Chapter 425: Let’s End It
Lin Yuan used his powerful prestige to force the final decision on the subsequent strategic deployment. Seeing that the chief was so determined, the generals could not say anything discouraging. They could only leave the central army tent with worries after the meeting and go back to make final preparations.
"Xiao Linzi, is what you just said true? Has Boss Lu really gone to Fengdu City?" Xia Lin saw that only Zhong Peipei, Gu Jia and Lin Yuan were left in the military tent, so she hurriedly asked.
Lin Yuan looked at the expectant eyes of the senior sister and shook his head helplessly, "Boss Lu is trapped in the abyss."
Xia Lin suddenly opened her eyes wide, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she didn't react for a long time.
"Then why do you still want to attack Fengdu City? Without Boss Lu's help, can we really do it?" Xia Lin forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, and asked nervously to Lin Yuan's side.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I have been preparing for the plan to attack Fengdu City for many years. At that time, I didn't even know the existence of Boss Lu." Lin Yuan said calmly.
"In my original plan, there was no variable called Boss Lu."
"And I believe that Boss Lu will not be trapped in the abyss forever. He will definitely come back."
Xia Lin looked at Lin Yuan with a worried look, and then turned her eyes to Zhong Peipei and Gu Jia, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.
"Director Xia, Master will come back." Gu Jia's voice was very calm, "He promised me that he would take me home."
"Master has never broken his promise."
Zhong Peipei also cast a reassuring look at Xia Lin and comforted her, "Director Xia, anyone can doubt Junhou, but we should not doubt him, right?"
Xia Lin was startled, and the words she wanted to persuade Lin Yuan to stop could no longer be uttered.
She clenched her fists tightly, thought for a long time, and then turned her eyes back to Lin Yuan.
"Xiao Linzi, I have never doubted you. Even if you never told me your plan, I have never doubted you once."
"Since you have made up your mind, I will go with you no matter whether the road ahead is a cliff or an abyss." Xia Lin took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
A touch of warmth flashed across Lin Yuan's calm face.
He showed a warm smile to his senior sister and said softly, "Senior sister, I know."
"This time, I won't hide it from you."
For the first time, Lin Yuan revealed all his plans.
Xia Lin listened to Lin Yuan's unhurried narration, and her beautiful big eyes became bigger and bigger...
Until the end, she was stunned as if she had been petrified.
Motionless.
......
On the third day after the monster tide came, Dawn City got a rare rest.
For a whole day, the monsters did not launch any charge.
The morale of the human race reached its peak.
Almost all soldiers believed that the demon tribe was frightened by the adult and was already at the end of its strength, and could not make any big waves at all.
Some radical recruits even began to apply to their superiors to take the initiative to attack and look for opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
In this atmosphere of great victory, the fifth wave of the demon tribe's charge quietly began.
From the early morning of the fourth day, the demon tribe fought for a whole day.
The defense formation of Dawn City was turned on at maximum power all day long, and the artillery fire on the city wall poured down endlessly.
A large number of crystal cores were thrown into the battlefield.
The Demon Slayer Department can almost be said to have used crystal cores to forcibly beat the demon tribe back.
The human race still achieved an astonishing battle loss ratio like the previous few times.
However, an unfounded panic mentality quietly spread in the hearts of the soldiers.
The fourth day of the battle made everyone start to think about a question.
"If we continue to fight like this, will the crystal cores really be enough?"
This time, not only the middle and senior officers, but even the soldiers at the bottom found clues.
The rune cannon on the city wall was obviously unable to fire in the second half of the fourth day of the battle.
The frequency of the artillery roar changed from a dense roar to a sporadic accompaniment.
The defensive strength on the city wall was also much worse than before.
Even the two towers on the city wall were knocked down by the demons, and the demons did not even send out the big demons!
Even the most optimistic warriors could clearly see the problems on the human side.
Just facing the ordinary soldiers of the demons, all strategic reserves were used up. How to deal with the next big demon attack?
This is not the most unacceptable thing.
Some smart soldiers in the army have discovered that the Fengdu Army and the group of mercenaries of the Hunter Guild disappeared quietly from the Dawn City in the second half of the fourth day of the battle.
For a time, the news that the Fengdu Army and the Hunter Guild had fled spread quickly in the military camp.
"I've said before that the Fengdu Army is unreliable, and the Hunter Guild's money-minded guys are even more unreliable. The higher-ups are really crazy, giving these people the best equipment. I don't know how much kickbacks the people in charge took!"
"Hey... don't mention it. You only look at the appearance of the Fengdu Army and Hunter Guild's equipment. I've touched it myself, and it's not at the same level as ours. Except for the Guards, I've never seen any other legion's armor with so many small magic arrays embedded in it."
"These bastards, who eat the best and take the best, actually ran away at the critical moment? Don't let me catch them, or I'll beat them up!"
"If I can survive the monster tide this time, I will eat these bastards alive!"
"Okay, don't think too much. As long as that lord is here, the Fengdu Army and the Hunter Guild are not worth mentioning. We can win without their help."
"Speaking of that lord... did you see him today?"
"No... But it shouldn't be a big problem. Didn't that lord not take action when the monsters charged in the first two days? I guess he reserved his strength and showed up at the critical moment."
"Yes, yes, it should be reserved. Don't think about it. We will definitely win."
Relying on the soldiers' blind worship of "that lord", the morale of the Demon Slayer Division was barely stabilized.
The military leaders knew the complaints and thoughts of the subordinates very well, and Lin Yuan knew them even better.
But he didn't pay attention to those crazy words, nor did he issue any orders to stop the spread of rumors.
It seemed that he wanted to let this information reach the ears of the demons.
In the central army tent, Lin Yuan was alone looking at the sand table in front of him, staring at the most important model, and whispered softly in a voice that only he could hear.
"Fengdu City..."
"It's time to end it."
