Late at night, around eleven o'clock.
The battle to attack Bailu City has lasted for a full 18 hours. Players from both sides fought bloody battles outside the city. However, due to the disparity in strength, the troops in the national server were retreating steadily, and even the opponent's elites had already reached the gate of Bailu City.
…
Outside Jiuquan Pass, the main force of the Indian server was still attacking crazily. Godavari Alliance Leader Paper Plane stood behind the crowd with a staff. The veins on his face had already popped out. He laughed loudly and said: "Come on, lock Jiuquan Pass." I rush down! The Chinese war zone is already stretched thin. People from the Japanese, Korean and European war zones are approaching the city. Bailu City is in danger. They have no intention of fighting anymore. Go ahead and defeat them in one go. Then I can join forces with the European and Japanese servers in Bailu City. It’s Lucheng, hahahahaha, our decisive moment has come!”
For a time, the players on the Indian server outside the city seemed to be on fire, attacking like crazy.
Under the city, the main force of Beichen led by Jiji, Shanyou Fusu, Jianmo Hermit, Huangxi and others also set up a battle formation and fought them to the end. I stood on the city wall with the emblem of the Starry Sky City token above my head. , looked very solemn, looking at the battlefield in the distance, and then looking at the national server forum, only to find that there were pessimistic and disappointing posts everywhere.
"The national server is really over this time. Bailu City has been surrounded by people. Almost all the military facilities outside the city have been destroyed by the people of the European server. Lin Tu led people into the city in the middle of the night, but is it useful?"
"The failure of the battle at Shanhaiguan has basically determined the direction of Bailu City."
"Damn it, why haven't you brought reinforcements to Bailu City today?"
"The battle today was so miserable. From morning to now, I have failed five times, and I have lost a total of 31 levels. Oh my God, how can I fight next? I saw Wind Wings commanding the Royal Heavy Artillery in the European server. We have already started targeting the east gate of Bailu City!"
"I didn't expect that. I originally thought that the national server was already the mainstay of Tianxing. But in this battle, we were completely knocked back to our original shape. Lin Tu's command ability must be questioned."
"As soon as White Deer City is lost, the next one is Xingqi City, then Tianfeng City, and in the end, can it be that our national server cannot escape the fate of being destroyed? Who is responsible for this? I can't understand it anymore. Anyway, , so far, the national server can almost be described as a mess, which is very disappointing!”
…
Looking at these posts on the national server forum, I immediately understood the mentality of the current national server players. The next battle is to defend Bailu City, but with their mentality, I am afraid that Bailu City cannot be defended. .
Half an hour later.
A critical voice came from the guild channel: "Oh no, our defenses in the southern theater have been breached. Tens of millions of troops from the Vietnamese and Indonesian servers have come to kill them. They are rushing along the western mountains. Their target should also be Bailu City. !”
"This really makes things worse." Tang Yun said.
"Bailu City is surrounded on all sides, what should we do?" Huang Xi asked.
"Shall we... reinforce Bailu City?" Ai Xiaoye said.
"no!"
Critical said categorically: "The cost of reinforcing Bailu City is too high. Not only we, Beichen, can't bear it, but even the national server can't bear it."
"But we can't just watch Bailu City be captured, right?" Xu Zhinuo said.
"It's time to make a decision."
Shanyou Fusu said in a low voice, "Brother Xi, let's have a meeting. It's an internal meeting of Beichen's management. Let's resolve this matter face to face, okay?"
"Okay, got it."
I took a deep breath, feeling as if a huge stone was weighing on my heart. I vaguely felt that this time Beichen had really reached the edge of the cliff and was facing a life-or-death decision.
…
ten minutes later.
Jiuquanguan Conference Hall, gusts of cold wind roared outside the window. The conference hall was still warm. There were more than a dozen lamps lit by spiritual stones hanging on the walls, dissipating warmth and light. At this time, this small conference hall was already full of people. The core players and management of Beichen, a total of more than 30 people, have basically arrived, and almost all of them have arrived, and no one is absent.
The national server has reached a moment of life and death, and the same is true for us.
"Okay, time is running out."
Critical raised his eyebrows as if he were the eldest sister of the guild, and said: "We have a disagreement now, two attitudes. One is that we should go to reinforce Bailu City, and the other is that we should continue to guard Jiuquan Pass. Everyone should express their opinions. Right? Those who think we should support Bailu City, raise your hands."
Immediately, Shanyou Fusu raised his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Huangxi, God of the North Wind, Eighth Floor Lao Can, Xichen Yufeng, Ai Xiaoye, and Chen Yi raised their hands. After that, the rest of the people looked at me, and I looked at you, and then Bai Xiaobai, Genius Xiaobaozi, False Zhinuo, Mo Lichuxin and others raised their hands.
Critical frowned and said nothing.
My heart sank and I said, "Then the rest of the people support continuing to guard Jiuquan Pass, right?"
"Yes."
Everyone nodded.
"It's better to express your stance." Su Xiran said: "Those who think that they should not support Bailu City should raise their hands to express their support."
Immediately, Tang Yun, Critical, Jian Mo, Suifengzhidao, Tian Wuhui, Qing Yan, Lin Che, Wang Jinhai, Su Xiran, Xu Jiacheng and others almost all raised their hands together. After a few seconds, Rose Xinai Te, Lancelot, Tiantian Lei, Storm Spirit, Li Qingye, Meng Yiyi, Soul Ballad, Wenxin, Yuyu and others also raised their hands one after another, and the number of people obviously exceeded those who supported Fusu.
"no!"
Right opposite me, Shanyou Fusu stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth, and said: "This is not a matter of numbers and stance at all, but...but Bailu City is too important. Once Bailu City is lost, we will We will lose a core city in the north. When the time comes, people from the European server or Japan and South Korea want to attack us again, it will be too easy! If we, Beichen, don’t rush to rescue Bailu City, won’t we be stabbed in the back after this battle? Are you calling us cowards?"
"Not quite."
I glanced at him and said: "Fusu, don't get excited first. We will discuss this matter. First of all, I must make it clear that Beichen is really not suitable to rush to the rescue of Bailu City at such a stormy moment, because we are now Our mission is to guard Jiuquan Pass."
"Brother Xi, are you afraid of taking responsibility?" He raised his eyebrows, with an unbelievable provocation in his eyes.
"Fusu, you are so irresponsible to say such things." Su Xiran frowned and said: "Captain D is thinking about everyone and Beichen as a whole. Why is he afraid of taking responsibility? Along the way, for the first time , during the Second National War, did he bear less shame?"
"Then why don't you save Bailu City? I... I..." He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists full of veins, saying: "If we don't save Bailu City now, we will have no chance in the future. Brother Xi, we can't do it because of your temporary Being cowardly means giving up what you should do. No matter what, Beichen is number one in the national server, Bailu City is in danger, we must go!"
"Lin Su!"
I stood up suddenly, slapped my palm on the desk, and said angrily: "Is this a matter of cowardice on my part? Do you know what we may face if we go there? As soon as Beichen's main force leaves, Jiuquan Pass will be destroyed within ten hours It will definitely be destroyed. When the time comes, the Yinfu troops will be exhausted, and the entire Western Region Protectorate will be lost. Also, have you ever thought about why the Yinfu dare not attack and regain the Elephant City and Qingguang City? It's because of us There are heavy troops stationed at Jiuquan Pass. If they dare to fight, we can reinforce them at any time and defeat them by cooperating inside and outside. But if Jiuquan Pass is lost, the entire Western Region Protectorate, as well as Shenxiang City and Qingguang City will be gone. This kind of battle damage is enough for those superiors to beat our entire Beichen to the ground. Let me tell you! Lin Su, there are too many people in the national server who want to replace Beichen now. Do you want everyone in the entire guild to fight for you alone? Buying on impulse?!”
He looked at me with disappointment in his eyes: "Ding Muchen, you are so cowardly at this moment!"
"you… "
I punched the table and looked at him. My eyes felt hot and tears almost fell. I would never have thought that he would say such a thing to me.
"Lin Su, you've gone too far!" Tang Yun stood up and said, "He... is he doing it for himself?"
Shanyou Fusu looked at me and said: "Brother Xi, you are doing it for everyone, but isn't this considered selfish? Jiuquan Pass, Shenxiang City, and Qingguang City are lost. We can fight back. But if Bailu City is lost, can we get back those people and memories in Bailu City? If you don’t go, I will!”
He slammed the table hard and said: "I, Lin Su, am responsible for all my work. I will go to reinforce Bailu City. Anyone who is willing to come with me will come with me. The same is true in the guild. Anyone who is willing to leave can leave!"
"Lin Su!"
Su Xiran's voice was cold: "Do you know what you are doing? You are dividing the entire Beichen. You... do you regard the hard work of all of us over the past year as a bargaining chip for your own whims?"
At this moment, Fusu suppressed tears in his eyes and said: "Brother Xi, Sister Xiran, this time, I am really sorry!"
With that said, he turned around and left.
The rest of the people, those who supported Shanyou Fusu, including Huangxi, Beifengzhen, Bai Xiaobai and others, were stunned on the spot. Some people stood up slowly, as if they wanted to chase Fusu!
"Peng!"
Tang Yun landed her palm on the table, with flames and dragon energy swirling around her, and said, "I'll see which of you dares to go!"
"We... we..."
Huangxi and the God of the North Wind were stunned on the spot again.
"never mind."
I waved my hand and said: "Go, go... If you want to save Bailu City, then go ahead. I won't stop you. Take care along the way and don't destroy all our wealth."
"I got it, boss, don't worry!" Huang Xi said.
The God of the North Wind gritted his teeth: "Boss, I'm sorry... I helped Brother Su say I'm sorry. He probably didn't mean what he said."
"It's okay, go ahead..."
I waved my hand and sat slumped in the chair.
…
That night, the brothers turned against each other and parted ways. They were all red-eyed, fearing that they would never go back.
