"Is there such a thing?"

Rhodes pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Labis in front of him, who was tightly pulling his hood and wrapping his whole body in it, I have to say, every time I see Labis like this, Rhodes wants to complain why she is so afraid of herself, is she really afraid that she will eat her?

But now is not the time to complain.

"I know, you go back, remember, don't forget to finish your work."

"It's good, Captain."

Hearing Rod's words, Labis immediately let out a long breath, and as a result, she quickly turned around and fled from Rod's tent like a criminal who had been granted amnesty, and looking at the girl's panicked back, Rhodes only sighed helplessly, but didn't say anything~ In fact, he didn't have anything to say.

The state of lì was not unexpected by Rod, and some things were not something that you could overcome if you said you could overcome them. Although Lì Jie has worked hard, in the end she has not been able to break the shadow in her heart. This is not surprising, although in Lì Jie's opinion, she has worked hard to achieve this. But Rod knew very well that Lìjie had just been subconsciously avoiding all this, but now, when she could no longer escape, her mind was irrepressibly problematic. Although Marlene said that he could help her, Rhodes didn't think that Marlene could help her much, after all, she didn't go through that incident, so she couldn't understand Lìjie's thoughts, and Rhodes thought that one of the most things in the world was that a person who had never experienced the same thing said to another person in a sympathetic tone, "I understand your feelings". This is pure nonsense, you haven't experienced it, how can you possibly understand other people's feelings?

But the help that Rhodes himself can give is also very limited, he knows that this kind of thing cannot rely on others, if Lìjie can not cross this hurdle by herself, then no one can help her. However, Rhodes also understands that it is very difficult to want Lìjie to take the initiative to leap forward.

But for Rod, there is a better opportunity now.

After learning of the danger of the Burning Blade mercenary group, Rhodes decided to rescue them, which was a bit dangerous, but also a good opportunity to train his men. And after the fall of the floating boat, Rhodes had always suspected that the wind snakes were indulged by people. Now the encounter of the Burning Blade Mercenary Group is unusual, it is very likely that they ran into the guy who cāo the Wind Snake and fell into the other party's encirclement. Otherwise, there would not have been thousands or so many of ordinary wind snakes. And if that's the case, then for Rod, this is also a good opportunity for revenge, and he won't easily let go of those who have hurt him.

Before, when Rhodes had just come to this world and was seriously injured, he was able to break the encirclement of the other party and get out of the attack, but now Rhodes is no longer the "weak" guy he was at the beginning, he is about to be promoted, he has enough strength to deal with these troubles, not to mention, he still has a trump card ..........

After a day's rest, Labis finally completed the task given to her by Rhodes and handed Rhodes a bag full of potions with two dark circles under her eyes. Originally, the poor girl was going to go back to make up for sleep, but she didn't expect that Rhodes would turn his face and deny people immediately after getting the things, and announced without hesitation that the mercenary group would set off immediately, which made the tragic Labis have to make a bitter face and helplessly follow everyone to continue on the road.

On the contrary, Lì Jie seemed to have completely forgotten what happened last night, and at this moment she was following Labis's side, casting a few rejuvenating spells for her, while whispering to comfort her, looking nothing unusual, exactly the same as peace. …,

"But I really didn't expect that uncle to be killed"..."

Following behind Rod, Anne was still the same grinning face, nibbling on the apple in her hand that she didn't know where to pick it, and sighed with emotion.

"Do you know that gentleman?"

Hearing Anne's self-talk, Marlene, who was walking beside her with a staff in her hand, asked in a low voice with some curiosity.

"Say I don't know him, but I have seen him a few times with the old head of the regiment before, and unlike the head of the regiment, he is a taciturn guy, who often doesn't even say half a word a day with a straight face. I remember the first time I went to see him, and throughout the day, he replied to his subordinates with the word um, well. Frankly, at the time I really thought he wasn't a dumb man who couldn't speak. ”

Anne chuckled at this.

"It's just that that uncle is really powerful, I'm afraid it's too much compared to the head of the regiment? He's very strong, especially that sword, well, it's such a bully. And he, like the regimental commander, is the type who will not show mercy to women......... Well, I think the head of the regiment might be a good fit for that uncle? ”

"Haaa......"

Hearing Anne's answer, Marlene glanced at Rhodes, who was walking in front, with a somewhat complicated expression, and finally said nothing.

After that, Rhodes refused the mercenary's request to bring a message to the Mercenary Guild himself, as it seemed to him to be a waste of time. When they leave the Twilight Forest to find the Mercenary Guild, and then the Mercenary Guild mobilizes people to kill them back, maybe the Burning Blade Mercenary Group will be a thing of the past forever. Moreover, the Wind Snake was only a low-level monster after all, and it was much easier than the undead, so Rhodes finally decided to let the mercenary take the road to the location of the Burning Blade mercenary group and try to rescue them.

Although the mercenary was a little skeptical about Rod's assurance, he also knew very well that it would be too late to find the mercenary guild now, so it was better to be a dead horse and a horse doctor and let them try. And before, Rhodes and they had rescued the "Victory Wine" from the silent highlands. "At least this kind of strength is in front of us, and it shouldn't be too bad.

After a day of rapid marching, in the evening, Rod and the others finally came to the encirclement site under the leadership of the mercenary.

"That's it, that's it."

Pointing to the forest not far away, the mercenary wiped his sweat and whispered helplessly.

"Captain, they're trapped there, if we don't hurry........."

In fact, even without him saying it, everyone could see the strange scene above the forest at this moment.

Countless wind snakes formed a neat formation, hanging over the forest like clouds, and from time to time they circled and rushed towards the lower part of the forest, and then flew up again. And all around, you can see a lot of wind snakes scattered scattered, it seems to be on guard.

Sure enough, there was someone behind the cāo longitudinal.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Rhodes could be completely sure that this was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. This is how contract mages fight, and they can control a group by mastering the soul of the leader of a monster pack. Similar to summoning swordsmen, they also rely on crowd tactics to achieve victory.

However, unlike summoning swordsmen, they do not have the ability to send and receive freely, like this, thousands of wind snakes can only be carried out in the wild, and they must ensure that the head beast that signed the contract with them does not die, otherwise not only will the monsters no longer obey the orders of the contract mage, but may even harm themselves. …,

"It's a contract mage."

Marlene also quickly sensed the problem, she frowned slightly, and her face was a little embarrassed.

"Can you find him? With such a large number of monsters, maybe he should have the ability to be within three of the central ring, and the head beast he controls is likely to be at the lord level. ”

"It's useless to find out, it's self-defeating for us."

Rod shook his head and denied Marlene's idea, although it is an iron law to shoot people and horses first and capture thieves and capture the king first, but it also depends on the situation, now there are so many wind snakes, if they can't sneak attack in the first place, they will be annoyed to death by the monsters summoned by the other party, and this is not what Rhodes wants.

"Our main goal is to join up with the Burning Blade first, with Shearer's help, I'm sure it will be easier to deal with those guys, and you have to be prepared to leave as soon as it gets dark."

I have to say that Shearer seems to be a very smart person, in the face of such a large round of wind snakes, he can still calmly bring his subordinates to the forest to resist the attack of the other party with the help of dense bushes, this is a difficult decision to make, ordinary people see so many wind snakes, I am afraid they have long been scared.

Now it seems that the No. 1 Mercenary Regiment in the Pafield area is indeed not in vain.

While giving the order, Rhodes took the time to look at Lì Jie a few more times. At this time, the girl was expressionless, just sat quietly next to her, looking at the wind snakes in the distance with a complicated look flashing in her eyes, Rod did not go out of his way to comfort her, he knew very well that if Lì Jie could rely on her own strength to take this step, then next, she would be in the sky.

Night falls.

Under Rod's order, the mercenaries, who had already been ready, set off immediately, and they lurked in the forest, blocking the gaze of the wind snakes with the help of dense branches and leaves, and slowly marched forward. At first, they were very smooth, and the wind snakes hovering in the air did not even think to go into the forest to search, for they were cramped, very dangerous and difficult to move. This is also the reason why this population is always active on the plains, for which the leafy forest is definitely not the best choice.

But soon, the crowd was in danger.

As they went deeper into it, there were more and more wind snakes, and they didn't come to target Rhodes and the others, on the contrary, they came here to attack the enemies they were supposed to destroy.

"It's not going to go on like this, Mr. Rhodes."

Marlene held the staff, frowned at the sound of flapping wings in the forest not far away, and the hissing roar, and said with some uneasiness.

"Although the Wind Snake is poorly visible in the dark, according to the literature, they are very sensitive to sound, and in such a large forest, we ......"""

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

As he spoke, Rhodes took out four vials of potion from his pocket and tossed them to Shanna, Anne, and Lando.

"Turn it on."

Hearing Rod's order, the three of them quickly opened the potion bottle in their hands, and soon, an unpleasant, pungent smell immediately appeared from it and penetrated into the surroundings.

P.S. The third watch really wants my life...... Two shifts have been restored...... TT outbreaks are really not what I'm good at".... ）
