When they saw these black shadows, many people widened their eyes in surprise, opened their mouths, and couldn't say half a word. Although the strange sea elves before also surprised them very much, these terrifying black shadows in front of them were completely unexpected by everyone.

Behind Rhodes were huge humanoid monsters with a height of more than two meters, their bodies were composed of thick, pitch-black and solidified magma shells, at first glance, they looked like knights covered in heavy armor, but in the gaps of these magma shells, everyone could still see the hot flames used to compose their body flow, the bright red flames burned under the pitch-black and heavy shells, turning into a torrent of high temperature and flowing in the bodies of these terrible monsters.

They walked out of the deck in silence, but the entire platform was unusually silent at the moment, and both the Council of Light and the Council of Light were looking at each other at this time, not knowing what to say. Of course, they didn't care about where Rhodes was going to recruit 5,000 soldiers, but this was also their own business, and even if they inquired, they couldn't find a result. But no one thought that Rhodes's so-called five thousand soldiers would actually be these strange-looking monsters!

It wasn't until a moment later that a knight strode out, looking at the soldier behind Rhodes with a solemn face, and then sneered.

"Mr. Rhodes, I hope you can give us an explanation."

"Explain?"

Rhodes still held his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and looked at the knight in front of him with an arrogant and contemptuous expression. His dark eyes flashed with mockery and disdain. This made the knight grit his teeth, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and then asked.

"This is your soldier?"

"yes, what's the problem?"

Rod raised an eyebrow. Glanced at him. Feeling Rod's gaze, the knight's face suddenly turned pale. The momentum of any legendary powerhouse is extremely terrifying, even if it is a newcomer like Rhodes. He just glanced at the knight casually, and it made him feel as if a cold blade was sweeping over his head, and if he went any further, he was afraid that his head and body would be completely separated. This made him involuntarily restrain the smile on his face. There was even a thought of retreating, but then, he gritted his teeth and said hard.

"So, could you please explain how you came to be connected to these demons!?"

The others didn't seem to be very surprised to hear this knight speak, and it was no wonder, after all, these huge monsters were a little too terrifying. If the strange elves from before are very strange, although they are long. But if they're at least beautiful, then these monsters are synonymous with the devil in bedside stories. They are tall, pitch black, and have flames burning all over their bodies. The two eyes are like two dazzling, glowing round rubies. What is even more frightening is their mouths, which are completely different from those of humans, but are stretched like the jaws of a wolf or a Shiba dog. Coupled with the flame spears they held, some people would believe that this was the Devil Lord's personal guard.

Of course, the Reflective Council faction didn't believe that Rhodes would bring a group of devil soldiers with a big stab. This is the Continent of Light, and Moon is the country ruled by the Archangel. As a loyal confidant of Lydia, it is impossible for Rhodes to lead the devil's army to help in such an open manner. But............... These monsters brought by Rhodes, they really hope that Rhodes can give an explanation. After all, these guys don't seem so reassuring.

"The devil?"

Hearing the knight's inquiry, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and his tone unmistakably revealed the superiority peculiar to the arrogant city man when he looked at the ignorant hillbilly.

"If you don't know much, don't talk nonsense, sir. You can't even tell the difference between elemental creatures and demons, and you dare to talk about it here? If you want to slander me for having a connection with the devil, then please show me the evidence. Otherwise, I'll have to ask the Council of Light for an explanation. ”

"You're ..................!!"

Hearing Rod's superiority speech, the knight's face suddenly turned pale. The Reflective Council faction behind them suddenly lowered their heads and laughed. Generally speaking, it is the Kingdom of Light that puts on this arrogant appearance in front of the others, and when they talk to people from other countries, their heads are held high, and even their chins are lowered, as if they are the only people in this world, and the others are hillbillies and beggars. And now, Rhodes made it clear that he was mocking the envoy of the Nation of Light with a mentally handicapped look, which suddenly made the members of the Reflective Council faction feel refreshed in their hearts. In the face of Rod's taunt, the knight grew his mouth, but he couldn't say half a word at the moment. In fact, he can't be blamed for this, because most of the fire elemental creatures are very "aggressive", which is why why Rhodes dared to let Agapy and other sea elves wander around the fortress, but he never summoned them after getting the illusion key of the Burning Plains. After all, although these fire elemental creatures are very brave and powerful on the battlefield, if they appear on weekdays, it will be too stressful. Of course, Rhodes could also choose to summon them out to be responsible for standing guard. But just imagine carefully that there are a row of monsters with terrifying looks and flames all over their bodies standing on the city wall, so how can you look at the scene that can only be found in the castle of the demon king............... In addition, fire elemental creatures do have an inexplicable relationship with hell, and many low-level fire elemental creatures will also fight with the devil, so in legends, when it comes to the devil's army, the shadow of fire elemental creatures is indispensable. However, to bring the fire elemental creatures into the evil camp because of this is completely human subjectivity. The creatures of the four elemental realms are not disciplined, to put it mildly, they are called neutral camps. To put it mildly, that is, if there is milk, it is a mother, as long as it is called, no matter who summons it, they are loyal to their duties and serve their masters conscientiously.

From this point of view, elemental creatures are really labor models.

And the reason why fire elemental creatures appear around the devil in large numbers is not because they like devils more, but because the devil himself has the power to manipulate fire, and it is naturally easier to summon fire elemental creatures. Naturally, a water elemental creature like Agara would have a hard time being kissed by the devil. If anyone came to the conclusion that the water elemental creatures were in the good camp and the fire elemental creatures were in the evil camp because of this, it would really be blind, and in the extremely cold prison of the fifth layer of hell, there were very few sea elves who were responsible for doing things for the devil lord who had been frozen for ten thousand years, but it was difficult for ordinary mortals to go deep into such a deep hell, so it was naturally impossible to know this fact.

In the face of Rod's answer, the knight turned pale, but he could not say anything, and in the end, he could only glare at Rod viciously, and then turned and retreated in silence. At this time, the representative of the Combine Army next to him wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he glanced at the strange "fire elemental creatures" behind Rhodes with palpitations, and then made a gesture.

"So, please ............... over here"

"Wait!"

And at this moment, suddenly, a deep voice sounded, and then, I saw a burly and tall middle-aged man striding out of the crowd, he was carrying a huge two-handed sword, wearing well-made armor, and on the white cloak, you could see a fiery red, blooming flower. And seeing this man walking out of the queue, many people's faces suddenly changed. Seeing his appearance, the corners of Rod's eyes twitched slightly, but thanks to his expressionless face, no one noticed the change in Rod's expression. And the man strode up to Rhodes, he first looked at Rhodes coldly, and then turned around and looked at the representative of the Combine Army next to him.

"As a member of the Combine Army, I think these monsters will bring danger and instability to the entire Combine Army, and I can't let these monsters get off the ship!"

"But, Master Glenn ..............."

Facing the man in front of him, the representative of the Combine Army looked embarrassed.

"My lord said it, it's not ..............."

"I won't believe the lies of Moon's barbarians, I only trust my own eyes!"

The man named Gülen snorted coldly, interrupting the Combine's representative.

"As a member of the Coalition, I think these monsters should be investigated, and this danger should not be allowed to be brought to Winter Castle because of the nonsense of those lowly Moons!"

"Hehe..............."

And at this time, Rod suddenly laughed, he narrowed his eyes, and looked at the man in front of him arrogantly. Then his eyes lingered on the blooming, bright red flower badge on the man's mantle, and then he spoke.

"I remember that the agreement with the Council of Light made it clear that the Combine doesn't have command over me, does it?"

"I'm not interested in the agreement between you and the Council of Light, hillbilly."

In the face of Rod's words, the man also raised his head and looked at him arrogantly.

"This is my castle and I have everything in my hands! Did you hear that? ”

"What if............ What do I refuse? ”

Hearing this, Rod narrowed his eyes.

"Refuse?"

The man frowned, and a sinister sneer appeared on his resolute, rock-carved face.

"You have no right to refuse."

"Then it can't be helped."

Rhodes shrugged his shoulders as the man spoke, and then he lowered his right hand and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Although I don't like to fight a landing battle as soon as I come, but fortunately I have been prepared, as a dog of the Council of Light, it seems that you are really a little undisciplined..............."

And with Rod's words, the scene suddenly fell silent. (To be continued......)
