For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 74 Desperate

"So, I think we should continue to advance towards Winter Springs and eradicate the two alien beasts that are merging."

"I have an objection."

In the combat conference room of the central defense line, a group of commanders were standing around the sand table.

The two who are speaking now are Shane and Mendes.

Hearing Mendes' objections, the atmosphere in the entire combat conference room was not only a little tense, but even a little weird.

As we all know, Mendes has the deepest hatred and hatred for the two alien beasts in the ruins of Winterspring City. If given the chance, he would even wish to tear the bodies of these two alien beasts to pieces.

These are his original words.

But right now, it was Mendes who expressed a conservative attitude and disagreed with the advance of the defenders on the defense line to Winter Springs.

Hearing Mendes' statement, Shane took a slight breath, then looked at Mendes calmly, "May I know the reason?"

"Of course." Mendes nodded immediately, and without hesitation, he planted a flag in front of the defense line on the sand table, "Xia En, I just want to ask a question... If we want to move forward, even if we just enter The ruins of Winterspring...how much do we have to pay?"

"This is completely different from the long-distance raids of the previous capable team. Every step we take is a step closer to the enemy's lair and a step further away from our support."

"If the ability user team can't do it, how many soldiers' lives will it take to fill our front line advancing to Winter Springs?"

Mendez spoke bluntly, even nakedly.

But Shane knew exactly what he was thinking.

It was precisely because of his hatred for the Frost Banshee and the Windcaller that Mendes personally formed this line of defense against Winterspring, and also made him the person who knew these two beasts best.

He knew this line of defense too well, these two beasts too well, and he knew too well what a huge price he would have to pay to advance to the front line.

He didn't back down, let alone give up his hatred.

On the contrary, if it was said that he wanted to use Winter Springs to test Xia En before, and perhaps there was some sense of personal hatred, then now, he has actually fully approved of Xia En, and he has put the rebel army above hatred.

It is not an easy thing to give up the opportunity to drive the soldiers to avenge him.

It was only because he believed that the rebel army was more important and the lives of the soldiers were more important that he raised objections and disagreed with continuing to advance the front line.

Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help chuckling.

Some are inexplicable and frivolous, but it makes the commanders in the combat conference room relax.

Because the current Xia En, in the eyes of these commanders, has already saved their lives once, is also a "gunner" who has already been verified, and is also the "savior" they are secretly looking forward to but cannot really verify.

If such a person can still laugh...

So, maybe he really has a way?

They waited in apprehension, and they also looked forward to it in apprehension.

"Shawn, what's so funny about my words?" Mendes looked at Shane seriously, without anger or any other superfluous emotions.

He believed in Sean, and believed that he would not do anything frivolous in these matters.

"Mendez... How about this, I have a few questions, if you can answer them, I will give up the idea, how about it?" Sean continued to propose with a smile.

Mendes nodded slowly and didn't say much.

"Where's Irene? What do you think?" Xia En looked at the girl beside her.

After two battles and several hours of buffering, Irene's attitude towards him seemed to have softened, but it was still limited.

"I... am more supportive of advancing the front line, but the words of Elder Mendes cannot be ignored." After thinking for a while, the girl calmly said, "I want to make a decision after listening to the questions."

Erin is also thinking about herself...

I hope she can continue on this road and throw aside the little Irene who only obeyed orders before.

Although in that case, it will be much more difficult to bully her...

Xia En smiled and nodded, "Okay, then, the first question."

"If the fusion of the two alien beasts is completed, what should happen to the defense line of Winter Spring? Continue to hold on, or abandon it?"

The commanders who thought that Mendez would answer "keep holding on" unexpectedly did not hear his answer.

"If we continue to hold on, is the troop we brought this time enough, and will we still need to draw manpower from the camp?" Xia En's question was like a cannonball, "If we continue to draw manpower, how much do we need to draw, and will the camp be empty? "

Mendes still didn't answer.

"If the defense line is still unable to hold up after the deployment of manpower... You know, this is a high probability thing. If it can't hold up, how should the troops here evacuate? Who should be arranged to break up and who should be arranged to evacuate?"

"Is it a mortal situation to stay here?"

"If you just abandon the defense, how many troops do you need to leave now? How many troops can survive? Does the camp need to be relocated?"

Each question, like a heavy hammer, hit not only Mendez's heart, but also the hearts of all the commanders present.

They knew the situation was grim, but the joy of taking back the defense briefly diluted these tensions.

And Xia En raised these questions one by one, and patted them in front of everyone, making them have to face them, but they couldn't answer them.

After a long time, Mendes finally said, "Then, Shane, what do you mean...we want to use the lives of soldiers to advance this front?"

"Out of this line of defense, we will no longer have the protection of the spiritual protection device."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if after considering all the possibilities, he realized that he still had to face a miserable future.

"Ha, Mendez, and all the commanders, where do you think I am?" Shane laughed for a while, "Of course I have a way to reduce the casualties of soldiers, and even let the spiritual protection device still protect us. "

There was a moment of silence in the combat conference room.

"However, it also means that we must put all our eggs in one basket and there is no way out."

After a long time, someone spoke again.

But this time, it was Irene who asked, "Xia En, what do you want...to do?"

"It's very simple. Starting from both sides of the Winter Springs defense line, remove the installed spiritual protection devices one by one, and then use the method of soil work to dig into the trenches, advance to Winter Springs, and reinstall the spiritual protection devices in the new trenches. "

"That way, as the earthwork progresses, we can have a line of defense that is vertical rather than horizontal to Winter Springs."

"Only in this way can we go straight to Wintersprings."

"However, it also means the complete abandonment of Winterspring's defense line." Xia En took a light breath, "That's why I said that this is a desperate attempt, and there is no way out."
