Chapter 1042 - Temporary Ending (2/2)
The war in Casabianca shook the entire continent and almost every large-scale force was baffled. Not only were they stunned that the parliament was brazenly attempting to murder a Creator Dragon and even summoned Chaos devils to destroy this world, but they were also bewildered that Rhode and Lilian demolished Casabianca without batting an eyelid. Casabianca was the biggest city in the Light Mainland with hundreds of thousands of civilians. But now, it perished into ashes along with its occupants. What was more shocking was Rhode’s announcement thereafter. He declared that this was retribution for the people of Casabianca for their foolish and greedy ambitions against a Creator Dragon. Time and time again, those people taunted the Creator Dragon and attempted to steal her authority; this was their rightful punishment. Rhode also requested the entire Light Mainland to take caution that anyone who repeated similar actions like the parliament or attempted to steal the Creator Dragons’ authority would be killed on sight with the authority of the law!
After Rhode made these statements, the Light Mainland broke out in a panic instantly. Perhaps the Munn Kingdom wasn’t affected too much, but the Country of Light was extremely terrified. They would take it with a pinch of salt if it were only Rhode announcing it. But to their dismay, Lilian also supported the declaration which meant that this wasn’t just a threat and Rhode would take actions seriously. Even though angels weren’t the type of beings who would murder humans, Rhode had proven to everyone with his actions that angels weren’t the only ones capable of killing.
Of course, such overbearing threats naturally raised disapproval and discontentment from certain regions. However, they weren’t brave enough to retaliate after witnessing the wreckage and ruins of Casabianca. All they could do was to curse and criticize in their heads. But it didn’t affect Rhode at all as the drawing of dragon soul power would still be effective as long as the people submitted themselves to the dragon soul heir. Be it respect or fear, it would work as long as they were obedient.
After returning to the Void Territory, Rhode didn’t rest immediately as he had something he needed to do.
This was also why Erin was seated in front of him.
“I didn’t expect you to defeat the Chaos devils and chase them back to the abyss. Frankly, I’m really surprised, Your Majesty Rhode.” Laying down the cup of tea in her hand, Erin spoke with a wide smile. Her every movement was as elegant and graceful as usual, as well as mesmerizing like a beautiful dancer. But Rhode maintained his expressionless face, gazing at the young lady.
“That’s nothing, Your Highness Erin. As a Creator Dragon, it is natural to eliminate Chaos. This is our duty as Creator Dragons, isn’t it? Perhaps the method used isn’t acceptable, but what’s most important is the results. Every battle needs to be put to an end in the quickest way possible and not involve soft-hearted peace talks and discussions as it will only be wasting each other’s time and energy… I have no interest in wasting my resources with the devils, which was why I chose the most direct and convenient way, that’s all.”
Rhode spread his arms apart, his pitch-black eyes gazing at the moon princess.
“And the same goes for now, Your Highness Erin. I need your help for something important.”
“… I’m not a civilian of the Void Territory, Your Majesty Rhode. Besides, with my identity… my apologies, I may not be of any help to you.”
Erin felt a little uncertain after hearing Rhode’s words. But she maintained her gentle smile and spoke. Rhode wasn’t mindful of her answer. Instead, he also revealed a smile.
“No, Your Highness Erin, I understand your standpoint. But this matter… can only be accomplished by you.”
Rhode narrowed his eyes.
“I hope you can pass a message to His Majesty Ion on my behalf… Do you get what I mean, Your Highness Erin?”
At this moment, Erin finally understood what Rhode wished to express.
