Chapter 664: Between Light and Light (III) [Asking for Monthly Pass Support at the End of the Month]

There are two battles in the game that impressed Rhodes the most, one of which was the scene where Lydia was defeated and died alone when she retreated in the face of a full-scale attack by the Scourge Legion. It was also from that moment that Rhodes became the Land of Light, thus setting off the beginning of using the player's power to change the history of the entire Dragon Soul Continent.

The other battle was the Battle of Diamat.

At that time, the Duchy of Moon was under internal and external troubles, the undead army of the Dragon Kingdom of the Night on the front line was menacing, and the country of light in the rear also took the opportunity to stab the knife, even with the help of the war angels, but the front and rear defense lines of the Duchy of Moon were still crumbling under this storm-like offensive, and finally, the defense line in the northeast completely collapsed due to lack of manpower, and millions of undead armies suddenly poured in like a flood that burst the embankment, trying to completely annex the Duchy of Moon in one fell swoop.

At this time, Rhodes and more than 200 other players who had achieved top prestige in the Principality of Moon received a special task——— they had to work together to go to Diamat on the ships of the First Fleet of the Royal Wizard Fleet, block the enemy forces there, and buy time for the Principality to rebuild its defenses. At that time, what Rhodes and the others were riding was this firmament-class magic warship——— the Holy Maiden.

It is the largest magic guide floating battleship in the Principality of Moon, and even in the entire Dragon Soul Continent, the Holy Maiden is 333 meters long, 39.6 meters wide, and 22 meters high. The deck is 332 meters long and 71 meters wide. Equipped with a total of 3,500 siege magic cannons, it is almost equivalent to a moving fortress floating in the air. There are two legions of war angels stationed on it, but in fact, no one knew about this magic warship before, and it is the top secret of the Duchy of Moon, even for players such as Rhodes. It wasn't until after boarding the battleship that I realized its existence. And their mission is to protect this magic guide warship from the enemy's destruction, at that time, the general level of players was not high, but the forty or fifty level was capped, and it was naturally powerless to face those terrible monsters in the Night Dragon Country.

If the scene of Lydia's death made Rhodes feel sad and angry. Then the battle of Diamat brought him a surge of passion——— and until now, Rod remembers that scene.

They stood on the deck, watching the heavy and huge magic warship descend with the wind and tide, like a sharp and heavy giant sword piercing through the clouds, and when the white clouds disappeared, the scene in front of them was shocking and terrifying——— millions of gargoyles were like migrating locust armies black and oppressive covering the entire sky, and from the edge of the deck looking down, you could see almost countless necromantic creatures squeezing, like a raging tide wriggling on the earth. Push forward. This white, divine glowing magic warship was like a flat boat that broke into the black tide alone, and it would only take a moment to be completely engulfed.

The scene was so trembling that many players were scared out of their legs, even though they were players, not NPCs, they could come back from the dead and not feel pain. But the oppressive and terrifying shock that comes from the visuals alone. It's enough to make people feel stressed.

Then everything changed completely.

With a deafening roar. The sturdy hull of the ship began to vibrate, and dazzling pillars of light burst out from the side of the hull, and they gathered into a river of light, venting down towards the heavens and the earth. Then a series of dazzling explosions and fires appeared in front of everyone, and with their explosions, the originally obscured sky reappeared in a clear blue color. Countless gargoyles shattered and fell under the fire of the magic warship. The darkness that had been overwhelming collapsed like dust that had been removed. The undead on the ground were also completely wiped out under this powerful cannon fire, and the entire land was completely covered by cannon fire, only to see a roar, and then a dazzling magical light roared down. Immediately after that, I saw a series of explosions on the earth burst into the sky, and then there was no ———. That scene still makes Rhodes feel relaxed and happy when he thinks about it now, if the Duchy of Moon can build a few more super warships like the Holy Maiden, I'm afraid it won't be so embarrassing at that time.

With the power of a single battleship, the Maiden held out in Diamat for five days, destroying countless undead creatures during that time. Players take turns on deck to help the Angels destroy the undead who fall from the sky in an attempt to destroy the ship. However, even such a powerful battleship is still no match for the existence of rules——— when the four demon generals join forces, this battleship that is almost equal to the most powerful battleship on the Dragon Soul Continent has finally come to an end, no matter how strong it is, it is an item that has been created after all, and the creator of the rules is still unable to fight. Under the attack of the four demon generals, even if there was desperate resistance from the player, in the end, the Holy Maiden fell from the sky and disappeared completely.

After the destruction of Moon, there were also many players and guilds who tried to obtain the blueprints of the Holy Maiden, because they knew very well that such a powerful warship, even if it could only be used in the Wind Tide Zone, was enough to deter their enemies. But these people basically returned in vain, not to mention a super battleship like the Holy Maiden, even if it was an ordinary floating magic guide battleship, no one among them could get their hands on it.

But Rhodes didn't expect that he would have the chance to set foot on it again——— and not during the war.

Standing on the wide and flat deck, Rhodes looked at Lydia not far away with a somewhat meaningful gaze, because it was really an intriguing thing. Generally speaking, most of the foreign visits of a head of state are of a peaceful nature. They may take a plane, they may take a train. But that's all normal transportation. But have you ever seen a head of state go abroad on a heavily armed aircraft carrier or fighter jet?

Not to mention that the Dragon Soul Sacred Scripture is not just a matter of the two families of the Kingdom of Light and the Principality of Moon, because this involves the Dragon Soul of Light, so the lords of all the territories under the protection of the Dragon Soul of Light, the Grand Duke must send representatives to participate. This can be regarded as an "international" festival.

And in this case, Lydia actually wants to take the Holy Maiden to the Land of Light?

Rod frowned, and the course of history changed again. In the game, he had never heard of Lydia taking the Holy Maiden to participate in the Dragon Soul Sacred Codex, and if there was such a thing, let alone anything else. The huge magic warship of the Holy Maiden alone is enough to blow up the sky in the player camp of the Land of Light. It's impossible that there won't be any movement at all. And now, Lydia has made that decision?

It's a lot of fun.

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but look at the tall hull, judging from the appearance, there was no weapon on this ship. The scattered magic crystals and exquisite, gold-encrusted reliefs seem to be an integral part of the ship, but Rhodes knows very well that as soon as the time of war comes, then this battleship will tear off its elegant and beautiful veil on the surface, revealing the hideous and fierce face inside——— if it is bombarded by this battleship, I am afraid that the entire city of light will have to be rebuilt.........

"I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Rhodes."

Just under the fire of the Holy Maiden, the capital of light turned into a sea of fire. As he was delusional about the beautiful scene of the bright red flames burning, the ruins and the cries, a voice came from his side, which also made Rod retract his thoughts, but when he saw the people around him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"General Garcia? It's been a long time......... I didn't expect to see you here. ”

Garcia in front of him was still a child, but compared to when Rhodes met him at the Top of the Cloud Fortress. The cunning fox's dress was much more formal. He wore a crisp military uniform with various medals hanging from it. It's a picture of a soldier full of honor. It's just that whether he sits or doesn't sit, whether he stands or not, still reveals a bit of this man's original lazy character.

"It's not just me, you see."

Hearing Rod's answer, Garcia smiled a little, and then nodded to the side. And Rod looked in the direction he signaled, very quickly. Then he saw the others, who were not many in number, only a dozen people, among them nobles and soldiers. There are men and women. At first glance, this is just an ordinary delegation. But if you look closely, you will find that most of these people are not very old, the oldest is only in their thirties, and apart from a limited number of people such as Archmage Amund, most of the people who followed Lydia to participate in this holy ceremony were very young. The average age is only in their twenties, which is a strange thing. Moreover, according to Garcia's introduction, Rhodes also found that the identities of those young people are not very simple, most of them are young and famous, some of them are future stars that Rhodes has heard of, and some Rhodes has never remembered. Either way, they are all brilliant people in their fields, and they are both appreciated by Lydia.

It's just that although those people seem to have a good conversation, their attitude towards Rod is a little imminent, but Rod is not surprised by this, according to Garcia's introduction, many of them are young and famous, and most of the talented people are arrogant, and it is normal to have some of their own ideas. Not to mention that Rod's rise was too fast, a year ago, no one in the entire Duchy of Moon had heard of his name, but then he rose like a rocket, attracting everyone's attention and being appreciated by Lydia. According to Garcia, he seems to be the first of the group to personally receive the knighthood that Lydia has bestowed.

There is such a relationship in it, it is understandable that those people are a little respectful of Rod, and Rods himself understands this very well, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and each of them is similar. It's like in the game, in addition to yourself, there are many game masters in the Dragon Soul Continent. Maybe they don't agree in philosophy and personality, but being able to reach the top of this game with the largest number of people in the world and become the first person in their respective professions naturally has a little bit of a sense of sympathy in it. But no matter what, their reputation has been accumulated step by step through countless dungeons, arena records. If at this time, a person who everyone has never heard of before suddenly appears, who is called the first person in the XX profession by officials and players, then other people, including Rod, will definitely be unhappy, and even in order to maintain their reputation, they will go to find trouble with that guy and break his myths and legends. Because this does not conform to their rules, nor does it conform to the "rules" of this Jianghu.

Therefore, it is understandable that those young rookies have a somewhat cold attitude towards Rode, although Rode's name is thunderous, but Rod is in the border area most of the time. It's not in the middle of the Golden City. So for this "newcomer" who suddenly became popular, others still have some concerns. But luckily, these young rookies also understand what the situation is like at the moment, and no one will come up to Rod without a long eye. After all, an idiot has used his own personal experience to prove that trouble with Rhodes will not end well, and ............ After all, there is no direct conflict of interest between them, is there?

Rod knew what these people thought, although he was also famous. But in the eyes of others, it was nothing. After all, they hadn't seen Rhodes in person, and although there were a few performances at the Midsummer Festival and the Celebration Banquet, that could only show that he was very strong in personal ability. But what's the use of that? These young talents present are the future of the Duchy of Moon, and their strength is certainly not reflected in their personal fighting, unless Rhodes shows a strong strength like Archmage Armond who can affect a battlefield alone............... Otherwise, it's pointless to just go head-to-head.

It is precisely because he understands this that Rod did not go to get close to those people, he knows very well that at this time, he still has to show his strength——— not just the ability to fight alone. Because then he's just a thug. and unable to grow into a member of the ruling class who is accepted by the ruling class. At this time, you can only follow the trend and see the situation.

"Boys, welcome to the Holy Maiden!"

At this moment, suddenly a loud voice appeared out of thin air, and even the cold wind around him could not block his voice, Rhodes raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and soon saw an old dwarf walking towards them. A thick beard obscured most of his face, and the snow-white beard almost fell to the ground. Looking at it, it makes people worry about whether this old dwarf will walk and step on his beard and fall directly. But the old dwarf was unexpectedly agile. He strode in front of everyone, smiled at everyone, and then bowed respectfully to Lydia——— I have to say that with his figure, it is not easy to make this move.

"Hello, Your Highness Lydia. Welcome aboard the Holy Maiden! I assure you, this ship will be able to get you and you wherever you want to go! ”

"It looks like you're still looking so good, I'm relieved, Mr. Gaunt."

In response to the old dwarf's inquiry, Lydia smiled softly. Then he replied. Hearing Lydia's response, the old dwarf Gunthhara laughed, and then he raised his right foot and stomped on the deck three times.

"Thousands of stones, Your Highness, I don't feel better than I do now. To be honest, I would rather step on solid ground than these dangling things! Look at it, the sky is ...............," said the old dwarf, and the old dwarf couldn't help but shudder. “……… I even doubt that once I leave this land, I will be sucked straight into this sky! But I can rest assured on this ship! It's like a mountain with long legs that walks on its own! Make even dwarves feel so reliable! ”

"Poof."

Hearing the old dwarf Gaunt's words, Anne on the side couldn't help but laugh, she leaned towards Rod, and then said with a smile.

"Commander, that dwarf grandfather's words are so interesting, he doesn't have wings, how can he go to the sky........."

"Hey, hey, that little girl!"

Hearing Anne's words, the old dwarf rolled his eyes and glared at her.

"Who do you say? Who is Grandpa? Call uncle! I'm not old enough to be called grandpa!! ”

"Anne doesn't call it."

In the face of the old dwarf's reprimand, Anne looked completely fearless, she ran behind Rhodes with a smoke, poked her head out to look at the old dwarf in front of her, and then stuck out her tongue.

Anne knew that it was a grandfather who had such a long beard. I'll be a lot older next year, and I'm still pretending to be young here, no shame! No shame! ”

"You............ You ..............."

Hearing Anne's answer, Gaunt raised his hand angrily and pointed at Anne with a helpless trembling. Anne, on the other hand, hid behind Rhodes and grimaced at the old dwarf in front of her. Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone around them couldn't help but laugh out loud——— even Lydia turned her head, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Humph!!"

Perhaps realizing that he was also talking in vain here, Gaunt could only snort and glare at Rod in the end.

"Take care of your little wolf cubs, young man, this isn't a goddamn zoo. My old Gunt ............ Damn, I'm not old at all! ”

"Mr. Gaunt."

Looking at the scene in front of her with a smile on her face, Lydia didn't finally speak up until this time.

"We're all here, we can go, please ........."

"Oh, of course, Your Highness. Rest assured! We're ready to go! ”

At this, the old dwarf Gaunt seemed to have just remembered something, and he bowed respectfully to Lydia, and then smiled at the crowd next to him. However, when he saw Garling standing quietly beside Lydia with a harp, the old dwarf's expression became serious and serious in an instant. But because of his beard, which was thick enough to cover half of his face, even Rhodes did not notice the change in the old dwarf's expression.

Then he turned and trotted all the way to a huge horn beside him, and puffed up his strength and blew hard.

"Uh............ Woo....................."

A low horn sounded, and with the sound of this horn, the huge magic warship in front of him began to emit an unparalleled magical brilliance.

PS: At the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket again, and then ask everyone to vote for a monthly pass, and this cat is here to ask for a monthly pass............ (To be continued.) )
