I, the villain, have a system for listening to advice

The other side reported every detail of the battle at the Central American excavation site, so the news coming from the attacking mercenary alliance was certainly reliable.

24 people were killed, 203 were injured, the astronomical compass was stolen, the strategic weapons fell into the hands of private military contractors, and more importantly, the planned route exposed the location of the treasure.

The encrypted navigator on the transport plane has been cracked, and the map fog has lit up.

Mu Jin was surprised to hear Elsa give the result directly. The progress was faster than expected. It seemed that there were many good players in the Mercenary Alliance, and their execution, combat and organizational abilities were remarkable. The real world plus the changed history made them not as stupid as the original work, but they made great achievements. However, it was reasonable to say that the army must have been heavily guarded, so why did something go wrong?

After learning that the magical girl was involved, she held her forehead and sighed. So that's why it's possible, because the two vanguards leading the team are enhanced versions.

What a good move.

Are mercenaries really short of the legendary strategic weapon-level relic? Not really. The real purpose is not the relic. The fabricated news and spread rumors are actually exaggerating the weight of this thing, causing the army to make a mistake in organizing a transport in a hurry, which results in the location of the treasure house being exposed, and the cult is dragged into the water.

Anyway, Mu Jin was planning to get involved.

But she still kept her eyes peeled and asked, "Hasn't the military said anything yet?"

"On the night of the incident, the mercenaries' peripheral companies had already started investigating and arresting them, and all related suppliers were cut off. It was basically a state of economic sanctions. It seems that they have finally made up their minds. The next step should be armed confrontation. Those bases that are completely under the control of the mercenaries will be forcibly taken over."

"...But according to what you said, they didn't announce the Central American events. On paper, the military does have the upper hand, but in reality, everyone is waiting for a result."

Elsa agreed, "Yes, there are two key points now. The Mercenary Alliance's main training ground in Australia will be closed down. There are many relics and related technologies stored here. It is undoubtedly the heart of the area, which may lead to an offensive and defensive battle. The other is the relic treasury. There is news that a large-scale curse will be launched in conjunction with the prophecy book and the prophecy book. It will be more precise, but the performance will be more likely to get out of control. To be honest, there are many different opinions now, and the source of the news cannot guarantee its authenticity. One thing is certain, they are in a state of exchange of fire."

"I see."

Although it is lively, Mu Jin is actually very clear that the grassroots troops will not go to war, so there will not be chaos.

The two sides still retain the last bit of tacit understanding: to control the fight at the top level.

After all, no one wants to rule over a ruin after winning, not to mention that many mercenaries are actually retired soldiers, and it is not easy to let two groups of people who are related to each other fight to the death.

Therefore, this war has obvious "special warfare characteristics". It only needs to capture key locations, facilities or people. It also gives more bystanders the opportunity to remain neutral and not take sides. Everyone is waiting for a clear trend before placing a bet.

Mu Jin cannot be the one who bets and has to leave. She changed her mind before. The cult cannot be absent in this change of order.

Otherwise, how will we divide the spoils in the future? There will be no share for you.

She said: "If I'm not mistaken, the deliberate dispatch of magical girls is also a response to the Administration's solicitation, showing goodwill and winning us over."

Elsa replied: "It's a crude way to lure people into trouble, but it's very effective. Now the military has to consider the cult's position on the opposite side. My last message is that the president of the Mercenary Union and the head of the guild, Bull, wants to meet with him, and I'll choose Glacier Island."

"I'm not surprised by the first few words, but this big shot had to come to the North Pole..."

"Why do you think, boss?"

"In terms of distance, it is indeed closer, and it is also within the firepower coverage of the European control zone. He is also protected by the magical girl, and he should want to use this to save face for the Administration." Mu Jin thought about it carefully and understood that it would be better to let the other party come to his own territory.

The silver-haired girl glanced out the window at the glacier island that was under construction and sighed. It was clearly a construction site. Since the guests didn't mind, the host might as well be more generous.

"Just reply and say that I'd welcome you and someone would be sent to pick you up. You can come along too. The time is up to him and he's always available."

After giving a few more instructions, Elsa hung up and handed over a stack of files.

Including the two magical girls who made a big splash at the Central American excavation site, after they returned, they received the Sequoia Company's communication of its expectations for the Administration, and it was finally decided that they could first serve as temporary peripheral employees.

From a personality perspective, the sisters don't really like militarized organizations. Of course, it would be best if there was an administration that was relatively free and allowed them to be affiliated.

After the two agreed, a resume was submitted to the church.

Magical girl Xifu Haitang, real name Ruan Xinyue, time magic, save point. She comes from an ordinary family, is lazy but passionate about studying magic, likes games, and gradually becomes interested in fighting and killing as a mercenary. She has a soft but strong personality. Although her identity seems to have been discovered and she has received a special employment letter from Sequoia, the two sides are actually not employed but cooperated, and even promised shares.

According to General Sid, "She said I was one in a million, so I had to pay more, and my appearance fees were getting higher and higher."

Still got some brains.

Magical girl Daifenye, real name Ruan Manyue, space magic, knocker. As a younger sister, she is an active and good student. Since she came into contact with the mercenaries, in addition to helping "open doors" everywhere to do infiltration missions, she has even been responsible for part of her sister's equity management, and she has not suffered too much in the face of a group of old hands.

In addition, there are a dozen magical girls who are willing to join the Administration or the cult.

As expected, Redwood Company had some personnel, but Mu Jin was actually surprised. Was it so easy? Would the No. 1 Mercenary Group in North America hand over its personnel just because I said so much?

She even worried that there was a fraud, but in fact everything went very smoothly. It was nothing more than an employee job-hopping between companies.

According to Elsa, there were no additional agreements.

Hyacinthus's reputation spread far and wide, and even General Sid was willing to give her some face. Moreover, the Mercenary Alliance was now in need of help, so he might as well suffer a little loss. Anyway, he never thought that the magical girl would always follow him.

Mu Jin has to admire the person who was described as a "non-stick pan" by netizens. He really has his own way of dealing with it. She can't find any fault with this way of dealing with it and it feels quite comfortable.

A pleasure to work with.

Sequoia Corporation truly inherited the political wisdom of the founders of the Thirteen States. The existence of a mercenary alliance with such smart people actually reassures her. She just hopes they are not bad teammates. However, the full-scale attack from the military has just begun, so she has to hold on first.

Hibiscus needs to provide some entertainment, otherwise the shabby appearance of Glacier Island will seem disrespectful.

Hermit Island ended its training camp ahead of schedule and opened.

As the situation became more tense, Mu Jin had no time to waste at the headquarters. She had to build a prototype of the Glacier Island as soon as possible, lest no one would recognize it or make a fuss about it during the chaos. She would feel relieved only after the relevant facilities were built and fully used by herself.

She readjusted her work, and the telescopic viewing mirror fully opened the channels, and the magical girls and tamed disaster beasts were responsible for the transportation of building materials.

Because the workers were so hardworking, not even the freezing cold could stop the construction progress, and thanks to Mu Jin's design, houses were built at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was easier than expected, thanks to the rich magic of the Glacier Island which allowed everyone to recover faster.

The busiest one is Jin Yulu.

Ordinary construction machinery cannot operate at the North Pole, so she had to be in charge of the parts that were difficult for magical girls and disaster beasts to move, but the person in question was quite happy to do so, claiming that she could "train her double transformation durability by the way." How could everything be interpreted as involution? She also reminded everyone to take advantage of the construction to train their magic to see if it had any relevant effects, and to have some free time to relax.

The construction of Glacier Island is in full swing. It is being built quickly with continuous confirmation from Mu Jin and netizens, and it looks different every day.

The project seems complicated, but what she lacks the least is think tank. Some professionals give suggestions to ensure the progress. The "Glacier Island Phase I Project" has even become a professional representative theme post. A large number of practitioners provide valuable guidance. Even Mu Jin, a layman, has learned a lot from them.

In just three days, a small flat was built to serve as a place to stay.

It's winter at the North Pole but it feels like a tropical island vacation. Fortunately, the magical girls are not afraid of the cold, otherwise they would sneeze and feel even colder just by looking at the picture.

Gulu!

The wreckage of a nuclear submarine was docked at a nearby port. Nan Zhiyi was seen directing Xiang Yunwei and Gu Rubai to dismantle the nuclear warheads on the submarine-launched ballistic missiles and roll them out and stack them up carelessly. Judging from the size of each missile, one was enough to blow up the Hermit Island.

The magical girl Dandelion remained calm as she checked the internal information of the submarine and counted the nuclear bombs one by one.

Without a key to activate them, they are the most secure weapons in the world, but it doesn't matter to the cult. There are too many ways to bypass the authorization process.

Mu Jin asked, "How is the integrity of the missile?"

Nan Zhiyi shook his head. "What a pity. Most of them are twisted and deformed in the collision. If we dare to use them to deliver nuclear bombs, no one knows where they will land. They are a bunch of Brownian motion guys. In this case, we might as well store the nuclear warheads first."

"Don't rush to deal with it. Just leave it like this. Customers will come in a while."

“佣兵？”

"And it's President Bull."

"So amazing!" Nan Zhiyi was slightly startled, then showed admiration on his face, "You are brave enough to go to the meeting alone."

"In fact, I didn't confirm my bet on any side not long ago, but the Mercenary Alliance has made more outstanding achievements. This time is very important, and I want to hear your opinion."

"It's simple. We've made the bet no matter what. We must win a seat on the winning side, otherwise the cult will have no say in the new order. It's easier said than done. We have to win. Let's just ask ourselves how much we can bet on? How much we can sacrifice? Including ourselves?"

The two of them looked at the nuclear bombs piled in front of them at the same time, and when they found that their eyes were on the same point, they couldn't help but laugh.

"No way? We are too crazy." Mu Jin laughed at herself.

"How can we compete with those guys who have accumulated wealth for hundreds of years without taking some unusual measures?"

"In order to avoid that, we need to gain an advantage from the beginning. In the early stages, I will stay at Hermit Island, and then I will go wherever we are needed. However, the key is to see how the Mercenary Alliance will meet next."

Suddenly, the voices of some magical girls interrupted their conversation, and they brought a TV with an expression of wanting to watch the fun.

"Senior, big news is coming!"

Thanks to the opening of the closed barrier of Hermit Island, even the North Pole can receive some weak signals, and the picture gradually becomes clear: in the center is Croft, the commander-in-chief of the disaster beast coalition army, and beside him are a group of generals. The atmosphere is quite depressing, and these veterans seem to have a murderous aura coming from them. His eyes are fixed on the camera, as if he is staring at someone, and he is intimidating without anger.

Croft made no move to check his speech, and went straight to the point:

"I have reported the Central American attack to the Supervisory Court and obtained a search warrant for the illegal operations of the relevant mercenary companies. You are no longer legally protected until the full investigation is completed... But that's not what I want to say. The details will be reported later."

He stood up straight and spoke in a more severe tone: "This is a rebellion, infighting and careerist activities. The culprit, Bull, is destroying the peaceful environment."

"The joint forces have taken necessary measures, including the use of certain relics. I hope that this will not come as a surprise to everyone."

"At the same time as the press conference, some troops and mercenaries who went to investigate exchanged fire. It was obvious that there was a command behind the scenes. So I advised Bull to immediately order the disarmament and stop advancing against certain state agencies. Otherwise, it would lead to a devastating blow."

"This is an ultimatum!"

Croft's speech was shorter than expected. He was ruthless and said few words throughout the whole speech, but it hit the nail on the head and directly challenged the legal rights of the mercenary company.

He is sending a signal that more official forces are on the side of the military.

The magical girls didn't really care about the fight between the two groups. What was important was that the Central American incident was only briefly mentioned, and even the magical attack was not mentioned at all.

The military is very smart. They just briefly mention what should be simplified and don't make a direct conclusion. The most urgent task is to control the arsenals of the major mercenary companies. Rather than declaring war, the ultimatum is more like trying to win the middle power and delay time. Since it has been identified as a rebellion, it must be wiped out completely, otherwise it will completely damage the world's power to fight against the disaster beasts, and the next wave of disasters will definitely be a slump.

Nan Zhiyi couldn't help but ask: "According to Croft's intention, he is going to set conditions in order to divide the mercenaries?"

"What a joke. He will kill as many as he can recruit. Even if he is willing to protect people, his subordinates who are stained with blood feud will eliminate the surrendered. Is this an ultimatum? No, I only heard the warning that if I don't fight, I will die. To eliminate these guys has nothing to do with justice, but profit."

"Aren't you worried about the alliance terminating or weakening operations?"

"They are not ignorant peasant soldiers who can be dealt with easily. Mercenaries want power and we want status. We will fight until we win."

The magical girls were also shocked by Hibiscus' words, but after thinking it over they decided to follow to the end. Looking at the army's aggressive attitude, they thought Senior Hyacinthus was more reliable.

"Don't be too sad. Not many high-ranking officials will die. This is modern politics. It's a reality show game."

……

A private plane over the North Atlantic.

Bull took off the headphones connected to the radio broadcasting news and laughed disdainfully. Then he turned around and said to the back seat: "Ms. Pesha, Mr. Sid, have you received any news that the executives have been cursed?"

"Five. It should be that Redwood Company is relatively close, and their deaths were caused by skin ulcers caused by a virus, not the expected cause and effect."

"Three. There should have been more. One was saved by a test of a holy medicine. The absoluteness of that thing is also questionable."

The three old foxes immediately let go of their tension. It was well known that the relic had even worked on the catastrophe beasts. It was called [Plague Seeds], but it might have to be used with the black cans. Now it was in the hands of the Salvation Cult. But we can't be complacent too soon. There are many strange things. If the seeds are used with the two prophecy books, it will definitely be called the name of the god of death. There is also [Scarecrow], which is also worth being vigilant...

The strength of the Relic Vault is not how many powerful cards it contains, but how they complement each other. As long as there is enough inventory, there will be no weaknesses.

so troublesome.

Although Antarctica has received some route guidance, further investigation is still needed.

"Don't worry, everyone." Xifu Haitang, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to speak: "Since we are acquaintances, I will give you a save file, 500 million per person, and you can regret it if you encounter any accidents."

Daifenye poked her arm and said, "Sis, don't you know that it's very consuming? Don't sell it easily."

The two of them sang the same tune in advertising.

Bull smiled and spread his hands. "It's a pity that all my assets are frozen, otherwise I would definitely pay a very high price to take care of your business. What a coincidence. By the way, ladies, personal survival is not important in this war. You should conserve your fighting power, so that at least you can get revenge."

"President, it turns out that you are more aware than I expected."

Elsa, who had just called back from the other cabin, greeted him. At this moment, she was also dressed in a black formal dress and did not hide her identity with formal attire to show trust.

"You're being polite. I think being a mercenary is a great career. History just happened to choose me. Death cannot stop the trend of the times."

"This knowledge alone is better than many people." Elsa continued, "We should be able to get a response in another five minutes. It's Senior Wen Shulan. She will guide the plane to a safe place."

The Glacier Island is wrapped in the clouds of the Hermit Island and has gone into radio silence. It can hide better than a nuclear submarine, so navigation is necessary, and it is best to use human navigation.

This name is well-known.

Anyone who has investigated the Savior Cult will be familiar with this. Wen Shulan is one of the first magical girls and has performed powerfully several times. Even now, people can't forget the scene of meteorites falling from the sky during the Battle of Los Angeles. Moreover, in the recent Battle of the North Pole, she was in the group of disaster beasts under her direct command and also swept through thousands of troops. In terms of comprehensive strength, she is definitely at the forefront of the cult.

"Director Elsa, are there many people who possess rare magic in the cult?" Xifu Haitang asked in surprise.

"Yes, there are causal systems like mine, as well as space systems, time systems, combat systems in the skill systems, and true self domains in the domain systems. To be honest, you will definitely find similar ones, especially since Senior Hyacinthus knows how to teach and should have more insights into similar magic. Let's make progress together."

"…It does sound interesting."

"Sis, you can join the cult and get along with them for a while."

Elsa said, "We are more like mercenaries taking on missions than a military organization. We are usually very idle. It would be more convenient if you are strong and don't need to be supervised."

Xifu Haitang nodded slightly, and gave her sister a slap on the head, indicating that she should not be a lobbyist in a treacherous way.

The mercenaries nearby pretended they didn't exist and watched as the largest magical girl force openly poached and recruited them. This director's strange ability to be loved was too suitable, and since they couldn't keep her, they might as well just relax and accept it.

They even did some ideological work on the Ruan sisters and pushed them to join the sect. After all, having someone in the sect who had a good impression of them was a gain in itself.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the cabin door ten thousand meters in the air, and then a pink-haired girl was seen with her profile pressed tightly against the glass window. The wind pressure passing by at high speed made her expression become quite funny.

"Driver, please open the door."
