Chapter 421 Phase One
The numerical comparison between the combined forces and the mutants is one to ten...
At first glance, the difference of only ten times does not seem to be a big deal. , after all, an ordinary low-level warrior can kill two or three mutants. If it is a Paladin, the number will be doubled. Among them, a mid-level Paladin of the Knights of Tyro can defeat one against ten. , as for fierce men like Cordoba and Xia Lian, if they rush into the monster pile and kill at least thirty or twenty mutants, they are like machines with human heads.
Moreover, the intelligence of mutants is still approximately zero. They are creatures that act entirely on instinct. They do not have any thinking ability except for their desire for flesh and blood. In most cases, they will be [Glow Pink] ], [Death Dust] and other things to deceive and mislead, and completely turn a blind eye to various traps. He is reckless without saying anything, and is definitely an ideal target for war.
But...
"As long as 'quality' cannot have an absolute advantage, then with this level of quantitative disparity, our advantages will be infinitely compressed."
Mo Tan sighed deeply and stared at the map. The large area painted red whispered: "A low-level warrior can annihilate all enemies when facing three mutants without risking his life; when facing five mutants, he can kill Three of them have a 70% survival rate; if we fight ten mutants at the same time, we will kill two at most and the survival rate is less than 10%..."
Yu Chen stood quietly behind Mo Tan. She didn't interrupt because she knew very well that the other person was not really explaining anything now, but just clarifying his thoughts for himself.
"Whether it is Xia Lian, Cordoba, or the five high-level paladins who have just arrived here in the past two days, they do not have the power to make a final decision. Facing tens of thousands of powerful and powerful When there are monsters who are not afraid of death, one's personal power will become very small." Mo Tan raised his hand and brushed the only two chess pieces on the map, making them glow with a dark red light that was so rich that it was almost pure black, and whispered. : "Although their intelligence is limited, those mutants also have the two qualities of not being tired or fearful. How many enemies can we destroy with our strategies, and how many warriors can they drown with their madness? To be honest, I am not sure at all. None."
Yu Chen pursed his lips, then gently tugged on the corner of Mo Tan's clothes, and smiled coquettishly at the slightly confused latter: "We are not here for you. And fight.”
Mo Tan blinked: "Huh?"
"The only thing I have to see clearly is this."
The girl turned slightly sideways and looked at the bustling camp outside the tent, Wan Er said: "Whether it's Sister Xia Lian, Mr. Taylor, Priest Furman, Yu Ying, Luna, or me, all the people who have worked hard on this land so far have not I'm fighting for you, Mo Tan, do you understand?"
Mo Tan smiled bitterly and nodded without thinking: "Of course I understand this..."
"Do you really understand? ?”
Yuchen interrupted him with a rare force, wrinkled his little nose and said: "From the time when Sister Xia Lian handed over the command to you in Mida City, you felt that you had to be responsible for everyone and risk everyone's lives. Isn’t it a bit too arrogant to carry it on your shoulders, and take it for granted?”
“I...”
“You are sitting on the commander’s seat? Although he was a little reluctant and very uncomfortable with his position, he still complained and worked hard, feeling that he had the obligation to lead everyone to victory after victory."
Yu Chen looked at Mo tenderly. With Tan's eyes, he asked softly: "Did I say something wrong?"
Mo Tan subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he opened his mouth for a long time, but no word of refutation came out.
"No matter how good a doctor is, he cannot save all patients, even though a doctor's duty is to treat illnesses and save lives."
Yu Chen showed a rare serious expression and lightly bumped Mo Tan's shoulder: "And You, the commander who was forced into the fight, cannot guarantee that we will continue to win and let everyone survive this disaster safely. Although this example may be a little inaccurate, I think the truth should be similar... ..."
Looking at the cute look of the other party tapping his lips with some hesitation, Mo Tan's tense shoulders gradually slumped. He smiled bitterly and scratched the tip of his nose: "So, what do you want to tell me? ?”
“Everyone came here voluntarily, no one was forced, and they knew what they were about to face.” Yu Chen spread his little hands and said seriously: “You already knew the risks yesterday. I have told everyone, so since you are willing to stay, it means that everyone here has made a decision. It is the same for us players, NPCs such as Miss Luna and Mr. Taylor, and your kind The idea of carrying everyone's life seems too arrogant..."
At the end, the girl who never had confidence finally lowered her head and hesitantly turned the affirmative sentence into a question.
But Mo Tan has already understood what she meant...
"To put it simply, everyone here does not need anyone to shoulder their own lives, because they have already made sense of it, right? "
Mo Tan sat back on the chair. The previous depressed and dignified aura had faded a lot. He chuckled and said: "You are right. I seem to be too arrogant. Why? The idea that all lives are responsible ...If you think about it carefully, it's really a bit shameful."
Yu Chen waved his hands in panic: "I...I actually didn't mean to say that you are not good, um, Mo Tan, you have been doing this for a while. I see everything I do, but I just want you to relax a little bit. I always feel that you are a little too nervous... Well, I'm sorry..."
"So why do you apologize? Huh?”
Mo Tan looked away with a red face, coughed dryly and whispered softly: "I should thank you."
Yuchen shook his head vigorously, pinched the corner of his clothes and whispered : "I just feel that I have to do something, just... combined with this paragraph The animation I was watching... made up those strange words just now, eh, so shameful!"
It was only now that the girl suddenly realized that what she just said was very similar to those in hot-blooded comics and some love stories. lines, her face suddenly turned red.
"Well, it's quite shameful."
Then Mo Tan nodded. He actually nodded. You can believe it! ?
"Hmm!"
Yuchen's body trembled slightly, and his head hung lower and lower, like a frightened ostrich.
Mo Tan laughed, and then said in a very deliberately joking tone: "If the plot develops according to the king's way, the next step should be a kiss scene, right?"
"Eh!!! Me, me, me..."
The girl swayed unsteadily twice, almost falling to the ground. Her little face looked at Mo Tan with horror: "Then, that... you, you You..."
"Hey, even if you are joking, this kind of reaction is too hurtful, right?"
Mo Tan weakly leaned back on the chair, waved his hands and said: "Let's stop making trouble, let's get down to business. ”
Yuchen’s reaction After waiting for a while, he tilted his head stupidly: "What's the business?"
"The first phase of the battle tomorrow, I still think it's a bit too random."
"Yes. ”
"Don't say it's none of your business, okay? It's still too late to change the plan now..."
"Is there a better plan?" "That's not true, but..."
"It doesn't matter, just follow the original plan. You have to believe me~"
"I don't believe you, but..."
"Then it's settled!"
"..."
...
The next day
Game time AM07:01
Southern border of Misha County, tributary of Jinhui River, Long Bridge
Xia Lian squatted on a row of large wooden boxes without grace, looked at the rising sun in the east, and whispered softly: "It's about to begin. Ah..."
It seems to be sensing What happened? Outside the weak barrier at the end of the bridge, the densely packed mutants seemed to have become a little restless. The outermost ones had even begun to raise their claws to scratch the bright and hot light curtain, even if both arms were gone. He was burnt to a crisp and didn't even realize it.
“Tch, your reaction is really sensitive.”
Her Royal Highness the Saint curled her lips, jumped down from the wooden box lightly, turned to the young man dressed as a ranger behind her and asked : "Is there any news?"
The latter shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty the Commander has not given any instructions yet, but Mr. Cordoba on the other long bridge is ready. He asked me to tell you that it can start at any time."
Xia Lian breathed out softly, leaned over and picked up the Star Gold Cross thrown at her feet, paused hard on the ground, and said anxiously: "Didn't I agree that when the sun rises..."
"Your Majesty the Commander has sent a message!!"
The Ranger player suddenly focused his eyes, interrupted Xia Lian's words with an exclamation, and said loudly: "The first stage of the Requiem will start immediately. , the Joint Force Headquarters wishes everyone in Shawa and Ebi City good luck in military affairs!”
Bang! !
The cross in Xia Lian's hand fell heavily, directly smashing a huge wooden box into pieces. In an instant, a large amount of crystal green powder exploded, and quickly concentrated on the Holy Lady under a bright and soft light. Within a radius of three meters, there are like countless fireflies bound in mid-air.
The next second, the mutants entrenched outside the long bridge roared loudly like a pot exploding, and began to rush towards the bridge head where Xia Lian was sitting like crazy. The originally not very bright place The barrier dimmed instantly and became shaky, as if it might collapse at any time.
"Thirty minutes."
The Elf Saint turned her head to look at the more than a hundred figures with resolute faces behind her, and said in a deep voice to these last living forces in Abby City: "Three I’ll be back in ten minutes, I’ll leave this time to you.”
There was no answer, but four words reflected in everyone’s eyes——
Fight to the death and never retreat!
"May the goddess bless you."
Xia Lian didn't talk nonsense. She just chanted in a low voice and rushed out of the barrier without looking back, carrying the total in her arms. About a hundred copies of Luna's special [Powerful Concentrated Glowing Powder] crashed into the wave of countless mutants, waving the cross in their hands and killing them all the way north, leaving only giant mutants behind wherever they passed. Deep pits dug out by force, as well as countless broken limbs!
At the same time, those who were standing behind Xia Lian all took a step forward. The melee professionals swung their weapons and quickly smashed the remaining dozen wooden boxes. The casters simultaneously communicated with the ubiquitous wind element in the air, summoning gusts of wind to spread the glowing powder flying in the sky evenly to every corner within dozens of meters, including everyone present.
As if a ladle of ice water was poured into boiling oil, the thousands of mutants around them suddenly became even more crazy. It only took them less than five seconds to forcefully break through. With all the oil and lamps drying up, people rushed to the bridge one after another.
"Guys!"
A bearded man dressed as a mage raised two flames high and shouted with red eyes: "For your family and friends who are still alive or have died, and for those who are about to The stranger who bleeds and fights for us, fuck him!”
Fuck him!”
On the other side, the long bridge in front of Sahua City, Cordoba. Alternately activating the gravity, gust and anti-gravity runes in the body, a circle of three meters square was formed around it, wrapped in the same large amount of [Powerful Concentrated Glow Powder], it rushed out of the bridge and turned into a turbulent green storm. Sweeping toward the north.
Xiaolang knocked over the wooden box next to him with a sword and stared at the tall figure gradually disappearing into the distance. In a trance, he seemed to see the fair and righteous stickmen in Fair City who had bullied him for many years. ……
The irritating back figures are still visible!
Fortunately, now I also have things that I need to protect, such as every innocent person I don’t know in the city behind me, such as the companions around me who are subconsciously blocking my way, such as...
Only if you are lucky enough to survive can you be qualified to consider the justice in your own heart.
He roared, facing the terrifying number of monsters, he moved his slightly trembling legs and rushed forward first: "Everyone, come together!"

Game time AM07:19
Hodir Mountain Road, Misha County, Joint Forces Station, Command Account
“The mutant clusters in areas Z4, Z8, Z13, and Z21 were successfully guided!”< br>
Standing next to Mo Tan, Yu Ying quickly browsed the message board and relayed the latest information from each observation point loudly and simultaneously: "The mutants in areas Z5 and Z11 are too far away, and there is not enough time for the science to detect them. Erdua continued to break in, but the induction failed. About half of the mutants in the Z15 area were mistakenly guided to the Z16 area. The reason was visually judged to be that the divine power of Her Majesty the Saint had weakened significantly half a minute ago, causing some of the glow powder to lose control."
Mo Tan quickly adjusted several black chess pieces on the map and asked without raising his head: "How is the situation of the two long bridges now?"
"Wait a moment... There is a stalemate on the long bridge in front of Shawa City. The mutants have shown no sign of breaking through the defense line for the time being. The garrison has been reduced by a quarter. The consumption in all aspects is huge. It is visually estimated that it can last for up to ten minutes."
Yu Ying frowned tightly and stared at his message board and continued: "The observer of the Abby City Long Bridge, 'Fujino Research Wolf', was killed in action and has temporarily lost contact!"
"Tell Over in Shawa City, they must hold on for at least five more minutes! No matter what they do, they must hold on until they get back to Cordoba! Then let any player in Ebi City rush to the bridge to report the situation!"
< br>Mo Tan drew a diagonal line on the map expressionlessly, and after two seconds of silence, he clenched his fists hard...
"Ask the observers from Z17 to meet Xia Lian. , telling her to ensure guidance in the next six areas, even if the speed is reduced a little, and then tell the people in Abby City to be ready... to put in civilian reserves."
