Gold is Justice

Coco was stunned for a moment.

Jelly nodded slightly, and continued: "Yes, it is the strategic goal. I think our primary strategic goal is to resist the first wave of attacks from the Blue Bay Empire. I believe everyone will It is clear and understandable. However, I have some ideas about when the first wave of shock will come.” The young man with a broken arm pinched his chin and said solemnly: “Now, Tidal Bilan is enthroned, And according to the information that Mr. Cream got back some time ago, even in Hanhai City, rumors that began to doubt that Tide murdered his own brother and then usurped the throne have gradually formed. After all, Tide’s position is not very correct, so, He should urgently need to do something to justify his claim to the throne."

"So I guess, he should be hoping to launch an attack on the Marginal Province as soon as possible. The shortest time is no more than half a year, and the longest is no more than a year. Because only by destroying the Marginal Province at an extremely fast speed can avenge the violent wave Bilan , in order to demonstrate his justice."

"Compared with the previous three years, this year, the rain seems to be a little more abundant. The drought that has lasted for nearly three years seems to have finally eased. Therefore, the newly enthroned imperial power will definitely start after the first round of wheat harvest. They will organize the team to attack us. And this time, they will definitely go all out, and they will not accept surrender, and they will definitely beat us to pieces with all their strength."

"In view of this, I really propose that we should reorganize our armaments as much as possible, collect emergency supplies, store food, and increase investment in war weapons to produce elemental guns and bullets in larger quantities. To this end, we can even Only by sacrificing the amount of foreign trade a little bit can we ensure our viability."

Tesla frowned again at this time and said: "Preparation and preparation, of course I know the importance of preparations! But no matter how much I talk about, the final preparation is to win the battle on the battlefield! Tell me, do you rely on our side? Can a 1000-strong army in the area really face the [-]-strong army of the Imperial Army? This is just a joke!"

Jelly looked a little flushed, he lowered his head a little shyly, and had to say: "This...although it is true that the soldiers on the front line are the ones who will fight at the end..."

Tesla: "I'm just saying, the weapon needs to be easy to use! I said, don't be so entangled, you can fight one by one, but I can't. But although I can't fight, I know How should you improve the power of your weapons. Therefore, Ke Ke, allocate funds to me! I will definitely be able to upgrade our elemental weapons to another level before the empire attacks!"

Now that Tesla opened his mouth, Coco next to him also showed some displeasure.As a result, the three quarreled with each other again.And this kind of quarrel also caused the rum cheese to be brought up. It didn't take long for everyone to say their own things, hoping to be the highest wartime commander of the mermaid army, or to use the position of the wartime commander. Do something that you are more familiar with.

In fact, when it comes to commanding in wartime, Ariel herself has some considerations in her heart.

Among all the union members, the first person she considered was none other than Jelly.

Jelly has a very careful heart, but at the same time she also has a unique sensitivity and wisdom.Moreover, no one can tell the reason for his magical ability. This kind of mystery can greatly enhance the confidence of his subordinates.What's more, he has also read a lot of books about marching and fighting, so it is the best result for him to be the coach.

However, despite this child's various advantages, he is still not the most qualified coach.

Of course, jelly can show bravery and wisdom when facing danger alone, but now he doesn't show the sense of courage of an army general.

In other words, he is not very suitable for commanding others, especially when he is giving orders to some elders in the guild, he will be a little embarrassed and shy.When facing some administrative officials of Pelican City, they can't help but be too polite.

As a staff member, it's certainly not bad.

But as a commander, such a slightly weak and modest character might not be conducive to driving the entire mermaid army forward.

But besides jelly, what about others?

First of all, it is to exclude a few members who have never thought of becoming the leader themselves.List such as cheese, mochi, Dak, brad, parfait, and puff pastry.

These members themselves do not have the self-confidence to become a general.

Then, there are some members who are obviously not suitable to be generals, such as Margaux, Rummy, and Ego.

Among these three, might Margot turn the army into a too charming place?Rummy cheese was clearly inappropriate due to parentage.As for Egg... The bard secretly said that he would not stay in Mermaid Song for a long time, and it was obviously impossible for Ariel to hand over the position of the chief general of an army to someone who didn't know if he would run away tomorrow. people.

Among the remaining people, there are only three people, Cream, Tesla, and Coco.

Cream undoubtedly has a leadership style, but now that he has served as the Sheriff of Pelican City, he can no longer take responsibility on him.

In addition, although Tesla has clearly expressed his intention to serve as a general, this intention is to obtain greater authority and money for the development and research of elemental machines.Therefore, compared to the army, he is more suitable to stay in the manufacturing department.

As for cocoa...

It's not that Ariel didn't think about letting this necromancer be the leader of the army.

After all, taking ten thousand steps back, once a war starts, the most indispensable thing on the battlefield is probably the dead.Once killed in battle, the necromancer can immediately pull up the dead soldier and rejoin the battle.

However, although this kind of cooking will maximize the benefits, it will also encounter another kind of silent resistance.What would those soldiers... especially those who were operating under Coco's command be thinking?

Do they feel that their lives are meaningless to generals?Even if he is dead, the general will pull up his own remains and continue fighting, so when making a battle plan, he does not consider the lives of his subordinates at all?

Arriving here, Ariel felt that she might have a deeper understanding of why the necromancers in the past were often unable to become important members of the army.

After all, no one wants to be a teammate with someone who doesn't care about his life at all.No matter how much this person assures you that he will never do it, the affinity for this element of death has fundamentally negated this guarantee.

It is precisely because of this that Ariel feels that her current problem is more difficult.How should one decide the ultimate leader of one's own team?

Especially imagine that in half a year at most, the imperial army will attack this side with a thunderous force.If she still can't make up her mind by then, Ariel really doubts whether she can lead everyone to win this war.

Thinking of this, Ariel couldn't help raising her head and glanced at the second floor of the guild.

There, Paladin Guangzhongguang was still staying in his room, and he didn't have any intention of surrendering to Song of the Mermaid at all.And to be honest, even if Paladin was willing to surrender immediately, Ariel would not dare to accept him easily and appoint him as the general of the rebel army.This is undoubtedly to give all the little power at hand to an uncertain enemy.This is simply too dangerous.

Thinking of this, Ariel felt her head hurt even more... Especially those soldiers, now these soldiers feel that the generals who command them can only appear from the mermaid song, so they will not obey other people's orders at all.This may indeed be a good thing, but on the other hand, it can also be regarded as a bad thing...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Finally, there is the Sleeping Mountain Range...

Recently, every time Ariel sees this mountain range, her heart twitches involuntarily.That mountain just stood there quietly, but every time I saw it, I would be terrified.

The Demon King was sealed in it... And now, the rumored brave man doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't know if the brave man has really fallen now... Plus the story that the cat Napa told me ...I really don't know how long such peaceful days can last...

"President, please drink tea."

Just when Ariel was feeling worried, Suta at the side put a cup of tea in front of her.

Ariel froze for a moment, raised her head, and looked at this woman with a gentle and loving face.

Not to mention anything else, just seeing Suta's soft face that seemed to be glowing, Ariel suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind from the bottom of her heart.All the sorrows just now seemed to have been reduced a lot at this moment.

She smiled, nodded slightly, and took a sip from her cup.

The leaf-vein cup specially made by the flower fairy gives people a sense of tranquility and elegance. Holding it in the hand, even the slightly hot tea inside will not feel hot at all.

The tea in it is not very good tea, but it is obviously made with care.Ariel felt that her former self might be able to brew better tea than this, right?But now that I think about it carefully, I haven't done this kind of thing for several years, maybe the craftsmanship has long been rusty.

"Suta, have you...really never thought about taking on the position of general?"

In Ariel's eyes, Suta, as a paladin, has the courage to take the lead and the light enough to shine on his subordinates.Even if there may be a little lack of wisdom, but in this regard, we can gather everyone's wisdom to pool our efforts.

After all, the entire Mermaid Song is a guild that complements each other, not an existence where everyone needs to face a problem alone.

In this regard, Suta smiled slightly, holding the tea tray in his arms, smiled, and said: "President, you are joking. I don't have the ability to control the entire army of 1000 people. Therefore, this Let’s not say that kind of thing.”

Seeing that Suta refused again, Ariel couldn't help feeling a little sad.

But this kind of thing can't be forced, and now I can only continue to rub my head and struggle for it.

After paying tribute to Ariel, Suta turned and left, leaving the president to continue to suffer here alone.

After she finished cleaning up the guild, she entered the kitchen and started preparing dinner for everyone with other helpers hired by Song of the Mermaid.And after directing the helpers to set up the tables and chairs, and then preparing and cutting the dishes, she herself prepared a small portion of liquid food that was almost like milk cakes, carried it herself, walked out of the kitchen, and passed by Ariel, Go to the second floor.

Then, she opened the door of her room.

However, before she could fully step in, the woman stood at the door, motionless, as if she had been immobilized by some kind of magic.

And after just three seconds...

clang-

There was a sound of plates hitting the ground on the second floor.Ariel frowned slightly, looked up, just in time to see Suta rushing into the room.And the plate with the milk cake rolled on the floor of the second floor, fell from the gap between the guardrails, and hit the ground of the first floor, and the milk cake was also scattered all over the floor.Something was wrong with this situation, Ariel stood up instinctively, and began to think about who else was in the guild.But at this time, the Suta that had just rushed into the room crashed into the wall next to the door with a loud noise, and flew out entirely!

Her body hit the wall on the other side of the Mermaid Song Hall like a cannonball, and then slid down.However, the woman didn't faint. She adjusted her landing position very well, turned her head and glanced at Ariel next to her, and immediately shouted: "President! Please dodge for a while!"

After finishing speaking, she jumped again, sprinted up the stairs, and tried to rush into the room again.

But this time, she was unable to enter the room again after all.

At that moment, Ariel only felt a shadow emerge from that room.

The strange thing is that the speed of the shadow's movement is obviously not fast, but it gives people a feeling of erratic.Moreover, there is still a layer of black mist suspended for no reason on this shadow's body!Wrapping this thing completely, it is impossible to see who is inside.

Ariel hurriedly let the helpers leave, but she herself exclaimed at the elusiveness of this ghostly shadow.

At this time, Suta rushed forward, trying to reach out his hands to hug the shadow.But this shadow jumped onto the guardrail with a more treacherous posture, and then climbed down the guardrail like a gecko crawling on the wall, climbed to the bottom of the passage on the second floor, and then climbed along the wall together down.After that, he was more like a snake, and quickly rushed towards Ariel.

"Chairman be careful! Be pious!"

Seeing that Suta could no longer pursue him, he immediately waved his hand.In an instant, a sword-shaped ray of light appeared above the shadow and plunged downward.

But at the moment when this ray of light was about to hit, the black mist on the shadow rolled up in an instant, and a human arm, which should be said to be human, was ejected from it, and the falling sword-shaped light was thrown away. break up!

Ariel has seen the power of the paladins in Suta, especially knowing how much spiritual pain this "pious" will cause after hitting the enemy.But the black shadow in front of him seemed to be okay, he just blocked it, without any hesitation at all!

However, no amount of thinking is useless now, because the next moment, the shadow is completely stretched out.The slender arm like a bamboo pole grabbed Ariel's collar and lifted her up.Along with his whole body stretching slowly, this man who was almost two meters tall finally appeared in front of Ariel!

At that moment, Ariel finally understood what those black mist were.

That's hair... black hair that's so long that it almost wraps around the man's body.

When the long hair was completely mopping the floor, Ariel also completely saw the appearance of the person in front of her.Amid Suta's horrified screams, the only thing Ariel can do now is to squeeze out a smile and say——

"Did you sleep well, Mr. Bath Macaroon."

Outside the window, the spring sunshine has not completely dissipated.

The warm sun shining through the glass fell on the man's face, as if gradually dispelling the black mist on his face.

Now he looks like a different person from Bath Macaroni back then.His figure has become more slender, his hands and feet have also elongated a bit, and his hands can almost touch his knees when they hang down!

His seemingly thin body seemed to contain endless power.But those bloodless faces looked like skinny skeletons, and the eyes almost stared out of their sockets.

The man stared blankly at Ariel in front of him, and looked at the girl whose hat had fallen and her blond hair was also splashed under the setting sun, as if trying to recall the somewhat blurred memory.

But when the Suta on the second floor slowly went downstairs and came behind him, the man finally opened his mouth——

"I...remember. My name is...Bass Macaroons. I'm a...listed paladin who hasn't become a regular yet."

"I, and my wife, were caught by you and brought back...you want to kill me...I want to escape, I want to leave here...At this time, a voice responded to me...After that, I... have no memory..."

Slowly, Bass turned his head and glanced at Suta who was approaching cautiously behind him.The strangeness of this glance made the wife whose eyes were full of tears feel cold in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his left hand, looked at his thin palm, and continued to say——

"Why... I can't feel the power of my paladin? Why, I have... this disgusting, devil-like feeling...? What did you do to me? Am I still alive? Or, has it become an existence that shouldn't even exist?"

Suta covered her mouth, and the tears in her eyes had already slipped down. She choked up and said, "My dear... my dear! You wake up... just wake up! These three years... within three years I'm in so much pain! Please... please look at me... look at me, okay? I want to talk to you... I can explain it all to you... okay?"

"My dear...?" Bass raised his head slightly, but he didn't look at his wife behind him.That skeleton-like face also showed a very sluggish expression of sudden realization——

"Yes, my wife. But, I don't feel it... I don't feel it for my wife. Do I love you? Suta. I think I should love you very much, but now, I don't feel it for you Any feeling. Only the dead don't feel it, am I really dead?"

Bath's words seemed very calm, as if he was reading a book dully.

But these dull words caused the Suta behind to suffer a heavier blow.

She covered her mouth, and could hardly believe what she was hearing.The next moment, she didn't care about anything anymore, she opened her arms and was about to rush up and hug her husband's waist.But just as she rushed forward, the former "Paladin" twisted his body like a snake again, and came behind Suta.Immediately afterwards, he raised his foot and kicked Suta's vest mercilessly.

Fortunately, Suta was not a weak ordinary person. As a paladin, she turned around at the last moment and raised her hand to protect her vitals.This kick sent her body flying again, knocking over several tables and chairs one after another, and finally stopped directly in front of Napa's cat house.

After the kick, Bass still looked at his wife calmly, with only strangeness in his eyes.

The next moment, as if he had sensed something suddenly, he turned his head abruptly and rushed towards Song of the Mermaid's backyard.

At this time, Ariel was still held by him.I saw this monster-like man rushing into the back room two or three times. After a little hesitation, he immediately rushed to the room where Song of the Mermaid put weapons, pushed open the door, and walked in without any hindrance. Head over to a chest in the corner of the weapons room.

Of course, Ariel knew what was in that box. Originally, she didn't care much about that thing, she only thought about when she could take it out and sell it for money.But now, seeing that Buss was looking for that thing so accurately, of course she knew something was wrong in her heart, and immediately stretched out her hand to push Buss' face.
