Chapter 520 Grosso's Twilight
Before we knew it, autumn was already coming.
Looking around, you can see a golden ocean on the Grosso Plain. The mature and full wheat ears are pressing down heavily, swaying and shaking with the breeze, rippling like the waves of the sea. Anyone who sees this scene will be moved by the beauty of nature... But in Rhodes's view, the scene in front of him is more meaningful in addition to being moved.
"It's really troublesome..."
He stood on the hillside, frowned slightly at the ocean below, a trace of haze flashed past Rhodes's face and then disappeared.
Since leaving the Fortress of the Clouds and Fog and entering the south alone, it took Rhodes a full six days before finally reaching the Grosso Plain, one of his target places. Here, Chapter 520, Grosso's dusk is the most important grain reserve base for the reformists, and it is also the first goal that Rhodes must destroy. It has to be said that this journey is quite easy for Rhodes, and his familiarity with the Duchy of Moon allows him to pass through the forest paths with his eyes closed. Even Rhodes knows some secret paths that even the locals do not know. It is precisely because of this that he was able to smoothly pass through layers of defense and come to the hinterland of the south.
For Rhodes, the journey was easy. Without leading his subordinates, he could move quickly and very conveniently. In addition, he had reached the level of level 40 of masters, and his swordsmanship had entered the legendary realm. With the coordinating elves around him, there was no existence that dared to threaten Rhodes in this relatively stable and peaceful south. If you insist on saying that there are any flaws, it is that the threat level here is too low. Even if Rhodes wants to swipe the dungeon alone, he will not be able to produce any good equipment.
But he didn't come here to swipe the dungeon alone.
"Now you can tell me what you are planning to do when you come here, master?"
At this moment, a stiff voice came from behind Rhodes.
Chapter 520: Grosso's dusk, Lacetina walked out of the woods with a stern face and stared at Rhode fiercely. Since Rod blacked her equipment in the battle of the Demon Duke, Selestina seemed to have owed Rhode even the superficial politeness. If it weren't for the contract between the summoning elves and the dominant, she wouldn't even want to see this annoying human. But unfortunately, now, she doesn't count.
Rhodes is no longer surprised by Celestina's uncooperative attitude. Although Celestina is very charming. Her noble bloodline and her innate charming force make the girl have a dangerous and attractive attraction. However, Rhodes will not give her any face. Although he is very clear that his actions are pushing Celestina toward his own opposite, Rhodes is not worried at all. Although Celestina is very dissatisfied with him, it is just a degree of dissatisfaction.
There was no real malice and hatred from the girl. This was very rare for a devil. Although the contract was concluded, the devil's cunning wisdom could still make the other party worse than death through various means. But Selestina was different. Although her mouth was a little more poisonous and her daily behavior was extremely perverse. But if it was just a conspiracy, Rhodes found that she could be said to be more than a dozen streets away from her kind.
Moreover, as far as the devil is concerned, Selestina's temper is already considered a good start.
Of course, this does not rule out another possibility.
“Execute tasks.”
Rhodes did not express any dissatisfaction with Selestina's inquiry. He just shrugged his shoulders and then replied lightly. When he heard his answer, Selestina snorted coldly.
"Ah...you're the only one? Master, you've really been daydreaming too much. Maybe you have the power of the master now, maybe you can kill the enemy's commander among thousands of troops. But if you want to destroy a town? If it's a hell, there's no problem, it's up to you, Master, you..."
Selestina did not finish her words. Because at this moment, Rhode's eyes turned slightly, and then he gently tapped the hilts of the two daggers around his waist, as if he was distracted. Seeing Rhode's movement, Selestina's originally sarcastic sarcasm and complaints were like a water tap that was locked up, and she could not make any sound. She gritted her teeth and stared at Rhode fiercely. Rhode was not afraid of the girl's disgusting and hatred at all, but raised her head and stared at her. It was not until a moment later that Selestina seemed to have given up and hung her head helplessly.
"………It's so boring. Why should I worry about your life or death, Master? It's better if you die. I've been fed up with the days you have been instructed by you!!"
This is really something that brings something to you...
Seeing Selestina's face turned red and blue, Rhode couldn't help but look at the two swords at his hand. He really couldn't see that the young lady who was always arrogant on the surface was so afraid of Gray Hill and Madalas, just as if a mouse seemed to see a cat.
Speaking of which, until now, Rhodes found that his Holy Sword deck was a strange cycle of restraint—angels are afraid of devils, and devils are afraid of elves… If you want to say this, I am afraid no one will believe it.
However, what Selestina said was not wrong. This time, the order given to him by His Highness Litia was to launch an attack on Grosso and Fiat and completely destroy their food reserves and minerals. If Rhodes led his team, the success rate would be higher. But now, he is only single, how should he face the current situation? As a grain reserve base, Grosso's food reserves are not a little bit, and the reformists are not an idiot. On the way, Rhodes had noticed that there were multiple patrols patrolling around, and the granaries and mills were also heavily guarded. Obviously, the reformists also knew very well that after severing relations with the north, the transportation and import of grain would become a big problem. In order to prevent the other party from destroying it, these people also put in a lot of effort.
Grosso, the main food producer, looks like this. It is not difficult to imagine that Fiat is not much better. Although Rhodes didn't know how many people the other party was, it seems that there were a few regular troops. The only thing that is fortunate is that the southern part is tight at present, so they need to be prepared for the border, and attack the northern fronts, and at the same time they need to protect the main cities and regions, and be scattered everywhere. I am afraid that the reformers really want to pay attention to it, and they are powerless.
But even so, the number of people at present is definitely not something Rhodes can compete with.
But Rhodes was not worried at all.
"Indeed. As you said, there is no way for so many people to rely on me alone, but..."
Speaking of this, Rhodes glanced at the devil lady with a smelly face beside him.
"But I've never been fighting alone...huh!"
Seeing Rhode's gaze, Selestina snorted disdainfully. Of course she knew what Rhode was saying.
"What a shameless profession. I bully the weak with the masses. Master, can you still deserve the pride and glory of the swordsman?"
"It doesn't matter whether or not that kind of thing exists or not. What I need is victory, not glory."
Speaking of this, Rhodes raised his head and stared at the golden ocean in the distance.
"Next, I need your assistance. Selestina."
Then Rhode spoke. Then he reached out and took out a white, weird mask from his arms.
The sky gradually dimmed.
For Grasso's garrison patrol, this was just another long and boring day. They patrolled everywhere in the vicious autumn sunshine, watching the rural wild men busy in the wheat fields. This boring and dull days were so idle that it was so idle that it was not only the soldiers in the patrol, but even the garrison officers in charge of leading the command were lazy and leisurely at the moment. While he was casually walking across the ridge of the field, he was thinking in his mind whether to go to the tavern and have a certain place to go to the tavern for a while.
A dancer was very intimate—of course, he forced himself not to listen to the soldiers' discussions and anxiety about the frontline war. Although as soldiers, they were just executing orders, this did not mean that they were robots without thoughts. The reformists declared independence and attacked the north had undoubtedly affected these soldiers. They were worried and helpless. Since even their superiors had made a decision, what could these soldiers do?
Forget it, one day, even though I don’t know how long the days of peace can last, at least we……
"Ah... Just as the garrison officer was wandering outside the sky, suddenly a girl screamed from the woods not far away. When he heard the scream, the soldiers who were originally leisurely and lazy were stunned. They looked at each other in surprise, and then quickly ran into the woods.
As night fell, the woods seemed a little dim. When the soldiers of the patrol arrived in a hurry, they found that in a clearing in the depths of the woods, there was a girl sitting there, lowering her head as if in great pain. There were no other people around, only the girl.
who is she?
While seeing this girl, the soldiers of the patrol team couldn't help but have a question in their minds. Grosso is not a big place, it is just a small country town. In terms of its prosperity, it naturally cannot be compared with the metropolis by the southern harbor. And because of this, the women here are dressed very ordinary. However, the girl who looked gray-faced in front of them was wearing extremely luxurious black dresses, the soft and bright red velvet lining and the smooth black silk combination, even these country soldiers could see that it was of great value. Because of this, they could be sure that this girl was definitely not a country girl. Maybe it was the eldest lady of a family, but......... they didn't know what kind of nobles came nearby?
Who is this girl?
"Miss, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Seeing that there was no one around, the garrison officer naturally walked forward with the courage to come to the girl's side. A faint fragrance blew into his nose, even making the garrison officer feel dazed. When he heard his inquiry, the girl with her head lowered and lowered her head moved her body gently.
"Ah...yes, sorry...I. I was scared by a wild dog..."
A crisp, melodious and gentle voice echoed in everyone's ears. After hearing the girl's voice, the soldiers in the patrol felt their hearts beating suddenly. The gentle, soft and tempting charm tone and voice just heard it in their ears made them feel their blood boiling. At that moment, a few soldiers immediately walked to the girl and reached out to her diligently.
"Miss, please don't worry, we have checked it out. There are no wild dogs nearby, so please don't worry. But it's so late, and it's not safe for you to be here alone. How can we escort you back? Where are you living now?"
"You are...we are the fifth team of the Grasso Patrol. I am the captain. Please rest assured. Miss, with us here, nothing can hurt you!"
At this time, the garrison officer also reacted. Although he didn't know who this girl was, she must be a nobleman, hahaha. If he could take her back with someone, he might get the other party's favor. At that time, he might be able to get promoted and make a fortune... Hehehe, wouldn't it be better if this lady falls in love with her? Although there are differences in identity. But many folk legends have such stories...
For some reason, at this moment, looking at the girl in front of him, the garrison officer suddenly felt an unprecedented heartbeat. He even wanted to kneel down and give her his sword. No matter how much she could look at him, it wouldn't matter if she could even let him die... The rich fragrance came over him, making him feel that his brain could hardly think calmly.
"Miss... please get up. It's dark, so it will be dangerous to stay here. Please rest assured that we will protect you from going home..."
As he said that, a soldier reached out to support the girl in front of him. When he was about to touch the girl, suddenly, a black thorn flew out and wrapped around his wrist.
"Don't touch me, a lowly human."
"Why?"
The girl raised her head, her bright red eyes flashed with a faint red light under the night. When she saw her eyes, the soldiers instinctively felt a terrible chill and fear, but before they could react, countless thorns filled with spikes suddenly flew out of the girl's sleeves, tightly entangling them. Faced with this sudden attack on the soldiers of the patrol troops, no wonder they were just ordinary soldiers after all, and they were only at a level of more than ten, and they could not stop the attack in front of them. They didn't even have time to pull out their weapons, and they were bound by the long whip of thorns that had invaded them at some point.
"Woo... the sharp thorn pierced the clothes and went deep into the flesh. The sudden pain suddenly made many soldiers scream. However, as soon as they opened their mouths, they saw the girl's fingers move slightly, and then the thorns stood up, and then quickly drilled into the soldiers' open mouths. With this scene, the originally sharp scream stopped as if they had been castrated, and the woods returned to the darkness and silence of the previous ones.
It was not until this time that Selestina stood up. She took out a handkerchief and slapped the dust on her body gracefully, then walked forward slowly. Judging from the girl's movements alone, it seemed that she was not fighting, but was about to attend a tea party or a dance banquet. Selestina walked up like this, and she glanced at the soldiers around her who were completely bound by her thorn whip and raised her head proudly.
"Sincere, lowly, ugly humans, whoever allows you to dare to talk to me like this, and even dare to touch me with a bold and bold attitude is simply a terrible person! Just a mere pariah, who dares to do such a rude act!!!" Selestina looked coldly at the soldiers struggling in front of her, with the red light in her eyes, and with her speech, the girl shook her left hand down. Soon, another long thorn whip was thrown out from it, whipping heavily on one of the soldiers. The severe pain made the soldier's body twitch suddenly. He grew his mouth and could only vaguely hear the sound of breathing. Selestina did not care about the other party's reaction at all. On the contrary, she raised her eyebrows and then hummed.
Accompanied by the girl's cold snorkeling, the unlucky soldier's body trembled more and more intensely. Then there was only a slight sound, and the sharp black thorns broke out from the other party's chest! The bright red heart was torn to pieces by the sharp and sharp barbs. Even so, it was still beating slowly instinctively, but it was even more terrifying when it came into view.
"The Lower Untouchable!"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Selestina cursed viciously. Then she waved her hand and saw that the long whip of thorns suddenly surrounded her as the girl's movements. With a "puff" sound, the young soldier's heart was completely crushed and blocked. Then the long whip was swung, and the bloody corpse flew out like a tattered doll and fell to the ground.
"And you, stupid lower creatures..."
Selestina's bright red eyes looked at the soldiers who were still bound by the thorny whip. A hint of pride and pleasure in her face clearly flashed.
"Scream your pain and satisfy your entertainment. This is your duty...slaves."
