Chapter 330, Before the War (I)
"Ah?"
"Ah?!"
As soon as they entered the guild, they saw Natsu and Gray with their foreheads against each other, as if they were about to fight.
"Okay, the guild can't afford your fight now." Yefrit persuaded.
"Yefrit, don't bother!" Natsu said without turning his head.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, be friendly!" Erza walked over and knocked the two to the ground with one punch.
"Erza!"
Even though their strengths were enhanced to the same level, Natsu and Gray saw Erza, and they were like mice seeing a cat, with fear from the bottom of their hearts, completely suppressed by their blood.
"It's worthy of that Erza." Everyone felt cold in their hearts.
After so many years, Erza's personality has not collapsed. Originally, because of the behavior of Natsu and Gray, everyone in the guild wanted to fight, but when they saw Erza with a cold face, they all stopped and dared not be presumptuous anymore. All the little thoughts in their hearts were suppressed.
"I told you that you're asking for trouble." Lucy didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pulled Natsu up.
"Natsu!" Happy shouted, flying towards Natsu.
"Happy!" Natsu also stretched out his hand.
The man and the cat hugged each other.
After all, the two guys had a deep relationship, and they really missed each other after being apart for such a long time.
"Wendy, your hairstyle is so cute." Lucy said.
Wendy was helpless and didn't want to explain that she just lost another hair tie. She looked at Lucy and said, "Lucy has become so beautiful too, this hairstyle suits you very well."
"Haha." Lucy accepted the compliment generously.
"Banquet, let's have a party!" Natsu shouted.
He and Happy jumped on the table and started to dance a funny dance.
Twist waist - twist waist -
Stick out your butt - stick out your butt -
Waving hands - waving hands -
Every movement made everyone laugh.
After laughing, there was a sense of peace in my heart.
Sure enough, it is still the most reassuring in the guild, and no matter what kind of performance, it is not as good as Natsu and Happy's funny dance, even if it is never good-looking, it can make people laugh sincerely.
Instead of watching some stage plays or joke performances, after laughing a few times, the heart feels empty-empty and lonely.
Laugh, but not happy.
Want to laugh and be happy, it is still in the guild, watching Natsu and Happy's performance, can satisfy both at the same time!
"Most people haven't come back yet, Natsu." Gray said.
"Then we will keep holding the party until everyone comes back!" Natsu said: "Let's make Fairy Tail-lively!"
"You guy." Everyone shook their heads dotingly, and then all raised their hands: "Hold a party!"
"Until the moment when everyone returns!"
"Let's make it lively, let's have a guild!"
"Oh-"
The residents of Magnolia Town listened to the guild that had been quiet for a year and became noisy again, and smiled.
Fairy Tail, back again.
Great!
Fairy Tail reunited and was completely resurrected.
This was an exciting thing for the entire magic world, and even for the entire Ishgar!
And some guilds that knew the inside story, such as the Scales of the Snake Princess, also put down their training and made final preparations, knowing that the final moment was approaching.
"Fairy Tail - don't let us down."
"The final decisive battle, it would be great if it was true."
"End evil and darkness in our era!"
"Leave a peaceful and clean world for the next era!"
"No wonder Mr. Natsu always likes to say that -"
"I'm on fire!"
"The power of the wizard is for the arrival of this day!"
"Let's start quickly, even if I die, I can't wait!"
"Fight, fight, fight!"
Fairy Tail, on the contrary, did not have the passion that those guilds thought.
The banquet lasted for three days and had not stopped.
People kept returning to the guild, taking over the banner of the lively guild, and then the tired people went to sleep until someone fell down again, and those who had rested well in the previous round got up and started a new round of banquets.
As for Yefrit.
He just woke up, and then he was drunk.
And just woke up, he was drunk again.
If Zeref had seen better, it would be troublesome to attack the guild at this time.
But Zeref disdains to do such a thing. Yefrit gave him a year to prepare, and he also planned to fight Yefrit head-on.
This is a battle beyond the country, it is a battle between two continents and two eras of human beings!
"Ah-hello everyone." A black-haired handsome guy returned to the guild with a cross-shaped scar on his face.
"Mester, you are just back." Everyone looked at him with a teasing look.
"Don't look at me like that, my memory has been retrieved a long time ago." Meister was helpless.
What he did over the years is indeed a bit funny.
He is a member of Fairy Tail. In order to be an insider to collect intelligence, he deleted his memory and infiltrated the Magic Council. As a result, he really regarded himself as a member of the Council, and in turn infiltrated the Fairy Tail Guild to be a spy.
When Makarov was taking the S-rank assessment on Sirius Island, he almost couldn't hold back when he saw the "spy" Mest sneaking in. Fortunately, he was an old man in his eighties and was shrewd enough to suppress his emotions.
Efrit couldn't help laughing many times behind his back.
After the incident on Tenrou Island, Mest worked for the Magic Council until the original Magic Council was completely destroyed and a new Magic Council was established. Then Makarov found him and helped him recover his memory.
After the magic was lifted, all the members of the Fairy Tail Guild felt very sorry for Mest's experience over the years, because - sorry, but I really can't hold back my laughter!
Mest is already numb.
Forget it, be thick-skinned, just like Natsu, who dances funny dances every day, and everyone makes fun of him, but he doesn't take it to heart!
Mest successfully joined the party - this is of course, he was originally a member of the guild, although he has been away from home for many years, but no one will reject him.
"Drink!"
On the second floor, in the corner.
Efrit sat up.
"Still drinking, you fell down when you smelled it." Lisanna laughed, pushed Efrit back, and covered him with the quilt.
She stood up and walked to the railing, looking at Laxus who was sitting on the sofa with his hands on the railing, and said, "Everyone is back. It turns out that I am happiest in a guild like this."
"I will definitely protect this happiness." Laxus said seriously.
"Of course I believe you." Lisanna nodded.
"Operation plan." Laxus looked at the plan in his hand.
Lisanna came up curiously, saw the handwriting, and said, "Ah, it was written by brother Yefrit."
"Well, there are three copies in total." Laxus said.
"As expected of brother Yefrit, he is always well prepared." Lisanna couldn't help but praise.
"The first one--" Laxus said, "Directly announce to the entire continent and take the lead in declaring war on the Western Continent."
"Isn't it a bit too direct and reckless." Lisanna frowned.
Now the Western Continent has not directly issued a declaration of war. If Ishgar takes the initiative to provoke it, or Fairy Tail takes the initiative to provoke a war between the two continents, it will easily become the target of public criticism, and it is very likely to be backstabbed by its own people, Ishgar. After all, war is too terrible. Most people do not want war, and those people will not think that this is inevitable.
Everyone was living peacefully, and your Fairy Tail suddenly declared war on the Western Continent on behalf of the entire continent. Isn’t it too much?
Everyone may not agree.
"Yeah." Laxus nodded: "The second one is that the magic world declares war on the other magic world."
"It is also unfounded." Lisanna said.
It is very important to have a legitimate reason.
What reason can be used?
Lisanna believes that no matter what the reason is, it is necessary to provoke the fighting will of Ishgar's people against the Western Continent.
This is not right.
It seems that this battle was provoked by Ishgar.
"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." Lisanna said, "Do we have to compete with Zeref to have good rapport, and declare war at the same time?"
"Or. Wait until the other side attacks?"
"That won't work." Laxus shook his head, "We can't put the battlefield in Ishgar, otherwise it will destroy this peaceful land."
Waiting for the Western Continent to take the initiative to attack is the stupidest way.
There is no way to fight with others on your own territory. Even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses.
In any case, this battle must be fought so that Ishgar takes the initiative to attack the Western Continent.
Although some civilians on the Western Continent are also innocent, but - Ishgar and Fairy Tail have no reason to give in, unless Zeref and Acnologia give in themselves.
But -
If we don't get rid of these two guys in this era, wait until Natsu and others can't fight anymore, wait until Yefrit dies, and leave this huge problem to the next era, then it will be endless trouble.
So -
This must be fought!
And it must be fought in the Western Continent!
Justice and injustice are no longer within the scope of consideration.
Whether or not they will be understood, or even misunderstood, they cannot stop Fairy Tail, or even the will of the magic world of Ishgar!
"And - once this war starts in Ishgar, whether we win or not, Ishgar will be finished." Laxus sighed, "It's all those idiots!"
The former Magic Council, in conjunction with the magic world, created many powerful magic props, such as magic elf power, etc., in fact, the purpose was to defend the Western Continent.
Unexpectedly, there were traitors in the two Magic Councils, who made some inexplicable things and targeted their own people.
A lot of resources were invested just to blow up Ishgar.
These spies were really against the will of heaven, betraying their hometown and race - the original councilors, especially the chairman of the council, were directly nailed to the pillar of shame.
Because the two Magic Councils were messing around, too many resources were used for internal consumption, resulting in weak defense, and they could no longer effectively defend against the army from the Western Continent through the defense facilities on the border of the continent.
Therefore, once the Western Continent attacks first, the entire Ishgar will be like a sheep without a sheepskin, soft and sticky, and very easy to eat.
When Fairy Tail and the guilds of the magic world unite to block it, I am afraid that half of the entire Ishgar will be lost.
Then, the battle of the king-level wizards.
Maybe Ishgar can be destroyed.
So——
A year has passed, and Fairy Tail, who has always been generous, is also angry when thinking of the previous two Magic Councils.
But the reality is already like this, and there is really no point in complaining.
No matter what, this battle must not be allowed to happen in Ishgar!
"Hey, brother Everit must have a way." Lisanna rubbed Laxus' chest to comfort her, and then asked, "What about the third plan?"
"The third plan." Laxus frowned and said, "It will be a little dangerous."
"What?" Lisanna asked.
"Perform a play."
"acting?"
"Well, a—somewhat despicable, but—perhaps the most effective drama."
Laxus looked in the direction of the Western Continent, constantly thinking about Yevrit's third plan.
Perhaps - this plan is the most suitable.
What Natsu said came true.
It wasn't until the last person returned that the banquet, which lasted for a week, finally stopped.
Everyone was exhausted and went back to have a good sleep.
There is some noise in the city. Several construction teams seem to be eyeing business opportunities and come here to buy land and build houses.
But everyone in Fairy Tail didn't care about this.
After a good rest.
Everyone gathered in the guild to learn about the next plan.
Laxus came to the stage with the third plan and said, "This is the plan written by Evelit, as well as the personnel arrangements made by President Mavis."
Everit planned the attack method, and Mavis planned the combatants, both doing what they were good at.
"This may not lead this battle perfectly, but now - we still have to follow this plan to start a battle between two continents, and even two eras!"
"Oh——" Everyone raised their hands and cheered.
Especially Natsu and the others were impatient.
They have been practicing for a year and have reached a new level, which is when their hands are extremely itchy.
Fight, fight!
This time it’s for a valid reason!
Kill twelve shields!
Beat Zeref!
Defeat Akunologia!
"First of all-" Laxus said, "Erza!"
"Here!" Erza stood up.
Laxus said: "You will lead the team, along with Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Juvia, to sneak into the Western Continent, arrive at the city on the map, and wait for the next order!"
"Yes!" Erza nodded.
A virtual map appeared in front of them, showing the city they wanted to reach.
"Mirajan!" Laxus said.
"Yes." Mirajane stood up. This time, she was not acting with Everit. It would be better to say that Everit would not act with anyone this time - although this was also his usual style.
Laxus said: "You will lead the team, along with Gajeel and Kana, sneak into the Western Continent, arrive at this city, and then wait for the next order." Lebby was unable to participate in this battle because she was pregnant.
Laxus continued: "Gildas, you will lead the team, along with Stinger, Yukino, Rogge, and Lucky, to sneak into the Western Continent, arrive at this city, and wait for orders."
"Emily, Ikaruga."
"Fried, Bigusro."
Everyone is in order.
The powerful ones all formed a team and sneaked into the West Continent.
The weaker ones will form an army with allies from other guilds to act together.
Everit——Acts alone.
