Gold is Justice

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

"The prime minister of the Murderer Empire personally led an army of 15 to the Demon King's army, and his vitality was severely injured. Even after two years, it was impossible to recover so quickly. Moreover, the queen of the Murderer died suddenly for unknown reasons. The newly enthroned The little emperor was only 12 years old, and he had no ability to control the entire empire. This has led to the complete internal division of the Murderous Seat Empire, with each noble lord guarding his own piece of territory, but still submitting to the royal family on the surface. "

"In this case, find out one or two most powerful lords who exploited their own people, spread the theory of the collapse of the empire, encourage the peasants to rise up against their lords, and then distribute weapons and some assistance to these peasants , I believe it will produce effects soon, reaching the trend of a single spark starting a prairie fire."

"Please wait a moment! Madam Marquis!"

Finally, the generals who were listening were a little confused, and one of them said——

"I understand Ms. Marquis' thoughts, but now our main enemy should be the Demon King's Army? Or take a step back, is the Blue Bay Empire? But from what you said, Ma'am, we seem to plan to destroy the entire Golden Continent first." Was it turned upside down? Didn't this fall into the plot of the Demon King's Army? I hope that human beings will not unite, but consume themselves first? Our internal mutual attack...can it really be effective in resisting the Demon King's Army? "

Ariel pouted.

To be honest, she can't say that she is 100% sure that this method will work.

Because if there is a strategist in this world who can guarantee 100% success of his strategy, it is not a person, but a god.

It's a pity that in this world now, except for those guardians who just watch and do nothing and a demon king, it seems that gods have never been born.

Does it really work?

Really want to give up uniting those empires, and start stirring up chaos within the empire, support a new regime to come to power, and then resist the Demon King Army together... Is such a set of steps really useful?Could it be that when humans were fighting each other, the Demon King Army had already used this chaos to unify the entire Golden Continent in one fell swoop?

You know, Ariel once made a big mistake on who is the devil and who is the brave.That mistake cost countless lives and caused a great deal of tragedy.

Now, can she really guarantee that this decision of hers is not another "mistake"?

Ariel didn't have a bottom line in her heart, but even if she didn't have a bottom line, she still spoke out the method.

After all, this was the best way she could think of based on the current situation.

"Ms. Marquis, maybe this policy should be changed..."

At this time, two more generals spoke together to dissuade them.

"Yes, yes, elder sister, on the one hand, we have to fight various empires, and on the other hand, we also have to fight against the army of the devil king. To unite, to do so is to make enemies of all the countries on the entire Golden Continent at one go, it looks... really like we are the Devil King Army."

Even Ke Ke is a little nervous now, and the other Mermaid Song members are also a little nervous now, and they don't dare to agree with this proposal.

Maybe... I was really wrong?

This question flickered in Ariel's mind.

She has never forgotten that she is not an expert in war.In the past few years of fighting against the Demon King Army and the Blue Bay Army, although she has made many decisions, she absolutely dare not say when she has become a master tactician or a top strategist.

The only thing she can do is to carefully evaluate the situation in each environment, and then make predictions based on her own judgment.

A strategist made by a strategist who can only guess... I really can't say that I can't make mistakes, can I?

But at this time...

"I think this method is worth trying."

A voice spoke, and Ariel raised her head to look, only to find that it was none other than Pocky, who was also one of the generals.

"I also agree with General Baiqi's idea. Perhaps for us now, we may need to stimulate the other side in turn."

The other voice of approval was Jelly from Song of the Mermaid.

At this moment, Jelly and Pocky glanced at each other and nodded at each other.

At this time, Baiqi continued: "Leaving aside the lady's declaration of war against all empires in the entire Golden Continent, just from a tactical point of view, I feel that with our current development speed, a small The small Qiongshenshan can hardly accommodate us. In this case, I am more in favor of further expansion first.”

"Nowadays, there is a trade agreement between us and the Blue Bay Empire. Although this agreement looks very fragile at first glance, the current Blue Bay Empire is also very fragile. Tide Bilan may not have the energy to deal with us again in a short time. Declare war. Now he is just blindly propagating that we did not attack further because we are afraid of Blue Bay. Such propaganda is irrelevant to us, so we can ignore it."

"On the contrary, because of these propagandas, I am sure he will not take corresponding actions when we act. In this way, we can really help some civilians in the Hunting Seat to get rid of the violent (harmonious) regime. In the name of the Murderous Seat Empire, attack a lord in the Murderous Seat Empire."

With that said, Pocky stretched out his hand, pointed to a territory nearer to the territory of Blue Bay, and said——

"This area is called Mizusawa Valley, and the lord in power is not a hereditary lord here, but took advantage of the sudden death of the previous lord not long ago, and forcibly married the lord's daughter, thus taking control of this land. According to me Judging from the information obtained here, the other party may feel that the process of obtaining the territory is too easy, and he also knows that his foundation in power is not strong, and he is likely to be overthrown at any time. Therefore, after taking office, the taxation of farmers is almost the same. More than 80 years after receiving it."

"If we take this opportunity to intervene and overthrow this lord, we should be able to win the welcome of many local people. As for the other nearby lords, my people have already inquired about the news before. They are either greedy for money or afraid of death. Just a little favor should be able to hold them back from interfering with our offensive plan."

"In this way, as long as we can achieve a certain degree of expansion, our ability to act will become stronger. Next, no matter whether we want to completely subvert all noble imperial power or change other policies, we can have a certain degree of maneuverability." Cards to play."

After listening to Baiqi's introduction, some of the people present were thinking silently, while others were nodding repeatedly.

After seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Ariel turned to Jelly and said, "What do you think?"

Jelly smiled faintly, and said: "General Baiqi looks at this issue from the perspective of battle, so I'll make a fool of myself and talk about it from a strategic perspective."

Everyone looked at the one-armed magician. Even after so long, the shyness on his face still couldn't be removed. After such a long time, he still looked a little green like a person who had just participated in a battle.

"From a strategic point of view, I don't think stirring up chaos within the Blue Bay Empire and the Hunting Seat Empire will make our mermaid army the biggest enemy on the entire Golden Continent immediately."

"As we all know, there is a century-old grievance between the Hunting Seat Empire and the Blue Bay Empire. Has this grievance been resolved in recent years? No. It is not so much resolved, as it is that both countries have suffered heavy losses due to their own strength, so Now there is simply no time to deal with each other's grievances."

"Besides, on the entire Golden Continent, the Burning Blade Empire said it was coming to help, but it has been a long time since they were able to come and join us. It can be seen that its fundamental purpose is not to unite with us at all. The Red Moon Empire has been fighting for half a year. It once again fought with the Emerald Star Empire, and these two countries are also the countries that our envoys have visited."

"Many countries on this continent have not shown much enthusiasm in the face of the invasion of the Demon King's army. Is this because they are not afraid of the Demon King?"

"No, it's because they don't regard the Demon King's Army as a problem that should be their responsibility. So, they don't care, thinking that the so-called Devil King's problem is the same as a distant war in a distant place, and It doesn't matter at all."

"Since the other party doesn't care about the Demon King's Army, does the other party really care about the expansion of the Mermaid Army? I think this also requires a big question mark."

Jelly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "In other words, since few people on this continent would care about this war, then we don't have to worry about what our actions will lead to." All empires on the entire Golden Continent Come against us' to this degree."

"Under such circumstances, I think it is necessary for us to learn from our enemy, that is, the Demon King Army. The Elf King hopes to slow down the war a little bit, and gradually erode the war through a little bit, which will not cause humans to overreact. Annexing humans and letting humans die slowly in the process of not fighting fiercely, then we should also learn this method that will not cause too much harm.”

"So, we might as well take this as a basis and gradually encroach on the territories of other countries."

"There are two advantages to doing this."

"One, we can keep our overall strength constantly expanding, and at the same time, the side effects of expansion will not be too great. It can increase our strength."

"Second, this approach can stimulate the Demon King's army on the other hand. Let's see whether they are more efficient in attacking slowly, or our mermaid army's expansion speed is more stable and faster. If you are lucky, you may be able to directly stimulate The Demon King's army can no longer fight so slowly. Then, as long as they can't bear it anymore and start attacking other empires along the other directions of the Forbidden Land, then our goal will be achieved."

Ariel listened earnestly to the two generals looking at their expansion from local and macro perspectives.At the same time, I was thinking about how many problems there are in this approach... No, it should be said that there are too many problems.But if you don't do it, then there is no possibility of breaking the game.

At that moment, Ariel turned her head to look at the others.The slightly anxious expressions on the faces of the rest of the people are now slowly relaxing. After continuing to discuss for a while, everyone finally reached a preliminary agreement.It was also for Ariel to decide on the next course of action for the mermaid army.

----

The battle will never end.

But there is always a time of rest in the process of fighting.

While arranging the deployment, Song of the Mermaid is now gradually advancing all the arrangements according to his own ideas.

The first is to send specialized staff to the interior of the Murderous Seat Empire to search for the oppression of the peasants by the lords and nobles, and start working there once a suitable area is found.

These staff members were originally from the mermaid army's grassroots work, so of course they know how to deal with these things.

In fact, just about a month after such a thing was decided, a large-scale protest and demonstration immediately broke out in the Mizusawa Valley area of ​​the Murderer.

There is no doubt that this protest demonstration aroused the panic of the local lords and immediately sent troops to suppress it, causing a large number of casualties.

And of course, this suppression also completely detonated the dissatisfaction accumulated in the hearts of the people for a long time, and then the vigorous uprising started.With the help of the mermaid army to provide weapons and some logistical resources, in just two months, the lord was escorted from a high-ranking nobleman to the gallows.

When those who thought they would always look up to these nobles now find that they have the ability to push them to the gallows, the power that can be generated will be explosive!

Next, the guidance of the mermaid army does not need to intervene too much, because these peasants will follow these steps to detonate other noble areas, and then burn this flame called "rebellion" to the hunters. More places in the Murderous Empire.

However, compared with these things, there is one more thing that Ariel cares more about.Even, a little happy.

"How is the situation? I heard that there is progress?"

In the evening, Ariel came to Tesla and Thor's workshop with great interest.

Although she heard the soldier's report that she had made some progress, after such a long time, Ariel's expectations for this new type of weapon were not as high as she was at the beginning.It would be best if I could come up with something, if it still takes time... well, I don't know how long I'll have to wait.

As soon as he entered the door, the first thing he saw was not some kind of small weapon, but a model of an elemental cannon that took up almost half of the house.

The reason why it is called a model is because the whole body of this elemental cannon is made of wood.Although the shape of each mechanism on this elemental cannon is very exquisite, and each part seems to be independent, it is still impossible to put it into practical use.

At this moment, Ariel pointed to the model of the elemental cannon and asked Tesla who was drawing formulas on the drawing board next to him, "How is it? Is this our brand new weapon?"

Tesla turned his head, and when he saw Ariel, a slightly apologetic smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this smile, Ariel knew that she was expecting too much.But on the other hand, Thor popped his head out from behind a lot of parts, and said cheerfully: "I said, Ms. Marquis, your idea is too good, and a discerning person can tell that this is a model. !"

The short alchemist slowly climbed out of those parts, but compared to Tesla's current frustration, he seemed very excited, and said: "I originally wanted to report to Ms. Marquis after debugging." , I didn't expect Ms. Marquis to be so well-informed. So why don't we come to test now?"

Tesla still looked a little worried, seeing in Ariel's eyes, she couldn't help laughing, her eyes swept back and forth between the obviously excited alchemist and the obviously dejected assembler, and said : "What's the matter? What's the expression on our chief assembler now? Don't tell me that the thing you are testing is very unstable? What exploded all of a sudden? I heard that the survival rate of alchemists The overall level is not very high, and in many cases they are killed by their own alchemy items, did you find any problems?"

Thor laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry! Ms. Marquis, this guy just can't think about it for a while, and thinks that the elemental machine should not be designed like this, so it makes him feel a little uncomfortable."

Ariel: "Uncomfortable?"

Thor picked up a large pack of parts boxes placed on the table next to him, and then said cheerfully: "Let me see, he is a bit too rigid in the past. It is not a good thing to be so stubborn. What is it? Emotions... let's talk as we go."

As Thor's words fell, Tesla could only pick up his tool bag now, followed Ariel and Thor to leave the workshop in dejection, and walked towards the testing field.

It was also on this road that Tesla also slowly spoke out his own voice completely.

"The previous elemental machine...was not designed like this...The structure and function of the previous elemental machine should be thicker and more solid...Even if you don't do anything with such a heavy weight, just hold it in your arms , it can give people a very reassuring feeling! It’s not like now... this... this... this... this design concept is completely different... this..."

Ariel became more and more confused the more she listened, she turned to Thor next to her and said, "What is he talking about?"

Thor still laughed twice, and then said: "Well, to put it simply, we discovered the design flaws of the previous elemental machines."

Ariel: "Design flaw? This kind of thing makes Tesla so nervous and depressed? Isn't this a good thing?"

Regarding Ariel's current ease, Tesla was extremely frustrated. As he walked, he kept shaking his head while holding his head, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, no... this can't be called design." Is it a defect? ​​That completely negates the design concept of the previous elemental machine, right? This... This is a fundamental denial of the concept of the elemental machine... The new design does not matter whether it is output or temperature, the conversion In terms of efficiency, and even in terms of matching with other facilities, it has a high energy that is almost 12% to 34% higher than the previous element machine! This design not only makes up for the previous element machine. All designs, and even completely eliminated the previous elemental machine... completely... completely eliminated..."

Ariel still couldn't understand it, she thought for a while, and said, "Eliminate the old design... Isn't that good? Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem!"

Tesla yelled out all of a sudden, and even became more emotional——

"The previous elemental machine... the previous original elemental machine! It's the Origin Guild... It's the many seniors in the Origin Guild! And the president of the Origin Guild! So many people, so much effort! For this elemental machine, this The world even did not hesitate to slander them as demons, and even massacred members of the Origin Guild over and over again! After spending so much blood and tears...after so many people died, we were finally able to assemble this elemental machine openly After getting up!"

Tesla suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if feeling that the dead were looking at him from the other side of the sky——

"After that... It was only about ten years ago... It was only ten years, but this machine has gone through so many elements, and now it is told that it can be eliminated. It is out of date... If it is that simple If it can be eliminated, then what is the sacrifice of the president of the Origin Guild and everyone? Does their death, in the light of technological changes ten years later, represent worthless? Or even meaningless?"
