Standing on the high platform, Rhodes watched the crowd in the distance come towards him, he reached out, straightened his collar, and walked slowly down the stairs. At this time, everyone had already seen the young lord under the guidance of Agapy.

"Hello, Count Rhodes."

Sir Bair dismounted, strode up to Rod, stretched out his right hand and struck it on his chest, and saluted him.

"The Thirteenth Local Legion of Sofia, I have come to support on the orders of Her Highness Lydia, and I am the Legion Commander Kolov. Greetings, Lord Earl. ”

"You're welcome, Sir Bair."

The expression on Rod's face was as calm as ever, and he didn't seem to have the slightest change in emotion, he just looked at the old knight in front of him, and then nodded.

"On behalf of the Fortress of the Land of Atonement, I thank you for your assistance, the war against the undead is naturally as many people as possible, and it is a blessing for us to see our comrades here who have the courage to step forward and fight side by side in the face of the tide of death."

Hearing Rod's words, the old knight's heart was also a lot more relaxed, originally in the Moon country, a visual evaluation of the nobles for Rod was that he was a very proud and conceited young man. And he didn't look like he was very respectful of the old man, and this time Sir Byr was a little worried about whether Rhodes would show dissatisfaction with himself and the others, but now it seemed that although the young earl's face was expressionless, what he said was quite pleasant. Originally, he thought that Rhodes ignored himself and others, and he didn't have a good face. Now it looks like their life here may be much better.

Although his heart was a little relaxed, the expression on the old sir's face was still very serious, and he only nodded slightly.

"It is our duty to fight against the invasion of the undead. However, it is really surprising that the Earl is so young and can lead his subordinates to repel the stormy attacks of the undead twice, and it seems that we old fellows can no longer keep up with the times. ”

"You're serious, Sir Bair."

Hear here. Rod shook his head slightly.

"The old man also has the experience of the old man, there is an old saying in my hometown, there is an old man in the family is like a treasure, although we have resisted the enemy's attack, but as you can see, my men are just some new soldiers, and it will definitely make them feel a lot more relieved to have experienced soldiers to fight with them."

Saying this, the two glanced at each other. They both saw the smile in each other's eyes——— although this is all nonsense, but this is also a passing scene that the nobles must go through when they meet, Sir Baier praised Rhodes without a trace, and Rod obviously knew this, so he praised the old sir in return. To put it in an official phrase, of course...............

The meeting between the two sides was held in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

While this is nonsense, both sides know that this is necessary nonsense, and that this force will be stationed in the fortress of the Land of Atonement for a long time. And they are likely to be the reinforcements that Rhodes can rely on the most, and the War Angel Legion is strong because of its strong force. Therefore, it is likely that they will be transferred when the war is tight, so that the only army from Sofia who can fight with them in this fortress will be able to fight with them. If he could, of course Rhodes didn't want to be evil with the other party, not to mention that the people had shown kindness at the moment, and it was naturally impossible for him to drag the appearance of two hundred and fifty eighty thousand nostrils facing the sky, unless he wanted his fortress to be peaceful in the days to come. An army like this that fights in a joint operation is most afraid of discord among its superiors. If such a situation occurs, then Rhodes will be in trouble for the rest of his life, after all, many times, the fortress begins to collapse from the inside. Rod didn't want his fortress to become the tragic scum of the Ishelon or Marchedon lines.

At this time, Rod saw a young man with short maroon hair next to him walking forward with a smile. He bowed respectfully to himself.

"Hello, Lord Earl, I am Frederick, I have heard your name Lord Lord for a long time, I ............ Ah!!! ”

Before the young man's words could be finished, it turned into a cry of pain, and then Rod saw beside him, a girl shrouded in a white fur robe hurriedly walked up, intentionally or unintentionally stopped the young man behind him, and then raised his head and looked at Rode.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Rhodes, please forgive him for being rude, he didn't mean to..............."

"You are ..............."

Rod stared at the girl in front of him, and after a moment, he frowned slightly.

"Miss Serena?"

"Yes, Lord Rhodes, I didn't expect you to remember me."

Hearing Rod's words, a surprised expression appeared on the girl's face, she didn't have much communication with Rhodes in the envoy group at the beginning, so this mage lady originally didn't have expectations about whether Rod remembered herself, but now it seems that Rhodes actually remembers herself, which makes Serena really surprised. She hurriedly stretched out her hand and respectfully performed a mage's courtesy to Rod.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Rhodes, Frederick didn't mean to, he was just too ......... This ........."

"You don't have to say it."

Looking at Serena's appearance, Rhodes waved his hand, and at the same time he glanced at the young knight with short pale chestnut hair next to him. At this time, Frederick still had a hippie smile, he looked at Rod, bowed slightly, but there was no regret or timidity at all——— which was really interesting.

"I understand that Mr. Frederick has no ill intentions, and I know a thing or two about him."

This time Rod was not polite, but in fact, a large part of the reason why he was able to remember Serena was due to Frederick. In the game, this is a very famous pair, especially Frederick, in the Duchy of Moon, Frederick is also a very powerful field commander, and he is basically good at raiding behind enemy lines and guerrilla warfare, which is somewhat similar to Rhodes. Although there are many field commanders who are good at this, considering that the enemies of the Duchy of Moon are undead legions, it is very dangerous to fight guerrillas and sneak attacks behind them, especially since Frederick is not a player, but an NPC. This speaks even more to his abilities. However, such a good commander has a very polarized evaluation of him among players, and in the game, Frederick has been out fighting with his fiancée Serena, leading his men and recruiting some players to help him complete his mission. These don't look much different from other NPCs. But there is one thing that is strange about Frederick, and that is his character.

This genius commander has a big grin at all times, and his fiancée, Serena, is the typical type of seriousness. The most ridiculous thing for players is that these two people always sing and harmonize when they talk, as if they are talking about husband and wife, and they often make people laugh, and players play games with a picture of entertainment, and being able to fight while listening to cross talk is of course a good thing for many people. Therefore, there is always no shortage of players under Frederick, many of whom have joined their army specifically to listen to their husband and wife's cross talk, and this eldest young master has a lot of thinking and often says some "amazing words". It's kind of an alternative.

Their fate is not so tragic in the game, after the defeat of Lydia and the demise of Moon, Frederick did not still organize an army to fight against the undead like the others, on the contrary, he immediately took Serena and his subordinates to the Tour de France after learning the news, and then officially married Serena there, and then became a member of the Tour de France as a mage guard.

At that time, Frederick's actions surprised many people. Some people think that the eldest young master has made a smart choice, after all, Moon has perished. Everything he could have done had already been done, and since he no longer had the country for which he had given his life, there was nothing wrong with simply starting to think about his personal well-being. And some people think that he is free and loose, and has no loyalty and patriotism——— at least compared to those heroes who still fight after the destruction of the country by Moon, sneaking away to eat soft rice at the Tour de France and eating it so justifiably is indeed unpleasant to many people.

However, Rhodes doesn't have any special thoughts about this, the so-called people have their own aspirations. And he could understand Frederick's thoughts to some extent.

"Look, Serena."

Hearing Rod's words, Frederick's eyebrows immediately fluttered.

"I told you a long time ago that I'm not bad in the north, and I'm fine. You see, now even the Earl has heard of my name, how is it? Doesn't that prove my skills? ”

"You...... You shut up! Now is not the time to talk about that! ”

Hearing Frederick's words, Serena looked angry and funny, she looked at Rod with some uneasiness, and then glared at her fiancé fiercely.

"You don't look at what kind of occasion this is, it's really ..............."

"It's because it's like this, you have to behave well, don't you?"

"You idiot, I didn't mean this............ You ........."

It's really interesting.

Seeing these two people singing and harmonizing in front of him, Rod couldn't help but laugh a little, and he even wanted to stand here and admire these two people and see when they could speak. However, Rhodes also remembered that this was a formal occasion at the moment, so he made a joke and mixed up the matter, anyway, these two people will stay in the fortress for a long time in the future, and he is not afraid of running out of time for entertainment...............

The two sides have made a good start, so the next introduction will naturally be much more logical. This time, in addition to them, Sir Bair and his party also had representatives from the two legions of Radiance Banner and Glorious Blade, and they each brought fifty well-trained elite infantry to reinforce them, which was not a small number, but the quality was much higher than that of Rhodes's soldiers. The representatives of these two armies are typical of unsmiling, and they are also very serious and rigid when greeting Rod, but when Rod's "sincerely" invites them to practice their recruits, the attitude of these two representatives is also much looser.

The last is the representative of some local nobles in Sophia, they seized this opportunity to slap Rhodes's ass, and the numbness of the words made Rhodes feel sour, if it weren't for the other party's scruples, he would be his own people, Rhodes really wanted to cut directly with a sword to make this group of guys' chattering mouths close forever.

There weren't many people on Rod's side who attended the greeting, only Marlene and Lijie, as well as the three of Seven Loves, were around. Anne had never been interested in such things. I'm still sleeping in the house at the moment. Labis's eyes lit up at the alchemy workshop she had built in the mage tower, and she would probably not come out even if the undead army came to her in person. Little Bubblegum went to practice the group of spirit masters in the church——— although the country of law will not join the battle, but the church will join, and it is good to take this opportunity to enhance the combat ability of those spirit teachers in the church.

The Canary, on the other hand, was even busier, and the recruitment of mage apprentices was going well, and many people rushed to learn under this young, beautiful and brilliant legendary mage. However, the canary himself is only responsible for the teaching of practical skills. As for the basic theory of magic or something, although the player doesn't need it, but these aborigines have to understand a little bit of what they say, and they haven't heard of it and start learning multiplication and division without knowing how to add or subtract. Fortunately, although the people brought by Marlene's men from the academy were not strong, they were extremely rich in theoretical knowledge, and Rhodes selected two members from them who were not so heavy to join the Canary's Mage Tower to teach magic theory. Although everything is simple because of the proximity of the war, there is always a process. So at the moment the canary doesn't have time to be here to take care of these troublesome little things.

Bilan's heart and Christie also didn't show up, the former needed to oversee the army's training, and the latter's status was not suitable for such an occasion——— it wasn't a family gathering after all.

"Hoo ....................."

After some pleasantries, Rod asked Agameve to lead the others to the guest room to rest, looking at the backs of everyone in the distance, he sighed, and then looked at the people around him.

"How?"

"I want to ............ There shouldn't be any problems. ”

Marlene shook her head slightly.

"At least for now, it seems that they are still quite normal, and the military will not have any thoughts about Rhodes at this time. But it's hard to say on the aristocratic side. ”

"I think the little guy named Frederick is interesting, don't you think so, master?"

Seven Lovers said with a grin. The big fluffy tail dangled behind her, and hearing her speak, Marlene and Lijie also showed a bit of crying and laughing expressions on their faces——— it was obvious that he and Selina had also seen the double reed before. And at this moment, suddenly a voice sounded.

"Report to your Excellency."

"Joey? How's it going? ”

Hearing this, Rod was not surprised, he turned his head. Looking towards the place where the sound came from, I soon saw the figure of the young thief. Feeling Rod's gaze, Joey hurriedly lowered his head and respectfully saluted the few people in front of him before speaking.

"Everything was figured out. My lord, most of the group was not suspicious, but there was a small number of people who looked sneaky, some of them had blended in with the crowd since they entered the city, but the brothers had followed. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows. He is not a fool, in fact, after these reinforcements entered the city, Rhodes sent Lando and Joey to sneak in to investigate and find out the composition of these people, which Marlene had also reminded him before that many people were very curious and concerned about the strength around Rhodes, and they would definitely secretly investigate. Rhodes is also mentally prepared for this, he can let Lydia investigate, that is because Lydia is the archangel, no matter what, there will be no big trouble. But these guys are different, and Rhodes doesn't want them to burrow around like rats. But I didn't expect these guys to be in such a hurry and start acting so quickly.

"What about their identities? Have you investigated clearly? ”

"It's a nobleman's privateer, a nobleman's subordinate."

"Tyman?"

Rod recalled for a moment, and quickly remembered that this person also appeared in the delegation just now, but it was very inconspicuous, if Rod remembered correctly, he was just a small nobleman in the place, and his performance just now seemed to be decent, nothing special. But now with the news from Joey, things are a little intriguing. If you want to find out the news, you can't help but be a little anxious. Going on the road in such a hurry, could it be that his subordinates are all a bunch of idiots?

"You should have sent someone to keep an eye on the big army, and be careful of being diverted from the mountain."

"Don't worry, boss."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Joey hurriedly patted his chest and said confidently.

"We're not stupid, that group is not very numerous, we only divided a few people to follow it, and the rest are still staring at the big army, if they have any trouble, we can get information immediately."

"Very well, then you go ahead and report back immediately if you have any problems."

Speaking of this, Rod paused, and at this time, Qilian suddenly moved her ears, and then she glanced at Rod quickly. At this moment, Rhodes also seemed to sense something, he turned his head and looked at the fox-eared girl beside him. Soon, he got the answer from the soul fluctuations in his heart.

The undead appeared. (To be continued......)
