Chapter 507 - Battle Briefing (2/2)
But to Rhode, the realistic effects of this identity were far greater than the uilds were limited in the nu harm to the law and order of the society But now, Rhode wasn’t only a guild leader He was also a Baron As a noble, he had the rights to own his very own private soldiers
Even though Rhode held the lowest noble rank, he could still recruit up to 2000 private soldiers according to rules However, there would be a conflict in this arrangeuild shouldn’t contain more than 500 members Now, Rhode could recruit up to 2000 private soldiers with his noble identity In other words, he could recruit up to 2500 of them…
Of course, Rhode are that he couldn’t find 2500 of theradually as their eyes flickered in exciteht Since they were the henchmen of a noble, they could enjoy military treatment In the future, if they met any troubles on the battlefield or if they couldn’t battle anyenerous compensation to lead fortunate lives in their hometown They wouldn’t be in dire straits like their companions who starved to death on the streets
Furtherhness Lydia Wasn’t their bright future just before their eyes If they could accomplish her request?
Rhode nodded as he observed their thirst and excitement for their future Mercenaries were a bunch of practical huerous task which was not proportional to the re to discuss theexcited because, after all, time was limited “This ill not end so quickly, so we have to prepare ourselves for this prolonged war According to Royal Highness Lydia’s data, those idiots weren’t satisfied with just taking down the Brenhill Fortress and they are now heading towards Paphield But fortunately, we have enough time to head into the Cloud Suuys to pick 50 th must reach my requirements and they azed at Joey and Randolf before nodding “I proht for Paphield until the very last moment!”
“Good” Rhode nodded in satisfaction But these wasn’t all that he had planned He turned his attention to another crucial member “… Marlene, are there any problems?”
Rhode raised this question because this war had obviously dragged the Senia Family into it
“Yes, Rhode” As expected, Marlene stood up and nodded “My Father has given me an order… I’m sorry, I think I will need to return to the Senia Fa battle”
“… Is that so…” Rhode was slightly disappointed Honestly, he hoped that Marlene could stay by his side as she had been his adjutant for a long ti her handle his matters with a peace of mind He trusted Marlene and Marlene had never disappointed hie, Marlene had outstanding abilities The upco battle would proceed much smoother if Rhode could have her assistance But now… He had no other choice but to let her go
“Alright, I wish you good luck, Marlene” Rhode nodded and shi+fted his attention back to the masses At this moment, Lize asked with knitted brows “Mr Rhode, why do you think that this battle will not end so quickly? Do you think that Big Sister… Royal Highness Lydia has no solutions to exterh Lize asked softly, the noises in the room muted abruptly
“Indeed, I have this doubt too, kid,” Old Walker wiped the liquor off his lips “Everyone knows that the various cities in the Munn Kingdoel Arels severing their heads?”
“Royal Highness Lydia will never dispatch the Battle Angel Army unless necessary and I think that she will not step into the battlefield herself either”
“Why?” Joey couldn’t help but yell “Boss, I don’t get what you mean The Southerners have declared to leave the country so why isn’t Royal Highness willing to do sohness’s abilities, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to get rid of the rebel arht?”
“Indeed, this isn’t difficult for Royal Highness Lydia at all” Rhode gazed at Joey “She can lead her Battle Angel Army and capture those idiots once and for all This way, the rebel army will crumble without entirely without their commanders But if she really does that, she will possibly face decades of unceasing war from the South”
“W-Why?” Lize asked and this tiave her the answer
“Because all of you have forgotten that soldiers aren’t the only ones who can start a war and every ill need support and replenishment from the backlines The Southern civilians think that the soldiers were fighting for their freedo thehness Lydia elidom in the hearts of the Southern civilians will definitely fall They ht possibly pass on to future generations”
“So, if Little Lydia is sh, she will definitely not take decisive actions in this complex situation” Gillian joined in the conversation and she pointed her finger at the masses cheekily “That bunch of idiot Southerners is still immersed in the romanticism of rebellion But this is war and they have belittled it They haven’t experienced what a ill bring them and humans will not remember pain unless they are whipped When the duration of the war extends slohen they can’t receive victory, and when their originally peaceful life is filled ar, death, and chaos, these people will learn to reflect and regret Little Lydia is waiting for this chance She doesn’t only wish to simply defeat the South She wishes to completely uproot the foundation of the Southern unrest Only after experiencing the cruelty and horror of war, those idiots will learn to not put a war on a roe so easily in the future”
“That’s right” Rhode nodded in agrees were overly complicated for the that is years fro the defense lines and ignore the situation of the South At the very least, we don’t wish to see Paphield sinking into a similar chaos as the South But… That doesn’t azed at Old Walker The senior mercenary didn’t have the mood to enjoy his liquor any, kid? You need ?”
“Your ht?”
“Of course I can assure you in my own name… Why?”
“So then, I have a very important task that needs your help”
“What is it?”
“It’s very si the seniorinto his ear “I only have one request and that is to make your men praise and support the Southern Reformist Party in public as much as possible At the same time, object violently to those who doubt the Southern Reformist Party Of course, they must be careful not to expose their identities”
“That’s no probleazed at Rhode with doubts “What exactly are you planning, kid?” The se at all However, there was an ice-cold glint reflecting in his eyes
“It’s nothing I just hope to speed up the pace of their perishment, that’s all”
