Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

Qi Yu shouted an order.

The twenty Tree Men in the rear suddenly sank, their root-like feet digging deep into the barren ground.

In the next moment, the arms of these twenty Tree Men grew rapidly, extending all the way to the ground.

Their arms wrapped around large boulders on the ground and lifted them high into the air behind them.

At that moment, the twenty Tree Men acted like Catapults, launching the massive boulders into the distance.

They were not yet within bow and arrow range, but the boulders were already hurtling toward the Zhao Chi Army.

"Everyone, watch out and dodge! The enemy has long range."

Zhao Chi stared at the sky as he advanced.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

The boulders whistled through the air.

They fell like cannonballs.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Zhao Chi felt the ground tremble beneath his feet.

The winter-melon-sized boulders shattered, sending shrapnel flying everywhere.

Fortunately, the fragments were far weaker than the Bone Nails from Xiao Rui’s Skeletons and didn’t cause any significant damage to the Female Soldiers.

"My Lord, be careful."

Gu Qing pulled Zhao Chi to her side, helping him avoid the bombardment of boulders.

The rain of stones from the sky was relentless.

The barrage wasn’t dense, but a direct hit would mean severe injury, if not death.

At this distance, they had plenty of time to react, but it would become much more dangerous as they closed in.

Zhao Chi ordered, "Everyone, spread out a bit more. Qi Yue, don’t wait. You’re fast. Circle around from the flank and chop down those trees for me!"

"Chopping down trees?" Qi Yue chuckled. "Now that’s something I’m good at. Sisters, let’s charge!"

"Yes!"

All of Qi Yue’s Sword Soldiers wore Leather Armor, making their Movement Speed the fastest.

With the bonus from their outfits and the Vertical Wind Skill, their full-speed charge was incredibly fast.

Tang Ruan and her squad weren’t slow either.

But their Iron Armor was still heavy, slowing them down considerably.

"Gu Qing, go with them and provide healing."

Gu Qing said with some concern, "My Lord, please let me stay by your side. It would be safer."

Zhao Chi replied, "It’s alright. Those Tree Men are very slow. I’ll be fine following Tang Ruan’s squad."

Gu Qing nodded. "Alright, I’ll head over now. Tang Ruan, protect our Lord."

"Don’t worry, Sister Gu. I’ll protect the Lord."

’Zhao Chi’s best option right now is to fall back.’

’Get out of the Tree Men’s attack range.’

’But if I retreat alone, it would still be dangerous.’

’After all, the variety of Skills out there is bizarre and unpredictable.’

’If some unknown Attack comes my way, it’ll be hard to defend myself alone.’

’So retreating means I’d have to split my forces.’

’But if I split them, our Combat Power on the front line will be drastically reduced.’

Zhao Chi’s mind raced.

Meanwhile, Qi Yu was also thinking.

But besides thinking, he was also watching Qi Yue’s unit with great anxiety.

"What the hell is with that Zhao Chi? His soldiers are way too fast! Does that squad of Female Soldiers have some kind of speed-boosting Skill? Xiaojie, hurry up and shoot them down!"

The Elf Female Hero, Xiaojie, replied, "I can’t, my Lord. They’re not in range yet. We have to wait a little longer."

"Xiaoping, can your Spiritual Technique reach them?"

The other Elf Female Hero, Xiaoping, said, "I can’t either. The range on Vertical Wind Skill is even shorter; I can’t blow them back from here."

"Damn it..." Qi Yu said to the nearby Tree Men, "Throw faster! Concentrate your fire and smash Zhao Chi to death! Ignore those twenty Female Soldiers for now; Xiaojie can deal with them."

"CREAK," the Tree Men replied in their own language.

It was their way of saying, "Acknowledged."

Gu Qing looked at the sky. "This is bad. The Tree Men are still attacking our Lord."

Qi Yue said coldly, "They dare to target our Lord? Everyone, full speed ahead! We’re chopping down every last one of those Tree Men!"

"Yes!"

Gu Qing’s hands began to glow.

"Everyone, group up! I think I can speed us up again with Vertical Wind Skill."

"Understood!"

The twenty-odd Female Soldiers drew closer together.

Gu Qing waved her arms.

A strong gust of wind swept over them, pushing the Female Soldiers from behind.

Qi Yue said in praise, "Sister Gu Qing, I didn’t know Vertical Wind Skill could be used like that. The Effect is incredible."

Gu Qing replied, "It is. It has no Attack Power, but its support Ability is excellent."

Qi Yue tightened her grip on her Iron Saber. "Everyone, prepare your Combat Skills. Don’t hold back. Unleash everything you’ve got."

"Understood!"

While Qi Yue was amazed, Qi Yu was panicking.

"Fuck, how did they get faster again? Xiaojie, quick! Shoot them down!"

Xiaojie drew her Longbow.

"Yes, my Lord. They’re just barely in range."

A green light swirled around the Longbow.

Xiaojie nocked five Long Arrows at once.

The green light illuminated the arrowheads.

FWOOSH!

Five Long Arrows shot out at once.

They streaked through the air like green meteors.

"Hit your marks!" Xiaojie’s eyes were full of confidence.

Qi Yue shouted, "Careful! Arrows! Dodge!"

Several of the Female Soldiers beside her immediately scattered.

But the green Long Arrows seemed to have eyes of their own. Just as they were dodged, their tips swerved and burrowed straight into the Female Soldiers’ bodies.

"Ah~!"

"Oof..."

"It hurts so much!"

Five Arrows, five hits on five Female Soldiers.

Each Arrow pierced their Leather Armor and dug into their flesh.

These Arrows seemed to not only have a tracking function but also enhanced power.

But that wasn’t all.

Immediately after, another twenty-five Arrows followed in waves.

The green Long Arrows were like Soul-Chasing Locks, hurtling toward the Female Soldiers of the Qi Yue Team.

"Hmph!" Gu Qing pushed her arm forward.

With one hand, she maintained the Vertical Wind Skill; with the other, she cast a Healing Skill.

"Brace yourselves and pull the Arrows out, or I can’t heal you completely."

"Right!"

"Ngh!"

"Urgh."

Pulling out the Arrows was another jolt of pain.

But thanks to the healing, the wounds closed rapidly, returning their skin to its fair, unblemished state.

The twenty-five Arrows were nearly upon them.

Qi Yue shouted urgently, "Shields up! Don’t let them hit you in the head!"

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

Another wave of pained cries followed.

But they were already very close to the Tree Men.

A few more seconds and they would be in Attack range.

Qi Yu’s jaw dropped.

"What the fuck is going on? Xiaojie, did you not use your full power on that Skill? How are none of them dead? Why haven’t you taken them out? They’re almost here! What do we do?"

"What do you mean ’full power’? Spiritual Techniques don’t work like that," Xiaojie said with a frown. "Those women must not feel pain."

"That’s fucking bullshit! If they don’t feel pain, why are they screaming so loud? Xiaoping, hurry and blow them back! Xiaojie, keep firing! Tree Men, throw your rocks at those Female Soldiers!"

"Yes, sir!" Xiaojie continued to draw her Bow.

Xiaoping, meanwhile, stretched out both her hands.

Another powerful gust of wind blew forth, attempting to push the Qi Yue Team back.

But it only served to cancel out Gu Qing’s wind, having no real effect on Qi Yue and her troops.

The twenty Tree Men turned.

Their long arms rose high once more.

At such a close range, it would be nearly impossible for the Female Soldiers to dodge every projectile.

Fortunately, Zhao Chi and Tang Ruan had also drawn near.

At this distance, the Taunt Skill could take effect.

"Tang Ruan, quick! Don’t let those Tree Men attack Qi Yue’s squad."

Tang Ruan broke away, accelerating on her own. "Understood! My Lord, stay away from me."

A purple light flared.

It shot toward the Tree Men.

Zhao Chi was a little worried.

’I’m not sure if the Taunt Spiritual Technique will even affect Tree Men.’

"CREAK."

"CREAK—RAAK."

"SKREEE—CREAK."

The Tree Men let out loud, grating sounds of wood on wood, as if they were cursing Tang Ruan.

Zhao Chi couldn’t understand them, but he knew it had worked.

All twenty Tree Men hurled the stones in their hands at Tang Ruan.

THUD! THUD! THUD THUD THUD!

Clouds of dust and debris billowed up around Tang Ruan.

BAM!

"Urgh!"

Despite Tang Ruan’s frantic evasions, the range was too close, and some of the projectiles were simply unavoidable.

Her small body was sent flying.

She landed hard five meters away.

She coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Tang Ruan, are you okay?"

Zhao Chi immediately broke from the formation and rushed toward Tang Ruan.

"My Lord~ don’t, don’t come over~~!"

’Huh?’

’Why does her voice have that kind of tone?’

Tang Ruan was on the ground, her face flushed red.

Her legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Her fine brows were knitted together. She looked like she was in extreme pain and discomfort, but there was something different about it, too.

The next second, Tang Ruan leaped to her feet.

A large dent had appeared in the Iron Armor on her left shoulder, but she didn’t seem to be seriously injured.

Zhao Chi quickly checked Tang Ruan’s State.

[Name] Tang Ruan

[Morale] 113% → 123%

[State] Genetic Enhancement effective, All Attributes +2, 1 second remaining.

’So, in that instant, Tang Ruan used her Genetic Enhancement.’

’Even though the boulder hit Tang Ruan, her Constitution had just reached an astonishing 10 points.’

’So her Basic Defense and Basic Life both increased, and the actual Damage she took wasn’t that high.’

’Factoring in the protection from her Iron Armor and her Soft Body’s -20% Impact Damage reduction...’

’...it looked like she was seriously hurt, but it was only a minor injury.’

"My Lord, get back! I’m fine! This Genetics point can be recovered after the battle, right?"

Zhao Chi smiled. "It can. All Consumption in the Virtual Space is temporary. Use them as you need. I’ll help you Supplement one point tonight."

Tang Ruan gave a soft smile. "Alright. My Lord, please get away from me for now."

"Snap out of it!" Xiaoping shouted as light radiated from her body.

She dispelled the abnormal status effects on everyone around her.

Qi Yu snapped out of his daze, stunned.

The Qi Yue Team was almost upon them.

Qi Yu sighed. "Damn it, Zhao Chi’s people even know Taunt... I have no choice. I have to use it early. Root down! Quickly, root down! Kill these women!"

"CREAK," the Tree Men replied.

It was their way of saying, "Understood."

The seventeen Tree Men in the front row had been idle this whole time.

But now they suddenly bent over, plunging their hands and heads deep into the soil with a loud, grating CREAK.

Qi Yu did the same as the Tree Men, pressing his hands firmly onto the ground.

In an instant, a strange Energy surged through the ground.

The bodies of the seventeen Tree Men immediately shrank, as if being sucked into the earth.

The ground trembled slightly.

It felt like something was growing and moving underground.

Gu Qing warned, "Watch your feet! Scatter!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

WHIP! WHIP! WHIP! WHIP! WHIP!

Suddenly, a mass of branches erupted from the ground.

Some were sharp, others were pliable.

The pliable branches wrapped around the Female Soldiers’ legs, while the sharp ones stabbed directly at their bodies.

Gu Qing radiated light.

Rays of healing light scattered out, treating the Female Soldiers’ wounds one after another.

"Cut them down!" Qi Yue swallowed a Spiritual Power Pill.

The light of her blade flashed.

Forty-two bright Moon Blades appeared one after another.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Wood chips flew everywhere.

The Moon Blades easily sliced through the branches, their power barely diminished, as the remaining crescent arcs flew toward the Tree Men’s bodies.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

After rooting and shrinking, it seemed most of the Tree Men’s power had been transferred to the underground branches, leaving their physical bodies extremely vulnerable.

It only took three to four Moon Blades to easily cleave the front-row Tree Men apart.

Qi Yue slew ten of the seventeen Tree Men.

The twenty Tree Men in the rear were still gathering stones, but the Female Soldiers of Qi Yue’s squad were already upon them.

"Time to start chopping wood!"

Qi Yu was so stunned he was speechless.

These twenty Female Swordsmen swarmed around him, the Iron Sabers in their hands a blur, like fan blades.

They slashed one after another.

Wood chips filled the air.

The Tree Men swung their arms in resistance.

But their Attack Speed was far too slow.

Even when they managed to hit a Female Soldier, Gu Qing’s healing followed instantly, making it impossible to inflict any casualties.

The two Female Elves, Xiaojie and Xiaoping, fired simultaneously.

But the battle was already lost.

Qi Yue closed in. "Are you the Lord?"

Qi Yu screamed, "Don’t! Don’t cut me!"

Qi Yue sneered. "You dared to throw rocks at our Lord. I saved these last few slashes just for you!"

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Three Moon Blades flew out, leaving deep gashes in Qi Yu’s Iron Armor.

They weren’t Deadly, but they were terrifying.

Qi Yu threw away his Longbow and scrambled to escape.

Qi Yue easily caught up to him.

Her red lips parted as she whispered, "Now, die."
