“——————！！！”

The underground worm let out an unwilling scream, and finally fell heavily to the ground, Victor put away his long sword, relieved, he shook his hair, stretched out his hand to pat off the dust on his body——— although the earth worm is not weak, but it is not enough in front of the master swordsman, not to mention that after Marlene and the others turned over to help him, the speed was faster, just a few face-to-face work, this poor little worm died and completely returned to the west.

In this way, the president of the council has been delivered, the task is complete, so what should be done next?

"Mr. Victor."

At this time, Marlene's voice suddenly came from behind Victor, which made Victor slightly stunned, then turned his head and showed a friendly smile to the three young ladies, and then asked. "Miss Marlene, is there something going on?"

"Yes, Mr. Victor, there is a very important matter."

Marlene's face was serious and slightly puzzled, but she still stared at Victor before speaking.

"Rhodes has something very important to ask you about, and I hope you don't hide it."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Victor's eyes widened slightly, he didn't believe Marlene's words, from these days of getting along, Victor had long found that there was a very unique way of communication between Rhodes and his subordinates, he guessed that this should be the effect of some kind of magic equipment or props, but it was definitely not that kind of rare magic props, otherwise it would not be possible for so many people to have them. This made Victor very envious, after all, it is very important to be able to communicate with his subordinates anytime and anywhere, and listen to their reports to make decisions. Victor even had the idea of seeing if he could find a way to get Rhodes to provide him with some of this magic equipment after this mission, so that it would be much easier for him to manage the guild in the future.

But that's for later.

Victor shook his head, putting the matter behind him, and then he raised his head to look at Marlene, although the two sides had not been communicating for a long time, but Victor also knew that Rod was a person who did not like to talk nonsense. Since he had something to ask himself, and he had specially passed on the message through Miss Marlene, it meant that there must have been some progress in the situation——— but he didn't know whether the road was good or bad.

"No problem, what do you want to ask?"

"Mr. Rhodes wants to ask, your guild is going to the Solagang Mountain Territory this time. What have you done? What exactly is your mission? ”

"This ..............."

I didn't expect Rod to ask himself this question. Victor was speechless for a moment, he grabbed his hair, and looked carefully at Marlene in front of him. However, the beautiful young lady had the same doubts and inexplicability on her face, and it seemed that she did not know why Rhodes was asking these questions.

"As Mr. Rhodes knows. Our guild has traveled to the Soragon Mountains this time to gather information about the Mountain Lords' attempts to seek refuge in the Night Dragon Kingdom, and to help at the right time......... That's all there ............" Victor shrugged his shoulders as he said this, there was no need for him to lie. After all, no matter how trusted by the royal family is, it is only a mercenary guild, and no matter how superfluous things are, Her Royal Highness Lydia does not have to complete them through them. Not to mention that if it weren't for the special situation of the Solagang Mountain Territory this time, which could not allow regular soldiers to enter, they wouldn't have used these mercenaries who have been away all year round, so that even if they wear gangs, they can get rid of the relationship by relying on their genuine mercenary status. "By the way, Her Royal Highness Lydia also asked me to send a letter."

"Letter?"

Hearing Marlene's relay, Rod felt his heart beat very violently. It felt as if he had suddenly touched some important clue in the middle of a game, and it was not a logical conclusion, but the intuition of an experienced gamer.

"What letter? To whom? ”

"I don't know exactly what it is, but Her Highness Lydia has ordered me to deliver the letter to a man who lives in this city called the Overseer......... Then I delivered the letter as she had told me, and nothing strange or special happened. So we moved on with our mission. ”

After Victor finished saying this, she saw Marlene whisper something to her hand, and then she shook her head slightly. Then the girl got back on her feet. Quietly staring at Victor.

"Thank you, Mr. Victor, for your answer. Now to convey Rod's words, he thinks that there is a good chance that some rather tricky trouble will happen here, and in order to prevent accidents, it is best for you to evacuate as soon as possible, and we will leave as soon as the number of people is counted. ”

"In such a hurry?"

Hearing Marlene's words, Victor was also shocked, why would Rhodes give such an order? Could it be that something has changed? No, listening to him, it seems that there is a possibility that something will happen, but in this case, should you stay and see the situation? Still is.........

"I see, I'll go and prepare now."

Thinking of this, Victor immediately nodded. Whatever Rhodes had in mind, at least so far, they had completed their mission, and perhaps Rhodes would have a new mission for Her Highness Lydia next. After all, this young man's background is unusual, and he may even be the old and stubborn representative of Dongfang Yamahara, if this is the case, then the next thing is likely to involve palace politics. Victor is not a fool, sometimes he should not know the things he should never ask more, since they have completed the task, then the next thing is not for them to worry about, Rodken informed them through Marlene, in Victor's opinion, it is already a very responsible approach. At this time, what you have to do is not to question and ask, but to execute as soon as possible——— there is nothing you can do anyway.

Thinking of this, Victor quickly turned around and walked towards the corridor on the other side, while Marlene sighed as she watched his back disappear, and then she looked up with a serious face.

"Tell Joey and Lando to get their men in order, and then we're going to get back to the fortress as fast as we can!"

Rhodes put down his right hand, his face gloomy, quietly stroked the mask on his face, and then walked into the passage on the other side of the preparation room, and the guards were a little uneasy when they saw his appearance. But in the end, he didn't do much, after all, the old council leader had already warned them that the man in black with the mask was his honored guest, and as long as Rhodes was not stupid enough to set foot in the venue, then these guards would not be looking for more trouble.

Of course, Rod was not so stupid, and he walked to the entrance of the passage where the guards were next to him. Then stand in front of the railing. Overlooking the room below——— the House of Representatives was seated at the moment, and the old President was telling everyone in the room in his loud voice like a bell about what had been happening, but this was only the opening remarks, and he did not enter the center.

Rhodes didn't pay attention to what the old council chief was saying. He didn't even care about the choice Soragon Mountain Leader had made now, instead, his gaze was wandering around the representatives of the forces below, looking for the source of that hint of unease.

As a result, I didn't know how to look at it, and I was shocked when I saw it. Even Rhodes didn't expect to look at the past, many of the powerful representatives here can be regarded as his former acquaintances, nearly two-thirds of whom he has dealt with to a greater or lesser extent, including his enemies and allies......... And these people all have extraordinary backgrounds.

The two black figures who caught Rod's eye the most were the two black figures sitting alone in the edge seats with his guards, and Rhodes knew them well, Dee Catlaini, the most talented in magic among the vampires, and the birth of this vampire was legendary. It can almost be called a model of a conspirator. He was once a human working as a slave under a vampire archmage, and it didn't take long for the archmage to recognize Di's magical talent and promote him to become his own disciple. Although it seems like a promising job, Dee knows that the other party is just eager to get his own magical blood. But this young man is truly extraordinary, and during the time he served as the Archmage's food, he behaved like a truly depraved human addicted to the urge to suck blood. In this way, he gradually gained the trust of the other party. And in the end, he succeeded in obtaining the highest glory that mortals can obtain——— was given blood by the vampire seed, and obtained eternal life.

But this was only the beginning for the young vampire, who far surpassed his teacher in outstanding magical talent, and eventually, his strength surpassed that of his teacher, who died in an "sudden" magical failure, and then Di stepped forward and inherited his teacher's name and lineage as a matter of course. And finally succeeded in becoming one of the elites of the Night Dragon Kingdom.

He is not only good at magic, but also good at scheming, he can be called half a military division, and behind many large battles, including the Battle of the White Orchid Valley, the Great Defeat of Raymond and the most famous Battle of the Five Nights, there is the figure of this vampire who seems to be no more than a weak crown year, and those battles, the Land of Light has paid a terrible price. The Battle of the Five Nights, in particular, almost became their signature collapse. If it weren't for the fact that Rhodes led the player to suddenly attack and go all the way north, I'm afraid the Council of Light wouldn't have been able to clean it up.

And the death knight beside him is also not to be underestimated, "Viper's Fang" Elena, who is rumored to have been in charge of serving as a subordinate of the blood archmage, has strong swordsmanship, and is responsible for taking care of Di and other humans. Later, Di fell in love with her, but after Di became a vampire, Elena died. Later, Dee digs her up and resurrects her as a Death Knight——— which also makes for a dark romance in the Night Dragons, but when you think about it, the love affair between a vampire and a dead man is really a bit romantic.

But now, none of them are characters to be taken lightly, and Rhodes can clearly feel the powerful necromantic aura coming from the bodies of these two immortals, indicating that they are all strong people who have stepped into the legendary realm, but .........

Rhodes retracted his gaze and frowned, in his memory, this conspirator had been nesting in his mage tower since the successful usurpation, until the beginning of the Second War of Conquest, he won the eyes of the dark dragon and became his right-hand man with the original "Necromantic Reincarnation Circle", how could he run to the Soragon Mountains to lead this ghost place where birds don't? Is it a honeymoon with your zombie girlfriend?

Sitting at the bottom, the beautiful and moving moon elf is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, "Sky Arrow" Corinna, the sister of the queen of the elf clan, is also the head of the "Pegasus Knights", and the legendary level "Bow of the Sky" in her hand is an artifact that makes countless archers and ranger players blush. Not only does it come with functions such as silencing, demon breaking, and increasing the range according to the level of the holder, but it can even echo with the power of the moon to perform a wide range of AOE-like "Starfall Sighs". Look at the whole continent. In addition to this "Bow of the Firmament", only the legendary true artifact "Corona" can surpass it. In Rod's memory, this beautiful elf lady had always been gentle and steady, but now she was frowning, looking at the old council leader on the stage with a somewhat solemn and uneasy face. It seems that she has really matured. Or in the later years of war. And now it seems that although Corinna has also reached the strength of the legendary level, Rhodes has not seen the "Bow of the Sky" that should be inseparable from her, which means that at this time period. This elf lady has not yet been able to become the leader of the "Pegasus Knights" that is famous on the side of the continent.

For the first time, Rhodes felt an unusual emotion in his heart, a sense of superiority that he had never felt before, and he looked at the people sitting under his nose, and for the first time he felt this way—they were still at a loss about their fate, but Rhodes was well aware of their past. They even know their future. He can tell everyone here about their future experiences and growth, even their ends. And they themselves don't know anything about it. He knew that the elf with a solemn expression at that moment, frowning and distressed by the chaos in front of him, would become an eternal legend on the continent in the future. He also knew that the harmless bloodsucking species that looked like a smiling man and beast would become a terrifying being that would lose their fighting spirit when the human army heard his name just by hearing it. He also knew that the dwarf who was grinding his teeth and touching his beard with his mouth pursed would become the king of the dwarven clan in three years. At this time, in this small hall, there are so many dazzling and bright stars that are about to rise in the future, and what makes them even more excited is that they are still ignorant of their future.

Maybe that's why those so-called gods who can see their fate are always one of the higher?

Rhodes enjoyed the ulterior pleasure for a moment. Then he quickly focused his attention on the few figures in the audience that he didn't recognize.

It was an angel.

Angel from the Duchy of Moon.

Rod could see this from the banner behind where she was sitting, and he had an impression of almost everyone here, but only this woman did not. She has a delicate beauty, but Rod doesn't feel any powerful power in her, which makes Rod puzzled. Because angels are born with great power. But Rhodes felt that the angel was very weak——— she closed her eyes, as if she were a blind man, and just listened to the old council leader in front of her.

So, she's the Overseer? Her Royal Highness Lydia asked Victor to carry the letter. Was it given to her?

Just as Rod was thinking, he saw that the angel seemed to sense something. Turn your head in your direction.

“——————！！！”

Almost at this moment, Rod felt an indescribable disgust, and he tried his best to reach out and hold the hilt of the sword at his waist, exhausting all his energy, and then he barely suppressed the killing intent that was about to erupt, and forcibly suppressed it back. He turned his head and looked to the side as if he didn't care, and it took a moment before he calmed down.

It's dangerous.........

Rod couldn't help but take a deep breath, that killing intent came so suddenly, even he didn't expect that the other party was a beautiful angel, and he and her were meeting for the first time. But I don't know what Lu Dao is about, but Rod feels that he just saw an enemy who killed his whole family and was raped by his wife and daughter............... Where did he and this young lady who had never met come from such a big hatred?

If it weren't for Rhodes' rich experience and the transfer of killing intent in an instant, then almost everyone present would have noticed him, after all, there are six or seven legendary realm level existences here, if his killing intent really erupts, in case it is misunderstood by the other party as aimed at them, then there is no good fruit to eat.

But............ Where does this murderous intent, or malice, come from? Since he crossed into this world, he has seen a lot of angels and half-angels, and frankly speaking, it is the first time that Rod himself has seen such an angel that makes people feel disgusted at a glance. But to say that this is the special power of this angel, then why is it that other people do not have the slightest hatred for her feelings? Needless to say, those legendary-level powerhouses. Ordinary humans don't have that kind of concentration. But Rod took a closer look at the guards next to him, and found that most of the eyes they looked at the angel were full of respect and admiration—which was also the most normal look.

Has your aesthetic changed? But it shouldn't be so extreme.

“………… So, about what's next......... The Soragon Mountain Realm has chosen to seek refuge in the Night Dragonland. ”

The old council chief finally stood up.

“……… As President of Parliament, I exercise the right of veto against it. ”

“…………………………”

Hearing this, Ziggy gritted his teeth. His hands clenched into fists.

Failed.

Ever since he saw the old man who should have died appear in front of him in high spirits. Ziggy knew that this time he had no chance, and the veto power of the head of the parliament was absolute, and almost no one could overthrow it. Now I have completely failed......... Ziggy also knew that there was no need to send the letter to Lu, because he himself would soon return to the council and personally report his defeat to Lu.

Damn it!!

Ziegy clenched his fists. Keep your head down.

For what? What exactly will fail?

But at this moment, a voice suddenly remembered and dragged Ziggy back from the abyss of despair.

"Wait a minute, Lord!!"

Suddenly, one of the councillors stood up, his face pale, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembling slightly. He glanced at his colleagues around him and gritted his teeth.

"I ...... Our parliament thinks. Your consideration is not correct and we agree that this proposal needs to be reconsidered!! ”

Hearing this, the old council leader's face changed slightly.

It's not just him, after hearing this, everyone in the Mithril Hall showed different feelings. Di raised an eyebrow slightly. With a hint of meaningful elegance, he changed his posture very gently, like a VIP in the opera house enjoying the climax of the stage play, and continued to look at the council in front of him with a mysterious smile.

Corinna couldn't help frowning. The expression that had just relaxed was now tense again, and Miss Elf looked at the field with a little uneasiness. At the same time, he turned his head sideways and whispered something to the maid beside him.

And the dwarf, who was leaning back in a chair, taking up the position of two people, and sleeping with an axe, was shaking his head from side to side at the moment, muttering something in a low voice. Not only them, but even the envoys from other powerful forces couldn't help but whisper at this moment.

After all, all of them here are representatives sent by various forces to the Solagang Mountain Territory, and of course they know the rules of the council——— the president's decision is absolute. However, in order to prevent monopolization, the decision of the President of Parliament may be reconsidered in one case, that is, if all members of the Assembly oppose it.

Everyone is well aware that seeking the protection of the Night Dragon Nation is not just a matter of the Solagang Mountain Territory, it will involve the entire continent——— which is why the representatives of the various forces are gathered here today. Although they had already detected something from the situation in the Solagang Mountain Territory before, if you don't listen to the other party's clear understanding and confirmation in black and white, then everything is just delusion, not reality.

The old council president returns, but the council chooses to betray?

“…………………………”

The old man ignored the noise around him, he just stared blankly at the councillors in front of him, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh.

"Good, we ............ Reconsider. ”

He almost gritted his teeth and finished saying this sentence, I don't know if it was Rod's illusion, as soon as he finished saying this, the old man who was originally high-spirited suddenly seemed to have been hit by the "aging technique" at this moment, and the whole person was almost haggard and weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The strength that supported him to break through the encirclement and return here, and the strength to stand here seemed to have disappeared. But at this moment, the old council president raised his head again and looked ahead.

"Your Excellency, we hope that you will be able to participate in this deliberation as well."

"No problem."

The angel with her eyes closed stood up and nodded slightly, and then she stepped forward and disappeared into the end of the corridor with the councillors under the complicated gaze of the crowd.

It wasn't until their figures disappeared that Rhodes let go of the hand that had been holding the hilt of his sword.

His knuckles were already white.

The woman.....................

Rod never thought that one day, just hearing a woman's voice and wanting to dismantle her, what was going on?

And also..................

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but glance at the conference hall again.

What's next?
