Chapter 247 Command Power
There is absolutely no way to refute...
In front of Xia Lian's rarely wise eyes, Mo Tan and Yu Chen remained silent.
At this moment, there is no room for lies and sophistry. Even if the Holy Lady in front of her has not seen through everything, her words just now are enough to render the two players speechless. , now that Xia Lian has openly expressed her doubts, it can only mean that she has noticed enough problems and anomalies, and they are too many to hide.
Even if the person standing here is Mo Tan who is under the "chaotic neutral" personality, he will only come to the same conclusion.
Not to mention Yuchen, the little girl is now completely trapped.
[But this is not a terrible news, not to mention that Miss Pakosi, who believes in the Dawn Sect, already knows that we are not aborigines, even Xia Lian, who has noticed some abnormalities, has not We can feel any hostility towards us... She is still friendly, but even so, at this juncture, the player It is definitely not a wise move to reveal all the concepts, but if you just reveal a little bit...]
Mo Tan took a deep breath. He first sent a friend message to Yu Chen to ask this person to Gu Liang, who was a little distracted, kept quiet, then raised his head to look at Xia Lian, who was smiling but not smiling. On the surface, he was calm, but he was panicked in his heart.
Of course he is nervous, but he cannot help but be nervous, just like most of us. Although many times he has already thought about how to say or do something of great impact, and has already prepared it. Although I have a rough draft, it is inevitable that my heart will beat faster and I may sweat a little before the actual implementation. This is normal.
Even though he knew very well that there was no risk between him and Yu Chen, he also understood that Xia Lian (probably) was not the kind of unreasonable person, and he also knew that if it didn't work out, she could still let Yu Chen communicate. The goddess of dawn, Pakosi, excused the two of them, but this does not conflict with his current position...
Just like bungee jumping, visiting a haunted house, riding a roller coaster, or walking on a high-rise glass plank road. Although we know rationally that these things are safe, their accident rates are only a few tenths of a percent. (Okay, even horror movies can occasionally scare people to death), but this does not prevent many people from panicking~
At this moment, Mo Tan is no better than Mo Tan in terms of temperament, personality and psychological quality. Ordinary people are so special. Maybe as 'Mo', he can play bungee jumping with peace of mind. Maybe as 'Tan Mo', he will cause some extremely bad physical and mental experiences to officials and other tourists when visiting the haunted house. , maybe as 'Mo', he will blow up the roller coaster...well, this probably won't happen, but now this 'Black Van', who has most of the human weaknesses, can obviously fully enjoy the fun of the above-mentioned projects, so we can From this we can conclude...
Mo Tan is now panicking normally, reliably, rationally, and righteously!
Anyway, back to the topic...
"You can relax a little." Xia Lian seemed to read Mo Tan's emotions, and she showed a carefree smile that could ease the atmosphere. , said slowly: "If it's really hard to talk about it, you don't have to say it for now, but you must at least tell me how the results of this period came about, and whether there is any way to replicate it."
Mo Tan sighed: "Okay, I think I can explain..."
Xia Lian nodded with satisfaction. She lowered her fingers that had been twirling her hair and cast a searching look: " Huh?”
“Yu Chen and I… ..." Mo Tan paused, rubbed his forehead, and whispered: "There are other people who are different from most people."
Xia Lian blinked: "For example, that one. Yuying’s girl?”
“Uh, yes, That's right." Mo Tan was curious about when Xia Lian found out, but he didn't ask immediately. He just continued: "Yu Ying is the same, and there are some people. For some reasons, people like us are in each other's arms. After the relationship becomes more familiar, some messages can be conveyed over long distances. You can understand them as magic letters with the power of space, but there are no restrictions or delays. During this time, we relied on this ability to do it. Timely communication, well, that’s probably it.”
Xia Lian didn't show any too much surprise. She just asked Mo Tan with interest after combining what she heard on the road: "So, those low-level professionals you arranged in the rescue team are all Are...well, are they all the same people as you?"
"No." Mo Tan shook his head and shrugged: "Every team usually has people who can communicate with us instantly. There won’t be more than three. The others are all normal.”
Xia Lian nodded slightly: “Okay, I probably understand. Take the team we met today as an example. The female elf warrior, the half-orc shaman named Tirion Windfury, the dwarf priest named Shi Lezhi, and the little ranger girl named Robin Weld are all the same people as you, which means that it has nothing to do with race or age? Ah..."
"Yes." Mo Tan nodded and spread his hands: "It has nothing to do with that, but I haven't figured out how to explain it to you yet."
Xia Lian chuckled: "It doesn't matter, I was just a little curious about how that elf girl who must be at least 300 years old got together with an orc who looked younger than fifty years old. Now I finally understand it a little bit. ”
Mo Tanqian laughed and did not take it.
"Then what?" Xia Lian smiled and then continued to ask: "How did you get the situation to this point?"
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment: "I'm not Have you finished speaking? ”
"Huh?"
This time it was Xia Lian's turn to be in a daze. She tugged at the tip of her ear and looked at Mo Tan with vacant eyes: "You just told me about communication. It’s something…”
Mo Tan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes."
"Then it was gone?"
"It was gone."
"Where are the other moths? ”
“There are so many moths there...”
Looking at Mo Tan's honest expression, Xia Lian smacked her lips. After a while, she pointed at the map beside her and the chess pieces on it and asked, "So, on the premise of ensuring that you can contact each team at any time, , just in this room, he bulldozed the surrounding mutants, not only did he not suffer any casualties, but he also rescued them? He killed most of the survivors that could be found around him?”
“Mo Tan didn’t have any sex~” Only then did Yu Chen dare to speak, and she smiled timidly at Xia Lian: "The other saint sisters are right."
Xia Lian pursed her lips and nodded, her face became much more solemn than before, she turned sideways He lowered his head and looked at the map with a large number of markings and dense scribbles on it. After studying it carefully for a long time, he raised his head and whispered to Mo Tan: "It seems that I have to improve my evaluation of you again." ..."
"Improve your evaluation?" Mo Tan gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "As long as you don't think that we people have human hearts. Just have ulterior motives." Xia Lian smiled: "I never thought you had ulterior motives, whether it was Wang Yu or you, or Yu Ying, who almost died at the hands of mutants to protect civilians. Well, I have never doubted those who are willing to cooperate with the knights in taking risks.”
Yuchen blinked his eyes, leaned close to Xia Lian and asked in a low voice: "Sister Saint, haven't you noticed that there is something wrong with me a long time ago? Why don't you think I am a bad person? I have been hiding it all this time..."< br>
“You?” Xia Lian took Yuchen into her arms, and then rubbed her face hard: “You are the cleanest, purest, and most careless fool I have ever seen. Girl, what's more, you are the Goddess's favored one. This has nothing to do with how special you are. Everyone has their own little secret. The previous His Majesty the Pope also gave laxatives to his love rivals when he was young. Many of them The matter is not worth delving into."
Yu Chen struggled to break free from the other party's arms. Although she felt that Xia Lian's example was not quite right, she still laughed easily: "Thank you, Sister Saint. ~"
"Well, what about me?" Mo Tan also relaxed and asked Xia Lian with a smile, "Am I also quite clean and pure?"
After The reporter rolled his eyes and said, "I don't think so."
"Uh, then why are you..."
"Aren't you an old friend who forgets his words?"
"..."
"Okay, no more joking, Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether you two are old friends or not." Xia Lian waved her hands, and then said sternly to Mo Tan: "Ignore the things you are not comfortable talking about, I have a very serious matter to talk to you about now. "
The latter nodded: "Ang."
"Ang, you are a ghost." Xia Lian covered her face and sighed, looking into Mo Tan's eyes through her fingers: "What do you think the future direction of Misha County will be at the current pace?" < br>
Mo Tan frowned slightly, he He did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and pondered this question that he had been thinking about for a long time. After a while, he asked: "I remember that you and Yuchen asked for support from the Sanctuary when they first came into contact with the plague. How long will it take for them to arrive? ? What kind of support?"
Xia Lian thought for a moment, then spread her hands and said: "About half a month, it is a support team composed of high-level priests and a dozen chief priests. Their combat capabilities are limited, but they are more professional in treatment. Don’t sigh in haste, there is nothing you can do about it. When we asked for support, no mutants had appeared yet..."
"Okay, our only support won't be until half a month later. It can't be reached until then, and it's difficult to use it in the battle against mutants." Mo Tan rubbed his forehead with a wry smile, and then began to knock on the table one after another, and was silent for about half a minute before finally stopping. Looking at Xia Lian again without any expectations: "Does the Sanctuary know about the mutants? Have they made some...well, arrangements that are welcome to hear."
This time it was Xia Lian's turn to sigh, and she shook her head helplessly: " No arrangements, even though I had before leaving Someone was sent to pass the information back through the nearest magician's guild. However, during this period, the Holy Land was also facing some difficulties. On the one hand, there was the Holy Mountain Sumir in the north, where a large number of traces of cultists were found. They caused great damage. A prophet even died in Sumir. Now the City of Light is organizing manpower to rush there, and the situation over Dullhead Cliff is not optimistic either. We have to send people to keep an eye on it at all times. Yes, so here in Misha County..."
"I understand." Mo Tan did not let Xia Lian continue. He glanced at the map on the table and asked simply: "Can you tell me about the situation in the south now?"
...
Ten minutes later
"Okay, okay~" Mo Tan leaned back weakly on the back of the chair and said to Xia Lian in an almost cryptic tone: " You just asked me what the future direction of Misha County will be if this continues, right? Well, personally, the best result should be that the northern and central areas can be preserved, and the area south of Sprout City If they all fall, the number of civilian casualties in this process will be a very bad number. Optimistic estimates suggest that more than three large cities will fall, and that's about it."
Yu Chen took a breath. Angry, he asked in a low voice: "Mo Tan, do you think this is... the best result...?"
"That's right." The latter threw the quill aside casually, lay facelessly on the table, and replied dully: "There are too many mutants in the south, and the number of civilians infected with the plague is also increasing sharply. Even if Excluding those who were killed immediately after transformation, the number of monsters growing every day is scary enough. If not for the continuous efforts of Her Highness Xia Lian and the four hundred holy knights some time ago, the situation might have been infinitely worse. times, so my suggestion is...Urge the Sanctuary to send some high-end combat power. If it doesn't work, seize the time to save as many people as you can, and then slowly fight a war of attrition."
< br>Xia Lian, who was sitting in front of him, smiled: "I thought so too before."
"Before?" Yu Chen tilted his head and asked curiously: "What about now?"
"Now I have changed my mind." Xia Lian casually grabbed a handful of chess pieces on the table, then pushed them all in front of Mo Tan, and asked him in a deep voice: "If I put all the Paladins If I give you the command and unconditionally support all your plans, and are willing to give yourself to your command, how far can you go?"
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be an old man. Pointing to himself slowly like a sloth: "Me?"
"That's right, you." Xia Lian nodded solemnly: "Whether it's recruiting low-level professionals, civilians, or even infected people who don't get priority treatment on a large scale, or driving the Paladins or myself to do it. Nothing is a problem, your plan will not be questioned in any way, any of your plans and tactics will be implemented immediately, all your ideas All will be cooperated unconditionally. Under this premise, how far can it be achieved? "
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the head of this 'shadow commander' who has made many small moves recently...
Five seconds later, Mo Tan reacted and subconsciously wanted to refuse. He felt that he would never be able to hold the pressure!
Then he saw a friend message flashing in front of him...
'You can do it! Mo Tan, you are so awesome! (ω)’
...
Five minutes later
"Before tomorrow night, all low-level professionals and civilian volunteers in Hofer City and Mida City must be assembled. Within two days, Our current group of 'combined urban and rural troops' will arrive at the Gudami Plain south of Xinya City no matter what. How many monsters can be dispersed before they gather..."
