"Let this soldier die? Sorry I can't. Jenny replied without evasion, "If I had to do it again, maybe I'd make the same choice, just not against that goblin with the tactics that didn't work anymore." ”

"You..." Seeing that Jenny had no intention of repenting, Rupert's eyebrows pressed down angrily, "Maybe staying in the royal capital is your best choice, don't travel with the army anymore." ”

"I am only on the orders of His Majesty the King—as Lord Rodney's aide-de-camp, Adjutant Rupert, do you have any opinion on His Majesty's decision?"

"Of course I know, it's not up to me to decide on this matter, but I believe Commander Rodney will make a clear decision, and you will listen to the commander's opinion, right?" In the face of Jenny's provocation, Rupert remained calm.

Cavalry B on the side, who wanted to bandage the wound's hand, was only pinching it tightly to keep the blood from draining.

It is true that his own situation just now made it a little difficult for Commander Jenny, who was usually on the side of the soldiers, to make a choice, and he almost fell into the danger of being defeated.

Now my bandaging action is not very appropriate...

Rupert and Jenny stared at each other unyieldingly, and were silent for a moment.

“... Lord Rodney? Rupert looked up, for Rodney on his horse did not respond for a long time.

Rodney touched his chin with his forehand, thinking about something.

"Hmm... Suddenly, the goblin attacked me directly, and out of self-preservation, I had no choice but to cast a magic circle immediately..."Rodney said, glancing at the corpse of the warrior on the ground.

"What are you referring to?" Rupert asked.

Jenny also looked up at him with some confusion.

"Ah, I mean, I seem to have forgotten the customs of the kingdom of Andoo... Didn't ask the enemy what his wishes were before the battle, and now, it is impossible to do anything for it after it dies. As if apologetic, Rodney said with a smile.

"Lord Rodney... Unless it is the request of the enemy, you can consider it, there is no need to say this, it must be a respectable opponent, and it is more appropriate for you to take the initiative..."Jenny explained hesitantly.

"And it's not right to say that the custom is ... This should be called Andu's duel etiquette, Commander Rodney..."Rupert choked as well, and stopped what he was talking about, he couldn't ask Lord Rodney why he didn't know the title that even beginner warriors remembered, right?

"I see... Haha," Rodney sighed with relief, "and thought he hadn't handled his opponent's affairs properly." ”

"And those goblins are running away, what about Commander Rodney? Now, I can still catch up," Rupert gripped the scabbard of his saber in his left hand, ready to strike, "or did you follow your original plan - to track down the fleeing goblins and expose them to their camp?" ”

Led by the centurion, the goblins disappeared into the corner of the forest at the top of the slope.

"How could I have a plan like that?" Rodney tilted his head slightly.

"Huh!? Aren't you waiting for them to run away with confidence and then secretly follow them back to their home camp and annihilate our army in one fell swoop? Rupert was surprised.

"How can it be~ I'm just thinking about the duel etiquette of the Andu Kingdom, and I don't have time to think about it for the time being," Rodney waved his hand to deny, "And this southern mountain forest near Liv Village, there are only about one hundred and seventeen goblins just now, their main army is not here, and the rest are weak remnants of the defeated generals, you go and destroy them, Rupert." ”

"Ahh Be! Rupert responded with a slight hesitation, feeling in his heart that although Commander Rodney was not very serious, he was trustworthy in terms of perception, and maybe the goblins of less than two hundred were indeed not worth too much attention...

"Even if you can catch up, let's save some effort," Rodney glanced in front of Rupert before an inward-opening door circle was formed, "Its exit is in front of the goblins, good luck." ”

Rupert opened his mouth slightly, unable to believe that Commander Rodney's magic circle could be released at that distance, even if it was the magic itself, was amazing enough...

"Yes." He responded slowly, drawing his sword and walking through the circle.

——————————

On the side of Liv Village, it can be regarded as worrying until dawn.

"What!?"

Gathered in front of the tent, sitting on the ground with a staff in hand, the village chief was awakened by the words of one man in his dozing.

"You said that His Excellency Xia Zuo went to the entrance of the village!? Didn't you just say he was in camp? ”

He was so excited that he pressed the informant's shoulder.

"Yes, Mr. Village Chief... I also just knew," the man smiled bitterly, and then stepped out of the way, revealing the three people behind him, "Aren't they all back~ It was Your Excellency Xia Zuo who returned in exchange for them, and Your Excellency is currently guarding the entrance of the village for them..."

After a peaceful night, the village chief didn't rush to keep an eye on where Xia Zuo was, and he didn't expect the person in charge of reporting to be so unreliable...

At this moment, the three of Grim had already put on the equipment made by Xia Zuo.

"I haven't heard any news from your three brothers this night, so you have already returned!?" The village chief stood up excitedly and walked over to Grim.

The surrounding villagers were already very tired, and overnight, no enemy appeared, as if all of them had become frightened birds, and at this moment their spirits were barren and not conducive to fighting.

The three of Grim yawned, but judging by their relatively full countenances, they should have taken turns sleeping.

"We're not brothers, village chief," the fat man replied, scratching his head.

"That's not the point, why did he go to the entrance of the village?"

"Ah, it's because of this," the fat man pulled out a black rope from his neck, and there was nothing in the knot underneath, as if it was originally tied to something, "It's a very beautiful stone, my sister Leah and I have one, it was given by Jobs's little ghost..."

"Jobs gave it to Leah, why should I send it to you? Just because you're Leah's brother? The thin man on the side interrupted.

"Jobs said," said the fat man, leaning into the thin man's ear and whispering, "Let me pay attention to any other boy who has given Leah a gift, and if you find it, tell Jobs that this one of mine is his thank you." ”

"No whispering! I'm not done yet! The village chief sounded his staff, causing the two of them to tremble.

"Ah yes, Xia Zuo saw my stone and said he wanted it, and then saw that we were all sleepy with dark circles under his eyes, and he was still in good spirits, so he proposed... Changed our class - at the cost of that beautiful stone, when I gave him the stone, he still hated the black rope for the smell of my sweat, and after picking the stone, he returned the rope... So we came back four hours ago..."The fat man swallowed, not daring to continue, saying that the first thing they did when they came back was to sleep.

"Hey... In the middle of the night, I sensed a powerful magic force, maybe it was the arrival of the goblin army, a guy like a goblin in armor, should have gathered a lot, so it would exude such a huge magical aura..."The village chief said with palpitations, and then raised his eyes to look at the back mountain, "I sent people to investigate the surroundings, but I didn't find the enemy, fortunately, they may be behind this mine, and they can't get over the steep and smooth stone wall for the time being, but at present, His Excellency Xia Zuo stays with the villagers, which is the biggest guarantee." ”

"We didn't know what was going on in the village at first, but when we came back, we heard that you had discovered the enemy who might have reached the back of the mountain...," Grim said at this time, "Because of this, the enemy is likely to not be able to pass, and will choose to attack from the front. ”

"What do you know!? Woke up? Why don't you go and exchange His Excellency Xia Zuo for me! The village chief rebuked.
