“…”
Christie opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling vacantly
The entire stronghold was dead silent The little girl sat herself up and quietly took in everything before her eyes Without a change of clothes, the little girl got off the bed and approached the door
Christie didn’t reach out to the knob but the wooden door quietly opened by itself The little girl stepped out of the roo from the empty hallway She turned around and ascended the stairs Before her eyes, the locked large door suddenly opened autoht wind breezed froirl
If it was the usual Christie, perhaps she would be shi+vering by noever, at this e at all She stepped up while barefooted and arrived the rooftop of the stronghold The girl gazed upon the skies, but at this moht eye gradually intensified The rich radiance flickered froht skies
No one saw that at this ather The clouds sheltered the moon and stars and continuously let out deep ruirl listened attentively to it, she stretched out her five fingers towards the sky
Ru ripped the clouds abruptly and it happened to strike at Christie, shrouding her within In an instant, the little girl was floith purple electricity from head to toe and at this moment, Christie clenched her fist
“Hu!!”
Along with thissuddenly reversed back into the skies The clouds swiftly disappeared and in a blink of an eye, the ain revealed itself Lucid and elegant radiance fell from the skies once more
“… Rhode…”
And at this moment, Christie swayed and softly ht skies Then, the little girl shut her eyes and collapsed to the ground
“Bam!”
At that instant, Rhode felt his eardru before his eyes were pure whiteness His ears couldn’t hear anything There was an instance where Rhode had a misconception that he had left this world However, in a short period of tiradually dispersed and the pitch-black, shattered hall once again unveiled before Rhode
Thump
Up until this round He shook his head, and after realizing the powerful suction was gone, he turned around towards the ruins It was silent and nothing was odd Rhode reluctantly heaved a sigh of relief and stood himself up to carefully scan the area
At this moment, the other mercenaries peeked out frohtenedly After ensuring everything was in order, all of the towards Rhode and observed towards the direction of the broken passageway
There was nothing
What happened?
Rhode frowned at this strange sight Although this wasn’t too odd as a passageway ritual wouldn’t leave any corpse or traces after it got destroyed, he was still dubious of the force that was able to shut off the forcefully opened ritual This wasn’t a passageway that required any precise positioning, coe number of sacrifices in order to open This could even be considered a killing blow by the Demon General after it decided to take they and himself to blow up and shatter the ritual barrier Such a passageas the hardest to shut down For exa water over by opening the valve Therefore, in order to close this passageway, one just needs to close the valve and seal the opening securely
However, this violent behavior of the De a hole in the dain to floards and under such situations, it would be difficult no les!
But nohat exactly ‘blocked’ the flood of the passageway?
Not anyone would hold such strength Even though Gillian ht be possible, however, Rhode could swear that he didn’t unlock her seal Without unlocking Gillian’s seal, her levels and strength were sieasn’t linked to fire elemental plane of existence, so Gillian’s chances on this were basically zero
So then, who exactly was it?
Rhode frowned and began to carefully ponder He shi+fted his suspicious gaze towards the fox-ear round where the passageas However, detecting Rhode’s gaze, Gillian shrugged her shoulders and indicated that she also got no clues
No er
Rhode let out a long sigh and forced himself to throw this doubt to the back of his head He turned around and gave a new command
“Start a comprehensive search Report any abnor the orders, the h they were tired and just skipped death, these mercenaries kneasn’t the tiritted their teeth and pulled the later, Anne, Joey, and Marfa ere responsible for the other three routes attacks had gathered With their reports, Rhode had a preli of the current situation
Strictly speaking, this battle was very successful Rhode’s a e of fireballs terrified those Barbarians ere guarding the Fortress and they fled On the other hand, Joey and Marfa used this opportunity to lead their men to the specific direction which Rhode had advised and iuard However, even so, it took a lot of effort in taking down these Barbarians The main reason was that the Black Robes were overly hard to deal with and to the mercenaries, this situation was too unfamiliar for them If the Demon General wasn’t pinned down by Gillian, and Rhode didn’t e to defeat the Gloom Shadow, it would have been hard to predict ould have won And even so, in these two troops of mercenaries, two of them died in the process and three were heavily injured However, luckily, Rhode had plentiful Clerics by his side to pull the three of them back from the brink of deaths
“Two died?”
Rhode wrinkled his brows reluctantly after knowing two men had died in the battles To him, those two men could potentially be part of their future main forces Now that they’re dead, they couldn’t be revived in this world Therefore, after hearing this piece of the report, Rhode was truly regretful However, the mercenaries were very calm to this news instead — They took down 200 over people successfully with only around 30 men Moreover, they also defeated the de this Fortress, which was a massive victory for them From a normal human’s perspective, even if both sides were hu side would have a chance for victory only if they had a few ti side Not only Rhode claimed a ferocious area with such li the enemies’ moves Whereas, these mercenaries weren’t dumb either as they could naturally see Rhode’s exquisite plans for thisthe depressed look on Rhode’s face when the report of two ht was heard, the mercenaries were thankful for his concern as it was rare to be under such a kind leader However, they didn’t know that deep down, Rhode was heart-aching for losing two rare elites
“Please don’t blame yourself, Sir Life and death are ruled by fate Those two brothers were unlucky, please don’t take it too hard”
“I understand”
Rhode nodded in acknowledgment of thetoo nificant probleah some special missions or coincidences to recruit some elite NPCs to be their servants Some NPCs were especially pretty and some had special abilities These were considered a massive support for the players However, only the players were able to revive after they died and not for the elite NPCs as they would disappear entirely So, many players treasured their elite servants a lot and unless necessary, they wouldn’t choose to let them die There werewacky tasks just for the sake of recruiting cute maidens as their servants They would rather die a hundred times than to let an NPC die once If the NPC dies due to any reason, these players would be heartbroken,
“But, it’s still best if no one dies”
Of course, Rhode wouldn’t be as heartbroken as those players However, he did spend a huge a these elite mercenaries And for them to die in such a daood at all However, he understood that life and death were ruled by fate There were those that fought hard in battlegrounds and survived but got knocked down by a car in front of their own hoh Rhode felt depressed, he recovered after a ave Rhode a little surprise — Those villages actually survived!
This was all thanks to Marfa — This ed mercenary followed Rhode’s orders and led his round sewer into the baseers ie and quickly reported to Rhode However, as Rhode was dealing with the troublesome enemies, he had totally missed the communications As a result, Marfa had no choice but to ers and lead theh the path they took to reach theers would’ve been dead to the explosion
At thiss The Fortress had been completely wiped off and there weren’t any trace of Barbarians left
Rhode let out a long, long sigh of relief after hearing this piece of news
After spending so much effort, this Fortress was finally his
Rhode swayed slightly at this thought After di oddly fatigue that he wished he could instantly shut his eyes and sleep for athe next plans However, Rhode knew that this wasn’t the tiht out his enthusiasht to clear dungeons and forcefully turned to everyone to give a cos to us now… Everyone has had a rough tis since you’re very free and energetic You shall stay guard tonight…”
“Ah…”
