Everything has good and bad aspects, the same is true for Rhodes.
After this competition, Parfield Area no longer has Mercenary Group to question whether Starlight is qualified to represent them. This is of course a good thing, but in turn, Rhodes is actually very worried that such a victory will let others Pride and complacency, I really think that the Midsummer Festival is just like this friendly match, and you can win if you hit it casually, and others will abstain and surrender. And the observation afterwards also proved that Rhodes' was right to worry, even Leiya's attentive girls began to think of playing beautifully ——— beautifully? You do n’t even know if you can win, you ’re already thinking about playing better?
So after Rhodes won the victory, instead of praising them, instead they poured a pot of cold water on them. Not only that, in order to prevent them from losing their heads in the victory, he also gave Old Walker an extreme The special quest ——— made him send some reliable people to the crowd, inciting chaos and degrading his men. In fact, most of the boos and insults in the stands are the result of their incitement.
"I said brat ... you do this ...... they do n’t have any ideas."
Sitting at the table, Old Walker touched his beard on his chin, a bit disturbed asked. Although when Rhodes gave him quest, Old Walker also understood a little bit of what he meant. After all, as a former genius, the atmosphere of the Midsummer Festival is still very familiar. Because of this, Old Walker also understands that compared with the Midsummer Festival, this warm-up competition is far too bad in terms of atmosphere and specifications, so it is right to cool them properly. But Old Walker is also very worried. He has seen that many talented mercenarys are sinking because they can't withstand such a blow. Not to mention, the five people after the opening did indeed show a striking charm. In all fairness, Old Walker It is very hoped that they can continue to walk without falling down because of these obstacles.
Of course, he does n’t understand the truth of Rhodes, but people are like this, especially when he is old, his heart is easy to soften. If Old Walker is ten years younger, it is estimated that he is just here with Rhodes evilly chuckling wondered how to beat these little kid and accelerate their maturity. But after all, Old Walker is getting older, and his thoughts in this respect are not as much as before, so now he is beginning to worry about whether such a blow will give those children any bad ideas .........
"Of course they will have ideas, which is also normal, old guy."
Rhodes is sitting behind the desk, looking at the documents in his hand and not raising his head to answer the question of Old Walker. Unlike Old Walker, Rhodes believes that he is very accurate in grasping the personality and psychology of these people. Marlene's self-control is very strong, and this situation is definitely not the first time for her, so she does not need Rhodes to worry. Although Leiya used to be a little flirtatious, she was very good at introspection. Now she has noticed her mistakes. As long as you make corrections carefully, the problem is not big. Not to mention Annie, Rhodes even suspected that these things had no effect on her. And she doesn't care, from a certain point of view, this is also a kind of enviable character ...
Joey and Rando may have some problems, but Rhodes believes that their problems should not be too big, because Joey and Rando are both rookie origin, rookie origin is a big advantage is that their positioning knowledge is particularly accurate, and sometimes even Some are too low. When allowed, this too low awareness will often restrain their hands and feet, so that they can not exert their 100% or 200% strength. But the advantage is that in this kind of psychological warfare, they will not be violent because of being underestimated by others, and they can accept their weaknesses and deficiencies well. This is the benefit of rookie.
So just as Rando was ridiculed by virtue of those expensive and powerful magic item, he did not want to prove anything anxiously, because he also knew very well that there were no alchemy item and weapons made by Labise, Whether he can win is really hard to say.
"But don't worry, we still need your help in this battle."
"What?"
After hearing Rhodes' answer, Old Walker was surprised at stared wide-eyed, he even took out his ears. Some of them could n’t believe the black hair youngster in front of him. His ears have n’t been reckoned yet. Is could it be wrong? But ... it shouldn't be, then what does Rhodes mean? What does he want to say? But before waiting for Old Walker to ask a clear question, Rhodes has already spoken.
"I think you know very well, old guy, how strong are the four Mercenary Guilds on the Midsummer Festival."
Hearing this sentence, Old Walker also condensed the expression on his face and became serious. He certainly knows how powerful the four Mercenary Guild are, and they have occupied the top spot in their respective regions for at least ten years. These Mercenary Guild are strong and influential in four regions, not to mention as Mercenary Guild, they have the political and economic support that Mercenary Group will never have.
Although Mercenary Association has the downgrade rules of Mercenary Guild, it is a pity that no Mercenary Guild really "enjoys" this treatment except Burning Blade of Hiller. Moreover, their struggle has completely exceeded the struggle between ordinary Mercenary Group level and reached a higher level.
Although regulation of Mercenary Association has been implemented all the time, there are countermeasures and policies, and Mercenary Guild is not a fool. Although they have reached their level, there is no way to start with Mercenary Group to eliminate those possible obstacles. But this does not prevent them from secretly doing things. In fact, each Mercenary Guild subordinate/hand has one or two Mercenary Groups. Their quest is very simple, that is, to snipe those Mercenary Group that may hit the guild seats, holding them firmly. . Not only that, they also have to prevent the hostile guild from sending people to pull their hind legs, so for the experience in this aspect of the Mercenary Group struggle, Four Big Mercenary Guilds is familiar and can no longer be familiar. In their eyes, the newborn starlight is no different from a chicken.
Not to mention that Rhodes is also very clear. The reason why Four Big Mercenary Guilds is competing for the guild quota in the Pafeld area is that on the one hand, it has the idea of strengthening its own strength, and on the other hand, it serves the political forces behind them. For these guilds who have been fighting for many years, even if Rhodes has made a stand, they will not believe that Rhodes is really on their side. So they will definitely try to get rid of the starlight and let them get out early, and then no matter which side wins, they can at least take over the next situation with someone they trust.
So Rhodes is very clear that this mid-summer festival, the starlight led by him actually faces many problems.
Reformist is naturally eyeing for himself, but the supporters of Royalist may not necessarily have a good face for themselves. Because he does not have much strength, and to talk about prestige, he is also very low now, and it is not a big deal at all. So even if Royalist knows their position, they will not be merciful to subordinate/hand. At most, it will not stab you like Reformist and then laugh at you, but before asking you to ask if you want a happy ———, is this the same result? !
Rhodes certainly does not expect his Mercenary Group to be the chick in the mushroom stew of other four big guilds chicks, but he also sees the situation very well ......... This is not going to work.
"So I need your help, old fellow."
Rhodes finally looked up.
"We have no way to compare with those Mercenary Guilds in terms of influence and economic strength, but they certainly will not rest assured that we will go all the way, so I need your help and your men ’s help."
"It's no problem, brat, but ......... you said help, what do you want me to do?"
Old Walker is now puzzled and puzzled. He is older now, and his skills are not as good as before, and even if he put it in before, Old Walker is not the opponent of these big Mercenary Guild members. The opponent is more than him, and his strength is stronger than him. Now, let alone, then ... ...... What help does brat need to help himself?
"It's very simple."
In the face of Old Walker's doubts, Rhodes did not hesitate, it seems that he has already had a plan.
"This is something you can do, old guy, and I believe that if you can do exactly what I said, then this time, we will win."
For those Mercenary Guild troubles, Rhodes can only put it aside now, because he still has more important things to deal with.
Although the warm-up competition is held this time, everything is under the control of Rhodes' from the beginning to the end. But after all, he is a man and not a god, and he cannot cover everything. So in the end, after the warm-up match ended, Rhodes found that he still miscalculated one thing ... that's what other mercenary thinks.
In fact, on the second day after the warm-up, many mercenary came to Starlight's Stronghold and signed up to join their Mercenary Group. At first, this number was not very large, only a few dozen people, but gradually the number of people is increasing. Until now, nearly 300 mercenarys have expressed their desire to join Starlight. Most of them are idle mercenary, but there is no lack of other Mercenary Group edge character, and even some mercenary that have been defeated by Starlight in the ring are also among them.
This is actually not difficult to understand. The so-called people go high and the water flows low, because in this ring game, the news that Starlight participated in the Midsummer Festival on behalf of the Pafelde area has gone wild and they participated It ’s Guild War, which immediately made many mercenary heart-wrenching. You must know that the Midsummer Festival is not for anyone to enter. If they join Starlight, as long as they show their strength, will they appear on the Midsummer Festival?
Of course, there are still some mercenarys that are not considered from the front, but considered in the long run. Since this matter has already been opened, Mercenary Association naturally does not need to treat this matter as absolute confidentiality to prevent it from being strictly guarded as before. Many well-informed mercenarys know that at this Midsummer Festival, if Starlight performs well, they will directly advance to Mercenary Guild. This is no small attraction for these mercenary. It is as if the Burning Blade of Hiller was downgraded from guild, but there are still many people who are willing to join it, because it is very likely that Burning Blade will become Mercenary Guild again. Now that they saw this opportunity for Starlight, a swarm of bees ran like flies to provoke this piece of fresh meat.
But not everyone thinks so.
In addition to the above two people who regard joining guild as their final goal, other mercenaries also has its own ideas. Some of them are expecting to join Rhodes' Starlight and get his advice. Just like Rando and Joey, ——— especially knows these two people, and they know what their strength was before joining Starlight. And in just a few months, they were actually able to pick five. This must be the force behind Rhodes. Then, even such a rookie can be successful. Would n’t it be better to go by yourself?
Just like Macbeth Mercenary Group Captain is concerned, a small Mercenary Captain is naturally disliked by everyone, but a Mercenary Captain that can be turned into gold is everyone's rush. Rhodes has done everything from Deep Rock City to now Look in the eyes. So no one thinks that he can win by virtue of luck, many people know that this young Mercenary Captain is powerful, and his vision is also very good, and he can tune two rookie into such a powerful Elite, which shows He is also very strong in this regard.
Everyone expects to meet a discerning boss, not a dumb guy.
Because of this, Rhodes was caught flat-footed.
At present, mercenary, which has requested to join Starlight, has more than 300 people, and it is moving in the direction of 400 people. It is not a problem if accident/surprise breaks through 500.
This makes the others of Mercenary Group very nervous and proud. Because they all know that this is an opportunity for Starlight, which Mercenary Group does not expect more people as possible? And if these people really join, then in terms of the number of people, they are not much different from other mercenaries guild!
More than once, someone suggested that Rhodes recruit these people into Mercenary Group, but Rhodes was unimpressed. He knew what this group of people was thinking, and he knew that this was indeed an opportunity to increase Starlight's strength. But he doesn't care at all, because Rhodes is very clear, as a small Mercenary Group, Starlight can't afford so many people. Why do those Mercenary Guild seek economic and political assistance, not just to maintain it? A guild, hundreds of people, how much does it cost? If only Mercenary Quest that little money is enough? What ’s more, taking risks is an unstable errand. You are planting wheat and there is a natural disaster. An quest that can only earn 300 gold coins. If the situation is not correct at that time, you will lose 500 gold coins. The Mercenary Guild of the ——— backup is also not long. If I really recruited these three hundred people, I would wait for a few months to go bankrupt!
So Rhodes doesn't care at all. He just waited a few days to dry these guys. They didn't have the patience to let go, so originally Rhodes didn't want to take care of it. Even if those mercenary surrounded the starlight Stronghold, he did not respond at all.
However, after listening to Vivian's talk about Chris being scared by so many people and afraid to go for a walk, Rhodes immediately changed his mind.
His way is also very simple. In the face of these mercenary, Rhodes gave Marlene, Leiya, Old Walker, Shana, Kavos three brothers a few sheet of paper. It said several locations near Deep Rock City, then he ordered Marlene and others to take these guys there, and then conducted a test, only according to the requirements on the note, the first ten out of those locations first Only mercenary is eligible to join Starlight.
And after getting rid of this trouble, Rhodes finally made time at this moment and started to sort out the loot he collected from the warm-up match.
