At this moment, in Rhode's study, the atmosphere seemed a little nervous and serious. Rhode sat quietly behind the desk, his face calm as before, without any expression. He looked over and over with a letter that had been opened in his hand, looking very bored. However, everyone who walked into the room could feel a different aura spreading in the room.

Canary and Little Bubble Gum sat aside without saying a word. The former focused on reading a book of experiences and experiences of the bard, while the latter shook his legs bored and stared at the scenery outside the window. Whether it was the identity of the two as phantom guards or the original player, they naturally knew the development of the situation. They knew everything that Moon was about to encounter in the past, present and future, just like Rhodes. However, perhaps because they were not living humans, both the canary and Little Bubble Gum seemed to have no interest in changing the fate and the cloud of war that this continent was about to face. Of course, it was also possible that they knew that they were out of reach, so they simply ignored it.

Lijie sat on the chair with a little nervousness, with doubts and uneasiness on her face, which was also a representative expression of everyone except Canary and Little Bubble Gum. She didn't know why Rhode summoned everyone because of a mercenary, and why Rhode, who had always been in a state of collapse and had a constant expression, rarely showed such a nervous mood, let alone Lijie also saw the wax mark on the letter - no matter what, Lijie was once a royal princess, and at least she was very clear about the mark of the Wang family.

The matter is related to the royal family and to Sister Litia. This is the only judgment and conjecture that Lijie has been able to make so far, but it has not helped her get closer to the truth of the matter.

The study was quiet until the arrival of Shanna and Walker finally broke the silence again.

"Hey, boy, the first thing you do after you come back is to call me. Can't you respect the elderly and love the young?"

Old Walker walked into the room with great strides, came to Rhode and put all the thick stack of intelligence information in his hand on the table.

"This is what you want. I've screened most of the information. To be honest, I don't know what it's useful to ask for this thing, but I can guarantee the source. These are all obtained through the relationship network between that guy Chauvin and me, so there is no problem."

"very good."

Hearing Old Walker's words, Rod nodded slightly. Then he made a gesture after seeing Shana and Marlene walking into the room, signaling each other to close the door. After everyone sat down, he spoke.

"I think everyone may be wondering why I want to gather you all at this time, and I don't think you are fools either. You should have noticed something has happened... In fact, it is true that we have encountered something very urgent and serious."

"What's up?"

Old Walker couldn't help but frown when he heard Rod's words, and Rhode nodded to him. Then he placed the letter in his hand on the table - it was a letter written on the finest white paper, wrapped inside the same white and inlaid with a badge made of gold thread. A discerning person could see the conspicuous sign on the envelope.

Angel of the Double Swords.

"Just just now, we received a task order issued directly by the royal family."

Speaking of this, Rhode shook the envelope in his hand.

"So now, we Xingguang will take over this mission."

"us?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The atmosphere in the originally quiet study suddenly became tense. Lijie tightened her hands and looked at the letter paper in Rhode's hand with an urgent look. Marlin raised her brows slightly, and the expression on her face did not change at all. However, a complex light flashed in her eyes. Only Qilian, Canary and Little Bubble Gum were still not concerned about this. They still did what they should do, and there was no change at all. However, the expressions of Old Walker and Shanna changed a little, and a warm light shone in their eyes. As mercenaries with deep qualifications, Old Walker and Shanna certainly understood what this meant. The direct order from the royal family means that Xingguang has completely possessed a powerful liberation.

Damn. Although the royal command tasks are not recorded in the archives of the Mercenary Association, because in many cases, such tasks are state secrets and are naturally difficult to keep in the records of the third-party mercenary association. But even so, once the task is completed, the benefits obtained by the mercenary association are very large, which is not only material wealth, but also political assistance. Over the years, facing the two wealthy opponents of Liberty Wings and Tianjian, the Purple Lily Guild and Cole Eagle, which are far inferior to theirs in terms of money and wealth, is as stable as Mount Tai because they have obtained the royal political resources. If the starlight where Rhodes is located can also get the political support of the royal family, it will be beneficial and harmless for their development.

However, if you have something to gain, you have to pay. It is not easy to get the trust of the royal family... Thinking of this, Old Walker and Shana looked at Rhodes with a little more respect. Rhodes was willing to tell them about this, which was already a great trust in them. After all, the royal mission is generally top secret, and unless they are close friends, they would not tell anyone at all. Now, Rhodes is willing to tell them about this, which has satisfied the two of them.

This shows that their efforts are not without gain.

"Shana."

Seeing the expressions of the two, Rhodes did not say anything, but issued an order directly.

"We will leave the fortress for the next period of time. I hope you manage the affairs of the stronghold well. I heard that the group of southerners have started to get excited again recently. This is not a good sign. If anything happens, you can go to Canary and Bubble for help. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord Rhodes."

Hearing Rhode's order, Shana nodded. After seeing her response, Rhode looked at Old Walker on the other side.

"Mr. Walker. This time I need you to take action in person to collect the movements of the border between the Kingdom of Light and Moon. I want to know what the Kingdom of Light has been doing for this period of time... Remember, report immediately no matter what happens. You can convey the information to the Canary. Then just follow her instructions. Is there any problem?"

"The border between the Kingdom of Light and Moon? This is a big project. Little Devil."

Hearing Rhode's orders, Old Walker thought for a while, then he raised his head and looked at Rhode with a sharp look, then jumped one after another, and finally landed on the canary. Then the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then Old Walker stood up like that.

"Okay, it's okay? Then I'll go now. As long as you're not afraid of being crushed to death by the messy rumors like a mountain, I have nothing to care about."

Speaking of this, Old Walker patted Shana's shoulder next to him.

"Okay, there's nothing we have to do, let's go."

"Okay, Mr. Walker."

Hearing this, Shana also stood up and saluted Rod solemnly and seriously, and then the two turned around and left. Looking at the two of them leaving, Rod didn't say much. He just remained silent for a moment, and then looked at the others.

"Okay. Next is the content of the task."

Rhode patted the envelope and frowned.

"This mission is very troublesome. I will bring all the combat powers that I can rely on - that is, Marlene, Anne, Lijie. You must be prepared. Let's set out with me and go to the Soragang Mountains."

"So what to do with the fortress?"

Hearing this, Marin couldn't help but ask with some concern. Originally, this fortress was handed over to Marin and Rhodes to manage. Now if the two people in charge of fortress affairs were not present, then the fortress would likely have unexpected chaos. However, because of this, Marin keenly felt that this mission must be unusual. Even when facing the five-star mission of the Mercenary Association, Rhodes did not take her out together, in order to calm the peaceful and stable environment in the fortress. But now, Rhodes chose to do this - is it said that the enemy this time very difficult?

"The fortress is temporarily handed over to the canary to manage. She once......" When she said this, Rhode paused for a moment, then looked at the girl who was reading a book beside him. When he noticed Rhode's gaze, the canary raised his head, smiled at Rhode, and then nodded. "...... She used to be my adjutant, and she still has a certain ability in this regard... Hearing this sentence, Marin felt her heart twitch, and she subconsciously looked at the canary, bit her lip but didn't know what to say. At the same time, deep in her heart, an extremely complex emotion came towards Marin. It was mixed with frustration, hesitation, pain, joy and sin.

The feeling of feeling mixed together. Marlene knew the life experience of Canary. It was precisely because of this that after hearing Rhode's words, her inner feeling was particularly complicated. After all, no matter how you look at it, Miss Canary and Rhode are more suitable for each other. She is very beautiful, gentle, and very likable. Although she does not have a prominent family background, she has more strength than herself. Moreover, looking at Miss Canary, she also likes Rhode very much. After Rhode's statement just now, she once stood by this man and gave him great help. Unfortunately, the girl at present has lost her life, and only the shadow of her soul remains.

But it is precisely this that is worth celebrating...

Thinking of this, Marlin's body trembled slightly. She hurriedly suppressed the cold and dark joy deep in her heart, and concentrated again, forcing herself to throw the feeling she had just left behind.

"I understand, Rhodes, I will prepare the fortress affairs and hand it over to Miss Canary. But...whether is the mission assigned by the royal family going to?"

“Sora Hill.”

"Soragang?!!"

Hearing the name from Rhodes, Marlene finally couldn't sit still and stood up again, with a hint of shock and uneasiness on her face. Seeing her expression, Lijie, who was sitting next to her, also asked with some anxiety: "Malene? Where is that Soragang Mountain? Do you know?"

"Of course I know..."

Hearing Lijie's inquiry, Marlene nodded. Then she calmed down and explained to Lijie.

"Soragang Mountain is a rare stable point located at the junction of the Dragon Kingdom of Dark Night, which is rich in magic crystal minerals and is a region rich in minerals. The Dragon Kingdom of Dark Night and the Dragon Kingdom of Dark Night had a long war to compete for this place. Later, the two sides were stalemate. In the end, after negotiation between the Dragon of Dark Night and the Dragon of Dark Night, it decided to truce. The Mountain of Sooragang was entrusted to the Duchy of Mun, who was the loyal follower of the Dragon of Dark Night, but also maintained good relations with the Dragon of Dark Night, and also held a good relationship with the Dragon of Dark Night.

Of course, it is said that it is trusteeship. It is just a surveillance. Finally, after the unanimous decision of both parties, the Solagang Mountains were retained in the form of a self-dominated territory. In this way, the Solagang Mountains can survive in the gap between the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom and the Light Dragon Kingdom... Of course, as part of the terms, any official personnel and troops of both sides are not allowed to enter the Solagang Mountains without prior announcement, because this is likely to be visualized by the other party as a precursor to the annexation of the Solagang Mountains."

Speaking of this, Marlene paused for a moment, then she frowned and looked at Rhodes.

"But now, since the royal family ordered us to go to the Solagang Mountains to perform tasks, it means...yes, there is a sign of turmoil in the Solagang Mountains."

Faced with Marlene's inquiry, Rhode nodded slightly, and stretched out his finger and tapped the letter from the royal family that was placed on the table.

"His Highness Lydia has written the general story of the matter in it. She has noticed the unstable behavior in the Soragang Mountain Territory. It was rumored that someone in the Soragang Mountain Territory was trying to seek asylum from the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, in order to investigate the situation, His Highness Lydia entrusts Victor and his Cole Eagle Guild to investigate."

Speaking of this, Rhode couldn't help but curl his lips. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with His Highness Lydia's failure to choose at that time. But if you think about it carefully, it is of course easier to trust those close friends who have been following him for a long time than trusting the new forces who have just joined this circle. Moreover, the Solagang Mountains are of great importance and must be guarded against. But this is what it means.

"According to the results of Mr. Victor's investigation, there is indeed a group of people seeking asylum from the Dark Dragon Kingdom and trying to propose this proposal in the Soragang Mountains Council. According to the self-knowledge clause of the Soragang Mountains, once two-thirds of the majority of the members of the Parliament pass the proposal, it will be considered officially effective. However, the Speaker of the Soragang Mountains Council is a stable conservative and his powerful force, which makes it difficult to pass the proposal - but just a few days ago, the Speaker and his group were attacked when they went out."

Speaking of this, Rhode paused for a moment and then looked at everyone.

"Attack from the Dragon of Light."

"Why?!!"

Hearing this sentence, Lijie and Anne screamed in surprise. Marlene didn't say anything, but her face was already deep as ice.

"Annie doesn't understand... Didn't that Speaker stop the mountain from taking refuge in the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom? Then why was the person who attacked him from the Dark Dragon Kingdom?"

"Because this is good for the Dragon Kingdom of Light."

Faced with Anne's inquiry, Rhode shrugged and spread his hands.

"A long time ago, the agreement agreed in the treaty signed by both sides was that the Soragang Mountain Territory must be permanently neutral. Once the Mountain Territory Council made a decision to seek asylum in the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom, it would be equivalent to breaking the treaty, because the idiots in the Light Dragon Kingdom Council could attack the Soragang Mountain Territory in a blatant way to seize the delicious meal they had been coveting."

“But, but………………”

Lijie looked a little panicked. It was no wonder that although she was a princess, she had been separated from politics since a long time ago and lived as an ordinary mercenary. Now she was involved in such a complex political struggle at once, and could rise to the threat of war. This was really too exciting for Lijie.

"But since Soragang Mountain Territory seeks asylum from the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom, even if the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom attacks, will the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom protect them? In this way, the total war between the two sides... can't they think of this?"

"It's not that they can't imagine, but they still have to do it."

Speaking of this, Rhodes picked up the information brought by Old Walker on the table.

"Next year will be the election of the Dragon of Light. In recent years, because the domestic problems of the Dragon of Light have frequently appeared, the national strength has begun to weaken. It has even reached the level of relying on the funds given by His Highness Lidya, the Principality of Moon, to solve the problem. In addition, the previous trend of the trade road blockade, although the final problem has been solved, the people of the President of the Parliament have also dropped greatly. In this way, the possibility of his re-election in next year's election is almost slim. And if the news of Soragang Mountain seeking asylum to the Dragon of the Dark Night comes out, then he can exchange the letter from the people through a tough attitude

The Solagang Mountain Territory, which contains rich crystal minerals, is also very helpful in solving the current resource problems of the Light Dragon Kingdom. In addition, the new dragon soul successor of the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom has only been on the stage for a few years. The Light Dragon Council must have believed that as long as it is famous, the other party dares not make any big moves. What's more, the Law Kingdom is on the side. When the Dark Night Dragon Kingdom and the Light Dragon Kingdom signed a treaty on the Solagang Mountain Territory, it was carried out under the attention of the Twin Dragons of the Trials of the Trials of the Trials of the Necessary Times. Therefore, at the time of necessity, the Light Dragon Council could also establish its legitimacy by moving out the trump card of the Law Kingdom."

Speaking of this, Rhode couldn't help but snorted coldly. Although it was just one possibility to ordinary people, Rhode knew very well that the reason why the Dragon Kingdom of Light had used the Soragang Mountain Territory as a breakthrough was to make this idea and abacus. However, they did not expect that things did not develop as they expected. On the contrary, they opened a pressure valve for the Dragon Kingdom of Night, which was striving to balance the forces of the new and old domestic sects. After that, the Kingdom of France was still slightly strangely silent and did not look like the Light.

The Dragon Kingdom Council came out to uphold justice as expected, which made the Dragon Kingdom Council of Light originally planned to use the Soragang Mountains to ensure its political status and at the same time attack the Dragon Kingdom of Dark Night and the Duchy of Mun become a foolish plan to open the door and allow others to invade. Then it was swallowed by the Dragon Kingdom of Dark Night, and finally even the Dragon Spirit of Light itself was given to the enemy... It is rare for people to be so stupid, or it is really rare to be brainwashed or hypnotized to this extent.

"Then, our mission is.........."

Rhode paused after hearing Marlene's inquiry.

"Fortunately, the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom of Light did not show their identity when they attacked the Speaker and their ranks, while Victor and others took the opportunity to protect them, but even so, they were still trapped in a siege. This time, His Highness Lydia's order was to order us to rescue the President of the Sorrahung Mountains and others and escort them back to the Sorrahung Mountains before the start of their Sorrahung Mountains."

Then, Rhode spoke.
