Summoning the Holy Sword

For Kavos, the recent Starlight Mercenary Regiment was a bit invisible to him.

After Li Jie and others were attacked before, ordinary mercenaries such as Kavos and Shana were actually very nervous. Although Deep Stone City was not small, the mercenary circle was not large, so the previous battle between Li Jie and Annie was just an instant Spread throughout the entire Deep Stone City. At that time, many people heard the news with a murmur in their hearts and didn't know what to say. During this period of time, they have been frightened, and now there is such a thing, some mercenaries are worried that this star mercenary regiment intends to work with the regular army.

Such fears certainly existed in Kavos and others, but they were also anxious and did not show it. If Starlight really has this intention, it will definitely be a big blow for these new mercenaries. Despite so many missions, many mercenaries already have a sense of belonging to the mercenary regiment. But to fight the official, these mercenaries still have no courage. Of course, these are the ideas of ordinary mercenaries. As for the mercenary commander such as Kavos, he thinks more deeply. He knows the noble status of Rhodes and Marlene. This status is not considered a peasant uprising, at best it can be regarded as a power dispute. This kind of thing is not something a little mercenary like myself can resist, just look at it.

The above struggles are always unfortunate for these little people.

However, the facts were not as bad as Kavos and Shana were worried about. The official officials of Deep Rock City did not take any action against the Starlight Mercenary Group. According to the information they received, it was not that they were in conflict with Li Jie and Annie at the time. The local soldiers, not only that, but the administrative officer of Clause even went to their stronghold personally. It seemed that it was not that they would come to trouble them.

But change doesn't stop there.

After that conflict, the Starlight Mercenary Corps suspended all operations and did not take on any more tasks. Although the previous harvest was very fruitful, the mercenaries below would not have any thoughts because of this little thing, but it would definitely not work to sit down and eat. But although Kavos and Shana were both anxious, Rhodes seemed a little unhurried, except that he occasionally let those mercenaries go up the hill to collect medicine and hunt, and did nothing. Instead, he just mingled with Lijie, Marlene, Annie, Joey, and Lando every day, and it seemed that Rhodes didn't seem to take his mind too much about the mercenary regiment.

What exactly is this leader thinking?

Kavos wasn't sure. Shana was better, but there wasn't much better. The news that the Starlight Mercenary Regiment would participate in the Midsummer Festival on behalf of the Pafield area did not tell others, and the Mercenary Association was not stupid enough to announce it. Otherwise, when I hear the news, what if other mercenary regiments explode? Everyone is a mercenary regiment. Why should they be represented instead of us? Starlight has not been established for half a year. Where can they qualify to represent mercenaries in the Pafield area?

Although most mercenary regiments will keep silent with the concept of "harmony and unity," the mercenary associations also know that there are always a few thorns in these mercenary regiments. Once they know this, they make trouble Come to the door, not only will the association feel a headache, but it will also make mercenary associations in other regions look at jokes. This is so depressing.

Therefore, the mercenary association simply closed the door without saying a word, and waited until the Midsummer Festival was about to be announced. At that time, even if someone was going to be upset, there would be no time.

But Kavos didn't know. Frankly speaking, from the bottom of his heart, he really hoped that he could do more tasks. Due to a series of actions by Starlight during this time, they have jumped directly from third to first in the standings, pulling the back by a full 3 points. This is a very good result. In Kavos's view, if Starlight can continue this way, then until the winter break, Starlight will be the veritable first mercenary regiment.

The First Mercenary Regiment, the name sounds very pleasing to the ear, isn't it comfortable?

Although Kavos also led the mercenary regiment, the mercenary regiments he led before were all mid-to-low-end, hovering around a dozen perennials, and being able to take the **** into the top five was enough to excite Kavos. I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. At this moment, it seems that the status of Starlight is so stable now, and the gap behind it is so large. Naturally, I want to widen the gap. It is best that the Starlight Mercenary Group is smiling and proud. A little dream, right?

So at the moment when Rhodes looked slack, it seemed that he hadn't put these in his eyes at all, and Kavos was a little bit "the emperor is not in a hurry."

Shana does not have the idea of ​​Kavos. As a head of a mercenary, she is still very secure. There is not a lot of male mercenaries who have to fight for the first concept. In her opinion, As long as your mercenary regiment can live well, it doesn't matter what number. But even so, she was a bit worried that if this continued, it would have a bad effect on the mercenaries.

Although the starting points of the two sides are different, after the meeting, the two still decided to talk to Rod, at least to know what the leader of the regiment currently thinks about the development of the mercenary regiment.

Coincidentally, when the two came to Rhode's study, they happened to see that Rhode was saying something to Marin and others, and next to him, Christie sat smartly, holding a paintbrush, Attentively watching everyone. The girl now finds a new job that is suitable for her, that is, painting portraits of people. According to the girl, she wants to use the brush in her hand to record everything in front of her, so that she can remember it later. Originally Rhodes had some doubts about Christie's proposal. Later, when he looked at the speed of Critis' painting, he did not force himself, so he defaulted to the practice of girls. At this moment, Christie was sitting next to Rhodes, watching the crowd quietly, while the brush in his hand passed quickly on the white paper, making a slight rustle.

Seeing Kavos and Shana coming, Rhodes seemed to have expected it. He nodded to the two, then signaled them to wait a moment, and then turned to the others again.

"After these days of training, your strength has improved to a certain extent, and for now, it is considered a pass."

Although Rhode's sentence was a compliment, when he heard him, everyone, including Marin, showed an embarrassing expression-Rhode's so-called passing does not mean that they can already be defeated or tied. The five phantoms in Phantom Space, on the contrary, what he called the "passing" standard is that they can withstand the attack of the opponent for three minutes. As long as they can do this, for Rhodes, these people are passing.

But obviously the parties themselves do not think so, especially after so many days of continuous hard training, although they can persist for three minutes, the end is still unchanged ... So at this moment when he heard Rod's words, everyone was I don't know how to react, but Rhode obviously doesn't care what they think. With their strength, it is impossible to defeat the five phantoms, at least so far. Through this period of training, Rod's purpose has been completely achieved. After so many high-intensity and high-level trainings, five people, including Marin, are very familiar with the battle against strong enemies, and they have also learned how to protect, counterattack, and train the effects that can be achieved in a sudden state. So far, the next step is actual combat ...

"Then, as I said, you can start preparing for the next thing. Don't forget our purpose."

Having said that, Rhode nodded, and he turned to Kavos and Shana again.

"I think the reason why you two are here should be for the next work of the mercenary group."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that Rhodes had understood his purpose, Kavos no longer hesitated, but opened the skylight to speak brightly.

"Recently there has been no action in the regiment. Everyone is agitated, and ... the mercenary regiments behind are chasing very closely. I think we will take a few more missions ..."

"Do not."

However, unexpectedly, Shana and Kavos waved their hands and rejected their opinions.

"Let's get everyone ready for these days, and then we will head to Gold City."

"Golden City?"

Hearing the word, the two could not help but glance at each other. They are indeed veterans who have been in this field for many years. Soon, they realized the meaning behind this sentence.

"Master, do you mean ... Midsummer Festival?"

Although the Midsummer Festival is the site of the major mercenary guilds, it does not mean that the mercenary regiment is gone. Of course, as mercenary associations, they know that lower-level power is the most important. If you do n’t give the mercenary regiment some bait, They are not interested in the promotion of mercenary guilds, so they cannot continue to develop. Therefore, in addition to the individual and group competitions of the Mercenary Guild, there are also out-of-round competitions for mercenary groups and indiscriminate brawls for ordinary mercenaries. The latter two are battles between mercenary regiments and ordinary mercenaries, but the winner of the last one can also win the right to fight against mercenary guilds. This is a good thing for everyone. The mercenary group is eager for fame. If they can win at the Midsummer Festival and fight with the mercenary guilds, their reputation will no doubt rise. In addition, both team and individual battles are limited in number, so the mercenary guild cannot use the sea tactics to defeat the mercenary regiment. Both sides are equally outstanding. If there is a mercenary regiment, it can burst in the midsummer festival. Cold defeat of the Mercenary Guild, then undoubtedly became the biggest hit.

This is of course highly desirable for the mercenary regiment, so every time the Midsummer Festival, there will be many mercenary regiments and idle mercenaries to participate, but it is very lively.

But for Shana and Kavos, this kind of activity is not significant.

"Sir, I don't think we need to participate in such activities as the Midsummer Festival. We are currently understaffed, and we need to fight a lot of mercenaries in out-of-circle races. This is really a very energy-intensive thing ..."

After thinking about it, Kavos still felt that this matter was very unreliable. Indeed, it was well-known at the Midsummer Festival for those mercenary regiments. However, Starlight does not have such strength, and the process of the out-of-lap race is very long. It is very difficult to reach the end. What's more, those small mercenary regiments do everything in order to win. Originally, the new mercenary regiments such as Xingguang have no masters. If they hurt a few more, then it is a big trouble.

"Of course I know this, but this time, we are not going to participate in the out of the circle."

However, Rhode's answer surprised both of them.

Didn't you go to the out-of-lap race?

Hearing this sentence, the two looked at each other, and a thought that shocked them a little bit emerged from each other ...

Is it ...

But before the two of them returned, Rhodes had solved the mystery very blandly.

"This time we traveled to Gold City to represent the Pafield area for the Midsummer Festival."
