Summoning the Holy Sword

The night of Gold City is charming and seductive. Under the dark night, the whole city exudes a soft, golden light like the sun. When viewed from a distance, it looks just like a city made of gold. The name of the "Golden City" comes from this.

Almost everyone who comes to Golden City will appreciate the night view here, and everyone in the Starlight Mercenary Regiment is no exception. After dinner, Anne has long been unable to wait for Christie and greeted Li Jie and Marlene. Going out, but at this time, Rhodes stood at the door, expressionlessly blocking their way.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight. I have something very important to tell you."

Although Rhodes said this expression with no expression and a gentle voice, after hearing this, Annie, who was so excited, bowed her head like a defeated cock, and then gave up decisively. As planned, obediently followed Rhodes into the living room.

When they walked into the living room, others were already waiting.

Rhode motioned to Anne to sit down, and then he walked among the crowd and clapped his hands. Soon everyone looked up curiously and looked at Rhodes.

"I think you also know what the main purpose of your visit to Gold City is, everyone. I do n’t say anything here that does n’t make much sense, such as glory in the Pafield area, and I think you know what you are doing now Situation. We are just ordinary mercenary regiments, and there is no way to compare them to those mercenary guilds. "

Hearing here, Li Jie was a little silent, while Marlene remained calm as always, but Rabis, Joey and Lando were a little nervous. But at this moment, Annie raised her hand curiously and asked.

"Head of the regiment, you said that the mercenary guilds are very powerful, but how powerful are they, Annie thinks they are no different from the mercenary regiment except for a little more people?"

"big difference."

Hearing Anne's inquiry, Rhodes shook his head. He made a brief comparison in his heart, and then replied.

"Let's put it this way, in the area of ​​Pafield, our previous group of opponents, their level is only about the level of ordinary members of the mercenary guild and the captain. As for the master swordsman like Serek, in the four Although the status of the Grand Mercenary Guild is not low, but in terms of strength, I am afraid that it is worse than the president. "

"So strong?"

Many people were shocked when they heard here. It is no wonder that if Rhodes directly told them how powerful the four mercenary guilds were and how many members were on average, this would be a number after all, and it would not leave a deep impression on everyone. impression. But as soon as he heard that Cerek could not even match the president in such a mercenary guild, he immediately understood how severe the challenges they were facing.

"So, we ..."

At this moment, Joey finally put away the expression of some hippie smiles, and asked with a little worry.

"Don't worry about your strength. Since I dare to bring you, I am sure of it."

Speaking, Rhodes took out a piece of paper from his arms and rolled it out in front of the crowd. The crowd looked at it, and saw something weird like a ghost drawing on it, which looks like a circuit diagram. of.

"According to the rules of the Midsummer Festival, the Midsummer Festival is divided into three types of competitions, first individual competitions, and then team competitions. Both competitions are sent by mercenary guilds, and out-of-bounds competitions are by other mercenary groups. Participating with those idle mercenaries are individual matches, and those who are eliminated in the final round of the final round will get the opportunity to compete with the guild winners to compete for the victory of the round. Of course, in the end, the ordinary Participants are not likely to win major mercenary guilds, but there are occasional exceptions ... but this has nothing to do with us, we only need to focus on the individual and group battles of the guild. "

Having said that, Rhode reached out and pointed at the paper in front of him.

"The rules of individual battles are divided into two types, one of which you have already experienced before, and the other is that the two sides send five players in order, play against each other, and win three games in five innings. This is also common in personal battles at present. The rules, we will also follow this way. Before going out, I will arrange the five people to play, and you only need to focus on your opponents. And then, what I want to say is how Defeat these guys who look high ... "

Speaking of which, Rhode's voice was much lowered, but I don't know why, in the originally warm living room, everyone was shaking unconsciously, as if a cold cold wind passed by them.

At the same time, in another place in the Golden City, someone is also busy doing this.

"It looks like our opponent is not ambitious this time."

Putting down the information in his hand, Bartle snorted coldly, and then he looked at a woman in a leather suit not far from his side. This woman looked about thirty years old. Her body was hot and rugged. The dagger dangled from the woman's waist, supporting her heroic. However, unlike the woman's guilty figure, her face is extremely ugly. The wounds of a few open flesh are not evenly distributed on the woman's face, her lips are turned out, and even the corners of her eyes are pulled thin. Long, and at first glance, it was almost as daunting as witches in fairy tales who would catch children to eat.

"Because of His Royal Highness' speech, these clown jumping clowns have a chance to be upset. It seems that they really intend to win this Midsummer Festival, and then give us an ugly!"

Speaking of which, Bartel's complexion is a bit unsightly. As a savage warrior, he was originally tall and brave, so frowning at this moment is also trembling. But Bartel's strength is not only reflected in his appearance. As the president of the Purple Lily Mercenary Guild, he is also a strong man who has reached the level of sword master. The brutal first-hand tactics are horrifying.

At the same time, Bartle was also a staunch supporter of the King ’s Party. His Purple Lily Mercenary Guild was born in the barren plains of the southwest, where drought and water shortages have been a source of death for a long time, and its color has changed. However, since the Principality of Muen took over, all the grand dukes have spent a lot of money to improve the environment there. They built reservoirs and dug underground water sources. After decades of hard work, they transformed the original barren land into fertile granaries. But everything that the Duchy of Grace did is naturally in his mind. He is also the most loyal supporter of the Kings in the Four Mercenary Guilds. Butter has always been dismissive of the clichés of the reformists. He doesn't know if he is right or wrong, but he believes that these people are not qualified to seek the trouble of the King. In his opinion, the reformists are a group of idiots who can't do anything but talk. They evaluate this all day and complain about that, but they have no intention of trying hard to change it. They can only blame heaven and others. The things they portray are too vague and impractical at all. They were there all day long and felt how backward and poor the barren plains were. But he never refused to do anything, and it was the royal family that helped them change their destiny.

So why should they listen to any nonsense reformers?

"I don't know what His Highness is thinking."

At that moment, the woman also said that she reached out her hand and tapped the table gently, a little anxiety flashed on her face.

"I have been informed that the Liberty Wings Guild has even invited Lawson, who has not appeared for a long time, to participate in this ceremony. It seems that they are determined to get it!"

"Lawson ?!"

Hearing here, Bartel's face changed slightly.

"That old monster is going to participate too? It looks like this time, our situation is really bad."

Having said that, Bartel rose up to the window, glanced gloomily at the scenery outside the window. Although the night view of the Golden City is dreamlike, Buttle is not at all appreciative. He stood next to the window like that, and after a moment it seemed like he was remembering something, and asked.

"By the way, I heard that there is another Highness Princess today? What is going on? Is it the ghosts of the reformist group of bastards?"

"It doesn't look like, President. According to the information I received, at that time, the Angel of War was sent to the lady. They are the direct legion of His Royal Highness Lydia. There is no doubt about loyalty, so I think this princess His Royal Highness may be who he is, and he is recognized by His Highness Lydia. "

"I can't figure out what Your Highness is thinking. This kind of trouble, wouldn't it be a stab to kill?"

Hearing this, Bartel complained dissatisfied, but his voice just sounded, a proud and confident voice sounded.

"That's why you are not His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is Lytia."

Along with the voice, a tall man in armor stepped into the room. He was carrying a sword and shield shining brightly behind him, and a black eagle with a flying wing painted on it.

"Battelle, don't you change this outspoken problem, be careful to lose?"

"If you can change the eavesdropping problem, your Cole's Eagle Guild will not be ironic but it will only work for you, Victor."

In the face of the other's ridicule, Battle retorted coldly. But the man named Victor didn't seem to care about it at all, he just made a gesture to signal that he was not here to argue. This man was Victor, chairman of the Cole Eagle Mercenary Guild. He is also an ally of Bartle and another supporter of the Royal Party.

Obviously, the relationship between the two was very good. Victor walked into the room and smiled slightly at the woman standing next to him, ignoring the other person's appetizing face, and then he became very familiar. Pulled a chair from the side and sat down.

"But it's good to have good ears, do you know? Butler, isn't that simple Star Mercenary regiment?"

"Huh? How?"

Hearing here, Bartle turned curiously, looking at his friends and allies. When he heard Bartel's inquiries, Victor first smiled pretending to be a mysterious man, and then he revealed the mystery.

"Do you know? The young lady of the Xenia family, but also among them?"

"Oh? Anything like this?"

Hearing this, Bartle was really surprised, and Victor reluctantly spread his hands.

"So I said, you have spent too much time on your own three-acre acre, Bartle, and now the nobles of the entire Golden City know that Miss Marin is the main member of that mercenary group, and She will also participate in the competition on behalf of Starlight. Before I came to you, I also paid a special visit to the members of the Xenia family ... But well ... I didn't hear anything, it seems that my ears are not too spiritual Ah, what a pity. "

"what on earth is it?"

Hearing Victor's words, Butler was a little bit messy in the wind, and he sat back in his chair and frowned.

"Isn't that mercenary group just making up the numbers? How could there be such a strong aid?"

"I heard that Miss Marin had to accumulate some practical experience before, so she commissioned Serek to take her to the Pafield area, and then somehow joined this starlight-oh, by the way, I also heard that This mercenary regiment was established less than six months ago. At the beginning, they only had two people. "

"Aren't you kidding me?"

Hearing this, Bartle frowned and looked at Victor suspiciously, while the latter shook his head with a grin.

"I was joking to hope, but at least according to the information I got, this should be a fact. The head of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment was just a young man in his early twenties. I heard that he was from Yamahara in the north. And there will be some weird tricks ... well, frankly, I think he should not be our enemy. "

"reason?"

"I heard that the chairman of Tianjian, the old fox Mobis, secretly gave an order for his life! And if it is true, it seems that even the parliament has sent some people to participate in this operation?"

"This is really ..."

Hearing this, Bartle took a breath of air.

"What did the boy do? Make Mobis's daughter bigger? If that's the case, should we prepare a congratulatory gift to the door and wish her a precious son?"

"I don't know much about it."

In the face of Battle, Victor smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

"But I think there must be a lot of tension right now, because Miss Marin is with that Her Royal Highness Princess. I think those guys must be in a hurry now ... haha, I really want to see their bitter faces, Li His Royal Highness Tia is a good move. "

"Who can laugh until the end is hard to say."

Looking at the smiling sunny Victor, Bartel gave him a dissatisfied glance.

"Those **** have found the old monster of Lawson to help, think about how we can win!"

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

A few moments later, Victor's voice sounded again.

"I said Battle, can't you let me forget this for a while?"
