Chapter six hundred and forty-eight new waterway seven people
"Boss, the Devil's Strait is ahead. Will there really be rebels ambushing our transport fleet this time? The deputy leader has strictly ordered us not to reveal our identities at will. Wouldn't it be bad to fight the rebels head-on like this?
?”
There are seven people in the team. The leader is Lin Wei, who is only about twenty years old. He has blue hair, starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and is full of heroism. He has a decapitation sword on his back, which seems to be of great weight.
The one who spoke was his companion on the left, named Guo Da. He had neat short hair and two full-moon scimitars. His slender figure clearly followed a fighting style that pursued speed.
"Hmph, the deputy leader has always looked down on us. We have inherited the title of the Seven Water Paths for so long, but he has never arranged to carry out the task. It is clear that he does not recognize our strength. I just want to show it to him and let him know.
The seven of us are definitely stronger than the previous generation who died inexplicably."
Lin Wei frowned, and then yelled at his companions. It turned out that these seven people were the new generation of the Guixu Sect's seven members of the Waterway.
As a team composed entirely of monks under the age of twenty-five, the Seven have always been the idols and role models for the young disciples of the Guixu Sect. In the past hundred years, a certain Seven has often fallen, followed by other outstanding young people.
Disciple goes up.
But when the seven people of the previous generation participated in the fight for the Fuxi clan's treasure, they were all wiped out by Su Fenqiao, and all seven of them died in battle. This was the first time that this happened, so the dilemma of chronology arose.
In order to boost the morale of the young disciples in the sect, the selection of the new generation of the Seven Water Daoists was quickly launched, and the seven people in front of them were selected through many layers of selection and stood out. They were under the age of 25 in the Guixu Sect.
The most outstanding disciple.
But even though he is already the most outstanding young monk, compared with the previous seven people, whether it is cultivation, combat experience, or skills in walking in the fairy world, he is much younger.
The senior leaders of the Guixu Sect are very aware of this, so they have never sent any serious tasks to the Seven New Water Paths. After all, if there is another total annihilation, it will be too heavy a blow to the confidence of the young disciples in the sect.
, nor is it in line with the development interests of the entire sect.
Therefore, rather than saying that the Seven People of New Water Path are role models for the talented disciples of the Guixu Sect, it is more like saying that they are the mascots used by its senior officials to stabilize the morale of the military.
The Guixu Sect does not need them to fight life and death, it only requires them to stand up and call out when necessary, so that the young disciples in the sect can follow suit and "selflessly contribute" to the cause of the leader.
But the senior leaders of the Guixu Sect have overlooked one point, that is, young people, especially young monks, always dream of achieving great achievements and being admired by thousands of people, and the Seven People of New Water Path are no exception.
Although they were strictly restricted from going out by the deputy leader, the seven of them still took advantage of the chaos caused by the destruction of Guixu Hailao and found an opening to sneak out. The purpose was to make some "achievements" and reverse the attitude towards them within the church in one fell swoop.
With its views and positioning, it truly secures its reputation as the Seven People in the Waterway.
"Boss is right, we must clear our names. Don't say that those elders yell at us on weekdays. Even ordinary disciples don't take us seriously. Not only do they show no respect, they often mock us behind our backs.
They are nothing more than trash with only appearance, they are nothing more than clowns compared to the seven members of the previous generation."
The person who spoke in agreement was a young girl with short brown hair, wearing a light red lolita suit. From the appearance, she was not even twenty years old. Her name was Angela, and she was a loyal supporter of Lin Wei among the seven. Hey, she will unconditionally support whatever decision the other party makes.
"Boss and Sister An are right, but we can't be too blindly optimistic. We must be fully prepared in terms of intelligence, and then formulate a perfect plan. Only in this way can we win in one battle and defeat those who look down on us. People are convinced."
A young man with black hair and a white feather fan in his hand said slowly. His name was Zhuge Zhi. He was the intellectual leader among the seven members of the new generation of Shuidao. He was usually known for his calmness and resourcefulness. Now he spoke. It was also recognized by Lin Wei and other companions.
"I have verified the information about this ambush many times and it is extremely credible. However, it is still unknown which cadre's team will take action. Based on the route of the transport fleet and the area it passed through, I made some bold decisions. According to my guess, Devil's Canyon will be the first ambush point, but there shouldn't be any big fish here, so it's very suitable for us to counterattack."
Zhuge Zhi unfolded a map of the nearby sea area, pointed to the direction of Devil's Strait and said.
"Wait a minute, you said the first ambush point. Did the resistance army also set up other ambush locations? Probably not. They have limited resources. If they want to successfully ambush the transport fleet, they should concentrate their efforts. How come they split their forces into two groups? ?”
Hearing Zhuge Zhi's analysis, Guo Da showed a confused look. He was usually mainly responsible for intelligence investigation, but he missed such important information, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Yes, if you use normal thinking to judge it, it is indeed what you said, but this is also what the resistance wants to see. I checked all the recent weapons delivery lists in nearby waters and found that 27 of them were registered as The artillery produced by the Blacksmiths' Union disappeared in the end, so I guess that these weapons were used by the rebels to set up a second ambush point."
Zhuge Zhi shook the feather fan in his hand, looking confident, but the other six members of the Seven Waterways were all thoughtful.
"Then where is their second ambush point? Why don't we go there directly? If according to your guess, the main combat force of the resistance army should be at the second ambush point, and if we squat in Devil's Strait, we will miss the point. "
Hearing that Guo Da still didn't understand what he meant, Zhuge Zhi also sighed lightly. Although the other party was good at investigation, he was too weak in strategizing. He had no choice but to speak again to explain his thinking.
"What is the purpose of our operation this time? It is not to fight to the death with the rebels. The information is limited now. If the other party sends many cadres who have reached the Infinite Realm, can we be sure of victory?"
"So the tactics I formulated from the beginning were not intended to confront the rebels head-on. We only needed to attack at their first ambush point as a bait, then alert the transport fleet, and then work with the seniors of the escort team to resolve this incident. Ambush the crisis is already a great achievement, enough to change our reputation in the church."
After hearing this, the other seven members finally came to their senses and took the minimum risk in exchange for the maximum benefit. Zhuge Zhi's move was worthy of his title of intellectual responsibility.
The strength of the seven of them may be acceptable among the younger generation of monks, but compared with those battle-hardened resistance cadres, they are indeed far behind. Instead of taking the uncertain risk of facing hard steel, it is better to go for it.
Use force where the hemp rope is thin. Anyway, the goal is just to reverse the reputation of Guixu Cult against them. It would be best to kill a few enemies. If nothing can be done, the most important thing is to do enough superficial work.
In the end, under the constant negotiation of the seven people, a counter-shield plan, which they defined as a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, was launched.
But things didn't seem to be going in the direction they expected.
