Chapter 359 Leave it to me
The rest... give up...
As soon as he finished speaking, Taylor suddenly stood up and looked at Mo Tan with disbelief: "You... Black Pastor Fan, do you know what you just said?"
Although the others' reactions were not so big, they still looked at Mo Tan in surprise. There was a hint of horror in the eyes of Fuhrman and Yu Ying. .
“I know exactly what I am saying, and I may as well repeat it.”
Mo Tan met Taylor's eyes expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Another way is to keep the original plan unchanged and let the uninfected people in Shawa and Abby go through the blockade to the Principality of Skarlan. Take refuge, and the rest... give up."
"Absurd!"
The upright Paladin gritted his teeth, his brown eyes flashing with anger: "You know those two. How many people are there in the city..."
"I don't know." Mo Tan interrupted him calmly, and then added: "But there are at least tens of thousands of people, um, and they are excluding those who have not been killed. After the number of people infected, I think it is about this number."
Taylor stared at him with eyes wide open: "Then you actually come up with such a ridiculous 'method' to make tens of thousands of people die. Die like this? Let the tragedy in Fair City happen again?"
Mo Tan's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he wanted to look away, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth half a second later, and he said leisurely: "This is not a repeat. You must know that there are many uninfected people in Fair City. People exist, but they are all dead, but the method I just used can ensure the survival of healthy people in the two cities of Shawa and Ebina. There is an essential difference between the two."
"Goddess! How dare you be so..."
"Mr. Taylor!"
Yu Chen, who had been silent behind Xia Lian since just now, suddenly took a step forward, gently but firmly. He interrupted the furious Paladin: "I think you should at least listen to Mo... After Hei Fan said his reasons, you should also know how many innocent lives he has saved during this period, so please don't be impulsive."
The square-faced man with wide eyes opened his mouth, and finally slowly lowered his shoulders. With a pale face, he bowed slightly to the girl in front of him: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I was impulsive..." ”
"I understand how you feel."
Yu Chen smiled weakly, then tilted his head slightly towards another person with a very complicated expression: "I hope you can understand him."
< br>Taylor nodded stiffly, then took a deep breath, lowered his head and said in a deep voice to Mo Tan: "I'm sorry, Pastor Hei Fan, I should listen to what you have to say...but I hope..."
"You don't have to hope for anything."
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Mo Tan's forehead, but his smile grew stronger. Feeling comfortable: "I just provided two options. As for the specific choice, it still depends on everyone's wishes."
Taylor nodded silently and sat back down.
"You should be grateful to Wangyu."
Xia Lian tilted her head and glanced at him, weighed the cross in her hand, and showed a somewhat reluctant smile: "Otherwise, what happens next You'll have to lie down for ten minutes, of course..."< br>
She looked back at Mo Tan: "I hope you can explain the rather unacceptable proposal just now and tell us the reasons and difficulties."
"Reason ? Difficulties? ”
Mo Tan, who was already wet with sweat behind his priest's robe, shook his head briskly and said calmly: "No, this is just a simple arithmetic problem. Of course, I can explain it to you in relatively concise language, and then you can Let’s start brainstorming or collision of ideas~”
Priest Furman reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth: “Then...please do it as soon as possible, Pastor Heifan”
expression. The increasingly pale Mo Tan smiled, put the chess pieces on the table on the ground one by one, then lifted the entire table so that the map of Misha County faced the five people in front of him, and finally picked up a quill to draw in the southern area. He drew a huge red circle and said softly: "First of all, after taking down the Hind Hill, our next target is undoubtedly the southern border, and that is the place with the most Zombies in the entire Misha County, and the density of mutants It’s several times more than the northern and central areas combined. Everyone should be aware of this, right?”
Although three people didn’t understand what Zombie meant, everyone nodded silently.
“Very good.”
Mo Tan nodded and smiled: "Then let's talk about the last method now..."
When he said this, he paused for about a second and a half.
Sure enough, Yu Ying, who was frowning, leaned forward and asked before Mo Tan spoke again: "Wait a minute, don't you want to explain the method you just mentioned?"
"Just right. "
Mo Tan wiped his forehead casually and shrugged: "But you will know the answer in a moment. Please listen to me patiently now. First of all. , in the previous method, we need to overturn the previous steady and steady strategy and forcefully gain a foothold in Panshu City. In this process, we need to face at least four to seven times as many mutants as in the battle of Hindqiu. You don't have to I doubt this number. Cordoba personally killed it there, so I have included all the possible errors.”
The number of mutants was four to seven times that of the battle at Hind Hill...
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their expressions gradually changed from solemn to liver-ache.
“As for our side, we can probably get a batch of support from the north in the past two days, but civilians without combat effectiveness must account for at least half of them, and the remaining people cannot guarantee the strength. However, the blockade in the north When the line pressure drops sharply, there may be Maybe a group of mid-level professionals will come over, but this is just a hypothesis."
Mo Tan didn't pay attention to everyone's expressions, and just continued to analyze calmly: "Then, when passing through White Tower City. , if we are lucky enough we should I should be able to expand my combat power. Although it is only a short stay, I will still give Wangyu enough time to drive away the evil epidemic for the ordinary people, win the trust of the locals, and then do what I did in Xinya and Glen before. like that, let those with lofty ideals join us , but as far as I know, more than 70% of those 'people with lofty ideals' have been killed in the battle. You can make up your own mind about how many more people will be able to join. "
In fact, there is no need to think about this issue at all. , because the answer must be - not much.
The combined active combat strength of the combined forces now totals about a thousand people, plus the hundreds of paladins. The remaining people are roughly composed of the cities of Hofer and Mida in the northern part of the county, as well as Sprout and Sprout in the central part of the county. The professionals in the two cities of Glen, plus the people who came out to support after the pressure on the northern blockade dropped suddenly. Although they have grown much stronger than at the beginning, they are still far from being able to match the sudden change in the southern border in terms of numbers. Everyone knows the news that came back from Cordoba, and everyone understands that this is an unshakable fact.
Mo Tan noticed that the expression of Priest Furman had slowly changed from liver pain to egg pain...
"The situation in Panshu City is generally the same, but it is said that the elves' buildings The style is more advantageous in terms of defense, so if we just station there normally, no matter what, we will not do worse than they did before, and safety can still be guaranteed."
Mo Tan is in Panshu. He drew a circle on the location of the city, and then heavily poked the two cities of Shawa and Ebi in the southwest corner, leaving two groups of ink stains as red as blood on them, and said in a deep voice: "But the problem is, we We can't stay there honestly. As I said before, if we want to rescue the people in those two cities, a steady approach will not work. Even if we can temporarily help them solve their food problem, we only have half a month at most. , As long as the matter is not resolved within this period of time, the two cities will be broken by mutants, and I don’t need to say more about the consequences, right?”
Everyone, including Taylor, remained silent. silence.
As Mo Tan said, even if the food problem of those two cities can be solved and the people inside will not starve to death, they can only persist for another half month, or even shorter time, and during this period of time The existing combat power to deal with the mutants in the Southern Territory, which is conservatively estimated to be more than 20,000, is simply a dream. Even if those monsters have no tactics, no brains, no discipline, they will only become One by one, pigeons with no need for emotion... ahem, killers, tore into pieces the joint forces that were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
"Let me explain in advance, if you choose this plan, if you don't do it with considerable consciousness, then the chance of failure is absolutely 100%. In other words, there is no need to even try." Mo Tan was particularly surprised. He solemnly pressed his hand on the area circled with red ink, which was the entire southern border of Misha County, and his tone became more cold than ever: "And if you do it with absolute faith, there is also a great possibility of failure. , and the price is that we, the only combat power in Misha County, will be wiped out. Well, maybe with the strength of His Highness Xia Lian, we can survive, and Wang Yu's life can be saved by the way, but the others basically have to die in battle. A choice has been made, so here comes the question, Mr. Taylor, are you afraid of death?"
Taylor shook his head without thinking, "It is the honor of a knight to die in battle for honor and belief."< br>
"That's good." Mo Tan, who was sweating, pursed his lips and patted his mouth, and continued to ask: "Then when you die in the battle, I die in the battle, Priest Furman dies in the battle, and all the Paladins die in the battle, All the elven wizards who were over 800 years old and the centaur knights who were eighteen or nineteen years old in the joint force died in battle. Who will protect the innocent people behind us who are already safe? The city and the people in it? Your soul?"
Taylor opened his mouth blankly, but was speechless, unable to say another word.
"How many people are there in Shawa City and Ebi City? How many people are left after excluding those healthy people who have not contracted the plague?" Mo Tan narrowed his eyes expressionlessly and pointed his finger on the map. He stroked gently on his body and whispered to Asked: "And how many people are there in Mida City, Hofer City, Sprout City, Glen City, Baita City, and Panshu City combined? I think everyone should be able to calculate this account clearly. The second thing I just said One method is to weigh the above contents. Did you understand it?"
Yu Ying laughed sadly and nodded with a pale face: "I guess I understand. To be honest, I feel like cursing now..."
Others did not speak, but their expressions answered for me. Including the somewhat pedantic and stubborn Taylor, everyone here is not a fool, so it is impossible to explain this to Mo Tan. After that, I still don’t understand this account.
Then...
"Huh, that's about it."
Mo Tan, who was half-kneeling and holding on to the low table, suddenly sat down on the ground, looking extremely tired and let out a sigh of relief. After a while, he With a wry smile, he raised his head and shrugged to everyone: "I'm done, let's share your opinions...I'm sorry, I can only do this to this extent..."
"You don't need to apologize, Pastor Hei Fan. "
Priest Furman looked at him seriously, with helplessness written on his face that seemed to have aged more than ten years in just a few minutes: "No one can do better than you. "
Taylor shook his head dejectedly: "Goddess above..."
"The goddess doesn't have time to point out this confused lamb like you now." Xia Lian, whose face was not clear, snorted lightly, then raised her voice and asked: "So, what do you think we should do?"
The expected silence...
"Okay, actually I'm in a mess now."
Xia Lian tugged her ears sadly and indignantly, then moved her eyes back to ink Tan said with a wry smile: "In that case, I'll leave it to you to judge. If it's you, I think no matter what you ask everyone to do, no matter what the final result is, no one will complain."
Mo Tan was not surprised by this. In fact, he had expected this result, so he just slumped his shoulders and asked softly: "Me? What do you think?"
"I can accept it." Priest Furman was the first to make a statement and said solemnly: "I will support your choice and will not regret it."
Yu Ying followed closely behind: "Second."
Taylor clenched his fists tightly, then nodded slowly: "I will respect you. "Hei Fan."
"Really..."
Mo Tan nodded slightly, then stood up with some difficulty holding on to the table, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was using it. With all the strength in his body, he said: "If that's the case, then we will..."
"Wait a minute."
An unexpected person interrupted him unexpectedly. It was Yu Chen who had not expressed her position just now, but because she was on Mo Tan's side most of the time. , so everyone seemed to subconsciously ignore her.
But she stood up at this moment...
"I suggest that we save the people in Shawar City and Ebi City."
Yu Chen walked up to In the center of the tent, he mustered up the courage and loudly shouted with unprecedented determination: "Change the original plan and use the first method proposed by Hei Fan to save them!"
Mo Tan was stunned at that time. He looked at Yu Chen intently, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word from his mouth: "You..."
"I hope to do this."
It was extremely rare for the girl to say decisively: "Use the first plan."
"Okay."
Xia Lian suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "I agree with Wangyu's idea."
Immediately afterwards, Taylor, Yuying, and Furman all expressed their opinions...
"I support His Highness Wangyu's opinion."
"Let's do it this way."
"I have no objection either."
Then, the matter seemed to be settled inexplicably.
Only Mo Tan still looked at Yu Chen blankly, his eyes full of confusion and doubt: "Why?"
'You have said so many cruel words and shouldered so much pressure that does not belong to you. I even force myself to become less like Mo Tan for everyone, so I shouldn’t take on more, but I can (ω)! ’
A message from a friend flashed before Mo Tan’s eyes.
“Furthermore, I believe that there are many unsaid, more perfect steps in your previous plan~”
Yuchen, who stood in front of her, blinked and smiled like a flower. : "Because you have always been the hardest working and most dedicated person among us, and the one who most wants to welcome Happy End with everyone, so... please reserve your opinion this time, trust me, trust my choice, trust my choice ”
In an instant, the fatigue caused by [Reflection] miraculously disappeared...
Mo Tan looked at the girl's pure and bright eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a way that was completely different from before. Even he A smile full of a different kind of warmth that even I couldn't understand.
"Okay, leave the rest to me."
