Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion
Chapter 221 - 220: Pre-battle Preparations (5)Zhao Chi now had three Female Heroes under his command.
However, he still primarily discussed matters with Gu Qing.
After all, Gu Qing was more mature and considered things more comprehensively.
Plus, she was a natural-born Hero with a considerable reserve of knowledge.
Although her personality could sometimes make her a bit too uninhibited, she only acted that way in front of Zhao Chi, so it wasn’t really a flaw.
The other details were mostly sorted out.
The strategy was for Zhao Chi to fight independently, without entering the bodies of the three heroes.
The three Female Heroes would all wear Masks, capes, and chest bindings.
They would conceal their identities as much as possible.
As for the number of Soldiers to be deployed, it was tentatively set at 50.
He would pretend that his daily number of refugees was also just five.
He would assess the situation later before deciding whether to increase the number.
Tang Ruan would lead 20 Female Spearmen, and Qi Yue would lead 20 Female Swordsmen.
Gu Qing would not lead any troops; she would specialize in Treatment and control.
Zhao Chi would lead 6 Female Archers and provide ranged support from the rear.
The troop composition could be adjusted at any time, but this was the plan for now.
"Gu Qing, put the hunting tasks on hold for now. I’ll call Tang Ruan and Qi Yue out. For the next two days, we’re doing nothing but training our coordination."
"Understood!"
「Two days later, in the early morning.」
Zhao Chi converted the newest batch of arriving villagers into Female Archers.
A total of 750 Experience Pills were completely consumed.
The few that were left over were all given to Qi Yue, raising her Level to 11.
The way Soldiers’ points were allocated remained unchanged.
Spearmen put all their points into Defense, Sword Soldiers into Attack Speed, and Archers into Accuracy.
Spearmen were the kings of formation combat.
They were incredibly strong in a military formation.
However, the number of Soldiers was too small right now to be considered a proper military formation.
But their Defense was already enhanced by 150%, and with the Improved Fashion, it reached 250%.
They were extremely durable.
This way, even though there were few Female Spearmen, they could firmly hold back the enemy’s charge and Attack in battle.
This provided a screen for the Female Swordsmen led by Qi Yue.
For the time being, Zhao Chi had all the Sword Soldiers increase their Attack Speed.
In truth, increasing their Attack a bit would also be good.
However, focusing on a single Branch Attribute was helpful for breaking through with the main Attributes.
Besides, putting everything into Attack Speed wasn’t a bad thing.
As long as they could charge into the enemy ranks, they could inflict massive damage in a short time, making them highly efficient.
Coupled with the fact that Qi Yue was an Agile Type, Zhao Chi also wanted the Soldiers she led to develop into an Agile Type.
That way, certain Spiritual Skills would be a better match for them.
If there were a large number of Archers fighting between military formations, Accuracy wouldn’t be as important.
But with so few Soldiers, they couldn’t form a rain of arrows to cover the enemy formation, so they still needed to add some points to Accuracy.
The goal was to make every Arrow count.
At 6:00 in the morning, a flood of information popped up.
Zhao Chi hadn’t looked at it in detail for 11 days.
Today, he would review it all.
It was a total of 11 days’ worth of data.
[Peach Blossom Village Personnel]:

[Smelter]20
[Total]282
Besides Soldiers, Lumberjacks were the most numerous.
A large amount of wood was chopped down every day.
Nearly half of the trees in Peach Blossom Village had been cut down.
Progress in Penglai Village was also very fast.
Next were the Construction Workers and Blacksmiths.
The number of Construction Workers would not decrease for a long time to come.
The proportion of Blacksmiths was now higher than that of Tailors.
Leather Armor was destined to be replaced, but the female Tailors could also make Improved Fashion and Cloth Clothing.
They also needed to be developed.
The number of Smelters was excessive.
This was mainly to smelt the large quantity of Black Armor, so he had converted some extra workers.

[Team Leader]Fang Li
[Time]11 days
[Newly Built]Wooden House: 35, Farmland: 20, Smelting Workshop: 2, Spearman Camp: 1, Sword Soldier Camp: 1, Bowman Camp: 1
A large number of Wooden Houses had been built these past few days.
Including the previous ones, there were now 47 in total.
They were enough to house 235 people.
The three military camps were Middle-Level Buildings and took longer to construct.
The 20 plots of Farmland were not built by the Construction Workers, but cleared by Gu Yan’s planting group.

The last time he looked at this information was before the battle with the allocated Magical Beasts.
During this period, he had gone through the Magical Beast battle and the battle with Zhao Ji.
Quite some time had passed.
There were still plenty of Wooden Spears and Wooden Shields, so Li Zhu’s Woodworker group had switched to making furniture.
With so many Wooden Houses built, there was a huge shortage of furniture.
It was fine to go without furniture, but having it could improve Mood, which was also useful.
Lin Mei’s Chopping group hadn’t changed much; they just kept chopping away.
However, Qi Yue had recently joined the Chopping group and was helping them chop, greatly increasing their Efficiency.
A large area of trees in the center of Penglai Village had already been felled.
Only the stumps remained to be cleared.
Once the stumps were cleared, major development could begin in Penglai Village.
Shen Lian’s smelting group was working overtime.
After defeating Zhao Ji, he had confiscated 1,414 Short Swords and 753 Black Armor Sets.
Generally speaking, crafting a one-handed piece of Equipment required 1-2 Iron Ingots, while an Iron Armor Set required 25-35 Iron Ingots.
There was some Loss when smelting them down.
But it should still yield around 15,000 Iron Ingots.
Such a large amount was five times the total Iron Ore resources of an ordinary territory.
He couldn’t help but sigh again at how profitable it was to kill nobles.
Nobles were truly rich.
Smelting Equipment was much faster than smelting Iron Ore.
That was why Zhao Chi had previously estimated it would take about two days to finish smelting.
The results showed that his estimate was quite off.
They had only just finished smelting a tenth of the total amount.
But there was no need to rush now. With Penglai Village, all the Black Armor and Equipment had been moved there.
They could now proceed with smelting at a normal pace.
For the foreseeable future, Zhao Chi truly had no worries about Iron Ingots.
Chen Hua’s Refining Group had produced a large amount of Kerosene.
The raw material was obtained from rendering the fat of those 200 Ice Bears.
Those 200 Ice Bears were fat and plump, and their abundant fat was an excellent raw material for refining.
There were still plenty of materials left, enough for Zhao Chi to make Super-Improved Kerosene later.
Although there was no shortage of Iron Ingots now, Xia Jing’s Mining group was still working.
It was fine to mine all the minerals and stockpile them, as minerals could slowly regenerate on their own.
This time, they had obtained 2 Ice Jades and 1 Flame Jade, which was pretty good. He’d store them for now.
Feng Xiu’s Sewing group produced 170 sets of Leather Armor.
However, many were lost during the battle with Zhao Ji, so there weren’t enough to equip everyone with Leather Armor at the moment.
But that was okay.
The territory was currently transitioning to Iron Armor.
Besides, the Craftsmen probably wouldn’t need to join battles in the future.
Ding Dang’s Forging group now had a good number of people. And since the smelting work was delegated, the Blacksmiths were completely freed up to focus full-time on crafting Equipment.
During this period, the numbers of Iron Spears and Iron Shields were replenished, and they also crafted 50 Iron Bows and 1,000 Iron Arrows.
Iron Arrows were more powerful than Wooden Arrows.
Most importantly, they had produced 24 Iron Armor Sets.
This was enough to equip Zhao Chi, his 3 Female Heroes, and the 20 Female Spearmen under Tang Ruan.
They would definitely be stronger than they were in the battle against Zhao Ji, and by a wide margin.
Finally, there was Zhao Chi’s fashion.
Strictly speaking, it was made by Zhao Chi and Tang Ruan together.
He had made a lot of Improved Fashion before, but now it was outdated.
But that was fine; it could serve as backup fashion for the Female Soldiers.
The new fashion had just been completed and had already been distributed.
The Attributes were all excellent.
They had produced many items, which of course consumed a lot of resources.
Among them, 1,250 units of wood were consumed, a considerable amount.
They used 1,434 Iron Ingots. For an ordinary territory, that was half of its entire Iron Ore resources.
And 400 pieces of leather were used.
The previous Ice Bears were huge, and each one’s hide could be divided into several pieces of leather. There was still a lot left.
[Current Equipment]
[Wooden Shield]150
[Wooden Spear]1,000
[Iron Shield]160
[Iron Saber]120
[Iron Spear]110
[Iron Bow]50
[Iron Arrow]1,000
[Leather Armor Set]210
[Iron Armor Set]24
This included equipped items.
His military armaments were sufficient.
It was just past 6:00, but all the Female Soldiers were already awake.
They all knew about the battle that was about to take place today.
Every one of them was full of confidence.
Zhao Chi was also full of confidence.
In terms of the number of Heroes, Zhao Chi had 3, while most Lords had only 1 or 2.
Even if some Lords with family backing had more Heroes, it didn’t matter.
Zhao Chi’s Female Heroes had quality.
These three Female Heroes should be able to completely dominate others.
After all, their Talents were synthesized, and each one also had powerful Improved Genes. The three of them should be able to easily handle other Heroes of the same Level.
Plus, they had Paradise Fury and Genetic Enhancement.
When it came to Soldiers, it didn’t matter either.
The entire Peach Blossom Human Race had inherently strong Attributes, and they also had four Improvements: "Fearless," "Soft Body," "Bone Gathering Resurrection," and "Night Vision."
Basically, among the subjects of other Lords at the same stage and Level, there were few who were stronger than these women.
As for Equipment.
For conventional Equipment, Zhao Chi had 24 sets of Iron Armor, and plenty of Leather Armor.
Most importantly, all these Female Soldiers were equipped with 3 pieces of Super-Improved Fashion, and it was a stronger version than the ordinary Super-Improvement.
It was no problem to say they would completely crush others.
So.
Comparing across the dimensions of Heroes, Soldiers, Race, and Equipment, Zhao Chi was stronger than others.
It would be very difficult for others to fight him.
This was very good.
But this was also very bad.
Because this battle would have many spectators.
So, he couldn’t be too strong.
At least, he couldn’t *appear* too strong.
It would be best to just barely defeat his opponents in every match.
If he just steamrolled everyone, he would attract too much attention.
Therefore, he had to hide his strength.
’I can let a few die in each battle.’
’It’s a virtual battle anyway. Dying just removes you from the fight; you don’t really die, so it’s no big deal.’
"Gu Qing, did you tell them what I told you?"
Gu Qing nodded. "Don’t worry, my Lord. We’ll all be careful. We won’t let the enemy die too easily."
"...Do you really understand what I mean?"
"Hee hee, I get it. There are spectators for this battle, so you don’t want to expose our true strength and want us to pretend to be weak, right?"
"Yes..."
"Everyone knows."
"Good."
Gu Qing asked, "The battle starts in three hours, right? Should we go train some more?"
Zhao Chi shook his head. "No need. Just rest for the next few hours. You can discuss coordination tactics, but don’t waste your Physical Strength."
Gu Qing asked with a smile, "Then can we go discuss it in the Carefree Spring?"
"Of course. After 8:30, you need to go soak anyway to refresh the buff’s Effect duration."
"Hee hee, got it! Girls, strip down! It’s time for a bath!"
With a wave of her hand, Gu Qing led all the Female Soldiers toward the Carefree Spring.
