Chronicles of Celestial Origins

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

Everyone returned to the valley again. On the Wind Spirit ship, many escaping lights came towards them. Teams gathered one after another and stood neatly outside the cabin door. Tangning and other members of the elite team also formed a team, located on the entire ship. The center of the line.

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

Tian Jianan looked pale and seemed to be injured.

Jiang Huan said loudly: "Repelling the rebels in this battle depends entirely on your lives. For those who have made contributions, I will declare merit rewards to the coalition forces. However, the rebels have not been completely eliminated. There are still elite rebel monks in the formation at this moment. They are trying to break the formation and try to eat us in one bite. Please don’t let down your guard.”

"Yes." Everyone responded.

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

"Senior, a total of seventeen people from the First Brigade are missing and twenty injured."

"Fifteen people from the Third Brigade are missing and ten injured."

………

"Have the injured monks been properly placed?"

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

"While the rebels are retreating and there is no encirclement, immediately send a small team to transport these injured monks to Hualong City."

"yes."

"Each brigade will make a file of the casualties, clarify the identity and position of each person, and send them to the meeting hall together with each person's gains."

………

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

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

The alliance selected twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from among the outstanding candidates from each brigade, and now there are only thirteen people left in the hall.

In addition to one person who was captured alive when he harassed the rebels to break the formation, six people were killed or injured in this head-on confrontation.

As everyone was returning to the main hall, a man strode in from outside. It was Meng Xuan, the disciple in charge of the formation. He saluted and said: "Senior Jiang, Senior Xun Xun sent me to report to you on the progress of the rebels breaking the formation. "

"Well, I'm about to send someone to call you. How about it? How far have the rebels broken the formation?"

"They have identified three of the five positions of the formation. Although junior and senior Xun are using the formation to attack, the effect is not ideal. The rebels are still exploring loopholes in the formation in an orderly manner."

Chen Ying pondered: "We have only been out for an hour, and they have already determined three formations. Calculated by time, they will be able to break through the formation in three quarters of an hour, is that right?"

"By finding the three positions, they can locate the approximate positions of the remaining two positions. It won't take that long. If there is no obstruction, with their current progress, they can find all five positions in less than half an hour. "Be in a good position."

Jiang Huan said: "You know more about formations than we do, so there's no need to beat around the bush, just say it directly! How long can this formation last?"

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

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall became more solemn and solemn. Jiang Huan said: "Do you have any suggestions? Or is there any way to delay it for more time."

Meng Xuan shook his head and said: "We have used all methods. Although it can pose a threat to them, it cannot cause substantial harm. If we want to delay the time for them to break the formation, only a few seniors can enter the formation to stop them."

Before Jiang Huan could answer, Chen Ying frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Hua was unfortunately killed, and Daoist Tian was slightly injured. Daoist Xun wants to control the formation. Now the only people in our department who can enter the formation to stop them are Daoyou Jiang and I. We fought with the rebels before, and I The two have lost a lot of spiritual power and have not yet recovered. What's more, the rebels have six god-transforming monks. Even if we join the battle, we may not be able to stop them."

Meng Xuan said: "The decision is naturally made by the seniors and others. The juniors only provide suggestions. If you want to stop the enemy, the seniors can launch an attack when they break the formation. At that time, they need to divide their troops into five positions to attack. That's right. The best chance to defeat them one by one.”

"I understand, go ahead!" Jiang Huan waved his hand.

"Junior, take your leave." Meng Xuan responded and left.

"You have all heard that the situation is still very serious for us now. This formation can last for more than half an hour at most. Although the rebels have retreated temporarily, they will surely come back soon. Once the formation is broken, they will It’s a smooth battle. We have to do everything we can to delay them from breaking the formation.”

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

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is the specific casualty list of each team and the results of each team. Please take a look."

Jiang Huan took the file and read it for a while, then put it aside: "Fellow Daoist Tian came just in time. Just now Meng Xuan from the flag team came and told us about the situation of the rebels in the formation. At present, they have determined the positions of three positions. Based on their progress, they can break the formation in half an hour at the earliest.”

"So fast?" Tian Jianan frowned deeply after hearing this.

"Most of the high-level combat forces of the rebels have already entered the formation. It is difficult to cause actual damage to them just by the attack effect of the formation. What's more, there are already god-transforming monks who are proficient in formations among the rebels. It has been delayed for so long. That’s right, the problem is that if we don’t take any action, the formation will be breached.”

"What are you going to do, Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

"We have no choice but to join the attack and delay them."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into silence. Tian Jianan did not answer, and Chen Ying frowned even more tightly.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Chen?" After a while, Tian Jian'an spoke. He did not answer Jiang Huan directly, but asked about Chen Ying's attitude. He obviously did not support Jiang Huan's strategy of entering the battle to fight the enemy.

Chen Ying's voice was low: "We fought with the rebels, and our spiritual power has not been recovered. What's more, fellow Taoist Tian was injured again. Compared with their high-level combat power, the number of people is far insufficient, and the chance of winning in a head-on confrontation is too small. . Besides, the reinforcements will not arrive until a day later. Even if we join the battle and fight with them, even if we can delay it for a while, we will definitely not be able to sustain the reinforcements. I think it is better to leave the force to break through to reduce casualties. "

"What Mr. Chen Daoyou said is not unreasonable. Although we have just driven back the rebel group, we did not defeat it in one fell swoop. The opponent can quickly regroup and make a comeback. With our current strength, it will be difficult to hold on until reinforcements arrive. , it is better to abandon the formation and leave while the rebels are retreating. We fought with the rebels and gained a lot, which is considered to be our best effort. "

Jiang Huan said slowly: "If we retreat now, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain? Thanks to your hard work, we have managed to kill most of the rebels, and now we can free up our hands to deal with them." How can the elite rebels swarming into the formation be in vain?"

"The column asked me to wait for at least one day, but now we have less than 30% casualties 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 and saw that he was frowning and silent, so he said, "We all saw that Jiang Daoyou led his troops to attack the rebels several times before. Jiang Daoyou tried his best to stop the rebels. There was just a big battle, and the total casualties of the rebels were only a lot more than ours. Daoyou Jiang led half a regiment against an entire regiment of rebels, and it was a very good result to achieve similar casualties. "

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

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

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

"Since the two fellow Taoists insist on this, fine! But before retreating, we must first inform the camp through the sound transmission array, otherwise we will not be able to explain."

"This is natural. Since it is a decision we made together, we can just go and report it to Daying together." Tian Jianan agreed.

"You wait here for now. Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​Fellow Daoist Chen, let's go! First go to the formation altar to say hello to Fellow Daoist Xun and ask for his advice." Jiang Huan stood up and walked out, followed by Chen Ying and Tian Jian'an. Behind them, the three people left the meeting hall and disappeared into light.

Tang Ning was listening to the conversation between the three people below, and she felt a lot of emotions in her heart. What the three people just said was a hidden secret, showing the true nature of the intrigue.

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

Among them, Tian Jian'an's opposition was the most determined. He had suffered some minor injuries in the previous battle with the rebels. Although it was not too critical, it would definitely affect his combat effectiveness. If he entered the battle again and encountered a strong enemy, It's hard to say how sure you can escape unscathed.

On the other hand, Jiang Huan ostensibly supported entering the formation to fight the enemy in order to delay the rebels' opportunity to break the formation. In his words, he also encouraged the two of them to join the formation and fight against the enemy. However, in fact, his attitude was not so firm.

He even said that his true thoughts in his heart were the same as those of Chen Ying and Tian Jianan, but due to his status as the team leader, he had to make this statement.

If he was the first to retreat, he would definitely be blamed when the coalition punished him in the future. After all, no one could guarantee that the coalition would not punish the person involved for the frontline failure.

Therefore, when Tian Jianan said that he was willing to share the responsibility for the crime, his attitude immediately wavered. However, he did not immediately change his mind. Instead, he asked Chen Ying for his opinion, and even went to see Xun Xun when the final report was about to be made.

The purpose is naturally to drag a few more people into the water. If the alliance wants to punish them in the future, they can use the excuse that this is a unanimous decision of all the managers of the alliance and they have to compromise.

Tang Ning could tell what Jiang Huan was thinking, and it was impossible for Chen Ying and Tian Jianan not to understand. They all knew each other well and understood each other tacitly, but their words were cryptic.

Now the rebels are approaching the city. At the moment of life and death, we are all in the same boat, sharing weal and woe, and have fought side by side. However, when it comes to specific interests and subsequent punishment, we are still unwilling to openly express our feelings and are still playing games. This kind of word game surrounded by clouds and mountains.

I have to say it's very sad and boring.
