Finally, under the leadership of Agame, everyone came to the outside of Rod's study on the top floor of the fortress stronghold, the pitch black, heavy solid wood door looked full of majesty and oppression, looking at the gate in front of him, Thor couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Behind him, there were a few half-demon descendants who were also extremely uneasy, no matter what, an existence that can master elves, angels and demons, just imagining it is enough to make people feel frightened and uneasy, but Agameve obviously did not intend to understand the feelings of these guests who came from afar, the sea elves didn't even look at the people behind them, just walked forward, stretched out their hands and knocked lightly on the door, and then spoke.

"Master, they have arrived."

"Come in."

A muffled voice came from inside the door, and upon hearing it, Agamell opened the door, and then she turned sideways and made an inviting gesture to the half-demons beside her.

There is no way back for them.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Thor took a deep breath, then he tidied up his clothes, and then, Thor raised his head and strode into the room. Behind him, the half-demons followed closely behind him, walking in. Soon, they saw a young man sitting in the middle of the richly decorated study.

Before coming to the Land of Atonement, in order to prepare, the half-demon descendants also had a certain understanding of this lord, in addition to the half-truths and half-truths on him, what everyone heard the most was the beautiful women around him and the beautiful face of the lord himself——— of course, they also knew that they should never mention this in front of Rhodes.

It was only after seeing Rhodes with their own eyes that they realized that the rumors weren't even enough to describe even a tenth of the lord's head, although the half-demons had been mentally prepared before coming here. And I once imagined what Rhodes looked like, but after seeing the man sitting behind the desk with their own eyes, many people still felt their hearts skip a beat. If it weren't for Rod's cold expression and the aristocratic uniform of the men he was wearing, I'm afraid that the current half-demons would have only mistaken him for a young and beautiful woman.

"Hello, everybody."

Seeing Thor and the others walk into the room, Rhodes nodded at them. But instead of standing up, he sat down in his chair, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the half-demons with interest. It could be seen that they were very reserved, in this luxurious room, these half-demon descendants were a little helpless, some secretly looked at the chairs next to them and wanted to sit down, and some just stood still nervously. Although, in their opinion. It was the first time he and Rhodes had met. But when he saw these half-demons, Rhodes was convinced that he was not looking for the wrong person. They were still the same as he remembered, but at that time, as a player, he was fighting alongside these NPCs. But now, he has become their commander, and the thought of this makes Rod feel that fate is truly wonderful. He looked at Thor carefully, at the half-demon leader. In Rod's memory. Thor is always a calm and calm person, and he is also quite popular among players. There are even some idle and bored female players who lined up a "marry such a good man if you want to marry" TOP10 on the forum. Saul is on the list. But now he looks very nervous and restrained, and he doesn't dare to speak when he looks at Rod, which makes Rodt feel a little more fresh and interesting.

"You may be seated, and you're welcome."

After admiring the embarrassed expressions of the demons for a moment and a half, Rhodes reached out and made a gesture. With his permission, the half-demons cautiously sat down on the chairs next to them. But they didn't seem to sit comfortably, as if they were afraid that something on them would stain these seemingly expensive and luxurious chairs, and they would be scolded and reprimanded. But Rod obviously didn't care about this, he just nodded at everyone, as a greeting, and then said to himself.

"As the lord of Glenbel. I welcome you all here, and I think you must have made a very deliberate choice, and I don't want to say too much about it here, but I will say that you will not regret your choice. ”

"Your Excellency."

It was only at this time that Thor stood up, and he first bowed respectfully to Rhodes before speaking.

"It's a great honor to have you invited......... However, I have a few questions for the lord, and I hope the lord will not blame him. ”

"What's the problem?"

Hearing Thor's words, Rod's expression on the surface did not change in the slightest, but deep down he nodded with satisfaction with Thor, Thor was still as steady, although he was still a little nervous when he first entered the study, but now this half-demon has calmed down, and he really hasn't changed at all from the game.

"That's right, my lord, and though you've said it in your letter, it's still not clear what we're going to do with you? Your Excellency, you should know that we are half-demons, and you must have recruited us not just to recruit us as your private soldiers. And also......... My lord, where did you hear about our Demon Hunting Team? I'm sure we hadn't met before this..............."

Of course we have seen it, but not in this world.

Hearing Thor's inquiry, Rhodes smiled inwardly, but on the surface he naturally wouldn't answer like that. In the face of Thor's inquiry, Rhodes just crossed his hands, leaned back in his chair, looked at the man in front of him, and then nodded, and then spoke.

"That's a good question, Mr. Thor, I didn't invite you to come just because I wanted you to be my subordinates, because I needed your strength as half-demons, so I chose you. I know that you have received a lot of unfriendly and unequal treatment as half-demon descendants because of the power you have, but right now, I need your strength to fight. Because we will face a lot of dangerous battles in the future, I need people who can be trusted and have strong strength. You've met my requirements. As for how I came to know of your existence..............."

Said here. Rhodes spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's just a coincidence, I just overheard a traveling merchant say that there is a group of half-demons who specialize in helping humans on the shores of the Black Fin Coast, and after getting the news, I started investigating you, and eventually. I believe that you are trustworthy, and that is why I am writing to invite you. ”

“………………………”

Hearing Rod's answer, Thor nodded and did not speak immediately. Rod's statement was similar to what he had imagined, but he didn't expect this young noble lord to be so direct. Originally, Thor thought that the nobles were a bunch of people who liked to talk around the bush and were not very straightforward. But Rod's performance was beyond Thor's expectations, and it seems that the rumors of calling this lord a "mercenary lord" do make some sense, at least when talking to him, except for the identity of the other party itself. Thor did think he was talking to a mercenary leader, simple and direct, with interests and exchanges on the table, which was obviously much better than the way of speaking between nobles mixed with hints and all kinds of twists and turns.

And it was at this time that he heard Rod's voice again.

"Of course, I'm not going to force you. First of all, I want to say the ugly things in front of me, if you become my subordinates, then you will face unprecedented danger. I have to make this beforehand. I need you to fight with me, which means that you will face enemies many times or even dozens of times more than yourself. Moreover, the threat of death is everywhere, and if you make a mistake, I will probably give up and sacrifice some of your members to ensure victory and success in the battle, I hope you will be prepared for this. And in return, as I said in my letter. You can live, dwell, and have legal status in the Land of Atonement. I think you've seen along the way that this city isn't so much of an exclusion from the likes of you, for similar reasons. Most of my soldiers don't have any special opinions about you. However, I still have to explain in advance that if you want to be able to change your impression in the minds of others, then you still need to make changes yourself, and all I can do is give you a chance, and I hope you will not let me down. ”

"Of course I understand, thank you for the tip, my lord."

Although Rod's words sounded a little irresponsible, Thor bowed deeply to Rod, as a half-demon, he knew better than anyone how important Rod's words were to them. As the saying goes, the so-called hateful must have pity, but no matter how pitiful and hateful it is, it is still hateful, and no one is whitewashed, and there is precisely this reason. The reason why the half-demon descendants have a bad reputation in people's minds is that their unique appearance is just one aspect, elves and dwarves, and even half-beasts are actually barely acceptable to humans, but when it comes to the half-demon people, they all refuse. This is also inseparable from the actions of the half-demons themselves, most of them are the product of tragedy, and the life born between the devil and the human has almost no future to speak of. Under the weight of this hopeless future and the fearful gaze of others on the devil, many half-demon descendants have given up their dignity, and they have joined their filthy bloodlines, breaking jars and selling their bodies and souls to bring pain and hatred to this world and all life in this world. On the Dragon Soul Continent, there are half-demon descendants among many devil believers, and it is precisely because of this that the half-demon descendants are so hostile to people. It's an unsolvable cycle of death, and the more people hate the half-demons, the more the half-demons willingly fall into self-depravity, hurting humanity in turn, and then being disgusted again. For ordinary people, the half-demon is a symbol of evil and danger, and it can even be said that among them, it can even be said that among them, it is the minority like Thor who is eager to change his fate and tries to fight it, almost as rare as the precious giant panda.

Therefore, Rod Cai did not try to appease them, but hit the nail on the head and said that if they want to change other people's opinions of themselves, they must work hard to be effective. This is what Saul wants to hear, if Rhodes says that everyone welcomes them, and they don't need to worry about their lives here, then Saul will suspect that Rhodes is lying to them. However, it seems that the lord has indeed thought deeply about their identity, and the truth is generally not very good, but it is equally difficult to say. And. For them, even the opportunity to change the impression of others is almost impossible to have.

"I see what you mean, my lord."

Thinking of this, Thor made up his mind, and he turned his head first. He glanced at his companions behind him, then turned around and bowed solemnly to Rod.

"To be honest, before coming here, we were still suspicious of your words, my lord, but now, I have decided, and our demon hunting team has decided to accept your invitation to become your subordinates. Fight for you. No matter how dangerous the battle is, as long as you give the order, even in the depths of hell, we will not hesitate. ”

"Don't say it so absolutely, at least you don't have to go to hell now."

In the face of Thor's answer, Rod nodded in satisfaction, and then spoke. Hearing his answer, Thor showed a slightly embarrassed expression. And at this time, Rod finally stood up.

"So. As Lord of Glenbel, I formally welcome you............... I'm sure you'll soon find out that you've made the right choice. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, when Rod said this, although he didn't have the slightest expression on his face. But Thor still felt a smile in the young lord's eyes.

With the arrival of the Demon Hunting Team, the puzzle pieces in Rhodes' hand have almost been completely put together, and the only gap is the War Law Regiment. However, Rhodes didn't plan to wait for the War Wizards to assemble before training, so after the Demon Hunters arrived. He finally officially showed his tactics to the crowd.

In Rod's tactics, the elite team is the most important role, and the commander of this team is naturally Rod, in addition, Lando's Ranger Squad and Joey's Rogue Squad are also joined by them, and Lando's Ranger Squad will be responsible for conducting comprehensive reconnaissance and rear support for targets before attacking. Joey's team of thieves is responsible for infiltrating it, opening the way, and assassinating the sentry to gain time for the main force.

When all goes well, the mercenaries led by Marfa and Thor's demi-demons will rush straight in, using their powerful attack power and the demi-demons' unique innate range spells to attack and suppress the interior, while Lijie's spirit master team will follow behind them, responsible for protection and healing. Of course, Anne is also by Lijie's side as always, protecting the spirits from threats and harm. And Rhodes will go to the location of the commander inside the target alone, in order to control or kill the other party in the shortest possible time, to master the entire target location——— but this is not the end, but just begun, after mastering the target, Rod asked everyone to immediately set up a defensive line to meet the possible counterattack of the enemy's main force.

With the existence of the Orb of Mystery, the training in tactics is not too complicated, the Phantom Space can replicate everything the wielder imagines, and because of this, in the Phantom Space, Rhodes can choose one of the fortresses he has attacked before to practice repeatedly, in order to make everyone familiar with this way of fighting.

Although when they heard Rhodes talk about it, everyone already felt that this was not an easy thing, but when they began to experience it themselves, they still found that it was too difficult for them to support——— in order to ensure that everyone could experience the effect and power of this tactic, Rhodes trained them completely according to the player's requirements, but this kind of high-intensity training was an indescribable pain for others. Even the half-demons, who have always endured hardships and stood hard work, were a little bitter in the face of Rod's training.

Rod's request was not complicated, it was even very simple, and it was all ——— word.

No matter how complex the fortress, they must eliminate the sentry in the shortest possible time, open the way, and crush the resisters. Then it is necessary to set up traps before the main force returns to the defense, recover physical strength, and prepare for the next further battle. And this means that before that, they can't even have too many casualties.

This is also a point that makes everyone quite painful, in the training of Phantom Space, although they have taken the stronghold of the fortress several times under the leadership of Rhodes, they have "suffered heavy losses", and they simply do not have enough troops to resist the main force of the returning defense, and they were finally completely defeated. Or maybe they kept their strength and wiped out the rebels in the fortress. However, it still failed to delay the main force that could return to the defense to carry out a flanking attack, but was beaten through by the opponent and completely collapsed. Either they did not suppress the fortress in the shortest possible time in order to preserve their strength and strength, and as a result, the remnants of the army were not swept away, but the enemy rushed back, and the sneak attack did not succeed, but was made dumplings by the other party.

However, training alone is not enough. Phantom space can only be used for simulation, but it cannot replace reality. In order for his subordinates to experience the power of this tactic, it is necessary to be trained in actual combat to make sense.

This time, Rhodes set his sights on the ice sheets of the northern mountains.

It was early winter, and it was the day of the migration of the orc tribes.

And for Rod, it's time to brush up on experience. (To be continued.) )
