Chapter 242: Don't cry, Qinglong
"What's going on?"
"Her Majesty has issued an order that we will no longer be loyal to Lord Poseidon!"
"What happened to Your Majesty?"
At the bottom of the sea, the mermaids who live in the crystal palace are restless, and no one understands why the queen suddenly betrayed the god of the sea. However, although the green dragon is a god, the queen is the real master of these merfolk - this world is not a theocratic world, and the green dragon is not so worshipped.
Mermaids have always revered the god of the sea in history, but it is the instinctive awe of sea creatures, and the green dragon is high above and has little to do with their lives, and his importance is naturally not as important as the queen who leads the people to struggle.
Such a sea god, to be honest, his influence is not low, but it is definitely not enough to drive the entire sea tribe to work hard - just like everyone on earth shouts God and Buddha, but when they really want humans to start a war, how many people will pay attention?
At the end of the day, it's all about the mermaid queen. Because she was willing to work hard for Qinglong, this is why the tide appeared.
In the Crystal Palace, the nine priests hurried back from outside with expressions, and the betrayal of the green dragon was too shocking, and these priests came back with different degrees of concern to see what the queen would do next.
In front of the palace gate, two green dragons fell to the ground, completely lifeless.
"How dare Her Majesty ......"
A priest recognized the identities of these two green dragons, which were the guards arranged by the holy beast Qinglong beside the mermaid queen, not only with superb strength but also with extremely noble status, but he didn't want to die tragically here.
The faces of each of the priests turned pale, and the situation was worse than they had thought - to kill the green dragon. This means that their queen has moved her true character and blocked the last retreat.
"Go and meet Your Majesty!"
Several people swam towards the palace, and all the way to the main hall of the council unimpeded, and the mermaid queen sat on the throne with the same expression as usual.
After the ceremony, the priests stood in order.
"I think you've got the news too." The queen waited for them to stand up, and then spoke first: "In the future, the war on land will be decided by me, and I don't need to listen to the orders of Lord Poseidon anymore." ”
"Your Majesty's decision, we will definitely abide by it." The priestess who was at the top of the line looked cautious, and first established her own side to reassure the queen. Then he asked his doubts: "But wasn't there some accident that caused His Majesty to change the policy he had set before?" ”
"Accidental... Just look at that......"
The mermaid queen gestured to the maids on either side. Immediately, someone handed a letter to the priests and told them to take turns to review it - this letter was the same order that Qinglong had issued after receiving Xia Han's warning to stop the tide, in fact it was later than the mutiny, but the insiders were dead.
Some of the priests looked at the letterhead. I seem to understand it in my heart.
"Again and again......," the queen frowned. The voice was a little low: "We will start a war according to the request of Lord Seagod. But he treats us as toys, fights when he wants, stops when he doesn't want to fight, and regards the life of the Sea Clan as child's play! ”
This sentence is not wrong at all, the leader of the tide is Qinglong. However, Qinglong's vision is the world - he is cautious by nature, and wants to stop the war whenever the wind blows, fearing that the tide will allow the demons to take advantage of the opportunity.
After the tide of the sea was raised, he was bound by the green dragon again and again, and the race that sacrificed the most in the war was not the land, but the sea tribe. The Sea Tribes are several times more numerous than all the land inhabitants, and Qinglong thinks that they can afford it, but he has never thought about what kind of mood these Sea Tribes are in.
"I've gotten a lot of complaints these days, including your ...... I've always chosen to ignore it, and I believe that Poseidon will be measured. ”
The Mermaid Queen sighed: "But I was wrong, Lord Poseidon once again wanted to use us, and he wanted us to stop—it should be said to be a postponement, a postponement of the war...... It will give the land-dwellers time to rest and let them retake the land, and in the future, when the Poseidon orders to attack again, how many people will we have to sacrifice to save the situation? ”
"I am the queen of the merfolk and the sea people...... But if I continue to follow the instructions of Lord Poseidon and ruthlessly use my people, then I will not be like a king, but like a pope who is obsessed with gods. ”
The Queen's words echoed in the hearts of the priests, and many felt the same way—no one wanted to be used, and the Blue Dragon would only give orders in war, and he would not want to participate in the battle at all, and such a person would be more likely to gain the disgust of others.
Although the Qinglong Clan has taught some sea tribe spells to evoke wind and rain, isn't that also driving others to do things, but they themselves are out of the matter?
At this thought, the priests quickly changed their minds—the Queen's words resonated for some reason today, and what she said sounded like a verified truth, and no one had any doubts in their heads, not the slightest doubt.
"Her Majesty is right, it's best for us to lead the war, and we can't trust the sea god anymore."
"The last time they recalled the Cuiyue Qinglong Clan, they also participated, and they recalled the Cuiyue over the sea...... Without considering the appearance of the emerald moon at all, we will lose the power to call for a rainstorm! ”
"I think they deliberately made us think we had learned something great, and it turned out to be useless!"
The priests' voices heated up with the conversation, and a fire ignited in their hearts.
Looking at such a courtier, a smile flashed in the mermaid queen's eyes - exactly the same smile as the Mona Lisa, who was lying in the queen's bedroom reading a book leisurely.
"Succeeded......"
The corners of the Demon Lord's mouth were slightly hooked, and the pages under her gaze did not show words, but the scene of the arguing hall appeared.
This is how unrivaled power should be used - not violence, not war, but strategy, using the chess pieces in hand to achieve the end. At this time, the Mona Lisa has an extreme pleasure that can be much happier than the mere triumph of power......
However, this is only the beginning, and she can do a lot of things by mastering the tides.
"Do you want to give her upper insurance?"
Mona Lisa looked at the other woman in the main hall, the mermaid she had foreseen to meet Xia Han.
She thought for a moment, and finally shook her head: "Forget it......"
That encounter doesn't need to be deliberately led, just let it develop freely, and Xia Han also has a foreknowledge, and there will be risks if you interfere.
"I just have to wait..."
Mona Lisa narrowed her eyes, she had to wait for the summer cold to appear, but in the meantime she could do something else to remove the obstacle in advance.
"Now, then......" she closed the book and stretched out on the bed, "I'll sleep first." ”
When she wakes up, the holy beasts will react, and they will come to the bottom of the sea to test the truth, and then she will give them a big surprise, but ......
"Don't you cry...... Green Dragon. (To be continued......)
