If it was before, the Third Elder might have backed down, after all, everyone knew his temper.
But at such a critical moment, especially when there were still outsiders like the General Hall, the Third Elder would never give in.
It was a matter of one’s own face, the Third Elder’s voice was cold, “Did I not say it clearly enough, since you want to hear it again, fine, then I will say it again, listen to me clearly.”
“Is it that you yourself and your own men are no good, and have suffered a defeat, and then you are pretending in front of us?”
The second elder was completely furious, directly raising his hand in a gesture to hit, “You bast*rd, I have been crossing the sands for many years, when did I ever wimp out, you insulted me too much, I’ll kill you.”
“Enough.”
The Grand Elder angrily bellowed, “You two, have you had enough of arguing, in front of the Hall Master, and also in front of the two envoys, you are still
want face or not?”
Having suffered a defeat, his own people had infighting with his own people, this was simply as humiliating as it could be.
“All of you loosen up.”
As the Grand Elder let out a furious shout, the fire bubbling up in the Second Elder and Third Elder instantly extinguished quite a bit, in public and private, the two were still more or less fearful of the Grand Elder.
The second elder let go of the third elder, ”Hall Master, don’t listen to the third elder’s nonsense. I’ll vouch for it with my personality and my life, in this attack battle, whether it’s my subordinate himself or my subordinate’s group of soldiers, every single one of them is absolutely absolutely courageous.”
“It’s just that just now, after the general attack was launched, we really didn’t think that the enemy’s ability not only didn’t diminish, but also launched a counter-charge against us while we were attacking.”
“We were wrong in both strategy and strength at once, to the point of being very passive, which
is why we were so disorganised for a time, so please be clear.”
The Grand Elder also hurriedly bent on a waist, bowed and said, “Hall Master, Chief Commander, I also participated in the frontline attack, I also guarantee with my personality and life that what the Second Elder said, every word is true.”
Xu Long frowned, the four elders were actually all very well known to him, from the situation at hand, the first elder, the second elder and the third elder did not look like they were lying.
“The commotion that the Third Elder made on top of the mountain was very large, and under such a scale of bombardment, I also believe that the enemy’s river is bound to be interrupted.”
“There is no need for him to lie.”
As the words fell, Xu Long looked at the Grand Elder and the Second Elder again, “The Grand Elder and the Second Elder’s attacks are also quite large in scale, and I also believe that they are attacking with all their might.”
“This can also be seen from the fact that after the water soldiers in the ancient tomb chased them out just now
, that aura on the sailors can be glimpsed.”
If the other party was just forcibly supporting themselves, no matter which aspect of their essence, they could not be that full.
“So, what Temple Master Xu means is that neither of your men from the two waves lied, but there was a bizarre Rashomon.” That envoy gave a cold, disdainful laugh, “Hall Master Xu, are you treating us as fools?”
The head envoy nodded as well, “Hall Master Xu, what happened is what happened, your current rhetoric like this is actually meaningless, what we want is to find out the reason for this defeat as soon as possible.”
Xu Long did not refute and looked towards the Fourth Elder as well as the Grand Elder, “What do you two think about this matter, could it be that, there are other rivers in this ancient tomb?”
Only this possibility could perfectly explain the strangeness of everything that had happened in this.
“Or is it that Han Sanqian and his gang had already anticipated that we would bomb their water source, so they had already stored quite a bit of water in the ancient tomb in advance?”
The Fourth Elder frowned, “Hall Master, the Water Palace talks a good game about having water to keep fighting, but just like a fish needs water, the significance of stagnant water actually doesn’t add much to the water soldiers.”
“They need the power inside the water. If it’s a cistern storing water to carry out the supply of the sailors’ abilities, then how big would the cistern have to be.”
“My subordinate doesn’t think that there is any space inside this ancient tomb to make a cistern that is so huge and can supply so many sailors.”
Hearing the Fourth Elder’s analysis, Xu Long nodded, it was indeed such a reasoning.
“Then, according to this analysis, there is only the first possibility left, which is that they have other water sources?”
