Chapter 80: Clouds
"Wait, Sonia."
Sonia stopped, turned around, and saw Andre trotting all the way to her. With a worried and concerned look on his face, he came to Sonya's face and looked at the girl in front of him.
"What's the matter? Andre? β
"Are you really going to do that?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ What do you mean.................."
"As a representative of the military department, go and contact that guy?"
"That's right, Andrei, that's what I intended."
Hearing Andre call Rod "that guy", Sonia couldn't help frowning slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across the girl's face, but Andre didn't notice it, he just frowned, hesitated and said to Sonya: "I don't think it's a good idea, Sonya, you did have contact with that guy before." But have you forgotten that at that time, didn't that guy also used to be bad for you? Saying this, Andre noticed that Sonya's body trembled slightly, although the girl's complexion did not change at all, but this discovery strengthened Andre's thoughts.
"Sonia, I can go to Master Foucault and ask him to resend someone........."
"So, would you like to come with me? Andre? β
And at this time, I saw Sonya, who had been quietly watching Andre, suddenly opened her mouth to ask the man in front of her such a question, and Andre didn't expect Sonia to ask him this question at all, so in the face of Sonya's words, Andre was stunned at first, and then frowned a little embarrassed, and only then nodded after hesitating. Because of this, he didn't notice what was shining in Sonya's eyes. With a little disappointment, the clear fire disappeared into the depths of his eyes.
"Of course, Sonya, if I could, I would definitely accompany you."
"I'm just talking, Andrey, you don't need to be so serious."
In the face of Andrei's answer. Sonia smiled softly, shook her head slightly, and then took a step back.
"Don't forget your duty, Andrey. You're not here to chat with me, are you? Councillor Calester has managed to secure permission for you to come here to help defend the front line, are you going to squander your hard-won opportunity? Remember what you said to me before you left? This is your rebirth, and you will not be crushed like this, but you will have to stand up again......... That's your belief, isn't it? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Of course. Sonia. β
Hearing Sonya's words, Andre also restrained the expression on his face, he looked at the girl in front of him with a solemn expression, and nodded.
"I've never forgotten that, Sonya, and I'm not going to run away from my fate again, this time, no matter what the odds may be. I'm going to keep going. It was the courage you gave me that I will never forget. β
"That's fine. I'm sure you'll be able to succeed. β
With that, Sonia smiled at Andre, and then she turned away.
"Well, then, it's time for me to do my job."
Then the girl replied in a subtle, barely audible voice.
The roaring fire in the fireplace dispelled the cold in the room, and Anne lay on the wooden table. Supporting the table with his chin, he yawned with a bored expression. And next to Annie is the equally silent Bilanxin, but compared to the bored Annie, this senior sister seems to be completely asleep at the moment. She sat quietly in her chair. His hands were resting flat on the heavy black book on his knees, and his head was little by little, and he looked like he was already asleep.
It's no wonder that they seem so bored at the moment, after all, this is a front-line fortress, and there is no entertainment to speak of. Although the military department did not find an excuse to arrange for Rhodes and others to stay in places such as pigsties. But in this kind of place, you can't find any rooms that are too comfortable and luxurious. As a military base, the dΓ©cor of the rooms here is very simple and functional. Even the room where the commander lived was divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside, except for the wooden table, bookshelves, and fireplace, there was only a cold, hard single bed. The other rooms are cramped, with only a desk and bed.
Fortunately, as a mercenary, Anne is used to this kind of life, she has never experienced anything before when she goes out with the mercenary group, and having a bed is already very satisfying for her. Although life after coming here was a bit boring for Anne, as long as she could follow Rhodes's side, it was enough for Anne.
But Rhodes wasn't so idle.
Of course, he understands what it means to be an enemy of an enemy, and a friend is a friend. For the reflective parliamentarians who came to show their goodwill, Rhodes still unleashed a considerable part of his goodwill to win over these potential allies. Of course, he also knew that this battle at Winter Castle was very important for his status and influence in their eyes in the future. Previously, Rod's own influence was confined to the Duchy of Moon, and only north of Parfield. People in other places "only heard the young lord, but did not see him", and if he could have a good relationship with them, it would naturally be helpful for Rhodes's future plans. There is such a good opportunity to brush up on prestige at the moment, and as a player, Rod certainly won't miss it.
Because of this, when Anne and the others had nothing to do, Rhodes and Seven Love were extremely busy, since these people expected themselves to command and integrate the army, then Rod naturally took over this burden. According to their own ideas, the armies on the southern front were reintegrated and distributed. With the 5,000 army he brought with him as the center, he reintegrated and deployed these soldiers. Of course, if that's all there is to it, then there is no need to keep Rod and Seven Love so busy. In fact, this also includes Rod's own ulterior motives...............
"According to the intelligence, those skeletons are getting closer and closer to Winter Castle, master."
With a chuckle full of confidence, Seven Love shook the information in her hand and smiled at Rhodes and spoke.
"How much longer?"
Rod looked down at the sand table in front of him, and when he heard Qilian's words, he didn't even raise his head to look in the direction of the fox-eared girl. This made Seven Lovers stick out his tongue and put on a very hurt grimace, but soon, the fire elemental lord's face resurfaced with his usual smile.
"About two days, huh......... I've heard that the rear can be very noisy now, and it seems that our majesty can't get here as soon as she expected. β
Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows, of course he knew what he meant by what the Seven Loves said. Just yesterday evening, a report came from the front that the most and last line of defense in front of Winter Castle had been completely breached by the undead army. If it weren't for the protection of the Radiant Dragon Soul that made it impossible for these skeletons to march during the day, I'm afraid that Winter Castle would have been reduced to a battlefield by this time.
According to the news from the scouts ahead, there should be about sixty or seventy thousand undead legions attacking Winter Castle this time. What reassured Rhodes was that the fallen angel Shaliye did not appear here, and at the moment he was being held back by Boulder and Slynn on the other side, and he couldn't pull out at all. However, perhaps it should be said the other way around, it is precisely because these two archangels are controlled by him that there is no way for the Winter Castle to get timely support from the War Angel Legionβββ which is another reason why the Council of Light has to hit the idea of the statue of the Holy Maiden of Rhodes.
But in this way, the plan has changed.
Originally, the plan of the Council of Light was to send Lilian to Winter Castle before the undead army arrived, to boost the morale of the soldiers on the front line. But they didn't expect the speed of the undead army to be so fast, which immediately made the Council of Light panic, and in such a situation, they naturally suspended the operation of letting Lilian go to the front line, and instead waited for the undead army to be repulsed, and then let Lilian go to the front line to condole.
On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but after getting the news, some strange doubts appeared in Rod's heart.
If Lillian is just an ordinary little queen, then the Council of Light is understandable to do so. But she is no ordinary human, but the inheritor of the Genesis Dragon Soul, Lillian the Dragon of Light. Under the protection of the dragon soul of light, Lilian should be invincible. In other words, if she can get here, then the Undead Legion will not be a threat at all. The holy spear of the Holy Maiden statue is bombarded by the power of the law of light, and as the direct heir of the dragon soul of light, it stands to reason that as long as Lilian has a heart, she can even wave her sleeves casually to completely melt this group of undead creatures under the power of light, and there is not even scum left. But now, the Council of Light has stopped Lillian's actions in such a hurry, and even protected her?
It's weird............... Why are they doing this? Doesn't the Council of Light know how powerful the Dragon Soul of Light is? Or are they afraid that Lillian will use this to gain power and buy hearts and minds to further shake the position of the Council of Light?
It's not impossible, but Rhodes always feels that there is something strange about it. It seems that in his subconscious, he always vaguely feels that something is not right.
"Knock knock."
And just then, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Rod's thoughts.
"What's the matter?"
He looked up, glanced at Seven Loves, and then asked. Soon, a soldier's voice came from outside the door.
"Report to your lordship, Miss Sonya, on behalf of the Coalition, has come to report to you."
Sonia?
Hearing this, Rod raised an eyebrow.
"Let her in."
PS: I don't feel well, it seems like I have a cold............ Bad luck............ (To be continued......)
