Chapter 178 Trust in the Guidance of Destiny

"You are just evading your responsibilities. You are pushing the kingdom into the abyss just for your own future. I ask you, can we win with the little power we have now?" Ariel said angrily.

Monger Gray River said, not to be outdone: "How can we know if we don't fight? The gods have given us strength and courage. Are we going to hide them like a piece of soft meat hidden in a shell?!"

An undisguised roar came from inside, scaring the guards outside the door so much that they quietly moved away.

This is a quarrel between the kingdom's general and the princess, so it would be safer for them to stay away from here.

Every country has its own problems, and every problem has different solutions.

Ariel believed that pirates were just a minor problem. They were few in number and did not make many demands. They were like natural disasters. There was no need to put resources on natural disasters every day.

After every tsunami and storm, the people of the Angry Tide Kingdom continue to live their lives the same way.

If every day is spent fighting natural disasters, who will fish, who will farm, who will build ships, who will forge iron? But Munger doesn't think so. For a soldier like him, the enemy is there, how can he ignore it, how can he pay tribute to the enemy? The teachings of the Storm Lord are not like this. They should destroy everything with thunder and storms.

The two people had completely different positions and were arguing fiercely.

Ariel found that she had no way to convince the other party, and in the end she could only take out her Storm Hammer and smash it hard on the table.

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

Mong Grey River was startled and said excitedly: "What do you want to do?! Princess, are you going to murder a general of the kingdom?!"

Ariel said disdainfully: "Didn't you say that the gods gave us courage and strength to defeat the strong enemy? Now, I challenge you, whoever wins will be the one to obey! If you lose, you must apologize to my father and ask him to withdraw the order to prepare the country for war!"

Mung Grey River said angrily: "You are crazy. Can the kingdom's major events be decided by a duel?!"

What a crazy person! He is just a general leading troops, and Ariel is a legendary storm priest. If they fight, won't he be dead?!

"That's not what you said just now. You kept emphasizing courage and strength, as if you would definitely succeed if you had these two things. Why are you afraid now? Where's your courage? You don't even dare to accept a woman's challenge. Are you still qualified to be the general of the Kingdom of Rage?!"

Ariel didn't give him any chance to refute and threw her gloves directly.

This was a signal for a duel, and if Mung Grey River refused, he would be laughed at if the news got out.

Of course, ridicule could not shake his position, but in the Kingdom of Rage, many things would become troublesome after being labeled a coward.

This Princess Ariel really hit his sore spot.

A duel was out of the question. Mung Gray River didn't want to be killed by Ariel's hammer, so he could only compromise and say, "What do you want?!"

"Let my father take back his order! National mobilization will only make us poorer. Do you know how many people will starve to death if we do this?"

Ariel came here for this reason in the first place. Warmongering is not suitable for the Kingdom of Angry Tide. What they need most now is to recuperate. After so many years of founding the country, the population has not grown much. This is the biggest failure of the Kings of Angry Tide.

Without a large population, how can there be national strength? Without national strength, how can there be combat effectiveness? The overseas islands are already a very harsh environment, with tsunamis, earthquakes, storms, and various natural disasters emerging one after another. The Kingdom of the Wrath of Tide has no policies that benefit the people, and relies entirely on military suppression to force them to surrender. If this continues, it will be over sooner or later.

Ariel doesn't want to inherit a kingdom on the verge of destruction. She thinks she should learn more from Ryan's policies and be nicer to the lower class people so that they can overcome the hardships.

Although Ariel's ideas are different for each generation of angry kings, their way of doing things is just as simple and crude.

If you don't do what she wants, then let's duel and whoever wins will have the final say.

Mung Gray River had no choice but to discuss, "It's impossible to cancel the plan completely. The Raging Tide Legion has already started preparing their magic. Even if they stop now, they will still have to rest for half a year."

"I don't care about the Legion. The martial law order must be lifted, and 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 ever seen any tactics they use? They always fight head-on. What's the point of blocking the fishing port?!"

"Okay, I will suggest to the king to lift the blockade. I will do whatever you say, Princess. Can you let me go?"

Mung Gray River was really helpless, but in the Kingdom of Raging Tide, the bigger the fist, the truth. Wasn't the reason why this princess was chosen as the heir because she was a legendary powerhouse?

However, this request is not too excessive. These undead have never played any tricks or schemes. There is really not much point in imposing martial law. We just need to wait for the other side to attack.

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

However, the army is still on standby, ready to fight to the death with those undead at any time.

However, Ariel probably didn't expect that not long after the martial law was lifted, Amberxiu, in disguise, brought the demigod Aige to the outskirts of the capital of the Kingdom of Angry Tide.

"This is Nanami Castle, the capital of the Kingdom of Raging Tide."

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

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

Fishermen who make a living by fishing have been through many hardships, exposed to the sea breeze, sea water, sun and rain, so they generally age quickly.

The two men looked no different from other fishermen, the only difference being that they seemed a little more relaxed. The others were in a hurry, busy going out to sea, busy going ashore, busy sorting out fishing nets and handling fish.

Amber Xiu and Ai Ge walked slowly among the crowd, appearing to be too idle.

But no one else cared. The king changed his orders every day. He just said that the port would be closed and then opened it again in the blink of an eye. The back and forth wasted too much time, and everyone was busy making up for it, otherwise someone in the family would go hungry.

Amber Xiu and Ai Ge walked through the dirty and smelly port, mixed in the crowd, and headed towards the Seven Seas City.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers were too lazy to check these smelly fishermen and just let them go.

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

"After I left my main body, I couldn't exert my full strength. I really don't understand why you insisted on choosing to sneak in?" Ai Ge asked curiously.

Ai Ge's original plan was to lead her pirates to attack the Seven Seas City directly, enter the sea of ​​the Seven Seas City from the underwater entrance, and then directly attack the palace. After suppressing the palace of the Angry Tide Kingdom, she can slowly search for the artifact that Ambersu needs.

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

Amber explained: "Captain Aige, your main body is a ghost ship. It can only exert its greatest power at sea. Even if we can enter the inland sea, as long as they defend the land, they can still limit your power. Instead of fighting a war of attrition like this, it is better to spend some time to steal the artifact. Needless casualties are a pure waste."

Even though the lives of the undead are worthless, Amberxiu doesn't want Aige's pirate group to suffer heavy losses here.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Many signs indicate 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 he must consider his ally.

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

If we can get the artifact quietly, why bother to confront the Kingdom of Rage head-on?

No matter how small a kingdom is, it is a behemoth composed of millions of people, and it always has something hidden in its treasure chest.

Amber Xiu is a businessman and he definitely won't do business that will lose money.

"So what are you going to do next? Let me make it clear first, too much time has passed. The location provided by the elves is very vague. We can only roughly determine that it is near the inner sea of ​​the palace. If we want to sneak in, it is not possible to disguise ourselves as fishermen."

"It's okay. I have a solution."

Amber Xiu took Ai Ge with him to sneak in, mainly hoping that this demigod would help him at a critical moment and take him out after being discovered by the Kingdom of Raging Tide. There was no need to trouble Ai Ge to find the things.

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

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

The illusory fate cannot shake a dead leaf, but it can bring the breeze to blow the leaf away.

Amber said to Aige, "Follow us. This leaf can help us find the location of the artifact."

"Is this the power of prophecy? Wizards really have many tricks."

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

"There's no point in having too many tricks. Sometimes I'd rather focus on one thing."

These words came from the bottom of his heart. If he had focused on alchemy at the beginning, the position of God of Alchemy might have been his, and he wouldn't have had to be a fake for so long.

Now that we have gone off the beaten path, we can only keep going.

The dead leaves floated forward, and the two old fishermen followed behind, walking up the street, passing through the alleys, and soon arrived at a busy place.

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

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

"Is this the location of the artifact?" Ai Ge asked curiously.

"I don't know, but fate won't fool me."

Amberxiu was still staring at the dead leaf. The leaf had not yet fallen to the ground, but was still floating forward and finally flew to the center of the square.

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

Ai Ge smiled and asked An Boxiu, "So now, is destiny dictating this person, or the position where he stands?"

Amber hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tie him up first."
