Hearing this, many people's faces changed, their eyes widened in surprise, they couldn't believe what Rhodes said, the Holy Soul is on top, although it was not very difficult for them to win before, but that feeling was not good, after all, everyone doesn't like war, even if it is an easy war to win, not to mention that the war with the Night Country is not easy, although it has been two days, but many people are still pale and sick to their stomachs when they think of the scene at that time- The stress of Night Nation isn't just mental.

"This ......... Boss, what do you mean by that? ”

Joey touched his head, looked around, and finally mustered up the courage to ask questions, in fact, his questions were not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of everyone. Hearing Joey's inquiry, Rhodes lowered his eyes, and he first glanced at the people in front of him——— most of these people, like Joey, were full of confusion and confusion about his words, and only a few people, such as John, Marlene, and Old Walker, fell into deep thought. As for Canary and Little Bubblegum and Bilan's Heart, they are indifferent to this, and as players, they naturally know the ins and outs of the whole thing, and they don't need to repeat it again. Seeing this, Rhodes couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but it's no wonder that except for a few people under his command, the rest are all mercenaries, and they are used to fighting and killing all day long, how can they think about the meaning and problems behind this?

But now it looks like it's time to teach them a lesson.

Thinking of this, Rhodes spread his hands.

"I want to ask you a question, what do you think is the reason for the Night Nation's attack on the Continent of Light this time?"

Hearing this question, everyone was stunned, they looked at each other blankly, and then hesitantly gave an answer.

"This............ Because the undead and the living are predators........."

"Because the Land of Light sent troops to the border. Angered the Night Nation........."

"The two sides have been entangled since the beginning of the Creation War, maybe the Night Nation has made up its mind to completely occupy the Continent of Light this time?"

Everyone gave answers in a gossiping manner, and the answers were varied, but these answers were also within Rhodes' reasoning, after all, they were only the natives of this continent, not the players who could get all the information and intelligence from the Internet in their own time. It's not bad to be able to make such an analysis from limited intelligence, it's better than ............

"It doesn't matter what they're here for, just hit back!"

Anne shouted with a small fist and a pout.

See, that's a counterexample.

In the face of everyone's answers, Rod shook his head slightly, and then he waved his hand, seeing his movements, quickly. The originally noisy study was quiet, and everyone looked at Rod, apparently waiting for his answer. Rhodes looked at them and spoke.

"First of all, you have to remember that war is an extension of politics, it is a means to achieve political ends. If the goal cannot be achieved, then the war is meaningless. Before, you were mercenaries. Just do what you are told, but for now. I need you to grow up and see clearly this war and what is behind it, and know that the war is not such a simple thing. ”

Speaking of this, Rhodes spread out the area of the Dragon Soul Continent in his hand and pointed to the top of the dragon. And when they saw his movements, the crowd gathered around.

"I think you already know from Simon's confession the composition of the current undead army. But I tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the undead army, and their true strength is much more than that. You must know that in the previous war, they only dispatched low-level and middle-level troops, and none of the high-level troops appeared. Bone Trolls, Death Scythes, Lichs, Vampire Armies, Shadow Fiends, this is the killing move of the undead army, and this is not counting the dark elves and some dark races as vassals of the undead. But so far, none of them have appeared, and not even a shadow can be seen. Maybe you haven't experienced their power yet, but I can tell you that if they do, even the little bubblegum and canary will never dare to confront them too much. And in fact, this time they didn't even have the mid-tier classes, and all you saw were the Abomination and Death Knights, and the ghosts and ghouls didn't even show their shadows, did they? ”

Hearing this, many people's faces changed, and they turned their heads to look at the two, and in the face of everyone's eyes, Little Bubblegum and Canary nodded.

"So, if it's a fully equipped undead legion, then it should be dominated by bone soldiers, plus skeleton shooters, death knights, abominations, and bone guards. Equipped with necromancers, ghosts, gargoyles, and according to the different characteristics of the legion, bone trolls, death scythes or vampires will be added, if it is the direct legion of the four demon generals, you even have the opportunity to see the shadow demon, which is a kind of phantom creature, it is like a shadow shuttling through the darkness, unless it is a weapon with divine power attached, it will not hurt it in the slightest. And it can pass through all kinds of obstacles at will, your armor is meaningless in front of them, and even when you are killed by them, you will immediately transform into a bone troll——— the latter you don't seem to remember, but if you think about it, double the threat of it. ”

Hearing this, many people's faces turned pale, of course they knew how terrible the abomination was, but in fact, in the previous battle, the loss of manpower was basically from the attack of abomination, their axes could even easily smash the spiritual master's protective barrier, and in the face of those violently exploding magic arrows, they didn't care about continuing to move forward, if it weren't for the heart of Bilan using [Casali in the Night], resetting the battlefield and keeping them away from the fortress walls, no one knows what the outcome would be.

At this moment, no one cares about why Rhodes knows so much about the configuration of the undead legions, and even their classes and powers, at this moment they just stare at Rhodes, and at the same time keep his words in their heads, maybe they are not a qualified battlefield commander and general, but as experienced soldiers, they naturally have to record all the information of the enemy in their minds in case of emergency.

"So to speak. If there is a regular army of four demon generals equipped as standard, it is impossible for us to defend the fortress at all, maybe the only thing that little bubblegum and canary can do is to delay time and let us all evacuate safely, but want to hold here. It is impossible to rely on the strength of the two of them. At least for now, that's what it looks like. ”

Taking in the expressions of the crowd, Rod continued, reaching out and gesturing.

"But what did you see in this battle? Only the lowest-tier Bone Soldiers, the Death Knights, Abomination, and then the Bone Guards. Gargoyles, skeleton griffins, and most importantly, necromancers. None of the high-level units I mentioned earlier appeared, do you know what this is for? ”

"Because they want to preserve their strength?"

After all, John was a serious legion commander, and he was much better than the others in this regard.

"What do they want to conserve their strength for?"

"This ..............."

Looking at John's embarrassed expression, a smile flashed in Rod's eyes.

"This brings us to the political purpose of the war – and its ultimate purpose. You may not know it, but the Night Country is a prosperous, prosperous country............" Rhodes said. Noticing the incredulous expressions on the faces of quite a few people, their eyes widened. looked at Rhodes in surprise, as if he had said something contrary to common sense, but it was no wonder that in the eyes of ordinary people, the Immortal Kingdom should be as cold as a cemetery. is lifeless, and it has nothing to do with "prosperity" for eight lifetimes. However, Rod did not defend himself, but continued. “……… In the past, the Night Nation was much as you might think, under the control of the Four Demon Generals. The Land of Night is calm, but as lifeless as a graveyard. However, everything has changed since the appearance of the new Night Dragon Soul Ion. In order to change this situation, His Majesty the Dark Dragon Soul began to vigorously support the small and medium-sized family factions, and changed some of the rules of the Night Realm, allowing them to have a wider upper body space. And it is precisely because of this opportunity that the Night Country has begun to become lively, and many families and gate lords who were originally just surviving or dependent on others have begun to rise, and have achieved the current strength of the Night Country. ”

Saying this, Rod shrugged his shoulders.

"However, prosperity brings more than just benefits, the cake is only so big, it is the same in any country and every power, when those families start to try to sit big, they will violate the interests of the four demon generals, as the oldest and most powerful four families in the night country, the four demon generals will never allow anyone to challenge their majesty. Although they can use thunderous means to completely destroy those small families who are not long-sighted, there will always be people who will come up to fill the void, and they are not lacking in power and ambition. ”

"But Rhodes, the Four Demons will be so powerful, and there are people who want to take their place......... Is this possible? ”

Marlene was a little confused, and in the face of her question, Rod nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's impossible to be human, but don't forget, Marlene. They are undead creatures, and the most important thing for undead creatures is time and patience, not to mention these small families, even the famous Four Demon Generals? Barend, the Soul Chaser, started out as nothing more than a squad leader in a local legion in the Legion of the Dead. And the 'Blood Countess' Esvile is even just the illegitimate daughter of two vampire families, as for the 'master' Garcia, she was originally just the child of an ordinary human slave family in the Night Country, even they can have today's status after a long time, how can others not be? ”

"This ..............."

Hearing Rod's answer, Marlene was speechless for a while, indeed, human beings have a short lifespan, and they can only rush power for a while, and their so-called patience is only waiting for thirty or fifty years, compared with the undead who can wait for two or three hundred years at every turn, it is indeed insignificant and not worth mentioning.

"The family that has the strength to challenge the four demon generals is unwilling to give up, and the four demon generals will naturally not give way to the land and wealth in their hands, but the cake is so big, the so-called lions can't stand the wolves, and once the conflict between the two sides escalates, it is likely to cause a lose-lose outcome. At that time, it will consume the national strength of the Night Country, and in the current situation where the cake cannot be redistributed, then there is only one way for them——— since the existing cake is not enough, then they will grab a new piece and distribute it again. ”

Saying this, Rod stretched out his finger and tapped the map in front of him.

"And the Continent of Light. It's this cake. ”

"But.................. Adult ..............."

Hearing Rod's words, Thor swallowed his saliva, only to feel that his mouth was dry, knowing that he was only a half-demon before, and all he thought about every day was how to lead his companions to find a place to live on this continent, even if he thought about it a little longer. It's just thinking about how he should live in the future, and now he is here to discuss the threat of war and the future of the entire continent, which makes the leader of this demon hunting group feel a little too unreal.

"W-does this have anything to do with what you said earlier?"

"Of course."

This time it was John who spoke, and after learning about the current situation from Rod, John naturally had his own judgment.

"As your lord said, the current Night Nation is only testing us. It's like two people fighting each other, no one is going to attack with all their might as soon as they come up, they will test each other first. Let's see if we have what it takes to hold them off. If we can't stop it, they're determined to swallow us, and if we do, then they're going to think about whether it's still necessary......... That's right, sir? ”

"That's right."

Hearing John's explanation, Rod nodded. The game also proves this, and at first the Night Nation did not intend to, or rather, it did not expect to be able to annex the entire Continent of Light. It's like a hooligan doing something to a beautiful woman. Originally, if the other party gave him a slap, maybe the other party would retreat, but the beauty just trembled and gritted her teeth, and endured there without the power to fight back. Then the encouraged hooligans will naturally continue to attack until they are completely occupied and conquered, and their desires are satisfied.

"At least for now, the Night Nation has no intention of launching a full-scale war against the Continent of Light, its primary purpose is to plunder more land and resources to supply the emerging forces in the country, which is also the reason why the Four Demon Generals did not lead the regular army to appear on the front-line battlefield at the first time. Because at the same time, this is also a test and elimination of the strength of the Night Country. War is the best examination room, and those who are not strong are weak. Or the stupid and ignorant guys will be crushed and crushed, and the rest will be the true elite of the Immortal Realm. ”

Speaking of this, Rod couldn't help but remember that in the game, the Night Nation attacked on a large scale, and after occupying a large area of the Continent of Light, he agreed to the Council of Light. An armistice was signed. At the time, many players were puzzled, believing that it was normal for him to take advantage of his illness to kill him, but the Night Nation stopped and gave the Light Nation more than a year to recuperate before tearing up the agreement and continuing the attack. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's because the Night Nation is redistributing power, in the previous wars, the dazzling new stars of the Immortal Nation have emerged one by one, and they have also proved their strength in the war, while the stupid and idiotic guys have been completely wiped out, even if the Night Country has a great appetite, but if they eat too much, they always need to digest it, not to mention that for them, even if they let the Continent of Light recuperate for a year, it's nothing, The nature of human beings also determines that even if they are given a year, they will not be able to create an army of millions out of thin air.

The poor low-IQ members of the Council of Light actually saw the opportunity for peace from here, and actually discussed using the dragon soul of light to sue for peace, which is really stupid, until now Rhodes doesn't know which eye of those fools sees that it is a "signal of peace".

"I say this to give you a clear idea of the situation at hand."

Rhodes lifted his gaze from the map, glanced at the crowd, and continued.

"War is not just a war, now the Night Nation is completely blocked on the Moon front, but this is not their true strength, I want you to know this, they are now readjusting their strategy and mobilizing their troops, but as I said, the four demons will not attack easily, because it is likely to attract the confrontation of the three archangels, and then become a confrontation between the creation dragon souls, which will lead to the second creation war."

"Is there no way we can stop this war altogether?"

Li Jie clasped her hands in front of her chest and asked uneasily. Hearing her inquiry, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly.

"As long as we work hard to defend, block the attack of the undead legions, and destroy all their vitality as much as possible, when the Night Nation realizes that the damage they have suffered is far greater than the gains they can gain, they will naturally stop."

Speaking of which, Rhodes himself is not very sure, this was originally a hypothesis put forward by the keyboard parties on the Internet, "If history is so .........", "If history is so ......", "If the Principality of Moon blocks the attack of the Night Country.........", "Joining the Night Country will encounter stubborn resistance on the Continent of Light and suffer heavy losses", "If the Kingdom of Light unites with the Kingdom of Law to attack the Night Country............ etc., etc., etc., but history naturally cannot be repeated, so the "if" of the keyboard party will always be "what if", But now here, "what if" has become an existential possibility——— if the Duchy of Moon can really stop the attack of the Night Nation, will the raging war that spread across the continent be extinguished in the future?

Rod didn't know what to do, he could only try——— and that's all.

After that, everyone left one after another, and Rhodes could see that many people's faces were a little more serious and heavy than ever before, if they were just mercenaries before, and they were just fighting for the sake of fighting, now when they learned that their battles would be closely related to the fate of the entire continent, they would naturally feel heavy pressure, but this is fine, there is no motivation without pressure, and people cannot progress without motivation............ Thinking of this, Rod glanced at Anne who was sleeping on the table, and it was obvious that for Anne, these principles were completely inapplicable.

"Knock knock."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Agamevi's watery voice.

"Your Excellency."

"What's the matter? Agavi? ”

"Yes, sir."

Hearing Rod's response, the sea elf quietly "slid" into the room, and she saluted Rhodes before speaking.

"The War Angel Legion has reached the fortress." (To be continued......)
