When he said this, Rod's expression was very calm, and his voice did not fluctuate, but in the ears of the two, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Represent the Parfield region and attend the Midsummer Festival......... This can only mean one thing, and that is that they're going to be in Guild Wars!

A mercenary group that has just been established actually wants to directly participate in the guild war?!

But.........

"But............ My lord, we are a mercenary group..............."

Shanna swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but say with some hesitation, even she, who had always been a little calm, finally had no way to maintain her usual calm in the face of this news.

"That's right, but we've made an agreement with the Mercenary Guild that if we can win at the Midsummer Festival, then the Mercenary Guild will recognize our Mercenary Guild status."

Hearing this, the two people who had not come back to their senses were immediately stunned again......... Mercenary Guild? Holy grace is above, are they actually going to become mercenary guilds? God, who can tell them that they are not dreaming? You must know that the Mercenary Guild is the biggest dream of all mercenary groups!!

"My lord, is this true?"

Cavos patted his head as if he hadn't fully recovered, his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Rhodes in front of him, but the latter only nodded slightly. But he didn't say anything more, but just this action was enough to make Cavos completely unsure of what to say............ That's a mercenary guild. I've struggled all my life, and I can't even see the shadow of the Mercenary Guild, and now, is it so close at hand?

"But, sir............ It's a difficult thing to do. ”

Shanna was the first to recover from the shock, and she was keenly aware of the meaning of Rod's words. I couldn't help frowning. Rhodes said "to be victorious at the Midsummer Sacrifice", which sounds prosaic. But think about it. You will find the true meaning inside——— which means that the Starlight Mercenary Group must not only participate in the Guild War, but also win the victory.

Is this possible?

For the mercenary group, the mercenary guild is the existence that stands tall. Each of their elites is stronger than the leaders of their own small mercenary groups, whether they are fighting alone or in groups. I don't have any chance of winning. And now, Rod says so......... Is he really that good at winning?

"It's not too much of a problem, I'm ready."

However, Shanna's question, Rod did not take it to heart at all. He waved his hand. Then he replied.

"Your task is to take care of the other people, let them go to the Golden City, there are many people on the other side, we can't fight alone, someone has to cheer us on, right?"

"Yes, sir. We'll do it right away. ”

Hearing this, Kavos and Shanna stopped thinking about the boring things before. Guild Wars! It's a guild war! Others worked hard to get such an opportunity, and they actually got it directly! Although the two of them have no idea whether they can win or not, but in any case, this is definitely a good opportunity to condense the strength of the team! Thinking of this, the two immediately changed their attitudes and left.

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

It wasn't until everyone had left that Rhodes let out a sigh and leaned back in his chair. Of course, he understood that this situation was very dangerous for Starlight, and the reason why the Mercenary Association gave the Parfield Branch this opportunity before was just a compromise with the other four guilds, it can be said that neither the Mercenary Guild nor the other guilds thought that the Starlight Society led by him was an obstacle. And Rhodes is certain that if the news gets out, it will cause an uproar not only in the Pafield area, but also in other places. After all, in any case, Rhodes's Starlight is just a mercenary group that has been established for less than half a year, and such a mercenary group can directly get the opportunity to duel with the four major mercenary guilds, and put it on the Midsummer Festival, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other mercenary groups. This is the nature of human beings, if a group of nobles with a lot of money and a long history of countless celebrities and brave generals have gathered there, then the commoners will only show envy and longing. But if there is an ordinary person with no identity, no money and no connections, then it will immediately become a target for attracting hatred——— everyone is the same, where can he stand for what he can, and we can't? …,

Rod believes that because of this mentality, I am afraid that few of the mercenary groups participating in the Midsummer Festival this time will not be friendly to them, and it is no wonder that they need to fight hard to participate in the out-of-circle competition before they can obtain the qualification to fight one of the four major mercenary guilds, but they don't need to do anything to obtain this qualification, and it would be a lie to say that there is no envy, jealousy and hatred.

So Rhodes can be sure that Starlight will be under a lot of pressure at the Midsummer Festival.

However, there is a bad side to everything, and there is a good side.

This kind of external pressure can be stressful, but it is also a good opportunity to consolidate team cohesion. Especially these mercenaries, although in Rod's plan, they will not appear in battle. However, this does not mean that they are useless, and the reason why Rod intends to go out with all his strength is because he wants to use this pressure to make his team more united. Even if these mercenaries didn't swear allegiance to Starlight to the death, if they found that almost everyone in this world was mocking, insulting, or even despising their mercenary group, they would definitely stand up and form a group to defend it. Maybe they have all kinds of dissatisfaction with their mercenary group in their hearts, but this is their own business, they can scold, but others can't say it!

Of course, Rhodes also knew very well that he was taking a risk. The mercenaries are desperately trying to maintain their mercenary group, but if the mercenary group does not give its own strength, then the pressure will not turn into motivation, but into destruction......... But Rhodes never worried about that. In the game, he leads Starlight, and he has seen all kinds of scenes. They started from nothing, went through everything, with contempt and hostility. But Starlight persevered, eventually. A legend has been achieved.

So. What makes the Starlight Guild one of the top legends in the game?

Popularity? Belief? Ideal?

Wrong, it's a victory.

Without results, there is nothing. If there is no victory, then hold on. Courage, faith, ——— exist meaninglessly. Of course. This phrase can also be said the other way around, without persistence, courage and faith. Then there will be no victory.

This is also the reason why Rhodes said before that he would win the Midsummer Festival. Originally, the Mercenary Guild's original words were that if they could perform well at the Midsummer Festival, then the Guild would consider making them mercenary guilds. But what are good grades? It's too vague, and Rhodes can't accept that assessment. In his opinion, since you want to do it, then you have to do the best, except for victory. He doesn't take anything. If the Starlight Mercenary Regiment could really become the number one in the face of such overwhelming resistance, then no one would have any doubts about their ability to advance to the Mercenary Guild!

As long as you can win. Everything is not a problem, but conversely, if victory cannot be achieved, then even a small problem is a big problem.

But Rhodes had already thought of a move.

"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Rod answered casually, and then the door opened, and soon, Serek's figure appeared from it, and when he saw Rode, Serek nodded to him with a wry smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Rhodes, I didn't expect you to have something to look for me."

At this point, Serek paused, then moved his gaze to Christie, who was holding a sketchpad and secretly looking at him. A gentle smile was revealed.

"This is Miss Christie? What a cute girl......... Hello, beautiful young lady, I'm Serek from the Mercenary Guild, and it's an honor to meet you. ”

“………… Hello, Serek......... I'm Christie..............."..., hearing Serek's self-introduction, Christie also timidly stood up and responded. Unlike others, girls rarely use a title when addressing others, but simply hand over their names. It might sound rude if it were someone else, but Christie's title always gives people a sense of innocence and purity, and few people want to be angry with a girl because of this kind of problem.

Serek was no exception, and after hearing Christie's greeting, the master swordsman smiled and nodded, and then sat down in front of Rod.

"Okay, I'm already here, Rod, what's the matter with you?"

"Why didn't I see that old guy?"

But Rod didn't answer Serek's question immediately, but pretended to look behind him——— of course, there was no one there.

"He's not coming, don't think about it."

Hearing Rod mention this, Serek couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his ears still echoed with the old guidle's roar when he heard that Rod had something to invite him to discuss——— which almost deafened the eardrums of this swordsman.

"Okay, anyway, I can also represent the Mercenary Association, what the hell is your business?"

"That's right."

It's okay to joke for one stage, but it's boring to open too much. So Rod no longer made a fuss about this issue, but quickly got to the point.

"The Midsummer Festival is just around the corner, so it's time for you to make the announcement. How do you think the other mercenary groups will react? Does the Mercenary Association have any plans for this? ”

"What else can we do?"

Hearing Rod's words, Serek smiled helplessly, of course he also understood that as soon as the list was announced this time, the entire Parfield area might really be turned upside down, but what could he do?

"I can only do my best to appease, after all, most mercenary groups also know their current situation, so I don't think there will be any major problems. Of course, there is only this that our mercenary association can do, and in the end it is up to you, if your performance at the Midsummer Festival is not satisfactory, then what our association does will be in vain. ”

"Of course I understand that."

Rod nodded.

"However, if it is only to be appeased, it is a little too late......... And even if you don't say it on the surface, you will have thoughts in your heart. At the moment we are facing a lot of trouble in the Pafield area, and at this time, our mercenary group should be united, not divided internally............ Do you think my words are right? ”

"This............ Absolutely. ”

Hearing Rod's words, Serek looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with some doubts, in his impression, Rod is not such a person? He was actually worried about the stability and unity of the mercenary group in the Pafield area? Hey, why didn't you worry about extinguishing the Emerald Tears before?

"Therefore, I have a proposal......... Since those mercenary groups are not convinced, then we can use a fair and just way to convince them to accept this arrangement. ”

"In what way?"

Hearing this, Serek couldn't help but feel a little interested, if there was really such a way, then it would naturally be the best for the Mercenary Association.

After seeing Serek's expression, Rhodes sat up straight, crossed his hands, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes.

"I can assure you that this is definitely the fairest and most just way that no one will complain."

ps: After the third watch, do you still have any remaining tickets in your hands?
