Sonia put down the crystal wine glass in her hand and looked at the face of the man in front of her, the man she once loved, who was now sitting in front of her. But I don't know what Lu Dao is about, but Sonia doesn't feel anything about him, it's not that she forgot Andre. In fact, Sonia remembers it very clearly, and deep down in her heart, she can even recall the scene when she and he first met. At that time, she was proud, complacent, and had no interest in a rough martial artist like Andrei. At that time, she looked down on other races, just like the other nobles of the Land of Light, and it was because of this that she made sarcastic remarks at that ball, which caused Andrei's displeasure.

For a period of time after that, Sonia tried every means to defeat Andrei, but she failed, and it was at this time that she had a trace of strange emotions towards this man in her heart, and in Sonya's opinion, Andre was very smart and powerful. But he was bound by something boring and meaningless, and he could even offend a powerful nobleman for the sake of that elven slave. Sonia had no idea what Andre was thinking, or why he was doing it. It was then that Sonia became interested in this man.

After that, by various coincidences, she began to approach this man, and this man also gave Sonia encouragement and motivation that she had never imagined. When she felt so stressed by the fierce struggle of her family that she was on the verge of giving up, it was he who encouraged her to get back on her feet and eventually became the third executive officer of the Locktos Consortium. Until now, Sonia remembers that night, in the moonlight, Andre stared at what she had said, the dream that sounded so childish to her.

Maybe it was at that time. Looking at Andre's shining eyes, Sonia felt for the first time that she had been deeply attracted to him.

Even his words and actions are enough to make his heart move. That shy smile, an innocent and funny expression because of embarrassment. And the seriousness hidden underneath. Sonia was once so intoxicated that she wanted to confess to the man in front of her more than once, longing for his love and recognition. But now...............

That's just the past, after all.

Looking at Andre in front of her, all the memories of the past came to Sonya's heart, but at this moment, in the depths of the girl's heart, there was no longer the feeling of the past. If it had been her before, I am afraid that my heart would have been beating more than enough at this time, but now. Sonia felt an unexpected peace in her heart, so calm that she couldn't believe it. What's wrong with me? What exactly have I become? For what? I didn't react at all?

Thinking of this, Sonia couldn't help but hold the wine glass tightly, and then she raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Sonia, you're fine, are you?"

The hot liquid spread out in his mouth like this, hazy, stimulating the aroma of wine and the hot sensation at this moment, which stimulated Sonia to be a little dizzy. Seeing the scene in front of him, Andre couldn't help but ask curiously. And heard Andrei's inquiry. Sonia shook her head.

"I'm fine, Andre........."

Hearing Andrei's inquiry, Sonia shook her head, she looked up, looked at Andrei, and then smiled lightly.

"Andrey. Do you like me? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Sonia unexpectedly ask him this question, Andre was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned slightly red.

"So, Sonya, what are you talking about........."

"Answer my question. Andre. ”

Sonia stood up and walked over to Andrei's side. At the moment, they were in a distinguished room that Andre had chartered outside, and there was no one here except them. So Sonia didn't need to worry about anything, she walked slowly in front of Andre, stretched out her hand, and pressed it to his chest. Then, Sonia lowered her head and attached it to Andrei's ear.

"Do you like me? Andre? Do you want me? ”

"Sony, Sonia?"

Faced with the girl's sudden attack, Andre was a little embarrassed, and he instinctively stood up and straightened his body back, as if he was avoiding Sonya.

"What's wrong with you? You're drunk, Sonya......... Don't ................"

"I like you............ Andrei ..............."

The confession of dreams.

But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, when Sonia said it at this time, she didn't have the excitement and shyness she originally expected, at this moment Sonia felt like an actor on the stage, and what she was doing now was not confiding her feelings to the person she loved at all, but just reciting lines, just because, in her mind, she should do it at this time——— this is just a pre-designed script, that's all.

"Sonya, you ..............."

"Do you like me? Andre? ”

Sonia took another step closer, and at this time the girl's soft body was almost tightly attached to Andrei's body, and she raised her head like this, looking at Andre quietly. Then, with her hands around Andrei's neck, she lifted her head and moved closer to his face. Will you be able to get me out of this nightmare and come back again? Andre? Will you be able to do this?

"Don't, don't do that, Sonia!"

And just as Sonia was about to kiss Andre on the lips, Andre suddenly shrank back, and then he pushed the girl in front of him away. Sonia staggered back a few steps, her eyes wide in surprise, looking at Andre in front of her. The atmosphere became silent for a while, and when he noticed Sonya's gaze, Andre was flushed, he coughed awkwardly, and looked around uncertainly.

"This............ I'm sorry......... Sonya, I'm not ..............."

"Hoohoo ............"

"Huh?"

"Haha............ha

Faced with Andre's embarrassed expression, Sonia suddenly laughed loudly, and she even bent down with a smile, and after a while, she straightened up again.

"Really, I was fooled so easily. Andre? You're a little stupid, I didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive, it seems that when I go to the ball in the future, I'll have to take good care of you instead of Sherry, otherwise, if you are lost by a noble lady. How can I explain that to Sherrico. ”

"This, this has nothing to do with Sherry."

Hearing Sonya's words, Andre was immediately embarrassed, he touched his nose helplessly, and then let out a sigh.

"Really, you almost scared me to death, Sonia, I thought you were drunk........."

"It's a compulsory course for Miss Noble, Andrey. You're going to have to learn to get used to that, huh? ”

Saying this, Sonia even raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with playful movements.

"Thank you for the lesson, Sonia."

Faced with Sonya's expression, Andre shook his head helplessly, he glanced out the window, and then coughed.

"Well, then, the night is already late. Sonia, I'll send you back. ”

“………… It's good. Andre. ”

Sonia turned her head away from Andre, and she just looked out at the night. Although the room was lit up, at this moment, Sonia only felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and there was nothing under her feet......... It was eternal darkness. She closed her eyes. He lowered his head and whispered to himself.

Master...............

For Rod, the recent period can almost be regarded as his fortune day.

Soon after the first statue of the Holy Maiden was sent to the Dragon Canyon, territories in all directions couldn't wait to contact the Land of Atonement, hoping to get a statue of the Holy Maiden from Rhodes as soon as possible. It's no wonder they've suddenly become so enthusiastic. Although it was said that the Holy Maiden played well in the offensive and defensive battles of the Land of Atonement, after all, it was on Rhodes' own territory, and at that time, with the assistance of the War Angel and the Demon Guide Fleet, it was naturally invincible. As for whether the statue of the Holy Maiden is used elsewhere, they share Rhodes' concerns. But after seeing the transformation of the Holy Maiden in Longteng Canyon with their own eyes, they immediately put aside all their worries and began to ask Rhodes for help. In any case, the only person who can make an artifact and take it out to buy and sell is Rhodes in the entire Continent of Light, and there is no other semicolon.

The Statue of the Holy Maiden is indeed not omnipotent, although Ann sounds like she is engaged in pyramid schemes, but she is not engaged in pyramid schemes after all, and this is a time of war, so it is not a good idea to hide the weaknesses of the Saint Maiden Statue. In fact, when he was in Longteng Canyon, Rhodes once told General Anton that although the Holy Maiden is like the natural enemy of the undead, but in addition to this, it is just a stone statue, and like all stone sculptures, it is not resistant to beating, although it is made of magic crystals, so the magic resistance is still gone, but if it is smashed by something like a trebuchet or a battering ram, then the statue of the Holy Maiden is completely finished. But these small shortcomings do not seem to be any obstacle for those potential buyers, everything is not perfect, even if it is as powerful as a magic cannon, it has not been able to solve the safety hazards caused by the earthquake after appearing on the mainland for so many years, so it can only be used fixedly. And it's not that sturdy, if someone hits it, it will still explode and be completely scrapped. Therefore, this small shortcoming of the Holy Maiden Statue is not a shortcoming at all in their eyes, on the contrary, they value the Holy Maiden Statue's huge anti-death barrier and the power of the Holy Spear, plus the fact that the Holy Maiden Statue can attach divine attributes to everything within its envelopment, is even more exciting. This is not just as simple as turning the water source into holy water, it can even be said that in this way, the armor and weapons of the soldiers who fight within the shroud of the Holy Maiden will have the power of the divine attribute, and it will be even more effective when facing the undead army weakened by the anti-death barrier. Not only that, but after their death, there was no way for the necromancer to summon their corpses as a supplement to the undead legions. Because their evil power of death will dissolve directly under the divine light, completely rendered useless.

It can be seen that with the help of the statue of the Holy Maiden, the advantage of the undead legion has been weakened to the greatest extent, they cannot pollute the water to reduce the morale of the enemy as before, nor can they use their bodies strengthened by soul power to carry out strong attacks, let alone summon the dead corpses to increase their own strength. Although the high-ranking units of the Undead Legion are also very strong, in this way, everyone is at least facing a relatively normal or even slightly advantageous battle for them.

For them. That's enough.

Because of this, letters from the major territories of the Duchy of Moon were almost piled up on Rhodes' desk, among them, the Eastern Mountain Plains and Segram, which are currently fighting the most fierce battles with the undead legions, are the most urgent, and in addition, even some territories bordering the Land of Light have also sent letters hoping to obtain the statue of the Holy Maiden, obviously. They had no confidence in the Land of Light in holding off the undead army's attack, and it was better to rely on the Council of Light than to rely on it.

The lords of these realms were not as poor as Rhodes, and of course, they couldn't have traveled back and forth with millions of gold coins, but platinum coins and diamonds were still the most circulating currencies on the continent. For the minimum deposit of three million proposed by Rod, they almost didn't hesitate at all, and nodded directly and sent it up. It can be seen that Rhodes is called an unbalanced heart, and it is not easy for him, a poor lord, to be able to make some money with the help of the system after working hard for so long. Look at these lords and nobles, the lord took out millions of gold coins without blinking his eyes, why is the gap between people in this world so big?

However, strictly speaking, this money is not earned by Rhodes, because these are just the principal of building the statue of the Holy Maiden, and the money bag will be thrown into the bottomless pit of the construction system by Rhodes before it is hot, and the real profit will be obtained after the delivery of the statue of the Holy Maiden.

But there are good and bad aspects to everything, and human nature is the most difficult existence in this world to be determined by pure goodwill, and with the enthusiastic letters from each realm, the number of people in the Land of Atonement has begun to increase. And they're obviously not here for tourism. In fact, Joey and the others have captured several guys who are sneaking around the Tour de France Tower and trying to invade the Tour de France, not to mention some unfamiliar faces around the stronghold that they have never seen before. And that's not all. Rhodes also learned through Marlene that there were some nobles in the Golden City who had raised concerns in front of Lydia, thinking that they should investigate how they obtained the artifact. Although Lydia threw these proposals aside and ignored them, Rhodes was still well aware of the interior of the Duchy of Moon. There are still opinions and worries about myself. It's no wonder that, just on the surface, as a mercenary-born lord, Rhodes has obtained too much energy, too much. And it's too fast. If the Holy Maiden seems to have been made by him and the Shania family, then the nobles can still accept it. But now it seems that Rhodes got the statue of the Holy Maiden and the process of making it entirely by himself. How did he do it, how was it possible? What secrets are hidden behind this man? What exactly does he want to do?

For such a question, Rod was in no mood to explain, and he had no way to explain it. So just put it aside and didn't ask——— the so-called lice are too much and itchy, and Rod himself understands that his problems are not only these. If you really want to talk about it, he is actually a "black household" in this world.

On the other hand, to Rhodes' surprise, the magic fleet also sent a representative to ask him about whether the statue of the Holy Maiden could be used in the air. This is also an unexpected development direction for Rhodes, but it is not surprising if you think about it, on the Dragon Canyon, he once activated the magic guide warship on the floating ship to turn the tide of the battle, and it is obvious that the magic guide fleet also knows about it. And it wasn't surprising that Rhodes would come up with such an idea, after all, there was already a precedent for magic cannons, and right now, they obviously valued the wide coverage of the Holy Maiden statue and the usefulness of the anti-death barrier to weaken the undead, so they planned to move it to the ship to use. I have to admit that this is indeed a good way, if it can be successful, then even if the undead want to bypass or deliberately stay away from the defense line to fight, then the Principality of Moon does not have to be afraid, if there are conditions, then they can even use the dual protection of the magic fleet and the statue of the Holy Maiden to launch a ground offensive against the undead army, turning defense into attack!

To be honest, Rhodes was indeed a little surprised after hearing the request of the magic guide fleet, the player had never done this in the game, not because the player was fixed-minded, but because at that time, the player couldn't get the design drawings of the magic guide battleship at all, and he couldn't make a floating battleship, so naturally it was impossible to think of such an idea. But I have to admit that it is indeed possible to do it, of course. Its weakness is also obvious, once the enemy takes the magic warship carrying the statue of the Holy Maiden as the primary target, then if the magic warship crashes, then everything is over. In this way, it is necessary to protect the magic warship in all directions, which is much more difficult than on the ground. But on the other hand, the Magic Battleship suspended high in the air can also prevent it from sneaking up on the enemy......... Think about it. That also seems like a good idea.

This matter was naturally handed over to Marlene to be responsible for negotiating with the representatives of the magic guide fleet, after all, the Shania family has always been responsible for building magic guide warships with the royal family, and she must be more familiar with those people than herself.

But this doesn't mean that Rod has nothing to do, especially after getting Sonya's report, Rod knows that his troubles are not so easy to end. He had already learned from Sonia what the Council of Light was currently saying about him and Lydia, and even Rhodes himself had to admit that Nackvand was indeed very good at stirring up people's hearts. As a human supremacist, he is well aware of the so-called "non-own people must have different hearts", this conspiracy theory is really praised, and combined with the council of the light has always been jealous of Lydia, there is indeed a certain market. Rhodes was even sure that if Nackfan had spoken in the square, he might have been able to stir up the emotions of the untruthful crowd of onlookers, and they would have succeeded in making Moon an enemy to be defeated.

The battle is not over. It's just a change of battlefield.

And there are many times when the battlefield in the rear is more tricky than the enemy in front.

On the face of it. The fortress of the Land of Atonement remained peaceful, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner under Rod's arrangement. Leo is currently in charge of training thieves, including Joey, and according to Joey's report, the progress is not bad, and the results are remarkable. As a Dark Elf, although Leo could not teach them the traits that belonged to the Dark Elves, it was only the assassination skills that the Dark Elves themselves had mastered. It was enough to benefit this group of thieves a lot.

On the other hand, with the key role shown in the last war, Bilan's heart has finally been recognized by his subordinates, and many soldiers have been respectful to this young lady who always looks lethargic in a robe. But deep down, I was a little disapproving. It was completely under the suppression of Marfa, Thor and others that they barely learned to obey orders. But after the battle of the fortress defense, when the heart of Bilan released the final ring of law, completely bombarded, and wiped out the undead legion, those voices of doubt and dissatisfaction against the heart of Bilan finally disappeared completely and completely, although the mercenaries still can't figure out whether the heart of Bilan is a mage or what, but the power she has is beyond doubt. This is another reason why in the game, Rhodes will let Bilan's heart be responsible for leading the army to attack head-on. Because when it comes to PK skills, Bilan's heart is actually not very good, unlike Rod, Canary and Little Bubble Gum who can fight all over the arena to the point where only the three of them are left to decide the winner. At the level of Brin's Heart, she's thankful that she made it to the third round of elimination.

This is also related to the characteristics of the magic master itself, the magic master itself has no combat power, the combat power of Bilan's heart is almost entirely from the outside world, this profession is a completely late-strike preemptive and controlled profession, if in a melee, Bilan's heart can survive to the late middle game, then it means that she will control the whole game, and it is almost certain that she will be able to win the championship. But on the other hand, in the early stage, the Demon Master was completely weak, and anyone could easily kill her. And the Demon Master is not without weakness, its biggest problem is that it can only copy skills, but it can't copy the opponent's strength attributes, so it suffers a lot in the face of pure, not relying on skills but on strength attacks. If Annie is allowed to fight against Bilan's Heart, the latter may have to kneel in Annie's hands for less than half a minute, because Annie doesn't need any skills to deal with Bilan's Heart at all, and if she directly smashes it with a shield, Bilan's Heart will be completely finished.

But commanding a large army does not have this problem, and Bilan's Heart can not only protect himself from the army, but also collect the opponent's offensive skills and spells without fail. And when the time is ripe, she only needs to swipe her finger lightly, and she can see the overwhelming spiritual arts, spells, and even all kinds of messy skills, and even the buff aura can completely explode in an instant, completely and completely destroying the opponent's defense and attack. This is another reason why Rhodes asked Blanc Heart to be in charge of commanding the army. Because the profession of the Demon Bachelor is too anti-human——— it actually doesn't have a blue bar!

On the Dragon Soul Continent, almost all professional release skills require the power of the soul, even Rhodes' summoned swordsman is no exception. But the reason why I say it is almost because there is a profession that does not require the power of the soul at all——— and that is the Demon Bachelor. In other words, if conditions allow, then Bilan's Heart can even release a legendary spell that is enough for dozens of high-level mages to unite in an instant, and it almost takes prostration to be able to release it together, and it can do nothing at all. Because the amount of power to release this spell did not come from her soul power at all, even if Bilan's Heart was released several times in a row, there would be no problem. But this is also a flawed profession, although the magic master does not need to consume soul power to release skills, but it also has its own flaws. If Bilan's Heart just wanted to release the skills recorded in the book, then she could re-release them with just a few fingers. But if Bilan's heart learns this skill and then releases it, it will take a "charging time", which is why the profession of the Demon Bachelor is so perverted, but he can't even beat the knockout round in the arena. Because competition is about speed and efficiency, it is impossible for Bilan's heart to respond enough in this situation, and others will not give her time to recharge. Even if she learned all the spells and skills of all professions in the entire Dragon Soul Continent, this existing flaw and weakness could not be remedied.

After the previous offensive and defensive battles, Blanc's heart has finally stabilized in the Land of Atonement, and now the recruits are no longer as presumptuous in front of her as before, and there is no need for Marfa and Thor to be there to shout and remind these guys not to be lazy there.

Everything seems to be on the right track.

Soon, however, the wind changed again.

Since the front line was once again under attack by the undead legions, and the Land of Light could not rely on its own strength to defend it, the Council of Light officially asked Moon to send troops to support the front line.

At the same time, a letter bearing the double seal of the Council of Light and the Archangel also appeared on Rod's desk.
