Chapter 407 - 301: Four-Way Melee (2)

"Face?" Li Xun felt like he had heard wrong. He looked at Xiao Ning speechlessly. "Xiao Ning, this has nothing to do with face! It’s because you can’t beat us, understand? I just don’t want to suffer too many losses, which is why I’m willing to offer twenty thousand Gold Coins to yield to you. But I’m not giving you Gold Coins because our strength is weak. Can you comprehend that?"

"Li Xun, no wonder others call you guys Righteous Bandits. It turns out there’s something wrong with your brains," Xiao Ning said in disbelief. "With just you garbage Lords, you still have the confidence to fight against our Holy Race? Later, I’m going to split your head open to see if there’s actually a brain inside."

Li Xun sighed. "Forget it. I originally wanted to avoid a conflict, but if you insist on fighting, I’ll accept the challenge. After all, if we wipe you out, the spoils of war shouldn’t be small. It should be enough to cover our losses and even make a profit. You Alien Races better not disappoint me."

Xiao Ning waved his hand. "Then let’s fight! Also, we are the Holy Race. Charge!"

With that command, all the surrounding Alien Race Lords rushed out. Li Xun quickly raised his hand, and light suddenly burst forth around them. White light rapidly exploded across the ground, with numerous streaks of light extending and spreading into an Array. There were many mysterious characters on it, which Zhao Chi didn’t recognize at all. The range of the light streaks was massive, covering the entirety of Nanlin Village, including a large expanse of land outside the village.

Zhao Chi only felt a strong light sweep over him, and the next moment, he was back in his territory. Gu Qing and the Female Soldiers were resting on the spot nearby. Seeing Zhao Chi appear, they immediately stood up.

Zhao Chi was a bit dumbfounded. He wondered how he had returned to the territory so suddenly. Fortunately, a family notification chimed. It was the voice of his uncle, Zhao Qizong:

"Everyone, do not panic. We are currently in a Special space; let’s just wait for the enemy to connect with us.

"This time, we are passively waiting for an enemy match, so it is highly likely that the enemy’s Combat Power will be slightly stronger.

"Therefore, try to be as cautious as possible. If you win your battle, go support the others as quickly as you can.

"There is nothing else to say. Good luck, everyone!"

Were they in a Special space right now? Zhao Chi attempted to teleport. Sure enough, the teleportation failed.

[Teleportation failed. Please try again later.]

Zhao Chi remembered that the Array in Stream Village could trap a Lord for ten minutes. He figured it should be the same here. If no one matched with him within ten minutes, he would be able to teleport. At this moment, words of Encouragement continuously flooded the family chat group. It was the same in the Stream Village group; everyone was cheering each other on. Zhao Chi couldn’t help but send a few messages himself.

About two minutes later, Zhao Chi received a system notification:

[Territory is being forcibly connected.]

[Village Lord Huang Bian, Beastman, Combat Power 312.]

[Please prepare for battle.]

Excellent. It was exactly as he expected; a Village Lord had sought him out. If he used a Peace Token now, it would be Effective. After all, it took some Time for the opponent to finish connecting; they hadn’t truly connected yet. But, of course, Zhao Chi wouldn’t use a Peace Token. He only hoped that the one connecting to him was a Robber Lord under Li Xun, rather than a Lord from Nanlin Village. After all, given the choice, he would naturally choose to fight robbers instead of people from a neighboring village. But no matter who it was, Zhao Chi would finish the battle swiftly.

Soon, the fog wall to the Southwest rapidly shifted. The white fog wall vanished, revealing an expansive territory. Zhao Chi raised his hand, and light flared up. The glow of the Encouragement Technique and Wind and Cloud Step instantly descended.

"Everyone, use your Skills! Advance at full speed and finish this battle quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

Their clear, beautiful voices echoed out. Tang Ruan and Qi Yue also cast the Defense Technique and Speed Attack Technique to increase the Female Soldiers’ Defense and Attack Speed. Tang Ruan took the lead, commanding all the Spear Soldiers to charge out simultaneously. The Sword Soldiers led by Qi Yue followed closely behind. Gu Qing and Zhao Chi stayed in the very rear, ready to command and provide support at any moment. Now that Zhao Chi had seven points in agility, he would no longer be left in the dust by the Female Soldiers. However, since he didn’t have the Movement Speed Bonus from the Silk Stockings, he had to run a bit harder.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the edge of the territory.

The opposing territory was a mountainous Type. It was a stretch of barren, earthy brown, with various small hills scattered all around. Several mine shafts were loosely distributed in the surroundings, and the air Mass was poor. Right in the middle sat a slightly taller hill. Looking up, one could see quite a few wooden Buildings atop it. Surrounding the Buildings were dozens of wooden arrow towers distributed high up on all sides. The arrow towers were packed with Beastmen, but the distance was too great to clearly make out their situation.

Shifting his gaze downward, he noticed quite a few Beastmen descending the hill, having already reached the halfway point. A rough estimate put their numbers at around four hundred. These Beastmen were closer, allowing for a general look. Right in the center stood a Human completely covered in Metal Armor. That person had to be Huang Bian.

In front of Huang Bian were two hundred fully armed Beastmen. Their figures were much more Sturdy than ordinary Beastmen, with broad shoulders, thick backs, and bulging muscles. Moreover, their Heights were all around 1.9 meters. All of them wore Iron Armor and wielded Half-Body Iron Shields and Iron Axes. These were Tier Two Beastman Warriors. They had reached at least Level 10 and possessed a minimum of twenty-five Enhancement Points. Though he didn’t know what they had used their Enhancements on, it was likely either Attack or Critical Strike. They looked exceptionally ferocious.

However, appearance and Attributes didn’t perfectly correlate. These Beastmen were indeed fierce, but the gracefully curvy Female Soldiers in front of Zhao Chi were equally fierce. They lacked the Height of the Beastmen, nor did they have their muscular builds, yet their Attributes were on the same Level as the Beastmen. They could absolutely take those Beastmen in a one-on-one duel and still win. Even Zhao Chi, in his current state, had reached the Attribute level of the Beastmen. Even if he didn’t use any Skills, he could still win a one-on-one fight against these Tier Two Beastman Soldiers.
