Although Rhode felt bad because he was unable to cure Christie’s illness, except for that, everything still went smoothly After the banquet finished, the Head of the Mercenary association, Ton, had officially adroup, which was to be called the Starlight e of ion

“Mr Rhode Alander, on behalf of the Mercenary association, I officially announce that frouild I hope you can inherit the will of our mercenaries and move forward bravely”

Ton handed an exquisitely crafted sword to Rhode, and Rhode bowed down and respectfully took over the sword This was a syuild It also meant that from now on, Rhode and his team would officially become the leader of alla reatly enhanced First, as a guild, Starlight would have the backing of the Mercenary association in the Paphield region Including when they were going for souild could gather those sether with the permission from the Mercenary association Not only that, when they perceived that a ainstas they had conclusive evidence, they could even forcefully deroup to disband Of course, in the worst case scenario, the Guild could also eli force, if necessary

This was how the relationshi+p between the e cross-border organization, the Mercenary association enforcement itself was not sufficient After all, the job they had done was basically paperwork and their employees were mostly composed of civilian personnel, which led to a very low deterrent effect Even if so, it wasn’t like they could divide the out a tuft of hair like the Monkey King and iether with the Mercenary Guild, their strong force could make up for the association’s lack of enforcement It was a in solution, so naturally, it was a pleasant cooperation

“President Ton, I assure you that I will lead Starlight and keepforward We will not turn our backs on our lory of battle and fight for our glory and faith ”

Rhode took the sword and replied in a low voice Hearing Rhode’s answer, Ton nodded with satisfaction Although Rhode’s behavior at the Midsummer Festival made him a little unhappy, he was pleased with his modest answer Not to mention, Rhode had also objectively helped hia here for the cere until here, Ton showed a friendly shed He unfolded a dom, the most conspicuous part on it was the four syuilds in the corners of the lory and reward of victory for your efforts”

Ton pointed to the et your reward, Mr Rhode”

Rhode looked up as he heard Ton’s words He looked at the map carefully and exclaie after they were prouild was that they would have the authority to build a fortress in their area that truly belonged to theh as 700

This fortress was not the sort of stronghold that Rhode had built before In the Dragon Soul Continent, in order to prevent those who possessed forces fro, the Mercenary association clearly stated that a holds and its hold itself could not have any offensive structures If a roup was found to have violated the law, the local authorities would able to ‘dehold that Rhode had previously built looked very pitiful until they were upgraded to afunction were finally unlocked

And in terhold and fortress were also different The hold was only the size of a se as a suild to decide where the fortress was to be built They had to submit an application first and wait for it to be vetted by the authorities and recognized by the association before they could foruilds could enjoy special privileges, which allowed them to make their own local ordinance that did not involve or violate national laws and regulations Naturally, if there were any clauses that threatened the authority of the King, they would also suffer the same blow

“I’ve made a decision, Mr Ton”

Without much hesitation, Rhode quickly pointed to the northeast corner of the Paphield area on theRhode’s movement He was surprised and immediately frowned

“This is… the Land of Atonement? Are you sure, Mr Rhode? Do you knohat place is it? Although I, as the Head of the association, should not have a tendentious view, I honestly do not think that it’s a very good place”

“I’ve made up my mind, Mr Ton”

Rhode politely shook his head as he heard Ton’s kind advice Of course, he knew exactly what kind of place the Land of Atonee his mind In fact, it was the reason why he chose it In there, he would be able to make the best use of all the resources at his disposal

“Now that you’veto take his advice, and so Ton stopped saying anything about it He took out his pen, circled it in detail, and then solemnly put away the map

“Then, Mr Rhode, I will report your choice to Your Highness and wait for her pero to the Land of Atonement and establish your own fortress Still, I expect you to do your best After all, a uild has a heavy responsibility ”

“I will certainly bear your advice in htly as he heard Ton’s advice He understood what Ton uild see its oer, and able to do whatever they wanted However, in reality, it was the opposite because only one ion and because of the cooperative nature between a uild and a uardians of the ion to soroups in one region and they were scattered all over It was very difficult for an ordinary guild to ensure that nothing rong and that there were no conflicts between the armies and uaranteeing its absolute authority and influence in the area

That was one of the reasons whyfrom authorities and merchants It was a bit difficult for those simple-minded mercenaries who only kne to screauardians of the entire region What’s more, the mercenary industry itself was not directly related to input and output Having good connections and luck was enough for them to make a lot of money and not have to worry about retirement However, bad connections and bad luck would lead to their demise

Unfortunately, unlike the players, an NPC couldn’t resurrect after death So for the the ‘undead incident’ that happened in the Paphield region previously, roups eventually disbanded because they lacked the strength to defend theainst such risks

The saer thansuch a sreater risks, they, too, would have this problem

This risk was unavoidable because the Mercenary association hest) mercenary mission every year Else, they would be forcibly disbanded They were not allowed to fail nor delay thoseBlade was stuck on this rule, repeatedly That’s why his Burning Blade went up and down, down and up, up and down every year

Because of this, although Rhode’s Starlight had now been foruild, not many people were not optimistic about this future But at least, he had taken his first step

After leaving the Mercenary association, Rhode walked to the hall and soon sao faures

“Frankly, I still think it’s a bit too much for you, kid”

Barter smacked Rhode’s shoulder as he drank the beer in his hand and laughed loudly

“There’s still half a year until the winter break, but kid… How are you going to accomplish two five-star mercenary missions in six months’ time? These missions aren’t any easier than the stuff that you did previously ”

“You will suffer a great loss if you underestimate hi at Rhode with his usual gracious and calm smile

“Those two old fellows, Mobis and Waltz, precisely didn’t expect that they would lose Especially, that old Waltz He even took Rosen out, but see?”

“Yeah, Rosen…”

Upon hearing this naone and replaced by a sigh

“You know, I don’t really have a good opinion about that old bastard, but… Ah, just forget it There’s nothing to talk about ”

“Don’t just talk about h Rhode was not in a very good mood because of Christie’s situation, fortunately, his poker face had concealed it So, even if his current face was expressionless, no one would notice that he was not in a very good mood Rhode also didn’t cohed Since Lydia couldn’t help Christie, he could only take one step at a tio on It’s not like it was the end of the world just because one or two things didn’t go in his way That was his philosophy of life

“Yeah? What do you , Barter’s bewilderment, Rhode could not help but frown

“True, we’re not ready for a five-star mission, but that applies to you too, Mr Barter For the preparation of this Midsummer Festival, I don’t think you had the tiht?”

Both Viktor and Barter were stunned by Rhode’s rhetorical question

In fact, Rhode was indeed right; not only theuilds had not yet prepared for this year’s five-star y and effort into the Midsuuilds to start preparing for the mission The five-star mission was not easy to accomplish From a player’s point of view, it was on the saroup to fail about ten to twenty ti it

The players could still resurrect even after they were dead However, for NPCs, if they failed even three times, they were definitely finished
