Chapter 25 Gambling
"There's news from the imperial capital?"
"The parliament did not pass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Expected. Is there any news from Zinu?"
"Zi Nu also sent back news three days ago, four crystal nuclei have been collected, and all the raw materials for the formation layout have been prepared, and Zi Nu will be able to arrange the formation when he returns seven days later. Just ......"
"What's wrong?" Orlysses asked suspiciously, seeing Guo Chuanfeng struggling.
Zuo Congwen has not given up yet, and has already set off for the ghost town again, and Jon is also in the accompanying party. β
"Jon? When?" said Olisses, furrowed.
"The third day after the camp council. β
"It's been five days? Why is the news coming now? Oclysses asked disapprovingly.
"The news is not trivial, and if it is not handled properly, it is easy to expose the inside line. β
The marshal personally dispatched it, which was naturally extraordinary, and if even such news was leaked, it would obviously be doubtful that there was a ghost within the camp. When it is suspected, it is not far from the inner line being removed. In order to ensure the safety of the internal line, it is indeed a wiser choice to pass on the information a few days later.
It's just that it's more secure for the inner line, but for the ghost town and the underworld, it's a lot more dangerous. Zinu and the others will be able to come back in seven days, and if they set up the formation after returning, then it will inevitably take a lot of manpower. And Jon and the others have been on their way for five days, and the arrival date is almost no different from Zinu and the others.
Seven days is really not much time left for Olisses and the others. If according to common sense, after Zi Nu and the others come back, it is the right solution to gather combat power to give priority to Jon and others. However, what Hades lacks the most now is time! Look at the slightly obscure sky, even if Zi Nu and the others set up a large array immediately after they returned, they may not be able to catch up, how could it be postponed for the sake of Jon and the others.
"Who else but Jon?"
"Zuo Congrong, Suoxia, Sophia, and Haidongling, a group of six people. β
"Six...... , hurry up and call the master and ask him to come to the ghost town! After a moment of silence, Olisses commanded decisively.
"Master, wouldn't such a haste reveal the target?"
"Where can I take care of this, even if it is exposed, I have to do it, and Jon must be stopped out of the ghost town!" Olisses sighed, and said in a tone of absolute inconclusion.
The time when Jon and the others arrived and the time when Zi Nu came back almost coincided. If Zi Nu didn't come back a few days earlier, the ghost city would have been able to free up manpower to deal with the current situation, and if it was a few days later, the formation map had been activated, and the manpower put into the activation of the formation map could also be recruited to deal with Jon and the others, but it happened that they rushed together, in vain.
And now, as long as the formation diagram is activated at that time, the strong fluctuating aura is bound to cause Jon's vigilance. And the ghost town is also the location of the dominant formation of the formation, if Jon breaks into the ghost town, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
Based on hundreds of years, with Jon's iron wrist and that strong strength, where can the ghost city still have the ability to resist the impact of a god, and when the leading array is broken, a hundred years of hard work will be destroyed in an instant.
"However, even if the master comes, the three gods, can we stop it? Or ......"
"No, now is not the time for him to make a move. When the time comes, after activating the big array, let Lu Tonghai dominate the operation of the array, and the master and I will personally take action, leaving Lihattian and Jiagu behind, plus you, be sure to stop them. Olisses said with a grim face.
In seven days at most, everything will break out in a concentrated manner, but now the defense of the ghost town is not perfect, even if you make an urgent call to the master's place now, it may not necessarily be able to rush over, and the ghost town will not have enough combat power at that time, how can it block the impact of the three gods.

"Siya, how are the preparations going over there in Cloud City?"
"The Monster invasion has just ended, what else do you need to prepare?" Soxia was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"Sister, Aunt Qiao is asking about your marriage. Seeing that Soxia didn't react, Sophia reminded.
"Huh?" Sosia blushed, not knowing for a moment what to answer.
"Hehe, what's so embarrassing about this, the man should marry the woman and get married, your marriage has been delayed again and again, this time it is not easy to get together, of course, I have to make it clear, otherwise I am the master, how to arrange for Congwen. β
"It's almost ready, if it weren't for the lack of grooms, it would have been done long ago. Suoxia glanced at Zuo Congwen and said resentfully.
"Hehe, I heard it from the text, the bride is not happy. Jon was in a good mood and teased the apprentice.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my eldest brother and sister Siya would have been married by now. β
"Little ghost, don't see outside, Siya and Master are just joking. If it weren't for you, it was unknown whether the Yuncheng defense line could hold it, so how could I blame you. Besides, without your participation, our wedding would be so lively. β
"Siya, I'm sorry......"
"I know. β
"When I go back this time, let's handle your marriage first. Jon said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Zuo Congwen and Suo Xia were both stunned and exclaimed.
"It's been delayed for almost three months, and it can't be delayed any longer. I chose several good days and auspicious days, but now I have missed them, how can I delay your lifelong events because of the affairs of the camp. Jon said with a sigh.
"Master, we are not in a hurry ......"
"Don't worry, I'm afraid that now I will be scolded in my heart for not being humane, and I will make you two hard-working mandarin ducks suffer for more than two months. β
"Aunt Qiao, how can you be so exaggerated. Sosia said shyly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you exaggerate or not, anyway, you will get married in more than half a month, and if you want to say bad things about me behind your back, you don't have much time. β
"Master, the matter here has not been resolved, can you spare time?"
"Not yet, why do you think it hasn't been resolved?" Jon asked rhetorically with interest.
"......" was asked by Jon, and Zuo Congwen really didn't know how to answer at the moment. A group of six people has just set off for the ghost town now, and they haven't even skimmed the eight characters, how can it have been solved?
"Congwen, when doing things, be decisive, no matter what, first of all, you must be able to afford to put it down, do the master, you are the marshal of the camp, and the responsibility of shouldering the foundation of the camp in the future is on you, how can you do it without a little responsibility. β
"I understand the truth. It's just that some things are difficult to grasp, and the so-called decisiveness is sometimes judged from the outcome, and all judgments may lead to the deterioration of the event before the result appears. Being in a high position, I think we should be more cautious. Zuo Congwen came to a different conclusion.
"It's good to be cautious about some things, but if you're cautious about everything, it's cowardice. Take this incident as an example, if you judge the signs of the ghost town and the destruction of the world, if you still stick to the concept of being cautious and resting on your laurels, by the time you wake up, I am afraid that the world will be destroyed long ago. β
"By the way, Aunt Qiao, what do you mean when you said it has been resolved?" Sophia interjected.
"What do you think I'm going to the ghost town with you for?" Jon asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it to gather intelligence?"
"I'm just going to the ghost town with you to check the situation in the ghost town. Gathering intelligence, gathering evidence, this kind of thing has never been what a marshal should do. β
β......β
β......β
β......β
"And then?" after hearing Jon's unexpected answer, everyone fell silent, and after a long time, Zuo Congrong asked cautiously.
Originally, the plan of the few people was to collect intelligence, and then go back and submit it to the parliament, and convene the camp council again to strive for the support of the parliament. But according to Jon, this part is completely unnecessary, so what's the point of going to a ghost town in this way?
"Then, naturally, it is to raise 100,000 iron brigades and set foot in the ghost town!" Jon suddenly said with pride.
"What about the people of the ghost town?"
"In the future, there will be no more ghost towns, and the people of ghost towns will naturally not have any more. Jon understated.
But the people were innocent. And our speculation has not been confirmed......"
"Seven years ago, before the turmoil in the sea, do you know why Haihua listened to you and activated Haicheng's moat map?" Jon didn't answer, but brought up the old story from a few years ago.
"Because I told him there would be turmoil in the seas, so I ......"
"So he believed it? Don't forget, you were nothing at the time, just an ordinary student hiding incognito in the Second Academy. Why should Haihua believe what you say!"
"Because...... , because ......" Zuo Congrong suddenly lost his confidence, he hadn't thought about it before, but when Jon asked so directly, Zuo Congrong suddenly figured out a lot of things. No matter from any point of view, Haihua could not believe his one-sided words as a stranger.
"Because he can't afford to gamble!" Jon gave the standard answer when Zuo Congrong was at a loss.
Can't afford to gamble! It is indeed impossible to gamble, even if it is a small possibility, Haihua must strangle it in the cradle, even if the price of stifling it is to require Haicheng to pay half of the resources!
Because he can't afford to gamble, and if he loses the bet, the entire Haicheng will be doomed.
"According to you, isn't that anyone who can trick the Temple of War into making the wrong decision? β
"Of course not. He will believe because he sees your measure. Just as I would have made this decision, I believe in you and in your measure. β
"So, I can't afford to gamble, in the integrity of the world and the integrity of the ghost town, I can only choose the answer that maximizes the benefits. Because I am the marshal of the camp, because I have more than my personal responsibilities. Jon said heavily.
