Gold is Justice

On the other hand, although these things are the limit of what she can think about.From the beginning of studying how to defeat the Blue Bay Empire, to thinking about the elemental machine in her hands, and then conceiving the essence of the empire, the actual interests of businessmen, the most basic elements of the economy, etc., until recently she Only then did I discover that the development of technological strength may indeed naturally become the cemetery of the imperial system.

However, although she understands this knowledge, it is obvious that she cannot rely on the intuition of ordinary people to understand this knowledge.To understand everything in this, the person who listens to this knowledge must have a certain amount of knowledge.

Here, she didn't expect Fleisch, a general with little education, to understand.But the increasingly panic-stricken expression of Amazake in front of her let Ariel know that her words might have begun to have an effect.

At that moment, Ariel raised her head, and continued to say with a very confident attitude: "That's why, if we want a peaceful and stable life, we want a place where we don't need to fight and fight, and we want a place where no one is divided into If slaves are no longer honored as nobles, then what we have to do is not to fight against the Blue Bay Empire over small things. What we need to fight is in a wider and more grand place. And in these grand In our ideals, it is undoubtedly a wrong thing to kidnap those nobles and lords who are likely to help us destroy the empire together in the future."

She turned to Fleisch next to her, and glanced at the general's face.

It can be seen that the general's current facial expression is full of doubts.

This made Ariel feel lucky, because she knew that this general, who had no formal education, began to understand her words.This means that the words she said will also reach the ears of many citizens present.

This also made Ariel feel a little nervous. After all, even if this Fleisher has understood the problem, judging from the malice gradually emerging on his face, he doesn't seem to intend to surrender completely like this .

"... Anyway, what you said is just your own thoughts, right? After all, these words are just your imagination. Whether it is true or not is not yet conclusive. !"

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fleisch's eyes to flash fierce colors again.He raised his fist and slammed it heavily on the table, turned his head, glared at Ariel viciously, and said——

"Besides, what you said is too big and broad. Even if your theory is correct, everything you said will become a reality, but I don't know how long it will take. Ten years? 20 Years? Or 50 years? Hundreds of years? You said just now that the empire will suppress the element machines, so what if the empire really succeeds in completely suppressing them? Are you really pinning your hopes on them helping us? In my opinion, forget it!"

Although Fleisch shouted loudly, when he said these words and looked around, he found that the eyes of the citizens who had been incited by him were no longer as fanatical as before.

Even those young citizens who shouted directly just now, although there was still enthusiasm brewing in the eyes of these people, they did not show any direct restlessness.

They will think and weigh the facts before them.

The most important thing is, will they be more willing to believe in the Thunder Army general who has already worked hard in Pelican City than this Thunder Army general who has only been in Pelican City for a few months? What about the president of Song of the Mermaid who has been lying to them for several years?

The atmosphere at the scene has gradually become calmer.

In such a calm atmosphere, Ariel also knew that her words had won a temporary victory.

Right now, what she needs to appease most is the general of the Thunder Army in front of her, so that he can relax and get everything back on track.

then……

She will find a way to completely break up the Thunder Army, and transform the soldiers in this army who really agree with her theories and beliefs into soldiers of the border provinces, instead of giving them time and praying that they will slowly integrate into the army like now. .

"General Fleisch, for thieves, fighting is no different from war. For thieves, fighting itself may be the secret of success."

"However, no one in this world wants to be a thief for a lifetime. I believe that even the soldiers in your Thunder Army don't want to be thieves for a lifetime."

"And once we really want to change from thieves to a real political force, war is no longer a simple fight, but we need to make various considerations. Military power will become our trump card, Unless it is a last resort, we'd better not use this killer tool to deal with affairs."

The first thousand and 450 chapters and seven chapters on the edge of civil war

"We can be angry and sad, but we must not be eager for quick success because of anger and sadness, and we must not make us do things that are not in line with the interests of our people because of such explosive emotions. Especially because This kind of emotion allows us to rob, blackmail, kidnap without any scruples, and finally propose war casually."

"We're angry, we're sad, and no matter how intense the emotion was at the time, we'll calm down over time. We'll feel happy and joyful again."

"However, if we wage wars because of this, and soldiers die in battle, kidnapping, extortion and robbery cause the death of other innocent people, these dead soldiers and personnel will not be resurrected because of this."

"So, we can strengthen our military power, but this kind of strengthening must take a definite and steady route, and we cannot raise funds to increase our military power in order to be able to kill as much as we want. I hope you can understand me on this point."

Ariel's mood is serious, and her words are sincere.

As she herself said, as the actual ruler of the marginal province, she doesn't have to make Fleish, who is now against her, a villain.

It is not a wise choice to set up a villain for herself. As a businessman, she always hopes that she has as few opponents as possible and as many friends as possible.

So, if Fleisch is willing to stop in time at this time...

Well, even if he stopped in time, Ariel would still decide to deprive him of his military power as soon as possible, and perhaps put him under house arrest to a certain extent, to the point where she could transform the Thunder Army.

But even so, Ariel believes that the whole process will not be completely torn apart.After all, the general in front of him is still a person who leads the army out of the encirclement of the imperial army after all, so he has certain uses.

However, just as Ariel stretched out her hand to Fleisch, an expression of absolute reluctance to agree flashed across the face of the leader of the Thunder Army.

He shook his head, his face full of disbelief.He gritted his teeth, perhaps because he didn't have much knowledge, or because he didn't have that much predictability for the future, or because he was short-sighted, selfish, or simply didn't believe in Ariel...

Fleisch shook his head while retreating backwards.

"General Frysh?"

"No... you are lying, you are lying to me. I will never believe you... What empire must be destroyed? The age of a merchant is coming? You must be lying to me... there must be something unspeakable somewhere Human secrets!"

Seeing that Fleiser's mental state was not quite right, Ariel couldn't help feeling nervous: "General Fleiser, it's already late today, why don't we go back and have a rest first, you release those noble lords and rich merchants first, How about we come back tomorrow to discuss what happened tonight?"

"No! I won't be deceived by you again... I will never be deceived by you again!"

After the words fell, Fleisch pointed at Ariel and shouted loudly: "I have decided to do things in my own way, Ariel Garcia! Don't try to lie to me, and don't want me to follow your steps! If you are not willing to accept my method, then I will do it in my own way! Just wait!"

Afterwards, Fleisch immediately turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Ariel immediately became more alert!

Now Fleisch's mood is too right, if he is allowed to leave at this time, then he will definitely do something terrible!Especially for those aristocratic and wealthy businessmen, they are more likely to do the most out of control things!

At that moment, Ariel waved her hand and immediately ordered: "Mr. Fleisher! Please stay first!"

With Ariel's command, Ke Ke next to him, Cheese and Mochi standing not far away, and other Song of Mermaid members and security team members who were maintaining order in the crowd stepped forward one after another, clenched the elements in their hands The gun seemed a little nervous.

It wasn't just Ariel who was nervous, the soldiers of the Thunder Army immediately became nervous after seeing the changes. They all raised the short-barreled elemental guns in their hands, looking very hesitant.

Seeing this, Ariel immediately shouted: "Soldiers of the Thunder Army! You don't have to do this! You were all born poor, and I was born a slave. Don't you want to see the destruction of the empire with me? huh?! We have too much in common to tell! Not gun to gun here!"

After the refutation just now, Ariel's theory has already penetrated into the hearts of these soldiers.They look at me and I look at you, and they start to look more hesitant.

But when these soldiers hesitated, Fleisher's face flashed with surprise, then he gritted his teeth, turned and ran away.At the same time, several powerful Thunder Army loyalists who accompanied him also turned around and left with Fleisch.

Seeing Fleisch's actions, Ariel immediately understood what this guy wanted to do.

The 900 soldiers here have already been moved by what I said, and Fleisch obviously has no way to command smoothly.But outside of here, there are more than [-] soldiers who have not been "brainwashed" by Ariel Garcia, so what he has to do now is to contact the rest of his soldiers as soon as possible!Ariel really couldn't imagine how bad things would be if such an army formed a sense of resistance in a marginal province where there was almost no regular army.

It was this kind of worry that made her immediately make a decision——

Even if Fleisher is killed immediately, he must not be allowed to meet those scattered Thunder Army soldiers!

"General Frysh!"

Ariel yelled loudly. At this moment, a small figure had already leapt into the air in place, bent its bow and set an arrow, accompanied by a pair of blood-red eyes under the shadow of the moon. When the fingers were released, the blood arrow flew away. As if feeling Ariel's mood, he quickly shot at the vest of Fleisch who was leaving in a hurry!

Such a result disappointed Ariel, but she was already mentally prepared to accept it.

But when the bow and arrow were about to hit Fleish's vest, a follower at the side noticed it in time, and immediately dodged to push him up.

The arrow pierced the man's shoulder, and amidst the spray of blood, the soldier shouted at Fleisher, and immediately raised his elemental gun to aim at this place.

It was not aimed at the Mochi that fell to the ground, nor at other members of Mermaid Song, the sheriff, or the soldiers of the Thunder Army standing still, but at the citizens sitting in the stands, silently observing everything here we...

"Stop! Don't do such a thing!!!"

Ariel was startled, and shouted loudly!

At the same time, the other soldiers who followed away also stopped and pointed their guns at the unarmed citizens.When these citizens saw that the muzzles of those elemental guns started to aim at themselves, they immediately exclaimed. There was a sound of panic and wailing from the already crowded stands. The direction was crowded, but the exit was immediately blocked. Amidst the quarrels and crying, no one could get out.

Seeing the stands on both sides fall into chaos, Ariel's heart literally rose to her throat!

The Mermaid Song members under her banner now don't care about chasing those fleeing guys, they rushed to the stands one after another, using their bodies or weapons and shields to block the people in the stands.But even so, once those elemental guns fired, there was no guarantee that no one would be injured...or die.

At that moment, Ariel even thought that time had entered eternity...

But fortunately, the soldiers of the Thunder Army seemed to be just delaying time in this way. After their general ran out and boarded an elemental vehicle, they put down the elemental guns in their hands, got into the vehicle one after another, and drove away. Can't catch up anymore.

"I'll go after it!"

Nuomi, who is a blood clan, left her fellow clan who were maintaining order at this time, and came to Ariel's side.

But looking at the vehicles that had gone away, Ariel shook her head and could only sigh in return...

----

Under the moonlit night, the element car was galloping.

The leader of the Thunder Army and his subordinates in the car drove the car towards their destination without saying a word.

Except for Fleisch, other fighters, you look at me, and I look at you.Although they were still loyal to their leader at the last moment, there was no doubt that Fleisch had lost the road debate just now.

And the path proposed by Earl Ariel Garcia is indeed extremely attractive...

Who doesn't want to live a good life in peace and stability?

Even if these fighters are shield warriors, archers, priests, and assassins who have undergone rigorous training, even if they now have an elemental gun in their hands, if they can live a normal life without worrying about food and clothing, who would like to live with death all day long? For?

It's just that they can't say these words, let alone betray their generals.

Every one of them was rescued by the general before, and Fleisch treated them like his own brothers without a doubt, and they all swore that they would charge forward for the Thunder Army.

No matter how many doubts there are in their hearts, loyalty and friendship will not make them abandon their generals and brothers... Since it is what Fleiser wants to do, they will definitely do their best and be the most perfect.

Even... this approach itself is wrong.

The elemental car made a circle around Pelican City, and rushed towards the Long Sleeping Mountain Range at the fastest speed, and rushed to the foot of the mountain.

Undoubtedly, that was the place where the [-] Thunder Army soldiers and those wealthy merchant lords were stationed.

As soon as the two parties come into contact, Fleisch can use his prestige to instantly regain the command of the entire Thunder Army, and then lead the army and the kidnapped hostages away, then use blackmail to obtain ransom, and finally continue to live on recruiting , continue to rob life.

Although this kind of life doesn't know when it will end, it is the life they are most familiar with.It can't be too bad to go back to the life you are familiar with, right?

But at this time...

Stab it--!

As the element car slammed to a stop, all the people in the car were hit by inertia.

But soon, they discovered the reason for the element car to stop.

A person is now standing in front of the element car.

A boy, or rather, a one-armed boy.

"Jelly?!" After seeing the young man with a broken arm for the first time, a thought flashed through Fleisher's mind, that he must take his nephew with him.Therefore, he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't even think about why this nephew who was standing next to the stands at the starting line of the game could stand beside him now.He didn't even think about the snow-white cat floating beside the boy with the broken arm.

At that moment, he didn't have any scruples about the subordinates who were pulling his clothes behind him. He stepped forward, stretched out his hand with a serious smile on his face, and wanted to hold his nephew, and said at the same time: "You came just in time! Uncle is going to bring You go to a place, and I will hand over the Thunder Army to you! From now on, you will be the second in command of our Thunder Army!"

only……

Just when his outstretched hand was about to touch Jelly's right shoulder, the boy's shoulder sank and he dodged his palm.

On the side, the white cat flying in mid-air yawned and said with a very sleepy look: "I have fulfilled your request. Next, it depends on your own choice."

Jelly nodded slightly, and the white cat flew aside, licked its paws, and rubbed its ears as if watching a play.
