XLIV - Decision
"You four, you're finally back! Originally, I was ready to send Jiang Yun and Elleth to find your traces."
By the time Ji Yuehua and the four of them returned to the woods just now, the "Calamity Beasts" in the field had been swept away, leaving only dead bodies everywhere. As commanders, Xue Hongchen and Yue Qingqi have also come here, merging with the scattered teams here and the home team.
Seeing the four of them coming back slowly, Xue Hongchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put away the blood-stained soft sword in his hand, and stepped forward to greet him. However, before he could finish speaking, his voice paused because he saw the bandage tied to Ji Yuehua's hand.
"Moonflower"
"It's just a fight with an A-Rank "mutant", and you can't die."
"I see, have you also encountered an A-Rank enemy?"
Judging from the fact that everyone at the scene had not yet put away all their weapons, Xue Hongchen and the others had obviously just eliminated all the "calamity beasts" here. Therefore, it is natural that he has not yet asked his subordinates about the whereabouts of Bayi Yonglin.
Hearing Bayi Yonglin's reply, Xue Hongchen furrowed her delicate eyebrows, "I thought that the nine on our side were all of them, but it turned out that you also had one over there, obviously none of them passed, but not all of them, that is to say, the guys who attacked this time are not just from the direction of the West Coast?"
"What about the possibility of an ambush here a long time ago?"
"No, that shouldn't be likely. Even if it was an ambush, it would have been quite small. Answering Yayi Yonglin's question without thinking, Xue Hongchen explained, "Although the number of 'calamity beasts' that attacked us is large, it is largely accumulated through a steady stream of reinforcements. Although wheel warfare is not easy, it is easier to deal with than the enemy rushing up. It is also a blessing that we were able to contain such a small number of casualties. Assuming that the "Calamitymon" really have the brains to set up an ambush, they should put all the troops in their hands in one go, rather than rushing over in batches, especially since it is impossible to send the A-Rank "Calamitymon" as the main combat force to different places. I think of this as a "hostile encounter with the West Coast." and then during the engagement to bring in reinforcements from other directions", which may be more suitable. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Hongchen glanced at the four of them again, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, "However, when you encounter an A-Rank enemy, you only pay this level of price, and you really deserve to be the granddaughters of the marshal." ”
"Isn't it possible that me and this guy have cleaned up the enemy?"
Hearing Xue Hongchen's one-sided appreciation of Yayun Zi and the others, although it was a fact, for some reason, Yayi Yonglin asked a little unwillingly.
"It can't be. Yonglin, you have no actual combat experience. Yuehua is not enough to act as a shield. ”
Next to Xue Hongchen, in a light tone, Yue Qingque answered unabashedly in place of Xue Hongchen. Then, it caused Ji Yuehua and Xue Hongchen to smile bitterly.
"Sister Yue, you still speak so ruthlessly."
"Qing Que, this is the first time I've told you, be tactful when you speak?"
There is always no way to be straightforward with her sweetheart, and it has always been the same from the past to the present, Xue Hongchen sighed and shook his head, and looked at Ji Yuehua and the two apologetically. He looked like he didn't know how to speak, and said, "That Qing is missing, she's just"
"Alright. It's not the first day I met the commander of the 12th Division, and I know that she has no ill intentions. And. She's just telling the truth, isn't she?" didn't deny what Yue Qingque said, but she had no intention of continuing to talk about this topic, Bayi Yonglin changed her words and asked, "So, what's next?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's to keep marching. Crossing this forest, rushing to the vicinity of a cave on the west coast in one day, and then encamping and resting after eliminating the enemy there? Or is it necessary to rectify and clean up the aftermath around here, and rest for a day first?"
There was a pause. Bayi Yonglin casually glanced at the bandage on Ji Yuehua's hand, and then continued, "From what I can see, although the number of "dead" is not much, the "injured" can't be said to be few, right? Nearly a third of the people were attacked with injuries, and counting the physical exertion of hurrying, would they have to storm the enemy's stronghold in such a situation? Since it's the location of the "Divine Crystal" mine, it must be quite tricky, right?"
"But, on the other hand, it's not a good camping spot in the woods, and now it's good to say that it's daytime, and if it's night, it's not a little disadvantageous on our side. Our night vision is not as good as that of the beast."
What Bayi Yonglin said also has her truth.
This time, I didn't answer without thinking about it as I did just now. Xue Hongchen said as he frowned and thought. After a long time, he slowly shook his head and said, "I don't think that the guys we killed here are all the 'calamity' on the island. However, there were 400 to 500 Calamity Beasts killed on our side alone, which did not match the results of Yuehua's reconnaissance at all. Although the staggered distance from the enemy in the course of reconnaissance and the inability to penetrate in some places were also a reason, the number was too far apart. "Counting wrong" or something, I don't think Yuehua, who can even remember the number of steps he walks, would make a mistake of this magnitude. If it weren't for reinforcements coming from where we couldn't see it."
"Is there anything on this island that can produce Calamity Beasts in large quantities?" took over Xue Hongchen's words, and Bayi Yonglin muttered to herself.
"So, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I think it's better to go straight and take the beaches of the west coast and establish an official base. The offensive and defensive battles in the flat areas will not be in the same situation as they were just now, and the wounded and tired can stand in the back position, and if I and Haruka are here, we should theoretically be able to deal with most of the situation, I think so. ”
After listening to Xue Hongchen's judgment, Bayi Yonglin was silent for a while before she spoke, "Well, I'm just making suggestions." Indeed, I didn't notice the anomaly of the quantity. I retract the preamble, in that case, it may be better to seize the West Coast stronghold quickly. ”
On her pretty face, she didn't see any change in expression, and she was as cute as ever and couldn't speak.
"But, until then, I also want to make a request. It's not uncommon to be able to realistically encounter A-Rank "Calamity" or anything like that at the Headquarters, so I'd like to bring some research materials back. On the "mutant" side, I've already asked my sister No. 2 over there to do it for me. When you get to the battlefield you just had, can you help me cut off some of the Calamity's body parts?"
However, I don't know why
In Ji Yuehua's ears, I always felt that I was a little unhappy when I heard the eight meanings

PS: P.S.1: It's a disaster to just take care of the exam revision, and yesterday it wasn't until more than 10 o'clock in the evening that I started to code words, but I didn't notice that there were only more than 1,990 words when yesterday's update was uploaded, which is just a few words short
P.S.2: Thank you for the monthly pass of "Mirror Moon Phantom", "Demon King Seed", and "Daohua 3000".
