Chapter 152: Heart Synchrony
The Banshees' organizational structure is efficient and swift, and with a telepathic connection, almost all information can flow between all individuals at an extremely high speed.
By the time Zeus had made the decision, the team allocation and registration had already begun on the other side. By the time Zeus sent Chloe out, the team that was going to attack was already ready.
The series of plans, from proposal to demonstration, and finally to delivery to Ash, did not take much time in total. Hughes saw the whole process in the group.
Not only him, but every banshee involved in the operation can discuss and put forward opinions, and ultimately Ash will make the decision.
Zeus is not a jack of all trades. He is better at advancing technology, and he commands the Banshees in battle only because he has many modern concepts, such as the emphasis on information acquisition. Ash quickly learned his theories and did better than him.
She is like a perfect killing machine, powerful, fast and decisive. Banshees are good at multitasking, so it is no problem for them to fight and command at the same time.
Therefore, Zeus only discussed the general strategy with Ash and did not interfere with how to execute it - the premise of micro-control is that one's own operation is good enough. When Zeus found that Ash was better at this, he completely let Ash take command.
Ash quickly selected the people and led Nini and others to charge into the battle. Although Nini was not good at hand-to-hand combat, her spellcasting ability was the strongest among the banshees. She was also very smart and often had some messy ideas, only second to Monica.
There were three teams in total responsible for the subsequent support, two of which were responsible for the actual support. They prepared a large amount of nitroglycerin and floated in the shallow sea. Once they were pursued, they would be responsible for blocking them. If they were unable to defeat them, they would sink the nitroglycerin tank from the sea surface and then detonate it - the main purpose here was to prevent the emergence of polluting beasts.
The last team is located between Castel and the fishman settlement, mainly serving as a signal relay, allowing the mental link to extend all the way from Castel, so that quick support can be provided in case of an accident.
"We have two tasks. One is to rush to the polluted snake and investigate what it is. It would be best if we can bring some of it back. Una, you will do this. Nini will cover you."
Una nodded. She was carrying a huge box on her back. Inside were containers for holding contaminated snakes and a lot of nitroglycerin. Nini had studied for a long time how to store these explosives in deep water. Finally, she used fossils as mud to make a lot of hollow containers, each of which contained some nitroglycerin and the ultra-small sea snakes she summoned, which could be called biological fuses.
Meanwhile, Una was the only one wearing armor.
The Banshees didn't have any armor to wear. Although Zeus had a few sets of full-body armor, the size of the armor was only suitable for humans or small people like Monica, and the effect was not very good.
The hard armor can withstand human hacking. A single punch from the Banshee can leave a dent. If you pick up a weapon, you can really tear a hole in it, and it may not even be as strong as their scales.
These armors were not designed with extraordinary races in mind.
Zeus considered making a set of heavy armor just for the banshees. Their three-meter-high system, coupled with the heavy armor, basically allowed them to walk sideways on the battlefield of mortals.
The armor on Una was made by Nini herself. Ever since she successfully used fossils as mud to melt steel, she had been bored and made a lot of miscellaneous things. This armor is one of them. Apart from its unique appearance, it has no shortcomings and is quite sturdy.
Ash shifted his gaze from Oona to the other members of the team, "Our team's second mission is to test whether the murlocs have stronger combat power, whether it's a tainted beast or other monsters."
The team members nodded in unison. They had all participated in the planning process and knew what they needed to do. Now they were just waiting for Ash to assign tasks.
Ash pointed at five people and said, "You are mainly responsible for causing the killing. Make bigger moves and try to draw out the enemy's retreat. You can charge in, but don't charge too far. When I order you to return, you must immediately abandon the enemy in front of you and retreat. At the same time, your mission priority must be lower than Oona's mission. Ensuring that she successfully collects the sample is the top priority."
"Except for Nini, the main task of the remaining people is to protect Una and cover the retreat. Una will activate her flesh and blood magic during the collection process. She has almost no fighting ability. If the battle is fierce, just drag her away. Do you understand?"
The banshees nodded in unison.
Ash finally turned his gaze to Nini who was eager to try: "You can move freely when you get to the pollution area. You are good at research, but I don't know much about this. Try to collect all kinds of information about the pollution snake. If there is anything you need to cooperate with, report it in time."
Nini happily slapped the ground with her snake tail twice, raising a cloud of dust: "No problem, leave it to me."
Ash didn't look away. She stared at Nini for a while, then slowly said, "If I can't command, then the command will be given to you."
The banshees looked over, and even Nini's snake tail stopped. She frowned and asked, "Why?"
Nini's personality was not very stable, and she often made some aggressive moves. Ash knew this, and she was also very clear about it.
Most banshees are outspoken - this race is able to communicate with each other telepathically, so there is not much point in being cunning, especially when facing their own kind, they often try to get to the bottom of things.
Ash's tone remained unchanged, as calm as ever: "You have a flexible mind and always have many new ideas. If I can't command, then I must have encountered a huge problem, which may be difficult to solve with normal means."
Ash stared into Nini's eyes and she said seriously, "I am very strong, stronger than anyone else, but being strong doesn't necessarily solve the problem. If strength can't solve it, I can only place my hope on you."
The cave became quiet, and even Nini, who was so lively, kept her mouth shut.

They were banshees, with a firm and fearless will coursing through their bodies like blood. Everyone felt it and closed their eyes at the same time.
This is their ritual before battle, a synchronization of minds.
Everyone is connected in mind, and any decision will be executed thoroughly. At this moment, the banshees are no longer independent individuals, but members of the Banshee clan.
They are like worker bees, each of them has her own responsibilities, and each of them can sacrifice without hesitation. This is their common will.
Zeus felt the rhythm of the symbiotic contract and slowly closed his eyes - he was also the center of the banshees, all contracts were transferred through him, and the life force flowing through him all carried the power to purify pollution.
The next moment, everyone opened their eyes at the same time.
