Chapter 363: The Threat of Madness
"I didn't think you would do that, we always thought you were a very rational person, Your Majesty Rhodes."
Higgle looked at Rod in front of him with a solemn face. Rhodes didn't hide the slightest hint of the previous battle, not to mention that the movement of that battle was so big, Alice and Barende were both at the pinnacle of the order realm, and the battle between them almost shook the order of the entire Dragon Soul Continent, if Nalayah and Shigal still ignored this, it would be really hell, and because of this, they even left the country of law and came to Grantia to talk to Rhodes about it.
But even so, Rod didn't mean anything polite.
"So what? That bastard Ion sent two people to my territory to step on the field, and I should let him get over without knowing it? As he spoke, Rhodes spread his hands and frowned, staring at the twin dragons with scrutinizing eyes. And Xigel's face couldn't help but change slightly, but she still didn't say anything more in this regard, but continued to speak: "It's true that we are not against war, but Your Majesty Rod, it has not happened for many years that the Divine Dependents have died in battle............ If you do that, the consequences can be very, very serious. Perhaps, you don't realize the seriousness of the matter? β
"When Shariye fled to the Night Nation out of despair of the pigs in the Council of Light, did you say the same to the Dragons of Light?" Rod glared at Siegel coldly, "I thought that the country of law should always uphold a position of absolute neutrality, but now it seems that maybe I have misconsidered?" β
"What you do will risk provoking a war, and this is not a wise choice."
Hearing Rod's rhetorical question, Seagel was still calm and spoke very helplessly. But Rhodes apparently scoffed at her explanation.
"You should have said this to Ion when he invaded the Land of Light. And not me, Your Majesty Shigal. And I don't think you should be here now, maybe after that, you'll stop by and take a trip to the Night Country? Rod stared into Higal's eyes, not intending to look away. And hearing Rod's sarcasm, Seagel finally changed his face this time. She could hear that Rhodes was completely sarcastic that he and the others would only pick and pinch softly, if they were really neutral, then now it was best to go to the Night Country to accuse Ion of not making provocative moves again, instead of coming here to accuse himself of being too defensive. However, Shigal sighed and hurriedly explained.
"Sister Nalaia has gone to the Night Country, and of course we will warn His Majesty Ion."
"When I go to him, it's a warning, and if I am it, it's a warning? Your Majesty Shigal, do you think that our Void Realm is not a country and easy to bully? β
"That's not what I meant, Your Majesty Rod."
This time, Shigal finally couldn't help it.
"I just hope you'll think about it. At present, your Void Lord, even if it unites with the Realm of Light, is no match for the Night Realm, and once war breaks out, ..............."
"So what?"
"Huh?"
Perhaps it was because Rod's tone was too relaxed, but it caused Seagel to be stunned, and she looked up at Rod in surprise, as if she didn't understand what he meant. In the face of Seagel's surprised gaze, Rod spread his hands and made a relaxed look.
"Indeed, the waste of the Land of Light has been almost killed. The Void Realm has not yet developed. But so what? The Night Nation can allow their damned legions of millions of undead to tample every corner of the Void Lord, killing everyone in the Void Realm and the Continent of Light. Even if there isn't a living person in my realm, I can guarantee that I'll unscrew the Dark Dragon's head and hang it in my study to admire it at any time. What if all my people die? Well? His Majesty Shigal? I sheltered them, gave them land, food, and all I needed was for them to fight for me. I'm pointing to the place where they should take up their arms and charge, whether it's the devil, the demons, the undead legions, or whatever else the hell is there. Isn't that what I'm raising them for? Otherwise, why would I have to spend all day in Grandia worrying about the taxes, food, land, education, and health of these guys? Am I not able to do anything when I am full? I shelter them, and they will fight for me. Die for me, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. β
"But war can lead chaos to take advantage of ..............."
"Chaos has taken advantage of it, and if I remember correctly, we didn't start that damn war! And I hope you don't forget who sent those bastards back to their hometown, it's not Nightland's job to get rid of them, well, while I admit that Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess has done a bit of a job, but other than that, I don't see what that bastard of Ion says! Well? Your Highness Shigal, perhaps you have forgotten what he said when he sent out to the Land of Light? β
Rod slapped the table and interrupted Shigal's speech, and he stared at Shigal like this, and a brilliant and dazzling smile gradually appeared on his originally expressionless face, full of youthful vitality and sunshine.
"He provoked, I shot back, it's as simple as that. If he dares to send an army, then I will go directly to the Night Capital, and I want to see what the Night Kingdom will use to fight me after I kill the Dark Dragon and his four demon generals. Your Majesty Shigal, please remember this, I don't want to reason with you here, because you are not here to reason with me. Want me to focus on the big picture? Okay, so please kill the most volatile factors first, and then I think we have a lot to talk about. Saying this, Rod suddenly narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. Oh, by the way, maybe one day I will send a few people to the Land of Night to see the scenery, hoping to get the warm hospitality of His Majesty Ion. And I want you to remember where the land that the Night Nation now occupies originally belonged. β
Things have reached a very serious point.
Irene put down the information in her hand, her face pale. Among the four demon generals, Esvile died, and Barend barely escaped with a broken arm, the news has spread throughout the Night Realm, and now the Death Knight has fallen out, and many people have asked to send troops to the Void Territory to avenge His Majesty Barende. The vampire side is mired in chaos and civil war, and with Eswell's death, her original plan to suppress the old nobles and promote the new nobles to the throne is completely over, and now the struggle between the vampires has become white-hot. The old aristocrats who had endured it for many years began to turn over and call the shots, while the newborn aristocrats who had finally tasted the sweetness gritted their teeth and fought to the death. Every day, Irene hears the news of a Kindred disappearing somewhere in the Night Cityβββ and the occasional appearance of burning sparks speaks to the truth of all this.
The Land of Night is in chaos like never before.
It's not that Irene can't understand this, and it's no wonder that after so many years of the establishment of the Night Country, there have never been a few Four Demon Generals who have been "sacrificed" like this. What's more, this is not even a war, and Irene can't help but worry when she thinks of this, as early as when Barend came to find her and ask about the Void Realm, Irene had such worries. But now, the worry had become a reality, and she had calmed downβββ at least the great luck of the misfortune was that Barende had at least come back alive, and although he had broken an arm, he was still alive. This is a bit of comfort to Irene, if Barend also dies, then it is certain that the undead army will march into the Void Realm even without Ion's orders, and then it will be a full-scale war. Thankfully, the worst didn't happen, and Barend escaped, rejecting all of his men's proposals to march into the Void Realm for a retaliatory war.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the situation will be even more difficult to manage.
It's not much better now, though.
The result of this attack shocked the other two demon generals, they were not surprised that Esvile would die, because Esvile herself was the weakest one, and she had been abolished before, and she was rushing forward, and it was not surprising that a person like Esviel, who was at the bottom of the four demon generals, would die. To their surprise, Barend was unable to escape with his whole body, and even broke an arm. This is the main part that shocked the four demon generals. is only fifty different from Eswell's kind of force, in terms of combat effectiveness, Barende is the first of the four demon generals, Garcia needless to say, even Sharia is not his opponent, he can be called the strongest person in the country of night, and he was beaten so badly, it was really unexpected.
However, for Barend, it was completely his luck to be able to come back, when fighting with Alice, Barende almost tried his best to create a spatial passage that was enough to leave under Alice's oppression, but he didn't expect Alice's reaction to be very fast, almost at the moment when the spatial passage was formed, she began to try to close the road, if it weren't for Barend's instant decision to use one of his hands to attract Alice's strength and quickly close the sound at the same time, I'm afraid that the number of people who will mourn will become two at this time.
"Hoo ..............."
Irene held out her finger to her forehead, and at the moment she only felt a pain in her head, and she could almost imagine how her brother would react when he got the newsβββ which was almost the last thing she wanted to see.
But now, all Irene can do is pray and wait. (To be continued......)
