In a small wooden house.

Rod's index finger tapped lightly, and the whole person seemed to fall into deep thought, and the eyes of several other people in the room quickly communicated.

"That...... Your Excellency, the wilderness is not peaceful now, if you don't mind, we in Gus Town can hire you as an instructor in the territory," Noonan carefully observed the change in Rod's expression.

Seeing that Rod seemed to be still pondering, he gritted his teeth, glanced at Cliffman, and said, "In addition, if Your Excellency is willing to stay, we are willing to pay a sufficient amount of gold coins each, and within the territory, Your Excellency will enjoy the highest treatment!" ”

Hear the words.

Rod glanced up at the people in the room.

There was a hint of anticipation in Cliffman's eyes, while Old Jack looked a little reluctant with his expressionless eyes, nose and heart. The old priest, on the other hand, looked like an old god was there, and seemed to be unconcerned about other things in the territory.

He groaned for a moment.

Rod said slowly: "I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of settling down for the time being. ”

Hearing Rod say this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Cliffman's eyes.

"However, I think if there are many monsters in the vicinity, Westflow City will definitely issue a hunting mission, and I'm afraid I'll visit here a lot when the time comes," Rod continued with a smile.

Cliffman was shocked.

Although there was no reply that Rhodes was going to live here for a long time, the friendship of a high-ranking adventurer was a surefire deal for a calculating nobleman like him.

On the main seat, Cliffman raised his glass and said in a loud voice, "The friendship between the town of Jinggus and Your Excellency! ”

"To friendship!"

Everyone smiled and raised their glasses.

Of course, Rhodes won't be staying in Gustown.

Whether it is the upheaval that Ash will usher in in the future, or the sensitive identities of the younger sisters that Rod has brought with him, these do not allow Rhodes to stop at a certain place, not to mention, as a sword god, Rhodes is by no means the kind of person who lives in a corner.

More importantly.

Rhodes came to Weststream City with his own goals in mind.

He's going to form his own faction!

Assemble a faction.

For Ruder Finn, this is an important part of Ruder Finn's future planning.

He knew very well that over time, Ash's world would usher in great changes, and in this turbulent period, the first thing to change was Ash's rule power.

Outside the crystal wall system, the powerful chaotic plane called the Demon Realm was gradually approaching Ash.

Under the influence of the Demon Realm, as the Moon does with the tides, the rules of Ash's world will be in turmoil, when the gods will fall to the Kingdom of God and some ancient ruins will be restored.

All kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have appeared.

At that time, a single force will be particularly powerless in the face of the tide of this kind of world, especially in the later stage of turmoil, and even the abyss on both sides of Ash will be affected.

Demons roar, gods come to ......

What's worse is that when Ash's world is too busy to take care of itself, those terrible guys in the Demon Realm will deal Ash's deadliest blow.

At the beginning.

It was millions of players who went to the Otherworld, and the players and natives joined forces to prop up the last line of defense in the world of Ash, and now that the balance of player power has been lost, the gods and demons are afraid that they will be beaten and bleeding.

It was the realization of the terrible nature of the future that Rod had to lay out in advance.

Weststream City is a great place to grow.

First of all.

On the northeast side of Xiliu City, there is a feud Jade Collar of Xiliu City, and the Emerald Collar is a good place.

To the east of the Emerald City is the largest hilly area in the southwest coast region, the Grizzly Bear Hills.

Deeper in the Grizzly Hills, there are vast mountains, plains, and forests, and it's still borderlands.

Crossing the Emerald Collar is set at the Ponse Pass in the Grizzly Bear Hills.

On the other side of the Ponse Pass, across the Dorasso Heath, the majestic mountains stretch from north to southeast, occupying the entire northeastern part of the region, and also becoming a natural boundary with the southwest coast to the west.

Several parallel small mountain ranges descend like folds in the earth, and from the majestic snow-capped peaks to the low hills, the wind is no longer bitter and mixed with snowflakes, it becomes warm and humid, and the vegetation cover is noticeably increased.

However, it is best known for the abundance of high-grade iron ore in the mountains, and the veins are not deeply buried, so you don't need experienced dwarven miners, and with simple tools and enough manpower, you can get the refined iron ingots that supply a country.

It's a great natural territory.

As far as Rod knows.

In the original historical trajectory.

Like the half-elven ranger [Wind Hero] Perren Otom who met not long ago, his Sunset Knights and several knights who rose up in Westflow City have carved out a prosperous territory in this borderland.

The mountains at the end of the Ponse Pass block the moisture that blows from the sea, and the summer melting snow and the abundant rainfall of the four seasons create a number of small rivers that converge from the northeast of the region to Lake Monteis, another landmark in the heart of the region.

Lake Monteis continues southwestward, eventually entering a vast swamp.

There are many relics of old abandoned construction sites and excavations around the lake, so some scholars call the lake a lost ancient man-made lake.

It was on the northwest side of Lake Monteis, on the edge of the forest belt around the lake, that the Knights carved out a thriving territory.

Sanwaya Collar!

Rhodes had traveled to this peculiar territory, a place where the adventure culture flourished.

He still vividly remembers a famous tavern there - "The Roar of the Stone".

The Tavern of the Borderlands has been filled with travelers and adventurers of all kinds who have come to try their luck since the young lord of Weststream City opened the Ponse region.

Mercenaries and tramps await private assignments and their own food and drink, Fireflies and Cowherds brow around, and bards, joke harlequins, and jugglers provide the basic background for the tavern.

As the largest intelligence trafficking center and black market agent in the area, Rhodes used to find a lot of good things there.

Of course.

There, it's best not to enter the basement of the tavern without the skills.

The location is one of the reasons why Rhodes chose to develop in Weststream.

Secondly.

The young lord of Tempus Terris, the young lord of Tempus City, was an ambitious man.

From the mouth of the treasurer, Noonan, Rhodes learned that there has been a bit of a proliferation of wild creatures lately.

And it's just a coincidence.

Most of the wilderness creatures had been smuggled in from the Emerald Territory by forcibly crossing the Osmum Watchtower camp.

Other words.

Something seems to have happened on the Emerald Collar's side, and they are expelling wild creatures from a large area.

According to Rod's memory.

He remembered that the Grizzly Hills were not very peaceful, and in this year of imminent chaos, it was not surprising that a few adult dragons came out of that ancient hill.

Don't make a fuss.

That's just the way it is.

Just a few examples.

For example, if you go south from the Ponse region to the Patiman region on the border between the Duchy of Belmar and the De Los Empire, there will soon be a city in the sky.

That mighty, ancient city in the sky!

And further north.

There was even a demigod-level powerful mutant ice dragon in the Stroll Mountains, and because of the ravages of that ice dragon, the Bantu people living in the Stroll Mountains were forced to move south, which caused a huge impact on the nearby countries.

Elsewhere it wasn't peaceful.

Like the area where elves and dwarves live, the region of Neupera. There was an ancient evil dragon that appeared in that place, and it was initially estimated that its strength was above the demigod.

There are a few other powerful areas that are busy.

Many enemies of the Church of the Gods have begun to emerge, just take the nearby ones, according to Rhodes's calculations, in the ancient past, the "dark earth" that was sealed by the gods will have a big shock.

In Rod's eyes, the things he focused on at the beginning were big events that were enough to affect the pattern of one party.

He really didn't pay attention to what happened in a small place like the Emerald Collar.

But it should be pretty much the same.

Emerald Collar and Xiliu City can be said to be generations of enemies.

Backed by the Genei River, the city of Weststream was an important port city in the Duchy of Varesian, and its economy has always been prosperous.

And the Emerald Territory is adjacent to the Ponse region, holding the Ponse Pass, and the resources behind it should not be underestimated.

The two realms had fought several battles since the days of their ancestors.

It just so happened that there was a problem within the Emerald Territory, and Xiliu City was successfully taken over by a careerist, so the war would naturally break out.

It was this war that Rhodes was looking forward to.

The young lord Titus was also a decisive and resolute figure, and in order to completely defeat the Emerald Collar, he directly issued an "opening decree", which opened up almost no one to open up the Ponse region.

Expand your territory and build your forces!

Xiliu City met Rhodes' requirements in terms of time, place, and people, and once he gained a foothold in the Ponse region, he could even go further into the ocean along the Monteis Lake basin in the Ponse region.

In the depths of the sea.

Rod's gaze was firmly locked on a sky that no one had discovered, and above that sea of clouds, there was a deeper expectation of Rod.
