I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 597: Pincer Attack and Ninth Level

"A boring trick."

It was almost evening when the so-called discussion about the Campbell Mafia family ended.

Rhodes put on a fake smile and walked past the senior members of the Recruiting Corps who passed by him.

Grand Commander Carter, Deputy Commander Harper, even the seriously injured and dying Deputy Commander Levi, and Captain Eve of the Shadow Hunter
A group of senior executives.

Everyone will focus their attention on him.

I heard that a cardinal from the Igo religion was also there, but he didn't show up at this meeting.

Rhodes didn't bother to care about the indifference, hatred, fear, or surprise in their eyes.

Walking out of Argyle Manor, which served as my temporary office, the air suddenly became fresh.

He walked in the opposite direction of where the conscription group had left, towards New Rank Street.

I've been feeling more sensitive lately.

Some people who were somewhat afraid of the draft did not choose to roam outside, so there were not many restaurants still open.

The sign recommending mature barbecue by the orc aunt is still there.

Rhodes curled his lips and pushed the door open.

"Lord Rhodes!"

The orc lady who was still packing up turned around and smiled under the dim light above her head.

“Is business okay?”

"It's much worse than before. Fortunately, Lord Rhodes is willing to reduce the rent for these days!"

"Oh, it's mutually beneficial."

Just as Rhodes sat down, the copper bell on the door rang again impatiently.

The witch Demia was wearing a simple beige wrap dress. She was panting, and the sweat on her forehead stained her dyed golden hair. Her cute childlike face was flushed.

The wrap dress is still the type with a raised waistline, and a palm-wide strap runs from the chest to the waist.

The part above the straps is slightly fitted, while the part below is a normal long skirt.

Not only does it outline and support the soft giant rabbit of Miss Witch, but it also makes her not-so-tall height appear to be all legs below her chest.

It looks good.

"Rod!"

"Good evening, come and have dinner together."

"I saw you on the street corner. Why didn't you ask me to come with you to the meeting?"

"Oh, I heard from Sharon that you had some personal matters recently, so I didn't send anyone."

Rhodes glanced at Demia who was walking slowly towards him.

His face was haggard and his eyes were bloodshot.

Looking at his hands again, his right hand was covered in ink and ink marks.

There is no problem on my left hand, but the fingertips seem to be shriveled and wrinkled. It’s hard to guess why.

Rod had the decency to say no more on the matter.

"What does my personal affairs matter if those guys want to do something to Quartz Town again?"

"Humbert is here too. It's no problem. Besides, this meeting probably has little to do with Quartz Town."

Miss Witch sat down opposite, with a slight smell of sweat on her body.

The smell of sweat is actually the minty scent of magic power consumption. It can only be said that they are worthy of being a race with magical internal organs.

Naturally, it also carries a charming hormonal scent.

Terry often bullied him in front of Rhodes, and he was used to it.

Demea asked for a glass of water.

He calmed his breathing a little and wiped the sweat off his face a little embarrassedly.

He touched his waist and was suddenly stunned.

"what happened?"

"Well, I left in a hurry and forgot to bring my magic bag. Rhode, do you have a mirror? No, I'll borrow one from the orcish lady boss."

"Do you think orcs always keep mirrors?"

Only then did Rhodes realize that the girl was not wearing any makeup today, and she looked much more pretty and clean than before.

He smiled and handed over a small round mirror with a frame decorated with dark blue minerals.

"give you."

"Oh, thank you."

Demia blushed and left her seat, moving slightly away from Rhode. Since there was no one else in the store, it didn't matter.

soon.

He took a moment to tidy up his appearance before coming back.

"So, what was the meeting about?"

"They said they wanted to go with me to attack the Campbell family, and they even invited a bunch of bards to sit in on the performance. It was so boring."

Rhodes spread his hands and cut off a piece of well-done beef.

Pink blood oozes out, dripping.
Well.
I forgot that the well-done food at this orc steak restaurant actually means medium rare.
It can only be said that the orcs' concept of meat is indeed different from that of humans.
It doesn’t matter anymore.

Take one bite.

Demia knew that the Recruiting Corps had secretly contacted people from the mafia family, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"What do they want?"

"What else could it be? If they want to attack me, then I'll drag them into the black pit and attack them from both sides, haha."

Miss Witch suddenly became nervous: "You agreed?"

"of course."

Rhodes cut off a large piece of bloody beef and glanced at her wrinkled fingertips with a smile.

"I was worried that I couldn't find anyone from the Campbell family. They might bring me trouble."

Recruiting Corps Hotel.

In the room on the top floor.

Grand Commander Carter sat in his old seat, twirling a brown-green bottle of fine wine back and forth in his hand, his eyes full of amazement.

This is a good thing from the wine cellar next to Argyle Manor.

I really didn't expect that.

The quality of the drinks in the small town of Quartz is truly beyond imagination.

After rolling his throat, he chose to put down the bottle and poured a glass of giant wine bought from the Violet Tavern.

The injury of the brat Levi has improved a lot, but he is still not suitable for drinking. I will give it to him after he recovers.

"Have you finished talking to the Campbell family?"

Cardinal Davide held an exquisite gold-inlaid cane with his hands folded.

Although he was old and frail, he still looked indifferently at the whole view of Quartz Town outside the window.

"They were reluctant to leave their lair at first, but when they heard it was your order, Cardinal, they gritted their teeth and had to obey it. Haha, even if they have requests, they must complete our request first. As long as Rhodes is dead, they can't even think about it."

Grand Commander Carter sneered.

After taking a sip of the giant wine, he was stunned for a moment.

It's obviously awful to drink and even smells like urine.

But don't know why.

He always felt that the taste was very familiar and seemed quite good.

Nod.

The drinks in Quartz Town are really something.

"Now that the experiment is complete, there's no point in this place existing any longer. To avoid being caught, do it cleanly, Captain Carter."

"I understand."

There was a hint of something strange in Cardinal David's kind eyes with drooping eyelids.

Looking out the window at the lights on in a shop on the dark New Rank Street with a large steak model on the door, I felt a surge of uneasiness in my heart.

"Is there any solution?"

"Deputy Captain Harper went to verify it during the day, and Campbell does have quite powerful defense-breaking technology."

Carter paused, then continued, "Mr. Ranger's defense is incredible; it's the very foundation of his being. If it's dispelled, he could be killed. I've heard it's been dispelled before."

"Not enough, not enough."

David shook his head. "The Ascension Blood incident has come to an end. Have Campbell invite a ninth-level cultivator who has returned from Purgatory."

"Is this necessary?"

"If there is any, I will do it myself."

"Your Excellency Cardinal?!"

The Grand Commander turned his head in astonishment and looked at the old man's calm back.

No matter how impressive the battle record is, is it necessary for Rhodes to dispatch two ninth-level warriors?
