Chapter 316 Guard

Rody lowered his eyelids when he listened to Soderol's words—this action made him look like he was dozing off, but in fact it was covering up his inner anger... Whether three months is long or short In short, while the news of his "avalanche suspended animation" relaxed the vigilance of the undead, it obviously also brought a lot of trouble to the Duke of Angmar.

This group of short-sighted nobles have a dog-like sense of the interests around them, but they always turn a blind eye to the possible invasion of the border.

Roddy glanced at Camilla who was a little depressed, got up and said: "Let's talk about this today, if you have any ideas, you can find me at any time."

He didn't expect Camilla to stand on the opposite side of the "Holy Council" immediately, so he set aside a buffer time, and then said nothing more, turned around and asked Suo Deluoer about the news of the Sola sentry.

"Crack."

Sitting on the bed, Camilla stared at the closed wooden door in a daze, but she didn't perceive everything around her again—she exhaled slowly, her heart filled with unspeakable complex emotions...fingers clenched and loosened , the tension and uneasiness still linger in my heart, but what occupies my mind more is the doubts about Rody.

He could have made himself a slave with just a few words, but he didn't.

He seemed to be just an inconspicuous nobleman in the kingdom, but he expressed the essence of the "holy society" in just a few sentences.

In Camila's original impression, Roddy was just a warrior with fighting power and courage that ordinary people could not match. However, since the conversation just now, Roddy's image in her eyes has undergone a drastic change—a leader with strong self-control? Or a wise man hiding beneath a youthful surface?

She understands that she can no longer treat Rody as an ordinary person. Human beings who can understand the importance of "charged spar" and master "high elf language" are a bit beyond cognition. The things he showed even made Camilla think of those old guys in the "Holy Church".

However, it doesn't matter how mysterious Roddy is. After realizing that she can't get out of this city, Camilla's biggest worry now is... what about Nafi?

Are you going to ask Roddy for help?

Such thoughts popped up in her mind, and Camilla looked at the closed door and fell into deep thought.

"Because I have always been uneasy about the city, it took me two months to search before I was able to send troops through the surrounding forest to contact Hanks, but the feedback was not optimistic."

Soderol and Rody walked side by side. The young second lieutenant has matured through continuous fighting and tempering, and during the three months that Rody "disappeared", he even arranged the troops in an orderly manner. , military leadership is undoubtedly prominent.

Although there was some worry in the speech at this time, it was obvious that he was confident enough to solve all this.

"Tell me carefully."

Rody squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the distant mountains, his voice seemed a bit cold.

"After we left, there were five lords before and after arriving there, with a total strength of more than a thousand people. However, because the threat of the orcs had been lifted, they withdrew quickly one after another. During this period, their attitude towards Hanks... Not very friendly."

"Not very friendly" is a polite way of saying it. In fact, these lords directly threw Hanks aside completely, and directly took over Sola sentry. According to the news, when faced with the arrogant army of the lord, they can only choose to be patient.

"Hanks said that during this period, there were several conflicts between the army and the lord's army. Although they were all suppressed in the end, he obviously suffered a lot... a lot of insults. However, he never revealed to these nobles about us. The news was only sent to the duke by secret letter."

"The mind is still active."

Roddy just gave a comment and didn't say anything else. He was in a bad mood, and there was always a hint of evil in his tone. Because there are no maids or servants here, Suo Deluoer did not arrange soldiers to take care of his daily life, so at this time he personally poured a cup of hot water for Rody, then sat on the wooden chair, and whispered: "Hanks He is not idle, he has been keeping in touch with the Duke of Angmar. The latest news is that some nobles have used some means to reduce the Duke's tax, and they are planning to take action against the Parlings and the wood elves, so I think We have to take action."

"It's not difficult to clean up a group of moths who have done less than succeed but failed."

Rody shook his head, but then asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "How many 'charged spars' in the city have you found? Have you counted them?"

Suo Deluo was taken aback, and quickly replied: "There are a total of 157 yuan, of which only 38 yuan still have energy. This is the statistics of Pastor Akasha."

Such a figure made Roddy raise his eyebrows—he thought there would be at least a thousand dollars, how could it be so little?

Elson is the pinnacle of the High Elf's defense system. Its defense ability far exceeds the current level of human castles, but as a price, its energy supply problem is also very prominent. This reason is similar to "a high-powered racing car with amazing fuel consumption "Again, it's an unavoidable problem.

And according to the book "On the Self-awareness of the Defense System", the number of crystals needed to activate the inner city defense of this city is about 1,500 yuan, while the full activation of the outer city defense requires at least 5,000 yuan

Six thousand five hundred "charged crystals" is the minimum standard to ensure the activation of the entire city's defense, and if there is a war, this number must be at least ten times greater to maintain the consumption of a major war.

Rody exhaled, the harvest brought by this victory is too rich, but the affordability is equally astonishing--this "city lord" himself is completely unbearable.

Elson doesn't have the "charged spar", and there are only two ways to get it: either go to the Wagra ruins in the Silent Whispering Forest and use the large amount of spar hidden underground, or... make it yourself .

But at present, it seems that the crystal stones in the Wagra ruins are not enough at all, and mastering the manufacturing technology is an inevitable way to restore Elson to the original defense level.

However, Camilla said that a single copy of "Theory of Making Energized Crystals" was placed in the hands of Nafi in Mogra Village, so—

Rody focused his eyes, and gradually came up with a plan in his mind: "Elson City will be our largest development base in the future, but the problem that needs to be solved at the moment is the Duke's side, because if war breaks out, there will be our rear area .”

Suo Deluoer understood his plan, and reminded him: "Our troops are currently in short supply. If we want to defend such a large city, we need at least 2,000 standing troops."

"Leave the problem of troop strength to me, and return to Sola Post tomorrow."

Rody drank the hot water in the water glass, got up and walked outside the house.

The difference of one hundred days is just a snap of the fingers for Rody, but for Akasha, it feels like years.

Akasha can never hide her thoughts, she can't grit her teeth to withstand the pressure like Suodlor, and continue to command troops in an orderly manner, and she can't be as cold as Nata, wandering on the city wall all day long, watching It looked like nothing happened.

Luo Di's life and death are uncertain, and the anxiety in her heart always makes it difficult for Akasha to sleep at night... As a result, her dark circles have become more serious, her chin has become sharper, her waist has become thinner, and her face has become paler. The plump and beautiful pastor is now a little sick and haggard.

And because of the appearance of the "Legion of the Dead", Akasha has endured a lot of pressure... The eyes of the soldiers mixed with respect and fear made her feel that she had become a "monster", so she gradually stayed away from the crowd. Studying magic in the room alone, or being haunted by nightmares, staring sleepily at the towering magic tower in a daze...

Fortunately, today, all the apprehensions finally disappeared. After seeing Rody walk out of the magic tower intact, the exhausted she finally felt relieved, and had a good sleep at Rody's request—

When I woke up, the sky outside the window was already dark.

"cough."

Her throat was a little dull, and Akasha rubbed her eyes, but she felt that something was different around her. Then she realized that there was a magic circle lighting in her bedroom, so that her eyes were not as dark as before.

The light dispelled the darkness, and also drove away Akasha's fear. She got up and looked around curiously, not understanding why this happened.

"Da da."

Just as she was curious about the knock on the bedroom door, Akasha frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts: "Who is it?

But when she heard the answering voice outside the door, Akasha froze there for a while, her heart started beating wildly—Roddy came to find herself in the bedroom? What does he... mean?

She hurriedly opened the door, but saw Rody standing outside the door with a wooden water cup in his hand. When their eyes met, Akasha didn't look away as shyly as before, but carefully He stared at Roddy carefully for a long time—

"looking at what?"

Rody put the water glass prepared for Akasha on the wooden table next to him, and pushed it forward—seeing his movement, Akasha felt warm in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "It's okay... It's just that I haven't seen it for a long time. It’s your turn, I’m afraid I’ll forget what you look like.”

After saying this, Akasha lowered her head a little shyly: She usually doesn't have the guts to express her feelings so bluntly.

Luo Di was a little stuck, looking at Akasha, but felt that her current appearance was really distressing...Looking at Akasha's cheek, he sighed and said, "You have lost a lot of weight."

"ah"

Only then did Akasha remember that her dark circles under her eyes were ugly, so she hurriedly turned her head away to prevent Rody from seeing it, and said in a low voice, "Did I become ugly?"

"No, I just feel uncomfortable seeing you like this."

Rody wasn't stupid enough to call girls ugly, and Akasha was always called a beauty no matter before or now, and it had nothing to do with "ugliness". He just felt a little guilty in his heart—after all, this silly little priest was It was because of myself that I became like this.

And Akasha, who turned her head away, slightly raised the corners of her mouth—this guy actually still cares about himself very much.

But even though she thought of Camilla who walked out of the magic tower with Rody, she felt a little sour in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "By the way, why didn't the woman who entered the tower with you leave here?" ?”

"She... I'm afraid she can't leave?"

"Why?"

Akasha jumped up in her heart. She had already noticed that Rody's attitude towards Camilla was not right. The woman's intuition made her feel that there was something strange about it. Could it be that Rody said this because she was stuck here? Or was it because of something that happened with Rody in the tower?

Looking at Akasha, whose gossip soul was burning, Rody sighed inwardly that a woman's way of thinking was simply incomprehensible, so he had to briefly explain Camilla's current abilities and roles—and after hearing this, Akasha pouted. Frowning with her mouth open: "Then she has become your 'deputy,'?"

As Rody's follower, Akasha has always been concerned about this "identity", but soon she was relieved...Anyway, Camilla can't leave Elson, if Rody goes to other places, Camilla will just Can stare here.

Hmph, just a guy with no threat.

"Let's not discuss her matters, I have something to tell you," Rody finally got to the point, then looked into Akasha's eyes, and said in a low voice: "I plan to return to Sola Sentinel tomorrow, and then go back to Huo A trip to Lear City."

"Leave tomorrow? I'll clean up later."

Akasha was about to get up, but Rody put his hand on his shoulder—"What I want to say is...I hope you stay here and help me guard the city for a while."

"I... what?"

Akasha, who was originally full of joy, froze her expression and stared blankly at Rody, speechless for a while.

[Originally I wrote four thousand and two, but deleted and changed it to three thousand and seven, so I posted it like this, at least three thousand and five tomorrow, and I will definitely be able to make up for the one thousand that was missing yesterday. 】
