Chapter 128 Justice Must Be Carried Out
Latest website: Li Guang Fortress.
Central Bastion Hall.
Jon, the guardian of the seventh defense zone, the candidate for the king, and the first fire bearer, is sitting behind the long table, reading reports from commanders and regiment leaders at all levels.
His face was very pale, with greasy black hair trembling on his cheeks, and his eyes were narrow and gloomy.
As the core of the inner defense circle, the current situation of Liguang Fortress is very bad, and the pressure from the Kuroshio is far beyond imagination.
Among the three king candidates, his performance fell far below expectations.
Linfeng City was lost, Long Pass was destroyed, and the entire seventh battle group was wiped out, which marked him as a failure.
If there is no change, the Firebringer's seat will change after the Black Tide ends.
At this time, another sentry presented two new pieces of information.
"Sir Jon, this is the weather forecast from the White Tower Observatory. It will be foggy for the next seven days."
"This is the report of the Survey Corps. One day later, a higher intensity black tide will arrive."
Under the long table, a giant wearing a scale robe said in an anxious tone: "Your Excellency Jon, we can't hold it anymore! The losses of the Liguang Fortress guarding force have been huge, and the Liguang cannon has 36% of its components. There has been a malfunction and it can no longer be used! We need to divert the traffic to the west as soon as possible!"
Jon frowned and said hesitantly: "Gregor, the people in Windward City and other places are migrating near the Death Mountain Mountains. If they are diverted to the west, the monster tide is most likely to hit Sword Pass, and the people will be in danger."
Gregor said anxiously: "Your Excellency Jon, you must understand that its guilt is smaller than the loss of Dawn Fortress. If it is lost here, it means that the middle part of the entire inner defense circle has collapsed, and everything is over. We It’s understandable that they are diverted in order to protect Liguang Fortress!”
Jon's face was gloomy, staring at every bad report in front of him, silent.
On the other side of the long table, a dark-haired young man with a stern expression said: "Your Excellency Justice Gregor, your suggestion is very irrational. Although the losses of the guarding troops are heavy, the overall combat effectiveness of Liguang Fortress is still good, and it is not yet possible." It’s time to collapse.”
Gregor glanced at the black-haired young man and said indifferently: "Villas, Dawn Fortress is very tired. If we continue to fight like this, the possibility is very high. We need to repair and reduce the fighting intensity. Letting some of the Black Tide leave will allow more soldiers to recover, and it will only take three to five days for Liguang Fortress to regain its vitality."
A dark-haired woman next to Vilas said calmly: "I think the combat subordinates can be adjusted. Some battles are very strange..."
Gregor interrupted sharply: "Is it too late to make adjustments before the war?"
"do not talk!"
Jon shouted.
The hall fell silent.
Noises, roars, horns and bells came faintly from outside the hall.
This is the mobilization of the troops in the fortress. As the core of a section of the defense line, it is impossible for the Le Quang Fortress to only fight the city defense. The soldiers must fight against the black tide on both sides of the vast fortress. Otherwise, the core of the defense line will be strategically destroyed. Considered "incapacitated" because it does not function to intercept or weaken the monster.
But now, the situation is too serious, and this large stronghold can no longer protect the small stronghold behind it.
They must shrink the defense line and let some monsters leave so that the warriors can get more breathing space.
The Western Front was the only option.
At this time, I heard Gregor say again: "Your Excellency Jon, behind the Western Front are the Old City, Dragon's Tooth Castle, and Wolf Castle. The disaster will not spread endlessly and produce unpredictable consequences."
Jon was silent.
But in this case, what should the relocation teams from Linfeng City and other places do?
Gregor said loudly: "Lord Jon, if Dawn Fortress is lost, you will never be able to ascend the throne!"
boom.
Jon pinched off the charcoal and stood up, a cold and decisive expression reappearing on his face.
"Vilas, order the corresponding battle groups to return to the city for repairs. The Liguang cannon is suspended. Let the Industrial Machinery Research Institute repair the damaged parts as soon as possible. Order the first battle group to divert the black tide on the western front."
Gregor said ecstatically: "This is you! Only you, who is colder and more cruel than the monster, can save Trorian!"
Jon showed a cold smile: "Justice Gregor, please assemble a large team with teleportation beacons to reinforce Sword Pass."
Gregor's voice was suddenly strangled.
"Here, Sir Jon, I am an important combat force of Dawn Fortress, and the teleportation beacon is our final guarantee. How can I bring it to Sword Pass?"
Jon smiled and said: "If Dawn Fortress falls, there is no need for me to escape."
"But, but..." Gregor's voice lowered a lot: "The Old City, Dragon Tooth Castle and the area are all the area of Lord Qingyu. As long as we have a valid reason, the rest is her business."
Jon said calmly: "If I can stop the diversion of the black tide in front of the sword pass, it will further prove my strategic ability."
"But in this way, aren't we just dispersing our combat power?"
"That's right."
Jon's thoughts were clear now.
"The area that Liguang Fortress needs to defend is too wide. The soldiers rely on the fortress to fight monsters in the wasteland. The advantage is not obvious enough. The terrain of Jianguan Pass is steep and the fortress is very strong. The reinforcement team from the Royal City even brought them a protective shield. fire."
"If I send part of the black tide out to support part of the combat force at Jianguan, isn't it just turning the field battle into a city defense battle within the scope of the Guardian Fire? This is a very good optimization of tactics and subordinates."
Gregor was silent for a few seconds, then bent his tall body: "As you wish, my lord."
"Let's go, Your Excellency, I will give Wangcheng a special commendation for your duty this time."
In the royal city, all combatants except the king will go to the front line, and the only ten justices are no exception.
"Praise be to you, Lord Great Jon, I set out."
"Go ahead, I will notify the Linfeng City relocation team and coordinate the battle group guard. If the sword pass cannot be defended, use the teleportation beacon to take them away."
"As you wish, my lord."
Gregor turned and left.
In order to prepare for the adjustment of the tactical subordinates, busy work resumed in the hall.
Jon came to the window.
Powerful protective fire illuminates the fortress known as the "Light of Dawn".
It was once the gateway to the kingdom and was seen as a symbol of hope.
Even now.
Jon clenched his hands.
My way is the right way, and I am the only one who can save Trorian.
I will never fail.

When Rhodes woke up, two days had passed, and there was still a slight throbbing in his spirit.
The side effects of consuming a lot of psychic energy and using [Awakening] have not completely disappeared.
Caramon, who had been guarding him, jumped up and ran out with a loud howl.
Soon, countless footsteps sounded outside the door.
Steelhand and others all rushed in at once.
After a series of examinations, everyone finally announced that Rhodes was back to normal.
Later, Rhodes told them what happened in detail.
The atmosphere became silent and everyone looked very sad.
An Ye sighed softly: "Bach originally hoped to become a high-level knight, but he will soon become a fifth-level combatant."
Egg held his head, looking very remorseful, and murmured: "Why is my mental resistance so low! If it were higher, how could Mr. Bach die?"
The steel hand said loudly: "Guarding the sword pass is a consolation to the dead!"
He turned around and told Rhodes what happened in the past two days.
Only then did Rhodes realize that during the two days he was in coma, they had found the mole——
A logistician, he took bribes from doomsday cultists and placed the encapsulated rotten objects in designated locations, thereby attracting evil spirits.
At the time of the incident, he had used a charm to escape.
Based on this, Gangshou judged that all this was premeditated, and the high-level evil spirits might have been awakened by doomsday cultists in advance.
I just don’t know why, they would specifically target Jianguan.
In the current layout, Jianguan Pass is not a very important pass. There is Liguang Fortress in the front, and the Old City and Dragon Tooth Castle in the rear. The support personnel of the Royal City can easily reactivate these former war strongholds.
No one can think of the reason, they only think that it may be the madness and self-destructive tendencies of doomsday believers, which makes them instinctively choose the easiest target to destroy, just to vent and create panic.
Everyone was very angry about this and became increasingly grateful to Bach for ruining their plot.
They have decided that as soon as the black tide ends, they will return to the royal city and request the Supreme Council to thoroughly investigate the matter. They must find the doomsday cultists who destroyed the sword pass and eliminate them all.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
When talking about this, everyone showed joy again, and they told Rhodes that Liguang Fortress was about to send a large team to reinforce them.
As long as they persist until reinforcements arrive, nothing will happen again at Jianguan and no more people will die.
Everything is going in the right direction.
However, for some reason, Rhodes always had an ominous premonition that things were not that simple.
No, I have to quickly improve [Justice Execution] a little more, preferably to the state of "Eternal Fire".
If any strong enemy appears before reinforcements arrive, I have a greater chance of destroying it.
One shot of [Psychic Quartet] failed to kill the high-level evil spirit, which gave Rhodes a strong sense of panic, as if he was suffering from a phobia of insufficient firepower.
[Justice execution], which has always been invincible, suddenly cannot be executed.
Is that still called justice?
