"Dong!!"

Rhodes pushed open the door and walked into the conference hall. He stood there, looking at the people sitting in the circular conference hall, where not only their subordinates, but also representatives from the church, elves, and even chambers of commerce. At this moment, they were all nervous and surprised at the young lord in front of them. No one knew why Rhodes would gather them together at the middle of the night. Not only them, but even the others who were Rhodes' subordinates, they were confused at this moment. Only Canary, Little Bubble Gum, Qi Lian and Bilan Heart were calm at this time. As Rhodes' summoners and subordinates, they naturally had learned the news that Rhodes had received through the system.

Rhode could feel the doubts and curiosity of those people, but now he was not feeling like explaining. He walked straight to the center of the hall, then turned around and looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"I know everyone is wondering why I would gather you all at this time, but because time is tight, I won't talk nonsense here, just talk about the key points."

Speaking of this, Rhode paused for a moment. He glanced at everyone, gave them some time to prepare, and then spoke.

"I just got the news that the Immortal Army has crossed the line and marched towards the Fortress of the Land of Atonement under the protection of the Dark Dragon Soul, a total of 50,000."

"boom!"

Hearing this, the people who were already a little confused were suddenly in anger. Many people jumped up and looked at each other. They were dizzy by the information that Rhodes suddenly threw out, and they didn't know what to say. For a moment, everyone was talking, even Lijie and Marlene were pale and shocked at this time. They had discussed with Rhodes the possibility of sending troops to the Dragon Kingdom of the Dark Night, but they thought that the Kingdom of the Night should not launch an attack so quickly. But they didn't expect that reality slapped them so quickly. This left them speechless.

"Quiet, I hope you are quiet."

Rhode's cold voice passed through the noise of the hall. At the same time, an invisible cold chill quickly enveloped the hall, causing the originally chaotic people to close their mouths. They turned around at the same time. Looking at the young lord in front of them, it was not until this time that many people felt how safe Rhode's expressionless face was. In the past, they always complained that this lord was not good at socializing and showed everyone's face, but now, seeing Rhode's expression as usual, those who were panicked because of obtaining the news of the attack of the undead were much more at ease. Although they didn't know what the young lord had plans, at least it seemed. The lord was already confident about it.

"I think you all know what this means. Now the Immortal Army is only thirty minutes away from the fortress, and we must prepare everything within these thirty minutes."

Speaking of this, Rhodes turned his head and began to name one by one.

"Senior sister, immediately lead all soldiers to prepare for the first-level battle. Be sure to defend before the Immortal Legion arrives, close the gate, pull up the suspension bridge, prepare all the alchemy equipment and weapons. Labis. This is your responsibility, and I will equip everyone in the shortest time."

"Okay, sir."

Hearing Rhode's order, Labis immediately stood up and answered in a nervous and trembling voice. Bilan's heart was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. Then he yawned and seemed to have not woken up this time. After receiving the answers from both of them, Rhode immediately turned around and looked at the others without any hesitation.

"Joey, from now on, the guild stronghold has been completely banned and anyone is prohibited from going out. I want you to lead your subordinates to patrol everywhere in case of an accident. John, I ask you to gather the cavalry regiments as quickly as possible to maintain order in the city and ensure that there is no chaos. In this regard, Agave and her sea elves will help. If anyone dares to take advantage of the situation or create chaos, kill you without mercy! At the same time, I ask you to send a team of people out of the fortress to gather the residents of the village below and prepare them for evacuation."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

"Received, boss."

Faced with Rhode's order, John hurriedly responded, and Joey, who was always smiling, looked serious and restrained his expression and nodded seriously. However, Rhode did not pay attention to their expressions. As he said, time is always fighting every second, and he has no time or mood to say anything more. Even Rhode felt that giving orders was a waste of time. It would be great if he could just click the mouse like in the game...

"Anne, you are responsible for staying in the stronghold and protecting Christie and others. I will specially direct and dispatch a team to assist. Mr. Walker, I ask you to send an emergency contact to Golden City and Deep Rock City immediately, and make sure to let them know about our situation as soon as possible."

"No problem, boy."

"Leave it to Annie, leader! Annie will definitely protect everyone!"

Hearing this, Old Walker first drank a sip of wine, then nodded vigorously, while Annie jumped up excitedly and waved the golden shield in her hand vigorously. The people around him were so scared that they couldn't help but shrink their heads, fearing that they would die before the battle began.

"Mafa, Thor, you are still directly commanded by me as before, as did Lijie and Marlene. You must gather people immediately and make everything ready to wait for me on the city wall. Pay attention, completely obey my orders and do not act without authorization. I will notify you as soon as possible what to do."

After giving orders to his subordinates quickly, Rhode turned around and looked at the other people sitting on the other side. They were not their subordinates, but more representatives of the various forces in the fortress. However, now they are all companions riding on the same boat.

"I think you should be very clear about the current situation. The 50,000 undead army is not here for tea. And I think you are also very clear about how far our place of sin is from other places. In this fortress, I still have enough confidence to protect your personal safety, but if you leave the fortress, I cannot guarantee your life or death, and I can only rely on you."

Speaking of this, Rhode frowned slightly, and then he looked at the moon elf girl who had been silent on the other side.

"Miss Corinna, I hope to obtain assistance from you and the church. Now the immortal army is in danger. It is not enough to rely on our personnel alone. I hope to obtain all assistance. Although it is not my intention to involve your country, I can only do this now."

“……………………………”

Unlike others, Corinna did not respond immediately, no wonder she represented the Kingdom of France and the Church, not the Muen people. If she took action here, once she was discovered, it would be very likely that the Kingdom of France would also be involved in the war. Because it was not easy to ask Corinna to respond, she might even need to negotiate with the Kingdom of France before she could answer. However, this was irrelevant to Rhode. He did not even wait for Corinna's answer, but turned around. Now the time is urgent, and he did not have any spare time to wait for Corinna to think before making a decision. Anyway, this legendary strongman is in his own territory, and he has the means to let the other party "voluntarily" join the war.

Therefore, even though Corinna did not answer immediately, Rhode didn't care. He just turned his head and looked at everyone, and then gave the order with a serious expression.

"Get to act."

The dark night enveloped everything.

Rhodes stood on the tall city wall, looking ahead, where everything was covered by darkness and wind and snow. But this was not the case in Rhodes' eyes. In fact, the reason why he was able to learn that the invasion of the Dragon Kingdom of Dark Night was entirely due to the role of the system. The moment the army of the Dragon Kingdom of Dark Night entered Rhodes' sphere of influence, Rhodes received a system prompt. This made him react in time. At this moment, Rhodes was standing on the wall, looking at the darkness and shadows ahead.

Behind him, the fortress began to run quickly like a giant awakened from the sleeping sleep. Since Rhode had been training in a targeted manner, the soldiers did not react much. They were well-trained and prepared everything. They stood on the city wall and looked into the distance with a serious expression. On the tower, the archers were ready, and they pointed straight ahead with longbows and sharp arrows. The magic crossbow changed direction and aimed at the dark border.

“Hu……………………………………………………”

Standing at the top of the city wall, Rhode exhaled gently, and then inhaled again. He felt his body trembling unconsciously, and even his right hand was swaying slightly at this moment. It was a feeling of tension, stimulation, expectation and fear flowing through his body like melting snow. He had been preparing for so long and prepared for everything, for the moment now, for the moment before him, the Immortal Legion is coming, and can he change all the fate as he wished?

This is the beginning.

“Sand…sand…sand…sand…sand…sand….”

A faint sound gradually sounded under the whistling wind and snow.

At first glance, it sounds like a wave rushing down the coast, but as long as you look forward, you will see a fundamental difference.

Rhode looked up and looked ahead. His eyes could not penetrate the darkness, but he knew what was behind the darkness.

Thousands of skeletons moved forward silently. Their movements were neat and precise, just like robots controlled by computers. They were fearless. They silently and firmly harvested all the lives they met in front of them. Behind them are the Death Knight, the Vampire and the Necromancer.

Lightning raid.

Thinking of this, Rhode's mouth slightly raised, and a few smiles appeared. The essence of the surprise attack was to attack him unexpectedly, which was almost the same as Rhode's own tactic of stabbing in the back. So, for himself, how could he allow himself to be attacked by others?

That's now.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and soon a shining golden light appeared in front of him, and then a line of system prompted him to appear in front of Rhodes.

【Activate the Saint Girl’s Portrait】

Silver and holy light roared loudly at that moment and soared into the sky.

The crystal holy girl standing in the center of the square burst out in this moment a light that was comparable to the sun. A dazzling white light column rose into the sky, tearing apart the sky and illuminating everything around her. When she arrived in the sky, the light column rising into the sky immediately began to spread in all directions, forming a sacred barrier, covering the entire fortress. The originally howling blizzard began to weaken, the clouds gradually faded, and the shadow covering the earth also retreated like a tide, revealing everything covered below.

Accompanied by the silver-white light, the undead army, who were originally hiding in the dark, were immediately exposed to this sacred light. Under the illumination of the holy light, people could even see the soul fire burning in their eyes and the sword shining with cold light. Faced with this sudden change, the undead army's actions seemed to have stagnated. Obviously, they had not expected that they would be discovered.

very good.

Rhodes stood on the city wall, looking down at the Immortal Legion below, and they were almost ready to launch a raid, but now that the offense and defense are reversed, since they have come here, they will not think about going back.

Rhode raised his right hand and then waved forward with force.

"Take it!" (To be continued...)
