Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode certainly didn't care what kind of punishment and treatment the poor worm in the black jail had received. Early the next morning, Dassos hurriedly left the Atonement with the investigation team and returned to the Alchemist Association. Rhode knew, of course, that the poor old alchemist would not be so easy to persuade the alchemists' association to come out with so much material this time. But he was not worried. Anyway, the agreement between the two sides has been confirmed in the church, if the Alchemist Association wants to break the contract, then their credit on the Dragon Soul mainland will be wiped out.

Although the Alchemist Association suddenly came to the door, it was considered a disaster for Rhodes, but it also reminded Rhodes that his concern for the fortress was not enough. Especially on the issue of Labis, Rhodes felt his shortcomings deeply once again-he even began to consider to equip Labis with a deputy. This is a very important thing for Labis. The girl herself is introverted. Well, Ping Yue doesn't talk to people at all. This is not only expressed in daily life, but also in work. Rabis needs a lot of materials to make alchemy props, but the girl is always embarrassed to ask Rhodes, but rather oppresses herself to find a way. Because of this, Rabis is only the idiots of the Alchemist Association He was entangled in the argument and did something like that. If someone could assist Rabes by her side, and communicate and communicate with Rhodes when necessary, then such a thing would be very difficult to happen.

Although it is easy to say, it is very difficult to find such a person. First of all, the other party must be a candidate who has been trusted by Rhodes, and preferably a female surname. In addition, she needs good communication skills and a keen sense of being able to perceive Rabis's inner thoughts. At the same time, she must have a certain combat ability to protect Rabis in case of unexpected accidents. In the end, the most important point-Rabis must be able to accept her. It is definitely not an easy task to let the introspective Labis open up to accept and trust a person.

After listing these conditions, Rhodes found that there were no eligible members at all. At present, the Starlight Guild is still in its infancy. It is almost a radish and a pit, and no extra staff can be found at all. Canaries and little bubble gum can stay in the fortress, but they are not the kind who can calm down and spend the whole day in the alchemy. In addition, Little Bubble Gum is responsible for training the mercenaries in the fortress, and at the same time, it is necessary to teach those spiritualists about pvp combat skills. And Canary also had to fill the vacancy where Marin left to ensure the smooth operation of the fortress. Neither of them could escape. As for Anne and Li Jie, not to mention, they had to follow Rhodes to fight north and south, and could not get out of it. Qilian is very busy, but considering her surname, let alone being Rabis's deputy, I'm afraid the little fox will finally make Rabis into her puppet, which will be troublesome.

Although Christie is very close to Rabis, her health has not always been good, and Christie has no ability to protect herself and Rabis. Although Celia meets the requirements, it is a pity that she is not a core card. As a high-level summoning card, Celia consumes a lot of soul power. If you want to summon her for 24 hours of uninterrupted maintenance, as short as three or five days as in the case of Fiat, but to maintain it, it is also a great burden for Rhodes' body. The Divine Sword card is not like the creation spirit of Dan Xue, the soul power consumed is very considerable. To keep himself safe, Rhodes could not possibly consume at least one-fifth of his daily power to maintain Celia's presence outside. What's more, maintaining the power consumption of the summoning spirits has a lot to do with distance. If Rhodes went to the Golden City and left Celia here, then the power of the soul he needed to consume every day was probably not enough to maintain himself. .

Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help thinking of Marin again.

Although after returning to the fortress, Rod spent most of his time resting on the mercenary guild, but he also did not forget to pay attention to every move of the outside world. Through the information network cooperated by Old Walker and the Silent Blade, intelligence from all over the place arrives on Rod's desk continuously every day, enabling him to know the current movement of the entire continent as soon as possible.

The civil war between North and South is still not over, and the troops sent by the reformists arrived in Calumster "safely", which made the members of the reformists ecstatic. In contrast, the Northern Kings coalition forces did not have any major movements after forming a half-encircle, but sometimes several legions would join together to do siege exercises nearby --- people who do n’t know I thought they were here for military training.

But seeing this, Rhodes was already sure that the fish was hooked.

Although on the surface it appears that Callenster's garrison is already as high as 70,000, enough to compete with the 60,000 royalists. However, this is just what looks beautiful on the surface. An army of 70,000 people means that the amount of military food to be consumed is also considerable. Now the grain reserves in the south have been burned out by Rhodes. There is not even food to be harvested. In the past, for the sake of stability, the Southern Parliament has opened a warehouse to put in grain, and almost consumed the remaining grain. Now, with a ration of 70,000 people, Rhode really wants to see where the Southern Parliament is going to make so much food. Callumster is a very remote and barren city. It doesn't have that much reserves.

And through the old Walker's intelligence network, Rhodes has also learned that the messenger of the Council of Light did reach the Golden City, but did not see the shadow of Archduke Lydia, I heard that the Archduke heard about the frozen lake The melting anecdote, so I went to the Cramer area to watch the scenery and take a tour ... ... when it comes back, I am afraid that only geniuses know.

Although in this state, there has not been a large-scale war between the two sides, but there have been many small-scale frictions. Rhodes has also heard many rumors and deeds about Marin leading the Xenia Family Magic Guard to repel the Southern Army. Not only her, but in this case, several families within the Principality of Munn will send their heirs and confidants to the front line to experience it, on the one hand to hone themselves. On the other hand, it also expresses its attitude to the royal family. As the largest family in Muen Gong, the Xenia family is naturally attracting much attention.

Every time I heard about Marlene, Rhodes' mood was very complicated. He was very happy that Marlene was on the right path. With his knowledge of the lord family of the Principality of Munn, as long as Marlene could be in Playing well in this battle, the position in the King's Party will naturally rise and become more and more stable. After that, Malin should be able to join the ranks of the Wang Dang in a very formal capacity and make all preparations for inheriting the Xenia family.

Although for Marlene, her future is bright. But Rhode was reluctant to leave her at all, not to mention her intimate relationship with herself. Malin's own ability was also a great help for Rhodes. As a talent born in the political world, Malin Not only has he possessed unique magical talents, but his political ability is also outstanding. The Starlight Guild was able to jump from a small group of less than ten people to its current size without falling apart, and a large part of the credit goes to Marin. If she could, Rhode really wanted her to be her deputy for life. At that time, Malin will do something, but he'll be fine ... uh, it's far away ...

But unfortunately, such good things Rhodes can only think in his mind, although Marin likes herself very much, and the relationship between the two sides has transcended friendship. But Rhodes didn't think that Marlene was the kind of woman who would be constrained because of this. She came out of the Shania family and was raised as an heir. As a qualified and outstanding heir, it is absolutely impossible for Marlene to describe as "the poor folk novel" "As long as I can follow you, I can abandon everything, do nothing, as long as you love me, I have no complaints No regrets ......... "This is basically a lie to a child. A mature person should understand his responsibility. If Marilyn really makes such a choice, she is really naive-but according to Rhode's observation, she is absolutely impossible to do so in the name of Marilyn.

If Anne and Li Jie were to say that, that would be wrong.

"Aha……………"

Raising his head and sighing, Rhode put down the quill in his hand, looked at the pile of documents in front of his eyes, and shook his head helplessly. Without Marlene, many things became very troublesome. Although Marin had set up a very complete process and rules for the entire guild before leaving, as long as you follow these steps, there will be no problems. But no matter how good the motherboard is, cpu's last name can't go up and useless. Without the ability like Marlene, in the final processing stage, even if Rhodes and Canary who are already accustomed to managing the guild come, they will be a little bit busy-in the game, they don't need to care about what the players are doing of.

Forget it, it doesn't help to think about it now.

Thinking of this, Rhodes shook his head and tossed the shadow of Marlene in his head aside, then he reached out to pick up the bell on the table and shook it slightly. With the sound of a crisp bell, the door of the study was opened, and then, as always, Agavy moved the tentacles indifferently, walked in, and the two tentacles under her stretched slightly to the side, it seemed as if a human lifted a skirt In the same way, he gave a gift to Rhodes, and it was not too slow, and he asked in a perfunctory manner.

"Master, what do you command?"

"How's the fortress at the moment?"

Rhodes thought about it and asked. The sea elves are good at this point. As elemental creatures, they have the power of telepathy with each other. As the highest level of them, A Jiawei can easily get most of the fortress through other sea elves. People's movements. After hearing Rhode's inquiry, Agavy first closed her eyes and remained silent for a while, then opened her eyes again and said.

"For now, everything is normal in the fortress, but the magic guide structure that you designed before, is just starting to be officially equipped today."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rhodes frowned.

"Take me to see."

Rhodes then spoke.

Above the vast grassland, the breeze gently stroked it, causing the grassland to set off a wave-like ripple. The entire grassland looked so peaceful and peaceful under the sun. However, soon, dozens of war horses rushed past the prairie from the roar, breaking the unique tranquility on this prairie. These cavalrymen raised their spears high, smoothly changed, organized an assault formation, rushed forward, the horseshoes ran on, and the rumbling sound echoed on the grassland. Countless turfgrass was hurled into the air with the horses flying, and then spread back in the breeze.

When Rhodes came to the prairie, he was seeing the cavalry crossing and swapping in an extremely flexible way. The original triangular formation that charged forward changed its direction within a few seconds, but it was speed. Undiminished to the right. At this moment, the headed cavalry seemed to be aware of Rhodes's presence, and he blew a whistle suddenly, and with this sharp whistle, the cavalry suddenly tilted to the side, and then straightened at Rhode Come over. The sound of horseshoes kept rolling, like a thunderous thunder. It was just a few dozen rides, but at this moment it gave people a kind of rushing face, and they couldn't resist and resist. But Rhodes was unmoved. He just put his hands behind his back and looked calmly at the cavalry who charged himself.

Just as the cavalry were about to reach Rhode's attack range, they suddenly slowed down, and then aligned uniformly, as if they were programmed to indulge, and stopped simultaneously in three steps. At this time, the headed cavalry trot all the way to Rhode's side, turned over and dismounted, and then opened his black armor mask. The face of a young man full of energy and vitality was revealed.

"Hi Lord, hello."

"You seem to be doing well, John. How do you feel?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Rhode nodded slightly in response.

The young man in front of him was John Greer, whom Rhode picked up from Pafield. After the mercenaries of the Starlight Guild left the front of Pafield, John also brought more than sixty people who had fled to him to follow the order of Rhodes to the fortress of the Starlight Guild, but unlike the mercenaries, their identity was Luo German personal soldiers and courtiers.

Frankly, before he came here, John still had a lot of doubts and anxieties about Rhodes. In his opinion, a young aristocrat, no matter how powerful, was limited. Otherwise, it will not be down to leading mercenaries to participate in the battle. But soon, John was stunned by this majestic fortress, and after Canary and Little Bubble Gum gave the young man a dismissive weight, his doubts were finally cleared, and he began to wholeheartedly serve Rhodes. Doing things --- being able to have such a huge fortress and having such a powerful subordinates around him, the future of such a nobleman can be foreseen.

Now, John himself feels the benefits of being Rhode's family member.

"Very good, sir."

Upon hearing Rhode's inquiry, an excited smile appeared on John's face. He reached out and knocked on the heavy black armor he was wearing. The half-armor that the cavalry wore for light movement was different. Now John He and his men wore a body armor that looked incredibly thick, and was protected from head to toe, everywhere. Not only that, but in their arms, a sharp prismatic shield unfolded. The sharp point in the front extends the tip of a long gun, and on the rear side of the shield, there are two conical shapes slightly thinner than the arms, and sharp thorns like teeth extend from the back. This weird design makes these cavalry soldiers look like monsters with teeth all over their bodies.

"To be honest, at first I thought the armor would be heavy, but I didn't expect it to be as light as leather armor, and there was no inconvenience and inflexibility on the body! Not only that, but this strange weapon also came out. Surprisingly easy to use, sir, I didn't expect that you could make such a thing! "

John's excitement is not unreasonable. As a person who had been born in the aristocratic family, of course, he would not be as stupid as those ordinary soldiers. Well-informed, he put on this black armor, picked up the weird prismatic shield for a trial, and immediately realized that this is not ordinary equipment, but an alchemy creation-this kind of thing is in It is extremely rare on the market, not to mention soldiers in large quantities. Even in John's impression, even the most elite troops in the Southern Army did not receive such good treatment! !!

But now, when he first arrived, the adult actually gave him such a valuable gift, which made John sure that he had made an extremely correct choice.

Seeing John's excited expression, Rhode nodded slightly. He certainly understood why John was so excited. This set of equipment was not conceived by Rhodes himself, but was invented by the Dragon Kingdom of the Night, and the alchemical construction of the equipment was carried out in batches. It was not only light, flexible, but also extremely lethal. Strong. The reason that the Dragon Kingdom in the late night can sweep across the rare rivals in the mainland is also related to this set of alchemy equipment. However, at the time of manufacture, Rhodes and Labis also referred to the differences between the undead and humans, and weakened and adjusted this armor to make it more suitable for human use.

"This equipment is still being fine-tuned. If you feel any problems while using it, you can just ask it and I will let Labis correct it ......... By the way, I said before, let you give this one Do you think of a name for the army? "

"Of course, I already think about it, Lord Rhodes."

Hearing Rhode's words, John couldn't help but raise his chest proudly, and then spoke.

"I plan to call my army Black Rose. What do you think?"

"……………………"

To John's surprise, when he heard his answer, the corner of Rhode's mouth twitched suddenly, and then his expression seemed to become quite complicated.

"Black rose?"

Rhode raised his head strangely, looked at John, and looked at the cavalry in black armor behind him-uh, he is not incomprehensible to the black, but that rose ... how to let Rhode Feeling so awkward?

It's okay if it's normal, but when I think of myself going to the battlefield with them later, mixed with a group of "black roses", I don't know why Rhodes felt a little shudder. He looked at John quirkily and unwillingly, then muttered inwardly.

All I know is that the old gangster in Garcia liked this one. Could it be that the young guy John also liked this tone? Otherwise, there are so many names in the world, why would he choose such a rose? Is n’t it better to call a rose than a rose? This always reminds Rhodes of something not so pure and evil in his world ... Could there be such a hobby in the bones of this young man? This is really surprising news. If that is the case, I would have known that I would not have brought him back from the Pafield front line, but would have left it to Garcia, the old fox. What enthusiastic sparks can "friction".

"... Lord Lord? Any questions?"

Seeing Rhode's appearance, John inquired somewhat puzzled. He thought the name was very good—or that he wanted to break his head, and only thought of it for so many days. Although John has also convened his subordinates to brainstorm, after all, this is their team, and a powerful name is naturally better than anything. But the result of the rally was not very satisfactory. As for the "black rose", those "black whirlwinds" or something ... John was embarrassed to presume in Rhodes.

"Uh ......... keke."

Upon hearing John's questioning doubt, Rhodes coughed awkwardly, and then calmed down again, glancing at John and the cavalry behind him.

"I think this name is a bit too soft. Afterwards, we are going to charge forward and face the sharp knife of the enemy on the front line. What a rose is a little bit ......... So, this cavalry team, we will The name is Black Blade Guard. What do you think? "
