Chapter 103: A team of four

The results of the mercenary association's investigation came out quickly, not even half a day——— which is not surprising, the two groups of people made a fuss at the door of the mercenary association, and onlookers can be said to be everywhere. The results of the investigation were a big headache for the elder and Serek, and theoretically speaking, the Emerald Tears provoked first, and it was a matter of course to be punished. But Rod's reaction was obviously excessive, killing people on the street had exceeded the tolerable limit, and he also injured the other party's regiment leader, although there was no shortage of private fights between mercenary groups, but in the places where they could see, the mercenary association still had to be managed.

Originally, Serek was going to talk to Rhodes, hoping that he could come forward to reconcile with Emerald Tears, but he didn't expect that Rhodes, who has always been easy to talk, let him eat a closed door this time, Rhodes's attitude was very clear, he didn't even want to talk! This made Serek also feel very helpless, he couldn't figure out how this young man could be so capricious, he turned his face when he said it, and he was not prepared at all.

And the Jade Tears side is unexpectedly calm, although there are also many mercenaries who are indignant, but their main bones have been injured, and they are still in a coma, without the sheep led by the tiger is just a flock, even the screaming is weak, after all, they themselves are not responsible for this matter, and now even the head of the regiment was almost killed by the other party, the strength is not as good as people, and the mercenaries are also weak when they shout, so they did not pose any threat to Rhodes.

But for Rod, it was a pity that he didn't kill Frank.

He was well aware of Frank's role in the aftermath of the incident, and he knew his true identity, and Rhodes was sure that if he could get rid of Frank, then for at least half a year, the Land of Light would no longer be able to make any waves in Deep Rock City. As long as he hurries the time, Deep Rock City will be his world in half a year, and even if the country of light sends someone to make trouble at that time, it will be impossible to make trouble with the rain.

But the current situation makes Rod feel a little unsatisfactory, according to the news that the old Walker heard, Frank was only injured and needed to recuperate for a month, and a month is still too short for Rode.

However, this was a good result for Rod, as he finally managed to provoke hostility between the two sides as he had hoped.

In fact, after learning that Frank led the Emerald Tears, Rhodes has been looking for an opportunity to intensify the conflict between the two sides. Because he knows very well that in order to fight against the conspiracy of the country of light in the future, he will inevitably lead Starlight to snipe at the Emerald Tears openly and secretly, but if he does it for no reason, the other party will definitely wonder if he knows the plan of the country of light——— although in fact Rhodes does know what the country of light wants to do, but he doesn't want others to know what he knows.

In this way, the safest way is to turn the prestige of both sides into hostility, there is no shortage of such mortal enemies in the mercenary group, even if the other party's plan is disrupted at that time, they will not think that this is Rod's deliberate behavior against the country of light, they will only think that this is just a hostility between the two mercenary groups, and this is what Rod wants.

After all, different ideas lead to different pertinences. If the Land of Light senses that Rhodes is likely to learn about his plans, then there may be an unexpected situation. But if it's just a mercenary group level dispute, it's not good for them to take action without permission, so as to avoid revealing their identities. It's like two gangsters fighting, and everyone thinks it's normal for them to fight. But if you use the CIA or the FBI to help one side fight the other, then it will immediately arouse suspicion.

The young lady of the Golden City is not a faint king, so the Land of Light has always been cautious, and Rhodes can be sure that if they can't be sure that they really know their plans, then in the current situation, they will definitely not come to trouble them with great fanfare. Because it means that they are also looking for trouble for themselves. Originally, Rhodes was still worried about how to successfully provoke the confrontation between the two sides, but he didn't expect that the caring Barney immediately brought him a delicious and sumptuous meal.

Sure enough, it is teachable, at least after this war, Rhodes does not have to worry that the prestige of both sides will develop in the direction of harmony and friendship.

However, there was still one thing that surprised Rhodes, and that was the attitude of the other mercenary groups after this conflict.

It stands to reason that in the face of this kind of thing, most of the other mercenary groups adopt an attitude of watching the fire from the other side and ignoring it. But after this conflict, many mercenary groups showed their support for Rhodes and ridiculed the Emerald Tears, both openly and covertly. This surprised Rhodes a little, but he quickly understood the thoughts of these mercenary groups. After all, nearly two-thirds of all the thirty-two mercenary groups in the Pafield area have suffered heavy losses, and at this time, Emerald Tears is waving a lot of tickets to poach their feet from other mercenary groups, which is even worse for the mercenary groups that have been seriously damaged. If the Emerald Tears is as powerful as Starlight, it is just an elite mercenary group that can kill seven in and seven out in the Silent Heights, and the so-called people go to high places and water flows to low places, it is not incomprehensible. But the strength of the Jade Tears didn't see how strong it was, and it dared to run to poach people just by relying on those few stinky money, which really made many mercenary groups very unhappy.

Nouveau riche everywhere is just as undesirable.

Because of this, many mercenary groups privately complained about the Emerald Tears, but due to the fact that the Emerald Tears had increased in strength after absorbing a large number of people, it had reached the level of the first level in terms of numbers alone. The other mercenary groups are seriously injured, and they have not yet recovered, and they are not qualified to fight against the Emerald Tears, so they can only curse a few words in private.

But they didn't expect that at this time, the starlight came out of nowhere, pulled out the Emerald Tears and beat them hard, which immediately made them feel refreshed, since some people are willing to make a head bird to clean them up, then others don't mind waving the flag behind to support them spiritually. Although Rod also knows very well that this kind of verbal support has no practical meaning, but it is not useless, at least through the expression of these mercenary groups, the mercenary association should also know that the reputation of Emerald Tears in the mercenary group is not very good now, and it will naturally take these issues into account when dealing with them, which is enough for Rhodes.

But for Rhodes now, that's not the most important thing.

"It's just... Is it here? ”

The girl raised her head, a hint of uneasiness on her delicate and pretty face, and she tugged at her cloak tightly and looked timidly at the old, tall house in front of her. Beside her, a young man, also wrapped in a cloak, comfortingly stroked the girl's head.

"Labis, don't worry, I'm sure there won't be any problems."

"Hmm...... Well. ”

Although the girl nodded, the expression on her face did not relax because of this. Seeing the girl's appearance, the young man beside her smiled helplessly, and then raised his head and glanced at the two companions beside him. In fact, they don't know anything about it either.

All four of them looked about the same age, and they were all dressed as mercenaries. A man and a woman in front of him looked like a brother and sister, the elder brother was carrying an old wooden longbow, five or six throwing knives were strung on the belt around his waist, and the emerald green cloak obscured his head and body, leaving only a pointed chin, which looked very mysterious, which was exactly what the ranger was dressed like. And although the girl beside him was dressed almost like him, she lacked a little of the temperament of a ranger, on the contrary, she was holding the cloak of the young man next to her with one hand, and she looked uneasy and looking around, making people look more like a runaway child. Behind the two stood heavy swordsmen in heavy armor, shields and swords, and thieves half-crouching on the ground, yawning boredly.

Although the expressions of the four people were different, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they looked at the old mansion not far away. In fact, these four people are the newcomers who came to report to the Starlight Mercenary Group, and before that, they were Anne's subordinates in the Macbeth Mercenary Group.

And at this moment, the feelings of the four people are very complicated.

The Macbeth Mercenary Regiment was the first mercenary group that the four of them joined, and before that, they didn't have much adventure experience, so they were often ostracized after joining the mercenary group. It was Anne who helped them and brought them to her own team, where they gradually adapted to life as mercenaries. Originally, they thought that life would continue like this, but the sudden death of the old head of the regiment and what happened afterwards caught these young mercenaries a little off guard. The struggle for the position of the old head of the regiment made Anne very distressed and troubled, and they were also in their eyes and anxious. But as newcomers, they don't have much right to speak. I could only watch as Anne was finally abandoned by the mercenary group and left here.

And after that, the battle for the head of the Macbeth mercenary group ended, and as soon as the new head came to power, he immediately began to choose to purge the old leader's power, and many people were transferred to other mercenary groups, which also made the four of them die for the Macbeth mercenary group, so in the end, they found old Walker through acquaintances and asked him to go to Starlight. In their opinion, since the Macbeth mercenary group can no longer stay, it is better to take the initiative to find a way out than wait for others to abandon them. And if you can, it would be nice to be able to continue to work with Anne.

However, the dream is beautiful, but no one knows what the reality is, out of concern for Anne, they have also inquired about some evaluations of the Starlight Mercenary Group from various channels. Most of them were good, but there were some that made them very uneasy, especially after the appearance of Roddown Street killing the members of the Emerald Tears mercenary group, which made them a little worried. I'm afraid that this mercenary leader is a cruel and tyrannical guy, and it will be terrible to kill people if he doesn't agree with him.

However, this was not the right time to retreat, and while the four of them were still struggling, the Macbeth mercenary group had already informed them that they no longer belonged here.

So, the four of them had no choice but to walk up to the door, and no one knew whether the future was fierce or auspicious.

And just when the four of them came to the gate, a woman with bright red hair walked over, she looked at the four of them with a serious face, and her right hand held the hilt of the sword, blocking their way.

"Who are you? Is there anything going on with the Starlight Mercenary Group? ”

"This ........."

Although on the surface, Shanna was only four or five years older than them, but after all, she was once the head of a group, and her majesty was still there. The four mercenaries in front of her were just rookies who had just stepped into the mercenary group for less than a year, so they lost first in terms of momentum. Looking at the sharp eyes of the red-haired mercenary, the cloaked girl hurriedly hid behind her brother, and her brother coughed lightly before raising his head.

"I'm so sorry, this young lady, we are ........."

Saying this, the ranger's eyes suddenly widened in surprise and carefully looked at the woman in front of him.

"You're the head of the 'Red Eagle', Shana?"

"You are ............"

Hearing the ranger's words, Shanna looked at them curiously, and then asked.

"I, we used to be Miss Anne's subordinates, and we came to report to the mercenary group........."

"It turned out to be you." Hearing the ranger's answer, Shanna nodded, she let go of the hilt of the sword at her waist, and then turned around and walked towards the old mansion.

"Come with me."

Led by Shana, the four of them walked into the courtyard.

The scene in front of them surprised them a little.

The reason why Rod's mercenary group is famous is largely due to the fact that he has set up a stronghold in the Cyrell Murder Mansion, which has always been "famous" and almost everyone knows about it. So before they arrived, they thought it should be a shabby, gloomy and deserted place. However, what is in front of them is far beyond their imagination. The neat and tidy courtyard is not gorgeous, but it has a few serious houses, and two dark flags hang down from it, if it were not for the weeds in the garden that have not been completely cleared, I am afraid that no one would think that this is the legendary haunted house.

"Miss Shanna."

Looking at the red-haired woman figure in front of him, the ranger hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Why are you in the starlight?"

"Because Red Eagle is disbanded."

Shanna shrugged her shoulders and answered the ranger's question, although her tone was very free, but there was still a hint of helplessness inside. After all, it was a mercenary group created by himself, and now that it is gone, Shanna has not yet reached the age where she can see through life and death, so she is naturally a little reluctant.

And the four of them also heard the helplessness in her words, and immediately kept silent smartly, and the girl next to the ranger even secretly glared at her brother, obviously blaming him for not opening which pot. The ranger, who was despised by his sister, could only scratch his head helplessly, and finally decided to continue the topic head-on.

"That......... Miss Shanna, we want to know what kind of person is the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Group? ”

Hearing this, Shanna stopped. And the four people who followed her also stopped at this moment, and they looked at the red-haired mercenary in front of them curiously, for fear of missing any of her words. At this moment, Shanna also turned around, but unlike what everyone thought, she had a smile on her face——— what was going on?

"Hmm......... It's really hard to say what kind of person Mr. Rhodes is. After all, I haven't been in contact with him for long, but I can give you some advice. ”

"Please."

Hearing Shanna's words, the four of them immediately became nervous, no wonder, after all, they were about to meet with the rumored mercenary captain, if they could learn a little bit about the other party in advance, then at least they could be mentally prepared, right?

"First of all, I want to tell you that Mr. Rhodes is not much older than you, but you must not underestimate him, he is a very good man, and you should be careful that he rarely laughs. And, one more thing to note is that you should never mention his face in front of him...... It's important, it's important to see if you're going to survive. ”

“…………”

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva in unison, and even the thieves who followed behind and kept laughing and laughing also restrained the expressions on their faces at this moment.

"It's difficult, isn't that captain terrible?"

The girl who had been hiding behind her brother couldn't help but ask, it seems that no matter how old or young women are, they care about their appearance very much.

"That's not what I meant."

In the face of the girl's inquiry, Shanna smiled bitterly and waved her hand, she thought for a moment, and didn't seem to know how to explain it to everyone.

"Anyway......... I just want you to remember one thing, he is a gentleman. Don't be mistaken. ”

With that, Shanna pushed the door open.

"Come on, Mr. Rhodes has been waiting for you for a long time."
