Chapter 279 Roddy's "Big Killer...

December 14.

Eleven days have passed since the avalanche on Mount Kars, and during these 11 days, the "truth" about the avalanche incident caused an uproar in Efta and even the entire Karen Kingdom.

The name "Rody" was a hot topic in the kingdom before: After the deeds of killing the orc wolf cavalry, killing Ansadin, Magda, killing the heretics, etc. were exposed, all the nobles noticed this. In peaceful times, young people who repeatedly relied on amazing "military exploits".

There were those who lamented, but more of them were envy and jealousy--but all these emotions turned into "sneering" after the avalanche: a "hero" who was talked about by people died before he was able to succeed in his career. The ominous died at the foot of Kars!

This is definitely a "joke".

The nobles who originally planned to support the Sola sentry were dumbfounded... because they wanted to use Rody's troops as a shield, but now that he died, did they go to the Sola sentry to be knifed?

More aristocrats were talking about various versions of inferences about this incident at the dinner party, and they all summed up in the same general sense: a guy like Roddy, who has made a lot of achievements and is too high-profile, deserves his death.

It sounds cruel, but it's the reality: no one wants to be overshadowed by a little bum.

There are many other rumors in the territory, such as the Duke of Angmar smashed his teacup because of his emotions after hearing about it, Bishop Benjamin stayed behind closed doors and so on--in the eyes of the nobles who want to carve up Efta Come on, the "sharp blade" in the Duke's hand, which was used to intimidate others, has been completely broken.

The situation in the entire territory will change because of this "avalanche".

However, at the same time, Sally, who was reading Roddy's letter in the "Temple" common room, still didn't know what happened in the territory.

"The tone of voice is so perfunctory, what does it mean?"

At this moment, she looked at the letter from Rody in her hand, which was written in words comparable to the speeches of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and she felt extremely resentful in her heart: After finally writing a letter to Miss Ben, you just let me read this?

"Stupid Roddy! I'm so pissed off!"

She turned the letter paper over and over for a long time, and after confirming that Rody hadn't written the secret language, her mood became worse and worse. Just as she was pouting and putting away the letter angrily, Sister Fiona, who had a good relationship with her, looked over curiously—

"Sally? Are you writing a letter?"

"No,

No, it's just some news from the territory, Fiona, what are you talking about? "

Sally didn't want to write a reply to Roddy, she wanted to let the bastard dry, so she moved to Fiona's side curiously, wanting to participate in their conversation.

"We heard a piece of news just now." Fiona hesitated to speak, "It's about Efta..."

"Huh? What happened to Everta?"

"Some time ago, there was a person whose name was talked about by many people, you should know..." Fiona and the nun next to her looked at each other, then made an archery gesture and said, "It's that Roddy who killed the powerful necromancer." --"

Sally was stunned for a moment...but suddenly there was an unexplainable jealousy in her heart: Roddy bastard, now that he is famous, many women will like him soon!

However, what Fiona said next brought her association to an abrupt end:

"We just heard... that there was an avalanche in Efta, which buried Rody and his troops. I heard that... it seems that the whole army was wiped out. Many people are talking about it now, Lord Superintendent ..."

Sally couldn't hear what Fiona was saying behind, she just felt a "buzz" in her mind, the word "annihilated" made her whole blood start to turn cold...

"And they said—S, Sally? Are you all right..."

Fiona noticed that Sally's lips turned pale almost instantly, and her entire face was pale.

"Impossible...impossible!"

Sally tried to take a deep breath, she didn't lose her mind, but bit her lips tightly, trying to steady her mind and asked: "Then... have you seen Bishop Rubens?"

"My lord is in the chamber..."

After Fiona finished speaking, Sally rushed out frantically.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, but Sally felt as if her body was out of control. She went through one door after another, ran through a long corridor, and finally found the stern-looking Archbishop Rubens in an elegant hall—

"My lord, I just heard that...Rowdy—"

She didn't go on, because Rubens sighed and shook his head, which clearly answered her question.

he died…

Roddy is dead...

But I was still scolding him just now...

He will never write back to himself again...

Sally pursed her lips, trying to say something, but her throat seemed to be completely blocked.

At this moment, she felt that her heart had been severely gouged out—and when she realized that that figure would never appear again, the bone-piercing pain finally swept over like a tide...

"W-why is this..."

December 18, night.

[Judgment of the Throne of Bones] Countdown: 114 days.

It's snowing heavily, in the middle of nowhere in Blackwoods.

The camp where the soldiers were stationed was very lively at this moment. Several well-skilled subordinates were opening up the four reindeer, six wild boars and eight rabbits that had just been hunted today. As soon as it was cooked, it released a tempting aroma, which made the soldiers who were blushing from the cold in the heavy snow swallow their saliva.

In the center of the camp, Roddy and Soderol were sitting by the campfire, drinking and chatting.

"To be honest, I never thought that such an approach would really work."

Soderol fiddled with the bonfire and asked, "Didn't the news of our escape be told to others?"

Roddy shook his head: "Only by doing the tricks for real can we be seamless. Although it costs a lot to do so, this is our only advantage right now."

"Heh... those guys heard the news of our 'death', I guess they would burst out laughing? They made great achievements before, but they were killed when they went out. I'm afraid we will all be pulled out as a laughing stock at the noble banquet in the past two months. .”

After Soderol said this, he imitated the emphasis of some nobles: "You mean Soderol? Heh...they are just playing with fire, it is simply a disgrace to the nobles!"

Roddy smiled relaxedly beside him...With no enemies around to watch him, he also felt a lot less stressed. But thinking of the results of his own actions, he couldn't help but think of the girl who always called himself "stupid" in a teaching gown...

After hearing the news of her own death, it is estimated that she will completely forget about herself in a short time, right?

Although asking Sally to give up on herself was an idea that Roddy had long ago, every time he thought that she would completely forget him, he always felt a little unspeakably depressed--

In the end, he was just stubbornly unwilling to admit his little liking for Sally.

Feelings are not a program with a switch button. Whenever he notices it, he is often in a quagmire...Although Rody has low EQ, he is a guy with feelings after all. Emotions: For example, I have a little liking for Sally; another example is the indulgence of Akasha.

However, Rody is not without a solution. Ever since Akasha went "crazy", he has figured out a solution that can be called a "big killer": after taking down Elson, he will rush to Mogra as soon as possible. Village, no matter what you want to find Naifei...

Then fall in love with her and marry her.

Then all the problems will be solved - because once they get married, Sally and Akasha will definitely have nothing to say, and they will definitely stay away from themselves wisely...

Thinking about it carefully, Roddy felt that he was really witty.

The side effect of low EQ is that it will affect IQ at certain times. For example, at this time, Rody didn't feel any logical loopholes in his thinking, and even secretly proud of it...

"The meat is here!"

Akasha walked over here with a small pot, her face was blushing, and when she put the pot in front of Rody, her eyes were full of anticipation—

Luo Di rubbed his brows, did not reject her enthusiasm, raised his hand to scoop up a piece and ate it: "It tastes good."

Seeing that the food she made was recognized by Rody, Akasha was in a good mood, and sat beside Rody with her mouth curled up, watching him silently eating soup and meat, as if this was the happiest thing in the world.

For Akasha, her "first love" did not die young.

After confirming that Rody had no intention of driving her away, the simple-minded priest finally settled down, and in these days, she has become a lot more "honest"—because Akasha gradually understood what she really wanted. something to ask for...

Even if you don't speak, even if you don't make eye contact, as long as you can sit quietly beside Roddy, it seems... that's enough.

She liked this feeling, even though Roddy didn't respond enthusiastically.

It was also after Luo Di understood this that he didn't continue to make any other requests with her, and simply let it be - after all, in his heart, the confidence brought by that "big killer" was still very strong.

"By the way, Rody, what do you want those subordinates to chop wood for?"

Soderol took a sip of hot soup and pointed to the piled up tree trunks in the distance, "If you bring these things with you, your forward speed will be slowed down."

"I want to try something," Rody pointed to the carriage loaded with armor and luggage in the distance, and said, "If we succeed, we may be able to increase the speed by three or four times."

"How is it possible?" Soderol stared wide-eyed, "Accelerating on the snow is too dangerous, and the wheels can't bear it even a little faster..."

"Yeah, so I got them to change the wheels."

Roddy took a sip of the hot soup and smacked the taste, "You must have never heard of 'sleigh', have you?"

December 23, morning.

Outside the Sola sentry post, a group of cavalry rushed over frantically from a distance. Before anyone arrived, the voice of the leading knight was clearly heard by the soldiers inside the sentry post——

"Get ready to fight! There are orc troops attacking!"

The alarm bell on the sentry tower rang in a hurry, and Hanks, the supreme commander of the camp, walked out of his tent frowning, and helped the knight who had fallen from his horse, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, get to the point."

"The third brigade was attacked by the enemy, and only two people survived. We took them all the way back, and those wolf cavalry followed behind... They, they attacked us!"

"You were ambushed?"

"These guys have been prepared for a long time, and they are hiding there! They even dug traps..."

Hanks narrowed his eyes. He knew very well that the IQ of ordinary orcs was not practical enough for the "ambush" trick. The current situation made some weird premonitions arise in his heart. Seeing the wolf cavalry roaring in and out, the commander's frown became tighter...

"These guys... are they harassing?"
