Mo Tan, who had been in a daze in front of the desktop for who knows how long, relaxed slightly With a tone of voice, he moved his eyes away from the various alchemy chess pieces in front of him, and his tense expression finally relaxed slightly, and in the next second it habitually changed into his usual stressed-out appearance.
【In any case, the fog that has always been lingering in front of us has finally been lifted a little】
Mo Tan played with a white chess piece unconsciously, spinning it quickly between his fingers in a pretentious manner, and managed a smile amidst the bursts of stomach pain caused by pressure.
Although he still didn’t know what the Whispering Cultists were thinking, nor why the knight commander Jeff Harrington who led the crusade remained stationary, this did not prevent him from successfully clarifying the truth. The idea is one's own, or rather the idea of what the people on the Sumir side of the Holy Mountain should do.
Hei Fan, that is, Mo Tan, who appears in the realm of innocence at this moment with an absolutely neutral personality, has been a person who understands people's hearts from the very beginning. It is true that from a pure personality perspective, and Not to mention his other two personalities, even compared with Yu Ying, Jun Wu, Ya Ya and others, the current Mo Tan will be a little ordinary, but it is him like this who has whether it is 'Tan Mo' or ' An advantage that even Silent' can't achieve.
As the old saying goes, he has a moderate temperament and understands people's hearts well enough to be able to empathize with and empathize with most people.
Although they are one person, it is absolutely impossible for Mo Tan to understand each other, let alone whether he can empathize with most people, if he is lawful good or chaotic neutral.
But as the 'Black Brahma', he is different. To put it more bluntly, he can even understand the other two personalities, which are almost polar opposites of each other, so there is nothing he cannot understand.
This is the premise, coupled with his extremely tolerant style of behavior that does not mind relying on others in an absolutely neutral state, has created this person who is regarded as a boss by thousands of players and is known as Xia Lian is the 'commander' who is favored and trusted by many NPCs.
In fact, no matter which personality Mo Tan is under, whether he is a chaotic and neutral 'Tan Mo' in the realm of innocence, or a lawful and good 'Mo', he just wants to be Whether they are a salted fish and their biggest wish is to eat and die and become a "Black Fan" of the casual party, the foundation they have has always been the same.
Whether it is experience, knowledge, knowledge, or knowledge, there is actually no difference between these three people.
However, on the basis that they are exactly the same, with no difference of even 0.1%, he has taken three completely different and unique paths in this game.
To put it simply, it's like three chefs with the same ingredients spent the same time, but finally made three dishes with completely different styles.
As Hei Fan, he cannot do the things that 'Mo' or 'Tan Mo' can do. Even if he has the same foundation, he will never be able to do it, and for the same thing, no one can compare with the other. The other two personalities who have studied for an extra year and read half a book more cannot do what the 'Black Fan' can do. For example, they can become a person who, although they are often pushed to the shelves, are always in love with each other. A commander who only took over the responsibility as a last resort and under great pressure.
There are some things that only Mo Tan can see, or is willing to see, when he plays the role of 'Black Brahma'.
Regardless of factors such as intelligence and strategy, the fundamental difference between Mo Tan and himself is, to put it simply, the difference in ideas and thinking patterns. To put it philosophically, it is the difference between worldview, outlook on life and moral outlook. .
All of this will eventually form their unique overall view.
Whenever anything is put in front of Mo Tan, there will be three angles, three ways of understanding, and three ways of handling it.
In the field of war, the one who can exert the greatest energy and come up with the optimal solution is naturally Hei Fan.
You must know that he tolerates not only his own people, but also his enemies.
He didn't know what the Whispering Cultists were going to do, but that didn't mean that he couldn't create trouble for those guys.
This method of handling is not high-end at all, and is even a bit rustic. If I have to sum it up, it is to never do what the enemy expects when the enemy is prepared, and refuse to be led in anyway. Walk with nose in your mouth.
Many people understand this truth, but not everyone can respond to such a complicated situation with precision.
But, at this moment, Mo Tan can!
The current [Defend the Holy Mountain] is not [Protect Misha]. The role of tactics is already very limited, so if you want to break the situation, what you need is.
"Strategy" ”
Ink Tan stood up slowly, moved his stiff shoulders twice, casually dropped the white chess piece between his fingers on the map, bumped into a black chess piece placed outside the main peak of Sumir, and sighed softly. Tone: "It's a lot of pressure"
Game time AM09:25
Main Peak of Holy Mountain Sumir, War Hall, Second Floor Command Room
“I said, if you have anything to do, why don’t you just send a message directly? Why do you do it in person? Come here? And choose such a crappy place?”
Huo Yanyang was huddled in the corner wrapped in a thick sacrificial robe, staring at Mo Tan with dissatisfaction. This war hall, which was just built two days ago, has not yet been officially put into use, and it has not even been used by the fire element. Bless you, the room temperature is quite unfriendly to people who are afraid of the cold.
“Because I need to discuss the future plan with you, and if nothing else happens, you should make a proposal to those great prophets, great shamans and the like later.”
Mo Tan shrugged his shoulders, walked a little tiredly to the square table in the center of the command room, sat down, and waved to Huo Yanyang: "Stop cowering there, come here quickly."
Huo Yanyang didn't Reluctantly, she stood up from the corner, hunched her neck, walked to sit next to Mo Tan, and said concisely: "Say."
The female knight standing behind Mo Tan like a javelin was helpless. She shook her head. She really couldn't understand how this red-haired orc who looked so masculine could be so afraid of the cold, but she still mobilized her power and released a halo of piety, or [Piety halo- Dawn Sect Version], in addition to the most basic small increase in the resistance of surrounding friendly units, it also has the effect of slowly restoring the physical strength of the affected person.
By the way, this is also one of the few Dawn Sect versions of universal basic magic that does not add critical strikes/crit injuries.
In short, under the influence of this pious halo, both Mo Tan and Huo Yanyang suddenly felt a lot warmer. As for Yi Zuo, she really didn’t feel anything. After all, she is a high-level paladin. Even though she is the only woman among the three, her physique and resistance are stronger than those of Mo Tan, the priest, and Huo Yanyang, the war priest. This level of room temperature has no impact on her at all.
"Thank you, sister Yi Zuo."
Huo Yanyang smiled shyly at the female knight. This guy is really good at climbing up. Since the last time he passed the discussion about 'players' and 'missions' After the topic successfully brought the latter closer, Huo Yanyang took advantage of the situation and changed his name to call her a girl. However, there was nothing wrong with this. After all, compared with Yi Xuan, who had just turned twenty for a full year, he was indeed older. He is two years old.
Yizou nodded and smiled. Since the topic of puppet conducting was discussed last time, she no longer has any objection to this senior’s good friend. Instead, she feels that this person is quite genuine. .
Of course, her pious aura was mainly given to her seniors.
"Don't be shy, let's get down to business." Mo Tan gave Huo Yanyang an elbow, and then took out several exquisitely shaped small boxes with a faint chemical scent from his luggage. While taking out the alchemy chess pieces one by one, he glanced sideways at Huo Yanyang and asked, "Did you understand the message I just sent you?"
“I understand it no more.”
The latter also put on a playful smile and said seriously: “I didn’t expect that in addition to the world missions we received, there are actually There are missions to help those cultists, and the rewards are better than ours. This is really a problem. To be honest, if I hadn’t been mentally resolute and had been fighting in Sumir, I would probably have to do it. Tempting."
"Think too much, you have no chance."
Mo Tan twitched his lips and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you read the requirements carefully? It's limited to the evil camp. It’s chaos and kindness, it’s useless to be tempted.”
Huo Yanyang laughed dryly and said: "That's what I said. Of course I have read the requirements. I feel that it is not very easy to satisfy. It must be evil and enter the absolute control area of the cultists. There should be no such thing. Too many players are turning to the opposite side, right?”
“Of course there won’t be many, but this mission itself is already very telling.”
Mo Tan looked at the broad Su in front of him. Mir placed a piece on the map and said calmly: "Since there is a mission, it means that despite the huge gap in numbers and strength between the two sides, the cultists who seem to be at an absolute disadvantage at first glance still have a chance to achieve their goals."< br>
Huo Yanyang frowned: "Kill us Sumir?"
"Didn't you see the question mark?"
Mo Tan rolled his eyes at him, and then briefly explained what he had imagined before. Not only did Huo Yanyang understand it this time, but even the female knight who had always only half understood it understood it.
"Senior, what do you mean?"
Yizou frowned and asked hesitantly: "The purpose of those heretics is not to attack Sumir, but they have some other evil purpose?"
“Yes, I won’t say whether it’s evil or not, but it certainly won’t be. What a good thing, so we must not let those people succeed."
Mo Tan placed the last chess piece, held the table with both hands and said solemnly: "In other words, Sumil can't do this anymore. Continue to spend time with those enemies who are deliberately trying to stabilize the situation.”
Huo Yanyang's eyes lit up: "Do you know the ultimate goal of those bastards?"
"I'm not God, how can I know such a thing."
Mo Tan shook his head hard. He shook his head, then pointed at the dozen black chess pieces scattered on the map in front of him and the red cross area on a hollowed-out mountain peak where the Whispering Cult secretly built a 'Whispering City', and whispered : "But at least we know what those cultists are planning now."
"What plan?"
Huo Yanyang and Yi Zuo asked in unison.
"Maybe they are buying time."
Mo Tan frowned slightly, stretched out his index finger to poke an arc at the original halfway point of the main peak of the Holy Mountain, and said firmly: "Just half a month ago , the enemy's main combat power is still concentrated in this position, and now, they have not only withdrawn from above, but also withdrew almost half of the combat power originally stationed at the foot of the mountain. Apart from daily routine harassment, there is almost no more What does it mean to have fought a tough battle with us?”
“They are buying time?”
Huo Yanyang wittily repeated what Mo Tan said a few seconds ago. , looking very smart.
“I personally think so. Although I still don’t know what the purpose of those cultists is, whether it is to preserve their strength, wait for reinforcements, brewing conspiracy, or they are looking for opportunities to achieve their goals once and for all. , they obviously need time, and during this period of time that they don’t know how long it will last, they obviously don’t want to cause any complications.”
Mo Tan moved a few chess pieces that were originally located at the foot of the mountain back to the position of the 'Babble City', and gently rubbed his forehead while saying: "During this period, when the joint crusade of the Holy Religion remained stationary, they were beaten by the cultists in the early stage. The one who was in pain, Sumir, that is, we, unintentionally cooperated with the other party's ideas and enjoyed this relatively comfortable time with peace of mind."
Huo Yanyang shrugged and spread his hands. : "But we have to recover. The losses in the past six months have been too great."
"The other party thinks so too."
Mo Tan glanced at him lightly, shook his head and said: "The reason why they are planning things that we don't know the content with peace of mind is because those people know very well that as long as the offensive is slowed down, the Sumir side will definitely seize the opportunity to recover as you said. Indeed, we should be like this Do it, but just because we should do it, we must not do it."
Huo Yanyang nodded and gave up thinking: "I was confused."
"I didn't react at first. After all, with the Holy Cult jointly in charge, there is no problem with the other party choosing to temporarily hibernate."
Mo Tan smiled, then narrowed his eyes slightly: "But after learning about the mission on the cultist side from Goshawk, this matter is not as simple as it seems. It is obvious that the other party still has a chance to win, regardless of whether their current behavior has anything to do with this 'opportunity' , we can’t keep the situation under the control of the other party.”
Yizou, who is more military-minded, pursed his lips and asked softly: “So, what do you mean, senior”
< br>"Those cultists have suppressed Sumir and fought for so long. How can there be any reason to say that if you don't play, you won't play?"
Mo Tan snorted softly and grabbed the number at the main peak of Sumir. A chess piece was slapped at the foot of the mountain: "It's just right. In total, I have been resting for a long time. Let's not talk about the principal for the time being. Let's calculate the interest with them first."
