A Million Possible

"General! The snow beasts are gathering!"

Fort No. 5, the command center.

The highest commander here, the real power figure of the Dungeon Resistance Corps, and the eighth rank powerhouse Katru stationed here.

When dawn broke and the sky brightened in the early morning, the sentry on the observatory immediately noticed the abnormal movement of the snow beast.

"Assemble? It seems that the Snow Beast King finally sensed something... Sure enough, this matter cannot be concealed. The Ninth-Rank has fallen, and at such a distance, it is impossible for the Ninth-Rank Beast King to be unaware."

General Catroux smiled bitterly and shook his head. His blond hair looked dull because of sleepless nights, and his sturdy face was also full of sadness in the past.

He had expected this result long ago.

It's been two years.

The dungeon humans and the Snow Beast Legion have been facing each other for a full two years!

In the past two years, the reason why the stability of the battle can be guaranteed is not because of the bravery of the human soldiers, but because the dungeon has the 9th rank!

Beastmaster is the ninth rank.

Human beings also have ninth rank powerhouses in charge!

It is precisely because of this that the battle has always been stalemate. The two top powerhouses confronted each other and have never made a move since the match two years ago.

Neither the Beastmaster nor the Ninth-Rank dared to end easily, but everyone knew that it was precisely because the two checks and balances that they could barely maintain such a situation.

In other words, the Beastmaster is too costly to fight to the death, otherwise, where can we wait for two years? As early as two years ago, perhaps the dungeon was already destroyed!

And today...

The fall of the ninth rank of humanity also means that the balance of confrontation has been broken.

The Beastmaster no longer has any scruples. Next, as long as the Beastmaster takes action and launches a general attack, Fortress No. 5 will usher in a fierce battle.

The entire camp has been buoyant, but within two years of buffering, although a new Ninth Stage has not been born, with the firepower of the entire fortress and the invention of new energy weapons, Katlu is confident to resist a Ninth Stage!

Even... If you are lucky, you may not be able to kill the Beastmaster with weapons!

"Are you going to launch an attack? Order! Implement No. 1 plan immediately! All the staff are ready to meet the enemy!" Katlu decisively ordered.

However, next, the reports of his subordinates made Katlu bewildered.

"General, they did not attack, but... seem to have pulled up a defensive formation!"

"Defense? Take me to see!"

Catrou was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered, he walked quickly to the nearest observatory and lay on the telescope. With the help of the lens, he could clearly see the scene on the snowy field.

Assemble defense.

Sure enough, it is a gathering of defenses, but why is this?

"General! It is detected that the psionic content is rapidly rising nearby, for unknown reasons!"

Suddenly, someone reported urgently.

The psionic content increases abnormally? Snow beasts assembled?

These two weird phenomena made Katlu very confused, but after a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something.

He shuddered suddenly, his eyes widened, staring at the correspondent, and asked: "How much is the psionic concentration? How much is it? Show me the data!"

The correspondent was terrified, and soon, the Resistance Army's inspection department sent a copy of the inspection data to him.

As soon as he saw that form, Katlu's face suddenly paled!

This dignified eighth rank powerhouse, the leader of the entire dungeon legion, his body shook subconsciously, as if his mind had been hit hard!

Katlu screamed in his heart: Advance! Advance!

As a high-rank player, he naturally knows that this data model means that there are strong players in the vicinity who are advancing!

And looking around, the only thing that can be guessed is the King of Snow Beasts!

The beast king who is equivalent to the ninth rank of human beings is going to be promoted again?

How can this be? What a coincidence?

Do not!

It wasn't a coincidence that Katlu instantly realized that the Beastmaster might have been ready to make a breakthrough promotion, but he was worried that it would be interrupted by the Ninth-Rank of human beings, so it was delayed until now.

"How could it...how could it..."

Katru murmured, his eyes lost, this news is too shocking, what's above the 9th rank? He doesn't know, but he knows that once the Beastmaster is successfully promoted, the defense of Fort No. 5 will become a layer of window paper, and it will not be able to cause any obstruction to the Beastmaster!

And once Fort No. 5 is lost, the passage to the dungeon is opened, and the Snow Beast Army breaks in. At that time, it will be a disaster for countless humans in the entire dungeon!

"No, maybe the data is wrong, the data is wrong! Come here! Contact the dungeon headquarters immediately and ask them to immediately notify the rest of the fortresses for joint verification and calculation! I want the most accurate data! Also...notify them, Xue Beast The king may be promoted!"

Catroux shouted, paused, and then suddenly shouted: "Pete Durand! You immediately take people out to investigate the situation and report it to me!"

"Yes!"A young man with a red nose came out from the crowd. He was wearing an officer's uniform and his face was heavy and calm. He was no longer as green as he was two years ago.

After clicking on two people, he immediately walked out of the fortress filled with sorrow and tension and went down the mountain.

...

It was cold and cold outside the fortress.

Pete didn't seem to be afraid. In two years, he was promoted to the third rank Cultivation Base like a rocket, perhaps to avenge his colleague who died. In the battle with the snow beast, he was extremely brave and became a reconnaissance force. Sir.

Two years of fighting is enough to make a complete transformation.

Bend down, hidden his body by the terrain, and approached the snow beast army in the distance.

Wearing a white combat uniform, he raised his head and looked at the flying snow all over the sky, his heart heavy.

"Boss, what the general called just now...is it true?" a brown-haired young man following him couldn't help but ask.

Pete looked at him and smiled comfortingly: "What do you mean?"

"Will the Beastmaster really advance again? Wouldn't it be stronger? Our Ninth-Rank has fallen, can we...can we stop it?" Another warrior also worried.

Sorrow filled the fortress, as did fear.

"Why can't it?" Pete was a little serious, and he said very seriously, "Rank 9 is not terrible, it will be injured, and it will be painful in the face of artillery fire. What's more, our fortress has been so strong in the past two years, Xue Beast It’s been a long, long time since I rushed in. What are you worried about? Worried about it becoming stronger? Hey, this is still unscrupulous. Who knows why the psionic energy fluctuates? Maybe it is the Beastmaster giving birth to children. Don’t be so pessimistic!"

The soldier couldn't help saying: "The Beastmaster is male...how can you give birth..."

Pete glared at him: "How do you know it's a male? Have you touched it?"

"Haha." Someone laughed.

The soldier blushed and said stiffly: "But you haven't touched the boss, so how can you be sure that it is female."

Pete laughed and said, "Because my grandfather Durand is an excellent veterinarian! This is family inheritance, understand you?"

Everyone smiled upon hearing the words.

When he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot lighter, and the tension in the hearts of the soldiers also dissipated.

Seeing the effect, Pete continued to comfort him: "Besides, even if it really advances, what is it afraid of? Our fortress can definitely stop it. Even if things get to the worst, they may not turn around. It's like... two Years ago, the day the Snow Beast just arrived..."

With that, Pete suddenly fell into a memory.

A mysterious face of an oriental man in a black trench coat appeared in his mind.

Although it has been two years, the figure is still firmly embedded in Pete’s mind and has never been forgotten. At the beginning, he had fallen into despair. It was the figure who came out to save him and reminded the dungeon in time. Otherwise, the city has already fallen.

Unfortunately, since that day, he has never seen that figure again.

"Perhaps... he has already left."

"If he is... No, no matter how strong he is, he should be only a mid-rank practitioner, at most a high-rank practitioner. I am afraid that even General Catroux is not as good as General Catroux. What can he do even if he is here? Is he still capable? Can't the enemy beast king?"

Pete looked at the vast land, staring at the increasing wind and snow, thinking in his heart, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

...

Paris in old days, ruins today.

At the top of the tallest building, Cheng Lin read the mission information in his mind several times to confirm that he had read it correctly.

So he showed a weird look.

"Are you crazy? You want me to kill the Beastmaster? That Beastmaster is now a ninth-rank and will soon be promoted to the realm of the emperor. What about me? Even the third rank is a little bit close. Even the five-core puppet is of no use. Together, we can't even break through the snow beast's defensive circle."

"Yes, I know that I can rebirth indefinitely during the deduction without pain... But this does not mean that I can grind it to death. Do you remember the awakened tiger I encountered in the primeval forest? Cut it with a knife and died so many times, only to scare it away."

"It can run, even if the Beastmaster is motionless, let me chop slowly, assuming I can break its defenses, how long will it take? When I chop its capillaries, they will have successfully advanced. "

Cheng Lin said slowly into the air.

After speaking, he spread his hands: "So, obviously, this is an impossible task, just like the last time you asked me to solve the puzzle. Okay, now please tell me where the'key' is. I don't want to waste time. ."

Wait until he finally finishes.

The program was silent for a while, seeming to wonder why Cheng Lin didn't try to hack and hack it, but in view of the fact that this was indeed an unsolvable task, after twisting it, it finally injected a piece of information into Cheng Lin's mind.

After a while, Cheng Lin finished reading.

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes were a little weird, and... eager to try, "Can it be like this? Then... OK."

He laughed, then put his hands on the edge of the building, and his whole body fell.

Like a pitch-black leaf, falling from the top of a building hundreds of meters high.

"puff."

Falling into a ball of blood.

...

...

In Fort No. 5.

The tense atmosphere is permeated, everyone is busy, but they don't seem to know what they should be busy with. They can only wipe the combat equipment over and over again, as if the brighter they are, the greater the winning rate.

Commander Katlu paced back in the camp, feeling extremely anxious.

He regrets a little bit. He was emotionally excited before and said out the guess in his heart. This has made the hearts of the people in the big camp even more unstable, but if the guess is false, it will be nothing. If it is true, then...the same is nothing. NS.

Katlu thought sadly, and couldn't help but look at the correspondent: "Has the dungeon still not responded?"

Without a reply, he cannot be sure whether the guess in his mind is true or not, which involves the entire strategic arrangement.

After a while, the pretty correspondent was pleasantly surprised: "Come! General! A reply from the Dungeon Command Center... They asked for a video conversation with you!"

Video conversation?

"Connect!"

Katlu ordered.

"Yes!"

The correspondent acted, and suddenly, bright light and jitter appeared on the hanging screen in the room. Due to the signal, the wireless transmission between the surface and the ground was very bad. This video was connected by a wired method and consumed every second. A lot of energy.

The "snowflakes" neighed on the screen for a few seconds, and finally, a fluctuating image appeared.

Katlu didn't care at first, but when he saw the picture in the image clearly, he straightened his waist and saluted the army, saying: "City Lord! Why are you here?"

Yes, on the other side of the screen, what appeared was the highest actual ruler of the dungeon.

It's not just him, behind him, there are still more than a dozen congressmen standing!

This means that the city lord and the big figures of the council have all come to the underground headquarters!

This sends a very bad signal.

Katlu's heart sank.

On the screen.

The city lord with white temples was looking at ground commander Katlu with an unprecedented solemn expression, separated by a few kilometers of network cable.

After a while, Cheng advocated opening his mouth, and then the voice came out of the microphone, a bit distorted, but low enough:

"General Katlu! Just now, the general headquarters ordered all the ground fortresses to jointly calculate the psionic problem. After several analyses, it has been determined that the Beastmaster is about to be promoted!"

Hearing this news, Katlu's body shook again, and sure enough...is it true...

The voice of the city lord continued:

"The headquarters notified the council and me, and we know what it means.

Relying on the defensive facilities of the current fortress, it can only compete against the Ninth-Rank Beastmaster. If it is operated properly, there may not be no hope of killing it.

but!

If the Beastmaster succeeds in qualifying! Then, according to the analysis, the fortress will have no resistance to it!

Once the fortress is occupied, the underground city will encounter a fatal crisis!

You know what this means!

After discussion by all members of the parliament, we now announce the final decision. Please immediately organize all soldiers to evacuate and return to the dungeon! After that, we will implement the ‘topping plan’! "

Cap plan?

The moment he heard this word, Katlu's expression changed drastically, and he no longer cared about etiquette, just said loudly: "Capped? Is this really going to happen?"

"This is the last way! And the only way to live!"

The lord said in a deep voice.

"But...but..."

Katlu faces grief.

He naturally knows what the "capping plan" means.

That was a crazy plan developed by the dungeon. Once the ground is completely lost and the Snow Beast Crisis Dungeon comforts, it will detonate all the forts on the ground at the same time!

Yes, detonate!

During the introduction, all the fortresses will collapse, and the bottom layer will collapse, completely blocking the passage!

However, this also means that the "vents" are blocked!

In the past two years, for this plan, the underground city has dug a long and long tunnel, which leads to a long distance to the ground, enough to avoid the snow beasts.

However, there is only one such "ventilation tunnel", which can supply very limited oxygen.

In the life of the dungeon, in addition to breathing, it also needs combustion for heating, and combustion requires oxygen!

This also means that oxygen will not be able to meet the needs of people and flames.

Therefore, the final result is that the entire dungeon, only a small area where the passage is mastered can barely survive-by establishing an air isolation zone.

The human beings in the rest of the city will be abandoned, suffocated or starved to death due to lack of energy!

In other words, once the "topping plan" is implemented, the entire dungeon will have at least three quarters of the population Death!

"No! We have another way!" Catroux suddenly shouted, "As long as we can interrupt its promotion and let it fail the promotion!"The city lord over the screen shook his head silently.

A well-dressed congressman behind him said: "General Catrou, this is not feasible. Now that the Snow Beast Legion has completely formed a defensive posture, we can't break through the defensive circle to interrupt it. Besides...

Is interrupting really useful? Who knows? Perhaps it is useless at all. It kills the soldier and then continues to be promoted. What should I do? "

Catlu angrily said: "How can I know if I don't try it?"

He was furious.

He understands what the congressmen are thinking about. As big people, they are not worried about suffocation. Even if others die, they will not die. At most, the quality of life will decline, but it is better than the mouth of a dead snow beast. too much.

Most of the people killed by the capping plan were civilians, and this group of "nobles" would not be harmed at all.

As a matter of fact, as a Rank 8 powerhouse and the commander of the Resistance Army, Katlu is also a "big man", but his father is a commoner, he happened to be awakened, so he became a big man, if he hadn't awakened at the beginning, then he was also given up today. One of the civilians!

As a result, he was particularly angry.

However, reason told him that this was the only way to survive. Compared to everyone being eaten by the snow beasts, it was clear that giving up the majority and surviving the few was a sensible move.

"General Catrou...This is the last resort. For the continuation of civilization, we can only do this. We can't break through the snow beast's defensive circle. No one can do it. The snowy field is their home field. We have no hope, even if it is. You, you are an eighth rank strong, and there is only one dead end to go! Don't make fearless sacrifices, please execute the order as soon as possible." The city lord said.

Catrou was silent.

Yes, they have no hope. Only practitioners can walk through the snowy field, and even if they gather all the practitioners, he will not be able to break through the defensive circle.

Is the eighth product strong?

Very strong, but there are also several beasts that are equivalent to Rank 8 among the Snow Beasts!

The snow field is their home ground, human beings... there is no hope.

Katlu's fist was clenched and loosened, and in the end, it turned into a desolate sigh.

"Order……"

He said in a desperate voice. "Order, everyone, gather, and return to the dungeon."

Compared to those civilians... the Resistance Army is more valuable and should not be abandoned, but can survive.

Katlu smiled silently, he couldn't save human beings, so at least...save own subordinates.

However, at this moment, on the observation platform not far away, a soldier suddenly exclaimed: "General! Come and see! Someone! Someone is approaching the Snow Beast Army!"

"What?! Who is it? Is it Pete and the others? Order them to retreat immediately, it is too dangerous there!"

"No! Not Pete! But... a... a stranger! His clothes... definitely not ours!" the soldier shouted.

Not ours?

Who is that again?

Katlu was taken aback, rushed over, raised his binoculars, The next moment, he saw that a thin man in a black trench coat and a top hat appeared in the lens, with the help of a high-magnification lens and an eight-tier strong With his eyesight, he can even see clearly that the other party seems to be... Oriental?

How could there be an Oriental walking in the snowy field?

Wearing so little, walking in a blizzard, approaching the snow beast...

What is he going to do?

At the next moment, Katlu clearly saw that a weapon suddenly appeared in the right hand of the oriental man, which looked like a sword!

He carried the sword and walked peacefully through the snowy field.

At this moment, Katlu suddenly woke up.

"He, he is going to enter the Snow Beast defensive circle? This...how is it possible? I can't do it, he must be a lunatic who doesn't know where he came from!"

Although I think so.

But for some reason, Katlu still held the binoculars firmly, looking at the figure of the follower, as if...expecting something.

...

"Boss? Boss? What are you looking at?"

In a pit in the snowfield, the scouts lay there.

A soldier suddenly noticed that Captain Own was stunned by the pit. The Captain said just now that he wanted to look up and see the situation. As a result, he stopped moving.

"Boss? What did you see?"

Several soldiers were very curious, but because of orders, they dared not get up to look.

At this moment, Peter, who was lying next to the snow pit, was just startled, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar shadow not far away in the wind and snow in disbelief.

He was inexplicably shocked and couldn't help but wipe his eyes. It was not an illusion, it was real!

But... how is it possible?

"It's him? It's him... it's him!"

Pete roared in his heart: "He... is back again!!!"
