A bustling crowd poured into the arena.

Battle leaned back in his chair, his hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes closed, beside him, the noise was endless, several subordinates who were preparing to appear were sitting at the table, drinking and laughing in a low voice, it seemed that they didn't seem to take this sacred sacrifice to heart at all, and in the face of the behavior of these guys, Battle had no intention of stopping it, he just closed his eyes and waited for the next battle.

I have to say that although Battle is a rough man, as a mercenary veteran who has been rolling in life and death for many years, he does not underestimate his opponent because of this. Although the outside world is very optimistic about them, and there are many people who think that Starlight took shit luck to win, but for Battle, he does not agree with this statement. Indeed, the claims that have been circulated in the taverns are valuable and quite convincing. But Battle trusted his own senses more, and the strange and dangerous feeling he felt when he met Rhodes——— as if a lonely, proud, powerful wolf was lurking in the grass, ready to strike a fatal blow to its careless prey. This is definitely not something that the little white face who relies only on luck to achieve victory can do.

Let me experience the strength of you.

The horn sounded, and Battle opened his eyes and stood up.

"Alright, boys, cheer me up, this is the first stop for Purple Lily, if any of the bastards messes up our appearance, be careful Lao Tzu goes back and beats him into meat sauce! Do you hear that? ”

"Yes! Top dog!! ”

Hear Battle speak. The rest of the people immediately raised their hands and greeted loudly, judging from their performance, it was really hard to imagine that this would be an elite member of a powerful mercenary guild, just looking at their current performance, people who don't know the truth would think that this is the most reluctant mobilization of the bandit leader and his subordinates before the robbery.

Only the ugly-looking woman, who had been standing quietly behind Battle, did not answer. She simply picked up the white mask she had at hand and put it on her face, then reached out and straightened out the dagger and dagger pinned to her waist. Then he quietly followed behind Battle like a shadow and walked out of the common room.

Battle had expected it to be a very hard, and very self-defeating duel.

At least that's what he thought before.

But when he walked out of the passage. When he came to the ring and saw the opponent's lineup clearly, Battle immediately frowned.

Rod, Annie, Lizzie, Joey, Labis, and Lando were standing quietly, their expressions looking nonchase, but almost everyone could see the problem.

Seven Love and Marlene are not among them.

What's going on?

Battle frowned. Any discerning person can see how important those two girl mages are to Rod, and in the previous duel, if it weren't for the strength of Marlene and Seven Loves, then Rod's starlight would definitely be properly eliminated. So during training, Battle also listed these two girls as dangerous people to pay close attention to on his side. But now, they didn't show up? What's going on?

Could it be that in the first battle, the two of them ran out of strength?

Battle shook his head, this statement was too implausible, since their previous battle with the Heavenly Sword. But in my eyes, in the face of the elite of the Heavenly Sword Guild, these two girls almost didn't even yawn and easily dealt with each other, especially Carter's unlucky guy, who was almost fiddled with by the girl with the fox tail and ears like a doll in the palm of her hand. …,

So, what's going on right now?

At this moment, not only Battle, but also the surrounding spectators noticed the abnormality, and all kinds of noisy noises immediately enveloped the entire arena. Many of these people were not able to watch the first battle, and they heard the story of the mythical young mage from their friends, and they wanted to witness the gorgeous magic battle with their own eyes.

But the reality is far more cruel than dreams. They didn't see the figure of Seven Love and Marlene, which made many people a little disappointed, just like they were looking forward to the concert of the emperor's superstar, but after the opening, they found out that it was actually a third-rate star.

Disappointed expectations are not a good experience.

Of course, Rod was also aware of these surging distractions, but at this moment he was also powerless about them, and he didn't expect this, but what happened to Marlene yesterday really disrupted Rode's plans, although it was indeed cool to get home last night, but because of this, with the current physical condition of Marlene, it is impossible to stabilize and continue to exert strength, not to mention that the effect of the drug has only faded recently, and it is not a good idea to force her to fight.

And the reason why Seven Love didn't come was because Rod needed her to spy on the pair of dog men and women, in fact, as early as after castrating that guy, Rod recognized the identity of the other party——— it was not an easy character and character to provoke, but what surprised Rod even more was that with his identity, he really dared to attack Marlene.

It seems that I can't wait.

Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly understood a little, why did Marlene's personality change so much in the game, think about it carefully, if this matter is really as he thought, then in the history of the game, without his own rescue, Marlene may fall into the other party's way, which is naturally intolerable for this arrogant lady, so it doesn't seem too strange for her to set up a mercenary group that only has women, but discriminates against and expells men.

However, what puzzled Rod was that if this was the case, then according to Seven Love, that kind of drug should have completely controlled Marlene's mind and mind, so in the game. How did she escape this? It is impossible for an existence like oneself to be able to deal with the higher devils and obtain the antidote from them.

However, doubts are doubts, Rod still left Seven Love to supervise the pair of dog men and women, although after they were brought back by Seven Love, they were poured two bottles of Sleep Potion by Rhodes, Irabis's skills and alchemy effect, these two bottles of medicine are enough for them to sleep until today next year. But with caution. Rhodes was still not careless——— after all, these two people are also the culprits of Marlene's fall to this point, as long as they are in their own hands, then everything is easy to say. But if they escape. Then things are in trouble.

In the midst of conspiracy and competition, Rhodes still has a clear distinction between which is more important than the other.

But this way. He had to face an awkward situation——— which was the way he was now.

Although Rod's first target is indeed the Wings of Freedom, it doesn't mean that he doesn't take the Purple Lily Guild to heart, Battle's "Rock Sword" is huge and amazing, and it is not something that ordinary people can stop at all. It can even be said that in a face-to-face frontal charge, even Rod himself was not sure. After all, his swordsmanship style is not the type to resist head-on. Not to mention that the "Snow Girl" Paris and "Storm" Heyman and others beside him are not fuel-efficient lamps, without the double insurance of Seven Love and Marlene, Rod is really gambling this time............ That's not what he likes. …,

In fact, even Lijie and Anne and others are not on the arena for the most part. Yesterday Rod came back very late, and Seven Love helped him cover up part of the truth, and everyone only knew that someone wanted to be unfavorable to Marlene, but was stopped by Rode. Exactly what the details are, they don't know. But even that didn't put them at ease. As Marlene's childhood sweetheart, Lijie has a deep relationship, so she is naturally extremely worried about Marlene's situation at this time. And although Anne and Marlene have not known each other for a long time, the relationship between the two is already quite good, and they are already furious when they hear that someone dares to be unfavorable to Marlene. I can't wait to wave my shield and smash the other party into pulp at once. And Labis and the others were also panting in their hearts, not knowing what to do. When something like this happened, everyone was a little panicked, even if Rod himself was calm, he was just one person, and it was impossible to guarantee that everyone would be like him. However, the second battle was on the morning of the third day, and Rhodes couldn't solve it when he wanted to find a time, so in desperation, he could only bite the bullet and then act at the opportunity.

Damn it.

As soon as he thought of this, Rod couldn't help gritting his teeth, feeling a little headache, it was not a trivial matter for him to overturn the plan and start over, fortunately, it was not the first time that Rod encountered such a thing in the game, there were many times when he tried his best to organize and cooperate with the team in order to be able to open up the wasteland smoothly, but before the start was always someone who could not come for one reason or another, forcing Rod not to temporarily modify the plan. So it's not that tricky for him.

It's just that the effect is only up to fate.

At this moment, there was a lot of discussion on the side of the arena, but the sound of the horn sounded without any interference, and when the low and loud horn sound was heard, the originally noisy arena was also much quieter. Then, the mercenary who was the referee raised his hand and motioned for both sides to play.

A burly, eye-catching figure walked up to the stage, suffocating everyone.

Battle strode into the ring, he shouldered the giant sword, with a smile to the center of the ring, then he waved his hand, and then saw the giant sword suddenly fly into the sky, and then slammed into the ring, and Battle held the hilt of the sword in one hand, while raising his head, with a proud smile, glanced at Rod, and then he turned his head to look at the referee on the side.

"I ask for a change in the rules......... Ring Race! ”

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and many of them quickly understood the significance of Battle's actions. And Rod also raised his eyebrows, at this moment, he immediately understood Battle's thoughts. Obviously, this apparently five-year-old man must have done some research on Starlight before, and it was clear from his first appearance that Battle's idea was this time——— he wanted to minimize his advantage in order to win.

Not to mention that now, Marlene and Seven Love are not there, and the rest of the people are ......... Lijie and Anne weren't strong enough to stand up to Battle, let alone the others.

So.........

Come to think of it. Rod looked up.

It seems that this time, you can only rely on yourself.

"Lijie."

Thinking of this, Rod had already made a decision in his heart, he waved his hand, and hearing his greeting, Lijie hurriedly came to Rode's side.

"I'll go first, and you'll get ready......... If I can't support it. They need to be on top at any time, and when that time comes, Anne will go first. Lijie put it at the back of the line, so that Lando could get ready. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, Mr. Rhodes. I understand. ”

Hearing this, Lijie was a little surprised, but she nodded hurriedly, then turned to the others and informed them of Rod's order. Rhodes glanced back at the group, then shook his head, then reached out and grabbed the sword at his waist and stepped into the ring. "Yo, boy, you're finally coming up." ”

Looking at Rod's figure. Battle grinned and laughed happily.

"I thought you would back down, after all, I think you are the kind of person who can fight ghosts."

"I'm also a man, and a man can't back down."

Rod's face was slightly gloomy, and he knew that Battle was intentionally or unintentionally referring to himself as a woman and acting like a woman. Originally, if Marlene and Qilian were there, he wouldn't have been able to make such senseless provocations. But now that Battle has seen through his weaknesses, there is nothing he can do but give it a go.

"That's right, that's right, gentlemen. I like it! ”

Hearing Rod's answer, Battle smiled and gave him a thumbs up, which made Rode, who was originally waiting for him, a little helpless, he hadn't heard the rumors of the lack of a string in the brain of the president of the Purple Lily Guild, but only when he was face to face with him, he would find that there was more than just a lack of string in his mind.

"But in the future, I won't give up on victory."

Rod bent down slightly, staring at the other party with a sinking face, he reached out and pressed the hilt of his sword, made a gesture of drawing his sword, and then shot his sharp gaze at Battle, and then said coldly.

"I'm the same, if you want me to lose, just show your real skills!"

Facing Rod's cold gaze, Battellha smiled, and then with a twist of his right wrist, the heavy giant sword was actually picked up by him with one hand!

Not only that, but Battle stretched out his left hand, then placed it on the hilt of the sword behind his right hand, and then pulled hard.

"Whoa!!"

The giant sword, which was originally dozens of centimeters thick, was now split into two under Battle's hand, from a heavy giant sword to two, their ends were connected to each other by chains, and the entire sword body showed a dull and dull body, looking like a dilapidated weapon buried in the ground for many years, but seeing this scene, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly.

Rock Chopper.

In the game, this greatsword is one of the most beloved weapons of the Greatsword Warrior, it has extremely high damage, but relatively low requirements for strength. Before the player's attributes are not enough to support them to use a weapon that requires a lot of strength such as the Sword of the Mountain Stream, the Rock Chopper is a very good excess, not to mention that its special ability can make it split in two, so that its damage can be multiplied, of course, because most of the players in the game do not know how to fight left and right, and they can't do the right and left hands can fight flexibly, so this attribute is at most to increase some damage in their hands.

But for the original owner of this sword, these are certainly not a problem.

The Rock Chopping Sword has additional land attributes, a 30% increase in combat power on the earth, a 100% armor piercing, and a one-third chance of being crippled, any of which is a headache for Rhodes. But luckily, his construction refining is not a dry meal.

Thinking of this, Rod pressed his body even deeper, his eyes locked on Battle's body. And the burly swordsman also felt the battle intent emanating from Rhodes at this moment, he restrained his smile, raised his long sword with both hands, and crossed it in an X-shape to block it in front of him.

There was silence throughout the arena.

It's not that these spectators suddenly learned to appreciate the game in a civilized manner, nor did they suddenly bless their hearts and understand the truth that friendship comes first and competition comes second. But at the same time as these two people put on a posture, they suddenly felt an unprecedented, powerful sense of oppression and impact. Behind Rod, onlookers felt a cold in the air, a howling wind that seemed to blow through the polar winds of the North, enough to freeze everything in the world. Under this chill,..., and behind Battle, the onlookers were no better, if Rod brought a kind of cold cold. Then these people were like sacrifices almost buried alive in the earth, and they felt that their bodies were extremely heavy, and the whole person was like a fish on the shore, breathing in the air, but they did not dare to make any sound. It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their heads, and if they dared to break the silence, the mountain would fall in an instant, crushing them into meat sauce.

"Holy, Holy Soul is on ........."

Looking at this scene in front of them, Kavos and Shanna couldn't help but gasp, after all, they were also former mercenary captains, naturally well-informed, and at this moment they felt this suffocating chill, and they quickly understood what was happening in front of them.

Sword intent manifestation, top master swordsmanship!!

Their eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the figure of the young man standing in the ring, although Rhodes has always been very powerful, but most of the time, his battles are basically completed with those summoned elves, so that in the eyes of Shanna and others, there will be an illusion that "Rhodes' swordsmanship is very strong, and it will become stronger with those strange summoned elves". Most of them focused on Rhodes' summoning elves, and unconsciously ignored each other's swordsmanship. At most, it's just speculation that Rhodes is either close to the master level, or has just stepped into the master swordsmanship realm.

But it wasn't until today, after Rhodes showed his strength in front of them without reservation, that they were surprised to find that this young man was not the kind of genius who would have a promising future in time, but a powerful person who had completely stepped into the realm of the strong——— and could make the sword intent manifest in such an obvious way, and the scope of influence was so wide, which was enough to show that Rhodes' swordsmanship itself was far beyond their imagination. You must know that even if he is a Burning Blade Hiller, although he has a power equivalent to that of a master, he has not reached the level where he can manifest his sword intent.

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but subconsciously glance at each other, how could they really be able to have the honor to work for him under such a strong man? Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but be a little secretly happy, being able to follow such a strong man's side, then there would definitely be no need to think about it in the future.........

Very good!

Faced with this overwhelming cold air that seemed to be whistling down from the top of the North Peak, Battle grinned, he was very happy to be able to fight such a powerful opponent, he expressed his attitude, and Rhodes responded unreservedly. This is enough for men, and then the next thing is to communicate without words.

Battle narrowed his eyes and looked at each other seriously through the gap between the two swords.

And Rod also felt the momentum of the other party like a mountain, the kind of toughness that his cold wind did not move no matter how it blew, that was the strength of Battle.

And at this time, the referee, who had already been in pain between the sword intent of the two sides, finally seemed to be unable to bear this strange feeling, and ran to the side like a desperate escape, and then, his raised right hand waved down.

"Whew!!"

At the moment when the referee's arm fell, Rod's figure disappeared in an instant, and Battle shouted, and the two giant swords were raised high, and then slammed into the ground.

The earth roared, and the violent vibration continued from the ring to the surrounding audience, and the solid bluestone slabs also cracked under this crazy and powerful force, like a spider's web, the whistling air flow crossed over, and the X-shaped sword qi roared and rushed to the other side of the ring, and the sharp stone thorns along the way continued to rise and fall like waves, blooming in all directions.

And at that moment, a bright red light flashed through it, and then turned into a bolt of lightning, piercing straight into Battle's eyes. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
