Chapter 73 Give me a reason
"I thought someone would come, but I didn't expect you would come in person, Master Armond."
Rhode put down the letter in his hand, then crossed his hands and leaned back on the back of the chair to stare at the old mage in front of him. Just now, he calmly finished reading the letter from the Council of Light in front of him. The so-called calmness means that Rhode did not slap the table and curse his mother halfway, nor did he tear the paper into pieces and burn it, nor did he spit it on it and throw it into the fire--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't understand the idea of those idiots in the Kingdom of Light and don't care. I'm sorry, Master Armond, the front line is in a tense battle, and I still have to stay here to guard against the likely offensive of the Immortal Legion. In addition, due to the previous war, I'm short of manpower in my hands, so I'm very sorry. I can't respond to the so-called prayers of the idiots in the Council of Light. I wipe my butts by myself if I want to block the Immortal Legion, so I'll use my own bodies to fill it out."
Hearing Rhode's merciless words, Armond could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Of course, he could hear that the young man in front of him was obviously ruling. Everyone knew that the land of atonement was the calmest front line at the front line, with a total of 150,000 troops here to ashes, and there was no residue left. As for the current situation, in view of the current situation, the Kingdom of Night has no power to gather its troops to attack here. But to be honest, Rhode's statement is actually very official. If he responds with this set of refusal, the Council of Light will definitely have nothing to say.
Of course, before this, you must eliminate those insulting words.
"I think you have seen His Highness Lydia's suggestion too..."
"Yes, Master Armond, His Highness Lydia did 'suggest' this. If it was His Highness's 'order', then as a minister, I naturally have the obligation to comply. But if it was 'suggestion', then I'm sorry, please forgive me for my difficulty in obedience. I will not let my people die in vain because of the idiotic behavior of the Council of Light."
Speaking of this, Rhodes narrowed his eyes. He glanced at the letter on the table and raised his eyebrows. I have to say that Lydia is indeed very good at being a human being. It should be said that she is worthy of being a grand duke. In this letter, the reason for the Council of Light was to pass the previous investigation (they really have the face to say this). They admired and respected the power shown by Rhodes to repel the undead creatures (even they don’t believe this kind of nonsense?), and at present, Winter Castle is facing the threat of the undead legion (if they were not their own idiots, why would they make a fuss until the present situation?). In order to repel the undead creatures, they need to be strong.
, and Rhodes, who had just repelled the Immortal Legion in the Fortress of the Atonement Land, is naturally their primary invitation (it is the primary object of frame-up). If possible, the other party also hopes to obtain support from the Saint Girl statue (fucking the fuck, these bastards are really greedy, why don’t they die?), and according to the description in the letter, they not only hope to obtain the assistance of the Duchy of Moon, but also draw personnel from other territories and principalities around to form a joint army, gather the power of mankind to completely defeat the attack of the Immortal Legion! (It’s over, this is definitely the rhythm of the destruction).
If the content of the letter was just like this, then Rhode would have thrown it out long ago. However, the suggestion of Lydia, which was attached to the letter, was the only reason why he did not tore the letter into the stove. On this letter, Lydia did not say that she would ask Rhode to accept the proposal of the Council of Light. On the contrary, she tactfully "suggested" that Rhode could consider it more and also gave some reasons. For example, once the Winter Castle is lost, then the Duchy of Moon will be in the Duchy of Mun.
The border line will also be lengthened, but the rear is not ready yet. If we face the crisis of the fall of Winter Castle before this, then the Immortal Legion can directly bypass the front line of defense composed of Parfield-Glenbel, Dragon Canyon, Oriental Mountain and Segram, and launch an attack directly against the Duchy of Moon from behind. Rhodes is also very clear that if things really come to that point, even if their fortress can be blocked by people and killed by Buddha, it will be useless.
But it was not this that made him curious, but that after this, Lydia was obviously implying that this was not the reason he expected him to go to Winter Castle. As for specific matters, he could ask Ammond. Obviously, there were some very important things that Lydia did not write in this letter.
It is precisely because of this that Rhodes is waiting for Ammond's explanation here. He crossed his hands and sat there, waiting for Ammond to speak. He completely ignored the angry and pale soldier next to him. That's right, from the beginning, Rhodes never took this knight in the armor of the Kingdom of Light at all. And listening to his disdain and sarcasm for the Kingdom of Light, his lungs were irritated. But what could he say? Or what dare he say? If Master Armond had not come here in person this time, he would not dare to run to this ghost place alone. Now the Land of Atonement has become a synonym for the evil spirits in the Kingdom of Light. Whoever goes will be unlucky!
But now, hearing this, the knight finally couldn't stand it anymore, perhaps out of his self-esteem as a member of the Kingdom of Light, or perhaps because of Ammond beside him, he finally took a step forward, stood up, frowned and said loudly.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Lord, I think your statement is not correct! Now the Immortal Legion is eyeing me. As humans, we should abandon our old hatreds at this time. Only by uniting together can we have a chance to win and defeat those hateful undead creatures!"
"ha!"
Hearing this, Rhode snorted coldly. The other party was quite striking, but unfortunately, this was useless to Rhode. He didn't care what it means that everyone is human, so he should abandon the old sayings of prejudice and join forces to fight against foreign threats. This is why Rhode hates Hollywood movies. Look at the idiotic scientists in Europe and the United States who provoke a group of aliens to attack the earth for the so-called exploration of truth and scientific spirit, but they still have to be the whole world.
The world came to pay for them. After countless people died in the world and paid an unprecedented price to repel aliens, these bastards did not feel heartbroken and apologized for guilt in front of all mankind and hanged themselves, but instead acted like a savior and enjoyed the cheers and praises of the whole world. Thinking of this made Rhode feel disgusting. If it weren't for the idiots of the Kingdom of Light, the group of idiots who arranged troops on the border to show their tough attitude, how could the Kingdom of Night use this as an opportunity to invade the entire continent of Light?
However, Rhode did not respond to the knight. In his opinion, the other party was just a small character. It was not worth his attention. He just frowned and looked at the great master of Armond, hoping that he could give him an explanation. When he noticed Rhode's eyes, Ammond couldn't help but sigh, and then he made a gesture to signal the knight of the Land of Light beside him to leave. Faced with Ammond's request, the knight naturally couldn't ask for it. Before coming here, he didn't know very well why so many people in the Land of Light hate this young lord, and now he finally understood this. Facing the Land of Light, this lord is one
There was no respect at all. He opened his mouth and shut up and was foolish. He regarded the huge country of light as a mentally retarded concentration camp. He completely ignored his existence and even ignored the Council of Light. This made the knights who were born in the country of Light naturally dissatisfied. If it weren't for his identity as an envoy, and Rhodes had "had a bad record" before, he would even draw out his sword to fight Rhodes here-but he knew very well that if he was really blinded and made such a stupid choice, then maybe in a moment, his head would be hung by Rhodes on the city gate and displayed to the public.
After the door closed again with a heavy sound, the old mage smiled bitterly. He looked at Rhode helplessly and shook his head.
"Mr. Rhodes, sometimes you don't need to be so tit-for-tat, after all, the problem with the Kingdom of Light... Everyone knows if you don't say it."
"But if I don't say it, they pretended not to know, so I felt unhappy, Master Armond. If I feel unhappy, I will say it. If they feel unhappy, I will be happy."
Faced with Ammond's dissuasion, Rhode shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and showed a rogue and rogue face. Seeing him like this, Ammond could only shake his head and smile bitterly. However, at this time, the old mage had a little more affection for Rhode. When he met Rhode in the past, he saw Rhode's sinister, cunning, scheming, and conspiring side. Although it was like this for those who had great events, Rhode was still too young after all, and it was not good to have a stern face all day. At this moment, he saw him a little bit of rogue.
As he looked, Armond felt that this young man was still somewhat stubborn and stubborn as a young man should have. In fact, as a great mage of the palace, Armond knew less about the dirty things in the Kingdom of Light than Rhodes, but due to his status, he was dissatisfied and could not say much. At this moment, he heard Rhodes' different mocking of the Kingdom of Light and the Council of Light, and the old mage was naturally secretly happy. But of course he could not say it directly, not to mention that for Ammond, he had more important "main affairs" to say.
"Okay, Mr. Rhode, that's not the focus of our discussion now."
Speaking of this, the old mage coughed, then he lowered his voice and spoke.
"About the content of the letter, as His Highness said, she hopes you can go to Winter Castle and help defend. If you have anything to worry about, she can send the Legion of War Angels to assist the defense of the fortress when you leave the fortress, and if the fortress is attacked, you can immediately evacuate from the front line and return to the fortress. Of course, His Highness also saw the proposal for the statue of the Holy Girl, and she thought it would be a good idea if possible. Of course, as for the money needed to create the statue of the Holy Girl, it can be spent from the Moon treasury..."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Rhode frowned and looked at Armond Lydia in confusion. It was strange that he would give him such a great face, but it was not what made Rhode curious about. He keenly grasped the central meaning of the words of the Great Master Armond. That is, this time, it would be best that Rhode could go to Winter Castle in person. For this reason, Lydia was even willing to send the Archangel Legion to assist the fortress's defense? But this is what Rhode is most curious and caring about the most.
The question is, why must it be himself? The statement of the Council of Light is bullshit, and Rhodes can ignore it. In fact, if he is an ordinary lord, then he can symbolically send a team of soldiers to the front line, and then tell the Council of Light that he is troubled by affairs and is inconvenient to leave. Even if the Council of Light says something ugly to Rhodes, it will not hurt any of them. Anyway, they are just themselves who are wasting their saliva and disgusting.
But now, Lydia hopes that she can go there in person, so the problem is huge. What exactly does it require you to go there in person?
“That’s how it is.”
Aware of Rhode's doubts, Armond sank down and whispered.
"This matter was decided only after His Highness Lydia learned the news. According to the news he received, His Majesty will go to Winter Castle to boost morale and inspect the front line, so…………………”
I see!
Hearing Armond's answer, Rod's eyes lit up. He finally understood why Lidya hoped that he could go to Winter Castle in person. There was only one person on the entire continent of Light who could be called His Majesty - that is, the successor of the Dragon Soul of Light, Lilian, the Dragon of Light.
Before this, Rhode had never thought that Lidya would have asked him to go to Winter Castle for this reason. No wonder he had never considered Lillian's factor at all before this. Because in the game, Lillian's presence was very weak, almost equal to zero. She had never affected any incidents, neither in front of the stage nor behind the scenes, just like a background character on the stage, and the players naturally had no interest in the background character. Especially when she could not affect herself, it was even more so. But now it seems,
Rhodes had changed this. After the Dragon Soul Sacred Book, Lilian began to gradually look like a king of a country and a heir of dragon soul. Of course, she did not do very well, and some places could even be said to be very different. But it would be better for Rhodes to make some changes. More importantly, no matter whether Lilian messed up or did it right, everything she did was a fatal blow to the Council of Light. The Council of Light was definitely going to fight to the death to stop Lilian's restoration of the royal power. This is naturally a major good news for Rhodes.
It is also because of this that when he heard from Armond that Lilian was going to go to Winter Castle to boost morale, Rod immediately understood what Litian was thinking. Her "accidental encounter" with Lilian in Casablanca was definitely not an "unexpected incident". Judging from Litian's performance, she was obviously happy to see it. And now, she hinted in her words that Rhode went to Winter Castle in person, obviously hoping that Rhode could influence Lilian one step closer. As the archangel, Litian could not leave her territory without authorization, so this matter naturally needs someone to do.
However, what Rhodes did not expect was that according to Armond, although Lidya did have this idea, it was Lillian himself who really proposed this matter!
It has been said before that His Majesty, the heir of the Dragon Soul, is still a child, and she is a relatively kind-hearted and simple child. This time, the Council of Light took advantage of Lilian's point. At the beginning, when Lilian wanted to go to the front line, they certainly stopped him. As a result, they naturally parted in disagreement, but soon, the Council of Light found an opportunity to take advantage of. They agreed with Lilian's idea, but at the same time, they also put forward their own "opinions".
It can be imagined that for a simple girl like Lilian, the story of everyone joining forces to fight against evil enemies is exactly what she likes. Moreover, the Council of Light found out about the relationship between Rhode and Lilian from somewhere, so it deliberately proposed to Lilian to invite Rhode to join the United Army. This is naturally a good thing for Lilian. She was of course very happy when she thought of seeing Rhode. So this time, the Dragon of Light nodded in agreement without even hesitating.
This is also the reason why the Council of Light made this request so boldly and blatantly. They have the authorization of the Dragon Soul of Light? It is covered with the seal of the Dragon of Light? How about it? The Duchy of Mun? Hahaha, aren’t you calling yourself the loyal subordinates of the Dragon of Light? Then now you should not disobey the opinions of the great Creation Dragon Soul.
It's true.
After hearing Armond's entire story, Rod frowned. He had previously suspected that the Council of Light had healed and forgot the pain, and had the courage to provoke him. Now it seems that they have some plans. Since this invitation was Lilian nodding in agreement, it means that Lilian really wanted to see him, but Lilian was the Dragon Soul of Light. If the Council of Light could deliberately provoke Rhode after Rhode went to Winter Castle,
Then things will be troublesome. If Rhodes takes action, then Lilian will definitely not want to see such a thing happen. If the operation is good, the Council of Light can even make Lilian dissatisfied with Litian and then affect Moon. By that time, the person you support doesn't like you anymore, see who else do you support? At that time, maybe they can pretend to support Lilian as Lilian supporters and secretly attack Rhodes and Moon, which is naturally a good thing.
And if Rhodes swallowed his anger, then the Council of Light would naturally swear to the face and vent the anger in his chest.
It can be seen that the plan of the Council of Light is really good.
but………………
Thinking of this, Rhode's mouth slightly raised, and a soft smile appeared.
"I understand, Master Armond, I agree to accept this invitation."
Then he spoke.
