“The next matter will be about the mission content” Rhode pointed to the letter and knitted his brows “Thisforth all my trustworthy aides: in other words, Marlene, Anne, and Lize All of you must be prepared to head into Soraka Mountain with me”

“What about the Fortress?” Marlene asked anxiously as she orried that the operations of the Fortress would be in chaos if both Rhode and herself weren’t present to oversee it However, even so, Marlene sensed that thisfor the 5 Star Mission previously Could it be that the eneher?

“Leave the Fortress in Canary’s hands for the ti lady as iaze, Canary lifted her head and s “…it”

“…” Marlene felt a tug at her heartstrings as she gazed at Canary while biting her lips subconsciously At the same time, an unusually complicated euilt hit her hard Marlene knew about Canary’s past and because of this, she felt exceptionally conflicted after hearing Rhode’s words After all, no matter what, Canary and Rhode seeentle, and extreh she didn’t have an illustrious fath than Marlene Judging from Canary’s behavior, it seemed that she fancied Rhode a lot too Furtherested that Canary had once stood by his side and assisted hi lady was only an illusion of her soul

But this was also so happy about…

Marlene shuddered “I understand, Rhode I will hand over the operations of the Fortress to Miss Canary after the preparations are done But… where are we heading for this mission?”

“Soraka Mountain,” replied Rhode

“Soraka?!” Marlene stood on her feet and a look of astonishment was displayed on her face Lize observed her reactions and asked with uncertainty “Marlene, what kind of place is Soraka Mountain? Do you know?”

“Of course I know…” Marlene nodded and cal to Lize “Soraka Mountain is located on a rare, stable point in the intersection between the Country of Darkness and Country of Light That place has an abundance of ical crystal ht once broke out in a long war over it and later on, as both sides got into a deadlock, they decided to stop the war after days of negotiations The Soraka Mountain was then entrusted to the faithful followers of the Light Dragon and at the sadoood relationshi+p with the Country of Darkness Of course, even though the Munn Kingdo from the sides Therefore, both sides decided that Soraka Mountain would be preserved in the form of an independent does to survive between the Country of Darkness and Country of Light… Moreover, armies and officials of both countries can’t enter Soraka Mountain territory without prior notice because it would be seen by the other side as the annexation of Soraka Mountain”

Marlene paused and turned her gaze towards Rhode with knitted brows “Since the King’s Party ordered us to carry out a mission in Soraka Mountain, that would ns of unrest in Soraka Mountain” Rhode nodded slightly, at the sa on the letter that was on the table “Royal Highness Lydia has explained the ongoings in this letter Rumor has it that some people in Soraka Mountain tried to seek protection frohness Lydia deation and she entrusted Viktor and his Cole Falcon Guild with it”

Initially, Rhode was dissatisfied that Royal Highness Lydia didn’t choose him for thisthat the ruler would trust their closest followers rather than a new strength that had just joined the the important Soraka Mountain and there was no rooations, there was indeed a group of people seeking protection froon and they tried to put forward this proposal in the parlia to the treaty, the proposal will be officially effective once two-thirds of the parliament members approve it The Chairman of the parliament is a steady and conservative person; therefore, his powerful influences have given this proposal difficulties in obtaining approvals Coincidentally, the Chairroup of o,” Rhode paused for a ht”

“What?!” Lize and Anne exclaimed in shock while Marlene’s expression sunk “Anne doesn’t understand… Didn’t that Chair on the Country of Darkness? So why did the people froht ambush them instead?”

“Because this is beneficial to the Country of Light,” Rhode shrugged his shoulders “A long tined stated that Soraka Mountain must remain neutral Once the Soraka Mountain Parliament decides to seek protection from the Country of Darkness, it will mean that they have violated the treaty As a result, the bunch of idiots froht Parliament will then be able to attack Soraka Mountain and snatch their htfully’”

“B-But…” Lize stuttered in panic Although she was a princess, she had separated herself fro time For her to be involved in this coht escalate into a as too ht protection from the Country of Darkness, wouldn’t the Country of Darkness protect theht were to attack? In the end, both sides will start a coht of this?”

“They have definitely thought of this, but they insisted to do so,” Rhode picked up the intel that Old Walker had left on the table “Next year will be an election year for the Country of Light Parlia in the Country of Light have weakened their nation’s power to a point that they have to rely on Royal Highness Lydia of the Munn Kingdom to support them financially Furthermore, there was the Trade Route incident that affected theh it was resolved in the end As a result, the Country of Light’s Parliareatly and his chances of continuing in office are very sli protection from the Country of Darkness leaks, he still stands a chance to regain his citizens’ trust by toughening out his stance over it Soraka Mountain contains an abundance of crystal ht’s financial problems Moreover, the new heir to the Country of Darkness has only stepped in for a few years and the Country of Light Parliauts to take drastic actions against the of the treaty for Soraka Mountain between the Country of Darkness and Country of Light was done under the attention of the Judge tiht Parliament can use the Country of Law as a truh this ht appear only a possibility to the ordinary person, Rhode was sure that the Country of Light’s Parliament plotted the scheme to use Soraka Mountain as the point of penetration However, the Country of Light’s Parliament didn’t expect that the situation would develop towards a different direction entirely On the contrary, it opened a pressure valve for the Country of Darkness that was trying to balance the old and new forces within its country Thereafter, the Country of Law sunk into a strange silence and they didn’t eht’s Parliaht’s Parlia Soraka Mountain to ensure its political status and also crack down on the Country of Darkness and the Munn Kingdom turned into a silly scheme As a result, the Country of Darkness doon Soul to their enemy… It was rare to see humans this dumb, or perhaps, it was rare for one to even be brainwashed or self-hypnotized to this point

“So then, our mission is to…” Marlene questioned anxiously

“Fortunately, the Country of Light’s soldiers that aroup didn’t reveal their identities On the other hand, Viktor’s group seized the opportunity to protect the Chairrave trouble Royal Highness Lydia has ordered us to rescue the Chairroup that is trapped in Soraka Mountain and escort theins,” explained Rhode
