Chapter 180 Let Mong die without a burial place
Facing the aggressive Ariel, Amber Xiu subconsciously wanted to open the private space and release Ai Ge to start the unparalleled.
But after hearing her words, Amber found that his identity had not been exposed. If he took action now, it would enter a state of war, and it would become difficult to find the artifact.
Seeing that Ariel's hammer was about to fall, Amber first cast a magic shield on himself. This spell can be used by any spellcaster, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.
Lightning exploded, causing cracks on his mage shield.
Amber was surprised. This girl was so strong? Even without the blessing of the Golden Throne, it wouldn't be broken by this girl's casual blow, right? Ariel was more surprised than Amber. In her impression, Mung Grey River would be seriously injured if he was hit by this hammer. The followers of the Lord of Storms were so fierce when fighting.
But this coward actually blocked it with a magic shield? Something is wrong, he is hiding his strength!
Ariel would not give up. After her hammer failed, the lightning on her body became even stronger.
With the blessing of thunder, her speed was twice as fast as before.
"Acceleration? No, it's a similar effect!"
The hammer swung like a whirlwind, instantly smashing Amber's mage shield.
If Amber hadn't quickly performed a Phantom Step to flash dozens of meters away, he would have been hit by several hammers.
Whether he would be injured or not is another matter. But this blow of the hammer would most likely break the effect of his transformation, and he would be exposed.
Ariel saw Amber running away and said in surprise: "You old man, you hid your strength before!"
Amber: ...
"There's no point in hiding your strength. Let's see where you can run to!" Ariel roared, then jumped towards him.
He could jump over a distance of dozens of meters in one leap. His jumping ability was truly terrifying.
Ariel, surrounded by lightning, was like a falling meteor, smashing down heavily, shattering the ground around her, and the scattered lightning left large areas of charred ground.
Amberxiu could only teleport again to avoid the thunder attack, but this time he wisely chose the location with the most people.
Ariel wanted to press on, but when she saw that Amber was surrounded by civilians, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Coward, don't you dare to duel with me!"
He is truly a believer in the Lord of Storms; his ferocious appearance is even more terrifying than that of a raging orc.
Amber did not want to fight with her, he just wanted to find an opportunity to dig the artifact in peace. Why did this princess fight with him? Amber tried hard to recall the memory of Monger Gray River.
Even if he could unravel the other person's soul, Amber was only a bystander after all, and he couldn't remember much after a cursory glance. This Princess Ariel...seems to be a surrenderist?
No, there is something wrong with Munger Gray River's perspective. Princess Ariel just disagrees with him politically, and cannot be simply labeled as a capitulator. Which capitulator would be so fierce and beat anyone he sees?
Amber thought quickly, and then said to the furious Princess Ariel: "If you have anything to say, just talk it out. If we fight here, only the people of the kingdom will get hurt."
"How dare you say that? Look who is using civilians as slaves!"
Although Ariel was angry, she actually restrained the lightning on her body. It seems that this princess still cares about the common people.
Amber tried to recall the memories related to Monger Gray River and tried to answer: "If Your Highness is not satisfied, just let them go. I will find someone else to complete the project."
Ariel sneered and said, "Haha, do you think I'm a fool? If you can catch them once, you will do it a second time. As long as I'm not paying attention, you will continue to do such cruel and inhumane things!"
"Why don't you come!" Amber Xiu said decisively.
Ariel was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, Your Highness, since you are worried, why don't you just leave this matter to you?"
Amber Xiu now just wanted to get rid of this woman as soon as possible. If she took over the project, it would be better. He could just change the place to dig the tunnel.
Mung Gray River went home and cried because he was humiliated in public by Princess Ariel. This excuse can be used in the case, and he doesn't have to worry about anyone checking his identity.
Ariel seemed to be confused by Amber's move. Why did this man suddenly shirk responsibility? Amber did not want to give her time to think, and said sarcastically: "Noble and kind Princess Ariel, since you don't want me to use civilians to build the magic circle, then please handle this matter yourself. I am a cruel and incompetent person, so I'd better go home and sleep."
After saying this, Amberxiu turned and left, planning to find a spot to dig down after leaving this area. If he calculated the angle and dug diagonally, he should be able to get back to the bottom of the magic circle.
But Ariel sneered and said, "Don't try to push this responsibility onto me. It was you who decided to go to war against those undead. I said from the beginning that this was unnecessary and a waste of national strength."
Oh, this princess is not stupid. Her personality can also attract the attention of the Lord of Storms and earn his blessing?
From the previous confrontation, Amber Xiu could already tell that this was for the blessed storm priest, who was truly legendary and could turn the square into ruins. But how could such a calm and caring princess get the blessing of the Storm Lord?
This cruel god wants to torture people every day. When has he ever shown mercy?
The only reason Amberxiu could think of was that the Lord of Storms in the God War a thousand years ago was severely beaten by the Lord of Dawn, and he wanted to learn the Lord of Dawn's tactics, so he used this princess who had a bad temper but was good to civilians as an example.
But now the problem is, this princess is not giving in, how to deal with it?
This time, it was Ariel's turn to provoke.
"What's the matter? If you don't torture civilians, you are incapable of completing your military plan? Mung Gray River, I have always looked down on you, but I didn't expect you to be so useless."
Amber Xiu wanted to roll his eyes. What a mess. Mung Grey River was just too unlucky. According to the custom of the Son of Storm, status is not a problem. If you can have a fair duel with him, even if the other party is a king, he will give you due respect.
Unfortunately, the hawkish Mung Gray River was no match for the dovish princess and he didn't even dare to go to the duel arena. As a result, he was scolded and pointed at and couldn't fight back.
However, Amberxiu quickly realized that Mung Gray River was just unlucky and it had nothing to do with him.
Amber Xiu instantly showed an expression of shame and sadness, and said to Ariel: "Yes, that's right, Princess. I am indeed a useless waste. The only achievement I can show in my life is killing a few undead."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The mocking expression on Ariel's face was distorted, and she asked in confusion: "You...you are speaking sarcastically...right?"
Amber Xiu started to act again: "How is it possible? I speak from the bottom of my heart. In fact, I know that everything I did was wrong. Otherwise, why can't I even break through to the legendary level after so many years? The gods have blessed you, which has already explained everything. It's just that I was blinded by power and could not face my mistakes. Princess, you are the real pillar of the country, and I am just a clown who is greedy for power."
Ariel has lived in the Kingdom of Angry Tides for so many years, but she has never seen any important figure in the kingdom willing to admit his mistakes.
In this land, you can lose, but sometimes you really can't admit your mistakes. This will make people look cowardly and be despised more than making a mistake.
Mung Gray River was the highest-ranking military commander in the Kingdom of Angry Tide. He suddenly admitted his mistake, leaving Ariel at a loss. How should she respond now?
Ariel had originally come here to quarrel with Monger Gray River, but the other party suddenly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, leaving her at a loss for words for a moment. She could only stammer, "You are... I... Actually, you don't have to say it so seriously..."
Amber Xiu said loudly: "No, it is really that serious. My arrogance and stupidity have caused the country to waste too much manpower and resources. I am a sinner of the country.
"Your Highness, you are right. This magic circle can only be built in time by exploiting the civilians. But what is the point of destroying the undead after it is built? For our entire kingdom, how much are the goods that the undead occasionally steal worth? This behavior of wasting people's money and effort is ultimately just for the sake of face, and it does not benefit the entire kingdom at all."
Ariel was very touched. Finally, someone could understand her thoughts. This was the only soulmate in the entire kingdom.
Although this guy was disgusting before, I didn't expect that he would come to his senses one day.
Amber Xiu continued loudly: "Your Highness, let me make up for my mistake. Everyone listen, we will not build this magic circle anymore, let's go back and live our lives. All injured civilians will be arranged to receive free treatment. I, Monger Gray River, will be responsible for compensating for the work that was delayed today!"
After a moment of silence, the civilians burst into cheers.
Even Ariel couldn't help but look at Amber with admiration. She didn't expect that his repentance would come so quickly and so thoroughly that he actually stopped the job directly.
Ariel said to Amber: "But, my father..."
Amber Xiu continued to deceive, "I will bear all the blame. Your Highness, please rest assured that I will put an end to this war even if I risk my life."
"End the war? You want to negotiate with the undead? Do you have a way to communicate with them?" Ariel said in surprise.
Amber Xiu nodded and said, "We have been fighting with them for such a long time, so sending a letter is always possible. If this is not possible, how can I lock their position and set up an ambush? Your Highness, please rest assured that I will do my best to negotiate with the Silent Night Pirates, but please help share the pressure on your Majesty.
"Three days, I only need three days, and there will be results! If you can't do it, let Mung Grey River die without a burial place, and let my body be devoured by the fish!"
Amberxiu's words were so powerful that even Ariel was in awe.
This oath is very serious. It seems that this person is really determined to change.
Although this change was a bit too big, Ariel had no doubts. The people of their Angry Tide Kingdom have always been straightforward.
Ariel raised the hammer and swore with the swirling lightning: "Don't worry, I promise that my father will not cause you any trouble in three days. Do whatever you want!"
