Tireatest enemy

After the Midsummer Festival, there were only six months left before the winter break Before that happened, Rhode had a very heavy task, which co the two five-star ated, and training his men to be prepared for the war that was likely to happen next year Through Shawn’s intelligence network, Rhode had gotten a lot of inforht As he expected, there was internal turht and the support towards the Head of Parlia his re-election next year difficult

However, not everything happened like before Froot, he learned that he had successfully dealt with the trade route incident, which led the trade route to be reopened and had ht less intense than what happened in game history On the other hand, this caused Archduke Lydia to have enough energy to deal hat ht, since Paphield had not caused any disturbance Rhode trusted Lydia’s political wisdom, and before he left Golden City, he also had a brief, private conversation with her By that ti frouely to Lydia, but she seemed to already have her own plan Because of that, Rhode couldn’t say toothe future wasn’t always soht happen, it didn’t mean that he could persuade others to believe in it because they thought that there were still countless possibilities in what the future could hold For example, Rhode knew that the Country of Darkness would definitely take this opportunity to attack, but for those who lived in the present, it was still a question of whether the Country of Darkness would attack or not

Fortunately, Lydia also knew that the successor to the new Dark Dragon’s soul holder was a very powerfulon in the Country of Darkness With that in mind, Rhode did not speak on, and noithout the troubles from Paphield and the Ocean Trade Route, there was probably no e, then it would be for the best However, if history didn’t changed, it would be ih the situation didn’t seem bad, Rhode felt that it was soaht caused some conflicts in Soraka Mountain was because the support for the Head of Parliaenerals in an attempt to start a local war in Soraka Mountain They hoped they would gain back the people’s support by doing so

However, those stupid old men didn’t expect that this time, the Country of Darkness would not show any restraint, The reason was si After he ruled, he had es to the hierarchical systethen his country

The Country of Darkness was a very hierarchical country It wasn’t solely determined by its system, but also by the people who lived in it In the Country of Darkness, hts, lichs, ghouls, vampires, dark elves, etc Since most of the Country of Darkness’s residents were undead, it also caused theth For exahts, while ordinary ghouls couldn’t disobey the vampires’ orders This was determined by the qualities of the undead themselves Since they had already lost their lives, they survived by relying on unnatural forces, and because of this, their strength directly deterence and ability That’s why the Country of Darkness’s hierarchy was so rigid since there was no way that a high-level vahoul whose IQ was not yet fully developed and couldn’t even communicate properly

So in the Country of Darkness, the whole systeon itself, and below hiendary Demon Generals: ‘Spirit Chaser’ Balende, ‘Blood Countess’ Ashvril, ‘Conqueror’ Garcia, and ‘Angel of Sorrow’ Charlie

A them, Balende, Ashvril, and Charlie were undead, vael respectively, and the ‘The Conqueror’ Garcia was human This power structure had lasted for on soul holder appeared

In order to strengthen the country, the new Dark Dragon soul holder, Ian, had pro the dark elves and the grey dwarves, which naturally resulted in conflicts between the old nobles and new gatekeepers After all, political resources were li that if one more person appeared, one would have one less piece Naturally, the four legendary generals also despised those lower races and didn’t want to share their resources with them

Because of that, the Country of Darkness was currently in a very volatile political situation; the new authority holders needed to show enough strength to prove that they were qualified for it The old nobles, on the other hand, needed to protect the interests and dignity of their own race For such matters, action was far more important that mere empty talk

The best way to solve these disputes was through a war Once the war began, the Country of Darkness would have access to additional resources and land that could be allocated to the new authorities, while the old nobility could also show enough power and glory to maintain their position War was also the quickest and most convenient way for the new authorities that yearned for recognition and advanceain power and show their iht paid no heed to the undercurrents of its neighbors It was also foolish enough to think that their provocation would be the saht each other and then declare the situation tense They used this opportunity to spread alarmist rumors that would at best lead to a local hich would end soon They had no idea that they were giving the Country of Darkness an excuse to start a war Soon, the Country of Darkness had escalated a local war into a full-scale war

Rhode could only persuade Lydia to be careful, but he could not stop the Country of Light’s Parliaive the he could do Most likely, even Lydia had no way to stop it He could persuade a erous to tease that fierce hound, but if the person was deteret bit, he wouldn’t be able to prevent it

If that hound ended up biting off his neck, that was even more out of his reach

Had it not because the Munn Kingdom was located between the two countries, Rhode would have been happier if the Country of Darkness had attacked the Country of Light earlier and left the other side defenseless At least then, they wouldn’t have the tidom

Unfortunately, this possibility did not exist In the end, they had to figure out the situation thehtly as he stood on the balcony while looking at the uys have chosen?”

“Yes, Leader”

Canary was standing beside Rhode and she suild’s structure had changed again, though not e of the vice leader’s affairs, Lize was still the representative of the clerics, and Shauna was also still the leader of the stronghold guards, and there were no changes in Kavos and Anne’s duties Canary and Mini Bubblegu, and since they couldn’t leave the stronghold, there was no way for them to do any heavier work

However, in reality, those two held the uild besides Rhode, and because of that, everyone in guild except for Rhode had to train under the methods to be really different—of course, this was thanks to the Sphere of Mystery

After activating the Sphere, Rhode could create a variety of scenarios and enemies to train them in Those who failed wouldn’t die, but they would be forced out, which was very siaeon

For these htroups Next, they would be led into the phantou, their demands were very simple They only told theiven tiressed, rules and restrictions began to uarantee howwas cohters ere responsible for defense had to ensure how many casters would survive to the end They needed to learn not only how to utilize their ability to the fullest, but also learn how to avoid attacks, cooperate with others, and protect themselves and their companions They had to learn how to iht’ Honestly, they had no idea what those two ladies meant

Those mercenaries were uest difference between a player and NPC was their attributes and talents The player’s talent tree was common and had the tendency to focus on one direction Take Canary: since she specialized in high DPS, she naturally had to um specialized in crowd control, her talents were mostly support-based

In other words, the player’s talents were too straight-forward and expectable On the other hand, NPC’s talents were lopsided It was no wonder; since they were not players, they couldn’t see their talents’ develop based on their intuition and no one was perfect After all, one couldn’t expect a cleric to have high DPS or a e to be a MT If that were the case, the effects would be really tragic
