It was an unforgettable scene for Rod.

Smoke billowed from the aftermath of the explosion and flames raged between the ruins and ruins, and people cried and screamed, pulling at their loved ones as they tried to escape from this once prosperous place. Behind them were tens of thousands of undead legions, and above their heads, the dark clouds of the dark dragon souls, like ink dripping into the clear water, dyeing the entire sky black, and even the sunlight was cut off, obscuring behind this heavy curtain.

Rhodes stood on the high platform, staring blankly at all this in front of him, at that time he was just an ordinary player, he never thought that an online game would be so real, in order to block the attack of the Dark Dragon, the players of the Principality of Moon died again and again, dropping one level after another, but they still could not stop the footsteps of the Dark Dragon, and they were not able to stop the advance of the undead army. They have not been able to protect their homes............ At that time, on the forum, many players thought that this was the historical setting of the game, because at that time, the player's highest level was only level 50, but in the Dark Dragon Legion, those elite legion mobs had level 40, and the commander of the legion was more than level 60 monsters. Such a large army combined with the difference in level made it impossible for players to resist the attack of the Dark Dragon.

Rod, on the other hand, was one of the highest-level players at the time.

In order to stop the footsteps of the Dark Dragon Legion, he once entered the Dark Dragon Pioneer Barracks alone three times in a row to kill the general, and succeeded twice, but also failed twice. And just when Rhodes was about to try again, he received a system task and came to the most rearly fortress place in the Golden City.

It used to be the most sacred and beautiful place in the entire Golden City, but now it is a ruined wreckage, littered with corpses and blood.

And at this moment, footsteps came from behind Rod.

He turned to look. I saw Litia slowly walking out of it, she was wearing a white, spotless luxury dress, and the shining gold and silver threads were extremely dazzling. At the girl's waist, hanging were two long swords as beautiful and elegant as her.

"I am this country, this country is glorified because of me, I am proud of this country, these people belong to me, and only I am qualified to decide their fate and life and death——— this is the last order I have given in my capacity as the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Moon, I command you to live. For your own sake, and for my sake, to protect them from here, and this is the ultimate glory that belongs to me, and even now, I will not allow the Dark Dragon to take the lives of my people without my permission, I will do what I say. ”

At that time, Litia's words still echo in Rod's ears to this day. Until the last moment, the Grand Duke still regarded the people of this country as her private property, and she was like a possessive child. Even if he was knocked to the ground and covered in mud and water, he cried and clung to his toys. And in the end, Litia did what she said she would.

As one of the three archangels, the Archangel of Litia has an incomparable strength, she lives and dies with the radiance, and as long as the sun's radiance does not disappear, then Litia will not die. And it was with her own strength that she resisted the attack of the Dark Dragon Kingdom, an army of 150,000. The four demon generals, and even the dark dragon himself, were unable to make Litia fall, and she only relied on her own strength to destroy 50,000 undead creatures and injure three of the four demon generals. Forcing them to force their way out of the battlefield, on that blood-stained hill, Litia fulfilled her promise——— she did what she said. ..., and it was because of the efforts and sacrifices of the Grand Duke that the Undead Legion stopped its advance, and just as the sun set, the last ship full of refugees and players also left the port.

And she did.

It was the most memorable scene in Rhodes' memory, when he walked to the blood-stained hill, what he saw was the corpses of the undead crushed by black pressure, they, the stenching corpses covered the hill in layers, making people sick. Only in a semicircle centered on Litia was there no trace of the undead in the fresh green grass. The girl was half-kneeling on the ground with the long sword in her hand, and even so, she still raised her head proudly, proudly looking down on the black and oppressive undead army in front of her.

The neat, luxurious dress was already in tatters at the moment, the girl's slender body was full of arrows and weapons, blood stained her dress red, and the long golden hair was also dyed red, the white wings were even more tattered, the feathers drifted away with the wind, and the originally beautiful wings of light were now only a pile of dry bones.

Seeing Rod's appearance, the girl turned her head slightly, and after hearing Rod's answer, she showed a relieved, playful and dazzling smile.

"Really......... Great........."

The girl whispered to herself, bowing her proud head for the first time.

And the sun, also at this time, disappears behind the horizon. Pure white flames erupted from Litia's body, enveloping her completely, and when everything burned out, there was nothing left but the two long swords that supported Litia.

Subsequently, the video was recorded by Rhodes and posted online. It caused a strong reaction from players, and many of those who once belonged to the Duchy of Moon vowed to make the Dark Dragon Kingdom and the Light Dragon Kingdom blood pay for it after watching this video, and it was against this background that Rhodes finally decided to give up his previous identity as a casual player and start a new game journey.

It can be said that without Litia, there would be no starlight, and there would be no Rhodes in the future. If he hadn't established Starlight, then the current Rhodes would probably just be an ordinary high-end player among the crowd of players.

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but be a little distracted, and at this moment beside him, Marlene and Li Jie both noticed Rode's strangeness, which made them look at each other with some curiosity, after all, in the eyes of these two people, it is really a very rare thing for Rod to be distracted, maybe other men will wander out of the world when they see Litia's beauty, but judging from the two of them understanding Rode, he is not that kind of person? So what's going on here?

But doubts are doubts, but Marlene didn't ask. She only coughed lightly, which brought Rod back to his senses, but luckily for her closing speech was around the time. Not many people were paying attention to Rhodes' anomaly.

“…………… Midsummer is a festival of the brave, where we witness steadfastness, indomitable will, and wisdom to victory in the sacred arena. All of this is the cornerstone of our Principality of Moon, and this time, the winners of victory and glory. It shows us all of this. ”

At this, Litia paused, and then she smiled mischievously.

"And I, too, will be here to send blessings and rewards to these brave victors."

Soon, after saying this, President Thorn, who was standing beside Litia, immediately opened his mouth and shouted.

"Let's welcome the winner of the Midsummer Festival Individual Contest——— Rod Brown. Mr. Elant, and the Starlight Mercenary Regiment! ”

"Oooooooooo!!oo

This time, Thorn's voice just fell. There was an immediate deafening cheer from the people below, this time in response to the boos of the southerners who had come before. In the beginning, the boos of the southerners came too quickly and too suddenly. Let these northerners not have time to react, let the other party take the lead. This naturally made many people in the north quite dissatisfied, after all, this is a golden city, and it is their territory. Now that they have been preempted by this group of arrogant southerners, how can they feel comfortable. Because of this, in order to strike a good blow at that group of arrogant guys, when they heard Rod's name at this moment, these northern people immediately cheered loudly. ..., this naturally made those southerners very unhappy, in their hearts Rhodes was a heinous bastard, and this kind of person should be spit on and disgusted by the whole world. Now, instead of opposing him, you rough and low-minded northern bastards are screaming so wildly for such a murderer, it's simply hopeless.

There were also people who wanted to pour cold water and boo, but their voices were almost hoarse from Rod's provocation just now, and now they couldn't make a sound, so they could only stare angrily at the enthusiastic cheers of these bastards to climb the steps. Rhodes who came to Litia.

Standing in front of Li Tia, Rod, Marlene and Li Jie are the calmest, Rod and Li Tia have long been familiar with each other in the game, and now they naturally don't feel nervous. And Marlene, as the heir of the Shania family, naturally has known Li Tia for a long time. As for Li Jie, not to mention, although she has not returned to the Golden City for many years, she is also Li Tia's sister after all, and she will not be speechless in a panic in the face of her sister.

On the contrary, the performance of several other people at the moment is really a little laughable. Anne's nerves have indeed reached a level, even in the face of Litia, this girl still does not change her big grin, and even winks at Litia to say hello. Lando, Joey, and Labis were completely helpless, stiff like a robot, almost instinctively following the others onto the stage. Especially Labis, who was pale at the moment, and even worried that she would just faint like that——— if that were the case, it would be a big joke.

"Mr. Rhodes."

Looking at the man in front of her, the inexplicable feeling in Litia's heart appeared again, she could perceive very keenly that Rhodes was looking at her at this moment with a very cordial and familiar look, as if he was a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, but this was impossible Litia and he had only met twice at most, strictly speaking, they didn't even know each other at all. However, the girl can also perceive that Rod's gaze is real, not fictional and deliberate——— which makes Litia even more confused.

However, as the Grand Duke of a country, of course she would not lose her temper so easily, she quickly restrained her inner doubts, looked at the man in front of her, and smiled lightly.

"As a person who leads a mercenary group and participates in the Midsummer Festival for the first time, I am really surprised and happy that you are standing here......... In the sacred arena, you have shown your wisdom, bravery and strength, and you have also defeated the evil devil......... And according to my promise, I will fulfill one of your wishes. ”

Saying this, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of playfulness and anticipation flashed in her emerald green eyes.

"So, what is your wish?" (。
