After that, the whole holy ceremony was held quite smoothly, but the faces of the people in the Council of Light were not very good-looking, and when they participated in the ceremony, they didn't even have the politeness on the surface, and their faces were blue and cold, but everyone in the Principality of Moon smiled with great enthusiasm and happiness. But it is clear to everyone here that this is a face-saving victory, not a substantive one. Being so disgraced by the Duchy of Moon in front of the public, it is absolutely impossible for the Council of Light to stop there.

After Leigh briefly and politely blessed the attendees, the first phase of the ceremony was over, and the group was to move to the platform outside the Dragon Soul Temple to watch the military parade that would take place there. But this time, many people were not in the mood to watch the parade, they were worried and frowned. However, as long as you look at it, you will see that most of the people who make such statements are members of the parliamentary faction, and it is no wonder that although Leigh is essentially a puppet, she is actually qualified enough to take back her own power. Originally, in the eyes of others, this was a collision between the parliamentary faction led by the Council of Light and the anti-parliamentary faction led by the Duchy of Moon, if it was just that, then they could still follow the Council of Light to deal with it. But once the dragon soul of light personally intervenes, then the situation will completely change, they don't dare to fight against the dragon soul of light, no matter how transparent the dragon soul of light is in the country of light, it is one of the creation dragon souls after all, not an object that mortals can fight against, once the dragon soul of light is really determined to regain power, and the three archangels will join forces again, it will be a real headache to death. You must know that in the past, when the dragon soul of light was silent, Lydia could make the Council of Light such a headache, if the Council of Light really made a move. Then add to that the silent Archangel Slynn and the Seraphic Archangel Boulder, and the threat to the parliamentarian faction will immediately increase dramatically!

People are always full of fear of powerful things, and the reason why the Angel Threat Theory of the Council of Light has such a market in the Land of Light, in addition to their ability to incite public opinion, is that the angels themselves are indeed very powerful, and they have divine and powerful power. Long life and beautiful looks. And these are what many humans lack, and it is because of this that they accept the Council of Light, because it can rationalize the envy and jealousy of angels in their hearts, and they do not need to feel guilty and ashamed of it. Not only that, but it will also give many people the illusion that they are equal to the angels——— even if they are as powerful as angels, they have to look at our eyes and act, therefore. We humans are the masters of this country!

But after all, this is just a beautiful dream, and the Council of Light itself knows very well that they created this situation in order to force the War Angels to endure it all the time, and they took the position of the War Angels to be kind and orderly, knowing that they did not dare to do anything too radical. But now the situation is different, if the Dragon Soul of Light intends to take back power, then the actions of the War Angel are justified. And once the War Angel Legion really marches in, then the Council of Light and its supporters ......... I'm afraid the future is worrying.

"I really didn't expect that. I can actually see those guys so unlucky. ”

Sitting on the high platform, looking at the gloomy faces of the people in the Council of Light not far away, Li Jie couldn't help laughing out loud at the moment, although she had a peaceful temperament, but when she encountered such treatment along the way, even a Buddha would be angry. Therefore, Li Jie has long been unaccustomed to the high-flying appearance of the Council of Light. Now I saw them drooping their heads like defeated geese, and I couldn't help laughing.

And looking around, not only Lijie, but also other representatives of the anti-parliamentary faction. At this time, he was also gloating at the group of members of the Council of Light, and it was quite interesting to watch them look like foreign countries. It's no wonder, after all, the Council of Light has been flying around this continent for so long, and it is rare to encounter such a deflated situation. This is good, not only the old council president on behalf of the council in front of Lydia was swept away, tossed for a long time and finally even the money was collected by the dragon soul of light, now their financial deficit can not be blocked, everyone knows that the country of light has begun to decline in recent years, the original financial funds are very tight, originally had to rely on Moon's money every year to fill the loophole, and now this money has also grown wings and flies, now the Council of Light will have a headache, for them, if the Council of Light can't fill this financial hole next year, Then there is a high probability that there is a danger of complete collapse!

But Rod knew that this was impossible.

He was 100% sure that the Council of Light would be able to fill this financial hole.

The Land of Light is an electoral country, and it is a popular election, which means that every four years, candidates from various political parties have to go to various territories of the Land of Light to promote their ideas and win the support of the people. As we all know, this can cost a lot of money. And this fee, the partisan power itself collects a part, but this is only a tenth, not enough at all. And at this time, it is time for the "behind-the-scenes members" of the Land of Light to take action.

That is the Chamber of Commerce and Foundation of the Light Country——— to be exact, the five major consortia.

The Pitt Consortium, the Locktos Consortium, the Dude Consortium, the Manny Consortium, and ......... The Éranic Consortium.

The five major consortia have amassed nearly eighty-five percent of the wealth of the kingdom of light, and they are also the real rulers of the country secretly, and they use their wealth to help those candidates ascend to the throne of the speaker of the council, and in turn, the members of the council of light are naturally subservient to the conglomerates that helped them obtain their current status and fame, and they have to obey the orders of the five consortia, not only that, but they must also be careful, for fear of violating the will of these gods of wealth, Once anyone dares to infringe on their interests, the five major consortia will abandon the unlucky ghost who is not long-sighted and find a spokesperson of their own. Because of this, although the Land of Light is much richer than Moon in terms of light wealth, the problem is that the money is not in the hands of the Council of Light at all. Rather than increasing the tax rates on the Big Five, they must reduce the taxes they pay in a variety of ways, ostensibly in order to create more jobs and retain better markets. But anyone who cares will know the true thoughts of the Council of Light. It is precisely because of this that the annual financial expenditure of the Council of Light is so miserable, not only has to tear down the west wall to make up the east wall, but also has to pull down the bottom and live on Moon's money.

What's worse is that the Council of Light can't attack the five major consortia.

The cooperation between the two sides must also go back hundreds of years. At that time, the Council of Light wanted to gain the support of the people and seize the power of the Dragon Soul of Light in the shortest possible time and the greatest speed, but this kind of thing was useless and also needed a lot of financial support, and because of this, the Council of Light at that time found the five most powerful families in the country of light at that time, and promised all kinds of benefits to obtain their financial and personnel support. In the end, the five families also agreed to the proposal of the Council of Light, and the two sides cooperated happily, and the result was ......... Everybody knows it.

However, the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind. The Council of Light has coveted the power of the Dragon Soul of Light for a long time, but they don't know that the five major families of the Dao are also eyeing behind them, of course they know how much the Council of Light has a greedy desire for power (or they won't have the courage to pull out their teeth from the Dragon Soul of the Creation World), in order to avoid crossing the river and demolishing the bridge after the group of guys seized power, the five major families also started their own plans and actions in the back. And when the Council of Light finally snatched power from the Creation Dragon Soul, they were shocked to find that they didn't know when the Dao was under their connivance. The five major families have completely monopolized all the circulation of materials in the entire country of light. The Alaniks control the grain and minerals of the North, while the Dud family has a complete monopoly on the manufacture of equipment and weapons within the entire army of the Land of Light. The Locktos family swallowed the transportation industry in the Land of Light, while the Piert family controlled all the magic ingredients and spellcasters in the Land of Light, and the Manny family became the leaders in the commercial field of the Land of Light.

From this time on, the five major families have become the five major conglomerates, almost monopolizing the entire industry in the country of light, if the Council of Light wants to take action against them. Then the end will be that the entire Land of Light will fall apart and completely collapse. This also made the Council of Light extremely depressed, they worked hard to take power away from the Creation Dragon Soul, but before they had time to enjoy it, they found that they had become other people's puppets.

But. In terms of their stance against Moon, the Five Consortiums and the Council of Light are the same. Although they are all doing business with Moon and making a lot of money, that doesn't mean they're on Moon's side. Because Moon's core goal is to restore the power of the Light Dragon Soul, and once the Light Dragon Soul really regains power, then it will be difficult for the five major consortia to handle. Now their life is unlimited, and they don't need to pay more taxes to the parliament when they have income, and if there is any loss of investment, they can also let the council rely on their political resources to give themselves a top tank and subsidies, hiding behind the scenes and doing the shady scenes of the country of light, this life is called a comfortable and comfortable life. But once the Radiant Dragon Soul takes power, then their good days are over. When the time comes, they will not only not be able to enjoy the benefits, but will even be forced to make sacrifices. Just like Moon, a consortium and chamber of commerce, no matter how big, is no bigger than Lydia. Lydia said that you have to obediently reduce the price, and if you don't reduce the price, you will be ready to die. And if they mess around and cause losses to the country, Lydia will definitely use the money of their consortium to top the tank, and will definitely not use the wealth in her hands to help others wipe their butts.

The five major consortia naturally know very well that without Moon this year, the finances of the Council of Light will collapse, and the Dragon Soul of Light has already revealed its intention to seize power at this moment, if the Council of Light collapses, then the Dragon Soul of Light will take advantage of the void, and their life will not be easy. Therefore, Rhodes can be sure that the five major consortia will definitely make up for this money to the Council of Light, not to mention, although this money is a big deal for the Council of Light, it is only a drop in the bucket with the five major consortia, and it is not taken into their eyes at all.

Thinking of this, the corners of Rod couldn't help but curl up slightly, and a little smile appeared, the five major consortia are not fuel-efficient lamps, they made a lot of money when they assisted the Council of Light in creating the dragon soul, and since then, the Council of Light has also been very jealous of them, and now they want to pay, it is definitely not as simple as learning from Lei Feng to do charity, Rod can be sure that the five major consortia will definitely take advantage of this to increase their influence and control, which is obviously very undesirable for the Council of Light. However, he faces the threat of the dragon soul of light. If they don't say yes, they have to say yes......... And in this way, the situation in the country of light will become more complicated. He didn't intend to achieve his goal just by inciting Li, maybe many people don't know what kind of person this dragon soul of light is, but Rod can be sure through his experience in the game that this girl doesn't have too many opinions of her own, and she doesn't know why Lu Dao is here. The two archangels who were supposed to assist her did not give her much support, which can be seen from this morning's ceremony, at that time, in the face of Andre's words, Li was obviously shaken and hesitant, which shows that she is still a person who is easily manipulated by others, and Rhodes can be sure that after today, the Council of Light will definitely be more wary of Li, no matter what Li herself thinks. As long as they can think of Leigh as a threat, it's a win for Rod.

"The North Wind and the Sun ..............."

Rhodes lowered his head, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.

There is not just one way to get a traveler to take off their cloak.

At this moment, a loud military horn sounded, interrupting Rod's thoughts, and he raised his head. Looking towards the square under the high platform, I saw a pair of gorgeously dressed soldiers walking neatly. Holding high the flag in his hand and walking forward, at this moment, the sound of military music sounded, and everyone temporarily gathered their thoughts and began to enjoy the military parade of the Land of Light.

The people of the Big Five did not appear on this high platform, because they never participated in such political holy texts. Outwardly, of course, they claim to be nothing more than businessmen and are not eligible to participate in these ceremonies and ceremonies. However, everyone knows that the five major consortia of the Dao Dao are deliberately distancing themselves from the Council of Light, and even if the Council of Light makes a decision that is beneficial to them at that time. No one can accuse the Big Five of doing anything.

Groups of well-equipped soldiers walked in front of everyone, first the personal guards, then the infantry, then the cavalry, and then the trump cards of the Land of Light, the Wizard Knights——— they held spears in their hands, rode tall and strong horses, and walked in front of them with the same pace, like machines, and the heavy, magical armor on their bodies looked even more dazzling in the sunlight. It immediately caused many people to exclaim. The reason why everyone has attracted so much attention is not only that the armor on these knights is hard and mighty, but also because of the war horses under them, those war horses are all tall, more than two meters high, and their bodies are covered with heavy scale armor, not only that, but they can even be seen on the bodies of these war horses, inlaid with a lot of gems and magic patterns, which shows that these tall and strong war horses are not just raised as simple, but are more likely to be the products of alchemy.

After the soldiers walked by, the next step was the military exercise. I saw that the previous armies were also divided at the moment, and they were fighting fiercely in the square below. I saw that this time, it was still the Demon Knights who were in the limelight, although in terms of numbers, there were only more than a hundred of them, but they were quite orderly in their retreat and forward, one advance and one retreat, as if they were a person, even if they stopped at a gallop, they were all one, and no one even left the queue. Not only that, but the spears and shields they held also showed extremely powerful power in this confrontation drill, and one after another magical brilliance roared by, and the others who were beaten were crushed. This scene was also amazed in the eyes of everyone on the high platform. Even Rode's eyes widened involuntarily. Although he was extremely disgusted with the Land of Light, even Rhodes himself had to agree that this Wizard Knights was indeed very good, and if his men could have such a disciplined and strong cavalry regiment, then Rhodes would be happy to heaven.

But unfortunately, the cavalry led by John and them now cannot reach such a level.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, a violent sound broke out, and Rhodes raised his head, only to see that the military exercise under the high stage had already been completed. The hundred knights of the Wizard Knights were lined up neatly, and then the soldiers at the head turned their heads and raised their spears in their hands. And after witnessing their bravery, many people also applauded, and for a while, the atmosphere was very warm. And the old council leader's face, which had always been iron-blue, also softened a lot at this moment, he stood up, came to the front of the high platform, and spoke.

"As you are the Wizard Knights who protect us, your performance is still so outstanding, I believe that you will be able to protect our country and people with your spears. So, what do you expect as the winner of this exercise? ”

But the next scene was completely unexpected by everyone. One of the knights rode out of the procession, he raised his head and looked at the platform, and then the knight reached out and took off his helmet, revealing a handsome, resolute face. He looked up, stared at the platform, and spoke.

"I have heard for a long time the name of Count Rhodes, the mercenary lord of the Principality of Moon, and his brave deeds have also spread in our country of light, therefore, our Wizard Knights hope to be able to personally understand the strength of Lord Rhodes, I wonder if Lord Rhodes is interested in teaching?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
