Sixty-seven - Critical decision-making

"The east side of the island...... Isn't that a cliff?!"

"I guess I landed by a forced climb, right? It can't be crossed, and it's just a standard for ordinary people. With its flexibility www.biquge.info it should not be difficult to choose a suitable foothold from the rock wall. Then, preliminary estimates put the total number of illers that invaded the island at about 1,800...... Among them, there are two groups of enemies on both sides of your south coast and on the other two sides. As for the number, it is similar, about the first batch of 200, the second batch of 400, I think it should be to use trash fish to consume your combat power, and then let the main force appear?"

"In the case of beasts, it was really a well-thought-out battle...... What's wrong with Sister Xue Nai and the commander of the Eighth Division?"

Although he was anxious and wanted to rush to the second sister's side to help, the position of commander on his body was not relieved because of the small victory just now, and only temporarily eliminated the urgent need.

The best decision can only be made if we are fully aware of the present...... Over the years, as an adjutant, his rationality, as many times before, forced Ji Yuehua to calm down.

"I'm about to tell you about this, too. But...... You'd better be mentally prepared first. ”

The hesitation in Bayi Yonglin's tone made Ji Yuehua's heart sound a warning call.

I've known Bayi Yonglin for a long time, but I've rarely heard this genius sister use such a dignified tone when she speaks.

What does this reflect? This reflects...... The situation of Tachibana Yukino and the Eighth Division is so serious that it can be described as "not optimistic". At the very least, among the four important members of the division commander and the adjutant, I am afraid that at least one person has already encountered an accident!

Just as Ji Yuehua was thinking like this...... Sure enough, in the next second, Bayi Yonglin had continued.

"The Fifth Division, because only the centaur knights are more tricky, seems to have barely supported it for a while, and now it is retreating towards the Central Mountain Command...... The number of people who lost the signal was about half of the total number of members, right? Words of the Eighth Division...... Because he faced two S-rank calamity beasts at the same time, he fought and retreated from the beginning. Even so, they have lost more than half of their manpower...... Among them, Adjutant William Lewis was confirmed dead. The commander of the 8th Division was retreating to the Central Mountains with the remnants of his troops...... Above. ”

“......”

It turns out that when humans are surprised, they really fall into absolute silence.

This situation is not so much "pretty bad" as "it's just terrible"! It's no longer a matter of strategy...... When the combat power is so poor, it really makes people want to ask if there is still a need to struggle.

Seven S-rank Calamity Beasts, plus eighteen hundred trash fish...... Even if it is roughly estimated, he and the others have now collected at least 1,200 ordinary calamity beasts and one S-rank calamity beast, but there are still a full six demon king-level enemies and six hundred miscellaneous fish!!

On their side, on the other hand, the three divisions together were only about 100 people, and among them, there were six commanders. Counting Yakumo Zi, the two and him are nine. It was now almost a third of the loss, and one of the nine dignitaries had been killed.

If you look at it purely by numbers, it may seem that there is indeed a turning point here.

The enemy's casualty rate is already more than two-thirds, while their side is only one-third. In addition, the ratio of each other's VIPs is seven to nine, with each currently losing one.

Considering that they still have a large number of traditional soldiers on their side, although they are not considered combat power, they can still play some roles...... Based on this premise, they should be able to outperform each other in numerical comparisons! If...... They ignored the fact that only five of the eight remaining VIPs were theoretically close to the enemy's leader, and that there were two leaders on the Calamity Beast's side who couldn't defeat them even if their core members were two enemies and one strong.

"Okay, let me sort things out first. Now, the 8th Division is the first to bear the brunt, followed by the 5th Division, which is fighting and retreating, and one of the 11th Division Commanders is facing the enemy's strongest calamity beast ever...... Something, it's a relatively good situation. Then, the 11th Division is currently the most theoretically complete combat force...... Am I wrong?"

"By and large, it's exactly right."

"Ahhh Why don't you evacuate from the island after meeting up with Sister Ruoxi and Sister Yukino?"

"Satsuki?"

"I know! It's just a joke, anyway, Sister Zi, you will definitely not agree to leave the people on the island and escape. ”

The severity of the situation has reached a point where there is no way to see the light of day, and even Ji Yuehua began to retreat.

Although Ji Yuehua has long been accustomed to the life of the 13th Division of the Military Department, he does regard himself as one of the leaders of the 13th Division, and strictly requires himself to make thoughts and behaviors that are in line with this identity...... That doesn't mean he's going to hold on unconditionally in all the battles that don't stand out.

If he was the only one, he wouldn't mind fighting to the death with these guys who directly caused the death of his teacher Nangong Longfei due to injuries...... However, protecting the three of Yakumo Azusa will always be his main premise.

If you want to put the lives of the three Yakumo Azusa and the members of the 13th Division of the Military Department on the scale, a choice must be made between the two, and Ji Yuehua can really have that choice...... Then, maybe he would really choose the plan with saving the lives of the three Yakumo Azusa as the top priority.

It's a pity.

Although Ji Yuehua values the three of Yakumo Azusa the most, at the same time, the relationship with Tachibana Yukino is also very good. In the most extreme case, he may be able to abandon his sense of mission and personal morality, as well as unfamiliar teachers and ordinary people such as Xiao Bieli and Wei Liangyu, for the sake of Yakumo Zi and the three of them...... However, Tachibana Yukino is definitely not in this case.

It was impossible for Yakumo Azusa and Ruoxi Wan alone to allow him to escape...... Then, if you want to take Tachibana Yukino out of this place, the premise must be the safe evacuation of all military personnel on the island. The cost of doing so is that you have to fight at least three retreats in a row, and then stop the Calambulant army for at least thirty to forty minutes...... This is basically the same as a frontal fight with an army of Calamity. Either they are dead and there is no need to retreat, or they are dead and don't have to think about the future.

"Okay...... So, what do you do now?"

Since there is no choice in itself, in the end, I have to bite the bullet.

Judging from the information given by Bayi Yonglin, the most critical situation is Kenneth's Eighth Division, which in principle needs rescue the most...... However, on the other hand, Kenneth's Eighth Division was also the only detachment that could definitely turn the situation back even if Ji Yuehua and Yakumo Zi rushed over in a hurry...... In terms of the big picture, the rescue operation for them can be described as the most inefficient plan.

Therefore, although it seems a bit cruel, I have to hope that Kenneth and others will be blessed.

Now, Ji Yuehua can think of three plans.

The first plan is to immediately go to the direction of the northern shore to support Tachibana Yukino. Since there was only one centaur rider in the direction of Tachibana Yukino, the two of them rushed over to it to be a sure victory. However, the downside is that there is no guarantee that the remnants of the Eighth Division will rush back to meet the enemy before they retreat to the Commander's Fortress, and it is not known whether Ruoxi Wan and Xiao Bieli will be able to hold out from the decisive battle against the S-Rank Class Calamity.

In the second plan, the two of them went to the location of one of Ruoxiwan and Xiao Bielaway, and on the premise that there were no more five hundred calamity beasts in the way, they would work together to kill the S-rank calamity beast with the strength of the three of them, and then find another person to do what they had just done again...... Once all is settled, head to the Central Mountains to join the 5th and 8th Divisions. Because the condition of the 5th Division was not as critical as that of the 8th Division, there was a good chance of returning to the commander's fortress alive. There, rendezvous with the 11th Division, which was ordered by Ji Yuehua to assist in the defense, coupled with the advantages of the city defense and the participation of ordinary soldiers, the 5th Division could be greatly delayed, and there might even be a chance to turn defeat into victory...... Of course, when the enemy on the side of the 8th Division also arrived, it would be impossible to defend with the 5th Division and the 11th Division, which lacked a division commander. The key to victory or defeat lies in whether Ji Yuehua and the four of them can rush back in time.

With three against one, and even with four against one later, in principle, there will be no chance of victory. The problem here is that even Ji Yuehua herself doesn't know how long it will take her to kill the Hades and the Purgatory Demon Wolf...... Especially the Hades King, which is a strong enemy that even Zuo Youxin can't take...... If the calamity beasts in the other two directions had merged faster than them, it would have been foreseeable that there would have been a river of blood on the other side of the central mountain range.

And then there's one last option......

After thinking about it for a while, I already had a decision in my heart. Ji Yuehua raised her head and looked at Yakumo Zi, who had not spoken a word since just now.

Unexpectedly, Yakumo Zi had already taken the lead in speaking, "I'll go to support Senior Commander Xiao." Satsuki, you go to Wan. After defeating the enemy, let's assemble in the Central Mountains!" (To be continued.) )
