It was not until the afternoon of the same day that the cavalry arrived at the village of Liv.
Marching through the birch forest, the cavalry frowned.
Because at this moment, the two adjutants leading the team in front of them are in a quarrel.
"Adjutant Jenny, please recognize what your problem is," Adjutant Rupert was unceremonious, he was previously ordered to scout the Goblin remnants along the way, but he encountered the Bone-faced Brown Bear, and Jenny was the first to rush forward, "The Bone-Faced Brown Bear was besieged by the cavalry team, and as an adjutant, you actually destroyed the formation!" ”
"There was a cavalryman who was photographed off his horse, and if I didn't go up and save him, he would have been killed on the spot. Moreover, the bone-faced brown bear was also killed by me in the end. Jenny was right.
"But that moment was really dangerous, and I personally think that it was completely your luck that the brown bear was pierced in the throat by you."
"I've always been lucky, and I'll never refuse to embrace it."
“……”
Even the horses that the two of them rode separately exhaled through their nostrils that could not listen to the noise.
"For the army, the presence of the commander is very necessary, the death of one or two soldiers is nothing, but the death of the commander will be a fatal blow to an entire army." Rupert regained his confidence.
"Then I can't accept it, I can save the soldiers, but stay in the rear and don't do it."
Jenny did not deny the correctness of Rupert's statement, but she also did not admit that she was wrong.
This made Rupert very angry.
"I really don't understand how you got into the cavalry, and Your Majesty doesn't appreciate you inexplicably..."
"I can answer this question to you, Your Majesty appreciates me, probably because of my grandfather, Earl Haydn."
Rupert stopped his voice at once, because the Earl of Haydn had a good relationship with the previous king.
It is no wonder that Jenny was promoted to the position of adjutant by His Majesty without even receiving any meritorious service in the war. How shameless it is to say it proudly, does she really regard knighthood as honor?
Then the dispute becomes meaningless, and His Majesty will not replace her for the time being.
"Is it Lord Rodney's cavalry......" came the cries of the thin man from the trees.
Everyone was wary of stopping their horses and looked up.
The thin man who was scouting at the entrance of the village initially expected to see the magnificence of the Hao Hao Tang team.
After all, the number of goblins to deal with initially seemed to be close to a thousand.
Unexpectedly, the number of this cavalry team was only about a hundred, which was a little more than twice the number of villagers......
"People from Liv Village?" Rupert asked.
Soon, Rupert and Jenny led the group into the village, which was in ruins.
But with the help of the dwarven Holf and his son Ola, they are being quickly repaired, or some simple houses are being built.
The people of the village did not have to flee anymore, because the dragon slayer hero Rodney and his army were here, and everyone was no longer distracted after hearing the reassurance of the village chief, and worked with Horf to first collect the materials available in the ruins before building a home.
"Commander Rodney." When the village arrives in front of Rodney, Rupert and Jenny get down on one knee and speak in unison.
At the same time saluted the 100 dismounted cavalrymen in the rear.
The number is only a hundred... The villagers, who were busy with things all around, stopped their work and looked at this side and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment - the number of town guards was too small.
"According to your orders, after arriving in Liv Village, half of the cavalry has been assigned to continue northward to reconnoiter the remnants of the Goblins, and they will reply in time to any situation, and finally stationed in the north, waiting for the border defenders sent by Wang Dujia."
"Well, hard work." Rodney nodded, motioning for everyone to stand up.
"And Commander Rodney, what's next?" The village chief asked.
"I decided to stay in the village for three days with the army, and after three days, the northern garrison will be ready, and at this time, it just so happens that your curse will also be removed, right?" Rodney replied with a hint of encouragement.
This made the village reassuring a lot, if his magic power was restored, the birch forest in front of the village could be used as a defensive force again, and a large number of enemies could be stopped when the time came.
Xia Zuo, who was on the side, glanced at the top of the village chief's head.
The debuff "Silence of Stone" is now displayed on three stacks.
After getting this debuff, you lose one stack every 24 hours, and you can't use MP for three days.
The 24 hours here is the time in the game, which corresponds to half an hour of real time, so in front of the computer, every half hour can wait until day and night alternate.
The change is now a tangible experience, Xia Zuo feels quite long... It's been more than a day since I missed work, and hopefully the time here is still out of sync with reality.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but admire Rodney's decisiveness and the rich data reserves of the Andu Kingdom.
In the morning, when Rodney learned that the village chief had been inexplicably cursed, he immediately borrowed the village chief's Paisi bird and sent an urgent letter to the royal capital in his own name. In his letter, Rodney described in detail the outward characteristics of this curse.
In the afternoon, Wang Du sent back a letter from the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom, stating that the village chief had been cursed with the name "Stone Silence" and that he would have to wait for three days before he could use magic.
Although Xia Zuo had already seen it at a glance, he kept it secret from beginning to end, otherwise the village chief would have to wonder why Xia Zuo could distinguish the curse. I asked myself for a long time about the problem of destroying the village, but I was fooled.
After inquiring about Rodney, Xia Zuo learned that the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of Andu had almost all kinds of magical materials on the continent.
Rodney did not shy away from telling himself this, and he was also 100% confident in the security of the royal capital, even if Xia Zuo knew what might be in the Ministry of Magic, he would not be able to create any disadvantages. Only with the permission of His Majesty the King can Xia Zuo have access to the information inside.
The Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom... Maybe there is something I want to look for there, and I skipped work for too long, and Xia Zuo bit his nails rarely when he thought about it.
"Commander Rodney," Xia Zuo took a step forward, "The place I'm going to next is also the royal capital, can I go with you?" ”
"With this in mind, I am also interested in relaying Xia Zuo's deeds to His Majesty the King in person, and with Mr. Greveld's letter of introduction, His Majesty will definitely express his gratitude to you."
When Rodney replied, Rupert and Jenny couldn't help but look at the stranger in confusion... Why can the young man dressed as a ranger communicate with Commander Rodney so equally, you must know that even Master Grayveld will pay three points of respect to Lord Rodney, who has an official position, and pay attention to action etiquette when speaking.
"Ah, yes, the letter of introduction," rummaged through the village chief's robes, "I wrote it beforehand, and I wanted to give it to you when you left... Well, here. ”
Xia Zuo took the letter handed over by the village chief, and the red wax dried up in the center was stamped with the seal belonging to the village chief.
Then put the envelope into the bag, there is a reading option in the backpack bar, Xia Zuo doesn't dare to click on it, if he accidentally opens the red wax of the seal, it will be invalid when he goes to the king, and he must use his own credit in exchange for the opportunity to get a magic clue from the kingdom to travel through the other world from the Ministry of Magic.
"Is Xia Zuo waiting together in the village? In the past three days," Rodney smiled kindly, "it just so happens that I have seen Xia Zuo's swordsmanship in the battle with the Goblin King, and I really want to learn from you." ”
"Ah, forget it then..."Xia Zuo hurriedly waved his hand.
"Why?"
And why... His counterattack is neither light nor heavy, if he suppresses the counterattack, and it seems that the fight is very twisted, he must be full of doubts at that time.
"Because... yes, I suddenly remembered that there was a place to go. ”
"In a hurry? Where are you going? Rodney asked, gesturing to the soldiers leading the horses, and motioning to bring the horses over.
"Hilltop Altar." Xia Zuo said.
