Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bandit Scouting Team

Rod accepted Alyssa's trust calmly, and it should be said that Alyssa didn't take this group of people to heart at all, because this group of people was mercenaries.

When accepting the task, he is a bodyguard, and when he does not have a task, he becomes a robber, this is the principle of many mercenaries, because of the existence of a magic contract, most of the time a good balance can be achieved, but just like a black sheep, there will always be exceptions among the mercenaries, and there are mercenaries who pretend to accept the task and then take the opportunity to loot the employer.

After a few days of contact and preliminary information, Alyssa knew that the big man was this kind of mercenary, and this kind of mercenary had several characteristics, that is, the strength was not strong, he could not accept large-scale tasks, and the mercenary group he belonged to did not have too many resources.

Without the ability to compete with large mercenary groups for tasks with magical contracts, they can only accept other tasks that are not mandatory, and the remuneration for these tasks is often very low, unable to maintain the expenses of the mercenary group, and over time, they become bandits and robbers, ostensibly accepting tasks, but in fact colluding with their companions, always ready to report the employer's information, and ready to become a raider at any time.

This big man is probably such a person, who gains the trust of his employer as a working fighter, and then colludes with his peers, ready to deal a fatal blow to his employer when he is weak.

And such a mercenary group, the strength will never be too high, otherwise they will not risk damaging the reputation of the mercenary group, only if they don't care, they can give it up without care.

This is the main reason why Alyssa completely handed over the matter to Rod, if it weren't for that, the two of them, who had only met a few times and had not yet established a deep relationship of trust, would not have given this matter to Rod.

In the next few days, Dahan's behavior was also confirmed, and sure enough, it was the person in charge of investigating the employer in the mercenary group, and after finding out that the butler did not continue to monitor them, Dahan and the other people reunited, and the matter discussed was also related to Rod himself, and they knew that Rod was an official soldier, and they had been hesitating to make a move.

They were worried that Rhodes would be too powerful to make their operation go for nothing, especially since Rhodes also met the rich lady of his employer, wearing enchanted full-body armor and holding a kingdom officer's standard sword, it was hard to guarantee that he was not a rich man who came out to experience the life of an adventurer, and if he brought something ...... treasure that was enough to turn the tables.

The indecisive appearance of these people made Rhodes gradually relax, and this group of people looked like middle-aged people who had been erased by life, hesitating and looking ahead, lacking decisiveness.

As they got farther away from the city, the more uneasy they became, and they didn't want to really leave the city, because they also knew that there were bandits outside now.

This proves that this group of mercenaries is weak, and also lets Rhodes know that they should do it before leaving the mountain city, otherwise they will definitely take the opportunity to abscond.

Rod showed Elisa the photo crystal that recorded the information, at this time Elisa was not as quiet and elegant as usual, in Rod's eyes, the pretty face covered with frost overflowed with a killing atmosphere, and only those who have killed will have a killing atmosphere.

"Hmph, if you want to escape, since you dare to make a plan to loot the nobles, then you must have the consciousness of bearing the consequences, and I will definitely not let them leave."

Rod smiled, he was indeed a powerful professional, a genius who was stronger than many adult professionals, and under his quiet and elegant appearance was his determination to kill, which was in line with Rod's judgment, and Alyssa's decisiveness was also in line with Rod's wishes.

"Of course, if they don't plan to go according to the plan, I would be happy to continue with the plan in their place."

These energies, Rod did not intend to let go from the beginning, even if Alyssa wanted to kill those people directly, Rhodes would definitely follow the vine to clear out the other party's mercenary group, and use the camouflage ability of illusion.

"Then it's going to be a trouble for Rhodes, it looks like I'm going to have to study the magic control runes as well."

It wasn't until a few days later, when he was about to get out of the boundary of Bangshan City, that Dahan finally made a decision and began to carefully send his men out to contact his companions, because Alyssa inadvertently dropped a package containing at least 50 gold coins.

Tom naturally followed the liaison throughout the whole process, and to Rhode's surprise, the connector actually made Tom feel like he couldn't get close, similar to the copycat monitoring the spellcaster, but it was a completely different feeling from the other party, and this person's strength was not strong.

Tom vaguely heard that there was a professional boy in the convoy wearing enchanted full-body armor, and the big sword he was carrying was obviously a kingdom officer-style big sword, and at the same time handed out Rod's portrait, and narrated the big man's plan, the two leaders of the mercenary group took the lead to quickly solve Rod, and then slowly solved the pair of eldest lady master and servant.

Judging from the conversation, Dahan obviously didn't see the strength of Alyssa and the housekeeper.

This is not surprising, the big man from Yeluzi has not been systematically studied, and it is not surprising that his perception ability is relatively poor. Alyssa and the butler are nobles, and due to social needs, it is normal to practice secret methods to hide strength and body muscles.

Then, Rhodes was given the exact time of the enemy's attack, which was two days later, in the middle of the night when he was scheduled to leave the boundary of the mountain city.

"Although the intelligence is to attack in two days, we must be on guard from now on, at least to the extent that we do not leave our bodies, and it is obviously not the first time that the enemy has done this kind of thing, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no code that we do not understand."

Alyssa said that she understood, just like Rod, she had also learned the knowledge of codes at the Royal College of Higher Education, and judging from the proficiency of this group of mercenaries, it was difficult to guarantee that there were no codes prepared, for example, the most common password was to deliberately say the wrong plan time, and then the companion used the password to crack the code to obtain the real time.

Sure enough, just as Rod guessed, Tom sounded the alarm the night beforehand, but the speed of this group of mercenaries was indeed fast enough, and the leader who Tom cared about and could spot her turned into a phantom, killing the three people who were keeping vigil in an instant, and the warrior man would also kill the other three who were unsuspecting.

In a matter of seconds, the entire convoy was left with Rhodes and Alyssa, the other nine people, six of whom were killed, and the other three were all mercenary robbers who had infiltrated the procession.

With a loud bang, the warrior with a big sword in both hands broke through the door, the delicate carriage was chopped into pieces and splashed everywhere, and the big sword with silver flashes in both hands, and the half-moon slash flew towards Rhodes at great speed.

Rod swung his great sword and slashed out the same half-moon slash, and at this moment, a phantom rushed into the carriage at great speed, extremely fast, approaching Rod in an instant, and a dagger silently stabbed Rod into the neck.

Rod didn't seem to react, his right hand still raised the big sword, the figure holding the dagger had already shown a cruel smile, and the power in his hand was added, and with a bang, Rod cut off the big sword with an expressionless face on his face, and a human head rose to the sky, and his emaciated face still had disbelief.

"It turned out to be a wanderer known as a city thief, so it wasn't a surprise to be able to give Tom the feeling of being found, and besides, your dagger is too blunt." Rod touched the spot where the dagger had been stabbed with his right hand, and his face was expressionless.

"Ahh The big man who wanted to run let out a scream, and there was another click, and the scream stopped abruptly, and Tom, the size of a cheetah, appeared from the shadows, and Tom directly bit off the big man's spine.

His left hand instantly turned into a black-red giant claw, and as soon as he grasped the thin body and head of the enemy, he directly launched the devouring ability, and then grabbed the body of the big man.

The two gave Rod a total of 360 points of energy, and counting the original energy, Rod now has 420 points of energy.

At the same time, the mercenaries surrounding Alyssa's luxurious carriage heard screams and frightened escapes, and occasionally the clear humming of the girl.

"Tom, you go and help Alyssa, and those mercenaries outside are as you please."

"Meow!" Tom jumped out of the car excitedly.

Non-professionals can't provide much energy, Rhodes has discovered that the main source of demonic energy is actually human energy and soul, such as sword pressure and magic power, the human body itself can't provide much energy, at most it's only a few dozen points, unless there are a lot of them, it's not worth the risk of devouring the human body, because this may reduce Alyssa's favorability.

As Tom joined the battle, all the mercenaries who tried to escape were killed, Tom didn't care about Alyssa, and swallowed more than a dozen mercenaries on the spot, Alyssa was a little uncomfortable but didn't say anything, this is one of the benefits of the magic beast.

But just when Rod and Alyssa were cleaning the battlefield and preparing to rearrange the camp, the smoke and dust gradually rising in the distance and the sound of the galloping horses were far more powerful than the mercenary robbers.

"Alyssa, you and the butler enter the carriage and use the enhanced secret technique to protect yourself, I will deal with this gang of bandit reconnaissance team, I don't think these people will all be professionals."

Alyssa wanted to speak and stopped, exuding an aura of perseverance, Rod shook his head silently, picked up the long sword dropped by the mercenary, and slashed at his neck with a sword, clanging and clicking two times in a row, the long sword broke directly, leaving only a white mark on Rod's neck.

"I have the ability to strengthen my skin, I can ignore all ordinary hilts, and with the enchanted whole body armor, ordinary bandits can't hurt me."

Alyssa's eyes widened in amazement, she hadn't seen such a powerful body, but those people were old enough to be comparable to his father, far from younger than Rod, she thought she was already extremely good, but she didn't expect to meet such an excellent talent as Rod, sure enough, getting to know Lot was the right choice.

Alyssa was even more determined to have an in-depth relationship with Rod, and when she thought of this, her delicate face bloomed with a bright smile: "It's great to get to know Rod, it's really the right choice." ”

Looking at Alyssa who ran into the carriage, Rod couldn't help but be a little stunned, although he knew that this was most likely a deliberate appearance made by Elisa, but the hormones of this body made Rod feel good.

"I'm very happy to get to know Alyssa."

Of course Rhodes was happy, he hadn't forgotten the person Nice, not only killed the other party's guards, but also forced the sheriff who knew how to meet to death, and was imprisoned on the charge of colluding with bandits, and he was about to be beheaded soon, which made the other party lose a lot of face.

With the arrogance of Ness, he naturally won't let himself go, so it is an extremely correct choice to be able to make friends with Alyssa now, because as long as she has enough value, Alyssa will never see herself in danger, and she will never refuse a small favor that she can help.

And there is a more important reason, if he can, Rod doesn't want to involve Lisa in his own affairs, this is one of the conditions that he promised the original owner, he doesn't want to break his promise, he hopes that this can become his bottom line as a person, instead of remembering that he is now essentially a demon.

Of course, the main problem now is facing the gangsters, Rhodes looked at the attribute panel in the lower left corner of his vision, ready to use the energy he had gained.
