Fang Zheng's personality is to do what he wants to do. After he finished speaking, he immediately took Sandra to leave the palace. However, just as the three of them were about to step out of the palace gate, guards soon came forward.
"Master Shandora, please stay."
“Woo…”
Seeing the guards coming over, Sandra couldn't help but groan and hid behind Fang Zheng, while Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at the guards in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
"Lady Shandora is the leader of our 'Salamander'. If she leaves the station without permission, I'm afraid there will be problems. So I'm sorry, Lady Shandora, please stay in the palace."
"Oh, you heard that? Sandra?"
Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at Sandra.
"So what are your orders as leader?"
“Woo…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Sandra hesitated for a moment, then walked out from behind Fang Zheng and stared at the guard in front of her.
"I'm going out for patrol, get out of my way!"
"Lady Sandra..."
Facing Sandra's order, the two guards looked at each other, but did not move aside. Instead, they took a step forward together, raised their spears and crossed them to block the exit of the palace. Seeing this scene, Sandra couldn't help but frowned, while the two guards continued to speak.
"I'm very sorry, but please don't leave the base. After all, the level ruler meeting is about to begin. If anything happens to you, I'm afraid that other rulers will have the opportunity to take advantage of you. For the sake of 'Salamander', please be patient..."
"But the 'God's Disappearance' incident has not been resolved, has it? If the problem is not resolved by the time the meeting begins, it will only get worse!"
Facing the guard's words, Sandra clenched her fists and refuted forcefully.
"Lord Mandela has already brought people to deal with this matter. Lord Sandora, you'd better stay in the palace..."
"But……"
"Sandora."
Just when Sandra was about to argue, Fang Zheng reached out and held her shoulder.
“Remember who you are.”
"Mr. Fang Zheng?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sandra looked up at Fang Zheng in surprise, and Fang Zheng smiled at her.
"You have to remember that you are the leader of 'Salamander', and they are just two soldiers at the door. You don't have to explain to them what you want to do and how you want to do it. You just need to ask them whether they are willing to obey your orders."
“…”
Hearing this, Sandra was silent for a moment and looked at the two guards again.
"Get out of my way."
"But... Lady Sandra, this..."
"This is the leader's order! Do you want to disobey?!"
“…”
Faced with Sandra's roar, the two guards were speechless for a moment. They looked at each other awkwardly, and then silently turned aside.
"We will report this to Lord Mandela."
But in the end, they still timidly replied. Sandra didn't even turn her head, and just followed Fang Zheng and Akemi Homura out of the palace.
After leaving the palace and walking out onto the street, the tense expression on Sandra's face suddenly relaxed.
"Wow...Mr. Fang Zheng, is this really okay? I feel like it's too overbearing..."
“This is also a solution.”
Fang Zheng looked forward and answered casually.
"You should understand that even though you have been promoted to the leader of 'Salamander' and are the class ruler of the North District, the people below do not obey your orders at all."
“…”
Hearing this, Sandra's face turned even more bitter, while Fang Zheng continued to talk on his own.
"Since the two sides cannot reach a trusting relationship, even if you have to use force, you must ensure your absolute command over 'Salamander'. At the very least, you must ensure that they completely obey your orders, whether your orders are right or wrong, they must obey them completely."
"But this...what if I make the wrong choice? Wouldn't everyone trust me even less?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sandra asked back timidly, and Fang Zheng glanced at her.
"Then is your situation any different from now? You've also seen that even if you speak to them in a nice way, they won't obey your orders, but will act on their own. If they mess up, they can still blame you, saying that it was because 'the leader was too young to make the right judgment'... Are you willing to accept this result?"
"Of course I don't want to!!"
Sandra gritted her teeth and shouted, but the next moment she became dejected again.
"But even Brother Mandela didn't stand on my side. In fact, I had seen the prisoner with my own eyes before. He was a man wearing a cloak with the word '混' written on his back. I also told Brother Mandela about this, but Brother Mandela not only didn't believe me, he also refused to let me continue the search operation..."
Sandra clenched her fists and lowered her head.
"That's why I said you should be tougher. No matter they are right or wrong, you should insist that your subordinates obey your orders. Remember, you are the leader of 'Salamander' and the ruler of the North District. Logically, these guys should be humble in front of you. But now, the one who should be respected is being played around by you like a puppet. I think there must be many people in 'Salamander' who have this smug sense of superiority - after all, she is just a child, and she has to obey you if you say anything to her... hehe."
“Woo…”
Hearing this, Sandra's expression became more and more stiff, but she couldn't say anything.
"Instead of being kept in the dark by those guys and then taking the blame, why not take the initiative and take the responsibility yourself... The leader of the community is supposed to take responsibility, whether it's good or bad, you have to stick to it. It's useless to compromise blindly. The more you compromise, the more the other party will push you. Look at you now. As the leader of the community and the ruler of the North District, you are stopped by the guards when you go out. If you don't know, you would think you are a hostage under house arrest."
“…”
Hearing this, Sandra closed her eyes and sighed, but just when she was about to say something, suddenly...
"oops!"
A small hammer suddenly fell from the sky and hit Sandra on the head. At the same time, Fang Zheng and Homura Akemi also reached out and grabbed the cross that suddenly appeared above their heads and fell in free fall.
"What the hell is this?"
Fang Zheng looked at the cross in his hand, then stretched out his other hand and grabbed another hammer that fell from above his head.
As for Sandra...
"Woooooa ...
He was hit by the hammer again and squatted down with his head in his hands.
"Over here!"
At the same time, Fang Zheng let go of the hammer in his hand, reached out to the space next to him, and squeezed it hard. Then a figure was pulled out from the empty air by Fang Zheng.
She was a girl who looked about the same age and height as Kasukabe Yō. She had blue wavy twin ponytails and an unexpectedly terrifying figure—Kasukabe Yō's figure plus Shokuhou Misaki's chest armor. Yes, this was the legendary "giant girl with a baby face"...!!!
At this moment, Fang Zheng grabbed the girl's long ears, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry. Seeing this girl, Sandra also cried out in surprise.
"Ms. Vera?!"
"You know her?"
Fang Zheng let go of his right hand after hearing Sandra calling out the other person's name. Then the girl named Vera immediately stretched out her hands to cover her ears, staring at Fang Zheng with red eyes, as if she was bullied by Fang Zheng.
"Ah, this is Miss Vera Zar Ignefast, the leader of the 'Will-O'-Wisp'..."
Sandra also hurriedly introduced it at this moment.
"The leader of the will-o'-the-wisp..."
After hearing Sandra's introduction, Fang Zheng carefully looked at the girl in front of him. It must be said that although she looked taciturn, she had a sweet and charming charm. Ordinary men would probably be fascinated by her just by seeing her. But Fang Zheng was a veteran and had seen a lot, so he naturally didn't care too much.
In other words, Fang Zheng was familiar with the "Willow" community. After all, although he himself had not dealt with "Willow" much, his girls often received invitations from "Willow" to play the Gift Game. So from this perspective, the relationship between "Tiandao Palace" and "Willow" was not bad.
"But why did she attack us?"
"Miss Vera's hobby is to use blunt objects to attack the people she's interested in and observe their reactions. I've been teased by her several times..."
“…”
It's really an interest that is not easy to evaluate.
"So, this little Vera... runs pretty fast."
Considering that the other party was a member of the alliance with Tiandao Palace, Fang Zheng also planned to say hello to the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party disappeared as soon as he opened his mouth.
"That person is a great demon who is at the boundary between life and death. Mr. Fang Zheng, you'd better not...bully her casually."
Sandra gave a helpless advice at this moment, and Fang Zheng's eyes lit up after hearing Sandra's introduction.
"A demon of a certain realm? What would happen if I called her Old Lady Purple?"
"……Why?"
