Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 244 Auntie? Sister!
"Lord Duke......"
Matilda raised her hand and interrupted the adjutant's report, "Do what you have to do." ”
"Yes!" The adjutant hammered his right fist in the heart position and saluted and retired.
Matilda looked at Rog with interest, hugging him left and right, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
"Uh...... Lord Matilda, do you have something to do with me? Rogge is not thin-skinned, but he is a little unbearable to be stared at by this strong woman.
Matilda casually sat down next to Rogge and said, "You've figured out I'll show up nearby with the Viper Knights?" ”
"Well, based on the speed of the heavy cavalry, it is not difficult to deduce that the Viper Knights are just east of Garin City."
When Rog passed by the Garin Orphanage and arrived near Garin City, he observed the number of monsters and found that even if they went to help, they would not be able to save the city.
Garin City needed reinforcements, and Rogge thought hard and found them.
Among all the spirit beasts, the fastest flying speed is not Canxing and Xuanqing, but the spirit king-level thunder spirit carving thunder. Moreover, Lei Yin's eyes are extremely sharp, and the reconnaissance range is large, so he can find the troops on the ground faster.
So Rog asked Madeleine and Rayne to find the Viper Knights at the approximate location he had deduced, and led them over to relieve Garin.
Matilda was amazed and said, "Rogge, you are amazing. ”
Rogge remembered the question he hadn't thought of yet, smiled self-deprecatingly, and replied, "I'm nothing great, I just think a little more than others." ”
Matilda's experience is so rich, you can see at a glance that Rogge has something on his mind.
The mighty Duchess comforted him: "Rogge, I don't know what you're struggling with, but if you look closely, the amazing little girl in your arms, as well as the brightest new star of our empire, all trust you immensely. Your companions also believe in you, what else do you have to worry about? ”
"I've seen a few people like you, but they're too smart to see themselves clearly."
"It's still the Duke who lives well."
"I just live longer than you, I'm old, ugly, I can't fight these little girls if I want to." Matilda glanced at Rog with an aggressive gaze.
"Uh...... The Duke is still beautiful. Rogge said a polite word, but it was actually the truth.
Matilda, who wears battle armor, definitely deserves the word heroic, and her appearance at the age of thirty coexists with fortitude and beauty, and she has its own merits compared to Filia.
"As for me, it's still not as good as it used to be. Think when I was young, I hooked my fingers casually, which man couldn't catch up? I'm no worse than your Philia. ”
"I can imagine how beautiful you used to be, but now you are even more impressive to me. Thank you, Lord Duke, for coming to your aid and saving the city of Garin. Rog thanked Matilda earnestly.
Matilda returned the salute solemnly and said, "I just want to thank you for Garin and the entire Northwest Empire, if you hadn't let that little girl riding a spirit eagle come to me, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened." If this is allowed to rampant in the past by the Demon Beast Group, not only Garin City, but also the Northwest Front will collapse. ”
"Lord Duke......"
"I said, call me Matilda."
“…… Matilda, you don't seem surprised by the behavior of these monsters? ”
Matilda is a person who can see through people's hearts, and Rogge is not bad. If ordinary people saw the abnormal condition of this demonic beast, they would definitely ask about it as soon as possible. But Matilda didn't, which means that she already understood.
Sure enough, Matilda said, "I've known about the alien crystal infestation. Rogge, I'm the one who grew up watching Charles, and if he can't trust me, then there won't be anyone in the empire he can trust. ”
"Did Emperor Charles expect the outbreak of the Warcraft tide?"
"No, if there is, it won't let the academy continue to compete."
"Then we'll have to tell him the news."
"You don't have to worry about it, Charles has his own intelligence channels, and what happens in the country, not to mention everything under control, is almost the same." Matilda looked at Rogge curiously, "You shouldn't be unaware of that. ”
Rogge closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows with his hand and said, "I'm a little tired." ”
After fighting all night, and now in a state of sharing half of the Flame Sun Soul's counterattack, Rogge's mind was a little confused.
"Then do you want to lie on my sister's lap for a while?" Matilda patted her thigh.
Rogge was full of excitement, his mind instantly cleared up a lot, he glanced at the leg of his big sister who was more than a hundred years old, and felt that although it was very reliable, it was not suitable for him.
"Uh...... No need. Rogge took the opportunity to change the subject, "Matilda, the territory of the Viper family is directly south of the Twilight Forest, and I'm afraid it is also under attack from the beast tide, aren't you worried?" ”
Matilda's expression was not serious, and she said, "Worry, but my Viper family is not so easy to defeat. ”
Rogge was puzzled and asked, "You brought out all the elites of the Viper Knights, right?" What other power can stop the beast tide? ”
"Who told you that the Viper Knights only have cavalry? The Northwestern Front was far from my family's territory, so the infantry regiment did not move. The heavy infantry regiment of my Viper family is enough to keep this beast tide at bay north of Sky Viper City! ”
Viper City, an important city in the southern part of the empire, is a magnificent majestic city and the capital of the Viper family's territory.
When Rogge heard this, his heart was much more settled.
Since Matilda is so confident, then the beast tide in the south of the empire is not to worry.
The southeast is based on Odens, and under the defense of the second prince Charisson, there is no problem.
The beast tide in the north, they have just repelled it. Although many second-stage demonic beasts escaped back to the forest and did not kill all of them, the number of demonic beasts was greatly reduced, and the threat was not great.
Approaching the territory of the Lion Family to the northeast, Rogge believed that the Lion Family, which was not actively dispatching troops in the northwest, would definitely not let the beast tide wreak havoc in his territory.
As a result, only a narrow strip of land on the southwest coast remains, and the people there are feared to have suffered.
It's a pity that the Iron Wall Mountain Range is blocked between the Nalan Empire and the Orc Alliance in the west, otherwise if it is guided, it may also be able to give the orcs a taste of the wreaking havoc of the Warcraft.
There was also the group of flying monsters whose whereabouts were unknown, and when Rogge thought of this, he asked: "Matilda, I speculate that the flying monsters will attack Holke City, do you have any whereabouts of flying monsters?" ”
When Matilda heard this, she said solemnly: "No, why did you make this inference? ”
"We went straight through the entire twilight forest and found that there were very few flying monsters, which is not normal."
"So you suspect they're gathered? Why Holker City? ”
"The beast tide must have been deliberately triggered, and the purpose was mostly to cause chaos in the empire, and at the moment, attacking Holke City is the most direct and effective way to create chaos."
"The flying demonic beasts are much faster than other demonic beasts, we may be too late, maybe the Garin City Lord will have intelligence." Matilda stood up, "Rogge, take your two girls and go with me to the city lord." ”
Rogge didn't move.
He only has one pair of hands, and he wants to bring two sisters, which is okay, but the posture will be very indecent.
Matilda laughed out loud and said, "I'll hold one for you?" ”
It is not appropriate to let the dignified Grand Duke hug a person in front of everyone.
Just as Rogge wanted to call back Canstar, who didn't know where he had gone, Felia, who was leaning on his shoulder, said, "No need. ”
"How are you feeling, Filia?" Every time Filia woke up, Rogge asked.
"I took a nap and felt more refreshed. By the way, Aunt Matilda didn't tease you, did she? ”
"Nope." Rogge's face does not change color.
Matilda, who was very unconvinced, crossed her hands on her hips and said, "What auntie, Xiaoya, I said that you should call me sister!" ”
“…… My father called you Auntie, and it's no longer right for me to call you Auntie. ”
"It's okay, it's all about it." Matilda insisted.
“…… Sister. "Filia was not a rigid person, and in accordance with the principle of respecting the elderly, she gave up the struggle and went with Matilda.
Matilda, who was all bigger than Filia, burst into laughter. Wind
"Let's go." Rogge picked up Ophina, who was still asleep, and walked to the City Lord's Mansion first.
…………
Count Webster was not in the Lord's Palace, the diligent Lord liked to do everything himself, and was cleaning up the battlefield with the city guards.
Rogge saw that many civilians were also involved, and even replaced many tired soldiers and became the main force in the post-war work.
The adventurers, on the other hand, spontaneously took on the role of guard, and also conducted a carpet search in the city to avoid any fish that slipped through the net.
"Count Webster, pause, I have something to ask you." Matilda found the Lord of Garin, who was meditating with an anomalous core.
Webster saw the person coming clearly, hurriedly saluted solemnly, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, thank you for your help and save the city of Garin from fire and water!" I will ...... with the people of the city."
Matilda interrupted him with a wave of her hand, "No need to say polite words, let's get down to business." Lord Earl, can there be news of a large group of flying monsters? ”
Webster nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
"Where did they go?"
"According to the scout's report, it's headed north!"
Matilda and Rogge looked at each other, both worried.
"Lord Earl, the demonic beast has not been eradicated, please consolidate the city defense of Garin City as soon as possible and strengthen the vigilance!" Matilda ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!" Webster hesitated for a moment, but still asked the doubts in his heart, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, whether in the records or since the establishment of the empire, there has never been such a beast tide in the Twilight Forest, what caused the outbreak of the beast tide?" Why is this Warcraft core like this? And those warriors, why are they so crazy? ”
"Warriors?" Matilda wondered.
"'The flame burns out, and the prosperity lives forever!'" For the Holy King to come into the world! They shouted slogans like this, attacked friendly troops, and then ...... It exploded like a humanoid bomb. ”
Matilda looked at Rogge again, but unfortunately, Rogge couldn't give her an answer this time.
"Lord Earl, let's do things first, and I'll answer your questions to you later."
Webster bowed his head and continued his work.
"Rogge, Holke City needs support, the Viper Knights will rest for a day and leave on time tomorrow morning."
The heavy cavalry of the Viper Knights marched at high speed for several days and then charged all night, and they were sleepy and had to rest.
"Well, leave some of it to guard Garin City."
"It's natural, leave half, enough. You ......"
"Gollum!"
"What sound?"
Matilda looked at the source of the sound and saw that the little girl in Rog's arms was looking at her with big innocent eyes, which was very cute.
"Ah ......"
"Call my sister!" Matilda interrupted quickly.
Orfina blinked and said, "Aunt Matilda, I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”
