Working Prophet

"No, how can the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces be handed over to a woman?!" Someone immediately objected, "This will make people in other places think that our men in the western border are cowards!"

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

"Women don't understand war at all, and they can't command an army!"

"But don't any of you want to be the commander-in-chief?" Alyssa asked.

The representatives of the major families fell silent again, but there were still bloody people among them. A well-mannered young nobleman stood up and introduced himself.

"I am Facundo from the Campos family, and my father is Romero, the financial officer of Rock Snow City. If no one is willing to become the commander of the new coalition army, then I can give it a try."

"And me!" A burly man stood up right after him, but unlike Facundo, he came from a small family that most people had never heard of.

Obviously, he hoped 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.

Besides 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 this time and successfully destroy the black dragon, the political rewards they can get will be amazing.

Of course, the risk is also great, so most people are still hesitant.

But even if only two or three people come forward, representatives of the major families tend to choose among them without considering Ilea.

Someone muttered in a low voice, "Who knows if the Arias family has anything to do with that dragon... I don't want to be stabbed in the back when fighting that dragon. We have already lost a lot in the previous battle." We are short-handed and cannot afford another failure.”

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

"What?"

"Miss Yilea believes that the number of people is not the key to dealing with that dragon. On the contrary, if there are too many people in the coalition army, it is prone to problems such as slow marching, chaotic command, and difficult to care about the beginning and the end. With the speed of the dragon, it must also will exploit these weaknesses of the coalition forces."

"Of course we all know what you said, but if the number of coalition forces is reduced, it won't be enough to pose a threat to the dragon." The representative of the Laceite family said solemnly.

"Miss Ilea holds a secret weapon against that dragon." Alisa said calmly.

As soon as her words came out of the hall, there was a sudden silence. The representatives of the various families looked at me and I looked at you, with suspicion and disbelief in their eyes.

After a while, someone asked again, "Where did the Arias family get their secret weapon?"

And Alisa didn't hide it, "It's actually a sacred artifact brought by the Prophet Merlin from his kingdom of God. It's so powerful that even the giant dragon couldn't resist it. It was forged by Saturday himself."

"Is it something that the church called the Shuangxiu Church made to bluff people again?" The representative of the Popo family sneered, "The head of the Arias family is really devout, and he doesn't know where he is. Follow the advice of the believers.”

"In order to end this terrible disaster sweeping the western border as soon as possible and avoid more innocent casualties, Miss Ilea is willing to take all necessary measures, even if it will be questioned by people with ulterior motives." Alisa said lightly.

The representative of the Popo family had an ugly face when he heard this, because Alisa raised Ilea's act of uniting with the pagan religion to the height of the entire Western Territory. On the contrary, the Popo family is now entangled in this matter. Some don't know the general picture.

Sure enough, he heard someone say later, "Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. The most urgent task right now is to quickly get rid of that black dragon and avenge the dead, no matter what means are used."

"That's right, it doesn't matter who proposed the method. The goddess is so benevolent, so she probably wouldn't blame us for such a thing."

This meeting was different from the meeting two months ago. All the major families had been attacked by the dragon more or less before. The big guys gathered together for the same goal now, and other things were trivial.

The representatives of the Popo family wanted to make a fuss about Ilea's beliefs again, but no one supported them, so they could only shut their mouths in despair after being touched.

"If Miss Ilea becomes the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, how many people will be needed?" David asked on behalf of everyone present.

"Seven hundred, but it must be the elite of each family. Miss Ilea only needs seven hundred brave and skilled fighters, which is enough to complete Merlin's dragon slaying plan." The lady spit out a number, causing the hall to once again There was an uproar.

"Is this true?! Really only need seven hundred people?"

"It's true, Miss Ilea is willing to swear an oath with all the honor of the Arias family!"

When Alisa said this sentence, she didn't have any foundation in her heart, but according to Li Yu's request, she still said this sentence firmly.

Then the lady added, "Miss Ilea knows that your families also need manpower to defend their territories, so if there are 700 people, there are at most dozens of warriors on each family's head. Those small families can even Only a few people came out.”

This time, the representatives of the various families in the hall were really moved.

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

If Ilea really has a way to deal with the black dragon with only 700 people, then they can indeed leave more people to protect the family's territory.

However, because of the astonishing destructive power shown by the black dragon before, many people doubted whether Ilea and the Merlin taught by Shuangxiu were really enough to do what they promised with only 700 people.

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

After all, as Alisa said, if 700 people are divided equally, each family will only have a few dozen people at most.

Therefore, the representatives of various families who were still opposed to Ilea becoming the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces have changed their attitudes one after another, and no one is talking about Ilea being a woman and Merlin's pagan status.

Seeing that the discussion was almost complete, David asked everyone to decide on the final list of candidates and then vote.

In the end, Miss Rabbit defeated the other four candidates with a significant advantage and became the new commander-in-chief of the Western Alliance Army.

The first thing the girl did after taking office was to disband the army as she had promised, leaving only the elite of 700 people.
