Gold is Justice

One thousand 620 six chapters strategy in progress

The saint didn't answer either, but the nun next to her said, "You little necromancer, it seems that you are well protected, and some of you can't bear your reputation as a death-friendly element."

Ariel quickly stretched out her hand to suppress Ke Ke next to her, and said with a smile: "Saint, isn't it? Well, in this case, let's keep it clear. Since the dignified Miss Saint has come to our camp in person Yes, but the Holy Maiden is not interested in the front line. Then I want to know, what is your purpose for coming here? You don’t want to enjoy the screams of the soldiers who withdraw from the front line every night, right? "

The saint still didn't answer, but just scratched the rim of the teacup with her fingers boredly.The nun on the side opened her mouth and said——

"The Holy Maiden came here in person, and the Wei Dejun wanted to boost the morale here, and provide their own help to defeat the Demon King's Army in the future. Our Blue Bay Empire soldiers still have too many places to send. Your side, It’s just such a big battle against a small town, so of course there’s no need to send out elite troops to assist.” Although these words are full of arrogance, they still can’t explain why the saint of the Holy See of Light appears here.

What on earth did she want to do here?If you can't get it out by asking questions, then maybe you can only make a comprehensive judgment by strengthening surveillance and other methods.

"I heard that there is a woman with a very strong affinity for the light element who assumed the unprecedented post of priest under the name of the Holy See of Light."

At this moment, the saint finally spoke.She put down the teacup in her hand and began to look at her fingers, as if admiring her manicured nails——

"It's a pity that such a great talent continues to stay here on the front line. I want to deploy her to work by my side. When the time is right in the future, she can also take over from me and take on the position of saint."

Ke Ke was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood what Sheng An meant, and immediately shook her head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! She will never agree to you!"

After Ariel rolled her eyes, she said with a smile: "Did Miss Saintess come to me to poach people? Although I will respect Margot's personal opinion, overall, Miss Saintess's Seems like a wasted trip."

The saintess leaned back slightly, and began to turn her head to look at Ariel.

"And I think Miss Saint is still so young and beautiful, you should be able to do it for another 50 to [-] years, right? Is it necessary to be so anxious to replace it?"

For Ariel's jokes, the saint didn't show much emotion.That's right, this woman is like a monster who has completely lost her feelings, or in other words, all her behaviors look like the elemental machine running non-stop in the factory, without any emotional waves.For such a person, Ariel always finds it a bit tricky.

"How old do you think I am?"

The saint asked a question.

After thinking for a while, Ariel said: "Through the veil... Although I can't see clearly, I always feel that Miss Saintess should be about the same age as me, right? Maybe a year or two older than me, I dare not Serve as your sister, Miss Saint."

"I have heard about you, Marquis Ariel Garcia. I have held this position for a long time when you were thrown at the gate of the Duke's mansion. My heart is full of exhaustion, and my The spirit is getting worse and worse. The only thing that can continue to expand is the monster-like power in my body. I know that my time is running out, and I need to find a suitable successor to pass on the duties of the saint. Pass down the teachings of the Holy See of Light."

Although these words sounded very sincere.But with the calm tone of this saint, it feels like she is talking about other people's affairs.

At this time, the saint nodded slightly, and continued: "Nowadays, the Blue Bay Empire has declined, but the Holy See of Light can continue to exist. Religion can exist without the country, as long as we can find the next one who is willing to accept the God of Light." Marquis Garcia, there should be a small space in the Mermaid Empire that can accommodate our little religion. In order to show my repayment, I will find an heir and make an official announcement to all members of the Holy See After that, I will announce my abdication, and go to the Demon King Army's territory alone after releasing this cage. Then, I will win the victory you want for you."

The three nuns couldn't help but tremble again when they heard the saint said that they wanted to get out of the cage.They looked really scared, even trembling with fear.

It was no longer just a fear of a strong person or a superior person, but more like facing something unknown...a kind of fear that was incomprehensible and even impossible to explain!

It was also at this time that Ariel suddenly understood something.Her eyes fell on the faces of the three nuns again, she was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Do you... want to use my power to help you break out of this cage? Indeed, now you are in my prison. Within the territory, it would be best if the three sister nuns are willing to break the seal by themselves. If they are not willing, I have enough ways to make them 'willing'."

As she said that, Ariel's eyes came to the face of the saint again: "I just don't know how much your promise is worth? And if there is no comparison, I can't really let go and do something." Seeing this situation, the nun immediately shouted nervously: "Ariel Garcia! Don't act recklessly! This is disrespect to the saint...it is disrespect!"

The other two nuns also hurriedly chimed in: "That's right! We're protecting the saint, you...you can't do anything foolish!"

Although the three nuns seemed to be very strong, they could clearly feel the fear and despair in their hearts.

In this regard, Ariel can only express her own caution, God knows what the situation of this saint is like, it is better not to get too involved.

"I'll think about this issue carefully, but I'm afraid it's not the time. If possible, we can call Margo over and discuss this issue together."

Hearing what Ariel said, the saintess nodded slightly after being silent for a moment.

She didn't insist anymore, but after arranging her mermaid skirt a little bit, she got up slowly and walked towards the exit.And Ariel also asked the soldiers to arrange accommodation for these people.

Then, until late at night today, Ariel has been looking at the file with the light of the element lamp.Just when everything was quiet, there was a sudden soft sound on the castanets outside the tent.

"Who?"

"President Ariel, it's me, Margo."

"come in."

Soon, the tent door opened, and Margo and Coco walked in.

Ariel put down the pen in her hand, slightly pulled the cloak on her body, and said, "How is the situation?"

Ke Ke took out a document from her pocket and handed it up, saying: "That nun's mouth is really hard enough, no matter how much she interrogates, she can't ask anything. I even threatened to poison and curse her, and she was able to Keep your mouth shut."

"Fortunately, I was prepared. I took a bottle of blood and told her it was magic blood. If I didn't say anything else, I poured it into the nun's mouth, so that she could taste the feeling of becoming a monster. At first She is still stubborn, but when I really want to fall, she is finally scared. To be honest, I don’t know if these priests are pious or crazy.”

Ariel: "There is only one degree of difference between piety and madness."

While talking, Ariel opened the file in her hand and began to read it.

Coco next to her explained while watching Ariel: "When did this saint become a saint, she doesn't know. After all, she only entered the Holy See of Light for less than ten years. A saint is already a saint."

"No one knows the name of the saint. After all, they usually only call her the saint or Your Excellency, and they can't call her by her name directly. They don't know where this saint is from, what kind of past and history she has. The only one who knows The most important thing is to use this powerful sealing formation to maintain her around her anytime, anywhere, and there must be no slack in the slightest."

"As for what will happen if this saint breaks the seal once she slackens off... No one knows, and they dare not try. It's just that she heard that the reason why she was able to become one of the saint's cages was because the previous cage was because of Some accident caused the saint to come out of the cage, which resulted in a terrible tragedy."

"The saintesses who were in charge of the previous cages all disappeared, and I don't know whether they died or neglected their duties and escaped, but in such a small room, within a few hours of work, three of the former cage nuns It just disappeared, and the remaining one curled up in a corner and growled like crazy, as if he saw something extremely terrifying, and he has been unconscious since then."

"To be honest, listening to what she said, I also feel a bit chilly behind. This saint should not be some monster, right? This sounds too scary and mysterious."

Ariel finished reading the submitted materials in her hand, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I always feel that there may be something wrong with it..."

Ke Ke's eyes lit up: "What's the problem? Sister President, have you thought about how to deal with this saint? In my opinion, let's just settle her down like this, send more people to watch her, and wait for a while After that, let her go directly, lest we be so worried."

Why doesn't Ariel want to push this woman who doesn't know what she wants to do?After thinking for a while, she turned to Margo and said, "How about the soldiers of the Blue Bay Army?"

Margo let out a breath, leaned the staff of light in her hand to the side, walked directly to Ariel, sat down next to her, and even leaned her head directly on Ariel's shoulder, puffing out her cheeks, Said angrily——

"Don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more angry you are. Those people are soldiers, but to put it bluntly, they are just a group of farmers who have only been trained for a week and were driven to the battlefield. They don't know what they are here for. Just saying that following the saintess is never wrong, and praying that the saints can lead them to victory and peace. Chairman, tell me! What can this kind of soldiers be used for? Sending them to the front is to let them give to the demon king's army. Supplementing the source of soldiers, staying here is a waste of our supplies. I can't really cut off their hands and feet and put them on our soldiers!... Humph, speaking of them, I really thought about taking their hands and feet Cut it off and put it on our soldiers. What is the use of their hands and feet? Those who can’t fight or go to the front line are not as good as our soldiers.”

Ariel stretched out her hand, patted Margot on the forehead, and said, "You can't say such frustrating words. The Blue Bay Army didn't want to really send soldiers to support us. We have expected this kind of thing a long time ago, so we don't need to complain now. .”

Margo snorted and fell silent.

At this moment, Ke Ke in front of her suddenly shuddered. She turned around and rushed outside the tent. After a while, she walked in with an undead crow that was clearly dead but still moving in her hand. inside the tent.All of a sudden, the stench of corpses spread in the tent.

Margaux held her nose and turned to look for incense.Ariel waved her hand in front of her nose and said, "What's going on?"

Ke Ke took off the letter from the undead crow's feet and let go, the undead crow immediately fell to the ground and stopped moving.After glancing at the letter, Ke Ke immediately said: "Cream's scouts showed that the Demon King's army is using a large number of monster legions to attack Woodpecker Town, and they also found that they were carrying a large number of trucks, pulling them forward, which looked like supplies. It's just very strange that these supplies don't look like pure magic blood, and there seem to be a lot of food, cotton cloth and other things that humans need to use."

Ariel nodded, and then said: "That's right, the Demon King's Army can't convert too many humans at once. In order to keep humans alive and not die immediately, the Demon King's Army also needs to provide supplies to humans."

"From this point of view, there should be a lot of human beings surviving in Giant Ocean City, but the food supply is probably starting to run out. And the number of monsters is obviously also a lot, and the supply of these monsters is also at a critical juncture."

After making a certain level of summary, Ariel paused for a moment and said, "How are the wounded and sick sent this afternoon?"

Margaux continued to respond: "The situation can't be said to be good. The front line is seriously damaged. The offensive trend of those monsters is simply crazy. They all attack our front line desperately. At the same time, according to the wounded who came back from the front line, Our soldiers secretly attacked the supply route of the Demon King's army, and burned almost one-third of the supplies with a torch. They couldn't deliver the remaining supplies in time. Army resilience."

Ariel nodded and continued to think about the current strategy.

But at this moment, Ke Ke next to him thought for a while and said, "Sister President, I have a question that I've been thinking about for a long time, but I haven't asked it all this time...I'm a little bit tolerant now." I can't stop, I want to ask, elder sister, don't be angry..."

Regarding this cute Necromancer's question, Ariel just smiled and said, "What questions do you have? Tell me, as long as I can answer you, I will explain it in detail."

Seeing that Ariel agreed, Keke said: "Sister President, that... I want to ask, if we continue to blockade like this, what will happen to the fate of those humans trapped in Giant Ocean City... ? If those monsters don't have enough supplies and blood to maintain them, will they...will they attack those humans?"

I believe many generals of the mermaid army have thought about this question.

But in the many combat meetings, no general has ever asked him out.

After all, everyone knows what the answer to this question means, and they also know exactly what consequences it will have.

Ariel exhaled a little, looked at the girl who finally asked this question, her eyes showed some relief, and said slowly: "Ke Ke, what do you think? If it were you, what would you do?"

Ke Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva and seemed a little nervous. She rubbed her hands, and after a moment of silence, she finally said: "I... I don't know... I always feel that if those monsters even transport food, then Those humans are still alive... But if we directly cut off food and other operations, will it be equal to... We indirectly harmed those humans who are still alive? Those humans may still be waiting for us to save them... Isn't it? ?”

Ariel turned her head and looked at each other with Margo next to her.

Margot couldn't accept such an atmosphere, and left the tent after simply saying "I'm going to see the patients", leaving only Ariel and Coco to stay here.

After a moment of silence, Ariel reached out and gently hugged Ke Ke into her arms.She gently stroked the hair of this kind-hearted necromancer, and after a long time, she finally said——

"I know, you are a good boy, Coco. You have lived up to my expectations and grown into a good girl with a kind heart. Just because of this, I am very pleased that we have been with each other in the past ten years .”

After a while, Ariel supported the girl's shoulders, let her sit down on the seat next to her, and said, "However, it is good to be kind-hearted, but we also need to see the situation clearly. We are not harming people, but saving people." Man, if those people do die, it's not us who killed them. If a person comes to us who is asking for help, of course we should help if we can. But if a person is killed by a demon , then what we need to do is to kill this demon to avenge that person."

"The murderer is the villain. All we need to do is anger, sadness, whatever. But we don't need to put the burden of killing on our shoulders. You can understand that. ?"

Coco looked into Ariel's eyes, her eyes flickered with a little hesitation and a little trembling.But after a while, the girl finally nodded and said softly: "Sister President, these things... I understand, and I can understand. I just... just have a little psychological trouble... those who were killed by demons Dead people, I can't even manipulate their corpses. Those terrible magics even deprive the dead of their souls of revenge... I'm just... just a little frustrated with my own powerlessness..."

Ariel smiled, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said: "It's okay, others can help you do what you can't do, and you can help others do what they can't do. Helping each other, this is the belief of our mermaid army. So, promise me, don't think about it anymore, okay?" At this moment, Ke Ke finally nodded, stood up, and saluted Ariel slightly After that, left.

After sending Coco away, Ariel was slightly relieved.

She turned around and looked at Juyang City, which seemed close at hand on the map. As soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to begin to think of the countless living humans trapped in it, and those people who were gradually going crazy due to insufficient supplies. monsters...

This kind of thing cannot be thought about carefully, let alone something that violates strategic decisions.Adopting an external encirclement and then gradually fighting a war of attrition is a strategy that has been decided from the very beginning. Now that the supply route and strength of the Demon King's army have been inferred, the next step is to go to the surrounding villages of Giant Ocean City to make a layout according to the established policy. At this moment, there must be absolutely no plans to actively attack the large city of Giant Ocean City...

Thinking of this, Ariel made up her mind, pulled up the tent, folded her clothes and lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.

I just hope that in this sleep, I can dream of some good things more or less...

----

In October of 1309, the scorching heat had gradually passed away, and the coolness from the wind made people gradually return to the refreshing autumn day from the exhausted heat.

It's just that this autumn, there is no smell of rice in the air.

The rural towns around Giant Ocean City will be invaded by monsters every now and then. Ordinary humans will either be killed directly or taken back to Giant Ocean City, and the three-light policy will be thoroughly implemented.

Those farmlands have long been deserted, and locusts are raging on the unattended farmlands, feasting on them.The corpses scattered among the various villages have now become the source of infection of the plague disease, resulting in a substantial decline in the population.

After nearly a month of offensive and defensive battles, the defense of Woodpecker Town was still facing collapse after all, unable to withstand the frontal attacks of those monsters.Therefore, the mermaid army also withdrew its defense, reorganized its troops, and officially entered the second step of the strategy. It began to deploy in the surrounding countryside of Juyang City, gathered all the surviving humans, and preached to them the strategy of resisting the Demon King Army. And provide weapons.

These residents who have lost their homes and families will certainly not refuse this.Those who really have no guts can follow the route of the Mermaid Army to the base area for logistical work.

In this way, although the mermaid army continued to lose its supply of troops during the month's battle with the Demon King's army, it also expanded its supply of troops on a larger scale at the same time.Moreover, this is a group of soldiers who are at odds with the Demon King's army.

Now that the battle of Woodpecker Town on the front line is over, there is of course no need to continue the transition point of Healing Valley.Next, this place will become a traffic station, leaving some people to maintain the operation here, and others will start to transfer.

And today is the day when Ariel Garcia officially issued an order for the transfer, asking all the generals to adjust their forces, and at the same time make preparations for the transfer of the wounded.

Ke Ke also received the order and was preparing to help transfer the wounded.

"catch him!"

But just as Ke Ke was carrying more than a dozen undead soldiers, he suddenly heard a shout from the side.

Turning his head to look, he saw a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old running towards this side, and behind him were two or three mermaid army soldiers, shouting and chasing after him.

"Catch that bastard! The thief!"

Is it a thief?
