CHAPTER 781: CHAPTER 388: CRAZY! HE MUST BE CRAZY! _2

In fact, it was indeed heartwarming.

However, she didn’t want to be hiding behind them all the time; she needed to shoulder the responsibilities that a Lord should bear.

Otherwise, if her strength couldn’t keep up with the development of the territory, it would be her fault as a Lord for holding back the territory.

Seeing the determination in Zhou Bai’s eyes, Alike didn’t insist anymore.

As for Bayer, he knew Zhou Bai’s personality, so he had kept quiet from the start.

"By the way, let Heidi and the others know, so they don’t think something has happened behind them," Zhou Bai continued to instruct. Normally, without her orders, they were not supposed to stop their attack, but it would be bad if they thought she was in danger and got distracted.

"Alright," Alike once again dispatched someone to pass on the message.

Once the personnel returned, Zhou Bai began to get to work.

She placed several Black Stones in different quantities on various clearings in a semicircle; after a moment of thought, Zhou Bai also added a protective shield of varying levels around them.

This way, they could gauge the power of the Black Stones by the damage to the protective shields.

Once everything was ready, Zhou Bai instructed everyone to spread out.

After they had moved to a safe distance, a small flicker of flame instantly appeared in Zhou Bai’s hands, which she then threw toward the first location.

As soon as the flame touched the Black Stone, an explosion occurred.

With a loud "boom," a mighty noise resounded at the site.

Zhou Bai did not stop, throwing towards the second location, followed by another loud boom.

One after another, she threw, and the explosions continued one after the other.

By the time she reached the last one, the whole ground was shaking.

As the dust and smoke from the explosions cleared, Zhou Bai saw giant holes, the last one especially large, almost as if it was going to collapse the entire ground.

These explosions had occurred under the condition of a protective shield being in place.

The power of the Black Stones was truly frightening.

Zhou Bai’s gaze narrowed, her expression turning a bit more serious.

If there were enough Black Stones in Fasal Village, the entire territory could indeed be easily destroyed.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai immediately sent people to search for remnants of the protective shields in each crater.

In no time at all, Zhou Bai had them in her hands.

Unsurprisingly, each protective shield had completely lost its protective function, particularly the last one, which was mostly shattered into pieces; she was just holding a slightly larger fragment of it, which was a Gold Level Shield.

However, after estimating the attacking power of these Black Stones, Zhou Bai confirmed something.

That was, even if Wolf had made preparations in Fasal Village, the quantity of the Black Stones definitely wasn’t abundant; at least not enough to destroy the entire territory.

Because if Wolf had enough Black Stones to destroy the entire territory, why bother placing them to destroy the territory? He could simply attack the troops of Hope Village directly, which would have been enough trouble for Hope Village.

Only if he had a limited number of Black Stones would he find another solution.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai unconsciously began to strategize.

Eventually, she felt somewhat reassured.

If it wasn’t the Black Stones, it absolutely had to do with fire.

Because fire burns everything, and would also ignite the Black Stones.

Now, she just had to wait and verify this after entering Fasal Village.

...

While Zhou Bai was deep in thought due to the experiment, the attacking team at the front line also felt the vibrations immediately.

Many soldiers from Hope Village instinctively paused upon hearing the noise, but seeing that their sergeants and commanders were unmoved, they gritted their teeth and continued to maintain their combat rhythm.

They all remembered the first iron rule of combat:

Follow the command, do not act rashly.

They had to learn to trust their Commander!

On the walls of Fasal Village, both Wolf and Nicholas also heard the deafening noise.

When Wolf noticed the disturbance, his eyes lit up slightly.

"They’ve attacked!" Wolf said excitedly, "I wonder if they managed to kill that Zhou Bai."

Wolf’s gaze was fixed on the distance.

Unfortunately, it was too far away, and he couldn’t see what was happening there.

Flying Magical Beasts could have managed it, but navigating a Flying Magical Beast in the midst of a battlefield’s airspace was far too dangerous.

So at this moment, Wolf could only guess what might be happening to the troops behind Hope Village and to Zhou Bai after the attack through his own conjecture.
