Rhodes closed the door and reached out to straighten his clothes before turning to look at Serek next to him. The latter looked at Rhodes with a helpless wry smile, and behind the door he could faintly hear things colliding and breaking and someone yelling and scolding in a low voice.

"Are you going to go too far? Rod? ”

Serek shook his head.

"Anyway, it's ......... too"

"Okay, Mr. Serek, you don't have to sing white faces here, I know that the Mercenary Association doesn't care about this at all."

Rod waved his hand.

"I'm not too demanding, am I? You see that the elders have accepted it, and it is not a burden for you. And I'm right, it's true that it would be a hassle for everyone to always cancel the places in the Pafield area, but it won't be so serious........."

Although it is indeed so serious in fact, of course, Rod can't be too careful——— it is definitely not a smart choice to let the other party know his bottom line before buying goods.

"Okay, I'll not say that."

Seeing that Rod's attitude was so resolute, Serek had no choice but to say nothing more.

"I'll ask you about the personnel you're asking for, but I'll tell you that I can't make a decision on this, and I need them to agree. By the way, you still don't have enough manpower, do you have any other plans? ”。

"I can only look at it for the time being."

Rhodes didn't have a good solution to this problem. There aren't many talented NPCs in Deep Rock, and even fewer can be hired by players, and the rest of Parfield does have some very good NPCs, but it's not easy for them to go with the players——— in the game, players have to complete the personal quests of these NPCs before they can take them away. The latest chapter of the Templar is not short of time for these personal quests. Now that it's changed, I don't know how long it will take...... Whether or not you can find someone is even more of a big problem. But now Rhodes only has two months, not to mention that he has to find someone to run in, even if it is a player PVP, he has to play more than a dozen battlefield warm-ups to warm up and familiarize himself, and it is a dream to bring one person back so that he can integrate into the whole team. But the only thing that reassures Rhodes is that most of the people here don't have many skills and are not complicated, unlike players, there are thousands of people, and everyone's skills and talents are different. This will at least give him a head start on how to judge his enemies when fighting.

"If you're okay, I can find a few people from the mercenary group to take a look, they were all almost forcibly disbanded before, and now that the ban period is halfway over, they haven't found enough manpower, I think they have good experience and some strength, if you need it, I can go and help you get in touch."

"No problem, but I'm going to take those four spirit masters with me now."

"Now?"

Hearing Rod's answer, Serek was a little surprised, and he looked at Rod meaningfully before speaking.

"Mr. Rod, don't say anything else, the girls in our mercenary association are all innocent and clean people, don't you think about some things, if it's really such a thing, I can't help you? Besides, there are a lot of girls around you. ”

"I need them to help me treat an injury."

Rod was too lazy to say anything to Serecto, and he directly stated his purpose.

"She's badly injured, and Lijie is having a hard time on her own, and I'd like to have their experience to get a check-up on that girl."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Serek was a little surprised, and then he did not hesitate, but quickly nodded

"No problem, I'll get them ready to go right away." ..., the four spirit masters did not refuse Rod's invitation, after all, after that life-and-death battle, they all had a good impression of this young man, and now they heard that Rhodes needed their help, and the spirit masters quickly agreed, they packed up their things, and then followed Rhodes to the stronghold of the Starlight Mercenary Group.

Like the others, the girls were surprised when they saw Christy, and they thought there was something between Christy and Rod. However, as professional spirits hired by the mercenary association, they were very professional and did not ask anything, but soon cooperated with Lijie to start treating Christy.

"Christy, no problem."

Standing at the door, looking at the closed wooden door with a hint of unease, Marlene frowned slightly and asked.

"It shouldn't be a problem."

Rhodes didn't say much, he just frowned and began to think about what was next——— frankly, the elder had caused him a problem. Now in the entire Starlight Mercenary Group, from Rod's point of view, only Marlene is qualified to deal with the guild elite-level mercenaries, but even she is still slightly lacking in experience, mercenaries are not knights, and they don't want to die. Some people will even deliberately divert the attention of the other party by revealing some embarrassing parts during the battle, and Rod is sure that if Marlene suddenly takes off her pants in front of her while fighting, the eldest lady will be immediately overwhelmed.

As for Lijie——— her skills in micro-manipulation are elite-level, but the flaw is that she has no experience in fighting against people, which is also the reason why Lijie always has a slightly soft personality. And it's really hard for a spirit master to excel in PvP battles......

Anne's qualities and talents are good, but she is mainly defensive, and she is not able to play her role well in team battles. Shanna's experience is enough, but unfortunately the huge gap in strength makes her have little to play, as for Lando and Joey...... Hey, if a few rookies who have been mercenaries for less than two years can defeat a group of elites who have been fighting between life and death for more than ten years or more, then it will really be hell.

After thinking about it, Rod felt that it was not very likely that he could really make any waves at the Midsummer Festival by relying on his current group of people. Although he himself is definitely fine, but if his subordinates don't give it their way, they will be unlucky...... Maybe I should go find a few missions to encircle and suppress the bandits, so that these greenhouse flowers can really experience the killing of human beings by each other?

If it really doesn't work, Rhodes can only rely on his own strength to solve these troubles. The group of swordsmen summoned was still very effective in this regard, but in this way, it would make Rhodes very disappointed in his team, because he had worked hard to establish this mercenary group, not for the sake of show. If that were the case, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

But on the other hand, this is also a test, the sooner they can fight with elite-level figures, the more beneficial it will be for their growth, and Rod does not expect these people to burst out and stage a big show of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. It doesn't matter if they lose badly at the beginning, as long as they have enough experience, there is always a chance to get back on the field in the future.

"You seem to be troubled, Mr. Rhodes."

Marlene looked at Rhodes with some concern, hesitated, and then spoke.

"There is a very troublesome test that we will face......... But it's useless to talk about that now, I'll arrange everything. Aren't you going to take a break? Miss Marlene? ”

"No need."

Marlene shook her head slightly at Rod's question, then she turned her head away and continued to look at the wooden door. ..., "I'll wait and see here." ”

"Where's Annie?"

"She's in the kitchen......... She said she was going to find something good for Christie, but I guess she'll take care of her stomach first......"

While the two were chatting, Shanna came over in a hurry, she saluted Rhodes, and then immediately spoke.

"Report to your lord, Lord Serek is here. And he also brought three people. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Shanna's report, Rod raised his eyebrows with some curiosity.

"Who?"

"They're all the leaders of the mercenary group, and according to Master Serek, they all seem interested in joining your team."

"That's ........."

Hearing this, Rhodes nodded, then patted Marlene on the shoulder, and followed Shanna down the stairs.

As soon as he entered the hall, Rhodes saw Serek sitting in a chair, along with three heavily armed men.

The man sitting in the middle immediately attracted Rod's attention.

He was unusually burly, looking more than two meters tall, looking like an iron tower from a distance, and his sun-tanned face was smiling heartily, talking and laughing loudly with Serek beside him. Unlike the other two mercenary captains in leather armor, the man was dressed in heavy iron armor, and behind him, he also carried a tall two-handed sword. At this moment, he was dancing with his hands, chatting and laughing with Serek enthusiastically, and seemed to be completely unconcerned about what would happen next.

And the other two mercenary captains beside him also have their own characteristics, a middle-aged man with a somewhat "plump" figure is listening to the chat between the two of them, his white face is full of the atmosphere of the city, he looks more like a businessman than a mercenary. But even so, Rod could see his true strength from the pair of daggers that flew nimbly between his fingers. The other mercenary leader had a serious face, a straight figure, and looked at the front meticulously. From his posture and expression, it can be seen that this is a soldier of military origin and has received orthodox military training.

It seems that Serek has really put a lot of effort into himself.

Thinking of this, Rod narrowed his eyes and began to calculate......,
