Chapter Seventeen: Charge, For Her
"Gromm, go ask Madel where they've gone." Chen Le said as he climbed up a small hill, looking at the centaur camp.
"King Woon, honestly, I hope you can go back. Charging forward to kill the enemy is our duty. You are our backbone, if something happens to you, we will not live for long." Grom pleaded.
"I believe you can protect me." Chen Le did not respond, but his determination was very firm.
"Alright, Your Majesty, but I hope you can stay by my side. This is my last line of defense." Grom pleaded, he couldn't retreat any further.
"Off you go, Grom." Chen Le said impatiently.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Grom said helplessly.
Half an hour later, Grom suddenly appeared in front of Chen Le.
"Grom, your Wind Step is getting more and more skilled." Chen Le didn't spare his praise.
"Thanks for the compliment, King Wugou. I will die before that happens!" Grom said with a poker face.
"Where did Mader and the others go?" Chen Le asked, looking at Grom's empty back.
"Major still has ten minutes before he arrives here." Grom said respectfully, while also intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Chen Le.
"How can it be so slow?" Chen Le asked in puzzlement. Logically speaking, the giant demon should have arrived fifteen minutes ago.
"Medel took Dream Autumn. Kuo Mark and those people who were released." Grom replied truthfully, but with a hint of subtle anger in his tone.
"Has Meng Qiu arrived?" Chen Le finally turned his head, with a look of crazy excitement on his face.
"How many of them are there?" Chen Le asked, tugging on Grom's sleeve.
"Hey, King, can you let go of my clothes first?" Grom said awkwardly.
"Speak quickly." Chen Le also realized that his behavior was a bit off, and he released Grom's sleeve to say so.
"There are 600 level-3 warriors, 100 level-3 mages and 40 level-4 warriors, 10 level-4 mages." Grom said without any hesitation.
"Now, I believe she can see my brilliant and majestic performance." Chen Le said to himself.
Chen Le's face was filled with a radiant smile, which he had never had in the past decade or so.
"Grom, do you think I look handsome in this pose or when I'm chopping with my sword?" Chen Le asked Grom, comparing a horizontal grip knife pose and smiling at him.
Grom's mind was more complicated than ever at this time. He couldn't understand why a woman could turn the invincible king in his eyes into such a state.
"My master, I feel like you've changed a lot." The long unheard voice of Zha Zha appeared beside Chen Le's ear.
"Zha Zha Ben, what's going on with you lately? It's been a long time since I've heard your voice." Chen Le asked puzzledly, but the smile on his face didn't decrease by a single bit.
"System upgrade, oh master, that old creator god has stuffed a bunch of miscellaneous things into me again." Zha Zha said helplessly. For the largest hanging wall, he expressed his inability to do anything about it.
"Alright, Xiaobian, quickly help me think of a way to win over a girl's heart." Chen Lehuang said hastily.
"Hey, master, you gotta take a look at this chick for me." Zha Zha said helplessly to the master who had already fallen deeply in love.
"Right, just wait a bit, in ten minutes you'll see." Chen Le said with a silly smile.
"Alright, master."
Ten minutes later, the joint team of ogres and humans finally arrived.
"Mengqiu, Mengqiu, I'm here." Chen Le shouted loudly, but at this time, Zha Zha thought that his master was like a useless person.
"Hello, respected sir, please call me by my full name." said Meng Qiu Kou Ma Ke with a slight bow.
Chen Le's smile suddenly froze, and he comforted himself by saying: "It doesn't matter. They're not familiar with me, she doesn't understand me, that's right, it must be like that."
Chen Le smiled and said: "Then, Meng Qiu Kou Ma Ke miss, can we discuss our battle plan now?"
"Sir, I think this thank you note can be negotiated. I have something to attend to and will take my leave."
Chen Le's ten fingers clenched tightly and then relaxed.
"Thank you, what do you plan to do?" Chen Le asked.
"That is, respected sir, I unconditionally obey your orders. I hope you can keep the promise with the young lady and rescue the old master." Xie Yi said respectfully.
"Alright, Madel, your uncle should be back with his troops by now?" Chen Le asked.
"Yes, Wang Shang, my uncle has returned. He said that if he sees smoke here, he will attack." Ma replied.
"Alright then! Light it up, full-scale assault!" Chen Le drew out his own long knife and pointed at the centaur gathering spot across from them.
"Kill!" The trolls charged with their long spears at the ready.
Human soldiers saw all the ogres like this, they felt that they couldn't lose their own face. They also rushed up together.
The earth-shaking battle cry shattered the morale of the centaurs. They were just a detachment of less than 1,000 people.
At this time, a centaur who was like a leader in the centaur gathering area stood up and said: "Form a line. Fire at that group of unknown things on the opposite side!"
The centaurs were also efficient, and in just ten seconds they formed a line, after which the bows and arrows came out.
Arrows rained down like a storm, and the giants hid behind their shields in time, having had wars with centaurs before.
But human troops suffered heavy casualties.
Chen Le saw the centaurs still drawing their bows and rushed up with his knife.
"Master! Have you gone mad?" Zha Zha cried out in terror.
"I'm not crazy, I'm clear-headed now." Chen Le said with a crazed look on his face. Then he turned back to glance at the beauty standing in the position where they started their charge, and without looking back, continued charging forward with his knife.
"Gromm, I command you! Protect the safety of the king!" Zha Zha ordered.
"Yes! Divine Ring!" Grom finally had a reason to stand beside Chen Le.
Chen Le relied on his own sixth-level strength and rushed to the front of the Centaur's army first.
With a horizontal slash of the sword, a centaur was cut in two, blood spraying into the air, and a bloody rain came down.
Centaur troops are terrified.
Grom also jumped beside Chen Le and shot three arrows at him. Grom easily deflected them.
"King's above, beware of hidden arrows!" Grom shouted.
"No big deal, Grom! I think a few more of these dark arrows wouldn't hurt!" Chen Le exclaimed wildly.
"Hahaha, centaurs, you will make fine spoils of war for me."
The slaughter continues, and these centaurs will never think about why they suffered such a disaster until they die.
A man in love is a frightening thing. As long as there's even the slightest possibility, no matter how great the cost, he'll stop at nothing.
For example, if they hadn't encountered Meng Qiu this time, Chen Le would have directly given up on these two gathering areas and launched a surprise attack on the Foodie Demon Lord's base.
But for a beauty, being crazy is nothing.
Chen Le is now carrying six arrows on his body, but his movements have not been affected in the slightest.
"Who else!"
A figure in red rampaged through the bloody rain, its thunderous roar like that of a war god, stunning all who fought here.
"Haha, I've found a big fish!" Chen Le's eyes shone with golden light at this moment, his gaze fixed on the centaur whose body was much taller than the others.
"Die!" A slash leapt out, a normal slash, but this slash had the majestic momentum of a great mountain.
The centaur leader's eyes were as big as a bowl.
He hastily shot out an arrow, but was it of any use?
The arrow shot straight and brushed against Chen Le's shoulder, but it didn't have any effect.
The centaur leader was split in two by his bow and arrow.
"Ahhhhh!"
"A massive soul reaction has been detected within a 100-meter radius. The Soul Collection System is now activated. Level 1 souls are worth 1 energy point, level 2 souls are worth 10 energy points, level 3 souls are worth 100 energy points, and level 4 souls are worth 300 soul points. Souls of level 5 and above will be valued based on their strength."
Chen Le has already turned a deaf ear, he can no longer hear the sound of Za Za's voice.
