Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Rhodes certainly does n’t care what stupid punishment and treatment the poor worm in the black prison received. Early the next morning, Dasos hurriedly left the Land of Redemption with the investigation team and went back to Alchemist Association. Of course, Rhodes is very clear that the poor old Alchemist might not be so easy to persuade Alchemist Association to come up with so many materials this time. But he was not worried. Anyway, the agreement between the two parties has been confirmed in Church. If Alchemist Association wants to break the contract, then their credit on Dragon Soul Continent will also be wiped out.
Although the Alchemist Association suddenly came to the door as a disaster for Rhodes, it also reminded Rhodes that his concern for Fortress is not enough. Especially on the issue of Labise, Rhodes once again deeply felt his shortcomings ——, he even began to consider Labise equipped with a deputy. This is a very important thing for Labise. The girls themselves are introverted and shy. normally doesn't talk to people at all. This is not only reflected in daily life, but also in work. It takes a lot of materials to make alchemy item in Labise, but girls always feel embarrassed to ask Rhodes, but rather oppress themselves to find a way, and because of this, Labise will be enveloped by the idiots of Alchemist Association Things come. If someone can help her by Labise's side and contact and communicate with Rhodes when necessary, then this kind of thing will hardly happen.
Although it is easy to say, it is very difficult to find such a person. First of all, the other party must be a person who is trusted by Rhodes, and it is best to be female. In addition, she needs good communication skills and a keen sense of Labise's inner thoughts. She must also have a certain combat ability to protect Labise in the event of a sudden accident/surprise situation. In the end, the most important point —— Labise must be able to accept her. And it is definitely not an easy task to let the introverted Labise open up to accept and trust a person.
After listing these conditions, Rhodes only found that there were no qualified members. Right now Starlight Guild is still in its infancy, almost a radish and a pit, and no extra manpower can be found. Although Canary and Little Bubble Gum can stay in Fortress for a long time, they are not the kind of people who can stay calm and spend a whole day in the alchemy workshop. And Little Bubble Gum is responsible for training mercenary in Fortress and at the same time teaching combat skill of Healer about PvP. The Canary also needs to fill the vacancy left by Marlene to ensure the smooth operation of Fortress. Neither can draw origin. As for Anne and Leiya, it goes without saying that they all have to follow Rhodes to fight for the north and the south, and they can't smoke origin at all. Vivian is very busy, but considering her character, let alone being Labise's deputy, I am afraid that in the end the little fox also made Labise her puppet.
Although Chris is very close to Labise, but her body is not very good, and Chris is not capable of protecting herself and Labise. Although Celia meets the requirements, it is a pity that she is not Core Card. As a high rank Summoning Card, Celia consumes a lot of soul strength. If you want to maintain her summoning for 24 hours without interruption, it will be as short as three or five days as in Feyate, but to maintain it forever, it is also a big burden for Rhodes'. Holy Sword Card can't be created like Pale Snow Spirit/Elf · The consumed soul strength is very impressive. In order to ensure their own safety, Rhodes is absolutely impossible to consume at least one fifth of strength every day to maintain the existence of Celia in the outside world. What's more, the amount of strength consumed to maintain Summoned Spirit has a considerable relationship with the distance. If Rhodes goes to Golden City and leave Celia here, then the soul power he needs to consume every day may not be enough to maintain himself.
Thinking of this, Rhodes and can't help but remembered Marlene.
Although after returning to Fortress, Rhodes' spent most of his time on the rest of Mercenary Guild, but he also did not forget to pay attention to the outside world ’s every move. Through the Old Walker and "Silent Blade" cooperative intelligence network, the intelligence from all parts of the world reaches the Rhodes' desk every day, so that he can understand the current continent movements as soon as possible.
The civil war between North and South is still not over. The troops dispatched by Reformist arrived Calentes "without incident", which made the members of Reformist ecstatic. In contrast, the Northern Royalist Allied Forces, after forming a half encirclement circle, no longer have any major movements, but sometimes several legion will unite and do siege exercises — nearby people who do not know, thought They came here for military training.
But seeing this, Rhodes is already certain, and the fish is hooked.
Although it appears on the surface, the defenders of Calentes have as many as 70,000, enough to compete with the 60,000 people of Royalist. However, this is nothing but beautiful on the surface. The army of 70,000 people means that the amount of military food consumed is also very considerable. Now the grain reserves in the south have been burnt out by the fire of Rhodes. There is not even food that can be harvested. In the past, in order to stabilize, Southern Parliament has opened warehouses to release grain, and almost consumed only the remaining grain. Now, for the food ration of 70,000 people, Rhodes really wants to see where Southern Parliament will produce so much food. —— Calentes is a very remote and desolate city, it does not have so many reserves.
And through the Old Walker intelligence network, Rhodes has also learned that the Emissary of the light Parliament did reach the Golden City, but did not see the shadow of Grand Duke Lydia, I heard that the Grand Duke heard the anecdote of the melting of the frozen lake , So I went to Cranmer Area to watch the scenery and take a trip ... As for when to come back, I am afraid that only the genius will know.
Although under this status, the large-scale war between the two sides has not happened, but there are many small-scale frictions. Rhodes has also heard many rumors and deeds about Marlene leading the Shenia Family magical guard to repel Southern Legion. Not only her, but in this situation, a number of families within Moon Dukedom will send their heirs and confidants to the front line to experience it, on the one hand, to hone themselves. On the other hand, he also expressed his attitude to Royal Family. As the first family in Moon Dukedom, Shenia Family is naturally attracting much attention.
Every time I hear about Marlene, Rhodes' ’s mood is very complicated. He is very happy that Marlene can walk on a correct path. With his knowledge of Moon Dukedom Great Noble Family, as long as Marlene can play well in this battle , Then the position in Royalist will naturally rise, becoming more and more stable. After that, taking this opportunity, Marlene should be able to enter the ranks of Royalist seniors in a very formal identity and make all preparations for inheriting Shenia Family.
Although for Marlene, her future is bright. But Rhodes was reluctant to leave her at all. Let me not mention the intimate relationship between her and herself. Marlene's own ability is also a big help for Rhodes. As a born political talent, Marlene not only has unique advantages magic talent is equally outstanding in politics. Starlight Guild can leap from a small group of less than ten people to the current scale without falling apart, a large part of the credit goes to Marlene. If you can, Rhodes really wants her to be a deputy in her life. When the time comes, Marlene will do something, and if he does nothing, he will go ... Uh.
Unfortunately, Rhodes can only think about this kind of good things. Although Marlene likes himself very much, there has also been a relationship beyond friendship between the two parties. But Rhodes does not think that Marlene is the kind of woman who will be bound by it. She came out of Shenia Family and was raised as an heir. As a qualified and excellent heir, Marlene is absolutely impossible as described in the poor novel "As long as I can follow you, I can abandon everything, nothing, as long as you love me, I will have no regrets ...... This simply is cheating a child, a mature person should understand his responsibility. If Marlene really makes such a choice, then it is really naive ——— but according to Rhodes' observation, with the character of Marlene, she It is absolutely impossible to do so.
If Anne and Leiya's were talking, that would be unclear.
"Hah ..............."
He raised his head and sighed. Rhodes lowered the quill in his hand, looked at the pile of documents in front of him, and shook his head helplessly. Without Marlene, many things become very troublesome. Although Marlene has set up a very complete process and regulation for the entire guild before leaving, there is no problem as long as you follow these steps. But no matter how good the motherboard's CPU performance is, it's useless. Without the ability like Marlene, in the final processing stage, even if they are already accustomed to managing Rhodes and Canary of guild, there will be some hassle in ———. In the game, they do not need to care about players.
Forget it, it ’s no use thinking now.
Thinking of this, Rhodes shook his head, and tossed the shadow of Marlene that appeared in his brain. Then he shot out the little bell on the table and shook it gently. With the crisp little bell sound, the door of study room opened, and then Agawei moved tentacles as usual, indifferently, and walked in. The two tentacles under her stretched slightly to the side, looking like human picked up her skirt Rhodes gave a bow, this is not too slow, not smooth asked.
"Master, what do you ask?"
"How is the current situation of Fortress?"
Rhodes thought about it, then asked. Sea Elf is pretty good at this point. As element creature, they have telepathy strength between them, and as their highest level Agawei, they can easily get the movement of most people in Fortress through other Sea Elf. And hearing Rhodes' inquiry, Agawei first closed eyes, silent for a moment, and then only re-eyes opened, started talking.
"For the time being, everything in Fortress is normal, but the Magical Construct, which you designed before, is officially equipped today."
"Oh?"
Heard here, Rhodes eyebrow raised.
"Take me to see."
Next, Rhodes started talking.
On the vast grassland, the breeze gently stroked the grass, which caused a ripple like a wave. The whole grassland looked so quiet and peaceful under the sunshine. But soon, dozens of war horses roared past the grassland, whistling, breaking the unique tranquility in this grassland. These cavalries raised the spears in their hands high, changed smoothly, organized a charge formation, and rushed towards the horseshoe to step forward, the rumble of the sound echoed on the grassland. Countless grass scraps were rolled into the air with the horses flying, and then spread back under the breeze.
When Rhodes came to the grassland, I was seeing the cavalries cross-exchange originally in a very flexible way. A forward triangle formation changed its direction in just a few seconds, but it was speed. Unabated to the right. And at this time, the cavalry headed seemed to perceive the existence of Rhodes', he suddenly whistled, and the whistling sound cavalry accompanying this sharp suddenly tilted to the side, and then rushed straight toward Rhodes.
The sound of horseshoes is one after another, and muffled is as loud as thunder. Just dozens of rides, at the moment, it gives people a look like a storm is coming, and they can't resist and contend. But Rhodes was unmoved. He was just behind both hands, looking calmly at the cavalry who charged him.
Just as the cavalrymen were about to rush into Rhodes' attack range, they suddenly slowed down and then uniformly, just like a robot controlled by a program, stopped at the same time in three steps. At this time, the cavalry headed came to at Rhodes' side on a horse trot all the way, rolled over and dismounted, and then lifted his black armor mask. A face full of young vitality and vigor was revealed.
"Sir Rhodes, hello."
"It looks like you are good job, John. How do you feel?"
Looking at the youngster, Rhodes a slight nod, in response.
The youngster in front of me is the John that Rhodes picked up from Parfield. Grayer. After mercenaries of Starlight Guild left the front line of Parfield, John also took more than sixty people who had fled to Fortress of Starlight Guild in accordance with the Rhodes' order. However, unlike mercenaries, their identity is Rhodes' private soldiers and their officials
Frankly speaking, before coming here, John still had a lot of doubts and uneasiness about Rhodes. In his view, a young Noble · no matter how powerful it is, it is limited. Otherwise, in dire straits will not lead mercenary to fight. But soon, this majestic Fortress made John stunned, and after Canary and Little Bubble Gum gave this youngster a non-trivial dismount, the doubts in his heart were finally completely eliminated, and he began to work wholeheartedly for Rhodes. —— can have such The huge Fortress, with such powerful and powerful men around, such a future of Noble can be foreseen.
Now, John has personally felt the benefits of being a Rhodes official.
"Very good, adult."
After hearing Rhodes' ’s inquiry, an excited smile appeared on the face of John. He reached out and knocked on the heavy black armor he was wearing. The half-hull armor worn by the cavalry for light movement was different. John and his men wore full-body armor that looked incomparable to heavy. They were protected from head to toe and everywhere. Not only that, but on their arm parts, there was a sharp prism-shaped shield unfolding. On the front of the sharp, the tip of a long spear is extended, and on the back of the shield, there are two cones that are slightly thinner than the arm, and the long thorns of the tooth-like sharp extend from the back. This bizarre design makes these cavalry soldiers look like monster covered with teeth all over the body, unable to talk.
"To be honest, at first I thought this armor would be heavy, but I did n’t expect it to be as light as leather armor. It did n’t feel inconvenient and inflexible at all! Not only that, this strange Weapons are also surprisingly easy to use, lord, I really did n’t expect that you could actually make such a thing! "
The excitement of John is not unreasonable. As a person who used to be in Noble Family origin, he certainly would not be as stupid as those ordinary soldier. He was well-informed, put on this black armor, and picked up the weird prism-shaped shield for a trial, he immediately realized that this is not ordinary equipment, but something like alchemy creation —— is extremely popular on the market. Rare, let alone large quantities of equipment for soldier. Even in the impression of John, even the most elite troops in Southern Legion have never been treated so well! !
But now, when I first arrived, this adult gave him such a precious gift, which made John sure that he made a very correct choice.
Seeing the excited expression of John, Rhodes is also faintly nodded. He certainly understands why John is so excited. This set of equipment family was not imagined by Rhodes himself, but the alchemy construct that was invented by Dragon of the Dark Night Kingdom in the future and equipped in batches. It is not only lightweight, flexible, but also extremely lethal. In the future, the reason why Dragon of the Dark Night Kingdom can sweep continent rare adversary is also related to this set of alchemy equipment. However, at the time of manufacture, Rhodes and Labise also referred to the difference between undead and humans, and the armor was weakened and adjusted to make it more suitable for human use.
"This set of equipment is still being fine-tuned. If you feel there is any problem in use, you can ask it, I will let Labise fix it ... Yes, I said before, let you give This unit has a name, do you think about it? "
"Of course, I have already thought about it, Master Rhodes."
After hearing Rhodes' speak, John can't help but proudly raised his chest, and then started talking.
"I plan to call my army Black Wild Rose, what do you think of may I ask?"
Unexpectedly by John, when he heard his answer, the corner of Rhodes''s mouth suddenly twitched strangely, and then his expression seemed to become quite complicated.
"Black Wild Rose?"
Rhodes raised his head oddly, looked at John, and looked at the cavalry wearing black armor behind him ——— Uh, he is not incomprehensible in black, but that rose ... how to make Rhodes feel like this Awkward?
It ’s okay if it ’s normal, but when I think of myself going to the battlefield with them later, they are mixed in a group of “Black Wild Rose”. I do n’t know why Rhodes feels a bit shudder. He looked at John strangely and without good intentions, then murmured inwardly.
I only know that the old rogue of Garcia likes this bite, is it possible that the young guy John also likes this tone? Otherwise, there are so many names in this world, why did he choose such a rose? Is n’t it better to call roses than roses? This always reminds Rhodes of some things in his world that are not so pure and evil ... Is there such a hobby in this youngster bone? This is really surprising news. If this is the case, I would have known that I would not bring him back from the front line of Parfield, but throw it there and leave it for the old fox Garcia, maybe both will be able to " What a spark of enthusiasm "friction".
"......... Rhodes Master? Is there any problem?"
See Rhodes', asked of John somewhat uncertain. He thinks that the name is very good — or that he wants to break his head, in so many days, only thought of the name. Although John once summoned his subordinates to brainstorm, after all, this is their team, and a prestige name is naturally better than anything. But the result of the convening was not very satisfactory. As for "Black Wild Rose" is still good, those "black whirlwind" ... John is embarrassed to be premised on Rhodes.
"Uh ............ cough."
After hearing John somewhat uncertain's inquiry, Rhodes coughed awkwardly, and then calmed down again, glancing at John and the cavalry behind him.
"I think this name is a bit too soft. In the future, we are going to charge and face the enemy. With the sharp knife on the front line, the name of the rose is a bit ... so, this cavalry team, we are named It ’s called Black Blade Guard, what do you think? ”RS
