Demon Lord

Chapter 486 The Holy Mother of the Prosperous Age, Chaos...

"Why! Why do you want to confiscate my horses!"

At this moment, a brawl broke out in the team. Catherine turned her head to look and found three domineering viscount barons arguing with Soderol.

"What are they doing?"

Catherine asked very puzzled.

"Those guys were not attacked, and I'm afraid they don't know the seriousness of the matter." Baron Coleman, who was covered in blood, shook his head: "This team is working hard to search and rescue other noble teams in the forest, but some people Gathered in without even seeing the orcs, they... probably think they can handle everything."

(Pig-Pig-Island) Novels.zud.

This answer made Catherine suddenly realize that she was fearless because of her ignorance. Before facing the cold blade, the nobles had no fear of the orcs, so the "rebound" of these guys at this time was also expected.

But the more this happened, the more Catherine could understand how naive she was before. She looked at the guys who kept shouting and cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of idiots..."

Rody's team has rescued twenty-two nobles along the way, some of them are survivors, like Catherine, only one or two people are left alive in the whole team. In some cases, the entire team was not attacked, so when horses were requisitioned to expand the scouting team, resistance was naturally encountered.

Those who had been attacked by the orcs honestly handed over all the resources after witnessing Rody leading the team several times, because they knew that their private soldiers were really a burden. However, those nobles with bright armor and showing off their might unanimously thought that Duke Sally was really making a big fuss, and none of them were willing to cooperate—seeing this situation, Suo Deluoer didn't talk nonsense, and directly waved at a few "stab heads" and said: " Those who are unwilling to give will not be given, but those who ride horses must accept orders to perform tasks, understand?"

"Why!? I am also the lord of the kingdom, where do you have the qualifications to order me?"

Viscount Juan, who was potbellied and full of beards, questioned loudly: "It's fine if you drag me into the team forcibly, but now I want my horse and troops. What do you want to do!?"

"Are you the Baron of Parling? You made a lot of money last winter. It was okay to do it secretly, but now you are blatantly trying to grab it?"

Soderol's face darkened. He didn't expect that the person he kindly rescued would be such a person, but he was soft-hearted after all, and he didn't want to see these kingdom nobles being slaughtered by orcs. He suppressed his anger and said: "This is an extraordinary period. The forest is very dangerous, that’s all for now, just lead your team and follow us.”

"Who will believe your nonsense!"

Viscount Juan pointed unceremoniously at Soderol.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Rody's voice suddenly came from the side:

"Love, believe, or not."

Riding on the "Train King", he was full of evil spirits, which made the nobles take a few steps back involuntarily. But Rody ignored them. He first gestured to Suo Deluoer to let the latter continue to lead the team to organize the search and rescue, then his eyes turned cold, he looked at several protesting nobles and said: "I won't say the same thing second If you want to get out, get out immediately, I don't need pig teammates."

"you--"

The three nobles who made trouble wanted to say something, but saw that the soldiers next to Rody had already made way for them. Aristocrats value face the most. At this point, there was nothing to talk about. With a cold snort, they led more than 60 private soldiers and left the large army, which already numbered more than 400, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Catherine witnessed all this with her own eyes, but what shocked her more than Rody's merciless "expulsion" was the status of the other party at this time...

She turned her head and asked the viscount next to her: "This soil beetle... oh no, why is Baron Rody here? He seems to be... very powerful?"

"You just joined the team, so you probably don't know it yet... Those soldiers who killed the orcs just now are under Baron Rody's subordinates, and he himself is the commander-in-chief of the current team, and even Duke Sally is only assisting him from the sidelines." .”

"Speaking of which, we are able to survive until now because of his protection. I heard that in the initial encounter, he killed thirty wolf cavalry by himself—"

"How can this be?!"

Catherine's heart was turbulent, and she looked at Rody, who just turned around at this moment, and said to the surrounding nobles: "If you want to leave, please leave immediately, I don't want to talk too much nonsense."

The corners of Rody's eyes were deeply tired, and he didn't even bother to say a few more words, and turned and left directly.

That lonely figure gradually overlapped with the unremarkable "earth turtle" at yesterday's banquet, making it difficult for Catherine to accept the huge change in it for a while.

"Everyone pays for their choices."

Catherine suddenly remembered what Rody said. She who hadn't delved into it before finally discovered a fact at this time: she was living in a beautiful dream before, and when she woke up, all the beauty created in the dream would dissipate.

And what you can see when you open your eyes is the bloody everything in front of you.

Catherine couldn't help but feel fortunate—compared with those who had already left the team, she "woke up" earlier, and the nobles who are still arrogant and conceited will eventually pay the price for this.

Is it cruel to throw these people into the forest to face the orcs?

From the nobleman's point of view, Roddy is pushing the other party into the pit of fire. But Catherine understands that this is actually the wisest choice: the kingdom is not good at "cooperation", but it is definitely good at "holding back". Keeping this group of scourges in the team will definitely cause big trouble for everyone at critical times !

Suo Deluoer can't do this. The "justice" in his heart is an absolutely idealized "justice": benevolent to all, loving to all, tolerant to all...

However, Rody was tired of this kind of moral bondage after being framed by the nobles of the kingdom again and again - he only looked at the "purpose" and "result", and was not interested in pursuing other things at all. Since it is necessary to ensure that everyone survives as much as possible, then this kind of guy who may threaten the team... must be driven out if he should be driven out.

There are many saints in prosperous times, and there are heroes in troubled times.

Roddy has no interest in being taken advantage of, so he has to take this path.

At this time, the scouts are constantly reporting information. Through the preliminary survey of the corpses in the forest, it has been confirmed that a team of more than 20 nobles have been murdered. And Rody's team at this time has reached the limit of the number of rescuers - it is not enough to fight a war, most of the private soldiers do not have the strength to compete with the orcs.

To be on the safe side, he had to transfer the entire team to Pakaro City, and it would be safe to withdraw into the city as soon as possible.

As for the other nobles in the forest, Rody no longer intends to save them. He is not the Holy Mother, and he doesn't want to do things like "a small loss that makes a big difference".

And just when the team was about to turn around, the needle-tailed sand cone hovering in the sky suddenly swooped down towards the ground. Before the podduck landed, Nata jumped down from the low altitude, stretched out her hand to hold the tree trunk, and jumped several times fall to the ground:

"Three kilometers to the north, there is an orc army gathering and approaching, the number of them is close to 300!"

The news she brought stopped everyone in their tracks.

Although the three hundred wolf cavalry could not compare to the more than four hundred troops at this time, in terms of combat effectiveness, the combatable soldiers like Rody might not be able to stop them at all...

After nearly ten charges and small-scale battles, the physical strength of all the cavalry and infantrymen dropped drastically. Although the reduction was not much, they no longer had the sharpness and vigor they had at the beginning. What's more, the team is complicated and cannot be coordinated and managed. If someone suddenly flees during the battle, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable!

Up to now, Rody has only one choice left: take everyone and run to Pakaro City at full speed.

Roddy's decision was decisive, and the whole team had no room for objection, because everyone knew the consequences of taking a step slower, so even the nobles who hadn't walked the same way on weekdays gritted their teeth and followed the team at this moment— — Those who can walk walk, and those who are too old are allocated horses to keep up. Catherine, as the only rescued noblewoman in the team, was originally allocated a horse, but she waved her hand and chose to refuse, and she just gritted her teeth to keep up Team up.

Perhaps it was her behavior that took the lead. Some viscounts and barons who were originally riding on horses also felt that it was a waste of resources for them to ride horses like this.

After all, there are very few nobles who are truly stupid. As the elites, they are very clear about one thing: the most life-saving right now is not the horses, but the soldiers with combat effectiveness.

Rody personally led the team at the rear, and the Knights of Wellington opened the way ahead. Everyone in the team of more than 400 people was tense, almost trotting all the way towards the outside of the forest...

In the middle of the line, Naifei bit her lip, her always lively little face was full of depression.

Akasha had been by her side all the time, so of course she noticed this, and when the team was walking in silence, she finally asked, "Nafe, do you think you did something wrong?"

"Ah I…"

Naifei raised her head, but she didn't know what to say—she just insisted on staying, why did she make Roddy angry?

Since she knew Roddy, she had never seen Roddy react like that. Naifei was flustered, she didn't like the feeling of hurting others.

"Actually you did nothing wrong."

Akasha looked ahead, stretched out her hand to push aside the branches in front of her, and said calmly, "It's his thinking that went wrong."

Naifei opened her mouth slightly. The relationship between her and Akasha is actually not close, because her mother Camilla doesn't like the priest, so Naifei rarely communicates with her on weekdays. But what Nafie knew very well... the calm-faced pastor in front of him was Roddy's partner.

She has a very good relationship with Roddy, and Nai Fei often sees the two of them together intimately, but why would she say that?

"Do you think that if you like someone, you have to say good things about him?"

The doubt in Naifei's eyes couldn't be concealed from Akasha, she smiled: "Everyone has shortcomings, and also has a past that they don't want to talk about. His attitude towards you... is actually a bit extreme, he hopes you can live To be stable and happy, so I did my best, but he didn't consider your feelings."
