“That’s the thirteenth one”

Rhode kept his sword and glanced at the dead Parasite Then, he eyed his mercenaries and studied the state of their bodies

Hmm… around two thirds?

“Let’s take a break”

Rhode motioned them to sit down, and all the round He was pleased that they didn’t return to their usual coh they were tired All of them sat with each other and discussed the previous battle Although their newfound cohesiveness orthy of praise, Rhode chose not to say anything

His stance towards hishis mercenaries as he knew that humans would naturally perform better under heavy stress In this case, he wanted thethen their bonds, which they did in an incredibly short period of time Rhode even planned not to let them rest if they couldn’t raise their weapons, and only when they had mentally or physically broken doould he stop

Under such pressure, the mercenaries had no time to consider minor problems between the different cliques They took in deep breaths and slu to the other nearby mercenaries

Rhode didn’t want theht cause hiether Basically, he wanted a balance between fear and respect, which hat he was looking at right now This roup leader , and neither must they be unfriendly or rude Rhode recalled a tiuild because he was too cold Since everyone was a player, he didn’t have a reason to display his arrogance However, Rhode was clear that a leader cannot lead with only kindness as a trait When others begin to realize that you’re not nificant probleazing at Rhode The young, black-haired man sat quietly in the corner Flames from campfire illuminated his slender frame While he physically sat near the h he was far away As an ex-roup leader, Kavos understood why Rhode did this because his brother Derick was the saroup after the army ceased its operations, Kavos didn’t feel that his reserved brother would be able to do a good job He felt that Derick wasn’t as skilled as him in soft skills and he wasn’t as passionate as Obertan who could rely on his chared to succeed

Although he wasn’t well-liked a, his stern attitude which he cultivated fronition of the mercenaries However, Kavos was clear that Rhode wasn’t such a person This experienced thief sensed the e tiance, prideful and deter his views on anything That perpetually expressionless face kept all emotions within and would only reveal a sirl with the same face as him

When Kavos met both Rhode and Christie, he was stunned It was especially so when Rhode displayed a brilliant smile that easily rivaled the h he had to quickly change his thoughts because he remembered that this ender

Fortunately, Rhode did not appear in crowded areas with Christie… if not, who kneould happen?

Almost there…

Rhode calculated the journey They had spent five days in Blackrock Depths Coincidentally, Rhode already predicted there would be certain situations, so he had given his h time to prepare for this However, despite all the predictions and preparations, injuries were still unavoidable Two mercenaries had already paid with their lives for their carelessness The Parasite also infected five to six others Luckily, Lize and Celia were there to rescue them However, it would be hard to say if they wouldn’t be trau out the worms from their bodies

At this moue They whispered curiously and looked to the direction of Rhode orry in their eyes Some quick-witted mercenaries had discovered that the amount of rest ti , Rhode would let theer, but if the monsters eak, then they would be like the donkeys whipped by the merchants These few days they were already used to Rhode’s instructions, and now, they realized that their break had obviously been an to suspect so and seemed to discuss with themselves No one dared to ask Rhode about it Some of thewith Rhode They were the only ones allowed to sit in Rhode’s vicinity Therefore, no et closer to them After all, these beautiful ladies had a unique charht When they were fighting the monsters, the mercenaries realized that the maidens weren’t anywhere safer than the characteristic touched soaze was like a sword hanging near their necks Her cold expression was enough to stop thoseclose to her and et hurt by playing this stupid gaentle cleric who healed their wounds Even if they feigned injuries, she wouldn’t get mad But Celia would intervene soaze

In other words, the four ladies were like a bunch of thorny roses Beautifully dangerous If you hug theet pricked But even if you retreat, so would draw you back to theht even envy these mercenaries who had the chance to party with such beautiful women in a dark cave But little did they know that this was nothing like those erotic fantasies in their heads It could even be considered mental torture

Frankly, when the ether with Rhode, they didn’t feel a speck of jealousy Rather, they felt that it would only cause unnecessary trouble if they associated with theet up”
