In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

For an instant.

Scalding steam filled the air, and wails and screams echoed everywhere.

Unaffected, Rhodes wielded his Persuasion Technique, moving back and forth amidst the mist. Relying on the shield formed by the power of the grass element and his own powerful self-healing ability, he didn't dodge or evade when he faced someone. If the shield broke, he would simply take the hit and deliver a blow to his opponent, then heal himself while fighting. If the shield didn't break, even better, as his opponent could only watch helplessly as Persuasion Technique smashed down on his head.

In fact.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this shield formed from grass elemental power is only a thin layer. Only those demonized soldiers who have merged with the power of the Evil Spirit can break through it.

While those demonized soldiers can't be killed with a single blow, there's a saying: if one blow isn't enough, then give them another.

Even the most resilient person would have to watch their demonic state dissipate after taking a few blows from Rhodes, at which point all that's needed is a follow-up blow.

The chaotic battle lasted for a long time.

Hundreds of highly skilled Tanit warriors, along with those wielding Evil weapons, were ultimately wiped out by Rhode and the rebellious eaglets.

"call--"

"call--"

Rhodes' chest heaved as he wiped the blood splattered on his face and glared fiercely at the last few elders remaining on the field.

Despite the help of the eaglets.

He could face more than twenty independent demonic spirits on his own, plus the demonized warriors who used the spirits to strengthen themselves and hundreds of ordinary warriors. In other words, the elemental power reserves brought by Rhodes' three Eyes of God were extremely abundant. If anyone else had come here, they would have been worn down to death long ago.

As for now.

The pleas for mercy from Babel and the others did not move Rhodes and the eaglets in the slightest.

Before Rhodes even had to lift a finger, the young eagles swarmed forward, plunging their sharp blades into the bodies of the elders who usually swaggered around.

a long time.

The hall returned to tranquility.

Following behind Rhode, the falcons, covered in blood just like him, walked out of the ruins step by step.

Outside.

The sandstorm had stopped sometime ago, and the warm sunshine shone on the Tanit tribe once again, but this time, the previous hustle and bustle was gone.

Looking back at Tadra, who was following closely behind him, Rhodes laughed: "See? I told you, the Red King will forgive you."

Chapter 119: I Picked Up a Senior

Chapter 119 I picked up a senior

Red King Divine Envoy.

This was the second time Rod used the name while training the young eagles.

Just like how they fooled Kucera back then.

Upon witnessing the divine power originating from the Grass God, and seeing Rhode able to freely wield the three elemental forces, this inexplicable phenomenon, which could only be explained by miracles, easily convinced Tardra and the others that Rhode was a divine messenger representing the Red King on earth, and that Rhode was going to punish the Tanit tribe, the rebels, on behalf of the Red King.

As for the heinous crimes these falcons had committed for the Tanit tribe, Rhodes generously stated that the Red King would surely forgive them.

In a world with gods, such realistic charlatan behavior would be quite effective.

This is at least true for young eagles.

These children, who were abducted or kidnapped by the Tanit tribe from a young age, have always lived in a highly oppressive environment. Some have chosen to accept their fate, while others still hold onto a glimmer of hope for the future.

Tadella is the kind of person who still holds hope for the future.

As one of the oldest eaglets in this batch, she has a significant voice among them.

Therefore, after she took the lead in offering her faith to the Red King, the young eagles, who were originally in a state of no faith, followed suit and offered their piety to Rhodes, this charlatan.

With an inside man, things become much easier.

As for the aftermath...

"Wait here for a while. I have already sent out the message. In about three to five days, the descendants of the Red King will come to pick you up and take you to live in a new place."

I believe these young eagles who converted to the Red King should be able to live well in Aru Village, which shares the same faith.

Rhodes had already figured out how to deal with the remaining members of the Tanit tribe.

Those who should separate should separate, and those who can stay together should stay together. Some children, although we won't kill their parents for their sake, their parents are not fit to educate their children at all. They should just obediently do hard labor when the time comes. It just so happens that they are in dire need of manpower over there right now. According to Dixia, they have started to hire gilded troupes to help.

Just before that.

We can't let these people get away.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to spare their lives?

The young eagles confiscated all the Eelin weapons possessed by the Tanit tribe.

With the help of these weapons and Rhodes's military intimidation, the small riot started by the Tanit survivors was quickly suppressed.

Now we just need to wait for Candice to come and take over the person.

However, Rhodes is now facing another serious problem.

Naxi Da is angry.

This time is not like the time in Sumeru City.

She knew that Rod was only trying to provoke her to bring her back to her senses, so she calmed down quickly.

But this time is different.

This time, Rod deliberately disobeyed her.

He even wanted to prevent her from interfering with him.

Rhodes also took away everything on his body that could contain Narcida's power, and then killed everyone Narcida had said she could spare.

The result of doing so.

When Rhodes put on the Void Terminal again, Narcida completely ignored him.

And no matter what Rhodes said, she remained silent.

"Don't be angry."

"Just this once, just this once, please don't let it happen again, okay?"

"You can't just stay silent all the time."

"Oh dear, if you continue like this, then I'll have to wait until I return to Sumeru City to apologize to you in person."

Rhodes' last sentence was the most lethal.

As soon as she finished speaking, Naxi Da, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"why?"

"There's no reason why. Keeping them around will only cause trouble later. I can choose not to kill them, but who can guarantee that they won't come back to kill me when they grow up?"

Is that the only reason?

"Yes, that's why. You've read their minds and know what they're thinking all day long. To be honest, I was scared after hearing it. If you think there might still be a sliver of hope for them, that's your business. After all, they didn't target you, so if they seek revenge, they won't be able to find you. But from my perspective, if there's even a 10% chance they'll be willing to reform in the future, then the remaining 90% chance is that they will definitely try every means to get revenge on me."

Seeing that Nasita remained silent, Rod thought for a moment, carefully considered his words, and continued, "I know you like children and think that even if they are crooked now, they have a chance to grow straight later. But have you ever considered that, if they are already crooked like this, what are their chances of growing straight?"

".."

This question seemed difficult to answer, and Nasita was momentarily speechless.

"Let's assume there's a 50% chance they'll grow their hair straight."

"Even so, isn't there still a 50% chance they'll continue down this wrong path?"

"As their enemy, they will try every means to take revenge on me and my friends."

"You heard about the rules of the desert back then, didn't you?"

"They don't believe in the principle of having a culprit and a debtor."

"So no matter what I'm thinking, I absolutely cannot keep those people. I can't just think about myself; I also have to think about my friends."

Rhodes spoke at length, but when he mentioned Nasida again, he was speechless.

half an hour.

She sighed and said, "If something like this happens again, don't bring me along."

These words mean that Nasita no longer cares about the matter.

Rod breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay."

Six days later.

Candice finally arrived, a little later than expected.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Candice didn't come alone; she brought many people from the village with her.

Judging from her style...

This is actually quite unexpected.

"Why are so many people here? Aren't we supposed to take care of the village?"

Looking at the people following behind Candice, Rhodes asked curiously.

Yes, they're all familiar faces.

Roughly speaking, Candice brought half of the village's guards with her.

“These past few days, Dixia and the Blazing Light Hunters have been keeping watch for me.”

Candice replied, then looked at the devastated state of the Tanit tribe after the war, narrowed her eyes and said, "You did all of this."

"Ah."

Rod did not deny it.

"I didn't expect you to actually come alone."
