Chapter 354: Retreat

"Huh? Extradition of all residents of Ireland? Nero's brow furrowed, and his tone inadvertently began to stiffen, "You mean that if Apsu attacks next, we don't plan to continue to fight back against that guy, but instead give up the entire island of Ireland?" ”

"This is the safest method, we still need a certain amount of preparation time, if we want to kill Apsu, we must spend enough strength, if other gods attack at this time, we will be in danger." Joseph said coldly, "This is also just a stopgap measure, counterattack will naturally counterattack, but now is not the time." ”

"The extradition of the whole of the island of Ireland, where is it going, when will it be done, and how can we explain to those residents what is happening?" Yu Hitomi, who had been standing silent, suddenly spoke, "Moreover, what if Apsu attacked not the island of Ireland, but other regions?" What about the inhabitants who don't know anything? Does it mean that they just ignore their lives and deaths? ”

"There will always be some sacrifices in war, and sacrificing a small number of people will always bring more people to life, and it is much better than letting the whole world perish." Joseph said lightly, "And we have also notified the branches around the world to let them pay close attention to the coastal movements in the recent period, our current enemy is not just an Apsu, it is very likely that he will soon face the gods, if he acts rashly at this time and loses the war, he will lose this world." ”

"But if you can't solve even one Apsu, when all the gods come, will you have the ability to face more and stronger enemies?" Xia Mingdao stared at Joseph, "I'm sorry, your role, forgive us for not understanding. ”

"You can't understand it, it's normal, and that's what I expected." However, in the face of Xia Mingdao's stiff rebuttal, Joseph did not have any displeasure on his face, and still said indifferently, "You have not participated in the war, at best, you have faced some small-scale god-killing operations, and this world-wide war is not comparable, but it is a pity that there is no chance to experience such a war, once the fight starts, there will be no follow-up after the victory is determined, you just need to obey the order well, war decision-making, Judgments will be made between us. ”

"In other words, calling us here and making trouble for a long time is just telling us a fact that has already been established?" Nero sneered, "I'm sorry, this kind of plan sounds quite harsh to me, a somewhat selfish person, in the face of the gods, what is the meaning of the existence of our spirit masters, going home to farm can give full play to the strength of the body." ”

After saying that, Nero turned around and kicked open the door of the conference room, and said without looking back: "Just let you people who have participated in the Great War talk about these things, we are just students who have slaughtered gods, why do we need to stay here?" Oh yes......"

Nero said, turned his head to look at Joseph, and said with a sarcastic smile: "I don't know that this major general has killed God?" ”

Joseph's cheeks twitched slightly, he had participated in countless wars, but the funny thing was that he had not participated in the wars facing the gods, just

It's just that I've participated in some simulated battles, and the head-to-head battle record with the gods is still zero, and if you look at it from this point, it may not be as good as these students.

However, Nero didn't wait for Joseph to say anything, and walked out of the door of the conference room directly, and Yu Tong and Xia Mingdao, who were standing in the conference room, also walked out of the conference room without saying a word, and with a dull sound, the door of the conference room was slammed shut, leaving only Joseph and others sitting inside.

"Ahem." The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, and Steve, the deputy director of the headquarters of the Spirit Master Association, coughed slightly, and said with a smile, "Major General Joseph doesn't have to take it to heart, young man, there is a lot of blood, and he always feels that as long as he relies on force, he can solve everything, don't worry, I will solve this matter, they will understand." ”

"It doesn't matter if they don't understand, we can just follow the plan." Joseph said, pulling out a bag of papers from under the table, "Let's get on with our business." ”

Downstairs of the Avalon branch, Xia Mingdao and the three walked out of the door, their faces didn't look good, they originally thought that this time they were going to study a battle plan to deal with Apsu, but they didn't expect to come up with such a play, and they were actually ready to use the entire island of Ireland as a buffer to buy time, this kind of behavior is simply intolerable, the degree of damage that the gods can cause is not a joke, especially this kind of creation god, if he is allowed to destroy the island of Ireland, it is very likely that the entire island of Ireland will be destroyed.

"Heh, I thought the military department was a group of iron-blooded guys, but I didn't expect to play this kind of routine for me." Nero stood in front of the gate with a double closed loop, looked at Xia Mingdao and Yu Tong, and said with a sneer, "Liang Xiao, that guy dares to challenge Apusu alone, we have so many cutting-edge equipment in our hands, I don't believe it, ten Divine Weapons were shipped from all over the world, and three rounds of shooting at that bastard, can't it solve it?" You have to make it so much trouble! ”

"That Joseph, actually, there is nothing wrong with what he said." Xia Mingdao was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Hey, I said, you guy won't suddenly want to turn back now, will you? That's not what you said above. Nero frowned and looked at Xia Mingdao with an unhappy expression.

"These are two different things, it was a wrong choice to concentrate all the forces on the side of Apusu, if the Aesir Protoss took the opportunity to invade, then we would be unlucky." Xia Mingdao said calmly, "There is no problem with his judgment, but the conclusion he came to is quite ridiculous, because it is not necessary to solve the problem of Apusu at all, sixty years ago we were not armed with the gods, and the alchemy weapons were not as advanced as they are now, but now we have so many weapons to resist the gods, they can be used, but he chose this conservative wait-and-see attitude, to be honest, I can't accept it." ”

"What do we do next?" Yu Tong looked at the two of them and asked.

"Senior, you're our senior, don't you have a solid idea?" Nero looked at the rain pupil and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but I'm only going to fight face-to-face with my opponents, scheming or something, it's not my forte." "So I'm not going to make some useless judgments." ”

"You're so decisive." Nero shrugged, a smile on his face

disappeared, and then looked at Xia Ming and said, "Hey, you say, what should I do?" Why don't we go back to the hotel now? ”

"Or do we go up the Atlantic to find out what happened to Apsu ourselves?" Xia Mingdao sighed and shook his head slightly, "We have no choice, we can't face Apusu with our strength alone, even if we really have a lot of blood, it's useless, it's just a few people who disappear silently." ”

Nero was silent for a long time, and then suddenly with a look of annoyance, he turned his head and walked outside.

"Hey, where are you going?" Xia Mingdao looked at Nero's back and asked.

"I'll go out for a walk, or I'll suffocate here sooner or later." Nero said without looking back, turning the corner outside, where the figure disappeared.

Yu Tong was silent for a moment, and then said, "Could it be that you really have to give up the entire island of Ireland?" ”

Xia Mingdao didn't speak, he slowly stroked the ring on his finger, but he didn't call Merlin out, now is the battle between their contemporaries and gods, this soul that has been dead for more than a thousand years is better not to let him participate in this matter anymore, but...... Even so, Xia Mingdao couldn't think of any way to solve the current problem.

"It's not good to say that, but strictly speaking, it's not about us." Xia Mingdao said calmly, "This is something that is beyond our ability, we have no right to mobilize the army, nor are we qualified to order the members of the spirit master, let alone ask for the assistance of the spirit killer, if the above idea is really the case, then we can only say that Ireland's luck is not very good." ”

"Really, can't you do anything?" Although Yu Tong had already understood what Xia Mingdao said, as a spirit master, her heart made her really unable to abandon this place like this.

Xia Mingdao was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Liang Xiao, he has the idea of challenging Apusu alone. ”

Yu Tong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xia Ming with some surprise and said, "Alone...... Alone? Is he crazy? Even if he really wanted to die, it wasn't the way to do it, and why would he provoke the creator god alone? Is there something that can't be said? ”

"Not really, Apusu was originally awakened by Atholl, and Apusu herself is in the body of the only daughter of the Pendragon family, Scarlet, after he broke away from Scarlet's body, he caused the girl's life to worry, and now the only way for her to continue to live is to kill Apsu and let Apsul's soul return to her body." Xia Mingdao said, "Liang Xiao, I want to save that girl." ”

"The people who saved House Pendragon?" Yu Hitomi felt a little incredible, lowered her head and said silently for a long time, "It's not like his style." ”

"He's always going to surprise people, and this one was no different." Xia Mingdao said, "If there is another solution, then there is one in front of us, and we can choose to help this guy and kill Apsu, although this proposal sounds like a fantasy." ”

"I don't think there's anything like that in the Arabian Nights." Yu Hitomi sighed slightly, "Let me think about it, I want to know, if we really challenge Apusu, is the worst result really as simple as us dying?" ”
