"No, how can the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces be given to a woman?!" Someone immediately objected, "This will make people everywhere think that our men in the West are cowards!" ”

As soon as his words came out, many people agreed, "Yes, the new commander of the coalition must be a man!" ”

"Women don't understand war at all, and they don't know how to command armies!"

"But don't you have anyone who wants to be this commander?" Alyssa asked rhetorically.

The representatives of the major families were silent again, but there were still bloody people among them, and a young nobleman with a polite appearance stood up and introduced himself.

"I'm Facundo from the Campos family, and my father is Romero, the treasurer of Rock Snow City, if no one wants to be the commander of the new coalition forces, then I can give it a try."

"And me!" Standing up next was a burly man, but unlike Facundo, he came from a small family that most people had never heard of.

Obviously, he wanted to take this opportunity to fight, anyway, his family was already very weak, and there were not many people left, so he was not too afraid of being retaliated by the black dragon.

In addition to the two of them, there are also some other people who are ready to move, after all, if they can serve as the commander of the coalition forces this time and successfully destroy the black dragon, the political rewards they can get will be very amazing.

Of course, the danger is also very great, so the vast majority of people are still hesitant.

But even if only two or three people came forward, the representatives of the major families tended to choose among them and would not consider Ilea.

Someone muttered, "Who knows if the Arias family has anything to do with that dragon...... I don't want to be stabbed in the back against that dragon, we've lost a lot of men in that previous battle, and we can't afford another defeat. ”

"Actually, you don't need to send another army this time." Alyssa said.

"What?"

"Miss Ilea believes that numbers are not the key to dealing with the dragon, on the contrary, there are too many people in the coalition army, and it is easy to have problems such as slow marching, confusion of command, and difficulty in taking care of the head and tail. With the speed of that dragon's movements, it would certainly take advantage of these weaknesses of the coalition forces as well. ”

"Of course, we all know what you're talking about, but if you reduce the number of coalition forces, it's not enough to pose a threat to that dragon." The representative of the Lesit family said solemnly.

"Miss Ilea has a secret weapon against that dragon." Alyssa was unhurried.

And as soon as her words came out, the hall was suddenly silent, and the representatives of the various families looked at me and I looked at you, with doubts and disbelief in their eyes.

A moment later, someone spoke, "Where did the Arias family get their secret weapon?" ”

And Alyssa didn't hide it, "It's actually a holy artifact that the prophet Merlin brought from his kingdom of God, and it's so powerful that it's made by Saturday himself, and even the dragon can't resist it. ”

"Is it the same thing that the church called Shuangxiu made up to bluff people again?" The representative of the Pobo family scoffed, "The head of the House of Arias is really pious, and he obeys the word of a heretic who has come out of nowhere. ”

"In order to put an end to this terrible disaster that has swept the western frontier as soon as possible and to avoid more innocent casualties, Miss Ilea is willing to take all necessary measures, even if it is questioned by those with ulterior intentions." Alyssa said lightly.

The representative of the Pobo family looked a little ugly when he heard this, because Alyssa said this, and raised the behavior of Ilea and the pagan religion to the height of the entire Western Realm, but now the Pobo family is entangled in this matter, and it seems that they are a little ignorant.

Sure enough, he heard that someone said, "Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, and the immediate priority is to get rid of the black dragon as soon as possible and avenge the dead, no matter what means are used." ”

"That's right, it doesn't matter who came up with the method, the goddess is so merciful, she probably won't blame us for such a thing."

This meeting was different from the one two months ago, the major families had been attacked by the dragon to a greater or lesser extent, and the big guys were now gathered together for the same goal, and everything else was trivial.

The representative of the Pobo family wanted to make a fuss about Elia's faith again, but there was no one to support him, so he could only close his mouth after touching his nose.

"If Miss Ilea becomes the commander of the coalition forces, how many men will be needed?" David's crowd in the room asked.

"Seven hundred, but they must all be the elite of each family, Miss Ilea only needs seven hundred brave warriors to complete the dragon slaying plan of the Merlin prophet." The noblewoman spat out a number, causing another uproar in the hall.

"Is that true?! Really only 700 people? ”

"It's true, Miss Elia is willing to make a vow with all the honor of the Arias family!"

When Alisa said this, she actually didn't have any bottom in her heart, but according to Li Yu's request, she still said it categorically.

Then the noble lady added, "Miss Ilea knows that your family also needs manpower to defend their territory, so if there are seven hundred people, there will be a maximum of dozens of warriors on the head of each family, and those small families can even produce only a few people. ”

At this moment, the representatives of the families in the hall were really moved.

Alyssa's words almost reached their hearts, of course, they all wanted to get rid of the dragon as soon as possible, but they were also worried that their rear would become empty after sending out a large army.

If Ilea really had the means to deal with the black dragon with only seven hundred men, then they could indeed leave more men to protect the family's territory.

However, because of the amazing destructive power displayed by the black dragon before, many people doubted whether Ilea and the Merlin of the Shuangxiu Sect were really enough to do what they promised with only seven hundred people.

But the plan proposed by the Arias family is too tempting, and the most important thing is that even if it fails, the price is affordable for the major families.

After all, as Alyssa said, if 700 people are spread evenly, there will be only a few dozen people in each family at most.

Therefore, the representatives of the various families who were still opposing Ilea becoming the commander of the coalition forces have now changed their attitudes, and no one is talking about Ilea as a woman and Merlin's pagan status anymore.

Seeing that the discussion was almost underway, David asked everyone to finalize the list of candidates and then vote.

In the end, Miss Rabbit overwhelmed the other four candidates by a significant margin and became the new commander of the Western Alliance.

And the first thing the girl did after taking office was to disband the army in situ as she had promised, leaving only seven hundred elites.
