Chapter 142: Recuperation Period

To be on the safe side, Rhodes eventually blew up the entire tunnel connecting to the underground altar. Although the history of the game is made wrong by his own choices, Rod still chooses the most cautious way to avoid any accidents. After Celia searched the surroundings carefully and made sure that there was no sign of the devil or hell left, he blew up all the tunnels, and then escaped everyone's eyes, and quietly returned to the surface, no one except Old Walker knew what he had done. In fact, even the elder Walker himself didn't know much. Even the inhabitants of the underground were talking about another recent landslide, but it seemed to them to be a normal thing, and it was not so unusual.

But in the next few days, Deep Rock City did not calm down because of this, on the contrary, a major event made the entire Parfield mercenary group completely boil.

Because just two days later, the Mercenary Association announced that the Emerald Tears had applied for dissolution and reorganization

As soon as this news came out, the mercenaries were in an uproar.

They didn't believe it, how could this mercenary group, which originally seemed ambitious before and had gathered a lot of manpower, apply for dissolution and reorganization at this time. You know, this is a choice that only those small mercenary groups that can't do it because of the small number of people will make! Once the Mercenary Association accepts this application, it means that the Emerald Tears are completely finished!

Many people are wondering, why is the Jade Tears in less than half a month, there will be such a change?

And they got the answer very quickly.

After all, in the commission. In the circle of soldiers, a lot of news is not a secret at all, and even if it is a rumor, it is well-founded, not to mention a major event such as the disbandment and reorganization of the mercenary group.

They soon learned that the Emerald Tears had sent nearly two-thirds of their men to the Twilight Forest before, and it was unknown what they were doing, but the end result was that they were not able to return. This made the regiment leader Frank extremely angry, but then, he and the other members of the mercenary group went somewhere, and anyway, they never came back, and somehow disappeared.

So in the originally lively mercenary group, in the end, except for a few soy sauce goods, there was no one else. Not only that, but Frank's disappearance also put the Jade Tears mercenary group in a great predicament - money.

Originally, according to the plan, after absorbing these mercenaries, Frank was going to give them a sum of money, but now that the others are gone, the money is naturally gone. Unable to get the money, the mercenaries did not want to stay here any longer, believing that they had been deceived and demanded to leave. It's no wonder, it's like you finally found a job in the talent recruitment market, and then worked for less than half a month, only to find that the company has long been closed when you go to work again, and the boss is nowhere to be found, and no one can bear this situation!

Coupled with the fact that the Hell Spring was so important, Frank had only brought his own henchmen with him, and those he didn't trust. So after being eliminated by Rhodes, there was no one who could be responsible for half of the Jade Tears mercenary group, which made those mercenaries even more crazy. Eventually, they made a decision to apply to the Mercenary Association for dissolution and reorganization.

Because according to the regulations of the mercenary association, after the mercenary group that applies for dissolution and reorganization is forcibly disbanded, it will pay a severance pay to those mercenaries———- which is obviously the purpose of these mercenaries.

Since they can't get the money, they simply sell the mercenary group itself to get money, which is not surprising for this group of residues who can throw away anything for money.

So everyone was just a little emotional about what happened to the Emerald Tears, but they soon focused their attention on another very important issue. …,

The reason why Emerald Tears has become what it is now, the "disappearance" of most of the members and the head of the regiment must be the main problem. Of course, no one would be stupid enough to think that these guys are really missing. Because the number of "missing" mercenaries has reached more than 40 people, if you want to say that so many people are lost in the deep mountains and old forests, then it must be an IQ problem.

So a lot of people tend to think that they were killed.

Killed by whom?

Rod and his Starlight are naturally the number one suspects.

The reason is very simple, he has enough motivation to do these things, after all, at the previous mercenary joint meeting, all the mercenary captains heard his remarks about making the Emerald Tears disappear completely from front of him, and at that time, everyone only thought that this young man was domineering, but it was only when he said it casually, and he didn't take it too seriously. And now when the Jade Tears is really about to be completely disbanded, they find out——— it turns out that the kid is playing for real?

Not only that, according to the rumors within the Mercenary Association, after applying for investigation and reorganization, the Mercenary Association naturally sent someone to investigate the mercenaries of the Emerald Tears, and according to the testimony of one of them, it was confirmed that Frank had indeed sent a large group of mercenaries to the Twilight Forest before, and according to the information revealed by those people, it should have been to deal with Starlight.

But they never came back after that, and the head of Frank, who learned the news, also changed his countenance, and from that day on, he took his henchmen and some loyal followers to go out early and return late every day, and now, they are finally gone.

Naturally, the Mercenary Association also sent someone to inquire about Rod, but of course, Rod's reaction was that he didn't know anything and didn't know anything. This made the association very helpless, and not only that, but even Shearer, the leader of the Burning Blade, one of the three major mercenary groups, also stood up and supported Rhodes. This also made the Mercenary Association quite frustrated, and finally had to summarily conclude the investigation, and announced that after a month, if Frank did not show up again, the Association would start the process and forcibly dissolve the Emerald Tears.

After learning of the association's decision, many mercenaries couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world. Originally, when they were seriously injured, the Emerald Tears sprung up, relying on money to attract many people, and many mercenary groups regarded them as their most formidable opponents in the future. But I didn't expect the Emerald Tears to turn into a meteor in the sky, passing by, and after bringing a commotion to the entire mercenary circle, it ended inexplicably?

But that's all they can say.

Through this incident, the mercenaries perceive an existence that is even more dangerous than the Emerald Tears.

Rod.

It was no surprise that Rhodes would destroy the Emerald Tears. But what is frightening is that he can easily and completely deal with them so quickly without causing any commotion. This made many mercenary groups feel a kind of fear from the bone marrow. In normal times, no matter how fierce the battle between the mercenary groups is, it is impossible to have no clues at all. But this time, they really didn't have a clue. Those people were like stones sinking into the water, disappearing silently, with no survivors, no bodies, no evidence, nothing.

How powerful is this young man, who can completely destroy a mercenary group without interest?

Thinking of this, many mercenary groups were terrified, and they finally realized how dangerous this suddenly rising mercenary group was.

They don't want to fall like the Emerald Tears silently.

The leaders of these mercenary groups are not fools, in fact, the people who are mercenaries are mixed, there are those from humble backgrounds, and there are also some children of merchant families, they have money, time, and want to pursue adventure and excitement, so they come to be mercenaries, which is not surprising. Moreover, with the strength behind these people, they can barely maintain the livelihood of a mercenary group. These people are not stupid, they know that they can quietly bring a mercenary group with good strength to this point, and how powerful it needs to be to do it. Not to mention, Rod's Starlight is now ranked third, and the previous Burning Blade Commander Shearer has clearly shown solidarity with him, which shows that Rod's mercenary group is unlikely to cause any conflict in the front position. …,

Although generally speaking, among the mercenary groups in this area, the top three are the most likely to cause fighting, because they are the only ones who have the opportunity to snatch the place for promotion to the mercenary guild. But in the Pafield area, the situation is somewhat strange. The Burning Blade has been tossing and turning back and forth for so long in the past few years, and his heart seems to have faded. It doesn't seem to be so active in promoting the mercenary guild, and the dark fang, who is the "second in ten thousand years", has never thought about that position. Originally, the mercenaries thought that the two giants might be hostile to the sudden starlight, but now Shearer's friendly gesture completely shattered their expectations.

He has a good relationship with the mercenary group at the top of the list, and he also has a good relationship with Serek, a legendary figure in the mercenary association, and has a powerful reality that can make dozens of people in a mercenary group "disappear" silently

Now that Starlight has completely become the number one person that all the mercenary groups in the Parfield area are most reluctant to mess with, they have given orders to their subordinates to stay away from Starlight and not to break out into any conflicts, especially not to mention his face in front of Rod——— because according to unreliable information, this may be one of the main reasons why Rhodes eliminated the Emerald Tears.

Everything that he has worked so hard to build for the sake of a sentence is in the blink of an eye, and no one wants to do this kind of thing except a fool.

Of course, they didn't plan to say that they were going to join forces to deal with Starlight, not to mention that Emerald Tears' behavior of waving money to dig corners from them was really infuriating and wanted to let them die, and Starlight never showed that strong unreasonable attitude, on the contrary, they helped other mercenary groups one after another to rescue them from danger, which made Starlight's reputation among mercenaries still good. After all, a mercenary group that can save people from danger and fire, and a bastard who will only take advantage of the fire to rob and dig corners, no one will choose the latter. After all, if you have a good relationship with the former, if you have any difficulties in the future, you may be able to get his help. But no matter how good the bastard is with the Jade Tears, when they are unlucky, they will definitely only fall into the well.

Rhodes is not unaware of what the outside world says about him, but he has remained silent, and this awe and suspicion will have a lot of benefits for his future actions. Mercenaries like to fight fiercely with each other, and Rhodes is not willing to waste time on this unnecessary confrontation, so it is also a good choice to make the front a little bigger and let other mercenary groups retreat.

However, it was a little pity for him that Barney and the middle two and a half elves were lucky enough to survive. And this is actually to blame for Rohdes, after the conflict at the entrance of the mercenary association, Frank was quite angry with the two idiots and classified them as persona non grata. Because of this, these two guys were blessed by misfortune and escaped the catastrophe.

Although it was a little uncomfortable that he was not able to take out these two annoying guys easily, but for Rod, they were just little bugs, and there was no need to pay attention to them. After returning to the Mercenary Association, Rhodes first focused on his own upgrades.

By destroying those demonized mercenaries and Frank, coupled with the experience given by the mission, Rhodes finally broke through the eighteenth level, and there were still two more levels to advance. And the skill points in his hands have also reached 9 points, before he left two skills at level 16, and now with the addition of four points at level 17 and level 18, and the three points given to him after the task is completed, it is really a bumper harvest for Rhodes for a while.

And how to use these skill points has now become a very troublesome problem for Rhodes. Clear
