Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 22 Dark Raid (1)

Although Luo Di was an otaku before he crossed over, he was alone on the mainland, but he could also be called a knowledgeable person.

Miss Sally in front of her is not very old, obviously not yet an adult. But just a few actions and a few words, Luo Di understood that the other party was definitely not a naïve and simple girl. It can even be said that the other party's behavior and speech can already be called a standard aristocracy - the kind of politician who is smart, greedy and unwilling to suffer.

Speaking of which, counting Sodrore, meeting two such smart people in a row is indeed a bit of a headache for Roddy.

He didn't like the feeling that he couldn't control this kind of thing, but he was not the only one in the world who was smart, and in the face of Sally's question, Roddy quickly repeated what he had said to Sodrore before, waiting for the other party's reaction.

Speaking of which, in his consciousness, such a thing as an "orc raid" would only be accepted calmly by a demon-level person like Sodrore, and others would definitely not be so calm. But unexpectedly, he found that Sally also had no extra surprised look after listening to these words.

Roddy began to wonder if he had made a mistake - could it be that the whole world already knew about it, and he still used it as news?

But Sally's next words made him begin to understand. Things seem to have changed unpredictably -

"Captain Roddy, thank you very much for the information, in fact, I was ready to leave here before I came here."

Roddy frowned and looked up, his gaze making contact with the duchess's daughter for a moment. Sally's smile was still the same, and there was no joke at all. There was a hint of pride and confidence hidden in his eyes - Roddy had seen many generals who had such expressions, but there were many powerful lords or nobles.

That's the "big picture" expression.

Roddy found that everything was a little different from what he expected, but now that he had met no resistance from Sally, he had nothing else to say, and turned his head away from the pale-faced butler Hall, Roddy bent down and saluted, silently indicating that he had no more nonsense.

"Thank you for the information, Captain Roddy. I'm just afraid I'm going to leave now. ”

Miss Sally nodded politely, then gave a few orders to the veteran soldier Gerson beside her, still gracefully mounted her horse, smiled at Roddy who raised her head, and turned to leave safely under the escort of the guards.

The duke's daughter's smile was very sincere—if it were someone else, not to mention that she was completely devoted to this smile, I am afraid that she would feel very honored and proud of it. The disparity in identity always makes people have some beautiful associations of knightly poems such as "The Song of Roland", but at this time, Roddy was not half happy, he looked at the back of Sally turning the horse's head and the soldiers leaving straight, and frowned deeply.

No, it's not right.

Turning his head, he saw that Sodlore was working with his men and the scouts brought by Roddy to assist in the evacuation of the villagers. And the Hall steward who confirmed the news was not easy to stop, after all, if something really happened, he could not afford to take responsibility, so he had to ask the servants to help transfer the property of the manor.

Everything seems to be fine, and at the current pace, the villagers of this village will be able to leave the village before midnight, and it is assumed that when the orcs arrive here tomorrow morning, they will only see an empty Finks village.

Thinking of this, Roddy suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of frustration, because his plan seemed completely redundant - it turned out that Sally seemed to have made a decision to avoid it a long time ago, so it seemed that even if the orcs completely ransacked the village of Finx tonight, they would not meet the duchess's daughter...

The clue to the number just now seems to be over, because no matter how you think about it, the orcs can't sneak attack when Sally has already planned. A little frustration gradually rose in his heart, and Roddy found that his worries seemed to be completely blind, it turned out that the duke's daughter was not the idiot heroine who would only scream when she was in danger in the movie, and she was stupid and said a nonsense, and even offended the butler of Finks and the second lieutenant Sodin, who has been kept in the dark so far.

In the end, it's empty, and I'm really not a human being!

"If you care, it's messy, it's still a little tender."

Roddy sighed, and reluctantly commented on his reckless action - not arrogant, not boastful, but must remember where he did wrong and what he did right, this is a habit that Roddy inherited from the game. I helped the horn bow and quiver behind my back, and in my field of vision, the torches lit up the road, and the scouts helped the villagers carry things in twos and threes... Butler Hall was angry and said something to Second Lieutenant Sodlore, pointing in the direction he was in from time to time...

Roddy looked a little depressed, and even the words "Save the villagers of Finks Village (completed)" on the quest bar couldn't make him feel better, and he stepped forward to walk towards the cottage on the other side.

But before he took three steps, his steps gradually stagnated, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Turning around, Sally and several of his soldiers had already left in the distance in the night with torches, and looking at the direction, it should be going to the nearest military aid point, the fortress of Concedon, all of which seemed to be the right choice - to avoid the attacks of the orcs and seek the protection of the fortress in the territory.

But Roddy suddenly discovered... I just got the gist of the problem wrong.

Why did the orcs kill Sally?

To put it mildly, Roddy didn't believe the orcs could understand Sally's status in the kingdom of Karen. What's the use of killing a duke's heir who isn't even an heir? If Roddy were to be the commander of the orcs, he would inevitably choose to raid and kill Francis instead of Sally if he could get the information, because killing her would not have much strategic value for the whole battle.

Who wants Sally dead?

This question is self-explanatory - Roddy's mind suddenly became clear: it was not necessarily the orcs who planned this matter, but it was most likely the Francis who succeeded in usurping power in the future!

Roddy had either witnessed or heard of numerous despicable assassinations before crossing over. There are fights between big guilds, there are fierce fights between players, and there are also between NPCs. Behind every successful assassination is an infinite number of surprises, the closest people, the most trusted people, the most non-existent people, the most harmless people, any one of whom will become the assassin who sends the dagger to the heart.

The cause of Sally's death is historically attributed to the orc raid, but history is often a fog that cannot be seen clearly, and only those who have experienced it can understand what really happened. At this time, as a special existence to rewitness history, Roddy almost immediately thought of what might happen next.

He suddenly asked in a loud voice to Sodlore, who was in the distance, "Second Lieutenant Sodlore!" What is the most suitable location for these villagers to move to? ”

Sodlore, who stopped not far away, stopped, pointed in a completely different direction from Sally's team, and said, "Go to Broy Town." ”

Indeed, it was the best place for refugees, there were enough food resources, there were rivers, there were more than two hundred guards. But what about what happened in history? The village of Finks was raided by orcs, and Sodrore should have survived, but didn't Sally go to the fortress?

Come to think of it, this is the crux of the matter.

"Roddy, what's next?"

Seeing that everything was on track, Carter ran over to ask about the next steps, but he was a little confused when he saw Roddy frowning in distress.

"Assist Sodrore in the evacuation of the villagers and rest in place when they arrive in the town of Broy." Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had made up his mind, and added, "Miss Sally has asked me to follow their party to Fortress Concedon, and if I don't show up at Broy tomorrow, then you and Ruger will lead the group back to Nolan Village." ”

Although he didn't understand why Sally would "name" Roddy to follow, Carter would not doubt anything he said until now, and would only take everything as an order. He turned to report to Ruger and the others, but did not notice that Roddy's figure had almost immediately disappeared from the view of the villagers of Finks Village.

At night, many torches lit up in the village of Finks, and the villagers began to leave the village they had lived in for a long time in an orderly manner, with the help of Sodrore and Ruger and others, although it was a little chaotic, but it was also not inefficient.

Carrying their hastily packed bags, the villagers walked into the distance with a little complaint, the butler was calculating the loss of Lord Kirk, and Sodrol was trying to improve the order of the group, and occasionally someone would turn their heads and look at the place where Miss Sally had disappeared in the distance, sigh at the beauty and grace of the other party, and then continue on their way, not noticing a ghost-like figure that also disappeared into the night.
