In the past, the third elder might have given in. After all, everyone knew his temper.
But at this critical moment, especially when outsiders like the main hall are present, the third elder will never give in.
This is an issue related to one's own face. The third elder said coldly: "Isn't what I said clear enough? Since you want to hear it again, okay, then I will say it again. Please listen to me clearly."
"Is it because you and your men are incompetent and suffered a defeat, and then you pretended to be pretentious in front of us?"
The second elder was completely furious and raised his hand directly to strike: "You bastard, I have been on the battlefield for many years. When have I ever been afraid? If you insult me too much, I will kill you."
"enough."
The great elder shouted angrily: "You two, have you had enough quarreling? In front of the palace master and the two special envoys, are you still shameless?"
After suffering a defeat, one's own people started fighting with one's own people again. This was extremely embarrassing.
"Let go of them all."
As the First Elder shouted angrily, the anger of the Second Elder and the Third Elder was instantly extinguished. In both public and private matters, the two of them were still somewhat afraid of the First Elder.
The second elder let go of the third elder: "Palace Master, don't listen to the nonsense of the third elder. I guarantee my personality and life. In this attack, whether it is myself or a group of soldiers, everyone will People are absolutely right to move forward courageously.”
"It's just that after the general offensive was launched just now, we really didn't think that the enemy's capabilities were not only not weakened, but also launched a counterattack against us when we attacked."
"We made a mistake in strategy and strength all of a sudden, and we were so passive that we were suddenly in chaos. Please be aware of this."
The Great Elder also hurriedly bent down, bowed and said: "Palace Master, Commander-in-Chief, I also participated in the front-line attack, and I also guarantee with my personality and life that everything the Second Elder said is true."
Xu Long frowned. He actually knew the four elders very well. Judging from the current situation, the first elder, second elder and third elder did not seem to be lying.
"The noise caused by the third elder on the top of the mountain was very loud. Under such a large-scale bombardment, I also believe that the enemy's river will inevitably be interrupted."
"He had no need to lie."
After finishing speaking, Xu Long looked at the first elder and the second elder again: "The attack by the first elder and the second elder is also quite large. I also believe that they are attacking with all their strength."
"This can also be seen from the aura of the sailors after they chased them out of the ancient tomb."
If the other party is just forcibly supporting, no matter what aspect of energy and spirit, it is impossible to be so full.
"So, what Palace Master Xu means is that none of your two waves of men lied, but Rashomon appeared strangely." The special envoy smiled coldly and said: "Palace Master Xu, do you think we are fools? "
The leading envoy also nodded: "Palace Master Xu, what happened happened, your current rhetoric is actually meaningless. What we want is to find out the reason for this defeat as soon as possible."
Xu Long did not refute, but looked at the fourth elder and the first elder: "What do you two think about this matter? Could it be that there are other rivers in this ancient tomb?"
Only this possibility can perfectly explain the weirdness of everything that happened.
"Or is it that Han Sanqian and his gang had already anticipated that we would blow up their water source, so they had stored a lot of water in the ancient tomb in advance?"
The fourth elder frowned: "Palace Master, what the Water Palace said is that water can maintain combat effectiveness, but just like fish need water, the meaning of stagnant water actually does not add much to sailors."
"They need the power in the water. If a reservoir is used to store water to supply the sailors' abilities, then how big is the reservoir?"
"My subordinates don't think there is any space in this ancient tomb to create such a huge reservoir that can supply so many sailors."
After hearing the fourth elder's analysis, Xu Long nodded. This was indeed the truth.
"Then based on this analysis, there is only the first possibility left, that is, they have other water sources?"
