Chapter 571 [Salamandra]’s situation
Bai Yaksha winked at his subordinates, and Sandora also signaled his companions to leave, leaving only Mandela. After everyone else retreated, [NoName] had the largest number of members present.
Seeing the others leaving, Sandora's serious expression was immediately replaced. She ran down from the throne and rushed in front of Ren, showing a cute smile that was consistent with her age.
"Jen, long time no see! I heard that your community was attacked, which made me worried! It's great to see that you are okay!"
"Thank you. You look in good spirits too, that's great."
Ren responded with a smile as well, causing Sandora to laugh as cutely as silver bells, and she smiled even more shyly.
"After I heard that you were attacked by the Demon King, I actually wanted to see you immediately, but because of my father's sudden illness and the inheritance ceremony, I have been unable to leave."
"There's nothing we can do about it, but I really didn't expect you, Shandora, to become the class ruler——"
"That's enough, you nameless brat!"
Just as the two were having a harmonious conversation, Mandela finally spoke unbearably and snorted: "Shandora is already the ruler of the North District! Even if it happened just now, she is not The reason why you called him by his first name in such a rude and disrespectful manner, please be careful with it! [NoName]!”
Such speech instantly brought the atmosphere of the scene to a freezing point, Ren's face became a little ugly, Sandora was also dissatisfied: "Brother Mandela! They were [Salamandra's] allies in the past. It was obviously us who turned our backs without permission. Covenant, still showing that attitude is against our etiquette!"
"Compared with etiquette, reputation is more important! It's because you always say such things that you are looked down upon by the people around you..."
"That's enough, Mandela. I'm not here to listen to you guys arguing."
Bai Yaksha dissuaded her indifferently, but only let Mandela point the finger at her, and said angrily: "Hmph! Let's not mention whether the [Devil King's Attack] is true or false, but he actually plans to let these guys come. Protecting Sandora is not only meddling, but also an insult to us!"
"Even if you are also a class ruler, you should know how to restrain yourself from overstepping your authority!"
"That's enough, Brother Mandela!"
Sandra, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally opened her mouth to reprimand Mandela, and everyone in [NoName] finally understood that this guy named Mandela seemed to be quite dissatisfied with their existence.
but--
"I also agree with that fiery man's point of view. Didn't we agree that we would defeat the Demon King and not be his bodyguards?"
Turning back to Izayoi, he was dissatisfied and said:
"It's not good to go back on your word, Shiroyasha!"
"You brat, don't try to exploit the situation here and fish in troubled waters!"
Hearing this, Bai Yaksha glared at him angrily and said:
"I said you can take action in the worst case scenario, but I didn't say I won't let you protect Sandora."
Seeing that it was impossible to fish in troubled waters, Izayoi sighed and retreated in boredom.
Then, Bai Yasha looked at Mandela, his expression became slightly serious and said:
"[NoName] is one of the few communities that I can trust and know the roots of. What's more, you were allies before, and Sandora and Ren also knew each other." Familiar with each other, letting them stay with Shandora is the best choice."
"As for their strength, I have told you some cases before, and there is no need to question it."
"As for the reputation you care about most... it's the commission I initiated to [NoName]. If you have any problems, just blame me, such as the so-called ultra vires behavior... Do you still have any problems?"
Having said this, Bai Yaksha's tone paused for a moment, and then he pointedly said:
"Finally, I hope you will think carefully about why I did this."
"Uh...!"
After hearing Bai Yaksha's last words, Mandela's face instantly became very ugly, but he was speechless. The aggressive aura gradually dissipated and he became a little depressed.
"...I understand." After a moment of silence, Mandela dropped these words and retreated behind Shandora again, choosing to compromise.
I originally thought there would be a fight, but just as I was eager to return to Izayoi, I suddenly felt a little bored when I saw this scene.
"Brother Mandela..."
Seeing this, Shandora glanced at him with some worry, then brought the topic back on track and smiled at everyone:
"Then, let's discuss how to deal with the demon king's attack."
…
…
Since the situation of the Demon King is unknown, all they can discuss is to take precautions as much as possible. It is best to prevent the Demon King from taking action during the festival. As for the rest, they can only do their best and listen to fate.
The entire meeting lasted for about three hours. By the time they were about to leave, the moon was already high in the night sky.
Fortunately, during the meeting, Shandora thoughtfully ordered someone to bring dinner, so that they would not go home hungry during the meeting.
Although Mandela acted like a arrogant villain in the beginning, during the meeting, he seemed to have instantly forgotten their previous conflicts, actively discussed the issues, and put forward many useful suggestions.
Even [NoName], who was despised for some reason, had to admit that the other party was indeed a capable person, at least a capable villain.
However, as soon as the meeting ended, the other party showed his previous arrogance again, as if he didn't want to see everyone in [NoName], and hurriedly left the meeting room with Sandora.
When passing by them, Shandora nodded apologetically to them.
Watching the two disappear, Fujimaru Ritsuka curiously asked Shiroyasha: "What's going on with [Salamandra]? It seems very complicated."
"Well, that's about right."
Bai Yasha smiled bitterly and explained.
The old leader of [Salamandra] has three children in total, namely the eldest daughter Sarah Teldorek, the second son Mandela Teldorek, and the youngest daughter Sandora Teldorek.
The eldest daughter Sarah is outstanding in terms of ability and conduct. She can be said to be the perfect heir. Originally, the other party should inherit the community and become the new leader and class ruler.
But unfortunately, for various reasons that she didn't quite understand, the other party voluntarily left the community and left the North District. It is equivalent to betraying [Salamandra].
As a result, the only heirs left were the second son Mandela and the youngest daughter Sandra.
Mandela's ability is actually very good, and he also has the qualities to manage the community and the North District. However, unfortunately, due to his poor qualifications, his strength cannot convince the public.
In the end, Shandora, who was extremely talented but still young, could only succeed to the position of leader.
In addition, due to a war a hundred years ago, [Salamandra]'s vitality was severely damaged, and the community even dropped from four digits to five digits, and it has not yet returned to its peak.
If you want to use an idiom to describe today's [Salamandra], it would be a lack of success.
It was even because there was no supportive strong person in the community that Bai Yaksha entrusted [NoName] to protect Sandora's safety.
This was also the meaning of the last words she said to Mandela. It was precisely because the other party understood this that his face became ugly and he had to compromise.
Having said this, Bai Yaksha couldn't help but sigh and said:
"As long as the old leader can persist for a few more years, and when Sandora grows up, the community's situation will not be as embarrassing as it is now. It's a pity..."
