Finally, under the leadership of Agave, everyone came to the Rhodes' study on the top floor of the fortress. The dark and thick solid wood door looked like a feeling of majesty and oppression. Looking at the door in front of him, Thor couldn't help swallowing. Behind him, several half-demons also seemed extremely uneasy. In any case, the existence of an elves, angels and devils was enough to make people feel scared and uneasy, but Agave obviously did not intend to understand the mood of these guests who came from afar. The sea elf didn't even look at the people behind him, and walked forward, reached out to knock on the door gently, and then spoke.

"Master, they're here."

"Come in."

A low voice came from the door, and after hearing this voice, Agave opened the door, then she turned sideways and made an invitation gesture to the half-demonic people around her.

They have no way out.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Thor took a deep breath, then he sorted out his clothes. Then Thor raised his head and walked into the room with big strides. Behind him, the half-demons followed closely and walked in. Soon, they saw the young man sitting in the middle of the luxuriously decorated study.

Before coming to the Land of Atonement, the half-demons had also learned about this lord in order to be prepared. Apart from the half-true and half-false rumors on him, the most common people heard were the beauty surrounding him and the beautiful face of the lord himself. Of course, they also knew that they should never mention this in front of Rhodes.

Only after seeing Rhode with his own eyes did they realize that the rumors were not even enough to describe one-tenth of the Lord. Although the half-demons were mentally prepared before coming here. They had also imagined Rhode's appearance, many people still felt a sudden jump after seeing the man sitting behind the desk with their own eyes. If it weren't for Rhode's cold expression and the male aristocratic uniform he was wearing, the half-demons would probably have mistaken him for a young and beautiful woman.

"Hello, everyone."

Seeing Thor and others walking into the room, Rhode nodded to them. But he did not stand up, but sat on a chair, squinted his eyes, and looked at the semi-demons with interest. It could be seen that they were very restrained. In this luxurious room, these semi-demons seemed a little helpless. Some people secretly looked at the chair next to them and wanted to sit down, while others were just standing nervously. Although it was their first time to meet Rhode. But when they saw these semi-demons, Rhode was sure that he had not found the wrong person. They were still the same as they remembered, but at that time, as players

He fought side by side with these NPCs. But now, he became their commander. Thinking of this, Rhodes felt that fate was really wonderful. He looked at Thor carefully and looked at the semi-demon leader. In Rhodes' memory, Thor is always a calm and steady person, and is well received by players. There are even some boring female players who rank a top 10 "If you want to marry, marry such a good man" on the forum. Thor is on the list. But now he looks very nervous and restrained, and looking at Rhodes and does not dare to speak, which makes Rhodes feel a little fresh and interesting.

"Please sit down, don't be polite."

After admiring the embarrassing expressions of the half-demons, Rhode reached out and made a gesture. With his permission, these half-demons carefully sat down on the chair next to them. But it seemed that they were not sitting steadily, as if they were afraid that something would stain the expensive and luxurious chairs and were scolded and scolded. However, Rhode obviously didn't care about these. He just nodded to everyone, said hello, and then spoke to himself.

"As the Lord of Glenbel, I welcome you all. I think you must have made a choice after careful consideration. I don't want to say too much here, but what I want to say is that you will definitely not regret your choice."

"Dear Lord."

It was not until this time that Thor stood up. He saluted Rod respectfully before speaking.

"It's a great honor to be able to get your invitation...but I have a few questions to ask the Lord, and I hope the Lord will not blame him."

“What’s the problem?”

Hearing Thor's words, Rhode's expression on the surface did not change at all, but deep down he nodded with Thor in satisfaction. Thor was still as steady as he was a little nervous when he first entered the study, but now this semi-demonic has calmed down and he has not changed at all in the game.

"That's right, Lord Lord, although you have said it in the letter, we still don't know very well what we are going to do under your hands? You should know that we are semi-demons, and you recruit us not just to recruit us to join your private soldiers. And... Where did you know about our Demon Hunting Team? I'm sure that we had never met before......"

Of course we have seen it, but it is not in this world.

When Rhode heard Thor's inquiry, he smiled in his heart, but on the surface he naturally would not answer like this. Faced with Thor's inquiry, Rhode just crossed his hands, leaned on the back of the chair, stared at the man in front of him, then nodded, and then spoke.

"You asked well, Mr. Thor, the reason I invited you is not just that I hope you can become my subordinates, because I need to use the power of you as semi-demons, so I choose you. I know that you, as semi-demons, have been treated a lot of unfriendly and unequal because of the power you have, but now, I am just needing your strength to fight. Because in the future, we will face many dangerous battles, so I need subordinates who can trust and have strong strength. You are just meeting my requirements. As for how I know your existence......"

Speaking here, Rhode spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"This is just a coincidence. I just accidentally heard a travel merchant mention that there was a group of semi-demons who specialize in helping humans on the Blackfin Coast. After getting this news, I began to investigate you. In the end, I think you are trustworthy, so I will write a letter to invite you."

“………………………………………”

Hearing Rhode's answer, Thor nodded and did not speak immediately. Rhode's statement was similar to what he imagined, but he did not expect that this young noble lord would be so direct. Originally, Thor thought that the nobles were all a group of people who liked to talk around the bush and were not very straightforward. However, Rhode's performance was beyond Thor's expectations. It seemed that there was some reason why it was rumored to call this lord "mercenary lord". At least when talking to him, except for the other party's identity, he did not mention it. Thor did think he was talking to a mercenary leader, simple and direct, and putting interests and exchanges on the table, which was obviously much better than the aristocrats' way of talking mixed with hints and various twists and turns.

And at this moment, he heard Rhode's voice again.

"Of course, I will not force you. I will first say ugly things ahead. If you become my subordinates, you will face unprecedented dangers. I must explain this in advance. I need you to fight with me, which means you will face several times or even dozens of times more enemies. Moreover, the threat of death is everywhere. Once there is a mistake, I will most likely give up and sacrifice some of you to ensure victory and success in the battle. I hope you can be mentally prepared in return, just as I wrote in my letter

As mentioned, you can live, live, and have a legal identity in the land of sin. I think you should have seen along the way that this city is not very repulsive to existences like you, and for similar reasons, most of my soldiers will not have any special opinions about you. But I still need to explain in advance that if you expect to change your impression in the hearts of others, you still need to make changes yourself. All I can do is give you a chance, and I hope you don’t let me down.”

"Of course I understand, thank you for your tips, Lord Lord."

Although Rhode's words sounded a bit irresponsible, Thor bowed deeply to Rhode. As a semi-demon, he knew better than anyone else how important what Rhode said before. As the saying goes, the so-called hateful person must be pitiful, but no matter how pitiful and hateful, it is still hateful, and no one can whitewash it. This is precisely because of this reason. The reason why half-demons have bad reputations in people's minds is that their unique appearance is just one aspect. Elfs, dwarves, and even half-beasts can barely accept it, but when they come to half-demons, they refuse. This is also inseparable from the behavior of half-demons. Most of them are the products of tragedy, and life born between the devil and humans has almost no future. In this future without a glimmer of hope and

Under the heavy pressure of others' fear of the devil, many half-demons gave up their dignity. They flowed with their dirty bloodlines, and sold their bodies and souls to bring pain and hatred to this world and all life in this world. On the Dragon Soul Continent, there are semi-demons among the believers of the devil. It is precisely because of this that semi-demons are so hostile to people. This is an unsolvable vicious cycle. The more people hate semi-demons, the more they are willing to fall, and in turn hurt humans, and then be disgusted again. For ordinary people, semi-demons are a symbol of evil and danger. It can even be said that in this, those who desire like Thor change their own destiny and try to fight against are minorities, which can almost be said to be as rare as precious giant pandas.

That's why Rhodes did not try to appease them, but said incisively that if they wanted to change the view of others about themselves, they had to work hard to achieve results. This is what Thor hoped to hear. If Rhodes said that everyone welcomed them and they did not need to worry about their lives here, then Thor would instead suspect that Rhodes was cheating on them and telling lies. But now it seems that this lord has indeed thoughtful about their identity. The truth is generally not very nice, but it is also difficult to say it out. Moreover, for them, even just an opportunity to change the impression of others, it is almost impossible to have.

"I understand what you mean, Lord Lord."

Thinking of this, Thor made up his mind and turned his head first. He glanced at his companions behind him, then turned around and saluted Rod solemnly.

"To be honest, before we came here, we still had some doubts about your words, Lord Lord, but now, I have decided that our Demon Hunting Team will accept your invitation and become your subordinates and fight for you. No matter how dangerous the battle is, as long as you give your order, even in the depths of hell, we will not refuse."

"Don't say so absolutely, at least you don't have to go to hell now."

Facing Thor's answer, Rhode nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke. When he heard his answer, Thor showed a somewhat awkward expression. At this moment, Rhode finally stood up.

"So. As the Lord of Glenbel, I officially welcome you.........I believe that you will soon find that you have made a very right choice."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Rhodes said this, although there was no expression on his face, Thor still felt a smile appearing in the young lord's eyes.

With the arrival of the Demon Hunting Team, the puzzles in Rhode's hands have almost been completely put together, and the only gap is the war corps. However, Rhode does not intend to wait for the war corps to gather before training. Therefore, after the Demon Hunting Team arrived, he finally officially showed his tactics to everyone.

In Rhode's tactics, the elite group is the most important role, and the commander of this team is naturally Rhode. In addition, Lando's Rangers and Joey's Rogues are also joined. Lando's Rangers will be responsible for conducting comprehensive reconnaissance of the target and rear support before the attack. Joey's Rogues is responsible for infiltration, opening up the path, and assassinating the post to win time for the entry of the main force.

When everything goes well, the mercenaries led by Mafa and the semi-demons under Thor will rush in, using their powerful attack power and the unique natural range spells of semi-demons to attack and suppress the interior. Lijie's spiritual master team will follow them and be responsible for the protection and healing work. Of course, Anne also followed Lijie as always, protecting the spirit masters from threats and harm. Rhode will go to the location of the internal commander of the target alone in order to control or kill the opponent in the shortest time to control the entire target location. But it is not the end, but just the beginning. After mastering the target, Rhode asks everyone to immediately set up a defense line to welcome the counterattack of the main enemy troops that may appear.

The existence of the Mystery Ball is not complicated in tactical training. The Phantom Space can copy everything the holder imagines. It is precisely because of this that in the Phantom Space, Rhodes can choose one of the forts he has attacked before to practice repeatedly in order to make everyone familiar with this fighting method.

Although everyone thought it was not an easy thing when they heard Rhodes talk about it, they still found that it was too difficult for them to support them in person. In order to ensure that everyone can experience the effect and power of this tactic, Rhodes trained them completely with the players' requirements, but this high-intensity training is an indescribable pain to others. Even the semi-demons who have always been hard-working have complained about Rhodes' training.

Rhodes’s request is not complicated, or even very simple, in short, just one word is fast.

No matter how complex the fortress is, they must eliminate the sentry, open the pathway, and suppress the resisters in the shortest time. Then they must set up traps before the main force returns to defense, recover their physical strength, and prepare for further combat preparations. This means that before this, they cannot even have too many casualties.

This is also a very painful thing for everyone. During the training of Phantom Space, although they took the fortress stronghold several times under the leadership of Rhodes, they "lost heavy losses" and did not have enough troops to fight against the main force returning to defense, and were eventually completely defeated. Or, although they preserved their strength and eliminated the rebels in the fortress. However, they still did not delay the main force returning to defense to attack forward and backward, but were beaten by the opponent and completely collapsed. Or they did not suppress the fortress in the shortest time in order to preserve their strength and strength. As a result, the remaining soldiers had not been wiped out, but the enemy rushed back. The sneak attack did not make a sneak attack, but was made by the opponent.

However, training is not enough. Phantom space can only be used for simulation, but it cannot replace reality. In order to allow your subordinates to experience the power of this tactic in person, it is necessary to get training in actual combat to make it meaningful.

This time, Rhodes turned his attention to the ice fields of the northern mountains.

It was early winter, and it was also the day for the orc tribes to migrate.

For Rhodes, it's time to get experience.
