Chapter 9: Icewind Dale and Parting Ways (2)
"That's right!" Facing Ding Yanzhi's question, Chen Qiaojun nodded without any hesitation and said solemnly, "Our Zhongzhou team is no better than your two teams. Although we have more people, our overall strength is weaker, so I can't risk going to the dungeon and In Atlantis, the only way to survive is to use the power of Icewind Valley to intimidate the Celestials."
"Then our alliance..." Chen Weijia frowned slightly and asked in question.
Yao Ruoyu touched the bridge of his nose and smiled calmly: "Of course it will continue to exist. You may plan to move forward. In that case, you can keep some weak players and newcomers. No matter what, our alliance can continue to exist. , we can also help you protect these people.”
Ding Yanzhi smiled faintly after hearing this and nodded: "Since the Central Continent Team plans to stay here, we certainly can't force it. However, although the dungeon and Atlantis are dangerous, they are also full of opportunities. The reward points and branch lines obtained There will definitely be no shortage of drama, and besides, our Beihai team doesn’t have a new player in this game, so we definitely have to keep moving forward.”
The Zhongzhou Team and the Beihai Team had already announced that they were going their separate ways. Chen Weijia hesitated unconsciously. She looked at Zhang Cheng and saw that the latter shook his head slightly, so she understood and said coldly: "This matter is too important. I don’t have a clue at the moment, so let’s let our Xihai team wait until we settle down in the palace before making a decision.”
"That's good, at least our alliance can be maintained for a while longer," Chen Qiaojun smiled sweetly and said softly, "If what we discussed before happens to really exist, then I believe there will be a battle in a while."
"Then get ready!" After Ding Yanzhi finished speaking, he stood up and walked straight towards Xiao Ling, who was eating barbecue in the distance.
Chen Qiaojun smiled slightly, but Yao Ruoyu's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Queen, how do you plan to take advantage of Icewind Valley?"
Suddenly hearing Yao Ruoyu's voice, Chen Qiaojun was startled at first, but he quickly calmed down and smiled casually: "Why are you suddenly asking about my layout? Aren't you usually only responsible for the implementation?"
"Because I am the captain of the Zhongzhou team, I am responsible for the lives of everyone in the team." Yao Ruoyu became unusually serious and replied in a deep voice.
Chen Qiaojun was silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed and nodded: "Okay, since you want to know...but, captain, I want to ask you a question, in order to survive, are you willing to sacrifice strangers?"
Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this. He stared straight at Chen Qiaojun, his throat rolled a few times, and after a long while he asked as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Sacrifice... a stranger?"
"Yes! If one day you have to sacrifice strangers if you want to survive, then...are you willing?" Chen Qiaojun asked softly.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu's solemn silence, Chen Qiaojun said quietly: "Actually, I can say it more noblely. For example, in order to protect the majority of people, we have to choose to sacrifice a small number of people, but I don't want to say that, because in essence In fact, it’s the same, they both sacrifice others to let themselves survive..."
"Needless to say!" Waving his hand, Yao Ruoyu said solemnly, "Zhang Ziqiang and I had argued about this issue back then, and to this day, my answer remains the same... The reason why I am in this hell-like world of reincarnation I am struggling to survive in the ordinary world, and I still haven’t given up hope, just to live up to the trust that has no benefits at all!”
"Pang brother and the others trust me and trust me to integrate into this team... Cai Cai trusts me and trusts me to lead this team... If they trust me, then I will naturally pay ten times more than the trust I have received in return. But I will show no mercy to strangers..."
"Queen, if you need to sacrifice strangers to allow yourself and this team to survive, then...my answer is that I am willing to sacrifice. I don't care what the wishes of those strangers are. I will sacrifice them in exchange for my own safety. Would betray that trust.”
"Well..." Chen Qiaojun sighed quietly, "After all, we are just ants in this world, and we can only struggle to survive. Maybe you will feel better if you say this."
"What a bastard!" Yao Ruoyu glared at her angrily, and quickly recovered his mood, saying in a deep voice, "Tell me! Why do you suddenly ask me, does your layout require the sacrifice of other strangers?"
"Yes! Sacrifice is needed..." A helpless smile appeared on Chen Qiaojun's lips, and he said lightly, "I need Icewind Valley to help us, not the limited help from the top, but the entire Icewind Valley, up to Nobles, down to the common people, all are willing to help us.”
"What are you going to do?" Yao Ruoyu seemed to have made a decision, and his voice became serious.
The usually gentle voice disappeared, replaced by a rich coldness. Chen Qiaojun said solemnly, "According to the plot, after we enter the palace, we will go through a series of things, and finally join the army to help resist the demons. But after At this time, I will find a way to let the power of the demons penetrate the Icewind Valley defense line and enter the interior of Icewind Valley..."
Let the demons invade the interior of the kingdom? Yao Ruoyu shuddered subconsciously when he thought of this. He knew very well that with the ferocious and cruel temperament of the demons, once they entered the interior of the kingdom, they would definitely cause a bloody storm.
"For a long time, the demons have been resisted by the army on the front line. The civilians have no way to understand the terror of the demons at close range. The nobles may understand, but since there are soldiers to resist, they will not pay too much attention to the demons' attack... …In this case, it is difficult for us to get help from everyone in Icewind Dale.”
"So, I need to use a massacre, a real massacre from the demon clan, to let them fight from the front line to the capital of the kingdom, and use blood to wake up all the civilians and nobles, let them understand the danger of the kingdom, and let them Understand how terrifying the demons are..."
"Kill a city and wake up a country!" Inexplicably, Yao Ruoyu thought of this sentence and couldn't help but murmured it.
Chen Qiaojun bit his silver teeth lightly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it means killing a city and awakening a country... I need to use this massacre to make the entire Icewind Valley unite and unite everyone's wishes."
Shocked by Chen Qiaojun's "cruelty", Yao Ruoyu wondered for a long time: "But even if everyone in Icewind Valley unites their will to fight against the demons, why do you want to get the power of Icewind Valley to us?" Where’s the inside of your hand?”
"With the hope of survival!"
Chen Qiaojun's eyes lit up and he explained: "When the demons were about to invade the capital, the nobles and civilians were eager to survive, but the troops on the front line had no time to return, and the surrounding armies were not enough to fight against the demons. At this time … Everyone will be in despair.”
"At this time, as long as we stand up and tell them that Icewind Valley actually has a passage that can directly enter the Lost Tower, and we are willing to sacrifice ourselves and form a death squad to assassinate the Demon King Quinton, what will they do?"
When Yao Ruoyu heard this, he subconsciously replied: "It must be to find the passage from Icewind Valley to the Lost Tower at all costs, and then to help us assassinate Quinton at all costs... I understand!"
"Well, yes, Icewind Valley is so big. Instead of running around like headless flies, we should use the power of a kingdom to search for the so-called passage, and then... use their power to form a powerful magic force. Army, follow us into the Lost Tower to kill the Demon King Quinton."
"You should want to kill the God Team more, right?" Yao Ruoyu mocked, shaking his head with a half-smile.
Smiling as if nothing had happened, Chen Qiaojun replied: "Anything is fine, of course it would be best to be able to deal with the Celestial Team, but at most I hope to use the magic army to frighten the Celestial Team, so that we can ensure that we will not be attacked by them, and then When the four teams enter the Lost Tower together and complete the horror movie, they can directly return to the main god space."
"And where is the Icewind Valley Kingdom? And where is Musha?" Looking at Chen Qiaojun, Yao Ruoyu hesitated for a moment and said solemnly, "Queen, I have said before that I am willing to sacrifice those innocent strangers, but I am not willing to I betrayed the trust others placed in me, do you understand?"
Chen Qiaojun's face turned pale inexplicably, and he slowly lowered his head and said softly: "I know, I know... I won't let you betray those trusts, and I won't let the sacrifices of those people be of no use..."
"You don't understand what I mean!" Yao Ruoyu reached out and patted her on the shoulder, smiling, "I'm referring to you when I let you down! Cai Cai, you, Zhang Ziqiang, Rabbit, Ronger, Fatty, Yang Renjie, you guys These partners, you trust me when you are willing to join my team, and I will not betray the trust of each of you."
"Maybe you know, maybe you don't know, these are what Rabbit told me later... The last horror movie before you entered the world of reincarnation was the one where the Zhongzhou team was destroyed in the previous generation. At that time, the team The wise man here is Dong Xiaoshuai, and Sister Shuai faced the same situation as you at that time."
"But she is even more miserable than you, because she chooses to sacrifice not strangers, but friends, like Caicai and the others... But in order for most of her friends to survive, she chooses to sacrifice a few of her friends, and even more so Everything is put on my shoulders, and I have to bear all the sins and ugliness alone..."
"But she doesn't know that we are partners! We are comrades who can trust each other during the battle, fight together, and persevere together until today! You have your own concerns, so you don't dare to tell the truth. , but you have to know that no matter what, all of us will believe in your plan!"
"Because we are partners!"
