Due to his fear of Ness and greed for the magic crystal, the leader of the bandits sent several teams of people out that night, and these people were the elite and mainstay of the bandits.

Rod and Tom monitored the movements of these bandits inside and out, and made sure that these people were indeed sent to the town, and after entering the mine to detect the magic crystal mine, Rod turned around and quickly rushed to the barracks.

Before leaving, Rhodes hesitated for a moment, and then used the illusion to transform into a beautiful woman to directly use the charm ability on a small boss, and then used magic to penetrate his soul and forcibly control the spirit of the little boss.

A day later, Rhodes was back at camp.

Greeted by Rod's surprised gaze, Alyssa is not a stupid person, she didn't see the people around Rod, of course she knew what was going on, and she could still get out of the face of four enemies of almost the same level, Alyssa's evaluation of Rod rose a notch again, and she also paid more attention to Rod in her heart.

It wasn't until she heard Rhodes explain that the bandits had gathered in the mine and saw the record of the photo crystal that Alyssa's eyes widened in surprise and couldn't help but look Rhodes up and down.

Of course, Alyssa knew about the situation of the mine, and during the time that Rod left the barracks, she had already roughly figured out the information, and knew that the mine was an abandoned mine, so it was naturally impossible to gather bandits, and she also vaguely hinted at Rode.

"Looks like Rhodes already has a plan, so what can I do?" She will neither meddle nor stop, at most she will only offer some help.

Rod did not deny Alyssa's words, and acquiesced to the word plan, which is an opportunity to show himself and improve Elisa's perception, and use some kind of plan to lead the bandits into the "death trap", no matter how you look at it, it is a good way to show your ability, and Rod will naturally not let it go.

"Alyssa, you just need to help me hold a meeting to remember, so that the general can get enough attention, if it is me, even if there is a photo crystal, I am afraid it will be difficult to attract attention, if you wait for the information to come, then you will miss the best opportunity."

Rod meant something, and Alyssa understood that Rhodes was talking about Nice and the general.

Nice steals chickens and rice, and now he must hate Rhodes very much, and he will definitely go against Rhodes. The general was also an aristocratic man, and even if Rhodes was the chief student of the Royal Academy, he could not change the general's attitude. Only by intervening himself can he suppress Nice and put pressure on the general to value the information provided by Rhodes.

"Yes, of course I can help with this little favor, but I just want to attract the attention of the general, I'm afraid it will ......."

Alyssa knew that Rhodes could understand her, and unless she could present this information together, even if she put pressure on her, the general would definitely disobey her, pay attention to it on the surface, but secretly disdain Rhodes's information.

"Of course, I have long understood that there is a reason why I came to Alyssa first this time, and I hope that Alyssa can personally present the information."

The stereotype is difficult to eliminate, after the analysis of the staff team, the general has determined that the bandit has shrunk, coupled with the original prejudice, he will never believe this information, so Rod has long thought that the information must be presented by Alyssa herself.

On the one hand, it is to sell Elisa's favors, which can not only allow Alyssa to have a better impression of herself, but also use Alyssa's influence to complete the plan, Nice and the general's attitude has made Rod realize that Elisa does not seem to be an ordinary noble descendant, even if it is the arrogant Nice, there is no obvious anger towards Elisa, which shows how deep Alyssa's background is, and such an identity is obviously worthy of Rod's deep friendship.

On the other hand, Rhodes intends to try to get rid of his influence, not to mention that this is his plan, and it is not a glorious thing, if he is too close, maybe someone will investigate the reasons for this because he is unhappy, which is a result that needs to be avoided as much as possible.

Alyssa looked at Rod in surprise, obviously she didn't expect Rod to be so decisive, and actually gave the credit to herself, Elisa couldn't help but want to know the reason: "Rode, you know this is a lot of credit." ”

Rod smiled slightly: "The bandits occupy the mine, and I don't know what purpose ...... for the time being." Rod smiled awkwardly: "The more important reason is probably that the gun shoots the first bird, although a civilian like me can't attract the attention of teachers if he doesn't come out of the way, and it is impossible to become the chief student, but now that he has become the chief student, I think it's better to retract his head." ”

This is Rod's true thoughts, if civilians want to get ahead, they must become the first bird, otherwise they will not be able to attract the attention of the above at all, and then they will not be able to get preferential treatment, and eventually they will become a member of the crowd, so the first bird is at risk of death, but there are still people who are flocking to become the first bird, because this is the only way out.

Alyssa stared at Rod with great energy, and Rod looked directly into Alyssa's eyes without fear, and his emotions were perfectly controlled when his heart was beating.

After half a minute, Alyssa didn't seem to feel fake, and only then did she smile sincerely, knowing that what Rhodes said was not all but part of the truth, and her evaluation of Rhodes rose again, and she decided to maintain her friendship with Rhodes for a long time.

Alyssa directly took the photo crystal handed over by Rod, this credit may be a disaster for Rod, but it can only become her embellishment, this is the result of the difference in identity, even if someone finds out that something is wrong afterwards, she can also directly get rid of responsibility, because she is a nobleman.

Rhodes saw through the aura emanating from Elisa, and knew that he had touched Elisa's heart and left a deep-rooted impression in Elisa's heart. Rod smiled, this is probably the biggest gain, sometimes, such friends help him a lot, far from being comparable to money.

Back in his tent, Rhodes glanced at the energy, hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to strengthen, he calculated that he would save the remaining 500 energy for emergency needs.

Due to Elisa's influence, the general summoned most of the cadres in the barracks in just a few minutes, and Rod also saw Nice in it, and the undisguised hatred made Rod smile slightly, without looking at Nice, walked into the conference room, refused Elisa's invitation to sit, and stood directly behind Elisa.

Feeling Nice's irrepressible hatred, Rhodes secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, if there was no killing qi, he would definitely be able to harvest a lot of energy.

The meeting went smoothly, the general didn't even look at Rhodes, just played the photo crystal in the name of Elisa, and the influence of the large group of bandits gathering in the mine was obtained by the various officers, no one was stupid, and immediately there was speculation that the mineral deposit was caused by some reason.

The general also nodded in agreement, the intelligence network in the army is very developed, he has long known the situation nearby, and naturally knows the existence of the mine, and also knows that the mine actually has mineral deposits, but the mining costs and benefits cannot reach a break, so it will be abandoned by the mine owner.

In other words, even if some kind of accident caused the deep underground mineral deposits to be exposed, and then the bandits learned about it, it is not a strange thing.

Now the only question is the authenticity of the information, and in the case of the use of reconnaissance vehicles, it will soon be possible to confirm the authenticity of the information.

Although Ness thought there was something strange about this, after all, he was the mastermind who personally arranged for his cronies to try to kill Rhodes in the mine, and he could not tell his plan to arrange for the guards to kill Rhodes, so he could only remain silent in the end.

The general glanced at Ness indifferently, although he guessed that there must be something dirty in it, but he didn't want to pay attention to it at this time.

The general did not want to disobey the king's orders, and knowing that the king was already displeased, he certainly wanted to end the bandit operation as soon as possible.

In comparison, the matter of Nice is not a matter.
