Summoning the Holy Sword

Gaya opened her eyes and stared quietly at Qilian who was sitting in front of her, shaking left and right.

"It's funny, Miss Seven Love, but I don't think I have an obligation to help you."

"I didn't say that you must help us, Xiao Gaya."

After hearing the answer from the other side, Qilian laughed aloud. She proudly put a finger up and swung left and right, and behind Qilian, the fluffy big tail was also shaking left and right.

"I'm just telling you this, and I hope you can help me a little bit. Isn't it a hand for you? Don't be so stingy, okay, anyway, you have enough power to solve this little problem, even if you have Jinshan Yinshan, who knows if you don't need it? "

"So what about you? Lord of the Elements of Fire?"

Gaya's expression did not change in the slightest. Her deep black eyes looked closely at the fox-eared girl in front of her, and when she heard Gaya's inquiries, Qilian's expression remained unchanged. She was still the same. He smiled, crossed his fingers at the same time, and leaned back on the back of the chair leisurely, turning his lower ear proudly.

"My situation is special, Xiao Gaya, and even so, I'm working hard? Look at you, how boring it is to hide in this cold and damp room without getting out of the door every day, Isn't it occasionally good to go out for a walk and kill someone?

"Please don't compare me with you, Miss Qilian."

Gaya lowered his eyes, and stretched out his fingers to stroke the harp at his hand.

"You have your thoughts, and I have my considerations. I am not here to make my own will, but to be ordered by His Royal Highness. I do n’t know who came up with the plan, but this is your own. The problem is not my responsibility. If they want to win, then it is best to rely on their own hands instead of expecting the assistance of others. I hate the weak, especially those who always expect to be able to Those who rely on the strength of the strong, the weak are nothing but ants, and I have no interest in the ants' request. That's it, Miss Qilian, I think you should understand what I mean. "

"Of course, of course, I know very well, Xiao Gaya. Um, but your way of rejecting others really makes me sad, although it is true that it is not me who is sad, it ’s a pity that Xiao Lijie managed to make it difficult. She had the courage to do it, but now it looks like she may have to think of something else. "

Having said that, Qilian simply jumped up, then smiled at Gaya, then turned around and walked to the door, and when Qilian reached out her hand and planned to open the door, her motion stopped suddenly. Then Qi Qilian turned around again, and once again showed a passionate smile to Gaya.

"Ah, right, I have forgotten one more thing, and then the owner asked me to bring it back-he is looking forward to His Highness Lydia to prepare a generous reward for this mission?"

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

Hearing here, Gaya's expression remains unchanged, but Qilian does not seem to intend to get any further response from Gaya. She just waved his hands at the other with great enthusiasm, so she opened the door and retreated. Go out. Until the door was closed again, the dark-haired girl was still sitting quietly on the chair. Her left hand was holding the heavy harp, and her right fingers were stroking the strings. Then, Gaya closed her eyes.

Soon, the crisp and sweet music sounded.

The gentle, cool wind poured from the window, bringing a hint of coolness to the originally dull room. Lydia stretched out her hand and took a stack of information from the coffee table in front of her. After looking at the records on the paper, Lydia's mouth suddenly tilted slightly.

"Now it seems that the group of mice can't help but finally ... It seems that it is right to drive the mice to find a suitable wild cat. Domestic cats are docile, but they always keep their paws. It's exhausting to hide ... "

The girl was lying on the soft and comfortable red velvet sofa, looking at the information in her hand with a pleasant smile, and when she reached out and turned to the next page, Litiana's long, white fingers Suddenly the action stopped, and the archangel looked at the report with a curious and interesting look. After a while, she smiled slightly, then stood up and took the information in her hand. Throw it aside.

"It's funny ......... Lydia looked up, looking at the picturesque scenery outside the window, and whispered to herself. Behind the girl, a golden light flashed from time to time, The outline of the wings of light appeared, and the girl looked out the window silently. After a while, she reached out and picked up the bell on the side of the coffee table and shook it. Soon, With the crisp bell, a maid entered the room respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, what do you command?"

"Invite Archmage Amond to come to me, and at the same time instruct me to continue. In the evening, I will hold a round table and invite General Lanick of the Seventh Fleet for me-it is almost time for those who are on my site It's time for the rat rattle to give its final blow. "

Speaking of which, Lydia's eyes flashed for the first time, shining like a thunderbolt.

"call……………"

Li Jie put down her pen and looked at the messy map drawn by herself, and she couldn't help laughing. This time the battle plan was completely designed by her and planned. But now, it is finally at the last moment, and the next is the most important test for Li Jie-she will explain her battle plan to other people completely, and hope to get them Understanding and cooperation is the most important for Li Jie.

Almost, it's time.

Thinking of this, Li Jie stood up, she clenched her small fists, and waved as if she was cheering herself up. Then, the girl picked up the map in her hand, then turned around and pushed open the door and walked out room.

When Li Jie came to the combat meeting room again, the crowd was already ready. Although such a combat meeting had been held many times, this time, everyone was very surprised and curious. --- After all, everyone used to gather together in accordance with the rules and report on the current situation. But this time it was obviously different. This was the first time that Li Jie took the initiative to convene them to participate in the combat meeting.

I have to say that most people were surprised when they heard the news. Even Joey, Lando and others who are much less senior than Lijie are no exception. In all fairness, they are not looking down on Li Jie or deliberately making things difficult for her. After all, Li Jie is the oldest member of the Starlight Guild, and her surname is gentle, and she is a life-saving spiritual master. No one wants to be bored to find such a little girl's puppet. But the problem is that feelings return to feelings and work returns to work. In the previous meeting, Li Jie behaved like a puppet. No matter what others said, she would just nod and then know. This reaction made others very helpless . After all, mercenaries fight in groups, and they naturally need a backbone that can command themselves. Before Rhodes was there, everyone was not worried about this issue. But now that Rhodes is gone, she has thrown such a heavy burden on Li Jie, but at present it seems that Li Jie does not do well, and she behaves more like a dumb clerk rather than an agent. Long post deputy. Fortunately, there hasn't been anything that Li Jie has to decide and deal with since this time, so everyone doesn't have much objection to her existence.

But now, things have finally changed.

The reform army is about to arrive. As long as it is not blind, it can be seen that this time the Southern Army is inevitable. For these mercenaries, it is finally time to test them. If Rhodes is here, they don't have to worry about it, let alone thousands of people on the other side, there are tens of thousands of people. As long as Rhodes is in command, these mercenaries are not afraid to fight with each other. But now that Rhodes is away, Li Jie, who is in charge of acting, is so hesitant, which makes others start to worry.

Is it offense? Is Shou? Is it war? Is it back?

In private, many people have argued about these issues several times. Thankfully, at this time, the role of Rhodes leaving seven loves appeared. Although everyone was a little upset in the face of the upcoming war clouds of the Southern Army, At least this scheming and powerful Fox-eared girl is beside them, and Rhodes has said in public that Qilian stays here to help Li Jie, so in the face of such a situation, she must be there Everyone should not panic to the point where the six gods are out of control.

Now that I heard Li Jie hold a meeting, most people also think that this should be the command of Qilian behind the scenes. After all, there is no time to fight. If you can't come up with an idea, it will be a real battlefield. trouble.

Because of this, when they saw Li Jie walking into the battle conference room alone, almost everyone's face showed a surprised expression. Joey even stretched his neck and looked back, but Li Jie was in After entering, she turned to close the door, and it was obvious that behind her, there was no shadow of the fox-eared girl.

What's going on?

Sure enough, she noticed everyone's expressions, Li Jie's mood was a little down. As a person who is most adept at observation and meticulousness, she certainly did not let go of her companion's surprise and doubt when she saw her alone here And she also understands why they show such expressions. After all, although the combat conference has been held by itself in name, the actual dominance has always been in the hands of Qilian. Now that Qilian is not here, can he do this well?

Thinking of this, Li Jie could not help holding her hand tightly.

Anyway, this time, you have to work hard!

While secretly cheering for herself in the heart, Li Jie opened her eyes and looked back at her companions, and then she opened her mouth and said.

"I invite you to participate in the combat meeting this time. For nothing else, I think everyone is very clear. The army of the Southern Army will arrive here shortly. Before that, we must propose a combat plan. Mr. Tak's talent, so I look forward to hearing everyone's opinions ... "

Having said that, Li Jie rolled out the map in her hand, and everyone hurried to stand up, looking at the ghostly map, and they frowned.

what is this? Graffiti?

However, Li Jie didn't pay attention to their expressions. In fact, she knew very well that her fault was not so easy to get rid of. Even until now, Li Jie still does not have the confidence to be able to arouse courage in the doubts of others. She even worried that when she was halfway talking, she would immediately doubt herself when she saw the uneasiness and doubt on others. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Li Jie decided not to look up at others when she told the battle plan this time, but to focus on the map in front of her.

"After analysis of Joey and Lando's intelligence, I and Miss Qilian analyzed that this time the Southern Army did not want to completely capture the top of the cloud and mist. Because there is no real military for them Value. I think that they should intend to use a small number of troops to contain the fortress, and the rest will take the opportunity to go straight to the depths of the Pafield Plain from the side. In this way, the role of the fortress on the top of the cloud will be meaningless. They We can even cut our way out from behind and surround the fortress in turn. Mr. Rhodes once told me that the reformers knew that they were not strong enough to fight the royal family, so they placed their hopes in the kingdom of light, according to Mr. Rhodes It is said that after these people occupy Pafield, the Land of Light Parliament is likely to protest and oppose the Moon family through diplomatic channels, and eventually make the land occupied by the reformists essentially a territory they control. . "

"what?!"

Hearing here, Joey couldn't help screaming, even the others were looking at each other at the moment, they never thought so much, after all, as mercenaries, their eyes can't talk about how long-term they are. In their opinion, as long as There is victory in sight, isn't it still victory? But now ... "Miss Li Jie, you mean, even if the **** don't hit us, but spare us to occupy the land behind us, after we are acknowledged by the damned Council of Light, we still Are you standing within the territory of the "enemy"? "

"That's almost it."

After hearing Joey's unbelievable cross-examination, Li Jie still stared at the map in front of her eyes, nodding her head hard.

"So, in order to prevent this, we must completely stop the opponent's attack. I researched the terrain of Pafield and found a few paths that the opponent may pass ..."

Having said that, Li Jie reached out her finger and pointed at a point on the map.

"I learned after looking at the map and asking General Garcia that although Pafield is plain, the line of defense at the top of the clouds is not a flat place. There are so many trees blocking the fortress line and the rear. Among them, if the enemy is in a hurry, they will definitely not enter the forest with effort, but will choose to pass through the flat land between the two forests. I think we can set an ambush here and completely prevent their way. "

"Do you mean to ambush?"

At this time, he kept silent, and the silent Mapha finally asked.

"Yes, Mr. Marfa. Our numbers are not dominant, but fortunately, there are many thieves and rangers among us, which can guarantee our advantage in ambush, and I have also carefully checked , My team is sure to let the curse spirit completely cover this area, thereby slowing down their speed, and then cooperate with Mr. Lando's Ranger Squad, Mr. Marfa's War Sword Squad, and Miss Seven Love's cover, I think , We should be able to take down the enemy here. "

"So, how many enemies are we going to face? Armies?"

"In order to contain the strength of the fortress on the top of the cloud, the opponent should divide about 3,000 people to entangle General Garcia. The total number of enemies is 8,500. Considering that they are trying to be safe, they will not choose to send all If our forces are concentrated in one place, we should face 2,000 to 3,000 enemies. "

"It's just your guess, Miss Lijie."

At this time, Lando frowned.

"Even if there are 2,000 to 3,000 people, we add up to less than 200 people. This is already very difficult to deal with. If the other party does not have enough troops to surround it as you expected The fortress, then the threat we are facing may be greater. Have you considered this issue? Also, what if the other party concentrates its forces to break through? More than 5,000 people ... if Mr. Rhodes is here Of course I have nothing to say, but ... "

Although Lando's words were not finished, everyone knew what he meant. And Li Jie still did not look up, just staring at the map in front of her eyes.

"They should not do this. I have learned from General Garcia that General Dade, who is in charge of commanding the battle this time, is a cautious and careful person. Such a person will never take all The eggs are put in a basket. If I were him, then I would prefer to bloom in many ways, and let my soldiers divide into several teams to quickly break through the line of defense, and then reassemble in the rear. Moreover, the team of 5,000 people is too large. It is also not conducive to concealment, and it is easier for the enemy to guess their subsequent direction and goal, so I think he should not do so. "

Speaking of this, Li Jie paused and said so much in front of everyone for the first time that the girl felt extremely nervous, but she took a deep breath and continued to speak.

"As for the arms, I think they should be cavalry, and the ones used to contain the fortress are all infantry. After all, in order to pursue speed and break through the line of defense, the infantry is much slower than the cavalry, and it is not appropriate to bring them. "

"So you plan to do this? It's a good idea ..."

Hearing this, Marfa nodded at last, and at the same time he could not help but glance at Lijie with a slight surprise. This little girl, who has always been just a Novo, actually has such a big picture right now, which makes Marfa quite Surprised. However, to him, the plan did not seem to be perfect ......... "Li Jie, I remember that your spiritual master's casting range seems to be limited. To cover the whole area, you don't have to stand in the woods. Outside? In this case, the enemy will definitely attack you first. Are you sure there is no problem doing this? "

"Please rest assured, Mr. Mafa, we are spiritual masters, and there are ways to protect ourselves. And ... and Annie is here."

"So ..."

Hearing here, Mapha nodded and said nothing more. After all, he is a swordsman, not a spiritual master. In terms of casting, he really has no qualifications to talk to Li Jie. At this moment, Joey, who leaned down and stared at the map carefully, made a strange cry, and then he looked up and looked at Li Jie.

"Wait, Miss Li Jie, according to what you said, if that general in the south really dispersed his army, what does it make sense for us to do this? Even if we can plug this gap, but other places are breached, the result Isn't it the same as the end? And, in case those guys get an alert, they come around from the back and give us a pinch back and forth ......... Hey, isn't everyone still alive? "

"You can rest assured, Joey, Ms. Seven Love said that she has a trusted person who will take care of this problem ..."

Just after Li Jie's words had fallen, the door opened again, and then appeared in front of the crowd with Qilian's playful smile.

"Ah, it seems Xiaolijie happened to talk about me, I hope I didn't miss anything?"

"Miss Seven Love!"

Upon hearing the arrival of Qilian, Li Jie finally raised her head and looked at the fox-eared girl in front of her. She was a little excited, even shaking her hands slightly. I have to admit that the problem raised by Joey is exactly what Li Jie has been worried about before. Although she is not without a few alternatives in the face of such unexpected situations, it is not ideal. It wasn't until Qilian said that she had someone to help solve this problem, which made Li Jie feel relieved, and now ... "Miss Qilian, the thing you said ..."

"Ah, that thing."

Hearing Li Jie's inquiry, Qilian opened her eyes wide and rolled around, and then she smiled and blinked at her proudly.

"Relax, there is no problem at all, it's solved!"
