Chapter 105: Divergence
Cynthia's words are not unreasonable. Although everyone seemed to be in high spirits when they set off, they also calmed down a lot while moving forward in the past few days, and many people have already noticed that they joined this team just on the spur of the moment, and their small strength is not to say that it hurts the Demon Eye, I'm afraid that even these werewolves will be difficult for them to deal with. Especially for some elderly people and underage children, they will not only not be helpful in this team, but will become a burden......
After all, they are not well-trained fighters, just ordinary civilians...... To put it mildly, on the battlefield, they are a rabble.
But now it's too late to regret it, they have come to the precipice of life, and there is no way back.
"yes...... If they are allowed to escape alone in this environment, they will probably be torn to pieces by the werewolves lurking in other places......" Alan whispered, "Only by facing the battle can we retain the hope of survival." ”
"No way, none of us have the experience to lead so many people at the same time...... And there is no reason to reject their desire to participate in the struggle themselves. Cynthia smiled wryly and said, "Thankfully, they're not useless...... At the very least, it can cover up our next move. ”
"What are you going to do?" asked Allen. Along the way, they discussed various combat plans and possible scenarios, but in the end, the situation was too complicated to come to a conclusion.
Cynthia didn't answer, but pointed ahead and said, "Look over there." ”
Alan turned around and found that the dust had been lifted by the lightning striking the ground had cleared, and many black shadows had come out of the black gate.
"I don't know how fast their numbers are growing, but if we don't destroy the werewolves, they'll just keep appearing. "This is also the most fundamental way to reduce the team's losses." ”
"Hmm......" Alan nodded, he also clearly realized that these werewolves were pawns used by Burestus to drain their strength, and if this obstacle was not removed, Burestu probably would not show up.
It's just that he hesitated a little: "But that place is next to the palace of Brestu, we may be found if we sneak in......"
"It's not possible, it's certain. Therefore, we must act quickly this time, and solve the problem before he intervenes. Cynthia said, "As long as we don't enter that palace, he can't do anything to us." ”
"How?" asked Allen, "how?"
"Haven't we been there once, and you have the sword Ashley Hill gave you?" Cynthia said, "The holes lead underground, and they seem to be safe and hidden, but they can be their ...... destruction."
As she spoke, Cynthia released a little magma from the tip of her wand, which instantly burned a hole in the ground: "The damage caused by this kind of thing can't be offset by its resistance to magic alone...... At the end of the day, they're still flesh and blood. ”
"Ah......" Alan then reacted, Cynthia wanted him to use the "Declaration of Victory" to open a door to time and space, and take them to the enemy's hinterland.
"Then I'll seal the hole with this. Frey said as he released a bit of mud from the tip of his wand. It's just that unlike the mud, these gray-white things solidify the moment they hit the ground, and they are harder than rock.
"I think you may be missing a bodyguard. Then Kelly came up and said, "Shouldn't a magician try to avoid close contact with his enemies? ”
"If you're willing to join us, that's great. Cynthia laughed, "Just keep your calm and don't be in the same situation as last time...... That's kind of scary. ”
"I'm sorry. Kelly laughed when he heard this, "I was too engrossed in it last time, actually, as long as I don't stare at those black things for a long time, I can still have complete control over myself." ”
"What about me, what about me?" Rare couldn't help himself anymore when he heard this, pointing to his nose and asking one after another, "What am I responsible for?"
"You?" Cynthia's eyes rolled for a moment, revealing an embarrassed but polite smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Connor...... I forgot to include you in my battle plan. ”
"Uh......" Riel was suddenly a little speechless, and he muttered for a moment before pouting, "How can this be done...... I don't care, I'm going to ...... Where is Alan, where am I going......"
"Then be prepared to evacuate us at any time. Frey said, "While the Gates of Heaven are more reliable in comparison, they are not as responsive as the Starlight...... And one more person on guard means more protection. ”
"That's right!" Riel breathed a sigh of relief, unconvinced.
The battle plan has been roughly clarified, and although it is a bit risky, it is also comprehensive, and it can be regarded as the best plan at the moment.
However, compared to the few of them discussing together with great interest, Alan kept his head down and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's not like you're so slow......" Cynthia stared at him meaningfully, "Do you have anything else in mind?"
"Uh...... Hmm......" Alan opened his mouth and stopped talking, "I ...... I'm just wondering who is going to be in charge of the frontal battlefield if we all go ahead and carry out this plan. ”
As he spoke, he tapped Mr. Labredo, who was organizing the people to put up a stubborn resistance: "I may be a little disrespectful to Mr. Labredo when I say that, but I don't think he is capable enough to keep people alive. ”
"This is war...... Bloodshed is inevitable, Alan. "And we're doing it to keep them from shedding more blood." It's time for them to take responsibility. ”
"I'm just worried that by the time we come out, it's going to be the worst...... "and if we're all dead, how much point is left in our actions......
Frey was silent when he heard this.
"Uh...... So I wondered, is there any other way...... If we can lure Burrestu out directly, and then we'll ......come face to face with him," Alan whispered, "As long as we can lure him out of that palace, we'll have a good chance of winning......"
However, Cynthia suddenly interrupted him after hearing these words: "This is not what you really think. ”
Alan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't dare to look directly at Cynthia.
"Normally, you will only follow strict logic step by step to deduce which path to take, which plan has the highest success rate, instead of letting your inner thoughts guide you to which path you want to take......" Cynthia stared at him and said sharply, "Actually, you are just worried that we have alarmed Brestous, and then he threatens you with Alyssa...... Fear for her life, right?"
Alan didn't shake his head or nod, he just took a deep breath and didn't speak...... But Cynthia knew just by looking at his reaction that she guessed it.
"Alas, you......" Seeing his reaction, Cynthia groaned slightly, smiled wryly and sighed, "Sometimes it's really a headache...... You ...... thing."
