Faced with Rod's inquiry, Lauren fell silent.

If Lauren had to choose, he certainly didn't want to end there, but Lauren knew that he had to. If the other party is just a slightly stronger nobleman, then Lauren will be arrested if he is caught, and even if he makes a mistake in the investigation, at most he will apologize to the royal family of Moon. But now, Lauren can't do this, of course he can continue to choose to attack, but this young man's performance just now has proved that he is not a vegetarian, and what makes Lauren even more uneasy is that this young man seems to have an endless hole card, that outstanding swordsmanship strength among the younger generation and the pride and self-confidence that dare to face himself If it is still within a reasonable range that can barely be accepted, then the next young man can actually break his triple realm has shocked Lauren, and when he thought that this young man was already at the end of the strong crossbow, three existences with the same legendary primary strength inexplicably appeared around him.

If it's just an ordinary legendary junior, then Lauren just feels a little tricky, although his triple realm has been broken, he still has a certain strength in the current state, at least if he gets serious, he should be able to give these people in front of him an unforgettable lesson, but ————— should? Lauren raised his eyebrows, his instincts after countless battles told him that this matter was not as simple as he thought in his mind, those two petite elf girls, until now Lauren could not lock their breath, although they stood there, Lauren could feel the faint and almost worthless strength of the two from the long sword. But he couldn't feel the existence of these two people at all, and when it came to Lauren's realm, not feeling the presence of the enemy was more terrifying than not seeing the enemy. Moreover, I don't know what the road is. When she saw these two petite figures, Lauren couldn't help but feel a chill running from behind her back, an instinctive reaction of a creature when it was about to face a threat of death.

These two girls are dangerous!

As for the Angel Warrior girl who stood in front of Rhodes and blocked him behind him, although she didn't have the same sense of danger as those two girls, it could be seen from the posture and momentum of the Angel Warrior girl that she had been tested by war for a long time. is a calm and experienced warrior, and the strong divine aura on the battle angel girl also makes Lauren hesitate. He knew very well that whether it was in the Duchy of Moon or the Land of Light, it was not a simple person to have the War Angel by his side, if he had only regarded Rhodes as a young star in the Duchy of Moon before, then now, Lauren had understood that this young man was definitely a figure valued by the Duchy of Moon, otherwise, with his human identity. It's simply impossible to have the Angel of War by your side.

Not to mention that Lydia, the leader of the Duchy of Moon, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this is in the territory of the Duchy of Moon, and Lauren certainly doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. Although the relationship between the Duchy of Moon and the Land of Light is very bad, the two sides are still barely able to live in peace on the surface. And unlike the politicians in the Council of Light, who wanted the Duchy of Moon to be destroyed and disintegrated tomorrow, as a soldier, Lauren knew how important the location of the Duchy of Moon was to the Land of Light, and he didn't want to fall out with the Duchy of Moon because of it, let alone if he could. As one of the upper members of the Nation of Light, Lauren wants it or not. He was also aware of what had happened in the Duchy of Moon lately, and he was vaguely aware that it was inextricably linked to the Council of Light.

At this sensitive moment, I still don't want to go too far——— and who knows what other tricks this young man hasn't used?

Thinking of this, Lauren was silent for a moment. He then withdrew his sword. The two elven girls also took a step back at the same time, and they slid away to the left and right sides like a cloud, standing quietly at Rod's side. And Rod calmly looked at Lauren in front of him, at this moment on his body, Lauren could no longer see the embarrassment and escape just now. In just a blink of an eye, this young man was able to change his emotions so quickly...............

"What's your name?"

Lauren put away his sword, quietly looked at the young man in front of him, and then asked, he had a hunch that this young man was likely to become a force to be reckoned with in the Duchy of Moon in the near future, although it is difficult for a person to change the balance of power between two countries, but it also depends on what position. Now in the Duchy of Moon, there are many young people who have performed well, not to mention Archduke Lydia, even from the perspective of angels, she is only a young archangel, but she shows iron blood and toughness that the previous Archduke Moon has never been. In addition to her, as the heir of the head of the Senia family among the three major families of the Principality of Moon, he is also a magic genius that is rare in a hundred years, and according to the information and rumors obtained by the Council of Light, the commander of the most mysterious and oldest royal fleet in charge of the Moon royal family is also a young man, but because of the consistent mystery of the Moon royal family, no one knows the true identity of the commander.

"Rhodes. Elante. ”

“……………… It turned out to be you............"

Hearing Rod's answer without the slightest emotion, Lauren was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Although he didn't know Rhodes, he had heard of the name of the "Mercenary Lord" for a long time, after all, he and the investigation team had been operating in the territory of Moon for a long time, and it was naturally impossible for the mercenary lord's name not to have heard of it. At first glance, the young man's experience may sound like a legend, but Lauren is well aware that a young man who has been able to achieve these results in such a short period of time is definitely not just a matter of luck and being valued by the royal family. He had also wanted to see what was so special about this young man.

And now, he finally appeared in front of him...............

Thinking of this, Lauren glanced at Rod again, then turned around and walked towards his men.

"Let go, let's go!"

"Your Excellency?"

Hearing Lauren's order, the face of the man wearing heavy armor changed slightly.

"We can't do that, these people probably have something to do with it. If we investigate carefully, we will definitely find evidence of the Duchy of Moon's attack on the Windswept Trade Route..............."

"Enough!"

Hearing his rebuttal, Lauren couldn't help but shout angrily, he glared at the man next to him, and then sighed helplessly. At this moment, Lauren no longer has the anger he had before, on the contrary. He seemed a little worried, and after communicating with Rod in person, Lauren was already vaguely aware of some uneasiness. Although there are not many of these people in the Principality of Moon at the moment, most of them are or will be in high positions, they have the youthful vitality and vigor of young people, but they also have the instability and danger of young people. Once they decide that the Land of Light is their enemy, what direction will things take? In the anti-tourism country, although there are many young leaders among the big conglomerates, they rarely hold full positions. The Council of Light itself is already dying and decrepit, and everyone in the council is "fighting for power and profit" and their own interests, and the young Zhuang faction is very dissatisfied with the conservatives' methods of only caring about their own wealth, and they go around turning the conservatives' old bottom to strengthen their own momentum, hoping to seize power. The conservatives, on the other hand, compete with the young Zhuang faction in order to protect their own rights and interests, and among them, the major consortia do everything they can to get a piece of the pie. Even the military came to get involved. trying to increase their own military spending......... The current Council of Light is completely scattered, and the prestige of the old council leader is rapidly falling. His approval rating in the Land of Light has fallen to its lowest point, but even so, he still does not give up on re-election............... Don't talk about them, just looking at these people around her, Lauren feels discouraged......... Don't they see the situation clearly?

But at this time, Lauren heard a voice he didn't want to hear. After hearing his order, the man beside him did not mean to carry it out, on the contrary, he stood in front of Lauren with a serious face.

"I beg my pardon for not being able to do this, Lord Lauren. What you are doing is tarnishing the supreme glory of the Council of Light, and we will not succumb to any threats of oppression and violence from the outside, and as a representative of the Council of Light, there is no need for me to obey the threats of the dictator's lackeys! You are the guest secretary of this investigation team, but I am the commander-in-chief of this investigation team, and I will not obey your orders, I will tell you that all these people will be escorted back for careful interrogation. If they dare to resist, they will be killed! ”

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

Hearing this, the corners of Lauren's eyes twitched, but before he could speak, Rod's cold voice came from behind again.

"It seems that your subordinates have a different opinion on this."

“…………………”

Hearing Rod's words, Lauren's face changed slightly, he turned his head and looked at Rod, but before he could speak, Rod's hand had already been raised.

"But it doesn't matter, I'm not unprepared."

Then Rod put his right hand into his mouth and whistled.

“——————！！”

A crisp whistle sounded, and then the surroundings suddenly changed.

Figures emerged from behind the snowy hills, appearing in all directions, completely surrounding the survey group in front of them, and the rangers raised their longbows and aimed at the target in front of them. Warriors stood silently on the hills with shields and swords in hand, while behind them, white-robed spellcasters chanted words and their hands shone with the glow of magic.

Besieged!

Seeing this scene in front of him, the corners of Lauren's eyes twitched slightly, and there was even a little more fear in his eyes when he looked at Rhodes again, he didn't know how many people surrounded him, but it seemed that they were ready, but even so, this man had never thought of releasing this hidden trump card in the battle with him just now, even if he was at a disadvantage and disadvantage!

"I want you to think carefully, Mr. Commander."

Rod's tone was flat, even a little soft, but after hearing his words, almost everyone felt a chill inexplicably——— and they couldn't help but shiver, convincing themselves that it was because the temperature was too low on the ice field.

"You, do you know what you're doing?"

At this time, the man finally changed his complexion, the reason why he was so arrogant before, on the one hand, was that he took a fancy to his many people. And in the previous battle between Lauren and Rhodes, the young man's performance was very embarrassing, although there were several flashing performances, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was still fully overwhelmed by Lauren. As for the most reluctant, Lauren will choose to give up for what he wants. He didn't know, but he certainly didn't want to let it go. There are three or four hundred people on hand, including the mage, and it is not a problem to deal with these few people. Not to mention, he also captured a cavalry regiment, why did he have to hand people over because of Lauren's words?

But now, he was finally shaken——— and it was no wonder that whoever it was was to be surrounded by heavy troops was definitely uncomfortable, and the other side seemed to be quite numerous. If he continues like this, then he will be the one who suffers. Although as a staunch Light-Nation activist, he truly believes that he has done nothing wrong, and that the freedom and justice of the Light-Nation cannot be tarnished and succumbed to the threat of evil violence and terror, but when he faces it himself, he has to reconsider whether it is worth it.

But he had already let out the words just now, and he just left...............

"Enough! Russell! ”

Lauren shouted angrily, knowing what the man in front of him was thinking. But he couldn't take any chances. Lauren can be sure that if this stalemate continues. That young man would definitely do it regardless of the consequences, he would definitely dare to do it! After learning Rod's name, Lauren already understood that this young man was not easy to mess with, and before he even dared to let someone abolish the Arashi Sword Saint in front of the representatives of the Council of Light, so it would not be difficult for him to completely eliminate a country of light investigation team here!

"Let's go! This investigation is over! It's time for us to return to the Land of Light! ”

“………… Yes, sir. ”

This time. The man finally didn't refuse again, and in the face of Lauren's angry shouts, he hesitated, and finally took a half step back and bowed his head in response.

And at this very time. Rod's voice reappeared,

"Good, it looks like you've made the right choice. Someone who saved his life because of this should be thankful that his brain is still useful. ”

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

Hearing Rod's words, the man's face changed, he subconsciously raised his head to look at Rod and wanted to say something, but in the next moment, the man's face suddenly turned pale.

An icy chill flickered in front of his eyes, and the elf girl wrapped in the monk's robe withdrew the short blade that she didn't know when the road was on the man's neck, and in the face of the other party's frightened gaze, the elf girl just raised her head and smiled at the other party, and then she stretched out her right hand and pulled down the brim of her hood, enveloping the small and delicate and lovely face in it, leaving only a pointed chin, and then, the girl took a step back, and her body shook in the howling cold wind, Then he disappeared in plain sight.

“……………………”

There was a dead silence.

The man's face was pale and he was in a cold sweat, he stretched out his hand and subconsciously stroked his neck. And behind him, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Light also looked at each other, just now, they didn't even notice when the girl appeared there, her outfit was so conspicuous, it was impossible for them not to see at all, could they all be blind?

"That's enough, let's go!"

Lauren also lowered his voice at this time, he glanced at Rod not far away, and then withdrew his gaze. After stepping into the legendary realm, Lauren had never felt so nervous and frightened, just now, when she saw the girl withdraw the short blade from the neck of her subordinates, even if she was as calm as Lauren, she couldn't help but jump in her heart. Before that, he didn't sense any aura emanating from that girl, killing intent, and movements as if they didn't exist. Lauren even had the illusion that the girl had deliberately appeared in front of her, otherwise, whether she had killed the fool or not, she would not have noticed it at all.

The people of the Land of Light left in disgrace, full of humiliation, anger and unwillingness, but they had to bow their proud heads, they felt that they had been insulted and tarnished the glory of the Council of Light, when was the last time the soldiers of the Land of Light fled in front of the enemy? Seventy years have passed since the humiliation at the top of the White Cloud, and the soldiers of the proud Land of Light have never bowed their proud heads in front of anyone since then. They once swore to defend with their blood and lives everything they had gained, but now ...............

"Hmph."

Seeing the figures of those soldiers of the Kingdom of Light disappear in his vision, Rhodes snorted coldly, he recalled the holy sword card with his backhand, and then walked towards John and the others. In fact, there are not so many people under Rhodes, he just borrowed from the strategy of his ancestors, making people think that he has so many people, in fact, as long as you look closely, you will find that Rhodes's manpower is basically distributed to both sides, and they are standing very far apart, but because the distance is too far, and Rod has specially instructed them to open up the position before, so at first glance it seems that there are a lot of people, in fact, ......... It's all like that.

"Your Excellency."

Seeing Rod walking towards him, John hurriedly stepped forward and solemnly saluted him, he also knew that his performance today was really not good, and he didn't succeed in closing the siege, and he was so embarrassed, he was a subordinate of the lord, but instead of helping the lord, he caused a lot of trouble. As someone who had lived in the South for many years, John certainly knew that the Land of Light was arrogant and terrifying. Rhodes would definitely get into trouble if he did this, in case the Land of Light ...............

"I'm not happy with your performance, John."

Sure enough, at this time, Rod spoke. Hearing Rod's words, John also hurriedly lowered his head.

"I'm very sorry, my lord, but I made a mistake in my judgment, if I could have been careful, then there would have been no conflict, and if you get into any trouble for this, my lord, I am willing to take all the responsibility for it!"

"No, no, no, you're mistaken."

However, to John's surprise, in the face of his self-examination, Rod waved his hand angrily.

"It doesn't matter what the idiots in the Land of Light do, I'm talking about you now, John."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, John didn't react for a while, it doesn't matter what happens to the Kingdom of Light? What about me...............

"You shouldn't raise your hands in surrender in the face of a threat from the Land of Light, John. Maybe you've not been with us long enough, but for now, I'm going to tell you clearly..............."

Saying this, Rhodes was silent for a moment, looked at John in front of him, and then, his voice turned cold.

"My men don't need to bend their knees to the Land of Light." (To be continued.) )
