Chapter 300 Before the game
When Rhodes arrived at the Holy Arena, it was noon. After the brilliant opening, the originally lively and prosperous festival reached a relatively calm stage, just like a wave of sea, with peaks and lows. It has to be said that Lydia has a good grasp of this degree. After a morning of glorious festival, everyone was a little tired. At this moment, the Golden City was floating everywhere, soothing music and bells gave people a feeling of peace of mind. This was to let them have a good rest and then prepare for another wave of **.
At this moment, Rhodes and others had already arrived at the gate of the Holy Arena led by the war angels...
It was not until this time that they saw with their own eyes how tall this great arena was.
As the most famous building in the entire Duchy of Moon, the Holy Arena is not only famous, but also eye-catching. The Holy Arena covers an area of 23,000 square meters, with a total of 150 meters of walls and large arches that make people feel an invisible sense of oppression when they look up. Especially when they stand below and look upwards, they even feel a sense of dizziness, as if the high wall in front of them that reaches the sky will suddenly collapse and bury them all in it.
Looking at the sacred arena in front of him, Joey and Lando and other newcomers couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Of course, they could not look at this brilliant building with pure appreciation and marvel like Labis and Christie. They don't have to appear here, they are purely audiences, so there is no pressure. But Joey and the others are different. When they think about appearing here in the afternoon, fighting under the gaze of nearly 100,000 people, Joey and Lando couldn't help but start to tremble nervously...
However, Rhodes still maintained a calm attitude. On the one hand, his expression was like this, and on the other hand, Rhodes once played in the Holy Arena in the game. After he made the reputation of the Duchy of Moon to worship, Rhodes once challenged the title of the Holy Guardian and then succeeded. At that time, he had fought under the gaze of nearly 100,000 people in the Holy Arena. Compared with now, it was no big deal.
"let's go."
Of course, Rhodes did not fail to see the psychological changes of others. Qilian still followed her with a heartless smile. As an elemental lord, she must not take this level seriously. Labis was completely relieved. She had figured it out now. She couldn't play anyway, so she was not so nervous. As for Lijie... before coming here, the girl was still very calm, but now she saw Lijie holding her hands on her chest and her face turned pale, she seemed to finally feel nervous.
On the contrary, Anne was jumping around with her golden shield on her back, screaming and screaming. I don’t know if she was really not nervous at all, or was she deliberately venting her nervousness through such exaggerated performances. Based on Rhode’s understanding of Anne, the possibility of the former is higher……
"let's go."
He coughed, attracted the attention of the crowd, and spoke to them. Then Rhode turned to the side, he patted Christie on the shoulder, and then looked at Shana. After that, the rest of the mercenary group also came to Golden City, and of course, they were also arranged at the base. But now the competition is about to begin, so of course they cannot follow them. According to the rules of the Midsummer Festival, members of the major participating guilds will be arranged in the seats behind the contestants, one for the purpose of strengthening momentum, and the other for showing off their strength. However, for Rhode, a mercenary group that has just started, it is unlikely to strengthen momentum, but
Is it Rhodes or let them come over, in order to let these people experience the cohesion of the group. This is also a test, because Rhodes is very clear about what situations he and others will encounter in the Midsummer Festival, which will naturally affect the cohesion of the mercenary group. So he deliberately let most of the mercenary group follow him, cheering himself up, but secretly squeezing and running-in the entire mercenary group. Because Rhodes can be sure that the starlight on the Midsummer Festival is definitely not popular and will definitely encounter hostility from most people. In this case, as a member of the newly joined mercenary group, can those people withstand such pressure?
In the past, Starlight was once hostile to many players because it was too strong, and even players formed an anti-starlight alliance to overthrow them. At that time, many players who joined Starlight felt that they were simply a public enemy who was hated. Many of them chose to withdraw from the guild because they could not stand such pressure, but many people also withstood the pressure and stayed. Later, they all became the cornerstone and pillar of Starlight's development and growth. Now, Rhodes also intends to use the same method to test the cohesion of the team. If they can't stand it, they can leave - this saves him the time to understand the investigation.
"Then Shana, Christie is handed over to you."
"Please rest assured, sir."
Hearing Rhode's order, Shana nodded quickly. Her status is also rising, and in the stars, Shana is very comfortable. Because in this mercenary group, she rarely hears people privately discussing the sound that she can sit in this position by selling her to seduce the leader. This is not surprising. After all, there are more beautiful girls around Rhode than Shana. In terms of identity, Marlene is nobler than her, in terms of temperament, Lijie is purer than her, and in terms of figure, Anne is hotter than her. Most of the mercenaries' aesthetic views are normal. Of course, they don't believe that Rhode will put the three top beauties and choose a woman who has passed by in front of Shana and has a good figure. This makes Shana much more relaxed, and of course, she is much more depressed--after all, she is also a woman...
However, the latter is Shana's personal problem.
Christie stayed in the stronghold for so long and was already familiar with most mercenaries, so she was very accustomed to Rhode's entrustment. She never showed that she had always been hiding behind Rhode when she saw these mercenaries for the first time. Although she was still a little reluctant, when she heard Rhode's words, the girl nodded very well and then followed Shana to the inside of the gate of the arena.
Rhode turned his head after watching Christie's disappearance.
"let's go."
The preparation room of the Holy Arena is much better than the underground Colosseum. It not only does not have the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. On the contrary, it looks very bright. The sacred murals are carved on the walls, and exquisite tables and chairs are placed in the room, and various weapons are hung on the walls - of course. These are just decorations.
Marlene arrived at this time. To Rhode's surprise, he just disappeared all night and the girl changed from head to toe... Of course, this was not to say that Marlene had plastic surgery, but the moment he saw Marlene, Rhode felt a shining light coming to his face, making him almost unable to look directly.
Medusa's Chain, Nightmare Robe, Moon Bracelet, Ice Crystal Earrings - These small artifact-level equipment were radiant in Rhode's eyes, almost blinding his krypton gold dog eyes. The rmb natives really couldn't afford to offend him. Rhode fought hard and racked his brains to blackmail the things he had from the major mercenary groups, but they were not as good as half of the equipment on Marin. And relying on these equipment. Rhode felt that even if Marin was standing in the arena of the players, the other party would probably "gg" and then quit directly after seeing her equipment.
However, this is naturally a good thing for Rhodes. He also realized from this point that the Shania family supported him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Marlin to get so much good equipment by changing the cannon in one night.
Although her previous equipment was actually not bad?
After Marlene arrived, the staff finally gathered together. Rhode nodded to Marlene, and Marlene returned with a slightly unnatural smile. However, Rhode did not notice this. He clapped his hands, and soon everyone raised their heads and looked at Rhode in front of him.
"Okay, I think you should be very clear. Our battle is about to begin."
Looking at the people in front of him, Rhode spoke, his expression was very calm and his voice was also very calm. This made everyone who was still a little nervous and relaxed a little. Their breathing was not as rapid as before. Their heartbeat was not as fast as before.
"I think you know better that we can't lose in this game. Everyone outside thinks we don't have the ability to defeat the Tianjian Guild, and they don't believe we can win. As I said before, we won't get cheers here, but we will only be threatened and insulted, but we don't come here to walk around the stage and then go home obediently."
At this point, Rhodes's face darkened.
"Don't forget, everyone, you came here after defeating all the elites of Parfield's mercenary groups. You prove that you are no worse than them, and stronger than them. But if we fall here, then what is the meaning of my strength to them?"
Here, Rhode spread his hands out.
"Would you like to listen to other people sarcasticly sarcastic words to us when you go back, 'Ha, I was eliminated in the first round anyway. What's the difference between you and me'?"
Hearing this, Joey and Lando frowned, and they clenched their fists, while Anne jumped even more.
"This is impossible. Leader, Annie will definitely not lose. Annie can guarantee that the broken guild of the sky or sword is no match for Annie at all!"
"That's right."
Hearing Anne's answer, Rhode nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at Marlene and Lijie who were also cheered up, and then continued to speak.
"Our goal is to win, not only this game, but also win in the next two games... no matter who the opponent is."
When Rhodes said this, he paused.
"Now I'm going to arrange five places to play...Joey, you're the first to go, then Marlene, Qilian, Anne, and finally me."
After Rhode said this, he turned his head and looked at Joey who was surprised to hear his name. He originally thought that he would not be the first to play in such an important game. But now it seems that things are completely beyond his expectations. This made the young thief stand up nervously and speak to Rhode nervously.
"Sir, I, I..."
"Joey, the task I give you is the most important..."
Rhode raised a hand and interrupted Joey's words, before he gave an order that stunned everyone.
"You must lose this battle."
