The roars of the wolves were heard, and they gathered around, exposing their sharp fangs and exhaling warm breath from their nostrils.

However, this feeling is all too familiar to Rhodes. In Black Hammer Castle, he interacts with the white bear Ursok every day. The breath exhaled from the giant bear's mouth is more bloody and warm than this. Hundreds of

Being with wild beasts day and night, Rhodes had no feeling for wild beasts. Seeing these domesticated wolves was more like seeing a group of well-behaved dogs...

In front of him, Benedick, Lord of Grizzly Bear Castle, showed a sly smile of satisfaction. He seemed to be waiting for the captors to kneel down and beg for mercy, and for Rhodes to be surrounded by wolves, howling and screaming... However, only a few wolves were seen.

The moment they surrounded me, I lost my original wolf nature...

I don’t know what kind of methods this lord from the north used, but the ferocious wolves sat down obediently the moment they touched Rhodes. The previously fierce and blood-red eyes were replaced by peaceful and friendly gazes.

They were acting cute at Rhodes' feet, and the scene was simply unbearable to watch...

Using the animal taming skills that Yeskovitch taught him, Rhodes easily controlled these wolves, caressing them from time to time, and using his fingers to rub their bellies from time to time, so intimate... Even the animal trainers on the side were also

They were dumbfounded. They risked their lives to train these wild wolves and spent countless days and nights to gain the trust of the wolves. However, this foreigner in front of them actually trained the wolves to be obedient in minutes.

As if he is their biological father...

Finally, Benedick couldn't bear it anymore. He coughed twice and signaled the animal trainer to drag his unlucky wolf cubs away. He had something to say to the intruder.

Several war wolves were dragged away from Rhodes reluctantly. At this time, Benedick cleared his throat and said in a normal voice——

"Tell me, what benefits did the Snow Queen give you? You traveled thousands of miles to come to me, and you are the first person in my castle who is not affected by the wolves."

It has to be said that the Lord of Grizzly Bear Castle is very honest and dares to take risks. Unlike other noble lords, who are cunning and artificial, doing one thing before others and another after others. Benedick dares to let the wolf go, but at the same time, he also

Dare to admit that he is despicable and unfair in doing so. It is unfair to negotiate with a frightened person. If it were not for the special situation, Rhodes would really like to make friends with this southern lord.

"No, she didn't promise to give me any benefits. This is what a minister should do."

Rhodes replied loudly. This was not what he meant, but just in case, Rhodes still had to say this. Everyone knew that Benedick was against the Queen, otherwise he would not refuse to send troops and keep a tight seal.

City gate. But Rhodes can't guarantee that there are no Queen's men or spies in this castle. After all, Kislev's secret police are very good. They are pervasive, just like those dirty rats in the sewer, they will always be in a

Someone is secretly observing you in some dark corner. Perhaps even Benedick himself has not noticed that there is someone from the Snow Queen.

Therefore, Rhodes must be careful what he says. What he said is also true. The Misty Forest ambush battle has not yet received any reward from the Queen. It can be understood that the Ice and Snow Queen is still on the way, and she will not give those battlefield rewards until she arrives at the front line in person.

There are hero promotions or rewards in it. But at present, there is indeed no...

"Is it right to be a minister? No, it shouldn't be. I think this is very inappropriate. Catalina has never been a person who rewards people based on merit. She is only nepotistic. Whoever is loyal to her will be favored by her.

, if those dogs in the palace can do things, I guess she will promote them as ministers. Is such a queen worthy of your loyalty?"

Benedick spoke very directly, but unfortunately there is no way out for honest people in this era... If the kingdom is controlled by a sinister person...

"No matter who becomes the queen, she deserves our allegiance."

After Rhodes finished speaking, Benedick immediately sneered -

"Then the conversation between us can end. We have different opinions and different principles of dealing with things. Why waste everyone's time here? I think you are also a warrior. A warrior should not die in a dark castle. You

You can go. Tell your Majesty the Queen that Grizzly Bear Castle will not compromise. Even if she sends people to attack it, this castle has never fallen since it was founded."

Benedick's tone was very tough, but Rhodes was neither humble nor arrogant.

"So you still support the Erengrad rebellion?"

he asked.

"Support doesn't count, at least the noble alliance has hope."

The Grizzly Lord shouted.

"No, they are not hoping. On the contrary, Erengrad alone cannot compete with the entire Kislev. No matter how you deny it, the main army of the kingdom has not yet fought against the rebels."

Rhodes responded, calm written on his face.

"So what? People in Kislev will resist Katrina. This is what the people want."

Benedick reiterated his position again.

"What is the sentiment of the people? I won't argue with you for the time being. I am just making an objective analysis. What will happen once Kislev's elite army meets the rebels of Erengrad?"

Rhodes asked rhetorically.

"Not necessarily, we are not deep into it yet."

"You don't have to be there to know the result. The noble alliance of Erlengrad hired a large number of professional mercenaries, as well as the rebel garrison in the city, plus the crazy mob, three military forces gathered together

Together, we may be able to compete with the Snow Queen's main force, but no matter what the outcome, the losses on both sides will be heavy. This is an internal conflict, or Kislev's main army massacred the mercenaries of Erlengrad.

Either with the mob, or the two sides are evenly matched, and in the end they fight to the death. However, Your Excellency, Lord, you must know that this war is not only a civil war in Kislev, but also a third party."

Rhodes said loudly, and Benedick's expression on the throne could be seen twisted.

“Where did the third party force come from?”

he asked.

"Have you forgotten the cause and origin of the Erengrad rebellion?"

Rhodes asked rhetorically.

The Grizzly Bear Lord looked at Rhodes in the center of the hall thoughtfully. He didn't speak, but Rhodes broke the silence again.

"Vampires. Yes, the cause of the Erengrad rebellion was that vampires were raging in the city. Even the city defenders and police forces were helpless against them. In the end, they evolved into vampires that even the police and the army attacked. According to the nobles of Erengrad

"In the end, they hired mercenaries to suppress it, and they managed to suppress the vampire crisis." Rhodes swallowed his saliva and continued, "What I want to say is that it was just suppression, not elimination.

…”

Benedick stared at Rhodes under the throne, seeming to know what the northern envoy wanted to say, but he remained silent and his eyes were sharp.

"Imagine, hundreds of vampires may be underground, in a corner of this kingdom, sitting and watching our own people kill each other. When Kislev's main army and the rebels are tired of killing each other, they will lose each other.

They only appear when things are tragic. You should know that vampires have a terrible ability - to resurrect the dead. That is to create an army of the undead."

Rhodes said that he observed Benedick's face. But the other party remained motionless. Maybe the Grizzly Bear Lord heard it in his heart, but he was a lord after all, and he would not show his emotions so easily.

"There are thousands of corpses on the battlefield, and both sides will not have so much time and effort to deal with these corpses. Once vampires appear on a large scale, you can imagine what a terrifying scene it will be. The dead will be resurrected, with their stiff bodies like puppets,

The butcher knife strikes our former companions. By then, Kislev will no longer be ruled by the Snow Queen, nor will it be ruled by the nobles of Erengrad, but by a group of bloodthirsty monsters ruling us."

Rhodes said, taking another step closer, and they were almost face to face. But the Grizzly Bear Lord did not let the guards stop Rhodes' behavior, because he believed that the envoy in front of him was not an insidious assassin. He could see that from this northern

In the lord's eyes, he read a feeling of mutual sympathy.

But he was still unwilling to compromise. He had refused the queen's request for so long. Grizzly Bear Castle had a strong army and sufficient food reserves. Could it be that he could be swayed by just a few words from this outsider?

Dang, Dang, Dang...
