Chapter 1: Above the Wasteland (Part II)
Qiu Qian took Snow Shadow to the command center, which was already busy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun Tao controls various surveillance facilities around the fortress, and through his ability to share vision, everyone in the command can clearly observe the surrounding situation.
When he saw Qiu Qian coming, he immediately reported to him about his current work.
"An emergency plan for the retreat has been implemented, and the first monsters will arrive within an hour. We've been in touch with Fortress 3 of the Thunder Guild and have agreed to our request to settle in. Gordon was already arranging for the non-combatants to retreat, and Fat Man and Rams were deploying for battle on the periphery of the fortress, using tactics with minimal casualties, and it was expected to delay the monsters for at least 3 hours. ”
"The retreat plan will be canceled, and all evolutionaries above level 5 must participate in the battle and must hold this fortress. ”
Qiu Qian's temporary change of plan puzzled everyone present, but Qiu Qian's excellent strategic deployment in previous battles had already won everyone's convincing. Although I didn't understand why I had to hold the fortress, no one objected.
"Sister Qian, I know that you are definitely stronger than me in terms of tactical arrangements, but if you do this, many people will die, and maybe all of them will be wiped out. Sun Tao didn't think that Qiu Qian hadn't thought about this, he just thought about whether he could convince the soldiers below.
Retreat is undoubtedly a risky move, but holding on is tantamount to suicide, and everyone knows this.
Of course, Qiu Qian understood Sun Tao's intentions, but she couldn't tell the truth to these people. If everyone knew that holding the fortress was just Ye Heng's request, I was afraid that no one would be willing to carry out this order except Sun Tao and them.
"Snow Shadow and I will personally lead the troops into battle. Qiu Qian said.
After explaining the new tactical arrangements, Qiu Qian and Xue Ying changed into combat uniforms, walked to the big screen in the command room, and launched a front mobilization for the whole fortress.
"Fellow guild members, I am Qiu Qian, the chief of staff of the Eternal Guild. I'm sure you've all been notified to hold the fortress a few minutes ago, and you're sure to be confused about this arrangement. ”
Qiu Qian's voice sounded over the entire fortress, and everyone stopped what they were doing after hearing Qiu Qian's voice.
"First of all, I would like to reiterate once again that the scale of this monster attack is far beyond the defensive capabilities of the fortress, and the possibility of losing it is extremely high. Sticking to the base is entirely my own will, and I don't want to give up on the fortress I built with my own hands. However, I will not take everyone to death. In this battle, I will fight on the front line with the vice president, and I promise that there will be no casualties until I die in battle. ”
Hearing Qiu Qian say this, the snow shadow on the side almost lost control, but she was immediately stopped by Sun Tao on the side and asked her to wait for Qiu Qian to finish her words first.
"The retreat plan will be carried out after my death, and after my death, the position of Chief of Staff will be transferred to Gordon, and the Eternal Guild will be merged into the Thunder Guild after this. ”
Qiu Qian didn't say anything sensational, she didn't want to see those people die for themselves. Anyway, she understood that Ye Heng's purpose was just to kill her, and Ye Ling had promised Qiu Qian before that if she had an accident during the time she was protecting Ye Heng, she would resurrect her in the next energy cycle and ensure the safety of all members of the Eternal Guild in the name of the Nativity Tower.
Qiu Qian didn't really care if he could be reborn, he just hoped that Snow Shadow and the others could live safely.
Qiu Qian's reason for sticking to it was not convincing at all, but because Qiu Qian had led the guild members to escape death many times, she had a high status in everyone's minds. Even if today's plan is just her personal idea, there will definitely be a considerable number of people who are willing to die with her.
But if it was Ye Heng, everyone would abandon him immediately. Although the high-level leaders of the God of War Guild have a bad reputation, they have conquered all the members with their strong strength. Although Qiu Qian's strength is not as perverted as Arthur, she has won the recognition of the members with her personality charm.
Obviously, Ye Heng doesn't have either at the moment.
"Why do you think I'm going to die?" After speaking, Qiu Qian was immediately questioned by Snow Shadow, and resolutely decided not to go to the front line to fight in person.
"I think I was only a small planetary level at the beginning, and I can all settle down when I face the siege of thousands of evolutionaries and lone wolf legions alone! Now that I am a planetary level, plus Snow Shadow, how can your strength be enough for us to kill?"
When Qiu Qian said this, there seemed to be no way to refute it.
"Then why are you talking about what will happen after you die!"
"You can't even hear the words of morale, and when you see the generals go into battle in person, your subordinates will have more wit, you fool. ”
In this way, the simple snow shadow really believed Qiu Qian's words, and Sun Tao, who was on the side, was glanced at by Qiu Qian, so he didn't speak. He could probably guess that the reason why Qiu Qian changed his mind might be because of Ye Heng, and at the same time, he could see that Qiu Qian didn't want to come back alive when he fought this time.
"But Qiu Qian, there are so many monsters, if you don't let Miss Ben open the death contract, I'm afraid Miss Ben can only deal with half at most, ten ...... Four...... A tenth, right? hey, hey, hey!"
Snow Shadow was just reckless at first, because she knew that so many monsters must be retreating, so she was addicted, but who knew that Qiu Qian really wanted to fight them, and she was immediately instigated.
"It's not for you to go alone, and I'm going to do it. ”
"Qiu Qian, don't make trouble, you've never been a combat member. ”
"That's just Miss Ben's hidden strength all along! I'll let you see how powerful Miss Ben is in a while. Qiu Qian saw that Xue Ying doubted her ability, so she imitated other tones and said.
Although everyone didn't want Qiu Qian to be sent to death, Qiu Qian's position was higher than everyone else, no matter how good the relationship between everyone was in private, they would not dare to disobey orders at such a time as disobeying orders and disturbing the morale of the army. What's more, although Qiu Qian likes to make some risky moves, she is definitely not a reckless person, although her decision is incomprehensible, but it must have been rationally analyzed behind it.
As for Qiu Qian's real strength, everyone really hasn't seen it yet.
Before becoming an Evolver, Qiu Qian had been in a logistics role. After becoming an evolutionary, although Qiu Qian also has good physical fitness, she still rarely fights with people, and at most uses her ability to control the enemy.
In the Battle of Doom, Qiu Qian also assisted others in fighting by interfering with monsters. The Evolvers suffered a crushing defeat in that war, and were forced to abandon Area B and the cities around the Nativity Tower, retreating to areas farther away from the Birth Tower to establish fortifications.
When building the fortress, Qiu Qian used the ability of Khaki to build the original Ghost Legion base into a huge metal fortress. In the subsequent battles against the monsters, Qiu Qian's job was only to direct the battle in the rear.
Now Qiu Qian said that she wanted to go to the front line alone to confront the monsters, and everyone thought it was very incredible.
"What, it's already strange to hold the fortress, and now you say that you want to fight in person, grandson, are you kidding us?"
Sure enough, when the fat man who deployed the defense facilities on the outer wall of the fortress heard this order, he almost thought that Sun Tao was teasing them.
"Fatty, Qiu Qian changed her mind after going to meet the president, do you think it will be the president's idea. ”
"Don't be stupid!"
Rams, who was on the sidelines, seemed to think of the reason, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that these words should not be said, and the soldiers around him, several of whom had pointed ears, focused their attention. Seeing this, the fat man immediately gave him a round game.
"The president is just a prophet, all the tactical arrangements are made by Qiu Qian, the president asked Qiu Qian to go over and maybe just tell him some foreseen situations, as for whether to withdraw or defend, it all depends on Qiu Qian's own will. ”
Fortunately, the fat man reacted cleverly and dispelled the doubts of those soldiers. Although they don't know the specific reason, the fat people all know that Qiu Qian's decision must have been influenced by Ye Heng. It's just that this kind of thing should never be told to other members of the guild.
"Why are you guys in a daze there? Hurry up and put the energy storage crystal on the west wall, I feel the ground tremble. ”
"Yes sir, we'll do it right away!"
The main body of the fortress is a massive pyramid shell made entirely of metal, which protects the buildings within, with the fortified Spectre Legion headquarters building at its center. The fortress covers an area of 4 million square meters, with a spire height of more than 500 meters, and a metal wall about 50 meters high on the perimeter that separates the fortress from the surrounding desert.
It's just that such a magnificent-looking building, among all the fortresses, can only be classified as small fortresses. This monster attack was not worth mentioning if it was placed in front of a large fortress that could accommodate millions of people.
Soon, the defense setup was set up. Almost all of the Charged Crystals in the fortress were taken out and inlaid into the walls and pyramid shells. All weapons have been activated, and the shaking of the ground has become more and more noticeable.
20,000 Evolvers are deployed near the wall and ready for battle. There were men, women, and children among them, but all of them were evolutionaries of level 5 or higher. The strongest has reached level 11, and that is Rams and Fatty.
Such an army of evolutionaries, if placed before the Doomsday War, is enough to make the God of War Guild feel afraid, but in front of the boundless army of monsters in front of it, it seems so small.
