Chapter 667: 664, The dilemma of unable to dispatch reinforcements_1
Next, the monks from Blue Star quickly moved between the giant spring eyes.
In just six and a half hours, they ran through seven giant spring eyes!
The third spring eye they “visited” was located at Gaerhe Mountain in Norway;
The fourth spring eye was located on the Bolang Peak in the French Alps;
The fifth spring eye was in Africa, specifically on Tubkale Mountain in North Africa;
The sixth spring eye was on Mount Kenya in the East Africa Great Rift Valley;
The seventh spring eye was the famous Mount Kilimanjaro.
For the remaining four giant spring eyes, the grand monks maintained the same strategy as before – firstly breaking the protective shield, and retreating once the support from the Skuru army arrived.
So, in the process of their long-distance charge, other than significant energy consumption, they didn’t encounter much danger.
The relevant departments also timely dispatched transportation troops, delivering enough energy cans to the must-pass areas, thus allowing the fierce offensive of the grand monks to continue.
However, the seventh Mount Kilimanjaro Spring Eye was the last stop for the monks of Blue Star.
For the first three giant spring eyes (Greater Caucasus, Damawand, Ural), the Skuru expeditionary army sent a god-level monk for support individually;
For the following four giant spring eyes, the expeditionary army dispatched teams of ten seventh-level monks each for support.
By now, there were no seventh-level monks left in the expeditionary army’s reserve support, and they could no longer dispatch support troops.
The monks of Blue Star were waiting for such an opportunity!
…
The Giant Spring Eye of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Before the protective shield of the base was penetrated, the silhouette of 10 seven-level Skuru monks arrived through the space cracks.
Su Yu lifted her head to look at them.
These 10 seven-level Skuru warriors included 4 Psychic Warriors, 4 Spiritual Masters, 1 Spiritual Mecha Master, and 1 Mental Power Master.
Spotting the arrival of these reinforcements, the monks of Blue Star immediately stopped working and retreated in a disciplined manner towards their formation on the outskirts.
Su Yu also spoke aloud to all the grand monks: “Everyone, pay attention! This is the last spring eye with Skuru reinforcements! They will lack reinforcements at the next one and that spring eye will belong to us!”
“Right, we must hold on.”
“The next spring eye will be ours!”
Though very tired, the Grand Monks all responded in unison.
Su Yu wasn’t worried that the Skurus would hear him.
After all, they had already fought through seven spring eyes, and unless the Skurus were hopelessly stupid, they had probably already guessed their tactics. Speaking such in full light could be a strategic maneuver to intimidate.
As for Su Yu’s strategy, the Skuru upper echelons didn’t waver.
The Skuru expeditionary headquarters.
Emperor Raging Sun, Manina XIII, and his lover Langqi were both staring at Mount Kilimanjaro in the 3D projection, their faces expressionless, falling into silence.
Staring at the projection where the Blue Star Monks successfully retreated from Kilimanjaro Mountain and took off on supersonic fighters, Langqi finally broke the silence:
“Your Majesty, we have run out of backup, I fear we will have to concede the next spring eye to the people of Blue Star.”
“Hmm!” Manina slammed his hand down on the table, splattering Lake syrup on Langqi.
However, Langqi made no move to wipe it off. He didn’t even glance at it. He acted as if nothing had happened.
“Langqi, let me ask you.” Manina’s gaze penetrated him, “Can’t we prevent the Blue Stars from taking the spring eyes?”
Manina had always treated these Blue Stars as inferior beings, as insects.
Now these insects had decreed their bright plot in broad daylight, while they had no countermeasures, causing him discomfort.
“Actually…” Seeing the furious emperor, Langqi trembled and said, “There is actually a way, but the price is large.”
He paused for a moment to collect his thoughts, then said to the Emperor: “If I am not wrong, the next target of the Blue Stars should be Mount Lang E at the southern end of the African continent.
They just took off now and it will take at least half an hour to get there.
If we dispatch 100 sixth-level monks for support, they should be able to hold it for three hours.
But the cost of doing so is enormous. Even though 100 sixth-level monks in theory have far more combat power than a regular eighth-level monk, they are not an entity, so they might be gradually broken.
According to my calculations, if they hold out for three hours, one-fifth of the sixth-level monks could be sacrificed in this battle, which means that at least 20 people will die.”
“Twenty people?” Upon hearing Langqi’s words, Manina’s anger subsided a bit.
He stared at the protective shield on the 3D projection screen of Kilimanjaro, which held a large hole, and couldn’t speak for a long time.
Surely, he wanted to grasp all the giant spring eyes and give the people of Blue Star a tough fight.
However, the estimated loss of over 20 sixth-level monks was unacceptable to him.
You see, there are just over 400 warriors of level 6 and above in G2. Losing 5% at once, how can the nation accept it?
If these people sacrificed in the final battle, that might not be too bad, but now for a spring eye, this will cause a huge negative public opinion in the world and even wipe out the positive impact he just made by distributing the money.
So, no matter what, he cannot send these 100 sixth-level monks.
Since the sixth-level monks can’t be dispatched, the expedition army really had no one to dispatch.
Manina had no choice but to sigh: “Sigh! Langqi, contact Lord Donald Prunt. We’ll see what he has to say.”
“Understood!” Langqi nodded hurriedly and immediately ordered communication with Donald Prunt, who was still at the Greater Caucasus spring eye.
…
At the same time, the Blue Star monks got on supersonic fighter planes and were rapidly advancing towards Lang E Mountain beside the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Since this could likely be the final battle, all the grand monks were excited.
While they were holding small energy cans and absorbing the spiritual energy to replenish themselves, they were discussing Skuru’s potential strategic decisions in the group of monks.
Emperor Taizong proposed in the group: “Su Yu my young friend, you said the Skuru expeditionary army had no seventh-level support yet, so could they potentially send the sixth-level monks? If they send over 100 sixth-level monks, they should be able to hold the spring eye, right?”
Su Yu: “[Laughing Emoji] First, it’s not very likely they would send sixth-level monks. Secondly, if they are really going to send 100 sixth-level monks, I would be even happier.”
Emperor Taizong: “Happier?”
Su Yu: “Indeed, in that case, our main tactical target will shift from ‘spiritual springs eyes’ to ‘sixth-level monks’.
Minister Cao Cao has been hiding his strength all this time, he has been adding a lot of spiritual energy to his sword handle, and the sword handle is almost restored to the peak of the eighth level.
If Skuru dares to send so many sixth-level monks, then it will be one sword strike per person! The Skurus can only cry.”
