"Hu... ............"

When Rhodes walked out of Stronghold, it was already afternoon, and the evening glow brought a bright red light at the edge of the horizon. Looking around, you can see a lot of mercenary and soldier looking nervously rotating, and the whole street is filled with a tense atmosphere. Because everyone knows that when the sun goes down, it is when the battle starts again.

But now, Rhodes is not feeling at all. a burnt out feeling gushing from deep in his heart, he just looked around for a moment, and then sat on the stone chair next to the central park. As the busiest public place in Land of Redemption, there were always many people here in the old days. They gathered here to rest, talk, laugh and chat. But now, the serious wartime atmosphere has enveloped the entire Fortress. The lively park of originally seems extremely deserted at this moment. Rhodes just sits in a chair like this, looking bored at the sky above. He tuned out the System Panel in front of him from time to time and then turned it off. Then tune it out, and then turn it off. If you can, Rhodes at this time really wanted to go from offline in this "game", and then go back to the leisurely "real world", to find someone to drink a glass or go to the fraternity to tease her school girl Whatever, there is no need for him to worry about war or his life or death. Maybe I will complain that the job is hard to find now, and the line should be lined up as a dog. Even if I test for dozens of qualifications, it does not mean that I can find a good job, or I can listen to others who are envious, jealous, and hate. Dad, after graduating, I went directly to the company to be a management team. It ’s all fate ...............

Maybe in that world, I will be busy running around for houses, cars, and wages, but I wo n’t be so worried about my life. He lives in a peace. Tranquility, a country without war, every day is troubled by the big things of sesame, graduation thesis, work, interview, then love, break up, mortgage. Marriage, divorce. This is what Rhodes should be concerned about. As for the future of continent, he never considered his life or death. Even in the game. That is more for player to fight for their own breath, but that is only a game after all. Rather than reality, you may be able to lead a group of people to fight the world invincible, but these glorious experiences and reputations are not at all helpful to your job search form. It's like Old Liu. In the game, he is a Grand Mage with awe-inspiring features, but in real life. He is nothing more than an ordinary white-collar worker. Even if destroying the Heavens and exterminating the Earth is admired by thousands of people in the game, so many player just see his back shivering, it will not let him get any benefit in reality. In fact, Rhodes and others will listen to Old Liu from time to time complaining about their boring work. An incompetent and vain boss, a colleague who likes flattering but can't do anything at all, loves vanity, and always likes to buy some cottage leather-filled wives. There is also a daughter who likes to dye her hair into a pinch of yellow and a pinch of blue and does not go home on time every day to let herself worry. Everyone has their own life. Rhodes now clearly remembers that for the first time, he led Starlight Guild to participate in the "Dragon Soul Heart" World Athletic Tournament held by Game Company. He even failed to make a trip for various reasons. Because they are different from those professional studios, many of Starlight are just ordinary player, which also causes a lot of trouble when they want to participate in the competition. For example, Canary has to attend a cram school and write a research report. Little Bubble Gum has a large table for summer vacation assignments. Old Liu needs paid vacations. I do n’t know if it can be approved. Hot Smoke even plans to take a honeymoon during Golden Week marriage ... ......

If it ’s not the Game Company that is responsible for inviting and helping them to reimburse the cost of meals, accommodation, etc., plus the world competition sounds very bluffing, maybe Rhodes can only go alone to go to the individual competition championship, as for the starlight There is no way to have the glory to reach the top of the world. No wonder, no matter how glorious, this is just a game after all. Perhaps in the view of player of Dragon Soul Continent, it is a glorious thing to be able to participate in such a world-wide competition and then ascend to become the king of the world. But what is the fact? For Canary, even if she won the championship, she will not add a point to herself in the college entrance examination. For Little Bubble Gum, accepting cheers in front of people does not mean that there will be a large group of fans rushing to help herself write summer homework . Even if it is called the dharma god, Old Liu must be overwhelmed by how to explain to his wife that he came out to participate in the competition this time instead of looking for a white-collar Xiaomi to cheat on. So that at the award ceremony, the expression on the Old Liu face was almost crying when the game sign girl wearing three-point bikini was next to it. If it was not for a prize of more than 100,000 yuan, I am afraid that he will face the roar of Hedong Lion when he returns home. Threatened.

This is just a game, no matter how glorious, it will have no impact on society and the entire world. Their victory will not change the destiny of the world, and their defeat will not destroy the world. Although with the rapid development of the information society, network game competition has gradually entered the public's attention. However, it still cannot be compared with large-scale events such as the Olympic Games or the World Cup. In the eyes of most people, this is still just a trick.

Probably because of this, they can easily enjoy the game.

But now ... I don't enjoy this kind of fun at all. What Rhodes expects now is to survive, even if he doesn't care about the changes of continent, or the lives of other people, but this kind of survival The pressure of heavily is still on his heart, making him feel tired and exhausted.

"This is really not interesting at all ........."

Rhodes close the panel again, muttered.

After that, Rhodes and Canary discussed for a long time, and only felt the future was dark. Although the current Irene has not yet entered adulthood, the strength should not be so terrible in the game later, but as the incarnation of Jurisdiction of the Moon, her own attributes strength will not change. In the presence of the moon, it is almost impossible to defeat or defeat her. But if it is really Irene destroyed three Saintess Statue, then Rhodes can be sure that this side is completely finished. Although it may be a good idea to cover the moon. But the problem is that whether it is Little Bubble Gum or Canary, their permission rules are irrelevant, and naturally this cannot be done.

And what makes Rhodes cry and laugh the most is that what he heard from Leah is. The reason why this Princess Your Highness will come to the front is entirely because she heard the rumors that Land of Redemption repulsed Undead Legion before. Although several other battlefronts also have different levels of stalemate, only Rhodes, the battlefront, completely repulsed the Undead Legion, and it is precisely because of this that it aroused the interest of Irene. What kind of existence is it that repels Undead Legion.

After learning the truth, Rhodes can only raise his head and ask the sky silently. It turns out that it is too good to be a sin. I knew he would provoke this tricky character. I should have played harder and harder. Ok ... but Rhodes is very clear, if you really do that. I am afraid that now Fortress has fallen. If I knew the intention of this Princess Your Highness earlier, maybe Rhodes would show a little more modesty, a little low-key, and then get a neither dead nor alive scene. In this way, maybe Your Highness Irene doesn't see anything interesting, so I just go home. That's good for everyone.

Unfortunately, there are no regrets to sell in this world.

Rhodes blinked, in his eyes, the huge gold wire formation slowly turning on the sky is so eye-catching.

Is there anything more interesting than this?

"Hah ..............."

Thinking of this, Rhodes and can't help sighing, he will not show this expression in front of others. As a Leader, it is important to maintain dignity and confidence at all times. If you let your men see you frowning. Then they will also worry about it, even if things are really worse than they thought, Rhodes should tell them that this thing is not bad at all, and the facts are already terrible ———.

For Irene . Rhodes Not sure at all. this Princess Your Highness She is really precious, she stays most of the time Moonlight Castle with Royal Library Here, or go to the theater to enjoy opera and symphony. And at that time Rhodes Or lead others in Continent of Light Shangyu Four Demon Generals Confrontation is either against the light Parliament Invade. Since this Princess Your Highness If you do n’t come to your door, then Rhodes Naturally, there is no way to communicate with her. Also unable to understand Irene Character and ideas. Only from Kingdom of the Night On the forum there Princess Your Highness Part of her situation is restored in the communication description of. But even so, Rhodes Won't believe Irene I will be kind enough to sit and look at myself because I look at them legion by him destruction To the point that it ’s not just brain-dead with Holy Mother , Completely betrayed the country.

In the end, he and Canary and others discussed the result of a long time/half of the day, and Canary and Little Bubble Gum assured Rhodes that they would “at all costs” prevent Irene from starting Saintess Statue, but Rhodes must be eliminated as quickly as possible during this time. Those Undead Legion, or directly defeat them. Once you find that your own defeat is inevitable, then maybe this Princess Your Highness will turn around and leave. Of course, Rhodes also knows that even if they add the Vivian after they are unsealed, it will not be too long to block Irene. And now, the other party still has 140,000 Undead Army, which is definitely not a small number.

And at this moment, a crisp, soft and soft voice resounded like wind chime.

"......... Rhodes ..................?"

With this whisper, Rhodes felt a little cold hand gently touch his cheek, he lowered his head, and soon saw a picture almost the same as his own, but it was better than I want to have a much younger and younger face.

"......... What's wrong with you ...? Are you uncomfortable ...?"

"No, Chris."

Rhodes sat upright, and a soft smile different from that in normally appeared on the face. He held out his hand, held the soft and smooth little hand of Chris, and gazed quietly at the girl in front of him.

"I just feel a little tired, so take a break here."

Speaking of this, Rhodes paused slightly and carefully looked at the Chris pedicle in front of him. Since this time, he has been busy dealing with Undead Legion and does not have much time to look after Chris. But Chris did not complain at all. Her superhuman maturity let the girl know when and what to do. Rhodes once learned about the situation of Chris pedicles from Labise on the side, and they all looked pretty good. And according to Labise, Chris is very similar to talent of alchemy, and also has a certain degree of magic strength. Even those Mage brought back by Marlene think that Chris can consider studying alchemy technique or magic, and it will definitely be accomplished.

"How is it? Chris pedicle? This time is a bit dangerous, you are okay."

"......... Un ......... I'm fine ..."

After hearing Rhodes' ’s inquiry, a gentle smile appeared on Chris ’s face, and she gently nodded replied in a somewhat slow and steady tone.

"... Labise ... Elder Sister ......... Everyone ... takes good care of me ...... I am also ......... effort ......... help everyone ... just ......... for a long time I can't see Rhodes ... some Loneliness ... "

"This is fine."

Hearing the sound of Chris, Rhodes felt as if his exhaustion had just been swept away. The problems that plagued him before now do not seem to matter so much. He stretched out his hand with a smile, gently stroked Chris's hair, facing the Rhodes' stroking, the girl's happy eyes narrowed, she rubbed her cheek against Rhodes' hand's palm and rubbed it gently, as if it were a kitten.

Seeing the Chris pedicle in front of him, Rhodes felt a little guilty in his heart. Although the girl had a good time here, Rhodes still felt like she had abandoned her. It was like he pulled a child who was wandering on the street, living a begging life out of the darkness, and then he threw it in Welfare home, watching her and other children playful and slapstick, nodded contentedly, then turned around and left, deep in merit and fame, it was the same to go to Fuyi. But is this really what she wants?

Rhodes can clearly feel that Chris has a deep attachment to himself. He is also the same. For this girl who is exactly the same as his own Younger Sister, Rhodes did not regard her as a substitute for the person she used to be, but But always pay attention to her. He can send Chris to a safer place and let her live a better life than now, but Rhodes understands that Chris will not be happy about it.

"......... Are you really okay ...? Rhodes .........?"

"It's fine, Chris, I'm fine."

Hearing Chris ’s uneasy inquiry, Rhodes shook his head, but the girl frowned slightly and looked at Rhodes uneasyly.

"But ... I think Rhodes ... is very annoying ........."

"………………"

After hearing the words of Chris, Rhodes fell into silence, and originally was in a quiet park. He lowered his head and stared at the ground at his feet, and because of this, Rhodes did not notice, flickering from the eyes of Chris, swaying purple fire light.

"Clang ......... clang ..............."

After a while, the hurried bell sound broke the peace, Rhodes looked up at the sky, at this moment the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and darkness was gradually emerging, covering the world.

Undead Legion is here. (To be continued)
