Gold is Justice

Therefore, he apparently promised that Mochi would recite every day, but the promise was very perfunctory, and what would happen in the end was beyond Mochi's control.

With the Mermaid Army's return journey, the agreement between the Storm Empire and the Mermaid Army was formally established.

The prince himself said that in the future, he will definitely deal with the issue of El Valley properly.It's just that he can only be sure after he fully investigates.He even wanted to study the elf's body carefully, and then bury it properly in the name of respecting the enemy general.

In February 1309, that is when the troops of the Mermaid Army returned to the Qiongshen Mountain and continued to reorganize...

"Ms. Marquis! Ms. Marquis!"

Early in the morning, Ariel heard someone rushing into the office in a hurry.After seeing so many councilors around, the herald realized his abruptness and was a little nervous for a while.

But even so, he passed the letter in his hand to the leader of the mermaid army as soon as possible.

After reading the contents of the envelope, Ariel frowned accordingly.

Her gaze fell on Duck and Amusement Cheese next to her, and after confirming their current mental state, she sighed and said——

"I announce a sad news. The prince of the Stormwind Empire, Kuanglan Xifeng, passed away due to a relapse of an old illness half a month ago."

Everyone present basically knew about Kuang Lan Xifeng, and after hearing this news, they all showed embarrassment.

However, this is not the worst problem.

Ariel continued: "The death of Kuanglan Xifeng also indirectly caused the emperor of Stormwind Empire to be heartbroken, and he died suddenly three days after the prince died of illness. Now the one who is enthroned as the new emperor is Stormwind who had no chance to become emperor. The third prince of the empire. And now, the third prince unilaterally announced the severance of the alliance between us on the grounds that our mermaid army killed Kuanglan Xifeng. The trade route agreed before is now completely broken, and everything It’s all back to its original state.”

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

Hearing this, Margaux sneered, and said, "You're really decisive~~~ We humans are limited in construction, but I'm afraid even the devil can't match us in destruction."

Ke Ke rubbed his fists, and said with a bit of resentment: "How could it be? We...we wiped out a demon king's army together, and even killed a general of the demon king's army! The new emperor...why suddenly Announced the severance of the alliance with us?"

Ariel shook her head slightly, sighed, and said: "We don't know the specific situation. I will send an official messenger to answer and see if the covenant can be restarted. But I still think we need to do a good job. worst plans."

At this time, Cheese yawned and asked, "Is the Elf Valley burned?"

Ariel shook her head: "It wasn't mentioned in the bulletin. Since it wasn't mentioned, then there shouldn't be any."

Cheese even rubbed his eyebrows, and said: "Hey... I really don't know how to tell that girl Mochi about this kind of thing. These days, she is always talking about the powerful blood magic, so she can't just take it lightly ...When we evacuated, I had already chopped off the elf's head with my own hands. So... I should have made amends, right? There shouldn't be any accidents, right?"

It was useless to ask anyone this question, and everyone present could only respond in silence.

However, this is obviously not the topic that Ariel is most concerned about now.She put down the letter in her hand, looked at Dake and Sweet Wine Cheese over there, and said, "You two have worked hard on this diplomatic visit. After that, how do you feel physically?"

Sweet Wine Cheese raised his hand, looked at his arm, and then shook his head: "Don't worry, those black spots on my body have disappeared long ago, and I won't have any problems."

As for Duck next to him...

The berserker also looked at his arm, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't know if I've recovered or not. At least during this period of time, I feel that I have recovered a lot and can fight normally. It's just that every Ten and a half months later, those black spots on my body still hurt me from time to time. Although the symptoms are not obvious, I think... I may not fade away so quickly."

Sweet Wine Cheese immediately raised his hand and patted Duck next to him, and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous? It's not the first time I have this disease. Now that I know that the source is all from that bastard elf, Now that that bastard elf has been killed by us, what is there to be nervous about? It will subside after a while, for sure!"

Although Rummy appeared very relaxed, Ariel knew, and everyone present knew that the situation might not be as simple as everyone imagined.

Whether Kuang Lan Xifeng really died of illness is probably an eternal mystery.When saying goodbye, Ariel once witnessed him jumping up and down with the body of that magical beast, looking very comfortable.And after turning into a monster, his magic also became stronger. It is difficult to compare such a person with the dead person on the letterhead.

But the fact is the fact, it has already happened, and it is useless to think about it.

At that moment, Ariel exhaled lightly, and said, "Okay, you two still need to pay more attention to your physical condition. Once there is a problem, you must tell other people immediately, and you must not hide it. Also, other people who have been blacked out Soldiers who have been attacked by toxins must also pay more attention, and there must be no mistakes."

Dake agreed with Tianjiu Cheese, and this matter was temporarily over.

Turning around, Ariel exhaled slightly, and changed the topic back: "Then, let's discuss about the Demon King's Army now."

"After this period of contact and fighting, as well as the information fed back by Mochi, I feel that one of the four questions at the beginning can already be answered."

Ariel raised her hand and pointed out four fingers: "Why do humans forget about the war, why don't humans re-seal, the efficiency of the Demon King's army's attack is too slow, and why this elf has won the title of Guardian of the Earth, and can still fight in the millennium Continue to bear this title, and at the same time continue to attack humans."

"Among these four problems, the problem that the Demon King's army's offensive efficiency is too slow should be explained."

Ariel paused for a moment, then said slowly——

"The devil's power is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong he is, he can't attack everywhere in person." "According to Sofield Morning Whisperer, the devil doesn't want to simply destroy the world, but wants to destroy the world." Bring peace and justice to the whole world. However, what kind of form his so-called peace and justice are, it is impossible to understand. But basically, it can be considered that what is needed to transform human beings into monsters is a so-called It is the magic of blood magic, and the one who executes this magic itself is the elf Sofield this time. Since there are various conditions and theoretical restrictions on the operation method of blood magic, only after certain conditions are met, the blood Magic can transform humans into monsters."

"On the battlefield more than 1000 years ago, I can't guess the specific actions. But in terms of efficiency, if the more areas you control and the more soldiers you have in your hands, then the efficiency of monster transformation should be slower and slower. After all Regardless of whether it is directly using magic power or using magic items, these are resources, and resources will not naturally increase with the expansion of the Demon King's army. On the contrary, they may become less. This, perhaps It can explain the reason why the attack speed of the Demon King's army will ease after it reaches a certain level. It is also the reason why the Demon King failed to defeat humans after 50 years in the last Demon Sealing War."

While talking, Ariel wrote down her thoughts on the book in front of her, after thinking about it, she continued——

"Sophfield Dawn Whisperer also said that in the last war, the Demon King was too merciful and cautious, so he gave humans time. Could this be the last time the Demon King faced the Human Alliance? What is the reason why there is no extra strength to quickly expand the results of the battle when you are attacked by the enemy?"

"The battlefield is changing rapidly. I don't care if this kind of 'benevolence' is the benevolence we understand, but last time the Demon King Army must have suffered some losses. So this time the battle will not be so easy. Although Judging from the current situation, we have successfully killed a senior general of the Demon King's Army, but in essence, the alliance between us and the Storm Empire has been destroyed. From a strategic point of view, it is difficult for us to say that we have obtained won."

Cream spread his hands, and said with a slightly wry smile: "That's all right, in the past half a year, we have helped the Blue Bay Empire to defend against the attack of the Demon King Army on the one hand, and on the other hand, helped the Storm Empire to solve the problem in the rear. The hidden dangers of the elves, but the result is good, but we are all regarded as hostile (harmonious) elements by the rulers of these two countries."

Speaking of this, Jelly nodded in the same way, and said: "President, it is obvious at present that the goal of the Demon King Army is to do everything possible to prevent the human alliance from forming a single force. Our generals also want to achieve such a goal. They intend to isolate the various empires of human beings thoroughly, and then defeat us separately."

Cream snapped his fingers: "The first target is still us. But President, should we reflect on why our diplomatic missions have visited so many countries, even when they are willing to take the initiative to help defend the Blue Bay Empire, Even if we are willing to be used by the Stormwind Empire, we still have no way to form an alliance with these countries? Is this a problem with our own course of action?"

Of course, Ariel has also thought about this question.

She even had some answers herself.

It's just that this answer sounds a bit too difficult to accept now, so it's not convenient to say it.But if you don't talk about it all the time, this situation seems to be endless, and there is no way to break the situation.

And as for the reason...

"The reason lies in the quality of our mermaid army..."

When Ariel said these words, the members present were taken aback, as if they still didn't understand this matter.But soon, they understood what was going on.

The Mermaid Army is not a military organization formed in the initial stage of the empire, nor is it advocating the extreme worship of a certain leader, and then taking the family or blood as the core, and it is very likely to continue this kind of family blood internal rule in the future group.

Since the leader of the mermaid army was born as a slave, she was a woman with no family or parents.To make matters worse, this woman has not officially become someone's wife, has not become a spokesperson for a surname, and has no children.

The emergence of such a leader completely means that there is fundamentally no way to think about this military organization with the idea of ​​an imperial system.

If there are no relatives and children, what will the military organization do if this woman dies?

Will it fall apart immediately?

According to the logic of normal people, they should think so, right?But the problem is that this organization vaguely does not need an absolute centralized model to operate.

An organization that can have a unified command when combined, and can form its own command system after being dispersed, and cooperate with each other without interfering with each other and taking care of each other.In such an organization, once Ariel Garcia, the so-called "queen bee", dies, will the organization really split?

Can a military organization that does not believe in a specific surname, but simply believes in a bright future, be broken up in one go?

What's worse, the mermaid army's course of action seems to have endless appeal to the middle and lower class civilians.

Not to mention other things, just say that Ariel Garcia, who is the supreme ruler, actually eats the same canteen meals as the soldiers at the bottom. How many empires can do this?

People do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness.

When a society occupies the largest number of civilians and sees that their ruler's living standards are similar to their own, they will naturally have a strong centripetal force for this organization.But for an empire, the imperial power as the ruling class inherently needs to distinguish itself from the lower class civilians.

The royal family and the nobles need to distinguish themselves from the common people through various rituals, utensils, objects and even conversations to show their nobility.This kind of nobility is essentially a way to tell those civilians who are relatively low in status but occupy an absolute number, the dignity and unattainableness of imperial power and nobles, and psychologically suppress civilians.

This also means that it is absolutely impossible for the imperial power to accept a team like the Mermaid Army as its ally, let alone form an alliance with the Mermaid Army.

If the mermaid army wants to form a human alliance with other empires to fight against the demon king army, there is of course a way, that is to let Ariel Garcia act as a queen immediately, and marry quickly, and become a member of a certain surname, the best Or give birth to a child immediately, and publicly announce that this child will inherit his power, reaching the imperial power system of hereditary power.

In this way, each empire will naturally accept the mermaid army, and they can join this emerging "empire" against the Demon King's army.

But if this is the case, will the legitimacy of the mermaid army still exist?

It is estimated that it will not be long before those soldiers who are willing to join the army for a beautiful dream and tomorrow will lose hope because of this, and finally they will be reduced to mercenaries who just join the army with a military salary.

After listening to Ariel's simple analysis, all the guild members present didn't feel much, but the expressions on the faces of the military generals who were also listening to Ariel's analysis were very complicated.

The difference between the military generals and the members of Song of the Mermaid is of course understandable. After all, for the members of Song of the Mermaid, this army is almost equivalent to Ariel's personal bodyguard army, and Ariel's main interests are entirely based on it.

Therefore, if Ariel is willing to ascend the throne as a queen, these bodyguards should not have any objections.

But military generals would not be so relaxed, most of them were born in poverty, joining the mermaid army was not just to see another empire being created in their own hands.

"Ms. Marquis..."

A general had just spoken, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that he was using the title of nobility to address the supreme leader.Everyone has always looked at Ariel out of respect and admiration, so this noble title is used, but now...

After pausing for a moment, the general could only exhale slightly, and continued to say——

"So, what are you going to do?"

Of course, Ariel could also see the worried expressions on the faces of these generals.

Up to now, if he is willing to return to the imperial power, it is only a matter of one sentence.

And with Ariel's current momentum in the mermaid army, ordinary people should treat her like a god or an emperor, right?I believe that there will not be much resistance.

At least, in the first few years, there shouldn't be too much frustration for the entire mermaid army.

only……

"We, maybe we should be less gentle."

After exhaling a little, Ariel stretched out her hands, pressed them on the table, straightened up, and said in a slightly calm voice——

"Since our mermaid army is inherently incompatible with the systems of those empires, and it is impossible for them to like us, if we force our mermaid army to unilaterally lower our profile and form an alliance with them, the effect will only be counterproductive."

"We tried it on Blue Bay. We also tried it on Stormwind. Maybe we believe that the former Prince Kuanglan Xifeng was sincerely willing to form an alliance with our mermaid army, but a single person can betray himself class, but the class itself will never betray its position.”

"Since they won't welcome us, let's just let those who will welcome us join us."

Listening to Ariel's words, the members and generals of Mermaid Song still don't quite understand.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the most "whimsical" and "scary" words spoken by the leader of the Mermaid Army since he took power——

"Let those empires die. Let those oppressed people stand up against their empires with us, and finally, form a powerful force together. Then, come and unite with us to fight against the Demon King Army!"

The utterance of this sentence is undoubtedly equivalent to Ariel's plan to subvert within other empires!

Is this kind of thing really possible?You know, almost all the countries on the entire Golden Continent are now empires. If this is done, will it lead to more turmoil in the entire world?

"President, can we... really be able to do this kind of thing? What exactly do we need to do... to be able to do this?"

Now, even Cream seemed a little worried, and couldn't help asking.

Ariel seemed very confident, crossed her hips, and said slowly: "Any country will have conflicts, and as long as a country is an empire, then such conflicts will definitely be more intense. Countries with imperial power and their civilians are born with Enemy, this system is irreconcilable and irreversible. We just need to find these contradictions and bring them out."

"Of course, it's impossible for us to spread all our operations at once. Before, we were obsessed with the fact that the Mermaid Army's operations should be limited to the Blue Bay area. But now, we can go out. First of all, we need to take our neighbors next door The country—the Murderous Seat Empire is the first target."

Ariel pinched her chin, turned around, looked at the map on the wall, and her eyes fell on the direction of the Hunter Empire
