282.Chapter 282: Roddy's Choice

Camila slowly raised her head to make sure that no one around her noticed her, and then she got up from the cold ground, ignoring the snow and mud rubbed against her, and hunched back slightly.

On the surface of her body, a thin film used for camouflage is quietly disintegrating, and it is this spell known as the "camouflage enchantment" that allows Camilla to evade the lock and prying eyes of the necromancer, and allows her to evacuate from the battlefield safely.

It's not that Camilla can't defeat the necromancer, but the reason why she can't hold back at this time is because the members of the "Holy Order" rule that they must not interfere in the fight of any unrelated forces... So even if the undead almost killed Camilla just now, she can't take revenge on the other party because of personal vendettas.

Whether you are aggrieved or angry, the coldness of this rule cannot be resisted, and Camilla has experienced this for twelve years, and she has long lost any intention of resisting.

It didn't take long for Camila to return safely to her teammates' location. Because of the battle just now, her image looked very embarrassed, but when she whispered everything she had just seen, no one greeted her even a word, and Captain Spark's eyes swept her coldly, and said firmly: "Continue to lead the way." ”

Although she knew that this would be the result, Camila still frowned slightly. She wanted to speak, but at the thought of her daughter, who might never be seen again, she clenched her fists, tried to take a deep breath, and closed her mouth - whether this trip was a journey of no return or not, as a mother, she was willing to endure any grievances if she could have more hope of reuniting with her daughter...

The battle in the distance was at a fever pitch, and the members of the Sacred Order could even see the human cavalry fleeing as they were being chased on the horizon.

"Mortal battles are always so boring. ”

Sparker dismissed, reached out and took out a uniquely shaped hedron disc, looked down, and said loudly: "The energy of Elson's enchantment is approaching a critical point, we need to speed up our pace, Camila, you-"

"I know how to do it. ”

Raising her hand to pin her messy hair behind her ear, she gagged Spark's words in her mouth and stepped forward.

At the same moment, Roddy and Sodlore were frowning at the scout's urgent report.

"Orcs, how can there be orcs?"

"Lord Baron, those orcs are very strong, the first one--to be honest, I feel even stronger than the Wellington Knights, and the cavalry infantry of the Sola Sentry is completely unstoppable. And those undead knights and necromancers..."

The scout's description silenced Sodrore as Roddy paced back and forth, his voice secretly annoyed, "Where are these demons and monsters..."

The disrupted plan will not make Roddy so irritable, and the "choice" in front of him is the real problem.

It stands to reason that the troops of the Sola sentry were attacked, and they could not reasonably watch the Duke's private soldiers besieged in this way - but war is not a mouthpiece, and now rushing forward, he must be mentally prepared for the whole army to suffer a "heavy blow"...

Luo Di believed in the combat effectiveness of sixty cavalrymen, but he couldn't believe the hundred or so servants... Although they seem to have an army of nearly 200 people, but when it comes to a real fight, can these recruits really stand firm in the face of murderous orcs and undead?

If you can win the battle, the loss will definitely not be small, throw away a few hole cards, abolish half of the soldiers and go to Elson, how can you implement your plan to capture the city?

"!"

He couldn't help but curse - if he didn't support, the soldiers at the Sola outpost would definitely die, and if he sent troops to help, he would probably suffer more losses.

And most importantly, no matter which one you choose, a lot of people will die.

Roddy turned his gaze to Sodrore, but then looked away... On such a issue, he will not ask for other people's opinions, what he wants is not blind obedience, but the real choice of his own heart.

In the final analysis, Luo Di, who is only 27 years old, is not mature, he is an otaku, and he is not "confused" and does not "know the destiny of heaven". By category, he is still an "idealist" - saving the country, saving the woman he loves, and he has always fought for this goal.

But no matter how "idealistic" it is, after all, it will hit a wall and compromise in the face of reality, and when the problem appeared in front of him without warning, Roddy hesitated for the first time.

Sodrore didn't speak, but unconsciously clenched his fists.

Carter, Ruger, Akasha, Nata, and all the cavalry and servants heard the news just reported, and they stood up and set their eyes on the young man who had led them all the way to the sea of blood, waiting for his decision...

Roddy stopped as the pros and cons and inferences lingered in his mind, but he didn't speak, just exhaled slowly, took a silver coin from his pocket, and then reached out and flicked it into the sky.

For a second the silver coin was in the air, Roddy closed his eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly pulled out his dagger and slashed the silver coin that had not yet landed into pieces with a "snap".

Whatever fate was, Roddy had never had such an idea - because the moment the silver shard shattered apart, he had already made a final decision.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Hanks slammed sideways, dodged the sword of an undead knight, and then shouted loudly at the troops in front of him: "Infantry break back! Cavalry break through!"

Neither the undead nor the orcs need to be captured, this is not a human infighting, and giving up at this time means that the infantry left behind will definitely die, but Hanks really has no choice... The impact of the orc wolf cavalry was ten times more ferocious because of the terrible guy with the battle axe, and his own cavalry pressed over like a wave, but he was stunned by the other party to cut a path!

This is a peerless general, perhaps not even the knights of Wellington and Titus!

If it's just an orc, he at least has reserves to go up to. But... What's the matter with so many undead knights and skeletons that suddenly appeared on the side? What about that flying black smoke and bone spear? What about the dead orcs and humans standing up and starting to cut their own people?

This kind of sudden accident made Hanks understand... I was completely planted this time.

The desperate shouts finally got some responses, and the surviving knights began to run with his pace, and the knights who gathered one after another added up to thirty or forty people, but the necromancer always followed, and the other party directly led more than forty undead knights and a large number of running skeletons, completely making a posture of killing them all...

"Run! Run to the forest!"

Chilly and cold, Hanks never thought about his first battle on the border, perhaps the last battle of his life.

The human cavalry and the undead troops left the main battlefield with their front and rear feet, and the orcs, whether infantry or wolf riders, did not have the physical strength to chase them, and the remaining humans on the battlefield were either transformed into zombies after death, or they had already begun to flee in all directions.

"Stop! Gather here! Hurry up!"

Zoro and his mount were stained dark red with blood, and although he had won the battle, he was not in a better mood at all - the appearance of the undead caught him off guard, so much so that he still did not understand the fact that he was "being used by the undead".

Orcs and undead have never been friendly, and if the other party hadn't followed the human cavalry to evacuate the battlefield, he would definitely fight the other party to the end indiscriminately.

But now it's not about how many people are killed, Zoro knows very well what "war" is all about - he is not here to destroy Hanks' troops, but for the food and supplies of Sora's outpost!

"Follow me!"

Zoro always had a bad premonition in his heart when he thought of defending the empty Sola sentry, but when he arrived at the sentry with his team, the "bone spear technique" and arrows flying down from the tower suddenly made him cold...

The sentry was silently seized by the undead!

He wanted to storm it now, but seeing the shadowy figure behind the wooden walls and the mage holding a staff in the tower, Sauron understood... His own troops, who had just experienced a bloody battle, did not have the physical strength to attack the fortified positions, and rushing forward at this time was probably no different from sending them to death.

"Damn it!"

Sauron cursed, but didn't give up - he grabbed the reins of the wolf, turned and led the team out of the undead's attack, and after using sorcery to restore strength and heal the wounds of the remaining orcs, he quickly disappeared into the nearby wilderness...

"Lord Baron, the Sola Sentry has been captured, the orcs have retreated, and the remnants of the human army have been pursued by Master Karl... It's all in your plan. ”

At the foot of the gondola mountain, Belom, who listened to the news reported by his subordinates, had a reserved expression, and nodded with a slight upturn on the corner of his mouth: "Those green-skinned beasts haven't been cleaned up?"

Orcs don't like the undead, and the undead are disgusted with these "stinking brutes", especially the undead nobles, who should be "honored" in Belom's eyes to be able to exploit this group of garbage.

"The message returns... The overall strength of the orcs exceeded estimates, and there were not many losses during the battle, so Master Karl did not direct the fire of battle to the other side... However, in front of the defense of the Sola post, they chose to flee. ”

"Huh. ”

Somewhat bored with the topic of "orcs", Belom waved his hand and asked, "Why hasn't Nelson come back yet?"

Nelson is the necromancer who caused the avalanche in Kars Mountain, and it stands to reason that he should have returned here a long time ago, but he has not heard from him since he sent the message, and I don't know if it was because of the heavy snow or if there was something else.

The soldier could not answer his question, but Belom was in a good mood and was not embarrassed, and after his pale fingers clenched slightly, he spoke up: "I will review the Sola guard in the afternoon, pass on my orders, and let all the soldiers prepare to move their positions." After so long on this hillside, it's time to find a place to stay. ”

Belom slowly stood up, moving his seemingly thin but infinitely powerful body, and continued, "His Majesty Augustine is very concerned about this place, so... Camp at the Sola outpost tonight, and march to Elson tomorrow!"

[Note: This chapter is 3100 words, and there will be no additional charge for the following words.] 】

1。 There is a place that needs to be corrected at the end of the previous chapter: it should be that the necromancer is marching towards the battlefield with the undead knight, and the skeleton soldier is advancing towards the Sola sentry, these two are written in reverse, I was in too much of a hurry last night, I didn't realize it at the time, and I changed it when I saw it today, which is more important, so I would like to state it here.

2。 This chapter is about Roddy's choices, and some people may think of it as "water", but I think it's a very crucial chapter. Every path of a person is chosen by himself, he chooses to be lazy, so he is incompetent, and he chooses to be diligent, so he has a skill. Choosing to fight, choosing to compromise, people make choices every day, and the same is true of Roddy. He is still young, his personality is not fixed, and the unfamiliar world and environment change him all the time. From the beginning of the book, he has low emotional intelligence, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and can even say secondary two, seemingly omnipotent but in fact always in a state of uneasiness.

So I want the reader to speculate and think: what will happen to his personality after countless choices, and what kind of person will he become at the end of the book?

For me, the real joy of writing is that I can see that my characters are growing in their own way, and I am growing and he is growing, and that's what keeps me entertained.

3。 Tomorrow's two watches, asking for a monthly pass in August, does not rule out the possibility of three more, so I ask everyone to give some help.
