People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhode's face was filled with regret. "Who is pretending to be me? A mercenary group? Or a tribe?"

Although the tribes in the desert do not believe in the Red King, the desert people have always been free in their beliefs.

It is not impossible that some tribes borrowed their own names to strengthen their power.

Dixia's answer also confirmed that his guess was correct.

Just a little bit.

"I can't believe it."

"The ones pretending to be you are several tribes that are only slightly smaller than the Tanit tribe. Not just one, but several!"

Next.

Dixia told the stunned Rhodes the whole process of investigating the incident.

The Tanit tribe is not the only powerful tribe in the Thousand Valleys Desert.

There are still a few tribes that are smaller than its power.

However, the Tanit tribe has many branches and many evil spirit weapons as trump cards. If a conflict comes, the best outcome will be mutual destruction, which is not cost-effective.

Therefore, these large tribes that are close to the Tanit tribe in strength all tacitly chose to find other suitable settlements and try not to conflict with the Tanit tribe.

Such a situation.

It was not until the Tanit tribe was destroyed that the balance between the various forces in the Thousand Valleys Desert was broken again.

As a result, those large tribes that had once been able to barely coexist peacefully began to stir.

The undercurrent is surging.

The news that the Red King's messenger ordered the extermination of a small tribe triggered a situation in which the large tribe began to expand wildly.

Followed by.

Those large tribes that had the ability to expand their power all released the news that the Red King's messenger was in their homes, and knelt down at lightning speed, announcing that their tribes had now submitted to the Red King's faith. Using Rhodes' name, they levied heavy taxes in the desert, massacred and exterminated tribes everywhere. While those small tribes that were affected were exterminated, the large tribes also suffered losses in the wars. Many large tribes were defeated in the intrigues and wars, and were exterminated and assimilated by other large tribes.

Wait until Dixia traces the source.

Of the several major tribes that had previously fought against each other, only three remained.

A long battle.

The three tribes found it difficult to maintain the scale of the war before, so they could only sign letters of non-war to each other, thus achieving temporary peace for a while.

Dixia knew that with his men, it would be no problem to defeat one tribe, but it would be difficult to compete with three tribes.

If she tried to break them down one by one, she was worried that she would alert the enemy.

So she chose to contact Tadella for help.

Speaking of which.

Rhodes interrupted and asked, "How is Tadella?"

Before, he wasn't too worried about Tadella's progress.

But now, when he heard Dixia talking about the chaos in the desert, he became a little worried that Tadella and the others might not be able to cope with it.

"They."

"They're fine over there."

"At least when I contacted them, they were in better condition than us."

Rhodes felt relieved by what Dixia said.

"Tsk."

"If everything goes well, why don't you come back?"

Rhodes muttered to himself.

Compared to the mercenaries, who are a group of crazy believers.

It stands to reason.

The tribal people are the type that are easier to recruit.

It all depends on Rhodes himself who has nothing better to do than go around and recruit people. Now he has managed to recruit more than a dozen tribes to participate in the construction of Hope City.

But it's been three or four months since Tadella left. Why doesn't she show any intention of coming back?

"Because of your reputation"

Dixia glanced at Rhodes with a strange expression.

"Uh!?"

Rhodes looked stunned.

"Your reputation in the deep desert is much worse than it is here."

"Do you know what those tribes are doing when they borrow your fame?"

"Destroying an entire family is a light punishment."

"The living are also being humiliated, and..."

At this point, Dixia paused, hesitated for a while before speaking: "They will also make those who were slaughtered into rations for the army."

"!!!"

Rhodes stopped suddenly, his head buzzed, and everything in front of him went dark. Dixia tried to help him sort it out for a long time but failed to make him calm down.

"brute!"

Rhode, who finally recovered, gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Where are they? Are there any survivors? Take me to find them!"

Now he finally understood why the small tribes on the edge of the new oasis seemed to have a stress response when they heard his name.

After spending a lot of time, I found the problem here.

Those bastards who pretended to be me, not only killed people, they also ate people!!!

It would be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I dig up the graves of my ancestors of this beastly tribe.

"Gone."

Dixia continued to pat Rhode's chest to help him breathe, and sighed, "Don't you know what kind of personality Tadella has?"

"That girl worships you like crazy."

"If she knew someone was impersonating you and ruining your reputation, what would she do?"

Dixia had an indescribable expression on her face, as if she had remembered something bad.

"."

Rhode's face, which had been furious just now, calmed down a lot. He asked with a slight smile, "Did she do it?"

"Not only that, all falcons are the same."

As she spoke, a hint of fear appeared on Dixia's face.

She really didn't expect it.

Those children who look quiet and gentle on weekdays can actually be so crazy when they kill people.

Rhodes had said before that falcons were killing machines trained by the Tanit tribe, but she didn't quite believe the truth of that just from the appearance.

But when they saw Tadla leading the way, each man slashing with a knife, wherever he passed, blood flowed like a river, not even a complete corpse was left, and the other falcons were equally brutal.

Even Dixia, a mercenary who had been fighting in the desert for more than 20 years, couldn't help but feel frightened.

The Blazing Hunt Beast and Achmar's Whisker, together with the mercenaries she recruited, all drooled and dared not look at the murderous falcons.

that's it.

There was no need for Dixia and the others to take action. The falcons, who were already on the killing spree, seemed like tireless killing machines. It took them a whole day to completely slaughter the remaining two tribes that pretended to be Rhodes.

"After that, we separated."

Dixia sighed again and continued, "Tadla said they will continue to investigate and hunt down anyone who dares to slander your reputation until the entire desert is completely clean."

“Oh my—”

Rod's head started to hurt again.

He would never think of it even if you kill him.

This Tadella actually took people to do this. No wonder she didn't contact me or come back for so long.

No wonder Dixia said that all those who pretended to be her were fed to the red eagles. They are dead and cannot die any more. They are not fed to the red eagles.

"I'll ask Nashida to contact her. We need to call her back immediately. We can't let her continue killing people like this."

Things have come to this.

Rhodes naturally could not allow the falcons to continue killing in the desert.

He said.

I will never let Tadella and the others return to their previous lives.

Now this kind of killing.

Once you get on top of it.

They may not be able to turn around.

This matter is urgent.

Rhodes didn't care about anything else. He took Dishia directly to the source of the world and put his hand on the tree trunk.

Nashida did not stay in Hope City forever.

Long after resolving the conflict between the tribesmen and the followers of the Red King, she returned to Xumi City to preside over government affairs.

before leaving.

She left her Heart of God in the Source of the World. Rhodes could use the Heart of God to communicate with her in real time regardless of distance. If he encountered danger that was difficult to resolve, he could also mobilize the power of Hermanubis and barely use some of the power in the Heart of God to protect himself.

soon.

Rhodes explained the whole story and asked Nashida to quickly recall Tadella and the falcons back to Hope City.

He now urgently needs to let the falcons return to normal life and wash away the murderous aura in their bodies.

After communicating with Nashida.

Rhodes let out a long sigh, turned around and walked towards Dishia who was squatting on the side.

She was seen poking the Patisaran in front of her with a curious look on her face, but no matter how she poked, the Patisaran could twist around her fingers.

This aroused Dixia's interest, and her hands moved faster and faster, even leaving afterimages.

However, she still couldn't touch the branches at all.

"what?"

“This flower is so strange, isn’t it?”

Seeing Rhodes coming, Dixia stood up and touched her chin and said, "Where did you get the purple Patisaran? Nilu has told me many times before that this kind of Patisaran has long been extinct. Where did you get one? I'll get one too and send it to Nilu."

"Well"

Rod didn't know how to explain this.

I can't tell Dixia that there is a god here.

"Huh? Wait, can't you see what's going on inside this flower bud?"

Rhodes, who was thinking about how to explain, suddenly discovered a blind spot.

Judging from what Dixia said just now.

She seemed to be able to see only the purple Patisalan, and could not see the king of the great mercy trees in the half-opened bud.

"Ok?"

"Is there something here?"

Dixia blinked and confirmed Rhodes's feeling with her answer.

“I really can’t see it”
