Rhode didn’t take long to ether and they expressed different concerns

“Eh? We’re ain? Anne is so tired… Leader, can we rest for a few more days?” Anne lolled in her chair like a spoiled child

Marfa leaned against the wall and pondered in his puckered brows Even though he had joined Rhode later than the rest, Rhode trusted hiuild ap He was a courageous and reticent person, but he often expressed his thoughts, which was necessary within a guild On the other hand, even though Randolf and Joey had iood thing

Gillian waslittle to no noise and she laid eyes on Rhode while swaying her big, fluffy tail froht Ever since this Fire Elemental Lord knew that Rhode had been called over by Gaya, she had been presenting this expression As for Lize, she had been behaving cautiously after she took over Marlene’s adjutant role tehts on her mind

“Sir,” Marfa said “Please pardonto this ti e be there for?”

Rhode waved his hand surprisingly “Ah, not all of you need to uys that there is such aon and I want you to bethere alone to couess you are aware that this is a direct order fro’s Party and for the sake of safety and convenience, I have decided to acco this period, you will all be coordinating with the garrisons to defend the Cloud Summit Fortress But please take this seriously and stay alert because I foresee that the Southern Legion’s aggression will become even fiercer in the near future”

“Eh? Where are you going, Leader?” Anne flipped out of the chair and hopped to her feet, looking fixedly into Rhode’s eyes with glittering brilliance “Can Anne go with you, Leader? Please bring Anne along Anne promises to not cause trouble for Leader!”

“Not this tiesture “They need your help here and besides, you will surely cause trouble forbattle This is a very important duty and only you can do it… Understand, Anne?”

“… Alright…” Anne gave in reluctantly, but she pouted, pondered and displayed a proud s words Rhode let out an inward sigh because even after she had experienced so irl She ht as hie was still that of a child Adult methods wouldn’t work on a child like her

lanced from the corner of his eye

There was actually someone even more childish than Anne

Rhode clapped for everyone’s’ attention He had been thinking of a way to ood opportunity while he ay But it wouldn’t be that good of a news to so… By the way, Lize will be taking charge of everything in uys can report and seek advice fro Marfa gaped at Rhode in silence while blood drained off Lize’s pale complexion like a white sheet of paper as she stared unbelievably

Even though everyone was bewildered when Rhodeoff alone, they weren’t too concerned because the intelligent and formidable Gillian would still be around They knew about their inti that Rhode would have chosen Gillian as the acting guild leader

Who knew that he actually chose Lize?!

It didn’t mean that the hly popular a the mercenaries as she was the leader of the Clerics Most of them had been rescued and treated by the Clerics so it was impossible that they would harbor hatred toward her Moreover, her kind gentleness ell liked by them But it was an entirely differentbattles because she was a reserved person Most of the mercenaries subconsciously perceived her as less capable than Marlene in leading and coaped with her h Rhode had just sentenced her to death…

“I know all of you have different opinions on my decision, but I truly think that Lize has the capability I seek your cooperation to obey Lize’s commands because her commands are my commands and you have to follow thee for Gillian to supervise; I hope you won’t disobey her If not… I won’t ulations”

Rhode swept a glance at the silent crowd and they nodded in agreeh they weren’t fully convinced, they had no reasons to object since Rhode had put up the guild regulations Gillian would also be supervising from the sides and who kneould Rhode punish them when he returned?

An unprecedented sense of fear and loneliness clouded Lize’scrowd She saw Marfa and his contemplative expression and Joey without his usual, wide slance at her and said nothing

ed a lot</eh Joey, Randolf, and Lapis had just joined the guild yesterday and the fresh iht that this young, wacky Thief had this serious side of hier who stooped to compromise in order to protect Lapis had become so unflustered

ht that she could live on like this forever She presu as she stayed behind the would be fine itation sprouted deep in her heart

The night had darkened

The Cloud Summit Fortress returned to its tranquility and the reinforce finally settled down Garcia stationed troops around the Fortress to the best of his abilities After all, the Southern Legion wasn’t their only enemy here Even if the Water Eleed froers and they would be slaughtered mercilessly As for Rhode’s men, he had cautioned the was and these guys were sh for Rhode trust them

But…

Knock knock knock</e at the pitch-black sky and thin fog drifting languidly He knew that there would only be one person ould visit hiradually Lize entered the room with an apparent painful, difficult expression as she clasped her palhts clouded her mind but she couldn’t utter a word She instinctively refused this responsibility that Rhode appointed her because she agreed that Gillian was the suitable candidate just like the others Gillian was smarter, read Rhode’s mind like a book, and the mercenaries supported her even e herself, especially after she realized the growth of Joey and Randolf, who had joined the guild later than her But it shouldn’t be a gament could lead to the death of many and these people were her companions, friends, and men… Could she take this risk? Could she sacrifice therowth and experience?
