I am the former civilized hero.

Seeing the change in Ryan's expression, Alicia immediately jumped over and held his hand: "Actually, I called you here because I have something serious to say."

"Can you still do something important?"

"Hmph, if you insult me ​​like that, I'll really be angry!" Alicia's face turned into a puffy one, and she once again dragged Ryan into the room without saying anything.

As soon as he stepped in, Ryan knew whose room this was. The walls were painted lavender, and the double bed in the middle was covered with a pink gauze bed curtain. One side of the wall was made into a large wardrobe with all kinds of clothes and hats hanging inside.

It was very cozy, like a girl's dream boudoir. There was a sewing machine next to the dressing table and a half-finished dress.

"How's it going, isn't it a great room?"

"It's great. I can see you put a lot of thought into it." Ryan walked around the room and pointed at the bed: "But what is this Eden pillow?"

"It's boring to sleep alone. Are you jealous?"

"No, could you please clean up the room?" Ryan glanced over inconspicuously, his eyes like a computer.

Two pairs of white stockings and one pair of black stockings. Judging from the smell, they must have been worn recently. The corner of the clothes exposed under the quilt, is that underwear? On the left side of the sofa, there is also a bra that has been worn. Data collection, size confirmation, it is definitely Alicia's.

"I didn't know you were coming today, it's okay." Alicia didn't know Ryan's eyes were so sharp, so she wasn't shy and took out a notebook from the drawer of the dressing table.

"Come and have a look, this is my latest plan."

"Oh." Ryan felt that it was not very gentlemanly to continue reading, so he turned around decisively. Just when Alicia was turning the page, he suddenly reached out and held it down.

"Hey, what does this say?"

On it was a form with things like "Celebrating a new house", "Birthday party", "Beach trip", "Hot spring snow viewing" and so on written on it.

Before he could see clearly, Alicia had already turned over.

"Hey, this is just my little wish list."

“Why is it all about playing?”

"You and Mei will take care of the battles, and leave the team-building work to me. This is called clear division of labor." Alicia patted her chest gently, as if to say, "Leave it to me." She now has the conditions and time to fulfill her wish.

"Why don't you take a look at my idea first? Do you think there is any problem?"

She turned to the last page, and Ryan couldn't help but crane his neck to look. He saw that the notebook was filled with densely written words, but the title was simple.

"The Fire Chasing Thirteen Heroes?"

Ryan read it out loud, and suddenly felt a little dazed. How did he go around in circles and end up back to the starting point?

Chapter 284: Am I confessing my love to Alicia?

Now Eden, Grayshu and Su haven't arrived yet, how come there are Thirteen Heroes again? And are you too obsessed with the number 'thirteen'?

It's no wonder Ryan was confused. Alicia's idea was too coincidental and it couldn't be matched to the thirteen Herrschers. Could it be that it corresponded to the thirteen Herrschers?

It’s a good thing there was an extra word "team". He took a closer look and his expression became even weirder.

Alicia wasn't some whimperer who came up with some 'genius' ideas like usual. After careful thinking, she found that there was some truth to them.

It even coincides with Ryan's plan, which is to concentrate humanity's high-end combat power as a mobile force to deal with various threats.

According to her idea, the high-end combat force of the Fire Moth should be divided into thirteen teams, each team should be equipped with at least one upper-level fusion warrior, and then assemble a number of fusion warriors to form a strategic-level mobile force.

'It's a bit like combining the Chrysalis with the Sword of Punishment.'

According to the previous practice of the Fire Moths, they used the "branch" as the basic tactical unit, and would have a fixed upper-level fusion warrior and a Sword of Punishment team assigned to them. In case of emergency, they would draw support from other branches, but the organization was not subordinate to each other.

The advantage of this is that each branch can be responsible for a direction independently, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Just like what happened to the Australian branch, when they encountered the Seventh Herrscher, who possessed overwhelming power, even the upper-level fusion warriors could not hold out until the reinforcements arrived. When the large force arrived, they could only collect the bodies, thus losing a precious force in vain.

Ryan knew the fallen warrior. In terms of strength, he was not much worse than Ying, but he was facing a mutated and enhanced version of the Herrscher of Fire.

So Mei is already reforming, and the first step is to shrink the defense, try to pile up troops in every direction, and prepare to rebuild the mobile forces.

"If we gather all the high-end combat forces together, it will certainly weaken the local defense force, but it doesn't have to be placed in the headquarters. For example, I can station two teams in key areas and mobilize the entire team in case of emergency."

There are many advantages to a solidified team structure. The first is that each team can develop a sense of tacit understanding, and develop the most reasonable tactics based on the captain's abilities and strengths.

Secondly, it is easy to mobilize, and a whole team can be deployed to attack.

Ryan immediately remembered an abandoned draft in the central database. That plan was similar to Alicia's, but the reason for its abandonment was also very simple:

The biggest flaw of this tactic is the hilltop. If a team betrays the Fire Chaser Moth, humanity will lose one-third of its combat power. If three teams join forces, the people from the Fire Chaser Council will be able to sleep. It’s weird to get it.

But then again, this defect is meaningless to Ryan. Not to mention the absolute suppression of strength, it can allow Ryan's small hill to be used to the limit to control those middle and lower-level forces who have doubts.

The only complaint is that these thirteen teams reminded him of another work. What is this? The Thirteenth Guardian Squad?

And then the regular army will become another system, the Astartes Chapter? ?

"What a genius idea! I can't believe you came up with it."

"Ahem, if you're complimenting someone, you can take back the second half of your sentence." Alicia complained first, then puffed out her chest: "So when I'm serious, I'm also very powerful, don't underestimate me."

"I hope you're still serious, but why are you so mad at '13'?"

"I don't understand. How about you change it to 12 or 14?"

Seeing that Alicia looked puzzled, Ryan was sure that the number was just a coincidence and closed the notebook for her.

"The specific organization will depend on the list, but I accept the idea. I'll make a decision after discussing it with Mei. We can't make decisions on such important matters on a whim."

"Okay, then how about I design the team uniform and team motto?" Alicia said excitedly, and hugged Ryan's hand, swinging it back and forth. The soft touch was irresistible.

But Ryan had to refuse, otherwise the Fire Moths would become a circus. A hardcore person like him couldn't stand those fancy decorations.

"Let's discuss it later. Besides, Mei is in charge of such trivial matters. Don't bother me." Ryan quickly pulled his hand away. He was afraid that if he felt it for a while, he would change his mind. "You have helped a lot today. As a reward, this villa will be handed over to you for management. You can set all the rules. How about it?"

Ryan seemed to be rewarding her, but in fact he was passing the buck. As far as "family" was concerned, no one was more suitable to be the host than Alicia.

Being selfless, being enthusiastic towards everyone, and caring about everyone, even Ryan himself cannot do these two things.

"Okay, but there's no need for any rules at home. Everyone can do whatever they want." Alicia clapped her hands, then suddenly knocked her head, "Oops, I forgot something important!"

"What's the matter?" Ryan, who was about to go to eat, turned around.

"Remember what I promised you when Aponya had surgery?"

Ryan had a good memory. Even though his thoughts were in disarray at the time, he still remembered: "Oh, you mean if the result is good, can you fulfill one of my requests?"

"Yes, there can't be a better result than the current one. Not only did you win a great victory, but I also gained a lot." With a smile on her face, Alicia walked over gently with her hands behind her back.

She felt that she had gained more than Ryan, and that she had fulfilled her childhood dream.

Build a big house, live with your friends, enjoy the quiet, peaceful and happy time, and then write them into fairy tales.

"I'm a man of my words. I can satisfy any request you make."

Ryan was a little dazed, as if he had never thought about this question at all. He just subconsciously glanced at the girl in front of him.

She has a pretty face, pointed ears, clear and lively blue eyes, a plump figure, and her blue and white dress has drooping collar, revealing her full chest, which becomes more prominent due to gravity.

The hem of her skirt was lifted up by her raised hips, and her two straight long white silk legs were slightly bent at the knees.

The scent of sunshine, as beautiful as flowers, moved Ryan's heart, but he didn't think too much, and followed his instinct and said, "How about a hug and a word?"

"These are two requests. Okay, I promise you."

Alicia hesitated for a moment, and before Ryan could prepare himself mentally, she pounced on him.

Ryan's eyes widened slightly, and before he could prepare himself mentally, he felt a body as soft as water and as hot as fire throwing itself into his arms, and a pair of hands as delicate as silk hugging his neck.

He was unable to describe this feeling. He felt that the descriptions of "beauty in one's arms" in literary works became pale and powerless.

There is a spring garden-like scent in the nasal cavity, which far exceeds all human perfume products. A sense of compression is felt in the chest, making breathing cautious, and the visual impact is even more intense.

Because of his height, Ryan lowered his head slightly and saw that beautiful face was only a few inches away from him. There was a faint blush on her fair face. It was surprising that she pounced on him so fiercely, but now she was shy.

"This is my first time hugging a boy. If I'm not decisive, you might change your request. So I can only attack by surprise?" Alicia seemed to read Ryan's doubts. She answered softly, her face turning even redder.

"It's my honor." Ryan smiled like a gentleman, slowly raised his hands and hugged the smooth back. When he saw those pure eyes, he calmed down from his simple instinct.

Alicia is extremely charming and innocent. People can't bear to desecrate her, but at the same time, they can't bear to let go of her.

The back of the dress was hollowed out, and when Ryan put his palm on it, Alicia's body tensed up, but she didn't feel any resistance, and then relaxed slightly.

She lowered her head and didn't look at Ryan again. It was as if the two of them had pressed the pause button. There was no other movement after the hug. It was more like they were getting familiar with this strange feeling, engraving this strange touch deep in their minds, and even Ryan's brain began to revolve.

Changkong City, the first meeting in a street garden. Canghai City, a pink fairy descended from the sky after a fatal blow. Britain, a misunderstanding after a concert...

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have known Alicia for a long time, and there was no sense of abruptness at all.

I changed the world beyond all recognition in exchange for this hug, how can I not hug it well?

Seeing no response for a long time, Alysia twisted her body and whispered, "It's time to eat, Ryan, if you have something to say, just say it. It's not good to keep Ying and the others waiting for too long."

Yes, I have one more request.

Ryan then remembered that he still had things to do, but he was so busy reminiscing that he didn't know what to say.

You must live? Life and death are not in Alicia's hands.

Will you fall in love with me? What if you are given the card of being a nice guy?

Jingle Bell--

The dinner bell rang, and there were footsteps coming up the stairs. There was no time to think about it, Ryan's eyes rolled.

"Ellie, I hope that one day I can transcend the concept of 'human'."

Huh? Ryan, are you planning to stop being a human?

Alicia looked up blankly, but before she could ask, Ryan had already let go of her hand and took a half step back. The next moment, gray-blue hair appeared at the door, and a beautiful girl poked her head in.

"Ellie, Brother, what are you two doing?"

Hua raised his eyebrows and saw that the two were standing face to face. Alicia's face was still slightly red, and his heart sank subconsciously.

The two of them, no, no way!

That was a close call. No, why am I so afraid of being caught?

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief at first, then felt a little strange. Now thinking back, did he really confess his feelings?

However, he didn't have time to think about it. He turned around, still with an indifferent expression: "Is dinner ready?"

"Well, Sister Ying asked me to come up and call you."

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Alicia's suggestion just now is very useful. Let's discuss it while we eat."

So it was a suggestion. With Ai Li's thick skin, what kind of shameless suggestion could make her face blush?
