The entire Dragon Soul Ceremony went on smoothly thereafter. The Light Parliament members showed ashen, frozen expressions while the people from the Munn Kingdom were exceptionally passionate and delightful. However, they knew that this was only a victory on surface and was insubstantial. The Light Parliament definitely wouldn’t let this matter rest after being humiliated by the Munn Kingdom.
The first phase of the ceremony ended after Lily gracefully blessed everyone who was present. Then, everyone moved to the platform outside the Dragon Soul Temple to watch the military parade. But this time, no one was in the mood to enjoy it, especially the Light Parliament members who knitted their brows worriedly. Even though Lily was a puppet, she actually had the most right in regaining her authority. This should have been a clash between the Parliament camp led by the Light Parliament and Anti-Parliament camp led by the Munn Kingdom. If that was all, perhaps the others could support the Light Parliament. However, the situation was entirely different after the Light Dragon Soul had gotten involved. They didn’t dare to go against the Light Dragon Soul and no matter how transparent the Light Dragon Soul was in the Country of Light, she was one of the Creator Dragon Souls, after all, and wasn’t a presence that mortals could defeat. Once the Light Dragon Soul had fixated her eyes on snatching back her authority, together with the strength of the three Archangels, it would cause a huge headache for the Light Parliament. If the Light Parliament were to take action, the threats that they would face would be greatly increased with the presence of Archangel Boulder and Archangel Serene.
Humans were always fearful toward powerful beings. Although the Light Parliament was great in inciting public opinion about Angels, the biggest problem laid on the Angels’ powerful selves. Angels possessed enormous sacred strength and longevity, as well as beautiful appearances. These were what Humans lacked the most and it was due to this that they accepted the Light Parliament’s opinions into rationalizing their envy and hate toward Angels. Not only that, but many people also had a misconception that they had equal statuses with Angels. Even the strongest of all Angels have to take cue from us Humans. So, we, Humans, are the rulers of this nation!
However, this was just a beautiful dream of theirs. The Light Parliament knew this situation that they had created was meant to compel the Battle Angels. They took advantage of the kind and lawful views of the Battle Angels as they knew that the Battle Angels wouldn’t do anything too radical. But the situation was different now. The Light Dragon Soul intended to regain her authority and, as a result, the Battle Angels’ actions would be justifiable. If the Battle Angel Army were to attack… perhaps a worrying future would emerge before the Light Parliament and their supporters soon.
“I didn’t expect to see those guys in this miserable manner.”
Sitting on the tall platform and gazing at the Light Parliament members in their ashen expressions, Lize couldn’t help but chuckle. Although she had a gentle temperament, even Buddha would be angered after facing unjust treatments from them.
Not only Lize, but even the other representatives of the Anti-Parliament camp also gazed at the Light Parliament members while rejoicing in their misfortune. This wasn’t surprising at all. After all, it was rare for the Light Parliament to encounter such a situation after throwing their weight about on this continent for years. Not only did the elderly chairman become the scapegoat of the Light Parliament in losing every scrap of reputation in front of Lydia, but he had also failed to receive a single gold coin from her. Their financial debt could no longer be filled and everyone knew that the Country of Light had been going downhill over the years. They meant to rely on the Munn Kingdom for the sum of money every year to fill the financial debt. Now that the sum of money had grown wings and flown away, the Light Parliament was in for a huge headache as they faced a dangerous crisis!
But Rhode knew that it was impossible.
He was sure that the Light Parliament would definitely be capable of filling the financial debt.
Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the ground, which also signified the end of the military exercise. The hundred Magician Knights regrouped in neat rows and their Commander turned around with his raised pike. The crowd exploded into applause and instantly turned up the atmosphere. The elderly chairman’s ashen complexion had faded slightly and became much calmer. He stood to his feet and arrived at the edge of the tall platform, facing the Magician Knights.
“You’re indeed the Magician Knights. Your performance was truly outstanding. I believe that with the powerful pikes in your hands, you can protect our people and country. Alright then, as the victor of this military exercise, do you have any wishes?”
The Commander urged on his warhorse forward. Then, he took down his helmet and revealed a charming face with unswerving determination. He lifted his head to gaze at the tall platform.
“We’ve long heard the big name of Mercenary Overlord, Earl Rhode, from the Munn Kingdom. His brave deeds have been spreading among the people in the Country of Light. So, our Magician Knights would like to experience Sir Rhode’s strength personally. Not sure if Sir Rhode is interested?”
This remark caught everyone by surprise!
