"Well, Jing Yuan's intention is to let us protect ourselves, further reduce the size of the accompanying personnel, and let the central army command and a small number of guards go out to cooperate with him, that is, me and a few elite soldiers I selected will go out, and the rest of us will be under martial law in Taibusi... I'm afraid we have to bring Ji Zi and the others in as well this time."
"what?"
"The virtual pawn tactics are very rigid, but if they are manipulated by a big shot from the Destruction Party, they will pose another threat - they have the ability to travel through the Rift. At present, the Three Divisions have been corroded by the star core, and the possibility of them launching a surprise attack... is quite high. The Taibu Division has the fastest warning speed among all platforms, and the degree of corrosion is the least, which is conducive to response. The train is our physical property, and Yukong will send someone to take care of it. The key is to concentrate the personnel on the train as much as possible. This time, everyone really needs to take care of each other."
Kong held the jade omen and thought for a while, then gave a guess that even he felt was ambiguous: "But from the other side's perspective, if they don't want the method of killing the Star God to be widely publicized, they must at least get rid of Liu Yu and a general. As related suspects, our priority will be lower... The pawns of destruction will not think that letting Luo Fu upload information to the marshal and instigate the alliance to hunt down Feng Rao will please their master more than sinking a fairy ship, right?"
"… That sounds reasonable, doesn't it?"
"Forget it, Old Yang... I was just making a random analysis."
Old Yang increasingly understood the magnitude of the impact that Luosha's intelligence had on the trend of the stars - and this also led to another piece of news brought by Kong:
"…Even if I wanted to send everyone back to the Black Tower for refuge, I guess no one would be happy about it. Jizi would be the first one to refuse. So let's skip the diversion and risk reduction plan and directly tell us the good news from the Alliance."
It also provides a good entry point for Yixian and Zhenhai to integrate into the group - nothing can help them quickly get acquainted with the locals better than taking risks together and advancing and retreating together.
"Through the company's line transfer, Jing Yuan has contacted Zhu Ming and is rushing to help here. It's a total of 27 jumps away. There is also Yao Qing's General Tian Ji, who is preparing to join us under the pretext of spring hunting."
"The whole ship?"
"No, they travel light. Only their generals and guards are on the road. Huaiyan and Feixiao, the alliance is putting their chips on the line."
"So many big shots? Is this really good news? I feel like it's too late to get out now..."
Xiao Sanyue was still sleepy at first, but she became alert the moment Kong mentioned General Tianji.
"And Yao Qing's... I heard she's very fierce. Could it be that her attitude towards us is much worse than General Jing Yuan's?"
"It's hard for me to say... But that's Ruan Mei's hometown, right? Snake, why is Ruan Mei silent on the public channel? Hasn't she contacted you?"
"No, little white mouse. After the project was handed over, she went to fiddle with her slices. She said that something interesting seemed to have happened on the other side of the galaxy, and she wanted to deal with it."
"Slice? What's so important that could attract her more than what's happening here? I've called her several times, but she didn't answer."
A puppet similar to the Black Tower, but the slices have more self-awareness than the puppets - to be honest, the application prospects of this thing are more dangerous than the puppets, but Ruan Mei is not Dotore after all, she still has the most basic social common sense, so Kong didn't say anything about her tinkering with those works.
"I think it's probably just that she tricked you into bed and found out that you were just a piece of cake, so she doesn't want to waste her time on you—"
Sheshe couldn't explain why she felt annoyed by Ruan Mei's indifferent attitude.
She had clearly seen Ruan Mei almost reaching the final step with Kong that day, but after she stopped, she was almost invisible next to Kong. She felt unhappy as if the man she cherished was abandoned by another woman who got tired of playing with him.
Although if you think about it carefully, it is still unclear whether Ruan Mei has such rich emotions that she can have such twisted thoughts.
"If she still doesn't respond after another day, I will go and knock on her laboratory door myself."
Looking at Sheshe's indescribable expression, Kong suddenly realized that if he really wanted to blow Ruan Mei out of the experiment, invite her to Taibusi or send her somewhere else, he would most likely need the cooperation of the Black Tower.
Just like if you just ask Bai Zhen to do something, Hei Zhen will smell the scent and come over to argue that she can do it better than the white one...
"The Grand Bu Mansion is going to be even more lively now, and Fu Xuan will have to spend some money..."
453. Lingsha: This Si Ding is really difficult
Although the planned full-scale attack was disrupted by the enemy's sudden withdrawal of defense, the tentative deployment would not be delayed.
Jing Yuan was a qualified wise general. Under his command, Luofu had launched many expeditions and achieved the goal of war at a very small cost. But the premise of "wisdom" was that he was still a general in charge of the life and death of soldiers. Many times, his lazy smile made people forget that he was able to make such "cold" decisions as sacrificing his own family for the sake of everyone.
According to him, he had already prepared to lure out the ambush with a small force in this feint attack. With so many variables mixed in with the divination, and insufficient knowledge of the situation under the Dan Ding Division, physical reconnaissance was the most primitive and effective.
…That being said, the 3,000 soldiers that were transferred to Sora were not discounted at all, fully staffed and fully equipped, and there was no intention for Sora to share the blame for sending human scouts with him—
It was probably because he met too many bad people when he was running around in the previous world, so Kong actually felt that this kind of responsibility that a commander should have... was really rare.
When leading troops to fight, in addition to the commander himself, the command team should also have a sufficient number of staff officers to stabilize the morale of the army. Three people is just the minimum size of the staff department that Kong is most accustomed to. When Ruan Mei is unable to provide advice, Yixian and Zhenhai have fought many ultra-modern wars, and the tactics of the ship girl when she was forced to fight on land are similar to those of the fairy boat, which is worth standing out - and the remaining spot is easier to determine.
"Jingliu, get ready to go——"
Sora just pressed down Hina who wanted to follow him and was about to call out "Lady on the Beam", but he saw Cocolia standing up beside the bored Mitsuki and walking towards him:
"Sora, let me go with you this time."
"No need for extra guards. I don't plan to go into battle myself this time. Luofu gave us so many soldiers, in addition to the fact that their command system was broken up once and there were not enough officers and soldiers, they were also worried that we would get hurt on the front line—"
"I'm not going to provide you with protection. I want to learn more about Luofu's tactics, especially the general's military tactics."
Mother Duck shook her head, indicating that Kong Nan was being too sentimental. "Bronya will lead the team to arrive in a day. Before that, she will need me to collect intelligence for her. This will facilitate the cooperation with the Cloud Riders, save our manpower, and prevent Beloberg from losing too many young blood..."
"...You think too much. Luo Fu will not send people from Bay City to the front line, and I will not allow that to happen. Jeppard and his men can only serve as auxiliary troops to maintain law and order on certain platforms."
"but……"
"Okay, I understand your request, and I agree in principle. This way there will be four of us - it shouldn't attract too much attention from Hengjing."
"...Thank you." Cocolia, who was prepared to be rejected, was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Kong was probably planning to take this opportunity to explain to her clearly how to inform Yaya about her activities in Luofu.
"I say, it's so boring to restrict people from traveling. If you help Luofu optimize the Golden Man production line, won't you be targeted by Hengjing? And your sister provided the Ten Kings Division with a secret recipe for Sui Yang. According to your argument, this is a dangerous act of putting a lot of chips on the scale, right?"
Lao Jiu held up her face with a bored look. She knew that Kong was being cautious because he was thinking about everyone, but wasn't the range in which she could move less comfortable than in Rhodes Island?
"Years, those are long-term investments, and it will take some time to see the results. Besides..."
Kong narrowed his eyes and said, "If the Xianzhou Alliance's plan goes ahead like this, it will be Fengzao who needs to be checked."
In the war with the Eighth Abundant Five, the Luxianzhou Alliance has always been at an advantage in terms of tactics, but at a disadvantage in terms of strategy. The long-term combat capability and population recovery speed of the Abundant monsters will definitely drag down the remaining six giant ships in the long run.
As long as it is known that the hunters have mastered the method of killing the pharmacist, crazy attacks will follow.
He didn't think the arbitrators would allow the ever-expanding plague of life in the universe to continue to devour limited resources, and the hunt was a pair of scissors that would cut off the extra branches.
Perhaps Luosha was successfully detained by Jingyuan, and it was also because of the efforts of the arbitrator that helped the train crew block some hidden arrows - the various strange phenomena collected by Black Swan proved that they were active.
During this trip to Luofu, Kong had already roughly felt out Hengjun's attitude towards him. Apart from increasing the energy level of the people directly involved, he could let go a lot of other things.
"After you roughly determine where those things are going, you can move freely. Nian, Hinata, wait for us for a while - that's it, Lao Yang, I still have to trouble you to look after the rear."
"I'm used to it, Captain."
There was a lot of helplessness in his tone, but Lao Yang had no complaints about the arrangement that Kong went out to play in the wild while he watched his child go to jail in the top lane:
"I'll send a message to Ji Zi right now, asking her to take the girls off the bus and gather at Taipusi as soon as possible—"
"...No need, Mr. Walter, just let Ms. Jizi park the car in the parking space of Taipusi."
Just as Kong was about to wave his hand, Fu Xuan flew in from the end of the Jade Gate facing the Taibu Mansion like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven, and stopped Lao Yang's announcement.
"Hmm? You allowed Akivali's creation to enter such an important place?"
㈨ "It's not the creation of Shouwenhuozu. The nearest connection point also has a stop similar to a platform - so that the Taibu Si can entertain the guests more and don't let the helmsman take all the credit."
⑷ Fu Xuan’s face looked a little tired, probably because he had a surprise meeting that lasted all night last night. But the moment he saw Kong, his face suddenly became smooth and his dark circles disappeared a lot.
That sour face and half-pursed mouth don't look happy at all.
The wetness on her toes last night... was seen by Yukong, and teased by Siduo. Because of this, she was thinking about Kong even during the meeting, and she kept blaming him in her heart for making her lose face in front of her colleagues.
It’s just that how much of it is real blame and how much of it is unspeakable sweetness cannot be told to outsiders.
㈢ "Are these two new anonymous passengers? It has been too much trouble for me to repeat everything about your new passengers these days. Please, Bo Shiduofei, explain the situation to them clearly."
㈢ "We have already mastered the basic intelligence. Master Taibu." Zhenhai looked at the angry Fu Xuan, and his eyes almost instantly dropped to the other's chest -
Ling Kelian Taibu had never been insulted by such a gaze from any other woman in Sora, so he snorted, "It's better this way."
wu【Commander... have you changed recently? How could you have the heart to kill a child like this? And that bodyguard lady - they are too... poor no matter how you look at them.】
[Don’t look at Fu Xuan like this, her actual age is about three times yours…]
「No, what I said has nothing to do with age either... You can’t let the expelled sisters know that you have no dietary restrictions now...」
【……really……】
He shuddered when he thought about the subsequent disaster that would be caused if the news of his relationship with Fu Xuan and a skinny girl like Heita were exposed to the port area.
"Let's talk about it on the way, Doctor. Please relax a little bit--"
Fu Xuan didn't care about Kong's sudden trembling expression, thinking that this man finally felt uncomfortable with his unruly little hobby. He hummed with satisfaction, and with his slender hands, the five people including Cocolia were lifted up by the force field of Qiongguan and flew towards the Jade Realm Gate.
This ability does not require riding the Star Raft, and can only be used in the area where the Jade Omen's energy is most concentrated, which makes her look very cool.
"Fu Xuan...you came back just to pick us up?"
"...No, I also asked a troubled woman to ask you to do something for me. Hmm, why is it a bit heavy?"
As soon as Kong heard it, he knew that Zhenhai was playing tricks on Fu Xuan... Even though the girls all followed her lightly all the way to Changletian, as long as the ship girl had the slightest intention of releasing her ship equipment to cause trouble for Taibu, her Dharma Eye would instantly overload——
Kong repeatedly signaled to Zhenhai not to use the same tricks that he had used to torture himself on Fu Xuan, and received an ambiguous smile in return.
【镇海只是想给她个教训，让她不要对指挥官这ｓｏｕＳｕo：9＇＇4＇≈824ˇ3“3＄◎05么无礼——】
[We're just a little short of sleeping with each other - just tsundere, like the female general and Hipper. ]
[Oh? That's an interesting 'adult'. ]
Telling Zhenhai not to rush to find a way out for himself, Kong didn't know whether he should lament that he was too popular with women - why was it that another woman came to beg him.
Did Luo Fu know that he couldn't refuse a girl's request? But if Yan Qing or Ren asked him for help, he would agree to it according to the circumstances. There was no gender discrimination in this regard.
"Do you remember the new Si Ding at the Six Imperial Meeting? It was her, Ling Sha. The previous Si Ding had resigned a long time ago, and she was only temporarily placed in the position yesterday. Well, although she was assigned to the post on the front line, she was not completely forced to do so."
"figure?"
"After Master Long was imprisoned, there are few people in the Chiming clan who can have a say in the general. Bai Lu is still too young to be in charge of the important affairs of Si Ding, so we can only let her take over first - although she is a troublesome woman... at least she is a troublesome woman with great talent and ideas."
Being praised by Fu Xuan, I think that the "young" Chiming girl who laughed quite sadly yesterday must have thought of a way to solve the current dilemma with his help.
"She asked me to give you a heads-up, Doctor. She wants to see someone who is very close to you, but she wants your permission first."
"Who?"
Want to meet Estelle?
"Another Envoy of Plenty - the doctor who was glanced at by the Ancestor of Misfortune at almost the same time in the hexagram."
After Fu Xuan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Bakong, but unexpectedly saw that Bakong's expression was even more solemn than when he was fighting, as if he was quite disgusted with this request.
"...I know Luo Fu must have his own information channels to locate Natasha, but it should be inconvenient for her to appear in your field of vision..."
Talking about the woman who had an ambiguous relationship with him but finally insisted on being herself and pursuing academic and medical ethics, Kong really didn't want to drag her into Luofu's whirlpool.
Besides the fact that she didn't have enough power and might not be as safe as Banya if she went to Luofu, the young bud of blessing in her body was still in the growth stage. To put it in a funny and hellish way - Kong was even afraid that Si Ding had tricked her into coming here to make an elixir...
……
In front of the army formation that was chaotic in public but orderly in secret, Si Ding took the opportunity before the military parade began and stopped in front of the tent. He bowed slightly to Kong and his party, but was rewarded with the latter's impatient expression and Fu Xuan's no longer domineering, but even a little cautious and weird gaze.
"PhD--"
