Rhode was unfazed by Celia’s ambush In fact, he had expected this to happen because he knew that this Battle Angel was a serious and rigid person Moreover, Rhode’s ht not be accepted by other huh Celestina had made a solemn vow to Rhode that Celia wouldn’t harh to believe her Even though Rhode considered that Celestina didn’t lie to hi exactly truthful Theythese past few days, but Rhode refused to believe that this cunning De lady would trust hihts were accurate

“Explanation?”

“Yes, Master Although I understand your view on this, I hope to hear it from you personally Why did you choose such a cruel method? We don’t need to disturb the lives of the civilians and sioal will be sufficient,” Celia said cal flaarded the blade by his neck and he leaned back on his seat with his ar lady

“Indeed, that’s your el, but I’m not… I’m a human… And humans have their own practices and standards of conduct Everyone has principles that they hold onto and that’s the same for me I don’t wish to explain the words that I’ve said to Celestina twice The only thing that I will tell you is… As long as I get the victory that I want, I don’tthe cruel choice… I can tell you that this is for the King’s Party, for the Southern civilians to lean towards Golden City, and also for our plans to turn out well, which will also weaken the eneth Of course, these are reasons, and ive me firm, reliable victory,” Rhode spread his arms apart “And now, I need you to be the final piece of the puzzle, Celia You’re the key to this plan and I hope you can understand and accept… This isn’t a request”

“…” Celia displayed a conflicted expression er, sadness, and pain “Master, I have no rights to meddle with your freedoet the victory, nothing will be the probleestured with his hand “There’s no need to explain that only victory and not failure is permitted I don’t see the need for ht”

Rhode revealed a pair of malevolent eyes that Celia had never seen before “Because this is necessary and I won’t accept anything other than victory”

Celia didn’t hear what Rhode added on at the end She was intimidated by his eyes Ever since she ca, she was the Holy Sword spirit that spent the most time with Rhode But she had never ever seen hiry wolf on the verge of death, tearing its prey to shreds with bloodshot eyes, using all its ht in order to survive This fanatical wildness was beyond human rationality and ale eyes sent chills down her spine and she hadn’t felt this way in a long tih an invisible, gigantich her throat At this e, demon-like shackles

“Celia?”

“Ah…?” The strange radiance in Rhode’s eyes had vanished and he didn’t seem anywhere different However, that expression had been deeply i and she nodded sih I don’t like this method… I will act in accordance with your plan”

Celia gave up considering the reasons that Rhode had decided Instead, her head was full of questions as to why he would have such fanatical eht that Rhode would be pressured by soh before taking the next step, handled matters calmly, and resorted to any th, position, and identity had ireatly So, ould he act this way?

of?

Rhode was somewhat surprised to see Celia obey his words that quickly He didn’t knohat caused her strange behavior, but since the matter had been resolved and she didn’t seeh to bring this ain

“Okay then, you can have your rest, Celia We willwas torture for General Michael With bloodshot eyes, he looked lifelessly at the red clouds, tinged with sunset hues by the horizon This senior had never in his life wished for the sun to fall below the horizon at a later tih he had sent a frantic letter to the Reformist Party, he knew that he wouldn’t leave this place unless necessary No matter what, this here all the Southern civilians’ foodstuff was and if he left, the South would be in further unrest and the civilians would be i that General Michael wished to see

The situation at hand didn’t turn out better and the biggest headache he had was that he couldn’t find the rumored ‘Undead Army’

General Michael are that the Necroes and he also knew that the Necroer On one hand, he was extremely worried about the near future and on the other hand, he was glad that he could spot them much easier with that many Undead Creatures around the Necromancer Due to this, General Michael had dispatched several scouts to search for the cunning Necro spot so that he could set up his defenses appropriately

Of course, he wasn’t aware that the enemies weren’t true Undead Creatures They were just cards that could be withdrawn after dealing with their business Rhode had been roa about alone and this hy General Michael couldn’t spot anything suspicious at all

This made General Michael really distressed After all, the Undead Creatures’ whereabouts were indefinite and they were h he had been on the alert and dispatched the scouts ie, the scouts couldn’t spot any Undead Creatures when they had arrived Instead, it was only the burning village and the strange ruins without a single corpse

General Michael felt exceptionally fearful about thethened the roups of soldiers to rotate in standing guard, to which the soldiers grumbled endlessly He had no time to be concerned about this problem anymore He wished that this unfortunate trouble would be resolved as soon as possible and he would be truly free of worldly worries

He let out a long sigh at this thought Even though he was exhausted, a decision from the Southern Parlia’ discussion, the Reformist Party had finally decided toof private soldiers, city guards, and Southern Legion guards to his Stronghold He would also be fully responsible for all of them

In this critical juncture General Michael didn’t kno much of his command would be respected by the miscellaneous troops because they were the hardest to discipline altogether However, there were at least 1,500 soldiers and with the hold, he wouldn’t have any worries even if he had to launch an attack

Clomp clomp clomp!

A series of rapid footsteps sounded froeneral puckered his brows and turned toward the pale-faced orderly “R-Reporting Sir We have just received a help signal The reinforcehold have been ambushed by the Undead Army in Kyrol River!”

The senior turned pale-faced instantly

Scarlet radiance illue of the riverbank and the river reflected its brilliance glaringly Rhode twitched his brows as he looked at the h norant masses are reinforcements dispatched by those idiots?” Celestia said with a scornful senerously displayed her contempt and disdain for these enee mobs of trash?”

“This is the best opportunity,” Rhode said without batting an eyelid The reason why he predicted that the reinforceh attainuessable that the Reformist Party had sent miscellaneous troops just to appease the civilians and they had even called this decision as an ‘alliance to protect civilians’ The civilians had been pacified by them for now, but, on the other hand, Rhode are of their exact location and it wouldn’t be difficult for hih the Reformist Party’s blockade defense and penetrate deeply all by himself
