Chapter 523: Chapter 339: Heart Towards the Light (3)
The remaining 192 Alien Race Lords were still trapped in the special space, waiting to be dealt with one by one.
[Lord List Awaiting Assignment]
[Total] 192
[Village Lords] 0
[Town Lords] 108
[County Lords] 65
[County Level Lords] 19
’Surprisingly, there are no Village Lords on the list awaiting assignment.’
’I wonder if they’ve all been matched already, or if no Village Lords showed up in the first place.’
But it didn’t matter. Zhao Shizhang had just told him not to initiate a match, that someone would arrange it.
So, Zhao Chi took no action and just watched the information on the screen.
Soon, a system message popped up.
[Sun Heng, Team Leader of the World-breaking Army, invites you to battle. Do you wish to enter?]
’Is this the arrangement he mentioned?’
Zhao Chi didn’t enter immediately, instead clicking to view the details.
[Current Battle Situation]
[Allied Forces]:
[1. Main General: Sun Heng, Town Lord, Skeleton Race, Combat Power 9,636]
[2. Vice General: Shen Shuang, Town Lord, Beast Race, Combat Power 8,860]
[3. Member: Zhao Qizong, County Lord, Human Race, Combat Power 39,707]
[4. Member: Jiang Qilan, County Lord, Human Race, Combat Power 15,089]
[5. Member: Li Feng, County Lord, Goblin Race, Combat Power 9,581] (Invited, Pending)
[6. Member: Zhao Hong, Town Lord, Goblin Race, Combat Power 7,848] (Invited, Pending)
[7. Member: Zhao Jing, Town Lord, Elf Race, Combat Power 5,907]
[8. Member: Zhao Xi, Town Lord, Beast Race, Combat Power 3,433] (Invited, Pending)
[9. Member: Zhao Lu, Town Lord, Beast Race, Combat Power 2,250]
[10. Member: Su Qin, Town Lord, Elf Race, Combat Power 1,370] (Invited, Pending)
[11. Member: Zhao Chi, Village Lord, Human Race, Combat Power 499] (Invited, Pending)
[Enemy Forces]:
[1. Main General: Jing Xiaoyu Pill, County Lord, Werewolf Race, Combat Power 34,533]
’What the hell...’
Zhao Chi couldn’t help but laugh.
’Talk about a lopsided fight.’
The enemy side only had one person: Jing Xiaoyu Pill.
He was a powerful County Lord, to be sure.
But their side had eleven Lords.
The strongest among them was his uncle, Zhao Qizong. He was also a County Lord, with a Combat Power approaching 40,000.
Based on Combat Power alone, his uncle Zhao Qizong could defeat Jing Xiaoyu Pill all by himself.
However, the difference in their Combat Power wasn’t insurmountable.
Besides, both sides likely had some hidden strengths the system couldn’t detect.
Even if Zhao Qizong won, it would likely be a narrow victory, perhaps even a pyrrhic one.
But he wasn’t alone.
His aunt, Jiang Qilan, was also a County Lord with a Combat Power exceeding 15,000; she was extremely powerful as well.
With her added to the mix, victory was practically guaranteed.
But that wasn’t all.
Zhao Chi didn’t know Main General Sun Heng or Vice General Shen Shuang, but it was obvious they were members of the World-breaking Army.
Even though they were only Town Lords, their Combat Power was already quite high.
Sun Heng’s Combat Power was even slightly higher than that of the County Lord, Li Feng.
That was normal, though.
The size and Level of a territory didn’t necessarily determine its Combat Power.
The titles of County Lord and Town Lord merely indicated the size of one’s territory.
Things like the number of Soldiers, Soldier Tier, Equipment quality, cosmetic skins, belonging to a High Level Race, or having undergone Genetic Improvement were all unrelated to Territory Level.
Li Feng was a Vassal Lord of the Zhao Family and had been with them for many years. He was considered one of their own and was quite powerful.
The first five Lords on the list alone were enough to secure a decisive win, if not a flawless victory, against Jing Xiaoyu Pill.
But there were still six more Lords after them.
Although their Combat Power was relatively weaker, they still represented a significant force.
Their combined Combat Power was already three times that of Jing Xiaoyu Pill.
The battle would be an overwhelming victory, no question.
Zhao Chi noticed that his own Combat Power had increased to 499.
It had more than doubled from his previous 230. After all, his number of Soldiers had increased significantly and their Tier had been raised, so his Combat Power was naturally stronger.
But his true Combat Power was still far greater than just 499.
Soon, all the Lords ahead of him had joined.
Only Su Qin and Zhao Chi still had the "(Invited, Pending)" status.
Zhao Chi knew Su Qin was waiting for him.
With a situation like this, there was no reason to hesitate. He clicked to confirm and join.
Nothing happened.
They were just waiting for Su Qin to join.
But as soon as Su Qin saw that Zhao Chi had joined, she quickly joined as well.
In that instant, a tremendous roar echoed from the north.
The pristine white Wall of Fog dissipated into nothing.
Zhao Chi felt a biting, imposing aura wash over him.
A voice message came through the system:
It was a group message from his aunt, Jiang Qilan.
It was sent to four people:
[Zhao Xi, Zhao Lu, Zhao Chi, Su Qin—the four of you, don’t fight. Stay put and defend your own territories.]
[Your Power Levels are still too low. A battle like this is too dangerous for you.]
[If you come over, not only will you be unable to help, but we’ll have to worry about protecting you. Our hands will be tied.]
[Even the aftershocks of the battle could injure you.]
[We’ll capture a few prisoners in a bit. You can just kill them yourselves. That will count as you making a clean break with the Alien Race.]
[Acknowledge receipt.]
Although Zhao Chi had plenty of hidden strength, he knew his aunt was right.
The strongest kid in kindergarten still can’t beat a normal adult.
So, Zhao Chi obediently listened.
Zhao Xi: [Roger!]
Zhao Lu: [Roger!]
Zhao Chi: [Roger!]
Su Qin: [Roger! Please be careful, Aunt Jiang. I won’t get in the way.]
’Looks like this is going to be a free win,’ he thought.
Zhao Chi immediately relayed the situation to his four Female Heroes.
Zhuang Ya asked, "So we’re just defending from here? Should I go up the defense tower and keep watch?"
Zhao Chi nodded. "Alright. You and Gu Qing both go up the defense tower. You two have the best eyesight and can see the farthest. Notify everyone immediately if you spot any movement."
"Yes, my Lord!" The two Female Heroes immediately ascended the tower.
Tang Ruan and Qi Yue were still looking at Zhao Chi.
They were all awaiting his orders.
"Tang Ruan, Qi Yue, you two form up the troops. If the enemy enters our territory, engage them immediately."
"Yes, my Lord!"
