Heavy snow.

Clear white, huge snow flower/spend fell from the sky, falling down on the ground one after another, Fortress was calm inside, except for soldier standing guard above the city walls, everyone else had already returned to their homes, or went to the pub Drinking a small wine on the warm bonfire and enjoying a moment of comfort. But it is in such a leisurely atmosphere, but there is unshakable tension ———. They all know that Undead Army has once again come out of this Fortress. Their tens of thousands, those evil, cold undead creature are very May attack them at any time, and because of this, they cherish the peaceful time now, because this may be the last time they chatted with their companions in the tavern, whistling at the scratching dancer. The last chance to spend time with your loved ones at home or to talk to each other in a secret place about your love.

But for some people, the battle has already begun.

"Five scouts have been dispatched in three consecutive days, and the group of bone racks is really heartbroken."

Rhodes threw the report in his hand on the table, complexion calm started talking, and shrugged his shoulders. Over the past few days, the enemy has sent scouts faster and faster, and the scope is gradually expanding. Unfortunately, the moment they stepped into the Rhodes territory, they had lost ——— to fight GM on the map without the fog of war. This is the rhythm of life and death. For these scouts, of course, Rhodes can't possibly take care of it by themselves. The first time he took the initiative to let Sir Bayer know intuitively the power of undead creature, as for the next, he does n’t need to worry about ——— Little Bubble Gum and Canary is enough to eliminate those guys.

However, what makes Rhodes uncomfortable is that it may be because his own Soul Acquisition is used too fast. After that, those **** undeads will no longer send Lich and Vampire-level undead creature into their own fields, instead low level unit like skeleton cavalry and Specter. They obviously intend to use their quantitative advantages in intelligence reconnaissance, and to prevent the other party from acquiring their own intelligence again. Now there is no way to Rhodes. Soul Acquisition is a precious skill. Not to mention, those inferior undead creature originally did not have much wisdom, and even if they were caught, there was not much value. And their properties are too low, not as good as Sarah puppet Corpse Witch's level high ———. After Rhodes inquiries, it turned out that the original corpse slave looks respectful, but her Mage level is not low, as Necromancer. Sarah now has at least forty-five levels, even higher than Marlene and Serena, although she was cultivated as a confidant of Lich, it is not surprising to have such strength. But if you take a closer look, if you don't count the Little Bubble Gum and Canary as cheating on your own side. Only Marlene and Serena have the forty-level Middle Ring Mage strength. Even those Mage brought by Noble and legion are mostly only thirty-five or six, and Sarah is only an corpse slave, it has four Level 15 Mage strength. There are at least ten corpse slave around each Lich. Compare the strength of the two sides. Sentencing high. If you had two top rank player on your side, Rhodes would ensure that you are the spellcaster.

The only shortcoming is that Sarah although the cast level is relatively high, but the means is single, she basically only Undead Spell. There will also be some alchemy technique, element spell occasionally small accomplishment, but it is just the level of lowest level such as Lightning Chain and Fireball Spell. But what surprised Rhodes is that the alchemy technique level of Sarah is not low. If you use player, the alchemy technique level of corpse slave has reached high rank alchemy technique. That is the level of Elite Alchemist. But it's a matter of course to think about it, corpse slave's job is to serve Lich. However, as a dead person, Lich does not need to eat and drink water to sleep and mate. corpse slave's service and help for Lich is naturally in the processing of spell and the refining of alchemy technique. The experimental product of Corpse Witch means that the work of Sarah must be very good, otherwise Lich will not choose her to carry out such a major experiment.

And another unexpected joy is also derived from it. As Kelunde's confidante Lich, Sarah is naturally well aware of his previous Master research plans and potion formulas and skills. undead creature is very good at Undead Spell. This is naturally needless to say, and on the other hand, the skills and essence of undead creature in potion ——, especially poison, is what Rhodes values. undead creature doesn't have "Tao" morality, as if they can use Sarah as a living human to make it into corpse slave, these undead creature through cruel experiments on humans to obtain data to improve their own potion formula and make improvements. These are difficult to obtain on Continent of Light. Although there are some fallen black wizards and Necromancer doing similar work on Continent of Light, but they are after all a minority, and this kind of thing is very sinful, and once they are found, they are finished. However, unlike Kingdom of the Night, the study of creatures is officially approved. Liches can be dissected to dissect the slaves in their hands on the open field in the open field in broad daylight, even if they dismiss these poor The creatures were shredded and sewn together, and no one would protest at all.

And through such **** and cruel means, undead creatures also invented a lot of unique skills, just like Sarah provides Rhodes "Blood paste." It is a kind of alchemy potion that can be made by refining with a small amount of herbs. As long as the wounded apply this potion to the affected area, as long as it is not a life-threatening injury, it can be healed in a short time. It is simple and convenient, and it is cheap and easy to use. It is even cheaper than those for potion. Rhodes naturally knows how this kind of potion will help the military ——. Ironically, this potion is just a by-product of the Kelunde incidentally researched when testing an eroded flesh spell.

The alchemy formulas provided by Sarah can almost be said to have been filled with thousands of lives, but Rhodes naturally has no psychological pressure on them. Anyway, those people are locked in the gas chamber or It was not myself who queued up to shoot for biopsy, and in the art of art, these are also fellow human beings. They used their lives to create all this for the benefit of other human beings. It's not a sacrifice. So Rhodes asked Sarah to copy a copy of these alchemy potion recipes, and then handed over to Labise to let her take charge of the experiment, if it was useful, it was left, and it was temporarily sealed. As for those poison and some recipes that will make Labise read the red heartbeat, Rhodes secretly buckled and left.

In fact, Rhodes really wants to build a alchemy team with Sarah as the center. The strength of Labise is beyond doubt, but she is pure and kind after all, which is a good thing. It's a bad thing. alchemy potion can do a lot of things, and Rhodes also knows that there are a lot of dark and evil things in Belhems Clan. The most famous one is Belhems Clan's housekeeping skill alchemy technique, which is the origin of Belhems Clan, and Alchemy Elf and other Spirit/Elf parted ways the reason. Belhems Clan is best at human transformation. Rhodes does not believe that Labise will know nothing about it. Anyway, she is the last king who inherited all the knowledge of Belhems Clan. It would be strange if even the core secret of Alchemy Elf was not known. But Labise has kept silent about it and never used it. Rhodes certainly does not believe that she knows nothing. The only "Answer" case is that Labise himself is very resistant to these things. Rhodes is also embarrassed to force the other party to use.

But Sarah is different. Thanks to Lich, this corpse slave does not have the moral concept of Tao on Continent of Light, which seems cruel to Marlene and others. But Rhodes needs such subordinates. There is no such person in his hands now, but it is no wonder that when he grew up on Continent of Light, he always accepted the teachings of human beings. Unless it is the kind who is truly willing to be an enemy of humanity, even mountain bandit will have a day of conscience discovery. It is impossible to expect them to do something desperate for themselves wholeheartedly. But Rhodes is very clear. This kind of thing is inevitable. As if the Chris pedicle was attacked on the Midsummer Festival, if Rhodes does not kidnap the son of the other party's head, I am afraid the matter will not be so easy to solve. Every force has its bright and dark sides. Even lì Tia ’s subordinate/hand has a secret spy unit that makes people frightened. Of course, this unit is not her direct subordinates, but lí Tia also knows that the other party is in doing what. As for some things, she will not do it, but it does not mean that she will not let others do ———. It is like in the civil war, Rhodes has made the whole plain a sea of ​​fire, and the massacre of hundreds of people, lì Tiya It must be well understood. It is inconvenient for her to do such things, and naturally someone will do it.

Rhodes knows this, even in his own team, this kind of contradiction and conflict exist, and for some of their actions, Marlene and Annie will not support, but will not object. And lìjie and Labise are obviously very uneasy about this. Rando and Mafa are inconvenient to criticize Lord, while Sol and Joey are poor because of origin, seeing the world is cold and warm will not be too heartfelt, but like John In this way, the regular officer of origin is sometimes difficult to accept his own ideas.

But Rhodes knows clearly that his enemy is not just the Undead Army in front of him. He can almost be sure that even preparing for this is not just a war against Kingdom of the Night. The war with Kingdom of Light will start sooner or later, and by that time Rhodes will inevitably use some murderous means. These methods are often used in games, and the effect is very good. However, Rhodes also knows that player is so much in the game because it is a game, and NPC is NPC after all. In player, there are more deaths. NPC has nothing to do with conscience. More is the relationship between prestige and rewards or quest. . For example, when Rhodes counterattacked Kingdom of Light's in the game, it led Player Legion to sweep all the way from the rear, turning Kingdom of Light together with player forces and NPC gathering place into a sea of ​​fire. And Rhodes and others naturally fell sharply in Kingdom of Light's prestige, and fell directly from original friendly to hostile.

However, Rhodes brushed prestige in a unique way ———. He directly led player wiped out to Kingdom of Light, and completely wiped out this force from continent, so naturally there is no Kingdom of Light's "hostile" prestige logo in the Rhodes' prestige column.

Of course, from the perspective of player, Starlight Guild is a refreshing killer, and in the eyes of NPC, it is hell. The place where Rhodes and his team went is almost nothing. loss of life, and its scale is so bad Rhodes later even had a nickname between NPC.

"Destroyer".

You can get the title through actions other than quest and prestige, and there is only Rhodes in the whole game.

With their feelings and loyalty to themselves, Rhodes does not doubt that Marlene can do the same thing for themselves here. However, after all, they are native of this continent, and they are more or less educated by morality anyway, this kind of thing can be occasionally done once or twice, if more, they will overdraw their feelings and trust. Rhodes is very clear about this. He hasn't seen some guys because of their stubborn opinions. ——— is actually plain. Or his men can't accept the values ​​of their esteemed boss and Master.

In this way, people like Sarah who do not have "mainstream values ​​of ethics" are very precious. She is very in line with the requirements of Rhodes', and as a corpse slave, her every move is completely restricted by Rhodes'. Therefore, it will not collapse like a certain murderous maniac. So Rhodes also has the intention to keep her to do something less grand and bright for herself, but unfortunately it can only be thought about now, the outside Angel army is still flying overhead, Rhodes is not interested in himself now Within Fortress, a second theater was opened.

Thinking of this, Rhodes withdrew his thoughts. He snorted and sat on the chair, looking at the snow outside.

"The enemy army is approaching, I do n’t think it will take long for Undead Legion to advance, what do you think?"

"At present, there is only a stable defense."

Marlene frowned, pondered for a moment, then replied softly. The lìjie next to it is nodded, now full of people in the huge conference room. In addition to Rhodes, Marlene, lìjie, Annie, these have always followed his old man. There are also Joey, Rando, Mafa and other latecomers, plus Vivian. In addition to the BUG trio dominated by Little Bubble Gum and Canary, Sir Bayer and the Frederick around him. Serena and others, of course, those Noble and legion representatives will also participate, in addition to the Battle Angel Legion representative Bailey.

In the quiet conference hall of originally, it seems a bit noisy at the moment because it is full of people. After hearing Rhodes''s speech, everyone's can't help but's lowered voice began to discuss with each other. Rhodes looked at this scene in front of him, and then I felt Own this Lord at this time finally made a little deserved. Fortunately, he now holds a meeting to call so many people to discuss and study every sentence of himself. Now he finally understands why those big leaders on the earth are always three days, one small meeting, five days and one meeting. ——— It's cool.

"But Lord Sir, the information we have got is incomplete, just relying on the report of that lady ..., it is still impossible to accurately judge the number and strength of the enemy."

Frederick stood up and came to started talking. When talking about Sarah, the young knight made a twist of his tongue. After hesitated for a moment, this finally went on to explain.

"This is a problem."

Rhodes nodded, which is what he was worried about. To be honest, Sarah was caught a little too early. Now, several days have passed, but Undead Army still has no action, which makes Rhodes feel worried. Generally speaking, no action is the best thing, but Rhodes knows that it is not so simple. Although Undead Army is characterized by maneuverability, Rhodes also knows that some of the high rank units belong to that type of action that is particularly slow, but it is abnormal/pervert monster that attacks and defends high. For example, flesh and blood Abomination (loathe) or something, it is simply a hill that can move, and rough skin and thick muscle, if Undead Army has been stationed is waiting for these truly terrible siege monster to appear, then he will inevitably be a little uneasy. Moreover, assessing the number of enemies is a very important thing. This is not just a matter of how long they can support.

However, Rhodes has never dispatched scouts to the other party. He knows that undead creature is insidious and cunning. He has sent his own people here. Once caught, then the situation in his Fortress is immediately clear to the other party. Such a Coming to Rhodes flower/spend for such a long time to clean up the enemy scouts is also a complete wasted.

"Are there any other questions?"

"This ......... in the supply of materials ........."

Labise raised his hand timidly and saw the crowd looking at themselves. This naturally introverted Alchemy Elf can't help but shrank from the body, and then hesitated started talking.

"This ... Adult Rhodes ... originally is enough for us to calculate, but now there are so many people coming to Fortress, this ... maybe it is not enough ........."

"With Battle Angel Legion, we can share part of our burden."

Rhodes made a gesture to Labise, instructing her to be restless.

“Next, we do n’t need to make more magic arrow, and time is too late, Labise. From now on, you can try to make more flammable things like fire oil. These things are simple, convenient, and also Do n’t waste time and effort. "

"Okay, sir, I see."

I heard here, Labise let out a long sigh, relaxed a lot, then she nodded and sat down again. Then, another person stood up and —— Jade Orchid Heart was still sleepy. She reached out and held the black book in front of heavy, eyes narrowed, yawned.

"As for the defense force ... Huah ... fusion is still going well, there are two legion commanders to help the training, the speed is much faster ... Huah ... rest assured, Rhodes, this Fortunately, no problem. "

"Adult, I think we should still investigate the status of Undead Legion."

Rando, who has been silent for a while, finally spoke.

"The most worrying thing about many soldiers right now is that we do n’t know the specific number of Undead Army and their composition. The information given to us by Miss Sarah has a certain usefulness, but these are not enough. Sol can also ............... "

"Things are not so simple, Rando."

Rhodes waved his hand and interrupted Rando's speech.

"The investigation of Undead Legion and the army of living people are completely two concepts. Undead Army is full of miasma everywhere. ordinary human ca n’t support it for a long time. And once you are caught by them, even if it ’s just a dead body undead creature can extract information from your brain and blood. Once they succeed, then what we did before is completely useless. "

"…………………………"

When I heard Rhodes' talking, the atmosphere immediately froze, many people complexion slightly changed, they knew undead creature was terrible, but did not expect the other party to be terrible to this point. If this is the case, then they sent scouts to investigate in the past, but they did not investigate the other party's way, but they didn't investigate ......... Facing the smeared enemy of both eyes, how to fight this? Knowing yourself and knowing each other can be a battle, even if you are strong on your own side, will it be limited after all?

"Bailey Legion Commander."

Rhodes tapped his finger on the table, pondered for a moment raised his head afterwards, looking at Battle Angel Legion Commander who had remained silent during this meeting.

"How is the situation on the Dawn Angel side? Has anything changed in the opponent's" Zhenqi "?"

If there are any investigative methods on the Rhodes side, the only thing is to rely on the powerful vision of Dawn Angel to look from a distance, but this observation is ultimately limited, so Rhodes did not count on only depends on Angel to obtain enough information. In fact, the best way is to let these Angel scouts, but Rhodes to keep these trump cards to the last moment, for this he even asked Bailey not to let Battle Angels hover in the air, and Magical Fleet also let Rhodes quietly hidden behind the ridge. Only unexpected changes at the beginning of the confrontation between the two armies will change the direction of the entire battle, but if the other party is prepared, then it will be abandoned.

"So far, nothing has changed."

Bailey slightly shook the head, replied.

The flag is not moving, which means that the other party is still in deployment. Even if you want to start it immediately, there is still a preparation period of at least three days. ——— Rhodes is very familiar with the Undead Legion school, and naturally knows their military deployment and actions.

"I will solve the problem of scouting."

In the end, Rhodes made up his mind, started talking. (To be continued)
