Shearer put away his greatsword and glanced at Rod, who was standing not far away with the corpse of the Wind Serpent Lord at his feet, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Frankly speaking, he doesn't have a good impression of Starlight's mercenary group, and he doesn't have any ill will.

When he first heard about its existence, Shearer thought it was as strange as the other mercenaries, but that was the end of it, he didn't bother with it. Shearer has been a mercenary for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of things, so he doesn't find it strange, such things are everywhere, new mercenary groups, new masters, no matter what, it's someone else's business.

And after meeting Rhodes for the first time at the mercenary joint meeting, Shearer became a little curious about this incomparably beautiful man. It's not about his looks, it's about his attitude. At the mercenary joint meeting, when Shearer heard him talk about exterminating the Emerald Tears mercenary group, his tone did not seem to be talking about a hated enemy, nor was there any disgust, but only naked contempt, as if a person stood on a high place, squinting at the ants at his feet, complaining that these guys should not be in his way.

He didn't even see the other party as a human being.

Shearer had such an intuition, but he didn't know why he felt this way, and generally speaking, it was the most vicious people who gave him such feelings, who were twisted in their hearts and had long since lost their ordinary people's sanity. But this young man is different, he is very smart, and there is not the slightest madness, his attitude is calm and composed, and from the fact that he chooses to rescue himself this time, this young man does not lack the positive characteristics that a human being in the world should have.

But his attitude did not change.

Shearer could perceive that in the gaze of Rhodes looking at him, in addition to calmness, there was also a look of appreciation. It is not an appreciation of human beings, but rather that he looks at himself as if he were looking at a famous painting or some long-rumored sculpture.

Who is this kid?

Rhodes didn't know what he thought about him, and after fighting alongside the leader, he reminisced about his previous life as a player, and that's how they were tasked and cooperated. PC battles and then gain experience, level up, complete missions, and get equipment and reputation rewards.

Now he seems to be back to that kind of rì.

"Two Wind Serpent Lords."

Rod's gaze swept across the battlefield, calm with a hint of melancholy.

"One less than they said, and the mage hasn't shown up yet."

"I think he's probably going to show up soon."

Clenching the staff in her hand, Marlene's face became a little solemn.

"It's only a little bit, but I can feel the aura of magic, he should be watching our ......, it's not a good development, Mr. Rod. Although I can't break it accurately, I think the other party's rank should be higher than what I am coming from, so it's troublesome. ”

"How many more precipitating potions are there?"

"Eight bottles, at most for another hour."

Lì Jie also quickly finished counting and replied.

an hour.

Rhodes glanced up at the sky, the wind snakes were still far away, and they had no intention of backing down at all, which meant that even if they held out for another hour, it was pointless.

"What do we do next? Head? ”

Anne took back the adamantite shield, and the little one's face was covered with blood, which looked a little scary, but the little one didn't seem to be tired at all, looking at her standing in place and running around, and then looking at the group of mercenaries next to her who were sitting silently on the ground at the moment, standing half high. …,

By the way, it is worth mentioning that Lando and the others did not immediately double their combat effectiveness because of Rhodes' training, and when facing an enemy of this intensity, they seemed to have completely forgotten the combat skills they had learned before, and involuntarily returned to the battle they were originally good at again, and the result was naturally self-evident, if it wasn't for Shana's timely leadership and proper handling, I'm afraid that Starlight would have already been attritional.

As for Labis, she had mustered up the courage to fight at the beginning of the battle, but when the Wind Serpent Lord flew over her head with a tail, the poor girl instinctively screamed, and then immediately crouched on the ground with her head in her hands until the battle was over. Although this defensive posture seems to be weak, it does have a certain effect, and when there are mercenaries around from time to time who are injured and fall to the ground due to the counterattack of the Wind Snake Lord, she actually survives until the end of the battle unscathed, which is a miracle.

But this is not a priceless one, maybe it is because of the leg cramps caused by squatting for too long, and the girl can't stand up at the moment..........

"Call Commander Shearer over and we'll discuss our next steps."

After a moment of silence, Rod made a decision.

"What, lure?"

Hearing Rod's words, Shearer's adjutant immediately cried out in surprise, and Shearer raised his eyebrows, although he didn't say anything, but there was also a trace of doubt in his gaze at Rod.

"That's right."

Rod nodded, and then he quickly explained.

"There are not many precipitating elixirs left, and to protect so many people, you can only hold on for another hour at most. It's unlikely that we'll be able to get out of the city in this small amount of time, but when the precipitation potion runs out, we'll be in trouble, and at that time, the mage hiding in the shadows will use the crowd tactics to trap us here completely. So, we've got to seduce that guy out before that. Force him to face us head-on, and if we can successfully take him out, then we can do it once and for all. ”

"However, mages rarely face each other head-on."

The adjutant said, glancing at Marlene, who was closing her eyes not far away.

"And, since we only have eight precipitating potions left, can't we get out of them before they run out? Or, we can do some more .........",

"There are no more raw materials."

Rods shrugged their shoulders.

"And I don't think there's time to make these potions right now, but ...... That's exactly what I'm going to say. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Hearing Rod's words, the adjutant's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's very simple, we know that we only have eight bottles of potion left, but the other party doesn't know about it. If we can create the illusion that we can keep using potions to drive out the wind snakes, then he will be tempted to take action himself. My plan is simple, first, we'll use the remaining potion to make him feel that we're not panicking, and then we'll rest in place, and I'll create some illusions that we have the ability to make this potion whenever and wherever we want, so that he will have to do it himself. After all, the Wind Snake was afraid of the precipitation of the qi element, but as a contract mage, this was not a big problem for him. As long as we can lure him out and fight us, we will be half the battle, and then it will be up to us to see if we can kill him. ”

"But...... In case ............"

"Then we'll die."

Of course, Rhodes knew what the other party was talking about. …,

"But if we run out of precipitation potion, the fate will be similar, so at the very least, the initiative must be in our hands, and many mages are"...", Rod glanced at Marlene, and then continued. "They are very self-conscious, they think they have the wisdom to see through any conspiracy, and I think ...... we might be able to do something about it."

"But, but people ",......"

Hearing this, the adjutant stood up, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Shearer's hand, and the stern and silent man stared at Rhodes for a moment, then nodded.

"........., do as you say."

This is the helpless explanation of some frustrated translator.

The black-robed mage soon spotted his target and went into action.

But contrary to the black robe's expectations, they did not try to escape from the forest in a panic, on the contrary, these mercenaries were very disciplined, and they did not walk very fast, and it seemed that they were walking towards the outskirts of the Dusk Forest. What's going on? Aren't they afraid of their own wind snake hordes surrounding?

Seeing this scene, the black-robed mage frowned, and he began to regret that he had underestimated the strength of the other party at the beginning, causing him to lose two Wind Snake Lords for nothing, but it didn't matter. After all, the most powerful trump cards are still in their hands, and it is useless to throw away the little ghost cards, at least they let the black robe see clearly the abilities of these guys. None of them had enough strength to threaten him, not even the female mage he had paid attention to before, although this girl was a little surprised to step into the Central realm at a young age, but compared to herself, this girl was still too far behind.

But.............

Thinking of this, the black robe narrowed his eyes, this girl's talent is very high, which makes him feel a hint of threat, he is almost fifty years old before he has gained his current strength, and this girl looks like she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she has actually stepped into the Central realm, if she is not eliminated now, then maybe this country will have a strong man in the future, which is definitely not good news for him.

It is necessary to completely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots while she has not grown up yet.

Thinking of this, the black-robed mage clenched his fists and began to slowly condense his demonic power.

The mercenary team, under the command of the two regimental commanders, was slowly and cautiously moving forward.

Although they were also very puzzled about why their regiment commander didn't take them out of this ghost place earlier, but in their trust in the regiment commander, they didn't ask much, but followed silently, always alerting to the movements around them, and at the same time seizing the time to recover their energy.

At this moment, Rhodes was walking beside Marlene, talking to her in a low voice.

"Can't you really be sure of the other party's level of accuracy?"

"It's difficult, Mr. Rod, I just know that the other party is definitely much stronger than me, and he is also higher than me in the control of magic elements, if you want to accurately cut off his strength, unless you fight face to face, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Now it's a problem.

Rod frowned slightly, he was not afraid of the other party, even if he couldn't figure it out by then, he would be able to solve the problem by summoning the "Seven Loves", but Rod really didn't want to use this method, after all, the summoning of this card was too harsh and too wasteful, and it was a time to save it, and originally Rod also hoped to be able to solve the problem within his own strength, but for now, it seems that something is not good.

Although they have also eliminated strong enemies like the Death Knight, but the Death Knight is a melee combat after all, as long as there are enough people and the strength is strong enough, it will not be a problem to kill him. But mages are different, they are cunning and terrifying, and they have many tricks to save their lives, unless they are killed with one blow, they can definitely escape completely. Now the only thing that Rhodes' subordinates can take is Marlene, but now it seems that although a genius is a genius, he is not an absolute powerhouse, and Marlene still seems to be a little immature in the confrontation of this strength.

What's next? Do you really want to use Seven Loves?

Let's see what's going on.

Thinking of this, Rhodes raised his head and looked at the sky, and then his face changed, and he grabbed Marlene and rolled to the side.

"Be careful!"

At the same moment, a bolt of lightning fell straight down from the gloomy dark clouds, striking hard at the place where Marlene had been standing...... ）
