Eighty-Nine - Natural Fortress
"So, how credible is this thing?"
Dozens of minutes later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the office of the military marshal, Ji Yuehua, who had taken off her mask, and her two sisters were talking face-to-face across the military marshal's desk.
Unlike last time, this was a closed-door meeting, and the theme around it was naturally the achievements of Ji Yuehua and Feng Mojian in the past two months. Having said that, there is a question of how far Feng Moblade has grown, and how many alien creatures the two have eliminated in the past two months...... Such details as Yakumo Zi and Ruoxi Wan had already known from Ji Yuehua's daily routine reports, and there was nothing worth adding further.
This time, the trio focused on something else.
"It's hard for me to say whether it's credible or something. After all, I'm just presenting objective facts and expressing my opinion on top of that. If I had to give a number...... Six to seven percent?"
The person who asked the question was Ruoxi Wan.
After listening to Ji Yuehua's speculation, Yakumo Zi kept frowning and fell into deep thought.
Facing her second sister's question, Ji Yuehua knocked on the table with a wry smile. Above was the latest version of the chart that he had spent a few hours sorting out last night, including all the events and battles in the past two months, along with the itinerary of him and Feng Moji.
Because it's so detailed, it's easy to see at a glance. Literally even a fool can understand it. Therefore, Ruoxiwan's question is not aimed at any facts that have happened, but simply, she is just asking how sure Ji Yuehua is of her conclusion.
"As you can see, although Silent Blade and I have encountered a large number of Calamity Beasts almost every day since our first day of sailing, the situation in the first month was not at all the same as the month afterward."
Ji Yuehua said as she put her finger on the red crosses near Resource Island, those red crosses symbolized the location of him and Feng Moji, or the other members of the military department fighting with the "Calamity***."
"In the first week, I judged from the route of the Calambulation that the alien creatures that attacked our 13th Division might have come from two completely different places. As it turned out, my guess was correct. In the northeast of the native continent, we found the stronghold of those alien creatures, which contained more than 1,500 "Calamity" that would go hungry in about a month. ”
As she spoke, Ji Yuehua slid her fingers onto an island that had split into three landmasses, with a large red cross drawn on it. Then, he slid his finger along the black dotted line, which was the route he and Feng Mojian had sailed on.
"I won't talk about how I won. Just three days after we had annihilated all the enemies on that island, we sent a document from Sister Wing Lam, a carefully arranged chart. ”
"Director Yonglin used the same method as you, supplemented by multiplication, measurement angles, etc., and used computer technology to preliminarily determine that the enemy forces attacking Resource Island may be enemies from four different strongholds...... That night, before handing over the chart to Satsuki, Director Yonglin had already talked to the two of us about this matter in advance. ”
"So, we all know that Sister Yonglin's speculation is at least three-quarters correct."
What has already happened, there is no need to discuss it in the first place.
After passing through two or three smaller red crosses, Ji Yuehua's fingers returned to the front of Resource Island, and then moved in the direction that represented the north. There, in addition to the black dotted line that symbolized the sailing route of Ji Yuehua's two, there were more large and small red crossings.
"Basically, every time Silent Blade and I arrive in a new area, we will lay a tight surveillance net on the area. Thanks to this, even though there were only two of us, the volley went quite smoothly. Over the course of more than ten days of sailing, the two of us finally discovered three smaller Calambulation Beast base areas......"
"And then, without a report, kicked them off."
“...... Anyway, I made sure I had to check if there were any tough enemies on the island before I made a move. All in all, after defeating these three small "Calamity" base areas, three of the four routes that Sister Yonglin had speculated in advance had already been confirmed. The question is which one remains......"
I felt that Ruoxiwan seemed to give herself a roll of the eyes with a fiery expression when she spoke.
Ah, my favorability in my sister's heart has dropped again. Now, before he confesses, his relationship will be completely over...... Hide such lamentations in your heart. Ji Yuehua coughed lightly, and continued to slide her fingers as if nothing had happened, and her fingertips pointed to the most peculiar place even on this chart.
It was a strait that stretched across the map.
Mountains stretch from the edge of the map to the other side, leaving only one channel in the center, the entrance to the strait. Its length goes without saying. Although the width of the map seems to be limited, it is only a miniature version of the flat surface, and if it is actually there, it is very impressive.
If you want to describe it, it is the width of more than a dozen ancient city walls stacked on top of each other. Even if artillery shells were used to bombard without interruption for three days and three nights, it was not possible to successfully blast out a hole through both sides.
However, these are only half of the horrors.
What makes people even more speechless is the desperate height of the real thing.
The mountains are shrouded in dense fog and look almost as high as the sky from a distance. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many dangers in this ocean, the mere circulation of photographs would have made it a wonder of the world in three days. These are digressions, though.
Even if you exclude the dense fog and raise your neck to look up with all your strength, you will definitely not see what the top of the mountain range looks like. The tall, large brown rock wall looks exactly like the city wall, and even the tallest building in human society is far from being able to match it.
To be on the safe side, Ji Yuehua once tried to climb to the top of the mountain to investigate whether there was a "calamity beast" on the mountain...... This investigation took him three full days.
It just so happens that there are many natural rock walls, and because the surface of the strait is uneven, it is not difficult to find a place to step on, and climbing up is not too much of a problem for Ji Yuehua, who has a superhuman physique.
It's a question of persistence.
The more you climb, the thinner the air becomes. Naturally, the consumption of stamina becomes faster, and the speed of recovery gradually slows down. Of course, even if you think about it on your toes, there is no food supply at this altitude.
Even if he was as strong as Ji Yuehua, he drank four or five potions to restore his strength, panted on the small protruding rock platform, and ate the food that had been put into the "Divine Treasure Storehouse" beforehand, resting more than a dozen times before barely reaching the top...... Then, of course, because of the thick fog, it was white from the top of the mountain, and nothing could be seen.
