"What!?"

Hearing the cavalry's words, the surrounding crowd immediately exploded.

"The Land of Light? What are those bitches doing in our Moon? Don't these brutes think they don't mess with enough? ”

"Kill them, my lord, how unreasonable are those bastards who dare to come to our land and arrest people!"

For a while, the surrounding crowd was excited, and even Li Jie and several other spirit masters were gloomy, obviously very angry.

It's no wonder that although the relationship between the Land of Light and the Principality of Moon has always been bad, it has been seriously intensified over the years, and the people in the north of Moon almost gritted their teeth when they mentioned the Land of Light, and the reason for this is to start with the "Battle of Ten Thousand Flowers" fifty years ago.

Fifty years ago, the Glory of Light, a border unit belonging to the Land of Light, entered the Wanhua Plain in the name of a military exercise without notifying the Principality of Moon, and invaded a nomadic gathering place there, and the nomads reacted quickly to the soldiers who suddenly appeared into their place of residence, asking them to leave. As a result, instead of leaving, the army of the Land of Light launched an attack on the wanderers, which eventually led to the complete destruction of the gathering place. This incident immediately shocked the entire Duchy of Moon. What made everyone even more angry was that when the former Grand Duke went to the Council of Light to question, the Council of Light actually bit back, claiming that they were just defending themselves, and that it was the barbaric vagrants who attacked them first, and the soldiers only started to fight back when the advice was ineffective. Not only that, but they also beat the back, accusing the Duchy of Moon of fabricating a crime in an attempt to discredit the Council of Light and their army. Although the last thing is, the Land of Light has also held a hearing and trial on the surface, but what makes everyone angry. At this trial, those murderous executioners actually said that their strayed entry into the territory of the Duchy of Moon was just a "misunderstanding", and that it was a "tragedy" caused by their "misjudgment", and the Council of Light actually took the group of people's account and released them directly!

Since then, the Duchy of Moon and the Land of Light have been almost completely opposed. The Northern Legion pressed the border and directly mobilized all its troops to the border of the Land of Light in the name of military exercises, and within the Duchy of Moon, those chambers of commerce and individuals who were involved in the Land of Light were also attacked a lot. At one point, the Land of Light was even forced to stop the trade routes from the Duchy of Moon.

And in the Principality of Moon, it was only at that time that the contradictions between the north and the south began to really become life-and-death. At that time, in the Principality of Moon, most of the north, led by the Wanhua Plain, denounced the country of light for being barbaric, rude, and rude. Moreover, it is not the first time that the army of the Land of Light has entered the border of the Principality of Moon, and many towns and people on the northern border have been harassed by them, but at that time things were not so serious. So most of the time, I can only swallow my anger. However, those representatives from the south who have always been close to the Council of the Land of Light have adopted the statement of the Land of Light, not only do they think that the country of light has done something wrong, but they think that the barbaric and rude behavior of the people of the north has discredited the face of the Principality of Moon, and the whole incident is obviously just a misunderstanding, but they have made the wrong dangerous reaction without thinking, which has led to the army of the country of light being "forced to defend itself". If they can calm down, appeal through reasonable channels. Then there would not have been this tragedy. And many people in the south also used this to ridicule the northerners for their rudeness and powerlessness, believing that they deserved to be unlucky.

At that time, there were also southern noble lords who mentioned the matter on the spot at the palace banquet. Appealed to the people in the north to reflect on their mistakes and not make mistakes again and again, but when I heard it, the commander of the northern army directly took the case, scolding the southern nobles for being a group of weak and incompetent stupid pigs, others rushed to your house and put a knife on your neck to hack you to death, and you really waited for others to hack you to death and then appealed? !

But alas. The Grand Duke was not Lydia at the time, and although she was angry about the incident, she did not come up with any practical means to make a statement, so in the end the matter could only be resolved. This, in turn, became a lever for the people of the Land of Light, who laughed at the Principality of Moon and shouted for the thief. Now that the evidence is conclusive, there is nothing to say, and most of the people of the Kingdom of Light directly accept the statement of the Council of Light, thinking that this is the Principality of Moon itself, and they are just victims! There are even those who claim that the whole incident was a hoax, and that the Duchy of Moon itself sent people to kill them in order to divert the attention of the people and maintain their crumbling dictatorship.

This has made many people in the Principality of Moon have been hiding a wave of anger in their hearts, and it has also made their estrangement from the Land of Light and the southern faction grow wider and deeper, and the hatred is getting deeper and deeper. Since then, in the North, every child has been born to listen to their parents tell this story, about their pain and humiliation, and about the arrogant and domineering behavior of the Land of Light, and this hatred has been passed down from generation to generation, which is why many people went to watch and cheer when Lydia hanged the group of reformers, in their opinion, those reformers are the same as the Land of Light, and they gloated there at the beginning, not to mention that they actually helped outsiders bite their own people, and they deserved to die!

It is precisely because of this that in this civil war, although the people in the south were unlucky and miserable for various reasons, not many people sympathized with them.

Because, in the words of the reformers themselves, they are unlucky and unworthy of sympathy.

Under Rhodes, except for the old Walker, who had experienced that incident, the rest of the people were very young, and they had not experienced it personally, but this did not prevent them from hating the Land of Light, it was not just a matter of oral pain in the past, in fact, although the actions of the Land of Light on the border of Moon had been curtailed since then, their arrogant and domineering behavior still existed, not to mention that the people of the Duchy of Moon and the Land of Light were originally very divided. The people of the Duchy of Moon revere the Dragon of Light and believe that it was the Soul of Creation that created the Land of Light. But on the other hand, the people of the Land of Light believe that they have built the current country through their own efforts, and that the Creation Dragon Soul is just trying to enslave them for this reason. Because of this, the two sides have been unpleasant. The people of the Land of Light believe that the Moon are a group of slaves who worship dictators and have no thoughts of their own, while the Moon people believe that the People of Light are a group of selfish traitors who have betrayed the soul of the creation dragon.

And after Lydia came to power. The new Grand Duke's iron-blooded and strong style finally broke the suppression of Moon by the Kingdom of Light, and began to compete with the Kingdom of Light in turn. If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Soul of Light was still nominally the leader of the Land of Light, it was really hard to say how things would have developed.

Because of this, when everyone heard the news, they immediately exploded, and they quickly thought of the bloody case fifty years ago. Now, the forces of the Nation of Light have once again entered Moon and are trying to arrest their comrades? Do they really think Moon is as soft as a persimmon?

This scene was seen in the eyes of the half-demon descendants who joined after Thor and the others, all of them were dumbfounded, with their experience, if it was someone else who heard such news, I am afraid that the first reaction would be to panic, no matter what, the country of light is still powerful on this continent. In fact, Moon is not the only territory that is not friendly with the Land of Light, but most of the other lords are only angry at what the Land of Light has done, after all, they don't have the archangel to support them. Even in Moon, not everyone dared to stand up against the Land of Light.

But Rod's starlight must not be among them, since the establishment of this mercenary group, Rhodes and others have almost pushed the country of light and the reformers all the way forward, Rhodes has no awe of the people of the country of light, and his subordinates naturally have the same attitude towards the country of light. That's why I'm hearing the news now. Not only did no one feel scared, but even gritted their teeth and said that they would kill that group of sluts. Sol had never encountered anything like this before. Although he led the half-demon descendants to wander a lot of places on the Continent of Light, no matter there, as long as the Land of Light was mentioned, most of them looked awe-inspiring and evasive, like the performance of his colleagues at the moment, Thor didn't even think about it.

"How? Top dog. Come on, as long as you say a word, the brothers have no two hearts! Wherever you let us go, we'll rush we! ”

"It's just that it's not fun to beat this group of orcs, and Lao Tzu has long wanted to try to kill those idiots. It must be great! ”

In the face of the excited crowd in front of him, Rod was expressionless, on the contrary, Lijie, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly, and then she turned to look at Rode.

"Mr. Rod, I think this is very strange....................."

"What's wrong? Miss Lijie? What's so strange? ”

Hearing Lijie's words, the originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down, after the battle of the Pafield Line, Lijie's status as an adjutant in the hearts of the mercenaries was also completely established, and when they heard her speak, everyone immediately quieted down, and then Joey frowned and asked. Hearing Joey's inquiry, Lijie nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"We're on the ice field outside of the Silvermoon Forest, so it's not wrong to say that this place is barely close to the border of the Night Dragon Country, but this place doesn't border the Land of Light? If I'm not mistaken, from the Silvermoon Forest down, connecting Mr. Rod's Glenbel Mountain Domain, at most some of them are bordering the Land of Law, and there is no territory of the Land of Light on this line, why would the army of the Land of Light go so deep into Moon? ”

"That's ............... to say"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, indeed, as Li Jie said, according to the map, the area where Rhodes and the others are located belongs to the border area of the Night Dragon Country, but the Light Dragon Country is in the rear, even along the border, the place where the three forces converge is definitely not close, and if you say so, the army of the Land of Light almost crossed the territory of Moon, and then came to the border front line from the rear, and according to the report of the cavalry, there were as many as two or three hundred people surrounding John's cavalry, With so many men, and mages, it's easy to say that the border area sneaked in, but this is almost deep into the hinterland, and it hasn't been discovered by the Duchy of Moon, so it's impossible to say what.

At this time, many people calmed down, they looked at each other, and they could see unwillingness and anger in their eyes, but they could also see helplessness. Following Rhodes for so long, from a mercenary group to a guild, and then to a territory, even the most stupid person should have a little bit of a big picture, not to mention that most of the people who joined Rhodes' elite group have good brains, and at this moment they have already noticed that these people are probably not just the so-called "mistaken", the current Grand Duke Lydia is not the good old person before, if she really knows about this matter, then it is impossible for her not to react. But now............... What could they do if it was really her Highness Lydia who had acquiesced into the Duchy of Moon?

Just when everyone sighed angrily and unwillingly, Rod raised his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and then an incomparably bright smile appeared on ———.

“——————！！”

Looking at Rod's smile, Thor stood still and gasped.

After joining Rod's private army, there are only two things that Thor has heard about Rhodes the most——— the first point is that he should never mention his face in front of Rod, otherwise it will cause unimaginable pain and torture.

The second point is that when Rhodes puts a smile on his face in front of someone other than Christie, nothing good will happen.

Saul had personally seen the contact between Rod and Christie, and Rod at that time was indeed not as expressionless as usual, and that soft, warm smile even made people feel relaxed and comfortable. But now, the smile he saw on Rod's face was filled with an indescribable fear.

If you just evaluate it from the smile itself, then Rhodes's smile is full of bright, sunny smiles. But I don't know what it is, as long as he sees Rod's smile, Thor feels a chill behind him, as if he has been brought to the guillotine at this moment, bound and bound, just waiting for the cold blade above his head to fall, and his body is in a different place, the shadow of death has shrouded, but no matter what, he can't break free from the fear and despair.

Not only Thor, but the others were also silent at this time, and even Anne, who was always the most lively on weekdays, curled up at this time and hid behind the spirit masters, just showing her head and peeking at Rhodes secretly.

"Whatever they're here for, there's no point in us speculating here."

Rhodes raised his head, looked ahead, and said with a smile.

"If you want to know the reason, just ask them directly....................."

Until this time, Rod's tone was as calm and peaceful as ever, but soon, his next speech was full of a thick chill.

“……… Get ready for battle and go. (To be continued.) )
