Everything is good and bad, and so is Rhodes.

After this match, there was no mercenary group in the Pafield area to question whether Starlight was qualified to represent them. This is of course a good thing, but in turn, Rhodes was also very worried. Others are proud and complacent, and really think that the Midsummer Festival is just like this friendly match, they can win by casually playing, and others will abstain and surrender if they don't. And hindsight also proved that Rhodes's worry was right. Even a careful girl like Li Jie began to think to be more beautiful in her heart-to be beautiful? You don't even know if you can win, you already want to play beautiful?

So after their victory, Rhodes not only did not praise them, but also poured them a pot of cold water. Not only that, in order to prevent them from losing their heads in the victory, he also arranged a very special for Old Walker. The task-let him send some reliable people to the crowd, stir up confusion and degrade his subordinates. In fact, a large part of the hiss and abuse in the stands was the result of their incitement.

"I said, kid ... you do this ... they don't have any idea."

Sitting at the table, Old Walker felt the beard on his chin and asked a little uneasily. Although when Rhodes assigned him a task, Old Walker also knew a little what he meant. After all, as a former genius, the atmosphere of the Midsummer Festival was still familiar. Because of this, Old Walker also understands that compared to the Midsummer Festival, this warm-up match is too far away in both atmosphere and specifications, so it is right to cool them properly. But Old Walker was also very worried. He had seen many talented and mercenary mercenaries perish because they couldn't withstand such a blow, not to mention that the five people after the opening did show a glorious style, to be fair. Old Walker is very hopeful that they can continue to go without falling down because of these obstacles.

Of course, he is not ignorant of the reasoning that Rhodes said, but everyone is like this, especially when he is old, his heart is easy to soften. If the old Walker is ten years younger, it is estimated that he is just here with Rhodes now. Heiyin laughed and wondered how to beat these little ghosts and speed up their maturity. But after all, the old Walker is older and has less thoughts in this area than before, so now he began to worry about whether such a blow would give those children any bad ideas ...

"Of course they have ideas, and that's normal, old guy."

Rhodes sat behind the table, gazing at the documents in his hands, and not looking up to answer the old Walker's questions. Unlike the old Walker, Rhodes thought he had a good grasp of these people's surnames and psychology. Marilyn's self-control is strong, and this is definitely not the first time for her, so she doesn't need Rhode to worry. Although Li Jie was a little bit fluttering in the past, she was very good at introspection. Now she has noticed her mistake. As long as she corrects it by heart, the problem is not big. Not to mention Annie, Rhodes even suspected that these things had no effect on her. And she didn't care, in a way, it was an enviable family name ...

Joey and Lando may have some problems, but Rhodes thinks their problems should not be serious, because Joey and Lando are both rookies. One of the great advantages of rookies is that they are particularly accurate in their positioning. It's even a little too low sometimes. When letting, this too low awareness will restrict their hands and feet many times, making them unable to exert their 100% or 200% strength. But the advantage is that in this kind of psychological warfare, they will not jump like thunder because they are despised by others, and they can well accept their weaknesses and deficiencies. This is the advantage of the rookie.

So just as when Landor was ridiculed for winning with expensive and powerful magical props, he did not want to prove anything in a hurry, because he knew very well that there were no such alchemy props and products made by Rabis Weapons, whether I can win or not is really hard to say.

"But don't worry, we need your help in this battle."

"what?"

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Old Walker's eyes widened in surprise, and he even dug out his ears. Some of the dark-haired young men who couldn't believe looking at the eyes, hadn't heard their ears yet. Is it wrong? Is it? But ... shouldn't be, so what does Rhode mean? What did he want to say? But before the old Walker asked it clearly, Rhodes spoke.

"I think you also know how old the four mercenary guilds at the Midsummer Festival are."

Hearing this sentence, Old Walker also converged his expression and became serious. He certainly knew how powerful the four mercenary guilds were, and they had occupied the top spot in their respective regions for at least ten years. These mercenary guilds are powerful and influential in the four regions, not to mention as mercenary guilds, they have the political and economic support that mercenary regiments can never have.

Although the mercenary association has mercenary guild demotion rules, it is a pity that no mercenary guild has really "enjoyed" this treatment except for Hiller's Burning Blade. Moreover, their struggle has completely exceeded the level of struggle between ordinary mercenary regiments and reached a higher level.

Although the rules of the mercenary association have been implemented, there are countermeasures and policies, and the major mercenary guilds are not fools. Although they have reached their level, there is no way to start the mercenary regiment and eliminate those that are possible. obstacle. But this does not prevent them from doing something secretly. In fact, each mercenary guild has one or two mercenary regiments. Their task is very simple. It is to attack those mercenary regiments that may impact the guild seats. Hold them firmly. Not only that, they also need to prevent hostile guilds from sending people to pump their hind legs, so the four mercenary guilds are not familiar with the experience of the mercenary regiments in this area.

In their eyes, the starlight of the new born is actually no different from a chicken.

Not to mention that Rhodes is also very clear that the reason why the four mercenary guilds have to compete for guild places in the Pafeld region is that on the one hand they have the idea of ​​strengthening their own strength, and on the other hand they are serving the political forces behind them. For these long-running guilds, even if Rhodes has stated his position, they will not believe that Rhodes is really on his side. So they will definitely try their best to kill Starlight, let them out early, and no matter which side wins, they can at least use the people they trust to take over the next situation.

So Rhodes is very clear that the starlight led by him at this Midsummer Festival is actually facing many problems.

Reformers naturally take their eyes off themselves, but the supporters of Wang Dang may not feel good about themselves. Because he doesn't have much strength, and to discuss prestige, he is now very low, and it is not a big deal at all. Therefore, even if Wang Dang knows his position, they will not be merciful to him. At most, it won't stab you like a reformist and then laugh at you, but instead kindly ask if you want to be happy before stabbing you --- Isn't this the same result? !!

Of course, Rhodes did not expect his mercenary regiment to be the chick in the other four guild chicken stew mushrooms, but he also saw the situation clearly ... it would not work this way.

"So I need your help, old guy."

Rhode finally looked up.

"We have no way to compare with those mercenary guilds in terms of influence and economic strength, but they will certainly not let us sing along all the way, so I need your help and your subordinates."

"That's okay, boy, but ... you say help, what do you want me to do?"

Old Walker was puzzled and puzzled now. He is now too old, and his skill is not as good as before, and even if it was put before, Old Walker is not an opponent of these large mercenary guild members. The opponent is more powerful than him, let alone now. So ... what kind of help does this kid need?

"It's simple."

In the face of Old Walker's doubts, Rhodes didn't hesitate. It seemed that he had a plan already.

"This is something you can do, old guy, and I believe that if you can do exactly what I said, then this time, we will win."

For the troubles of the mercenary guild, Rhodes can only put it aside now, because he has more important things to deal with at present.

Although it is said that this warm-up match is held, everything is under Rhode's control from the beginning to the end. However, after all, he is not a god, and he cannot cover everything. So in the end, after the warm-up match, Rhodes found that he still miscalculated one thing ... that's what other mercenaries thought.

In fact, on the second day after the warm-up match, many mercenaries came to Starlight's stronghold to sign up to join their mercenary regiment. This number was not very large at first, only a few dozen, but the number gradually increased. Until now, nearly 300 mercenaries have expressed their desire to join Starlight. Most of them are idle mercenaries, but there are also many fringe figures in the mercenary group, and even some mercenaries who have been defeated by Starlight on the ring.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the so-called people go to high places, and the water flows to low places, because this time in the competition, the news of Starlight representing the Pafelde region to participate in the Midsummer Festival has spread, and they are participating in the guild. War, this immediately made many mercenaries heartbeat, you must know that not everyone can enter the Midsummer Festival. If they join Starlight, as long as they show their strength, will they appear at the Midsummer Festival as well?

Of course, some mercenaries are not considered from the front, but are considered in the long run. Now that this matter has been said, naturally the mercenary association does not need to treat this matter as absolute confidentiality as before to prevent death. Many well-informed mercenaries know that at this midsummer festival, if Starlight performs well, they will be directly promoted to mercenary guilds. This is no less attractive for these mercenaries. It's as if Hiller's Burning Blade was downgraded from the guild at that time, but there are still many people who are willing to join it, just because they value the Burning Blade is likely to become mercenary guild again. Now, when they saw the opportunity of Starlight, they swarmed like a fly to provoke this piece of fresh meat.

But not everyone thinks so.

In addition to the above two people who join the guild as their ultimate goal, other mercenaries have their own ideas. Some of them are expected to join Rhode's starlight, and then get his guidance. Just like Lando and Joey--especially those who know these two, know what they were before they joined Starlight. In just a few months, they were able to pick one and five. This must be the force behind Rhodes. Then, even such a rookie can succeed. Is it better to go to the next level?

Just as the head of the Macbeth Mercenary Regiment was concerned, naturally a mercenary commander did not like it, but a mercenary commander who could turn a stone into gold was everyone's enthusiasm. Many people in Shicheng have seen what they have done so far. Therefore, no one thinks that he can win by virtue of luck. Many people know that this young mercenary commander is powerful, and his vision is very good. He is able to tune two rookies into such a powerful elite. This shows that he is also strong in this regard.

Everyone expects to meet a boss who knows well, not a dull fellow.

Because of this, Rhodes was caught by surprise.

At present, more than 300 mercenaries are required to join Starlight, and they are moving in the direction of 400. No accidental breakthrough of 500 is not a problem.

This made the rest of the mercenary regiment nervous and proud. Because they all know that this is an opportunity for Starlight. Which mercenary group does not expect more people to be better? And if these people really join, then in terms of number, they will not be much worse than other mercenary guilds!

More than once, it was suggested that Rhodes recruit these men into the mercenary regiment, but Rhodes remained unmoved. He knows what these people are thinking, and he knows that this is indeed an opportunity to increase star power. But he didn't care at all, because Rhodes knew very well that Starlight, as a small mercenary group, could not afford to support so many people. Why are those mercenary guilds seeking economic and political assistance for the sake of sustaining it? A guild, hundreds of people, how much will it cost. Where would the money be enough if it only depended on mercenary missions? What's more, adventure is an unstable job. You just grow wheat and have a natural disaster. A task that can only earn 300 gold coins. In case the situation is not expected, you will lose 500 gold coins. Support --- This mercenary guild also does not last long. If you really recruit these three hundred people, you will wait for bankruptcy after a few months!

So Rhode didn't care at all. He just waited for these guys for a few days, and they disappeared without patience, so Rhodes didn't want to care about it. Even if the mercenaries surrounded the star's stronghold, he did not react at all.

However, after Qilian said that Christie was scared by so many people and was afraid to go for a walk, Rhodes immediately changed his mind.

His method is also very simple. In the face of these mercenaries, Rhodes gave the three brothers Marin, Lijie, Old Walker, Shana, and Kavos a few notes. It reads several locations near Deep Rock, and then he ordered Marin and others to take these guys there, and then conduct a test. Only those who were able to come out of those locations first according to the requirements on the note Only the first ten mercenaries are eligible to join Starlight.

After getting this trouble, Rhode finally made time at this moment and began to sort out the loot he collected from the warm-up match.
