Chapter 857: Under Starlight’s Flag
The harsh winter was entirely over as spring spread to every corner of the continent and lush greenery filled the landscapes The as over and people had a fresh start to their lives No ained or lost in war, they had to continue living their lives
During this period of time, Rhode’s ‘Land of Chaos exploration’ had officially taken shape After grinding for EXP in the Devil Gulf for half a month, not only did he reach level 65, but the Astral Teraded to level 2 with the selfless contributions of the Bow Knights But it was a pity that there were only a total of 150 Bow Knights, so despite the Astral Te level 2, Rhode could only su options were ordinary Elf Knights, Rangers, or Mages… In the end, Rhode chose 50 Elf Rangers to coht of choosing the Elf Mages Although they weren’t as powerful as the Bow Knights, their lowest level was level 70 and it would be a steal if he copped 50 of thee the influence the Land of Chaos had on ic spells He didn’t wish to have 50 unstable nuclear bombs that would explode randoers Even though they were experts in long-range attacks, they were still capable of casting spells at a certain range They also had unique techniques in ter as the Elf Mages, he could only settle for second best at the moment
As for the water elemental creatures and fire ele The Land of Chaos held the largest influence over eleathered fros with spiritual properties froe troubles if the strength of Chaos were to disrupt the pure elemental compositions in them In the past, there were players who summoned elemental creatures in the Land of Chaos and they alh it was definitely more worth it to summon elemental creatures than creatures from the Astral Temple, Rhode wished to be more cautious—moreover, his Order barrier couldn’t contain that many people too
However, Rhode also couldn’t possibly bring along his su to his experience in the Land of Chaos, Joey, Randolf, and John had chosen elites from their teams respectively to form an elite squad But even so, the number of elites was too small and only made up a total of 60
Rhode didn’t intend to rely on ordinary huers and Thieves to develop the Land of Chaos because this would be suicide even for players What he valued was the biggest advantage he had right now
“———!”
A dozen glaring rays streaked across the sky and a series of explosions sounded a few seconds later The solid slab cracked and shattered in an instant with dust fluttering everywhere Rhode crossed his arazing at his arth from the Astral Temple in this ‘Exploration Teaes
However, if one were to look closely, one would discover that no es, they weren’t using their usual weapons Instead, every one of the and resembled the Cavalryer be considered staffs…”
Rhode gazed helplessly at the ‘e equipment which Lapis modified At this moment, the tip of the staff had become entirely like a turret constructed with a round, eical radiances As the geed above hiular sic crystal—the source of power for the staff
“Yes, Sir”
Lapis held the railing in excitement, unaware of Rhode’s helplessness This Elf ould cower and hug her head in fear whenever a battle was going on gazed at the battlefield in exhilaration Her eyes glinted with unprecedented pride
“After that, I reworked the entire h there are still soe, it fulfills your requireic barrier can protect the holder fro capabilities also aren’t weakened at all It can use spiritual resonance to enhance its effect too! Also, I’ the concept you toldworks out well, I guarantee that not even an army with thousands of men and horses can come close to our fortress! Furthermore, if Madam Mini Bubble Gum’s and Madam Canary’s assuical technology on this continent and er!”
Crazy researchers and science madmen are truly a disease…
For so a spectacle and standing on the tower a hysterically at the collapsing world eed in Rhode’s head—could this be a common disease for every successful person?
Rhode let out a sigh Then, he patted on Lapis’ shoulder
“Lapis”
“H the matter, Sir Rhode?”
Lapis turned around excitedly, but Rhode quickly lifted her chin and pressed his lips against hers
“…!”
Lapis froze to the spot and widened her eyes in shock Rhode skillfully extended his tongue, pried open her teeth, and tangled with her tongue After a few h he had just finished his dessert
“Not bad, just that your lips are a little dry Lapis, no irl You should take care of yourself h-spirited Lapis was nowhere to be seen anymore as she had returned to the reserved, ti lady Rhode nodded in satisfaction before patting on her head No matter what, he wasn’t interested in that Frankenstein side of her This pure, innocent little Elf was still his preferred type of girl
But apart from this, Rhode had to admit that she handled the situation ined Not only could this weapon cast ic powers, but it could also achieve different effects through the ic spells couldn’t exceed the stored ic power in the crystal, the nu of an issue for hiraded the functionality of the weapon, it also increased the control requirees after the Peak Apprentice Stage were qualified to use it in battle Besides, even though Lapis had also decreased the weight of the weapon, not everyone was capable of using it freely yet Even right now, apart froes had a hard tih Rhode hoped that Lapis would decrease its weight more, it seemed like it wasn’t possible for now
But this was more than sufficient
Rhode nodded in satisfaction Even though this weapon eaker than h in the hands of troops in battle Besides, even if the weapons orn out and couldn’t cast any e size could still be useful in battles for physical attacks No es, they were the core strength of this operation
Everything is ready
Rhode puckered his brows and displayed a stern expression He had to ad the Elves fro almost 400 troops for the exploration of the Land of Chaos He wasn’t that worried if he were to lead 400 players However, these troops were natives and could be considered basic NPCs ere less capable
Without talent trees, the ability to upgrade levels, and legendary equipeon drops, would the exploration be successful even if he cath and equipment?
Moreover, the Land of Chaos blocked off all connections to Order and Rhode couldn’t possibly escape to the fortress using the teleportation door In the game, the players could ‘revive’ upon death, but he was sure that everything would be done for if he died in here
I ive up on this plan
There was a split second when he thought of giving up this risky plan What rong with living peacefully in the Land of Atonement? Since the system was around, he wasn’t afraid of the Undead Army’s encirclement Not only that, but he also had the women, authority, and money Was it necessary for him to risk his life with this adventure? It would be too late for regret if so bad were to happen But…
No
Rhode had to give it a shot even if it was risky Nounder other’s control and Lydia was no exception Although Rhode was a player of the Munn Kingdo to kneel down and be subdued by her Besides, strength that didn’t belong to hiuarantee his safety He had already experienced this once during his battle with Erin Her endless, th and unprecedented pressure were deeply imprinted in his head Back then, he relied on his wit and survived since Erin didn’t have any combat awareness yet, but what about in the future? He couldn’t rely on these factors every tiht?
What a joke
Rhode scoffed before stepping down the platform He had already decided and since that was the case, he wouldn’t regret or change his mind He had always behaved this way It was the same in the past, present, and future
“The time has come!”
Marlene stood before the table with a stern expression, gazing at the indistinct shadows in the crystal ball
“Guardians of the Senia Fa out just like in the prophecy The seal on the Land of Chaos is about to be unlocked This time, we shall return and prove our value and existence We shall personally witness and partake in this moment that is worth an eternity”
“… I’m aware of this, Marlene”
