Chapter 276, Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Gan Pengfei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is the basis?" ”
Qi Hufei said: "There is no direct evidence, I am just speculating, but logically this is very likely." ”
"Oh? Tell me about it. ”
"The purpose of the Kraken gathering is to take advantage of the tide to land and find a habitat. Normally, they are a group of unorganized and undisciplined rabble, and even if there are one or two supernormal demons or even celestial demons behind them, it is unlikely that they will become a tight-knit organization capable of implementing various tactics.
But judging by the ambush we encountered last night, it is clear that this is not something that a rabble can do.
If you look at where they gathered, the islands were less than five hundred miles away. This distance is not far or close, just in the range that we can detect, but it is not easy to attack.
From the point of view of the purpose of preparing to borrow the tide to go ashore, this distance is remote. There are also a number of islands closer to the coastline, making it easier to go ashore at high tide.
If they were afraid of being attacked by the cultivators on the shore, then this distance was too close, and if it was a little farther away, the patrol station might not notice them, or if they did, they would not take it too seriously. ”
"You mean, they chose those islands to lure us into their ambush circle?"
Qi Feifei nodded and said, "At present, this is very likely. ”
"Ridiculous!" Liu Yu retorted, "Being ambushed by the Kraken last night was just an accident. Even if the Krakens really have that much intelligence, why would they lead us there? What good is it for us to ambush them? ”
Wen Liang said: "Maybe they think that if they kill us all, they can go ashore smoothly." ”
Liu Yu sneered: "How is it possible? Able to summon with demon songs, can think of ambush strategies, can accurately calculate our detection range, and can even estimate our course of action, such a kraken would be foolish to think that after killing all the cultivators in this town, he will be able to go ashore smoothly? Would it be unthinkable that doing so would only attract more people? ”
Zuo Yiming said: "I agree with Captain Liu's opinion, last night's ambush should be just an accident. ”
Qi Jufei found that Zuo Yiming and Liu Yu seemed to have formed an alliance, although Wen Liang seemed to help him speak, but his words had no power, and obviously he also had doubts about Qi Jufei's point of view.
He decided to pull Wen Liang into the water, and there must be a strong alliance, otherwise he will become a minority and be excluded from whatever decision he makes next.
"Captain Yoo is right, but that's exactly the problem," he said. Judging by our actions last night, the Kraken is clearly prepared. Not only did they ambush us, but the plan of the ambush was very complete, and the level of the ambush was very high.
Before the operation, Captain Wen led people to conduct a detailed reconnaissance, if the other party was not organized and planned, but just an accident, with the rich experience of Captain Wen and his teammates, how could so many monsters lurking in the sea water not be discovered? ”
Wen Liang immediately became anxious when he heard this, and if he didn't say anything at this time, the cauldron of failed action would be carried on his head.
"That is, if we hadn't been prepared, how could we have escaped our eyes?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qi Hufei continued: "You also want to lure us to the island, and then ambush us. This is clearly counterintuitive. It can only be said that they have another purpose. ”
"Tell me, then, what is their purpose?" Liu Yu asked.
Qi Hufei looked at Gan Pengfei: "Gan just said that the situation in Qianlong Bay is special, and the dragon army will never be dispatched, and the Kraken should have seen this, so he dared to act so recklessly." When there is a gathering of krakens in Qianlong Bay, and the patrol station can't solve it, report it to the top, and it will mobilize our Honggu County City God's Division to go west for 1,600 miles to assist in defense, if it doesn't work again, we can only mobilize the power of the Nalan City City God's Division and the Immortal Shield Bureau.
Let's think about it, what would happen if all the defense and garrison forces from Honggu County to Nalan City were transferred to Lingxi Town, and even the eyes of the cultivation forces in the entire Zhu Zi Kingdom were attracted to Qianlong Bay? ”
"You mean they're pulling the tiger away from the mountain?" Gan Pengfei groaned.
Liu Yu said: "How is it possible? Not to mention the cultivation power of the entire Zhu Zi Kingdom, as long as the main forces of the Nalan City City God Division and the Immortal Shield Bureau come over, plus us, it will be more than enough to protect Qianlong Bay, and if the Kraken dares to go ashore, it will definitely be able to annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”
Qi Feifei was not so optimistic.
He still remembered the last time he fought the snake demon at Kirin Mountain.
A Heavenly Demon Snake that had just broken through the sixth rank and stepped into the seventh rank made the people of the City God Division, the Immortal Shield Bureau, and the Duanmu family almost wiped out.
What's more, since they want to divert the tiger from the mountain, how can they rush ashore?
"What if they don't come ashore?" Qi Hufei said.
"Don't go ashore? If they don't go ashore, what are they doing when they gather at this time? ”
"Maybe we guessed their purpose wrong from the start. Captain Liu, let me ask you, with the combat effectiveness they showed last night, if they always occupy those islands, how many people do you think we need to successfully wipe out these Krakens? ”
Liu Yu was silent.
Remembering last night's battle, he was terrified. Now he is asked to fight at sea 500 miles away, and he is not sure how many people he will bring.
Gan Pengfei said: "This matter is indeed unguarded, but why do you say that it is related to Mofu and Bat Demon? ”
Qi Feifei said: "The song of the Siren can confuse people's minds, much like demonic magic. So I wondered if there were people in the Demon Path involved. At present, in the territory of Zhu Ziguo, apart from the Demon Fu and the Bat Demon, I can't think of a third thing that can make them spend so much energy on this plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
If it's a bat demon, it may be trying to take the opportunity to enter Lion's Camel Ridge. However, since Heavenly Court has revoked the ban on flying to the sky, it means that it is likely that the traces of the bat demon have been found above, so I am more inclined to have something to do with the Demon Fu and the evil god behind it.
If my prediction is correct, within seven days, Mofu will definitely reappear, either in Honggu County or in Nalan City.
And this time, it is bound to be much more dynamic than the previous two. ”
Gan Pengfei frowned, and his face became very solemn.
Even Wen Liang was a little unhappy at this time, and he asked: "Captain Qi, if you report this idea, Tang Fatzi and Zhao Duo are afraid that no one will be sent over, so what should we do here?" ”
Qi Hufei said: "I can only hold on to help, as long as I survive for seven days, I should be fine." ”
Liu Yu said: "Even if your speculation is true, since the Kraken knows how to move the tiger away from the mountain, it will naturally adapt to the situation. If the forces of Honggu County and Nalan City are not mobilized by them, they are likely to invade Lingxi Town on a large scale, and at that time, with our current people, we are afraid that we will not be able to defend it. ”
Gan Pengfei suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" There are countless mortal people in Honggu County and Nalan City, and the safety there is far more important than ours. ”
He immediately called Qin Yubai, told him about the current situation and Qi Hufei's speculation, and asked Qin Yubai to withdraw the ten people who were going to be mobilized to ensure the safety of Honggu County as a priority.
Qin Yubai only said "I know", then hung up the phone without giving any instructions.
