Chapter 896 Friend or Foe?
Faced with such a predicament, no matter how many schemes and ideas Arrow has, there is no way to contact the outside world. And the members of the guard team who were in charge of guarding refused to say a word. It seemed that they had been instructed to hear anything that the Mermaid Song President had said!
In this way, the days passed day by day, and the day of the second battle of the Mermaid Song finally arrived.
Looking at the big sun rising high, Airo exhaled, turned his head, looked at the members present, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry! Even if we don't use any stratagem, our Mermaid Song is definitely the strongest! I believe in you, don't you all believe in me who trusts you so much? β
Looking at their own president, the members of Mermaid Song felt a little uneasy in their hearts, and now they have settled down a little.
Hasn't it always been like this? No matter what happens, no matter how much trouble you encounter, the whole mermaid song can work together to overcome that difficulty. It is not possible to rely on the strength of one person, nor the help of some powerful force, it is all the members of the entire guild who work together to be able to get all the way here.
At that moment, the tension on the faces of the members was finally completely relaxed. Everyone smiled, and their spirits were lifted at this moment! They couldn't help but laugh and pat each other on the shoulders and backs, cheering each other on for this next battle!
"Good! Now it's almost time, let's get ready and go! β
Seeing that the morale of the guild has been revived, there is no more reassuring outcome for Arrow. Isn't it a failure? There are two more to come! Won't it be enough to win both of those games?
With this in mind, Arrow turned around and walked towards the exit of the entire villa as the president. Now those members of the garrison have more reasons than to get out of the way and let this guild that is about to become the victor go to the battlefield of their decisive battle!
"President Arrow, what are you doing?"
However, just as everyone walked to the door, the captain of the guard came out slowly, stopped in front of them without hesitation, and sneered at them.
Arrow glanced at him, exhaled slightly, and said slowly, "We're going to the competition." Now there is an hour and a half before the game time, and we need to go to the arena first and do some preparations. It's always okay. β
The captain's gaze swept over the faces of the people in the song of the mermaid, and he smiled and said, "Yes, of course!" Well, please. β
Seeing the captain get out of the way, Arrow exhaled a little again, took a step, and walked out of the villa gate.
But at this time......
"What are you doing?! You promised to let us go! β
Suddenly Brad's voice came from behind!
Arrow looked back and saw that the guards were now standing between him and the guild members, and they didn't let their own members out!
Arrow couldn't help but gasp, but he still tried to maintain a calm tone and said, "Captain, what are you ...... What do you want to do? We were not allowed to participate in the tournament, which caused our guild to lose two in a row...... Is that how you do it? β
In the face of Arrow's questioning, the captain still had a smile on his face and said happily: "Oops! President Arrow, you're thinking too much. Ah, that's right! It seems that there seems to be some misunderstanding between us in the past few days, and there is not enough communication, which is why you have this understanding now. β
The captain waved his hand, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "That's right, President Arrow. In order to ensure the fairness and cleanliness of the competition, the competition committee hopes to keep the biggest suspect, your Mermaid Song Guild, as clean as possible throughout the process. In this way, even if something bad happens, we can explain it to the committee, and the committee will be able to explain it to all the people. β
Arrow's fists were now clenched tightly, and if it weren't for the overall situation, he really wanted to throw a punch into the captain's happy face!
"Whew...... What exactly are you trying to say? β
The captain clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, in order to ensure that Mermaid Song will not do anything that may cheat, so our guard team needs to escort your Mermaid Song members to the arena all the way." Among them, especially as the president, you need to be strictly guarded. Now that the above has spoken, I asked President Arrow to go to the arena alone with us. After that, our people will take the other members of Merfolk Song to the arena. β
"Haha, please rest assured, President Arrow, the above has been solemnly explained, and it is absolutely impossible to delay the situation of the Mermaid's Song in an emergency, or not enough time to prepare. So, we don't have much delay. So now...... President Arrow, please? β
Seeing the captain stretch out his hand, it was completely like looking at a prisoner. The corners of Arrow's mouth twitched slightly, but Brad in the team couldn't help it at all: "I'll go with the president!" I want to protect the president! I'm with the President! β
"Silly big guy! Come back! β
Without waiting for Arrow to speak, Margaux had already shouted first, calling back Brad, who was already a little out of control.
While Brad looked at Arrow with a worried face, Margaux exhaled softly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, President, we'll be back soon." This time...... We're going to win this game! β
With Margaux's words, Arrow suddenly felt that there seemed to be an extra layer of security behind him. He smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked towards the arena not far away, under the "escort" of a total of eight members of the garrison around him.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Victory has become the only thing that Mermaid Song needs now.
And in order to win, what these adventurers who have encountered injustice need most now is precisely calm.
After their leader left, the rest of the guard continued to guard the gate. The captain crossed his hands behind his back and a slight smile on his face, his gaze swept over the faces of the adventurers.
It can be seen that these mermaids are all holding their breath now. This resentment will become their anger on the battlefield later!
A warrior like a mountain, a necromancer with the power of death, a gifted priest, a gunslinger with plenty of adventure, and an excellent assassin.
If such a team really has any definite shortcomings, it may be that they lack a powerful ranged magic attack. But in addition to this, the strength of this team can only be counted as strong, let alone weak.
It's really hard to imagine...... Let this captain imagine it for himself, it will be incredible!
How could a weak civilian, who had no combat ability or magical affinity at all, become the leader of these powerful adventurers? And these members are still so loyal, and none of them have the slightest idea of transgression?
Don't...... Legend has it that the mermaid president actually possessed a strange kind of enchanting magic...... It's true?
Ha, that's ridiculous.
If this kind of magic really exists in this world, then how can this guild leader be a simple guild leader? He's literally upside down.
The captain finally figured out these things. He still had his hands behind his back and looked at the members in front of him happily.
And it won't take much time......
"Hey, we've been gone for a while, it's time for us to go."
Cream took a step and opened her mouth.
The captain narrowed his eyes and swept over the little merfolk again. After a slight nod, the corners of his mouth still had a smile on his lipsβ
"So, dear members of Mermaid Song. Before you go, I would like to ask you a simple little question. β
"Huh...... That is, you are real...... Want to win this Guild Championship Battle? β
Coco's face looked very vigilant: "What do you mean? β
The captain lowered his head, looked at the little girl, smiled slightly, and said again: "I just want to make sure, do you really want to win?" Did you come to participate in this guild championship battle just because you have a kind of competition experience and have a playful mentality? Or do you want to win here and finally win the supreme 'strongest' title for your guild? So, which one are you? β
"Humph! What do you want to say! β
Brad let out a loud sigh and said with some annoyanceβ
"Of course we want to win! We'll do everything we can to make the Mermaid's Song a victory! We don't know how far we can go, but we will definitely work hard and move forward step by step before we completely fail! There will be no slackness! β
Seeing this big man walk in front of him, there was still a little bit of oppression.
The captain took a step back and chuckled again. Then, he took his gaze away from Brad and swept it across the faces of the others, "So, you guys have that idea too, right?" β
This time, the crowd in Merfolk Song did not respond.
But judging by the expressions on their faces, there is no need to answer such questions anymore.
Seeing this, the captain smiled and nodded slightly.
After that, he coughed deliberately and said slowly-
"If victory is indeed what you are most looking forward to...... So, Mermaid Song, I must be your messenger of victory. β
"What I'm going to say next is whether or not you can win today's game without any danger and take all three points! So...... Would you like to hear my proposal? β
