Although Rod verbally agreed to accept the invitation, in fact he did not intend to nod so easily. The Council of Light wants to hack him, thinking he's so black? Even if it's an online chat to cheat money, you have to let people watch a naked coquettish chat first, really think you're an idiot, just look at the so-called beauty photos of the group of people who scratch their heads and pose in the website advertisement, and send them to the door stupidly?

Although this time Lydia wanted to go by herself, and he had a reason to go, Rhodes didn't intend to let others see this, since the bastards were ostensibly making excuses to "pray" for him to join as if they were welcoming a savior, so show some sincerity. Even if he is a hero who saves the world, he still has the treatment of asking the princess of a certain country to help warm the bed. Equivalent exchange, if you want me to come, put some sincerity in front of me, let me look uncomfortable and then we will talk about the next thing. What the? Do you find it difficult? It doesn't matter, Rhodes has always been anxious for justice and righteousness, anxious about what people are anxious about, and thinking about what people think, for this reason, he has already prepared a series of conditions, and densely listed a large list.

In this, Rod was not polite at all, and the lion opened his mouth decisively. The first thing he demanded was the right to fight independently. Although he participated in the defense of Winter Castle as an assistant, he would not be under the command of the military headquarters of the Land of Light, and the military department only had the right to suggest and not command him, that is, when Rod wanted to fight and what he wanted to do was completely up to him, and no one else could. In addition to this, Rhodes also proposed that he had to mobilize his own troops with his permission, that he had to change the front if he had to inform himself, that he would withdraw his troops immediately if the Land of Atonement was attacked, and so on............... On this piece of paper, there are more than a dozen of the conditions listed by Rhodes, large and small, but this is not the end, or rather. This is the beginning!

Okay, now that the problem of combat is solved, let's talk about the statue of the Holy Maiden.

The Council of Light wants me to take the statue of the Maiden to Castle in Winter? No problem! So let's talk about the price. The Holy Maiden is my personal property, so I have no problem bringing it to Winter Castle, but it is only within my personal use. If you want to get the help of the Holy Spear, or if you want to mobilize the statue of the Holy Maiden. Then it's going to cost money!

If you don't spend the money, you still have to submit an application report to me, and you can only use it after my permission and approval. But let's talk about the ugly words first, if the statue of the Holy Maiden is damaged because of your stupid command, then you will have to pay compensation, as for the price............ One, two, three, four, five, from 50 million gold coins! If it is completely destroyed, then the Council of Light will pay Rhodes a total of 100 million gold in compensation!

Well, that's not all. Combat is about meticulousness, and the slightest mistake cannot occur, so next we will talk about the pension of the casualties, this time Rhodes will lead five thousand soldiers to the Winter Castle, and the casualty pension of these five thousand soldiers will be completely paid by the Council of Light, and not a penny will be missing. As for the price, we can negotiate it, and Ruder Finn is not a person who does not listen to opinions, as long as he proposes a reasonable price that is acceptable to both parties. Then there is nothing that cannot be talked about.

Of course, the last thing is just in case. Rhodes demanded that this contract must be signed under the notarization of the church, so as to completely eliminate and avoid possible defaults in the Council of Light!

It is not unreasonable for Rhodes to make such a request, the church has a transcendent status in the entire Dragon Soul Continent, and it can even be said that the church and the country of law are the real first power in the Dragon Soul Continent, and the country of law is somewhat similar to Switzerland on the earth, and the country of law with two creation dragon souls can be said to have a transcendent status in this dragon soul continent. The Church under its dominance has complete control over the economic flow of the entire continent, and almost all of the Church has a dual function such as a notary office and a bank for financial circulation. On the other hand, it is obviously impossible for any country on Earth to accept that its economic access and storage are in the hands of other countries. But this is the Dragon Soul Continent, and the Creation Dragon Soul is above all else, since even the Dragon Soul of Light and the Dragon Soul of Darkness have no opinion. Then the others, naturally, have nothing to say. And because the church wants to be impartial and independent, whether it is the country of light, the country of night, or other territorial effects, when signing the treaty, the church will choose to do justice. This is particularly true of treaties that deal with the issue of reparations and are transacted by States. Generally speaking, as long as it has been notarized by the church, there is no fear that the other party who signed the contract will repay the debt. It's like the conditions listed by Rhodes this time, if they are notarized by the church, then it means that on the front of Winter Castle, once the statue of the Holy Maiden is damaged or destroyed, then the Council of Light must pay 50 million to 100 million gold coins to compensate.

What if the Council of Light can't get it? It was very simple, and Rhodes could apply directly to the church to enforce it. If the Council of Light doesn't have any money, it doesn't matter, the church will directly collect all the savings of the Kingdom of Light (no matter which side it comes from) and then deduct 50 million to 100 million gold coins and give it to Rhodes.

As for the unlucky ones whose money has been deducted, what to do? The Church doesn't care about this, and the treaty signed at the national level means that the whole country is the person to be executed, and it is just a question of who enforces it. If you lose money, don't go to the church, go directly to the Council of Light for compensation.

Of course, this is not fair, but who said that the Kingdom of Law is responsible for maintaining the order of the entire Dragon Soul Continent, and there are two Creation Dragon Souls? The Night Kingdom did not dare to attack the Kingdom of Law, only dared to find trouble with the Kingdom of Light, and no matter how stupid the Council of Light was, it would not have the idea of fighting the two Creation Dragon Souls. Although before this, there were also many people of insight who thought of breaking away from the financial circulation manipulation system of the church and creating another one to break away from the control of the country of law. However, the kingdom of law has been around since the end of the Creation War and continues to the present. If the entire Dragon Soul Continent is compared to a person, then the country of law and the financial circulation control system of the church are the blood vessels and nerves of this person, and it is not too difficult to remove them.

Big fists are the truth.

To some extent, the country of law is the real ruler of this continent, and the others are scum.

Of course, Rod did not forget his obligations. After all, responsibility is relative, and everything must be fair and just, right? Can't just ask for it without giving, so after the most lucrative he also wrote that he will do his best to help the Combine Army defend against the attack of the undead legion, and work hard for the common peace of all mankind, at this moment, we are all earth......... Wrong. We are all dragon soul people, regardless of race or gender, we all have to face the same threat, and I will definitely do my best to fight for peace, freedom and glory in the continent of light under the leadership of the dragon soul of light! This is for being a dragon soul man, being a living being. As a human being, I believe that under the leadership of the Dragon Soul of Light, the coalition will be invincible, invincible, and completely show the courage and glory of our people of light to the evil undead legion!

After writing it, Rhodes sent Marlene to negotiate with the Council of Light, and at this time he didn't want any political compromise. That's what he wants. Your sister's Council of Light thinks that if Lillian nods, you can step on my head? I'm not going to beat you up. You still don't know why the flowers are so red!

Of course, these conditions that Rhodes took out made the Council of Light angry enough, especially in the front, it can be said that every word is punishing, in fact, Rod was right, the reason why the Council of Light was so enthusiastic this time even did not hesitate to pull down his face. It's counting on taking the opportunity to bite Rhodes. But Rhodes was clearly guarding them like thieves, and each of these conditions was a countermeasure against the stumbling blocks they might inflict on Rhodes, and the naked idea of not trying to figure out the sinister actions of the Council of Light with the greatest malice was blatant. Anyone who reads these conditions will probably be suspicious of the Council of Light. And it's no wonder. After all, many of the conditions proposed by Rhodes are very special and very detailed. It's like two people signing a housing contract, and one person has to specify what to do if the other party wants to poison himself to death. If there is no grievance, who would inexplicably have to write such a thing in black and white? After all, don't kill people, even if you don't make a treaty, everyone understands this truth, and now, Rhodes has to do the opposite, making it clear that he wants to completely expose the Council of Light, as for the next? Let's talk about that!

It is said that the representative of the Council of Light flipped the table on the spot after seeing Rod's conditions, but Rhodes is not afraid, no matter how serious the other party says, he doesn't care if he even says that Rhodes is a sinner in the entire Continent of Light, no matter how the Council of Light changes its tricks, Rod will insist that he will either agree to these conditions, or Lao Tzu will not go!

This naturally made the Council of Light angry enough, and now they finally found out that they were digging a pit and burying themselves in it, originally they were counting on relying on Lillian, Black Rhodes who was a fox behind their backs, but they didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make rice, and now there is no Mafia Rhodes, Rhodes has turned them into an army. It's no wonder, because they didn't expect Rod to be so shameless. The current situation is like in a Hollywood science fiction movie, according to the usual routine, the aliens invade in large numbers, and then the human race suffers heavy casualties, in order to defeat these evil alien visitors, they abandon the barriers between races, beliefs and cultures, and all human beings are united at this time, there are no borders, no hatred. All human beings unite to fight for humanity's own freedom, to prove the existence of humanity!

That's the main theme of greatness!

But now, Rhodes's approach is like in an impassioned joint meeting, when everyone has given up all their differences and vowed to defeat the aliens, one of the parties who holds the key core secret of defeating the aliens suddenly raises his hand and asks to talk about the distribution of benefits and what kind of reward he should get for it, which can be said to be a very shameless and very greedy behavior. This practice will certainly be looked down upon and spurned by others.

However, Rhodes never intended to have any face, players are synonymous with despicability and shamelessness, and as the top player, Rhodes naturally has the most despicable and shameless side. What's more, compared to the scolding wars on the Internet in his time, the powerless roar of the Council of Light doesn't sound like Rhodes is as professional as the actresses in uncensored films, even if they think of themselves as sinners for all mankind? No matter how fierce you shout, you can't hurt half a hair of yourself, and money is the most practical.

The Council of Light, who was dizzy at first, didn't think about handing these directly to Lillian, so that she could see the true face of this man's shamelessness. But at the end of the day, they shrunk. Because these conditions are too sharp, it is clear that Rhodes is preventing the Council of Light from hacking against himself, and he writes so explicitly. What if Lillian also thinks that the Council of Light is trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Rhodes? The relationship between the Council of Light and Lillian is definitely not good, even if before, the Council of Light supported Lillian's visit to the front line, and it was through the old council leader. Because Lillian doesn't like to have direct contact with the Council of Light. Now, what if she sees it and thinks that the Council of Light is using herself?

In fact, the Council of Light is really cocooned to get to this point, their biggest problem is the big quarrel with Lillian before, at that time they actually ignored that Lillian is still a child, both physically, age and mentally, so when Lillian is ready to start taking back her rights, they all start to get nervous, and treat Lillian as a political opponent, but Lillian is just a child after all......... What are you competing with a child?

As a result, Lillian didn't have a good face for the Council of Light after that, because the girl felt that she had done nothing wrong. The Council of Light had obviously wronged her, but they had no sincerity at all, and they had never come to apologize to themselves. And they also want to frame Sister Lydia, and when she thinks of this, Lillian is angry, and she ignores the Council of Light. And the Council of Partial Light has no way to say anything, so it can only admit it. Now they are just careful with Lillian, like coaxing a child, coaxing and coaxing. I'm afraid she's upset. What if Lillian thinks she has unpredictable intentions?

But.................. That's it?

Of course, the Council of Light was not willing to admit it. That's a lot of money! No, it should be counted separately, that's a lot of money! If it really has to be notarized by the church, it will be a headache for the Council of Light, and now the Council of Light is already financially tight, so it can save a little. Whether it's 50 million or 100 million, they won't take it out so easily. Not to mention that Rhodes also needs them to pay the pensions of the casualties............ What the hell is it to them?

They could also change the contract and show it to Lillian and trick the girl, but the problem was that Lillian was going to the front, once she did. Confront Rhodes and it's completely finished. They could certainly say that Rhodes was lying, but just look at Lillian and tell if she would trust the Council of Light or Rhodes. It's all self-inflicted.

And at this time, some other lords and powerful forces had also heard of this, and they were also part of the combined army, so this kind of thing naturally couldn't help them. It can even be said that a considerable number of them are factions of the Council of Light, and the reason why they verbally agreed to the slogan of the Council of Light, the so-called "unite all mankind and defeat the undead army", is to take this opportunity to go online with Rodra. The Council of Light wanted to invite Rhodes to join the front line defense of Winter Castle not just for Lilian, in fact, they did intend to organize a combined army against the invasion of the undead legions, but the problem now is that no one has the strength and prestige to rally them together. Of course, the Kingdom of Light itself can't, just look at their appearance of defeat and retreat, if they let the Kingdom of Light dominate, I'm afraid no one will dare to come. They themselves lost so badly, so didn't they die worse under their command?

It is precisely because of this that the Council of Light thought of Rod, although there are still many conspiracy theories about Moon in the Kingdom of Light, but only the people in the Land of Light, who have been brainwashed and washed into idiots by the Council of Light, will believe it. People elsewhere are not so stupid as to believe such stupid rumors. On the contrary, Rhodes's story of repelling the undead legions one after another in the Land of Atonement and annihilating hundreds of thousands of undead armies is widely spread in the rear. And as long as Rhodes is willing to join, then the Combine Army will naturally have a lot of confidence, and even some lords will choose to agree to join the Combine Army when they see Rhodes joining.

But of course, they also know the problem between Rhodes and the Council of Light, there is such a big trouble in the Dragon Soul Sacred Codex, as long as they are not deaf and blind, everyone knows that Rhodes and the Council of Light will definitely not deal with each other. Because of this, they were particularly concerned about how the Council of Light invited Rhodes to participate. And in such a situation, it is naturally not difficult to get the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" between Rhodes and the Council of Light.

And after seeing the conditions that Rhodes proposed. Many people and their little friends were stunned! They didn't expect that Rhodes would be so naked, so unsympathetic, and put everything on the table directly! As for the impassioned remarks he wrote later, there is nothing wrong with them if they are only viewed separately, but when they are viewed together with the conditions proposed by Rod before, it is quite ironic.

Of course, there are also those who think that Rhodes's approach is too ......... Be cautious. Anyway, this is also a Combine Army, where everyone is united against the undead, but now that you're doing this, what do you think of the rest of the people? However, there are some people who secretly snicker, they also understand that this time the Council of Light and Rhodes are so disagreeable, and it must be a conspiracy to invite him, but they didn't expect Rhodes to give the Council of Light such a big embarrassment, and they even coaxed him on the side. If Rhodes doesn't come, then they won't be part of this combined! Anyway, they joined the Combine Army to go to Rhodes, and if Rhodes doesn't go, they won't send them to death!

And what makes the Council of Light even more troublesome is that most of the forces that support the Council of Light have remained silent at this time, originally they expected these people to stand up and create pressure on Rhodes, but they didn't expect them to be silent this time. Without saying a word, this can also be seen. They were obviously a little disappointed with the Council of Light at the moment.

Originally, they hoped to negotiate with Rhodes on his terms, but soon, the Council of Light had to make a decision——— because Lillian had heard some rumors and began to ask what was going on in the council!

If she continues like this, I'm sure she'll get the news from somewhere. By that time...............

Thinking of this, the Council of Light had no choice but to nod in agreement, but they were not willing to be defeated in such a gloomy way, so they fought back. In turn, he made a request to Rod, that is, he must ensure that he can defend the defense line of Winter Castle! If you can't do it, hum, don't think we're easy to bully!

In this regard, Rhodes said, there is no problem, but in this case we will talk about the commander-in-chief of the combined forces.........

The Council of Light shrank suddenly.

They don't dare to give Rhodes this power, most of the people who participated in the Combine this time are still the powerful territories of the Council of Light and the support of the Council, if Rhodes takes the opportunity to make a ghost and bury their army here, then what's the point of holding this line of defense?

In fact, Rhodes also fought this idea, if the Council of Light really drew his brain to give him the commander-in-chief, then he would have to completely toss and collapse the army of the Council of Light even if he died millions of brain cells, so that he would be able to encounter less resistance when attacking the Kingdom of Light in the future.........

It seems that Rhodes and the Council of Light really want to go together. Because for them, their real enemy this time is not the army of immortals.

In the end, the Council of Light could only nod helplessly and agree to all of Rod's requests, and the representatives of both sides signed the agreement under the notarization of the church, and then the matter finally came to an end. It's just that the Council of Light can't afford to toss anymore......... The Undead Legion doesn't care whether they negotiate or not, they are still slowly moving forward, and if they continue to fight with Rhodes, I am afraid that when they finish their discussions, Winter Castle will also be lost, and the Combine Army will be even more of a joke.

But even so, the Council of Light still did not give up, and when they signed the agreement, they demanded that Rhodes exactly follow what the agreement says, that is, there must be no one less than five thousand soldiers and the Holy Maiden, otherwise............ Hmph......... They can also simply annul the previous agreement on the basis of breach of contract! Not only that, but they can also take the opportunity to use this as a basis to strike at Rhodes, and at that time, it will be up to them to see who can really laugh at the most remarkable!

The Council of Light is not really stupid, they have also done surveys before, and judging from Sonya's report, there are not even two thousand soldiers under Rhodes, they want to see where Rhodes will find five thousand soldiers to fill the vacancy!

Marlene also asked Rod this question, because she didn't know where Rod was going to find five thousand soldiers, and the few people in his fortress were currently less than two thousand soldiers, so where would the rest of the people come from?

However, Rod's answer surprised Marlene.

"There's no need to pull troops from us, Marlene, I'm not going to let my lovely men die for the sake of those idiots in the Land of Light."

"Then Rod, where are you going to recruit five thousand soldiers?"

Faced with Marlene's curious question, Rod only raised an eyebrow.

"Don't worry, I have my own way."

Then, he replied confidently. (To be continued......)
