Chapter 606: Angels and Dragons (I)
Rod's worries have a basis in reality, because until now, the forces of the main plane have been basically excavated by him, from elves to dark elves, from dwarves to half-beasts, there is basically no race that Rhodes has not mobilized. This is also what he has no other way, because this time Chaos is an all-round attack, so it is impossible for him to summon people from other planes to help like before. Although Christie and Seven Love had said that they could find someone from the Seven Illusions and the Elemental Plane to help them on the Main Plane, Rhodes finally rejected their offer after much consideration. The previous experience of participating in the trial ritual in Irene and going to the water elemental realm later had made Rhodes know that other planes were not safe now, and that each place needed enough strength to defend against the erosion of Chaos. If the power of other planes is withdrawn, then even if the main plane is defended, there will be problems elsewhere. Especially in such an important plane as the four elements, there can be no problems.
But now, Jia Ling actually said that he had a way to find a force that was enough to compete with the bone dragon, which did surprise Rod a little. It's just that in the face of Rod's inquiry, Jia Ling didn't say much, but said that this matter should be prepared to see the situation before talking, and then said goodbye and left. And in the face of such a situation, Rod and Lydia had nothing else to say except to look at each other.
But then again...............
"Your Highness Lydia, do you know what Garling is going to do?"
Rod put down the teacup in his hand and looked curiously at the archangel in front of him. After that, Rhodes temporarily stayed on the frontier front of the Land of Light. After all, this line of defense is more fragile than the others, and the soldiers here are the least reassuring. But Rhodes can also do things that Lydia can't do here -- like kill them all from behind when someone is trying to escape............ He did this without any psychological pressure.
By the way, most of the soldiers who had fled because they couldn't withstand the pressure were captured, and those who fought to the last were transferred to the second line of defense to rest. As for the deserters, they were placed at the forefront by Rhodes. It is guarded by the players in a team, and if they dare to run away again, then not only will they be killed, but they will also have to kill the nine clans and the whole family. Rhodes didn't bother to appease these idiots now, since they were so worried and frightened. Then just make them more afraid, and if these people dare to rise up and resist, they don't need to kill them all. Labis may not know that there are still a lot of necromantic alchemy waiting for Sarah, if these people are really so stupid, then they will all be pulled and transformed into undead, and they are more obedient than humans, right?
In order to block the chaos and make his plan go smoothly, Rhodes didn't care how many people's blood would be stained on his hands. As long as he can succeed, he will not hesitate to pay a price.
This is the kind of thing that Lydia and the War Angel Legion can't do. Lydia is ruthless, but she is also targeted, and only those who have sinned deeply will be punished severely. It's just that the values of angels are different from those of human beings, and the perspective of "deep sin" is also different, so there is an illusion that Lydia is ruthless in the folk.
But Rhodes is different, he adopts a system similar to the one in the army where one person makes a mistake and the whole class is unlucky, and at such a critical moment, as long as someone makes a mistake. Then everyone who has a relationship with him, whether they are related or not, will be unlucky. He also knew that this was not a long-term solution, but Rhodes did not intend to do it in the long run. As long as it can survive this period is enough. This is the gap between him and Lydia, and although Lydia doesn't agree with Rod's approach, she doesn't say much about the overall situation. After all, she also knew very well that it would not work if she continued like this. And if you can't do this kind of thing by yourself, you can only rely on Rhodes.
"I don't know. To be honest, I have never paid much attention to the Dongfang Mountain Plain. ”
In the face of Rod's inquiry, Lydia showed a somewhat helpless wry smile. Then he answered. As Lydia said, the place itself is very closed, and they basically don't have any problems, which also leads to Lydia not very involved in the Oriental Mountain Plains itself, and there are many secrets in this place, although Lydia has been ruling in the Duchy of Moon for several years, but she knows very little about the secrets in the Oriental Mountains. In fact, even Rhodes didn't dare to say that he knew all the secrets in the Eastern Mountains, because it was too mysterious. What's worse is that this kind of mystery is not the kind of thing that makes players care more about digging when they mention a certain taboo, but the kind that is inadvertently hidden in daily life, and the average player can't guess it at all, and even sometimes unless they explain it themselves, players still think it's just part of their daily activities............ Rhodes remembers very well that there is a ritual of circumnavigating the mountain in the Eastern Mountains, and the player needs to take a handful of incense from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, called "The Road of Exploration" or something......... You can't even talk about it.
So now Garling said that there may be a way to solve this problem on the side of the Eastern Mountains, but Rhodes doesn't know what way she can find, at least for now, the warriors in the Eastern Mountains have also been launched, although under the encirclement of the Kingdom of Law, the Kingdom of Light, the Kingdom of Night and the Void Lord, Moon itself is unlikely to be attacked by Chaos, but Lydia still mobilized most of the warriors of the Principality of Moon to the border areas sent to the Land of Light to defend with Rod's player group. It stands to reason that there should be nothing particularly hidden in Dongfang Mountain now.
But since Jia Ling said so............ It's hard to say............
"It seems that we can only wait here, and I hope that the chaos will not come to us again during this time."
Seeing that Lydia didn't know, Rhodes didn't say anything more, just shrugged his shoulders, and then poured himself another cup of tea. And at this time, he noticed that Lydia looked at him, and there seemed to be something abnormal.
"What's the problem? Her Royal Highness Lydia? ”
"It's not a big deal............... It's just ........." said here. Lydia blinked slyly, and there was a bit of playfulness in those bright eyes. She looked at Rod in front of her, and then the corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a somewhat weird smile. “……… I don't know if it's an illusion, Majesty Rhodes, your relationship with Irene seems to be very good lately. ”
"Oh...............?"
Hear here. Rod raised an eyebrow and responded quietly. In fact, his relationship with Irene has indeed changed, after Rhodes used the Plane Destruction Bomb to destroy the chaos outside the Night Realm and create a Void Storm, Irene mobilized most of the remaining garrisons of the Night Nation to other places attacked by Chaos, and with the good relationship between her and Lydia, it is natural that she will contact her frequently. Of course, since this matter needs to be coordinated by all the dragons of creation, Irene also meets with Rod. After the trial. The relationship between Irene and Rhodes has not been determined, because both parties are very busy, so naturally they have no time to fall in love. But Irene is also a girl after all, and she naturally has a high desire for this aspect when she first tastes it, not to mention that now facing such trouble, everyone is under a lot of pressure and needs to vent. Therefore, Irene will also ask Rod to make a few shots in private, and Rod is naturally welcome to this. It's just on the surface. He didn't show how special he took care of Irene, not because Rhodes was afraid that the privacy between himself and Irene would be exposed. Rather, you need to take into account the harmony of your own harem. After all, everyone is busy now, everyone is doing their best for Rod's plan, Ireen certainly needs to be taken care of, and the others are not the same. If Rod is just good to Irene and ignores others, then it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leave an impression in the hearts of others that he "likes the new and hates the old". And if Rhodes doesn't want such a situation, then he has to treat everyone equally--but the problem is that there are so many in Rhodes' harem. If he really wants to treat everyone equally, then before Chaos destroys the Miè Dragon Soul Continent, he is afraid that he will be exhausted.
You must know that the current Rhodes has even dispersed the power of the Void Dragon, leaving only the attributes that belong to the player, and no matter how good his waist is, it is not so tossed.
So it can't be helped. Rod had to try to downplay the connection between himself and Irene, at least not to the point where they were stuck together like a newlywed honeymoon. And Ireen is not stupid, she naturally knows that now is not the time to do this kind of thing, so she is also very restrained, and because of this, under the restraint of both sides, no one actually found this problem. But what Rhodes didn't expect now was that Lydia noticed the clues?
No, Rod remembers that after he had a relationship with Irene, the number of times they and Lydia saw each other could be counted with the palm of one hand, and Rod thought that he was normal in front of other people, could he be seen in this way? Could it be that this archangel can still read minds?
However, Rhodes was a little unsure what the archangel was planning to do at this time, so he didn't respond quickly, but decided to respond to all changes with no change, and first look at Lydia's statement. Hearing Rod's response, Lydia didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and then turned her head to look out the window.
For a moment, there was some silence between the two. Lydia entertained Rhodes' tea party not on the ground, but in the flagship of the floating ship. It's no wonder, after all, the ground is now completely devastated and completely unsuitable for enjoying the scenery. But the floating ship is different, and although the flagship is commanded by Garling, the real owner is Lydia. It can be seen from the luxurious and comfortable decoration at the moment, with exquisite ceramic tea sets on the ebony wooden tea table, a soft and cool breeze blowing outside the open glass, and a soft and comfortable fur carpet on the floor -- as far as the eye can see, this place does not look like a captain's room, but more like a VIP room.
Lydia doesn't speak, and Rhodes doesn't speak, if it's his harem that asks this question, then he naturally has something to say, after all, it's a related party no matter how you say it. But as Lydia, if he asks this question, then he won't say it so lightly, although Rod knows that Lydia and Irene have a very good relationship, and they can be regarded as best friends. But girlfriends are only girlfriends after all, if they haven't been in the same bed, then when it comes to personal privacy, Rod won't let Lydia talk so easily. So in the face of the hints of the archangel. Rhodes also pretended not to know anything, and did not intend to talk more about this. After all, more words are more wrong, less words are less wrong, and Rod still understands the truth if he doesn't say it is good.
"I really didn't expect Irene to become a dark dragon, to be honest. I never thought she would be where she is today. ”
After a moment, Lydia broke the silence again, she quietly looked out the window, her slender white fingers caressing the edge of the black tea cup, and her beautiful face was a little melancholy. Hearing this, Rod shrugged his shoulders.
"But now, Lady Lydia, aren't you the same? You may not have become a dragon of light, but you still hold the power of the kingdom of light. ”
"yes, that's something I didn't expect at all..............."
With that, Lydia turned her head. For the first time, those eyes looked straight at Rod.
"Ever since I met His Majesty Rhodes, you've really given me so many surprises that I can't imagine. Without your help, Irene would not have become a dark dragon, and without your support, Lilian would not have made up her mind to make that choice..............."
"I'm just trying to do what I can, Miss Lydia......... It's just that sometimes I don't want to do it that way. ”
Before he knew it, Rhodes began to address Lydia as "Miss" instead of "His Highness". In fact, Lydia was heard. He also couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, thinking carefully about the fact that he had just come to this world. At that time, he simply wanted to live and help Moon change the fate of the ruined Miè. And then? What will it become later? At that time, Rod didn't think about it at all. But now everything is different, not only has he become the Void Dragon, but he even shoulders the fate of the entire Dragon Soul Continent -- if someone said such things to him at the beginning of Rhodes' crossing, then Rhodes would definitely think that he was a psychopath. After all, even in the later stages of the game, when Rhodes crossed over, their goal was simply to defeat the Void Dragon. It proves that the Starlight Guild is still the first guild of the Dragon Soul Continent, as for what the future of the Dragon Soul Continent will become......... Such a distant question, Rod had never considered.
But now, before he knew it, he had become the leader of the entire Dragon Soul Continent. And now, he is going to take the Dragon Soul Continent through space and go to another world to find a safer and more peaceful life. Such an identity change, Rod had never thought about before.
Moreover, it is not only yourself who changes your fate, but also everyone else.
Lijie did not die in the plane crash of the floating boat, and Marlene also broke away from her original destiny and even awakened to become the Six-Pillar Demon God. Irene went from being a princess of the moon to being the queen of the moon, and Anne was also transformed from an ordinary little mercenary to the son of an elemental lord. The fate of the people around him has been changed one by one, Rod had never thought about this problem before, but this time he was so emotionally sighed by Lydia, and he suddenly found that he had done so much unconsciously.........
If this is regarded as a huge scene mission, does it mean that after you successfully bring the Dragon Soul Continent to the solar system, the mission will be over?
But after this task is over, will it be easy for you? The threat of chaos is gone, but what about the future of the Dragon Soul Continent?
Thinking of this, Rod suddenly felt a little bored. He could imagine that even if he went to the solar system, it didn't mean that the Dragon Soul Continent would be able to live a peaceful and peaceful life. Maybe sooner or later he will have to deal with the earth as a Void Dragon, and the thought of this makes Rhodes a little unmotivated, this feeling -- maybe similar to the kind of desperate work to complete the final exam, only to face piles of vacation homework before he can feel comfortable for a few days.
"The sapling will one day grow into a towering tree, but it will also bear fruit and scatter seeds on the ground. Mr. Rod, I don't think you need to be in such a hurry............... Do you understand what I mean? ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Rhodes was a little puzzled, he raised his head and looked at Lydia curiously. Although Lydia said that he was used to this style of speaking like prose, this time, Rod always felt that Lydia seemed to have something to say.
"Miss Lydia, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"You'll understand, Mr. Rhodes."
In the face of Rod's inquiry, Lydia smiled slightly.
"You know, no matter how huge a towering ancient tree is, it can't cover the entire land. Its seeds will be fluttered in the wind, forming patches of forests. So I guess you probably don't need to worry too much about that. ”
At this, Lydia paused, and then suddenly said something that had nothing to do with it.
"Lately, something doesn't seem right with Irene's body."
“…………………”
Hearing this, the expression in Rod's eyes suddenly changed.
Because at this time, he suddenly remembered something.
Although he has dissipated the power of the dragon soul, in terms of race, he is still a void dragon. And Irene needless to say, as the inheritor of the dragon soul, she was originally a dark dragon...............
Both sides are dragons, coupled with Lydia's roundabout speech...............
Thinking of this, Rod was suddenly stunned.
No way............!! (To be continued......)
