Summoning the Holy Sword

After learning from His Highness Lydia's order from Gaya, Rhodes didn't take long to make a decision. Then, he quickly summoned his subordinates together, and after hearing Rhode's words, the crowd reacted differently.

"Hey? Going on the road again? Annie is so tired ......... Head, can you take a few days off before you leave?"

The guy who tossed and rolled on the side bench and threw it aside for the time being.

Unlike Anne, a lazy-looking girl, Marfa was leaning quietly against the wall, frowning and musing. As one of Rhodes' subordinates, although Marfa joined Rhodes relatively late, Rhodes treated him But he is quite trusting. After all, what he lacks is such a calm and calm person. The existence of Marfa fills this gap. He is brave and courageous, but quiet, but also dares to express his own opinions and opinions. It is essential. Although Lando and Joey have made rapid progress, being young and vigorous is not a good thing after all.

Qilian didn't speak, but just shook the big tail with a meaningful look at Rhodes. Since the Lord of the Elements of Fire knew Rhodes had been called by Gaya, she has always had this expression. Rhodes is no stranger. As for Li Jie, the girl has been cautious and prudent since she replaced Marlene to accept the post of lieutenant. At this moment she just stood quietly next to Rhodes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"grown ups."

After thinking about it for a while, Mapha then asked and considered.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask where are we going this time? How long will it take?"

Unexpectedly, in the face of Marfa's inquiry, Rhodes just waved his hand.

"Ah, you do n’t have to dispatch this time. I just tell you that there is such a thing and I want you to be mentally prepared. This time I want to leave alone to complete this task. I think you are also very clear that this is the royal family directly The order given is for convenience and safety, so I plan to complete it alone. During this time, you are still stationed at the top of the cloud and mist, and cooperate with the defensive forces here to defend, but do not underestimate the enemy ’s intentions, foreseeable, the future The Southern Army ’s offensive in Jiuzi will be more fierce, so you have to be careful. "

"Hey? Chief, where are you going?"

Hearing Rhode's words, Annie, who was rolling on the bench just now, jumped up and jumped up, two big eyes staring at Rhodes with bright light.

"Will Annie go with me, too? Head? Take Annie, and Annie promises not to bother the head!"

"Not this time, Annie."

Rhodes waved his hand and simply rejected Annie's offer.

"I need your help here, and there is nothing good about you following me. Obediently, do your job here, protect those spiritualists, and don't let them be threatened and hurt in battle. This is a very important task, and only you can accomplish it ... understand? Annie? "

"okay………"

After hearing Rhode's answer, Annie was reluctant, but when she heard Rhode's speech later, a pride and proud smile appeared again on the girl's face. She pursed her lips and considered it, but in the end Nodded. Seeing Annie's expression, Rhodes kept shaking his head and sighing. Even after so many battles, Anne was still a fifteen-year-old child after all. Regardless of her height and physical development, Anne was still a small child. To deal with this kind of child, using sincerity is totally useless.

but………

Thinking of this, Rhode glanced at him.

In a sense, there is a more childish guy here than Annie.

Next is the point.

Rhodes clapped his hands, signalling everyone to look at him. Since receiving the mission from Gaya, Rhodes has been thinking about how to take advantage of this. For him, this is a very good opportunity, but It may not be a good thing for someone.

"Okay, I've told you everything I can tell you ...... By the way, during the time I left, Li Jie was in charge of the overall situation. You can report to her and ask for anything. What's wrong? "

Hearing Rhode's words, everyone around them didn't care much about their heads violently, including Marfa, everyone looked at Rhode in surprise. As for Li Jie, the girl at this moment was already The blood on his face faded, his eyes wide as if a blank sheet of paper, and he couldn't believe looking at Rhodes.

When Rhodes said that he was leaving alone, everyone was just a little surprised, but he didn't care. After all, Rhodes is not here, and Qi Lian is here. The ingenuity of Fox Ear Girl and her great strength are also well known. Coupled with the close relationship between her and Rhodes, most people thought that Rhodes would choose to let Qilian take charge of the acting post.

Who knows, he actually chose Lijie? !!

This is not to say that the mercenaries hate Li Jie or do not trust her. In fact, as the leader of the spiritual team, Li Jie is very popular among the mercenaries, not to mention that most of the mercenaries in the Starlight Guild have experienced it. It is naturally impossible for the spiritual master to speak against Li Jie. Not to mention that the girl's own last name is also gentle and gentle, very popular. But this and the command in the battle are another matter. Li Jiesheng's surname is low-key and does not like publicity. Because of this, most mercenaries subconsciously feel that she does not have the leadership and command capabilities as Marin. Because of this, when they heard that Rhodes actually chose Li Jie as his agent, the surprised expression on the mercenaries was obvious.

But the most surprising thing is that Li Jie herself, she stood there blankly, looking pale, motionless like a puppet. It looks as if Rhodes announced that she was not acting as her agent, but that she was going to die ... "I know you have a lot of thoughts, but I think Li Jie has this ability, and I don't just nonsense here Eight. So I ask you to obey Li Jie's order, her order is my order, even if it is stupid, she said, then you have to do it. I will arrange Qi Lian to be responsible for supervision --- I hope you don't yell at my words, otherwise ... I don't mind punishing with the rules of the guild. "

Having said that, Rhode glanced around the crowd, and felt his cold eyes, and the crowd could not help but hesitated, then nodded quickly and agreed. Although many of them still have doubts and concerns in their hearts, since Rhodes has already thrown them here, they have no reason to refuse. Not to mention Qi Lian will still be on the sidelines. If one is not good enough, God knows what measures will be taken to deal with himself when Rhodes returns.

With all kinds of thoughts, the people dispersed, and looking at their departure, Li Jie suddenly felt an unprecedented fear and loneliness. She saw Mafa turning away with a thoughtful look, and even Ping Yue, who always had a hippie smile, never saw the jokingly relaxed expression again, but did not know what she was thinking. Converged his smile. As for Lando, he just glanced at himself and said nothing, but Li Jie understood that he didn't need to say anything more.

Everyone has changed a lot.

It was not until this time that Li Jie realized this. In her memory, the scene when Joey and Lando and Rabes arrived in the mercenary group was still vivid, it was as if it was yesterday. The same thing happened, she never thought that the young thief who was always joking and joking in Ping Yue would have such a serious side. The Ranger, who had been trying hard to protect Rabes at the beginning, is now so calm and sophisticated.

And yourself?

Li Jie always thought that such a life would continue, and she also thought that she would never change, as long as she stood quietly behind other people to support them and guard them. But now ... is it really enough?

At this moment, a new agitation finally germinated in the girl's heart.

The night was getting darker.

After the night fell, the fortress on the top of the cloud quickly restored its calmness. After a day of noise, the reinforcements who arrived at the fortress finally calmed down. Garcia is also able to arrange these troops as far as possible within the scope of the fortress's guard-after all, their enemies are not just the Southern Army here. However, Rhodes is not worried. With the presence of Gaya, even if the water element plane really coincides to that extent, she can break this level of connection by moving her finger, and she doesn't need to worry about it at all. As for his subordinates, Rhode had greeted Joey and others in advance, so that they could avoid the thick fog and stay as far away as possible from the central area of ​​the thick fog. These guys are not idiots who can't understand people, so naturally they won't make Rod worry.

only……………

"Well."

Just then, the knock on the door sounded.

"come in."

Rhodes stood in front of the window, looking at the dark night and the thin mist outside, and said without looking back, without looking back, he also knew that there was only one person visiting him at this time.

Sure enough, the door slowly opened, and then Li Jie entered the room. The girl's face had a clear expression of pain and embarrassment. She clasped her hands tightly and drew in front of her. Seeing Rhodes standing in front of the window, Li Jie was hesitant, but she went into the room and looked at each other's back. At this moment Li Jie's heart is very messy. She has a lot of things to say, but she doesn't know what to say. On the one hand, Li Jie instinctively resists Rhode's task to herself. Like everyone else, she thinks Qilian is more suitable for this position than herself. Qi love is smarter than himself, understands Rod's idea, and is more supported by mercenaries, isn't he? And yourself? Although Li Jie herself really hopes to be able to change, especially after she noticed the growth of the latecomers like Joey and Lando, Li Jie also vaguely wanted to change her mind. But that's not the risk of betting on someone else's life! !! If one's judgment is not correct, then it is likely that many people will lose their lives. And these people are her companions, friends, and subordinates ... Can she take this risk? Just to grow and accumulate experience, make mistakes and let your friends die?

"Ra, Mr Rhode ..."

Hesitating again and again, Li Jie still courageously spoke, but her voice was so small, trembling like a candle flickering in the cold wind.

"I, I think, I don't think I am suitable for this position ......... I don't have such ability, I think, Miss Qilian is a better choice ..."

After saying this, Li Jie breathed a long sigh of relief. Although there was still a bit of uncomfortable and unwilling in her heart, but now, that's all right ......... The girl comforted herself so much. Just then, she heard Rhode's inquiry.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Hey?"

After hearing this sentence, Li Jie's whole person seemed to be stared at by the petrified sight of Medusa. The whole person was stiff, and she stood there idly, looking at the man in front of her slowly turning. Come over.

"Afraid of letting others die because of your mistake? So you would rather run away? Then, if Qi Lian's mistake in command causes your friends and subordinates to die in battle, would you hate her? Would you put As a victim, do you hate her when you stand at the top of the cake? If it wasn't for her command mistake, you would not lose your friends and companions. In this way, it is not your fault. Because you are only responsible for executing the order , And it's not you who gave the order, so you don't need to take responsibility, do you? "

"me……………"

Every word of Rhodes seemed to hit Li Jie's heart with a heavy hammer. At this moment, she was trembling, she didn't know what to say.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of losing your companion, or are you afraid of being resentful? You made the wrong choice because of your stupidity, so they sacrifice their last name for free. You do n’t want to bear the consequences And responsibility, so you chose to escape, right? "

As Rhode said, he slowly walked towards Li Jie. Looking at Rhode's approaching figure, Li Jie stepped back instinctively, until a cold touch came from behind her, and then she realized that she had unknowingly leaned against the wall, and at this time, Rhode had already come to Li Jie's face, and reached out and pressed her beside her. At this time Li Jie felt an unprecedented tension and fear for the first time, as if it wasn't humans in front of her, but beasts.

"You know I won't change my decision, so what exactly are you trying to do here? Lijie?"

"me………………"

Li Jie felt that she had never been so nervous before, her brain was blank, and she had no idea what would happen next.

"You just want me to give you encouragement, right? But how do you want me to give you encouragement?"

Speaking of which, Rhodes stretched out his right hand, stroking Li Jie's cheek gently, and felt Rhodes's stroke, Li Jie's body suddenly tightened.

"It's late now, Li Jie, you are a woman, I am a man. It's so late that you run to my room alone, I hope I can encourage you and comfort you ... you know what it means ?"

"No ... Roh ... Mr Rhode ... I ..."

Before Li Jie's words were finished, Rhode's left hand bypassed her slender waist like a dexterous snake, and then turned into a hard iron gate, holding her in her arms. In the face of this sudden scene, Li Jie had no way to respond. She just stared at Rhode blankly, her brain was completely confused, and she didn't know what to do. And Rhodes's mouth slightly tilted, looking at Li Jie with a strange smile.

Without Christie, Mr. Rhodes smiled fine.

I don't know why, Li Jie's mind suddenly flashed the thought that could not be related to the current situation, but before she could continue to think, Rhode lowered her head and blocked her lips roughly.

"Woo ............... !!!"

Rhodes felt the softness of the girl in her arms, and her warm body shuddered. He stuck out her tongue, forcibly opened the girl's teeth, went deeper, and teased her. Li Jie's faint scent of the girl's body smelt, and the slender body could not shake, Rhodes could even feel the girl's smooth and soft skin and warm body temperature through the fabric. His left hand hugged Li Jie swiftly, and his right hand moved up quickly, quickly unbuttoning Li Jie's chest, and then went deeper into it.

"Woomm ..."

The hand was full, and a warm and silky touch came. Li Jie snorted slightly. She shook her body slightly, wondering whether she wanted to escape the escape or the instinctual resistive reaction, but Rhode didn't care at all, his right hand Li Jie was playing with her petite and lovely chest in front of her chest, and her left hand extended lightly, caressing the girl's buttocks, and then easily penetrated into the bottom of the skirt and headed towards the girl's legs.

"... Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) ...) (...)

Li Jie instinctively closed her legs, her body trembling more and more violently, the girl widened her eyes in horror, and Rhode's touch and kiss made her completely lose her thinking ability. And at the same time, Rhodes's left hand had also penetrated between the girls' legs ......... "No! -----!"

At this moment, Li Jie didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly pushed Rod away, then she took several steps back against the wall and looked at the man in shock. But for Li Jie's rejection, Rhodes didn't seem to be surprised. He just stared at his left hand, then raised his head.

"Do you hate me? Lijie?"

"No ... Mr. Rhodes ......... I don't hate you, I ..."

Li Jie tightly pressed on the cluttered clothes on her chest and hem. She didn't know why she did it, and she didn't hate Rhode doing it to herself. She could even say that she always expected something in her heart. But why is it so scary?

"Sorry ......... Sorry, I ........."

Li Jie didn't finish her words, then the girl turned around, wrapped her body around the cloak, and rushed out of the room.

And Rhodes did not prevent Li Jie from leaving. He just leaned against the wall, embracing his hands, and looked at Li Jie's back with a smile on his mouth. Later, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and cast his eyes into the shadow on the other side.

"Well, there must be a limit to peeking, Qilian?"

"Oh, I didn't expect it. I was discovered by your host."

With the brisk and playful words as always, the Fox-eared Girl stepped out of the shadows and looked at Rhodes with a sweet smile.

"I didn't expect you to let her run away. Couldn't it be that the master has lowered your skill level? Isn't this a good sign? Or maybe you can't stand it? This is a big deal. You don't need me to let Labis prepare some medicine for you ... "

"Good intentions."

Rhode interrupted Qilian's teasing. He raised his hand and stared at his finger.

"Sure enough, if the foreplay is not enough, it won't work."

"Of course, master, if you want to be hard, you will be hurt. If you leave any bad memories for the other party, then you will have a lifetime shadow?"

"But time doesn't wait for people, and sooner or later they will always eat, don't they?"

"At this time, it is very important for experienced people to guide by the side, master. Anyway, the other party is the first time after all, it is natural to be nervous and nervous. At this time, if someone can relax her by her side Then it will be much easier. "

"I also believe so."

Hearing Qilian's answer, Rhode nodded slightly, then he turned his head and looked at Qilian.

"So, Qilian, that guy's support will be entrusted to you. Don't be too explicit, even if you make occasional mistakes, it doesn't matter. Let her relax and try to accept bravely. Only when she accepts will the child be truly Maturity and growth. "

"I see, master, I will support her on the battlefield, so ... what about the bed?"

"It's the same on the bed. I hope you have a good start. Of course, after you return, if you can successfully complete the task, then ... I don't mind giving you a reward. It's okay for both to be together, just like you That said, it would be a lot easier if someone could reassure her by her side, wouldn't it? Seven loves? "

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, the fox-eared girl's eyes suddenly glowed.

"You have to talk and say what you say? Master? If I do it then and you say nothing, I won't let you go? By then I will surely squeeze you into pickles Silky, please do your enlightenment first! Then, I'll go and see Xiao Lijie now ... Please rest assured, master, I promise to complete the task! "

After saying this, Qilian immediately rushed out of the room and left in the direction of Li Jie. Looking at her back, Rhodes shook his head helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.

"I remember that foxes are not in heat for three hundred and sixty-five days a year ... forget it, anyway, I won't suffer anyway."

Having said that, Rhode turned again and looked out the window, then he stretched out his right hand and rubbed his fingers slightly.

"However, it feels really good ..."
