Summoning the Holy Sword

Hearing this news, Li Jie's face turned utterly pale, and the most terrible thing happened, which made her look up in horror, looking at Rhodes and Garcia, trying to ask for help from them— ——However, the next scene surprised Li Jie.

After hearing the news, Rhodes and Garcia didn't change their faces, and the fortress commander even smiled at Rhodes and waved.

"Okay, I know, you step back."

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing Garcia's order, the commander immediately obeyed, and after he left, Garcia strolled to the desk, picked up a bottle of red wine, and shook Rhodes.

"Mr. Rhodes, are you interested in having two drinks with me?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in being alone with a man, but then again, Mr. Garcia, now that we have repelled the enemy's offensive, how about I propose a celebration party tonight? Everyone has been so tired for so many days It ’s nice to have a banquet, isn't it?

"Well, it's a good idea. I'll send someone to prepare immediately, and please invite everyone to participate, especially Miss Li Jie."

Having said that, Garcia even turned around and looked at Li Jie and smiled.

"This time you commanded and led the mercenaries to defend the fortress of our top of the cloud and mist, and captured hundreds of enemy troops. This is a great achievement. This time, you and those mercenaries must also participate. I The chefs will surely be prepared to treat you with their favorite dishes. "

"Ah, nothing, Commander Garcia, this is what I should do ...... no!"

Upon hearing Garcia's invitation, Li Jie nodded instinctively, and then she seemed to reflect what came over. She could not help but looked up at Garcia and Rhode in panic. "Master Garcia, Mr. Rhodes, the Thorns Garrison Fortress has been lost, and the enemy has penetrated into Pafield, shouldn't we have acted?"

"..............."

Facing Li Jie's problem, Garcia and Rhode looked at each other, and Garcia reluctantly spread his hands and looked at Rhode with a complaining glance. And Rhodes shrugged, a matter of hangs high.

"What does this have to do with us? Li Jie, our task has been completed, well, don't think so much, go back and take a good rest, you have been so busy for a long time, presumably tired, rest, relax, evening Come to the banquet, as for other things, you don't need to think about it. "

"but……………"

Lijie frowned when she heard what Rhodes said. She couldn't understand why Rhodes showed such an attitude, and the situation became so tense at the moment. The reformers had already penetrated into Pafield. God knew they would do it. What come. But now, instead of commanding Rhodes and Garcia, they are not as nervous as they think they are, and they are still discussing leisurely what kind of dinner party here? Is this what they should do now? But before Li Jie's words were finished, she saw Rhodes stand up and interrupt Li Jie's speech. He nodded to Garcia, and then said.

"So, General Garcia, I'll take my men back to rest first, keep up your spirits, and look forward to your evening feast."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Rhode, I will be ready ..." Here, Garcia glanced at Li Jie next to him with a seemingly faint smile. "... I hope you will devote yourself to it."

"I am looking forward."

After saying this, Rhodes patted Lijie's shoulder, then turned and left. And Li Jie looked at Rhodes' figure, and at the moment she was sitting on the chair again, drinking her red wine with her legs on the table, narrowing her eyes and beginning to sip, and eventually turned around, Hurriedly followed Rhodes out of the room.

"Mr. Rhodes!"

Li Jie trot all the way to Rhode's side, looking at his Heping Yue who did not seem to have any strange faces, and asked uneasily.

"Do you really plan to do this? Then Pafield ........."

Rhode stopped, he turned his head and looked at Lijie beside him.

"Li Jie, you are a qualified lieutenant. I know you have this ability, and I learned everything you did from Qilian. I have to say that you have done a good job. As an lieutenant, you are very good Pass. However, as a coach, you are completely failing. "

"Mr. Rhodes?"

When Lie heard the words, Li Jie froze. She looked at Rhodes, but she couldn't understand why Rhodes would tell her this. However, Rhode also noticed Li Jie's doubts and anxieties. He reached out and patted the girl's shoulder, then turned and continued to move forward, at the same time signaled Li Jie to follow, and Li Jie followed in confusion. As Rhode walked behind the fortress, Rhode's voice sounded again.

"You know, Li Jie, we are just a mercenary guild. Of course, I'm a jazz now, but that's all. I'm not the coach of the commander's army, not to mention the nobles in the Golden City. To say something bad, I It is the principality of the Principality of Munn, but it is not the king of the Principality of Munn. It is not when we all have to ask, it is our responsibility to ask. And ...... you are too distrustful of His Royal Highness Lydia. "

"I don't quite understand ......... what you mean, Mr. Rhodes."

Li Jie frowned again, she still couldn't figure it out, but soon Rhodes explained.

"I said before that Her Royal Highness did not intend to end this war as soon as possible, because if the people of the South cannot personally appreciate the harm that war brings to them, they will not stop their war. If they are not in war I lost my father, husband, and children. Without a wife, Ion ’s family broke up, he did n’t fall into the streets, he could n’t even eat steaming food, and he could only go to the garbage dump with wild dogs. Then they would still This boring rebellion is filled with more enthusiasm and romance. If the people in the south were poor, they were not full, they were not warm, and they were always on the verge of death. Of course, this method was useless. Because they I have lost everything, and there is nothing to lose. But it is not the case. You and I know that the South is the richest place in the Principality of Munn, where even the laborers wear more than some downcast nobles and manors in the north. Much better. This time, their rebellion and so-called reading are not based on survival for themselves, but for more Interests --- so they will not watch as their own interests are swallowed by the war. "

The two walked out of the fortress, and the heat and noise in front of them rushed forward. Everywhere you could hear the soldiers screaming and shouting, as well as those who were **** and followed the guidelines honestly, and from time to time medical treatment from a distance The painful moans of wounded soldiers from the camp were intertwined.

"Li Jie, you should be very aware of Her Royal Highness Lydia's strength. Indeed, the War Angels Group basically does not intervene in the war between human beings. This is also considered by the archangel in power. After all, the ruler of a country is not human. If she then uses non-human subordinates to intervene in human affairs, it will inevitably cause national dissatisfaction. But even so, Her Royal Highness has a lot of power in her hands. The Northern Legion, the Oriental Hills, the Palace Mage Association, Yi Xian The big nobles headed by the Niya family, these are the loyalists of the Royal Party. But until now, have you seen them? Even the reform group of stupid pigs have mobilized tens of thousands of troops to Pa Field defense, isn't His Royal Highness inferior to those mindless goods, and in such a long time, even the regular army can't be transferred? Is the Principality of Munn really declining to only rely on our mercenaries to fight the world? "

"This……………"

After hearing this, Li Jie finally said nothing.

"To be honest, if Her Highness Lydia only wants to suppress the rebellion, now all the reformers in the south are flying in the wind in the grove behind the Golden City. But this is useless, so that the people still Will be immersed in admiring their so-called ideals of freedom and reading, and there will continue to be people who inherit their will to succeed. If things really reach that level, then I think I will hang a group of people behind Gold City every year in the future. People. "

"But, my elder sister has done such things before, at that time ..."

"It was different then and now."

Facing Li Jie's rebuttal, Rhodes shook his head.

"At that time His Highness Lydia had just succeeded, and there was not enough prestige to convince the public, but the Reformers had already planned for a long time, so His Highness Litia chose to cut the knife at that time, on the one hand, in the shortest time The inner royal party erected its own prestige, on the other hand it was used to delay and suppress the gang of idiots in the south. Now it is not the same, now Her Highness Lydia has settled her position and has firmly grasped She lives in the Principality, so she can rest assured that she can play a good game with those rebels, instead of flipping the chessboard and cutting the knife. The fall of the Thorns Garrison Fortress can be said to be expected by me and General Garcia. "

Speaking of which, Rhodes twitched a bit. Since the beginning of the war, Lydia has been tortured instead of sending regular troops. Instead, she has been mobilizing the noble personal and mercenary soldiers. The prosperous place, the thorn wreath, the top of the clouds, three of the fortresses outside the Pafield defense line must sacrifice one of them. Since Gaya was sent to the top of the clouds by Lydia, it must not be abandoned here. Rhodes also learned from the letter that Malin went to the flowering land, so the possible surnames abandoned there were almost zero. The rest is only the thorn rosette fortress --- its original terrain is not suitable for defense. In addition, after the thorn rosette fortress, there is only one city, Karentes, which is located in the wilderness, with a small population and no special products and Wealth is arguably the easiest place to give up. It now seems that everything is moving in the direction that His Royal Highness is thinking. And Rhodes is also very clear that his current identity is only a low-level jazz and mercenary, and that the Principality of Munn has not reached the point where all the people need to use it, so his responsibility is bound to be It can only be some preliminary projects-but this is a good thing for Rhodes. Instead of being angry because he was excluded from the war, he is very happy and comfortable. In the hands of these two hundred subordinates, they can't afford to make a splash in the thousands of wars, and the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. At that time, people who cannot say that they will be sacrificed Off. And as now, players are good at taking an elite unit to complete missions that are not head-to-head battles. After all, they have been playing this way since entering the game.

"I think you are also very clear that the reformers’ military strength is far from that of the King ’s Party, so they started the raid in order to occupy as much of Pafield ’s territory as possible when we were not prepared, and to be king When the party starts, they will ask the Light Council to mediate. At that time, they can pick up the cheap and sell their goodness --- provided that the Wang Party will give the Light Council a face. "

The King of the Face would not give it.

Ever since Lydia watched Little Bubble Gum dismiss the Blade Sword of Arashi, the Light Council has actually understood this, but they did not tell the reformists, because from the stand of the Light Council, reform Regardless of the success of the factions, their actions will weaken the power of the Principality of Munn, and Lydia can not handle it well, and may even bring to the Principality the long-term eradication of tumors and hidden dangers. However, they only need to put a few words, and then they can sit leisurely and sit on the side and watch the tigers fight. Such a cost-effective business can be done by Rhodes.

So for the Council of Light, the best way at the moment is to continue to do things, but in terms of pressure on the royal party, it is absolutely impossible for them to do the same as before, because they should have understood that if true Put yourself in, then the consequences are not worth the money.

"Have you ever caught a monkey? Lijie?"

"Catch the monkey?"

After hearing Rhode's inquiries, Li Jie could not help but stunned, she couldn't understand why Rhode suddenly turned the topic to this, but still shook her head. Seeing her answer, Rhode nodded and continued.

"I've seen some people catch monkeys. They would take a heavy clay pot, open a hole the size of a monkey's palm, and put delicious fruits in it. Monkeys reach into their hands when they see these fruits. Go get it, and then it wo n’t be able to take out its hand ......... Then, the hunter can easily walk to his side and grab the monkey. "

"Why not reach out? Mr. Rhodes? Since it can reach in, it should be able to reach out?"

"The reason is simple, when it reaches in, it is empty, but when it pulls out, it is not. And even in the threat of being arrested, these monkeys are still reluctant to let go of their fruit. In the end, it will naturally have no way out of the trap, and it will eventually be caught by the hunter ... "

With that said, Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

"And now that monkey has reached into the hole, all we have to do is to be a loyal audience by the side and watch how the hunter catches the monkey. Then, the hunter will ask The monkey attacked, but even if he saw the rope in the hunter's hand, the monkey would not let go of his hand, but foolishly expected that someone would come forward and help him escape before the hunter caught himself. "

"....................."

After hearing Rhode's answer, Li Jie lowered her head silently. She was not a fool. Rhode had already explained so clearly. Li Jie naturally understood what he meant. After a while, the girl was slightly He sighed and asked.

"So Mr. Rhodes, what shall we do next?"

"Our task is almost completed. Let ’s look at the situation of His Highness Lydia, but I think in a short time there should be no more problems for the top of the cloud and fog, and we should also pay attention to our own The mission ... I don't think it will be long before the reinforcements will come to the top of the clouds and fog, there should be nothing for us at that time, Li Jie, during this time you take a good rest, and then prepare to go to Cramer's Frozen lake, complete your next five-star mission. "

Frankly speaking, this time coming to the Pafield Line, although he has won a lot of political and prestigious capital for Rhodes, it is a very failed choice as a player. Not to mention the low level of the enemies here, Rhodes killed such a long time and got so poor 10,000 or 20,000 points of experience. As a result, this experience has not been stung yet, and he once again released a "Lava of Lava" in Grosso. "The river" was completely emptied. Next in Fiat, a rare character broke out and took a special task of "Red Rose", but the result was still playing off the ending, although the task given by Lydia was completed, but the system task failed. This makes Rhodes very depressed, and since the next battle is nothing, he also intends to take this opportunity to continue to strengthen himself and the guild. Otherwise, he will do it again, I am afraid that he will be lowered from forty levels to 40. Thirty-nine, that's not a joke.

The two talked and walked, and soon came to the outside of the camp where the mercenaries were. When Rhodes and Li Jie planned to step into the camp, they heard only an angry yelling, and then a strange voice sounded. .

"You despicable Yankees, let me go and let me fight against you !!"
