Chapter 168: Pre-Battle Preparations
For Rod, the unpredictability of fate is too strong, and he neither believes in fate nor denies its existence. Even on the earth, when science and technology dominated everything for human beings, people still debated whether there was luck and fate in the underworld, which seemed to be ethereal like looking at the moon in the fog, so it is not impossible to have the so-called guidance of fate in this even more unscientific world. But these are meaningless to Rod himself, in Rode's opinion, if fate can bring him one soft girl after another, then this fate will never be resisted. But on the other hand, if fate wants to take the soft girl away from him, then Rod will resist to the end.
After all, for Rod, fate is not much different from other things, and he is willing to accept it if it can bring benefits to him. If it is not good for him, he will be decisively eliminated, he will not accept the way of entrusting everything to fate like Marlene, nor will he deny her approach, after listening to Marlene's explanation, Rod finally understood where the inexplicable dedication in addition to desire and love came from when she and herself had intimate and zero-distance contact before, although Marlene herself did not say it explicitly, But Rod, who has seen similar plots in online novels, guessed without asking, and estimated that Marlene had heard in prophecies and fate that she had to give everything to the chosen one, and this was her fate. Rod doesn't have too much mental cleanliness in this regard, he doesn't care whether the other party comes to him completely because he really loves him or has the psychology of exploitation, or completely because of the will of the outside world and not completely driven by his own ideas, Rod has long been with many women, and he has a deep understanding of this. The so-called "even if you don't have any merits, I will still love you" This kind of pure love is basically just the delusion of literary and artistic youth, and the reason why women express their love for the opposite sex must have their attraction, which may be material money. Outstanding appearance may also be a spiritually attractive talent or temperament, or even a pitiful tragic life experience, or thoughtful care. In any case, there is always a capital to attract admirers, and women have made their own different choices. There is no such thing as love without a reason. There is no hatred for no reason. It's not amazing.,Eat at home and wait for death.,The guy who doesn't have any outstanding features is hit by a beautiful girl who falls from the sky.,And then the plot of not marrying is only in the comicsβββ.,Even if it's limited to the fat house in the comics.,At least it's able to dominate the bed skills.γ
Rod is not incomprehensible to Marlene's guilt, no matter how aristocratic he is in his bones and how much education he has, after all, he is the first man she admires and delivers all, Marlene is still a young girl, and naturally looks forward to a love as pure and immaculate as white jade like everyone else, but now she has such a motive, which naturally makes Marlene a little embarrassed to face Rhodes. On the contrary, it was Rod who comforted her softly, and finally let Marlene let go of her knot. It's just that what makes Rhodes a little concerned is that although Marlene doesn't seem to care about it anymore after that, her actions suddenly start to become a little resolute, as if she has made up her mind.
This young lady is not going to do something stupid according to the so-called fate in her mouth.
Thinking of this, Rod sighed softly, and then he slapped the long sword in his hand. Look in front of you.
"That's it for today."
"Yes............ My lord. β
Hearing Rod's order, the three "pseudo-people" who were almost paralyzed on the ground replied almost in unison. Although as a race created by humans. Their physical strength is higher than that of ordinary people, but Rod's training is definitely not something that ordinary people can withstand, not to mention, after learning from Marlene that the physical strength and endurance of these pseudo-people are much better than ordinary people, Rod also raised his training level without hesitation.
As a result, the three poor men were now sitting on the ground, sweating profusely. Can't even stand up. In front of them were the silent Celia, and the squinting and clasped hands around Celestina.
"Arashi, you're still moving too slowly, is the only thing the Hell Lord has is a numerical advantage? The overwhelming undead aren't for you to play Command & Conquer. didn't even have a set of systematic combat methods to start a riot, do you really think you can make a wave? β
Rod coldly glanced at the man who had finally stood up and spoke. Hearing his reprimand, the man bowed his head respectfully, without the slightest resistance, and accepted Rod's words. Maybe at the beginning, he still had doubts about Rod's strength, but after a few days of "training", he had already noticed that the other party was not at the same level as himself at all, and perhaps there was not much difference in the level of strength. However, just in terms of summoning swordsmen, the other party's proficiency and experience in the combat techniques of this class are not comparable to them at all. As the strongest of the guardians of the Tinder Source, they have the inheritance of summoning swordsmen, and they are as weak as adults who have just learned to walk and babies in front of this man.
"Love."
After glancing at the man named "Arashi", Rhodes turned to the elder of the two sisters, who was slowly standing up, sweating profusely, but still gritting her teeth and forcing herself to stand up. After that, Rod realized that the girl in front of him had the rule of "healing", as long as there were conditions, she could heal all the damage suffered by the elves in an instant, which was indeed a very good assistance for her as a soul messenger, but unfortunately, for Rhodes, he didn't need to defeat the opponent by defeating the elves.
"You learn quickly, the next thing is to use your ability to fight with the elves, although your rules should be suitable for standing in the rear, but if used properly, you can become the most impregnable barrier on the front line, but before that, you have to learn how to use several summoned elves at the same time to attack and defend at the same time, I don't think it will be difficult for you."
"Ah............ Yes, master. I'll try. β
Hearing Rod's words, Lian's face turned slightly red, and then he hurriedly spoke. Since that defeat. The girl blushed every time she saw Rod, and her eyes wandered around uncertainly. It seems that what happened at that time really hit the girl in front of her very hard. But......... I don't know for what reason, after that day, the girl began to call Rhodes the master. Although it was a little inexplicable, there were more than one or two who called themselves masters, so Rod went with her.
"I guess you should not think about it anymore. You may be shy yourself, but your enemies will never care if you are male or female. At that time, if you are too weak to exert your combat effectiveness because you are gone, then the result will not be as simple as fainting. β
"Ah, yes, master, I'll take notice."
Hearing Rod's words, the girl named "Love" hurriedly raised her head like a panicked rabbit, nodded vigorously to Rod, and then immediately turned red after meeting Rod's gaze. Then he immediately lowered his head again and looked at the ground, not daring to say a word. Sensing the girl's shy expression, Rod shook his head helplessly, and then he looked at the little guy who was still crawling on the ground, but raised his head like a little cat who refused to admit defeat, and looked at his little guy through gritted teeth.
"Heart............... Your brain is so stupid that it's hopeless, next time......... No, I wouldn't be surprised to see your corpse on the battlefield. Obviously, he has such a force. But stupidly to launch a surprise attack? Maybe I should summon the Hellhound out and let you talk? β
"Huh............!!"
Hearing Rod's mockery, he snorted angrily. Turning his head away from him. In fact, in these days of training, she has made a lot of progress, but perhaps because her attitude when she first met was too bad, Rod always likes to treat her badly, causing this little guy to look like a fried cat every time he sees Rode.
"That's all for today's training......... No, that's the end of this phase of training. β
Rod glanced at the three in front of him again. Turning his head to look out the window at the lake that glittered in the light of the tinder, he frowned and clenched his hands. The time was almost up, and since that day, the entire inhabitants and guardians of the Tinder Source have been in action. Begin to prepare for the coming Chaos Vortex, both for the inhabitants of the Chaos and for the Archers brought by Rhodes. The enemy is the vortex of chaos, the source of chaos, the location of the boundless chaos monsters, no, or it can be said that there is no limit to the number of monsters there, once the battle begins, then the number of monsters that everyone has to face can only be described in three words.
Unlimited.
An infinite number of monsters will attack the source of the fire like crazy, in an attempt to completely destroy the one, the fire of order. Until Rhodes ignites the fire and completely dispels Chaos, their battle will continue, and there will be no truce and rest, and there will be no defeat and retreat, unless the Dragon Soul Shelter is reawakened and completely dispels Chaos.
"Rest and prepare for battle tomorrow."
Rhodes said, nodding to the three of them, and then he turned and walked to the edge of the square, where Marlene and another white dummy were standing. However, that man was much older than the three summoned swordsmen, and he was the manager of this place and the guardian of the Tinder Source.
"How's it going? Elders. β
Seeing the old man in front of him, Rhodes asked, and the old man nodded.
"We are ready, all the defense organs have been rested, and the evacuation of personnel will take about half a day."
"Well, then, it's early the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this, Rhodes was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made a decision. The gate of the source of fire has been found, and then, as long as Marlene uses her strange staff to open the door, then it means that the countdown to the reactivation of the source of fire has begun, and the reawakened fire will once again burst out with the power of protection, but at the same time, it also means that the attack of the scourge of chaos will begin. So until then, it is necessary to completely and thoroughly defend the elderly, women and children who are not capable of fighting, and take them into the depths of the underground shelter, while the others are responsible for guarding the source of the fire until the last moment. Rhodes will take his selected ten subordinates to the deepest source of the fire to complete the final lighting ceremony. However, at this moment, Rhodes was a little nervous, and he naturally knew very well how powerful the Chaos Vortex was with the experience of opening up the Chaos Land. In fact, the reason why players form a group of 100 people to enter the Chaos Lands is that 85% of them are actually prepared to resist the Chaos Vortex from the outside. And those who really need to enter the Tinder Source Quest Maze generally only need ten people to be enough. But now, even if he has such support from the aborigines, after lighting the fire himself, he can still see how many of them come back alive?
"That's right."
Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly remembered something.
"Where's Christie?" (To be continued......)
