Dalin's words made Rhodes think for a long time.
Although Wangcheng will allocate resources to potential talents and will also deliberately train new stars who stand out, Trolian's resource allocation is not completely mandatory, but is more based on position, status and military exploits.
The Royal City attaches great importance to a fair environment and good atmosphere, even to a certain extent that goes beyond cold tactical considerations.
What surprised Rhodes the most was that the Royal City did not place much emphasis on dedication and sacrifice. Instead, they repeatedly mentioned the need to preserve combat effectiveness when necessary and not to make fearless sacrifices.
It was difficult for Rhodes to understand, until Dalin later told him that in Trolian, too many warriors were proud of sacrifice. It was their glory to dedicate their lives to mankind, and it was their dream to return to the embrace of fire.
They are not afraid of sacrifice, and even take the initiative to sacrifice.
The lower the warrior, the more so.
The attrition caused by serious deaths has shaken the combat power of the royal city, which is one of the reasons why Trorian has been unable to expand in the past hundred years.
This situation did not change until the new king took office.
After he took office, he tried his best to change the atmosphere of the kingdom, create a fairer environment and a more open atmosphere, and create a warmer academy so that the soldiers could have memorable memories even if they were plunged into darkness. He also changed the kingdom under great pressure. The resource allocation method has greatly improved the rewards of battles, increased the rewards of tasks, and limitedly invested more resources to those who are more difficult to grow.
To the shock of countless opponents, the king's decree did not reduce Trollian's combat power. Instead, it greatly increased its combat power, which showed explosive growth a few years later.
Most of Trorian's expansion was accomplished at that time.
Dalin also became Wang's loyal supporter at that time, and later resolutely joined the Holy Fire Project.
Even when the Holy Fire Project suffered extremely serious setbacks, he still insisted on believing that their king would succeed.
Now, they have come out of the woods and taken the most important step.
But at the same time, they were standing on the edge of a cliff.
The war was far from satisfactory, the consequences of the psychic disturbance were far more serious than initially expected, the advance was stuck in a quagmire, and time was passing by little by little.
If the storm pass cannot be laid within forty days, then they will definitely not be able to come to Tasnia Star City before the arrival of Hanukkah.
This war has emptied most of Trollian's treasury. If the annual Hanukkah is missed, Trollian will not be able to survive next year, and the torch plan will completely fail.
All their efforts so far will be in vain.
After enduring so many hardships, overcoming so many difficulties, expending so much energy, and sacrificing so many companions, is it all in vain in the end?
Dalin must not accept this consequence.
Even if he died on the command platform, he would not accept that the man who once shined so brilliantly in the fire-passing ceremony would fail.
——
Kashan's transfer order was passed very quickly, and the Black Legion welcomed its fourth member.
In the royal city, after a long time, Rhodes met this proud girl again.
She hasn't changed much, except that she's a little taller, and she still has long blond hair, lake-like blue eyes, and a washboard.
"Rod."
The moment she saw him, Kashan pursed her lips tightly and had tears in her eyes.
Rhodes knew that he had neglected her for too long. He had promised to take her to the battlefield and fight side by side many times, but he never fulfilled it. She must be very sad, so he hurriedly walked up with open arms.
"I'm sorry, Cass, don't cry, this time I will definitely..."
But Kashan raised her fists, smiling again amid her tears.
"Rod, I finally have the strength to punch you."
With a flash of red light, Rhodes sensed the huge danger and stopped abruptly.
It was the instructor Solan who sent her here. He immediately coughed and stepped in, blocking Kashan behind him.
"Rhode, from now on Kassan will be a member of your war group. You have to provide her with the necessary resources and training environment. For the sake of us being like-minded, I will tell you quietly that Kassan can kill one person every day. Hundreds of puppet targets, her power is amazing, don't use barriers such as psychic protective fields to block them, otherwise you will cry for compensation."
Rhodes smiled hurriedly and said: "Teacher Sauron, you underestimate me. I don't have anything here, and there will be no shortage of training venues."
A weird smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, but he immediately put it away and said seriously.
"Although the Royal City did not give Kashan the [Strong] mark due to her unstable performance, in the secret branch, we still supply resources according to the [Strong] mark. Kashan is a Spark sequence, with a total of three fire types. The Wrath species, the strength of steel and the hardening of iron.”
"Among them, the Seed of Wrath is the most important. It must be exercised and strengthened. At least two fire-burning potions need to be taken every day."
"According to the principles of the royal city, the battle group is responsible for all expenses of the battle group members, so this part of the potion will trouble you. As for Kashan's salary, you can decide for yourself, hahahahaha, I'm leaving."
Sauron jumped back happily, as if he had solved a big trouble.
Rhodes was unhappy, but there was no other way.
In this way, Kashan officially became a member of the Black Legion.
Rhodes placed her near Zealand's large military training ground.
The Black War Group rented a special training ground here for Kassan to train.
As for the fire-igniting potion, Rhodes can't get it now, and he doesn't have the palace badge, so he can only borrow it for now.
Kashan didn't rush him, she just beat the target in the training ground crazily, and the too strong force connected with the training ground and destroyed it together.
Although Rhodes didn't care about Yinsuo, he couldn't help sweating behind his back after reading it.
It seems that income is also a very high-risk and long-term matter. Rhodes regrets not listening to the advice of the Book of Knowledge.
This also made him realize that trying to harvest divinity in the short term through this method was inefficient, at least for now.
Just when Rhodes was thinking of a solution, he suddenly received another spiritual crow messenger from Mephis. There was only one sentence in the letter.
"Annabelle's soul is unstable."
These seven short words startled Rhodes, and he immediately rushed to Church Medical Center No. 2 and rushed into Annabeth's room.
fine!
The scene in the room is quite normal.
Mavis sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, while Annabeth sat on the bed with a depressed expression and dull eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Mavis said in his ear as low as possible: "Annabell's soul is damaged and cannot fight. Her sister came here with a message saying that her soul is deformed and cannot go on the battlefield."
Rhodes instantly understood that Annabeth's dream was to catch up with her "sisters" and fight side by side with them. This sentence meant that all her hopes of hard work in her life were extinguished.
It's unbearable for anyone to suddenly lose all hope.
But Rhodes just smiled and took out a pearl-like teardrop from his arms.
"Here, Annabeth, drink this and you will right your deformed soul."
Annabeth's eyes suddenly glowed with fire. She looked at Rhodes in surprise, and then looked at the tears on his hands.
"This, is this the Tears of the Goddess?"
Rhodes smiled and said: "Yes, I still have a few more, and Mavis provided me with some materials."
Annabeth hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Rhode, are you sure you want to give it to me? I heard Mavis say that the Tears of the Goddess are a very precious material."
Rhodes directly put the teardrop-shaped pearl into his hand.
"You can eat if I give it to you, so what's all this nonsense?"
Annabeth was still hesitant: "But, is it useful?"
"It works!" Rhodes replied confidently: "I have seen it and the deformity of your soul is actually caused by a curse."
Annabeth took the Tears of the Goddess dubiously.
After taking it, Annabeth fell on the bed, her body began to heat up, and her consciousness fell into a lake.
Rhodes was delighted. His guess was indeed correct, and he took out the Ice Soul Trait Block.
"Here, this is for you."
Mavis took the cold jelly-like object, and there was a hint of surprise in his calm tone: "Give me...do you know what you are doing?"
Rhodes smiled and said: "Don't worry about the unreasonable prophecy, just control the characteristics."
Mavis said no more and silently put away the soul trait block.
But there was a strange cold light flashing through her silver eyes.
