Luoying Mountain is located in a corner of the Oriental Mountain Land. It was originally a quiet place, but now it has completely become another image.

When Rod and others came to the foot of Luoying Mountain, the beautiful scenery they had seen before was gone, replaced by burning wars, smoke and bones. Looking up, you can see that the buildings originally built on the mountain on the distant mountain had already turned into dark ruins. The undead creatures had completely changed everything here. They were building a new base to make themselves an additional bridgehead to attack Dongfangshanyuan. Seeing this scene in front of him, Souther's face turned gloomy. He lowered his head, unable to bear to watch the damn undead creatures ruining his homeland, but he could not do anything...

Rhodes was not as sentimental as Souths. On the contrary, he carefully observed the Luoying Mountain in front of him, and then frowned. To be honest, it was indeed quite difficult to attack here. The base of the warfare corps was built on the relatively flat side of Luoying Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The army was trapped for ten days and half a month, and it might not be able to capture this place. But it was "idle" after all, and it would be another matter if it was replaced by undead creatures, which was unreasonable... If there was any advantage, it was that Luoying Mountain and Dongfangshanyuan were still relatively smooth. After all, as a connection channel at the rear, it would be inconvenient for transportation or transportation. This may be the only advantage that Dongfangshanyuan's joint army could have.

However, Rhode himself did not intend to participate. He did not have this plan to come to Dongfangshanyuan this time, otherwise it would be impossible to summon a bunch of water element fire element creatures like in Winter Castle. Of course, after the Star Hall, Rhode could really lead a group of troops to run around.

Thinking of this, Rhodes withdrew his gaze. Then he looked forward and saw that a dense tent formed a considerable military camp not far from the hillside in front of them. Various flags were floating on it. Seeing these flags, Rhodes couldn't help but shrugging. In fact, this was also a symbol of Dongfangshanyuan.

Dongfangshanyuan is completely different from the outside world in many places. One of them is their power organizational structure. Generally speaking, in other places on the Light Continent, except for local thieves like the Thieves Association in various places, most organizations appear in the form of branch associations. Just like formal institutions such as the Mercenary Association, the Mage Association, and the Alchemist Association. Or behind-the-scenes organizations such as the Masks and the Dark Brotherhood. However, Dongfangshanyuan's power composition is completely different from them, in Dongfangshanyuan

In the past, except for the Twelve Presbyterian Church, the largest ruling body of the Oriental Mountain Yuan, the rest of the forces are basically separate and scattered. Just like a war corps, they occupy a mountain, like a mountain king. Although they are obeying the leadership of the Twelve Presbyterian Church, they are actually basically the ones who make their own decisions. With their organizational forces as the center, they form gathering places one by one. Then these forces will become the actual leaders of the gathering places, and those living in the gathering places will also serve this force.

To put it bluntly, the various forces in Dongfangshanyuan are somewhat similar to the major sects in martial arts novels. Everyone occupy the Wudang Shaolin, but they are just running on their own territory. You won’t see Shaolin building a branch in Emei Bubble Nun or something... But the reason for this situation is because of the geographical environment of Dongfangshanyuan itself. Dongfangshanyuan is basically a rolling mountain range, with difficult roads and difficult to walk, and the circulation of manpower is

It's even more difficult. Although there are floating ships, that kind of thing cannot cover the entire Dongfangshanyuan, and the other hand, ordinary people cannot sit up. So under the restrictions of the terrain, even if there are factions who want to develop and strengthen their organizational strength, there are not enough people to cross mountains and ridges to do such things. Not to mention that Dongfangshanyuan is always under the threat of undead creatures, it is very difficult for everyone to deal with external threats. Do you actually want to rebel at this time?

Even if others don’t speak, the Presbyterian Church is not a good meal.

With such a background, it is not difficult to understand why so many forces have come here to respond to the call of the Presbyterian Church. Usually they do not have enough time and energy, and they cannot expand their territory. Now, since the Presbyterian Church has already stated who can drive away the undead creatures entrenched on Luoying Mountain, then they will leave it to them to manage. Such a good opportunity is naturally in vain. From the colors of the tents and the patterns of the flags in the camp, it can be seen that most of the people come here are organizations with strong and large numbers of people like war corps. Of course, there are also some small groups that don’t seem to have a lot of people surround those big forces like stars. I don’t know whether they plan to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with those large forces or plan to take advantage of the situation to see if they can emerge. In short, it looks lively.

When Rod and others arrived at the camp, the joint army's attack on Luoying Mountain had come to an end. For a moment, many injured people were lifted from above. The injured moaned from time to time from the entire camp. Seeing the scene in front of him, Lijie showed a little unbearableness. However, Soth had a complicated expression. Although these people were here to help them eliminate the undead creatures and help the war corps avenge. But when he thought that these people came for the war corps territory, he was particularly entangled...

Shortly after everyone entered the camp, someone came quickly, but they were obviously not so polite to come on stage for Rhodes’ sake.

"Master Jia Ling."

The man in the lead bowed respectfully to Jia Ling, but when facing his bow, Jia Ling was unmoved at all. The girl just quietly hugged her harp, stood there looking at the other person, and then frowned slightly.

"You've launched an attack?"

"Yes, sir."

Hearing Jia Ling's inquiry, the man showed a somewhat awkward expression on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and answered. When he heard his answer, although Jia Ling said nothing, everyone around him could feel the aura around the girl's side suddenly dropping. The temperature, which was not cold under the winter sun, seemed to drop by 80 degrees in an instant...

"Who issued the order?"

"It's me, Jia Ling."

Just as Jia Ling asked coldly, another man came over. He was wearing light leather armor and two long swords hanging around his waist. He looked about thirty years old, and was in his prime. In fact, the man's performance was indeed full of confidence. He walked over with big strides and stretched out his hand to wave it. Soon, the subordinate who had been speechless before, who had been told by Jia Ling immediately retreated like a general amnesty. Seeing the scene in front of him, although Jia Ling's expression did not change, the expression that appeared in her eyes could make Rhode see that the young lady was very unhappy.

"If I remember correctly, the elders gave me the command of this battle, didn't they?"

"Of course I know, Jia Ling."

Hearing Jia Ling's questioning in dissatisfaction, the man smiled slightly - but his smile seemed to comfort the ignorant and disobedient little sister.

"However, as the commander of the front line, I sometimes need to test the enemy's strength to a certain extent. After all, the undead creatures are very strange now. We need to be prepared for the enemy's strength in advance. This kind of thing needs to be fought for every second, Jia Ling. I don't know how you are doing outside, but this is Dongfang Shanyuan. We have our own way."

“…………………………………………Is this the only excuse you want to find?”

Although the others hadn't felt it yet, Rhode had already keenly sensed the strong murderous intent contained in Jia Ling. He had no doubt that as long as the idiot in front of him dared to say more nonsense, then this poor man would definitely have the rhythm of his body and head. Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but take two steps forward and block Christie behind him, no matter what. This bloody scene was not something she should have watched.

"This one is..."

Rhode's actions also attracted the attention of the man. He turned his head curiously and looked behind Jia Ling. Jia Ling glanced at Rhode. When he saw him blocking Christie behind him, a complex light flashed in the girl's dark and deep eyes, but Jia Ling was still very calm on the surface. She looked at Rhode lightly, and then spoke up.

"This is the Lord of Glenbel, Mr. Rhodes."

"oh………………?"

Hearing Jia Ling's introduction, the man in front of him was obviously quite surprised. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Rhode in surprise, but soon, a passionate smile appeared on his face. Then the man walked forward and bowed respectfully to Rhode.

"Hello, dear Lord, I am Xiao. I really didn't expect to see you here, which really surprised me. You played a great role in our holy girl before, and I have never seen those undead creatures look so embarrassed..."

This man named Xiao is not as restrained as most people in the Oriental Mountain people. On the contrary, he showed quite enthusiastic and familiarity. Moreover, this man was very good at speaking. Not only did he exclaim Rhode, he also expressed his respect to Lijie, Anne and others without saying a word, asking their names one by one, and then flattered them. "The ladies are so beautiful, and they are as beautiful as flowers. Even in the Oriental Mountain people, there is no such a beautiful woman who is so charming in the Oriental Mountain people..." Lijie felt a little embarrassed when she heard it. Instead, Anne accepted it proudly, without any shyness. After turning a circle, Xiao got to the point.

“…………………………I wonder what you are doing when you come to Dongfangshanyuan?”

"It's just a little private matter."

Faced with the man's enthusiasm, Rhode did not hesitate at all and quickly gave the answer. Hearing his obvious perfunctory behavior, Xiao's face, which was originally smiling enthusiastically, couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and nodded.

"So that's the case. Then, if you need help, you can just raise it. As long as we can do it, we will definitely work hard."

Speaking of this, Xiao then looked at Jia Ling next to him.

"Jia Ling, we are about to hold a combat meeting to deal with the next situation. In the past few days when you are away, many people have joined our team. I think this needs to be made some adjustments."

"Okay, I get it."

After listening to Xiao’s words, Jia Ling nodded slightly, and then she looked at Rhode.

"Then, Mr. Rod, please go to my residence with Bai Ye for a while, after which I will deal with your problems."

After saying this, Jia Ling turned around and left. Rod and others led him to a small manor located in the corner of the uphill slope of the camp. This camp was originally a village at the foot of the mountain. Although it has been expanded a lot, various facilities are still complete. After sending Rod and others into the manor, Bai Ye said goodbye and left, and handed Rod and others to the maids in the manor. Although this is a bit impolite, this is obviously a good thing for Rod, because he still has many problems to be figured out, and now, this is a good opportunity.

"About Lord Jia Ling?"

When he heard Rhode's inquiry, Souther seemed very surprised. Rhode nodded slightly. He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Souther.

"Yes, I feel that Miss Jialing is not very popular in Dongfangshanyuan...? What's going on? I think you should have heard something."

When they met with the man named Xiao before, Rhode felt a little strange. Logically speaking, although Jia Ling was not a lord, her identity and strength were enough to be on par with the twelve elders in Dongfangshanyuan. The man named Xiao was only at the peak of the master. What qualifications are there to be so arrogant in front of Jia Ling? It would be wrong to say that they grew up together and had no guesses. Jia Ling's murderous intent was not casually released. In fact, she was very calm and restrained. Only Rhode, who was also in the legendary realm, keenly noticed Jia Ling's changes, which shows that she really wanted to kill people, not scare someone. But that guy was so fearless?

Not only that, Rod also found that Jia Ling's situation in Dongfang Shanyuan seemed a bit embarrassing. It can be seen from her current manor. Logically speaking, as the commander of the first army, Jia Ling should have been favored by everyone in the center of the camp, but it was not like now. She was called during meetings. She was in such a remote place on weekdays, and if there was any emergency in the battlefield, she would not be able to find anyone...

Rhodes is also a player, and the burning gossip fire has never subsided. Not to mention Jia Ling, a person who is mysterious in the game and has been controversial and investigated by players, now he has the opportunity to develop his old background, so he will naturally not miss such a good opportunity. As the deputy leader of the war corps, South is also a local snake, and he has lived much longer than Jia Ling. Rhodes believes that he will know something from him.

"This... I've heard some rumors."

When he heard Rhode's inquiry, Soth showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. As Rhode thought, Soth certainly knew something about Ga Ling, but it was hard for everyone to say this. But now, since his lord asked, he naturally had no way to hide it.

"Miss Jialing has been talented since childhood. She was once the heir to the Fengxiang family, one of the twelve elders. When Miss Jialing was still very young, she showed her potential as much as her father and her piano skills as much as her mother. At that time, everyone thought that Miss Jialing would definitely enter the Presbyterian Church in the future, and might even become the leader of it..."

"once?"

Rhodes keenly captured the words in Souths's words. When he heard Rhodes' inquiry, Souths nodded.

"Yes, there was a problem with Miss Jialing's family later-I don't know the specific situation very well, but the rumors seemed to be because the Fengxiang family was too powerful at that time, and even had a lot of reputation and support in the Presbyterian Church, which made them want to get out of Muen..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Rod immediately became interested. Dongfang Shanyuan was a mysterious place in the eyes of players. Many times, players could not find out the rumors inside them, but even so, Rod knew that Dongfang Shanyuan had always been a supporter of the royal party. Unexpectedly, they had the intention to break away from Moon's independence?

"This... I just heard of it. At that time, many people circulated that the Fengxiang family had this idea, but most people thought it was unlikely. But later, one day, the news suddenly came out of the Fengxiang family assassination of Grand Duke Litia. At that time, everyone was shocked, but... they of course failed. Then the Fengxiang family was basically completely eliminated. It was said that in the entire family, only Jia Ling, who was less than six years old at the time, survived, and was then taken out of Dongfangshanyuan by Grand Duke Litia. After that, the Presbyterian Church selected another person to replace the Fengxiang family. However... this matter was not very good after all, so no one mentioned it very much."

I see.

After listening to Soth's explanation, Rhode finally understood. He knew that the people here had always been proud of their loyalty to Mun. Now there was a traitor among them, and even assassinating the Grand Duke. Although it failed in the end, this was of course a heavy blow to the pride of Dongfang Shanyuan. As the only survivor of the unlucky and miserable family, Ga Ling naturally suffered the sins that her father should bear. Moreover, according to Soth's statement, Ga Ling was taken away by Lydia from Dongfang Shanyuan when she was very young, so for the people here, she was probably considered a "no-staff" like herself.

Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but sigh, but he just satisfied his gossip. He had nothing to say about Jia Ling's experience. Moreover, based on his understanding of Jia Ling, Rhode also knew that she did not need her own sympathy.

The combat meeting was held until dusk and it ended completely. After returning to his manor, Ga Ling brought a message to Rhodes and others.
