Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode felt refreshed as soon as he stepped out of his Summon Gate. He knew that it would trigger disorder and destruction to the spiritual connection of the summoning stone if it was touched by unqualified ones and this would cause the summoned elemental creatures to be uncontrollable. Due to this reason, Rhode made Gracier and Madaras handle the situation. Since it wasn’t his campsite, he couldn’t care less if the fire elemental creatures wreaked havoc.

“Rhode, you’re back!”

Marlene and Lize rushed over worriedly.

“Are you alright, Mr. Rhode?”

“With me around, what trouble can this damned human possibly get into?” Celestina said with a gloomy expression.

She glared at the two young ladies, lifted her head, and let out a snort. On the other hand, Marlene and Lize showed bitter smiles to each other. Even though they didn’t interact much with Celestina in the past, they knew that there were numerous strange beings around Rhode.

“I’m fine, thanks for the concern.”

Rhode wrapped his arms and gazed at Celestina. The corners of his lips curled up and a trace of smile glinted in his eyes. Then, he turned to the two young ladies with a stern expression.

“I’ve gained huge results from this trip. Gather everyone. There’s something important to discuss.”

“Everything go according to plan. We will attack the Land of Atonement three days later. Everything is for the sake of His Majesty’s honor!”Read more chapter on our vipnovel.com

As Cullen gave out his determined order, inside the fortress in the near distance, Rhode described everything that he saw in the Undead Army camp. Everyone listened solemnly. There was a total of 150,000 Undead Creatures while they only had up to 20,000 troops. If it weren’t for the Battle Angel Army, Magic Fleet, and legendary spell casters like Mini Bubble Gum and Canary, they wouldn’t even need to step on the battlefield and were better off retreating.

At this moment, even Frederick kept his smile. He knew the serious consequences of this matter.

“But we don’t have to be so worried.”

Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, Rhode clapped for everyone’s attention.

“Just as I’ve mentioned. They may have a 150,000 troops army, but most of them are low-level creatures like the Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Guards, and Death Knights. who we had slaughtered countless of. Besides, we have a secret weapon and with the Battle Angel Army around, this fortress definitely won’t fall. I guarantee this. Of course, everything that I’ve said here is a top secret. I guess everyone here understands what I mean.”

“Don’t worry, Sir Overlord. For the sake of victory, I’m willing to risk my life to stop every Undead Creatures from stepping into this fortress.”

Bayer stood up and bowed respectfully. He displayed a gloomy expression and appeared rather anxious. It was apparent that he understood the concept of a 150,000 troops army as a veteran and after recalling their previous battle with the Undead Creatures, he didn’t feel too hopeful. He merely treated Rhode’s ‘impassioned’ statement as a morale booster and the latter let out a bitter smile. After all, the young were fearless and had never seen that many enemies in their lives, which explained why they weren’t feeling as helpless as Bayer.

But Rhode was assured by Bayer’s action because even though the situation was looking bleak, Bayer declared his will to fight to the death. Although they came here as reinforcements, Rhode was aware that it was only human nature that they would flee after hearing about the number of enemies they were facing. Nothing was more admirable than knowing the threats before them and still continuing to fight to the last moment.

But Rhode was better off appointing someone to watch and keep Bayer from committing suicide. When that happened, it would surely turn into black comedy.

“Luckily, the enemies won’t have additional reinforcements. I’ve discovered during my investigations that their disposition of troops are ready, which means that they’re only waiting to move out. If I guess correctly, they will launch their attacks in three days.”

“Why is it three days later, Sir Overlord?” Serena blinked curiously and Rhode shrugged.

“The Country of Darkness worships the number ‘three’. Legends say that the Darkness Mainland was created by the first Dark Dragon Soul in three nights, where there were eternal nights thereafter and darkness ruled everything. This is why the Country of Darkness is tangled with the numbers ‘three’ and ‘nine’. For example, the Country of Darkness’ capital is divided into three regions while the Darkness Castle has nine floors. It is also a rule for them to launch their attacks three days after the complete disposition of troops because they believe that they will be blessed by the Dark Dragon Soul’s protection and be victorious.”

Rhode clapped.

“We only have three days to prepare ourselves and will face a fierce battle. Remember my words. We don’t need to be concerned about the massive amounts of Skeletal Warriors, Skeleton Guards, and Death Knights. Instead, the Skeletal Trolls and Vampire army are our greater concerns. Alright, go get ready!”

Everyone stood up without hesitation and left with stern expressions. Three days. They didn’t know what they could do within this period of time. But now, all they could do was to hope for the best.

Shortly after, the spacious meeting room turned empty without only a few members left: Beni, Gillian, Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, and Orchid Heart. Rhode had given them a few looks and even though they didn’t know what he wanted to say, they quietly stayed behind.

Rhode closed the doors and ordered Agatha to stop anyone from entering. Then, he turned around and said.

“Everyone. We’re in trouble.”

“We heard that just now, Leader.”

Mini Bubble Gum lifted the tea cup and said nonchalantly.

“What’s so great with those little Undead Creatures? Besides, isn’t the Battle Angel Army here too?”

Rhode spread his arms apart helplessly.

“I didn’t mention it earlier because I don’t want to frighten the rest and this spells trouble.”

“What’s the trouble, Leader? Look at your nervous self. Don’t tell me the Dark Dragon Soul will be paying us a visit personally?”

“… Apart from the Undead Army, I saw a…”

Rhode paused.

“Night Wyvern.”

Pfff! Bang!

Mini Bubble Gum spurted the tea in her mouth while Beni stood up abruptly and accidentally flipped the chair beside her. She pressed her hands on the table and glared at Rhode.

“Sir Overlord, are you sure it’s a Night Wyvern?!”

“I can’t be more sure than this. Even though it hasn’t grown fully yet, it is definitely a Night Wyvern.”

Rhode took in a deep breath and looked ahead. Not only Mini Bubble Gum, but Canary, Gillian, and Orchid Heart also turned pale.

“That’s why I said we’re in trouble.”
