"I just... I just don't want to trouble him. But now that I think about it, it seems like I'm really causing trouble by staying here..."

Naifie felt a little awkward in her heart, of course she liked Roddy to spoil her like this, after all, every girl does not reject the feeling of being held in the palm of her hand, but when this kind of pampering is "excessive"... The consequences are unimaginable.

"Fighting a war is a hassle in itself, you are an arcane, not those wounded. ”

Akasha looked at the girl in front of her, and didn't say nonsense such as "you have to cheer up", but just helped her straighten her robe: "If you have skills, you have to use them, if you have difficulties, you have to solve them, if you don't treat yourself as a child, then do what you have to do." ”

"It's only Roddy protecting you, haven't you thought to protect him?"

This is actually Akasha's inner rhetorical question, from the time she was rescued by Roddy until now, she is actually really practicing this sentence.

Nephie stared at her blankly, as if she had met Akasha for the first time. She nodded as if she didn't understand, and the latter didn't say anything more when she saw this, and after drinking half a bottle of mana potion, she continued to inspect the wounded.

And Nephie quickly came back to her senses, she drew her wand, looked around, and immediately began to use zero-level spells such as "Levitation Technique" and "Mage's Hand" to help the soldiers speed up their actions - one spell after another was released, and many of the slow-moving wounded quickly followed the team, which also made the speed of the whole team speed up a lot again...

At this point, she had finally found her place in the team.

Roddy, who was at the back of the group, didn't notice this at this time, he was anxiously looking at the slow-moving team, thinking about the enemy's movements.

In the past, the team acted in unison, and had never carried so many "burdens" together, and at this time the marching speed he expected was much slower. But there is no way at the moment, if the enemy catches up at the first time, they can only delay this option as much as possible.

Nata had already stepped on a pintail snipe to scout. The role of the Ranger and the flying pet is undoubtedly highlighted in this campaign. The ability of "aerial reconnaissance" gives Luo Di the initiative on the battlefield - even "active retreat" is much stronger than being passively beaten.

Sodrore's face was grim, and Roddy knew that he was actually unwilling to kill Senna, but the current march was important, so no one brought up this topic again.

The Knights of the Dragonlance followed in silence and order, and time passed - twenty minutes later, the team left the edge of the Da Vinci Forest, before Nata's warning.

As they passed by the slaughtered camp, the whole procession did not stop for half a step. Just seeing the heads piled up on the grass on the hill, everyone's faces became extremely ugly. Especially when she saw those aristocratic maidens who had been insulted to death, Catherine and the other nobles' breathing became short...

But no one dared to stop, but accelerated forward. They all know the same thing: if they are caught up by the orcs behind them, they will definitely end up in the same fate.

Lady Luck seems to have sheltered the team, or perhaps the three confident barons who had "blocked the shot" for them. When Godard fought aggressively, he was extremely disappointed to find that these guys were not the "enemies" he was looking for at all - he didn't believe that these rookie private soldiers could kill his elite, so he continued to search after a short break.

By the time the wolf cavalry team finally confirmed that a force of 400 men had left the forest, Roddy and the others had already arrived outside Pacaro City.

The figure of the pintail sand cone streaked across the sky, and the sound of arrows indicated that the wolf cavalry brigade behind had discovered their tracks and would arrive here in half an hour.

But for Luo Di and others, they can breathe a sigh of relief now.

The soldiers gasped and stopped, and the nobles looked at the blue-gray stone walls, silently grateful to the gods of rank. Many people's clothes and armor were already soaked with sweat, Catherine's soles also grinded out a few blisters, and more than a dozen barons and viscounts who followed on foot sat on the ground with pale faces...

Once they entered the city, these wolf cavalry could not threaten them.

With this in mind, a team of more than 400 people rushed straight to the city. However, to their surprise, the city of Pacaro had closed all its gates!

"Guards, open the door, let's get in!"

The anxious nobleman shouted upwards as he spoke, but the soldier standing behind the wall poked his head out, looked at it a few times, and then shrank back, but never responded.

"Guard, I'm Sally Rusifron, lord of Evta, and I command you in my capacity as Duke of the Kingdom to open the gates!"

Roddy, Sodlore, Wellington, Titus and others surrounded Sally to the front, and as a lord, she didn't let her subordinates shout, and directly made a request.

However, in response to her, it was a rather familiar voice:

"Kill her! she's a traitor to the kingdom in collusion with the orcs!"

With these words, more than a dozen crossbow arrows suddenly poured down from the city wall!

Sally's face changed, but she didn't dodge. When the crossbow bolt attacked, at least five shields appeared in front of her, the knight's "Battle Qi" shield, Akasha's "Divine Magic" shield, and Nephie's "Arcane" shield were cast in an instant, directly bounce off all the crossbow arrows.

And Roddy even raised his bow to fight back, killing three guards who were closer!

This kind of counter-killing made the soldiers on the city wall dumbfounded, and their firepower suddenly stopped-

"Kill him! with a ballista! Idiot!"

But there were a few angry shouts on the city wall again, and then the "click" of the giant ballista winch immediately sounded, and Roddy and Sodrol looked at each other, both grim.

They all heard it, and it was Senna who spoke.

"Back off!"

Sodrol immediately led the men back, and Roddy directly replaced the "Burst Arrow" to shoot back, and the accurate arrow blew up the ballista that rotated on the pedestal, and killed several soldiers in operation...

"Kill him! Shoot! Stand up and shoot me!"

Senna's voice was undisguised, and his actions made an unprecedented anger accumulate in Roddy's chest: judging by the other party's behavior of daring to directly tear his face and attack Sally, Pacaro City may no longer be able to become a refuge for this team—and in the wilderness, exposed to the threat of orc wolf cavalry, this team is definitely more than lucky!

This is a typical self-harm to one's own people!

The lord of the city, Baron Panini, has been killed, and Senna is a very prestigious nobleman, and after he and Viscount Anru returned, he quickly took control of the original "city defense army" with four orc heads, and quickly deployed his own soldiers...

So now the city walls are completely Viscount Anru's guards!

Facing two mortal enemies, Luo Di knew that this city gate might not be able to be opened - he wanted to kill the city wall directly, but Paloka City was not a small fortress city at all, the seventeen or eighteen-meter city wall had been standing for two or three hundred years, and it was impossible to go up without siege equipment.

There were more and more soldiers on the city wall, and under the rain of arrows, Roddy could only retreat. However, he continued to shoot under the cover of the protective plates on all sides, and forcibly suppressed the fire of half of the city wall. The team behind them did not stop until they had retreated to a distance of 200 meters.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire team also fell into an unprecedented embarrassing situation.

Except for Sally and the others, the nobles of the kingdom who were rescued like Catherine could not imagine that they would encounter the problem of "having a city that is difficult to enter", and when they came to inquire about the reason, the truth of the matter made most of them silent.

The Mirno family colluded in the assassination plan of the 'Pit Viper Cross'...

Use the mine auction to attract most of the nobles...

Surprise attacks and massacres of orcs ...

The aristocrats never believed in coincidence, and when the gates were closed and everyone was forced to face the situation of the enemy and was linked to the previous one, everyone had to admit one fact: they were all calculated!

"To this day, Senna still has the face to call me a 'traitor'... I don't know who the real traitor is!"

Sally is extremely sensitive to the word, and her brother Francis was in collusion with the orcs to kill herself. I thought that there would be no one in the kingdom who would be so mad, but who knew that Senna would do the same thing...

She was furious, but she was helpless when she was angry—"What now? Are we going to fight the orcs again?"

Looking back, the nobles and soldiers in the team were all dusty, because they were desperately rushing before, and most of them were sitting on the ground gasping for breath because they were tired...

Titus and the Knight of Wellington didn't come up with any ideas, but just pressed their swords forward, silently expressing their loyalty.

Sodrore didn't speak, he was now rich in battlefield experience, so he naturally understood the consequences of fighting a tough battle at this time. Although the "Dragon Lance Knights" are well-equipped and the barbarian infantry are also physically strong, this does not mean that they are all "combat puppets" with unlimited physical strength - soldiers without physical strength are no different from civilians.

But he never spoke, and in this life-and-death situation, if he really wanted to lead his troops forward, Sodrore still would not hesitate.

"Why don't you go and hide in a nearby village?"

"Where is the nearest fortress?"

"Where do we go?"

The nobles who approached were also asking in low voices, but there was confusion in people's eyes - most of them didn't know anything about military affairs, and their judgment at this time was not as good as that of a few great knights.

At this moment, Luo Di, who had always been silent, finally said after scanning the "map bar": "Now is not the time for a battle, even if it is fought, it will be delayed until tomorrow." ”

There was silence all around, and everyone looked at the "temporary" commander.

"Orcs do not move at night because they are generally night blind and stop their pursuit once it gets dark. As long as we don't get caught up before sunset, we still have a chance. ”

His words immediately caused an uproar.

"Really, orc night blindness?"

"How do you know?"

The nobles who had never known about orcs questioned it, but Roddy didn't bother to explain it at all, he jumped off the "train king", used a dagger to draw a simple map on the compacted dirt road in front of the city, frowned and said to Sally and the three great knights: "The orcs are chasing from the north, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon." If we go around the city now, enter the woodland from the southeast and hide our tracks, and then rush back to the 'Da Vinci Forest' in a circle, they will not be able to detect it anytime soon. ”

"Then we headed for the village east of the forest, and if the team could get supplies in the village at night, then early tomorrow morning... The soldiers will have the physical strength to fight back. ”

"It's too risky—"

A nobleman next to him interjected.

"Death or Risk!"

Luo Di directly interrupted the other party's words, raised his foot to smooth out the map, his expression was calm and scary: "Die now or let them die tomorrow, which one do you choose?"

Another: I see people say that the style of writing has become white or how, but I actually don't know what your criteria for judging "white" are, and I have always been committed to constantly changing and improving my writing style. If you are serious, the style of this book will be different when you take out each volume, because I am constantly trying new ways of writing, and if I see a writing mode that readers respond well to, I will immediately copy and fill in it without changing it, which is actually really boring.

I'm not afraid of losing readers after changing the model, because if I don't try, my thinking will be completely imprisoned in the future, and many authors are getting worse and worse the more they write, in fact, it's often because of this, from the author's point of view, I can't stop this kind of attempt, even if you don't like it.
