Chapter 2975

Vanessa reached out her hand again, so silver lines marked the complete direction of the mithril vein on the sand table, emerald green light marked the location of the giant trees abnormally revived in the woodland, holy white light indicated those scattered ancient temple ruins, and red light warned of those dangerous areas that had been explored, among which the red light was brightest in White Ape Canyon where the doomsday rift was located.

The center of the irregular sand table was Vesta City, and the scattered city was expressed in the form of a grid. Besides that, important locations or functional areas such as Lake Yulun in the woodland, elf tree houses, Moon Sanctuary, hermit camps, water vein directions, train tracks, etc., were all clearly marked, which would jointly support the formulation of the next plan.

"The explored mithril veins are like the roots of giant trees, widely distributed throughout the woodland. The density is quite amazing. I suspect that the mithril reserves in other areas of the material world cannot compare to here. But even in those places where the veins are buried shallowest, the distance from the surface is quite deep."

Relying on the technology provided by the hermits in the forest, during the period when I led people to explore the veins, I could be sure that all the mithril vein branches had scattered abnormal element reactions, which should be the sleeping Paradox Worms."

The little witch Vanessa stood on the stool she just sat on to speak, and Siris, who was responsible for marking those key locations one by one during her narration, stood by:

"Because it is not yet clear where the Paradox Worms attacking the city tomorrow night will appear from, when Megan met with the Church this afternoon, the Church also expressed the idea of taking the initiative rather than waiting."

"So, the plan discussed by the Church and us is not to wait for the war to start tomorrow, but to take the initiative to detonate the key nodes of the veins to force the worms to appear in advance."

"I have already read the meeting briefing brought back by Megan. This idea is no problem, but waking up so many worms, will it attract more enemies than originally?"

Sivi asked, and Vanessa shook her head:

"This is the final battle of this woodland. If that Ancient One is not joking with us, it will definitely use all the power in its hands, so in fact, what we have to face from the beginning is so many enemies. Those that would not have awakened will not awaken just because of the vein explosion, and those that would have awakened will only be awakened in advance."

The red-haired girl also interjected:

"The Academy's research believes that the sleep of the Paradox Worms is also a kind of seal. Didn't Xia De also say that the seals left after the ancient war have not completely failed? Therefore, waking them up in advance can also make them unable to participate in the battle in the best state, which is actually a good thing."

Afterward, Vanessa continued to talk about the key explosion locations and the subsequent plans surrounding those key points. The explosion definitely did not require ordinary explosives. This time the Creation Church brought out a kind of high-explosive explosive that combined the advantages of "ancient dwarf rune explosives" and "modern bombs". It is said that this kind of explosive will cause destructive power no less than a medium earthquake when exploding underground.

If the explosion effect meets expectations, the three major academies in the forest will arrange teams to guide the awakened Paradox Worms to move away from the city. Although this will make the Academy's team face huge danger, it can also reduce the city's defense pressure as much as possible.

Of course, besides the Paradox Worms tomorrow night, there will definitely be other enemies appearing. For example, relics controlled by Paradox Worms, this is almost certain. Therefore, the Church and the Academy still have to make multiple sets of plans to deal with various possible problems.

According to Megan, the Church even made a city self-destruction plan after the city completely fell.

And under such circumstances, an unknowable-level relic will be used on the outskirts of Vesta Woodland to temporarily seal the entire woodland to prevent enemies that humans cannot confront from crawling out of the rift immediately after the city falls into the time rift. By then, no one will be able to leave, which means that everyone who joins this ultimate battle must be prepared to sacrifice.

"The defense of the city does not need our participation. Our key task is still to assist Emilia in completing the Chosen One ritual."

Sivi, who presided over the meeting, summarized. After letting everyone fully understand the arrangements of the Church and the Academy, it was Xia De's turn to make arrangements for everyone:

"The trouble we are facing now actually has two aspects: on the one hand, there are three candidates left to be defeated; on the other hand, in order to see the Ancient One, there are two monsters representing water and earth that have not been defeated."

Xia De stood up:

"These two troubles must be solved, but fortunately, the total number of enemies to face is not many: the third candidate Bennett, the Paradox Worm Keeper, the 'Clockmaker', and the final World Tree wreckage."

"But what exactly is the enemy representing 'water'?"

Bella asked Xia De, and Xia De recalled the conversation with Professor Yuke Wood in the office on a rainy evening in midsummer 1821:

"No need to care about this. I think in this era, the monster corresponding to the seat representing 'water' has not appeared at all. So either it is not needed at all, or it will be born tomorrow night."

"In short, tomorrow night, at the same time as the vein explosion outside the city, I will enter the time transit station with Emilia. It is not clear whether that invitation letter is still useful. If it is useless, we will go directly to the Accordion Hotel."

He looked at the witches:

"After Emilia and I leave tomorrow night, you need to determine the location of the Paradox Worm Keeper and the 'Clockmaker' as soon as possible. That worm will likely appear in the worm swarm, but those worms are not without wisdom, so the siege battle will appear in several waves of tides, and that worm probably won't show up at the beginning; as for the 'Clockmaker', after she defected to the Ancient One and regained her qualifications, the possibility of appearing at any location exists."

"Bella, Luvia, you stay on the ship to perform divination;"

"Vanessa, Megan, Audrey, Sivi, before Emilia and I solve Bennett, you are responsible for assisting the Church in protecting the city in the city, and determining the location of the Keeper in the worm tide;"

"Sylvia and Grandma Cassandra, you also stay on the ship. Grandma Cassandra is responsible for logistics and treating the wounded, and Sylvia, you maintain the portal on the ship and are responsible for the contact between the Glorious Messenger and the outside world;"

"Grace, Helen, Leisia will also come tomorrow night, you and Dorothy stand by in the city, and send us out of the city after the city matters are over."

After all, Xia De didn't want to kill his way out of the worm swarm with Emilia.

"Sister Daifulin, you also join the city defense team of the Church tomorrow night, and then cooperate with us to kill the Keeper. Although the 【Angel's Right Arm】 I have here restrains its immortality, it will be safer with the initial fire. If things go well, Sivi and the others continue to stay in the city, and you still need to enter the woodland with us."

"Miss Ilesser, the Glorious Messenger will be hidden outside the city tomorrow night. Whether the specific location is still in Lake Yulun, you and Miss Olanode discuss. Miss Olanode, you sit in the Glorious Messenger tomorrow night. This is our base, and we must leave a Thirteenth-Tier to ensure safety."

The ship-girl nodded gently, not saying anything like "I can protect this ship by myself", and the ancient witch with yellow hair also nodded slightly:

"Will that Miss Helena Carter also appear tomorrow night?"

"Yes, I will summon her projection by then. After the meeting, I will discuss with you and Miss Danister to see if we can reproduce the power of that night of the Crazy Moon."

Xia De finally looked at the red-haired girl beside Miss Olanode:

"Will you stay here to help us tomorrow night?"

"I will stay here. Emilia is a student of St. Byrons, and the principal has already urged me to stay by Emilia's side."

"That's good, then you and Flora stay on the ship as a mobile support team tomorrow night. And..."

Xia De didn't think about how to address the blonde elf sitting beside Emilia for a while, but the elf girl took the initiative to say:

"Me?"

"Right, it's you. Your most important task tomorrow night is to meet the Ancient One with me and Emilia. But before that, you stay on the ship to assist Grandma Cassandra in logistics. Besides, don't forget to drive the moas into the cabin before tomorrow night. Just let Angelina take care of them. Don't let them get hurt in the forest tomorrow night when it's so chaotic."

The elf girl was nominally only Eighth-Tier, so it was normal for Xia De not to arrange for her to go out.

Seeing that everyone had no opinion on such arrangements, Xia De continued:

"The general arrangement is like this, and then we will discuss the details. Tomorrow night's arrangements for the high-tier witch followers, the mutual contact of those who go out, the extra help the Council can provide, the method of penetrating the white fog on the surface of the Paradox Worms, emergency plans, final evacuation plans, and..."

"Wait a moment."

Galina raised her hand to interrupt Xia De, and the Duchess asked somewhat dissatisfied:

"Xia De, besides your cat, is there anyone you didn't arrange any tasks for?"

She was obviously referring to herself. Xia De mentioned everyone just now, but he didn't mention her alone.

"But Galina, aren't you going to the forest to search for treasures with the female Ringed Shushi of the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】 tomorrow night?"

Xia De asked, so the red-haired witch looked at him as if looking at a lunatic:

"Are you not joking with me? The final battle of Vesta Woodland is coming, and you are still paying attention to this matter?"

The girls sitting around the long table laughed softly, and Xia De also smiled:

"I'm not joking. I am still paying attention to this matter. After all, this is what the Council promised the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】. If we can still remember their affairs in such an urgent situation, we will definitely gain their incomparable solid friendship... Okay, no more joking. I had a dream last night. You know that if my dreams are not wild thoughts, they generally have symbolic significance.

This dream makes me guess that the things that the alien female Ringed Shushi of the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】 want to find might directly affect the outcome of the Battle of Vesta Woodland."
