"This is a disaster!"
Chen Yu, sitting in a wicker chair at the camp, couldn't help but cover his forehead, while Kailin stood beside him, lips pursed and looking at a loss, not daring to speak.
"What was Hei Dou thinking, leading troops?!" kanshuwu.xia
After a long silence, Chen Yu, glaring from his wicker chair, shouted, then his lips moved for a long time without uttering another word.
How could he lead troops?
He was a resource pet!
The Underground Caverns positioned him as a resource-type spirit pet, not even remotely related to combat. A person who needed the God-King Engine to even fight in the Underground Caverns, if he went out to hunt bandits, the camp would probably already be singing war songs before he even met anyone!
Besides, he wasn't cut out for leading troops at all.
Throughout the entire camp, Hei Dou had followed Chen Yu the longest. If anyone understood Hei Dou the best, it would undoubtedly be Chen Yu.
Heβ
He was a comedian!
He had a bit of cleverness, but it was utterly insufficient for such major matters. He also had a bit of a desire for fame and recognition, and when faced with problems, he couldn't think them through deeply.
He only saw the surface of things.
With such a personality, how could he lead troops to war? If the other side played a small trick, he'd probably be happily falling into the trap.
"Kailin, how could you let Hei Dou go!"
Chen Yu sighed softly.
He wasn't afraid of losing. Even if they lost, now that he had returned to the city, he could just lead people back to reclaim their honor. What he feared was that Hei Dou and the others would be wiped out!
Kailin, with her lips pursed, remained silent.
"My lord, would you like a glass of ice fruit juice?"
A soft, gentle whisper came. Chen Yu looked up and saw a bee-woman swaying her hips as she brought over a cup of fruit drink.
"Please try it. This is a fruit juice developed by the magic chefs. It tastes great. Kailin also plans to export these fruit juices to towns in foreign lands. It should bring in quite a bit of money."
"The chefs developed fruit juice too?"
Chen Yu looked surprised, took the juice, and took a small sip.
As the juice entered his mouth, the rich fruity sweetness exploded in his mouth. The icy sensation and the freshness of the fruit were all brought to their peak.
"It does taste good."
Placing the ice fruit juice on the table beside the wicker chair, Chen Yu glanced at Kailin, who was still pursing her lips.
"Alright, Kailin, I don't blame you," Chen Yu whispered softly. "It's just that in this territory, you are the one I trust the most. That's why I handed over the entire city to you to manage. This is enough to prove my trust in you."
The vast city, Chen Yu handed it over to Kailin without hesitation.
He didn't leave any spies, nor did he use anyone to restrain her, for fear that she would gain a powerful position within the city and become dominant.
This was actually very dangerous!
If Kailin had any thought of betraying Chen Yu, with her controlling the entire city and nearly all of Chen Yu's wealth, she could instantly bring Chen Yu to his knees.
Despite this, Chen Yu still did it.
"You also know that I put you in your current position because I recognized your abilities. I believe you are also someone who knows how to use people wisely. I don't believe you can't see Hei Dou's personality," Chen Yu whispered sternly. "Kailin, do you think Hei Dou is cut out for war?"
"I know, but..."
Kailin pursed her lips, unable to speak. The bee-woman glanced over.
"My lord, you really can't blame Kailin for this. When Second Master Hei said he wanted to go out and suppress them, Kailin objected. Second Master then said they would vote. The old members of our camp all participated, and in the end..." kanshu la
"He won the vote?"
Chen Yu frowned.
This didn't seem right.
The old members of his camp were Hei Dou, Kuka, Jack, Rosie, Hei Lu, Bee Woman, Er Gou, and Kailin. Chen Yu understood the personalities of all of them.
If Hei Dou incited a war, Kuka and Er Gou would likely vote with him.
Jack and Rosie might split their votes.
At most, it would be a tie. How could Hei Dou succeed then?
"It shouldn't be. The worst possibility is a tie. How could Hei Dou get to go out?" Chen Yu frowned, and Kailin pursed her lips, "Elia voted in favor."
"What?!"
Chen Yu's heart, which had just settled down, instantly shot back into his throat, making him jump out of his chair.
"You mean Elia went too?"
Chen Yu, sitting on the wicker chair, began to search around the camp, but there was no sign of Elia.
Bang!
Chen Yu, returning to the wicker chair, slumped onto it directly.
It's bad.
This time, there was a really big problem.
Elia, she actually went with Hei Dou on this foolish endeavor.
Who was this influential person? She was the Third Princess of the Mermaid Kingdom. If she were to get hurt or have any accident, and her camp was destroyed, Chen Yu wouldn't care, but could his humble city withstand the Mermaid King's two halberds?
"Why did she participate in the vote?"
Chen Yu glared.
"Elia said you are her Brother Chen Yu, and she should also participate in such important matters of the territory. Since you weren't here, she voted on your behalf," Kailin whispered.
"Good, good!"
No one could understand Chen Yu's current feelings, absolutely not.
He never dreamed that while going out to suppress a monster, such a huge mess would occur in the territory, and even involve the Mermaid Princess.
"Boss, I actually think it's good that Elia followed."
"Ah?"
"Didn't you also say she's a princess of the Mermaid Kingdom?" Nuo Ya said with bright eyes. "Those bandits probably wouldn't dare to do anything to her out of fear of her status. With her there, at least Second Master and the others would be safe."
"Nuo Ya, do you think that's possible?"
Safe?!
They were all outer fringe bandits living outside. What in the world would they care about some mermaid princess? If anything, saying it would only make them see her as a delicious hostage.
Why would they care about the Mermaid Kingdom or not? If they had that much foresight, would they have become bandits?
"Call for reinforcements."
Leaning against the wicker chair, Chen Yu covered his forehead.
"Kailin, you should know where that bandit camp is, right? I'll take people to rescue them."
"There's no one left to lead them." Kailin coughed cautiously again. "Before Second Master left, he took all the capable fighters from our city. He said that for their first expedition, they had to show their might."
"Damn your ancestors, Hei Dou!"
This was pure foolishness, taking all the troops and leaving an empty city. If someone attacked now, they would simply march in unimpeded.
With such a brain, did Chen Yu deserve to be cursed?
"Where is he, I'll go myself!"
Chen Yu suddenly regretted not bringing Clark back. Before returning to the camp, Chen Yu had asked Clark to keep an eye on Tony. He had planned to go find him after sorting out the farm.
He never expected such a surprise upon returning to the city.
"He's at..." Kailin was about to speak when shouts and wails suddenly came from outside the camp. "Boss, Boss, I heard you're back, Boss."
The person who arrived was none other than Er Gou, wearing only a pair of torn shorts.
As soon as he entered the camp,
Seeing Chen Yu in the wicker chair, he lunged towards him with a thud.
"Boss..."
"What's your situation?" Seeing Er Gou's pathetic state, Chen Yu suddenly had a bad premonition. "Where are Hei Dou and the others? And Elia?"
Er Gou, kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his head. At that moment, Chen Yu's heart trembled.
This was a feeling of utter disaster!
He could even feel the Sea King's trident hanging over his neck.
"They, they've all been captured!!!"
Er Gou shouted, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"All captured!!"
