Chapter 676 Between Light & Light (XIV)
Dragon Soul Cereon Soul After two days of anxious and anticipated preparation, it was finally about to begin
Everyone gathered in ts in the spotlessly white palace hall with soleon Soul Cereon Soul wouldn’t step out and speak to the people like Lydia in the Midsudoht Parliaon Soul would mention ‘inappropriate’ topics that weren’t favorable to thee headache if chaos broke out in the people On the other hand, the Munn Kingdoreedo to their conditions, in every annual Dragon Soul Cereiven three working days off to express their gratitude to the Creator Dragon Souls, which left the Light Parliausted as if they were forced to s a housefly Rhode knehat the Munn Kingdo This was just like how people remembered Children’s Day, Labor Day, and National Day clearly as these days more or less provided them with benefits and holidays As for a celebratory day like the Youth Day which didn’t provide theet about theht Mainland to provide three working days off for the people during the Dragon Soul Ceremony so the people would surely remember this ceremony in their heart Whenever people asked about it, they would know that the three days were on Soul, which entirely destroyed the Light Parliaon Soul’s existence
Rhode stood in front of the representative teae Amund in the first row Marlene, Derick, and Gaya stood in a row behind them, while Anne, Lize, and the others positioned theht to stand at the front in ter out in the crowd and she had to look after Anne well, just in case she caused any troubles in this grand, soleh the ceree nuon Soul protection But even so, the spacious, bright hall was h to accoh the coloured-glass on the do a fantasy-like radiance to the serious ath it was a sole around it Instead, he scanned the crowd curiously to find any familiar faces and as expected, he found some friends and even eneroups in the hall had indistinctly been divided into two cadoht Parliaht The neutral parties stood at the end to draw a distance from both camps and express their standpoints
Rhode noticed a skinny, elderly loo a distance away froly at Rhode and let out a snort after detecting Rhode’s gaze Then, he turned around as though nothing had happened But Rhode knehy this elderly man presented such an expression
The elderly man was Walter Chelis, the patriarch of the Chelis faathering for sworn eneed helplessly He remembered clearly when he annihilated the third heir of the Chelis fa his ather the Jade Tears Mercenary Group and went against Rhode However, the fallen ritual turned hily buried undergrounddeep for the clues to the scheht that caused the Ocean Trade Route incident and Paphield battle However, Rhode wasn’t too vigilant toward that elderly aze away If it were other overlord representatives, perhaps Rhode would have taken it to heart However, Rhode held no high regards since the elderly man was from Barce
The reason was fairly simple The Barce Dominion was an extreroups that illing to seize risky opportunities to gain benefits, the Barce Do self-willing
This was because neither the Parliament nor the Anti-Parliament camp welcomed them
Barce used to be part of the Anti-Parliadoht Parliaathered a whole of of wealth As a result, Barce had been looking to break out froht and become an independent nation For this reason, they once launched an ar that period when the Anti-Parliadoht Parliament sent out their troops to suppress Barce’s armed rebellion, but what happened next stunned everyone
In the start, Barce Doht Parliament However, as tiht Parlia Barce Doht while seeking assistance frodoreed to his appeal for help and sent out reinforces If the as successful, perhaps it could start a prairie fire against the Light Parlia to break free froht
But… this was only perhaps
When the Anti-Parliaive a beating, a piece of news left everyone dumbfounded: Barce surrendered
This piece of news came as a bolt from the blue It was unacceptable and even treated as an inappropriate joke However, it was the truth Barce didn’t wait for the reinforceression Instead, their knees weakened and not only did they give up instantly, but they also handed over General Lorraine Of course, he was eventually sentenced to the death penalty
This black comedy had left everyone in the Anti-Parliament wide-eyed and completely speechless They discovered that Barce was only a paper tiger as only great at growling, but was, in fact, terribly weak This large-scale battle that ht possibly turn into an independence battle ended abruptly What made the Anti-Parliament even more furious was that Barce actually handed over the docuht Parliament in order to express his devotion This had caused the Anti-Parliaht Parliament for a brief period Fortunately, the Anti-Parliadom as their pillar; if not, they would have been extremely miserable
It was due to this that Barce Dominion wasn’t well-liked in the Anti-Parliament camp Enemies were meant to be detested, while traitors were ing to the Anti-Parlia from another perspective, perhaps Barce could be considered the lackey of the Light Parliah their desires for independence had failed, Barce couldn’t forget the potential ‘great feats’ if they broke free froht, the territorial wealth of Barce was considered huge Their wealth had been used by the Light Parlialy dissatisfied Barce as they believed that the large sums of ht Parliament and not meant to be donated As a result, they wanted to be independent fro their money to support the poor people But this ti action However, the probleht had been spread by the overlords of Barce in public venues Not only that, but the proures of Barce Do that Barce should be an independent country and not a territory of the Country of Light The Light Parliament became aware of this and detested Barce Doainst theal But it was as annoying as a swar around their ears Not only that, but also on large-scale gatherings, Barce Do of the Country of Light, which placed the Light Parliament in a horrible position Many of the parliaet rid of this bunch of worthless bastards
The Anti-Parliaht Parliament’s predicaed to watch the show, but never in favor of recruiting Barce back into their forces
Rhode shi+fted his gaze and narrowed his eyes The atmosphere in the hall was tense At thisstern expressions as they knew that this wasn’t as si the camp It could be considered as the only choice to divide between enele horn filled the hall Rhode and the crowd turned to face the wide, scarlet carpet that led to the large doors Shortly after, the grand doors opened gradually and two Battle Angels eon Soul
Unlike Munn Kingdoels ht Battle Angels seldodom due to Lydia’s self-discipline After all, it would be disturbing for the people if Battle Angels were to fly around in the sky all day But Battle Angels were still highly respected in other territories apart froht as they possessed powerful strength, were kind-hearted, and willing to assist the people However, the situation was different in the Country of Light After years of brainwashi+ng by the Light Parliailant against the Battle Angels, where they treated the to accept their kind gestures They believed that the Battle Angels had ulterior estures and that was to els However, the people would never give up their prides as Huels basically wouldn’t appear before the people in the Country of Light Rhode had even heard that alel Arned to Lydia Of course In name, they existed to exterminate evil presences and maintain peace and harmony But Rhode was clear that even Buddha would be furious to face such treatht so they were better off going to places where they would receive the respect that they deserved Taking down evil presences was nothing more than an excuse Everyone knew that the nobles of the Country of Light were the ones ere ic, curses, and Deht Mainland
Rhode sensed as though the atmosphere in the entire hall had frozen, which made him feel rather uncoels raising the flags stood before the crowd and formed a barrier to keep the people away frole horns in their hands flew into the hall and spun above everyone before quietly landing on both sides of the ele horns
