Chapter 1182 - Start of an Alliance
Even though Rhode said it was an insignificant matter, he didn’t delay in taking actions. According to the intelligence from the front line, the Country of Darkness was expanding and gathering their armies. This time, Ion didn’t seem to be concealing his intention anymore. He was clearly showing his aggression to the Country of Light, Country of Law, and the Void Territory. If it were in the past, Rhode could still ridicule Ion for bringing about his own destruction. But now, he had no choice but to take him seriously. If the intelligence from Garcia was accurate—no, even if it were only 50 percent right, Rhode could be considered to have understood what was going on in the Country of Darkness now. It was apparent that the Dark Dragon had been eroded by Chaos completely. He also injected the power of Chaos into the undead creatures. Perhaps this was the reason why Marlene and Cassidy reported that the strength of the skeleton soldiers had increased greatly. This also corresponded to the history in Marybelle’s memories that Rhode saw on Earth. The mutated beings of Chaos could easily manipulate undead creatures and devour their spirits. If that was the case, perhaps the undead creatures on the front line had already turned into the claws of Chaos. As soon as they proliferated, maybe the Country of Light, Country of Law, and the Void Territory wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of being eroded by Chaos. Therefore, Rhode struck first to gain the initiative, forming an alliance to launch attacks on the Country of Darkness and wiping them out before they became too powerful. As for Erin, even though Rhode felt rather regretful for allowing her to return to the Country of Darkness so soon, there was no use in crying over the spilt milk. The moon princess could only rely upon herself now. But no matter what, all the thousands of words added up to mean only one statement.
Ion has to die.
It was a pity that forming an alliance sounded easy, but it wasn’t that successful in reality.
“I understand what you mean, Your Majesty Rhode. But…”
Siena knitted her brows with a hesitant expression, gazing at Rhode who sat opposite her.
“Of course, we also received information about the Country of Darkness’s army’s next move. But I think this isn’t enough to conclude that the Dark Dragon has been eroded by Chaos. Besides, to tell you the truth, ever since the Dragon Soul Continent was born, there has been no precedent of dragon soul heirs joining forces to punish a particular dragon soul heir.”
“That is why we need to fill up this historical gap of the Dragon Soul Continent, Your Majesty Siena.”
Rhode laid down the teacup, crossed his arms, and stared at the two young ladies opposite him.
“Your Majesty Nalea fought hand to hand with Ion, so I think it is sufficient to prove his attitude. Besides, just as I said, this time we aren’t facing the usual Chaos, but a mutant from another world instead. Not only does it possess a certain trait of Order, but even a dragon soul heir was also eroded by them—Lilian, who is still bedridden. If it weren’t for her fortune, perhaps you would meet an insane Light Dragon soon.”
“Since His Majesty Rhode said we can verify his information, you should go ahead and do it. No matter what, we are the protectors of law. His Majesty Rhode always follows his heart’s desire, but we can only act according to rules. This is why we have our own methods. You should look for Her Majesty Lilian and Her Highness Lydia and leave the Country of Law to me. Of course, for safety’s sake, we need to evacuate the civilians by the borders too.”
“…”
After listening to Nalea’s words, Siena pondered for a few moments and nodded.
“I understand, Big Sister. Leave it to me.”
“Alright, I shall leave it to you then, my adorable little sister.”
Facing Siena’s answer, Nalea reached out for another piece of biscuit, put it into her mouth, and answered with a smile.
