Summoning the Holy Sword

Hearing this, Victor stood beside him for a moment, then he couldn't help looking at Battle and smiled. But in the face of Rhodes's speech, Bartle had a rare look. He reached out, touched his head, and looked at the young man in doubt. After a while, he seemed to think of something that widened his eyes, and then pressed hard. Nodded.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Boy, ha ha ha, you forgot to say that I forgot all about it ......... It's right after the Midsummer Festival. You can rest assured, I always tell you everything, as long as I say it, it must be done! "

"Yes, Mr. Battle."

The smile on Rhodes' face did not diminish, and the enthusiasm was as if it had been tenderly made.

"Since you can remember it so well, it seems that you are a real man as I imagined. Then, please accept this thing, and I look forward to seeing the heroic appearance at your winter festival."

After saying this, Rhodes passed the small bag in his hand, but Bartle reached out and took the pocket in confusion. He took the soft small bag and turned it over and looked at it, frowning, and was about to say something more At some point, Rhodes had taken a half step back, then nodded slightly to the two for a salute.

"Then I'll go report to the association first, two of you, see you in the winter festival."

After saying this, Rhodes turned around without turning his head, so he left the two, entered the passage, and disappeared soon. It wasn't until Rhodes's back disappeared that the two recovered their gazes, and then Bartle shrugged and sighed.

"I didn't expect it ... he succeeded."

"Yes, I think so too."

After hearing Bartel's sigh, Victor also nodded his head in agreement. To be honest, after the Midsummer Festival, although Rhodes' starlight was promoted to become a mercenary guild, neither of them held too much. Great expectations, because according to the rules of the association, a mercenary guild must complete at least two five-star mercenary missions a year. The five-star mercenary missions are generally very difficult. It is not surprising that Battle and Victor have enough confidence in their guild. Although it was said that in order to prepare for the Midsummer Festival, they did not have time to pay attention to the two five-stars. Copy. However, as two experienced mercenary presidents of the mercenary guild, as early as after the completion of the previous year's mission, they have already started to find and decide which two five-star missions should be taken over next year. Therefore, they are not completely unprepared. However, in the eyes of the two, Rhodes is truly unprepared. He has just taken over the mercenary guild, and he is facing such a problem. In addition, Starlight has always been short of staff. This also makes them quite pessimistic about Rhodes' prospects. To be honest, after Starlight was promoted to the guild and saw so many mercenaries wanting to join, Victor and Butler also felt that Rhodes was not without hope. But then Rhodes' strict screening system was to surprise both of them. According to their views, although the level of mercenaries who came to join them was not the same, since they are mercenaries, there is always strength. of. If Rhodes can take advantage of this opportunity to recruit a total of 800 mercenaries, it is not impossible to rely on the number of people to push off one or two five-star missions. However, Rhode's move was far beyond the expectations of the two. Under his strict screening system, the mercenaries currently joining Starlight are less than 500, and there is no way at all with Purple Lily and Cole Eagle. ratio. Although it is not impossible for the two to understand the idea that Rhodes is expensive, but sometimes people have to bow their heads like reality. It is true that some mercenaries are not strong enough, but at least they are obedient and willing to dedicate their strength to the guild. This is enough in their opinion, isn't it?

Because of this, they are not very optimistic about Rod's guild strength. They must integrate mercenary manpower in such a short period of time, and at the same time they have to find two five-star tasks to complete, and Rod is not like I started to prepare as early as a year ago, so I was so busy, if I could complete the task, I would really see a ghost!

So ... they really saw a ghost.

Not only did Rhodes complete the mission, but he was also the first to complete two five-star missions among the three guilds. According to internal information, he did not look like Battle or Victor when completing these two five-star missions In that way, they led a large group of soldiers. On the contrary, almost two times, the total number of mercenaries led by Rhodes did not exceed one hundred. I have to admit that when they heard the news, neither Bartle nor Victor faltered. They simply couldn't imagine what kind of method Rhodes used in such a short period of time, using so little. The man did it.

But now, he did it after all.

The gossip of the mercenary association is naturally heard by both people, but they don't care. Because the three mercenary guilds are all separated, no matter how much Rhodes tossed that acre of land, he couldn't toss up his own head, and to be honest, they were also opposed to those views, but This is more for their own sake. Although Rhodes was named as a jazz by Lydia, although it is a special case, there are two so-called one. Both Cole Eagle and Purple Lily are also loyal to the Wang Dang. In the process of calming the rebellion, their men The mercenaries also provided a lot of intelligence and useful information to the Wang Dang. Since there was a precedent for Rhodes being titled knight by Lydia, then they might have the same glory. So of course the two will not be stupid enough to support those opposition voices. After all, no one will disapprove of their power too much. In case they support the mercenary association to abolish Rhodes' mercenary status, then it does not mean that they will encounter themselves Will it be unlucky in such a situation?

But ... "Battelle, do you really remember the previous bet?"

Looking at his friend's calm face, Victor finally could not help but ask, he looked up and down with a playful look, trying to see if he had deliberately calmed down. Hearing Victor's inquiries, Butler gave a stun, then touched his head suspiciously.

"Of course, does not mean that after he wins, we will give him a business channel within our sphere of influence. This is not a big deal. Anything to say?"

"……………………Aha……………"

Upon hearing Buter's answer, Victor exhaled helplessly, then he reached out and patted Butler's shoulder.

"Old friend, please ask for more blessings. It seems that your surname is really not as good as it is one day. I think you should find a successor for Zi Li as early as possible, don't die here."

"how?"

Facing Victor's answer, Bartel stared at him in a fog, but Victor didn't explain much. He just patted Bartel's shoulder with a smile, then pointed to the packet in his hand.

"I think you will understand after reading this, hahaha, Battle, you just said something? As long as you say it, it will be done. Then ... I'll take a step and wait for the show. "

"………………what the hell?"

Bartle watched Victor's departure doubtfully, muttering in a low voice, then he lowered his head and opened the packet in his hand.

"what……………………………………………………!!"

A roar like a bear burst out suddenly, and the frightened mercenary association hall suddenly became quiet for a while, and many people turned in horror to look at the tall man standing in the corner of the hall. But he didn't care about the mercurial eyes of the mercenaries. He just looked at the small bag in his face, clenched his teeth, and yelled in a low voice.

"That little king **** ----- !!!"

Rhodes didn't hear Bartle's roar from the bottom of his heart, and even if he heard him, he just laughed and stopped paying attention. This is also the reason Bart has been asking for hardship, who is weird to come ......... As early as the end of the Midsummer Festival, Rhodes had decided to let this guy suffer. For this reason he can be described as painstaking, hoping that Bartle will like his gift-Rhodes is very much looking forward to this moment.

But now Rhode didn't care about it, he just leaned lazily by the window of the guest room and looked at the white world outside. The first snow in the early winter drifted down. The warm atmosphere brought by the burning of the fireplace in the house and the cold outside responded, forming a light white mist on the glass.

Looking at the snow outside, Rhode could not help thinking of the conversation between him and the director.

The association's grown-up seemed to have become much more embarrassed than during the Midsummer Festival. In his conversation with Rhodes, it was not as expected by Rhodes, and President Thorne showed a certain degree of worry and anxiety about his current identity. Uneasy, and according to him, there is actually such a wave within the mercenary association. But now, after all, the situation is different. If you change the usual, mercenaries will naturally belong to the mercenary association. But now, because he has not fulfilled his duty to control his mercenaries, he was constrained by Archduke Lydia in turn. It can even be said that from today onwards, the Mercenary Association within the Principality of Muen is completely composed of three servants. The Brigadier Generals have the final say, and the Mercenary Association is really nothing more than an errand.

Rhodes has no interest in the future of the Mercenary Association. After the conversation, he also made clear that he would not give up the status of mercenary, nor would he give up the mercenary association, because this kind of thing has no precedent and does not meet the specifications. . However, Rhodes gave the association a way to survive. In exchange for maintaining his status, Rhodes stated that he would not intervene to manage the mercenary regiments in the south this time, and gave all this sphere of influence to Purple Lily and Branch. Seoul Eagle. Because Rhodes is also very aware of the views of the mercenaries in the south, he is unwilling to manage a group of guys who hate himself. Although this kind of power expansion is a good thing for ordinary mercenary guilds, but for Rhodes He said that this level could no longer meet his needs. It's not bad to ask for surnames to sell them.

Of course, Tohn had no reason to oppose Rhode's proposal. Of course, he knew that the young man was now in transit in the Principality of Munn. Although he said that he was the president of the mercenary association, even without these troubles It was hard for him to lift his head in front of him. Originally, he was worried that Rhodes would ask the Lions to open up a large share of the mercenary forces in the South. Now that Rhodes is so uninteresting, he is naturally in a good mood and naturally agrees with Rhodes' requirements. And, with that, presumably the mercenaries could not find any excuse to oppose Rhodes.

It's so boring.

Thinking of this, Rhodes shook his head and left all those irritable things behind. The news from Qilian said that Skynet's plan was not going as smoothly as previously thought, although he asked Mess for help, However, after all, Metz is just a businessman with a local surname, and has not yet developed into a huge chamber of commerce, but this is also good. Although it is a bit hard, it can make people feel relieved ... ... will not immediately cause others to doubt.

But ... At present, Rhodes is most concerned about another thing.

Rhode reached out his hand, and soon, a white card appeared in his palm.
