In just thirty seconds, Earl Owen profoundly experienced the thrill of falling from "heaven" to "hell".

Gris's unstoppable momentum made the corners of his mouth upturn, but the appearance of Death Entanglement made his sneer freeze on his face.

Earl Durant next to him was speechless, his troops had been stopped by Wellington and Knights Titus - the soldiers were no match for the two Guardian Knights, and they were demoralized almost by just a glance.

The difference in strength is too great, and the strength of Wellington and Titus in the melee is undoubtedly highlighted... In the past, it was impossible to see anything in a single battle, but in the dense environment of the enemy, almost no one could get close to the attack range of the two metal cavalry guns.

From another point of view, these two knights are exactly like two harvesters, wielding their spears and sweeping all the way, completely in a rhythm of touching and flying.

They originally planned to turn around and come to the aid of Roddy, but as soon as they turned around, they saw that Gris was run over by Roddy's troops, so they continued to fight with confidence - they were quite restrained, basically did not use ruthless hands, and after knocking out the enemies who were blocking in front of them one by one, these knights, who were already weaker, quickly lost their fighting spirit, and many of them even stopped, too timid to step forward...

Earl Owen's face turned pale, and his heart was completely panicked - Gris's defeat was completely unexpected, and the fluctuations of "Death Entanglement" almost stopped Owen's heart. As a puppet, he is extremely sensitive to necromancy, so he can't figure out why a delicate beauty can cast "Death Coil"!

What's wrong with this world? She's still using the Holy Shield!

"Necromancy" and "Divine Magic" are completely opposite sides of the spell system, and this is something that everyone knows... But what's going on right now?

But what surprised him even more was yet to come—the "Rosicrucius" troops that Earl Owen was so afraid of were converging in front of Roddy one by one...

The troops carrying the "Rosicruc" banner were distinct, and it seemed that they had arrived from various towns in the territory, but they all had a very uniform movement: they all rushed to the figure with the short bow on his back, and then bent down and saluted...

"He... Who is he?"

Irving and Durant were completely dumbfounded at this moment, they had always regarded Sodrore as their enemy to deal with, but they never thought that it was this inconspicuous shooter who really planned and presided over the action!

Owen immediately sensed that his momentum was gone, and he turned to retreat, but when he turned his eyes to the forest behind him, he saw a large group of more than 300 Templars rushing from Houllier City slowly approaching...

Before he knew it, Owen found himself surrounded by counter-surrounding.

"We've got room to negotiate—"

Durant's voice was interrupted by Roddy's words, and he switched the "title" from "The Last Demon Hunter" to "Captain of the Temple Guard", looked at the words "Successful regional-level recruitment" on it, and said with a sneer: "We don't need any mercy for traitors who collude with the undead!"

The earl wanted to say something, but in the face of the surging Religious Knights, his lips trembled, and his face turned completely pale...

Earl Owen didn't believe that Roddy really dared to kill him, and immediately shouted: "I am an earl nobleman, I have the right-"

"You're an egg. ”

Roddy wasn't interested in giving this guy a chance to talk nonsense, so he waved his scimitar: "Kill!"

Such an arrogant style of acting is not a nobleman's routine at all, but because of his ruthlessness, the lords around him who were originally on the same side as Owen were in a cold sweat in an instant...

Only then did they realize that this seemingly inconspicuous little man really had the right to command all the Templars...

According to the level, this is the energy that only exists at the level of the Overlord.

Count Durant gave up hope completely, and leaned back on the saddle - what about the Earl? The aristocratic system and the sect are two different things, and these religious lunatics will not give any face at all...

Count Owen looked blankly at the Templars, unable to think about what had happened—the territory, the wealth, the women, and the vengeance that had taken place, all of which had completely dissipated with the sound of horses' hooves...

Elonian 588, November 10.

Wounded soldiers groaned in their houses, and hundreds of bodies were dragged outside the town for burial by heavily-paced sappers. The weather was cold, and the corpses were not yet decomposing, but the ravens hovering in the sky were in flocks, and the depressed atmosphere seemed to have cooled down considerably.

There were not many signs of fighting in Kieg, and some of the smashed shop doors had been simply repaired by this time - the atmosphere on the streets was still solemn, because there were no announcements and no nobles came forward, so people were still afraid to go out, and it was impossible to confirm whether there would be another similar war.

In the manor that Ansadin had left behind, Roddy was still writing letters in his spirits - after the battle, all his exhausted men had been ordered to rest, and after discussing the future with Sodlore in the middle of the night, he was the only one left in the study.

Seeing that it was already dark outside the window, Roddy reached out and extinguished the wick, his fingertips were barely perceptible because of the numbness after a long battle, he rubbed his eyes, his gaze swept over the paperweight-like snapping turtle Nokia on the table, exhaled tiredly, and then picked up a few pieces of firewood and threw them into the fireplace, looking at the jumping fire in a daze.

After the battle, it should have been a time of harvest, but Roddy didn't feel much excitement - this battle was completely on the verge of "annihilation", and if it weren't for the adjustments made by several other forces, I am afraid that he would be buried in the mass grave outside...

When he was afraid of attacking, Roddy always felt a deep powerlessness: a few nobles with a few broken knights could almost surround themselves to death, and if it weren't for Ansadine's potion and Akasha's support, this team would not have been able to maintain zero deaths until now.

"It's going to take time... But time is running out. ”

With a sigh, Roddy looked at yesterday's battle and summed up the gains and losses.

This battle made Earl Owen hang up directly... Not only him, but even the two puppet barons were trampled into meat sauce, and they couldn't even put the corpses together. Their death also means that the most important "puppets" in Evta's territory have been uprooted by Roddy.

Count Durant did not die, this is the result of the game between all parties: Titus brought Angmar, to the effect that too many nobles should not die, otherwise it will cause far more trouble than gain. Roddy naturally had no opinion, but when he left, a hidden arrow shot the traitor into a cripple... His temperament of revenge has not changed, and not retaliating is definitely not his style.

Howard and the other barons withdrew in disgrace, and Roddy did not treat them as prisoners of war in exchange for ransom, which was already a face for the Duke of Angmar, but he did not hesitate to deduct half of the baggage brought by these guys - so the three nobles could only break their teeth and roll back to their territory.

The two Guardian Knights are preparing to return today with their party, according to what they convey... The town of Kig was directly divided into Sodrore, and in addition, those knights under Tranca's name were also ordered by the Duke to sign a contract with Sodrore, regardless of how many knights could fulfill it in the end, which was already an extremely generous "reward".

In this way, Sodrore's realm wealth has been placed in the middle and upper reaches of the Efta realm - a big step forward for Roddy's strategic approach.

Looking at the experience bar, after the level rises higher and higher, the 110,000 experience gained from such a large-scale battle is not much, but he is very concerned about the changes in his team after the accumulation - the cavalry team that has fought Ansardine, Magda, and now defeated the traitors of the kingdom, all the scouts have reached the stage of basic level 10, and then he has to start thinking about how to transfer these scouts.

After sitting for a long time, Luo Di hammered his stiff back, and then squatted down directly to continue in a daze, and at this moment, there was a knock on the wooden door of the study.

"Come in. ”

Roddy's voice was a little hoarse, and he turned his head, only to find that it was Nata.

Last night, he apologized sincerely to Brudy again for a long time, but he didn't think that the old village chief didn't blame him, but talked about another thing...

Roddy suddenly thought of the book that Brudy gave him, and for a while he was a little distracted, looking at Nata outside the door for three or five seconds before he reacted, coughed dryly, and asked, "Well, is there something?"

He remembered that Nata hadn't spoken to him since yesterday.

When the wood elf walked in with a cold face, Roddy, who was squatting on the ground, wanted to stand up, but because of the severe muscle soreness, he almost sat on the ground, and it took a long time to get up.

This kind of embarrassment would have made people laugh in the past, but Nata understands what this guy in front of her has done... Rushed into the town with dozens of people to rescue his team, led hundreds of soldiers alone, forced to open a way of escape, and finally gathered all the combat forces and defeated thousands of enemies...

If you don't experience and witness such deeds, I'm afraid no one will believe them.

So seeing Roddy's haggard and tired appearance, she had an unprecedented respect in her heart - before this, Nata admired Roddy's skills and Roddy's archery, but after yesterday's events, she admired Roddy from the bottom of her heart.

Because of such admiration, she decided to come here exclusively, just to say a word to Roddy:

"Teacher. ”

Nata bowed, a title she had said before, but definitely not as visceral as it was today.

In a trance, Luo Di remembered the "iceberg mentor" in his memory.

At that time, he was also "unconvinced" at first for Nata, who had a colder temperament and a more mature face, but after a long period of contact and witnessed Nata's actions several times, he was completely convinced, put away the contempt in his heart, and had a sense of awe in his heart.

Looking at Nata in front of him, Roddy felt like he had seen himself as he once was...

The same indifference, the same pride in the bones, and the same... Awe.
