The edge of Kieg Town.

At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, the manor that originally belonged to Ansadine was quite degraded in the autumn wind.

There are some cracks in the wall, and the soil on the stone floor has not been cleaned for a long time, and the original smooth and smooth shape can no longer be seen, but it has turned yellow-brown because of a few rains, and the weeds grow in the cracks, and there is no summer vigor, and at this time it is wilted and yellowed.

In this atmosphere, Akasha was strolling around the back of the manor—she wanted to go to the back garden, but when she saw the rocks all over the ground, she couldn't help but think of the battle between Magda and Roddy, hesitated for a moment, and finally dismissed the idea, and turned to walk in the other direction.

In the past few days, Akasha can feel that she is gradually adapting to the role of "follower" - from taking the initiative to do some "housework" at the beginning, to accepting some tasks like Ruger and others, Akasha, who was originally a little vague about her position, finally found her place...

Roddy doesn't treat her with special privileges, but she also treats her as a trusted "teammate", just like Ruger, Carter, and Sodrore, who never hides things, and even arranges tasks for Akasha to carry out after the next plan is set-

Being trusted, recognized, can help Roddy... This feeling is exactly what Akasha needs.

While this kind of subordination is not considered free to most people, for Akasha, there is an inexplicable sense of "happiness" - of course, there is a reason for this thought.

After the events of the ruins of Wagra, Akasha could clearly detect a change in her feelings about Roddy.

I can't say why, maybe it's more "gratitude", Akasha always feels that Roddy's figure is imprinted in her soul. Maybe there was admiration, fear, adoration, or a lot of emotions that she didn't know herself, just as she always had to look up at the gate of the manor at this time, and unconsciously, Akasha was always inexplicably looking forward to seeing Roddy's figure.

When Roddy wasn't around, Akasha would always look up at the ring in her hand, and even in the daytime, when there was no darkness, the warmth that dispelled fear seemed to radiate from it, making her feel relaxed and calm.

When she raised her head, Akasha found that she had been standing silently in front of the manor for a while, and this scene gave her some illusions: she was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home, not the kind of lord who hugged back and forth, but the most insipid couple, like the wife of the Orion in the village in her childhood, with the cooked food on the table, and perhaps a not very good-looking earth dog lying at her feet, so looking forward to her husband's return every evening...

Growing up, Akasha's understanding of "feelings" was actually extremely limited, and the scenes she could imagine in her mind were limited to the couple in the village in her childhood memories. As for what "romance", "passion" or "ambiguity", "confession" and the like, she basically has no concept, in her heart, perhaps only the kind of bland that is like each other can really be called "love".

While thinking about it, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance abruptly interrupted Akasha's thoughts, Akasha squinted her eyes, her originally calm and docile expression suddenly became serious, one hand released the "Holy Shield" with great speed, her eyes first looked at the seemingly calm buildings around her, and after confirming some information, she coughed lightly twice and walked a few steps towards the gate of the manor, looking like she was waiting for the group of knights rushing over.

A cavalry squad of ten people galloped in, unfamiliar faces showing indifference, war horses neighing, and looming weapons flashing coldly.

They were extremely fast, obviously taking this manor as a target, and rushed to the manor almost non-stop, and when they saw Akasha standing alone, they grabbed the reins one by one-

"Clergy, are you a priest in Hollier?"

The knight at the head was a little surprised, he could see the light on the surface of Akasha's body, so the cruel thoughts in his heart were suppressed for the time being...

"Where are you from? What are you doing here? Are you in collusion with the undead?"

Akasha's words were too straightforward, making the faces of the ten knights instantly become extremely ugly, they looked at each other, and the politeness that was originally disguised completely dissipated, directly pulled out the long sword, and said viciously: "You naturally don't care where we are from, but ask us what we do... I'm here to send you to hell!"

The whole team suddenly made a posture of charging forward, in their eyes, although such a clergyman killed trouble, as long as they did not leave a trace, killing was killing, and no one would find out about them.

"The catacombs are inside, go burn there!"

"The house next to it has also burned down!

The shouting was cruel, and the leader had already pointed his sword at Akasha.

Akasha took a few steps back again, and moved silently towards the mansion, and the ten knights entered the manor in a disorder - but just as they were about to burn the house and kill Akasha, there were suddenly more horses' hooves behind the manor!

"What's going on?"

"There's an ambush!"

"Damn it!

While speaking, the scout cavalry regiment that had gathered forty people had already accelerated into a state of charge, and then pushed this group of guys flat on the spot without hesitation!

Akasha had already cooperated with these cavalry skillfully, several shields were added to the cavalry in front of her, and when the huge collision and screams rang out, her expression remained calm, and she was no longer afraid and nervous...

Looking at the group of arrogant and abnormal guys who were still in front of him just now and were drowned in the cold light brought up by the blade, Akasha stood in front of the mansion and slowly exhaled as if relieved.

"This is the third batch, Roddy said there are at least five batches, so... How many will come next?"

Most of the cavalrymen who were wailing happily were killed and wounded, and the guy who had just shouted for Akasha to go to hell fell to the ground with blood on his face, and when he tried to get up, he happened to see Akasha who was silently whispering, he looked around, and felt a cold to the bones for the terrible knights who suddenly appeared, and opened his mouth to say something, but he heard Akasha over there giving orders to those knights in a cold voice-

"Roddy said that such people have no value in existence, so..."

Still that weak look, Akasha never thought that she would one day say such a "cruel" order, but even though there was resistance in her heart, when she thought that everything was a task arranged by "Roddy" for herself, she still bit her lower lip lightly and waved her hand to cut down...

"Such traitors must be dealt with. ”
