Chapter 453: Come to Fairy Tail
After settling the most important matters, Rhodes summoned his creatures to escort a dozen more prisoners.
These were Erigor and the remnants of the Eisenwald that he had reorganized.
"This is Erigor, along with the new members he’s recruited," Rhodes explained to Lahar, handing him a completed bounty form. "Not sure if the Council still honors the rewards it issued before."
"This... should still be valid," Lahar replied. "But I’ll need to check with headquarters. The New Council’s finances are still getting sorted out, so the bounty payout might take about a month."
The Council had issued several bounties before the reorganization. Reneging on them now would look bad, it was just a change in leadership, not a total reset.
"Then I’ll leave them in your hands," Rhodes said, unconcerned. He trusted the Council wouldn’t default, and a month’s wait was fine by him.
Now that he had a bit of a nest egg, it was finally time to look into buying a home. This mission had paid off nicely.

He also wanted to revisit the battlefield to better assess the strength of Rhodes’s two summoned dragons.
Lahar hadn’t expected Rhodes to be this powerful. It was shocking, Rhodes had kept this hidden all along...
