Walking out of the passage, the dazzling sunshine made everyone squint their eyes for a moment. The huge noise and noise turned into tangible entities and rushed towards them. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, as if this wave would completely swallow them.

Soon, the light dissipated, and it was not until this time that they could see the arena in front of them clearly...

Everyone except Rhodes lost their voices.

It’s not that they have experienced similar situations. Anne and others have experienced it once in the underground Colosseum of Deep Rock City, but how can the simple and ragged Colosseum be compared with this sacred arena?

Looking around, there are people everywhere, and the sacred arena that can accommodate 100,000 people is packed. Just being in it gives people the illusion of being completely swallowed up by the crowds. Not to mention that when the noisy and noisy conversations are intertwined and turned into meaningless noises, it is even more torture.

"The Holy Soul is on..."

Joey walked out of the passage with a trembling trembling eyes at the crowd around him. Although the three-meter-high wall ensured that the crowd could not tilt down from above and completely submerged them, he was still scared to fight with two battles, and his mind was blank. Others' situations were not much better. Lando and Labis looked pale, while Lijie put her hands on her chest and kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down. But this was not an easy thing. As long as she thought about it, she would become the center of so many people's attention, no normal person would be so easy to calm down.

So I won’t talk about Anne, an abnormal person.

When the starlight appeared beside the ring, the noise around him suddenly increased a lot, which made Lijie and others at a loss. They stared at the terrible black crowd, completely unaware of what these people were saying. They could only feel from the sudden increase in the volume that the other party should be talking to themselves, but they could not hear clearly what they were saying. Various sounds came from all directions, as if countless flies were surrounding their ears. Not only that, even if they wanted to talk to each other, they could not hear what the other party was saying.

How could it be so terrible?

Just as everyone looked at each other and felt restless, suddenly, they felt that the noise in their ears had decreased, but after only a few seconds, the noise suddenly changed again, and then turned into cheers that resounded through the sky!

That's right, it's cheers!

The sudden cheer made Labis so scared that his legs weakened and he sat down on the ground. The others were not much better. In front of the cheers that soared into the sky, they curled up their bodies nervously and looked around. At this moment, they saw that on the other side of the ring, people from the Tianjian Guild appeared.

It seems that these cheers are for them.

Although Rhode had greeted them before, Lijie and others still couldn't understand why a Mercenary Guild had such a powerful influence?

It's no wonder that they have been living in Parfield, where the Mercenary Guild is not strong. Hiller's Burning Blade has never had any momentum, so Lijie and others are actually not familiar with the influence of the Mercenary Guild. They only know that the Mercenary Guild has a high influence, but no one knows how high it is.

But Rhodes knew very well.

One of the most important reasons why the Mercenary Guild is popular among the people is that they are unofficial organizations and represent the interests of the local people. The Mercenary Guild manages a region and will naturally have an impact on the people in those areas. Take the four major Mercenary Guilds for example. The Cole Eagle represents the chambers of commerce and regimes on the plateau, while the Purple Lily Guild represents the poor masses in the desolate land. The backing of the Wings of Freedom is the poor class in the southern seaport, and the Tianjian Guild sphere of influence is the rich and noble elites in the south.

It is precisely because the interests of both sides complement each other that the mercenary guilds are attracting attention and popularity. Of course. Because of this, the contradiction between them is irreconcilable and profound. Just as regional discrimination exists in any country in any world, the major mercenary guilds that rely on territories are naturally incompatible.

Among them, the contradiction between Cole's Eagle and the Sky Sword is actually the simplest, because they represent the dominant class of the royal party and the chamber of commerce, as well as the elites and merchant groups of the reformists. The goal on both sides is very simple, which is to compete for the ruling power of the entire Duchy of Moon. The royal party tried his best to suppress the reformists, while the reformists tried hard to overthrow the royal party and establish their own ruling class. This is the most obvious and irreconcilable contradiction, so it is a simpler, just a struggle for power.

But compared with them, the conflict between the poor people represented by Purple Lily and the Wings of Freedom is the most complicated. It is said that the poor hate the rich, but in fact the poor look down on each other, and these two guilds are representatives. The reason is very simple. The Southern Harbor believes that the royal family of the Duchy of Moon takes too much care of the desolate land, but ignores their lives. However, the people of the Desolate Land have objections to this. For example, the poor people in the Southern Harbor are the kind of people who cannot afford to eat white bread but can eat black bread and try hard to have white bread. Therefore, their requirement for the royal family is to eat white bread at least every meal.

But on the other hand, the people in the desolate land cannot eat white bread because of the environment here. They can eat black bread if they work harder, and they can only starve to death if they don’t work harder. So their expectation is that they can eat black bread every meal. As for white bread... they won’t think about it for the time being.

So the conflict between the two places lies in this. People in the Desolate Land think that the idiots in the Southern Harbor just want to sit and eat the mountains and be lazy. At least you still have black bread to eat. We can’t even eat black bread. If we don’t help us, would you help you? What’s the reason? But on the other hand, the Southern Harbor’s statement on the Desolate Land is that it’s your business that you can’t eat black bread, but you can’t take away our right to eat white bread. If you weren’t too incompetent, you would have to

How could it be exploited to be slaves of the royal family? How could it be that they could not even eat black bread? But we are not your brainwashed slaves. We have our own pursuits and expectations. Eating white bread is our legitimate power. Do you care? And even if we are poor and we have freedom and dignity, even if we starve to death in the sewer, that is our free choice. Look at you? It’s okay if you are poor, there is no freedom or dignity at all, and you don’t have any resistance, and you deserve to starve to death.

Of course, people in the Desolate Land don't like to hear this. If the royal family hadn't even eaten black bread now, they would have starved to death. And it was you damn sanctuaries who wanted to cut off our path and let us starve to death. What does it have to do with the royal family? They also said that we should starve to death? Bah, you slut, you slut...

It is precisely because of this fierce conflict between regions that the people in each other look down on each other. Of course, they themselves are citizens of the Duchy of Mun after all, and it is impossible to make a warlord melee or something, and the Mercenary Guild has become their best sustenance. They cannot fight themselves, and they cannot rush to the battlefield with swords to defeat each other. Therefore, the midsummer festival representing the victory and defeat of the Mercenary Guild in various regions has become a means to resolve conflicts in these regions - at least this is much better than really fighting, right?

But on the other hand, the Parfield area is very embarrassing. Although they belong to the royal party, they have never had a guild to represent themselves, so they are low-key. They have not been able to interfere with the conflicts between the royal party and the reformists. But because of this, at this time, they cannot come to the Midsummer Festival and support the guilds in their own region from the bottom of their hearts. This is undoubtedly bad news for Rhodes. Moreover, Parfield has abundant resources and no conflicts of deep hatred with other regions. Their status is like their position on the map of the Duchy of Moon, which is a bridge connecting the north and south sides... and then there is no further.

Without enemies, there will be no cohesion, without goals, and naturally there will be no supporters. Therefore, Rhodes' Starlight can be said to be a real battle alone. In this arena of 100,000 people, except for the less than a hundred people in his own mercenary group, no one is the supporter of Starlight. This is a complete hell for them.

In fact, no one believes that Starlight can win.

"Sky Sword! Sky Sword! Sky Sword!"

Cheers erupted throughout the arena, and many people called the name of the Tianjian Guild, bursting out unparalleled enthusiasm. This scene made Lijie and others look pale as paper--they even feel that standing here is a complete mistake. No one is willing to help them, and no one will support them. They can hardly see any allies here--of course, the people from the Starlight Mercenary Group are on the high platform not far behind them, but just when Lijie and others subconsciously turned their heads and wanted to seek support, they could only see a dark and overwhelming crowd behind them.

Even anyone inside can't see.

This made them feel very upset.

At the same time, an idea that had never appeared before and was even more terrifying than nervousness appeared in their minds.

"Can we still win?"

But for Rhodes, this is not a question of whether it can be done.

He accepted nothing except victory.

Compared with the nervous and uneasy appearance of others, Rhode was very calm. He stared at the five people opposite the ring coldly. Then, he stretched out his hand without looking back and waved his hand to Joey.

"Joey, come on the field, remember what I said... I lost a little decently."
