Quadruple split.

Chapter 421 Phase One
The numerical ratio 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 fighter can kill two or three mutants. If it is a paladin, this number will be doubled. Among them, Taro It's not a problem for middle-level paladins like knights to fight one against ten. As for fierce people like Cordova and Xia Lian, they can kill at least [-] or [-] mutants by rushing into the monster pile. Existence like a human-headed machine.

Moreover, the intelligence of the mutant is still approximately equal to zero. It is a creature that acts entirely on instinct. Apart from the desire for flesh and blood, it does not have any thinking ability. Waiting for things to deceive and mislead, and completely adhering to the attitude of turning a blind eye to various traps. Apart from anything else, he is reckless, and he is definitely an ideal target for war.

but……

"As long as 'quality' cannot occupy an absolute advantage, then under such a quantitative gap, our advantages will be infinitely compressed."

Mo Tan sighed deeply, staring at the large area painted red on the map and murmured in a low voice: "A low-level fighter can completely wipe out the enemy when facing three mutants, and he won't It is life-threatening; if you can kill three of the five mutants, the survival rate is [-]%; if you fight ten mutants at the same time, you can kill two at most, and the survival rate is less than [-]%..."

Yu Chen stood quietly behind Mo Tan and didn't interrupt, because she knew very well that the other party was not really explaining something, but just clarifying his thoughts for himself.

"Whether it's Xia Lian, Cordova, or the five high-ranking paladins who just arrived here these two days, they don't have the power to make a final decision. When facing those tens of thousands of monsters who are not afraid of death , 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 thick that it was almost pure black, and said in a low voice: "Although the intelligence is limited, But those mutants also have the two characteristics of not getting tired and not being afraid, how many enemies we can destroy with our tricks, and how many soldiers they can overwhelm under the drive of madness, to be honest, I have no confidence at all."

Yu Chen pursed his lips, then lightly tugged on the corner of Mo Tan's clothes, and smiled stickily at the latter who was a little dazed in his eyes: "Everyone is not fighting for you."

Mo Tan blinked: "Huh?"

"The only thing to see clearly."

The girl turned slightly sideways, looked at the bustling camp outside the tent, and said with a smile: "Whether it's Sister Xia Lian, Mr. Taylor, Priest Fuhrman, Yuying, Luna, I That’s right, all the people who have worked so hard on this land are not fighting for Mo Tan, understand?”

Mo Tan gave a wry smile, nodded without thinking: "Of course I understand this kind of thing..."

"Do you really understand?"

Yuchen interrupted him with rare force, wrinkled his little nose and said, "Since sister Xia Lian handed over the command power to you in Mida City, you feel that you are responsible for everyone and sacrificed everyone's life. Is it a little too arrogant to carry it on my shoulders, and it still looks like it should be taken for granted?"

"I……"

"You sat in the position of commander. Although you were a little reluctant and very, very uncomfortable, you still complained and worked hard. You felt that you had an obligation to lead everyone to one victory after another."

Yu Chen looked into Mo Tan's eyes tenderly, and asked softly, "Am I wrong?"

Mo Tan subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't utter a single word.

"No matter how good a doctor is, he can't save all patients, although the doctor's duty is to save patients."

Yu Chen rarely showed a serious expression, and lightly bumped Mo Tan's shoulder: "And you, the commander who was forced to fight, can't guarantee that we will always win and let everyone survive this battle safely. Disaster, although this example may be somewhat inaccurate, but I think the truth should not be too different..."

Seeing the cute look of the other party who was slightly hesitant, Mo Tan's tight shoulders gradually collapsed, he smiled wryly 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." Yuchen spread his hands and said solemnly: "You told everyone about the risks yesterday, so Since you are willing to stay, it means that everyone here has made a decision. We players, Miss Luna and Mr. Taylor, NPCs are all the same, but your idea of ​​carrying everyone's life seems to be the same. That's too arrogant... isn't it?"

When it came to the end, the girl who was never confident finally lowered her head, and hesitantly turned the affirmative sentence into a question sentence.

But Mo Tan already understood what she meant...

"To put it simply, everyone here doesn't need anyone to shoulder their own lives, because they have already made up their minds, right?"

Mo Tan sat back on the chair again, the previous oppressive and dignified aura faded a lot, and said with a light smile: "You are right, I seem to be too arrogant, to be responsible for everyone's life Thinking about it... it's a bit embarrassing."

Yuchen waved his hands in a panic: "I... I didn't mean to say that you are not good, well, Mo Tan, you have seen everything you have done during this time, but, I just want you to be a little Just relax a little bit, I always feel that you are a little too nervous... Well, I'm sorry..."

"So why are you apologizing?"

Mo Tan looked away with a reddish complexion, coughed dryly and said softly: "I should thank you."

Yu Chen shook his head vigorously, pinched the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice: "I just felt that I had to do something, so... combined with the animation I watched during this period... I made up those strange words just now, um, What a shame!"

It wasn't until now that the girl suddenly realized that what she said just now was very similar to the lines in some romance dramas, and her little face suddenly turned red.

"Well, it's kind of embarrassing."

Then Mo Tan actually nodded, he actually nodded, can you believe it! ?

"Well!"

Yu Chen's body trembled slightly, his head lowered lower and lower, like a frightened ostrich.

Mo Tan laughed, and then said in a very deliberate joking tone: "If it follows the kingly plot, the next one should be a kissing scene, right?"

"Hey!!! Me, me, me..."

The girl staggered on the spot twice, almost fell to the ground, and looked at Mo Tan with a small face full of horror: "Then that... you you you..."

"Hey, even if it's a joke, isn't this reaction too hurtful?"

Mo Tan fell back on the chair weakly, waved his hands and said: "Stop making trouble, let's continue talking about business."

Yu Chen reacted for a long time before tilting his head stupidly: "What's the business?"

"Tomorrow's first stage of combat, I still feel a little too messy."

"Have it?"

"Don't say that such a matter has nothing to do with you, it's still too late to change the plan..."

"Is there a better plan?"

"That's not true, but..."

"It's okay, just follow the original plan, you have to trust me~"

"I don't believe you, but..."

"Then it's settled!"

"..."

……

next day
Game timeAM07:01
South of Misha County, Jinhui River Tributary, Long Bridge
Xia Lian squatted on a row of large wooden boxes without grace, looked at the rising sun in the east, and murmured softly: "It's about to start..."

As if sensing something, outside the weak barrier at the head of the bridge, the densely packed mutants seemed to become a little restless, and the outermost ones even started to raise their paws to scratch the bright and fiery light curtain, even if the two Both arms have been scorched into charcoal without even realizing it.

"Tch, the reaction is really sensitive."

Her Highness curled her lips, jumped down from the wooden box lightly, turned her head and asked the young man dressed as a ranger behind her, "Is there any news?"

The latter shook his head slightly: "Your Excellency Commander hasn't given any instructions yet, but Lord Cordoba on the other long bridge has already finished preparations, and he asked me to tell you that the side can start at any time."

Xia Lian exhaled softly, leaned over and picked up the star-gold cross that was casually thrown at her feet, paused on the ground, and said anxiously: "Didn't it be agreed that when the sun rises..."

"Your Excellency Commander has sent a message!!"

The ranger player suddenly focused his eyes, and interrupted Xia Lian with an exclamation, and said loudly: "The first stage of the Requiem will start immediately, and the Joint Force Headquarters wish Shawa and everyone in Eby City prosper in martial arts!"

Bah! !

The cross in Xia Lian's hand fell heavily, and directly smashed a huge wooden box into pieces. In an instant, a large amount of crystal green powder exploded, and quickly concentrated on Her Royal Highness under a bright and soft light. Within a radius of three meters, it looks like countless fireflies bound in mid-air.

In the next second, the mutants entrenched outside the long bridge roared loudly like a frying pan, and frantically began to rush towards the bridgehead where Xia Lian was. Going down, it becomes shaky, and it seems that it may collapse at any time.

"thirty minutes."

The elf saintess turned her head to look at the more than one hundred figures with firm faces behind her, and said in a low voice to these last living forces in Eby City: "I will be back in thirty minutes, and I will leave this time to everyone."

There was no answer, but there were four words in everyone's eyes——

Never retreat!

"May the goddess bless you."

Xia Lian didn't talk nonsense, but after chanting a sentence in a low voice, she rushed out of the barrier without looking back, and slammed into it with a total of about a hundred parts of Luna's special [Strength Concentrated Glow Powder]. In the wave of countless mutants, they waved the cross in their hands and killed them all the way to the north, leaving only deep pits thrown out by huge force, and countless stumps and broken arms!

At the same time, those who were originally standing behind Xia Lian took a step forward in unison. The melee professionals swung their weapons and quickly smashed the remaining dozen wooden boxes. The ubiquitous wind element summoned gusts of wind and evenly scattered the glowing powder flying all over the sky to every corner within tens of meters around, including everyone present.

As if a ladle of ice water was suddenly poured into the boiling oil, the thousands of mutants around became even more frenzied. It took them less than five seconds to forcefully break through the knot where the oil was exhausted and the lights were dry. In the world, one after another flocked to the bridgehead.

"guys!"

A bearded man dressed as a mage held up two flames high and shouted with red eyes: "For your family members and friends who are still alive or dead, and for those strangers who are about to bleed and die for us, do it! Damn!"

"Damn it!!!"

On the other side, at the long bridge in front of Shawa City, Cordoba alternately activated the gravity, gust of wind and anti-gravity runes in his body, forming a circle of three meters square around it, wrapped in the same large amount of [Strong Concentrated Glow Powder] rushed out of the bridge, turned into a raging emerald green storm and swept away to the north.

The little wolf knocked over the wooden box next to him with a sword, staring fixedly at the tall figure that gradually disappeared into the distance, as if in a trance, he saw those fair sticks in Fair City who had bullied him for many years...

All the irritating backs are still in sight!
Fortunately, now I also have things to protect, such as every innocent person in the city behind me who has never met before, such as those companions who subconsciously stand in front of me, such as...

If you can survive by luck, you are qualified to consider the justice in your heart.

With a roar, facing the terrifying number of monsters, he moved his slightly trembling legs and rushed up first: "Everyone go together!"

……

Game timeAM07:19
Hodir Hill Road, Mesa County, Combined Forces Station, Command Ledger
"The clusters of mutants in Z4, Z8, Z13, and Z21 have been guided successfully!"

Standing beside Mo Tan, Yuying quickly browsed the message board, loudly and synchronously relaying the latest information from each observation point: "The mutants in Z5 and Z11 are too far away, and there is not enough time for Cordoba to continue to break into the , the induction failed, and about half of the mutants in Z15 area were misled to Z16 area, the reason is that the magic power of Her Majesty the Holy Maiden was greatly attenuated half a minute ago, which caused some of the radiance 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 Sandwald City. The mutants have not shown any signs of breaking through the defense line. The garrison has been reduced by a quarter. All aspects are exhausted. Visually, they can last for up to ten minutes."

Yu Ying frowned tightly, staring at her message board and continued: "The observer of the Long Bridge in Eby City, 'Fujino Research Wolf', was killed and temporarily lost contact!"

"Tell Shawa City that they must persist for at least five more minutes! No matter what method is used, they must persist until Cordoba returns! Then let any player in Eby immediately rush to the bridge to report the situation!"

Mo Tan drew a diagonal line on the map expressionlessly, and clenched his fists after two seconds of silence...

"Let the observers from Z17 meet Xia Lian, tell her to ensure the guidance of the next six areas, even if the speed is reduced a little, and then tell the side of Eby City to make them ready...to join the civilian reserve team. "
