Summoning the Holy Sword

After that, not too long, the reinforcements of the fortress at the top of the cloud and rushed to the rush. After an exchange between the two sides, Nemo and others carried out rotations with them. On the one hand, these wounded soldiers were no longer here. What is the meaning, on the other hand, Nemo will also report to the commander in chief of the fortress of the cloud and mist, and he also has the task of leading the way for Rhodes and others. In any case, after all, I have exchanged with these mysterious reinforcements, and I have seen their strength with my own eyes. As a soldier, Nemo certainly understands that the army and the nobles often look down on each other. For those guys who don't know the truth, it may be bad for him, so he volunteered to lead the way for Rhodes and others, and headed towards the top of the cloud and fog.

Along the way, Rhodes did not forget to ask Nemo about everything that happened recently, and in the face of Rhode's inquiry, Nemo was helpless. Although the fortress at the top of the cloud and fog can be regarded as one of the defense lines protecting Pafield, the defense force here is not strong, and this is also related to the terrain of Pafield itself.

As the central area connecting the north and the south, Pafield's overall terrain is high in the west and low in the east, just like a triangle-shaped pie. The mountains on the west form a solid barrier to connect with the country of the night dragon. On the east side, the terrain becomes more and more gentle, especially the part that borders the south is almost a flat river. There is only a river of dawn that separates the two sides. It can be said that it is easy to attack and defend, and this is the hinterland of the Principality. Most of Ping Yueli's duties are to search for and guard against robbers and some criminals. Because of this, and for the terrain in front, the top of clouds and fog can hardly play a role as a military fortress, so now most of them take extension lines to set up some frontline outposts, and the fortress will send some soldiers here regularly. Garrison and rotation, of course, although this can lengthen the line of defense and quickly find out the bandit criminals, but once you meet the real army, this outpost battle has little resistance.

Because of this, when the news of the southern reading came, the whole fortress almost became a pot of porridge. It was originally understaffed, not to mention that in order to prevent the Dragon and Light Kingdom of the night, Lydia could not adjust the border defense. The troops came to reinforce, and this time made the fortress commander very depressed. In the end, he was only able to reluctantly merge the soldiers stationed at several frontline outposts, and ordered them to send out an signal as soon as they were attacked. assist.

I have to say that this is also no way out. The boundary between Pafield and Crosia is too long. Unlike the Atonement, the towering mountains are a natural barrier, and the fortress built by Rhodes is a must. Way, not afraid of enemies bypassing themselves. But here, if the enemy wants to bypass the line of defense at the top of the clouds, it is not difficult at all. It's really troublesome to get everything here.

"Mr. Lord, your arrival, I think the commander will be very happy. He complains about the shortage of manpower all day, but this is a big problem ...... hey, the news from the Golden City seems to be temporarily unadjustable. There are many people. Although I heard that the troops on Col Plateau and Murfest are also preparing, but when they come here, I don't know how long they will wait ... "

Rhodes rode on the horse, listening quietly to Nemo's complaints, while silent. It seems that Lydia is really ambitious this time, and the reformists will perform. The High Lord is also an acting school. In order to reduce the vigilance of the rats, the High Lord did not really do anything. In the same way, there is no meaning in the movement of troops. This courage alone was enough to make Rhodes sigh. Instead, it was someone else who heard the news that the reformers wanted to rebel against reading and would mobilize their own cronies to prevent it in case it was bad. But even if it ’s a secret, the army ’s movement is likely to leak, and the reformers, as Lydia said, are some mice hiding in the hole. Even if they hear a meow, The mice would hide immediately and no longer appear.

If you want to lure these mice out, you must give them rich food and delicious food, and watch them side by side. When the mice lose their vigilance and completely drill out of the hole, they can be wiped out.

The benefits are large enough, but the risks are large enough.

Lydia really dared to bet on this one. She actually concealed all the troops under her, and there was no leak of the wind.

But I have to say, it works well.

If these armies have already been informed that when the reforms dispatch troops, they will begin to carry out various countermeasures in an orderly manner, then the reformers will immediately notice that the other party has long been guarded against themselves and become vigilant. But now, from this baffled defense plan and rushed armament transfers, it can be seen that the Wang Dang seems unprepared for this raid-this may be exactly what the reformists dare to attack Pafield The reason.

If that's the case ...............

Thinking of this, Rhodes could not help frowning. He looked up and looked at the beautiful plain in front of him. Due to the special environment here, every morning and night, there will be dense fog and the top of the cloud It is from this.

Of course, as a traveler and player, this environment is very beautiful, but for those soldiers guarding the border, this ghost place is obviously disgusting-fortunately at least they are better than their enemies Get familiar with the environment here.

Just as Rhodes was guessing Lydia's true intentions, the top of the cloud and mist fortress appeared in front of them.

Seeing this fortress in front of him, Rhodes himself did not respond, but the mercenaries who followed him involuntarily showed a hint of wonder-the Holy Spirit is on top. This can also be called a fortress?

What appeared to the crowd was not the majestic, tall fortress they imagined. Instead, it is a very low building. There are only stone walls less than three meters high, and stone buildings that look old and worn inside, and in front of everyone's eyes, a dilapidated and outdated wooden door seems to be a seriously ill and debilitated patient Leaning close to each other makes people doubt whether they can be closed.

The scene in front of them stunned everyone. They had not seen too many military fortresses, but the fortress built by Rhodes in the Atonement Land was the most familiar to these mercenaries. In their impression, the so-called military fortress is a military fortress with tall and thick city walls, various buildings, bunkers and arrow towers, just like the Atonement Land. But right now ... I'm afraid even the guild base in the Atonement Land is a little safer than it.

"Uh ... please don't be surprised, sir."

Nemo is not a fool. Of course, he saw the surprised expressions on the mercenaries' faces, but he could only cough awkwardly and said helplessly.

"We are not a place to be valued here, so there is not much in Ping Yue ......... Of course, the environment may be more difficult, but ..."

Hearing this, Rhode nodded and said nothing more. He was also very clear that these soldiers did not receive much attention as such a fringe area that no one loved.

Under the leadership of Nemo, the crowd quickly entered this humble and shabby military fortress, and then Nemo was taken to report, while Rhodes and others were temporarily arranged in a field near the top of the cloud and mist. In the open space, I have no idea about this treatment. They were mercenaries, and they were used to eating and sleeping. Even the spiritual masters brought by Li Jie started to set up their tents and dwellings with flexible hands and feet, and did not mean to complain about the treatment they received.

very good.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhode nodded with satisfaction. A fighting team must have the spirit of hard work and hard work. This is also what Rhodes hopes Canary and Little Bubble Gum will give them the highest priority. Now it looks like it has achieved great results. Li Jie needless to say, she started the mercenary life very early, but those spiritual followers followed her only after Rhodes was drawn from the mercenary association. Before that, they had never experienced a similar life before. . Rhodes still remembers that when the spirits were first brought to the Silent Highlands, these girls were almost dying after getting out of the carriage. But now, they are calm and sophisticated and are no different from those experienced mercenaries.

"I never expected that we would fight in such a place."

At this moment, a seductive voice sounded from Rhodes' ear, and Rhodes turned his head, and soon saw Qilian was smiling and walking to his side, the two fluffy ears on his head kept turning. At the same time, behind the girl, the fluffy tail was also swaying --- on the way here, the Lord of the Elements of Fire has attracted the attention of many people.

"Don't talk about dirty and messy, the quality of defense is not high ... Master, are you sure we can block the attack of the mice here?"

"We just need to do what we need to do."

After hearing Qilian's smiling inquiries, Rhodes raised his eyebrows. After Canary and Little Bubble Gum appeared, Qilian was unexpectedly more honest, but it seems that the country is easy to change, and his family name is difficult to change. The little fox in front of Canary had not dared to do anything, and now it was obvious that she had brought her out and raised Qilian's tail again --- how happy it was at the back.

"It's not like what you should say to the host, I think, you should know what the little Lidia is thinking."

Qilian blinked at Rhodes, showing a weird smile.

"If the host is doing too well, Little Lidia may be disappointed? In this way, the host will have no chance to climb on her bed."

"What's so terrible to climb onto her bed?"

At this point, Rhodes sank slightly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Master. It should be said that it would be difficult for Lidia to climb up on your bed."

"Well, that's pretty much the same."

Listening to the serious change of Qilian, Rhode nodded with satisfaction. In this world, although he has a lot of loyal subordinates, there are few people who can talk with himself easily, only Jinsi Birds, Little Bubble Gum, and Qi Lian were able to make fun of themselves without distinction. No one but them would say that in front of Rhodes. On this continent, people's class concepts are still very clear, and what to say in front of anyone, even a cheerful person like Joey, dare to make a little innocuous joke with Rhodes. As for taking Lydia out as a joke, or giving them ten guts, they dare not.

Rhodes does not disrespect and like Lydia, but he always feels that the generation gap with these Aboriginals is also here. As a player, he prefers the unrestrained, fearless nature. That's the momentum of the players. Although they will like an aboriginal people, or respect her, they will not worship her as a **** worship, let alone fear to offend the other party and worry about it.

So he can joke with Qilian or Canary to talk about how stupid and cowardly are some Lidia's gossips, or the disdainful Council of Light and even the Dragon Spirit of Light. But this kind of remarks were placed on the aborigines, and even if it was Marin, they could only show their dissatisfaction euphemistically, instead of making such a straightforward contempt.

Of course, the joke is just a joke.

"Raw, Mr. Rhodes."

At this time, Li Jie also came over and saw Qi Qi, who was talking with Rhodes, and the girl could not help but stunned, but she came forward quickly and looked at Rhodes with some doubt.

"That ... I heard you asked me something?"

"Yes, Lijie."

Seeing Li Jie's arrival, Rhodes turned around and stared at the agitated girl standing in front of herself. He was silent for a moment, but said quickly.

"You tell Joey and Lando that they are ready. The other party may not need us for the time being. But we will not do nothing. Marlene is no longer. From now on, you will take over the position of assistant officer for her. You, in my absence, are responsible for giving orders, you understand? "

"Okay, Mr. Rhodes ......... hey? !!!"

After listening to Rhode's speech, Li Jie nodded subconsciously, and then she seemed to react, and stared at Rhode in surprise.

"Raw, Mr. Rhode, would you let me be an lieutenant?"

"Yes, is there anything wrong?"

"But, but I ........."

Facing Rhode's inquiry, Li Jie was speechless for a moment, she glanced at the smiling love standing next to Rhode, and suddenly had an unprecedented panic in her heart-Li Jie certainly understood what the lieutenant's duties were, but she never Think you can do it. She wasn't Marlene, she didn't have the ability like Marlene, let alone how to command. Especially when I think that there are so many people obeying their orders, and if they make a mistake, it is likely to kill many people's lives. Li Jie suddenly feels that the pressure on her is extremely great, and even she is under pressure. Out of breath.

"Mr. Rhodes, I, I can't do it ... I think Miss Qilian is a better choice than me, I ..."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lijie. I'm busy just warming the bed for my host. I don't have time to take over other work?"

"It's so hot now, I don't need anyone to make me sleep well."

Rod glared at Qi Lian coldly, then he looked at Li Jie again.

"I have made a decision and will not change it. Qilian has her own responsibility. If you are unsure, you can talk to her to discuss it.

Rhode interrupted Li Jie's excuse without hesitation. He stared at the girl's eyes to see the pressure, fear and worry. But he must do this. Since Marin left, Rhodes has been looking for someone to replace her position. In his opinion, Li Jie has great potential. She has a delicate mind and can notice that many ordinary people don't notice. The place. This can also be seen from Li Jie's exquisite spiritual skills. A spiritual master who can exert such precise skills can never be a carefree person.

And she has the oldest qualifications. In the mercenary circle, qualifications are everything. Don't worry about those mercenaries who do not obey her orders, let alone for the mercenaries, the spiritual master is their strong backing. Of course, maybe Li Jie is still lacking in the big picture, but Rhode just wants her to be an aide and make up for things she didn't notice, not to let her be her own staff, so this is not a problem. For Li Jie, her only flaw is her lack of confidence.

But this is not an excuse to escape.

"That's it."

Seeing Li Jie still want to speak, Rhodes held out his hand and swayed, and saw his movement, Li Jie opened his mouth, but eventually said nothing, but nodded silently, then turned to leave .

"Is that okay? Master? Xiao Lijie looks sad."

"She must grow up, not continue to live in the shadow of the big tree."

Looking at Li Jie's back, Rhode said quietly, then he frowned.

"And it doesn't help her to go on like this."

At the same time, in the humble, shabby fortress room, Nemo also finished his report. He stood at the desk and stared at the fortress commander in front of him-it was a fire red, Like a long-haired man with a jumping flame, at the moment he was wearing a uniform of a commander, but the button was untied, but he wore it like this on his body, his face full of scum looks like Without trimming, his legs were leaned on the table like this, the whole person leaned back against the back of the chair, a picture of leisurely laziness.

"Hmm ... you mean these people have the elite peak strength? The Lions can't even fight with them?"

"Yes, sir, and they also use some weird tactics ......... I have never seen a spiritual master before and can fight on the battlefield ..."

"It's very interesting. I didn't expect that those little girls who could not control the chickens could come on the field to kill the enemy. Could they use their little fists? Haha, this is really a funny joke."

"………………"

Hearing the other party's answer, Nemo shrugged helplessly. He knew that his commander was his last name, so there was nothing he could do about him. However, the other party obviously did not intend to continue entanglement on this topic. Soon, he rolled over from the chair, stood on the ground, and then stretched out his hands, pulling the wrinkled hem at will.

"Well, Nemo, thanks for your report. Now it's time for me to visit our distinguished guests."

Having said that, the man paused for a moment and then gave a playful smile.

"Yes, the one named Rhodes ... is it really beautiful?"
