Chapter 320 Glory

While speaking, Rody's eyes seemed to be staring into the distance, but in fact, he inadvertently glanced at the [city map] in front of him that no one else could see.

Soderol didn't notice this, he was just a little taken aback by Rody's question - what was he doing a year ago?

Thinking about it carefully, at this time last year, he was still an unsuccessful second lieutenant in Finks Village...Because he was demoted at Fort Conselton, he was full of panic about the future: he was afraid that he would spend his entire life in In such a remote village, it is no longer possible to avenge the father who died of political framing, and it is impossible to revive the family.

Soderol was the last descendant of that baronial family, but he never mentioned his origin to others... Even Rody didn't know his noble surname.

"I remember... At that time, I was patrolling the grassland every day, and I was always suffocating in my chest. I wanted to train these guys into regular cavalry... Oh, I don't know what was going on in my mind, I always thought that this would impress Ann. Duke Gema, and he firmly believes that as long as he works hard, he may be able to become the captain of the guard or something."

He recalled the scene in a daze, but he was also a little curious, and asked: "To be honest, I have always wondered why you are also a scout, and you dare to bring a dozen people to fight against the orcs?"

Rody turned his head, pointed to the chair next to him to let Suo Deluoer sit down, and sat on the other side, glanced at the closed door inadvertently, and replied: "Sally once asked a question similar to yours. …how should I put it—a lot of things need a reason, and my reason actually sounds silly, and many people even think I’m joking.”

"But if I want to answer seriously, it's still that sentence..."

"I just don't want this country to be destroyed by a group of beasts."

He said this sentence as if joking, and there seemed to be a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. He didn't know if he was laughing at himself or those who wanted to see the joke.

"Country... What kind of country does Karen have now? The nobles only care about their own interests. During the three months when you were away, I was always thinking-we are facing these crises at the border of the kingdom, but the moths in the country But still drunk and dreaming, is it worth doing this?"

It has been a long time since Suo Deluoer and Luo Di had a conversation like this. Although they cooperated tacitly during the battle, their values ​​and outlook on life are different after all. After a phased victory, such communication is always necessary-losing fighting spirit The best fighters are no different from farmers, and this team will inevitably undergo more severe tests and battles, and Roddy does not want to lead a group of passive soldiers to fight.

"Is it worth it?" Rody seemed to be muttering to himself, and whispered: "If you don't do this, do you know what the kingdom will be like in five years?"

"The orc tribe will gradually integrate and come from the other side of the grassland like locusts, sweeping everything, plundering everything, and killing everything..."

"The undead will cross the Gondola Mountain. They want to increase the population and occupy more resources... So it is inevitable to invade the Karen Kingdom-the undead are rampant. The relatives and friends we know, the civilians or nobles we don't know, will be in disaster Become a puppet in the hands of these guys, or awaken as a strange undead..."

"The village was reduced to ashes, the city was reduced to nothing, and the surviving people moved to the south of the kingdom, but the royal family was devastated and could not accept it at all. The ability of the 'Rose Cross' was limited. Thousands of people could only face the end of death in the end..."

"And what I want to do is stop that from happening."

Numerous images flashed through Roddy's mind, which were historical events that actually happened in the game: In 590, the orcs invaded massively, the kingdom lost part of its territory, and then fortresses and cities began to fall.

Until 597, the war had caused the country to be torn apart, and the various forces in the country were scattered all over the country. However, when facing foreign enemies, the nobles, rebels, and royal family were suspicious of each other.

Holding each other back, the entire kingdom was exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

Suo Deluoer frowned slightly, and looked out of the window without focus - Rody's words could be regarded as "scaremongering" in the ears of ordinary people, but he would not take these words as a joke.

His mind is much smarter than most people, and more importantly, he has had close contact with these enemies, and he is more aware of their strength... and hidden ambitions.

The conversation fell into silence, and the peaceful three-month rest almost made Suo Deluoer ignore these threats, but Roddy made him realize...the pressure hidden under the comfort has long exceeded his imagination.

He sighed, and said in a low voice: "Thinking that I have to face such enemies, I always feel a little out of breath—because the more I get in touch with these enemies, the more I understand them, and the more uncertain my heart is..."

Suo Deluoer's mood was a little depressed, and there was a little more retreat and hesitation in his eyes.

This is not a matter of being timid or not, just like Rody would not go to Augustine to face him head-on. When they find that there is a dead end in front of them, few people are willing to grit their teeth and go on for the hope that they cannot see.

Roddy thought for a while, raised his hand, and calmly recounted all the battles he had participated in this year:

"In mid-April last year, Nolan Village fought for the first time. I led fourteen scouts to raid the temporary camp of the orcs... and killed thirteen enemies."

"The night I met you later, I went to rescue Sally...and killed ten wolf cavalry."

"In August, we raided the orc kingdom and killed five hundred enemies."

"In September...Francis was killed."

"Then, we lured the snake out of the hole and besieged and killed Magda in Houlier City..."

"In the Forest of Silent Whispers, I single-handedly killed a group of heretics..."

"...The battle with the undead puppets, killing Ansadin and Magda, and then we beat off the group of nobles..."

"And now—we've repelled the Orcs, we've killed Bellom, we've destroyed Turing."

He raised his gaze and asked in a deep voice, "Are these enemies powerful? Are they dangerous?"

Luo Di raised his tone slightly, and then, as if he had made a final decision, he suddenly clenched his hands into fists——

"But have we ever stepped back?"

There were no impassioned slogans, no inspiring words, but Soderol felt his blood boil at this moment!

Any battle in Roddy's mouth is enough for the bard to weave into a well-known story or repertoire. Even if viewed separately, they can all be called "thrilling" and "soul-stirring"...

But he used the calmest tone and the most sensible figures to list the results of each battle. This accumulated feeling made Soderol think of only one word: glory.

It was an emotion that didn't need to be said: strong pride and pride filled the body, so that Suo Deluoer no longer denied his "value" in the slightest!

"So—it's true that the enemy is strong, but do we... need to be afraid?"

Luo Di quietly looked at the leader of the rebel army in front of him, and asked this question softly.

Suo Deluoer took a deep breath, the original tense emotions suddenly disappeared, replaced by strong self-confidence, he stood up, stood at attention with a "snap", and gave a very serious military salute——

This is his answer.

"Next, I may go to the southern part of the kingdom. I'll give you Palling and Kig Town. Whether this city can become a barrier for the kingdom depends on whether Efta can maintain stability."

Roddy continued talking to him, and Soderol returned to his former composure, and then left the bedroom with orders—but just as he pushed open the wooden door, he saw Camilla in a red robe standing outside the door .

Soderol greeted politely and left without saying much. But Camilla looked at the opened door, and after trying to calm down her complicated face, she took a deep breath and walked in.

"Didn't sleep well?"

Seeing Camilla's dark circles, Rody, who was still sitting on the chair, was a little surprised - he naturally didn't know that Camilla stayed up all night because of Nata's words.

Camilla didn't answer, because her mood at this time was simply indescribable, and she didn't even know what expression to use to face Roddy

She originally wanted to have a "showdown" with Rody with a serious face, but after hearing the conversation between him and Soderol outside the door, Camilla felt... She was already overwhelmed by the calm and passionate emotionally infected...

Rhetoric is worthless, because anyone can say it, but when she calmly narrated what she had done, Camilla felt her heartbeat speed up inexplicably—what is the so-called "hero" in this world? Maybe it's the guy in front of me who is always chasing his ideals...

He doesn't have the profit-seeking greed of nobles, nor the blindness and stupidity of fanatics. In this chaotic and dark age, Roddy looks different but admirable.

"What's up?"

Seeing her bowing her head and not speaking, Rody felt a little uncertain about what she was thinking—but he was certain that Camilla must have come to have a showdown with him.

Half of the reason for the conversation with Soderol just now was to "take care" of Camilla. Luo Di knew that this "mother-in-law-to-be" was "strong" and couldn't bear face, so he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he deliberately used this method to satisfy her thirst for knowledge...

But this doesn't seem to have any effect?

Camilla pinched the edge of the robe with her fingertips. She was not twisting, but she used this action to strengthen her confidence. Raising her head, she met Roddy's gaze and said, "If I really can't leave here again, then... I want to ask you to do one thing."

Luo Di naturally understood what she wanted to say, but he didn't say much, just quietly waiting for the next one.

Having made a decision in her heart, Camilla stopped procrastinating and said bluntly: "I told you about the "Making Principles of Energized Crystals", and it is now in Nefei's hands."

She originally had many reasons to beg Roddy, and she also had many reasons why she had to say so, but when all the words came to her lips, Camilla swallowed them back...

The image of Rody in her heart has changed again and again. After listening to him tell about those experiences, Camilla understands...Rody's firm heart cannot be fooled by words at all. So she saved all the nonsense and chose to confess: "I am willing to protect this city for you, and only one condition is enough."

"Bring Nefer here safely, can you?"
