Although these mercenaries were a little confused and curious about Rhode's order, they still obeyed the order, including Marlene and Lijie. Of course, this is not that Rhodes didn't want them to know their secrets. After all, it only takes half a day to build such a large fortress. Unless they are fools, anyone will definitely know that there will be problems. And Rhodes' willingness to do this in front of them means that he has regarded these people as trustworthy confidants. The reason why they left was indeed to scare everyone a little, and on the other hand, it was for safety reasons. After all, this system is only useful to Rhodes. Who knows if Marlene and others stay here, this system would regard them as exclusion or erasure of something, not to mention that rebuilding is not as simple as repairing the stronghold. For safety reasons, the fewer accidents are better.

Thinking of this, Rhode calmed down and looked around carefully. Now he was standing in the center of the hall of the fortress ruins. During the battle last night, more than half of the place had been damaged, and the ceiling had fallen all over the floor, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere, which seemed really unbearable to witness. Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhode couldn't help but shrugging, then he stretched out his hands, and at the same time he thought in his heart.

Soon, a holographic map similar to that often appears in strategy games appeared before Rhodes, which was a little different from the image when he repaired the stronghold. This holographic map not only included the place where Rhodes is at this moment, but also enveloped the entire Misty Mountains and the Dusk Forest. It can be seen that the current coverage of the system should be the sphere of influence owned by Rhodes Guild.

However, similar to those strategic maps, except for the areas around Rhodes that can be seen clearly, other places are covered by a hazy black shadow, and only mountains, trees, lakes can be seen, but other things cannot be seen. It seems that this system also has a visual range limit.

Soon, lines of system information jumped out in front of Rhodes.

【Guilty territory detected. Land of Atonement】

【The fortress is damaged, has it been repaired?】

unnecessary.

Looking at this message, Rhode thought secretly in his mind and rejected the proposal. After his answer, soon another new system prompt jumped out.

【Fortress is damaged. Refused to repair, whether to build a new fortress stronghold]

yes.

Rhode nodded, and then he put the fortress sketch that he had discussed with Canary and others. After Rhode put the fortress sketch on the holographic scene, a light flashed in front of him. Soon, on the holographic map in front of Rhode, a fortress sample built completely according to the sketch appeared in front of Rhode.

【Fortress covered. Whether to build】

[System tip: A total of 7.59 million gold coins are required to build a fortress, please confirm]

“…………………”

This time, Rhode hesitated.

He looked at the system prompt in front of him. He gritted his teeth, and then carefully looked at the fortress on the hologram at this moment. Indeed, after the sketch was truly combined with the real objects, through this hologram, Rhodes could see that this fortress is definitely an extremely persistent fortress. The snow water on the mountain does not have to worry about being intercepted by the enemy, and the natural barriers on all sides do not have to worry about being besieged by the enemy. Take a step back ten thousand steps, even if the enemy really has this ability. When Rhodes' summoning realm gate is beautiful? As long as a summoning realm gate is built, Rhodes can directly connect to the stronghold of Deep Rock City through here, and there is no need to worry about material transportation.

However, things like the Summoning Realm Gate cannot be built outside. Rhodes had already greeted Canary, and she built the Summoning Realm Gate at the deepest level on the second underground floor of the stronghold. Rhodes would also build the Summoning Realm Gate here in the lowest level and the most stringent place. After all, this Summoning Realm Gate is the highest secret, which ordinary people cannot know.

【Please confirm whether to build it】

Seeing that Rhode had not made a choice for a long time, the system once again gave a prompt. This time, Rhode finally nodded slightly without hesitation.

"put up."

As soon as he said that, the surroundings suddenly changed.

The originally clear sky suddenly dimmed. Not only that, a small golden light ball emerged from Rhode's hand. From this light ball, straight golden threads shot out from it. They were arranged in a grid shape and swung past the ground, just like the previous stronghold, completely "scanning" everything nearby with Rhode as the center.

“……………………………”

A low roar came from the earth, and Rhode couldn't help swallowing his saliva and stared at the earth in front of him. This was the first time he had experienced such a scene in person. Even in the game, everyone would only watch it after building the fortress on the system interface. Even Rhode had never experienced the way he was when he built the fortress. It was precisely because of this that although Rhode still had an indifferent expression on the surface, in fact, deep in his heart, he was a little excited, expectant, and nervous.

"boom…………!!"

The sound became louder and louder, and then the whole earth began to tremble slightly. Then, Rhode only felt that the black eyes were dark, and huge black shadows broke out from his face and soared into the sky!

The thick city walls roared from the earth, and for a moment, the dust was flying, and the howling wind couldn't even open my eyes. And the broken bricks and tiles that were originally scattered on the ground turned into dust under the whistling wind and disappeared!

All Rhodes can see is this.

Because at the next moment, in front of him, the walls that had already been mostly broken began to be automatically repaired. Not only that, they were repaired on one side, but even tended to be elevated on the other side. Even the ceiling, which was not too far above Rhode's head, began to ascend all the way up and at the same time twisted and deformed. The entire scene looked like the construction records he had seen on TV. People always used cameras to shoot a building's construction process for a hundred days, and then quickly put it in, allowing the viewer to fully appreciate the entire process of a building from scratch within a few minutes. Now Rhode feels that he is the audience, and he is witnessing the scene of a huge fortress "accelerating rapidly".

The navy blue stone wall stopped extending, and then at its edge, a series of embellishments and decoration patterns began to emerge, and around Rhodes, the stone pillars used to support the dome of the house also began to take shape. However, in just a few minutes, a hall that was originally dilapidated and full of garbage was immediately clean and tidy. The smooth stone floor was unimaginable that it was still a concave sand and stone floor a few minutes ago. The solid and heavy walls were also unacceptable. A few minutes ago, it was just a fragile broken wall that could be pushed directly with just a stretch of hand. Looking up, the ceiling that had originally broken above the head was now turned into a beautiful dome with an arc shape, and the sunlight scattered in from the surrounding glass windows, illuminating the entire hall.

The roar of the earth continued, but it became smaller and smaller, and eventually fell into silence.

It was not until this time that Rhodes breathed a sigh of strength, and then he turned his head, walked up the stairs in the middle of the hall, and walked upwards.

The stone steps are hard and flat. There is no flaw at all. Even Rhodes, who saw this change with his own eyes, was a little suspicious at this moment. Is this really something that was built just now? If this is the power of the system he owns, then where does the power of this system come from?

"Why do you care about so many of it, the leader."

At this moment, the sound of the little bubble gum came over again.

"Anyway, for all of us, it feels like reality. Isn't that good? Thinking too much will cause hair loss, and that won't look good. Look at how beautiful this fortress is... I want to have fun, don't be like the idiots in the movie called the Matrix I've seen before, and why are they struggling there virtually for a long time? Humph, others are enjoying the polluted air in the master's mind. They are still breathing the polluted air outside, while eating bad things that are worse than dog food. I really don't know how those people's brains are and they are saviors. I think that's a masochist."

"Everyone has their own opinions and understandings, Bubble, it's too extreme for you to say that."

The canary's voice also came over at this moment.

"They just want to find what they want... Well, as for the result, it is also the result of their choice."

"Smart people won't make stupid choices, so if I have to see, they're just a bunch of idiots."

Hearing this, Rhode couldn't help but smile bitterly. I have to say that the statement of Little Bubble Gum is not unreasonable. In the world where Rhodes is, such things have never happened. In movies and novels, those who can do such things are usually virtual worlds. If we speculate based on this, then Rhodes is undoubtedly a virtual world... But Rhodes always feels that things do not seem to be that simple.

However, as Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum said, it is meaningless to consider whether the world is realistic or not.

Thinking of this, Rhode shook his head, and then he pushed open the door.

As the door opened, a cool wind blew in. At this moment, in front of Rhodes, the fortress finally showed its full picture...

Just as Rhodes was admiring his "work", at this moment, at the other end of the hillside, the mercenaries waiting there according to Rhode's orders, began to chat involuntarily. Of course, what they discussed was nothing more than one thing - that is, how did Rhodes build that fortress?

From the perspective of a normal person, Rhodes, no matter how powerful he is, cannot rebuild a fortress. But after spending so many days with Rhodes, the mercenaries also knew that Rhodes was not a person who would joke about such things, but... if it wasn't a joke, what exactly would this adult do?

For a moment, the mercenaries were talking about this, even Marlene and Lijie were no exception. On the contrary, Anne seemed to have no concerns about these things at all. After she arrived on this hillside, she immediately found a comfortable place for herself and fell asleep. Anne seemed to have no interest in whether Rhode could build a fortress.

"Miss Marlene, can the mage do this?"

At this moment, some mercenaries were already itchy and began to ask Marin. When they heard their inquiry, Marin frowned and thought for a moment.

"This... is hard to say. If you are a mage who specializes in earth elements, it is not impossible to create something similar, but... it would be very difficult to say a fortress, after all, this area is too large."

"But, judging from the adults' appearance, he seems to be very confident."

"I don't know this."

Marin shook her head, then she looked at Lijie thoughtfully. Then she waved her hand to send the group of mercenaries away, Marin turned around, walked to Lijie's side, and asked in a low voice.

"Lijie. Do you have any ideas?"

"Why?"

Hearing this, Lijie was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Marlene, not knowing how to answer. As Marlene thought, Lijie really had a clue. Seeing Rhode's mysterious appearance, Lijie couldn't help but remember what happened when they obtained a mercenary stronghold. When she entered the old house, Lijie was acting with Rhode. She had seen with her own eyes how dilapidated the place was. But she went out to buy some daily necessities. After returning in the blink of an eye, the dilapidated and dirty haunted house that Lijie had originally become bright and bright in the blink of an eye. It scared Lijie even thought that she had walked the wrong door.

Of course, Lijie didn't ask Rhodes in the future, but at that time Rhodes just gave an answer vaguely.

"Well... Marlene, I have indeed experienced this kind of thing... Remember the stronghold we were before, which was originally a haunted house, which was very dirty and worn. Then Mr. Rhode bought it, and we two entered the haunted house and destroyed the undead creatures before we became residents there."

"I know this."

Hearing this, Marin nodded. She wanted to join Xingguang. It was not a brainless decision. Naturally, she had inquired about the mercenary group, so Marin knew exactly what Lijie said.

"But... one thing is really strange. We defeated the undead creatures. After we got the house, it was very dirty and ragged, and some places were burned by fire. I just went out to buy things and came back, but the place became clean. The worn furniture and even the broken glass disappeared, and they all looked brand new..."

"This is really…………….”

Hearing this, Marlin frowned.

"Did Mr. Rhode say anything?"

"He told me that someone helped him rebuild the house, but I don't know who it is..."

Listening to Lijie's words, Marin nodded slightly, and a trace of unmistakable excitement and confirmation flashed across her face, but then Marin still patted Lijie on the shoulder.

"Since Mr. Rhode said that, I think it should be right. Look, doesn't he have legendary fields like Miss Canary and Miss Bubble? Then I think he must have some very powerful people to help him."

"But... no matter how powerful a person is, can he really build a fortress in half a day?"

"I don't know this either, but the existence of the legendary field... we cannot understand and understand it. Maybe it's impossible for them to really have such power."

Just after Marlin spoke, suddenly, a roar sounded, which made everyone raise their heads and look in the direction of the sound. Because of the mountain's obscurity, the mercenaries did not see anything, but they still felt the slight trembling and vibration of the earth. For a moment, many people became panicked.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? It's going to be an earthquake!"

"Is it an adult? What is it an adult doing?"

"But, what's going on..."

For a moment, the mercenaries were talking. They were very curious about what Rhodes were going to do, but now they saw these movements, they were even more curious.

"Or why, let's go over and take a look. What if something happens to the adults?"

"But the lord has warned us that we must wait for him here..."

A group of people argued there. Some of them began to worry about whether something had happened to Rhode, while others could no longer suppress their curiosity and wanted to go there to see what was going on. At this moment, Anne was still sleeping sweetly on the grass, without any intention of being awakened.

"Okay OK!! Don't make a noise anymore."

Seeing that the mercenaries seemed a little uneasy, Joey immediately jumped out. He was at least a little prestigious among the mercenaries. As soon as he spoke, the mercenaries immediately stopped.

"We all know that things are not right now, but since the adults have issued the order, we will just execute it. Anyway, half a day is not long or short, everyone will wait and be over!"

Hearing Joey's words, the mercenaries gradually became quiet. Before, everyone was undecided because there was no leader. Now Marlene and Lijie didn't talk, and Anne was sleeping next to him. So since Joey had his idea, everyone would calm down. Indeed, it was only half a day, and it would be over after a while.

Thinking of this, the mercenaries couldn't help but calm down and began to wait patiently. (To be continued.
