Due to such a delay on the road, when Rod and the others came to Zhuye Town as scheduled, it was already evening. On the way, they also encountered the militia of Bamboo Leaf Town, who had rushed out after seeing the smoke, but they were also relieved to see that the people had been rescued by Rhodes. Later, they also expressed their gratitude to Rod and the others, and volunteered to take them to Zhuye Town. He knows very well that because Dongfang Shanyuan is a relatively closed society, it is not easy for outsiders to integrate here, and there are some things that they may not tell you, nor will they necessarily accept your help. However, it was another matter to have a companion to guide him, so Rhodes gladly accepted the other party's kindness, and then came to Bamboo Leaf Town under the guidance of this group of militiamen.

Although Lijie and Anne, as mercenaries, have been to many places and customs, but after coming to Bamboo Leaf Town, they couldn't help but be surprised to see the town in front of them. Because many of the houses in this town were not made of stone and wood, but of the kind of thing they had seen called "bamboo" before!

This made them puzzled, how could they not understand how such a light, thin and fragile thing could build a house, and was it not afraid that it would fall when the wind blew. Moreover, how can such a light and thin thing live in winter? Doesn't that freeze everyone to death?

After entering Takeba Town, most of the militia went to help prepare the horses and carriages of the refugees who had been attacked on the road, but they eventually chose to leave. After all, war is unpredictable, and no one knows how long this kind of war will last. Moreover, the attack they encountered on the road today strengthened the determination of these people to leave the eastern mountain plain. In that case, then Rod is not welcome......... Just as everyone was heading to Bamboo Leaf Town, Rhodes enthusiastically recommended the Land of Atonement to them. And assure them that although it is not as beautiful as the Oriental Mountains, it is also very safe. What's more, there is a shortage of manpower, and you can quickly find a stable job to support your family, regardless of gender, young or old. But if you go somewhere else, not to mention that it's overcrowded, it's not easy for outsiders, not to mention that it's in the midst of war. It's not so easy to find a job, blah, so if you are comfortable in the Land of Atonement, don't forget to inform your friends and relatives to flee and go to us first............... If you really want to speak out and be heard by others, I'm afraid that Rhodes will be driven out of the Eastern Mountains.

However, Rod's "sales pitch" was indeed fruitful, at least after listening to him, those people had already said that they could consider going to the Land of Atonement to see the situation, after all, they had also heard rumors that the Land of Atonement had wiped out the invading Necronomicon Legion twice in a row——— although the Eastern Mountain Plains were relatively remote and indifferent to many things. But they are still very sensitive to such things as defeating the undead, and Rhodes has wiped out the undead legions twice in a row in the Land of Atonement, if there is no news from the Eastern Mountains. Then they are not indisputable to the world, but completely closed off from the country.

This naturally also made Rod slightly more interesting, it seems that even if he did not cross into this world, he may be able to mix with the sales manager of a real estate company on the earth with his own mouth, and at that time, Xiao Mi will ride, and BMW will drive......... Well, I won't think about this now.

After arriving in Zhuye Town, most of the militia members helped the refugees to go to Zhangluo and pack up their wagons and horses. Rhodes and his party were taken to an inn in Bamboo Leaf Town surrounded by a stream, just like the other houses in Bamboo Leaf Town. The tall inn was also made of bamboo, but to Lijie and the others, it was also made of earth, stone and wood, otherwise they would have wondered if this elaborate dwelling built around the stream would have fallen into it with a single step on it.

Other than that, however, the inn is beautifully constructed, with a clear stream flowing down the nearby hills. It surrounds the entire inn, and unlike the inn outside, the main building is only three floors. The other rooms are connected by a bamboo and wood water corridor that forms a perfect circle around the calm pond behind the inn. In front of the inn there is a large courtyard where carriages can be parked, and there is a stable not far away. It looks perfect. And it's quite beautiful and full of poetry.

However, there was a small episode before entering the inn, and when Anne walked up the steps that were also made of bamboo, the girl jumped lightly on it for some reason. Of course, if it was just Anne jumping like that, then it wouldn't be a big problem. But the problem is that Anne is carrying a strong shield of pure gold! There are now several huge and heavy shields stuffed into this heavy combination shield, weighing two or three hundred kilograms, and this weight Anne doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that others don't care about it.

But fortunately, the quality of the construction of this inn is still guaranteed, Anne jumped a few times, but did not step on the stairs, but the tough bamboo ladder is still a little distorted, and even Christy and Lijie next to them are also crooked, as if they have stepped on the air, almost fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, Rod coughed coldly, which made Anne, who was a little excited and curious, regain her back and obediently follow Rode.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Soth was shocked.

As the latest person to join Rhodes's team, it was not even a week before Soth actually became Rhodes' subordinate, so although he had heard about the "glorious deeds" of Marlene, Anne and Lijie in the fortress, he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he was still a little unconvinced. This is true of all powerful people, who do not believe in rumors, but prefer to believe what they have seen with their own eyes. And whether it's Marlene, Lijie or Anne, they are all too young. Not to mention mercenaries like Joey and Lando, who were actually newcomers more than a year ago. No matter how much growth there is in this year, it is impossible to change from a rookie to a veteran oil all at once. And compared to them, the glorious history of the Tactics of War ...... Let's not mention this, which member of the War Law Group has not been dealing with undead creatures for more than ten or twenty years, and with such strength and qualifications as a backing, he does have enough confidence to doubt the strength of these young people. After all, there are many young people in the Oriental Plains who are outstanding. Rhodes casually met a few refugees on the street, all of whom had the strength of level twenty-five to thirty, and Soth, who grew up in the Eastern Mountains, certainly didn't have much idea about the so-called geniuses outside.........

But after the previous battle, Soth was shocked to find that his idea was completely wrong, and these people were even more powerful than he had heard from the rumors!

In the case of Anne, Soth had no idea of such a slim-looking girl. The battle was so wild, and when he saw Anne wield a Adamantite shield and smash a Death Knight charging at her, Thuss's eyes were about to fall out of his sockets. He had been dealing with the undead for more than ten years, and he knew very well how terrible the Death Knight's charge was. Even their battle mages didn't dare to fight head-on. If anyone dared to tell Soth before today that they had a way to whip the charging Death Knight head-on, they would have thought they were joking, but now...............

Not only did Anne perform well, but Leo's performance made Soth feel chills in his heart. Soth had not been in contact with the elves before, and Leo was silent. Basically, he doesn't have contact with people other than Rhodes, and many times this elf doesn't have a sense of existence, just silently follows the side. But what surprised Soth was not her character, of course, but her strength.

When Leo reported to Rhodes before, Sos didn't notice Leo's aura at all, if she hadn't taken the initiative to speak, I'm afraid Sos wouldn't have found someone standing in front of him at all, which was a very dangerous signal for Sos, who had already stepped into the middle level of the master. And in the midst of today's battles. Leo's performance was also surprising, as she seemed to know exactly what to do with the undead. Especially the necromancer, but what surprised Soth even more was that judging from Leo's skills, she was actually a killer?!

Is there an elf going to be a killer?

Originally, Soth thought that the reason why Rhodes was willing to help him rebuild the War Law Group was because of the strong strength of the War Law Group, which made Soth still a little proud in his heart. But now. He realized that he had made a complete mistake......... The strength of these people around Rhodes alone is not inferior to himself at all, and they may even be stronger than themselves. You must know that the Lu Dao Battle Law Group itself is also considered a strength in the Dongfang Mountain Plain, and he can achieve the position of deputy head of the group, and his strength does not need to be mentioned. But these young girls around Rhodes are actually more powerful than himself...............

As for Lijie. Although she had only made one move in the entire battle, Soth also knew very well that since Rhodes asked her to come to Dongfang Shanyuan, it naturally showed that she also had enough strength to deal with all this.

When Rhodes and the others walked into the hotel, they quickly attracted the attention of many people. Soth didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he was also a native of Dongfang Mountain, and there were few locals who saw it? But a few other people are very rare, not to mention that whether it is Lijie, Annie, Leo or even Christie, they all have a unique temperament and beauty, and they are naturally quite eye-catching. Of course, Rod is not exempt from vulgarity, his face......... We won't mention it.

However, everyone's attention is concerned, but no one comes out to die to find the ballast, Dongfang Shanyuan is a relatively closed place, and the inhabitants in it are relatively introverted. Things like whistling excitedly to find trouble when you see a beautiful woman in a tavern outside are rarely seen here. Moreover, as a transit point for connecting with the outside world, Zhuye Town has seen a lot of people outside, so naturally it will not be too much of a fuss.

"What do you want, a few guests?"

Seeing Rod and others walk into the hall, soon the boss greeted him with a smile, with his rich experience and vision, the boss could see at a glance that only Rod was the leader among these people, so he came to Rod with a smiling face, and soon began to introduce him enthusiastically.

"We have a lot of delicious dishes here that will suit everyone's tastes, and now in the depths of winter, we have a good berry mead to warm up ..............."

"Bring us some light food, not too greasy, and you can do the rest, five portions of each. By the way, we have to prepare four rooms, which should be the best. You know what to do. ”

Rod didn't plan to listen to the boss to continue the introduction, he casually threw a small piece of diamond over, and then said lightly. And took the diamond in Rod's hand, the boss first squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that this was the real thing, he suddenly saw a joy in front of him——— it was obvious that he had met a distinguished guest!

"Yes. My lord, I'll be ready for you right away......... But ........."

Speaking of this, the boss looked at these people around Rhodes with some curiosity, and couldn't help lowering his voice.

"You said you wanted five portions of each......... Could it be too much? ”

"I'm not afraid to eat enough."

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, you just do it."

After answering the boss's inquiry, Rod glanced at Anne, who was looking around at the moment and was interested in the decoration of the hotel, and replied lightly. Every time he goes out with Anne, the most painful thing for Rhodes is his wallet, which is really as long as he dares to buy it. No matter how much you have, you can eat it all......... Hey, if this is on earth, it is indeed painful for anyone to have such a girlfriend. What's worse is that no matter how much Anne eats, she won't get fat at all. Sometimes Rod looks at Anne's slender figure and can't help but wonder, the little guy eats so much at every meal, where is the nutrition absorbed?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but rub his right hand.

Well, sure enough, it's still boobs.

In the depths of winter. Naturally, there are not many people who come to the Oriental Mountain Plains, only some locals drink here to warm up and chat by the way. However, Rhodes and others are clearly not among them. After receiving a good reward, the innkeeper naturally arranged everyone to a relatively quiet corner, by the roaring fireplace, enjoying the unique scenery outside, which is also a good choice. Originally, Lijie and the others thought that this kind of house made of bamboo would leak air, but now it seems that this strange building is no worse than a house made of stone and wood. It was also a relief to them.

After a day's journey, everyone was more or less tired, and it was naturally their expectation to be able to sit down by the warm stove and eat a steaming meal at this moment. At this time, both Lijie and Anne breathed a sigh of relief, only Leo was still sitting silently next to her. Hiding in the shadows of the campfire, unable to see her expression.

"Christie, how are you feeling?"

Rod looked at the girl sitting next to him and asked softly. At this moment, Christie had taken off the purple cloak outside, her pale cheeks were a little flushed, her breath was a little rapid, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. It seemed to be very tired, but in fact, although everyone had been on the road all day, except for the previous battle, they were basically riding horses and not exercising. But looking at Christie's appearance, it was like running several marathons back and forth, and the whole person was exhausted.

This shows how weak Christie's body is, and Rod is reluctant to let her come with him.

"I......... OK............ Rhodes ............"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Christie hurriedly raised her head, smiled at Rod, and then replied slowly. And hearing Christie's answer, Rod didn't say anything, but reached out and gently helped Christie comb her hair, in fact, Rod himself didn't know what this task was to bring Christie, and he wasn't sure when that "Christie" would come out, was it really okay to run around with the girl like this? Fortunately, Her Royal Highness Lydia gave Christie a "Disease-invincibility" talisman before, otherwise, I'm afraid that Rhodes would have a headache now about Christie's illness.

"Excuse me, did you come all the way to Dongfang Shanyuan?"

At this time, the innkeeper on the side asked curiously. In fact, he was also quite curious, looking at Annie's dress, it was obvious that she was a mercenary, while Rhodes and Christie's dresses were out-and-out nobles. And there are even elves......... I have to say that he has worked here for so many years, and it is rare to see such a strange combination. However, Rod did not answer the boss's inquiry, instead, he glanced at the boss next to him and asked rhetorically.

"I want to ask, I heard before that in the Eastern Mountain Plains, people are being recruited to take back Eagle Peak, is there such a thing?"

"That's right."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, the boss nodded hurriedly, and the fat face that was originally smiling was a little more sad at the moment.

"Well, I'm not happy with you, my lord. Since the Falling Eagle Mountain Peak fell into the hands of the undead army, the rear of this eastern mountain plain is not very peaceful, you must have seen it today, if it were normal, those undead creatures would not have come here at all, but now......... The elders were very unhappy with this, and now they were recruiting people everywhere, intending to take back Eagle Peak. ”

"How's it going?"

Hearing this, Rhodes became interested, and in the face of the guests' inquiries, the innkeeper was naturally a little more interested in chatting.

"It's not bad, I won't tell you, my lord, the strength of our people in Dongfang Shanyuan is not bad, those damn bone frames have been fighting with us for so many years, and I haven't seen them take any advantage. I have heard that there are people everywhere who are now enlisted to go to Biluo Pond at the foot of the peak of Luoying Mountain, and there are quite a few people. I heard that it is still led by the heirs of the twelve elders, so it should not be a big problem to take back Eagle Mountain Peak this time............ Hey, I don't know how the battle group did this time, how did it lose the ............ that fell from the Eagle Mountain Peak"

Hearing the innkeeper's complaint, Soth's expression was naturally very embarrassed, but fortunately, he was sitting in the corner, and everyone couldn't see it. Rhodes glanced at Soth, but it was clear that he wasn't going to dwell on anything.

"We're very interested in this matter, boss, I wonder if you can help us introduce it?"

"You want to join the battle against the Falling Eagle Peak?"

Hearing Rod's words, the boss's eyes widened in surprise, he frowned, looked at Lijie, Anne and Christie——— especially on Christie's body, the boss's gaze stayed for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation.

"It's ............ Well, my lord, the undead are very dangerous, these ladies around you ........."

"I'd like you to get in touch with me."

Before the innkeeper could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Rod. And hearing Rod's answer, the boss could only nod, he has been doing this business for so many years, and his work of observing words and expressions must have been practiced. Listening to Rod's tone, he knew that he didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed, and then quickly turned around and left to prepare dinner for Rod and the others.

The innkeeper was very fast, and it didn't take long for the steaming meal to be served, and I have to say that the dishes were indeed very delicate and delicious, and they were not greasy at all. This excites Anne, and Lizzie and Christie have a great appetite, but Leo is still out of the crowd, eating only a few fruits and drinking some water. However, everyone also knows the habits of the elves, so they don't care.

Especially Anne, this exotic food made her appetizing, and looking at the girl's gobbling up, Rod became more and more sure that he would lose all this money for food today............

And at this time, a tall and thin young man in armor came to them.

"Hello, stranger, I heard that you want to participate in the battle against the Falling Eagle Peak?"

"That's right, you're ..............."

Hearing the man's inquiry, Rhodes turned his head and looked at him carefully. But before Rod could finish speaking, he saw that Soth, who was originally sitting in the corner next to him, stood up suddenly, and his eyes widened in surprise, looking at the man in front of him.

"Are you............... White Nights? ”

Hearing Soth's voice, the young man looked at Soth, and then frowned as if he was remembering something, and after a while, the young man's expression was abrupt, he looked at Soth in surprise, and then spoke.

"Brother?!"
