It was past noon, and after leaving the Duke's Palace, Roddy rode to the monastery at a gallop, and was about to use his prestige and reverence to be equivalent to the "auxiliary bishop" to recruit priests, but found that the church was extremely empty at this time.

A monk came forward to inquire, and after Roddy revealed his identity, he learned that the abbot had personally rushed to the village where the plague had occurred, and that there were only three priests in the monastery at this time, which was far from the expected number.

"Baron Rodi, the Bishop is expected to return in three days, and the Vice-Bishop of Cross will return tomorrow, and he has led the six priests to the village of Tars, and should now be on his way back. ”

This kind of news made Luo Di frown, because he didn't have time to wait for the other party to come back at this time.

Although he wanted to solve the problem on his own, the conditions at the moment were really limited: the army that Sodrol had just begun to build was still in Parr, and it would take three days from sending the letter to rushing over. And the only team that can be organized this afternoon is the cavalry of the two knights of the Duke's Palace...

Wait for a day, maybe it's easy to say anything, but the result may be that countless lives are in danger.

Faced with such a choice, Roddy did not hesitate much, and immediately decided to continue the operation - a squad of cavalry infected with the plague can be dispelled, and a city infected with the plague... But it's not that simple.

Hurrying back from the monastery, when Roddy walked into the Duke's Palace, he found that the two Grand Knights had arrived, so he immediately assigned the task: "Although the assassination of the undead was unsuccessful, I don't guarantee that they have a follow-up, so I worked with the Wellington Knight to find the source of the plague, and the Knight Titus stayed behind in the Duke's Palace..."

"Here's the route map, Wellington Knights, our party needs to leave soon, is ten minutes enough?"

"No problem. ”

The tall Ghost Knight nodded, turned around and went to organize the team, and before Roddy could continue to say anything, a faint voice came from the side: "I will also follow the team." ”

Roddy turned his head and found Sally standing next to him with her bags on her back - the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly overcame the embarrassment and said sternly, "You can't go." ”

"There aren't enough priests in the monastery, and the team needs the 'Ring of Purification' to ensure that they don't get infected, I..."

Sally opened her mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Roddy waving her hand: "You must stay here, this matter is not negotiable, no one can guarantee that the undead will not have a second assassination, I can't joke with your life." ”

He looked away and said in a deep voice, "Team... There will be other clergy to protect you, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

Then Roddy ignored Sally and explained the rest to Knight Titus: "We will close the city gates as soon as we leave, and we will not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of them." ”

"Understood. ”

Titus looked at the two of them a little strangely, and after Roddy left without looking back, he looked at Sally, and found that she was pouting, gritting her teeth and whispering, "There are other clergy to protect you... With her, you'll start killing me..."

I just had a fight at Akasha's, and I was scolded by Roddy at this time... She rubbed her reddish eyes, she was so aggrieved in her heart that she wanted to rush up and beat that guy hard. But after trying to calm down, she still didn't chase after her willfully and asked to go together, but turned around and went back to the mansion.

Titus scratched the back of his head and stepped forward to let his subordinates deploy their defenses. This was a "special period", so most of the servants in the mansion began to restrict their activities, with the only exception being John, the chief steward, who, on the Duke's orders, went to the pigeon coop at the back of the mansion and sent three letters to Rubens, Benjamin, and Ignaz royalty.

"Mike, I have time to clean the pigeon cage properly, the smell is still a bit big. ”

John casually admonished the servant in charge of the pigeon cage.

"It's... My lord. ”

The servant bowed his head and saluted respectfully, but John did not notice the slightly strange gaze of the other.

At the same time, Sally was stroking her coughing father's back and whispering, "Roddy didn't want me to go on any more adventures, he asked me to stay in the Duke's Palace obediently, saying... That's how I'm safer. ”

She then added in a whisper: "I am not a child again, and I have never been afraid of the infidels." ”

"You... It's clear that Roddy is right, but you still have to blame him. Duke Angmar smiled, he was very familiar with his daughter's "little emotion", "I heard him say, it's normal for you two to have some small conflicts, as long as you can talk to each other in the end." ”

Sally blinked, her heartbeat seemed to miss several beats, she tried to suppress the tension in her heart, and asked, "He... What did he say?"

"Roddy? he said -- it's all up to you. ”

Her father's answer made Sally's heart suddenly excited: Could it be that Roddy meant...

"But you didn't take into account what I said?"

Sally's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "Those things you said are forbidden by the sect." ”

"It's just forbidden on the surface, there are many bishops with illegitimate children, and I don't see anyone dragged to the stake and burned to death. Angmar said, but her expression was a little gloomy: "After all, I did stupid things in the first place..."

There was a sudden silence.

Not being able to see the birth of the next generation of the family is probably the biggest regret of Angmar's life. During this time, he always talked to Sally about Roddy, obviously hoping that the two would "achieve positive results" as soon as possible, and Sally had never responded positively to this, but at this time, holding her father's cold hands, she finally made a decision in her heart.

"Father, the Roussifron family will never be defeated, I swear. ”

Time passed, and as the sun was about to set, Roddy's party had already left the city of Willier and sped towards the destination he had marked on the map.

The word "pollution source" is very vague, but Roddy, who has experienced the "plague", knows exactly what it is, and knows exactly where it is - it is undeniable that this is the advantage of his rebirth, after all, if it is only based on the clues obtained by the Duke of Angmar, I am afraid that this team may not be able to determine the "pollution source" for a week.

At this time, they are like precision missiles, approaching the target in the shortest possible way. A team of more than fifty people sped through the darkening forest path, kicking up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

"Akasha, illumination!"

As soon as Luo Di's words fell, the surrounding scenery was immediately illuminated by the "Holy Light Technique", and the little priest maintained the divine technique, and asked a little nervously, "Will we miss the possible target?"

"I know what to do. ”

Convinced that the "source of the plague" was next to the river at the junction of "Brig Village" and "Tass Village", Roddy led the team all the way in, and took a short break after entering "Tass Village".

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Luo Di glanced at the village under the effect of the "Holy Light Technique", but he was in a trance for a while:

"This village..."

Then he remembered that Evetta had not yet been ravaged by the harsh winters, wars, and civil strife, and that the size of the village of Tass was very different from the dilapidated shape he remembered.

While the team was drinking their horses, the investigating soldiers came over to report the news: "Lord Roddy, the villagers said that the priest of the Rosicrucian has come here and carried out dispersal treatment, and the village has killed two people in total, and more than 100 people who have contracted the disease are already recovering..."

"What?"

Luo Di's voice did not hide his surprise at all, the plague "ten infections and nine deaths" was definitely not an exaggeration, but the current situation... It doesn't seem to match that at all!

But he didn't have room to hesitate to think, looking up at the Wellington knight next to him, Roddy waved his hand to signal the team to leave, and then said: "Wait for the possibility of contacting the enemy, we have to be ready." ”

"Cavalry, get ready for battle!"

Wellington raised his sword, and the knights immediately began to throw away their excess weight and began to advance side by side.

A kilometer away, the black-robed man who was pouring another bucket of green potion into the river suddenly raised his head and asked his companion beside him, "Hey, did you hear anything?"

"What's going on, you're thinking too much, aren't you?"

The pale-faced pharmacist next to him looked overhead and responded, "Anyway, our mission is only until noon tomorrow, and now that it's dark, who else will come here?"

"That's right, the potion has been poured, so go and feed those 'sheep'. ”

"Is there enough corpses?"

"It doesn't matter if it's enough or not, anyway, Lord Wembsk told us to release the 'sheep' tomorrow... Once the council's plan is complete, we just need to wait and see what happens. ”

There was a little excitement in the conversation between the two, but it didn't take long for the stiff faces of the two to show a little puzzled expression at the same time.

"There really is a voice..."

"It's the sound of horses' hooves, a lot of people..."

Turning his head, in the dim moonlight of the woodland, it seemed that a black shadow suddenly appeared spreading out.

And just as they hesitated, the "Holy Light Technique" instantly bloomed, causing the two undead apothecaries to involuntarily stretch out their hands to cover them.

"Sect cavalry?"

"Damn—did these humans find out?"

"Go open the fence!"

The shouts of the two were quickly overshadowed by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and after a moment of stunnedness, they and more than a dozen other undead rushed towards the dozens of wooden cages at the same time...

And in the light, all the charging knights clearly saw everything in front of them.

"Sure enough..."

Roddy's heart was finally hanging back, and everything in front of him was the same as he remembered—he could even see the backs of the undead fleeing in panic.

"Akasha, keep the 'Ring of Purification' at all times!"

"Yes!"

The priest's voice was quickly drowned out by the deafening sound of horses' hooves as he accelerated, and Roddy clenched the battle axe in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly, staring at the screaming figure in front of him as he ran out of his cage.

These enemies are not undead, they have a catchy collective name: ghouls.
