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

Chapter 343 Despicable Ghost

The main attack team was led by two veterans, Makao and Wakaba, and Nabu, Marcus, Laqi, Bijida, Miji and others each led a small team following closely behind.

Generally speaking, they are arranged in the order of those with less serious injuries in front and those with more serious injuries but able to move in the back.

The person in front was holding a magic book, and the person behind was carrying a bulging backpack - this trip basically took out the entire guild's inventory.

When moving things out of the warehouse, Macao felt distressed, but Rhodes knew that now was not the time to care about these things.

Aren't consumables supposed to be used at times like this? It's better to use them all up and feel bad afterwards than to lose the opportunity or sacrifice your companions just to save a few magic crystals.

Well... Rhodes hoped that the president would forgive his wasteful behavior afterwards.

The weather was average today, mainly because there was little wind, so the dust raised by the collapse of the mechanical legs and the landing of the phantom dissipated too slowly.

Mira, Erza, and Lucy came here following a flash of blue light.

Sure enough, it was the Blue Carved Golem.

Without saying a word, Rhode first gave Mira a Crown of Insight, then summoned a second golem, and added one to Erza and Lucy.

After they greeted each other, Rhode didn't bother to say anything else: "Lucy, can you ask Baluge to come out?"

"Ah? Yes!" Lucy took out the key from her waist and said, "Open the door of Virgo, Baruge!"

The golden light formed a keyhole, and the illusory door flashed by, revealing a pink-haired girl wearing a maid outfit, white stockings on her legs, and shackles on her wrists.

Baluge placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Lucy, and spoke an explosive line:

"Princess, do you want to teach me a lesson?"

Lucy retorted: "Who would do that?"

Rod looked at the shackles on the singer, then at the whip on Lucy's waist, and acted as if he suddenly understood something: "Oh~ So Lucy has such a hobby."

"No way!" Lucy found that it was difficult to pick a serious one among her own spirits. These guys were unexpectedly very suitable for Fairy Tail.

She said with a headache: "Mr. Rhodes has something to ask of you."

"Lord Rhodes, nice to meet you." Baruge greeted politely, "Lord Erza, good day, and..."

Lucy introduced, "It's Miss Mira."

"Lady Mira, nice to meet you." The honorific used by Baruge seemed more humble than the one Wendy was used to using, as if she had completely taken on the role of a maid.

Several people greeted her with a smile.

Rhode said, "I heard from my companions that you are very good at earth magic, especially digging holes, so I would like to ask you to go to that building."

Baluge tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Set a trap?"

"Hmm..." Rhodes nodded after a pause, "That's fine."

"What do you mean by 'okay'?" Lucy couldn't help asking, "Have you not thought it through yet?"

Rhode said, "Originally, I wanted her to cause as much damage as possible. It would be best if I could dig out all the places that can be dug. It would be best if I could dig the entire castle down. Now that I think about it, if it's too late, it can be used as a trap."

Because he heard that the Phantom's buildings would undergo two phases of changes and could use very destructive magic, Rhodes was not sure if he could stop it by simply destroying its two legs.

It would be better to do a little more damage just in case to be at ease, and luckily there are professionals here.

"Understood. Princess, I'm leaving now. Please punish me later." Baluge said goodbye to Lucy, turned around, and dived into the ground with a bang.

Her drilling was different from Rhode's swimming posture in the form of a stone beetle. She actually dug a hole.

Although she was no longer visible, Lucy was still complaining about her: "Why do you have to punish her..."

But she was in a good mood, because after following Erza and Mira for so long, she finally had her own mission.

Erza frowned: "Something is approaching."

The smoke is too thick to see clearly.

Rhode thought about it and asked directly in the 'public channel': "Can anyone disperse this smoke and dust?"

"Leave it to me." It was Alzac's voice.

From a nearby hill, more than a dozen bullets flew in one after another and landed around the ghost.

Several tornadoes immediately arose nearby. Their power was not particularly strong, but it was enough to blow away the dust around.

Bullet Magic·Hurricane Bullet·Lightweight version for non-attack use.

"Mission accomplished." "Well done."

As the smoke and dust cleared, everyone saw what Erza meant by "something approaching".

It was a densely packed blue-purple "river" that "flowed" relentlessly. If you looked closely, you could make out that they were insects that were taller than a person's knees.

The void worms gathered together and jumped towards the Phantom's building.

If they encounter stones that get in the way or construction materials that fall off the mechanical legs and roll over, they will simply chew them up.

Like a swarm of locusts.

Thank God that we didn't destroy the ice road created by Gray when we came here because the three Void Nesters were well controlled.

The moment the smoke cleared, they became excited as if they had seen prey, and seemed to move a little faster.

Lucy bit her finger: "Ah~~~How scary!"

Although I have seen them once before when I was helping everyone retreat, the number at that time was not as large as it is now.

She originally wanted to say it was disgusting, but when she thought about how these were friendly forces summoned by her companions, she changed her mind to "scary".

And there must be thousands of them, right? In a way, Mr. Rhodes is scary.

As soon as the worms arrived, there was no need for Rhodes' command. The first ones to arrive actively climbed up the foundation of the Phantom and began to gnaw at it with a crunching sound.

Those who were lagging behind tried hard to squeeze into the empty space. If they couldn't, they would step on their companions' bodies and continue to jump forward. When they found an opening, they would start to take advantage of it.

A part in the rear took the same action, and another part spread to both sides.

It's like a rapid stream of water encountering a pile of sand slightly protruding above the water surface. Part of it rushes up and wets the sand above, while part of it spreads out on both sides and wets the surrounding sand.

As long as there is enough water, the sand pile will always be eroded smaller and smaller.

Erza was surprised and said, "Although I have heard you talk about their abilities, it is still amazing to see them with my own eyes."

Rhodes smiled bitterly: "I hope you don't feel disgusted."

"No," Mira comforted, "In fact, if you look closely, it's a different kind of cuteness."

Erza stared at it for a while, then nodded and said, "That's true."

"..." Lucy also stared at it for a while, and felt goose bumps on her arms. She couldn't see the cuteness at all.

Rod didn't know what to say. He felt that Mira was comforting him, and Erza really saw the cuteness of the worms.

Seeing the worms drifting and biting randomly, Erza asked, "Why don't we plan a route for destruction?"

Rhode shook his head: "There is no way to plan. These guys are too stupid. I can only order them to attack and stop. Any more complicated orders will require the queen insect to give them.

And even if it is downloaded, there may be some accidents or delays, and it may not be fully executed. "

A lot, right? IQ is exchanged.

Loki's voice suddenly rang out: "There are too many enemies, we have to retreat!"

Rhodes replied: "Go ahead and retreat, the first batch of reinforcements has arrived."

Several people heard a loud bang, as if Elfman transformed into Beast King and smashed down a large section of the gatehouse of the Phantom Flame's main entrance.

Many enemies were buried underneath, and the road for pursuit was temporarily blocked.

The three members of the feint attack team can relax a little.

Rhode asked casually, "How are Natsu and Gray?"

“Busy! Ahahaha!”

There was a fire in the second floor window of a certain building, and since the construction had stopped, Natsu seemed to be having a good time fighting.

Gray didn't reply, but an ice gun shot out from the window. He must have been enjoying it too.

Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Let's move towards Natsu and Gray. I feel like these two guys are about to get beaten up."

After walking a few steps, they suddenly heard Natsu's voice again: "Wow! Damn it, they actually dug a trap upstairs, damn ghost, everyone be careful!"

Uh……
