After telling Dongfang Canglong and Zuo Youxin about the situation on Tachibana Yukino's side, the three of them, including Ji Yuehua, fell into silence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 13th Division of the Army Headquarters was seriously understaffed. It can be said that it is very difficult to send manpower to the island to assist in the defense.

Having said that, for the current 13th Division of the Military Department, the island with three Mythical Crystal deposits at the same time is the only supply place for Mythical Crystals.

With the advancement of mythical technology, the mythical crystal has become the most precious energy source and material indispensable for the 13th Division of the Military Department. Whether it's producing and implanting new metaphorical stigmata or crafting metaphorical weapons, it's all based on metaphorical crystals.

According to the estimation of Bayi Yonglin, the Divine Crystal Mine on the island is at least enough to cover all the needs of the 13th Division of the Military Department in the next ten years...... However, at the same time, the 13th Division of the Military Headquarters did not find any other new Divine Crystal deposits in the nearby seas.

The veins discovered by previous generations have long been exhausted.

The loss of that island would be equivalent to paralyzing the operation of the entire Technology Development Bureau, and it would be a devastating blow to the 13th Division of the Military Department.

Further deployment of manpower to the island where Tachibana Yukino is located would weaken the defenses of the mainland mainland. On the other hand, if the situation on the other side of the Rika Xue Nai is ignored, or if the island is simply abandoned, the 13th Division of the Military Department that has lost the Divine Crystal Mine will inevitably come to an end, and in fact, it will only delay the death period slightly, but cut off all retreats.

Either option is by no means the right approach...... Knowing this, no one dares to speak easily.

Zuo Youxin, Ji Yuehua, and even Dongfang Canglong all closed their mouths. While their minds were working, the minutes passed. In the end, it was Zuo Youxin who took the lead and broke the silence.

"Hmm...... In short, let the old man tidy it up first. ”

Depending on the seriousness of the matter, polite remarks, opening remarks, etc., are all omitted.

Zuo Youxin frowned tightly, stroked his beard, and said, "Although Xue Nai did tell us before, the number of calamity beast attacks has increased significantly recently...... However, as the number of invasions by the Calamber on our native continent has become more frequent, the Dragon and I believe that this is just the inevitable result of the Calambulance Beasts officially declaring war on us. Given that there has not yet been an opponent other than the Hades who is stronger than the two divisions, we two old fellows mistakenly believe that the situation is within the scope of what the two divisions can handle...... Now it seems that it is clear that our two old guys misjudged. ”

"After all, our side is focused on the native continent...... Considering that there are a lot of reports of Calambulum invasions on our side, it is only natural that there will be such preconceived ideas. In fact, even Sister Yonglin and I never thought that the situation on Sister Yukino's side would be so serious...... If it weren't for Sister Yukino's friendship with me in private, maybe by the time we knew about it, we would have fallen into an irreparable situation. It's a good thing to be able to deal with it early now. ”

"Hahaha, don't excuse us two old men, boy. Not noticing the anomaly on the side of the Yukino girl, this is indeed our responsibility...... What do you think about this matter compared to this? Is there a way to strengthen the defenses on the side of the Yukino girl without deploying manpower?"

The shoe is on the other foot.

Today's Ji Yuehua is no longer the child who would be scared by Zuo Youxin's office.

Although he only held the rank of adjutant of the 13th Division, he actually stood here as a representative of the Technology Development Bureau. The current Ji Yuehua, both in terms of identity and status, has surpassed ordinary division commanders, and she is qualified enough to discuss important matters with Dongfang Canglong and Zuo Youxin.

Regarding this point, both Ji Yuehua and Dongfang Canglong have long taken it for granted and are accustomed to it.

Therefore, Ji Yuehua was not surprised or timid because Dongfang Canglong asked for his opinion, but just thought silently for a while, and then replied, "This...... Naturally, there are solutions. For example, I can arrange for the Technology Development Bureau to give priority to requests from the 5th and 8th Divisions from now on, and on the other hand, I can unconditionally allocate a batch of supplies to the members of the 5th and 8th Divisions. For example, if you are a C-Rank or lower Illaer, it is difficult for ordinary arrows and sharp arrows to deal very effective damage unless they hit the vital point directly...... On the other hand, if you explode the flame arrow, you can hit the opponent hard no matter where it hits, and if the place where it hits is adjacent to the heart and head, you can kill the opponent in an instant. There are many measures such as these. Of course, we can also build a façade around the island, literally turning the entire island into a sea fortress. But ......"

"Is the core of the problem always a shortage of manpower?"

Seeing that Ji Yuehua said this, his tone became a little hesitant, and Zuo Youxin sighed and gave the answer sharply instead of him.

"Exactly."

Ji Yuehua nodded slightly, and continued, "All we can do in the Technology Development Bureau is to improve the combat effectiveness of the Fifth and Eighth Divisions, and create more favorable conditions for them as much as possible...... It's just like the request made by Sister Yukino herself. However, the utility of both is always limited. It's okay to talk about an ordinary invasion...... In the face of an overwhelming disparity in numbers, under the premise of insufficient manpower, no matter how sufficient the preparation is in advance, it will eventually be a difference of "killing a few more enemies", and the impact on the overall situation will not be great. Regarding this point, I believe that you should know better than me, Old Man Zuo. ”

"Ha," no matter how well prepared you are, you will eventually kill a few more enemies...... Is it? This sentence came out of your boy's mouth, and it was unusually convincing!"

More than six years ago, Ji Yuehua once accompanied her two sisters and followed Zuo Youxin to participate in the last battle of the island raiders.

At that time, because the deployment of the two sides in the final battle happened to be opposite--the 13th Division of the Army Headquarters aimed at the total annihilation of the calamity beasts, so it dispersed its own strength; Calamity, on the other hand, is centered on the Guardian Queen, concentrating almost all of its combat power on one point. As a result, the troops led by Zuo Youxin fell into a situation where they were fighting against 1,500 calamity beasts with thirty-two people. (To be continued.) )
