In Rhodes' memory, the war corps is a brave and meaningless and powerful group. They both have the strength of warriors and the power of mages, and use the power of magic to be invincible in battle. They are soul fighters and inheritors of magic, walking alone on this continent, and using their ideals to fight a sky...

Memories are always beautiful, but reality is not.

So it is understandable that when Rhodes saw the group of people with family members curled up in the corner of the fortress, who looked like refugees and beggars than mages, his expression on his face was so weird. It was like taking a cos photo I had seen online and rushing to meet the real person, but it turned out that this was entirely a later credit... Well, this complex state of mind is really unspeakable.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Lord."

The representative of the war corps standing in front of Rhodes was also helpless and embarrassed. His name was Soth, and he was one of the deputy commanders of the war corps. He was similar to the others. The deputy commander also looked like a ragged man, but at least he was wearing a magic robe. In addition to being a little dirty, he still had a bit of mage's majesty's majesty.

"What happened?"

Rhode took his eyes off the ragged "beggars". He could not understand how the war corps, which were considered a bit of a prestigious figure in Dongfangshanyuan, could have been so miserable. And according to Marin, the total number of war corps that came to the Fortress of the Atonement Land this time was more than 900, which sounded like a lot, but the elderly, weak, women and children accounted for two-thirds of them. There were only less than 200 members of the war corps, and many others were injured and sick. If it weren't for the help of Lijie and the spiritual masters of the church, these people would have gone to the West long ago.

He was injured and brought his family with his family. And the deputy commander rather than the commander... Anyone could see that the life of the war corps was not easy, but no one knew why it was difficult. However, this was not a problem for Rhodes, because he came here just to get the answer. Soon, Rhodes got the answer from South.

The root of the problem is still on the staff of the Soul Road.

In order to catch the war corps, Rhodes threw out such a bait and wrote a detailed and complete guide for them. After getting this guide, the war corps naturally set off. Just as Rhodes thought, the soul road is the lost inheritance of the war corps. If this inheritance can be really retrieved, then the war corps doesn't mind being a thug for Rhodes--it would be strange!

Although the soul road is a lost inheritance, it has been lost for hundreds of years. In the eyes of many war corps, the soul road is more like a myth. It sounds beautiful, but it has nothing to do with them. These people are not many in war corps, but not very small. So when Best brought back the news from Rhodes, there were also opposition and protests. War corps and demon hunting groups are different after all. The latter, as a semi-demon, cannot live well in any corner of the continent, and finally someone can accept them.

No. They naturally ran away from the trap or not. But the war corps lived a very comfortable life in Dongfangshanyuan. Although they had left the Mage Association, they were only pagans and not cultists. At most, people were ignorant and afraid of them, and they were not as good as cults like cults. Moreover, the war corps was also considered a king of Fangshanyuan. Now they wanted them to go to other lords to be thugs for something that had been lost for hundreds of years.

However, this kind of sound is a minority among the war corps, and most war wizards still hope to find the inheritance. So the war corps finally set off. But they did not expect that everything afterwards would be completely beyond their imagination.

There are three deputy commanders in the warfare corps, one commander. Among them, South and Best support the commander, but the other deputy commander Lemon also supports the search for the soul. However, his idea is different from the other two, because in the tradition of warfare corps, it has always been stated that whoever masters the staff inheritance of the soul path will become the real leader of the warfare corps. For Lemon, this is an excellent opportunity for him to peek at the throne of the commander. Moreover, he also recognizes that like those opponents, he is also aware of the fact that he has the same opposition.

It is too much to be a thug for a lord in the war corps, and it does not conform to the spirit of the war corps. As one of the deputy commanders of the war corps, Lemon naturally has considerable strength in the war corps. So he privately sent people to contact those who were not interested in pursuing the soul path, persuaded them to join their team, and promised them that if they could help themselves obtain the inheritance of the soul path, he would support these people's ideas and not leave Dongfangshanyuan and go to Glenbel.

In this case, you can imagine what the final result will be.

Although with the help of Rhode's strategy, the warriors did go very smoothly on the road of soul. Unfortunately, they were not players after all, and they sacrificed a lot of sacrifices to the leader of the inheritance path and Best and South's men, but Lemon retained his strength wisely, and at the last moment, he used this to slash the members of the unprepared warriors. After all, South did not explain to Rhode in detail, but it can be seen that the warriors did not expect that someone would fight back at the last moment, but their strength was still stronger. In the end, Best died in the battle. South and the leader fought hard to kill Lemon, and finally saved the inheritance of the soul path, but the warriors also damaged their vitality.

As the saying goes, blessings come unparalleled, and misfortunes never come in singularity. Not long after the war corps dragged their tired and scarred bodies back, they were once again attacked by the Immortal Legion. If it were the past, the war corps could still block the Immortal Army. But this time... they were really powerless.

The war corps with great strength had to choose to evacuate in the face of the attack of the Immortal Legion. They took their women and children to leave the place where they had lived for hundreds of years, while the commander of the war corps led his subordinates to resist the pursuit of the Immortal Legion with his lives and completely isolated their way forward.

The war corps that lost their own leaders and their homes and whose strength was greatly damaged no longer had the ability to continue to stay in Dongfangshan. In desperation, the only choice they could make was to evacuate, but apart from their own acre of three-point land, the war corps had nowhere to go. Their homes had fallen, and it was not certain when they could be taken back. But where would they go?

Finally, Souths remembered Rhode's suggestion before. Although he was a little shameless, he still brought the war corps all the way to Glenbel and came to "return" to Rhode.

When talking about this, South was still very embarrassed and uneasy, because Rhodes had hoped that they would join in order to get their assistance. For this reason, he also paid in advance. Although the warfare corps has indeed obtained the inheritance of the soul path, they have suffered heavy losses and they have brought so many people, but they are all eating. In addition, there are many elderly, weak, women and children in it, which cannot be used as combat power. This would be a burden if it was placed in other territories. So when he made this decision, he was a little nervous. It was like a man

She fell in love with a beautiful girl. She wanted to win her favor, so she gave her a lot of benefits. But in the end, for various reasons, this poor girl not only failed to get a romantic love as she wanted, but was humiliated and played with by others, and became disabled and fragile, turning from a charming flower to a dry and old cabbage that no one wanted. As a result, she could not survive any longer and could only come to her with a thick face and drag her body that was pregnant with unknown people. She hoped that the man could accept himself for the sake of his first love...

Rhodes was naturally not interested in being a takeover man. But he didn't give much effort. He wrote a letter from the war corps and gave them a sub-guide, which was not a loss from this point of view. However... the situation in front of him was indeed a trouble for Rhodes. He didn't expect that the war corps would cause such a lot of trouble because of this. South's concern was also Rhodes's idea, but Torod's face was not revealed. On the contrary, he comforted South and let them live a peaceful life here. As for what to do next, let's talk about it later.

"What are you going to do? Rhodes?"

After leaving the gathering place of the war corps like a beggar's nest, Marin couldn't help asking. Faced with Marin's inquiry, Rhode shrugged.

"At present? I don't have any ideas yet, but I think you should have an idea, Marlene."

"Yes, Rhodes."

Hearing Rhodes’ words, Marin smiled very proudly, and then she took out a plan and handed it to Rhodes.

"I think this is our opportunity."

In Marin's view, although most of these refugees who followed the war corps were elderly, weak, women and children, and could not provide any help in combat, people were born not just for the battle. There were still many jobs in the land of atonement, and the sea elves could not take care of all the work. Moreover, the sea elves had no interest in rewards and money, and it was even more impossible to promote commercial circulation. But these refugees were different. Although they did not have strong power, most of them had skills, which could just fill the most deadly gap in the current Rhodes territory.

The biggest problem with Rhodes' territory is that they are not alive enough. Most of the people gathered here are mercenaries and workers, but there are very few others. However, the prosperity and development of a territory requires various professions to work together, plant, processing, production, sales, and production, and these require personnel from all walks of life. At present, the biggest problem with Rhodes' territory is the shortage of manpower. This has always been a headache for Marine. She can let her classmates from her college come here to develop, but she cannot convince the residents living in other areas to move on a large scale, but if they do not move, where will the population come from? You can't jump out of the cracks of the stone.

However, when the warfare corps brought their families to the Land of Atonement, Marlene's eyes suddenly lit up. She keenly realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to make Rhode's territory flourish! People are indeed unable to pop out of the cracks of stones. Most people are idle and do not migrate at home, but if they are forced to migrate, there is no problem! Although Moon did not lose a large area of ​​land like the Land of Light, many people migrated to other places because they could not bear the war. If they could bring these people to Glenbel, then Rhode's territory problem would be solved by most of them.

Not only that, in Marlene's opinion, refugees are even easier to manage than ordinary people. Because after suffering the pain of war, they first hope to live a stable life after settling down, and then consider other things. However, the reason why those who migrate normally leave is to find a better living environment is that Glenbel does not have these. But we still have a safe and stable environment!

Moreover, we have very few populations here, so we don’t need to worry about how to resettle refugees like other territories. Marlin even plans to find time to talk to the lords of other territories after this. If they have this idea, they can send all the refugees to Glenbel. This will not only solve the population problem of Glenbel, but also solve the big trouble that makes those lords headaches, and sell them favors. Kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone. Why not do such a good thing?

The more Marin thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good solution, so she wrote such a plan before Rhode came back. In the plan, Marin not only explained in detail the benefits of sheltering refugees, but also considered the safety and chaos that would be caused by the arrival of refugees. However, Marin is still very confident in this regard. At present, the entire Atonement Land is the sphere of influence of the Starlight Guild. With mercenaries and guards, the refugees are unlikely to cause too much trouble. And they are fine

It is easy to reach a safe and stable environment, so naturally I don’t want to encounter turmoil again, so even if I will be incited by those who are interested, there are only a few who can respond. Of course, with the increase of refugees, this means that Glenbel’s military strength should pay more attention to internal security rather than external threats, which is not a big problem. First, the Immortal Legion is now retreating. Second,... Marine is still very confident about the elemental elves summoned by Rhodes. If the staff are insufficient, you can use the elemental elves to support it.

I have to admit that as a nobleman, Marlene, who grew up as a family heir, is indeed outstanding in this regard. At least Rhodes can only nod. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a game player, even in college. Rhodes doesn't learn about urban and rural construction and management. You ask him to kill a ss, get a secondary guide, find game bugs, and even know the magical equipment in the game. These Rhodes are good at it. But if he asks him to do territory construction, set tax rates, etc.... they rely on the business simulation game to play.

Rhodes is still not at the top of the art. And making money in the game is different from reality. In the game, there are gold groups, and there are specializing in selling equipment, materials, and leading rookies players to achieve success. These are the sources of money for a player guild and power. But to put it bluntly, this is a game demand, not a reality. If Rhodes travels through a game world, a deputy can brush hundreds of times in a row, and various artifacts can toss and turn around and make money from Boss, then it is naturally easy for him to make money. But the problem is... this is not a game world.

So Rhodes's Money-making Sutra was no longer chanted here.

What surprised Rhodes was that there were several suggestions in this plan that surprised him, and there was even one suggestion that Rhodes could take out some of the money to use it specifically on the group of refugees. Of course, this was not about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but about declaring that when the refugees settled in their territory and had their own industries, if they wanted to develop, they could use their own industries as collateral, borrow some money from Rhodes, let them develop, and then set a repayment period in the church. If the money cannot be returned after the expiration, then their industries will be seized and taken to the lord. As for how much money, it is determined by the value of their mortgage.

Seeing this, Rhode's eyes twitched. He was still thinking why this thing is so familiar. Then he thought, isn't this a bank loan?

"Is this your idea?"

Seeing this, Rod's eyes when he looked at Marlene, could he change. Could it be that Marlene had traveled through time like himself? But soon, Marlene's answer relieved Rod's inner doubts.

"No, this is the idea that Ann originally proposed. She thought that she should find a way to support the development of those refugees in our territory. Then I found Miss Canary and Miss Bubble to discuss it, and finally concluded."

So that's it, with Canary and Xiaoxiao Bubble Gum participating, no wonder Rhodes looked so familiar. Not to mention Xiaoxiao Bubble Gum, although this little ghost is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he is a rich second generation after all. He has never eaten pork and has seen pig run, and his mind becomes effective in this regard. In the early stage of the game, in addition to spending money in the Starlight Guild, she also came up with many ideas to make money in the later stage. But she didn't expect An could have such an idea... It seems that the business gene in the bones of the rich lady is indeed not covered.

With Marin's plan, Rhodes naturally had no worries about the future of the war corps. As long as Marin did as expected, the result should not be too bad. So next, he handed over this matter completely to Marin, but this does not mean that Rhodes himself had nothing to do. Because shortly after he returned to the Fortress of Atonement, he received the latest system release construction system upgrade task - [Return of the Hero].
