Chapter 345: Movement and Stillness
In normal times, Rhodes would have quickly solved this matter, but not now, the timing is not right. He had just finished threatening the Dark Dragon in front of him, and it was time to see the effect. If he turned around now to clean up the fire in his backyard, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to losing momentum. Rhodes managed to find an excuse to send Irene back, and gave her a reply that she would not come back without a response from the Night Nation. And now if the Night Kingdom sees something wrong with him later, it will be much more difficult. It's like two people fighting, no matter what the real situation is, you must pretend to be on the face, even if it's a bluff, you have to do a full set, you can't do half and throw half away, right? So even if Rhodes is very annoyed in his heart, he has to pretend to be indifferent on the surface, even if his eyebrows are burning now, as long as the dark dragon doesn't see the problem, then there is nothing wrong with everything. Irene hasn't moved since she returned to the Night Country, and Rhodes knows that the competition between the two sides is now a battle of patience, and whoever has a problem first will take a step back.
And before that, Rod also learned the ins and outs of the whole thing from Qilian.
The Glen did enter illegally, but instead of entering from the border between the Land of Light and the Land of Night, they first arrived at Moon, and then sneaked into the Void Realm from the border area there. Due to the lack of manpower on Rod's side now, he first focused on the border area of the Land of Light (after all, compared to this kind of guy running around the streets, Rhodes was more worried about someone coming to his territory to make trouble on the Side of the Realm of Light), and the border management on Moon's side was relatively weak. So these guys took advantage of the loophole, and their group was about hundreds of people, and after entering the Void Domain, they didn't immediately go to those people's gathering areas, but settled down in a deserted place first. Since Rod's Void Realm is still quite abundant. Moreover, the Greon people have become accustomed to this wandering life, so they can live temporarily even if they do not have contact with others. And these people must also know about Dao Rhodes's ban, which is why they are so sneaky like thieves.
Eventually, though, these people were discovered. And of course, even if you don't need to get instructions from Rhodes, you know what to do. Soon a group of soldiers went to expel the refugees. I don't know how they tossed, but after going back and forth, Delett, who was supposed to lead the soldiers to expel the Greons, began to sympathize with these refugees and tried to consciously shield them. However, the so-called paper can't hold the fire, and what he did was soon known by Lando, Soth and others. As Rod's henchmen, of course, they don't allow things to break the rules, and these people also know from Rhodes how difficult these Greon people are, so they naturally immediately led people to expel them. But Direct objected to it. He even personally led troops to protect the Gryons. This made Lando and them very surprised, from the establishment of the starlight and the development of the Void Realm to the present, they had never seen anything similar to "rebellion in the nest", and they didn't know what to do for a while. Say let's do it directly, it's all your own people, do you really want to be a killer? But if you don't do it, wait for these Greons to stay here. Isn't that a big deal? And this group of people reproduces like rats without moderation at all, if it drags on for a year and a half. When the time comes, 400 will change to 600, 600 will change to 1,000, and this will be endless?
If it was just Delett alone, it wouldn't be a good climate, but as a veteran member of Starlight, although his status is not as high as that of Lando's core members, he still has a few supporters. Seeing that the boss is going to be punished. These people are naturally unwilling, and the troubles caused by the mercenaries' habits of the rivers and lakes are manifested at this time. If it were a pure soldier like John, it would be absolutely impossible to commit it openly, because that would be tantamount to complicity. But although these mercenaries have also undergone considerable training and combat, they are still mercenaries after all. Pay attention to the righteousness of the buddies, and at this time, seeing that Dellet was wronged, they also hurriedly stood up to speak for their boss. And among these people, there are more or less several squad leaders, all of whom are guards stationed in the same area, so once they resist, Lando and the others are really helpless. In addition, anti-racism is also quite a dominant rhythm, and they don't think that Dellet has done anything wrong, after all, the harm of the Gryon people is impossible to experience firsthand unless they are long-term offenders. If Rhodes' question were to be placed in the western part of the Land of Light, it is estimated that the group of people is raising their hands and cheering at this moment, demanding that all of them be killed.
But here, many people have not lived with the Greons, so in their opinion, this is a group of poor people who have wandered because of the war, and the Void Territory is so big, and it is not that there is no place, why can't they live here? Because of this, they believe that they have made the right choice and that there is nothing wrong with it. That's why it's so persistent.
And that's the tricky part of this. Because these people don't realize that their choices are tantamount to complicity, they simply think that Direct has been treated unfairly and that what they are doing is right. This is the most troublesome thing, because their loyalty to Rhodes has not changed, but when it comes to this matter, they themselves have made completely different choices.
And now, the situation is at a standstill, and Lando and the others dare not make a big fuss, but these Grynes must be driven away. But Dellett's side is also justified, Thor once tried to persuade the other party, but instead he was dumbfounded by Dellett, he himself is a half-demon, and he suffers from discrimination, and now in the face of these Gryon people, it is really not good to say much with his identity. And Soth and they don't have a very good solution, and the two sides can only stalemate for a while.
"A brave man who stands up in the face of racism and fights against a strong government for fairness, justice and freedom, the master ......... This is a proper Hollywood theme, right? β
After telling the whole story of the whole incident with emotion, Seven Love smiled and crossed his hands and looked at Rod. And hearing the words of the Seven Loves, Rod raised his eyebrows.
"Do you think this is playing District 9, or Schindler's list?"
"Avatar is actually good, what do you think, master? I suggest that we change our target to the Sea of Stars from today! You're the one who gets chosen! The prophecy says that you will destroy the Sith. Instead of joining them. Bring balance to the Force, not lead it into darkness! β
"That's right."
Hearing the excited call of Seven Loves, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"If you don't follow me, then you're my enemy......... Well, now that they have made their choice, there is a price to pay. But since it's my subordinate. Then there is still a chance to turn around, and it doesn't matter if they still don't know what Lu Dao is doing......... I would give them a condition they couldn't refuse. β
For Lando, this is a problem that he has never encountered before. At this moment, he was sitting in the room, frowning, and looking helplessly at the table in front of him. As Rod's power grows stronger and stronger, Lando Joy and the others also have their own positions, although they don't hold power like John South, but being able to have today's status is already a dream surprise for both of them. But now...............
In fact, the problem now is not just the trouble of the Dellett gang. It's the same with Lando's side. As Rhodes' deputy, Lando's brothers are no less than Delett's. If this is in a gangster movie, it is a cutting-edge younger brother with a bunch of horses who wants to pick the boss's field, and Lando, as the boss's proud subordinates, is naturally obliged to take the brothers of Qinglongtang to the top post. Now that they heard that Delett's gang dared to commit it, Lando's subordinates naturally couldn't help but do it one by one. Fortunately, Lando Joy and the others did not follow Rhodes for so long in vain, and some things are not suitable for direct falling out. If it's a mercenary guild, you can do it internally, and the mercenaries are strong anyway. But now they weren't mercenaries. If there is a fight under his hands, won't that make Rhodes a joke?
"Big brother! Eldest brother! β
It was at this time. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the door opened, and then Joey slipped in, he smiled and looked at Lando, who was frowning in front of him, and then pulled over the chair next to him and sat down. At the same time, he took the kettle next to him and poured a few sips of water. Only then did he smile under Lando's puzzled gaze, and then he lowered his voice mysteriously with the appearance of an underground party.
"That's it!"
"Done?"
Hearing Joey's words, Lando was stunned for a moment.
"What's done?"
"Hey, hey, hey, the boss is talking!"
In the face of Lando's inquiry, Joey squinted his eyes and smiled triumphantly. Then he stretched out his hand, and saw that with Joey's movements, a letter appeared in his hand, and Lando immediately saw the seal on the back of the letter, which was the mark of the Void Dragon. Seeing this, he also understood what Joey meant.
"What did Your Majesty say?"
Of course, Lando knew that Joey must have reported this matter to Rod, and now that Joey is in the Void Realm with his group of thieves, he is also making a good noise, and many troublesome things are handed over to them to investigate and deal with. Although Alice is said to be there, her "historical retrospection" also needs to be specified. Otherwise, there are so many people in the Void Lord, everyone is making history every second, even if Alice can record the history of all these people, it is impossible for Rhodes to see it every moment. So someone still needs to be secretly observing, and then find out that the signs are wrong, and then designate a report to be investigated by Seven Love and Alice. And what Joey did was such a private investigation like the FBI, and as for the matter of Dellett, he naturally reported it after he first investigated and found that the situation was wrong.
"Hey, hey, hey..............."
Hearing Lando's inquiry, Joey first smiled proudly, and then said with a wink.
"You'll know what to say when you see it."
It's getting late.
The light of the setting sun shrouded the grassland, and the wisps of cooking smoke from the simple earthen tile houses not far away could be clearly seen. He's been here for days, and no matter how you look at it, these people are just ordinary refugees, who have come from thousands of miles to escape the war, and from now on, they are no different from ordinary people. Why do you have to drive these people away?
"What are you thinking? Dellett? β
At this moment, a crisp and somewhat tongue-twisting voice sounded in Delett's ears, and Dedirect turned to see a curvaceous figure standing there. She was wrapped in a white robe all over her body, and even her face was tightly covered, leaving only a pair of pale brown eyes staring at her. And see her figure. Dellett just shook his head.
"It's nothing, Funa, I'm just wondering what the hell is going to happen like this..............."
Speaking of which, Dellett's mood was also very complicated, and he did come here to carry out orders at the beginning. But seeing that these people are harmless to humans and animals, it is difficult for him to use any vicious methods against these people. Although it is said that they will be forcibly evicted, there is really nowhere for these people to go. And according to Dellett's observations, they are indeed civilians on weekdays. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Although he had heard rumors about the Gren, he didn't look like the wicked people in any way. Now Delet's mood is also very complicated, he knows that he is disobedient and disrespectful by doing this, and His Majesty the Void Dragon obviously will not turn a blind eye to this, in fact, he doesn't know what to do now. When Lando and the others came with the troops, they were so enthusiastic at the time that they didn't think about anything and went up, but Delett regretted it afterwards. But it's a pity that the so-called wrong step, wrong step. Now Dellett wants to stop it......... There is nothing more possible.
He knew that sooner or later, His Majesty the Void Dragon would know that now Dellet could only find a way to convince Lando and them, hoping to change all this, but he himself knew that the possibility of this was very low. He also understood that the brothers were still saving face for themselves. He didn't send troops again after that, otherwise he wouldn't have survived to the present. What kind of existence the Void Dragon is, Dellet also knows very well. Although he was kind to his own people, he was disgusted by others questioning his orders, and Dellett was not alone here. He also has a sister and parents to support, how can he not get along with his monarch?
"Captain!"
And at this time, Dellett suddenly saw his adjutant galloping all the way to his horse, he came to Dellett's side quickly, and then panted and turned over and dismounted.
"No, it's not good."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing his adjutant's nervous look, Dedirect's face also changed slightly.
"This ......... Lord Lando and Lord Joey have come with troops, and they say they want to meet you in person to talk to you in detail. β
Hearing this, Dellett also sank in his heart, although according to the mercenary qualifications, he was much more experienced than the two rookies of Lando and Joey. But now that everyone is no longer a mercenary, since they are eating official meals, they have more or less people and understanding of their status. Saul had also talked to him before, but it was in a private capacity, but now that Lando and Joey actually came with troops, it means that they have reached the last moment!
Thinking of this, Dellett took a deep breath of cold air and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go!"
"Dellett ............?"
Seeing that Dellet was about to leave, the curvaceous figure couldn't help but speak a little worriedly, and hearing her words, Dellet turned his head and smiled at her: "It's nothing, don't worry, I think it will be solved smoothly this time." β
Although he said that, after seeing Lando and Joey, Dellett himself did not have much confidence. Especially seeing the well-equipped soldiers behind them made Dellett even more uneasy. But even so, he still stepped forward and solemnly saluted the two.
"Dellett has seen two adults!"
"You're welcome, Dellett."
Hearing Dellett's answer, Joey waved his hand first.
"Who are we and whom, and we're still so angry, but then again, you're really making a bit of a fuss this time, and you can't even look at the boss. To be honest, I don't know why you're protecting those Gryon people so much? Could it be that there is a beautiful girl in it that you can't fall in love with? Could it be that you have made the other party's belly bigger, and now you can't bear to give up all the time? β
"Uh............ This ..............."
"Alright, Joey, don't talk about it here."
Hearing Joey's words, Dellett looked a little embarrassed, and stammered at a loss for what to say. However, Lando did find him a step, and instead of reacting to Joey's gibberish, he waved his hand and pulled out a piece of paper. Seeing this letterhead, Delett's heart suddenly rose to his throatβββ of course he also saw the mark of the Void Dragon on it, which meant that His Majesty had responded.
"Your Majesty has already learned about the matter here, and he is very dissatisfied with your disobedience to the order, but Your Majesty still gives you a chance........." Saying this, Lando paused, and then looked at Dedirect in front of him, at this moment he had become extremely nervous, and was listening intently to Lando's words. β¦β¦β¦ These people can stay here, but only if they accept the following conditionsβββ First, they must obey the laws of the Void Realm and must not violate the laws under any pretext. Their own folkloric laws are not recognized by the Void Realm, and if they try to act in the Void Realm's own customs, it will be considered illegal! Second, since they have entered the Void Realm, they must accept the Void Realm's rules and not wear strange clothes, that is, their strange clothes must be changed. Third, they had to be separated as family units, sent to other towns, and if they broke the law, they would be immediately arrested and deported! Kill those who resist on the spot! β
With this, Lando raised his head and looked at Dellet in front of him.
"Do you understand?" (To be continued......)
