Chapter 358 Two methods
ten minutes later
Temporary station at Doe Hill, the tent of 'The Forgotten Maiden and Commander Black Brahma'
Taro, the temporary leader of the paladins, Priest Furman of the Justice Sect, Yu Ying, the first intelligence adjutant, and the two saintesses of the Dawn Sect gathered here, together with Motan who had been staring at the map in silence, The main backbone of the Misha County Joint Force is basically in place.

As for why it is basically not all...

"Hey, why haven't you seen Miss Luna?"

The burly officiant Furman asked Hei Fan with a smile. This middle-aged orc, who looked like a warrior at first glance, but looked like a berserker at a closer look, had a negative ability to perceive words and expressions, and he didn't notice it at all. The young man who was trusted by everyone in front of him had a sour face that he was about to drip water, and he was still shaking his head and sighing: "Speaking of which, the battle yesterday was really exciting, I couldn't help it at the last moment , according to that skinny mutant is a nail hammer, the feel is simply..."

Bang! !

A staff-like slender cross directly knocked Furman to the ground, leaving a shallow pit in the shape of a human.

"Well, it feels really good."

Xia Lian sighed leisurely, took back the star gold cross in her hand, looked at Mo Tan, frowned and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Her Royal Highness's complexion is much better than before. On the one hand, it is because of Xia Lian's strong background, and on the other hand, it is also related to the fact that Mo Tan hardly allowed her to participate in too much work after taking over the command, so she could not be free. The elven saint who uses divine magic has been acting as a super reserve team since the moment the large troops arrived in the Gudami Plain. Thanks to Mo Tan's nearly error-free arrangement, tons of preparation plans, endless remedial measures, and impeccable real-time command, the only official record of His Royal Highness Xia Lian's attack during this period is the one with Cordoba. It's just to learn from each other.

Sufficient rest and recuperation made her look no different from the previous heyday. Of course... it just looks the same. In Xia Lian's own words, she can hang ten times a month ago. With such a self, I don't know whether this remark is exaggeration or blackmail.

"Luna has been working too hard recently, and she is still resting in the alchemy workshop."

Mo Tan took a deep breath, suppressed his worry, and said to Priest Furman, who had started to roll his eyes, "It's too late to tell her the details later. In short, because it happened suddenly, I hope you don't mind my hasty call .”

Yu Ying, who was already very familiar with the former, curled her lips and said impatiently: "No one minds, no one minds, the scene is almost enough to talk about, if you have something to say, please hurry up."

"Ah... so it's a scene..."

Yu Chen, who was looking for tea leaves in his luggage, raised his head and blinked in surprise: "I thought it was common sense to apologize first every time we have a meeting."

Mo Tan: "..."

However, being interrupted by the two of them, the originally depressing atmosphere was dispelled a lot, which also made Mo Tan slightly relieved. He didn't deliberately adjust his emotions just because he didn't notice everyone coming in, and he didn't really want to. Put on such a gloomy face to talk to everyone about those bad things.

"All in all, the plans we negotiated had to be adjusted."

Mo Tan lightly tapped on the low table in front of him after everyone sat down casually (Fullman got up from the ground, so he was also considered to be sitting down), shrugged and said, "Because of an unexpected piece of good news."

Xia Lian froze for a moment: "Good news? I thought you were going to give us a lot of bad news."

Mo Tan smiled wryly: "The bad news is coming later, let's come one by one..."

"That's okay." Fuhrman rubbed his shoulders, grinned and said, "Otherwise, wouldn't my beating just now be in vain?"

Honest Taylor gave him a helpless look, and said in a low voice, "Master Furman, what you said is not appropriate."

He feels that there is absolutely no regret in not having bad news.

"Fuck off BB first."

Xia Lian raised her eyebrows, and rolled her eyes at Taylor and Fuhrman: "I'm not a BB either, let's listen to Hei Fan BB first."

Yu Ying covered her face in frustration, and regretted that she had spoken so many 'local dialects' in front of this high-skilled saintess, and even offered to teach her some, such as BB...

Mo Tan laughed slightly, nodded lightly and said: "Then I'll go first... Cough, let's talk first, first of all, the first thing, our Iron Ranger Captain, Mr. Cordoba has arrived successfully. One of the southernmost twin cities in Misha County, Shava City, located in the southwest of a tributary of the Jinhui River, is now rushing to Eby City. What is exciting is that the two theoretically located in the most densely populated areas of mutant cities It was not breached, and despite paying a considerable price, the people there still guarded the city gate... No, to be precise, it should be the river bank, so they have persisted until now."

"My lord is above!"

"Praise the Goddess."*2
"Life is hard enough."

"Great!"

Everyone uttered...different sighs at the same time.

Among them, Tai Luo, who has relatively high military literacy, nodded thoughtfully after praising the goddess, and said in a deep voice: "I have an impression of the location of those two cities. If they rely on the Jinhui River, the people inside can stick to it until It's not surprising now."

He guessed right. The main reason why the two twin cities, which were theoretically impossible to save, were able to persist in the tide of corpses until now was the tributary of the Jinhui River mentioned by Mo Tan just now.

[Golden Brilliance] and [Silver Flow] are the most well-known rivers on the innocent continent, and they are so recorded in the general knowledge of the mainland——

Jinhui River: The trickle flowing from the holy mountain Sumer finally turned into a rushing river, all the way to the east, and finally merged into the ocean at Sunrise Port. In the blessings of the river, the banks of the river have been irrigated into the most fertile land
Silver Crystal River: The Silver Crystal River originated from the dark forest, and finally merged with the Jinhui River to become the largest river on the mainland—the Holy Flow River. At the confluence of the two rivers, stands the most magnificent city in the Eastern Continent: Sanctuary City of Light.

Compared with the rivers in the Western Continent, which are nicknamed "wild ditches" by many easterners, the Jinhui River and the Yinjing River are simply too large to describe. It is not just a kind of saying that they have been blessed by the spirit of water and the spirit of the earth. Just a joke, because they really seem to be some kind of miracles that have been deliberately created. There are traces of them in all kinds of mysterious religious books, mysterious bardic poems, and mysterious inheritance totems. Full of romanticism, with almost zero traces of believability.

The twin cities of Shava and Ebby, located in the southern border of Misha County, were saved by a tributary of the Jinhui River.

In the Eastern Continent, most people know that the Jinhui River splits in place in the valley named after itself... Cough, it is divided into two, and the larger one going to the east will pass through the City of Light , and where it merges with the Yinjing River to become the holy river that leads directly to the sea, and the one that diverges to the west will branch into several tributaries along the way, passing through the Principality of Scarland, the southwest of the sanctuary, the Violet Empire and other places, and finally They changed their names one by one, becoming... Well, so far, except for those masters who are proficient in geography, most people can't memorize them.

All in all, about one-third of the land in the southwestern part of Misha County was cut off by one of the tributaries, and the cities of Shava and Eby were located there. The huge iron-wooden bridge, but the river that is so turbulent that boats cannot sail or even fish can still cause a lot of inconvenience to people. If it is not for the fact that the west side happens to be bordered by the Principality of Sri Lanka, the life of the people of the Twin Cities will definitely become extremely difficult .

But at this time, this much-criticized tributary has become a barrier, a barrier of life.

"That's right, the people of the Twin Cities have been able to persevere until now, mainly because of that river."

Mo Tan nodded, and explained in a slow voice: "The two city lords of Sawa City and Ebi City discovered the clues after the first batch of mutants appeared, and they dealt with them promptly and properly, paying only a very small price. Then the spread of the mutants was controlled, and some fortifications were built in front of the two long bridges in a short period of time, which can withstand countless impacts until now."

Priest Furman smacked his lips and sighed: "It's admirable, so what's their current situation."

"The situation is not very good. On the one hand, the mutant clusters in the south are getting bigger and bigger. Their numbers are snowballing and the threat is getting bigger and bigger. The consumption of the Twin Cities is also increasing. Even if there are A small number of rescue teams sent by the Principality of Scarland in a symbolic sense can hardly hold on any longer. The estimated time limit given by the Shava City Chamber is half a month, at most half a month, and the mutants will surely break through the long bridge. "

Mo Tan explained the situation relayed by Cordoba solemnly, and continued after everyone digested it for a while: "On the other hand..."

"Wait a minute, I have a question."

Yuying suddenly raised her hand at this moment, and asked in bewilderment: "Why didn't they just smash the bridge? Didn't those mutants rush over there until now, and the current is so fast there, first Not to mention whether those things can swim or not, even if they can, they will probably be washed away, so it’s okay to smash the bridge?”

Mo Tan opened his mouth with a wry smile, but before he could answer, he was interrupted by the officiant Furman...

"What, Miss Yuying, you may not know."

The middle-aged orc touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Those two bridges are theoretically very difficult to smash, well, to be precise, they are very, very difficult to smash..."

Yuying was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Could it be that the iron-wood bridge is so powerful that the iron-wood bridge it made is particularly hard?"

"Uh, that's not the case. Although the iron-wood bridge itself is indeed very hard, if it's just an ordinary one, it would take a long time to find some ordinary craftsmen to tear it down, but the two bridges in Misha County A bridge built with the help of our Holy Communion will be different."

Furman laughed, and spread his hands and said: "He was jointly blessed by two high-level bishops of the Sun God Sect and a holy son of the Abundance Sect, and has obtained an unparalleled strong attribute. Although it is not completely indestructible, but ..."

"Let me in my heyday let go of my hand and smash it for a day, I guess I can smash it."

Xia Lian followed what Fuhrman said, and then made a grimace: "But if I was in my prime, at most one and a half days would be able to settle the current mess."

Mo Tan shrugged to Yuying who kept rolling her eyes: "It is precisely because of this that the people of the Twin Cities cannot tear down those two bridges, and because of the blockade, they cannot take refuge in the Principality of Scarland. , the number of people infected with the plague in the two cities has exceeded [-]%, which is not a small number, not to mention that the biggest crisis they are facing now is not the threat of mutants..."

Yu Chen, who was distributing black tea to everyone, stopped and stared blankly at Mo Tan: "What is that?"

"food."

The latter didn't make a fool of himself, but said bluntly: "They need food, otherwise we don't have to wait until the mutants break through the long bridge. Hunger alone is enough to destroy everyone. The food reserves in Sawa City and Eby City are very limited. Because of the geographical environment, it is not suitable for the growth of crops there. In the past, the two cities basically imported food from the Principality of Scarland or the nearest Fair City, but since the plague spread, the food on the Scarland side The channel is no longer working, and when the mutants appear..."

He sighed and said nothing.

"How long can you last?"

Xia Lian clenched her fists and looked at Mo Tan with burning eyes: "I mean the food."

Mo Tan replied blankly: "In three days, at most three days, the first batch of starved to death should appear."

"What can we do?"

This time it was Yu Chen who spoke.

For a moment, everyone looked at Mo Tan fixedly.

【That's why I don't like being the person in charge, the pressure is really too great...】

Mo Tan sighed in his heart, stretched out his right hand and pressed lightly on the southern part of Misha County on the map: "I've thought about it for a long time. As far as the current situation is concerned, there are only two ways..."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, they really didn't expect Mo Tan to come up with two solutions under such a situation.

"The first method has a very low success rate and a high risk."

Mo Tan moved all the chess pieces on the map located in Gudami Plain and Hind Hill to Panshu City, and dyed them dazzling blood red: "I have a way to temporarily solve the problems of Shava and Ebi City. The food crisis, and then we changed the established plan, broke into the southern border as quickly as possible, stayed in Baita City for a day and set off again, and used Panshu City as a base to formulate a series of plans again. The risk is very, very high, and we are trying to solve it quickly , without mentioning the specific content...but it will be extremely difficult anyway, and it is very likely that all the achievements we have achieved during this period will be ruined."

Taylor, who was sitting at the bottom, shook his head vigorously, and then asked in a deep voice, "What about the second method?"

"It's simple."

Mo Tan withdrew the chess pieces from Panshu City, and evenly spread them on the edge of the southern border with Baita City as the core...

"The original plan remains unchanged. Let the uninfected people in Shava and Ebi go through the blockade to take refuge in the Principality of Scarland, and the rest... all give up."
