Accident, absolute accident.

Roddy stood there for three or four seconds, he had countless predictions about the battle, but he had never imagined that this would happen.

All the plans have been carefully deduced and assumed - even the route of Nata's team back has been rigorously verified and calculated...

"Is it a coincidence?"

Sodrore's voice seemed to come from far away, and it seemed to be muttering to himself.

Roddy didn't answer, he was still in a daze, the people around him were quiet, even Akasha, who lowered her head and silently released the "recovery technique", raised her head and carefully held her breath-

They knew that the next order from Roddy might directly determine the fate of everyone.

"It's not a coincidence... There are no coincidences. ”

Roddy's gaze lost focus for a long time, and when he came back to his senses again, his fingers trembled slightly and he took out a letter from the city of Houllier four days ago, Duke Angmar's handwriting was vivid, and he scanned it hastily, as if confirming some possibility.

But it's useless to confirm the reason now, what Roddy needs to consider is the choice he has to make at the moment-

Now go save Nata and them, or... I'll talk about it when reinforcements come.

Twenty Templars, Henry the mercenary, Nata, the wood elf, and Brudy, who came here for some reason... If they choose to go to the rescue now, they may still have a chance of surviving.

But again, doing so means that you may have to face a large number of enemies, or this may be a trap for the enemy to jump into the pit.

If he chooses to continue with the original plan, Roddy can pretend that he didn't hear Buffon's words, completely abandon Nata and the others, and wait until he has an absolute advantage before making a move.

The two roads in front of us have completely gone to two extremes.

Roddy suddenly remembered the sentence in a certain book that "the king of the battlefield is the cold-blooded butcher", as well as some of his own thoughts when he played the game - Roddy was very strong at the beginning, and he just regarded the "army" in the "war" as a "pawn".

Let the "pawns" die when they should die, and exchange them for victory is a completely natural thing.

But what about when it all becomes a reality?

Lust is lust after all, and it's just a few keystrokes of the keyboard to get addicted to it on the Internet, but when all the burdens are on his body, Roddy finds such a choice... I can't do it myself!

Sacrifice them in exchange for the death of a bunch of Kingdom traitors?

Roddy shook his head slightly, and exhaled slowly.

The soldiers around him had long since fallen silent, and by this time Buffon had already awakened from the treatment, and the weakened Sodrore was answering various questions.

"There were a lot of them, more than two hundred... Blocked us in the forest..."

Listening to these words, the scene in Roddy's mind that he had not long ago approached Magda step by step with a short bow in his hand...

Is a low grade a disadvantage?

If the number of people is small, does it have to be a disadvantage?

The next moment, Roddy's command suddenly sounded in the forest.

"Level 1 combat readiness, set off in three minutes!

Akasha looked up suddenly, as she sensed the never-before-seen momentum in Roddy.

Sodlore and the scouts, however, remembered the last time they had seen Roddy like this...

It was in the Nehemian steppes, after they were counter-attacked by Sarota.

On that occasion, Roddy silently and decisively led a counterattack, luring the enemy deep into the "Swamp of Death" and killing all the enemies...

"I have a plan that is probably feasible. The map was brought over, and the captain came to listen to the order. ”

Roddy got up slowly, the peace of the past disappeared, and the whole person began to give orders in an orderly manner like an indifferent machine-

"Go and take out all the potions you have in your usual stockpile, and drink what you need to drink now. ”

Roddy's command echoed through the forest, and the soldiers carried it out at a rapid pace—the twenty Templar soldiers who had joined the group had also joined the group, holding what they remembered as sky-high "stone skin potions": in order to save a squad of twenty people trapped in enemy formation, all of them had taken potions worth more than a hundred gold coins, which was unheard of.

But what followed was an inexplicable touch in their hearts: such leaders, they were convinced.

As Akasha got up, Roddy's order came as well: "Take all the scrolls and potions, and follow the group on horseback." ”

"Good!"

Akasha, who had always been a little timid in her voice before, answered very crisply at this time.

It's just that Roddy didn't bother to pay attention to these at all, he reached out and took the map that Sodrol brought, dragged the awakened Buffon up, and held a pre-war meeting with Ruger and others-

“... This street passes through, we can't stop moving, I have a way to keep the enemy in for a while..."

"The retreat route is here, no one should stop, I will cut it off. This is a military order. ”

Sodrore stared at the map for a long time, and only asked one question: "Why are you running south?"

"It's a little closer to Hollier. ”

Roddy answered the question with a blank face, and after tucking Angmar's letter into his pocket, he glanced at the experience he had originally left to upgrade to the "basic level", and raised his hand and clicked the "upgrade" button next to the words "Demon Hunter".

The battle log bar immediately displayed a message:

After a brief check of the skill information, Roddy filled the quiver with twenty-four arrows, hung two additional quivers and a bulging bag on the saddle, and when he turned over and mounted his horse, all the soldiers around him were completely ready.

Roddy still had the same grim expression, and before getting up and getting on his horse, he pressed Buffon, who wanted to follow him, back.

"I'm going to get revenge, Henry is over there..."

Buffon tried to get up, but Roddy shook his head, and asked him to sit down again with an expressionless face, staring into the distance, as if to say to himself:

"To tell you the truth, I'm a grudge-minded person. ”

"And after they provoked me, the matter of revenge... I'll just do it. ”

A few kilometers away, all the lords who had come to Kieg were collectively questioning Count Owen's actions.

Kig Town said that it was not big, the men and horses of the seven lords were surrounded outside, and it was clear to everyone that there was a disturbance, and in such a situation, the battle that took place in the early morning naturally could not escape the ubiquitous eyeline.

"I don't know what Earl Owen means by this, is it a show of force to us?"

"If I have to use force, I, Howard, will be there for me. ”

"That team doesn't seem to have any grudges against Earl Owen, do you?"

Earl Owen, who was dressed in ornate armor, still had a calm face, and when they had almost spoken, he replied with a smile: "You don't need to be so nervous, catch this team because they attacked my baggage convoy." ”

Such words are said, regardless of whether they are true or not, after all, they are a valid reason.

"Raid on the convoy? What's going on?"

It was Earl Durant, who had just arrived this morning, and there was a little anger in his eyes... Half of the reason was that the Assassin Shaun had not heard from him, and the other half was because his butler had been killed in the tent last night, which made him as angry as Viscount Howard, and even more unconsciously suspicious of all the lords around him.

Owen's smile was a bit playful, explaining, "I don't know exactly why, but it's clear that the guys behind this team are trying to cause me some trouble. ”

"Whose people?"

"It's a baron named Sodrore, I don't know... Has anyone heard of him?"

"The nouveau riche who just canonized the baron. ”

"Small roles, don't bother at all. ”

This kind of perception is a consensus, and Earl Owen shrugged helplessly: "So, I don't know how I provoked him, and I was dealt with by such an inferior trick, hehe." ”

The more he said this, the more the other lords pricked up their ears to listen, and this hand "wanted to capture" Earl Owen's play, and soon transferred the "hatred" away.

The suspicion of the lords was already lacking a target to pour out, and the appearance of the name "Sodrol" almost immediately became the object of suspicion, although no one said it explicitly, but it was clear that they all secretly kept the name in their hearts...

The atmosphere outside Kieg is tense, but inside it is barely maintaining normal order.

There are still these open shops on the street at this time, but the business is naturally very ordinary, and occasionally there are cloaked figures coming in and out, all of them leaving quickly, for fear of provoking those knights who are walking sideways in the town.

However, in this case, there was always a short man standing in front of a leather goods store, standing from morning to night for several days, as if waiting for someone.

This guy is the same Master Su Lun who promised to harden the leather armor for Roddy.

More than a week ago, Roddy, who was holding the skin of the "Fire Thorn Iguana", paid Suren a pot of fine wine to obediently go out of the mountain to dispose of the hard armor skin for him - but when the appointed time came, Roddy did not have time to come here to pick it up because of the various attacks of these lords.

Luo Di didn't feel anything, because now even if he took the armor piece, he couldn't immediately make it into leather armor to wear, but this kind of "no-show" made Master Su Lun extremely uncomfortable...

He is a lifelong drinker, and it can even be said that he has reached the point of "addiction". And since drinking the bag of wine that Roddy brought, Suren has completely fallen, because that bag of wine is not enough to drink!

"Why don't you come yet... Why don't you come yet..."

The figure of Broken Thoughts looked left and right, but he couldn't wait for the figure that could bring him good wine, but it didn't take long for him to wait for a large group of soldiers to pass through the center of the town...
