Finally, as if making a decision, he raised his head: "Everyone, at this point, there's no other way but to continue down this wrong path!"
"We can't just let it go, so for now we can only follow in that guy's footsteps."
"This war...it's unavoidable!"
Lucy: "I don't think it's too serious, right? After all, didn't the Magic Council discover that Natsu was behind it?"
Makarov shook his head: "You underestimate the Council of Think Tanks. This picture practically has Natsu's name engraved on it."
[“How could they not know? Unless they're pretending.”] 5.6
At this point, Makarov's expression suddenly stiffened.
"Pretending to be clueless?"
Makarov's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
He kept murmuring this word.
The more I think about it, the more possibilities seem to emerge.
After a long pause, he suddenly raised his head.
"So that's how it is... so those guys weren't as principled as I thought!"
Thinking about this, everything became clear, and Makarov couldn't help but give a wry smile.
"So, Natsu had been thinking about this all along, which is why he acted so recklessly..."
Shaking his head, Makarov looked at the newspaper handed back and muttered, "Indeed, I'm getting old. I don't have the sharpness of young people anymore..."
Just then, a magical carrier pigeon flew into the Fairy Tail guild.
[He delivered a letter to Makarov.]
Open the letter.
I skimmed through it.
Makarov slightly raised his head, his expression grave.
"What happened?" Lisanna asked.
"A letter from the Magic Council," Makarov said.
Then, he spoke with a hint of disbelief.
"That old man Joseph... sued for peace?"
Chapter 227 Gajeel: Hold off Black Natsu for a minute? You might as well just let me die!
[Carlo City.]
The peaceful city was shattered by a violent explosion.
Flames shot straight into the sky.
The impact, like a raging storm, spread wildly in all directions.
Clearly, yet another Spectre branch has been easily wiped out.
All of the hundreds of people in the entire branch perished here.
The flames burned, and a playful flickering flame landed on a corpse, only to be immediately extinguished by the blood-soaked clothes.
Harpy silently watched this scene, then folded the Spectre banner in his hand and placed it in his backpack.
"Including all the phantoms' properties along the way, we've already destroyed twelve."
Harpy spoke up.
"Twelve locations? Looks like we're moving pretty fast."
[Black Natsu in front smiled.]
Yes, that's already considered quite fast.
From last night until now, the person and the cat have been almost constantly engaged in destruction and killing.
[He single-handedly eradicated all the Phantom Lord branches in several nearby towns, as well as all the businesses he himself ran as a Phantom Lord.]
As a result, the number of people slaughtered has reached nearly a thousand.
The piled-up corpses could even reach the height of a small mountain.
I stretched my shoulders.
Henatsu continued, "How long until the next Phantom Lord branch?"
After studying the map for a while, Harpy said, "The next one will take us across three towns."
"After all, we've already wiped out all the wraiths in the area."
"Three towns?"
"It takes so long to get here."
[Henazu complained somewhat.]
20. [Harpy helplessly shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. Even if we get there as fast as we can, it'll be dark by then. So, are we still going to continue today?"]
[“Hmm…”]
[Honatsu rubbed his chin, just as he was about to say something.]
[His expression paused slightly.]
"Perhaps we don't need to. Those guys seem to be getting restless."
[Henazu said.]
"Huh? Did you notice something?"
Harpy immediately understood.
"Get out of the way, Happy."
【"clear!"】
【at the same time.】
[High on a mountain not far from this Phantom's location.]
A group of four people appeared here.
"Right down there? It's truly horrific... even from here you can see thick smoke rising." Usagi-maru shook his head, observing the Ghostly branch below.
[He asked aloud, "So, what should we do now?"]
"We can't afford to be careless against enemies of that caliber, so a surprise attack would be the most effective strategy," Thor said.
"My magic can penetrate the earth, allowing me to launch a surprise attack on that guy from the ground."
"Waaah... So sad... So sad..." Aria's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Seriously, at a time like this, can't you say something useful?" Gajeel couldn't help but speak up.
"You wouldn't understand... how heartbreaking it is to witness the fall of something powerful." Aria shook her head.
"The key to achieving this is to give me a chance!"
"An opportunity to lower that guy's guard!"
"I need you to stall that guy for one minute."
[Aria was facing Gajeel as she said this.]
Therefore, even though Aria's eyes were covered by bandages, Gajeel could still sense that this guy was staring at him.
In an instant! Gajeel's eyes widened.
Pointing incredulously at himself: "Me??"
"You mean, I need to hold that guy off for a minute??"
Aria nodded.
[Gajeel instantly flew into a rage!]
"You bastard, are you kidding me?!"
"You might as well just send me to my death. Trying to hold that guy off for even a minute? That's impossible!!!"
"Hey, hey, hey... Gajeel, you don't need to overreact like that..."
Seeing Gajeel suddenly erupt in anger, Usamaru quickly stepped forward to mediate.
"No way! What were you thinking, making me hold that guy off for a minute by myself?!"
"Do you know what that guy can do in one minute? He could kill me ten times over, ten times!!!"
Gajeel remained agitated.
[To the side, both Thor and Aria frowned deeply.]
"Is it that serious, Gajeel?"
