat Power."
Zhao Chi smiled. "That’s right. I also know there are many things the system can’t recognize. But that’s exactly why we’re guaranteed to win. Follow me, let’s get closer to the battle!"
With that, Zhao Chi charged forward.
Su Qin quickly reached for him but grabbed only air.
She shouted anxiously, "Danyi, how much Spiritual Power do you have left? Keep an eye on Zhao Chi and be ready to give him Treatment."
From the defense tower, the Elf Female Hero, Danyi, replied, "I only have 11 points left, enough for one more use at most. My Medicine Resistance is already maxed out, so I can’t Supplement my Spiritual Power with Medicine. 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." Danyi fixed her gaze on Zhao Chi, then glanced with a pained heart at the wounded Female Elves.
At that moment, lights flared up ahead.
More than ten beams of healing light descended from the sky, blanketing the Female Elves.
Hundreds of Female Elves were restored.
Danyi’s tightly clenched fists relaxed slightly.
The despair in Su Qin’s eyes also faded a little.
After their Recovery, the Female Elves immediately threw themselves back into the fight.
"Phew~ Danyi must have recovered her Spiritual Power! Sisters, keep fighting!"
"That was close! I thought I was going to die here. Damn Goblins, just die!"
"That wasn’t Danyi’s Skill! It’s the reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements? I saw them too! It’s a Human woman using Healing Skills! The reinforcements are here!"
"This is great! We have hope now! Attack!"
At the rear of the battlefield, two rebel lords also noticed Zhao Chi’s reinforcements.
The moment Zhao Chi entered the area, they had received a system notification.
[Enemy: Village Lord Zhao Chi, Human, Combat Power 135, has entered the battlefield]
Han’Er snorted. "Gao Di, see that? A new Village Lord with 135 Combat Power showed up. Him plus Su Qin, and their combined Combat Power is a bit higher than ours."
Gao Di laughed. "Hahaha, don’t be ridiculous. We’ve both made Improvements to our Races that the system can’t detect. Forget being a little higher, even if their Combat Power was 200 points higher, we’d still win!"
Han’Er said, "Tell your Beastmen to be careful. I want that woman. Don’t kill her."
"Which one? The one casting the Healing Skills?"
"Yeah. Can’t you see her? That woman is an absolute knockout. Not even a Succubus can compare to her looks, or that figure... Holy shit, where did that Zhao Chi guy find a Female Hero like her? What fucking luck."
"Didn’t you want that Female Elf, Danyi?"
"Heh heh, she’s all yours. I want this new one."
"Alright. This is why I like working with you. You get the meat, and I at least get the soup."
Hearing this, Han’Er nodded. "Of course. If I get a prize, I won’t forget about you. And just like before, don’t report this to the captain and the others."
Gao Di pointed to his own nose. "I’m not an idiot, am I? I know. You don’t have to remind me every single time."
Han’Er grunted. "I’m just afraid you’ll get greedy. A little reminder doesn’t hurt. Look, that woman just used her Healing Skill more than ten times in a row. Her Spiritual Power must be completely drained. Looks like she’s just a pretty vase who doesn’t know how to fight."
Gao Di said, "Isn’t that even better? This is a guaranteed win for us."
Su Qin had come to the same conclusion.
Zhao Chi and Gu Qing stood on a rooftop near the front line.
Su Qin charged over, raising her Shield.
"Zhao Chi, you can’t use the Healing Skill like that! This is a war of attrition! You should only provide Treatment to the heavily wounded; leave the lightly injured for now. Otherwise, our rate of Consumption will be unsustainable. Don’t forget they can use Cannibalism to bolster themselves!"
Gu Qing swallowed a Spiritual Power Pill, then handed one to Su Qin. "Little sister, don’t worry. We have our own way of fighting. Here, take this Pill to Supplement yourself."
Su Qin was a little surprised.
Gu Qing was Zhao Chi’s subordinate, while Su Qin was a Lord. In theory, their Identities were not equal, and Gu Qing should have been more formal when speaking to her.
But Zhao Chi was a member of the Zhao Family, giving him a higher Identity than Su Qin, which in turn elevated Gu Qing’s own status.
Besides, they were here to help her fight. Su Qin didn’t mind.
