As early as Rhodes was awarded the title of Lydia, there was already a vague idea in the mercenary circle that the Rhodes' Noble identity would be a good shield for Mercenary Guild, and nothing else, just the number limit , Mercenary Guild can not exceed 500 to 800 people at most, but Rhodes can obtain the qualification of having at least two thousand private soldiers by virtue of a knighthood, if in future it conflicts with which Mercenary Guild or Mercenary Group, then the other party is facing Starlight Guild Guild Leader What about Rhodes' mercenary? Or as a Rhodes' private soldier of Aristocratic Knight?
The former is okay to say, mercenary, everyone depends on the size of their fists, who wins and listens to whoever. But Noble is different. mercenary does not have Noble background. Once the two sides conflict, just a contempt of Noble is enough to make them will have to take the consequences. By that time, what should other mercenary do if Rhodes took this opportunity to expand its influence? Resistance? Or compromise?
At first, it was only sporadic worries, but after Rhodes became Lord of Glennvell, this voice has grown louder, because as Lord, Rhodes' private soldiers have no upper limit, basically belongs to how much he can raise, just How many ——— can he raise as long as he doesn't worry that it will arouse Royal Family's dissatisfaction. Because of this, at the moment in the mercenary circle, there are more and more criticisms and concerns about Rhodes. They are worried that Rhodes will continue to dominate the family, completely suppressing other Mercenary Groups so that they ca n’t turn over, and now Rhodes as Noble His identity is not popular among mercenary. Not to mention the problem of Rhodes there is still one right now, that is, his Starlight Guild is nominally Parfield. But now, Rhodes has become the Lord of Glennvell. If you look at it this way, then Rhodes is almost equivalent to mastering the internal mercenary forces in the two territories Glennvell and Parfield. Does this comply with the rules of Mercenary Association?
Actually Rhodes knows that right now he has a title outside, that is Mercenary Lord.
However, this title is not a good nickname. Generally speaking, whether it is Noble or mercenary, there is no good opinion about it. In Noble's opinion, since it is Noble, it should be noble, and what it is to do to run mercenary simply is a self-reducing identity, which makes people look down upon. Before Marlene went out to practice, she also encountered opposition within the family, but Marlene herself was very determined, and at that time she did not obtain the official Noble title and identity, so it is not too outrageous. But Rhodes is different. He is now Lord with official identity, but he wants to lead a team of mercenary to complete the quest run around by others. This will inevitably make people laugh.
And mercenaries is certainly not to mention, they are naturally deficient in Noble, think they are treacherous, cunning, only know to use others, hypocrisy. And the Noble status in Noble, such as Lord, is of course not welcomed by mercenary.
There have even been sound of the wind reports. Many Mercenary Group Captains have jointly requested that Mercenary Association cancel the Rhodes' guild qualification, because Rhodes is already a Noble, no longer a bitter labor rank, and is not eligible to occupy a Mercenary Guild quota. And they believe that if this is continued without restrictions, the Rhodes' forces will likely cover the sky with one hand.
They are really right.
That's what Rhodes intended.
Although it seems to others that it is strange to manage an guild and a piece of territory at the same time, Rhodes is not at all strange. In the game, most of the player guild is like this. They first acted as a Mercenary Guild, accumulated enough strength, equipment and experience, then went to wasteland Land of Chaos, and then gained control of the territory. Then everyone puts the leadership of guild on the territory, and it is basically done.
Although in reality, Rhodes has realized that because of cultural level and other issues, it is not possible to copy his entire set in the game, but this does not mean that he will give up Mercenary Guild, although in the eyes of ordinary people, one The power of Lord in the territory is much greater than that of Mercenary Guild, and Rhodes does n’t make much sense if it ’s caught. But Rhodes is very clear that the two sides are actually different.
As I said before, in a territory, mercenary is always more popular than the city guard soldier guarding the public security, because the primary purpose of soldiers is to ensure the stability of the territory, they cannot give up the job of guarding the town and go ——— who went deep into the jungle cave to find missing relatives. In the event that mountain bandit sneaked into the town at this time, and they were unable to protect the people because of lack of manpower, then who was responsible for the loss and responsibility?
This is the difference between responsibilities and identities. city guard's primary responsibility is to protect the town, not to go to the lost caves in search of missing people. The mercenaries is dedicated to this, saving people from fire and water, and is naturally quite popular with the people.
But now, Rhodes is seizing together on two fronts. Private soldiers are used to protect the land and maintain public order. Mercenary Guild will bear another part of the "serving the people" responsibility. ——— is only charged.
And now in Land of Redemption, the idea of Rhodes' has a considerable part of practice, when he took the Elite in guild to do 5-Star quest. The other mercenarys in guild are not idle. They took the team as a unit and started to take over some very common commissions, such as a relative who has been running into the forest for a long time and has not been seen, or quest that protects the caravan from leaving . The completion is not bad, plus Starlight Guild has the background of Noble Lord Rhodes, so they are also very relieved. After all, although mercenaries does not have much affection for Noble, in the eyes of ordinary people and businessmen, mercenaries is vulgar, brutal, and unreasonable. Once any dispute occurs, it is not easy to say. Now that Starlight Guild's Guild Leader is a Noble, then it must be a reasonable and trustworthy person. At least they don't have to worry about the members of Starlight Guild who will fight against their property in the middle of the water to kill them ......... This is something many businessmen will worry about when hiring mercenary.
In order to maintain "stability and harmony" in his own territory, mercenary is an indispensable strength, but if you give up Mercenary Guild, then what will happen to mercenary in the future, Rhodes will go on to manage, it will be a big bully Small suspicion. So it is better to hold Mercenary Guild in your own hands. It will be easy to know when there is a turbulence in the Rhodes, and when the combat power is gathered ... there will be additional surprises.
So Rhodes has decided that as long as his territory expands in the future, then Starlight Guild will expand to where.
This is what other Mercenary Groups are worried about.
But now, it is difficult for Mercenary Association to change this rule.
At present, only mercenary has obtained the Noble status. Only Rhodes. If Mercenary Association is like naked naked change, then it is undoubtedly telling everyone that they are targeting Rhodes'. It ’s okay if Rhodes is weak, but looking at the end of Alchemist Association, Mercenary Association definitely does n’t think he has to make the same mistake. Moreover, there is another very fatal ——— that is Grand Duke Lydia attitude.
After calming down the chaos in the South, Grand Duke Lydia was very dissatisfied with many mercenary incitement and participation in the rebellion. She even warned Mercenary Association very formally that they should restrain mercenary in their jurisdiction. Don't do something "beyond your identity". This makes Mercenary Association naturally scary enough. After negotiation with Royal Family, Mercenary Association had to choose a compromise. That is to say, after this, within Moon Dukedom, the former practice of upgrading to guild from Mercenary Group was temporarily suspended, but from purple lily. , Eagle of Kohl and Starlight large guild jointly manage all Mercenary Group in Moon Dukedom, which also means that the Mercenary Guild three giants within Moon Dukedom are finally formed!
Under this background, the expansion of Rhodes is also a matter of course. Mercenary Association can't do anything about it.
But even so, Rhodes has to personally express its own attitude, so that those foolish idiots realize this and want to fight against him, then they will pay a great price!
But the purpose of Rhodes's visit this time is not limited to these.
When the first thin snow of the cold winter fell slowly, the carriage that Rhodes was riding in had already arrived at the gate of Mercenary Association Moon Federation in Sphinx City, unlike the low-key Association in Deep Rock City, the Mercenary Association Federation in Sphinx looked Very tall and full of dignity. This is the eve of Cold Winter Festival. A lot of mercenary comes in and out, and the arrival of Rhodes' naturally attracts the attention of many people.
As usual, Rhodes is wearing a black formal Noblility attire, which has almost become his logo. But for makes one surprised, Rhodes' did not hang a long sword around his waist. On the contrary, he also carried a small bag in his hand and did not know what to put. And in this way, under the eyes of everyone puzzled, Rhodes walked blankly into the door of Mercenary Association. Soon, he saw Victor and Bartel standing in the lobby, chatting. At this time, the Guild Leader of the two Mercenary Guilds who were chatting naturally saw Rhodes.
"Hello, Master Rhodes, I haven't seen you for a long time."
When I saw Rhodes, Victor showed an elegant smile, and then slightly lowered gave a bow to Rhodes. The Bartel stretched out his hand with a laugh and waved to Rhodes.
"Yo, brat, I have n’t seen you for a long time. It looks like you ’re mixing well!"
"Hello, Mr. Victor, Mr. Bartel."
Seeing the two, Rhodes also nodded in response, then he looked at Bartel, and then, Rhodes walked forward quickly, his face ... with a warm smile.
Next, Rhodes walked to Bartel's side and took his hand.
"Long time no see, Mr. Bartel, I think you remember the bet between us."
After that, Rhodes smiled started talking. RS
