Chapter 779 - Flame Army (2)
Many gazed in astonishment with their mouths wide open. Even though the strange-looking Ocean Elves had stunned them, the black figures were even more terrifying.
They were two-meters tall, enormous creatures like knights clad in heavy armor. Pitch-black, solidified lava formed their structure while scarlet lava flowed within the visible openings on their bodies.
They stepped out of the deck and the entire platform was in complete stillness. Everyone gazed at one another at a loss. Of course, they were concerned about Rhode failing to recruit 5000 soldiers. However, this was ultimately his own problem, so they couldn’t gather any data even if they wanted to. But they didn’t expect that the so-called 5000 soldiers were these terrifying creatures!
After a few moments, one of the knights stepped forward in large strides. He let out a snort.
“Mr. Rhode, I hope you can give us an explanation.”
“Explanation?”
Rhode lifted his chin and looked at the knight arrogantly in disdain, which left the latter grinding his teeth and holding in his wrath.
“They are your soldiers?”
“Yes. Is there any problem?”
The man named Gorden let out a grunt.
“I think we should investigate these creatures and shouldn’t bring risks into the Winter Castle just based on the rubbish from the people of the Munn Kingdom!”
“Haha…”
Suddenly, Rhode burst into laughter. He squinted and gazed at the man arrogantly.
“I recall that the agreement the Light Parliament signed clearly stated that the alliance has no commanding rights over me, isn’t it?”
“I have no interest between your agreement with the Light Parliament, country bumpkin.”
The man lifted his head proudly.
“This is my castle and I have the final say! Do you hear me?”
“What if… I refuse?”
Rhode narrowed his eyes.
“Refuse?”
The man knitted his brows and his stone-cold, statue-like face forced out a menacing smile.
“You don’t have the authority to refuse.”
“That’s too bad then.”
Rhode shrugged. Then, he held his sword hilt with his right hand.
“Even though I dislike battles upon meeting, I’m already prepared for this. As a dog of the Light Parliament, it seems that you’re lacking discipline…” Rhode said and the place turned deadly silent.
