Chapter 582 Bubble is preparing for a big battle.
Blue Tiger immediately led a group of soldiers to block Bubble behind him.
The advancing general pointed at Lan Hu and the others and shouted, "Do you want to rebel? Obstructing the Imperial Guards from carrying out their duties is tantamount to betraying your people."
Blue Tiger said loudly, "Bubble is a centurion, an army instructor, and a holder of the Warrior's Medal."
To arrest him, a decision from the council of elders is required.
Even if you are the Imperial Guard, you have no right to arrest me.
The general of the Imperial Guard did not back down in the slightest.
"With the Queen and several other elders absent, the Third Elder has the authority to enforce the law on behalf of the Elders' Council."
The Third Elder's orders are the orders of the Elder Council.
……
When Lan Hu was arguing with the Imperial Guard general.
The Second Elder is playing chess at the Fourth Elder's house.
Before dawn, the Fourth Elder invited the Second Elder to his home.
The two played two games of chess, and the Fourth Elder lost both.
We are currently playing the third game.
The two were playing chess in the inner room.
The Fourth Elder secretly had the doors and windows blocked, so no light or sound could get into the room.
The Second Elder thought it was still dark.
The Fourth Elder and the Third Elder have reached an agreement.
With the Fourth Elder holding off the Second Elder, only the Third Elder remained outside.
The Third Elder used his power to incite the people and mobilize the Imperial Guard to capture Bubble and hand him over to the Shark Clan.
Then, they could continue negotiating with the shark tribe to turn the mermaid tribe into a subordinate race of the shark tribe.
The shark tribe also put forward a harsh condition: that all the mermaid warriors lay down their weapons.
In particular, those warriors who had killed many sharks and had earned merit were to be executed as war criminals.
The Fourth Elder agreed to all of these conditions.
They lured the shark tribe to the mermaid tribe's Crystal City in an attempt to force the queen and the other elders to agree to the same conditions.
The two players have been playing this game of chess for over an hour.
The Fourth Elder is already at a disadvantage.
The Second Elder placed a piece on the chessboard, glanced at the Fourth Elder, and slowly said, "Fourth Elder, if you keep giving in, you won't win this game."
The Fourth Elder smiled and said, "My chess skills are inferior to yours. If I were to go head-to-head with you, I would undoubtedly lose."
Although I played it safe in this game, I at least managed to hold on until now.
I haven't lost yet, have I?
The Second Elder shook his head: "But you no longer have a chance to turn the tables. You are bound to lose; it's only a matter of time."
The Fourth Elder also placed a piece and said, "I don't think so."
I believe that as long as you're alive, there's hope; once you're dead, there's no hope at all.
The Second Elder slammed a chess piece onto the board, securing the victory.
The Second Elder stood up and said, "Your hope is best not to be based on the enemy's mercy, otherwise not only will you die, but you will also kill everyone else."
I'm a little tired, let's call it a day.
The Fourth Elder stood up and pulled the Second Elder aside, saying, "Second Brother, it's not dawn yet, play another game with me."
I played two games with you, and I feel like I've improved a lot.
The Second Elder stood with his hands behind his back, "Is it because the sky is not yet bright, or is someone trying to cover up the truth?"
Besides, have you made any progress?
I have a feeling that you've been regressing.
The Fourth Elder still tried to argue his case.
With a bang, Zhao Yuan, accompanied by several guards, kicked open the door to the Fourth Elder's house.
Light immediately streamed into the room and fell on the chessboard.
……
Blue Tiger's side has already revealed their weapons.
The Imperial Guard general was aggressive, pointing at the soldiers next to Blue Tiger and shouting, "Paopao is Blue Tiger's daughter, what does she have to do with you?"
"You don't need to bear the stigma of traitors and risk your lives following Blue Tiger."
Some people in the army began to hesitate.
But most people's stance remains firm.
Bubble's former centurion said, "This has nothing to do with whose daughter Bubble is."
Bubble is a hero of our mermaid clan and deserves everyone's love and protection.
If a people is willing to hand over their hero to the enemy, then what does betrayal matter?
His words ignited the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
The soldiers waved their weapons and shouted, "Protect Bubble! Protect our hero!"
The soldiers' thunderous roar momentarily silenced the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
These people, as the Imperial Guard, were responsible for protecting Crystal City and rarely went out to fight against foreign tribes, so they lacked the murderous aura of frontline warriors.
When frontline soldiers get tough, their morale naturally weakens.
Seeing this, the Third Elder in the crowd gestured to his subordinates.
His men immediately began to incite the people.
The people were outraged and began to gather at the military camp.
One of the common people pointed at the warriors and said, "You are warriors of the mermaid race."
Are you going to rebel over a bubble?
Even if the bubble is innocent.
But sacrificing one bubble can save everyone.
Then we should sacrifice the bubbles.
Bubbles should also feel honored by this.
Immediately, a soldier stepped forward to retort, "If you think this is an honor, then you should sacrifice yourself first."
The man immediately fell silent.
Blue Tiger shouted at the people: "Do you think that sacrificing one person can save everyone? Is that realistic?"
Even if we could really save everyone, each of you could be sacrificed by your tribe at any time. Would you really be willing to sacrifice yourself then?
Everyone is human, so is one person not human, and should be sacrificed?
The people, who had been incited, were no longer reasonable.
As they pushed forward, they shouted, "I don't understand all those big principles. I just know that if we hand over the bubbles, the shark tribe will withdraw, and everyone will be saved."
"Hand over the bubbles!"
"Hand over the bubbles!"
A commoner saw his son in the army.
He shouted at his son, "Big Head, put down your weapon! Did I send you to join the army so you could point a weapon at me?"
The soldier named Big Head took two steps back, looking somewhat bewildered.
Soldiers are the sons of the people. If the people insist on charging forward, there's really nothing they can do. They can't very well use their weapons to attack the people.
After all, their own parents and relatives are also among the common people.
Many soldiers were pulled out of the protective perimeter by civilians.
There are fewer and fewer soldiers protecting the bubbles.
In the end, only Blue Tiger and his dozen or so old brothers remained.
Blue Tiger's hands, gripping the harpoon, were already sweaty; he sensed that things were getting out of control.
He had made up his mind that if anyone tried to touch Bubble, he would definitely stop them, even if it meant being branded a traitor.
After a while, he stopped hearing Bubble's crying and turned to look at her.
Bubble stared wide-eyed at the Imperial Guards in the crowd, showing no fear whatsoever.
Bubble held a trident in his left hand and a thunderbolt in his right, with more than a dozen thunderbolts in his pocket.
It looks like they're about to make a big splash.
