Chapter 117: Burning Blade in Distress (Part 3)

Looking at the sign in his hand, Rhodes fell into deep thought.

He was no stranger to the Burning Blade, a very powerful and traditional mercenary group that was loved and respected at the same time. This can be seen from the fact that although they have been taking an elevator up and down between the mercenary guild and the mercenary group for several years, few mercenaries choose to leave, which can be seen from the fact that this is a very attractive mercenary group. The head of the regiment, Shearer, is also a very good man, he is calm, courageous, and very intelligent. In the chaos in Rod's memory, it was Shearer who led his mercenary group to stand up and bravely wanted to "set things right", but unfortunately, he was weak after all, and finally disappeared in the "vast sea of the people".

But that was later, and now Rhodes cared about whether this badly injured mercenary was a member of the Burning Blade, and if so, why would he be so embarrassed? The Burning Blade is powerful, and the Twilight Forest is logically nothing that can threaten their existence——— even if they are leisurely traveling with the starlight, could it be that the Burning Blade is in some big trouble?

Rod's first thought was that the Emerald Tears had ambushed the Burning Blade, but he quickly dismissed the idea, because according to the message from Old Walker from the Soul Bird, the mercenaries had been in place the whole time, and it seemed that they had no motivation at all. Rhodes and the others are just "elephants" who came out to travel, but this group of guys who should have belonged to the chasers really came out to travel, and it seems that they really don't care about their own side of the problem. This is completely a bunch of waste scum who only take money and don't work——— but also, will a truly professional person defect for money when his mercenary group is in danger?

Besides, the strength of the Burning Blade is strong, even if the ten Jade Tears are together, they only have the share of crying father and mother, where do they have the courage to attack the Burning Blade? Aren't you afraid of provoking each other and bulldozing them directly? Although it is said that the Mercenary Association has a ban first, if two of the top three mercenary groups plan to completely destroy the Jade Tears, then even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu will no longer be able to protect him, and Frank is not a fool, how could he make such a stupid move?

Holding the badge and thinking about it, Rhodes didn't have a clue in the end, according to the current situation, maybe this member of the Burning Blade mercenary group ran alone to the Dusk Forest to adventure, and then encountered some accident so he was seriously injured and fell off the cliff. This guess is more logical, but this is just a guess, as for what it is, in the end, we will not know until the other party wakes up.

Rhodes quickly ordered everyone to rest in place, there was always a vague feeling in his heart that something was not good, he didn't know where this feeling came from, but Rhodes was still very careful, he once again got in touch with Old Walker through the soul bird, and the answer he got was still that the members of the Emerald Tears mercenary group had no intention of acting.

It doesn't seem that the danger is there.

So, where exactly does it come from?

Rhodes was not able to get the answer he hoped for in the first place, although the mercenary was the most desperate and survived, and was still dragged back from the death line by Lijie's healing technique, but according to Lijie, he was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will not wake up for a while. So Rhodes had no other way but to wait helplessly.

Of course, he sincerely hoped that he wouldn't encounter any troublesome things——— there were enough troublesome things this time.

But that's what life is, the more you don't want something, the more you want it. ..., looking at Lijie standing in front of him at the moment, Rod couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"Do you want to know about Celia?"

"Yes, Mr. Rhodes."

Li Jie tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and doubt.

"I'm really curious about your relationship, is she really your subordinate? Why have I never heard you mention it? ”

“………………”

Rod scratched his head, not knowing how to answer. He's not a magician who hasn't dated a woman, and it turns out that when a woman mentions another woman in front of you, it's usually not a good thing.

He first hoped that the other two would take the opportunity to step up and help him get out of this trouble. But this time Rod is afraid to be disappointed.

Anne slept on the soft grass as always, and it seemed that there was really nothing left of her life except eating, drinking, and merrymaking. And Marlene doesn't know what Lu Dao is doing, and she seems to have been infected with Lijie's problem recently, and at this moment she is putting her hands on her cheeks, wandering out of the world, and she doesn't know what Lu Dao is thinking so obsessed.

In any case, reinforcements are out of the question.

"She's my subordinate, right."

Rhodes was not lying, and from a certain point of view, summoning elves was indeed his own subordinates.

"Hmm......... Because there was a lot going on before, she came to see me and help me once in a while, and that's it. ”

Rod knows very well that when speaking to women, he should be vague and not too clear about the meaning. Men are always too rational and seem to want to explain everything. But in the eyes of women, this is either an insult to their own intelligence, or there is a ghost in their hearts. We're not fools with watery brains, these things are obvious at a glance, and as for the details to the point that she has to say clearly what she wants to buy a twist button or wear a dress?

This is the difference between the way men and women think, for men, it seems that as long as the matter is explained in full detail, then the matter is over, so they don't understand what they say very clearly, but women still have to mess around. But it's different for women, especially when it comes to another woman, you remember so clearly what makeup she put on, what color her nails dyed, and even her motives for coming here, if you don't pay attention to her, do you remember it so clearly?

The mistakes made when he was young, Rod would never make them a second time......... It's all a lesson in blood.

Sure enough, after hearing Rod's answer, Lijie nodded, as if she understood what Rod meant.

Nailed it.

Seeing the girl's expression that although she was still a little confused, but no longer continued to ask, Rod shook his hand in the depths of his heart. Although he didn't know what kind of thoughts Lu Dao Lijie derived from this answer, but since she herself could accept it, then Rod naturally wouldn't bother about this question anymore, in this world, people sometimes know less about the Tao and are happier.

And just then, a painful voice came.

"Woo............"

"He's awake!"

Hearing this, Lijie hurriedly turned around and ran to the tent next to her, and Rod also looked grim and followed suit.

When he walked into the tent, he saw the mercenary who had awakened from a coma gulping water, and looked at him as if he had finally encountered an oasis of hunger and thirst for a man who had lost his way in the desert and was about to die. Lijie sat beside him, carefully holding the water bladder to avoid any problems.

"Whew........."

After drinking a full half of the sack of water, the mercenary finally let out a long sigh, and then he turned his head to look at Rod. ..., "Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving me." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd ........."

"No thanks, just a gesture."

Rod interrupted with a wave of his hand, and then he reached out and handed over the badge.

"It's your thing, isn't it......... I'm curious, as a member of the Burning Blade Mercenary Regiment, how did you end up here with such injuries? ”

"It's ............"

Looking at the badge, the mercenary was slightly stunned, and then, as if he remembered something, he jumped up suddenly.

"By the way, we were attacked! Damn it!! I have to hurry back, oops........."

But no sooner had he gotten up than the sharp pain caused the poor creature to shrank back up, his face blushing, and beads of sweat the size of beans seeping from above, showing how serious his injuries were. And Lijie hurriedly pressed the mercenary's body and made him lie down again.

"You're not able to move yet, you've had a serious injury and you're not completely healed........."

"But, but I can't waste my time here now, I must rush back to the Mercenary Guild and ask for their help...... Damn ........."

"Did something go wrong with the Burning Blade?"

Hearing this mercenary's words, Rhodes frowned, it seemed that the worst premonition in his heart had come true. But Rhodes was still very puzzled, in the Twilight Forest, what could make a powerful mercenary group so embarrassed, even to the point of having to ask for help from the Mercenary Association?

"Yes, Mr. ———."

The man looked at Rhodes carefully, and hurriedly changed the tragedy that he almost said.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment."

"That's right, it's me."

Although the pronunciation of the previous word made Rod raise his eyebrows, but since the other party knew how to correct it, then he pretended not to hear it.

"Can you tell me what's going on? If necessary, I think I might be able to help. ”

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

Hearing this, perhaps the man also knew that his injuries were serious and he was unable to carry out the task. So in desperation, he had to sigh, and then told the matter as quickly as possible.

It turned out that after the mercenary joint meeting, Shearer led his mercenary group into the Twilight Forest, firstly, this is a shortcut back to their location in Breeze City, and secondly, Shearer also has the same idea as Rod, wanting to use the Twilight Forest to hone his men, although there will be a one-month ban period, but as a mercenary, it is important to maintain a sense of battle at all times.

At first, it went very well, but then something went wrong, and for some reason, the Burning Blade stepped into the territory of the Wind Snake, and then they were naturally attacked by the Wind Snake. At the beginning, everyone didn't take these wind snakes seriously, after all, they were the more common monsters in this area. But then things developed beyond everyone's imagination, and the number of wind snakes became more and more, and by the time they felt that something was wrong, they were completely surrounded by the wind snake group.

In this case, it is almost impossible to get out. And Shearer also made a quick decision, sent people to form an assault team, forcibly broke through the encirclement of the wind snake, and tried to find someone to help.

But unfortunately, their luck was not good this time, no matter how weak the ants were, millions of them were enough to scare people to death. The same is true of the wind snake, although the assault team finally barely broke through the encirclement of the wind snake, but it was also seriously injured, and this mercenary, as the last survivor, panicked under the pursuit of the wind snake, and then fell off the cliff, fortunately he should not die, so he barely survived.

"Surrounded by a swarm of wind snakes?"

After listening to the mercenary's story, Rod's first feeling was incredible, a group of wind snakes is only a few hundred at most, this number is enough for an ordinary mercenary team, but it shouldn't be enough to see a well-equipped mercenary group?

"How many of them are?"

Hearing this question, the mercenary, who had already calmed down, once again had a frightened expression on his face.

"Thousands! There are thousands of them! ”

Hearing this, Rod's heart sank.

He raised his head and glanced at Lijie, and the girl at this moment also clenched her fists, as if she had thought of something, and looked at Rod.

It seems that they all guessed.
