Seeing the man in front of him, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then he frowned, and looked at the other party carefully——— it was a middle-aged man who looked nearly forty years old, his tall body stood tall and straight on the ground, his brown hair combed back neatly and the resolute granite-like expression on the man's face could see that the man in front of him was definitely not a person who would be easily moved by external objects, he was wearing a luxurious, neat military uniform, and held a silver-white long sword with simple decoration in his hand, He just looked at Rhodes quietly, and his whole person exuded a strong aura like a falcon.

Lauren. Arak, the leader of the Cyan Goshawk ——— the Radiant Dragon's Swordblade Legion.

Rod frowned, but quickly regained his composure. Just as there are good and bad people in every race, every country, and every group, if the scum of the Land of Light refers to the group of fools in the parliament, then the man in front of him can be counted as a representative of the good people. Of course, in terms of faith and politics, he is not at all the same as Rhodes and Moon, he loves his country, guards the Land of Light, and agrees with the Council of Light's assertion that humanity should strive for its own freedom and power rather than relying on the creation of the Dragon Soul. On the other hand, however, he opposes the Human Supremacy policies of the Council of Light, and does not like to see the Council of Light meddling in the affairs of other countries' territories. Especially in the dispute with Moon, Lauren has always been opposed, he believes that the first job of the Light Nation is to manage its own domestic affairs, not to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries in the name of promoting freedom and justice, of course, this is not because Lauren respects the position of other countries, but because he believes that the Radiant Dragon Country is not yet stable internally, and it is very stupid to make enemies outside at this moment. Especially in the game, he was also the first in the Nation of Light to stand up and expect the Council to put an end to its old suspicions. A high-ranking general of the Land of Light who collaborated with the Principality of Moon.

However, people like him are destined not to be welcomed by too many people in the Kingdom of Light, because under the years of unremitting propaganda or brainwashing by the Council of Light, almost every citizen of the Kingdom of Light thinks that they live in a land of freedom and harmony, and they have created and built this free and beautiful country with their own strength, and they have the responsibility and obligation to spread this light of freedom and justice to every corner of the world. All those who are unwilling to accept their good intentions are evil and cruel dictators who must be overthrown and completely destroyed.

And because of that. Lauren has never been very popular in the Land of Light, partly because of his political opinions, and partly because of his bloodline——— this man who looks nearly forty years old is actually a half-elf, he is a hybrid of elves and humans, and his identity is naturally an embarrassing problem for the Council of Light, which "is not my race, its heart must be different".

But Rhodes knew very well that Lauren's strength was really strong, and his strength was even higher than that of the Arashi Sword Saint who was abolished by the little bubblegum before, and he had reached the top level that all mortal creatures on this continent could reach——— the peak of legends. The holder of the Triple Realm. It is also one of the strongest combat power in the country of light, in the country of light, there are only five people who have reached the standard of the triple realm, and it is precisely because of this that the Council of Light will acquiesce to Lauren's words and deeds, if it were not for his strong strength as a backstage, I am afraid that the commander of the half-elf legion would have been removed long ago.

However, in the game, there are very few opportunities for Rhodes to fight him. Because Lauren has led his legion on the front lines against the undead most of the time, although he is very strong in his own right. But after all, it is the level of the pinnacle of mortal dust, and in the face of the existence of the four demon generals who have broken through the boundary, there is still only one way to go, and in fact, in the game, Lauren was killed by the "fallen angel" Shaliye, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death——— but he didn't see with his own eyes that after this, Rhodes led the army of players to sweep through the country of light. The sight of human beings.

"I really didn't expect that it would be the cyan goshawk who drove it in person, which was really unexpected to me."

"You know me?"

Hearing Rod's words, the other party seemed to be very surprised, and Lauren's eyes widened slightly in surprise and curiosity. Looking at Rhodes asked. But Rod didn't answer his question directly, he just nodded slightly, and then said with a blank face.

"I really didn't expect that Lord Cyan Goshawk, one of the Three Holy Legions (Holy Sword, Holy Shield, Holy Spear), would actually do such a thing, do you need me to explain it again here? This is the territory of the Duchy of Moon, and I am the lord of the Duchy of Moon, and that is my soldier. According to the treaty between us, no matter what your reasons or motives, you can arrest a nobleman with the title of lord and his subordinates without the consent and assistance of the royal family of Moon. I want to know, what do you want to do here? ”

Hearing Rod's words, Lauren's face remained unchanged, he just stared at Rod in front of him in silence. In the face of the falcon-like gaze, Rhodes did not have the slightest intention of retreating, he stretched out his hand, pressed it on the hilt of the sword, and motionless to meet the man's gaze. I have to admit that Lauren's appearance was indeed unexpected by Rhodes, which is not surprising, because Lauren did not have the soldiers of the Holy Sword Legion who had always followed him by his side, on the contrary, looking at the outfits of these soldiers, they should be subordinate to the Council of Light's troops, but Rhodes never imagined that Lauren would come together with these guys. He represents the military, and these people are not technically military, right?

Just when Rod was silent, Lauren withdrew his gaze, he glanced at the people around him, and at this time, the man who was speechless by Rode's momentum just now snorted coldly and stepped forward to speak.

"We are here on behalf of the Council of Light to investigate the truth about the attack on the Storm Trade Road!"

“…………………… Huh? ”

Hearing this, Rhodes showed a stunned expression for the first time, almost at the same time, in his heart, millions of grass and mud horses galloped by, looking at these people of the Kingdom of Light in front of him, Rod even forgot his anger for a while, he was inexplicably surprised, and he didn't know what to say at all. At this moment, Rhodes almost wanted to immediately turn into a young bourgeoisie, and here he inexplicably lamented that the track of history really cannot be changed............ He never thought of it. There is still this kind of reincarnation in the dark, and it actually descends on himself?

It's no wonder that Rhodes is so stunned at the moment, in the game, the raid on the Storm Trade Route was the fuse between the Land of Light and the Land of Darkness, when the Land of Light sent an investigation team to investigate the attack on the Wind Tide Trade Road, and then launched an attack on the Soragon Mountain area in the name of this. And it was at that time that the Solagang Mountain Territory was rumored to be attached to the Night Dragon Country, and eventually, the Land of Light sent an army to occupy the Solagang Mountain Land, and the Night Dragon Country also sent troops after this, and the war between the two sides officially began.

But Rhodes thinks that this matter is completely over, after he came to this world, when he helped rescue the Burning Blade mercenary group, Rod used the power of the Seven Loves to get rid of the mastermind behind the attack on the Storm Trade Road. And after this, with the awakening of the Demon Grand Duke, the fat meat in the eyes of the original Land of Light in the Solagang Mountains has now become a piece of rotten stinky meat. Rhodes thinks he has at least strangled all the contradictions that may arise in the history of the game at the source. But now, he'd come across the Council of Light's investigation team investigating the raid on the Windswept Trade Route here? Did they cross over or did they cross themselves? Not to mention that Rod remembered very well at that time, the report of the Fengchao Trade Road incident was submitted to Lydia by himself, so it stands to reason that this matter shouldn't end here? You must know that it has been more than half a year since the incident of Lu Dao, and this group of people are still wandering around the country like this, they are really well-intentioned.

"If I'm not mistaken. This matter is already over. ”

Luckily, this was when Rod's poker face played a role in disguise. Although deep in his heart at this moment, the River Crab Divine Beast and Caonima were fighting earth-shattering, but his surface was still quiet, at that time, Rhodes also vaguely guessed the relationship between the attack on the Storm Trade Road, and the connection between the black-robed mage and the Emerald Tears mercenary group that appeared in front of them later, if he expected it to be true, then this whole thing was completely done by the Kingdom of Light itself. Originally, Rhodes thought that with the black-robed mage being burned to death by Seven Loves, this matter would be over. But he didn't expect that the Kingdom of Light would still hold on to this matter, this is a lack of heart? Or is there something else going on?

The Council of Light certainly doesn't lack hearts, they're just stupid——— greedy stupid.

"It's not over."

Perhaps with Lauren's support, the soldier who was pale under Rhodes' momentum just now reverted to his original arrogance and arrogance, and he sneered. Speak.

"Of course, the Council received Moon's report, but the Council believes that Moon's report is full of suspicions, which is why we are here again on behalf of the Council of Light to investigate the truth of the whole incident! Although this matter has passed, the attack on the Storm Trade Route has brought serious losses and casualties to the entire Continent of Light, we must not allow this to happen again, we must dig out the truth buried behind it, and shine the light of justice again on this world! ”

"The truth? I think you want to find the truth you want to see. ”

Hearing the man's words, Rhodes snorted coldly, he glanced at Lauren with a calm face next to him again, and had a rough idea of why he would appear here, obviously, this group of people must have come here to find the ballast of the Duchy of Moon, and Lauren has always been disagreeable with the Council of Light, and has never been liked by them, this time he will actually participate in this so-called investigation team, but he did not bring his own subordinates, most of the Council of Light can be regarded as a semi-exiled state, anyway, in the Duchy of Moon, There's nothing Lauren can do about it. Rhodes even wondered maliciously if the Council of Light wished that Lauren would make some trouble in the Principality of Moon and be killed. In this way, they have the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone——— not only can they use this to hit Moon, but they can also remove a thorn in the side, such a good deal can be done.

"Humph!"

Hearing Rod's sarcasm, the other party's face suddenly turned cold.

"What qualifications do you dictators' lackeys have to dictate to our affairs?"

"Because this is the territory of the Duchy of Moon, and I am the lord of the Duchy of Moon, and you are holding my people."

Rod's voice gradually deepened, and the sharp sword aura that had been confronting Lauren just now erupted again.

"I repeat, release my men at once, and get out of here. If you want to trouble us. Let's go and file with the royal family first. Otherwise..............."

"What can you do?"

Hearing Rod's words, the man raised his head to look at him disdainfully, while Rod's expression was still calm, even plain and a little indifferent.

"At your own risk."

"What a guts!"

Rod's expression was calm, but the face of the man who heard this changed greatly, and he gritted his teeth. He stared at Rhodes in front of him with wide eyes and cursed.

"You're threatening the diplomatic envoys of the Land of Light, do you understand? You hillbilly! Very well, since you are so ignorant, then I don't need to say anything more, come on, arrest him for me, now I suspect that these people are the first perpetrators of a series of attacks on the Wind Tide Trade Route by secretly communicating with the Night Dragon Kingdom. Arrest him now! ”

Hearing the man's order, I saw that the soldiers of the Land of Light immediately turned around and walked towards Rhodes. And looking at the soldiers walking towards him, instead of showing his angry side, Rod smiled slightly. And with Rod's smile, the sword intent that was originally whistling suddenly converged.

"Not good!"

Sensing this scene, Lauren's face suddenly changed slightly. What surprised him was not the convergence of Rod's sword qi, but the speed at which his sword qi converged. The sword intent that was originally worthy of fighting against himself disappeared almost instantly, and it was completely withdrawn, which was enough to prove the young man's attainments in swordsmanship, but in this, Lauren clearly felt a trace of danger——— although the young man was smiling gently, but as a long-established sword master. Lauren immediately sensed the danger lurking within.

It was a clear, sheath-like killing intent!

But before Lauren could speak, Rod had already moved!

Facing the soldiers rushing towards him, Rhodes's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the dozens of soldiers in front of him with a series of afterimages. And in the face of Rod's surprise attack. Those soldiers were obviously unprepared, they were used to being arrogant and domineering in the Land of Light, even if they came to the Duchy of Moon, there was a Laurenzi, no one dared to do anything to them. But now, they had no idea that this young nobleman would really dare to do something to them! By the time they reflected, Rhodes' figure had already rushed into the crowd!

"Whew!!"

The pitch-black chain sword flew up and down like a poisonous snake in Rhodes' hand, and for a while, blood splattered everywhere, and screams arose. The soldiers were caught off guard by Rhodes' attack, and immediately four or five people lay on the ground, and at this time the other soldiers also reacted. Immediately raised his sword and attacked Rhodes. But in the face of the attack of these soldiers, Rhodes did not flinch at all, he smiled, and the whole person swam like a fish under the attack of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Light, although these soldiers of the Kingdom of Light are also well-trained, but their movements are still much slower than Rhodes, not to mention that the difference in strength between the two sides is very different, and they are not on the same level at all.

“…………！！”

The jet-black blade gracefully pierced the throat of a soldier through the intertwined battle tracks, his eyes widened, his throat gurgled sound, and his hands instinctively grabbed at his neck, but before he could raise his hand, the pitch-black sword flew away like a poisonous snake, leaving only a trace of bright red blood flying through the air. Then the soldier went limp, and he fell to the ground.

For these soldiers, the more they fought, the more frightened they became, Rhodes's speed didn't seem to be fast, but they couldn't catch each other's figures anyway, and the sharp blades only pierced through the opponent's afterimage, and whenever they thought they could hit the other party, they always missed. On the contrary, every time the terrible young man swung his sword, one of them fell to the ground, which made them more and more frightened, and if it weren't for their commander watching from behind, I am afraid that the soldiers would have turned and tried to flee by now.

"Stop, retreat, mage!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, the man was naturally ugly, he gritted his teeth and gave an order loudly, and when he heard his order, those soldiers suddenly retreated as if they had been amnestied, and then saw those white-robed mages standing around raised their hands at the same time, it can be seen that these white-robed mages have undergone strict training, their movements are meticulous, and the time difference is just right, just when the soldiers retreated from the distance, the white-robed mages have raised their hands, and soon, the flames, Thunder and storm roared out of the mage's hands and shot towards Rhodes, and in the blink of an eye, he completely enveloped Rhodes and disappeared.

"Your Lord!!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, John couldn't help but scream, he gritted his teeth, stood up but was soon re-escorted to the ground by the soldiers of the Land of Light, which made John grit his teeth, but he couldn't do anything, he could only see that the place where Rhodes was was bombarded by the magic of those white-robed mages over and over again——— until the snow on the ice field was completely fused, revealing the dark ground below, he finally stopped.

The white-robed mages stopped what they were doing, and there was silence around them. John and the others looked at the ice field worriedly, although they all knew that Dao Rhodes was very powerful, but the mage was not a warrior, in the face of these terrible spells, could Rhodes still be able to resist?

The smoke gradually cleared, and a figure emerged from it.

"Holy Souls on ....................."

Seeing this scene in front of them, many people were stunned.

Rhodes still stood quietly, not even moving, and beside him, a barrier shimmering with ancient patterns kept spinning, and the magical light on it was clearly visible. Although those terrible mana powers bombarded the earth, not even the corpses that fell not far from Rod's side were not spared, but they didn't even touch the corners of Rod's clothes!

"It's my turn."

Rod raised his head and raised the pitch-black long sword in his hand, his smile was still soft, but at this time, many people suddenly felt a chill behind him.

And at this time, Lauren, who had been silent beside him, finally walked out.

"Young man, I admit that you are very strong, but ............ Don't overdo it. ”

"It's not my problem, Mr. Lauren."

Hearing Lauren's words, Rod's face was slightly gloomy, and he restrained the smile on his face.

"I'll say the same thing, release my men, and get out of here at once. This is Moon's territory, not the territory of the Land of Light, although the Land of Light is used to being domineering, but unfortunately, it is ............ This is not a place where the Land of Light is domineering. ”

"Good."

Hearing this, Lauren's eyes showed a little anger for the first time. Then, he slowly drew the long sword from his waist.

"So, let me see how good you are." (To be continued.) )
