But as Ariel, she now encountered a rather... "interesting" problem.

The thing is very simple. As the president of Mermaid Song and a very important figure in the entire Pelican City, she should have a say in the division of booth areas in the central square.

Then the problem comes.

I actually have a commission on the sales of cigarettes and the sales of the Flower Fairy. In other words, the sales of their products will receive a portion of Mermaid Song's commission. In this case, I have to arrange their positions.

In the busiest and most crowded places, you can meet your own commission needs, but at the same time, it will also cause the entire central square to be very congested, and the roads will be blocked, and several places will form sightseeing dead spots, thereby reducing the traffic of the entire central square.

What about the number of shops?

In order to make the entire Pelican City better, we should separate these two major traffic sources as much as possible, plan the shops in the entire central square, and slightly reduce the number of commissions to achieve a more efficient operation of the entire Pelican City.

What about development?

Hmm...this is really a problem.

Round Cheese on the side looked at Ariel nervously.

The president's brows were furrowed, and he looked even more thoughtful when looking at the plan of the central square. He couldn't help but exhale and said softly: "President Ariel, I know that planning is indeed a matter of course.

This is a relatively difficult matter, we are not in a hurry, we have plenty of time. Then, if there is anything you need to know, just ask me and I will tell you everything!"

It's a pity that Ariel is still frowning now, clearly looking like she can't think of anything in a short time.

Seeing this, Round Cheese is truly happy for his "wise" move!

You know, even the president of Mermaid Song is so depressed now, so it should be natural that he can't imagine the plan of the entire central square~~~

Time passed by minute by minute.

Even when it was almost noon, the president was still sitting here, looking at this plan. Perhaps she also looked at some information next to her from time to time, frowning, letting the kindness in her heart and her desires have a fierce confrontation.

.

But judging from the current situation, she felt that the desire in her heart seemed to be about to win out just a little bit...

"President!"

But just when the guild leader decided it was time to use his power to seek a little personal gain for himself, a voice suddenly broke in from the gate.

Ariel looked up and saw Cream rushing in with a nervous look on her face. After seeing Ariel, he immediately wanted to speak, but soon he saw the round cheese next to him, and the words came to his lips.

He immediately took it back and said in a gentler voice——

"President, are you free? There are some small problems here that you may need to solve."

Ariel was stunned for a moment, but then nodded and stood up.

But before she could leave the round cheese, a citizen broke in from the door and immediately shouted loudly after seeing the round cheese here——

"Mayor! Mayor! Mayor! There's a fight... They're fighting!"

The corner of Round Cheese's mouth twitched, and he immediately shouted nervously: "A fight started? Are you guys fighting with the vampires? It's... it's daytime now! Are you taking action?!"

"No! Not with the vampires! Not them!"

The citizen didn't care about Ariel here at all. He rushed to Round Cheese in a panic, took his hand and ran out, saying as he ran -

"Yes... there are other people! Robbers! Thieves! A group of shameless bastards! They... they are blocking the entrance and exit of our village now! They even burned our goods!"

After hearing this, Round Cheese couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because he was too nervous due to the vampire affairs during this period, but now he actually thinks that a mere bandit is nothing. What's more, there is a powerful guild like Mermaid Song behind him.

At that moment, the mayor nodded calmly and said, "Robbers? We haven't encountered robbers in Pelican City for decades, right? Let's go and have a look! President Ariel?"

Now that the round cheese has been said, Ariel can only respond with a smile and nod lightly. After the mayor left the guild gate, Cream over there walked to Ariel with a look on his face.

He said seriously: "He is not an ordinary robber. The problem may be more troublesome than we thought."

Ariel waved her hand: "Let's go and take a look first. Tesla!"

Following Ariel's shout, Tesla, who had been in the research room since the morning, emerged from behind the guild. He moved the convex lens on the bridge of his nose and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Have you had lunch?"

Ariel shook her head and said: "Let's go out now. You and the vice-president stay and watch the guild. If there is an emergency and the cat refuses to help, go upstairs and pull up the sleeping cheese."

"

Although Tesla doesn't know what is happening now, since the president has said so, there is nothing to refuse.

After warning Tesla, Ariel walked out of the guild. William had already parked the element car on the road in front of the guild. After Ariel got on the car, he immediately pedaled down and the element car moved forward quickly.

stand up.

"What happened?" Ariel asked.

The Tesla in front said while driving——

"Two days ago, we sent out several element trucks carrying a large amount of clothing to Lagoon City for delivery, but they didn't come back for a long time. This is very strange, so when another element truck was ready to leave at noon today, I went with it

Follow and want to know what happened."

"But just ten kilometers after driving out of Pelican City, I suddenly saw a roadblock on the road. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the roadblock and drove me and the workers escorting the car away."

"Then, while calling us heretics and servants of the devil, they set fire to our elemental cart, along with all the clothes and fabrics on it."

At that moment, Ariel's originally gentle expression immediately became tense. She couldn't help clenching her hands, and after thinking about it, she said, "What next?"

Ji Lian is a little surprised, because his president can still be so calm now?

At the moment, he continued: "Of course I couldn't watch those thugs burning our cars and clothes, so I wanted to step forward to stop them. But there were too many of them. At a glance, there were at least two hundred people. And

They don't seem to be professionally trained warriors, they are really just ordinary bandits."

"In this case, I can't kill people casually. I can only find a way to kill a few. But in this case, the robbers seemed to be enraged and began to think with pitchforks, axes, sickles, hammers and the like.

They came to kill me. But I had no choice but to escape back with the workers first."

The element car was speeding on the road. Listening to Ji Lian's description, Ariel felt that her heart was beating faster!

This situation was really beyond her expectation. Why did so many robbers suddenly appear? And there were hundreds of them?

More importantly, how did such a large group of bandits pass through the defensive port in Lagoon City? Does that bastard Norris really have no regard for the territory under his rule?

Although her mind was full of doubts, Ariel still kept herself calm. She leaned back on the chair and said slowly: "What's next? Are the robbers coming?"

Ji Lian responded and said, "Yes, when I was escaping, I saw the robbers starting to move towards the city. Just now when Round Cheese ran out, those robbers must have arrived as well."

Ariel was very happy about Ji Lian's calmness, especially when facing attacks from so many thugs, he could still adhere to the principle of "Don't kill people casually" in the Mermaid Song, and tried to deal with the matter in a trivial manner.

But after being happy for a while, things have become more troublesome now. Since I don't know anything now, I can only talk about it after getting over it.

As the elemental car sped along, Ariel soon arrived at the edge of Pelican City.

Since Pelican City expanded from a small town, and there has never been any external threat, there are no walls or anything like this to block it. Now that the situation is urgent, some logs are seen crossing the city.

It's a roadblock on the main road.

Now, almost one or two hundred people have gathered at the city entrance, and everyone looks nervous. And look outside these roadblocks...

At one glance, Ariel felt that her good days seemed to be coming to an end. How could that densely packed crowd be one or two hundred people in size? Even if there were four or five hundred people, it was completely conceivable, okay?

"President! The president is here!"

Duck's ears were very sensitive. He heard the sound of the elemental car coming from behind and quickly turned around, just in time to see Ariel getting out of the car.

Upon hearing the arrival of the president of Mermaid Song, the onlookers immediately separated a path to let the president go to the front.

Ariel nodded lightly to the citizens on both sides and walked forward quickly. She saw that the round cheese next to her had a sad face, probably because this was far from the scale of a gang of robbers.

It has already reached the scale of the enemy's war army.

"Sister President! These people are so annoying!"

Coco stretched out her hand and pointed at the bandits who had gathered outside, waved the magic wand in her hand, and said——

"They burned our clothes and destroyed our cars. They are just a bunch of damn robbers! We should eliminate them immediately!"

Margaux quickly suppressed the necromancer who was waving his wand excitedly, and smiled at Ariel. But then, she also put on a look of embarrassment and said: "President, I am not the best at this kind of battle.

I haven’t seen it, how should I deal with it?”

Ariel glanced over and saw that Brad was also holding a piece of wood as a roadblock, looking at her helplessly.

Seeing this, Ariel patted the round cheese next to her and said, "Hey, you are the mayor, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Round Cheese seemed a little nervous. He glanced at the dark crowd outside. Just when he was about to speak, he quickly covered his mouth and said helplessly: "President... President! Just don't

What a joke! I have never seen so many robbers before! This is too scary, really scary! Should we...should we immediately ask Viscount Norris to send troops to destroy them? "

Ariel glanced at the weapons in the hands of the robbers.

Indeed, many people hold knives in their hands. However, these knives do not have any standard and come in various specifications. In addition, agricultural tools such as pitchforks, rakes, sickles, and hoes also look like

Everything you need.

The most important thing is that the robbers looked at the city not as if they were ready to come in and rob, but rather as if they had some kind of deep hatred.

Ariel thought for a moment and immediately said: "Are there any weapons in the city?"

Round Cheese was stunned: "Martial...weapon? What weapon?"

Ariel waved her hand and became a little anxious: "Any weapon! Just like the ones they hold in their hands, pitchforks, kitchen knives, sickles, hammers, etc., it's all fine! Find it and distribute it to everyone."
