Chapter 1219 - Dark Region (3) (1/2)
The news that Neo gave Rhode made the latter finally face the underground world squarely. Rhode’s initial plan was to let Nell lead them into Carlesodar City and use their tunnels to enter the outer region of the Darkness Capital. As Carlesodar City was the core of the Dark Region and largest city for dark elves, traffic was accessible from all sides. But now, Carlesodar City was under lockdown, which meant that Rhode’s group couldn’t continue with their journey and had to find another way. It was a pity that the underground was unlike the surface. If it were a tall mountain, Rhode could transform into his dragon form and soar over it. But in the face of solid rock walls, he didn’t have other solutions. He couldn’t simply transform into the Void Dragon and barge his way through, right? That would be too embarrassing.
“I think we can still continue since Carlesodar City is just ahead.”
Gazing at the underground map before him, Rhode shook his head. The map that was more intricate than a spider web gave him a huge headache. But he was certain that if he didn’t continue with this path, they would spend several days reaching their destination.
“But…”
Upon hearing Rhode’s words, Nell knitted her brows with a complicated look.
“Carlesodar City has always raised their guard against outsiders in the first place. Normally, with my network, there shouldn’t be a problem sneaking in. But now, Carlesodar City has been sealed off. If we insist on slipping through, it will be difficult.”
“Why must we sneak in?”
Upon hearing Nell’s remarks, Rhode seemed surprisingly calm. He swept a glance at the icon that represented Carlesodar City, before rolling up the map and putting it into the folds of his clothes.
“Since they don’t allow us to enter, we will just fight our way through.”
“… Huh?”
Nell widened her eyes in astonishment, lifting her head and gazing at Rhode in disbelief. Rhode’s expression remained unchanged. He tidied his clothes and swept a look at Nell. Upon hearing Rhode’s response, Mini Bubble Gum raised her arms immediately and started screaming.
“That’s right! That’s my Leader! Didn’t we always do that in the game? We trampled any bast*rds who stood in our way! What’s so powerful about Carlesodar City? Back then, we even trounced the entire continent with Leader!”
“But we didn’t attack the underground world last time.”
Icy Snow curled her lips, glared at Bubble, and grumbled. Facing Icy Snow’s refute, Mini Bubble Gum waved her arm mindlessly.
“No dif, Little Icy. Didn’t we come here to accomplish that?”
“… Hmph!”
Upon hearing the name that Bubble called her, Icy Snow pulled a long face, stomped her foot on the ground, and turned around to stop speaking to Bubble. Ever since they confirmed their ‘sister-relationship’, the two Bubbles had been treating Icy Snow as the younger sister, infuriating Icy Snow to a complete loss. Even though Icy Snow knew this was Bubble’s sophistry, the former with a serious personality still agreed to Bubble’s words, but it was impossible for her to accept it convincingly…
“Are we going in for a fight? Awesome. Anne hasn’t fought with Leader in a while~”
On the other side, Anne raised her arms in excitement and couldn’t wait to jump into battle. Judging from her thrilled look, Rhode wasn’t surprised if Anne were to retrieve the shield on her back and smash someone with it. Cassidy, who stood on the side, remained silent. But judging from Cassidy’s behavior, it was obvious that she wouldn’t object to Rhode’s suggestion. As for Angelina, as a vampire from the first vampire family, those dark elves were basically no different from human slaves in Angelina’s perspective. The so-called Carlesodar City was nothing more than an over-sized pigsty to her.
“I suggest you reconsider your options, Master.”
Witnessing the various reactions, Nell was the most panicky one. She stood in front of Rhode in a fluster to block his way, waving her hands and speaking sternly.
