Even though Rhode made a fairly complete plan against the Country of Darkness, he experienced what it meant to be a 'plan wasn't as fast as change' shortly after.
After Icy Snow eradicated the Chaos Lord, Rhode initially decided to lead the others in annihilating the remaining two Chaos Lords and figuring out what exactly turned them into this ridiculous state. But the Chaos Lord weren't fools either and that caught Rhode by surprise. The moment they spotted Rhode and his group of formidable beings rushing over, they tucked tails and fled shamelessly. Rhode's group couldn't catch up with them at all. They managed to wipe out a part of the ghost fleet and watched helplessly as they escaped. Even though they could continue to chase, for safety's sake, he eventually dismissed the idea.
