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

Chapter 60: Gangsters! That's it?
Rod and Mira said they wanted to take a break and get some fresh air, and asked the driver to wait for a while.

The request was not excessive, so the driver did not refuse and cooperated by driving the horses to a shady place to rest.

Rhodes took Mira a little further away.

From the driver's angle, he could only see Rhodes' back, and Mira's figure was blocked.

The driver lit a cigarette and shook his head slightly: "Young people nowadays..."

In fact, the two people were just discussing things normally.

"I've seen the vision of the swift crab behind us. There are currently no other vehicles on this road, so their target is most likely us."

Mira frowned, "But why? Can you confirm their identities?"

"I don't know him... The man holding the staff has a 'ghost' emblem on the back of his neck." Rhode raised his eyebrows.
"The Swift Crab was spotted, and they were a little wary, but they ignored it and let it go."

"'Phantom', is that the 'ruler of the Phantom'?"

Mira knew that there was some old grudge between Spectre and Fairy Tail, and that there would occasionally be some minor friction when the wizards of the two guilds met.

Rhode nodded: "Yes, it is the strongest guild in Fiore along with our Fairy Tail."

He remembered the information of the Phantom Guild President and several aces, and these two were obviously not among them.

Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "I have three plans now. Please help me with the advice."

There are people in our guild who, when faced with a problem, don't just rush in, but instead propose solutions first, and they often propose three solutions at a time!
The president will definitely be pleased!
Just in case, Mira asked, "Among the three options, rushing over and throwing the Exploding Magic Crystal shouldn't be included, right?"

"How can I be so cruel? Seeing a wizard standing in the middle of the road, I want to blow him up. Even the dark guild would not do that, right?"

Jenny might have something to say.

"The first option is the easiest one. Now that we know their location, we can just go around them," said Rhodes.
"This can directly avoid possible conflicts without any danger. The disadvantage is that we can't figure out their purpose, and if we avoid it this time, there may be another time."

Mira nodded: "And if they are not targeting us but the guild, then other companions may be in danger in the future."

“The second option is to keep going, and when they start to make trouble we will immediately fight back. By then they are the ones who started the conflict, and they will be dealt with by the Council.

But we don’t know what kind of magic they have or how powerful they are. There is a possibility that we may overturn the car, and the driver will also be affected.

I don’t recommend that.”

If Erza or Natsu were here, they would probably choose this. As long as they are right, they would just fight first and talk later.

Mira felt that she and Rhode were not suitable to be so impulsive, because they brought too many explosive magic crystals, which could easily result in death.

"Then the last one must be the safest?"

Rhode nodded: "Well, the third plan is that we rest here first, I will release hundreds of millions of wild monsters over there and see if I can deal with them.

We will torture them severely later to see what their purpose is. If we can't deal with them, we can go back and ask the president to deal with them."

As long as they are not the signature ones of Phantom, there is no need for the leader to take action to deal with them.

Mira felt that Rhodes could handle it by himself, so she nodded: "Then I'll leave it to the guard, do you need my cooperation?"

"Ms. Mirajane, please take a good rest. I brought some snacks. Please treat the coachman a little bit. Please don't rush him."

Mira smiled and said, “Yes, Mr. Rhodes.”

Rhodes immediately took action, first moving the river crab at the back to the front as well.

Open your vision before a fight to avoid being caught alone. This is called anti-gank awareness.

Then he summoned two groups of stone beetles and told them to burrow underground and crawl through the ground.

Then come two groups of Shadow Wolves, and let them use their special skills to sneak among the roadside trees and bushes in the fields.

Finally, add a group of raptors and have them spread out and fly low, ready to launch an air strike at any time.

As for the last group of razor-beaked birds and two magic frogs, Rhodes had to save some magic power for backup and not drain himself before the battle started.

Mira watched the monsters leave in groups, wondering whether there were two or twenty enemies. …

Behind the small mound, one kilometer away.

The wizard holding the flute asked, "Star, we have been waiting for an hour. When will they arrive?"

The wizard holding the staff said, “Be patient, Faru.

The trip from Flower City to Fairy Tail will definitely pass by here, and even if it's slow, we can still get there before noon."

"Oh." Faro boredly pressed the holes on the flute and suddenly said,
"Have you seen that big crab? It's so strange, running around on land so far away from the water. What kind is it?"

"Who knows, it might be a common animal around here." Star pointed with the tip of his staff, "Isn't that another one?"

Faru licked his lips and pretended to put the flute to his mouth: "Catch one and try it. We haven't had breakfast yet in order to stop them in advance."

"Don't do unnecessary things." Star said.
"As long as we can embarrass Fairy Tail, we'll have a chance to be transferred to the headquarters.

Then... I will be able to meet Gajeel-san! The powerful Gajeel-san!"

When that name was mentioned, Star's eyes were full of admiration, and Faru's face also showed longing.

"Hey, why doesn't that crab leave?"

"Don't tell me, you think we are food?"

The size and appearance of the river crab were so intimidating that the two wizards became nervous and pointed their weapons at the river crab.

At this moment, the ground beneath their feet shook, and two ancient stone beetles broke out of the ground, clamping the two men's waists with their pincer-like mouthparts.

"Wow! Monster!"

"What is this?"

In a panic, one of them raised his staff and the other blew his flute.

At this time, two more stone beetles broke out of the ground, attacking their staffs and flutes.

Just then, a light bullet flew out from the pentagram on the top of the staff, and a sound wave bullet flew out from the hole at the tail of the flute, each hitting a stone beetle.

The two stone beetles fell to the ground and split into four mini stone beetles, continuing to charge according to Rhodes' orders.

"What kind of monster is this!"

The two were already a little panicked at this time. The full-strength attack at the critical moment actually increased the number of enemies!

Without knowing the information, it would be natural to feel daunted if you fight more and more monsters.

But they had no choice but to continue their attack.

But six shadow wolves jumped out from the bushes on the side of the road again.

Four ordinary wolves bit the wrists of the two men respectively, causing their weapons to fly out of their hands. Two two-headed wolves stood in front of the two men, and their four mouths growled softly into their four ears.

The four mini stone beetles continued their 'expendable weapons' mission rigidly, rushing towards the two weapons that flew out.

Sixteen insect legs like stone pestles stomped down, breaking the staff and crushing the flute.

I was bitten and couldn't struggle, my weapon was completely crushed, the ferocious wolf head was howling in my ears, I could smell the fishy smell from the wolf's mouth, and I could feel the wolf's saliva splashing on my face...

"I'm dead..." Star fell into despair and gave up struggling completely.

Faru simply rolled his eyes and fainted.

Six red-haired strange birds, one big and five small, flew low and landed on the ground not far away. The order given by their owner was to launch an air strike if the opponent resisted fiercely, but now there was nothing they could do.

Rhode, who was observing the battlefield through the river crab, showed an unbelievable expression. I was so well prepared, but they -

"That's it?"
