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

Chapter 344 Tide
Rhode felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Natsu:
"Um, Lucy, go pick up Cana, Loki, and Elfman."

Lucy also felt embarrassed: "Well... okay."

Rhodes stuffed two crystal balls and a book into her hands: "Put the magic crystal in your pocket and take the magic book. Don't worry about Baluge's mission when necessary. Call her back at any time. Be careful."

"Okay." Lucy ran towards the main entrance of Phantom with the book in her arms.

The blue-purple swarm of insects naturally surged forward, sweeping away the sculptures, decorations, railings and other objects outside the Phantom.

The ground is also their favorite food, and holes are everywhere after being gnawed away.

Now the fastest group of worms have climbed up to the top of the spire in front.

Rhode and the others watched helplessly as the outer wall of the tower was covered with blue-purple spots, and gaps began to appear everywhere from bottom to top.

The tower was like a tree being gnawed by beavers, sinking from the roots outwards and on the verge of collapse.

Finally it collapsed.

Many unlucky worms were hit by the collapsed buildings and disappeared, but nearby worms immediately pounced on them and hollowed out and devoured the fallen buildings.

They seem to have a particular liking for this type of tower-shaped building.

There seemed to be a few survivors in the tower, but because they subconsciously attacked a worm, they were pounced on by a group of worms, biting them until their clothes were torn and their bodies were covered with wounds.

When the survivors fell to the ground, unable to resist, they were safe.

Because the worms will abandon these people and pounce on the nearest building or building debris to continue their feast.

They don't eat people, people are not as delicious as pagodas.

The worms jumped over the fallen people, like a group of Marios crossing obstacles. The scene was spectacular.

Of course, some impolite worms will jump over people's faces, or step on their chests and abdomens, and their falling power may not be as strong as that of a fat orange...

We are all wizards with strong physiques. I believe they will be fine and will forgive the worms for being young and ignorant.

When the blue-purple wave hit the main building of the Phantom, the main building gradually began to lose corners.

At this time, several members of the feint attack team also saw the "first batch of reinforcements" that Rhodes mentioned.

The swarms of blue-purple insects gnawing everywhere really made people feel... reassured? Probably.

"Kana, Loki, Elfman!" Lucy ran over, "How are you? Mr. Rod asked me to pick you up."

Loki subconsciously wanted to hide, but realizing that the war was not over yet, he barely controlled himself.

Kana said, "We are fine, but Rhode actually asked you to go to the front line?"

Although they said they were fine, the three of them actually had some injuries and dust on their bodies. This was inevitable when outnumbered.

Lucy showed the magic book in her hand: "Because I am also a member of Fairy Tail, I can fight too!"

Elfman, who had returned to his original form, touched his chest and found that he also had a copy of the book in his arms.

It’s just that Kana and Loki didn’t bring them because they thought it was troublesome.

boom! boom!
The stones blocking the door were blasted open by magic by the people inside, and the Phantom's men rushed out.

A small number of them are ordinary people, some with bare hands and some with magic props.

Most of them wore uniform white robes and black cloaks, and held a one-handed sword in their hands.

These people kept running out of the door, seemingly endlessly, as if the castle was just a factory for producing them.

"Hey~~~~" Lucy was shocked, "Have you three been fighting this number of enemies?"

Kana held a few flashing cards between her fingers. "These are the soldiers created by Joseph with magic - ghost soldiers. But... we didn't know there were so many enemies." Loki said, "Because the space in the corridor is limited, the enemies we can see are not so exaggerated, and there are not many enemies we need to face at the same time."

"man!"

Kana grabbed Elfman by the collar and said, "It's time for a man to retreat and meet up with the reinforcements."

"Yes, we have reinforcements!" Lucy perked up and pointed a finger at the enemy, "Bugs, charge!"

······
It was as if a cold wind was blowing around her. Lucy stood there frozen in place. The swarm of insects was doing what it was doing and completely ignored her.

Lucy was horrified. "Oh! I forgot. Mr. Rhodes said they don't really obey orders!"

Cana looked at Lucy and sighed. She found that the girl was a little stupid: "Is this what Rod meant by asking us to retreat? They may not take the initiative to protect us."

Lucy asked blankly, "What should we do then?"

"Of course we're running away!" Kana called out, turning around and starting to run away with Loki Elfman.

A magic bullet landed at Lucy's feet, creating a small hole in the ground.

"Huh!?!" Lucy dodged suddenly and was almost scared to tears. She screamed and ran away with everyone.

When the ordinary members of Spectre and the Ghost Soldiers chased the four people to the vicinity of the swarm, some of the worms that were marching forward changed direction.

They passed by the four people's feet and rushed towards the ghost members, making the four people unsure whether they should continue to move forward.

"What is that, a bug?"

“This amount of people gathered together, it’s disgusting!”

"They're destroying the guild!"

"Ghost soldiers, stop them!"

However, the ghost soldiers did not really listen to the orders of the ghost members. They were only concerned with chasing Kana and the others.

It was not until the first ghost soldier was bitten by a worm that the ghost soldiers classified these worms as enemies.

Swish! The ghost soldier swung his weapon down, and a worm disappeared, but more worms pounced on his arms, legs, and shoulders, until he was completely submerged in blue-purple worms.

A teeth-grinding gnawing sound was heard, and the ghost soldiers' weapons and clothes were gnawed into tatters. Their bodies gradually became unable to move, and finally disappeared.

The worms pounced on their next target.

The ghost soldiers behind might have better performance and killed three, four or even more worms, but they would still be overwhelmed in the end.

Ordinary members other than the ghost soldiers performed even worse, because although they were more intelligent than the ghost soldiers, they would also feel pain, fear, and hesitate.

But as long as you don't withdraw from the battlefield immediately, you will eventually be swept forward.

If you look down from the air, the battlefield looks like a collision of black and white waves and a blue-purple torrent, with the boundary line gradually extending to both sides.

The two sides advanced and retreated, and blue-purple "peaks" appeared every moment, like protruding reefs in the water.

But those peaks will quickly melt away and new peaks will appear.

This scene is like the process of collision and compression between two continental plates accelerated many times and miniaturized in this small battlefield.

The difference is that these two sectors are being reduced, and both are receiving reinforcements from the rear.

The outcome will depend on which side has greater numbers.
