Chapter 556 Pay with Life

What Lylea said is not unreasonable. A single individual, a single organization, some organizations, or even an entire country may not be able to completely defeat Achilles. However, if this combat power threatens the entire Zephyr Continent, The peaceful development of the city will force the remaining four major towns to make two choices: either surrender to Airui City, or join forces to strangle Achilles.

Some people may consider the first scenario, but it is not a long-term solution.

Just imagine, any monarch controls a large land and abundant resources, is respected by the people of the country, and lives a free life every day. Suddenly one day, he is subordinated to others. Not only his own land becomes the name of others. The things they bought, and even their own destiny were in the hands of others. There was no telling what negligence might have happened that day, and the entire family would be implicated. Would they be willing to live in such fear?

Once the second situation occurs, it is no longer a problem for Achilles alone, and may even affect the entire city of Airei.

I don't believe that the four major towns would only want Achilles to launch an attack instead of taking the opportunity to plunder resources and occupy land.

Cruel history tells us: Even if you borrow some land to settle down, it may eventually turn into a shameful act of occupying the other country's entire country.

This is greed.

Some people may think that I am wrong to say this, because I have said before that no other ethnic group is as greedy as humans.

Yes, that's absolutely true.

But I didn't say that they wouldn't be greedy.

Once it comes to maximizing their interests, they can even let go of their original reserve and completely release the greed and desire buried deepest in their hearts.

At that time, once Achilles is defeated, the entire city of Airi will be divided up, and the only thing the Carter family can leave behind may be their name and a dilapidated residence only for themselves to live in.

Of course, that’s not the worst, there are many more horrific endings that I don’t even dare to think about.

Looking at Lilea's questioning look, I shrugged and said, "Who knows, there will always be a righteous guy who will stand up and defeat Achilles."

"I don't know whether I can defeat Achilles," Lyrea chuckled, "but I know a righteous guy."

"Huh? Who is it?"

She didn't speak, just looked at me with a smile.

I pointed to my nose and asked, "You said it, could it be me?"

Seeing that she was still smiling, I waved my hands repeatedly and said: "Oh, don't guess, I am not a righteous guy, and I will never challenge Achilles again. That is not a level at all. The battle."

"Your words are unconvincing, Xiaoyi," Cagalli said suddenly, "You have never challenged a normal level monster."

"How could you tear down your husband like this!" I said angrily.

"Is this trying to undermine him?" She turned to Phoenix and asked.

Phoenix pouted and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

Hey, you are addicted to dismantling your husband's station.

Although the situation in Airui City is tense, I have no plans to go back yet.

Because I found that after competing with Emily, the improvement in strength after being abused seems to be much faster than upgrading by fighting monsters, and there is also a considerable increase in various attributes.

I told the people in the guild about this, and soon, other people in the guild also started endless discussions in their spare time. The other three girls except Barbara challenged each other, and Susan and Belle competed. Who heals faster with magic? Jackson and Zach defend and attack each other. Kunna and Maggie, a pair of ice and fire girls, endlessly compete with magic. Billy and Gordo, a pair of good friends, are also constantly falling in love and killing each other. Only With Rocky, Lily and Lizzy left, the lineup of the funny duo has now expanded into a funny trio. Not only has Lizzy gradually become more cheerful, but she also has a faint tendency to look up to the other two funny guys.

This made me very worried, but also very helpless.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to Mobi are also Mobi.

No matter what, at least she is growing up lively, happy and healthy, and has not learned anything bad, so everything is fine.

The atmosphere in the guild is great, and everyone has improved in strength. However, I found that their improvement in strength seems to be far less rapid than mine.

That day, as soon as I finished my discussion with Emily and returned to the cafe, I received a call from Taylor.

"What's the matter, old man?" I asked.

"You brat, there is a wave of adventurous guilds here in Airui City," he said. "Our home has been assigned to them for temporary residence. They will move in in a few days. I'm afraid that our property will be stolen by them." He wanted to leave, but the airship crew wouldn't let the little squeak board the ship."

"Ah? Someone wants to live in my house?" I frowned and said, "Approval without our consent? Isn't it a bit too overbearing? Besides, after the foreigners move out, there should be a lot of vacant houses, right? Why do you have to live in our house?”

"I don't know," Taylor said, "How about you come back first?"

"good."

After agreeing, I hung up the call, hurried back home, and told everyone about the incident.

Everyone became angry, and Billy flashed his two swords and said with murderous intent: "How dare you take over my guild, Xiaoyi, take me with you, and I will kill them!"

Others also echoed.

I waved my hand, signaling everyone to suppress their anger first, and said: "This may be something that some people in power did deliberately. If I guessed correctly, this guild should have chosen to join the eldest young master or the second young master. They have only one purpose for doing this, to concentrate their power in the capital of Airui City, so that if any trouble occurs, they can mobilize their power as soon as possible."

"But they shouldn't give our house away without consent!" Billy shouted.

"I know what you are thinking. The saddest thing now is not you, but Phoenix, because that is the house left to her by her master."

I turned my head and glanced at Fenghuang. At this moment, she was holding my arm tightly, with her head lowered, looking very sad.

Sighing, I continued: "Perhaps those in power did not deliberately want to make things difficult for us, but they happened to choose us when they were choosing their victims."

"What do you mean?" Billy was furious: "Do you want me to understand them?"

"Of course" I laughed: "You still have to understand what you need to understand."

"Why are you so cowardly!" Billy said angrily: "Why don't you go and kill them!"

"Go and fight them now. Can you guarantee that you can beat a guild?" I smiled and said: "Even if you can beat them, can you guarantee that Achilles will not interfere?"

"We must do it even if we can't!" Billy said angrily: "Even if we risk our lives, we must let them know how powerful we are!"

"Fight to death" I sneered and said, "Have you ever thought about Godot's feelings?"

Billy was startled, with a very shocked expression on his face, and finally sat back slowly.

After taking a long breath, I smiled and said seriously: "I am your president. I will not only lead you to become stronger, but also save your lives. Giving up now does not mean giving up forever. In the future, I will With my sword, those who bully us and take away our things will pay with their lives."
