Rhodes attaches great importance to the Black Blade Guard, even more than his mercenary guild. Although Rhodes' power base is still the mercenary of the guild, it is the cavalry unit to truly play an important role in the battlefield, and the high-profile one is still the cavalry unit. Not only that, for Rhodes, the cavalry unit is also a very important part of his tactics. Of course, he would not imagine these more than 60 cavalry to fight against the overwhelming undead army, but as long as there are John and these cavalry

With the soldiers, more cavalry can be trained well. This is what Rhodes needs. In any case, John is also a regular soldier, and most of the mercenaries are wild ways. Perhaps they will cooperate with each other's teams, but it is almost impossible to make those mercenaries as soldiers obey orders and dare to refuse to obey and have the courage to face danger and give up their lives. This is determined by the values ​​and identities of both sides. No matter how powerful Rhodes is, he cannot change this.

After the Black Blade Guard was officially established, Rhodes finally had his first private soldier in the name of the noble. Although he was still very weak at the moment, Rhodes was sure that they would definitely become their capable confidants and subordinates in the future. Not only that, Rhodes also authorized John to select among the young and middle-aged laborers and mercenaries in the Land of Atonement to expand his troops. Of course, Rhodes also knew that the food had to be eaten at a time and the road had to be taken step by step. Therefore, in the early stage, he only allowed John to recruit up to 300 cavalry, and after they passed the test and were able to reach the level of regular cavalry, they would expand again.

In this way, the rumors and opinions of Rhodes' guild becoming the largest mercenary guild in the Principality of Moon are actually not very exaggerated. Because no matter how they develop, other mercenary guilds have power restrictions. But Rhodes is different. He serves as the president and nobles of the mercenary guild at the same time. Although Rhodes' aristocratic identity is not very helpful when performing missions. However, once there is any conflict, Rhodes can be arbitrarily mobilized several times more people than other guilds or groups. His dual identity can also be

It is said to be the best cover. If Rhodes' guild had any conflict with other mercenary guilds, Rhodes could wave his hand and then hundreds of cavalrymen stood there. No matter the number or momentum, they were definitely not comparable to those mercenary guilds. If you accuse him of breaking the rules of mercenaries, the other party could turn around and bite and say that you insulted his dignity as a nobleman. Now they are "discussing issues with you as an aristocrat," as a mercenary president. If things really turn out like this, there is really no way to deal with it...

In fact, many mercenaries have noticed the loopholes in this rule. They have also been discussed within the Mercenary Association. After all, there has never been a precedent for the president of the Mercenary Guild to serve as a nobleman in a country and have titles. Because most mercenaries are from grassroots, they may cooperate with the power class and allied, but most of them will not choose to surrender to the ruling class. However, Rhodes' special identity has also made the Mercenary Association quite helpless and embarrassed, so in the end, Rhodes' matter can only be left alone. In any case, they cannot be because of Rodes.

De's special identity is special and he is restricted specifically. Not to mention that this will definitely cause Rhode's dissatisfaction. I'm afraid there will be some turmoil even within the mercenaries. In the end, the Mercenary Association is not a human inside and outside. If he offended Rhode, he would not be able to appease his mercenaries. So he pretended to be amnesia, as if this had never happened. Anyway, Rhode's subordinates are still within acceptable ranges, and he doesn't plan to expand on a large scale, judging by his appearance, the Mercenary Association would be happy to be an ostrich, stuffing his head into the sand as if he couldn't see anything.

Rhodes was buried in his guild and fortress construction, but other places were not idle. In the Duchy of Moon, the civil war between the north and the south continued. At the beginning, Karenster, who had received reinforcements, began to act like a desperate stance to target the royal party. But soon, the fire planted by Rhodes began to appear under heavy pressure. Karenster's military rations began to decrease, and the supplies transported from the rear were not enough to consume 70,000 people. Although the commander had connected several times to reduce the amount of rations, it was still useless. After all, the number of people was too large.

The front line is tight, and the rear is also in chaos. In various parts of the south, grain prices have begun to rise sharply, and many large commercial associations have begun to hoard goods to ensure their demand supply first. This has also led to the rise in grain prices again and again, and even so, supply is in short supply. In big cities, citizens complained. In those villages and towns, people are increasingly dissatisfied because they cannot buy enough food to support their lives. Not only that, even the Southern Parliament is very troubled by the current problems. Originally, the main component of the Southern Parliament is the Southern Parliament’s Great Business Association.

The business associations and wealthy businessmen and nobles have channels and abilities to hoard grain, but the nobles do not have the ability. Therefore, in the Southern Parliament, many nobles asked the business associations to open up warehouses and buy and sell grain. The business associations naturally directly refused this. Their reason was freedom of trade. We have the final say in how much we want to sell and how we sell it. No one should intervene or intervene without authorization. However, the nobles obviously would not obey the views of these black-hearted merchants, and those who are more conservative were just cursing. Some even began to gather private soldiers to rush into the business association and openly rob grain.

In addition to these, the displaced refugees on the Grosso Plain finally exploded completely. With the rise in food prices, these homeless refugees finally began to face the crisis of not being able to fill their stomachs. People always have to survive. At this point, they finally could no longer tolerate the delay and waiting of the Southern Parliament and began to "reliance". Many refugees began to steal, rob, and use all their own ways to obtain food and money. Especially the rich people living in big cities have become the targets of their attacks, because in the eyes of many refugees, the reason why they encountered such a situation was because these rich people were insensitive and ignored their pain and disasters, which caused the current situation. It is precisely because of this that these refugees were even more ruthless when attacking the rich people.

At this time, the whole south had completely lost its peace and peace in the past. The beautiful scene of singing and dancing in the past was no longer there. The once bustling streets became deserted, with garbage and sewage flowing everywhere. In the dark alleys, you can see many worn-out clothes, like crazy people wandering. The stripped-out corpses fell casually in the ravines on both sides of the street. Taverns and shops had already been

Residents stayed behind closed doors and stayed at home tremblingly. The business associations were also facing a great enemy. The major business associations, which used to be busy, are now full of armed guards everywhere. They hold their weapons tightly and are always wary of the raids that the nobles' private soldiers are likely to launch. The nobles no longer hold those happy dance parties. Each family is closed and women are prohibited from going out, so as to avoid them becoming the targets of the thugs and a tool to vent their anger.

People began to become fearful, crazy and tremble. They never thought that things would develop to the present situation. When they had just gained independence and left the Duchy of Mun, everyone felt that the sky above their heads was unprecedentedly blue, and the air they breathed was unprecedentedly free. They could decide their future by themselves, instead of letting an invisible hand merging their destiny at will. And at the beginning, they did feel this. At that time, the entire southern region was free and upward, and everyone seemed to have changed.

Like the mental outlook, they spontaneously organized themselves to maintain order, restore and establish new power institutions as much as possible. The people spoke enthusiastically and participated. The members of the parliament also listened to their ideas and promised them to consider their opinions. This made these people feel unprecedented satisfaction and expectations. They look forward to a better tomorrow, a future that no longer falls under violence, like the Dragon Kingdom of Light, the people themselves, and everyone works together to build a better future and home, and decide the future of the country's destiny.

But now, the beautiful soap bubbles are finally broken.

For the people of the south, everything that happened at that time, victory, flowers, cheers, and hope was like a deep and beautiful dream, but there was always a day when the dreams were about to open their eyes and wake up from the addicted dreams, what they saw was dark and desperate darkness like a tomb, and the spread of depression that was almost unrestable.

Wake up from the dream.

Faced with such a situation, the Southern Parliament was powerless because they had begun to split. The business association was unwilling to agree to the request of the nobles, and after the nobles gathered private troops to attack the business association, the two sides were completely opposed. Some weak nobles saw the opportunity and tried to escape. They abandoned the parliament and took all their property to the ships to the Dragon Kingdom of Light. The number of people participating in the parliament was getting less and less time. Although several of the core figures were very clear that if this continued, they would only cause disaster, but they were powerless... Until now, the situation has developed and changed so quickly that it has completely exceeded their expectations.

Although the Southern Council sent people to ask for assistance from the Council of Light several times, and even at the end they were about to slap the table and stare at the eyes, the Council of Light was still like an old god. They did send envoys to the Golden City, but the problem was that Lydia was not in the City of Gold, but went to see the natural scenery of the frozen lake. Not only that, I heard that this great master, who was by nature, planned to go to the Cranmer area and experience the customs and customs there... As long as you are not a fool, you know that this great master is now delaying meeting with the messenger of the Council of Light.

Of course, this has set off another storm in the Dragon of Light. Many people accused Lydia of being like a scorpion and being addicted to luxury and enjoyment. Her country has reached such a time of danger. She is still in the mood to run out to travel around the mountains and rivers, which is simply outrageous!

However, no matter how accused, they could not do anything to Lydia. What's more, Lydia's reputation has been bad for a day or two. Anyway, she has long been used to being called a tyrant, executioner, and poisonous woman. Naturally, she would not care how the indignant insults and accusations of the people of the Lydia now were - no matter what they did, even if they were angry and their lungs were worn out, Lydia still should eat, play, sleep, and the position of the Archangel under her and the position of the Lord of the Duchy of Moon was as stable as Mount Tai, and would not shake at all.

Perhaps this is what makes the people of the Dragon of Light hate and anger the most.

Although Lydia's whereabouts and the royal army remained unmoved should be a good thing for the reformists, the reformists did not expect this. What they most hoped was that the Council of Light could intervene in mediation, and then signed a formal armistice with Lydia and a contract to recognize independence under the leadership of the Council of Light. In this way, Lydia could not tear the contract, and they could officially gain recognized status.

But now, Lydia's whereabouts are unknown. Although the royal army has not been moved, the armistice agreement has not been officially signed, which means that there is still a danger of war between the two sides. Even though the envoy of the Light Council is in Golden City, Lydia has never come forward. Even if the battle really starts, they will have no place to reason.

The southern seaport has always been the most important commercial and trade center on the Dragon Soul Continent, and the information circulation is naturally very fast. Now, this once prosperous place has become like hell, sliding towards the infinite abyss, which naturally attracted the attention of many countries and forces in the Dragon Soul Continent.

However, they did not notice that on the other side of the Dragon Soul Continent, a change was quietly emerging.

Under the dark night sky, the bright red full moon hangs in the air, reflecting the lonely tower above the wilderness. The man wrapped in a black cloak was staring at the desolate scenery in front of him, until a ghostly figure emerged from behind him and gradually turned into a human form.

"Hello, Lord Duke."

"You're three seconds behind on weekdays."

Hearing the shadow's answer, the man turned around. On the surface, he seemed to be in his early thirties. His handsome face was full of the masculinity and charming beauty of a man, but his pale skin and bright red eyes completely betrayed his identity - it was a blood-sucking species. In the face of the man's reproach, the black shadow just smiled.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Duke, because of some trivial matters, now there's a little riot in our eastern neighbors, so I unconsciously asked for more information."

"snort."

Hearing the black shadow's answer, the man snorted coldly, raised his head arrogantly, and looked at the sky.

"The humble humans are so ignorant of life and death. Their lowly lives are so fragile and short that this group of pigs in captivity have completely forgotten their responsibilities and obligations. Now they are in such a situation, which is entirely due to their own fault and is not worthy of sympathy. As domestic animals, they want to disobey the owner, which is ridiculous."

Speaking of this, the man reached out and didn't know how he moved. In just an instant, a glass of bright red wine appeared in his palm.

"What's going on with Your Majesty?"

"There is no change. Lord, the Four Demon Generals have not received the order to be transferred. It's just that his Majesty is very interested in our neighbors recently. I don't know if it's because of this little entertainment or... But this is not something I can interrupt, Lord."

"There is no action in the four demon generals now, which does not mean that they will not have action in the future. Don't underestimate His Majesty's talent and ability. He is the most outstanding existence among dragon souls in all ages. Even if he compares the twins, he cannot give in, let alone the dragon of light that has been destroyed... Humph, it seems that this time, the battle and grudges between our Dark Night Dragon Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom of Light has come to a decision."

Speaking of this, the man picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

"But we can't just watch here, Di, you should be very clear that His Majesty hates those unenergized subordinates the most. Since our neighbors in the East are in trouble, then I think it's time to bring them some small surprises. By the way, I heard..................... It seemed that the subordinate that old guy Nefarian liked died there? This is really an interesting thing, but the dignity of our Dark Night Dragon Kingdom cannot be defiled. Di, you should know how to do it."

"Of course, sir."

Hearing this, Di raised his head, and the smiling face of the vampire revealed a hideous, cruel and excited smile.

"In fact, I already have a goal. I think you must have heard of what happened in the Soraham Mountains."

"Sora Hill? I did hear some rumors... but that's just rumors, right? So? Do you have any good ideas?"

Hearing Di's answer, the man raised his brow and turned around. Seeing his movements, Di lowered his head deeply again.

"To be honest, sir, there is a very interesting existence in the Atonement Land bordering our country in the Principality of Munn... I think maybe he can help us." (To be continued
