"I thought someone would come, but I didn't expect you to come in person, Master Armond."

Rhodes put down the letter in his hand, and then he crossed his hands and leaned back in his chair to stare at the old mage in front of him. Just now, he calmly read the letter from the Council of Light in front of him, the so-called peace of mind means that Rod did not slap the table and scold his mother when he saw it halfway, nor did he directly tear up the letter and burn it, let alone directly spit on it a few times and then throw it into the fire————Well, that's right, he did read the letter very calmly.

"I don't understand the thoughts of those idiots in the Land of Light, and I don't care, I'm sorry, Master Armond, now that the battle on the front line is tense, I still have to stay here to guard against the likely offensive of the Undead Legion, plus due to the shortage of manpower in my hands due to the previous war, I'm very sorry, I can't respond to the so-called pleading of the idiots in the Council of Light, and wipe my ass with what I made, if they want to stop the Undead Legion, then use their own corpses to fill it."

Hearing Rod's merciless words, Amund could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly, of course he could hear that the young man in front of him was obviously shirking, everyone knew that the current land of atonement was the calmest front in the front line, and the entire 150,000 troops were wiped out here, and there was not even a residue left. For now, in the current situation, the Night Nation does not have the strength to gather a large army to attack this place for the time being. But if you really want to talk about it, Rhodes's statement is actually very official, and if he responds with this set of prevarications, the Council of Light will definitely have nothing to say.

Of course, before that, the insults need to be eliminated.

"I think you've seen Her Highness Lydia's suggestion too........."

"Yes, Master Armond, Her Highness Lydia did 'advise' this. If it is His Highness's 'order', then as a courtier, I naturally have an obligation to obey it. But if it's a 'suggestion', then I'm sorry, but I forgive me for not letting my people die for the idiocy of the Council of Light. ”

Said here. Rod narrowed his eyes, he glanced at the letters on the table and raised an eyebrow. I have to say that Lydia is indeed very good at being a person, it should be said that she deserves to be the Grand Duke of a country, in this letter, the reason of the Council of Light is through the previous investigation (they really have the face to say this), and they admire and respect the strength shown by Rhodes to repel the undead (they don't even believe this kind of nonsense, right?). And right now, Castle Winter is facing the threat of the undead legion (if not their own idiots, why bother with the current situation?). ）。 In order to repel the undead, they need strong assistance, and Rhodes, who has just repelled the undead legion in the fortress of the Land of Atonement, is naturally their first invitation (the first to frame), and if they can, they also want to be able to get the support of the Holy Maiden statue (fuck these bastards, why don't they die?). According to the letter, they expected not only to be assisted by the Duchy of Moon, but also to draw men from other surrounding realms and principalities. Form a united army and unite as one. Gather the strength of humanity in order to completely defeat the attack of the undead army! (It's over, it's definitely the rhythm of the annihilation).

If that was all there was to the letter, Rhodes would have thrown it out of the way, but Lydia's advice attached to it was the only reason why he didn't tear it up and throw it in the furnace. On this letterhead, Lydia did not say that she asked Rhodes to accept the Council of Light's proposal. On the contrary, she tactfully "suggested" that Rod be able to think more about it, and also gave some reasons. For example, once Winter Castle falls, then the border line of the Principality of Moon will also be extended, but the rear is not ready yet. If you are in danger of falling Winter Castle before this. Then the undead army can directly bypass the front line of defense composed of Pafield-Glenbel, Dragon's Canyon, Eastern Mountain Plains and Segram, and directly attack the Duchy of Moon from behind, and Rhodes also knows very well that if things really come to that point, even if his fortress can block and kill Buddha, it will be useless.

However, it wasn't this that made him curious, but it was obvious that Lydia was hinting that this was not the reason why she expected him to go to Winter Castle, and as for the specific matters, he could ask Armond about it. Obviously, there are some important things that Lydia does not write about in this letter.

Because of this, Rhodes waited here for Amund's explanation, and he sat there with his hands crossed, waiting for Amund's words. Completely ignoring the angry pale soldier next to him——— yes, from the very beginning, Rhodes didn't mean to take this knight in the armor of the Kingdom of Light in his eyes at all. And listening to his disdain and cynicism towards the Land of Light, both openly and secretly, inside and outside his words, this knight's lungs were about to explode. But what can he say? Or what does he dare to say? If it weren't for Archmage Amond coming in person this time, he wouldn't have dared to run to this ghost place alone. Now that the Land of Atonement has become synonymous with ferocity in the Land of Light, whoever goes will be unlucky!

But now, hearing this, the knight finally couldn't bear it anymore, perhaps out of his pride as a native of the Land of Light, or perhaps because of the presence of Armond by his side, he finally took a step forward, stood up, frowned and said loudly.

"I'm so sorry, my lord, I don't think you're right! Now that the undead army is eyeing each other, it is time for us as humans to abandon our old grudges and only by uniting together can we have a chance to win and defeat those hateful undead! ”

"Hah!"

Hearing this, Rod snorted disdainfully. The other party said a lot of words, but unfortunately it didn't work for Rhodes at all, he didn't care about the old-fashioned argument that everyone is human and should put aside each other's preconceptions and unite to fight against external threats. This is the reason why Rod hates Hollywood movies, look at the group of idiot scientists in Europe and the United States who provoked a group of aliens to attack the earth for the so-called exploration of truth and scientific spirit, but they still have to pay for them in the whole world. After countless people died in the world and paid an unprecedented price to repel the aliens, this group of bastards did not suffer from the guilt and hanged themselves in front of all mankind, but put on a savior attitude, enjoying the cheers and praise of the whole world, thinking of this made Rhodes feel disgusted. If it weren't for the fact that the Nation of Light and the idiots deployed troops on the border to show their toughness, how could the Night Nation use this as an opportunity to invade the entire Continent of Light?

However, Rhodes did not respond to the knight, who seemed to him to be a small character. Not worthy of his own attention, he just frowned and stared at Archmage Armond, hoping that he would give himself an explanation. Sensing Rod's eyes, Amund sighed, and then he made a gesture. Motioned for the Knight of the Land of Light beside him to leave. And in the face of Armond's request, the knight naturally couldn't ask for it. Before he came here, he didn't know much about what it was, so many people in the Land of Light hated this young lord, but now he finally understood this. In the face of the Land of Light, this lord has no respect at all, he is an idiot and a fool, he sees a huge country of light as a mentally handicapped concentration camp, and he completely ignores his own existence, not even the Council of Light. This made the knight from the Land of Light naturally very dissatisfied, if it weren't for his status as an envoy. In addition, Rod was also considered a "bad record" before, and he even drew his long sword to duel with Rod here——— but he also knew very well that if he was really carried away and made such a stupid choice, then maybe in a few moments, his head would be hung by Rhodes on the city gate for public display.

After the door was closed with a thud, the old mage smiled bitterly, and he looked at Rod helplessly and shook his head.

"Mr. Rhodes. Sometimes you don't need to be so-for-tat, after all. The problem on the side of the Nation of Light......... You don't say it, everyone knows the Tao. ”

"But I don't say it, they pretend not to know what to do, so I don't like it, Archmage Armond. I look unhappy and want to say, let them be unhappy, I will be happy. ”

In the face of Amond's dissuasion. Rod shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and put on a rogue face, and seeing him like this, Amund could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly. But at this time, the old mage had a little more affection for Rod in his heart, when he met Rhodes before, what he saw was Rode's insidious and cunning and scheming side, although it was said that those who made great things were like this, but Rhodes was still too young after all, and it was not good to have a dead face all day long. Seeing his scoundrel appearance at this moment, Armond felt that this young man still had a bit of the stubbornness and stubbornness that a young man should have. In fact, as the archmage of the court, Amund knew no less about the dirty things in the Land of Light than Rhode, but because of his status, he couldn't say anything even if he was dissatisfied in his heart. At this moment, listening to Rhodes's mockery of the Kingdom of Light and the Council of Light, the old mage was naturally also secretly refreshed. But of course, he couldn't say it directly, not to mention, for Amund, he had more important "business" to say.

"Alright, Mr. Rhodes, that's not the point of our discussion now."

At this, the old mage coughed, and then he lowered his voice and spoke.

"As for the contents of the letter, as Her Highness said, she wants you to go to Winter Castle and help defend it. If you don't feel at ease, she can send the War Angel Legion to assist in the defense of the fortress when you leave it, and if the fortress is attacked, you can immediately evacuate from the front line and return to the fortress. Of course, Her Highness also saw the proposal for the statue of the Holy Maiden, and she thought that it would be a good idea if she could, and of course, as for the money needed to make the statue of the Holy Maiden, it could be spent from the treasury of Moon........."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Rhodes frowned and looked at Ammond suspiciously. It is a little strange that Lydia would give herself such a big face, but it is not this that makes Rhodes curious, he keenly grasped the central meaning of Archmage Amond's words, that is, this time, it is best for Rhodes to go to Winter Castle in person, for this reason, Lydia is even willing to send the War Angel Legion to assist in the defense of the fortress? And this is the question that Rhodes is most curious about now, and what he is most concerned about, why must it be himself? The Council of Light's claims are bullshit, and Rhodes can ignore them. In fact, if he were an ordinary lord, he could have symbolically sent a group of soldiers to the front line, and then told the Council of Light that he was too busy to leave. Even if the Council of Light said something nasty to Rhodes, it wouldn't hurt anything, anyway, they wasted their saliva, and the most disgusting thing was themselves.

But now. Lydia wished she could go in person, and that was a big problem. What is there that you need to go there yourself?

"That's right."

Sensing Rod's question, Armond sank down and whispered.

"This matter was also decided by Her Highness Lydia after she learned the news, according to the information that Her Highness received. Your Majesty will be heading to Winter Castle to boost morale and inspect the front line, so ..............."

I see!

Hearing Armond's answer, Rod's eyes lit up, and he finally understood why Lydia wanted to go to Winter Castle in person. In the entire continent of light, there is only one person who can be qualified to be called His Majesty——— and that is the inheritor of the dragon soul of light, Lilian the dragon of light.

Before this, Rhodes had never thought that Lydia would let him go to Winter Castle for this reason, and it was no wonder. He hadn't thought about Lillian at all before that. Because in the game, Lilian's presence is very weak, almost equal to zero. She has not affected any events, either in front of the stage or behind the scenes, as if she is a background character on the stage, and the player naturally has little interest in the background character. This was especially true when she couldn't influence herself, but now it seems that Rhodes has changed that. After the Dragon Soul Canon. Lilian began to gradually take on the appearance of the lord of a country and the heir of the dragon soul, of course. She didn't do very well, and in some places it can be said to be very bad. But for Rhodes to be able to make a difference, that's a great thing. What's more, whether Lillian messed up or did it right, everything she did was a fatal blow to the Council of Light. The Council of Light is desperate to prevent Lillian's restoration of kingship. This is for Rhodes. Naturally, this is great news.

Because of this, when he heard from Armond that Lillian was going to Winter Castle to boost morale, Rhodes immediately understood what Lydia had in mind. Her previous "chance encounter" with Lilian in Casablanca was certainly not an "accident", and judging from Lydia's performance, she was obviously happy to see it. And now. She also hinted that Rhodes would go to Winter Castle in person, obviously hoping that Rhodes would be able to influence Lillian more closely, as the archangel, it is not good for Lydia to leave her territory without permission, so this matter naturally needs to be done.

It's just that what Rhodes didn't expect was that, according to Amund, although it was true that Lydia had this idea to go to the Winter Fortress, it was Lilian herself who really proposed it!

I have said before that this dragon soul inheritor is still a child, and she is still a relatively kind-hearted and simple child. This time the Council of Light took advantage of Lillian's this, and at first, when Lillian wanted to go to the front, of course they stopped it. The result was naturally unhappy, but soon, the Council of Light found an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they agreed with Lilian's idea, but at the same time, they also put forward their own "opinions", it is conceivable that for a simple girl like Lilian, the story of everyone joining forces to fight against the evil enemy or something is exactly what meets her appetite, and the Council of Light does not know where to find out about the relationship between Rhodes and Lillian, so it deliberately proposes to Lillian to invite Rhodes to join the Coalition. This was naturally a good thing for Lilian, and of course she was very happy to see Rod. So this time, the dragon of light didn't even hesitate anything, and directly nodded in agreement.

And that's why the Council of Light made such a bold and bold request this time, they have the authorization of the Dragon Soul of Light? It's stamped with the seal of the Dragon of Light, huh? How's it going? Duchy of Moon? Hahaha, aren't you loyal subordinates who claim to be the Dragon of Light? Now, then, you should not disobey the opinion of the great Creation Dragon Soul.

And so it was.

After listening to Armond tell the whole story, Rhodes frowned suddenly, he had suspected that the Council of Light was really good Scar Forgot the pain, and actually had the courage to provoke himself, now it seems that they obviously have a plan. Since Lillian nodded and agreed to the invitation this time, it means that Lillian wants to see him, but Lillian is also a dragon soul of light anyway, and if the Council of Light can deliberately provoke Rhodes after he goes to Winter Castle, then things will be in trouble. If Rhodes had done it, then Lillian wouldn't have wanted to see such a thing happen, and if it had done well, the Council of Light could even use it to make Lillian unhappy with Lydia, which would affect Moon. At that time, the people you support don't like you anymore, so who do you support? Maybe they can also act as Lilian's supporters, pretending to support Lillian and secretly fighting Rod and Moon, which is naturally a good thing.

And if Rod swallows his anger, then the Council of Light will naturally kick his nose and face to vent the anger in his chest.

It can be seen that the abacus of the Council of Light is really good.

But..................

Thinking of this, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and a soft smile appeared.

"I see, Archmage Armond, I agree to accept this invitation."

Then he spoke. (To be continued......)
