【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!
Walking out of the passage, the dazzling sunlight made everyone squint their eyes for a while, and the huge noise and noise turned into tangible entities and rushed towards them, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath for a while, as if this wave would completely engulf them. Soon, the light faded, and it was only then that they could see the arena in front of them clearly.
Everyone except Rhodes was silent.
It's not that they haven't experienced a similar situation, in the underground Colosseum of Deep Rock City, Annie and the others have already experienced it once, but how can that colosseum with simple decoration and dilapidated colosseum be compared to this sacred arena?
As far as the eye can see, the surrounding darkness is full of people, and the sacred arena that can accommodate 100,000 people is full, and just being in it will give people the illusion of being completely swallowed by this sea of people. Not to mention the torture when the noisy conversations mingle and turn into meaningless noise.
"The Holy Soul is on ........."
Joey walked out of the passage with a slight tremble, he stared at the crowd around him in horror, although the three-meter-high wall ensured that it was impossible for those crowds to tilt down from above and completely drown them in it, but for such a scene, he was still scared and trembled, and his mind was blank. The others weren't much better, Lando and Labis turned pale, and Lizzie put her hands to her chest and breathed deeply, trying to calm down. But this is not an easy thing to do, as long as you think for a while that you will become the center of attention of so many people, no normal person will be so easy to calm down.
So I won't talk about Annie, an abnormal person.
When the Starlight people appeared in the ring, the noise around them suddenly increased a lot, which made Li Jie and the others feel overwhelmed, they stared blankly at this terrible black crowd, completely unaware of what these people were talking about. They could only feel from the sudden increase in volume that the other party should be talking about themselves, but what they said was completely inaudible, all kinds of voices came from all directions, as if countless flies surrounded their ears, not only that, but even if they wanted to talk to each other, they couldn't hear what the other party was saying at all.
How can it be so scary?
Just when everyone looked at each other and felt uneasy, suddenly, they felt the noise in their ears become smaller, but after only a few seconds, the noise suddenly changed again, and then turned into a loud cheer!
That's right, it's cheers!
The sudden cheer made Labis's legs go limp, and she sat down on the ground, and the others were no better, and in front of the cheers that soared into the sky, they were like small animals about to face a flood beast, nervously curled up their bodies and looked around. And at this time, they saw that on the other side of the ring, people from the Heavenly Sword Guild appeared.
It seems that these cheers are for them.
Although Rhodes had already greeted them before, Lijie and the others still couldn't figure out why a mercenary guild would have such a powerful influence?
It's no wonder that they have been living in Parfield, where the Mercenary Guild is not strong, and Shearer's Burning Blade has never had any momentum, so Lijie and the others are actually not familiar with the influence of the Mercenary Guild. They only know that the influence of the Mercenary Guild is very high, but to what extent, no one knows the Dao. …,
However, Rhodes is well aware.
One of the most important reasons why mercenary guilds are popular among the population is that they are an unofficial organization that represents the interests of the local population. Mercenary guilds govern a region, and at the same time naturally have an impact on the people of those regions. Take the four major mercenary guilds as an example, the Eagle of Cole represents the chamber of commerce and the regime on the plateau, while the Purple Lily Guild represents the poor people in the desolate land, the backing of the self-righteous wings is the poor class of the southern harbor, and the power of the Heavenly Sword Guild is the rich and aristocratic elites in the south.
It is precisely because the interests of both sides complement each other that the mercenary guild will be concerned and popular, and of course, it is precisely because of this that the contradictions between them are irreconcilably deep. Just as regional discrimination exists in every country in the world, the major mercenary guilds that rely on the region to develop are naturally incompatible with each other.
Among them, the contradiction between Cole's Eagle and the Heavenly Sword is actually the simplest, because they represent the ruling class and the Chamber of Commerce of the Royal Party and the elite and merchant group of the reformers, respectively, and the goal of the two sides is simple, that is, to compete for the ruling power of the entire Duchy of Moon. The royal party tried hard to suppress the reformers, and the reformers tried hard to overthrow the royal party and establish their own ruling class. This is an obvious and irreconcilable contradiction, so it is simpler, nothing more than a struggle for power.
But compared to them, the contradiction between the purple lily and the poor masses represented by the wings of self-sacrifice is the most complicated. It is said that the poor hate the rich, but in fact, the poor also look down on each other, and these two guilds are representatives. The reason for this is simple, the Southern Seaports believe that the royal family of the Duchy of Moon takes too much care of the Deserted Land, but neglects their lives. But the people of the Desert are opposed to this, for example, the poor people in the southern seaports are the kind of people who cannot afford to eat white bread, but can eat black bread, and try to have white bread to eat. Therefore, their requirement for the royal family is to eat at least white bread for their own meals.
But on the other hand, because of the environment itself, the people in the desolate land are unable to eat white bread, and they can eat black bread if they work hard, and they can only starve to death if they don't work hard and have nothing to eat. So their expectation is to be able to eat at least black bread and white bread......... They don't think about it for a while.
So the conflict between the two places lies in this, the people in the deserted place think that the group of white idiots in the southern harbor just want to sit and eat empty, lazy to death, you at least have black bread to eat, we can't even eat black bread, don't help us, can you still help you? What kind of truth is this? But on the other hand, the Southern Harbor's statement on the desolate land is that it is your business that you can't eat black bread, but you can't take away our right to eat white bread, if you are not so incompetent that you can only be a slave of the royal family, how can you be exploited and can't even eat black bread? But we are not your brainwashed slaves, we have our own pursuits and expectations, and it is our legitimate right to eat white bread, do you care? And even if we are poor, we have self-justification and dignity for being poor, even if we starve to death in the sewers, that is our choice for self-pity. What about you guys? Even if you are poor, you don't have any self-justification and dignity, and if you don't rise up to resist, you deserve to starve to death.
Of course, the people in the desolate land don't like to hear this, if it weren't for the royal family, they wouldn't even be able to eat black bread now, I'm afraid they would have starved to death, and it was you damn southerners who obviously wanted to cut off our way of life and let us starve to death, what does it have to do with the royal family? And say we deserve to starve to death? Bah, you scumbags, you ..................,
It is precisely because of this kind of conflict between the regions that the people of each region look down on each other, of course, they themselves are citizens of the Duchy of Moon after all, and it is impossible to say that they are engaged in any kind of warlord independent scuffle or something, and the mercenary guild has become their best sustenance. They can't fight themselves, and it's impossible to rush to the battlefield with swords to defeat each other, so the Midsummer Festival, which represents the victory and defeat between the mercenary guilds in each region, has become a means for these regions to resolve conflicts——— at least it's much better than a real fight, isn't it?
But the Pafield area is very embarrassing, although they belong to the royal party, but because there has never been a guild to represent themselves, so they keep a low profile. They were not able to reconcile the contradictions between the royal party and the reformists. But because of this, at such a time, it is impossible for them to come to the Midsummer Festival and support the guild in their own area from the bottom of their hearts. This is undoubtedly bad news for Rod. Moreover, Parfield is rich in bounty, and there is no bitterness with the rest of the region, and their status is as if they were on the map of the Duchy of Moon, as a bridge between the north and the south......... And then there was no then.
Without enemies, there is no cohesion, there is no goal, and naturally there are no supporters. Therefore, Rhodes's Starlight can be said to be a real lone battle, in this arena of 100,000 people, except for the less than a hundred people in his own mercenary group, no one is a supporter of Starlight, which is a complete hell for them.
In fact, no one believed that Starlight would be victorious.
"Heavenly Sword! Heavenly Sword! Heavenly Sword! ”
Cheers erupted throughout the arena, and many people called out the names of the Heavenly Sword Guild, bursting out with unparalleled enthusiasm. This scene made Li Jie and the others' faces even paler as paper——— they even felt that it was a complete mistake for them to stand here, no one was willing to help them, no one would give them support, they could hardly see any allies here——— of course, the people of the Starlight Mercenary Group were on the high platform not far behind them, but when Li Jie and the others subconsciously turned their heads and wanted to seek support, they could only see a black and overwhelming crowd behind them.
I can't even see who is inside.
It made them feel very frustrated.
At the same time, a thought that had never appeared before, more terrible than nervousness, appeared in their minds.
"Can we still win?"
But for Rhodes, it's not a question of whether or not it is.
He took nothing but victory.
Compared with the nervous appearance of the others, Rhodes was very calm, he stared coldly at the five people on the other side of the ring, and then, without looking back, he stretched out his hand and waved his hand at Joey.
"Joey, play, remember what I said......... Lose decently. ”。 )
