Chapter 789: A Surprising Conclusion
The battle had already ended for quite a while when the sun rose above the horizon
It seeht ever since the Undead Arht Parlia known of their achievements to boost morale, the truth was otherwise After the battle ended, the furious ht Parliament that Rhode ordered his barrier troops to attack the other soldiers froh Andre knehat Rhode was planning, the other idiots couldn’t figure him out at all They were sure that they couldn’t have resisted the enemies and would have seized the chance to flee However, they didn’t expect that the barrier troops blocked their path and requested them to return to the battlefield The soldiers who finally had this chance to escape refused to obey their orders and as a result, they were annihilated on the spot by the barrier troops The other soldiers ere about to flee the battlefield gave up on this thought after witnessing their plight
It was iainst them and this was especially so after the battle ended and the Light Parliaated However, the answer that they received was that… It was all Rhode’s command
“I orried that the northern battlefront would crumble under the enemies’ constant attack Therefore, I specially sent troops to provide ‘assistance’,” Rhode said He leaned back and watched the ashenfists No one knew if Rhode purposely eh we belong to different caned and that is to defend the Winter Castle, stop the infiltration of the Undead Army, and protect the people frooal, we should abandon our differences in opinions and work together I was extremely worried when the northern battlefront almost crumbled to the Undead Army, so I had to take some extreme measures to ensure that our victory was secure from the foolish actions of soazed silently with an ashen expression In fact, this was the truth Many had witnessed the injured soldiers retreating with intentions of fleeing However, after the others witnessed their unfortunate plight, they had no choice but to change their opinion and continue battling If no one atching them from the rear, perhaps they would have already escaped No matter what, they had secured their victory now and didn’t sacrifice the direct arht Parliament Rhode’s method could be considered to have preserved the military’s honor
However, the problem was that Rhode’s brazen behaviors showed no respect to the military Of course, they knew that Rhode didn’t need to react to their objections But they just couldn’t tolerate such a treatment which explained why they reported the ht Parliament was overjoyed when they heard the report and asserted to the church that Rhode had violated the agreereed beforehand that the military couldn’t command Rhode and Rhode couldn’t intervene with the reement!
Rhode calmly expressed that he didn’t intervene with their orders because he didn’t give any commands to the northern battlefront As for why he sent the barrier troops to the rear of the northern battlefront, he also gave a firm answer
“I want to ensure that the southern battlefront wouldn’t be affected”
In the end, the church didn’t accept the Light Parliareeest or coree attacks on the Light Parliament’s direct army, so it wasn’t within the church’s concern This left the Light Parliament utterly speechless
As the core member of the anti-parliaht Parliaht Parliament raised their objections, Rhode requested froreed!
In the earlier battle, Rhode had generously sacrificed 4500 Magma Guards and their self-explosions broke down 30,000 troops of the Undead Army, which was a cost-effective trade On the other hand, only 500 Ocean Elves narrowly escaped Rhode had plans for Agatha and the Ocean Elves to gain EXP here and wasn’t foolish enough to send theraves However, it was another ht Parlia to fulfill his request because according to the agreeold coins!
3000 gold coins!
In the Light Mainland, the pensions for ordinary soldiers were estiold coins and yet he requested 3000 of theotiations weren’t successful in the beginning The Light Parliaold, they wouldn’t even be worth 300 gold coins, not to o easy on them He even old coins was a steal If not, he would have asked for at least 5000 gold coins
As a result… It ht Parliaold coins!
Of course they weren’t willing to Perhaps they ht still accept this truth if Rhode had sacrificed 4500 elite huh quality equip spent on them orth quite a lot But for 4500 fire elemental creatures… What was this all about?
There was nobecause they would have done so earlier Back then when Rhode had just arrived at the Winter Castle, the Light Parliareereed because there wasn’t any specification that the reinforceht Parliament say now? Of course, they could only tell bald-faced lies that Rhode’s reinforcements weren’t effective at all and weakened their importance But was that possible? The problem was that this was an alliance and everyone was clear that if it weren’t for Rhode’s forces and the Holy Maiden Statues that he brought, they could only drea the eneht Parliament had no choice but to fork out the pension Initially, they looked forward to Rhode sending someone to collect the money so they could vent their frustrations However, they waited, waited, and finally, it was the church’s representatives that arrived They came to verify the amount of pension and transport it to Rhode
Froht Parliaer
Rhode didn’t give a daht Parliah the commercial trade in this world wasn’t as advanced as in the real world, it wasn’t considered too backward either The other reason why he had gotten the church to receive the pension on his behalf was so he didn’t need to show himself as he could old coins were instantly transferred into the Land of Atonement fortress Of course, this didn’t mean that the church had to physically transport 135 on Soul Continent had its own old, silver, and copper coins were used for daily transactions However, platinum coins and diamonds of equal values were used when the transfer ae If the amount was astronoe forces such as the heaven coin of the Light Mainland which was le heaven coin held the saold coins Therefore, the church only needed to transport 1350 heaven coins to the Land of Atonee theold coins Of course, he wouldn’t even need to exchange if he directly used them in his construction system…
However, the currency value was different for each unique force, just like the heaven coin for the Light Mainland and spirit coin for the Dark Mainland The foric crystal while the latter was made with spirit prisms They were considered currencies that were available in the Dragon Soul Continent But on the contrary, the blood coin that orth a few copper in hell was less The church completely unified the different currencies and foron Soul Continent From a certain aspect, it could be said that the Country of Law had dominated this world
However, this wasn’t a proble the Undead Army, he didn’t return to the Land of Atone toward the Winter Castle now and he had tofor Sonia’s report
Sonia visited hiht Parliament’s representative Of course, on the surface, she was here to represent the military to oppose him But in fact, she was here to report about the insider news regarding Lilian’s delayed schedule to the Winter Castle
However, the conclusion of Sonia’s investigation astonished him
“Are you sure?”
Rhode sat on the chair and gazed at her with knitted brows Sonia nodded and gave a firm answer
