Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Eagle Mountain Peak is located at the corner of Eastern Mountain, where originally is a quiet place, but now, it has completely changed into another look.
When the Rhodes and others came to the foot of the mountain at Eagle Mountain Peak, the beautiful scenery they had seen before had disappeared. Instead, the battle of fierce burning, the smoke of smoke and bone. Looking up, you can see that the originally buildings built on the mountain in the distance have already turned into the dark ruins residue. undead creatures has completely changed everything here. They are building a new base area to make themselves one more bridgehead to attack Eastern Mountain. Seeing this scene in front of him, Sous complexion gloomy, he lowered his head and couldn't bear to watch those **** undead creature ruin his home, but he could do nothing ...
Rhodes does not have the sentimentality of Sous. On the contrary, he carefully observed the Eagle Mountain Peak in front of him, and then brows can't help wrinkling. Frankly speaking, it is indeed quite difficult to launch an offensive here. The base of Battle Mage Group is on the relatively gentle side of Eagle Mountain Peak. It is built on the mountain, easily guarded, hard to attack. I'm afraid there is no way to capture the idle army for ten days and a half months. But after all, it is "waiting for leisure". It is another matter to change the undead creature that is contrary to common sense ... If there is any advantage, it is that the Eagle Mountain Peak and Eastern Mountain side is still relatively smooth. If the connection is too difficult, neither traffic nor transportation can be inconvenient. This may be the advantage of the only one that the Eastern Mountain coalition army can have.
However, Rhodes did not intend to participate in it. He did not plan to come to Eastern Mountain this time, otherwise he would call a bunch of water element fire element creature like in the Winter Castle. ———. Of course, with Star Spirit Temple, Rhodes You can really take a group of troops around.
Thinking of this, Rhodes turned his gaze back, and then he looked forward, and saw that not far from the hillside in front of them, the densely packed tents formed a fairly large military camp. There are various kinds of flags floating on it, and seeing these flags, Rhodes can't help shrugging the shoulders. In fact, this is also a sign of Eastern Mountain.
Eastern Mountain is completely different from the outside world in many places. One of them is their power organization structure. Generally speaking, in other places of Continent of Light, except for the ground snakes like Thief Association, most organizations appear in the form of branches. It is like a formal institution like Mercenary Association, Mage Association, Alchemist Association. Or like a masquerade, behind the scenes like Dark Brotherhood. However, the composition of Eastern Mountain forces is completely different from them. In Eastern Mountain, except for the 12th Presbyterian Church, the largest governing body of Eastern Mountain, the remaining forces are basically separate and dispersed. Just like the Battle Mage Group, they occupy a mountain, like a mountain king. Although they seem to be subordinate to the leadership of the Twelve Presbyterian Church, they are basically in charge of themselves. And with their organizational forces as the center, they formed a gathering place. Then these forces will become the actual Leader of the gathering place, and the people living in the gathering place will also serve this force.
Frankly, the forces in Eastern Mountain are a bit similar to the various martial arts in martial arts novels. Everyone accounts for Wudang Shaolin, but they are only operating on their own sites. You will not see Shaolin going to Emei Build a nun Bubble nun or something ... But the reason for this situation is because of the geographical environment of Eastern Mountain itself. Eastern Mountain is basically a rolling mountain range, the road is difficult and difficult, and the circulation of manpower is even more difficult. Although there is airship, that kind of thing cannot cover the entire Eastern Mountain at first, and the average person can't afford it either. Therefore, under the constraints of the terrain, even if there are factional forces who want to develop their own organization strength, there is not enough manpower to do this kind of thing. Not to mention that Eastern Mountain is under the threat of undead creature all the year round. Everyone is very difficult to deal with external threats. Do you actually want to fight back at this time?
Even if others do n’t speak, the Presbyterian Church does n’t eat dry food.
With this background, it is not difficult to understand why so many forces came here in response to the call of the Presbyterian Church. They usually do not have enough time and energy, nor can they expand their territory. And now, since the Presbyterian Church has already said who can drive away the undead creature that is entrenched in Eagle Mountain Peak, then leave it to them for management. Such a good opportunity is naturally would be a waste not to demand. As can be seen from the colors of the tents and the patterns of the flags in the camp, most of the people who come here are organizations like Battle Mage Group, which are powerful and have a large number of people. Of course, there are some small groups that do n’t seem to have too many people around the big forces like the stars, I do n’t know if they intend to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with those big powers or they want to try to fish in the muddy water. The sudden emergence of the army, in short, looks like a lot of fun.
When the Rhodes and others arrived at the camp, the joint army ’s attack on Eagle Mountain Peak happened to have come to an end. For a time, many injured people were seen to be lifted from above. moan, seeing this scene in front of me, Leiya's showed a bit of intolerance. Sous is complicated with complexion, although these people are here to help them eliminate undead creature and help Battle Mage Group revenge. But when he thought that these people came to the Battle Mage Group site, he was especially tangled ............
Shortly after the crowd entered the camp, someone quickly hurriedly greeted them, but they obviously did not look so polite on the Rhodes' face.
"Master Gaya."
The man headed esteemed headed to Gaya gave a bow, but in the face of his salute, Gaya was unmoved. The girl just held her harp quietly and stood looking at the other side, then brows slightly wrinkled.
"Did you attack?"
"Yes, adult."
Hearing Gaya's inquiry, the man's face showed some embarrassment, but he still bit the scalp replied. Hearing his answer, although Gaya did n’t say anything, everyone in the surroundings could feel the aura around the girl suddenly dropped at this moment. The temperature that was not cold under the winter sun shined seemed to drop eight in a flash Ten degrees .........
"Who gave the order?"
"It's me, Gaya."
Just when Gaya asked in cold voice, I saw another man coming over. He was wearing a lightweight leather armor, with two long swords hanging around his waist. It looked like he was in his thirties. time. In fact, the man's performance was indeed full of confidence. He walked over and extended his hand to swing it. Soon, the dumb subordinate who was said by Gaya immediately retreated like an amnesty. Go down. And seeing this scene in front of her, although the expression of Gaya has not changed, but the look emerging in her eyes can make Rhodes see that this eldest young miss is very uncomfortable.
"If I remember correctly, the elders gave me the command of this battle, right?"
"Of course I know, Gaya."
After hearing the dissatisfied tone of Gaya, the man smiled slightly at ——— but his smile looked as if he was appeasing the ignorant and disobedient ***.
"However, as a front-line commander, I sometimes need to test the enemy's strength to a certain extent. After all, undead creature is acting strangely on it. We need to prepare for the enemy's strength in advance. This kind of thing needs to be contested every second, Gaya. I do n’t know how you are doing outside, but here is Eastern Mountain, we have our own way. "
"..................... Is this the only excuse you are looking for?"
Although others have not felt it yet, Rhodes has been keenly aware of the thick killing intent contained in Gaya. He has no doubt that as long as the idiot in front of him dare to say more nonsense, then this poor worm It is definitely the rhythm of the head. Thinking of this, Rhodes can't help but took two steps forward and blocked Chris behind her. Anyway, this **** scene was not what she should see.
"This is ..............."
The Rhodes' action also caught the man ’s attention. He turned his head curiously and looked behind Gaya. While Gaya glanced at Rhodes, when he saw the action of blocking Chris behind, the girl ’s dark and deep eyes flashed a complex brilliance, but the surface of Gaya was still very calm, she looked lightly Write Rhodes, and then introduced.
"This is Lord of Glennvell Territory, Mr. Rhodes."
"Oh ...............?"
After hearing the introduction of Gaya, the man in front of him was obviously quite surprised. He eyes open wide looked at Rhodes in surprise, but soon. A warm smile from originally appeared on his face again. Then the man stepped forward, respectfully towards Rhodes gave a bow.
"Hello, esteemed Lord Sir, I am Xiao, I really did not expect to see you here, it really made me somewhat surprised. The Saintess Statue you gave us played a great role in the front, I have never seen it before. Those undead creature are so embarrassed ......... "
This man named Xiao does not have the restraint that most Eastern Mountain people have. On the contrary, he is quite enthusiastic and familiar, and this man is very talkative. He not only praises Rhodes, but also does not Silently paying tribute to Leiya and Anne and others, one by one inquired about their names, and then slapped a big fart. What kind of "several young ladies are really beautiful and beautiful, even in Eastern Mountain, there is no such beauty in the country ...", Leiya is a bit embarrassed, but Anne accepted it proudly. , Not shy at all. But after turning a circle, Xiao this came to the point.
“……………… I do n’t know if you come to Eastern Mountain, what ’s your job?”
"It's just a little private matter."
In the face of this man ’s enthusiasm, Rhodes did not hesitate at all, and soon gave the answer. And hearing his obvious perfunctory, Xiao originally also had can't help but stiffen for a moment on his face with a warm smile, but he quickly returned to normal, nodded.
"It turns out that this is the case, so if there is anything you need to help, you can ask for it. As long as we can do it, we must work hard."
Speaking of this, Xiao looked at Gaya next to him.
"Gaya, we are about to open a combat meeting to deal with the next situation. In the past few days when you were away, many people joined our team. I think this needs some adjustments. "
"Okay, I know."
After listening to Xiao Xiao ’s words, Gaya a slight nod, she looked at Rhodes.
"So, Mr. Rhodes, please ask Baiye to go to my residence for a while, after that, I will deal with your problem."
After saying this, Gaya turned and left. Under the leadership of Baiye, Rhodes and others came to a small manor ——— in the corner of the campsite. The campsite originally is a village and town at the foot of the mountain. Although it has been expanded a lot, the facilities are still complete. After sending Rhodes and others into the manor, Baiye resigned and left Rhodes and others to the waitress in the manor. Although this is not polite. But this is obviously a good thing for Rhodes, because he still has a lot of problems to clarify, and now, this is a good opportunity.
"About Master Gaya?"
Sous looked very surprised when asked by Rhodes'. Rhodes is slightly nodded. He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Sous.
"Yes, I feel like Miss Gaya is in Eastern Mountain ...... it doesn't seem to be very popular? What is going on? I think you should have heard something."
When I met the man named Xiao before, Rhodes felt a little strange. According to the truth, although Gaya is not an Region Lord, her identity and strength are enough to equal the twelve Elder Sir in Eastern Mountain. The man named Xiao is only the master of the master. What qualifications are there for Gaya? It is wrong to say that they grew up together and did not guess. The killing intent before Gaya was not freely placed. In fact, she was very calm and restrained. Only Rhodes, who is also in Legendary Domain, was keenly aware of the change in Gaya. She really wanted to kill someone, not to scare someone. But that guy is so fearless?
Not only that, Rhodes also found that the situation of Gaya in Eastern Mountain seemed quite awkward, as can be seen from her current manor. Logically speaking, as an army commander, Gaya should be held in the center of the camp by everyone's stars, which is like now, called during the meeting, normally is in such a remote place, in case There are no emergencies in the battlefield and no one can be found ...
Rhodes is also said to be player origin, the fire of gossip of fierce burning has never subsided. Not to mention Gaya, such as mysterious and secretive in the game, character that has been controversial and investigated by player, now he has the opportunity to play the other party's old man, naturally he will not miss such a good opportunity. Sous, as Battle Mage Group Vice-Captain, is a ground snake, and can live much longer than Gaya. Rhodes believes that from him, he must be able to know something.
"This ... I have heard some rumors."
After hearing Rhodes' inquiries, Sous showed a somewhat difficult expression. As Rhodes thought, Sous certainly has some understanding of Gaya matters, but this kind of thing is difficult for everyone to say, but now, his own Lord Sir has asked When he got up, he naturally couldn't hide it.
"Ms. Gaya has been talented since she was a child. She used to be the heir to the Fengxiang family of one of the twelve elders. In Gaya, she was still childhood. Mother's zither sound skills. At that time, everyone thought that Miss Gaya would definitely step into the elders' association in the future, and may even become the first of them ............... "
"Once?"
Rhodes keenly captured the words in Sous. And heard Rhodes' inquiry, Sous nodded.
"Yes, I used to ... because later, there was a problem with Miss Gaya's family ———. The specific situation is not very clear, but it was rumored at the time that the Fengxiang family was too powerful at that time, even in the Presbyterian Church prestige is not small and the help, so that they have the thought of getting away from Moon ... "
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing here, Rhodes is suddenly interested. Eastern Mountain is a mysterious place even in the eyes of player. There are many internal rumors that player can't even find out, but even so, Rhodes knows that Eastern Mountain has always been a supporter of Royalist. Didn't expect that they even wanted to be independent from Moon?
"This ... I just heard that. At that time, many people rumored that the Fengxiang family had this idea, but most people felt that this was not possible. But then, one day suddenly the Fengxiang family stabbed Grand Duke Lydia news, everyone was shocked at that time, but ... of course they failed. Then the Fengxiang family was basically wiped out. I heard that in the whole family, only Gaya was less than six years old at that time. It was difficult, and then was taken out of Eastern Mountain by Grand Duke Lydia. After that, the Presbyterian Church re-selected people to replace the position of the Fengxiang family, but ... This matter is not very good after all, so everyone does not mention it. "
So it turns out.
After listening to the Sous instructions, Rhodes finally understood. He still knows Eastern Mountain, knowing that people here have always been proud of their loyalty to Moon, and now they even have a traitor, and even stab the Grand Duke, although they failed in the end, but this is certainly a heavily for the pride of Eastern Mountain Blow. The so-called injustice has the debt and the main responsibility. As the only survivor of the unlucky miserable family, Gaya is still the heir, naturally bearing the sins that her father should bear. Moreover, listening to Sous, Gaya and childhood were taken away from Eastern Mountain by Lydia, so for the people here, I am afraid that she is a "non-staff" just like herself.
Thinking of this, Rhodes can't help but is a bit sighing, but it only satisfies his heart of gossip. He has nothing to say about the encounter of Gaya. Moreover, based on her knowledge of Gaya, Rhodes also knows that she does not need her own sympathy.
The combat meeting was held until dusk until it was completely over. After returning to his own estate, Gaya brought a message to Rhodes and others.
"Tomorrow morning, we will launch a full-scale attack on Eagle Mountain Peak. If you want to do anything private, please do it yourself." RS
