Summoning the Holy Sword

The meeting room became empty again. Li Jie looked at the messy tables and chairs in front of her, sighed lowly, then she stood up, turned her head, and it was Qilian's slightly naughty smile that caught her eyes. .

"Xiao Lijie, it's been so long, haven't you got used to it?"

"I'm very sorry, Ms. Seven Love, I'm ..."

Speaking of which, Li Jie shook her head. To be honest, she didn't think she had to bear responsibilities bravely, but every time she got the information, Li Jie found that she had a lot of things to care about, but she had all these things. The inability to get an accurate answer made Li Jie's uneasy start. At the beginning, Li Jie was still very hard. With her efforts, the mercenaries in the Mist Fortress performed well, and the reformers were quite furious, except for occasional sporadic disturbances. In addition, it did not launch a massive offensive as before. This also made Li Jie relieved. She even secretly hoped that the reformers would better never attack it, or wait for Mr. Rhode to return ... In this way, she could escape the predicament in front of her.

It is a pity that the sky does not make people wish.

"We don't have much time? Little Lijie? Judging from the report of Little Joey, the Southern Army is really here this time, um, of course, can we just stand by and do this. After all, this is what the master told us Task, so, do you have any good ideas? "

"......... I think I have to think again ..."

Just after Li Jie had finished speaking, she saw Qi Lian raising her eyebrows. She looked at the girl in front of her with a playful expression and shrugged her shoulders. "Xiao Lijie, the enemy will not give you time to think about it? You should have an idea, but don't say that you have been in a daze when we had a meeting?"

"No, no, it's not like that!"

Upon hearing Qilian's answer, Li Jie hurriedly raised her hand. She looked at Qilian uneasily, but did not know how to speak, but in the end, Li Jie lowered her head and nodded slightly. "I do have a plan, Miss Qilian, but I think this plan is too risky, and there are still many unknown risks that have not been resolved. In case of failure ........."

"Think of defeat before victory? You do have the qualities of a good lieutenant, Xiao Lijie. It seems that the host really did not think you wrong. But ... why do you think so much?"

"Hey?"

Upon hearing Qilian's answer, Li Jie hurriedly raised her head and widened her eyes in surprise, as if staring at the Fire Elemental Lord in front of her, she couldn't believe what she heard ... … "Miss Seven and Seven Love, how can you say such irresponsible words, if I don't care about these, if everyone fails because of my negligence, what should I do !?"

Hearing Li Jie's questioning, Qi Lian was unmoved. On the contrary, the girl with fox ears first shook her tail leisurely, then stood up, and then her eyes stared at her Li Jie, for no reason, Li Jie felt a suffocating pressure on her face, which made her couldn't help closing her mouth. Not only that, Li Jie even felt that her breathing became a little hasty, but she Instead of lowering her head for this reason, she stubbornly raised her head and looked at Qilian, and at this time, Qilian's voice sounded in her ear again.

"I don't know if everyone will fail because of your negligence, but I know very well that if you continue to think like this, you will definitely fail."

"Hey?"

Hearing here, Li Jie could not help but stunned.

"I've been waiting for you to wake up on your own. I didn't expect that until now, you still hold such thoughts. This is really disappointing me, Xiao Lijie ... ... This is not only because of your obsession, but it is also harmful. I lost my bet. It seems that the host is really right. It is too difficult for you to take the initiative to perceive this fact. Sometimes, not everything can be done as you wish ... "

"Mr. Rhodes?"

"Yes, in fact, before the host left, he had specifically asked me to let me give you some pointers when you could not figure it out. But I think Xiaolijie you still have this ability, so it did not follow The host said what to do. But now it seems that the host really knows Xiao Lijie better than me, I haven't expected that you have been upset for so many days, and I haven't found it yet, but the solution is always in you In front of me. "

"Miss Seven Loves !!"

Hearing here, Li Jie finally couldn't help but stand up and shouted.

"why do not you………………"

"Why didn't I tell Xiaolijie you earlier? Don't blame me? It was a very simple thing, I thought Xiaolijie you must be able to perceive it. Maybe the master still has everything to do. In the light of Xiaolijie I didn't say anything about your trust? But you lived up to my expectations, which disappointed me! "

"Uh……………"

Seeing the fox-eared girl Zhenzhen complaining so straightforwardly, Li Jie didn't know what to say for a while, and she was obviously the right person to be angry ... But why is Miss Qilian showing it now? Even more angry than myself? What exactly is going on here?

"Well, that's all for fun, let's talk about business."

Seeing the complex and awkward expression on Li Jie's face, Qilian laughed slightly, then she patted her palm.

"Xiao Lijie said just now, if everyone fails because of your negligence ......... you said so."

"Ok……………"

Li Jie nodded after hearing Qilian's inquiries. This is exactly what she has been worrying about. Mr. Rhode gave everyone to himself to command before leaving, which also made Li Jie feel unprecedented. Pressure, although after the departure of Rhodes, Lijie did not make much change to the mercenary's actions. But even so, she couldn't help worrying about staying in the fortress every day, worried whether Joey and Lando would be ambush outside, worried about the reform party fortress launched a surprise attack, originally this was Li Jie never went Thought, but now, she feels that as Rhode's agent, it is better to have such consciousness and understanding, isn't it ......... right?

"This is completely wrong, Xiao Lijie."

Qi Lian's words mercilessly pointed out Li Jie's hesitation.

"We are human beings, thinking people, not puppets who can only act if they are indulged. Xiao Lijie, when you think so, you are actually ignoring the value of others. Yes, you expect to be able to Obtaining a perfect plan will make everything go smoothly without leaks, but this only exists in your ideals, and reality is never perfect. You are just a person, and it is a matter of course that you are negligent. And when you are negligent, we will be there to help you—you just need to do what you can do, and the rest will be made up by us. Still, you never believe Ever been a companion who has fought alongside you? "

"I…………………"

Hearing Qilian's questioning, this time, Li Jie finally could not say anything. The fox-eared girl's speech seemed to be hitting her heart with a heavy hammer. Then she realized why she had been panicking and feeling extremely distressed. Perhaps, she herself also subconsciously realized that she was doing this. Despise your companions. As Ms. Qilian said, they are not human puppets, but human beings, who can read, think, and live. They also have their own views and opinions. But for a long time, he has been immersed in the dead end of how to deal with the task that Rhodes has given to himself ...... Yes, Mr. Rhodes has himself acting as the commander. Everyone must teach them how to do it, right?

After completely figuring it out, Li Jie suddenly felt that her mind was suddenly bright.

Obviously it is such a simple truth, why have you never noticed it?

Thinking of this, Li Jie once again looked up to look at Qi Lian, this time, the original panic and haste on the girl's face gradually disappeared.

"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Qilian, I think, I may really have a way ........."

"But you have caused me to lose the bet with my master. This is a loss. But sooner or later, I will ask you to come back, Xiao Lijie, so now ... I will inform the pervert about this and the next thing. I'll leave it to you? "

After saying this, Qi Lian's proud Chong Lijie blinked, and then she put her hands behind her back, then hummed the song and turned away from the conference room. While watching the back of Qilian disappeared outside the door, Li Jie re-sit down on the chair as if relieved, she lowered her head, sighed deeply, and then passed the information next to her, soon , Li Jie's expression became serious again.

"This time, I must succeed ..."

Although, she said to herself.

As expected by Qilian, even earlier than she expected ... The reform army finally began to operate again. After learning about the investigation results of the Starlight Guild from Qilian, Garcia quickly dispatched himself The scouts went out to find out, and then they finally got the exact number of enemies.

"8,500 people."

When saying this, this Ping Yue has always been very embarrassing, unscrupulous, always carrying a man with a smile as a smile, the first time to converge the smile on the face, he stared at the general in the seat, eyebrows have It's no wonder that we can't hide the fatigue and helplessness. Although the overall quality of the Southern Army is not very high, they have won more people, and even if the fog fortress has supplemented its strength, it is only a few thousand. West Asia is not a fool. Of course, he knows that fighting ca n’t just look at the truth of the battlefield. There are really a lot of “good news” from the South. First, the granaries were burned, and then the undead army appeared ......... Hey, When I read these reports, Garcia still looked like a lively look. I did not expect that this newspaper could return to itself so quickly-the scorched reformers who were tossed by the breaking things are obviously planning to go all out. big.

But where are you going to have a bad time? You have to hold up with my fortress, what a matter.

Garcia is also very clear that the other party sends heavy soldiers in its own direction, obviously it does not intend to attack its own fortress, and it may even involve camouflage for the fortress. Their real purpose is to penetrate into the field of Pafield through their own defense line. The terrain of the foggy fortress is so bad. Once it crosses the fortress defense line, it is Yipingping, Tiannanhaibei is allowed to gallop, and Garcia obviously cannot find enough people to stop them. By that time, his own fortress has and does not have it. It's almost the same --- can not protect the territory behind them, what use is this fortress? Not to mention the soldiers under his command, although His Royal Highness Lydia sent 2,000 reinforcements, let alone say that the 2,000 reinforcements in this area could not even make a sound in front of each other, only those private soldiers The quality is enough for Garcia to "haha laugh" ......... This helpless and distressed expression only appeared on the face of "Red Fox" for a moment, and then disappeared again soon. Obviously, he was also very clear, as The garrison commander's expression on his own will hurt morale. So soon, Garcia's face reappeared with that cynical smile.

"Hey, these old men look really anxious, but that ’s okay, we have the opportunity to show them how powerful we are! Do n’t worry, although the number of each other is a little bit, it ’s actually a horde, so do n’t worry! No You need to pay attention. Everyone goes back and cleans up. When this group of guys comes, let us give the group of masters a hard shot !! "

"Oh oh oh !!"

Upon hearing this, the officers in the battle conference room immediately screamed. They slap on the table and stood up, then turned away with an excited smile. Only then did Garcia breathe a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his head and loosened the bow tie. At this time, Garcia realized that an unexpected guest was still here. .

"Oh? Isn't this Miss Li Jie? What's the matter with you? Oh, yes, thank you for the information you provided before. I didn't expect that this group of Wang Bazis actually sent so many people this time. Well, there are We're here, and you ... by the way, and that Miss Half-Beast Mage, I don't think there will be any problems with this fortress, rest assured! "

"General Garcia."

Just as Garcia waved his hand boringly, and intended to ask the girl in front to leave, Li Jie stood up, walked in front of him, and then stared at him with an unprecedented serious expression. Next, Li Jie took out a thick stack of paper from her hand and passed it.

"Here are some of my thoughts and plans for this line of defense. Please take a look."

"Oh?"

Hearing here, Garcia finally turned around, and for the first time looked at Li Jie in front of him. Then he smiled, reached out to take over the plan handed over by the girl, and flipped around casually, but still couldn't stop Opening a joke.

"Hey, Miss Spirit, I didn't expect you to have such a military talent. It really surprised me. Let me see ... eh?"

Garcia's words so far, when his gaze was fixed on the words on the paper, the fortress commander's complexion changed slightly, then he stopped the movement in his hand, and carefully watched Li Jie's hand. The plan was then slowly read through. At this moment, the face of this "red fox" has completely lost its frivolity and teasing, and has been replaced with unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.

There was a silence in the battle conference room. Only Garcia could not stop turning the paper, while Li Jie stood quietly, holding the hem of her clothes tightly with her hands, and looked nervously at the commander in front of her. One minute and one second passed, and it wasn't until a long time later that Garcia "snapped" Li Jie's plan together, and then he turned to look at the girl in front of him with an unprecedented serious look.

"This is the plan you came up with? Miss Miss?"

"Yes, Master Commander, I have considered it. The other party obviously does not intend to win the fortress. They just want to restrain us because behind us is the Pafield Plain. As long as we restrain us, we cannot send troops. Prevent their next move, then their purpose is achieved. So we must be prepared for this. "

"So, are you ready?"

"Yes, Lord Commander."

"....................."

Upon hearing Li Jie's answer, Garcia fell into silence again. After a while, he reached out his finger and clicked on the plan.

"Although your plan is very good, and I also believe in the strength of your guild, and indeed this plan is very convinced, but this plan is not perfect ......... Miss Lingshi, don't you think you have overlooked it a little This is a very fatal loophole for us. If you ca n’t let me know this, then I ca n’t agree with your actions. "

Hearing Garcia's inquiries, Li Jie did not hesitate to unusually unusual, but nodded her head to confirm.

"As you said, I'm a little lacking in this plan, but Lord Commander. But I'm not unprepared for that part either, Ms. Seven Love has gone looking for help ... I can assure you, Commander, that person must be able to successfully complete this task. This is Mr. Rhode's proposal, and I think there is absolutely no problem. "
