Chapter 103 Four-man squad
Chapter 103 Four-man Team
The results of the investigation by the Mercenary Association were soon released, not even for half a day - this is not surprising. The two groups of people started to make trouble at the door of the Mercenary Association, and onlookers can be said to be everywhere. //《》.com》 Novel Network// The results of the investigation gave the old president and Serek a headache. Theoretically, it was natural to provoke the Jade Tears first and were punished. However, Rhode's reaction was obviously too extreme. Killing in the street had exceeded the tolerant limit, and he also injured the other party's leader. Although there were many private fights between the mercenary groups, the Mercenary Association still had to take charge of the place where they could see it.
Originally, Serek was planning to talk to Rhode, hoping that he could come forward to reconcile with Jade Tears, but he didn't expect that Rhode, who had always been easy to talk to, was turned away this time. Rhode's attitude was very clear, and he didn't even want to talk! This made Serek feel helpless. He couldn't figure out why this young man was so capricious and turned against him, without any preparation.
The Jade Tears were unexpectedly calm. Although many mercenaries were indignant, their backbone was injured and they were still unconscious. The flock of sheep without the tiger leader was just a flock of sheep. Even the shouting was weak. After all, they were unreasonable in this matter. Now even the leader was almost killed by the other party. His strength was not as strong as others. The mercenaries were weak when they shouted, so they did not pose any threat to Rhodes.
However, for Rhodes, it was a pity not to kill Frank.
He knew very well the role Frank played in the subsequent event and his true identity. Rhodes was sure that if he could get rid of Frank, then the Kingdom of Light would never cause any storm in Deep Rock City within at least half a year. As long as he seized the time, Deep Rock City would be his world in half a year. At that time, even if the Kingdom of Light sent people to make trouble, it would be impossible.
But the current situation made Rhode feel a bit unsatisfactory. According to the information found by Old Walker, Frank was only injured and needed to recuperate for one month. One month was still too short for Rhode.
However, for Rhodes, this was a good result, because he finally succeeded in provoking hostility between both sides as he wished.
In fact, after learning about Frank's leadership of the Jade Tears, Rhodes had always wanted to find an opportunity to intensify the conflict between the two sides. Because he knew very well that in the future, in order to fight against the conspiracy of the Kingdom of Light, he would inevitably lead Starlight to launch an open and secret sniper at the Jade Tears. However, if he did this in a state of no reason, the other party would definitely doubt whether he knew the Kingdom of Light's plan. Although Rhodes actually knew what the Kingdom of Light wanted to do, he did not want others to know that he knew.
In this way, the safest way is to make the reputation of both sides an enemy. There are many such mortal enemies in the mercenary group. Even if the other party's plan is disrupted, they will not think that this is Rhode's intentional act of targeting the Kingdom of Light. They will only think that this is just an enemy between the two mercenary groups, and this is what Rhode hopes.
After all, different ideas are different, and targeted. If the Kingdom of Light realizes that Rhodes are likely to know their plans, then an unexpected situation may occur. But if it is just a dispute at the mercenary group level, it is difficult for them to take action without authorization to avoid exposing their identity. It is like two gangs fighting, and it feels normal for them to fight. But if you send Cia or FBI to help one side fight the other side, then it will immediately arouse suspicion.
The lady in Golden City is not a foolish monarch, so the Kingdom of Light has always been careful, and Rhodes can be sure that if they cannot be sure that they do know their plans, then under the current situation, they will never come to trouble themselves. Because this means that they are also causing trouble for themselves. //《》.com》可一大官网//
Originally, Rhodes was still worried about how to successfully provoke the opposition between the two sides, but he did not expect that the caring Barney immediately brought him a delicious and hearty meal.
It is indeed a child who can teach. At least after this battle, Rhodes did not have to worry that the reputation of both sides would develop in the direction of harmony and friendship.
However, one thing that was beyond Rhode's expectations was that after this conflict, the attitude of other mercenaries.
Logically speaking, in the face of such things, most other mercenary groups adopt the attitude of watching the fire from the other side of the river and not asking about it. However, after this conflict, many mercenary groups showed their support for Rhodes and their mockery of the Tears of Emerald. This surprised Rhodes a little, but he quickly understood the ideas of these mercenary groups. After all, nearly two-thirds of all the thirty-two mercenary groups in the Parfield area have suffered heavy losses, and at this time,
Jade Tears waving a lot of money to dig from other mercenary groups, which is even worse for the various mercenary groups that are already seriously damaged. If Jade Tears are so powerful as Starlight, it would be fine if they can kill an elite mercenary group of seven in and seven out in the quiet high ground. It is not unreasonable to understand that people go to high places and water flow to low places. However, Jade Tears cannot see how strong it is. Just relying on those few stinky money to dare to come to poach people, which really makes many mercenary groups very unhappy.
Nouveau riche are just as unpopular everywhere.
Because of this, many mercenary groups have complained about Jade Tears in private, but because Jade Tears absorbed a large number of people and their strength has increased, they have reached the first level based on the number of people alone. However, other mercenary groups have suffered great energy and have not recovered yet and are not qualified to fight Jade Tears in private, so they can only curse in a few words.
However, they did not expect that at this time, the Starlight came out and pulled out the Jade Tears and beat them up. This immediately made them feel very happy. Since someone was willing to make a fuss to deal with them, others would not mind shaking flags and shouting spiritual support from behind. Although Rhodes also knew that this verbal support had no practical significance, it was not useless. At least through the expressions of these mercenary groups, the Mercenary Association should also be very clear that Jade Tears' reputation in the mercenary group is not good now, and these issues will naturally be considered when dealing with it. This is enough for Rhodes.
But for Rhodes now, this is not the most important thing.
"Just...is it here?"
The girl raised her head, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on her pretty face. She pulled her cloak tightly and looked at the ancient and tall house in front of her timidly. Beside her, a young man who was also wrapped in the cloak comforted and caressed the girl's head.
"Lapith, don't worry, I believe there will be no problem."
"Uh-huh."
Although the girl nodded, the expression on her face did not relax because of this. Seeing the girl's appearance, the young man beside her smiled helplessly, then raised his head and looked at the two companions around him. In fact, they were also unsure of this.
The four people looked about the same age, and they were also dressed as mercenaries. The man and the woman in front looked like a brother and sister. The brother was carrying an old wooden longbow, and five or six flying knives were connected to the belt around his waist. The emerald green cloak covered his head and body, leaving only a pointed chin, which looked very mysterious. This was the dress of a ranger. Although the girl beside him was dressed similar to him, she lacked the temperament of a ranger. On the contrary, her cloak of the young man beside him was holding the cloak of the young man beside him, while restlessly looking around, made people look more like a child running away from home.
Standing behind the two were heavy armor, heavy swordsmen carrying shields and long swords, and thieves half-squatting on the ground, bored yawning.
Although the four people had different expressions, they were still a little nervous when they looked at the old house not far away. In fact, these four people were the newcomers who came to the Starlight Mercenary Group to report, and before that, they were Anne's subordinates in the Macbeth Mercenary Group.
At this moment, the four people were in a very complicated mood.
The Macbeth Mercenary Group was the first mercenary group they joined. Before that, they did not have much adventure experience, so they were often excluded after joining the mercenary group. It was Anne who helped them and brought them to his own squad, gradually adapting to the life of the mercenary. They originally thought that life would continue like this, but the sudden death of the old leader and what happened later caught these young mercenaries off guard. The struggle for the position of the old leader made Anne very distressed and headache, and they also saw it and were anxious. However, as newcomers, they did not have much say. They could only watch Anne finally abandoned by the mercenary group and left here.
After that, the battle for the leader of the Macbeth Mercenary Group ended. As soon as the new leader came to power, he immediately began to choose to clean up the power of the old leader. Many people were transferred to other mercenary groups, which also made the four of them give up on the Macbeth Mercenary Group. So in the end, they found Old Walker through their acquaintances and asked him to go to Xingguang. In their opinion, since the Macbeth Mercenary Group could no longer stay, it would be better to take the initiative to find a way out instead of waiting for others to abandon them. And if possible, it would be better to continue to partner with Anne.
However, dreams are beautiful, but no one is sure of the reality. Out of concern for Anne, they have also inquired about some evaluations of the Starlight Mercenary Group from various channels. Most of them are very good, but some also make them very uneasy, especially after Rhode killed the members of the Emerald Tears Mercenary Group on the street, which made them even more worried. They were afraid that the mercenary leader was a cruel and tyrannical guy, and it would be terrible to kill people if he had a disagreement.
However, the time was not for a retreat. Just when the four of them were still struggling, the Macbeth Mercenary Group had already informed them that they no longer belonged here.
So the four of them had to bite the bullet and walk up to the door. No one knew whether the future was bad or good.
Just as the four of them arrived at the gate, a woman with bright red hair came over. She looked at the four of them with a serious expression, pressed the hilt of the sword with her right hand, blocking their way.
"Who are you? Is there anything wrong with the Starlight Mercenary Group?"
"this………"
Although on the surface, Shana is only four or five years older than them, she was once a group leader and her majesty is still there. The four mercenaries in front of her were just rookies who had just entered the mercenary group for less than a year, so she lost in momentum. Looking at the sharp eyes of the red-haired mercenary, the girl in a cloak hurriedly hid behind her brother, and her brother coughed lightly before raising her head.
"I'm very sorry, this lady, we are..."
Speaking of this, the Ranger suddenly opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the woman in front of him carefully.
"Are you the leader of the 'Red Eagle'?"
"You are..."
Hearing the Ranger's words, Shana looked at them curiously, and then asked.
"I, we used to be Miss Anne's subordinates, and we came to the mercenary group to report..."
"So it's you."
Hearing the Ranger's answer, Shana nodded. She let go of the hilt of her waist, then turned around and walked towards the old house.
"Come with me."
Under the leadership of Shana, the four of them walked into the courtyard.
The scene in front of them surprised them a little.
Rhodes' mercenary group is famous in large part because he set up his stronghold in the Haunted House of Serel, which has always been "famous" and almost everyone knows it. So before they arrived, they thought it should be a dilapidated, gloomy and deserted place. However, everything in front of them was far beyond their imagination. The clean and tidy courtyard was not gorgeous, but it carried a few serious houses and two dark flags fell from above. If it weren't for the weeds in the garden that had not been completely cleaned up, no one would have thought this was the legendary Haunted House.
"Miss Shana."
Looking at the figure of the red-haired woman in front of him, the Ranger hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
"Why are you in the Starlight?"
"Because the Red Eagle has disbanded."
Shana shrugged her shoulders and answered the Ranger's question. Although her tone was very free and easy, she still had a hint of helplessness inside. After all, it was a mercenary group created by herself. Now it was gone. Shana was not yet at the age of being able to see through life, death, honor and disgrace, so she was naturally reluctant to leave.
The four of them also heard the helplessness in her words and immediately kept silent. The girl beside the golfer even secretly glared at her brother, obviously blaming him for not picking up any pot. And the golfer, who was despised by his sister, could only scratch his head helplessly, and finally decided to bite the bullet and continue the topic.
"That... Miss Shana, we want to know, what kind of person is the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Corps?"
Hearing this, Shana stopped. The four people following her also stopped at this moment. They looked at the red-haired mercenary in front of them curiously, for fear of missing any of her words. And at this moment, Shana also turned around, but unlike what everyone thought, she had a smile on her face - what's going on?
"Well... it's really hard to say what kind of person Mr. Rhode is. After all, I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, but I can give you some advice."
"Please say it."
When the four of them heard Shanna's words, they immediately became nervous. It was no wonder. After all, they were about to meet the rumored mercenary commander. If they could learn some news about each other in advance, at least they would be mentally prepared, right?
"First of all, I want to tell you that Mr. Rhodes is not much older than you, but you must not underestimate him. He is a very powerful person, and one thing you should pay attention to is that he rarely smiles. And, one more thing to note is that he must never raise his face in front of him... This is very important, it is important to be about whether you can survive."
“…………”
For some reason, when they heard this, the four of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Even the thief who followed behind and kept laughing at him restrained his expression at this moment.
"Difficult, is that the leader of the regiment looked terrible?"
The girl who had been hiding behind her brother couldn't help but ask, it seemed that women care about their appearance no matter how old they are.
"That's not what I mean."
When facing the girl's inquiry, Shana waved her hand with a wry smile. She thought for a while, and seemed to know how to explain to everyone.
"Anyway... I just hope you remember one thing, he is a gentleman. You must not make any mistakes in this."
As he said that, Shana pushed open the door.
"Come on, Mr. Rhode has been waiting for you for a long time."
