Chapter 605: An Uneasy Crisis

Rhodes whistled through the air, and beside him, the dazzling sword light formed a perfect ring that enveloped him in it. Looking at the battlefield in front of him, his face was a little stern. To be honest, Rhodes didn't feel anything strange about the rout of the soldiers of the Land of Light, and if they didn't retreat from the bloody battle, Rhodes would be surprised. And the quality of these soldiers is also very problematic, so at the beginning, Rhodes didn't expect too much here, but now............... This line of defense cannot be lost yet, and it is only a prelude to it at the moment, and if any layer of defense is lost at this time, it will be a very unstable factor for their plans.

Therefore, this layer of defense must be defended.

Thinking of this, Rhodes collected his thoughts, he raised his head, withdrew his gaze from the falling bone dragon's body, and looked at the obstacle in front of him. There were about five or six bone dragons that attacked this line of defense, and their huge bodies erupted with gloomy and dim blue spiritual fire, and the cloudy black mist wrapped around their bodies, although they didn't know what Chaos had done to these bone dragons, but judging from their scarlet, frantic eyes, they had now completely lost their minds and turned into frenzied beasts. Seeing that Rod had killed one of them, the remaining bone dragons immediately turned around and pounced on Rod with their teeth and claws.

"Hoo ..............."

Looking at the bone dragon in front of him, Rod took a deep breath, then his right hand flipped over, and soon, a stack of cards emerged from between Rode's fingers, and then he squinted his eyes and aimed at the bone dragon in front of him, and then saw Rode's right hand flung forward, and the next moment, a bright light flew out of Rode's hand -- it was a sharp blade formed by the condensation of pure light.

The blade of light forwards.

“―――――!!”

In the face of Rod's attack, the bone dragon also let out an angry roar, and it raised its head. The next moment, a roaring torrent of soul erupted from its mouth and squirted towards the blade of light.

"Whew!!"

And at the moment when the dragon breath of the bone dragon collided with the light blade, I saw that the light blade suddenly dispersed, and at first glance, it seemed to be completely knocked apart by the dragon breath of the bone dragon. But this was not the case -- the moment the blade of light collided with the dragon's breath, the blade of light instantly split into five and spread out in all directions. Immediately after that, an encirclement was formed and the bone dragon was surrounded. Seeing this scene, Rod's expression remained unchanged, on the contrary, his right hand stretched out forward was held in the air, and then he made a downward chopping motion.

"Whoosh!!"

At the moment when Rod made this move, a light blade located behind the bone dragon suddenly jumped up and became larger, just in the blink of an eye. The holy sword that shone with divine brilliance suddenly jumped up, and then slashed heavily into the body of the bone dragon. With a heavy collision sound, the bone dragon's body suddenly crooked, and a steady stream of divine power bombarded its body, completely crushing the dark mist that wrapped around the bone dragon's body. Feeling the scorching power of the divine power, the bone dragon also let out a painful howl, and it instinctively stretched out its claws and swung it backwards. Trying to knock the longsword flying. However, at the same time as the bone dragon made its move. At its side, another large, bright red blade whirled and flew out, slashing heavily into the bone dragon's claws. Only a soft "click" was heard, and the claws of the bone dragon were completely shattered under the bombardment of Xiluosi, and the claws formed by the condensation of the huge, resolute white bones were now shattered and scattered like fragile glass. In just an instant, I saw that the right front paw of the bone dragon and half of the dragon arm were shattered and collapsed, including the dragon claw. Feeling this intense pain, the bone dragon's body began to tremble violently. Its head began to sway, shaking, trying to struggle to escape the attack of the holy sword in front of it. But its resistance was in vain, and the moment the bone dragon turned its head, its head trembled suddenly, and the next moment, the neck connecting the head and the body was staggered by two staggered ways, and the almost impeccable light cut open, and the smooth and flat incision appeared vividly on its neck, and then, accompanied by a shining thunder, a huge sharp blade full of serrations and looking like a chainsaw roared and stabbed the wound hard.

Then, the roaring lightning, the erupting flames, the cold frost and the cracking air flow spread out in the body of the bone dragon in an instant, and then everyone only saw that the huge body of the bone dragon suddenly expanded like a leather ball, and the next moment it was completely blown to pieces, and those turbid black mist were also torn to pieces in this whistling and cracking air flow, and soon, the bone dragon that had been completely tossed into pieces fell to the ground with a roar, and went with the colleagues in front of it.

It still doesn't seem right.

Looking at the dark mist that dissipated in front of him, Rhodes moved his wrist. His attack this time is not just about destroying the enemy, Rhodes also needs to determine which attributes are more threatening to work together, and how he can get them together to get the strongest buff. But now he doesn't feel very satisfied with two consecutive attacks. This time, he used five holy swords, first using Ceria's divine power to defeat the undead power on the bone dragon, then using Heros to cooperate with Gresil and Madaras to attack the bone dragon, and finally relying on Dona to complete the fatal blow. But this combination doesn't seem to be very effective right now. In fact, it's no wonder, because Rhodes hasn't even figured out the attribute attack effects of these cards so far, and the ones he is most familiar with are Celia, Celestina, Gresil and Madaras, and the other holy sword cards Rhodes don't use much, and they have many differences between the sword form and the human form -- when they become elven form, Rhodes can cooperate with them and fight. But after they changed back to the body of the sword form, they needed to rely more on Rhodes' manipulation to be able to exert their power again. This feeling is also new to Rhodes -- because as a summoning swordsman, he has no experience in this direction, and summoning swordsman itself is a profession that summons spirits and combines swordsmanship to exert its power. And a situation like the one that requires complete manipulation by a swordsman is rare for Rhodes.

It needs to be practiced a little more.

Thinking of this, Rhodes turned his head and looked ahead, there. Several other bone dragons had already rushed over. Seeing the voices of these bone dragons, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

There's time.

The result of the battle was already determined after Rhodes came to the battlefield.

Although the escape of the soldiers of the Land of Light put the defense line in a precarious situation, after Rhodes simply eliminated the bone dragons, Lydia lost no time in ordering the magic fleet to cooperate with the War Angel Legion to put up a strong resistance against the Chaos Monsters again. And after encountering resistance, these Chaos Monsters did not struggle and persist anymore, but quickly turned around and left the battlefield. In the end, this line of defense kept it safe.

However, although the victory was won, no one showed a relaxed expression, on the contrary, everyone, including Rod and Lydia, had a solemn face.

"Thanks to you. Otherwise, the first line of defense is likely to be lost. ”

Looking at Rod in front of her, Lydia also showed a helpless and relieved expression on her face. In fact, she also knew that if Rod didn't appear here, then in the end, she might have to fight herself. But it wasn't a great idea for Lydia, and more importantly............... In fact, Lydia is not in a good situation now.

Rhodes didn't know, though under Lilian's appointment. Lydia did gain the dominion of the Land of Light, but that did not mean that she had gained the heartfelt and recognition of the people of the Land of Light. Let's not mention that Black Moon, the Land of Light, has been black for so many years. Lydia's image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, after that, the connection battle between the Land of Light and Moon, the Land of Light and the Void Lord, made the devil images of Rhodes and Lydia even more spread in the hearts of the people of the Land of Light. This makes the people up and down the Land of Light more or less resistant to Rhodes and Lydia.

The reason why they were willing to accept Lillian's rule before was because Lilian was born and raised in the Land of Light and was considered her own people. I also believe that she will call the shots for them. But what about Lydia? She is the archangel of the Duchy of Moon, and now that the Kingdom of Light is in her hands, can she have good fruit to eat?

The country of loss also knows that Helydia was black eight streets back then............... Now I'm starting to feel timid.

Because of this, the people of the Kingdom of Light are actually quite wary of Lydia's rule and management. They were so happy when Halytia was black. Well, now they have become their own top bosses. And according to rumors, this archangel is also a murderer without blinking, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not settle accounts after the autumn, what if she uses the excuse of letting herself go to the front line, in fact, she wants to let herself die? Is this kind of thing that the archangel can do? Well......... It's hard to say.

There are these ideas above, and the thoughts of the soldiers below are even more, none of them want to be someone else's substitute for the dead, and they are not willing to let others pull themselves to accompany the funeral, it was you who shouted Huan outside, we are just ordinary soldiers, why do the contradictions between the high-level ask us to send them to death?

In fact, Lydia also knows this, so when she saw Rod, her expression was still a little embarrassed. But to be honest, Lydia can't be blamed for this incident itself, life is selfish, even now, even if it is related to the survival of the entire continent? Can you expect everyone to have such a high level of ideological awareness, abandon their previous suspicions, and work hard for the Dragon Soul Continent? Hahaha, how is that possible? Not to mention that in order to avoid causing panic, Rhodes and others did not tell ordinary people the truth, after all, this is a single choice, either succeed or die. Just imagine, if a scientist on Earth suddenly announced to the whole earth that he had discovered that the sun would explode and destroy the entire solar system in the near future, and human beings would either choose to move the earth out of the solar system or choose to accept their fate, how do you think other people would react?

There may be people who accept their fate, but panic and riots are certainly indispensable. This kind of thing is inevitable on the earth where the level of science and technology is more developed and the per capita cultural level is higher, how much more consciousness do you expect this Dragon Soul Continent, which is mostly similar to the Middle Ages except for the magical civilization, to give a high level of consciousness? What's more, this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Rhodes was reluctant to send troops to fight against chaos while expending his strength to deal with possible internal riots.

So these soldiers don't really know what they're facing and what the consequences are, which is why these soldiers don't have any pressure to escape.

Tell the truth, even if Lydia is honest with them. They may also wonder if this is a lie and an excuse made up by Lydia so that they can die obediently...............

The generals are not compatible, their hearts are not aligned, and they still expect them to be able to fight well? Isn't that a joke?

Rhodes didn't think about it so much, after all, as a player of the Duchy of Moon, he was tired of seeing the Land of Light turn into a deserter. Therefore, like other players, he did not particularly delve into the escape of the soldiers of the Land of Light -- anyway, in Rhodes's opinion, the escape from the battle can be regarded as a racial talent of the Land of Light.

However, Rod's expression was still very solemn, not because of the problem on the side of the Land of Light, but because he found that the defense line he had carefully built seemed to be difficult to hold out for too long under the attack of Chaos.

Until then, according to Rod's expectations, anyway. The first three lines of defense are enough to hold out until he has built all the beacon towers, and the Chaos attack should not pass through the lines so quickly. Of course, at that time, only the ground was considered, and Rhodes did not take into account the existence of bone dragons. After all, this thing is too out-of-spec. Although the strength of the bone dragon is not as good as that of Irene, these bone dragons themselves are the ancestors of the dark wurm, and their strength will not be too bad, coupled with the invasion of chaos, they will definitely be stronger. Therefore, additional manpower needs to be deployed.

But now. The lack of high-end manpower strength is for the Dragon Soul Continent......... It's nothing new. Otherwise, Rhodes would not have scattered his power and summoned tens of thousands of players. But even so, at the moment, the number is still insufficient. But Rhodes doesn't have any more power to use to create high-end players, he can only hope for quality. Use quality to offset quantity, anyway, chaos monsters are difficult to deal with in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of high-end players, except for lord-level monsters, others are still very easy to clean up.

But with the addition of the bone dragon............ It's different.

Rhodes was able to easily clean up the Bone Dragon because of the bonus of the Holy Sword card. If he didn't have the Holy Sword card, then at least he would need to form a team of five to deal with these bone dragons. The player is only level eighty-five at the highest, and he is not invincible. And although these bone dragons are eroded by chaos, they don't have particularly powerful tricks, but they are dragons. They are enough to become a considerable threat in their own right. Combined with those Chaos Monsters on the ground, it is even more difficult to parry.

And now it is only a tentative period, if there is no bone dragon, then Rhodes is still very confident to resist the attack of the Chaos Monster. But he didn't expect that as soon as the bone dragon appeared, the defense line that his side could still hold on to immediately became a straw that swayed in the storm, and the fragile seemed to be completely broken at once. This makes Rhodes feel very dissatisfied, this is just a sentinel battle, and now his side can't even withstand the sentinel battle, so what should he do when Chaos really attacks in a big way? The bone dragon is not the standard configuration of Chaos, the Chaos Lord is, and now the Chaos Lord has not appeared, and his side has become like this............... It makes Rod quite unhappy. This can't be resisted, so when the Chaos Lord comes, won't it be broken with a stab?

There seems to be something wrong with this adjective............ Forget it, who cares so much, the important question now is whether to keep it or not. This time, on his own, he finally held on. However, it was really unexpected, and if the defense line was in such a storm, it was really very unexpected for Rhodes to come back a few more times, then it would be difficult to guarantee that the two layers of defense line behind would also be fluctuating.

If you want to say that we are strategically needed, so give up the defense line and move in, it must seem lofty, and there is a sense of superiority in the hands of Kong Zhizhi.

If you want to say that our defense line has been breached, we have no choice but to retreat to the rear defense line -- as soon as these words come out, our morale will definitely drop, and we will have to be as strict as we are. At that time, if people's hearts fluctuate, maybe the two layers of defense behind them won't be able to support it for too long, and at that time, even if Rhodes supports the Holy Sword Enchantment, it is unknown how long it will last.

So this problem must be solved.

"We need more people."

Rhodes dissatisfiedly tapped the map in his hand, which contained a report after the battle - this time the defense line on the side of the Land of Light was almost a fifth of its men (except for the players, of course), which was the most expensive of all the defense lines. It is not surprising that although Rhodes introduced the rule of resurrection, the premise of this rule is that the other party has a devout belief in the dragon soul. Only those who sincerely believe in the dragon soul can be resurrected. Therefore, it is a good cycle, seeing people come back from the dead, then it is natural to be in awe of the power of the dragon soul, and thus have faith............

But it is not necessarily that things will necessarily develop in this direction, and there is a worse situation, that is, when they see that people do not come back from the dead, then they will doubt that belief from the bottom of their hearts, and thus deny it, so that it is even more impossible to be resurrected, and then doubt again, and deny again -- now the country of light has entered this vicious circle, and since they have not much reverence for the dragon of light, then most people will naturally not be able to enjoy the benefit of performing the great resurrection technique after death. Then they will really die in battle.

This is also the reason why there are more losses on this front than on other fronts.

"But we don't have enough men, Your Majesty Rhodes."

Lydia is also helpless about this, in fact, it is true, and now it is considered to have recruited all the people who can be recruited within the Land of Light. As for the rest, there is no way to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time after training, and they really do not have the strength to fight.

Although Lydia didn't think about sending Moon's soldiers to defend, this front was so long, how could Moon's soldiers alone be enough?

“……………… This is a real problem. ”

Rod bit his lip and frowned, this is an unavoidable question, and he has not thought of any good way to do it at the moment. However, just as Rhodes and Lydia were distressed, suddenly, a voice came from the side.

"Your Majesty, can't you summon the devil? If I'm not mistaken, didn't you open the gates of hell and summon an army of demons to fight in the battle to destroy Casablanca? If they were, then they shouldn't be a problem. ”

Hearing this, Rhodes and Lydia were stunned, and then they looked at Garling who was standing quietly next to them. At this moment, the girl does not seem to be so cramped and uneasy about her own problems, maybe Lydia is embarrassed to ask for the devil's help, but as a human being, she has no pressure to ask the devil for help. And, as it stands, it's a real approach, but ...............

"I did, but I wouldn't do it until the last minute."

Facing Jia Ling's suggestion, Rod shook his head. To be honest, from the beginning, Rhodes didn't think about relying on the power of hell, to put it bluntly, in this teleportation, Hell has been determined by Rhodes to be the part to give up. After all, this time they are going to the solar system, the earth. Although Rhodes wasn't sure if there would be any problems between the Dragon Soul Continent and the Earth, he was sure that if the Hell Plane was brought to the solar system, then those demons would definitely not let the Earth go. Rhodes didn't intend to harm his homeland......... At least that's where I live.

So this plan Rhodes did not sue the devil, he kept it strictly secret from the devil. This is also the reason why Rod did not tell the truth about this matter. Now all the people who really know Rhodes's plan are those he trusts and will not tell the devil. But if you ask for the devil's help, then with the devil's cunning, you may be able to see through Rod's thoughts, and then there will be a lot of trouble.

Hearing Rod's answer, Jia Ling also fell silent again, and then she seemed to think of something and spoke.

"Majesty, I think I may have a way to ............" (to be continued......
