Chapter 518: Chapter 338: Heart Towards the Light (Part 2)
Muchang, Kiro, and the others took a few steps forward to stand at the top of the slope.
The other Alien Race Lords gathered as well, looking down on the Lords from their high ground.
Muchang scanned the crowd and then said, "Alright, it’s time. Let’s move out."
Kiro waved his hand. "Everyone, with me! To the mountain!"
The Lords exchanged glances.
Xiao Qiran asked respectfully, "Captain Muchang, aren’t we waiting for our allies?"
Muchang tilted his head and grinned. "No need. Everyone has the same objective. Let’s go."
Kiro said, "Everyone kill as many as you can. That’s how our team’s Contribution will get higher. Understand?"
Few people responded to Kiro.
Only the Alien Race Lords clenched their fists and shouted in agreement.
Kiro grew angry. "Did you not hear me? Do you understand or not?"
"Understood..."
Only then did some of the Lords reply.
But Kiro wasn’t satisfied. "Damn it, why the hell are you all so listless? I..."
Just as he was speaking, Muchang stopped him. "That’s enough, Captain Kiro. We’re about to fight. Save the lecture for after the battle."
Kiro nodded, then pointed at the crowd of Lords. "Damn it! When we get back, I’ll teach you all some Holy Race etiquette!"
Muchang gave the order: "Everyone, advance. Surround them and call for their surrender, or force them to activate their Array."
Kiro nodded. "Yes, sir!"
Arrays have a Duration and a cooldown Time.
A Village Level Array has a Duration of 10 minutes. Once activated, it can teleport invaders to a temporary space.
The defenders can then proactively choose their opponents.
If no choice is made after 10 minutes, the attackers are released.
Once they’re released, the defending side loses the initiative to choose.
A Town Level territory’s Array should have a longer Duration, probably about an hour.
Muchang had issued two orders.
The first was to call for surrender.
Calling for surrender is something done before almost every battle.
After all, once a battle begins, both sides will suffer losses.
Even in victory, the Loss is high, and the final rewards are much smaller.
If they could be persuaded to surrender directly, that would mean a 100% harvest, which is of course the best outcome.
The second order was to force the enemy to activate their Array.
The Array’s Effect wasn’t just for picking opponents; it could also achieve a strategic purpose.
A Town Level Array, in particular, could teleport enemies into a Special temporary space for an hour.
For that hour, the attackers would effectively be imprisoned.
The attackers could do nothing but wait for the defenders to connect to them.
This way, the defending side could pick them off one by one.
This created a huge strategic advantage.
For example, take a certain night.
Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, Qi Yue, and Su Qin all come looking for Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi may be strong, but he can’t possibly handle all four of them at once.
If he forces a fight, he’s sure to be attacked from all sides.
And while it would be heavenly pleasure, he would very likely be drained dry by them.
That would be far too embarrassing.
But if Zhao Chi had an Array at this moment, he could trap them in a temporary space.
Then, Zhao Chi could defeat them one by one.
First, he would match with the weakest, Su Qin. He could incapacitate her in a matter of minutes.
The other women, though anxious to come to her aid, would be trapped in the temporary space, completely unable to help. They could only passively wait to be matched.
Next, he’d match with Qi Yue.
Qi Yue is also very weak and can’t withstand a prolonged assault.
Don’t be fooled by how she can slaughter her way through any battlefield, invincible and unmatched.
In bed, she’s not formidable at all. She’d quickly tremble and surrender.
Then comes the most skilled, Gu Qing.
She’s practically the teacher of the other women, possessing a vast array of Skills, but Zhao Chi is still confident he could overpower her.
After all, brute force breaks all finesse; overwhelming Power renders skill useless.
Regardless of her techniques, Zhao Chi just needs to launch a direct, frontal assault.
However, her "Spider Lady Silk Gland" Talent provides a +1000% Bonus to her... fluid production.
It not only helps with producing silk but is also very potent in a situation like this.
That kind of scene would have a huge Impact on Zhao Chi’s psyche.
As long as he can withstand the visual Impact, victory would be in sight.
Finally, there’s the strongest: Tang Ruan.
That’s right! Tang Ruan is the strongest of all.
She looks delicate, but she is the hardest to defeat.
Her Constitution Attribute is 8, the highest among these women.
Coupled with her Talent Bonus, her endurance is also the highest. Zhao Chi wouldn’t have to hold back and could unleash 100% of his Ability.
But she also has the strongest Recovery Ability...
If one had the time and the stamina, one could truly fight Tang Ruan indefinitely.
To truly conquer her, she must be completely overwhelmed in a short amount of time.
If his opponent were only Tang Ruan, Zhao Chi would still have no problem.
This is the Effect of the Array!
The defending side can imprison the attackers and defeat them one by one!
Therefore, it provides a massive strategic advantage.
The Duration of a Village Level Array is too short for this to be obvious.
But a Town Level Array’s Time is long enough.
Thus, the Lords going in first are the Vanguard, or in other words, a suicide squad.
After the battle, as long as they survive, they will earn a huge amount of merit.
Of course, this merit isn’t awarded by the system, but internally by the Alien Race.
Kiro gritted his teeth. "Follow me, you bastards! Anyone who falls behind will be killed!"
With that, he charged to the very front.
Another 20 Alien Race Lords charged forward with him.
But Muchang and the remaining 40 Alien Race Lords stood their ground, not moving.
It seemed this suicide squad was led by Kiro, not Muchang.
The Lords had no choice but to follow Kiro forward.
Although Jiaoya Town was on a mountaintop, the group was currently on a gentle slope that wasn’t very steep.
And it wasn’t far.
Within minutes, the group had charged right up to the outer walls of Jiaoya Town.
