Chapter 79 The Beginning of Embarrassment
Although it was said verbally that this was a misunderstanding, everyone knew that it was definitely not a misunderstanding. The Council of Light, which had always hoped to cause trouble for Rhode, finally seized the handle this time and went to question why Rhode attacked his subordinates with great momentum, and also gave a lot of rhetoric to warn Rhode that this would affect the stability and unity of the entire Winter Castle front, almost calling Rhode a sinner to all mankind.
But what made the Council of Light angry was that in the face of their questioning, Rhodes had no intention of defending himself. On the contrary, his answer was very simple - as a noble, a lord, and an earl who was granted official title by the royal family, he had the right to punish those who disrespect him and tried to threaten him. Glen ignored his identity and provoked him repeatedly, and even planned to take action. As a noble, as an earl, he had the right to punish such "lower people" who dared to insult and even provoke his dignity. Because this is the power of a noble, no one can stop him from exercising his power.
This was justified, while the Council of Light was stunned, but there was no way to refute it. Because it was true in terms of status, and many people present could prove that Glen was the first to speak rude to Rhode, saying a country bumpkin, or something. Although Rhode was young, this time he visited on behalf of Moon, his identity was an envoy to the outside world. In addition, he was also a lord and count, and his status was of course much higher than Glen, who was just the commander of the legion. But now, although Rhode's obvious behavior of using his identity to suppress others is very despicable, it is very effective, because if he really wanted to say this, it was completely overwhelming! Of course, you can also say that as a noble, you should talk about spiritual construction. Don't be so rude and barbaric, you can protest to the Council of Light afterwards... But obviously, Rhode doesn't like to play this set.
There was no trouble for Rhodes in this matter, but the Council of Light did not stop, because this was by the way. They came here with great momentum, in fact, for another more important issue - that is Rhodes' five thousand reinforcements!
This was agreed in the contract. At that time, the Council of Light thought that Rhodes said 5,000 soldiers at that time, because as long as he had a little knowledge of the Land of Atonement, he knew that the Lord Rhodes was a superficial scenery. In fact, it was very miserable. In the large territory he undertook was a deserted and uninhabited land, and naturally there was no source of taxation and military collection. Although Rhodes started out with the Mercenary Guild, and the Starlight Guild is now quite famous in the entire Parfield area, mercenaries are not a fixed source of a territory. Any territory needs stable soldiers and financial support, but none of these Rhodes did. So the Council of Light only thought Rhodes was so casual. So they hurriedly grasped the loophole and insisted that Rhodes provide 5,000 soldiers. If he recruited less than 5,000 soldiers, the treaty would be completely invalidated.
But now, Rhodes brought five thousand soldiers, but the problem is that these five thousand people are not humans!
The Council of Light originally promoted the slogan of "All mankind unite to fight against the undead". Most of the lords of the forces and territories also knew that the Council of Light would have human supremacy, but they didn't care. After all, these lords are also humans, and there may be other races in their territory. However, they are also a few, and it is generally difficult to join the army. Even if they join the army, they are special units. It is impossible for elves to reorganize an infantry team of 1,000 people or something. Most of the soldiers are still humans. So it's nothing to respond to the call of the Council of Light.
But Rhodes brought five thousand non-humans over with him, which was the face of the light-up council in front of him!
Slap. Slap, Slap.
Look, it's all swollen.
At the beginning, the beginning of the Council of Light was that these 5,000 soldiers were not humans, and this was a violation of their agreement, so they directly filed a complaint to the church. However, the church finally stated that when the two sides signed the agreement, there was no requirement for the soldiers' race, so Rhodes only brought 5,000 soldiers, no matter what race they were, as long as they were not demons, they would not be responsible for it, and this was not considered a violation of the agreement.
I was disappointed in the church, but the Council of Light was not discouraged. They naturally did not believe Rhodes' words, so they went to find the wizards of the Tour de France and even invited the Holy Knights of the church to ask them to identify what the soldiers Rhodes brought to them.
As spellcasters and knights who have fought with the devil and demons, both sides know what the devil is and what the elemental creature is. In the end, the answer from them was the same as Rhodes said, that is, these are all fire elemental creatures, not devils or demons.
This made the Council of Light cry without tears. They came to take the opportunity to blackmail Rod, but now they have lost a lot of rice. At this time, they also understood why Rod had bitten the pension for the Council of Light to compensate their soldiers, which made them seem inexplicable. At that time, they were still secretly happy that if Rod could really toss out his five thousand soldiers here, his strength would definitely be greatly reduced. Even if he paid the money, he would be willing to pay. But now............ they must be less willing.
The only psychological comfort for the Council of Light is to comfort itself. Ordinary people cannot get five thousand elemental creatures (this is also true, otherwise the Council of Light would not have expected Rhode to do this at the beginning). This time Rhode brought a army of five thousand elements. If it really loses completely here, it will be considered as weakening Rhode's strength.
Well...probably...probably...it should...
This is just a problem in the rear, and for Winter Castle on the front line, their problems are even more serious. The troops in the Kingdom of Light are responsible for this front, but now they are having a headache. Because the situation in Winter Castle is finally developing in the direction they least want to see.
After Rhodes arrived here, many of the reflective parliamentary forces turned over and became masters, decisively abandoning the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Light to join Rhodes. At the beginning, they were still a little uneasy in their hearts. However, Rhodes showed quite enthusiasm for these representatives - although he was still expressionless as always. However, everyone had heard too many rumors about this lord and did not take it seriously. The enthusiasm expressed by Rhodes also made these people who were still a little uneasy in their hearts immediately relieved and began to stand firm, and completely surrounded the reflective parliamentary camp centered on Rhodes.
This also led to the polarization of the entire Winter Fortress front becoming more and more obvious. Later, even when the joint army meeting was held, you could see that the entire venue was clearly divided into two factions, the Light Parliamentary faction centered on the joint army representatives and the Reflective Parliamentary faction centered on Rhodes. In this case, the plan to be able to coordinate and command the army to defend was also failed.
However, as soldiers, they are still more practical than the group of idiotic MPs in the rear. Since they can no longer command and mobilize those hard bones, they simply let Rhode do it. With Winter Castle as the central axis point, the entire Winter Castle is divided into two fronts in the north and south, so the military headquarters decisively handed over the command of the southern front to Rhode. He took the strength of the Light Council to wander around the northern front, so this would not only avoid communication problems between the two sides, but also
To avoid any conflicts again - after Rhode injured Glen, the Mayflower Legion was full of anger and wanted to fight Rhode immediately. But the military department naturally didn't want to see such a scene happening, so it simply separated the two groups of people and did their own things. Although this is not a good thing for the front line. But it is better than the undercurrent, the entire front was caused by the light parliamentary faction and the reflective light parliamentary faction.
But this also posed a big problem for the Joint Army Command. After receiving this news, the reflective parliamentary forces immediately couldn't wait to mobilize the military headquarters. They all went to the southern front and threw them aside. This made the Joint Army Command very embarrassed, and in addition to this, there was another very important issue. It was the liaison work between the two sides. Although the Joint Army did this on the surface to separate the unstable factors and do their own things. However, the war required cooperation after all. Therefore, the communication between each other is also very important, but the problem is......
“Who would like to take this position?”
The representative of the United Army sat on a chair, frowned and looked at his colleagues. But all he saw were embarrassed faces. After all, no one was stupid. They all knew very well that if they were the liaison officer between the United Army and Rhodes, it would mean that they would often deal with the terrible lord. Thinking of Glen, who was still moaning on the bed, the group of people suddenly felt scared deep in their hearts. No one wanted to go back forever, but they were also unwilling to seek death specifically!
"The Undead Legion is approaching, and I think you are also very clear that we must work together to win."
The representative of the United Army frowned, spread his hands and looked at everyone helplessly. This is not an excuse. This time, Rhodes brought the statue of the Saint Girl. No matter which side, they need the support of the statue of the Saint Girl, will inevitably communicate with Rhodes, but the problem is... This lord is not easy to deal with at all.
Isn't anyone willing to stand up?
Seeing the silent people in front of him, he frowned. And at this moment, suddenly, a crisp sound came.
"Please leave it to me."
"Miss Sonia?"
Hearing this voice, many people turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction where the sound came out. Sonia stood up from her seat and looked at them quietly. André could not hide his surprise beside the girl.
"Sonya, you..."
"I have led an investigation team to deal with that lord, and I am quite familiar with him. Therefore, I think I am qualified to hold this position."
Speaking of this, Sonia stretched out a hand and pressed it against her chest.
"Is there any comments for you?"
