Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 139 Me? The Fairy Military Advisor?

The village of Suenflor, also known as the Sunflower Village, is located northeast of Magnolia, not far from the Kroba Canyon near the border of the Kingdom of Fiore.

However, the client of this mission was not the village chief of Sunflower Village, which was closest to the bandits' hideout, but a joint commission from several nearby villages and towns.

It would be difficult for a small village to satisfy the appetite of dozens of bandits, so several nearby villages and towns and passing merchants might become their targets.

The nearby villagers were fed up with the annoyance, so they paid a group of money to hire a magician to kill them.

In fact, this should have been the job of the city garrison, and in a broader sense, it could also be the job of the border garrison.

However, Fiore is a permanently neutral country. Perhaps because of the long period of peace, or perhaps because of the prevalence of magic, the ordinary army is not given enough attention and its combat effectiveness is really not that good.

It is not a problem to maintain the law and order in the town normally, but it is a bit difficult to ask them to go into the mountains to fight bandits.

Especially these bandits who are entrenched in steep mountains.

The villagers had no choice but to place their hopes on the wizards from the regular guild.

At this time, the three wizards who accepted the commission had just paid their travel expenses and found a hotel in the town.

"The boss said there are only two rooms left today." Rhodes said, "I have no choice, I'll take one and you two can squeeze in."

Arzak and Biska's faces suddenly turned red like lanterns.

“Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze… squeeze into one room? This, this, this…” The two people stuttered and were unable to speak, and white smoke was almost coming out of their heads.

The two of them got along well along the way and now they no longer deliberately keep such a distance from each other.

But suddenly asking them to live in one room was obviously beyond their psychological capacity.

"Hahahaha..." Rhodes laughed uncontrollably.

It took the two of them a while to react. Normally, Alzak and Rod should sleep in the same room, right?

"Hey, Rhode! How can you make such a joke casually..."

Bisca's tone was annoyed when she started talking, but as she spoke, she automatically turned into shyness.

Arzak followed up with, “No, that’s right.”

“Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, haha…” Rhodes tried to keep quiet, “Ahem, well, put the luggage here first.”

The three of them put their things away and went out to meet the client.

Rhodes became serious the moment he walked out of the hotel:

“Although I already knew a little bit about it, I’ll still introduce my magic.

First is the summoning magic. The monsters I can summon are... Their specialties are... Then there is the receiving magic. The current forms are...

In short, you can leave the reconnaissance work to me, and you can always ask for my cooperation if you need it during the battle."

Arzak and Bisca were both a little dull. Although they had some understanding of it, they didn't pay too much attention to it.

Now that he heard it this way, Rhodes' abilities seemed a little too comprehensive.

Reconnaissance, transportation, search, defense, retreat, close combat, and even poisoning. Recently, they are also studying how to fly into the sky...

He didn't even know magic when he first joined the guild, right?

Can four months allow a person to grow to this extent?
"Don't be stunned, it's your turn now."

"Oh." Arzak came back to his senses, he pulled out the pistol from his waist and performed a beautiful gun dance.

"I'm good at gun and bullet magic. With this gun, I can fire tranquilizer bombs, flash bombs, smoke bombs, electric bombs, explosive bombs and hurricane bombs at any time. For me, street fighting and various complex terrains are the best battlefields."

Arzak was completely different when he picked up the gun, and he seemed to radiate confidence when he talked about magic, making his temperament very attractive.

Bisca was obviously the one he was attracted to.

Rhode waited for three seconds and reminded: "Where's Bisca?" "Well, I use the same type of dress-up magic as Erza. If her magic is called 'Knight', then mine should be called 'Gunner'."

Bisca carried the sniper rifle in her hand on her shoulder, looking very much like she did on the stage that day.

"My fighting style is to change different firearms according to different environments and needs. If I have to say my specialty, I prefer to defeat the enemy as far away as possible."

Rhodes nodded. Although both of them used magic firearms, one preferred to change bullets and was good at medium and long-range combat, while the other preferred to change guns and liked ultra-long-range sniping the most.

This mission was chosen very well, and it is very suitable for these two people to fight together. It is worthy of being chosen by Mira and I.

The three of them went to meet the client, but unfortunately the other party was unable to provide more useful information.

After asking for a while, Rhodes only learned the general direction of the bandits' base and that the bandits might have magic items.

The rest is up to you to investigate on your own.

Alzak looked at Rhodes releasing the river crabs and shadow wolves and said, "I can also help with covert reconnaissance."

Bisca also said, "I have no problem with disguise and concealment."

"Wait a minute. We are in the search phase now. Let's find their lair first."

Rhodes opened his backpack, took out a map, paper and pen, and used his vision to quickly record the general terrain. He also observed whether there were any dangerous poisonous weeds or insects, and marked the locations of small paths that might be convenient for passage.

After thinking for a while, he took out two books from his backpack and stuffed them into Alzak and Bisca: "Take this, just in case."

The two men had complicated expressions. It would have been fine if they had just taken out a brief map of the local area, but they even brought a magic book with them.

Well prepared.

The two watched as Rhodes marked locations that were suitable for ambush on the map and wrote down lines of valuable terrain intelligence and possible ways to use them on paper.

Bisca exclaimed, "It's just like the 'Fairy Military Advisor'."

Arzak seemed to have never heard of this title: "What is that?"

"It is the title of the first president, Mavis. She is a genius who uses her superior mind to analyze intelligence, make the best plan, and then lead her companions to victory."

Bisca recalled and said, "I heard that the guild has experienced many wars, and each time they won with her tactics, so she was called the 'Fairy Military Strategist'."

Arzak was surprised and said, “Isn’t that what Rhodes is doing now?
And I seem to have heard Gray complain before that Rhode could easily pull out a plan that was a foot thick, and just reading it would be exhausting."

Bisca nodded: "That's why I said that Rhodes is like a fairy military advisor born in our generation."

"How can it be so exaggerated! That bastard Gray also spread rumors about me?" Rhodes was depressed to find that he seemed to be always being slandered.

“The first president was able to memorize all the enemy intelligence in his head, analyze the enemy’s military strength, magic, and action patterns, and even conduct simulated battles in his mind.

Then, after massive calculations, he deduced the various possible directions of the battlefield, formulated tactics with the highest chance of winning, and led everyone to victory step by step. This genius was the one who made the most progress.

I can only write and draw on paper, make some simple battle plans, and deal with some enemies with low IQs. I am far inferior to the goblin military strategist."

Rod had heard the story of the first president Mavis from Levi, and he knew his own strength. The biggest battle he had ever led was a 5v5 team battle...

That's not right. The largest and most numerous battle he had experienced was called 'Glory of the Republic'.

But that thing is a shitty command, and with his intelligence, there is no way to compare with the first generation humanoid computer.

Useless trivia: In Fairy Tail, most cities and towns are named after flowers.

For example, Magnolia is the magnolia, and Crocus is the crocus.

So when I was making up place names, I basically used plant names. For example, the Dendrobium village mentioned above is the Dendrobium Village, and Silvervine where Wendy is located is the Silvervine Village (mainly because I couldn’t find the name of the village where the Cat’s Inn is located in the original book).

And this time, the Sunflower in Sunflower Village

This naming style is generally more in line with the Fairy Tail worldview
