Everyone only raised his hand when they saw him one moment, and the next moment his figure disappeared instantly, and the snow-white and bright blade flashed with the sound of breaking through the air, stabbing directly into Olander's right hand.

What a speed!

In the face of Rod's sudden attack, Outlander was shocked in his heart, although he had been mentally prepared before, but what he saw with his eyes was completely different from what he actually experienced. He only felt a flower in front of him, and then he saw that Rod's sword blade had pierced his right hand.

In the face of the attack, Olland had to choose to retreat and was forced to leave Helen. At this time, he no longer had any expectations for completing the task, the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, and now the only way to choose to escape was to escape. Thinking of this, Oland no longer hesitated, rolled backwards in the face of Rod's attack, and then jumped up suddenly, flying towards the bushes next to him.

However, Rhodes clearly did not intend to let him get his way.

Rode, who pierced the air with a sword, did not choose to retreat, on the contrary, looking at the figure that was leaving quickly, the corners of Rode's mouth were slightly upturned, and an imperceptible smile flashed from his face. Then, the piercing sword in his hand paused slightly, and moved forward again.

The already ready beams of light burst out from the sword, spiraling and splitting and roaring forward, as if it had been prepared for a long time towards Olander not far away.

Rod's sword was obviously a bit strange, because the Shattered Blade didn't shoot straight at the figure not far in front of him as the others thought, but instead swayed diagonally towards the figure, and it seemed to be a miss, not only Ben who was standing in the distance, but even Lijie and Mace, who poked their heads out of the carriage, had the same idea.

But in the next moment, their eyes widened in surprise.

Because at this moment, Olander, who was originally running backwards, suddenly jumped up and took the initiative to meet Rhode's attack.

In fact, while jumping, Olander already sensed that something was wrong, which was also a habitual move of the thieves, and when they retreated, in order to avoid the attack of the pursuers behind them, they instinctively had to do some dodging movements. And the reason why Oland jumped up was to avoid Rhodes' attack. But he didn't expect that Rhodes actually predicted his actions in advance, and instead of dodging this jump, he put himself on the knife edge!

At this moment, Olander was shocked in his heart, he wanted to change his position, but it was too late.

With the cooperation of Olland's "selflessness", the Shattering Blade struck Olander's right shoulder and back of the heart impartially, and the poor thief only had time to let out a scream before flying straight out of the bush and falling headlong into the bushes.

It was only then that Rhodes put away his sword, and then walked slowly towards Olander.

"Uh......... Ah.........h

Lying in the bushes, enduring the pain in his shoulders and back, Olander clenched his teeth, and when he heard the footsteps, he subconsciously wanted to run away, but before he could stand up, the white blade pierced his right hand like lightning.

"Ahh

Oldland's heart-rending screams made everyone's hearts tighten, but Rhodes still looked calm, as if it was nothing. This also made everyone's evaluation of Rod change again, and it was obvious that it was definitely not normal for this young man to still have a unchanged face in the face of such a scene.

However, Rod doesn't think so, and he doesn't do it because he is deliberately vicious, it's just a habit in the game. After all, in the game, the player's despicable and shameless sneak attack is more professional and vicious, and these people in the game are not afraid of being hurt if they are injured. So the only way to keep these guys and prevent them from escaping or going offline is to keep them in combat mode at all times. And Rod's sword is actually just a continuation of his habit in online games, seeing that the other party is about to run, he instinctively stabbed out the long sword in his hand as soon as possible, in order to avoid the other party's "forced offline." ”

However, after the sword shot and heard Olander's screams, Rod realized that this was reality and not a game——— but it didn't matter.

Putting aside the boring thoughts in his head, Rhodes walked to the side of the man in black, and then, he reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword, and slowly pulled it up.

"Ahh.........hh Ahh!!!!hhh ”

Outlander was almost rolling his eyes in pain at the moment, his right hand had begun to twitch involuntarily because he couldn't bear the pain beyond the limit, and even the empty left hand was no longer able to stop Rod at the moment, he could only instinctively hammer the ground, and this scene was also chilling in the eyes of others, they had never seen such a cruel scene, although the other party was the enemy who attacked him, but it was really chilling to see him fall into such a fate. …,

Lijie stood in the distance, quietly looking at Rod with an unchanged face, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, and at this moment, she recalled once again what Rod said to herself in the hotel before.

"I don't say this to repay you for saving your life, Lijie, I have brought you out, and we have nothing to owe in this regard, you don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything. I can tell you that I'm not doing this to repay the favor, I have my purpose, so I need to do my best, and that's why I'm making this proposal for what I'm doing. I can assure you that in less than two years' time, I'll be growing it into a powerful mercenary guild, but I also want to warn you that there's a good chance I'll take some steps that you can't accept. So, I hope you'll think it through, Lijie. If you are willing to accept my proposal, then you must first be mentally prepared to do so. I will not allow anyone to get in my way, and I will not allow anyone to stand in my way. I have my reasons, but you don't need to know the Tao right now......... I can understand your feelings, so I won't force you to say yes, but I have to warn you of the consequences of saying yes——— it may be more than you can afford. ”

At that time, Lijie didn't know much about Rod's words, but she admitted that she was indeed shocked by Rod's speech, but on the other hand, deep in the girl's heart, she also had a little peace of mind. After all, Rhodes must have said to her that he did have intentions, although this sounds a little difficult to accept, but it is indeed more convincing than the other party helping him unconditionally. It's just that she still doesn't understand what about a mercenary group that is about to dissolve is favored by Rhodes, but since Rhodes is unwilling to explain, then she can't continue to ask.

And now, after seeing this scene, Lijie's heart has begun to loosen a little, before he attacked Helen, not to mention that Ben and the others didn't expect it, even Lijie herself didn't think of it. After that, she was able to seize the time to cast the Guardian Shield on Helen purely as a flash of inspiration in Lijie's own mind, not the product of a tacit understanding with Rod. And because of this battle, Lijie's heart seems to have finally understood what Rod meant.

What I thought before was very simple, as long as I recruited some more people, and then gritted my teeth to take on the task, I would be able to keep the mercenary group. But is it really that simple? Li Jie has not been a mercenary for a year or two, she knows how cruel the world of mercenaries is, everyone is here to survive, the Moon Bow Mercenary Group used to be a medium-sized mercenary group, but now it has become like this, she has seen with her own eyes how the mercenary group like her own family is in decline.

Can you do it yourself? Rebuild the mercenary group?

Li Jie asked herself if she couldn't do it, even the original head of the regiment, Carter, although he was very easy to get along with on weekdays, would show his cold and firm side from time to time. But Lijie felt that this was something she couldn't do, she didn't have the ability, and she didn't want to do it.

Thinking of this, Lijie couldn't help but set her eyes on Rhodes.

He didn't tell himself what he wanted, but his expression was so determined, without a trace of confusion and doubt.

And what about yourself? For the sake of her dreams, for her own goals, how should she do it?

Thinking of this, the girl bit her lower lip tightly and held her hands.

And just when Lijie was deciding about his future, Rhodes had already leisurely drawn his long sword, he glanced at the blood stains on the sword, shook it away, and then looked at the man in black who was rolling in pain under his feet.

"Although I think you should understand what I want to ask, but in order to avoid you pretending to be confused, I would like to ask one more question, who are you and what do you want to do?"

"Uh............ Woo............"

Holland curled up, barely able to make out a complete sentence from the pain of the piercing of his right hand, and he looked up at the young man in front of him. I can't figure out why I would be so unlucky and provoke such a character.

"I ...... I......... I'm ............"

The fear of the enemy and the physical pain had worn down Orland's will, and he was now almost completely incapable of resisting, and could only answer Rhodes's questions in a low voice. But before he finished speaking, the huge pain in the back of his right hand made him gasp again. However, in Rod's eyes, there seems to be a new explanation. …,

"You don't want to say? Forget it, I'm not very interested anyway. ”

"I, I'm Vice President Clay's subordinate!!"

Hearing Rod's words, Olander was so frightened that he forgot the injury on the back of his hand, and hurriedly shouted, if he would rather die than give in, he could still accept it, if he was killed by the other party because he didn't catch his breath for a word, it would really be unjust...... He didn't want to report to that world so early.

"Vice President Clay?"

Hearing the name, Rod's sword paused slightly.

"The Merchants' Guild?"

"Yes, yes."

"What is your purpose?"

"Tie up, kidnap Miss Helen. All I know is these ......."

The star's white and sharp blade was attached to Olander's face, and the cold touch made him swallow his saliva subconsciously, he had completely lost his square inch now, and he only hoped that this young man would be merciful. And at this moment, he saw Rod nod, and then said, "I know the truth." ”

Then, Ollander only felt a chill on his neck, and with the invasion of cold air, darkness completely enveloped his world.

Retracting his sword, Rod turned and returned to the carriage. At this time, the eyes of everyone looking at him were completely different from before, and Helen sat on the side with the support of the attendants, looking at Rod with a complicated expression. Ben coughed, and then stepped forward.

"This ......... Thank you for your help, sir. ”

Although Rhodes' behavior has little to do with "helping", the result is good after all.

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture."

Rod nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more. On the contrary, Ben hesitated, and only after a moment did he ask.

"Excuse me......... Who is the other party? ”

"They said they were sent by Vice President Clayter to kidnap Miss Helen."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Ben was shocked, as the head of the guard of a business family, he still knew a lot about this.

"You're saying these people were sent by the Merchants' Guild?"

"He said so, whether it was or not, in fact, I don't care."

Rod waved his hand, then turned away.

"I'm just asking casually anyway."
