This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 178 Believe in the guidance of fate

"You are just evading responsibility. You are pushing the kingdom into the abyss just for your own future. Let me ask you, can we win with this little strength now?" Ariel said angrily.

Not to be outdone, Meng Huihe said: "How would you know if you haven't fought before? The gods have given us strength and courage. Do we have to hide it and not use it, like a piece of soft meat hidden in a shell?!"

　　Undisguised roars came from inside, scaring the guards outside the door to quietly move away.

 This is a quarrel between the general and the princess of the kingdom. It is safer for them to stay away from here.

Each country has its own problems, and each problem has its own solutions.

Ariel believes that pirates are just a scabies disease. Their numbers are small and their requirements are not many. They are just like natural disasters. There is no need to devote resources to natural disasters every day.

　　After every tsunami and storm, the people in the Rage Kingdom still live a different life.

 If every day is spent fighting against natural disasters, then who will fish, farm, build ships, and forge iron?

But Meng didn’t think so. For a soldier like him, the enemy is there, how can he pretend to be invisible, and how can he pay tribute to the enemy?

 The teachings of the Storm Lords are not like this. They should destroy everything with thunder and storm.

 The two people have completely different positions and are at loggerheads.

“Okay, I will suggest to the king to lift the blockade. I will listen to you. Your Highness, can you let me go?”

 Without a large population, where would the national strength come from? Without national strength, where would the fighting power come from?

The overseas islands have a very harsh environment. Tsunamis, earthquakes, storms, and various natural disasters occur one after another. The Rage Kingdom has no policies to benefit its people, and relies entirely on force to suppress them and force them to surrender. If this continues, sooner or later it will be over.

Ariel said disdainfully: "Didn't you say that God gives us courage and strength, allowing us to use strength to defeat powerful enemies. Now, I challenge you, whoever wins will listen to whoever wins! If you lose, Please beg my father and ask him to take back the order to prepare the country for war!"

Meng Huihe was startled and said excitedly: "What do you want to do?! Your Royal Highness, are you planning to murder a general of the kingdom?!"

It is impossible to duel. Meng Gray River did not want to be killed by Ariel's hammer, so he could only compromise and said: "What do you want?!"

The violent force of thunder blew the large desk into pieces, and blackened ashes spread everywhere.

This is a signal for a duel. If Mengg Gray River refuses, people will laugh at him if this news spreads.

Ariel found that she could not convince the other party at all, so in the end she could only take out her storm hammer and slam it on the table.

"I don't care about the legion. The martial law order must be lifted so that fishermen can come and go freely. Are you afraid that the undead will disguise themselves as humans and sneak in?! This pirate group has been around for so many years. Have you seen any tricks they use? They are all. What’s the point of blocking the fishing port in a direct battle?”

Meng Ge Gray River really had no choice but to discuss: "It is impossible to completely cancel the plan. The Raging Tide Legion has already begun to prepare their magic. Even if they stop now, they will still have to rest for more than half a year."

 Ariel came here for this in the first place. Militarism is not suitable for the Kingdom of Rage. What they need most now is to recuperate. After so many years since the founding of the country, the population has not increased much. This is the biggest failure of the Wrathful Kings in the past.

 He is just a general leading troops, Ariel is a legendary storm priest, wouldn't he be dead in a fight? !

This Princess Ariel really hit his Achilles heel.

 Ariel would not give him any chance to refute, and directly threw her gloves.

Of course, ridicule cannot shake his position, but in the Kingdom of Rage, after being branded a coward, many things will become troublesome.

Ariel does not want to inherit a kingdom that is on the verge of destruction. She believes that she should learn more from Ryan's policies and treat the people at the bottom better, so that they can overcome this difficulty.

Meng Ge Huihe said angrily: "You are crazy. Can major events in the kingdom be decided by a duel?!"

　　If it doesn’t go according to what she wants, then let’s have a duel, and whoever wins will be left to his own devices.

"That's not what you said just now, courage and strength. You keep emphasizing this, as if you will definitely succeed with these two things. Why are you afraid now? Where is your courage? You don't even dare to be challenged by a woman. Dare you still be qualified to be the general of the Raging Tide Kingdom?"

“Let my father take back the order! National mobilization will only make us poorer. Do you know how many people will starve to death?”

 Although Ariel's thoughts were different from those of the Wrath Kings in the past generations, her ways of doing things were the same simple and crude.

Monge Gray River is really helpless, but in the Kingdom of Raging Tide, a big fist is the truth. Isn't the reason why this princess was chosen as the heir because she is a legendary strong person?

However, this request is not too much. These undead have never played any tricks. The martial law is indeed of little significance. They just wait for the other party to attack.

 With the cooperation of Monge Gray River, Ariel successfully got the king to withdraw the order of martial law.

However, the army is still preparing for war, ready to fight the undead at any time.

However, Ariel probably didn’t expect that shortly after the martial law was lifted, Amberxiu, who had disguised himself, took Aige, the demigod, outside the capital of the Kingdom of Rage.

 “This is Nanhai City, the capital of the Wrathful Tide Kingdom.”

Ai Ge, who had turned into an old fisherman lady, pointed at the big city ahead and said to Amber Xiu beside her.

Amberxiu also transformed into an old fisherman, with a weathered look on his face. The two of them walked on the bustling pier, looking no different from those dirty fishermen.

Fishermen who make a living by fishing have been exposed to wind and frost, being blown by the sea wind, soaked in sea water, and exposed to the sun and rain, so they generally age quickly. The two of them look no different from other fishermen. The only difference may be that they look a little leisurely. Others are in a hurry, busy going out to sea, busy docking, busy arranging fishing nets and processing fish catches.

Amberxiu and Aige walked slowly among the crowd, looking too idle.

But others didn't care. The king changed his order overnight. He just said that the port was closed and opened again in the blink of an eye. This time wasted too much time, and everyone was busy making up for it, otherwise someone at home would be hungry.

Amberxiu and Aige walked through the dirty and smelly port, mixed in the crowd, and walked towards the Seven Seas City.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers didn't bother to check on these smelly fishermen and just let them go.

After entering the city gate, the two found a secret corner and returned to their original appearance.

"After I left my body, I couldn't exert my full strength. I really don't understand why you had to choose to infiltrate?" Ai Ge asked strangely.

Ai Ge's original plan was to directly lead her pirates to attack Qihai City, enter Qihai City from the seabed entrance, and then directly attack the palace. After suppressing the palace of the Kingdom of Rage, she could slowly find what Amber Xiu needed. Artifact.

But Amberxiu gave another suggestion, which was to sneak in quietly.

Amberxiu explained: "Captain Ai Ge, your body is a ghost ship. It can only exert its greatest power at sea. Even if we can enter the inland sea, they can still limit your power as long as they stick to the land. Instead of this head-on confrontation In a war of attrition, it is better to spend some time stealing the artifact. Needless casualties are a pure waste. "

Even if the lives of the undead are worthless, Amber Xiu doesn’t want Ai Ge’s pirate group to suffer heavy losses here.

There are many signs that something big is going to happen soon. Ai Ge is a member of the Mourning Poets Society and a natural ally of Amber Xiu, so she must consider her allies.

 He is here to find the artifact, not to fight.

If you can get the artifact quietly, why bother to go head-to-head with the Kingdom of Rage?

 No matter how small a kingdom is, it is still a behemoth with tens of millions of people gathered together, and there is always something that holds the upper hand.

 Amberson is a businessman, and he must not do business that is losing money.

"Then what are you going to do next? Let's talk about it first. It's been too long, and the location provided by the elves is very vague. It can only be roughly determined to be near the inner sea of ​​the palace. If we want to sneak in, we can't pretend to be fishermen. It can be done.”

 “It doesn’t matter, I have a solution.”

Amber Xiu pulled Ai Ge and infiltrated together, mainly hoping that the demigod would help him at the critical moment, so that he could take him out after being discovered by the Kingdom of Rage. There is no need to trouble Ai Ge when it comes to finding things.

Amberxiu walked to the wall, picked a withered yellow leaf from the vine, and threw it away.

 The dice of fate appeared around him, hitting the dead leaves one by one.

Illusory destiny cannot shake a dead leaf, but it can induce the breeze to blow the leaf far away.

Amberxiu said to Ai Ge: "Follow me, this leaf can help us find the location of the artifact."

“This is the power of prophecy? There are indeed many tricks for mages.”

Ai Ge's face was full of envy. Even though as a demigod, she could easily defeat Amber Xiu, but in terms of the means of using magic, she was far inferior to the legendary mage Amber Xiu.

“It’s useless to have many tricks. Sometimes I’d rather be more specialized.”

These words are also spoken from the heart. If he had focused on alchemy, the position of the God of Alchemy might have been his, and he would not have been a parallel import for so long.

Now that the road has gone wild, we can only continue walking.

The dead leaves floated forward, and the old fishermen they turned into followed. They walked up the street and passed through the alleys, and soon came to a busy place.

 It looked like an empty square, with many people working hard under whippings.

They carried the rocks and put them in the designated places as required. If they were a little slow, they would be whipped.

 “Is this where the artifact is?” Ai Ge asked strangely.

“I don’t know, but fate won’t fool me.”

Amberxiu was still staring at the dead leaf, which had not yet fallen to the ground. It was still flying forward, and finally flew to the center of the square.

However, the dead leaves did not fall on the ground, but fell on a bearded man.

Ai Ge smiled and asked Amber Xiu: "Now, is the destiny indicating this person or the position where he stands?"

Amberxiu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Tie the person first and then talk."
