Chapter 915 - Lurking Dangers (2/2)
“Sir Overlord, since they aren’t willing to surrender, we might as well let them perish on their own. Why do we care about them? We have more than enough things to care about in our territory.”
Sol said with knitted brows and this time before Rhode said anything, Marlene objected.
“That is impossible. The Highland City is located under the Void Dragon soul protection. According to the Creation Rule, any cities under the dragon soul protection belong to the rightful dragon soul heir. If we acknowledge their independence, won’t anyone be able to build their cities whenever they like in our territory? Also, if we allow this to happen, what will the others think about us?”
“But now, the Country of Light doesn’t seem to be leaving the matter at that~”
Gillian sat on the chair, narrowed her eyes, and waved her index finger.
“They claimed that they support the Highland City, strongly condemned our actions, and even said that they will do whatever it takes to support the independence of the Highland City~”
“Anne thinks that we should get into a fight with them and let them have a taste of our power!”
Anne grumbled furiously.
“But… If we use violence… won’t others think that we are too…”
Lize said worriedly.
“It doesn’t matter, Lize. Since they don’t want to surrender, we should teach them a lesson. It’s the same situation as last year. Didn’t they stop their nonsense after Her Royal Highness Lydia defeated the group of southern idiots? Anne thinks that disobedient children should be spanked!”
Lize sighed and gave up trying to argue with Anne. She felt that Anne made sense, but… Marlene obviously had a different view.
“It isn’t good timing for us to start a battle. It is mostly refugees in our territory who craved for peace and harmony. If we start a fight now, they will surely feel tense no matter how much time we take to gain victory. So, I don’t suggest using this method and this should only be used as a last resort. Besides, we can’t confirm if Highland City has the same opinion as the Country of Light. We must do some investigations…”
“This settles it then.”
Rhdoe raised his arm and interrupted.
“I will send men to investigate Highland City before deciding our next step. I feel that it must be that damned Light Parliament stirring trouble in the back.”
“Are you going there too, Rhode?”
Marlene revealed a difficult expression.
“Your identity is different now. If you’re heading there personally… It may easily cause problems.”
“Don’t worry, Marlene.”
Rhode twitched his brows and revealed a smile.
“Although I’m heading there myself, I didn’t say that I’m going there as ‘Rhode Alander.”
