Summoning the Holy Sword

"Looks like I'm too late?"

Riding on a tall warhorse, Bartle stretched out his hand and touched his chin. He smiled and smiled at Rhodes, who was sitting on the ground not far from him, but in the face of his inquiries, Rhodes just turned upset. No eyes, nothing to say. He can certainly understand the depression in the eyes of Butler, but now he is lazy to care about this guy full of muscles in the brain. Now Rhodes is really tired enough to stand up, naturally he has no mood to care about this guy in Butler --- I have to say that the timing of Battle was really good enough, Rhodes only killed the Necromancer. But after five or six minutes, this guy carried his rock-cut sword and ran all the way.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I also know that rescuers always come on stage after the protagonist finishes the boss."

Rod gave Bartle a cold glance, and then groaned. But when he heard this sentence, Bartle froze slightly, but he didn't understand it, but he didn't have time to figure out what Rhoded meant, because at this time Paris had already come to Bartle. , Began to whisper to him to report this situation.

Looking at Paris, who was concentrating on the report and coming down from the horse, with a serious look at Bartle, Rhode could not help thinking of Marin far away from the Atonement, and did not know what the young lady was doing now ... What is the situation of the fortresses in this place? Although it is reasonable to say that there are canaries to help, there should be no major problems, but Rhodes is still worried.

"Head, what are you thinking?"

At this time, Anne also came to Rhodes and sat on the ground with her buttocks. Then she raised her hands high and stretched her waist. Then she turned her head and looked at Rhodes curiously. Asked.

"You don't need to know, the owner must be thinking of a woman, but he doesn't know which one he is thinking."

Until this time, Qilian also came over from the other side leisurely, and Grandi and Natasha had already handed it over to Butler, anyway, their commission was just to send them to the Purple Lily Guild. Now the Purple Lily Guild The chairman himself is here, and naturally they don't need to do anything else. Then Rhodes and others can get rid of the trouble and concentrate on doing their own copy task.

"Hey?"

But hearing Qilian's words, Annie opened her eyes a little curiously.

"Annie is also a woman, but there are two women around the head, why should you think about women?"

"Eating the bowl, thinking of the pot, men are like this."

In the face of Annie's inquiry, Qilian shook her tail proudly, then raised a finger, revealing a hint of playful smile. In the face of her movement, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders, and did not take the initiative to confront him. He knew very well that speaking at this time would only ignite [***], so he simply kept silent and did not hear anything.

But at this time, Bartel, Paris, and others came to Rhodes and heard Qi Lian's words, but Bartle laughed.

"Miss Qilian is right, but I think a man would rather be starved than starved to death. Look at the small body of your head. Hey, if you do n’t eat more, I'm afraid he can't hold it. Speaking of this, Bartle touched his chin again, and smiled proudly at Rhodes, but in the face of this muscular man's provocation, Rhodes only glared at him coldly, then stood up and decisively This low-level quarrel strangled in its infancy. Seeing his expression, Bartel also converged the smile on his face and began to take a serious look.

"After the incident, I have heard Paris and the two little ghosts, I heard that you really killed a group of undead legions? This is a great achievement, but um ... Heh heh, I watch the guard Bian is in big trouble this time. Letting a Necromancer fool around here, hey, I don't think there is any future for those bastards. "

Obviously it was something on his own site, but Bartel's expression was very relaxed, but this was also normal. Although the mercenary associations are responsible for managing and restraining the mercenary groups on their sites and dealing with some troubles, the relationship between almost every mercenary association and the official is not very good. Of course, this relationship is not bad because of the hostility between the two sides. After all, in a large aspect, the lords still hope to maintain their own territory and peace, so there is no prejudice against the mercenary guild.

But specific to the lower level, then it is very troublesome. No matter where they are, the relationship between mercenary guilds and local guards is not good. It is no wonder that the Mercenary Guild is a non-governmental organization. Their primary task is to deal with non-governmental commissions and troubles. However, the garrison is an official organization. Although it is their job to maintain law and order in the territories, for the garrison, their top priority is to prevent turmoil in the territories and ensure stability and peace at a large level, as well as to protect noble nobles. Life with officials.

Because of this, the garrison is not comparable to the reputation of the mercenary guild among the people. Although the senior officials who the garrison protects with great efforts will have a great impact on the people if they are harmed, these effects and The change is too high, and most people don't feel it. Therefore, they naturally complained about the defensive forces that only protect the high-level people, but put the people behind. For the people, they prefer the benefits that can help themselves to deal with the raging Warcraft in the field. Therefore, the mercenary guild is very popular among the people, but the defensive forces exist most of the time as villains. Because of this, conflicts between the local defense forces and the mercenary guilds occur from time to time. Of course, regardless of the features above, a comprehensive war is definitely impossible. But it's not uncommon to find excuses for wearing small shoes and making fun of them.

Because of this, the relationship between the mercenary guild and the local defense forces is not good, not to mention the task of the mercenary guild is only to maintain the local mercenary group, not to protect the peace and stability of the entire region. So for Battle, even if a necrotic creature that lurks in this area really has nothing to do with his guild. On the contrary, those unlucky garrison troops must be punished for it, not to mention the generals who betrayed the Principality of Munn.

"That's the problem you need to deal with."

Rod was obviously not interested in that.

"What are you going to do next?"

"This doesn't need you to worry, Rhodes."

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Butler waved a smile.

"My subordinates arrived soon after that. At that time, I will send the two little ghosts and you to the Eagle City together, by the way ...... I heard that you are planning to go to the ruins of Custer Plateau?"

Having said that, Bartle paused, then looked at Rhodes thoughtfully.

"Why, can't you sit still so fast? How about your subordinates? Why did Miss Marlene and several others not see the shadow, it is impossible for the three of you to go to the Custer Plateau ruins, hey, I didn't say Little Rhodes. The place is really not so confusing. Our Purple Lily hasn't been there before, but it almost won't come back. I advise you to be careful. "

"You don't have to worry about that, Lord Butler."

At this moment, Qilian smiled and took over the conversation.

"This time we are just going to explore the road first, we do not intend to go too far, so you do not need to be too worried."

"I don't intend to take care of your affairs, Miss Qilian."

After hearing Qilian's answer, Battle Haha laughed and waved his hands, but soon, he converged again with a serious expression on his face.

"But since you are going to the Eagle City, I would like to remind you here first. The nearest Eagle City is not very peaceful. No, it should be said that this place is not very peaceful recently, so you have to be careful, Of course, everyone is a colleague, and I will give you something convenient, but be careful not to be caught by those guys, otherwise the trouble will be much greater. "

"The guys?"

Hearing this, Rhodes frowned slightly, and he could hear that there was some fear in Butler's tone, which is not common. You should know that this place can be regarded as the site of a half-lily guild. He is not the kind of man with a delicate mind—if Victor changed, it would be normal to be so cautious. But for the carefree president of the Purple Lily Guild, there are very few characters who can give him a headache.

"In fact, it is not a big man."

Perhaps he noticed that his tone was weak, and Bartel resumed his original tough attitude the next moment, but then he turned to Rhodes with some dissatisfaction.

"That's what a group of Yankees did. Speaking of which, it has something to do with you."

"And me?"

Hearing this, Rhodes is even more confused than Monk, but Bartle apparently has no intention of selling offense, and he continues to talk quickly.

"You should know, thanks to your guild, the idiots of Wings of Liberty have been completely dissolved."

"Of course I know that."

In the face of Bartel's inquiry, Rhodes only nodded. The wings of freedom were really bad this time. Although the final investigation confirmed that most of the mercenaries did not have a direct connection with the devil, according to the laws of the Principality of Munn, they were finally free The wings are still forced to dissolve. Not only that, as a country governed by angels, the punishment for anything related to the devil is very severe, not to mention that this time the wings of freedom have hit Lidia. At the muzzle, the grandfather made a decisive swipe and implemented a sitting system. He asked all mercenary regiments in the southern harbour area to investigate to ensure that there would be no more evil in the devil. Because of this, these two years There is no need to choose a new mercenary guild-they must first conduct a self-examination and then be inspected by the War Angel Legion until the innocence of all mercenary regiments in the southern seaport is confirmed.

This is not a simple task. There are more than twenty mercenary regiments in the southern seaport. Each of them must undergo self-examination, and then undergo the review of the War Angel Legion. In addition, the establishment of new regions in the region for two consecutive years is not allowed. Mercenary Guild, it is clear that Lydia is taking this opportunity to wash away the hearts and forces condensed by the wings of freedom. Although the leaders such as Rosen and Waltz have died, the wings of freedom are still there. As they continue to develop, it won't be long before a new wing of freedom will be resurrected. But now, with such a good excuse to fight against the devil, Lydia stuck this stubbornly, and also broke off one arm of the reformist, which also made the reformist bitter. The card is not even popular among the civilians under the continent of light. They can no longer be black and white and can't hold their noses and say to the people, "In fact, the devil is not as harmful as you think ..." Dead.

But without the mercenary guild, they lost the last helper to incite the people. As mentioned earlier, the representatives of the reformists are mostly emerging nobles and businessmen. No matter what era or country, class conflicts are indispensable. If the well-dressed businessmen and aristocrats stood up to incite the people, the people would certainly not agree. But it would be easy if mercenaries of the same origin were brought in. But now, this road has been blocked by Lidia, and coupled with the death of Rosen, it is not so easy for the reformers to set off any storms.

But now listening to Battle, these guys are a little bit revived?

"His Highness Lydia is doing a good job. The group of reform dogs is finished now, but it seems that you don't know yet. This group of guys are tangled up again to form a free liberation mercenary alliance ......... Hey, On the surface, it is an extraordinary period. The major mercenary regiments in the southern seaport should work together to form such an alliance, but all of them are the mentally handicapped of the idiots' wings of freedom! "

Speaking of which, Bartle slammed a punch in the air.

"It was a mistake that you didn't kill those guys!"

"Then what? The Liberty Mercenary League shouldn't be stupid enough to run to your place to make trouble."

Hearing Bartel's words, Rhodes finally understood what the Free Mercenary Alliance is. It seems that the group of wings of Liberty really should not have the last name. In order to consolidate their strength, they formed such an alliance. This should have nothing to do with the North.

"Trouble? They don't have the courage."

At the inquiry from Rhodes, Bartle snorted coldly, but then frowned.

"But this group of guys came to us to pull people!"

"Pulling?"

Hearing this from Bartle's mouth, Rhodes was really surprised. Butle glanced at him, poked his lips, and continued.

"Look at your expression, Little Rhodes, do you think this is just a substitute for the wings of freedom, hey, this is really not the case. According to those idiots, this free mercenary alliance is unlimited in area and number, As long as you want to join the mercenary regiment, you can sign up for it! And also promise that every mercenary regiment joining the alliance will get a lot of money! "

Hearing here, Rhodes' face also changed slightly. He immediately understood the problem, but Annie didn't seem to understand it. She looked at Rhodes, and looked at the gnarled Battle, then asked.

"But, didn't Grandpa Lydia say that the mercenary regiments are likely to have a relationship with the devil? Then there are people who dare to be with them? Are they not afraid of something?"

"Hey, things are not as simple as you think, Annie."

Butler reached out and patted Annie's head. And Rhode nodded slightly. Indeed, on the surface, Annie was right. Although the Free Mercenary Liberation Alliance was ostensibly free of geographical restrictions, it looked at the alliance at the beginning. What kind of goods it is, everyone knows what this Liberation League is. But even then? There are many people, and the mercenary regiments are the same. It was just like during the "Undead Mission Incident" in the Pafield area, the major mercenary regiments suffered heavy losses and needed time to recuperate. But it is a running dog who is dragging on to make everyone die rather than make emerald tears. Anyway, even if the mercenary regiments have no trouble, there is no future, it is better to sell their self-esteem and change the benefits. Not to mention the fact that the law does not blame the public, even if it was a timid mercenary regiment, the courage naturally became fat when it saw such a companion.

"I have greeted the mercenary regiments below, but I ca n’t control things like joining the league. But be careful, little Rhodes. I heard that the number one goal of the Free Alliance is you, although Those guys can't bother me on my site, but be careful, if they know you've come to my site, they might be on your side. "

"I understand."

Hearing here, Rhode nodded, and he understood what Butler wanted to say. Obviously, this free mercenary liberation alliance has extended to the lower eyelids of the Purple Lily Guild, and it is likely that it has absorbed some mercenary regiments that can do nothing for money as a help. If at this time, let them know that they have arrived in the city of the eagle, then they are likely to trouble those mercenary groups to find themselves. Once the two sides conflict, Rhodes ’identity as the guild president of the Pafield area is already sensitive, and it is naturally impossible for Bartle to ignore the mercenary conflicts within his jurisdiction as the president of the Purple Lily Guild. At that time, the group of people will provoke in the dark, it will not be difficult to cause the Purple Lily Guild to confront the starlight and even hostile consciousness, but for them, there is no loss.

Thinking of this, Rhode glanced at Battle, it seems that this guy is not as mindless as the player said, and he will say to himself in private that this is obviously already a worry. After all, Starlight is not like Cole's Eagle and Purple Lily. After so many years of cooperation, everyone is familiar with each other. It is not easy for you to stir up conflicts between them. But Starlight has just been born. Everyone is unfamiliar. Unfamiliarity can easily cause doubts and doubts, not to mention that once the other party is too strong in their own territory, it will not be uncomfortable. Putting it another way, if Bartel ran to Rhodes's place and had a mercenary regiment, Rhodes would certainly not be comfortable in his heart.

Thinking of this, Rhodes' face was also more serious.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Battle, we will try to avoid this situation ......... at least, not to embarrass you."

"That's fine, Rhodes."

After hearing Rhode's answer, Bartel nodded with satisfaction, and then he grinned and laughed, reached out his hand, and patted Rhodes' shoulder again.

"Come on, little Rhodes, don't forget our bet! I can wait to see the day you wear women's clothing!"

"You won't have that chance."

If others say this, then Rhodes may have turned his face, but in the face of this guy, Rhodes can only respond indifferently now. Anyway, he also knows that Bartel is the last name, and he ca n’t change it. But ......... Hey, he is not so bullied. When he wins the bet, at that time, he needs to educate Bartle to let this guy know what can be said and what can't be said.

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared in the corner of Rhodes's mouth.
