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

Chapter 395 War begins

The enemy's large ship might have been equipped with some magic props, as we chased it for most of the night but still couldn't catch it.

The red sun had already set when they set out, and by now the sky in the distance was slightly brighter.

Everyone could see the outlines of mountains in the distance and a conspicuous shadow reaching straight into the clouds.

Simon looked at the huge black shadow: "That's the Tower of Paradise."

Lucy exclaimed, "It's so high!"

Simon said, "Of course, because it's a thousand meters."

A height of one thousand meters is equivalent to several hundred floors, about the height of two Oriental Pearl Towers.

The fact that the building took eight years to build is already quite impressive, not to mention that magic circles, magic crystals and the like had to be arranged during the construction process to form the R system.

It can be said that he is worthy of being a fanatical follower of Jellal.

Rhodes calculated the distance and direction of the night and felt that he was going abroad again.

Rhode recalled the map he had seen: "The Tower of Paradise is built near the coast of the Kingdom of Ka Ailum?"

The Kingdom of Ka-Erum is a large island with a well-developed shipping industry. It is said that it also has a powerful navy. It often has frictions with the Kingdom of Mina to its northeast.

However, since the Kingdom of Fiore is a neutral country, it has trade relations with both countries.

However, since pirates often appeared in this area, the scenery and special products were not outstanding, and it was not a regular route between the three countries, so few merchant ships passed by. Tourists rarely came.

In addition, the shore is blocked by mountains and there is no human habitation within a hundred miles, so the Black Magic Cult must have considered it in detail when choosing to build the R system here.

It was just about the geographical location that Simon couldn't answer: "Because I haven't left since I was captured as a child, so I don't know which country this is."

Simon and several of his companions have been living in the Tower of Paradise. Every day, apart from working and sleeping, they learn a little magic at most and have no idea about anything.

I'm afraid that Jellal deliberately revealed the news about Erza to deepen their inner hatred.

If they were released into society, their ability to survive would probably be only slightly better than Rhodes' when he first arrived.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know where it is. You should know how many people are in the tower, where Gerard lives, and where the ceremony will be held, right?"

"Ah, yes. In addition to Wally and Millianna, there were also laborers and several hundred guards in the tower."

"original?"

"Yes, just a few days ago, the laborers were temporarily sent away. Gerard said that too many people present would hinder the ceremony."

"The ceremony will officially begin at noon tomorrow, and the guards will be asked to go to the bottom of the tower and wait for Jellal's arrival."

This saved a lot of trouble. Rhode asked, "Is there a surveillance magic crystal in the tower?"

"Yes, and a lot." Simon said, "Everything that happens in the tower is under Gerard's control."

"Okay." Rhode asked, "How is everyone's magic power and physical strength?"

Mira: “It has recovered.”

Gray: “No problem!”

Natsu: "We can have a big fight anytime!"

Juvia: "Juvia will definitely help."

Lucy: "I...I will try my best."

As they were about to enter the reconnaissance range of the Paradise Tower, Gray built a large platform with ice and Rhodes summoned the Void Nesters.

When in doubt, use your troops first.

Juvia used magic to create a one-way transparent water film to cover everyone's tracks.

The action plan this time was quite simple, with Natsu taking the lead and making a big scene at the main gate of Paradise Tower to attract as much attention as possible.

This is what they are good at.

Simon would be used as a hostage to see if he could be used to exchange for the harpy. Erza would definitely not be handed over, so the only option was the harpy. As long as the harpy could be exchanged, it didn't matter if Simon could help persuade his companions to rebel.

Anyway, we have worms to supplement the troops.

Rod and Mira were responsible for flying into the air, sneaking into the tower from the top or the body of the tower, and leaving after finding Erza. The task of demolishing the tower was left to the Worms and Vanguards.

The worst-case scenario was that he would have to confront Jellal before rescuing Erza.

Although Simon said that the man was very strong, he seemed to have no idea how strong he was.

Rhode had no way to deal with this. Erza could be in danger at any time, so they had to fight no matter how strong the enemy was.

Even if it was a Saint Ten, he and Mira would not be completely powerless to resist.

The Tower of Paradise was getting closer and closer, and Rhodes stretched out a hand.

Mira placed her hand on the back of his, followed by Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and (with hearts in her eyes) Juvia.

"Fairy Tail..."

"Must win!"

Simon shook his bound hands. He really wanted to join in, but he was too embarrassed to ask, and no one helped him to untie them.

"Action." Rod summoned the Golem, cast the Crown of Insight on him and Mira, and then received the Shadow Wolf. Next, he would rely on his sense of smell to find Erza.

Mira hugged Rhodes' waist from behind, received the Soul of Satan, flapped her wings behind her, and flew upwards with Rhodes.

She didn't use a princess hug, probably because she wanted to save face for Rhodes in front of his companions.

Juvia added a layer of water film over the two of them, trying to cover them for a while longer, hoping that people would mistake them for strange birds once they were in the air.

"Go!" Natsu pulled the river crabs' tentacles, urging them to swim quickly towards the shore.

The water film disappeared, and several people landed directly on the island from the front.

From a distance, the Tower of Paradise looks like a strange big tree covered with vines.

But when you get closer, you can see clearly that each "vine" is a pipe made of unknown material and is thicker than a human.

The entire island is its "roots", and all kinds of pipes are spread all over the island, some of which are crisscrossed and entangled with each other, in a messy and disorganized manner.

Such a huge building looks like a joke, without any planning. But it looks quite like a wasteland mechanical style.

Although it was still dark, the boat had just landed when the lights on the island shone over. The guards spotted them immediately and shouted, "Who are you?"

It is both to check the identity of the stranger and to inform companions.

Natsu jumped onto the shore impatiently, shouting, "Give Erza and Happy back!"

"Intruder! It's an intruder!"

The guard yelled and tried to gather his companions.

The few people who landed did not rush to attack, but allowed these people to gather.

Gray lagged behind his companions and pressed his hands on the sea surface, creating an ice road leading directly to the ice platform where the three nest worms were.

In less than ten minutes, more than five hundred worms had been born. They jumped restlessly on the increasingly crowded platform, not daring to run around because of the queen worm's orders.

As soon as the ice road connected to the platform, the three queen worms raised their heads and roared, and the blue-purple worms jumped happily onto the ice road and rushed towards the building that looked big and delicious.

"I can't bear it anymore!" Natsu looked at the enemies surrounding him, bumped his fists together, and puffed up his cheeks, "Roar of the Fire Dragon!"

The flames lit up the night sky over the island, announcing the start of the battle.

The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. A thousand-meter-high tower, eight years, the Kingdom of Ka-Elum will definitely be able to see it...

Before launching the magic spirit power, the Council will discuss the legal issues of launching an attack there, which shows that it is not a small country that can be bullied by others...

It's so weird o(╥﹏╥)o
