Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1039 Word Game
After a while, the thick fog in front of him dissipated, and a huge light gate slowly formed inside. Jiang Huan returned to the cabin and directed the team to slowly pass through the light gate.

Everyone returned to the valley again. On the Fengling boat, many escaping lights came, and the teams gathered one after another. They lined up and stood outside the hatch. Tangning and other members of the elite team also formed a team, located in the whole boat. The center of the team.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the hatch opened, and a group of people inside strode out. The leaders were the three senior leaders of the alliance, Jiang Huan, Chen Ying, and Tian Jian'an, except that Hua Rong was missing.

Tian Jian'an looked pale, as if injured.

Jiang Huan said loudly: "It is up to you all to repel the rebels in this battle. I will declare the meritorious rewards to the coalition army for each meritorious service. However, the rebels have not been completely wiped out. At this moment, there are still elite rebel monks in the formation We are breaking the formation and trying to eat us in one bite, everyone must not slack off and relax our vigilance."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

"Each team will count the number of casualties and report it immediately."

"Senior, a total of [-] people from the first brigade were missing and [-] people were injured."

"Fifteen people are missing from the third brigade and ten people are injured."

.........

"Have all the injured monks been settled properly?"

"Senior, a total of seventy-two injured monks have been placed in Yuanling Ship."

"Taking advantage of the fact that the rebels are retreating and there is no encirclement, immediately send a small team to transport the injured monks to Hualong City."

"Yes."

"All the brigades made a file of the casualties, clarified the identity and position of each person, and sent it to the meeting hall together with the gains of each person."

.........

Jiang Huan arranged various matters one after another, leaving Tian Jian'an to sit here and lead most of the troops.

He left here with Chen Ying and more than a dozen monks from the elite team, and came to the meeting hall.

The alliance selected [-] Nascent Soul monks from the outstanding strength of each team, and now there are only thirteen monks left in the hall.

In addition to one person being captured alive when they harassed the rebels and broke the formation, six people were also killed and injured in this head-on confrontation.

Everyone went back to the main hall, and a man from the outside strode in, it was the disciple Meng Xuan who was in charge of the formation, and his Jishou saluted and said: "Senior Jiang, Senior Xun Xun sent me to report to you the progress of the rebel army breaking the formation. "

"Well, I'm about to send someone to pass you on, how is it? How far has the rebel army broken the formation?"

"There are five positions in the formation, and they have identified three. Although the juniors and senior Xun are using the formation to attack, the effect is not satisfactory. The rebels are still methodically searching for loopholes in the formation."

Chen Ying murmured: "We have only been out for an hour, and they have already determined three positions. Calculated according to the time, after three quarters of an hour, they will be able to break through the formation, is that so?"

"Through the three positions they have found, they can lock the approximate position of the remaining two positions. It will not take that long. If there is no obstruction, with their current progress, they can find all five positions in less than half an hour. Stand up."

Jiang Huan said: "You know more about formations than we do, so don't beat around the bush, just talk about it! How long can this formation last?"

"If all five formations are found, with the ability of the cultivator who transforms the spirit, we can hold on for a quarter of an hour at most. From now on, we have at most one hour. If the opponent's methods are fierce, we can break the formation in half an hour."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall became more solemn and dignified. Jiang Huan said, "Do you have any suggestions? Or is there any way to delay a little longer."

Meng Xuan shook his head and said: "We have used all the means. Although they can threaten them, they can't cause substantial damage. If we want to delay the time for them to break the formation, only a few seniors will enter the formation to stop them."

Before Jiang Huan could answer, Chen Ying frowned and said, "Your Daoist Hua was unfortunately killed, and Fellow Daoist Tian was slightly injured. Fellow Daoist Xun wants to control the formation. Now the only ones in the headquarters who can stop them are me and Daoist Jiang. We fought against the rebels before, and we The spiritual power of the two has been consumed a lot, and they have not recovered yet, not to mention that the rebel army has a total of six cultivators who have turned into gods, even if we enter the battle, we may not be able to stop them."

Meng Xuan said: "Senior and others are the ones who decide how to choose. The junior is just offering advice. If you want to stop the enemy, the senior can launch an attack when he breaks the formation. At that time, he needs to divide his troops into five positions to attack. The best chance to break one by one."

"I see, let's go!" Jiang Huan waved his hand.

"Farewell, junior." Meng Xuan responded and left.

"You have heard that the current situation is still very serious for us. This formation can last at least half an hour. Although the rebels retreat temporarily, they will surely make a comeback soon. When the formation is broken, they will It's a flat river. We need to do everything possible to delay their breakout."

Just as Jiang Huan finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside, Tian Jianan strode in, and took out a stack of files in his hand.

"Jiang Daoyou, this is the specific casualty list of each team and the situation of each person's gains, please take a look."

Jiang Huan took the file and looked at it for a while, then put it aside: "Tian Daoyou came just in time, just now Meng Xuan from the banner team came and told us about the situation of the rebels in the formation, so far they have determined the positions of three positions, With their progress, they can break through the formation in half an hour at the fastest."

"So fast?" Tian Jian'an frowned deeply after hearing this.

"Most of the rebel army's high-level combat power has already entered the formation, and it is difficult to cause actual damage to them based on the attack effect of the formation. What's more, there are monks who are proficient in formations in the rebel army. It is too late to delay it for so long That’s right, the problem is that if we don’t take any action, the formation will be breached.”

"What is Daoist Jiang going to do?"

"I have no choice but to attack and delay them."

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell into silence, Tian Jian'an did not answer, Chen Ying frowned even tighter.

"What do fellow Daoist Chen think?" After a while, Tian Jian'an opened his mouth. Instead of answering Jiang Huan directly, he asked about Chen Ying's attitude, obviously not supporting Jiang Huan's strategy of entering the battle against the enemy.

Chen Ying said in a low voice, "Our side had a battle with the rebels, and our spiritual power loss has not been recovered. What's more, Tian Daoyou was injured again. Compared with their high-level combat power, the number is far insufficient, and the chances of winning in a head-to-head confrontation are too small What's more, it will take a day for the reinforcements to arrive. Even if we enter the battle to fight with them, even if we can delay for a while, we will definitely not be able to support the arrival of the reinforcements. I think it is better to save the remaining strength to break through to reduce casualties."

"What Chen Daoyou said is not unreasonable. Although we killed and retreated the rebel alliance just now, we did not defeat it in one fell swoop. The opponent will soon regroup and make a comeback. With our current strength, it is difficult to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. , Why don’t we take advantage of the fact that the rebels are retreating now and simply abandon the formation and leave, we fought with the rebels and gained a lot, so we did our best.”

Jiang Huan said slowly: "If we retreat at this time, wouldn't all the efforts we have made before be in vain? Thanks to your hard work, we finally killed most of the rebels, and now we can free up our hands to deal with them. How can the elite rebels rushing into the formation be wasted?"

"The column asked me to wait for at least one day. Now that our casualties are less than [-]%, and the elite team is still there, we hurriedly evacuated in less than half a day. How can we explain to the column?"

Tian Jian'an glanced at Chen Ying, saw that he was frowning and remained silent, so he said, "Your Jiang Daoyou led his troops to attack the rebels several times before, and we all saw it. Jiang Daoyou did his best to stop the rebels. There was just a big battle above, and the total casualties of the rebel army were only a lot more than ours. Jiang Daoyou led half the regiment of troops against the entire regiment of the rebel army, and the casualties were similar, which is already a very good result."

"If the coalition forces are to blame, I am willing to bear the consequences together with fellow Taoists. It is not because I am unwilling to do my best, but reinforcements are far away, and we simply cannot hold out for such a long time."

Hearing this, Jiang Huan pondered for a while, then looked at Chen Ying: "Fellow Daoist Chen, what's your opinion?"

Chen Ying said: "If the alliance blames the blame, Chen, like fellow Daoist Tian, ​​is willing to bear the punishment together with fellow Daoist Jiang for this matter."

"Since the two fellow daoists insist on this, then fine! But before retreating, we have to report to the camp through the sound transmission array, otherwise there is no way to explain."

"That's natural. Since we made the decision together, we'll report it to Daying together." Tian Jian'an echoed.

"You wait here first. Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​Fellow Daoist Chen, let's go! First go to the altar and say hello to Fellow Daoist Xun, and ask him for advice." Jiang Huan got up and went out, Chen Ying and Tian Jian'an followed him Behind them, the three of them left the meeting hall and disappeared.

Tang Ning listened to the conversation between the three below, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart. What the three of them said just now could be said to be a hidden needle, showing the truth of their conspiracy.

Chen Ying and Tian Jian'an were obviously unwilling to enter the battle to fight the enemy again, because their cultivation bases were relatively weak.

Among them, Tian Jian'an was the most resolute in his opposition. He suffered some minor injuries in the previous battle with the rebels. Although it was not too serious, it would definitely affect his combat effectiveness. It's hard to say how sure you can get out of it.

On the other hand, on the surface, Jiang Huan supported entering the battle to fight the enemy, trying to delay the opportunity for the rebels to break the formation. In his words, he also tried to persuade the two to join the battle to fight against the enemy, but in fact his attitude was not so firm.

He even said that his true thoughts were the same as those of Chen Ying and Tian Jian'an, but he had to make this statement because of his status as the team commander.

If he retreats first, he will definitely be blamed by the coalition forces for punishment in the future. After all, no one can guarantee that the coalition forces will not punish the parties due to the defeat on the front line.

Therefore, when Tian Jian'an said that he was willing to bear the responsibility together, his attitude immediately wavered, but he did not change his words immediately, but asked Chen Ying for his opinion, and even went to see Xun Xun when he was about to report at the end.

Naturally, the purpose was to bring more people into the water. If the alliance wanted to punish them in the future, it could be excused by the excuse that this was a unanimous decision made by all the managers of the alliance and that they had to compromise.

Tang Ning could see what Jiang Huan was thinking. It was impossible for Chen Ying and Tian Jian'an to fail to understand. Everyone knew each other well, but their words were secretive.

Now that the rebel army is approaching the city, at the time of life and death, everyone is in the same boat, shared the glory and death, and fought side by side. However, when it comes to specific interests, and about punishment after the event, they are still unwilling to openly express their feelings. They are still playing This kind of word game surrounded by clouds and mountains and mists.

I have to say it was very sad and boring.
