The conference room became empty again, Li Jie looked at the messy tables and chairs in front of her, sighed lowly, and then she stood up, turned her head, and saw the slightly naughty smile of Qilian.

"Xiao Lijie, it's been so long, haven't you gotten used to it?"

"I'm so sorry, Miss Seven Love, I'm really ..............."

Speaking of this, Li Jie shook her head, to be honest, she didn't think about taking responsibility bravely, but every time she got the information, Li Jie found that she had a lot of things to care about, but she couldn't get an accurate answer to these things, which also made Li Jie subconsciously start to feel uneasy. At first, Lijie still worked very hard, and thanks to her efforts, the mercenaries in the Mist Fortress behaved fairly well, and the reformers were quite competitive, except for the occasional sporadic snack, and did not launch a large-scale attack as before. This also made Lijie breathe a sigh of relief, and she even secretly hoped in her heart that the reformers would never attack them, or wait until Mr. Rhodes returned......... In this way, you can stay away from the predicament in front of you.

It's a pity that he didn't get his wish.

"We don't have a lot of time, do we? Xiao Lijie? Judging by Little Joey's report, the Southern Army is really here this time, well, of course, we can't just sit idly by. Bi Jing This is the white spoon task that the master has given us, so, do you have any good solutions? ”

“…………… I think I'll have to think about it again........."

As soon as Lijie finished speaking, she saw Qilian raise her eyebrows, she looked at the girl in front of her with a playful expression, and shrugged her shoulders. "Xiao Lijie, won't the enemy give you time to think about it? You should have an idea, don't you say that you have been in a daze while we are in a meeting? ”

"No, it's not, it's not like that!!"

Hearing Qilian's answer, Lijie hurriedly shook her hand in a panic, she looked at Qilian uneasily, but she didn't know how to speak, but in the end, Lijie still lowered her head, and then nodded slightly. "I do have a plan, Miss Seven Love, but, but I think this plan is too risky, and there are still many unknown risks that have not been solved, in case it fails..............."

"Think of defeat before victory? You do have the quality of a good adjutant, Xiao Lijie, it seems that the master really didn't misunderstand you. But what......... Why do you have to think so much? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Qilian's answer, Li Jie hurriedly raised her head, her eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe what her ears heard............ "Seven, Miss Qilian, how can you say such irresponsible words, if I don't care about this, if everyone fails because of my negligence, what should I do!?" ”

Hearing Lijie's somewhat excited questioning, Qilian was unmoved, on the contrary, the fox-eared girl first shook her tail leisurely, and then stood up, and then her eyes were fixed on Lijie in front of her, for no reason, Lijie felt a suffocating pressure rushing to her face, which made her can't help but close her mouth, not only that, Lijie even felt that even her breathing became a little short, but she did not lower her head because of this, but stubbornly raised her head and looked at Qilian, and at this time, the voice of Seven Love sounded in her ears again.

"I don't know if everyone will fail because of your negligence, but I know very well that if you continue to think like this, you will definitely fail."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Li Jie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"I've been waiting for you to wake up on your own, but I didn't expect that until now, you still have such thoughts, which really disappoints me, Xiao Lijie......... It's not just because of your obsession, but also because I lost my bet, and it seems that what the Lord said is really not wrong, and it's a little too difficult to wait for you to take the initiative to find out about it. Sometimes you can't do everything you want........."

"Mr. Rhodes?"

"That's right, actually, before the Lord left, he had a special instruction to me to give me some guidance when you couldn't think of it. But I think Xiao Lijie, you still have this ability, so you didn't do what the Lord said. But now it seems that the main entry really knows Xiao Lijie better than me, I didn't expect you to be so distressed, and I haven't found it yet, in fact, the solution has always been in front of you. ”

"Miss Seven Love!!"

Hearing this, Lijie finally couldn't help but stand up and shouted.

"What are you not .................. about?"

"Why didn't I tell Xiao Lijie earlier? Don't blame me for that? It's a very simple thing, I thought you would be able to detect it, Xiao Lijie. Maybe it's too much for the main entry. In line with my trust in Xiao Lijie, I won't say anything, right? But you have failed to live up to my expectations, which has disappointed me! ”

"Uh..............."

Seeing the fox-eared girl in front of her complaining so reasonably, Li Jie didn't know what to say for a while, and she was obviously angry that she was right......... But, why is Miss Seven Love acting even more angry than herself? What's going on here?

"Alright, that's the end of the joke, let's get down to business."

Seeing the complicated and embarrassed expression on Lijie's face, Qilian chuckled, and then she patted her palm.

"Xiao Lijie said just now, if everyone fails because of your negligence......... That's what you said. ”

"Uh-huh..............."

Hearing Qilian's inquiry, Lijie nodded, this is what she has been worrying about, Mr. Rhodes handed over all the entry to himself to command before leaving, which also made Lijie feel unprecedented pressure, although after Rod left, Lijie did not make too many changes to the mercenaries' actions. But even so, every time she stays in the fortress, she still can't help but worry, worried about whether Joey and Lando will be ambushed outside, worried that the reformers will launch a surprise attack on the fortress, which Lijie would never think about before, but now, she feels that as Rhodes's agent, she needs to have such awareness and understanding, right............ Isn't that right?

"That's completely wrong, little Lijie."

Seven Love's words mercilessly pointed out Lijie's hesitation.

"We are entering, thinking and entering, not puppets who can only act if they are entered. Xiao Lijie, when you think so, you are actually ignoring the value of other inputs. Yes, you expect to have a perfect plan that will go smoothly and make no mistakes, but this is only in your ideals, and reality is never perfect. You're just an entry, and it's a matter of course to be negligent, and it's not a sin. And when you are negligent, we will also be there to help you——— you just do what you can do, and we will make up for the rest. Or did you never trust your companions who fought alongside you? ”

"I ....................."

Hearing Qilian's questioning, this time, Lijie finally couldn't say anything anymore. The fox-eared girl's speech was like a hammer hitting her heart, and she realized that she had been panicking and feeling extremely distressed about what she had been doing, and perhaps she herself was subconsciously aware that she was despising her companions by doing so. As Miss Seven Love said, they are not cāo marionettes, but into the category, able to think and live existence. They also have their own opinions, opinions. But all along, he has been buried in the dead road of how to deal with the tasks assigned to him by Rod......... Yes, Mr. Rhodes made himself the acting conductor, but he didn't say that he had to teach them how to do everything, did he?

After completely figuring it out, Lijie suddenly felt that her thinking had suddenly opened up.

It's such a simple truth, why haven't you noticed it all along?

Thinking of this, Li Jie raised her head again to look at Qilian, and this time, the original panic and urgency on the girl's face gradually disappeared.

"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Seven Love, I think, I may really have a way..............."

"You're causing me to lose my bet with the master, but I'm going to have to ask you to come back sooner or later, Xiao Lijie, so now......... I'm going to inform that pervert of this, and I'll leave the rest to you, right? ”

After saying this, the smug Chong Lijie of Qilian blinked, then put her hands behind her back, and then hummed a song leisurely and turned around and left the conference room. And watching the back of the seven loves disappear outside the door, Lijie sat down on the chair again as if relieved, she lowered her head, sighed deeply, and then turned her hand to take the information next to her, and soon, Lijie's expression became serious again.

"This time, I must succeed in ............"

Although, she said to herself.

Just as Seven Love expected, even earlier than she expected......... The army of reformers finally started to act again, and after learning the results of the Starlight Guild's investigation from Seven Loves, Garcia quickly sent his scouts to find out, and finally they obtained the exact number of enemy incursions.

"Eight thousand five hundred."

When he said this, this Pingri has always been very sloppy, unkempt, and a man with a smile at any time, and for the first time he restrained the smile on his face, he stared at the generals present, and there was a tiredness and helplessness that could not be concealed between his eyebrows, it is no wonder that although the overall quality of the Southern Army is not very high, but they are victorious, and even if the Misty Fortress is replenished, it is only a few thousand, not to mention that Garcia is not a fool, of course he knows that the battle of the Dao can not only look at the battlefield, there is really a lot of "good news" from these sons in the south, first the granary was burned, and then the undead army was infested............ Hey, when I first read these reports, Garcia was still looking at the excitement, I didn't expect the current world newspaper to come back to his head so soon——— the reformers who were tossed by those were obviously planning to make a desperate bet and play big.

But where are you going to have a bad time, what kind of business is it that you have to fight with my fortress.

Garcia also knew very well that the other party sent heavy troops in his direction, obviously not intending to attack his own fortress, and it was even possible that the fortress was only camouflaged, and their real purpose was to penetrate deep into the heart of Pafield through their own defense line. The terrain of the Misty Fortress is so poor, once it crosses the fortress defense line, then it will be a flat river, and Garcia's men will obviously not be able to find enough to stop them, at that time, it will be almost the same if they have or not have this fortress——— they can't protect the territory behind them, what is the use of this fortress? Not to mention the soldiers under his command, although His Royal Highness Lydia did send 2,000 reinforcements, but not to mention that the mere 2,000 reinforcements couldn't even make a sound in front of the other party, the quality of those private soldiers alone was enough to make Garcia "laugh"............ This expression of helplessness and distress only appeared on the face of the "Red Sè Fox" for a moment, and quickly disappeared again, and it was obvious that he also knew very well that as the commander of the fortress, showing such an expression would be demoralizing. So soon, that cynical smile resurfaced on Garcia's face.

"Hehe, these old men look really anxious, but that's okay, we have a chance to let them see how powerful our white spoon is! Don't worry, although the other party has a little more, but in fact it is a rabble, so you don't need to care! Don't care, let's go back and clean up, and when this group of guys comes, let's give that group of big masters a hard blow!! ”

"Oooh oh!!"

Hearing this, the officers in the war room immediately howled, they slammed the table and stood up, and then turned away with excited smiles. It was only at this time that Garcia breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat from his head, and then loosened his bow tie, and it was at this time that Garcia realized that an unexpected guest was still here.

"Oh? Isn't this Miss Lijie? What's the matter with you? Oh, by the way, thank you for the information you provided before, I didn't expect this group of eight lambs to send so many people this time. Well, but we're here, and you......... By the way, and that half-beast mage miss, I don't think there will be any problems with this fortress, don't worry! ”

"General Garcia."

Just as Garcia waved his hand boredly, about to ask the girl in front of him to leave, Lijie stood up, walked in front of him, and then looked at him with an expression of seriousness that had never been seen before. Then, Lijie took out a thick wad of paper from her hand and handed it over.

"This is a little bit of my thoughts and plans for this defensive line operation, please take a look."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Garcia finally turned around, and for the first time looked at Lijie in front of him, and then he smiled, reached out and took the plan handed by the girl, and flipped through it casually, while keeping making jokes.

"Hey, Miss Spirit, I didn't expect you to have such military talent, this really surprised me, let me see......... Well? ”

Garcia's words ended here, when his eyes were fixed on the words on the paper, the fortress commander's face changed slightly, and then he stopped the movement in his hand, carefully stared at the plan and drawing book handed by Lijie, and then began to slowly flip through it, at this moment, the face of this "red fox" was completely free of the previous frivolity and teasing, replaced by unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.

There was silence in the war conference room, only the sound of Garcia turning the paper, and Lijie stood quietly beside him, holding the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, looking at the commander in front of him a little nervously——— time passed minute by minute, until a long time later, Garcia "snapped" Lijie's plan and drew the book, and then he turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him with an unprecedented serious gaze.

"Is this a plan you came up with? Miss Spirit? ”

"Yes, Commander Dajin, I've already thought about it, the other party obviously doesn't intend to take the fortress, they just want to contain us, because behind us is the Pafield Plains, as long as we are restrained, so that we can't send troops to stop their White Spoon's next move, then their White Spoon's purpose will be achieved. So for that, we have to be prepared. ”

"So, that's what you're prepared for?"

"Yes, Commander Dairi."

“………………………”

Hearing Lizzie's answer, Garcia fell silent again, and only after a moment did he reach out his finger and point on the plan.

"Although your plan is very good, and I also believe in the strength of your guild, and I do believe in this plan book very much, however, this plan is not perfect......... Miss Spirit, don't you think you're overlooking? And this is a very fatal vulnerability for us. If you can't make me aware of that, then I can't agree with your actions. ”

Hearing Garcia's inquiry, Lijie did not hesitate uncharacteristically, but nodded in confirmation.

"As you said, I am a little lacking in this plan, but the commander is very in. But about that part, I'm not unprepared, Miss Seven Love has already gone looking for help......... I can assure you, Commander Dairi, that one will be able to accomplish this mission successfully. This is Mr. Rhodes's proposal, and I think there is absolutely no problem. ”
