The Witch's Taste

Chapter 387 The reaction of the two witches

Without even a moment to question Xia Qingyu, the person who immediately rushed to the bridge to attend the high-level meeting was Chen Ziang.

There is no way, she has clearly said "I don't like you", it would be too ugly to forcefully break up with her.

However, Chen Ziang breathed a sigh of relief. At least Xia Qingyu was willing to tell the truth to him, instead of continuing to use her sarcastic Tai Chi style to get around.

The content of today's high-level meeting is very simple, which is to decide whether the Forever should jump and run away immediately.

Before the Federation's vanguard was defeated, relevant information must have been transmitted through the long-range starlink.

In other words, there must be many fleets in the Federation at this time. After receiving the news, they are jumping to the ruined galaxy, and among them there must be "space anchor ships" that prevent the jump. Once these things get mixed up in the sea of ​​fleets and get close enough, Within this time, the Forever will lose its ability to jump, and its fate and outcome will naturally be self-evident.

"We must launch the jump as soon as possible." Tsukimiya Suzuna said, "Once the position is exposed, we must move as soon as possible. No matter how late it is, we will not be able to leave."

"But the energy collected so far is not enough." Xia Zili habitually expressed dissent. "Even if you force a jump, first of all, you will not be able to make a long-distance jump out of the federal territory. Secondly, you will fall into a state of complete depletion of energy reserves after arriving at the destination. If you reach the enemy, you will only be beaten."

Although it was expected in advance, the lack of antimatter energy on the ruined planet was beyond everyone's expectations.After a large-scale search activity, only two and a half warehouses of energy were collected through patchwork. Coupled with the salvage of the wreckage after defeating the first wave of the Federation fleet, only five and a half warehouses of energy were obtained.

Therefore, there are only two options before everyone: one is to jump immediately, betting that the galaxy where they will settle can immediately find more energy; the disadvantage is that if there is no energy, the starship will be paralyzed.

The second is to stay in place and continue to carry out planetary surface search activities. Of course, you can also try to attack the incoming second wave of federal fleets and use the enemy's assets for your own use; the disadvantage is that if it is not the second wave of fleets that come, but the second, third, and fourth waves, After five or six waves of fleets, the starship humans will become turtles in a urn.

No matter what the situation is, as long as the federal fleet is stuck and unable to escape, the only outcome is the annihilation of the entire army.

Because of the existence of the curser, the witch has no way to fight back wantonly, and it is impossible to protect the starship for a long time, waiting for the Elf Temple to find more ways to restrain the witch's power, so the end result is to abandon the starship and humans and Chen Ziang escape together.

But in that case, all the hard work along the way will be completely wasted.

Xia Qingyu did not attend this meeting.Chen Ziang pondered for a long time and asked:
"With the current energy, if we want to make a jump, which galaxies can be used as destinations?"

"Not many." Xia Zili replied, "Except for those with complete star ports, there are actually only three options."

Why remove galaxies with complete starports?Because whenever a galaxy has a star port, a large number of land-based anti-orbital weapons will definitely be deployed on the surface of the planet to prevent the star port from rebelling...and these anti-orbital weapons will seriously hinder any large-scale operations of starship humans.

It's not that you can't beat it, but you can't waste so much time on it.

"But it is very likely that the energy we need will be found in these three galaxies..." Tsukimiya Suzuna was about to continue persuading, but was suddenly interrupted by Chen Ziang.

"According to your assumption." He analyzed calmly, "We have these three options. Do the federal elves know?"

Tsukimiya Suzuna blinked and quickly understood.

What the starship's human high-ups can analyze, of course there are so many think tank experts in the Federation without smart guys.At this moment, apart from the Federation fleet that is jumping to the ruined galaxy, there must also be many elven fleets jumping towards those three galaxies in order to block the next step of the starship humans.

War is like a chess game. When your moves are within the opponent's expectations, you are not far from defeat.

"In that case, let's jump to other targets." Tsukimiya Suzuna refused to give up, "No matter where we go, it is better than staying here."

"Then where are we going?" Chen Ziang asked her.

"Precisely...just because we don't know where we are going, it is even more impossible for the Federation to know, isn't it?" Suzuna Tsukimiya had an idea.

"You are right, but if you continue to search here, the risk is not that great." Chen Ziang said calmly, "What we are most worried about is that the next wave of federal fleets arriving is too powerful and drags us into the quagmire of war. Here, right?"

"That's right." Xia Zili sighed.

"Actually, we can change our thinking." Chen Zi'ang continued, "If the Witch does not take the initiative to attack the incoming fleet, but paralyzes them, such as only attacking the engine room or destroying the propulsion nozzle, etc., then let the fleet destroy it Enemy ship, then if there is a curser in the target fleet, who will bear the curse?"

"It will be borne by the entire crew of the Instant Fleet!" Xia Zili's eyes lit up.

This is the memetic loophole that exploits the curse: Anyone who harms me will be punished, so who is this "harmer"?Of course he was the one who delivered the final fatal blow.

Otherwise, if "the person who harms me" is understood as "the person who harms me", then the directionality of the meme will be very confusing.For example, if I have a stomachache after eating unclean food, then the workers in the food factory will become "harmers"; if I breathe car exhaust outside, it will affect my health, and everyone from drivers to car manufacturers will be selected by the meme. This The curse would immediately be dispersed to the point where it would have no effect at all.

Because of this, the Witches can exploit the loopholes in a targeted manner and do all other things, except that the final touch-up is done by the Fleet of Instants.

With hundreds of thousands of sailors on board, how many cursers would it take to fill them?Curse all you want!

Tsukimiya Suzuna and Xia Zili also suddenly realized.It's not that they are unintelligent, it's just that they are trapped in the thinking of their previous lives and are used to directly using excessive force to solve problems, so their brains are not so flexible.As for the other attendees, they didn’t even know what the curse was—you couldn’t try to understand it, otherwise you would have to increase your spiritual vision.

"And just in case, I hope that at least two witches will act together." Chen Ziang continued, "If one of the witches accidentally destroys the ship, or is cursed for any other reason, its strength will be weakened. If so, at least another person can save her."

Xia Zili and Yuegong Suzuna looked at each other.What he said is indeed reasonable, but it is difficult to implement.

Even if you agree well now, when you see your love rival in danger, who can guarantee that you will not stand by and watch?Or if you accidentally fall into a desperate situation, how can you trust that the other party will lend a helping hand in time?
The fundamental reason why the two witches can live in harmony at this time is not based on trust between the two parties, or the need to protect the common man... It's just that they can't do anything to each other.

But if this balance of power is broken, the consequences will be difficult to predict. "I know this may be a bit difficult for you." Chen Ziang continued, "So I have a suggestion: let Qingyu be responsible for the attack, and Zili will cover her."

Everyone immediately understood: Xia Zili and Tsukimiya Suzuna dislike each other. This is not a secret among the top management, and the reason is obvious anyway; Xia Qingyu and Tsukimiya Suzuna also have a grudge. Although everyone does not know the reason, they probably It is understood as hating the house and the bird.

But Xia Qingyu and Xia Zili are two sisters. If the elder sister is in danger, the younger sister will definitely not stand idly by - in the final analysis, Xia Qingyu today has not really participated in the fight for men, so the relationship with Xia Zili is still very harmonious.

"But..." Xia Zili resisted.Although she had to admit the feasibility of it, she didn't want to leave Yuegong Suzuna and Chen Ziang alone.

"Suzuna, you are responsible for continuing to lead the team to sweep the planet's surface." Chen Ziang continued, "Your ability is very mobile, so I hope you can search every suspicious corner as much as possible and not miss any resources."

"That's not possible!" Tsukimiya Suzuna shouted anxiously, "I have to stay with senior, otherwise what if..."

"There is no chance." Chen Ziang replied, "I will leave the real world."

The two witches were startled again.

And this trick?

That's right, Chen Ziang's idea is very simple, just run to the inside of the Mandala Sword to hide.

Whether it is the dream world, the dying realm, or other abyss planes, it cannot be said that there is no risk at all, but only the inside of the Mandala Magic Sword cannot enter this place without the Magic Sword, so it can become an absolutely safe place. of refuge.

As long as he makes an appointment with everyone at the time to come out, and then teleport into the Mandala Sword.Let alone empire killers, even if the empire hires lower-level races, they may not be able to find them in this space.

In this way, Tsukimiya Suzuna's combat power can also be liberated.

The whole plan was interconnected, and everyone thought about it carefully for a long time, but they didn't come up with any problems.If I have to say it, there will be no high-level officials on the Forever during this period, so it will be troublesome if someone causes sabotage.

But considering that Suzuna Tsukinomiya is on the surface of the planet, even if something happens, she can fly back to the Eternal from the surface in time, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

So the follow-up plan was set.After the meeting, Xia Zili found Chen Ziang and asked:
"What did you and your sister talk about?"

"It's nothing." Chen Ziang said easily, "The previous attacks and explosions were not arranged by her."

"I'll just say it." Xia Zili breathed a sigh of relief.

Suzuna Tsukinomiya, who was watching, was not convinced and slandered Chen Ziang:
"Senior, don't believe her words too much. You must know that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving..."

"She also said that she actually doesn't like me. The reason why she helped me along the way was because she had another purpose." Chen Ziang continued.

"...But there are some words that we can use reason to judge the authenticity of." Tsukimiya Suzuna quickly changed her words and pretended to think, "Well, it seems that she understands that she is not worthy of senior, and she is self-aware. I think it is okay. believe."

After learning that Xia Qingyu had personally assured Chen Ziang, her hostility was relatively reduced.

If Xia Zili and she were still racing on the same track, then Xia Qingyu had turned around and gone backwards.Although Tsukimiya Suzuna still hates her, she cannot unconscionably lie to herself that such a person is still her opponent.

If nothing else, saying this to your senior is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of developing a romantic relationship with him.Even if you regret it in the future, you should ask your seniors if they are willing to accept it!

very good!I have asked for one of the enemy generals!
The more Tsukimiya Suzuna thought about it, the happier she became. She looked at Xia Zili with a complicated expression and couldn't help but feel proud in her heart.

Xia Zili, what do you think?Didn’t you still swear by it before?Your sister has now admitted that she doesn't like senpai...Eh, wait a minute?
If Xia Qingyu gave up developing a relationship with her predecessors in this life, whether out of guilt, self-blame, or obsession with power and ambition, wouldn't it mean that she would no longer compete with Xia Zili?

In this way, wouldn't the hidden dangers and rifts between sisters disappear?

In other words, Xia Qingyu can support Xia Zili unreservedly and compete with me for seniority?
Thinking of this, Tsukimiya Suzuna's joy suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, and she suddenly became stunned.

However, Xia Zili does not have her rich association ability.

She didn't believe that her sister really had no feelings for Chen Ziang, she just didn't know why her sister would say that on purpose.

In the previous life, when did I know that my sister secretly loved her husband?
It was after he died.

After realizing that the Federation was about to start purging the human residents in the territory, Chen Ziang ran to the Imperial Embassy but asked for help. As a result, the embassy was attacked that day.

After Xia Zili received the news and rushed to the scene, all she saw was the devastated ruins and Xia Qingyu lying on the edge of the ruins.

From that day on, Xia Zili lost two of the most important people in her life at the same time.

her husband.

and her sister.
