“Above?” The black-haired young lady lifted her head and leered disdainfully at Rhode landing from above “You will ot, Mr Rhode”

Gaya groaned and swung her right arround and struck Rhode heavily However, Gaya was surprised that the ure was replaced with dozen pitch-black tentacles that whizzed and wrapped towards her

“What’s this creepy-looking thing?” Gaya said in a startled tone However, the young lady kept her cool and stamped her feet Shortly after, the black tentacles struck an invisible wall

At the same time, a shadow sped and struck towards Gaya’s neck

“Stop!” The tip of the dagger halted centimeters away from her neck and Gaya turned towards Rhode Rhode maintained his stance while the black viper-like sword that forered quietly in , Mr Rhode,” Gaya turned a blind eye to the razor-sharp blade that ithin reach of her neck and revealed a plain shness Lydia’s evaluation of you is rather exaggerated…”

“Are you satisfied with this ending, Miss Gaya?” Rhode said with a s this duel seriously She didn’t even reveal her true strength and use the harp that acco an opening If Gaya knew that Rhode had the ability to summon spirits, she wouldn’t have fallen for his tricks

“It see hard to deal with But…” Gaya paused and muttered under her breath softly “I wasn’t aware that such interesting things existed… Besides…”

“Miss Gaya?”

Or perhaps, this matter is related to Paphield?</e to do with the Southern Legion,” Gaya guessed it right “Mr Rhode, I’m sure that you’re aware that the Refor their troops to Paphield Although you have defeated their first wave of attack, Royal Highness Lydia judged that these renegades won’t give up that easily She hopes that you can sneak into Grosso and Fiat and destroy everything from there”

“…” Rhode pondered for a while

for all along!

Grosso and Fiat were two small towns located in the South that appeared ordinary, but Rhode knew that they were known for their large-scale foodstuff and mineral stockpiles

The South relied on their prosperous coic location But it was also due to the geographical location and environment that they lacked minerals and was unable to plant crops The South usually purchased foodstuff and minerals from the North and now that they had declared independence, the co the North had been cut off Even though the Southerners could purchase foodstuff to get through tough ti wouldn’t resolve the problem at its source

This was one of the reasons why the Reformist Party was so desperate to attack the Paphield Paphield was a region full of foodstuff and minerals and if the Reformist Party could occupy half the land, they would meet the Southerners’ needs

Grosso and Fiat produced the most foodstuff and minerals in the South

Once both toere destroyed, there would only be one solution left for the Reformist Party

And that was to attack, attack, attack They had to take down Paphield; if not, their people would rebel once their stockpile had been fully diminished
