Gold is Justice

After a long silence, Ariel finally asked again.

Bai Qi nodded lightly, and said: "The general strategy is still the same as what I just said, divide the large army into small units, and penetrate into the hinterland of the Blue Bay Empire with a scale of about a hundred people. Avoid the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army. However, we still need to do some other things."

"The goal of the Blue Bay Empire should most likely be to annihilate us. After learning about our evacuation from Baiquan City, they will definitely turn around and start chasing us. And if what my brother expected really happens, If the Murderous Seat Empire is really the Demon King's Army, then they will definitely not obey the request of the Blue Bay Empire Army to pursue us, but continue to advance towards the marginal province."

"The shape of the Marginal Province is like a pocket. The entrance and exit on the side of Xihu City are relatively narrow, and the interior is a large plain, which is very spacious. This kind of terrain is not suitable for an army of 10 people to rush in and occupy it. There is no reason for the seat to turn against the Blue Bay Imperial Army if they want to forcibly occupy such a province. Therefore, their purpose must not be pure."

"At this time, we need a small army to pretend to be one of them to attack the other when there is a quarrel between the two imperial armies, and let the two sides engage in melee. In this way, they can delay their pursuit. , and secondly, we can also use this to fight the murderer seat, so that we can understand what their intentions are."

After thinking for a moment, Ariel nodded and said, "Then, who will lead the sneak attacking army?"

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Qi, the little captain.However, unlike the attention of others, Bai Qi patted his chest without hesitation, and said, "I came up with this idea, of course I will go."

Ariel nodded again: "Okay! Since you are willing to go, how many people do you need? How many weapons?"

Baiqi said: "This is a surprise attack. It doesn't need too many people, but it can't be too few. Besides our field team [-], there are brothers from field team [-], [-], and [-]. Everyone is one The people who come out of the village are familiar with each other and know how to cooperate. As for weapons, we also have them here, but we still need a large number of elemental vehicles to provide mobility, and the only elemental cannon we brought out, please Leave it to us. In addition, I also need you, Ms. Ariel, to give me a combat command to act freely. Let me freely make decisions according to the war situation ahead."

If the mermaid army is an imperial army.

Then Baiqi's current request is undoubtedly seeking military power.

With the four field teams plus the other three teams, the total number of troops is almost one hundred.Such an army instead requires most of the elemental vehicles and elemental cannons in the entire mermaid army. To be honest, such people have already died countless times in the imperial army.

A team of hundreds of people armed to the teeth, even if they are pulled out to become bandits and robbers, it is enough to become a catastrophe.If it is based on terrain advantages, then such an army can be invincible in some respects!

Therefore, everyone was very surprised by Pocky's request, even a little terrified.At the same time, almost everyone shook their heads silently, thinking that the Marquis would never agree to such a ridiculous decision.

As for Ariel, she silently looked at the little soldier leader in front of her, looking into his eyes.

"Where are you from?"

Ariel asked a question.

Baiqi stood at attention and responded loudly: "I am from Falling Eagle Town."

Ariel: "Falling Eagle Town? Are you from Haize Province? Why did you choose to join the Mermaid Army?"

Pocky responded loudly again: "At first, it was for a bite of food! Afterwards, it was to be able to pick out the eyeballs of those landlords and imperial soldiers from their eye sockets!"

Ariel: "Why did you pick out their eyeballs?"

At that moment, Pocky paused for a moment.Just now he seemed very tough, with very firm eyes, but when faced with this question from Ariel, it began to soften.After a while, the eyes began to moisten instead.

But then, he raised his sleeves and wiped away the tears from his eyes, gritted his teeth and said——

"My dad was sick and couldn't help the landlord as a tenant farmer, and then he was beaten to death. My mother tried to protect me, but she was also beaten to death! Then the imperial army came and dragged all the women in our town away I came out and said that my sister and my younger sister were relatives of the rebels, and they wanted to take them back to ask about the whereabouts of the rebels. My sister resisted, and the imperial army who took the lead directly chopped off my sister's head. Then, in order to hide me, my brother, I was dragged out, and the imperial army said that my brother was also a rebel, so they killed him directly."

"Three days later, I saw my sister's body in the mass grave. As for how my sister died... Report to Ms. Ariel, I don't want to describe it, is it okay?"

These words are very simple, even somewhat like a running account.

But for everyone present, they no longer had the desire to refute.

At this time, Ariel's gaze also swept across the audience.

She suddenly found that among the people present, except for a small number of people, there were no other expressions on the faces of many people except surprise and horror.

If you think about it carefully, those who can sit here for a meeting now are either powerful administrative officials or wealthy businessmen.After hearing these words, of course there will be a surprised expression on his face, but when it comes to anger...it is obviously not as good as some members of his guild, and some other small soldier leaders.

"Your experience...is really tragic." Ariel didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say this.

But Pocky obviously did not accept such consolation, but continued to stand at attention and said: "Thank you Ms. Ariel for your concern! But I am not miserable. Compared with some of my brothers, I am so happy!"

"Cookie Cookie's family had nothing to eat because of the drought, and his younger sister and mother were sold to brothels. His father was a human experiment subject who volunteered to be a magician."

"The sharpshooter Lao Youtiao's wife and children in our team were starved to death, and one of his legs was forcibly broken with a stick by the noble lord's dog leg."

"The village where the investigator Toast lives encountered bandits, and the landlord who promised to protect them ran away with all the wealth before the bandits arrived."

"The youngest guy in our team is called Finger Biscuit. He was just ten years old when he was hanging out with us big bastards. The imperial army said that they were coming to suppress the bandits, and the local village head called all the adults in the village out. All the women serve as laundry women for the imperial army to wash clothes with the army, and all the men serve as soldiers to attack the bandits together."

"Besides, there is mud pie who likes to tell jokes. He said that he used to eat dirt when he was so hungry, but he forgot his name when he got seriously ill. He just remembered that he had been eating mud pie all the time. Call yourself a mud cake. There is also a more serious strong man Youche, he was eaten by a noble contract monster. Then there is a cut cake, the noble master uses the parts of the slave to play cards, and the noble master loses Three fingers, one tongue, one ear. After that, there are many, many..."

Ariel just listened silently.

When the little soldier captain described the situation of all the members of this ordinary fourth field team, the entire meeting became silent again.

Ariel didn't bother, and didn't even want to ask a question.She just waited silently, and after the soldier leader finished talking about the situation of the entire fourth field team, the whole meeting scene became quiet again.

Long time, long time.

Ariel didn't even know how long she had been standing here blankly.

Compared with these people, Ariel knew that she was always lucky.I was thrown at the door of the Duke's mansion, and the heavens are pitiful to see the young lady who has given me such a good looks to get close to the Duke's mansion.

However, she never dared to forget her status as a slave.

What if you are not so lucky?

What if my parents had thrown me at the door of the brothel?Then I might be living a life of being greeted and sent off by various men every day.

What if they just threw themselves in the ice and snow?Then he might have froze to death.

As a result, Ariel always felt that she was lucky.And she also believes that what this luck brings to her is definitely not for her to live a life of being a mistress of the royal family, and then serve the noble lady, and live a peaceful and stable life for the rest of her life.

My own luck is not for those nobles, but for these most ordinary little soldiers... After listening to what they say is a bit vulgar but extremely real life, Ariel always feels empathy.

"Pocky, listen!"

Suddenly, Ariel's voice amplified.

After being stunned for a moment, Bai Qi on the opposite side immediately stood up straight and put his hands next to him.

"Starting today, you can take your brothers to action together! I will give you as many elemental vehicles as you want, and I will give you that elemental cannon as you want! At the same time, as the frontline combat commander , I will give you the corresponding decision-making power. You will be responsible for leading this team to carry out the invasion operation against the imperial army. After the invasion operation is over, no matter whether we succeed or fail, we must survive successfully!"

Having received Ariel's appointment and approval, the military leader gave Ariel a military salute again, with a little joy on his face.

Afterwards, Ariel turned to Jelly next to her and said, "Jelly, you are responsible for leading 100 people to meet Pocky in the back. If he can successfully get rid of the imperial army, then retreat together. If he is besieged, you will carry out a surprise attack to interfere with the imperial army." sense of direction."

Jelly got up and followed suit.

Afterwards, Ariel began to discuss in detail with everyone how to intersect the Blue Bay Empire area, and broke up all the teams into a small team of about 100 people, and headed towards the hinterland of the Blue Bay Empire together.In the end, the ultimate goal of all the teams was selected, which was Shannan Province, which bordered the Hunting Seat Empire.

After all, after the Murderer Empire sent an army of 10 people into the Blue Bay Empire, the strength of the Murderer itself should also be greatly compromised.If you are pushed into a hurry, then with the handover of the two countries, the mermaid army is very suitable for jumping back and forth, at least it can be regarded as a little scruples for the Blue Bay Imperial Army.

After discussing all this, unconsciously, the light in the meeting room has changed from the sunlight outside to the shining element lights.

After Ariel made the last mark on the map, she turned her head, glanced at everyone present, and nodded silently.

But at this time...

"President! President!"

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was knocked open, and it was none other than Cheese who rushed in.

The vampire looked a little tired. Regardless of the dirt on his body, he pointed out the door and said—"Many people heard that they still had to leave after resting, and some of them started to yell! They were clamoring to go back , the soldiers can't suppress them at all now!"

Hearing this news, Ariel's heart trembled!Look at the watch, it is already ten o'clock in the evening.

And the time has passed ten o'clock... After rushing out of the meeting room, Ariel looked in the direction of the Long Sleeping Mountain Range...

There was no change at all in the Long Sleeping Mountain Range.

Just like the past thousands of years, this mountain has always been so silent, just like its name, it will sleep forever.

However, the absence of any changes in the Changmian Mountains does not mean that there are no changes in the entire Baiquan City.

Due to Ariel's order, all soldiers and civilians must rest as soon as possible, and then they can't even untie their clothes, and they have to set off again after resting at noon to night.

This is not bad for the mermaid army soldiers who have been obeying orders all the time, but for those civilians, especially for the civilians in Baiquan City, suddenly they got the news that they had to evacuate immediately, It is unreasonable to abandon all family property and start fleeing.

In addition, the time has come now, and there is still no change in the Long Sleeping Mountain Range, so even the civilians who came out from Pelican City are now clamoring to go back.

Standing on the street, Ariel watched the shouts of various civilians constantly coming from a distance, one after another, voices wishing to turn around and go back immediately, her palms couldn't help sweating.

One thousand 530 five chapters of the light of the firefly and the light of the stars

From the bottom of her heart, Ariel actually hopes that the Eternal Sleep Mountain Range will continue to remain peaceful... Maybe the brave man has completed his task, and now the threat of the Demon King has been lifted?

If that brave man has really re-sealed the Demon King and didn't let that guy escape, but now he is also seriously injured and is dying...then if he led so many people to run away now, wouldn't it be tantamount to an indirect attack on Is he willing to die?

Now if you rush back immediately, is it possible to save him?

is not it……

Is there such a possibility?

"President! The people over there are already fighting!"

Just as Ariel was thinking, the cheese had already yelled loudly, and at the same time pointed in that direction.There, Ariel could already see many civilians packing their bags and arguing with the soldiers responsible for maintaining stability.Due to the limited number of soldiers, some civilians even pushed away the soldiers and walked towards the gate of Baiquan City together.It can be seen that they are going back now!

Go back to their home, go back to the home they have lived in for several years, and then carefully maintained and finally rebuilt.

Go back to the place they regard as the final destination, where they can stay well, and then go to a place where they can retire with peace of mind.

go back……

must go back...

Go back no matter what problems you encounter...

What's more, isn't there no problem now?

Right.

----

In the middle of the night, under the same starry sky.

The night tonight is really beautiful.

Perhaps it was because the lights that covered the entire Pelican City were turned off tonight, making the starry sky look even more dazzling.

Every star is twinkling above this world, and the bright rays of light are like pearls, like diamonds, like various red or blue gems inlaid on the satin made of dark blue velvet In the sky, it gives people a feeling of complete purification.

When the people in Pelican City raised their heads cautiously and saw the sky, they couldn't help being stunned.

They have forgotten, how long has it been since they have seen such a pure sky?

Ever since the elemental lights that never go out all night began to light up in Pelican City, people at night no longer paid attention to that piece of sky, but turned to fall in this city that never sleeps.

Before this, people here always thought that no matter how bright the stars in the sky were, they couldn't compare to the bright man-made stars in the City of Night.
