Mobis feels a headache.
After he lost the individual battle with Starlight, many people have expressed dissatisfaction with him, although there are many outsiders who justify Sky Sword and despise the sound of Starlight ’s victory. But these voices are not helpful to stabilize the position of Mobis. Unlike Wings of Freedom, Sky Sword represents the poor people in the south, but the upper wealthy rank. Because of this, the pressure after losing Mobis is also very large. Many wealthy businessmen in the South and Noble sent people to express their dissatisfaction, either implicitly or implicitly. These are all Sky Sword Guild funders. In their view, no matter how the Sky Sword loses, it loses anyway. I spent so many days to support Sky Sword Guild, not to insult and ridicule in front of those Northerner, not to mention that Starlight is only a Mercenary Group that was only established for half a year. Sky Sword can even lose such things, What can't they do?
Mobis has even vaguely heard some sound of the wind, if their performance in team battle can not satisfy these funders, they may even withdraw their funding, or ——— to find a new one can make Sky Sword not in the first place Round ` ` was done by a **** Mercenary Group to do Guild Leader.
This is the sorrow of Mercenary Guild. They are huge, but they need to be maintained with money. Mercenary Guild, which has lost its autonomy, is already a private army of some interest groups to some extent. In order to prevent this trend, the country specifically limited the number of people in Mercenary Guild, but this turned out to be the soft underbelly of Mercenary Guild. The number of people limited by ——— rules is far less than the number of Mercenary Guild used to maintain its sphere of influence. This forced the Mercenary Guild to become self-sufficient and must rely on outside forces and capital. In this way, they lacked sufficient autonomy and independence. A powerful Mercenary Guild Master like Mobis is no exception. No matter how strong his personal strength is, he is worthless in the face of money. Mercenary Guild, such as four big guilds, which has been rooted in the region for many years, has long been blended with those forces. Like vines climbing on tree trunks, simply is inseparable from them.
This is also the sadness of Mercenary Guild, and it is also the reason why Rhodes tried hard to avoid himself from falling into it. ——— He didn't want to live this kind of life with a despotic life.
Originally obsessed with people is very depressed, but is it more depressing to have to obey people with powerful strength?
But it ’s not Mobis ’s headache right now. Although the current situation is not very good for him, Mobis believes that relying on his leadership and influence in guild will not survive this crisis. It's difficult. As long as the next team battle can win, then it is not a problem ... For his team, Mobis is still very confident.
What makes him headache is that ——— Carodi is gone.
Although this uncle normally is very arrogant, he still keeps his promise. Mobis does not know what Carodi is here to do. As Rhodes guessed, he was only ordered by those Southern Noble and rich merchants to accept this from the light. The uncle of Parliament went to his Mercenary Group to execute a "secret quest". As for what quest is, Mobis is not qualified to ask.
Although in terms of strength, Mobis can be stronger than Carodi.
It's really uncomfortable to whisper in front of someone weaker than yourself. But anyway, both sides can also be regarded as "three chapters of the law", Mobis does not care about Carodi things, and Carodi in addition to appearing in the game, the rest of the time he wants to do what he can't control.
But now, it is time for team battle to start, and Carodi has not yet appeared?
Isn't he something wrong?
Thinking of this, Mobis can't help but was uneasy. He was born Southern Noble. Naturally, he knew the relationship between the rich Noble merchants in the south and Kingdom of Light Parliament. This Carodi came from Parliament Faction again. In case if something really happened to him ... Mobis can't help but There was a chill. He did n’t know what Carodi was here for, but it was certainly not an easy task. In fact, originally Mobis did n’t want to accept this trouble. But as I said before, even an economic lifeline is subject to people's Mercenary Guild, even if your Guild Leader is a Legendary Level Godman, there is only a good bow in front of money ...
So Mobis has been very worried about what Carodi has done, and now, team battle is about to start soon. Their originally should go to arena, but they do n’t see Carodi. This makes Mobis very uneasy and worried. To know that the other party is a Kingdom of Light's spy, now Golden City is again engaged in the Midsummer Festival ... damn it, the group of big-bellied poops who do n’t know anything but eating, sleeping, and playing have thrown people away at me, and the trouble is my back. If Carodi falls into the **** tyrant of Lydia, can he and his men walk out of Golden City alive?
When I think of this, Mobis is shaking, and he suddenly feels that he has not much time to go to the red leaf maple forest to appreciate the fallen leaves ...
"Yes, Guild Leader !!!"
Just when Mobis was restless, Golan panted and ran into the room, which made the old Mobis suddenly startled and stood up while holding the sword handle around his waist, watching the ——— damnly out of the window. Yes, could it be ’s hunch is so accurate? That little girl sent someone to come to the door?
But soon, Mobis found that the expression of Golan, although somewhat surprised, was not fearful and uneasy at all. Instead, he stood there and looked at himself with a puzzled look, which made Mobis perceive his performance. It was really weird. He smiled bitterly at can't help but and sat down again.
"What's the matter? What happened? You are so panicky, don't you want you to prepare for team battle?"
"I came here for this matter, Captain."
Golan wiped a handful of sweat beads on his face, staring at Mobis with some incredible expression.
"That's it, me, I just got the news from arena, this battle is no match. Because Starlight ... abstained!"
"Abstain?"
Hearing this sentence, Mobis has some opened their eyes wide in surprise, and he could n’t believe it, looking at Golan. After a while, he frowned.
"Are you talking about the truth? Why? They quit the game. There is always a reason."
"This ... I have questions, but according to them, it seems that there was someone injured after the individual battle yesterday at Starlight, but today they are not enough to participate in the game, so ... abstained."
"That ’s right ..."
After hearing Golan, Mobis bowed his head. What Golan said is not unreasonable. Everyone saw Anne ’s injury yesterday, but according to the rules, should n’t Starlight Mercenary Group be an alternate member? Although the Shield Warrior girl was injured, wasn't the alternate prepared for it? As for others? Rhodes not to mention first, where does Vivian and Marlene look a little bit injured?
What the **** is Starlight doing?
For a time, even the clever Mobis could not figure out exactly what Starlight was doing. At the Midsummer Festival, abstaining would be ridiculed. could it be did not worry that their actions would bring them. Is there any trouble? After all, in the world of mercenary, what you can't fight is a question of strength, but whether you dare to fight is a question of guts. The former can be understood, but the latter will be laughed at. The reason why Xingguang made this decision ... is it really just because someone was injured? Still ...
Wait.
Thinking of this, Mobis was suddenly surprised.
Carodi did not come back, Starlight abstained ... could it be Carodi went to starlight?
But ... Starlight is just a little Mercenary Group, where is it worth Carodi not far away from Kingdom of Light to deal with them?
Mobis can't figure it out, but at this moment he is not as nervous as before, but even so, Mobis still raised his head, looked at Golan, and then issued an order.
"Go, you go and investigate, for what reason did Starlight give up team battle, the more detailed the better!"
"Yes, adult."
Although I do n’t know why Mobis issued this order, Golan or nodded turned around and left. Looking at the back view of Golan leaving, Mobis let out a long sigh, then he leaned on the chair, only feeling that he was very tired and helpless.
What is going on with this Starlight ———?
There is a question, not just Mobis alone.
"Mr. Rhodes, why is this?"
At the moment in the station, Marlene also frowned, puzzled, and asked the same question about Rhodes.
"Even if our strength is insufficient, I think we can at least try ..."
"No, Marlene, this is not a question of strength."
Rhodes waved his hand and interrupted the speech of Marlene, which caused eyes open wide of Marlene somewhat surprised to stare at Rhodes and did not understand what he meant.
"First of all, our strength is indeed not sufficient. Before, we only prepared individual battle training, but team battle training has not been prepared. In this case, our hasty appearance will only give people laugh. Second ... I do n’t want you to expend your energy in this insignificant team battle. You know, our final opponent is very powerful. I do n’t want any accident/surprise to appear before that. For us, there is nothing like getting individual competition Victory is more important and priority, so I chose to give up team battle. "
Speaking of this, Rhodes stretched out a finger. I do n’t know if it ’s an illusion. Marlene suddenly felt a very pleasant smile from his dark eyes.
"Not to mention, Miss Marlene, do n’t forget that we still have companions. If we let us finish the food alone, it will not be conducive to stability and unity."
"But ..."
Marlene is not a fool. As long as Rhodes reminds her, she immediately understands the reason, but ...
"Mr. Rhodes, are you so confident of them? Is n’t I worried, in case they live up to your expectations ..."
"You are wrong again, Marlene."
But this time, the words of Marlene were still interrupted by Rhodes, and he waved his hand again and shrugged his shoulders.
"I am not confident in them, I am confident in myself ... you will soon understand what I mean."
