Chapter 54: Rise to Fame (2)
Thaneba respectfully exited the cabin.
Rhodes brought the monkey again, and he held his chin to look directly at the monkey and asked, "I want to know everything that happened between Wessel's skeleton and the Iron Sword!" ”
The monkey nodded slightly, and said: "This incident also happened not long ago, it was discovered that some strange changes had taken place in that wetland, and a thick fog appeared around it, just like the legendary death fog at sea, in the mist, a skeleton flag loomed in the mist......"
Rod frowned slightly.
The monkey's information is too vague, and an unknown fog shrouds the wetlands, and this strange situation must have something to do with Wisser, perhaps that's why he dared to provoke the Iron Sword Regiment.
"Your Excellency?"
Looking at Rod's pensive appearance, the monkey asked tentatively in a whisper.
"Go on." Rod said lightly.
"Yes...... What happened later was that a band of warriors appeared in the mist, and they slaughtered most of the people peeping around, and only a few lucky ones survived with the message. ”
"What message?"
"Skeletons! The one in the wetlands came out and said he was a skeleton group! Coming for revenge! The monkey said in a somewhat solemn tone.
"Skeleton Regiment......" Rhodes muttered repeatedly.
…………
Little by little, the monkey spoke, and Rhodes asked some questions from time to time.
Long.
When it was getting dark, the monkey left the hut.
"Interesting!"
When everyone had left the cabin, Rhodes sat down in his chair and muttered as he looked through the window at the starry sky.
This incident seems to be a conflict between mercenary groups.
But Rod, who had a forward-looking vision, still grasped some key information.
Xiliu City actually sent people to settle in the pioneer territory in the west.
Although there is only one corps of troops.
It seems that it is to ensure the stability and tranquility of this region, but Rhodes has heard the name of that legion, the Shadow Blade Legion!
This is a very special legion!
According to the trajectory of history, this legion has been formed for less than ten years, and it has only been renamed Shadow Blade in recent years.
He didn't remember its old name, Rod, but he remembered the name Shadowblade.
It was a sharp knife in Thales' hand.
The first army to break through the Emerald City, the first army to crush the remnants of Varesian head-on, the most stubborn fighting legion under the Empire's offensive......
In its heyday, the legion had three legendary captains, and its marshal reached the realm of demigods, and later, when the disaster came, the Shadow Blade Legion was responsible for the suppression of the plague on the Loran Line.
The Shadow Blade may be obscure now.
But Rhodes knew that there were traces of the Shadow Society's activities behind this legion, and many of the army scouts in it were cultivated by the Shadow Society's killers, and the army's tactics were also erratic and fast.
In many large-scale battles, this army is like a shadow, often suddenly disappearing from the battlefield, and then appearing behind the enemy's back at the most critical period, giving the enemy the most fatal blow.
"Shadowblade has been transferred...... Does that mean war is near......" Rhodes' eyes flickered.
This army was transferred here in such a low-key manner, and in the eyes of others, this army with a very low sense of existence was estimated to be just a test of Xiliu City, but in the eyes of Rhodes, this was an obvious signal.
Battle of the Emerald Collar.
This was an extremely important battle for Rhodes, with the help of which he would officially gain the right to open up the Ponse region.
In fact.
Many people think that in this world where fantasy and extraordinary powers frequently appear, Rhodes does not need to develop his strength so deliberately, he only needs to be strong in his own strength, and all enemies will become ashes.
But the legendary power of the Ash world has always been very rare.
Even in the Shadow Domain, where the average combat power is several levels higher than that of the ground, the legendary power is also the highest combat power of a dungeon.
The reason for this.
It is precisely because the promotion of the legendary realm is not simply dependent on talent.
There was once a legendary formula that intuitively told everyone what a legend needs!
Acquired hard work + innate talent + indispensable luck = legend!
Thereinto.
Acquired efforts include wealth, resources, and one's own will and exercise.
In the East, there has always been a saying of "land law wealth", and the "land" in it refers to a good land, that is, the resources of the cave. Not to mention "wealth", it is a lot of wealth. As for the "law" and "couple", one is to have a clear path to promotion, and the other is to have an excellent partner.
All of this shows the importance of these things.
Rhodes has absolute confidence in himself, and his will and skill to impact the legend are completely sufficient, but this method requires a strong foundation accumulation, even if Rhodes has the killing experience of this rapid improvement path.
Each level he rises, he requires more and more experience to kill, and the enemies he kills have less and less experience.
If experience alone supports him to advance to the Legend, it will undoubtedly take a long time.
Rod can't afford it!
And in the Ash world for thousands of years, countless people have gone forward and succeeded, and finally found a lot of quick ways to advance to the legend.
The most orthodox of these is the "Awakening Ritual".
Generally speaking, this kind of awakening ritual is usually guided by a powerful legendary mentor, who stimulates the power in the awakened person's body through special methods, and then breaks through the legendary realm in a certain aspect.
This ritual is the most robust and the most mature way to advance in the Ash world.
Of course, the premise is that the Awakened person's own strength must also be strong.
However, many quasi-legendary powerhouses lack self-confidence due to various reasons, and they usually collect a large amount of resources to increase their success rate by consuming that kind of awakened treasure.
Each of these treasures is sky-high.
It would be a long process for Rhodes to collect these awakening items alone, so he had to form his own forces, and sometimes his individual power was still very weak in front of the group.
For example, there are many stories of dragon slayers in the world of Ash.
These gifted legendary creatures can easily kill legends when facing thousands of armies, and some of the epic weapons crafted by mortals can easily kill them.
It is worth mentioning that Dragon Blood and Dragon Crystal are one of the awakening items required by some of the Lva Warriors who walk the Physique Stream.
In the heart of Rod.
Whether it's to collect resources or protect the people he cares about, these are probably just one of the reasons why he has formed a force.
To know.
Many of the gods who look down on the ups and downs of the world are ascended to the throne of gods by mortal bodies, and this kind of ascending gods, they often have a group of fanatical followers before ascending to the gods, and this group of people will also be the most devout believers after the gods.
At this point.
Rhodes probably saw farther than anyone else.
