Sixty-eight - Race against time
The third option. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rescue of Ruoxi Wan and Xiao Bieli is the first priority, but it is just an efficiency proposal set with the biggest goal of rescuing everyone in the Central Mountain Range.
There is no way to ensure that the Immortal and Infernal Wolves will be killed before the army of Illagers on the other two shores reaches the walls of the Commander's Fortress...... On the other hand, there is no guarantee that after saving one of them, the other will be able to stand alone until they are separated from the enemy who has attacked the Central Mountains...... Not to mention anything else, if the first person to be rescued is met by Hades, it is very likely to develop into a tough battle with an unknown victory, on the contrary, how long the other person can last under the hands of Hades has become a big question.
You can't have it both ways, and for that, you have to make a choice.
So, here, Yakumo Azusa made a compromise decision.
Before that, the reason why the strength of the four people would not necessarily have a chance of winning was purely because of time constraints...... Even if it was them, four pairs of five hundred plus an S-rank calamity beast was still quite difficult. Now it's different, no more trash fish...... It doesn't even take the power of three people, even if it's just two people, it's enough to cut down the Purgatory Demon Wolf.
Hence the consideration here.
Despite being two against one, the speed of picking up the enemy is much slower than with three against one...... However, it is slightly more efficient than running back and forth to clean up the Purgatory Demon Wolf and Hades in succession.
Whether Ji Yuehua or Yakumo Zi meets the Hades, the battle on the other side is almost certain to be a steady victory. Then, because the mountain beast moved slowly, it didn't pose a threat for a while, and the winning side went back to the Commander Fortress in the Central Mountain Range to help defend it.
It is a question of how many remnants of the Eighth Division will return to the Commander's Fortress alive, but there should be no problem for Division Commander Kenneth to survive. As for the Fifth Division, it is expected that it should be able to preserve at least a third of its combat strength and return there.
The Hellwolf, the Hades, and the Mountain Behemoths are all to the south, so as you can imagine, the main opponents of the defenders are the Centaur Knights, the White Wolves of the North, and the Orangutan of the Ghost King. Led by the 5th and 8th Divisions, where Yukino Tachibana and Kenneth were still alive, and the 11th Division, which lacked a division commander but was almost unharmed...... Depending on the situation, add Yakumo Zi and Xiao Bieli, who rushed back from this side of the jungle temporarily, or Ruoxi Wan and Ji Yuehua themselves. If you have to say it, it's not really as desperate as you first imagined.
The only problem here is a few uncertainties.
Although it sounds more reliable to support it alone with two enemies, the opponent is the strongest calamity beast in the history of the military department, can the side that clashes with the Hades really hold on?
In addition, the Purgatory Demon Wolf's relative restraint against Ji Yuehua and the disadvantages of melee personnel also existed. Whether it was Ji Yuehua or Yakumo Zi who bumped into this opponent, in the end, they could only take out a frost falling arrow with a certain restraint effect as a cover pinning shot. Because of this, although it is impossible to lose to the weaker of the two opponents, the Purgatory Demon Wolf...... After all, it's just a theory. How much time it will actually take, and whether it will be able to get back before the Commander Fortress is bleeding, is unknown.
What's more.
Although they have exhausted all their strength in battle, including all stratagems and all physical strength...... However, it is the first premise to give up on fighting the mountain beasts. If that giant calamity beast landed on the island, at the very least, four or five fortresses would have been destroyed. Then, even if it was assumed that the Commander's army would be able to annihilate all enemies except the Mountain Behemoth and the Immortal in a bloody battle, the two men who fought against the Immortal would survive until that time...... Will the remaining remnants of the island still have enough power to rescue those two men in the hands of the Immortal King and face the mountain beasts?
The Fifth and Eighth Divisions had lost more than half of them, and even Adjutant William Lewis had died on the Eighth Division's side! And this is only the result of the first stage of the battle.
In Ji Yuehua's opinion, it would have been quite difficult for the army of the Commander Fortress to achieve victory. As for completing both of the above objectives after winning, it is even more fantastic!
But...... So far, we can only take one step at a time.
Yakumo Zi made a decision faster than him, and Ji Yuehua had no choice. Although, in fact, in the proposal he wants to say, there is no other difference except for the replacement of the target of the rescue of the two.
After sharing the remaining frost arrows with her sister Yakumo Zi, Ji Yuehua hung up the call with Yayi Yonglin and ran towards the location of Ruoxiwan in the other party's mouth.
..........
..........
At this time, at the Coast Defense Command......
"Open the door, I want to see the old man in the east and the old man in the left!"
Outside the door of the conference room on the twenty-third floor of the main building of the military headquarters, Bayi Yonglin, who had just finished talking to Ji Yuehua, spoke violently to the two doormen in front of her.
Because of the extraordinary period, except for a few division commanders who had already gone out to carry out tasks and Bayi Yonglin, whose post should theoretically be in the Technology Development Bureau, almost all the remaining high-level personnel of the 13th Division of the Military Department were concentrated here. Outside the gate, two members of the First Division, who rarely showed up, were sent to guard the gate to avoid being harassed by some idlers who were not among the participants.
So, there's a problem.
With the identity and authority of Bayi Yonglin, in principle, she is absolutely qualified to participate in the meeting. However, on the other hand, because Bayi Yonglin could not theoretically leave her post without permission in this situation, and her age was really young compared to others...... According to Zuo Youxin's original plan, she was indeed not invited.
Although the identity of the first division is not comparable to that of the other 12 divisions, it does not mean that it can compete with the important personnel at the division commander level. Therefore, in the face of Bayi Yonglin, who had already put on a tough posture, the two members of the first division had to look at each other, not knowing how to react.
Then.
"Let her in."
A majestic voice sounded from inside the door, and it was like a heavenly sound to the two doormen.
The two of them opened the door to the conference room as if they had received amnesty...... At this time, what caught the eyes of Bayi Yonglin was Zuo Youxin, who was sitting in the chief, and Hua Zhaoye and Zuo Xiaotang on both sides of him.
As for the Eastern Canglong, which should have been here, it has disappeared.
"Where's the old man of the East?"
Unable to understand this situation for a moment, Bayi Yonglin blinked her eyes blankly.
In response to her question, Zuo Youxin had a bitter expression...... I don't know whether to say it's sorrow, self-deprecation, or helplessly smiling bitterly, I shook my head and said, "You're late." That guy ran out ten minutes ago. (To be continued.) )
