"Your lord, you can't do this! you will only exacerbate the casualties and cause more deaths of innocent soldiers. ”

In front of the temple of Sarak, Rod, who was about to lead the expedition, was stopped by Lyanna of the Virgin's Heart, and the priestess had a very bad face, she had just given a wounded man a sleeping pill, and her face was sad. Since the construction of the Sarak Monastery, Rhodes has not seen her sorrow.

The reason is simple, the Lord of Blackhammer Fort is going to lead his troops to fight again...... And the target is directly aimed at the most dangerous rock in the forest...... The old butler Muros was right - this is the most dangerous place, people will be injured or even killed at any time, Black Hammer Castle does need the Sarak Sect, but what Lyanna can't understand is that since this is already the case, why does this "mad lord" take the initiative to get more soldiers injured?

"There are always dead people in war. ”

Rod reluctantly returned.

"You can not fight, the soldiers listen to you, don't you?......"

"Ms. Lyanna, I want to say, in fact, I don't want to fight, but those beastmen in the forest outside the city, they will not compromise because of your kindness, they will not fight you because you don't fight him, even if they are defeated now, but one day, they will fight back, the strength of the evil moon is increasing year by year, the strength of the beastmen is also increasing year by year, when we dealt with them last year, their number was only a few hundred, and the high-level beastmen were even smaller, and this year, their number is at least two thousand! Do you know what 2,000 heads are? 2,000 beastmen, if this is a regular army, may not be able to defeat them. Blackhammer's tall walls and a full year of preparation have barely stopped them, but we can't let that happen again. ”

Looking at the priestess's pure, untouched face, Rhodes had an indescribable feeling of bitterness. Lyanna is devoted to religious causes and has a sense of not eating the fireworks of the world. This is good and bad, the advantage is that as the high priest of the monastery, she does not have the heart to fight for power and profit, and she can trust the convent to her. The bad thing is that this girl always thinks everything is too good, but the world is dark and cruel, and there is not so much kindness and mercy.

"There has been a rebellion in Erlengrad, and the Ice Queen's order is that in two days, all the lords of the North must arrive in the Erlengrad region with their own troops to besiege the rebels and the city. And as you saw in this year's Battle of the Evil Moon, the Beastmen are numerous, bloodthirsty and furious, once I bring my troops to Erlengrad, who will defend this town? Who will protect these civilians? So I must take this opportunity, while the Beastmen are defeated and the Evil Moon has just fallen, to completely eradicate them, so that Blackhammer Castle will be safe. Like you said, marching into the Black Forest to find the lair of the beastmen, it may kill people, hurt people, and the pain will come to the world again, but what can I do? ”

Rod explained as calmly as he could.

"Okay...... May Goddess Sarak bless you......"

After talking for a long time, Lyanna reluctantly nodded. At the same time, she was worried about another problem-

"You said the Ice Queen asked you to lead the army to Errengrad in two days?"

"Yes. ”

Rod replied.

"Then you go and kill the beastmen, how can you go in time?"

Lyanna suddenly asked with concern, which made Rhodes very unaccustomed, this was the first time that a priestess had been in Blackhammer Fort for so long, and she cared about her own safety...... But maybe his own safety is related to the safety of the thousands of people in Blackhammer Castle, right?" Rod thought to himself. Baidu

"It's too late, but I have to, for Blackhammer has more than a thousand inhabitants, plus refugees from Errengrad, nearly two thousand people live here. I have to keep them safe, a lord who can't protect his own people, what kind of lord is it?"

Rod replied with a smile. At this moment, in Lyanna's eyes, Rhodes saw another look, a gentle look......

Lyanna gently placed her hand on the back of Rod's hand, and then carefully held the whole hand, the back of her hand was very white, like the daughter of a noble family, but the palm was rough, which was left over from years of operating on patients and doing manual work. The priestess looked at Rhodes and whispered—

"Maybe you're right, they're all waiting for you. ”

Lyanna said, guiding Rhodes to turn his gaze to the people of the convent...... This made Rhodes a little disappointed, originally thought that the priestess had a love for him, and it seemed that the believers who cared more about the goddess...... But that's normal......

"You're the most responsible lord I've ever met, it's just a little bloody......"

She continued.

"There's no way, being born in a place like this, not being violent, not being able to survive. ”

Rod replied with a smile.

......

The preparations before leaving are almost there, except for leaving fifty recruits, Rhodes will take all his troops out of the Black Hammer Castle and go to the forest to find traces of the Beastmen, this time, it is necessary to completely eliminate the Beastmen forces around the Black Hammer Castle, otherwise, every year the Evil Moon will come to a beast invasion, who can stand it...... Year after year, Blackhammer Castle can't get a respite, and it can't really develop. So, no matter how difficult it is, you must make a desperate effort to destroy the gathering center of the beastmen.

Before leaving, Rhodes took another look at the temple of Ersun to be completed, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, it seemed that he had become the chosen choice of Ersun and Thor. So, since Thor also gave himself strength, shouldn't he also build a temple for him in his territory?

However, the construction of the temple is huge, it cannot be completed in a short time, and its cost is also huge......

So, build a small temple first? It's not good, the temple of Ersun is according to the highest specifications that the Black Hammer Fort can bear, the bear god and the god of thunder are as much as helpful to him, the bear god Ersun has given himself an incomparably strong body and recovery ability beyond mortals, and the thunder god Thor has given himself a powerful lightning combat ability, both of which now seem indispensable. No one can be emphasized, and no one can be ignored......

But with limited funds, this is a problem. If there is another temple of Thor according to the specifications of the Temple of Ersun, then Blackhammer will be bankrupt.

Alas, let's talk about it when we get back...... Father Torrey, be considerate and considerate of you, poor God's choice. Rod sighed inwardly.
