Hearing this news, Leiya's's face was instantly white, and the things she was most afraid of still happened. This made her look up in dismay and looked at Rhodes and Garcia, trying to ask for help from them ——— but The next scene surprised Leiya.
Rhodes and Garcia complexion did not change after hearing the news, and Fortress Commander smiled at Rhodes and waved.
"Okay, I know, please step back."
"Yes, adult."
Hearing the orders of Garcia, the heralding soldier immediately left as soon as possible, and after he left, Garcia walked to the desk, then picked up a bottle of red wine, and shook at Rhodes.
"Mr. Rhodes, are you interested in having two drinks with me?"
"I ’m sorry, I ’m not interested in getting along with a man alone, but then again, Mr. Garcia, since we have repelled the enemy ’s attack, what do I propose to open a celebratory banquet tonight? Everyone has been doing this for so many days Very tired, it ’s not bad to have a party, right? ”
"Un, this is a good idea, I will immediately send someone to prepare, and then please be sure to participate, especially Miss Leiya."
Speaking of this, Garcia even turned around, looking at Leiya and laughing.
"This time you commanded and led mercenaries to guard our Clouds and Mist Summit Fortress defense line, and at the same time captured hundreds of enemy troops. This is a big deal. This time, you and those mercenary must also participate, I will definitely let The chefs presented their favorite dishes to entertain you. "
"Ah, nothing, Commander Garcia, this is what I should do ......... not right!"
After hearing the invitation from Garcia, Leiya nodded instinctively, and then she seemed to have responded to it. can't help but looked up at Garcia and Rhodes with some helplessness and panic. "Adult Garcia, Mr. Rhodes, Bramble Wreath Fortress has fallen, the enemy forces are deep into Parfield, shouldn't we could it be take action?"
"………………"
Facing the problem of Leiya's, Garcia and Rhodes glanced at each other, then Garcia opened both hands helplessly and looked at Rhodes with complaining eyes. Rhodes shrugged his shoulders, hung up like nothing else.
"What does this have to do with us? Leiya, our quest has been completed, well, do n’t think so much, go back and take a good rest, you have been busy for so long, you must have been tired, take a break, relax , Good evening to come to the banquet, as for other things, you do n’t need to think about it. "
"But ........."
After hearing Rhodes' talk, Leiya frowned, she could n’t understand why Rhodes showed such an attitude, and clearly things were so tense at the moment, the Reformist army had already penetrated inside Parfield, God knows what they will do . But now, the commanders Rhodes and Garcia are not as nervous as they think they are, but they are still leisurely discussing what dinner party? Is this what they should do now? But before Leiya's had finished speaking, he saw Rhodes stood up and interrupted Leiya's talk. He went to Garcia nodded and then started talking.
"So, General Garcia, I will take my men back to rest first, recuperate and look forward to your celebratory banquet in the evening."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Rhodes, I will be well prepared ..." said here, Garcia glanced at the Leiya next to it with a hint of nonchalant smile. "... I hope you will be able to devote yourself to it and enjoy it."
"I am looking forward to it."
After finishing this sentence, Rhodes patted the shoulder of Leiya's, then turned and left. Leiya looked at the figure of Rhodes', and at the moment he had re-sit in the chair, tilting his legs on the table and drinking red wine leisurely, eyes narrowed began to sleep Garcia, finally turned around and hurriedly followed Rhodes away room.
"Mr. Rhodes!"
Leiya trot all the way to at Rhodes' side, looking at his face that does n’t seem to have any strange appearance with normally, the uneasy asked.
"Are you really going to do this? Then Parfield .................."
Rhodes stopped, he turned his head and looked at the Leiya around him.
"Leiya, you are a qualified adjutant, I know you have this ability, and I also learned from Vivian everything you did, I have to say, you are doing very well. As an adjutant, you Very qualified. However, as a coach, you are completely unsuccessful. "
"Mr. Rhodes?"
Hearing Rhodes' talking, Leiya was stunned. She looked at Rhodes, and she could n’t understand why Rhodes would say this to herself. However, Rhodes also noticed Leiya's's doubts and uneasiness. He reached out and patted the girl's shoulders, then turned and continued to move forward, and at the same time signaled Leiya to follow up, and just behind Leiya, following Rhodes in doubt, toward Fortress When walking outside, the Rhodes' sound rang again.
"You know, Leiya, we are just a Mercenary Guild, of course, I am a jazz now, but that's all. I'm not the head coach of legion, nor the Noble in Golden City. To say something bad, I It ’s the people of Moon Dukedom, but not the king of Moon Dukedom. It ’s not always when we have to ask, and we have the responsibility to ask. And ......... you are too distrustful of Your Highness Lydia. "
"I don't quite understand ......... you mean, Mr. Rhodes."
Leiya frowned again, she still couldn't understand it, but soon Rhodes explained it.
"I have said before that Your Highness Lydia does not intend to end this war as soon as possible, because if the people of the South cannot experience the harm that war brings to them, they will not stop their war. If they are not in war If you lose your father, husband, or child. Without a wife, a family member, or a family, you will die. If you ca n’t eat steaming food on the street, you can only grab the wild dogs in the rubbish. This kind of boring rebellion puts more enthusiasm and romance. If those people in the South are already poorly fed, undressed, and have been walking on the verge of death, then this method is certainly useless. Because they I have lost everything, so there is nothing to lose. But that is not the case. As you and I know, the south is the richest place in Moon Dukedom, and even the workers are wearing much better than some in dire straits Noble and manor in the north. This time, their rebellion and so-called independence are not based on survival for themselves, but on the pursuit of more benefits X ——— therefore they will not watch their interests swallowed by the flames of war. "
The two walked out of Fortress, and the heat waves and noise in front of them rushed across, you can hear the screams and shouts of soldier everywhere, and the soldiers who were **** and honestly followed the guidance, and from time to time. The painful moaning sound of the wounded soldiers from the medical camp in the area is intertwined.
"Leiya, you should be very clear about the strength of Your Highness Lydia. Indeed, Battle Angel Legion basically does not intervene in the war between humans. This is also considered by Seated Archangel as a power. After all, the ruler of a country is not human, if she uses it again The involvement of non-human in human affairs will inevitably cause national dissatisfaction. But even so, Your Highness Lydia has a lot of strength, Northern Legion, Eastern Mountain, Court Mage Association, Great Noble led by Shenia Family, these are all diehards of Royalist But until now, have you seen their shadow? Even the stupid pigs of Reformist have mobilized tens of thousands of troops to the Parfield defense line, and could it be Your Highness Lydia is not as good as those brainless goods, so a long time/half of the day even a little regular army Can't adjust it? could it be Moon Dukedom really declined to the point where we can only rely on us mercenary to fight the world? "
"This ..............."
Hearing here, Leiya finally said nothing again.
"To be honest, if Your Highness Lydia just wanted to suppress the rebellion, now all the Reformist in the south have been flying in the wind behind the Golden City. But this is useless, so that the people will still be intoxicated. In the worship of their so-called ideals of freedom and independence, and there will continue to be someone who inherits their will to come and go. If things really get to that extent, then I think that in the future, I will probably hang a group of people behind Golden City. "
"But Lord Elder Sister has done such a thing before, at that time ..."
"That time was different from now."
Facing Leiya's's rebuttal, Rhodes shook his head.
"At that time, Your Highness Lydia had just succeeded, there was not enough prestige to serve the crowd, and Reformist had been planning for a long time, so Your Highness Lydia would choose to cut the mess at that time, on the one hand, in order to erect inside Royalist in the shortest time. Another aspect of her prestige is to use this to delay and suppress the idiots in the south. Now it is different. Now Your Highness Lydia has settled its position and has firmly grasped Dukedom, so she can be very Reassure the good game with those rebellious parties, instead of directly lifting the chessboard to stab the knife. The fall of Bramble Wreath Fortress can be said to be expected by me and General Garcia. "
Speaking of which, Rhodes's mouth twitched a bit. Since the beginning of this war, Lydia has been tossing about not mobilizing regular troops, but has been mobilizing Noble private soldiers and mercenary. It can be seen that she originally wanted to lure the enemy deeper. Clouds and Mist Summit, Parfield three Fortress outside the line of defense must sacrifice one of them. And since Gaya was sent to Clouds and Mist Summit by Lydia, it is definitely impossible to give up here. Rhodes also learned from the letter that Marlene went to Origin of Flowers, so the possibility of being abandoned there is basically zero. The rest is only Bramble Wreath Fortress and ——— originally. Its terrain is not suitable for defense. In addition, after Bramble Wreath Fortress, there is only one city Calentes. The place is located in the wilderness. The population is sparse and there are no special products and wealth. Abandoned place. Now it seems that everything is developing in the direction Your Highness Lydia is thinking. And Rhodes is also very clear, his current identity is nothing more than a low level Sir and mercenary, and the current Moon Dukedom has not yet reached the kind of mountains and rivers where everyone needs to use it, so his responsibility must be only some The preliminary project ———, but this is a good thing for Rhodes, he was not angry because he was excluded from the war, but very happy and comfortable. The two hundred subordinates who are not in their own hands can't turn a little bit of water in the thousands of wars, and the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. When the time comes, they can't be sacrificed. Off. And as now, it is the player's goodness to take a Elite force to complete those quest that are not frontal combat. After all, they have been playing like this since entering the game.
"I think you also know very well that the military strength of Reformist is very different from that of Royalist, so the reason why they launched the raid in the first place was to take as much Parfield territory as we could, and be Royalist. When they started, they would ask the light of Parliament to mediate. At that time, they can pick up the cheap and good-selling ———. The premise is that Royalist will give the face of light to Parliament. "
And this face Royalist will not give.
Since Lydia watched Little Bubble Gum abolish Mist Sword Saint, the light Parliament actually understood this, but they did n’t tell Reformist, because from the standpoint of the light Parliament, Reformist could succeed or not, What they do will weaken Moon Dukedom's strength, and Lydia is not handled well, and may even bring Moon Dukedom to the tumor and hidden dangers that cannot be eradicated for a long time. However, they only need to put a few harsh words, and then they can sit leisurely next to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Such a costless transaction can be done for Rhodes.
So for the Parliament of light, the best way is to continue to do it, but they are absolutely impossible to do as much as they did before to put pressure on Royalist, because they should have understood, If you really put yourself in, then the consequences are not worth the loss.
"Have you ever seen a monkey catch? Leiya?"
"Catch the monkey?"
After hearing Rhodes''s inquiry, Leiya can't help but was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why Rhodes would suddenly turn the subject to this, but she still shook her head. And see her answer, Rhodes nodded, continued.
"I have seen some people catch monkeys. They will take a heavy clay pot with a hole the size of a monkey ’s palm, and put delicious fruits in it. After seeing these fruits, the monkey will Reach in, and then his hand can no longer be taken out ... Then, the hunter can easily walk to his side and then grab the monkey. "
"Why ca n’t you reach out? Mr. Rhodes? Since it can reach in, should it be able to reach out?"
"The reason is very simple, when it reaches in, it is empty-handed, but when it draws out its hand, it is not. And even in the face of the threat of being arrested, these monkeys are still reluctant to let go of their fruit. , And in this way, it naturally has no way to escape the trap, and eventually it will be caught by the hunter ... "
Say here, Rhodes eyes narrowed.
"And now that the monkey has reached into the hole, all we have to do is to be a loyal spectator beside and watch how the hunter catches the monkey. And next, the hunter Will attack the monkey, but even if he sees the rope in the hunter ’s hand, the monkey will not let go of his hand, but stupidly expects that someone will come forward and help him before the hunter catches himself. Get out of danger. "
"…………………………"
After hearing Rhodes''s answer, Leiya bowed her head silently, she was not a fool, Rhodes had already explained so clearly, Leiya naturally understood what he meant, and after a while, the girl only slightly sighed Take a breath, then asked.
"So Mr. Rhodes, what should we do next?"
"Our quest is almost completed. Let ’s look at the situation of Your Highness Lydia, but I think in a short time, Clouds and Mist Summit Fortress should have no more problems, and we should also pay attention to our own quest ... ... I do n’t think it will take long for reinforcements to come to Clouds and Mist Summit. By that time there should be nothing left for us, Leiya. Take a good rest during this time and prepare to go to the frozen lake of Cranmer to finish the next one 5-Star quest. "
Frankly speaking, this time I came to the Parfield line of defense. Although I won a lot of political and prestige capital for Rhodes, as a player, it was a very failed choice. Not to mention that the enemy level here is very low, Rhodes has been killed for so long, and so poor 10,000 or 20,000 points of experience have been harvested. As a result, this experience has not been saved, and after Grosseau released the "Lava River" Empty completely. Next in Feyate, a rare character broke out and received a "Fiery Red Rose" Special Quest, the result is still to play off the ending, although the quest given by Lydia is completed, but the system quest failed. This makes Rhodes very depressed, and since the next battle has nothing to do with him, he also intends to take this opportunity to continue to strengthen his strength and guild, otherwise he will come again, I am afraid that he will be downgraded from level 40 to level 3. Nineteenth level, that's not a joke.
As they walked, they quickly came to the periphery of the camp where mercenaries was located. Just when Rhodes and Leiya were about to step into the camp, they only heard a burst of angry shouts. Then, a strange voice sounded.
"You despicable Northerner, let me go and let me fight you to death !!" RS
