Chapter 338: Searching for the Source Against the Current
"When are we leaving?" Ryan asked.
"It's up to you. Wu Dongfang extinguished the cigarette butt.
Ryan didn't answer immediately, Wu Dongfang didn't say whether he wanted to take over the command before, and this sentence officially showed his attitude, he was not ready to be the commander-in-chief.
Ryan took the kettle from the handmaiden's hand and poured water for everyone one by one, "I need to tell the oracle about our next plan, and I also need to go to the southern front to inform the other comrades of our decision, this matter is also related to the deployment of troops and the reconstruction of the city, it will take time to deal with these things, I estimate that it will take seven days at the earliest, and after seven days, we will leave for Nuris Mountain." ”
Wu Dongfang nodded and did not speak.
"Doing so will delay the fighter. Xunshuang looked at Wu Dongfang suspiciously, the enemy lost all the front-line troops overnight, and he may not have received the battle report at this time, taking a step back and saying that even if he got the battle report in time, he should be hastily adjusting his strategy and changing the deployment at this time, this time is undoubtedly the best opportunity to attack, she is familiar with Wu Dongfang, and knows his ability to analyze the enemy situation and command the battle, he should not understand this truth.
Ryan was puzzled and solved, looking for frost to look away, and said his thoughts, Ryan suddenly realized, Leng Du and Harley agreed, and after eager discussion, it was decided that Leng Du would go to the capital, Harley would rush to the southern front, and the rest of the people set off overnight to find and snipe the enemy in Newsley Mountain.
Ryan sent Leng Du and Harley out, and Xunshuang sat next to Wu Dongfang, "What's wrong, why are you absent-minded?"
Wu Dongfang turned his head to look at Xunshuang, "The Scorpio Star God Fighter didn't go out to investigate the enemy and was killed, she gave her life to help me find tobacco. ”
"This thing is fiery, and when the fire enters the body, it will hurt the metal lungs, and you will not understand the principle of the five elements. Xunshuang pointed to the cigarette butts that Wu Dongfang threw away, she had seen Wu Dongfang smoke when the prince was killed, so she was not surprised that he smoked tobacco, but she didn't understand why Wu Dongfang liked this kind of thing.
"Bad habits that I developed before. Wu Dongfang picked up the water glass.
"Don't touch it again in the future, this thing will damage the cultivation and interfere with righteousness. Frost Hunt said.
"It's not much, I won't smoke it anymore. Wu Dongfang took a sip of water, and the wooden box where the cigarettes were stored was very small, and there were only about 20 cigarettes in one.
Xunshuang nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "This place should not stay for a long time, when it is a quick battle, leave early." ”
Wu Dongfang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xunshuang, the reason why Xunshuang made such a decision was undoubtedly to perceive that his mood had fluctuated, and his current mood was indeed not suitable for leading the army to fight.
"I want to transfer Xin Tong and Fei Xuan back. Xunshuang said.
"Why?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"In order to be fast, when the troops are united, they will be broken in one fell swoop, let those two stay on the southern line, come back in exchange for Xin Tong and Fei Xuan, and go north with us. Xunshuang stood up, "I'm going to chase after them and inform them of our decision." ”
"It's not proper," Wu Dongfang also stood up, "If we encounter an accident, where will the reinforcements come?"
Xunshuang didn't insist on her opinion, nodded and sat down, she was a little worried before, but at present, although Wu Dongfang's mood fluctuated, it was not chaotic.
After a while, Ryan returned, and the three of them packed up and set off for the west, arriving at the city where Ryan and the others had been stationed before in the middle of the night.
At this time, Injera and Buck had just returned, and today in addition to clearing the remnants of the orcs, their main task was to clean up the battlefield, because they knew that the alien Inner Dan was useful to the four people, so they dissected it and collected two baskets, but they were not like Mosa who had been to Middle-earth before, they did not know the situation of Middle-earth, except for the purple Inner Dan and the yellow Inner Dan, other low-level Inner Dan They also took time and effort to collect them.
After the meeting, Ryan informed Buck and Injla of their previous decision, and the two agreed, and after a brief rest, the group of five left the city and took off north.
Mount Nuris is a north-south mountain range, the mountain is very steep, the ancient Greek orc legion was from a certain area in the north to the territory of Babylon, following the route of the orc legion, at dawn, the five found the valley that the orcs crossed the border through.
It is a narrow valley between two peaks, no more than a hundred feet wide, and the peaks on both sides are rocky, which is very suitable for defense.
"Ambush from here?" Buck looked at Ryan.
Ryan looked at Wu Dongfang, Wu Dongfang shook his head, "The Undead Legion can fly, they may not necessarily take this route." ”
All four of them nodded, this is a gate, but the opponent can fly, and people may not go through the door.
Wu Dongfang tilted his head and looked west, the west of Newris Mountain is the endless Gobi, the Gobi is a desert but is about to become a desert, there is not much sand, the traces of the orc legion's march on the day are clearly visible.
"Take a break here. Wu Dongfang said, traveling thousands of miles at night, the energy contained in the armor of the Star God Fighter has been depleted.
Frost Seeker brought an extra Qiankun bag, and before leaving gave one to Injra, who used it to store dry food and water, but she had to remove the armor from her hands if she wanted to take or store things from the Qiankun bag.
When Injla took out the food and distributed it to Ryan and Buck, Wu Dongfang stood on the top of the mountain and looked west, Xunshuang took out the water altar and handed it to him, "They are not familiar with the situation here. ”
Wu Dongfang took the water altar and nodded, Xunshuang understands his character, as long as he understands a person's character, he can roughly judge what kind of things this person will do, he does want to fight across the border, Xunshuang also guessed that he would do this, so he reminded him that Ryan and the others were not familiar with the situation here.
"What do you think?" Wu Dongfang raised his head and drank water.
"Staying here is not the way to go, and it is very risky to search for sources against the current. Xunshuang said.
Wu Dongfang took a few sips of water and returned the water altar to Xunshuang, "The Babylonians are relatively conservative and not warlike, and their god has a problem, and they can't replenish their divine power for the Star God Fighter from a distance. I suspect that the Divine Envoy and their god lost their sense that it was the enemy who made the ghost, and even if it was not the enemy's ghost, the enemy must know this, so in the eyes of the enemy, the Star God Fighter did not have the ability to run long distances. ”
Xunshuang took the water altar and did not answer, Wu Dongfang's words were obviously not finished.
Wu Dongfang said again, "It has been a time since I started to attack those orcs, and according to common sense, the enemy is likely to have gotten the news, but they may not have gotten the news yet, because the twelve demigod aliens were all killed by me, and there are only four ordinary aliens left in the city, even if there are fish that slip through the net, they can't pass the news back in a short time." ”
"None of the aliens in the Heavenly Master's cultivation have slipped through the net. Xunshuang said that they had noticed that the enemy city was in disarray early in the morning, and that they had already launched an attack on the enemy army before they received the news from the flying pigeon.
"Hmm. Wu Dongfang nodded, "If the news doesn't come back, the enemy may also notice the abnormality and send people to investigate, but even if they know that the forward soldiers and horses have been attacked, they don't know that we did it." ”
Xunshuang looked back at Ryan and the others, "Do you know how many miles the desert in the west is?"
"We've never set foot there. Ryan shook his head.
Xunshuang looked back at Wu Dongfang, "We have Qiankun bags, there is no problem with food and drinking water, the desert will not hinder us, even if we can't find them, we won't starve to death from thirst." ”
Wu Dongfang nodded again, the Qiankun bag is really a good thing, you can carry a lot of food and water with you, so you don't have to worry about food and water when you enter the desert.
"This kind of terrain is not good for me, so I can summon Xin Tong. Xunshuang said.
Wu Dongfang didn't say anything right away, Xin Tong is now in the south, even if he rushes here immediately, he will have to come at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. And if he entered the desert alone with three Star God Fighters, he was worried about the lack of troops, until now he didn't know what the undead army of ancient Greece was, and he couldn't assess the strength of the two sides without knowing the details of the other party.
The key is that in addition to the undead legion, the other party also has the Fallen Divine Envoy and the Dark Star Fighter, the Fallen Divine Envoy can transmit divine power to the Dark Star Fighter, and there is enough divine power supply, and the combat power of the Dark Star Fighter is very terrifying.
"It's too early to do it, and in the evening, it's even more unfavorable for us. Xunshuang said.
Wu Dongfang still did not answer, the battle situation was constantly changing, although he knew that there was a desert on the northwest front of Babylon, but he did not consider the problem of cross-border combat, so he assigned Xunshuang, who had the strongest combat effectiveness. However, Frost Seeker is an Aqua Holy Witch, and where there is no water, Aqua spells will be severely limited.
This kind of hot desert area is suitable for Xin Tong's method, but Xin Tong is now on the southern front, and it is already afternoon when he rushes over, if everyone sets off in the afternoon, even if they find the enemy's base camp, it will be night, and the combat effectiveness of the Star God Fighter at night will be greatly weakened.
"Missed a chance. Wu Dongfang frowned, he returned to Gema City early yesterday morning, although he was very tired at that time, he didn't have to sleep, he could help the Star God Fighter deal with the aftermath, and then discuss countermeasures, not only can he transfer Xin Tong in time, but he can also advance the time to rush here by three or four hours, but now it is useless to regret it, the best time has been missed, and the reason for missing the best time is that Shirley's death makes him very sad, the fact is that during the war, people have no time to grieve at all.
"The Aquarius Warriors should still be south now. Xunshuang said.
Wu Dongfang nodded, Xunshuang meant that Xin Tong would be transferred over at this time, and Hardy could just take her place and defend the city with the other three Star God Fighters. If it is delayed any longer, by the time Hardy leaves, there will be a vacancy on the southern front.
After a short period of silence, Wu Dongfang took out a fire positioning spirit bead from his arms, twisted his fingers and crushed it.
"Let's go immediately, you stay here and wait for Xin Tong, if we find the enemy's camp, we will call Xin Tong over to help, you don't want to go over, stay here as our backup." Wu Dongfang said to Xunshuang.
Frost nodded in agreement.
Wu Dongfang took out the food from the Qiankun bag, ate some simply, and then crossed the Nuris Mountain with Ryan and the others into the endless Gobi Desert......
