"I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have time to answer them right now. Roddy didn't bother to pretend to be a scout at this time, and said without much respect in his tone: "Once that traitor Francis makes a decision, the consequences will definitely not be as simple as a group of orcs attacking, now." Either wait here to die, or listen to me and leave here, which one do you choose?"

He looked up at the horizon, trying his best to catch any movement that might occur in the wind, reached out to take Sally's palm, and added, "If you go, squeeze my hand and make a decision quickly." ”

This series of words made Sally a little stunned, and she realized that Roddy seemed to think that she couldn't speak, but in fact, her silence was completely caused by the shock of Roddy's strength...

Sally, who had always been calm and victorious in the past, was in a complicated mood at this time, and after a few seconds of hard work, she gradually calmed down, and realized that she had no room for reserve at all now - although her face was a little blushing, she still bit her lip and pinched Roddy's fingers.

"That's... Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Roddy pointed his finger at Sally's chest and abdomen, internal injuries to the internal organs in these two places are easy to cause death, he must confirm that the other party has no internal injuries before daring to move her, otherwise it is not impossible to help the other party "help" to death.

Sally didn't quite understand what he meant because of the pain of the shoulder reduction, after all, a noble lady who had never been exposed to the concept of "medicine" since she was a child would not understand how fragile the internal organs of people are, and for a few seconds, she felt that she seemed to have some pain in her shoulder and back when she hit the ground, and everything else was normal, so she shook her head.

However, she soon regretted her move—and without saying a word, Roddy picked her up from the ground. There was no pressure on the two powerful arms to support Sally, who weighed maybe only about eighty pounds, and Roddy didn't look at her expression at all, and moved her from the broken leg of the war horse and a pile of orc corpses to a low hillside, gently lowered it and ran back to the battlefield, and quickly took his horned bow and scimitar, and roughly searched the trophies left by these wolf cavalry.

Sally, who was sitting more than ten meters away, had a lot of questions to ask, but at this time, she could only close her mouth and watch him go about his business. Despite her age, she was so active that she wouldn't have risked her life to collide with the wolf cavalry - because Sally knew that if the scout captain who came to her aid died, she wouldn't be able to escape the orcs, no matter how far she ran.

Most of Roddy's battle fell into her eyes, and although the light was dim, Sally was aware of an indelible fact: the scout captain in front of her, who had no sense of existence, had indeed killed an entire team of wolf cavalry.

Sally is very proud in her heart, as the heir of a great nobleman in the Northwest Territory, "pride" has become almost instinctive - whether it is temperament or brain, she has done her best in the process of growing up. It's just this sudden incident... Or the "crisis" that Sally thought she could get through safely gave her the biggest blow in her life.

Regardless of the outcome, Sally admits that she has failed, and that this failure has led to death, although she has only had a vague idea of it. It's just that today, the sacrifice of old Gessen and those soldiers has made her begin to understand: in this cruel world, no one will stay on their own turf, let alone say any mercy when plundering...

When Roddy came over with a roll of linen bandage in her hand, Sally seemed to have figured out something, her lips that had been pursed opened slightly, looked at Roddy whose blood had coagulated on her face, and said loudly: "Please give me a reason for you to do this, Captain Roddy." ”

Luo Di raised his head noncommittally, and ripped off the bandage in his hand: "Huh?"

"It's... What a reason for you to follow my ranks and at such times. Saved me?"

Faced with his question, Roddy bit off the plug of the water bag, and after pouring his saliva, he squatted in front of Sally and handed the water bag in his hand - "I won't say much nonsense, the reason is actually very simple... I'm smarter than you. ”

Sally, who was hesitating whether to take the water bag or not, froze slightly, stared at Roddy for a full five seconds with complicated eyes, and finally raised her hand to take the water bag, raised her neck and poured it several times. This gesture did not look like a noble girl at all, but it was indistinguishable from these soldiers in the barracks.

After drinking the water, Sally threw the water bladder to Roddy, and all kinds of emotions were forcibly suppressed by her, but she could see that she was a little discouraged.

Roddy straddled the water bladder to his waist and asked, "Can you walk?"

Sally pouted slightly, stubbornly not wanting to deal with him, gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but found that her left leg hurt so much that she couldn't hold it, and sat back again. Roddy frowned, and without thinking about it, he reached out and lifted her skirt, looked at the red and swollen abrasions on his knees, and muttered, "What a trouble..."

Sally next to her was almost stunned, and the blush spread to her neck, and she opened her mouth to scold this rascal bastard, but found that she didn't know what to scold - because it was the first time she had seen a guy who could lift someone else's skirt with a serious face without changing her face, and for a moment her head was a little short-circuited...

What does this bastard think of himself?!Is he just a sculpture in his eyes?!

This idea is actually seven or eight points close to the truth, Roddy now seems to be silent and calm, in fact, his mind is very chaotic, while considering the probability of the possible appearance of the enemy, and on the other hand, he has to calculate what direction he will go from if he evacuates, what he will face in the future, etc., etc... For the girl in front of him,He subconsciously still treats it as an "NPC".,In the previous games,The character represented by Sally is basically used to drag down the team - "escort missions" are always like this.,Make an NPC that is easy to die and make you go to great lengths to protect her or something....

There are so many messy worries about this, where can Roddy take care of lifting his skirt when he checks the other party's wounds?

With a plan in mind, Roddy raised his hand and threw the horned bow to Sally. The latter looked up at him through gritted teeth, a little unclear. But then I saw Roddy turn his back and squat in front of him...

"Hurry up, there's not much time. ”

Roddy couldn't think of any other way to get out of here, and he didn't even think about Sally's mood at this time - in other words, tech nerds were inherently slow to deal with women.

Anyway, "destined to be lonely for a lifetime" has not been heard less, and Roddy also admits that he is not a romantic material, and now the only thing he wants to think about is to get out of here quickly and escape with his life.

Sally's heart was probably roaring over 10,000 alpacas at this time, but she also found that she had no other choice. The words that had been brewing for a long time finally swallowed, pursed his lips, and slowly climbed onto Roddy's broad back, his hands around his neck, his body stiff as wood.

What she asked between her breaths was the smell of blood and sweat, and Sally frowned, although she was not used to it, but when she thought of the battle just now, she didn't have much repulsion in her heart.

Roddy still has plenty of strength until now because of the upgrade, he looked at the northwest grassland where the orcs might appear behind him, and then looked at the direction of Hollier City in the southeast where Sally was going to go, and began to march to the northwest.

Sally, of course, had studied the map of the territory, and she looked at the dim horizon, and after a long time, she finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "You... Where are you going?"

Although Roddy couldn't run, his steps were very big, and his speed was not much slower than that of ordinary trotters, and his mind was full of wonders how the orcs would outflank him here, and he replied without thinking about it: "It's Francis who wants your life now, and the orcs are just tools to be used." If he runs to Houllier now, the old dog will definitely be intercepted by troops, and if he wants to escape, he will definitely have to bypass these places. Francis was thoughtful, and it was hard to get out of his nose, so I had to try as best I could. ”

"You... You know my brother well?"

Sally frowned, she wasn't stupid, a young man who had probably never been to Holier called her brother "Old Dog" and looked like she knew his character well, which was not normal.

Luo Di took a deep breath, and he finally swallowed back the words that came to his lips, walked faster, and said, "I haven't seen your brother." ”

He didn't want to say anything more about this issue, so he turned to his next plan: "Francis is waiting for news at this time, I guess he will not be at ease knowing that you have run away." The first step to avoid him is to go around the outskirts of Vic's village and into the Silent Glades, otherwise I won't be able to outrun the cavalry on the plains. ”

Sally silently hugged Roddy's arm, her dislocated shoulder didn't hurt much, although she was still a little ashamed of Roddy in her heart, but after listening to these words, she felt that the other party didn't seem to be at fault at all, she thought about it and asked, "Vic Village? There he is. ”

"I know, I can tell the way you came. ”

"Then why are you..."

Sally's question went low, and she obviously understood why, and after a moment, she asked, "And then, the Silent Glades is not a peaceful place, and my father told me that there are many great beasts there." ”

"I'll send you back to Hollier eventually, but it's going to be a bit of a twisty road, but it's the only way to get back alive. Roddy ignored how dangerous the beasts of the Silent Woodland were in Sally's mouth, and instead said about his imagination of the future situation in the Empire: "What if... I mean, what if... You wonder why I'm risking my life at any time to do this for you, and now—before I might die with you, I can tell you why. ”

Sally couldn't see Roddy's expression, and she just felt that the young man's tone was suddenly a little solemn as she was lying on Roddy's back.

"Why?"

She was genuinely curious.

When the question was asked, she could feel Roddy's footsteps pause and his body stop...

"Heh... Believe it or not, I did it just to make the country... It will not be destroyed in the hands of a group of brutes in the future. ”
