Chapter 363

A battle involving a total of more than 40,000 people will not be ignored in the Karen Kingdom—the nobles, lords, and even the royal family are all paying attention to the outcome of this war, and there will obviously be so-called "standing in line" in it .

In the kingdom with many lords, there are those who clearly support the "Rose Cross", and there are also those who are willing to donate gold coins to the "Viper Cross". Without the support of the nobles of this country...

In such a Karen kingdom, in fact, there is not much "cohesion" to speak of. As the nominal "ruler" of this country, the royal family has now been reduced to the level of the duke's first-level nobles, which can be described as nominal.

Objectively speaking, Charles II is not a foolish king who only knows pleasure. As a king, he worked hard to implement new policies, and achieved some commendable results-although these things are enough for him to leave a mark in history, but for an ambitious monarch, just this...is not enough .

"Moore, such a result does not seem to meet expectations."

Raising his hand, he handed over the palm symbolizing royal power to the servant. The king stretched out his hand to straighten the collar inlaid with the golden emblem, and turned his gaze to the loyal lord in front of him.

Earl Moore had a battle with Lord Gordon last year, and this incident was considered one of the most concerned events in 6B. Obviously, being eligible to enter Charles II's study at this time already represented the monarch's recognition of his trust and ability.

Moore, who is fifty years old this year, looks like a skinny old man, and the simple and unadorned robes don't seem to match his status as a hereditary earl, but the old nobleman's means, But obviously beyond those guys who only know how to collect taxes and pensions—

"Your Majesty, after the battle started, neither the reinforcements of the Rose Cross nor the support troops that arrived the next day were in the temple. There was no report or record. It was an unauthorized action. Obviously, someone had detected the trap in advance and walked around Following Mograine's orders."

"I don't want to hear reasons, I just want results."

Charles II responded in a deep voice. Although there was some displeasure on his face, the monarch really liked the feeling of "manipulating the overall situation" behind his back.

This war was intervened and influenced by Moore before it broke out: Why has the "Rose Cross" been kept in the dark? Why was the large-scale troop hoarding of the "Viper Cross" not detected? The reason is that the Earl of Moore who called the wind and rain in the southern territory played a great role.

Weakening the "Rose Cross" and secretly supporting the "Viper Cross"—Although the royal family is far from being as strong as it used to be, Charles II knows the importance of "balance", just like the originally weak Moore annexed the flourishing Lord Gordon That... If there is no secret support from the royal family, such a thing can only be a fantasy.

In every war, there will be confrontations between various forces in places that ordinary people can't see, and the result of this religious war is that both sides suffer losses. If it is said that the real "reaping benefits", only the royal family who sits in Ignaz .

"Your Majesty, everything is still under control. The influence of the royal family will increase several times within two years, and the only thing we have to worry about now is the border..."

"You mean undead? Isn't the problem at Efta solved? What I want to see is these disobedient guys obediently surrendering to me. I don't care what the skeletons thousands of miles away think."

Charles II raised his eyebrows slightly. He was about to be thirty-seven years old and still had the aggressiveness and impetuosity of a young man.

Earl Moore hesitated to speak, but then he realized... Even if he said some things, His Majesty might not be able to understand them. He simply nodded and replied in a low voice: "Everything will go according to plan, Your Majesty."

"butterfly, butterfly,

where u from?

I don't know, I don't ask,

There was never a home.

butterfly, butterfly,

Where are you going?

where the sun shines,

Where the buds grow. "

As the team moved forward, on the "creaking" carriage, Naifei shook her calf and hummed this popular nursery rhyme in the Karen Kingdom—this voice also made the team members feel more relaxed. After the past four days, they finally left the forest and encountered a support team of 500 people who came from the "Holy Temple" under the order of Rubens.

"The town of Geer is just ahead, and the team will rest here for a day."

As the commander of this team, Sally briefly explained the arrangements for the past few days to the exhausted team members, then shook the reins and looked around, but found that she could not find Rody. …

"This guy…"

Although Sally's brows did not have the melancholy of the past, she has been sensitive to Rody's abnormality these past few days - he has become more and more taciturn, and even stays up all night, just sitting in front of the campfire without knowing what to do. Thinking about something.

Sally asked him why, but Roddy was always vague. These few days of marching are extremely tiring, and the occasional chats are only about her experience in the jungle, but what Rody has done in the past six months, he has never mentioned a word.

"Camilla, have you seen Roddy?"

"Sister Sally, I just saw a shadow in the distance, it seems to be brother Roddy riding that big bird—"

Naifei raised her finger and pointed to the direction of the forest behind the team. Sally took a look and found that she couldn't see anything clearly, so she asked casually, "How far is it?"

"Maybe more than twenty kilometers."

"That's so far away."

Sally nodded, but she didn't really take it seriously... At a distance of 20 kilometers, let alone people, even a church can't even tell them apart. Naifei probably just said this because she has no concept of distance.

The two chatted while walking. After walking like this for more than half an hour, the team entered the town and began to rest—the team of more than 500 escorts camped directly outside the town, and Sally took Naifei to live in the hotel.

The team that had fled for a long time finally enjoyed some peace at this time.

It wasn't until the evening that Rody dragged his exhausted body to the town. After some inquiries, he confirmed the location of his room, but when he walked to the second floor. Just as he was about to push open his own door, the wooden door of the next room opened first.

"Roddy."

"Um?"

Hearing Sally's voice, Rody turned his head and looked over. He wanted to say hello, but swallowed involuntarily...

The harsh forest conditions did not allow Sally to take a bath at all. After the war, she was always on her way. Nefei and she were even more busy. At this time, she finally found a chance to take a bath. When she heard Roddy's footsteps, she hurried away. It came out—obviously, Xia Tian's thin gauze couldn't hide her graceful figure at all. Although not much skin was exposed, the wet short hair, the looming curves and the two points on the chest that were protruded because she didn't wear underwear were already Enough to ⊥ people's blood surge...

"Where did you go? It's been so long since you came back?"

Sally didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong, she just looked up and down the leather armor on Rody's body, her eyes narrowed, and she took a step back: "Come in and talk, don't stand outside."

Rody took a deep breath, looked away, stepped into the door, put the short bow, empty quiver and short sword on the table: "I just—"

"Brother Luo Di is back?"

Naifei's voice interrupted his words, Roddy turned his head, and then the corners of his mouth twitched violently twice.

Three meters away, the little loli poked her head out of the bathroom, her round shoulders and delicate white skin were exposed in the air, her long red hair hung down from the side, her big eyes were blinking curiously...

"Silly boy"

Sally walked over dumbfounded, "I told you to get dressed before coming out...why are you so reckless..."

This posture seemed to be "self-proclaimed" by Naifei's parents. Not long after, Naifei came out wearing a dress that was slightly larger, and then bouncing and said to go downstairs to see if the books were lost. Sally Knowing that there were guards all around, he no longer worried about her safety, closed the door with a "click", turned around and sat in front of Rody.

Luo Di was feeling a little dry, so Sally brought a glass of water, and then asked softly, "Are you tired? You have worked hard these days... I can finally have a decent place to rest today, and the team will be late tomorrow." Let's go and get some sleep."

Sally's voice was indescribably gentle. After experiencing so many things, she now cherishes the time with Rody very much.

But looking at Luo Di's dull expression, Sally felt that she was too gentle and seemed to make him uncomfortable, but she laughed out loud in two seconds, stretched out her hand and punched him: "Can't you say a few more words? What? When I look at you from time to time, it’s all this—”

But when her hand dropped, Sally realized something was wrong. She stood up and came to Rody, stretched out her hand and pulled the leather armor. Seeing that the inner lining was full of blood, she suddenly changed her tone: "What's going on?"

After the words fell, "Intermediate Healing Technique" followed silently.

"In the afternoon... I met a B cross team when I was dealing with the traces of the team, so... I fought a battle."

Luo Di forced a smile, trying to confuse the topic: "It's all settled, don't worry."

"I don't worry...what should I worry about?" Sally felt a little tightness in her chest as she spoke. She took a deep breath, turned her head and whispered: "I can help you now, why do you always go there alone?" In the face of these dangers . . . if, if—”

She didn't go on talking in the end, her eyes were red, obviously remembering how she felt when she received the news of Rody's "death".

Rody was silent. He didn't know how to comfort Sally, but he said apologetically, "I'm sorry... I didn't expect it either...".

"Forget it, I know it's useless to say it." Sally turned her head away a little angrily, but she has matured and knew that the result of a willful cold war can only hurt both sides, so after a few seconds, she Changed the subject: "In the past six months...how have you been in Efta?"

Seeing that she was no longer angry with him, Rody relaxed a little: "I'm doing well, I killed a few undead, repelled a group of orcs, and then - I was busy with other things."

"It must be thrilling, right?"

Sally knew this guy, and what he said seemed to be as simple as eating a meal, but in fact he might be shocked at every step - and Rody's reaction was not beyond her expectations, he scratched his head: "It's okay, survived."

"Then... is there any woman pestering you?"

Sally tried her best to make an expression that she asked inadvertently, but her eyes were fixed on Rody's expression, for fear of missing any details.

"Woman?" Rody raised his eyebrows, and the shadows of Nata, Akasha, and Camilla ran through his mind, but obviously these people would not "wrap" him, so he held up the water glass and spoke frankly. Answered: "No."

"Hmph, you're smart."

Stupid, just like you, I'm afraid you don't even know that there are other women who like you

Sally slightly relaxed her nervousness, but then she realized a problem: this guy has a girlfriend who hurt him deeply...

It seems to be called - Naifei?

At the beginning, because he left in a hurry, he didn't have time to ask, but now... it seems that it's time to cover his words.
