In the early morning of June 19, the Monastery of the "Rosicrucifix".

Compared with the extravagance of the aristocracy, Sally's life can be called completely peaceful, of course, such "calm and calm" is only the appearance.

At the front of the monastery is a cathedral, a public area accessible to the citizens of the city, while the nuns in the monastery are not allowed to begin their activities until they pray every morning. As a "candidate priest", Sally's current status is still a "nun", so her status in the convent is not as high as she imagined, and she needs to do a lot of daily work, including cleaning the church floor, cleaning the house, and helping the bishop to sort out the papers.

For the aristocracy, such a thing seems to be a bit "cheap", but as the daughter of the duke, Sally still adheres to the doctrine and works hard to do these "lowly" jobs that ordinary people see... As a result, the monks and priests, who had been mostly commoners in the monastery, soon abandoned their prejudices and developed a lot of affection for the beautiful Miss Sally.

As a result, Sally quickly built up contacts in the monastery - she could not offend anyone, and she could handle all human relationships with ease, which was easy to say but quite difficult to do. Sally, who was only sixteen years old at the time, really showed this ability.

This is something that Roddy had never seen before.

After noon, Sally, dressed in a white cloak, walked out of the house at the back of the convent as usual, and entered the antechamber of the church at noon.

Bishop Benjamin had bluntly warned Sally not to step out of the convent, so the vestibule was already at the limit of her range of activities. As she walked in, the warm summer breeze was slowly blowing in front of the foyer, and the girl raised her head, squinted her eyes and looked ahead, her slightly clenched fists clenched.

No one noticed that what she was holding in her hand was not the temple's iconic "Rosace Cross", but a small, chic dice.

"May the gods watch over you. ”

Whispering the motto of the Temple, Sally greeted the devout believers, stepped into a seat in the corner of the antechamber, and began a second prayer that no other monk would do.

Sally had been doing this for more than a month, and it might have seemed to others to be a sign of her piety, but after ten minutes of prayer, a blind old man groped his way and sat down beside Sally, and began to whisper a prayer as well.

It always happened that the crippled commoner begged the gods to relieve his ills, so the old man did not attract anyone's attention - and when he had finished speaking, he trembled with his cane and tried to get up, when Sally on the side noticed this, and immediately got up to help the old man.

Such a thing seemed normal to others, but no one would have noticed that the blind old man had chosen a route that largely avoided everyone in the church as he walked forward, and when Sally helped him, no one noticed the nun's expression and the soft words that came out of her mouth.

"It's all done?"

"Mademoiselle, Francis's attention is currently on Viscount Terry's side, and it is estimated that the next target will be Baron Ford, and we have done a good job of perjury, and his men will soon be hooked. ”

"Well done, keep it up. ”

"There has just been news that Bishop Rubens seems to be coming to the territory of Ivota in the fall, and it should be appropriate for Bishop Benjamin to meet, and in time your priesthood should be confirmed. ”

"Well, I've confirmed the news. ”

Sally smiled, barely moving her lips, "Any news over there?"

"The Duke hasn't been active lately, and he's still staying in his study. ”

"Not the Duke's Palace, I mean... Nolan Village. ”

"Someone has been sent, but there has been no response yet, because we are afraid of being targeted by Francis's people, and it is estimated that it will be about seven days before there is news. However, I just got the news that the village of Kree, not far from Nolan Village, was attacked by orc wolf cavalry... There are no survivors. ”

The old man's words were indiscible, and when Sally heard the news, the fingers that were gently holding the other party suddenly clenched.

“... Kerry Village?"

"The cavalry of the fortress of Conceton went to make a show, and thought that they had gained nothing, but they picked up five or six wolves from the prairie, and it seemed that the wolf cavalry had retreated, and had left behind the wolves. ”

Sally listened to the sudden news, but her mind remembered the guy who had brought her back to Hollier City safely - for no reason, she thought of some possibility, and she immediately asked, "How many wolf cavalry are there?"

"The news from the village of Kerry is probably less than forty. ”

"So much..."

Sally's idea was immediately overturned - no matter how she thought, that guy couldn't have killed so many wolf cavalrymen, after all, killing those ten wolf cavalry in the first place almost killed him. Now all I have to do is to prevent Francis from finding him...

Unconsciously, the two had come to the front hall door, Sally stopped, softly told the old man to pay attention to the road, and his fingers had no trace of a folded parchment stuffed into the other party's hand, and the blind old man thanked him again and again, bowed several times, and then slowly walked into the distance.

Sally didn't stay in front of the door for long, her eyes wandering over the two napping Templars, and although she knew that Francis didn't have the guts to sneak up on her in front of the temple, she didn't trust the guards at the monastery gate.

If you want to feel safe, I'm afraid I feel more at ease when I'm next to the guy with the horned bow on his back.

It's been a long time since I've experienced the ease of not worrying about danger at all, and when Sally thinks of Roddy, she can't help but feel a little nostalgic in her heart - but as for "missing"... Sally quickly denied the word inwardly, twisting the bone dice with her fingertips, and her face turned red involuntarily when she remembered that this thing was also given by him.

"If you can't beat it, don't fight, don't have an accident..."

With a soft sigh, Sally finally felt that she was still relieved - the parchment she handed her subordinate had already laid out all the next measures and efforts to be taken against Francis, including how to continue to mislead her brother, cover up the anomaly of the Nolan Village scouts, let her power grow quietly outside of Francis's sight, and even form a special team to protect herself from all aspects.

At the same time, Sally is still concerned about her father's condition, speculating about what Francis will do next.

The so-called struggle has never been just a simple case of you fighting me and I beating you, especially between nobles, every time a conflict similar to an assassination occurs, it means that the plotters have made countless preparations and then erupted.

Sally's last negligence nearly cost her life, so when she once again gained a foothold in the monastery, the young duchess's daughter would not simply "sit idly by".

Eyes swept across the street outside the church gate, and the eyes of several surveillance Sally laid by Francis were clear in her eyes, and there was no concealment at all.

"Hmph. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and in front of the church, when the young nun turned around, the warm smile reappeared on her face, and she returned to the interior of the church indifferently

Seventeen days after the end of the battle to exterminate the wolf cavalry, June 21.

The warm summer breeze blows through the quiet village of Nolan, and the farmers in straw hats crouch in the shadows of their houses to rest, and occasionally look out of the village with their hands on the pergola—outside the entrance of the village, more than thirty scouts are constantly practicing charging on their horses, and occasionally they let out a few cheers and applauds when they see a soldier chopping a scarecrow with precision and sharpness.

When more than thirty war horses galloped, the smoke and dust were loud, and they saw a lot of such a battle, and their panic because of the wolf cavalry slaughtering the village gradually calmed down.

Ever since there were 15 more able-bodied young men in the village 17 days ago, the villagers have seen these young men desperately exercising throughout the day: running 10 laps in the morning and evening, and shouting slogans such as "one, two, three, four," "one,two one," and "exercise and defend the motherland." You can hear them singing at night, the lyrics are strange, they say something like "unity is strength" or "we are soldiers" or something like that... The peasants had never heard a song of this tune, but after listening to it a few times, they felt that it was catchy, and it was as if they had been brainwashed and they had been haunted by these melodies all day long.

Up to now, the farmer with the hoe will even hum two sentences in the field, "Sunset West Mountain Red Glow" or something, shaking his head and walking by, quite a feeling of self-satisfaction.

For this situation, Luo Di actually didn't expect it himself - after all, listening to these farmers sing Chinese songs in Bringa really wanted to laugh, but after getting used to it, his mind kept coming up with messy lyrics, making him feel that "military songs" were really not covered.

Speaking of which, since leading the team to completely wipe out the wolf cavalry led by Cosa, Sodlore and his subordinates were completely convinced, and there were no longer any superfluous objections to the formation and leadership, and it was obvious that the shock of that battle would affect them for a long time - and under such influence, Roddy began a new training program.

The so-called "new plan" is actually an enhanced version of the previous "military training": starting from the housekeeping of the dormitory, to walking in unison and taking a break, what Roddy wants to instill is the concept of "order and prohibition". It sounds natural to get soldiers to obey and carry out orders, but in this era, most people still don't realize the importance of this - on the battlefield, if any order is not strictly followed, the consequences will be unimaginable, so starting from this basic consciousness is also the practice of many major guilds in the beginning.

What Roddy did was similar to those strong PVP guilds at the beginning.
