Chapter 614: The Bloodstained Front (Part II)

Summer goes and autumn comes.

The days are still going on day by day, and everyone is busy with their own things in an orderly manner. As time passed, people gradually began to become familiar with the new life. Although at the beginning, this large-scale migration throughout the entire Dragon Soul Continent was unacceptable to many people. But now, they have come to accept this life and are beginning to resume their daily work and labor in a new land. Although many people have lost their loved ones in the face of gunpowder and death, the dead are gone, and the living still have to continue their lives after all.

What's more, in the current "world", it is not easy to want to die a real thing.

However, in this quiet day, a piece of news suddenly came out like this, which surprised many people. Because during this time, it was rumored that their ruler actually had something to do with the devil! Not only that, but they even teamed up with the devil to turn all the soldiers who were unwilling to go to the battlefield into evil and terrifying monsters!!

As soon as this news came out, many people were raising their mouths, and many people whose families were fighting on the front line were also flustered at the moment, although this was just a rumor in the market, but it still caused a certain amount of panic. Of course, in fact, most people don't trust this kind of rumor very much, because this kind of rumor is basically unsubstantiated, and there is nothing real at all. It is as valuable as the so-called "Once upon a Time" as an oral story. However, the so-called rather believe it than not, and this kind of rumor is so widely spread, it will inevitably make people feel a little drummed. After all, Rhodes and the other creation dragons did not tell the truth of the matter to the general public, but only selectively sued them because of the stupid actions of Ion's idiocy (it is more convenient to blame the fault on the heads of the dead than anything else), and led the monsters to invade the Dragon Soul Continent. In order to fight off the monsters and keep them safe. That's why they were migrated to the inner core.

This statement has been accepted by quite a few people in the Land of Light, and if it had been before, they might have dismissed it. But after experiencing the hardships of war, they no longer have the conditions to make more demands. Moreover, the continuous invasion of the Night Country has indeed left the impression of a dark boss on the people of the Land of Light, even if it is said that he intends to destroy the Miรจ world, these people must believe that the other party did it. So for Rod's statement. These people in the Land of Light have also accepted it all. Because of this, when Rhodes and Lydia sent their soldiers to the front lines to fight the Chaos Monsters, they didn't stop anything. But now, against the backdrop of this rumor, many people are starting to be a little worried. Although it is just a rumor, Rhodes and Lydia are not very good people in the impression of the people of the Land of Light. Especially Rod, who single-handedly destroyed Casablanca and killed the entire capital of the Land of Light. In the minds of the people of the Land of Light, he is not much worse than Ion. Therefore, it is not completely unreasonable to say that Rhodes colluded with the devil. What's more, when he destroyed Casablanca before, there seemed to be rumors that Rhodes communicated with the devil and summoned the devil's army to destroy Casablanca. So it's not completely impossible for such a thing to happen again, is it?

Because of this, this rumor has spread quite widely in the country of light, and many people are panicked for a while. I am afraid that my relatives on the front line will also be captured by that terrible devil and made into some kind of monster or something.

But what makes it feel weird is that in this case. Lydia did not deny it and tried to stop the rumor. On the contrary, just when the rumors were hot. She also made a public announcement. In this proclamation, Lydia severely condemned the desertion of some of the soldiers on the front line, leading the line to almost fall. At the same time, she admits that the deserters were punished quite severely, and in the end, Lydia did not forget to warn the soldiers elsewhere to take precautions and find similar acts of desertion. Severe punishment will not be granted.

Although Lydia's announcement was only issued to the military, it was not released to the general public. But the news spread through various channels. For a while, everyone was in an uproar, although Lydia's announcement did not explain what kind of punishment was given to those soldiers who escaped from the battle, but she did not deny that she had turned the other party into a monster, did she? And because of this, after this announcement. Far from subsided, the originally boiling turmoil went further.

"Is that really a problem? Rhodes Majesty? โ€

Leisurely sinking into the soft chair, Lydia put down the text in her hand, and then raised her head to look at Rod sitting in front of her. In fact, it is very clear what Rhodes did Lydia, it was Jia Ling who brought the Chilian ghost god in the first place, and she also knew that Rod had a big devil like Selestina under him. However, Lydia is not a pedantic person as the archangel, and she also knows that nothing is more important than the safety of the entire Dragon Soul Continent now, so as long as Rhodes does not let herself see something with her own eyes, she is happy to pretend not to know.

Originally, when this rumor appeared, Lydia wanted to suppress it. However, Rhodes stopped her from doing so, so that Lydia knew that Rhodes must have used some means to leak the news. Even Lydia had to admit that this was a risky move for Rod. Indeed, after hearing this news, under this unknown threat of terror, I am afraid that the soldiers in other places in the next battle may have to think twice more if they want to escape again. However, this will also lead to instability in the country, in fact, Lydia has received several complaints about this matter within the Land of Light during this time, and even people have taken to the streets to protest, demanding that they disclose the truth about the war on the front line. Although these are only on a small scale, Lydia is well aware of the virtues of the people of the Land of Light. If they don't have an answer, they will get bigger and bigger, and conversely, if they have an answer, if they don't satisfy them, then they will get bigger and bigger. And Lydia is sure. If they knew the truth, then it would be more than just a matter of getting bigger and bigger..................... Although she herself doesn't quite know the truth in this.

"No problem, Your Highness Lydia, just keep it like this. As long as you make sure that these rumors only circulate within the Land of Light, there is nothing wrong with that. โ€

For Lydia's inquiry, Rod was very calm. Seeing this scene, Lydia also raised her eyebrows. Although Rhodes didn't say it directly. But she had almost guessed what Rod was thinking, and I was afraid that this time, Rod was going to play his best trick again.

For Rod, Lydia thinks she knows a lot, and since she first heard the news of this young man, Lydia has been paying attention to Rod openly and secretly. In her opinion, what Rhodes is best at is not combat, nor strategy and tactics, but his ability to spread strange intrigues. According to Rod. He seems to call it "pulling the crowd to fight the masses", a trick that Lydia has seen in the Midsummer Festival. At that time, Rhodes won the tournament in arguably the most controversial way, and after that, it also caused many people to be angry and blamed. At that time, Lydia was very curious about how Rhodes would deal with this matter, although with Lydia's ability, she couldn't suppress this kind of voice. But she still wanted to see how Rhodes dealt with this crisis, but what Lydia didn't expect was that after that, Rhodes actually cleverly changed the direction of public opinion. Not only did it easily reverse the whole situation. Even those who were dissatisfied with him before turned into his most loyal supporters. Lydia was taken by surprise by this unexpected turn, and of course she knew what Rhodes was doing inside. I just didn't expect the effect to be so immediate. And now seeing that Rhodes once again took the initiative to pour dirty water on himself, but had no intention of withdrawing at all, Lydia knew that he was probably planning to play that trick again, otherwise she would not have allowed herself to limit the scope of the rumors to the Land of Light.

Although there are no popular things like the Internet in this day and age, and it is much easier to restrict freedom of speech than in later generations, word of mouth is always the fastest way to deliver information. Even light-speed networks can't match the breadth of their spread. Therefore, it is not easy to limit the spread of rumors, but Lydia knows very well that it may not be easy elsewhere, but within the Land of Light, it is still very simple.

The reason is simple. Because of the xenophobia of the Land of Light.

I have to admit that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, or that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to move, which is good, and it is almost the same if it is ugly and directly says that the dog can't change and eats. Even if Rhodes blew off Casablanca and killed hundreds of thousands of people in the Land of Light. The cold and noble energy in them has not changed. Even though they can hold their tails like dogs in front of Lydia and Rod, they still look superior to others. Maybe it's the absolute inferiority of the arrogant guide, or maybe it's that they still look down on people in other places in their hearts. So even if Rhodes and Lydia migrated the people of the Land of Light to the lands of the Void Lords and Moon, they formed a small circle on their own, and rarely came into contact with people from other places. This is especially true of people like the Duchy of Moon and the Void Lord, who were in places they had previously looked down upon. The people of the Land of Light now resemble those who were once of noble birth, but were forced to live in slums in the middle of the road. Although there is no difference on the surface, they are different from those who have been beggars for generations, they are noble nobles!

Rod is naturally well aware of this, perhaps this is the reason why he deliberately indulges such rumors. As he said before, the ass determines the head, and the position determines the attitude. In the eyes of the people of the Land of Light, Rhodes and Lydia, one is the devil who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of their compatriots, and the other is a tyrant who has suppressed them with high pressure.

But it's not the same with Moon and the Void Lords. For Moon, Lydia is an excellent leader, under her leadership the people live in prosperity, peace and harmony, and she also leads the army to block the repeated attacks of the Night Country, which is simply too stark compared to the scene of the Land of Light that cannot be defended, and others fight and flee to lead the continuous burning of their homes.

And what about Rhodes? For the people of the Void Lord, he is a light in this troubled world. It was he who personally led the people to open up the land and give shelter to those displaced by the war. And many of these people were mercenaries who followed Rhodes into the Chaos Land to continue to explore, and then retired to enjoy their old age in peace. In his spare time, he will also boast to the people around him about the days when he and His Majesty Rhodes explored the land of chaos together. Because of this, Rod's status in the Void Realm is almost the same as Lydia's status in Moon.

In this case, the people of the Land of Light have intensified their ill speech about the two of them, and it is also a rumor with no real evidence (after all, Rhodes is also targeting deserters from the Land of Light, and although there are no people who have escaped in other places, it is not as common as the Land of Light after all). So Rod simply had double standards. In this case, some people may believe the rumors of the people of the Land of Light. But most people certainly won't believe it. Therefore, Rhodes doesn't have to worry about causing internal chaos or anything, after all, even if there is chaos, the chaos is only within the Land of Light, and the influence of other places will be very limited. And he's also completely prepared -- for Rhodes, compared to the entire Dragon Soul Continent, the people of the Kingdom of Light don't need to care at all, right?

"Now that you've said it, I'm not going to do anything more. But Rhodes Majesty xiร . I still hope that you can pay a little attention to proportion, after all, the current situation is ............... It's not very good for us either. โ€

"I know that, Your Highness Lydia."

In response to Lydia's reminder, Rod replied with a slight smile. He also knew that Lydia didn't really like to do this kind of thing by herself, but she was also the archangel, even if she could focus on the overall situation, it didn't mean that she could accept Rod's behavior. Being able to ignore it is already a lot of face for Rode, and this is because everything Rod does is for a reason. And it's not entirely to satisfy her own selfish desires, otherwise she wouldn't let go of Rod so easily. But Rhodes is also well aware of this. So he also answered Lydia's reminder very seriously. Hearing Rod's answer, Lydia also smiled slightly, and then stopped talking about this topic.

However, this is not the main reason why the two will be here for tea and chatting, the reason why they will get together again, as Lydia said. Chaos has been a little weird all this time. Not that they are restless again, on the contrary, but because they are too restless. After that previous battle, the Chaos Monsters never appeared in front of everyone again. To this end, Rhodes and Lydia also sent patrols deep into the battlefield to investigate the chaos at the edge of the barrier. But the news came to them as a surprise. According to the news from those patrols, all those Chaos Monsters have disappeared, and even the edge of the barrier has no shadow of them!!

Such an abnormal expression naturally attracted Rod's attention, he had been fighting Chaos for longer than anyone else, and he also had a lot of experience with Chaos, and right now, except for the Seven Pillars Demon God and his sister and his own holy sword cards, Rhodes thought that he knew more about these Chaos than anyone else. There must be something wrong with their unusual disappearance now, especially after talking to the big bright red eyeball with his own eyes, Rod always felt that this time the chaos seemed to have a big plan. The previous attacks were just a test run. Maybe it won't be long before these terrifying monsters will attack the Dragon Soul Continent again. But now they have no better way but to wait here.

"What do you think those chaos will use this time? Rhodes Majesty? โ€

In the face of Lydia's frowning inquiry, Rod shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly.

"I can't say this either, Your Highness Lydia, after all, Chaos uses a myriad of methods, and anything can happen. The only thing we can do is prepare for the ............... of the Chaos."

"Boom---!!"

However, before Rod could finish his words, suddenly, a deafening thunder sounded, interrupting his speech. Hearing this thunder, both of them were stunned.

What's going on? Why does it thunder?

The world in the Dragon Soul Continent that is guarded by the Dragon Soul Barrier, its weather has a certain relationship with the feelings of the Dragon Soul Inheritor itself, and Lilian has not taken back her power before, so she can't control this aspect yet. But now, Lilian, who has regained all her powers, has also become a true dragon of light, so her mood will also affect the land within the dragon soul of light. Of course, this is not to say that all emotions will trigger changes in the weather, and only those that are particularly intense will trigger similar reactions. But now Lilian's love is very stable, and the weather changes during this time are also normal, why is there sudden thunder?

Thinking of this, Rhodes hurriedly stood up and walked to the window, and then looked out, and almost at the same time, with a deafening thunderclap, a red lightning bolt slashed down from the distant sky, and struck the earth hard. Seeing this scene, Rhodes' face changed slightly.

"It's ..................!!" (To be continued......)
