Chapter 43 Darkness Returns (XII)
First of all, Leo's identity. Before completely subduing this troublesome dark elf, Rhode did not have much thought, because it was not strange to have dark elf follow the Immortal Army. But when Leo introduced his origin, he still scared Rhode. She was actually the captain of an assassination team directly under Barond. Not everyone can take this assassination team, and it was precisely because of this identity that Rhode immediately had a premonition that he might be able to obtain more information than he expected.
And it turns out that way. From Leo, Rhode learned a lot of things that scared him.
First of all, it is about Lio's own question. For the dark elves, Rhode learned that she was the captain of the first unit of the "Night Blade" under Barond, who was responsible for erasing and destroying those who tried to provoke Barond's majesty. Simply put, it was the assassination force. If Barond was to be described as a giant, then Lio and her subordinates were just the presence of one of the knuckles on the toes of the giant. The reason why she came here made Rhode completely speechless. He originally thought that Leo came to investigate the military preparations for the fortress according to Curond's orders. After all, there was a destruction barrier, and he wiped out several of his scouts. It was not a big problem to use Dark elves to spy on another taste. Moreover, most of the dark elves were good at spying on intelligence, which was a matter of course.
But Leo's answer surprised Rhodes because these dark elves were actually coming to trouble him, and the reason was very simple. Barond knew the culprit of the complete elimination of the intelligence network of Night Kingdom in Moon's Duke by destroying his elite squad and losing the list of bones. It was also because of this that it sent Leo to give Rhodes a lesson that he would never forget.
When he heard Leo's report, Rhode's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he cursed deeply in his heart. Those damn bones were really revenge. It was the midsummer festival that he killed the unlucky death knights of "Vulture". It was already late winter. Vultures were not considered a powerful confidant under Baronder. Do you need to remember such a little bit of a broken thing so clearly? However, when Rhode learned from Leo that the news of his killing of vultures was Di, he immediately changed his goal and began to curse the shameless blood-sucking species of grace and revenge. He would definitely not die well. Wait until someone slept one day. Your wife saw where you cry.
It has to be admitted that Barund's move is indeed cruel, because Leo originally planned to use the power of the dark elves to sneak into the fortress and then investigate the situation of Rhode and the people around him. If they can, then they will find an opportunity to kill Rhode. If Rhode's strength exceeds their imagination, then these dark elves will aim at the people around Rhode and assassinate those people with high powers in order to put the fortress into chaos. Or simply use the time when Curund led the undead army to attack the fortress, and then fished for troubled waters.
Hearing Leo's story, Rhodes had no expression on the surface, but he was cold inside. The holy soul was on it, fortunately he discovered this group of damn dark elves early, and fortunately Rhodes had a construction system. Otherwise, it would be too sad if these dark elves were really sneaking into the fortress and then taking the opportunity to stab him in the back. Rhodes was good at stabbing others in the back, but he would never accept that he was stabbed by others in the back. And Rhodes was very clear about it, if Leo really planned to do this, then
Her chances of success are very high. The dark elves have always been specializing in assassination. Leo is a good player. Not to mention anything else, just from the level point of view, Leo crushed Marlene, Lige, Serena and others. Except Anne, almost no one can block Leo's assassination. Not to mention that they are all spellcasters, spellcasters are weak in close proximity, and they will not prepare too many protective spells on weekdays. If Leo sneaks in and stabs them while they are sleeping, then everything will be done.
Not to mention them, if Labis and Christie were like this, it would be even more dangerous. Although the former is known as the last royal family of the Belhems clan, the alchemy elves, it would be a second one without a stab. Not to mention the latter, Christie is weak. Although Lydia gave her a magical decoration that can protect the girl from all kinds of illnesses, it is useless for Christie's physique improvement. Nowadays, girls are still unable to do heavy labor, and even those ordinary exercises will sweat and be weak over time. If a girl like this is targeted by a dark elves, it is almost like a lion staring at the little sheep that just came out of her mother's belly, and there is no possibility of escape by chance.
Although to be on the safe side, Rhode asked Joey to arrange many of his subordinates to secretly protect others. In front of the real stealth master, Joey's little street thieves' methods were not enough to see.
Maybe I need to exercise those little bastards well.
Looking at Lio in front of him, Rhode couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't need a guard of dark elves around him, because strictly speaking, Lio's strength is not as good as Rhodes. Moreover, as a player, Rhodes is much more skilled in this trick than Dark elves. However, he can introduce Lio to Joey and the others, so that the assassin among the dark elves can teach those gangsters what is the real assassination. Of course, the natural traits of the dark elves cannot be taught, but the assassination skills trained with countless lives and blood and sweat can be learned through words and deeds.
Well, I just hope that those kids don't feel too miserable.
Deep in my heart, I secretly silenced for less than a second of Joey's upcoming tragic fate, and Rhode quickly turned back on his thoughts, because the most important question was the origin of the Dark Night Dragon.
Regarding this issue, after Rhode returned from investigating, he asked Sarah, but unfortunately, Sarah was just a humble corpse slave. As Colund's personal slave, she was naturally not qualified to attend the military meeting. As the commander of the first army, Colund naturally would not speak nonsense in front of her servants, so Sarah didn't even know that a Dark Night Along joined the Immortal Army. But Leo was different. As a direct subordinate of Barond, she was still a military general. She was naturally qualified to attend the military meeting and learn about the deployment and secrets.
But even so, when Rod and others heard the "truth" told from Leo's mouth, they still couldn't suppress their surprise.
"boring?"
Little Bubble Gum fiddled with the teacup. He stared at the dark elf in surprise. The canary next to him also looked like a smile. She stretched out her hand and covered her lips gracefully. Her big eyes turned around, but she didn't say anything. However, Bilan's heart still looked leisurely and half-sleeping. I wonder if she had listened to it.
"Yes."
Standing in the shadow of the corner, Leo breathed gently. Including Rhodes, she could feel that there were three legendary existences in this room. Especially the two ladies, their powerful aura was almost breathless. Leo was sure that even if the two sides were in an asymmetry, she was not sure that she could attack the other party.
Even this man…………
Leo looked at Rhode in a complicated mood, and then continued to speak.
"That's all I know, Master. Lord Corund did not want a dark night dragon to intervene in the war at first, but His Highness Elin insisted on going to the front line. Lord Corund had no choice but to nod his head and agree. Although at the meeting, Lord Corund believed that Erin came down to the front line just because of curiosity and boredom,... it was still very nervous because it knew that this was the best opportunity to perform."
“………………………………………”
Leo finished speaking, but the whole room was silent, and the little bubble gum frowned rarely. The Canary also stretched out a finger to press against his chin and remained silent. The hearts of Rod and Belan were as always, but the former was as expressionless as ever. The latter was as half asleep as ever.
"I got it, Leo."
After a moment, Rhode nodded slightly, and then he made a gesture.
"We have something to discuss, you can go out first."
“Yes, master.”
Hearing Rhode's order, Leo turned around and left the room quietly and closed the door. Rhode was not worried that this dark elf would do something to harm him after leaving him. The cursed oath bound her soul and body. Even if Leo turned around, the dark curse would make her taste the pain of life worse than death. What's more, as a legendary swordsman, Rhode was very sure of capturing the breath of the dark elf. At this moment, he could feel that Leo was standing there quietly in the shadow at the edge of the stairs. It was obvious that the "rebirth" dark elf was still confused about his current position, but Rhode was not in the mood to comfort her.
With the dull sound of the door collision, the study room was still silent. It took me a long time before Rhode smiled bitterly.
"Now, we are in trouble, everyone."
"Yes... Commander, the trouble is so big..."
Even the little bubble gum, who always looks arrogant on weekdays, showed a stiff and bitter smile at this time, while the Canary sighed helplessly and shook her head.
"Is there any problem? Rhodes?"
Marlene looked at Rhode curiously, then looked at Canary and Little Bubble Gum. She couldn't understand why the three of them showed such helpless expressions. In Marlene's memory, Rhode and Canary were always full of confidence and never showed such expressions. And the cause of all this...
"Is it that Dark Night Dragon?"
"If it's just an ordinary Dark Night Along, we don't care, Marlin......"
Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum shook her head and smiled bitterly. She picked up the teacup again and took a sip of the black tea, but she couldn't drink it anyway.
“The problem is its name.”
"name?"
When he heard the answer from Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum, Marlin was slightly stunned. Is there any problem with the name of the Dark Night Dragon? Judging from the appearance of Rhodes and others, it seems to be a very difficult enemy? But... I have never heard of a powerful existence in the Wan Night Country called "Irene".
"You haven't heard of her name, but I can introduce it to you."
Looking at Marlene's confused expression, Rhode smiled bitterly and spoke.
"In the Dark Night Dragon, as a dragon clan, he is called His Highness, there is only one Along species named Yilin. You may not know her, but I think you must know who her brother is."
Speaking of this, Rhode paused for a moment before speaking.
"The Dark Dragon Kingdom is currently the heir of the dragon soul, Dark Dragon Ion."
