Goblins are the best species, after the two sides signed a contract, Rod took the goblins back to Grantia, and settled them in the woods behind the palace and the lake, according to the layout, this area should belong to the scope of the royal garden, but Rod obviously doesn't care about these false names, in addition to their natural black lyrics, the goblins are still very competent as assistants, whether it is to send letters or send messages or clean up is very convenient. And don't look at their small and delicate appearance, each goblin is a spellcaster with the primary strength of Central, and what's more, as a pure magic race, they don't need to chant spells to cast spells like mages, if any idiot thinks that these small and delicate little guys who look like dolls are easy to deal with......... Well, with the goblin's natural and kind personality, it is estimated that no one will die, but it is not impossible to be half-paralyzed by them.

That's right, anyway, for goblins, as long as they don't kill people.

After getting rid of the goblin, the next thing is ............... Phantom Garden.

Frankly speaking, for the existence of [Phantom Garden], Rhodes is very entangled. Although the [Phantom Garden] is bred with undead creatures, they are basically spirits, and there are no things like necromancers or lichs. And the strength of these soul bodies themselves is not strong, and it is not weak to say that they are weak. But the question is......... What did Rod want them for?

If it were in the Night Kingdom, the necromantic creatures in the Garden of Spirits would have a lot to do. But now Rhodes is not in the Night Realm, at least on the surface, he still has something to do with Moon, and it is better for the undead to appear as little as possible. So Rhodes can let the goblins migrate to Grantia, but he will never let these undead creatures appear in front of outsiders at will, no matter what. Rod's territory is still dominated by living people. Moreover, the mere existence of such a thing as a necronomicon will have a bad effect on living things, and their composition is negative energy. Even if there is no malice, if you are exposed to too much negative energy, then human beings will become weak and easily sick. As a result, life expectancy will be shortened, and it is even possible to die outright. Because of this, Rhodes has a headache about what to do with them.

Similar to it, there is also a desire demon, which is also an existence that makes Rod very helpless. Lust demons are much more difficult to deal with than succubi, and although they also devour their souls by seducing mortals with their beauty, the chaotic nature of succubi makes them simply want to mess up everything. And the demon is to use beauty to lure others to fight for power and profit, so as to ensure their status and power. That's why Rod asked Selestina to go there instead of himself, although he also knew very well that with the personality of the demon, if he went in person. Sleeping so much, I didn't even have any pressure on the royal daughter or anything that I had in one night. But in this way, Rod will inevitably bear the crisis of the harem fire, and with the nature of the demon, she will never give up if she turns Rhodes's harem upside down. Therefore, Rod simply asked Celestina to go, the so-called wicked people have their own wicked people, and he will not be involved in this.

【Phantom Garden】

On the surface, it was nothing more than a gloomy forest, with layers of foliage obscuring the sun's rays. It makes the whole forest look very dark. But beyond that, there are other things that are more anomalous. That is what should not exist in this world in the first place. But at this moment, it is here, shining with a mesmerizing and terrifying brilliance.

Crystal.

The prismatic crystals burst out of the earth, standing on the ground like plants, and it was still summer, but the whole forest was extremely cold, and a biting chill wafted through it. It makes people feel instinctive fear. There are no birds and beasts chirping, no blooming flowers, and even the blades of grass on the ground take on a melancholy dark green. The forest, which is supposed to be full of life, is filled with the smell of death that has never been seen before.

The silence of death.

Even the sound of footsteps was swallowed up. You can feel the chill on your skin just by walking in here. Of course, Rod didn't care about this, he just walked leisurely and carefully looked at the scene in front of him. I have to admit that this place is indeed not suitable for the living to enter, those crystals are not just ordinary magic crystals, but soul prisms full of death. They are also the abode of the necromancers, and their spirits are hidden in these crystals on a daily basis, hiding from the sun and preserving their soul power. It is not until night falls that they emerge from the crystals and move in the present world.

But now, I'm afraid they're watching themselves.

Rhodes stopped.

"I am the master of this territory and the owner of the power of the dragon soul, Rod. Elante. The undead who are hovering between life and death, I have come here in the name of the Lord of the Dragon Soul to negotiate with you, so please show up. ”

Because at this moment, a purple soul light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then, in front of Rod, a huge figure slowly emerged.

It was a knight in white heavy armor, it was more than two meters tall, its whole body was covered in silver and white heavy armor, and even the gap between the helmet was pitch black, and a giant sword was carried behind the knight, showing a strong sense of oppression. At the same time as he appeared, the huge knight in armor fell to one knee and paid his respects to Rhodes.

"Welcome...... Your ...... Arrival...... Great ...... Dragon Soul ...... The Lord ......"

I don't know if it's because of the influence of the heavy metal armor, the words that come out of the knight's mouth in front of him seem to have been treated with something thick and hoarse, and even intermittently with a little echo, I have to admit that this is also a strange enough existence.

"I am ...... Spiritual ...... Guardian ...... Falsen......"

"I'm Rhodes. Elant, the owner of this territory. ”

Hearing Falson's response, Rhodes nodded, and then spoke.

"I think you know what I'm here for. As the lord here, I can guarantee you the right to live, and in turn, you must obey my orders and serve me. Do you have any objections to this? ”

“………………………”

This time. In the face of Rod's inquiry, the other party did not answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, the knight in front of him raised his head and looked at the man in front of him quietly.

"My lord...... Wish...... We...... What to do......"

"Something that is not well suited for a living person to do."

In response to the other party's inquiry, Rod answered very happily. He didn't intend to hide his subordinates from the future. Sometimes it's important to get vaccinated beforehand, and ghosts, unlike the Necrons, aren't necessarily very happy to spread death, and Rhodes wants them to do more than they expect.

"Depending on the situation, there's a good chance I'll let you kill someone, even if they're unarmed."

In a way, the undead are the best at doing these things, they come and go without a trace. And don't worry about leaving a living mouth. And in Rhodes's opinion, even if he finds any clues, he will be fine if he pushes things to the Night Country, anyway, there are more lice and it is not itchy, and the Night Country has been hacked for so many years, and he doesn't care about his little ink, does he?

Anyway, under his own hands, Rhodes didn't plan to let these undead creatures appear in front of people, and since they couldn't appear in front of people. Wouldn't it be better to do things that you can't be known about? Although so far, nothing like this has happened under Rhodes. However, as long as you think about it, you will know that this kind of thing is absolutely indispensable in the future. So, it's okay to prepare in advance, right?

Undead creatures and lust demons are the kind of people who don't treat people as human beings, and since this is the case, there will naturally be no psychological burden when killing people. Then Rhodes will not have any psychological burden when he gives the order. Although the Rogue army under his current command, Joy, also "occasionally" worked as a killer, they were all killed by some hostile targets. If Rhodes had ordered them to kill all the men, women, and children in a village, they wouldn't have done it. Even if you do it, you may leave some trouble behind. Lust is a good choice, but Rhodes wouldn't be stupid enough to believe in a creature like a devil.

Don't you see that the protagonist in many game stories escaped the catastrophe and then rose up because of the incomplete implementation of the three-light policy?

“…………………”

This time. In the face of Rod's words, the knight in front of him did not answer immediately, but after being silent for a long time, it stood up, and then, with a whistling sword wind, the big sword that was originally behind the other party fell into the hands of the knight in front of him.

“……… So...... Please...... My lord...... Allow...... I confirm...... Adult's ...... Determination ........."

"Oh?"

Hearing the other party's words, Rod's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of light flashed from his eyes, and then he stretched out his right hand.

The next moment, the bright red greatsword appeared in Rhodes' hand along with the twisting chains.

"So, let me make sure."

With the appearance of the bright red giant blade, the originally silent forest suddenly made a rustling sound, and the silver-white crystal prism seemed to echo something shining with red brilliance, and for a while, the seemingly empty forest was a little more noisy than ever. Just in an instant, it seemed as if countless eyes appeared from the air, watching the confrontation between the two.

The next moment, the Soul Knight struck.

"Whew!!"

The big sword in his hand swung forward without fear, clean and neat, without dragging the mud and water, giving up indifferent hesitation, it was a swordsmanship completely honed on the battlefield, not seeking self-preservation, only seeking to kill the enemy. It's just a sword attack, but it makes people feel like Mount Tai is overpowering, and the unprecedented sense of oppression turns into a substantial existence in an instant, imprisoning the target in front of him from all directions, if Rhodes is just an ordinary person...... No, even if it is an elite peak level swordsman, I am afraid that under this sword, I am afraid that he will be killed on the spot without even having the possibility of making a sword.

Unfortunately, Rhodes is no ordinary person.

"Bell!!"

At the same time as the knight's big sword was swung down, the bright red giant blade in Rod's hand also moved, and then suddenly rose up, blocking the knight's attack impartially. The Soul Knight who was blocked flickered, but soon it immediately stepped back, and the big sword in its hand slid by, and continued to slash towards Rod's body with a sweep from the side.

Very good.

Seeing the other party's swordsmanship, Rhodes nodded appreciatively, it was obvious that this was a pure warrior, and its swordsmanship did not have the fancy and pride of the nobility. There is no dignity and glory of a swordsman, its sword is the sword of the battlefield——— to kill or be killed, there are only two options. That's why it's so strong. It's like forcing its enemies on a chair and demanding that they make a choice right away——— either/or option. With this momentum alone, the soul knight in front of him is probably also at the level of seventy-five.

There is no third option.

But alas......... Its opponent is Rhodes. And it's Rhodes, who is the inheritor of the dragon soul. For him, such an attack is not even a threat.

"It's too slow!"

With Rod's words, suddenly, the metal chain wrapped around his arm suddenly burst out, and quickly threw it towards the giant blade that swept towards Rhodes in front of him, only to hear two soft bells, the giant sword was actually bounced away like this, and at this moment. Rod's bright red giant blade had already reached the opponent's face, and in the face of this extremely dangerous attack, the soul knight decisively gave up continuing the attack, and immediately turned his sword back to try to block the blow.

The next moment, the two swords clashed.

"Boom ————!!"

With a low roar, the soul knight flew upside down, and the roaring wind swept the knight in front of him who was dressed like canned food and flew backwards. A deep ravine was plowed into the ground. With just one blow, Rhodes had already completely lost the combat effectiveness of the soul knight in front of him.

And it's no wonder. After awakening the power of the dragon soul, Rod's ontology attribute is even higher than the five-circumference attribute of a fully armed full-level player, although now Rhodes is not yet level seventy, but he can be sure that with his current ability, unless it is an opponent of Lydia's level. The others are not their own generals at all, not to mention the summoning holy sword card used by Rhodes or Heros, if it weren't for Rhodes' mercy, he could have completely split the other party in the middle just now.

"............... Now"

Rod waved his hand and put away the bright red blade. Then he looked up at the soul knight who had fallen not far away.

“……… You should have already made your decision. ”

In the face of Rod's inquiry, the silver-white knight did not speak, on the contrary, it only struggled to stand up, and then respectfully knelt on the ground, bowing its head to the man in front of it.

After taking care of the [Phantom Garden], Rod's collection of the monster lair came to an end for the time being, not because he didn't want to solve the Sky Whale problem as soon as possible. It's that the entire territory is in ruins, and Rhodes has a lot of things to deal with. At the same time as collecting the monster lair, Rhodes also went to get the remnants of the shelter out, and after communicating with each other, Rhodes found that although he didn't know what these remnants were like before, but now they are completely a group of fanatics, and they are willing to die as long as they are ordered by themselves. In addition, because of the long-term closed relationship, the people in the shelter have more or less strange temperaments and rules. Of course, if it weren't for the rules of common sense, Rhodes wouldn't interfere, and other than that, it wouldn't be a big deal. As for shelter, Rhodes used the power of his dragon soul to restore several towns and build them in the surrounding area of the shelter so that they could make a smooth transition.

After some combing, Rhodes found that there were more than 50,000 remnants in the nine shelters, and 70,000 in addition to the 20,000 remnants in Grantia. If Rhodes really started from scratch, then I am afraid that a large area will starve to death due to the food problem alone. But fortunately, these shelters have been able to hold out in the Chaos Land for so many years, and naturally have their own set of means, so the food problem is easy to solve. On the contrary, there are some difficulties in circulation and trading, of course, these can only make Marlene watch step by step.

In addition to the remnants of the territory itself, refugees from outside are also a top priority for Rhodes. It was also thanks to an idiot who fled without a fight, who chose to retreat and caused the entire territory to fall, and seven or eight out of ten of the people in that territory were either killed or fled. Now a large number of refugees are in exile, which makes Moon a little unbearable. Rod, on the other hand, ordered the Seven Lovers to gather as many refugees as possible through the Spiritual Connection, and when the walls of absolute order were gone, he would emigrate them to his own territory. And now, under Rod's order, Seven Love has gathered nearly 40,000 people and temporarily placed them in Rod's Glen Bell Territory, of course, so many people came at once, Rod's territory will definitely not be able to bear it. But fortunately, he also made a lot of money selling saint maidens like Rhodes before, and he decisively took out the money to buy a large amount of food, which can be regarded as coping with the current crisis. However, Seven Love also confessed to Rhodes that this is only a temporary solution after all, refugees are refugees after all, and if they can't be given a suitable place to live as soon as possible, I'm afraid that these refugees will become a mob at that time. And now, with canaries and little bubblegum watching, these refugees don't dare to cause any trouble. The matter of Rhodes' reclamation of the Void Territory Seven Love also took the opportunity to send someone to pass it on, and when they thought that they were likely to have a fertile land in the future, these refugees finally settled down temporarily.

But the so-called hundred secrets, Rod did not expect at all, even so, there would be problems that he did not expect at all.
