"So, what's going on with Mr. William?"

At this time, a general in charge of military and political affairs finally couldn't hold it in any longer and took this opportunity to speak——

"The information and intelligence department that Mr. William is responsible for can be regarded as an important part of our military department, right? Even if there is a brief period of peace, we are still in a wartime state after all. Mr. William has been absent many times.

Our internal military meeting. And I heard that the last time he came back in a hurry was to report the emergency situation to the lady, but after that time came the news that Mr. William was attacked by the vampires. I want to know, where is Mr. William now?

What's the situation? What kind of urgent information did he report to Madam Marquis?"

People from the military department asked questions, which seemed a little difficult for the members of Mermaid Song. As the person in charge of the military field, Jiji could only stand up and said: "Mr. Sweet Pepper, I think I should have talked to you before.

You and the generals have talked about this matter. The information department is temporarily taken over by Mr. William's three deputies. There are no major problems in the intelligence system yet. Mr. William himself also has important work to do, so he is not able to move forward for the time being.

Come to the meeting."

The general named Sweet Pepper was not convinced by Jelly's words at all, but continued: "General Jelly, I know that you are one of the guild members of Mermaid Song, although you are still in charge of military strategy.

Responsibilities, but in most cases, I think all the members of Mermaid Song should be private soldiers belonging to the Marquis, and directly follow the orders of the Marquis."

"I personally don't have any objections to this kind of thing. After all, as you said, the Marquis is not strong, so she needs you to act as her ears, eyes, and ears. But now, Mr. Cream has left us no trace at all.

He suddenly disappeared without any information. Even if he is also one of the Marquis's private soldiers, this situation has never happened before. Even in the most urgent situation, Mr. William will leave us some clues.

, instead of completely sinking into the sea like it is now.”

"General Jelly, this is not my own speculation. I believe that most people here have a question in their minds. That is, has something happened inside the Mermaid Song? Is there something going on... This situation even has

Maybe it's a decisive strategic situation that has now put us in a very passive situation?"

Facing everyone's doubts, the members of Mermaid Song seemed a little embarrassed and nervous.

At this moment, Suta was holding his hands tightly, seemingly at a loss and not knowing what to do now.

Bass on the side looked at his wife showing such an anxious expression. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said -

"Everyone, please be quiet now."

The words of this magic swordsman seemed to be a little cold and distant at any time and at any time. But just by standing here, he seemed to be able to draw people's attention to him.

Seeing that the eyes of all the participants were focused on him, Bass then opened his mouth and said——

"You should all know that I am the last member to join the Mermaid Song Guild. To be honest, I have not been very concerned about the affairs of the guild. Most of the time, I have been assisting my wife in running the guild.

thing."

"However, even though I have been a member of the guild for the shortest time, I know that the Mermaid Song is now more than just an adventurers guild. The Mermaid Army is a huge organization, and this organization should not rely solely on one leader.

"

"I once had a private conversation with our president. She once told me personally that if one day she dies, she hopes that the Mermaid Army can continue to move in the right direction. The Mermaid Army should not have any negative consequences because of someone's life or death.

The changes in the world should not lose its backbone and fall apart just because of someone’s absence.”

Bas turned his head, silently looked at his wife Suta who was also looking at him next to him, and continued -

"Essentially, I don't know the situation of the president, Mochi and Ji Lian. I also heard that there was a fight between them that day. Maybe for some reason, they didn't tell me about it.

The actual situation is that I believe there are some members of Mermaid Song present who don’t know what happened just like me.”

"However, even if I don't know anything, I still choose to trust my colleagues. They must have reasons and reasons for keeping secrets. All I can do now is to continue to trust my wife, trust the president, and

My colleagues who believe in me, stick with it and wait for one day in the future, I believe that the president will definitely tell me the truth of the matter."

Having said this, Bass' eyes once again circled the audience, looking at the doubtful people, and even glanced at Qiangwei. It seemed that after confirming that these people's eyes had really softened, he took his seat again.

Suta next to her looked at her husband with admiration, her face full of blush and joy.

Bas looked at Suta's smile, and after a moment, he nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and the two of them held hands under the table and continued to sit down.

Now, the topic has returned to other participants.

But now, as one of the members of Mermaid Song, Basdu has taken the initiative to confess that he doesn't know about Ariel's situation, and even said that he accepts the fact that he doesn't know. So what reason do other people who are slightly distant from the relationship have to continue to press?

What's an answer?

The cold smile on Qiangwei's face remained. She slowly closed her eyes and said, "Buffy, according to this magic swordsman, the affairs of Ms. Ariel, Miss Machi and Mr. Cream belong to you."

It’s an internal matter of the guild, so we external staff can leave it alone for the time being, okay?”

Buffy obviously did not expect that she would be caught out by the acting leader at this time. She looked a little panicked for a moment and quickly looked at her husband Brad next to her.

And Brad quickly reached out to protect Buffy and said, "Ms. Rose, this kind of thing..."

"I'm asking my kindred, Buffy, one of the flower fairies. Did I ask you?"

Qiangwei didn't seem to want to hear Brad's explanation, so she just said one sentence.

At first, Brad seemed a little confused by this question. But when he looked at the Buffy he was protecting in his palm and looked at him with a pair of helpless eyes, this big

The boy immediately plucked up the courage and said -

"Ms. Rose, although I am not a flower fairy, I am Buffy's husband! Since Buffy and I are husband and wife, then we are one body, so it doesn't matter if I answer for her, right? Since Mr. Bass said this

This matter should be an internal matter within our Mermaid Song, so Buffy and I feel that it should be handled in this way."

Faced with Brad's toughness, Qiangwei suddenly turned around, opened her eyes and stared at Brad.

The cold smile on her face has now disappeared, replaced by a very serious and serious expression.

However, when she saw that Brad was still protecting Buffy with both hands, as if he really wanted to protect the flower fairy who had become his wife in name, the serious look on Rose's face

But it slowly turned into softness. She sighed softly, then turned back to the round table again, but said nothing.

Seeing that Qiangwei was not expressing her opinions now, it was certainly hard for other participants to say anything. After all, the original intention of this roundtable meeting was to adhere to Ariel Garcia's will. What did the Marquis think?

People can speak for themselves, so it is better to involve everyone in the discussion and avoid one person appearing to be particularly important.

In this case, now that Ariel Garcia is away, isn't it the time to make full use of the function of this roundtable?

Seeing that the questioning atmosphere on these people's faces gradually faded away, Margaux slowly exhaled and said, "I'm very happy that we can all reach a consensus. So now, let's start the meeting."

At this time, the pesticide program in the medical and alchemy departments was finally officially put on the agenda for discussion. At the same time, after several confirmations from the field leaders of Qiangwei and other agricultural departments, the discussion of this work was concluded.

After an agenda is concluded, the rest of the meeting will become much simpler and faster. The department leaders present will raise issues in their departments one by one and put them on the table for discussion. If no result can be obtained for the time being,

Then put it aside for now and discuss the next issue first. Wait until the simple issues are dealt with, and then deal with these more difficult issues. If there is still no consistent answer to these questions within a short period of time, then put it aside for now and let the questions come up.

The leaders of the departments responsible for the proposal continued to collect materials and verify themselves.

The meeting went very quickly, and before long, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Seeing as it is getting late, continuing to discuss these issues may seem a bit procrastinating. Let the Vampire members listen to the remaining issues for a while and confirm that they have no objections, then leave them to discuss during the day.

"So now, do you have any other proposals that need to be put forward for discussion?"

Coco gathered the materials in her hands and asked out of courtesy.

Everyone has almost begun to collect the items in their hands, and it seems that there should be no doubts.

But just when Coco was about to announce the end of the meeting, suddenly, a person raised a hand.

Coco's eyes fell on that person, who was the chief of staff of the foreign affairs department who was responsible for communicating with nearby villages and towns. In the meeting just now, the chief of staff had almost no opinions and all had a blank look on his face.

He agreed in agreement.

Regarding the chief of staff of the foreign affairs department, Coco put down the documents he had sorted out and said, "Do you have any proposals to make? Chief of the foreign affairs department?"

The chief clerk stood up slowly, exhaled slightly, and finally said -

"Dear colleagues and comrades-in-arms, I know it's getting late now, and I shouldn't delay the meeting at this time. But there is really an important thing on my side that needs to be brought up for discussion."

The purser's face looked very solemn, and such a solemn expression certainly made everyone else stop what they were doing and look at him.

The purser took a breath and said: "At the end of December last year, that is, before we were conducting the Holy Night Festival battle, the Marquis called me, a staff member of the foreign affairs department, and had some words with me."

"The lady told me that once we really succeed in taking over Ocean City, and even succeed in gaining a dominant position in Haize Province, then one of the departments that will be under the greatest pressure will probably be our foreign affairs department. So.

, Madam hopes that the staff of our foreign affairs department can be sufficiently mentally prepared, and if there is any important information, they must report it to her as soon as possible. "

The purser lowered his head and said with a haggard look: "I asked the lady, what kind of information is important? The lady at the time just smiled and told me that she didn't know. But she was very sure that when we get it,

After going to Haize Province, some major diplomatic events will definitely happen. Since our foreign affairs department is connected with other forces, we will definitely know the news as soon as possible, and I will definitely be able to identify the so-called important events as soon as possible.

What exactly is it."

"After that, I didn't dare to slack off at all in accordance with Madam's instructions. After we successfully occupied Haize Province, the work of the foreign affairs department suddenly became busy. We need to contact the Blue Bay Empire, the Hunter

Empire, Storm Empire, and many other countries, and many surrounding countries are very surprised that we can regain a city from the hands of the Demon King, and at the same time, they are also 'interested' in our true strength."

"In the past few months, our foreign affairs department has indeed been very busy. But this busyness is the same as the busyness of everyone present. Although there are many trivial things, I don't think that any things are very important and need to be reported directly.

To Ms. Ariel. So, regarding this matter, I just thought it was an instruction from the lady, or insurance. If it happened, there was a backup plan, which meant that there was no need to go through the normal notification process, but directly to the

She reports in person."

"So, I stopped paying attention and continued to be busy with my own work."

Having said this, the chief purser's face suddenly turned gloomy and he said——

"But just half a month ago, I suddenly received a request for a diplomatic visit. The source of the visit was from the Blue Bay Empire. The visitor claimed to be the envoy of the Blue Bay Emperor and came to congratulate us on our victory over the Demon King's Army. For

I didn’t pay much attention to such visits. In the days before, many businessmen or political representatives came to congratulate us, and we all received them according to normal etiquette.”

"But this time, when the envoy appeared in my office, he formally made a request to our mermaid army on behalf of the Blue Bay Emperor."
