Summoning the Holy Sword

“Wait, Sonia.”

 Andre scuttled and arrived before her worriedly.

 “Is anything the matter, Andre?”

 “Do you really intend to do that?”

 “… What you meant was…”

 “To become the military representative and remain in contact with that guy?”

 “That’s right, Andre.”

 Sonia’s brows twitched when she heard Andre addressing Rhode as ‘that guy’ and a look of dissatisfaction emerged on her face. However, Andre didn’t notice as he knitted his brows and spoke hesitantly.

 “I don’t think this is a good idea, Sonia. You’ve indeed interacted with that guy. But have you forgotten? Back then, didn’t that guy treat you badly?”

 It was due to this that while Anne and the others were idling by doing nothing, Rhode and Gillian were incredibly busy. Since people hoped for him to command the army, Rhode surely wouldn’t reject them. He regrouped the army of the southern battlefront by making his 5000 troops the core. Of course, if this was the only matter on hand, he and Gillian wouldn’t be this busy. In fact, there was something which involved a goal that Rhode couldn’t let others in on.

 “According to the intelligence report, the group of skeletons is getting closer to the Winter Castle, Master.”

 Gillian fiddled with the report in her hand and chuckled confidently.

 “How long more?”

 Rhode said and continued to gaze at the military sand table. This left Gillian sticking out her tongue and displayed a pitiful face as though she was emotionally hurt. However, she quickly regained her usual smile.

 “Around two days. By the way… I heard that the internal group is having a huge quarrel. ‘Her Majesty’ may not be able to arrive here as soon as she thought.”

 Rhode twitched his brows. He knew what Gillian meant. Last evening, there was a report from the front lines that the final defense of the Winter Castle had crumbled to the Undead Army. If it weren’t for the Light Dragon Soul’s protection that stopped them from advancing during the day, perhaps this Winter Castle would have also collapsed.

 According to the news, there would be around 70,000 Undead Creatures that would attack the Winter Castle and what made him glad was that the Angel of Sorrow’ Charlie wouldn’t be here. At this moment, Charlie was being restrained by Archangel Boulder and Serene. However, it should also be said that thanks to Archangel Boulder and Serene, the Winter Castle didn’t manage to receive timely assistance from the Battle Angel Army—this was also why the Light Parliament had no choice but to revolve their thoughts around Rhode’s Holy Maiden Statues.

 But this way, there were changes to the plans.

 The Light Parliament had initially planned to allow Lilian to arrive at the Winter Castle before the Undead Army, in order to boost the morale of soldiers in the battlefront. However, to their horror, they didn’t expect the Undead Army to be this quick. Under such a circumstance, they could only delay sending Lilian here until the Undead Army was defeated.

 There didn’t seem to be any problems on the surface. However, Rhode had some suspicions after receiving this news.

 If Lilian was an ordinary young queen, there would be nothing wrong if the Light Parliament did so. However, she wasn’t an ordinary human, but was the Light Dragon. Under the protection of the Light Dragon Soul, Lilian should be invincible. In other words, the Undead Army would not be threatening if she was here. The holy spears of the Holy Maiden Statues relied on the source of power from the light rule. Besides, as the Light Dragon Soul Heir, Lilian could easily melt the Undead Army in the power of light in the swing of her arm. But now, the Light Parliament actually stopped Lilian from coming and protected her instead?

 How strange… Why did they do that? Could it be that the Light Parliament isn’t aware of how strong the light power is? Or are they afraid that Lilian will display her might and win over the people?

 This wasn’t totally impossible and Rhode realized that the situation was rather fishy.

 Knock knock.

 At this moment, someone knocked on his door and interrupted his thoughts.

 “What’s the matter?”

 He looked up and asked.

 “Reporting, Sir Overlord. Miss Sonia is here to report to you as the representative of the alliance.”

 “Sonia?”

 Rhode twitched his brows.

 “Let her in.”
