Nestled in the corner of the Oriental Mountains, the Falling Eagle Peak was once a quiet place, but now it has become a completely different place.

When Rhodes and the others arrived at the foot of the Falling Eagle Peak, the beautiful scenery they had seen before was gone, replaced by the raging flames of war, gunsmoke and bones. Looking up, you can see that the buildings on the mountain peaks in the distance that were originally built on the mountain have long since turned into the ruins of darkness. The undead have completely changed everything here, and they are building a new base to give themselves one more bridgehead to attack the Eastern Mountains. Seeing this scene in front of him, Soth's face was gloomy, and he lowered his head, unable to bear to watch those damn undead creatures ravaging his homeland, but he couldn't do anything.........

Rod was not as sentimental as South, on the contrary, he carefully observed the Falling Eagle Mountain in front of him, and then couldn't help frowning. Frankly speaking, it is indeed quite difficult to launch an attack here, and the base of the War Law Regiment is on the relatively gentle side of the peak of Luoying Mountain, which is built on the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the army is trapped for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that there will be no way to capture here. But that's "idleness" after all, and it's another thing to change something as undead as undead......... If there is any advantage, it is that the Falling Eagle Mountain Peak and this side of the Dongfang Mountain Plains are quite gentle, after all, as a connecting passage in the rear, if it is too difficult and dangerous, it will not be convenient for transportation or transportation, this may be the only advantage that the combined forces of the Dongfang Mountain Plains can have.

However, Rhodes himself did not plan to participate in it, he did not have this plan when he came to Dongfang Mountain Plains this time, otherwise it would not be impossible to summon a bunch of water elemental fire elemental creatures like in Winter Castle——— of course, after having the Star Spirit Temple, Rhodes could really lead a group of armies to run around.

Thinking of this, Rhodes withdrew his gaze. Then he looked ahead, and saw that not far from the hillside in front of them, a dense group of tents formed a rather large military camp. There were all kinds of flags fluttering on it, and when he saw these flags, Rod couldn't help but shrug his shoulders. In fact, this is also a symbol of the Oriental Yamabara.

In many ways, the Oriental Mountains are completely different from the outside world. One of them is their powerful organizational structure. Generally speaking, in other parts of the Continent of Light, with the exception of local thieves associations and other local snakes, most organizations appear in the form of chapters. It's like a formal body like the Mercenary Guild, the Mage Guild, the Alchemist Guild. Or behind the scenes like the Masquerade, the Dark Brotherhood. However, the power composition of the Eastern Mountain Plains was completely different from theirs, and in the Eastern Mountain Plains, except for the Twelve Elders' Council, the largest ruling body of the Eastern Mountain Plains. The rest of the potential forces are basically separate and dispersed. It's like the War Method, they occupy a mountain, like a mountain king, although they are ostensibly obedient to the leadership of the Twelve Elders, but in fact they are basically in charge of their own decisions. And with their organizational strength as the center, they form a gathering place one by one. These forces then become the actual leaders of the gathering place, and the people who live in the gathering place will serve this powerful force.

To put it bluntly, the various forces in the Dongfang Mountain Plains are a bit similar to the various schools in martial arts novels. Everyone occupies Wudang Shaolin, but they are just operating on their own turf. You won't see Shaolin go to build a rudder bubble nun or something in Emei......... However, the reason for this situation is due to the geographical environment of the Oriental Mountain Plains itself. The Oriental Mountains are basically a rolling mountain range, and the roads are difficult and difficult to walk, and the circulation of manpower is even more difficult. Although there are floating boats, it is impossible for that kind of thing to cover the entire Oriental Mountains, and secondly, ordinary people cannot afford to sit down. So under the constraints of the terrain. Even if there are factions that want to develop and strengthen their own organizational strength, there are not enough people to do this kind of thing. Not to mention that Dongfang Shanyuan is under the threat of undead creatures all year round, and everyone is very difficult to deal with external threats, do you actually want to rebel at this time?

Even if others don't speak, the Council of Elders doesn't eat dry food.

There is such a background. It is not difficult to understand why there are so many powerful forces to respond to the call of the Presbyterian Church to come here this time, and they usually do not have enough time and energy, and there is no way to expand their territory. And now, now that the Council of Elders has said who can drive out the undead who are entrenched in the Falling Eagle Peak, then they will leave it to their management. Such a good opportunity is naturally not in vain. As you can see from the colors of the tents and the patterns of the flags in the camp, most of the people who come here are some powerful organizations like the War Magic Order, and there are a lot of people. Of course, there are also some small groups that don't seem to have many people like the stars holding the moon, and I don't know if they plan to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with those big forces or plan to fish in troubled waters to see if they can suddenly emerge, all in all, it seems to be lively.

When Rod and the others arrived at the camp, the combined army's attack on the peak of the Falling Eagle Mountain happened to have come to an end, and for a while many injured people could be seen being carried down from above, and the painful moans of the injured were heard from time to time in the entire camp. Soth, on the other hand, had a complicated complexion, although he said that these people were here to help them destroy the undead and avenge the War Method. But when he thought that these people were coming for the territory of the War Law Regiment, he was particularly entangled............

Soon after the group entered the camp, someone hurried over, but they were obviously not so polite to come to the stage in order to see Rod's face.

"Lord Garling."

The man at the head respectfully saluted Jia Ling, but in the face of his salute, Jia Ling was unmoved, the girl just quietly held her harp, stood there and looked at each other, and then frowned slightly.

"You're attacking?"

"Yes, sir."

Hearing Jia Ling's inquiry, the man's face showed a little embarrassment, but he still replied stubbornly. Hearing his answer, although Jia Ling didn't say anything, the people around him could feel that the aura around the girl had dropped sharply at this moment, and the temperature, which was not too cold under the winter sun, seemed to drop by eighty degrees in an instant.........

"Who gave the order?"

"It's me, Garling."

Just when Jia Ling asked in a cold voice. I saw another man come over, he was wearing a light leather armor, with two long swords hanging from his waist, he looked to be about thirty years old, and he was in high spirits. In fact, the man's performance was indeed full of confidence, and he strode over. Stretched out his hand and waved it, and soon, the subordinate who was speechless by Jialing immediately retreated as if he had been granted amnesty. Seeing this scene in front of her, although Jia Ling's expression did not change, the look in her eyes could make Rod see that this eldest lady was very unhappy.

"If I'm not mistaken, the elders gave me command of this operation, didn't they?"

"Of course I know the way, Jia Ling."

Hearing Jia Ling's rhetorical question full of dissatisfaction. The man smiled slightly——— but his smile looked as if he was soothing his ignorant and disobedient little sister.

"However, as a front-line commander, I sometimes need to test the enemy's strength to a certain extent, after all, the undead are behaving very strangely on it now, and we need to be a little prepared for the enemy's strength in advance, and this kind of thing needs to be a matter of time, Galing. I don't know what you're doing outside, but this is the Oriental Mountains. We have our own way. ”

“………………… Is that the only excuse you're looking for? ”

Although the others hadn't felt it yet, Rhodes was already keenly aware of the strong killing intent contained in Jia Ling's body. He had no doubt that as long as the idiot in front of him dared to say one more nonsense, then this poor creature would definitely have a different rhythm. Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but take two steps forward and block Christie behind him, no matter what. This kind of bloody scene was not what she should have seen.

"This is ..............."

Rod's movements also caught the man's attention, and he turned his head curiously to look behind Garling. And Garling glanced at Rod, and when she saw him block Christie behind her, a complex glow flashed in the girl's dark and deep eyes, but Garling was still very calm on the surface. She looked at Rod lightly, and then spoke.

"This is Lord Glenbert, Mr. Rod."

"Oh..................?"

Hearing Jia Ling's introduction, the man in front of him was obviously quite surprised, his eyes widened, and he looked at Rod in surprise, but quickly. His face was full of enthusiasm. Then the man stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Rod.

"Hello, honorable lord, I'm Xiao, I really didn't expect to see you here, it's really a little surprising to me. The statue of the Holy Maiden you gave us before played a big role in front of us, and I've never seen those undead creatures look so embarrassed..............."

This man named Xiao did not have the restraint that most people in the Eastern Mountains have, on the contrary, he was quite enthusiastic and self-familiar, and this man was very good at talking, he not only praised Rod, but also quietly expressed his respect to Lijie and Anne and others, asked their names one by one, and then slapped a big sycophant. What "a few young ladies are really beautiful and beautiful like flowers, even in the Oriental Mountains, there is no such beautiful ......... that captivates the country and the city", Lijie was a little embarrassed when she heard it, but Anne accepted it triumphantly, not shy at all. And after turning around in circles, Xiao got to the point.

“…………… I don't know what you have to do when you come to the Oriental Mountains? ”

"It's just a personal matter."

In the face of this man's enthusiasm, Rod did not hesitate at all, and quickly gave an answer. Hearing his obvious perfunctory, Xiao's originally enthusiastic smile couldn't help but stiffen a little, but he quickly returned to normal and nodded.

"I see, so if you need any help, just ask. As long as we can do it, we will work hard. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao looked at Jia Ling next to him.

"Galing, we're about to have a combat meeting to deal with the next situation. In the last few days of your absence, we've had a lot of people join our team, and I think it's time to make some adjustments. ”

"It's good, I know it."

After listening to Xiao's words. Garling nodded slightly, then she looked at Rod.

"Then, Mr. Rod, please go to my residence with Bai Ye for a while, and after that, I will deal with your problems."

After saying this. Garling turned to leave. And Rhodes and the others were led by Bai Ye to a small manor located in the corner of the uphill slope of the camp——— this camp was originally a village at the foot of the mountain, although it has been expanded a lot, but all kinds of facilities are still very complete. After sending Rhodes and others to the manor, Bai Ye said goodbye and left, handing over Rhodes and the others to the maids in the manor. It's a bit rude, though. But that's obviously a good thing for Rod because he still has a lot to figure out, and right now, it's a good opportunity.

"About Garling-sama?"

Hear Rhodes' inquiry. Soth looked surprised. Rod nodded slightly, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Soth.

"That's right, I feel like Miss Garling is in the Oriental Mountains......... Doesn't seem to be very popular? What's going on? I'm sure you've heard something. ”

When he met the man named Xiao before, Rod already felt a little strange. It stands to reason that although Jia Ling is not a lord, her identity and strength are enough to be on an equal footing with the twelve elders in the Eastern Mountain Plains. That man named Xiao is only the peak of the master, what qualifications does he have to drag in front of Jia Ling like this? It's not right to say that they grew up together and have no guesses. Jia Ling's previous killing intent was not casually released, in fact, she was very calm and restrained, only Rode, who was also in the legendary realm, was keenly aware of Jia Ling's changes, which showed that she really wanted to kill someone, not to scare someone. But that guy is so fearless?

Not only that, but Rhodes also found that Jia Ling's situation in the Eastern Mountain Plains seemed quite awkward. It can be seen from this estate where she is now. It stands to reason that as the commander of the first army, Jia Ling should be in the middle of the camp by everyone's stars, how can he be called during the meeting like now. On weekdays, it's in such a remote place, and if there is an emergency in the battlefield, you can't find anyone.........

Rhodes is also a player, and the burning fire of gossip has never subsided. Not to mention that Jia Ling, a mysterious character in the game, who has been controversial and investigated by players, now that he has the opportunity to play the other party's old background, he naturally will not miss such a good opportunity. As the deputy head of the War Tactics Regiment and the head of the earth, Soth has lived much longer than Garling, and Rhodes believes that from him, he will be able to know what to do.

"This ......... I've heard some rumors. ”

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Sos showed a few embarrassed expressions, just as Rod thought, Sos of course knew something about Jialing, but this kind of thing is not easy for everyone to say, but now, since his lord asked, he naturally has no way to hide it.

"Miss Jia Ling has been gifted and intelligent since she was a child, she was once the inheritor of the Feng Xiang family, one of the twelve elders, and when Miss Jia Ling was still very young, she showed no less potential than her father and no less than her mother's piano skills. At that time, everyone thought that Miss Garling would definitely enter the Presbyterian Church in the future, and might even become the head of it..............."

"Ever?"

Rod was keenly aware of the words in Soth's words. Hearing Rod's inquiry, Soth nodded.

"Yes, ever......... Because later, Miss Jialing's family had problems——— I don't know the specific situation, but at that time, it seemed that the Fengxiang family's strength was too large at that time, and even had a lot of prestige and help among the Elders, which made them have the intention of breaking away from Moon........."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Rod suddenly became interested, Dongfang Shanyuan is a mysterious place even in the eyes of players. Many of the rumors within them are not inquired about by players at all, but even so, Rod knows very well that Dongfang Yamahara has always been a supporter of the royal party, but he didn't expect that they actually wanted to be independent from Moon?

"This ......... I've only heard about it. At that time, many people rumored that the Fengxiang family had this idea, but most people felt that it was unlikely. But later, one day suddenly came the news that the Fengxiang family had assassinated Archduke Lytia, and everyone was stunned at that time, but ......... Of course they failed. Then the Fengxiang family was basically completely wiped out, and I heard that in the entire family, only Jia Ling, who was less than six years old at the time, survived, and then was taken out of the Dongfang Mountain Plains by Grand Duke Lytia. After that, the Council of Elders re-elected someone to take the place of the Feng Xiang family, but ......... It's not very good to talk about this thing after all, so everyone doesn't talk about it much. ”

I see.

After listening to Soth's explanation, Rhodes finally understood. He still knows about Dongfang Shanyuan, and the people here have always been proud of their loyalty to Moon, and now there is a traitor among them, and even assassinated the Grand Duke, although he failed in the end, but this is of course a heavy blow to the pride of Dongfang Shanyuan. As the sole survivor and heir of the unfortunate and tragic family, Jia Ling naturally bore the sins that her father should bear. Moreover, according to Soth, Garling was taken away from the Eastern Mountains by Lydia when she was very young, so for the people here, I'm afraid she is just like herself, she can be regarded as a "supernumerary".

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but sigh a little, but he just satisfied his gossip heart, and he himself had nothing to say about what happened to Jia Ling. Moreover, with his own understanding of Jia Ling, Rod also knew that she did not need his own sympathy.

The operational meeting lasted until dusk and did not end completely. After returning to his manor, Jia Ling brought a message to Rod and others.

"Tomorrow morning, we will launch an all-out assault on the Falling Eagle Peak, if you want to go on any personal business, please take care of yourself." (To be continued......)
