Fifty-four - Intellectual responsibility
(There are important p.s.)
"Thank you for sending me here. Pen %Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, get out of here as fast as you can! The sooner the better!"
After arriving on the south coast, the first thing Ji Yuehua did was to ask the driver who picked him up to leave quickly.
Unlike traditional soldiers.
While this can be physically draining to a large extent, Stigmata bearers can march quickly on the run even without a means of transportation such as a jeep, as is a good example of the last time Zuo Youxin led the Second Division from the West Coast to the North Coast in just over an hour. On the contrary, traditional soldiers have no means of transportation and can only walk.
Even if they run with their last bit of strength and run for their lives...... That speed, at the very least, was four to five times slower than that of the Stigmata Wielder, and it was impossible to escape from the Calambula's clutches. Therefore, it is the best choice to keep ordinary people away from the battlefield as quickly as possible.
After watching the driver's back, until the other party disappeared from his line of sight, Ji Yuehua turned his head and ran to the shore bordering the sea level in front of him.
There, the remains of hundreds of calamity beasts lay there. The first wave of battles had long since ended, and the Eleventh Division, led by Xiao Bieli and Yakumo Zi, and Ruoxi Wan, was standing on the beach waiting for his arrival.
"Satsuki ......"
"Sorry, I'm late. How's the preparation going?"
"As you said, we have improvised several walls of ice on the shore with frost arrows...... But what's the use of this?"
It was only a few minutes before the second group of illagers reached the shore, and in fact, a dense herd of beasts could even be seen approaching from the other side of the ocean.
Before coming here, Ji Yuehua had already explained to Xiao Bieli and Yakumo Zi his idea of exchanging "space" for "time", and entrusted them to use all the remaining frost arrows to create an ice wall on the beach at any cost, so as to block the entire south coast.
In the general direction, Xiao Bieli and Yakumo Zi both agreed with Ji Yuehua's plan. After all, the thirteenth division was short of manpower, and even if it was only a dozen or so people, it was extremely precious. In contrast, it is impossible for the Calamity to carry the Mythical Crystal home, and the building can be demolished and rebuilt, so there is no comparative value at all.
The question is how to implement the plan of exchanging "space" for "time".
In this regard, it took the three of them nearly ten minutes to reach a consensus.
Ji Yuehua's suggestion was to completely abandon the position in the south, and while informing Kenneth to lead the Eighth Division to hold the western defensive line, retreat into the Central Mountains and use the terrain there to hold on, and then seek to join Tachibana Yukino's Fifth Division.
The fundamental reason for this is that the southern part of the island is almost undefendable.
Not to mention the flat, sandy beaches, the only thing that can be said to be exploited along the way is the jungle area. However, the combat effectiveness that humans can exert in the jungle area is not as good as that of the calamity, which retains a large number of wild instincts. The humane replacement of the island's garrison every other year also exacerbates the problem.
In contrast, the mountain range indiscriminately provided a great advantage to the defenders.
If you defend a narrow mountain trail, the numerical advantage will be minimized. In addition, the advantage of being condescending also provides an excellent defense shield for remote personnel. For the Eleventh Division, which was far fewer in number than the Calamity, there was no better place to meet it.
Regarding the above points, at the beginning, Xiao Biali still had a little reservation about giving up almost half of the island at once. This is not any rational thinking, but simply a hesitation to give up what is already in place in a big way. However, as Yakumo Zi expressed his support for Ji Yuehua, because he couldn't think of any better way, he knew that what these two smart people had made was the right decision, and in the end Xiao Bieli had no choice but to agree.
As for the details, after some deliberation, the three of them decided like this.
First, Yakumo Azusa points out that it is possible to exploit the wild instincts of Calamity.
The so-called hunter is an existence that will try his best to chase after the prey as long as the prey is in front. Calambules are not technically capable of thinking, which is why they are easier to use.
If the Eleventh Division retreats back before the second group of Dooms arrives, the Dooms that have not found any trace of the enemy may catch up, or they may search for the location of the Mythical Crystal...... Even geniuses can't say exactly what the situation will be.
However, if you deliberately expose the traces of yourself and others to them, and give a certain degree of blow, you will provoke their blood...... Those beasts that act on instinct will inevitably chase and fight the Eleventh Division.
Using the 11th Division as bait to try to control the route of the Illager as much as possible, and ensure that the Illager does not cause too much damage after invading the island, this is Yakumo Azusa's proposal.
Then, in response to Yakumo Azusa's proposal, Ji Yuehua added a proposal to temporarily create obstacles on the beach to hinder the march of the calamity beasts.
Although Xiao Bieli and Yakumo Zi and the others have doubts about how effective the ice wall can be...... However, given the current shortage of resources at the hands of the 11th Division, there really was nothing that could be used as an obstacle other than the ice created by the Frostfall Arrow. In desperation, Xiao Bieli and the others had no choice but to agree to Ji Yuehua's arrangement to create obstacles on the beach as much as possible before he came here.
Now.
Thanks to the efforts of the 11th Division, two or three walls of ice glittering in the sun were erected from one end of the coast to the other.
Beyond that, more than a hundred irregular hills of ice towered behind the ice wall.
What was once a grain of sand was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, and almost half of the beach was dyed white...... From above, it looks like a snowy country.
That being said.
Sun and sand, snow and ice...... Looking at these elements that each represented an extreme at the same time in the field of vision, this kind of awkward to the extreme, Ji Yuehua, who was the proposer, couldn't help but twitch a little, and couldn't be calm.
However, this is not the focus of his attention right now. Following Ruoxiwan's gaze, he looked at the wonders on the beach...... After a moment, he regained his composure. Ji Yuehua shook her head to expel the superfluous thoughts from her head, and then said, "Whoever told us that we don't have cement and iron, we can only settle it now." Let's work on them a little bit before they arrive!"
