The 487th chapter struggle (5)

After the guards left, Phyllis spoke, "Aixue, I didn't expect that after so long, your mental state was pretty good."

Ai Xue's current condition is indeed good. Although she is extremely thin due to malnutrition and poor living environment, she is extremely petite and looks particularly thin. However, Ai Xue's mental state is really good, neither crazy. It is really rare to stay in such a place for so long and not going crazy. What's even more rare is that Ai Xue has not become numb and dull. In her eyes, Phyllis even saw a kind of calmness. With this spirit of self-cultivation, Ai Xue is much better than Luna and the others. Speaking of which, Danica's luck is really good. The three people who helped her establish the Gemini Kingdom, Ai Xue, Catherine and Lemil, can be regarded as a master of talent. Although their professional talents are average, they are all rare talents in their respective fields.

Facing Phyllis's...is a compliment, Ai Xue said lightly: "Just live a day by day."

"Then when are you going to stay?" Phyllis asked.

Ai Xue was silent. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know. Maybe I'm not going to endure it until I don't want to endure it... Sometimes I wonder why I have such a firm will to survive. My previous idea was to commit suicide after living here for a month, but I didn't expect that I would stay here... I lived for several months."

Phyllis looked into Ai Xue's eyes and said, "Don't you want to go out?"

"Go out?" Ai Xue smiled bitterly and said, "Is this possible?"

"What is impossible in this world?" Phyllis said. "When you begged in Melens, one day you think that you will become the leader of the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Katic continent?"

"If you say that, there is really nothing in this world that is completely impossible. As for the release of me..." Ai Xue thought for a while and said, "There are two conditions, one is objective and the other is subjective. Objectively, the Gemini Kingdom, or Her Majesty the Queen, needs me, of course, it is not necessary for me to be a personal maid, but to have a more irreplaceable identity, such as the manager of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. Meeting this condition means that Luna is doing very badly and has penetrated Her Majesty the Queen's psychological bottom line, which is impossible. Luna was promoted by me. I know what her personality and ability she has. She is fully capable of managing the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. As for subjective aspects, it is even more difficult. Releasing me from the dungeon will seriously affect the authority of Her Majesty the Queen, and the achievement of subjective conditions is even more difficult than objectively."

Phyllis smiled and said, "It's really hard to say what's happening in this world. Maybe both of the requirements you said can be met! According to your statement, Luna is capable of leading the Ash Chamber of Commerce, but you are talking about the general situation. Don't forget that we are fighting a war with the Abyss Demons. Most of the military supplies of the entire anti-demon coalition are provided by the Ash Chamber of Commerce. There is no mistake at all, and it must be adjusted quickly as the situation on the battlefield changes. Do you think Luna can really deal with this high pressure and changeable demand? In addition, subjectively, you are right. It is really difficult to ask Danica to take back the order and re-activate you, even if she does have this idea in her heart. This requires a step. For example, I can pardon you in the name of the Gemini Queen. At the cost, I will no longer be one of the Gemini Queens."

"Miss Yuelan..." Ai Xue said in surprise.

Phyllis smiled and said, "What you should guess is that this was originally planned." After being promoted to the holy level, Phyllis represents the entire elves, and her luck is linked to the entire clan. In this case, she is also the queen of a human kingdom, which is indeed a bit inappropriate, and it is easy to intertwin the luck of the two tribes and become disordered. So Phyllis had this idea a long time ago and no longer served as one of the Gemini queens, but this also requires an opportunity. Otherwise, suddenly resigning will easily lead to misunderstandings from the outside world, believing that there is a crack in the relationship between the elves and the Gemini kingdom. Just in time, Ai Xue's affairs are a good opportunity.

Looking at Ai Xue's surprised expression, Phyllis said, "Okay, come out, I'll take you to see Danica." After saying this, a slight electric spark flashed, and the triviality of Ai Xue's cell was destroyed.

Ai Xue stood up with the wall, staring blankly at the handful of the slaughter that fell to the ground. After a while, he said, "Thank you Miss Yuelan." It can be heard that Ai Xue was trying hard to keep calm, but her voice was already trembling very violently.

Seeing Philis brought Ai Xue out directly, the guards in charge were shocked. This was... prison robbery? This kind of thing was not something they could handle. On the one hand, the guards tried hard to stabilize Philis and Ai Xue, while hurriedly reporting the matter to Emily.

A few minutes later, Emily appeared at the door of the dungeon. She took a few deep breaths and walked in.

The ground part of the dungeon is a three-story building. In the living room on the first floor, Emily saw Phyllis sitting on the sofa drinking tea, standing next to her with a torn dress, as thin as if a gust of wind could blow away Ai Xue.

Emily looked up at Ai Xue, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Hello Miss Yuelan."

Philis put down the teacup and said, "You know, I like Ai Xue very much. This is a very capable person. No matter what it was before, she had been locked in the dungeon for so long, and she had almost redeemed her sins. I want to forgive Ai Xue in the name of the Gemini Queen." After a pause, Philis continued, "I will tell Danica about this."

Emily seemed to accept Philis's statement calmly. She lowered her head and said, "Miss Yuelan, guarding the dungeon was originally accusation from the Guards. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to release Ai Xue without the master's order. Of course, since you are going to talk to the master about this, I happened to follow along, and I am still detaining Ai Xue." The reason why Emily agreed so readily was because she didn't believe that this was really Philis's act without authorization. This matter was definitely agreed upon by the two queens, but for the sake of good looks, both sides only need a step.

Phyllis glanced at Emily. When did this girl speak so well? She stood up and said, "Okay, let's go see Danica together!"

Phyllis took Ai Xue to the study on the second floor of the Gemini Palace, where she saw Danica sitting behind her desk and working on documents.

"Danica, I've brought the person here." After Phyllis said this, he turned around and left.

This made Emily a little embarrassed. She looked left and right, and finally left with Phyllis.

Noting that Danica looked here, Ai Xue forced herself to stabilize her mind and said, "Master."

Danica stared at Ai Xue for a long time before saying, "You can follow me from now on and be a maid!" Without explanation or inquiry, it was just a direct order.

Ai Xue opened her mouth and finally said, "Yes, master."

Danica picked up the document again and said, "You are very familiar with this place, so live here and manage your maids in Aishi Chamber of Commerce."

"Yes, master." Ai Xue responded again, and saw that Danica had nothing to say, so she turned around and left. She was indeed very familiar with this place. According to Danica's meaning, she wanted to be the maid of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. Although she had never done this job, she still knew how to start.

Shortly after Ai Xue left, Phyllis came in again. Seeing Danica still focusing on processing the documents, she sneered and said, "Danica, the documents in your hand are really so urgent?"

Danica put down the file and said helplessly: "Don't I feel a little embarrassed!" She personally ordered Ai Xue to be locked up, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing to release it suddenly.

Phyllis sat on the sofa and asked, "How did you arrange Ai Xue?"

Danica said, "Let her stay in the palace for a while first and be my maid." Notice the confusion in Philis's eyes, Danica explained, "You have also seen that although Ai Xue's mental state is fine, her body has collapsed very much. She needs at least one or two months to recover to have the spirit to re-manage the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce." In addition, this also gives the outside world a buffer, letting them know that Ai Xue has been favored by the Gemini Queen again.

"You're not in a hurry."

Danica smiled and said, "It's useless to be anxious. Besides, did Tyran say that, Marganis has withdrawn from his troops, so we can at least rest for a while."

"But the next attack will be difficult to deal with." Phyllis said worriedly. Now it seems that the battle that caused hundreds of thousands of deaths between the two sides was just a test of Marganis. The next demon attack may be difficult to block. This time there will be millions of demon attacks. What about the next time? Are there tens of millions of demon attacks?

"This is an opportunity," said Danica. "It is an opportunity for both parties to fight, it depends on who can seize it."

However, this is indeed a great pressure for Danica. When she sits in her position, she cannot place victory on the battlefield on the extraordinary performance of the generals. The soldiers suddenly have a high morale. The war in history that defeats the more with less and defeats the strong with weak is full of accidental factors, which depends on the enemy's huge mistakes, or the convenience of his own sudden possession of the right time and place. In short, this is not reliable. What Danica and the others need to do is to reasonably dispatch and allocate resources from the entire Katic continent to ensure that on the front line, the overall strength of the Anti-Demon Alliance is greater than that of the Demon Legion.

This is not an easy task, because when allocating resources, the operation of various forces cannot stagnate. This is a long-lasting battle and cannot be concluded in a few years. How much resources are allocated in the past requires a lot of negotiation and intelligence collection of the Demon Legion.

Because of this, Danica had previously imagined that Ai Xue would rest for a month or two, but only ten days later, Ai Xue, who had just been released from the Guards dungeon, was arranged to supervise the research and development and manufacturing of siege crossbows.

The reason for redevelopment is that Danica discovered that the siege crossbows before the Gemini Kingdom were not suitable for attacking dragons. Didn’t they shoot down a dragon before? The corpse of the dragon was dragged back by the coalition forces. Danica and Philis arranged many experiments to verify the dragon’s resistance to weapons and magic. It turned out that although the previous siege crossbow could pierce the dragon’s skin, it could not cause too much damage. According to the craftsmen of the Aishue Chamber of Commerce, even a dozen crossbow arrows would not die.

Of course this is not possible. The research and development of siege crossbows, especially crossbow arrows, has been raised again.

There is also support for the new Tulip Kingdom, and a large amount of food and weapons are sold to Aphro, but she obviously has no gold coins to pay, so she can only use other payment methods, including drawings from the Tulip Manufacturing Bureau, magical materials treasured by the Aragon royal family, etc. If it really doesn't work, she can use the future taxes of the Tulip Kingdom as collateral. Danica hopes that the Tulip Kingdom can recover as soon as possible to mobilize the power of the western region of the mainland.

After more than three months of preparation, the first fortress on the anti-demon front has been rebuilt. The front-line station has gathered nearly two million beast army, which is approaching its limit. It is not the limit of the beast race, but the limit of logistics supply. The food was transported from the Druids in the Northeast Basin to the southern coastal areas to meet the needs of the two million beasts with a big appetite, which put great pressure on the transportation system of the Gemini Kingdom. In addition, Danica ordered the opening of the arms inventory and allocated 200,000 artillery. Many of these artillery were small calibers, and the craftsmanship was to be honest, not very good, but at least it could be used. Phyllis sent 10,000 middle and high-level magicians from the elves to form a new magic army. As for Elizabeth, it seemed that he had been subject to a new expansion.
