Chapter 487 The Real Traitor

"I just... I just don't want to cause trouble for him. But now that I think about it, it seems that I'm really causing trouble by staying here..."

Naifei felt a little awkward. Of course she liked that Roddy doted on her like this. After all, every girl would not reject the feeling of being held in the palm of someone's hand, but if this kind of doting is "excessive"...the consequences would be disastrous.

"War itself is troublesome. You are the Arcanist, not the wounded."

Akasha looked at the girl in front of her, and didn't say any nonsense like "you have to cheer up", but just helped her straighten her robes: "use it if you have the ability, and solve it if you have any difficulties. If you don't Treat yourself like a child and do what you have to do."

&nb "Pig" "Pig" "Island" novels www.zhuzud.omsp; "Only Roddy is protecting you, don't you think about protecting him?"

This is actually a rhetorical question in Akasha's heart. From being rescued by Rody to the present, she is actually practicing this sentence.

Naifei stared at her blankly, as if meeting Akasha for the first time. She nodded half understanding, and the latter didn't say anything more after seeing this, and continued to inspect the wounded after drinking half a bottle of mana potion.

And Naifei quickly came back to her senses. She took out her wand, looked around, and immediately began to use zero-level spells such as "Levitation", "Mage Hand" and other zero-level spells to help the soldiers speed up—the spells were released one by one, many The slow-moving wounded quickly caught up with the team, which also accelerated the speed of the whole team a lot...

By this time, she had finally found her place in the team.

But Rody, who was at the rear of the team, couldn't notice this at this time. He was anxiously looking at the slow-moving team, thinking about the enemy's movements.

In the past, the team acted in a unified manner, and they had never carried so many "burdens" together. At this time, the marching speed was much slower than he expected. But there is no way right now, if the enemy catches up immediately, they can only delay this option as much as possible.

Nata had already stepped on the pintail to scout once. The role of rangers in conjunction with flying pets is undoubtedly prominent in this battle. The ability of "air reconnaissance" gave Rody the initiative on the battlefield - even "active retreat" is much better than being beaten passively.

Soderol's face was stern, and Rody knew that he was actually unwilling to kill Senna, but the march was important right now, so no one brought up this topic again.

The "Dragonlance Knights" followed behind the team silently and orderly, and the time gradually passed like this - twenty minutes later, the team left the edge of the "Da Vinci Forest". At this time, Nata's warning had not yet appeared.

When passing the slaughtered camp,

The whole team didn't stop for half a step. Just seeing the piles of human heads piled up on the grass, everyone's expressions became extremely ugly. Especially when seeing those noble girls who were insulted to death, Catherine and other nobles became short of breath...

But no one dared to stop, but accelerated forward instead. They all knew the fact that if they were caught up by the orcs behind, they would definitely end up in the same way.

Lady Luck seems to have sheltered the team, or maybe the three confident barons "blocked the gun" for them. After Godard fought fiercely, he was extremely disappointed to find that these guys were not the "enemies" he was looking for at all-he didn't believe that this group of rookie private soldiers could kill his elite, so after a short Continue to search after the rest.

When the wolf cavalry squad finally confirmed that a 400-man troop had left the forest, Rody and the others had already arrived outside the city of Pakaro.

The figure of the pintail crossed the sky, and the sound of blazing arrows indicated that the wolf cavalry brigade behind had spotted their tracks and would arrive here within half an hour.

But for Roddy and others, they can breathe a sigh of relief now.

The soldiers stopped panting, and the nobles looked at the blue-gray stone city wall, silently thanking the gods. The armor of many people had already been soaked with sweat, Catherine had a few blisters on the soles of her feet, and more than a dozen barons and viscounts who followed on foot sat on the ground with pale faces...

As long as they entered the city, these wolf cavalry would not be able to threaten them.

With this in mind, the team of more than 400 people rushed directly to the city. However, what surprised them was that all the gates of Pakaro City had been closed!

"Guards! Open the door! Let us in!"

The impatient noble opened his mouth and shouted upwards, but the soldier standing behind the battlement stuck his head out, looked at it for a few moments, then shrank back, and there was no response.

"Guard, I am Sally Lucifron, the lord of Efta, and I order you as the Duke of the Kingdom——open the city gate!"

Roddy, Soderol, Wellington, Titus and others surrounded Sally and came to the front. As the lord, she didn't let her subordinates shout, and directly asked for it.

However, what responded to her was a rather familiar voice:

"Kill her! She is a traitor to the kingdom colluding with the orcs!"

Accompanied by these words, more than a dozen crossbow arrows suddenly poured down from the city wall!

Sally's face changed, but she didn't dodge. When the crossbow struck, at least five shields appeared in front of her. The knight's "battle spirit" shield, Akasha's "magic" shield and Nephi's "arcane" shield were cast instantly. Bounce all the crossbow arrows away.

And Rody raised his bow to fight back, and he just killed three guards who were closer!

This counter-kill made the soldiers on the city wall dumbfounded, and their firepower suddenly came to a standstill——

"Kill him! Use the ballista! Idiot!"

But there were a few exasperated yells on the city wall again, and then the "click" sound of the giant ballista winch immediately sounded, and Rody and Soderol looked at each other with serious expressions.

They all recognized that it was Senna who spoke.

"Back!"

Suo Deluoer led the people back immediately, and Rody directly replaced the "Explosive Arrow" and shot upwards. The precise arrow blew up the ballista that was rotating and aiming on the base, and at the same time killed several soldiers who were operating it. …

"Kill him! Shoot! Get up and shoot!"

Senna's voice was already undisguised, and his actions made Roddy feel an unprecedented anger: judging from the fact that the other party dared to tear open his face and attack Sally, Pacaro City may no longer be able to become this team. The sanctuary in the wilderness - and exposed to the threat of the orc wolf cavalry in the wilderness, this team is absolutely doomed!

This is a typical example of one of your own harming your own!

Baron Panini, the lord of the city, has been killed, and Senna is a prestigious nobleman. After returning, he and Viscount Anru quickly gained control of the original "city defense army" with the help of four orc heads, and quickly deployed their soldiers...

So now the city wall is completely guarded by Viscount Anru!

Facing two mortal enemies, Rody knew that the city gate might not be able to be opened—he really wanted to kill the city wall directly, but Paloka City was not a small fortified city at all, and the city wall of seventeen or eight meters had already stood for two to three hundred years. In 1999, it was impossible to go up without siege equipment.

There were more and more soldiers on the city wall, under the rain of arrows, Rody could only retreat. However, he continued to shoot under the cover of the four protective panels, forcibly suppressing the firepower of half the city wall. The team behind them all retreated two hundred meters away before stopping.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire team fell into an unprecedented embarrassment.

Except for Sally and others, the rescued nobles of the kingdom like Catherine could not have imagined that they would encounter the problem of "difficult to enter the city". However, when they came to ask the reason, the truth of the matter made most of them silent.

The Mirno family colluded with the assassination plan of the "Viper Cross"...

Use the mine auction to attract most nobles to come...

The sudden attack and massacre of orcs...

The nobles never believed in coincidences. When the city gates were closed and everyone was forced to face the enemy, everyone had to admit the fact that they were all counted!

"Even now, Senna still has the face to call me a 'traitor'... I don't know who is the real traitor!"

Sally was extremely sensitive to this word. Back then, her brother Francis had colluded with the orcs to kill him. I thought that no one in the kingdom would be so insane, but Senna actually did the same thing...

She was angry, but after being angry, she was helpless—"What should we do now? Are we going to fight the orcs?"

Looking back, the nobles and soldiers in the team were all travel-stained, because most of them were sitting on the ground and gasping for breath because they were desperately rushing before...

Titus and the Knight of Wellington didn't come up with random ideas, they just moved forward with their swords, silently expressing their loyalty.

Suo Deluoer did not speak, his battlefield experience is now considered rich, and he naturally understands the consequences of fighting a tough battle at this time. Although the "Dragonlance Knights" are well-equipped and the barbarian infantry are also physically strong, this does not mean that they are all "combat puppets" with unlimited physical strength--soldiers without physical strength are no different from civilians. looking for death.

But he never opened his mouth. In such a life and death situation, if he really wanted to lead his troops forward, Suo Deluoer would still not have any hesitation.

"Or go to a nearby village and hide?"

"Where is the nearest fortress?"

"Where should we go?"

The nobles who approached were also asking in low voices, but their eyes were full of confusion—most of them knew nothing about military affairs, and their judgment at this time was simply not as good as that of a few great knights.

And at this moment, Rody, who had been silent all along, finally scanned the "map bar" and said: "Now is not the time for a battle. Even if we fight, it will have to be postponed until tomorrow."

The surroundings fell silent, and everyone looked at the "temporary" commander.

"The orcs can't move at night because they are generally night blind, and they will stop chasing once it gets dark. As long as we are not overtaken before sunset, we still have a chance."

His words immediately caused an uproar.

"Really? Orcs are night blind?"

"how do you know?"

The nobles who had never known orcs questioned, but Rody didn't bother to explain. He jumped off the "Train King", drew a simple map with a dagger on the compacted dirt road in front of the city, and frowned at Sally and the three The big knight said: "The orcs are chasing from the north, and they will arrive soon. If we go around the city now, enter the woodland from the southeast to hide, and then go around and rush back to the 'Da Vinci Forest', they will be there in a short time. You can't find it inside."

"Then we headed towards the village east of the forest. If the team can get supplies in the village at night, then tomorrow morning... the soldiers will have the strength to fight back."

"It's too risky—"

A nobleman next to him interjected.

"If you don't take risks, you die!"

Rody interrupted the other party directly, and raised his foot to smooth the map. His expression was calm and scary: "Death now or let them die tomorrow, which one do you choose?"

Another: I saw some people say that the style of writing has become white or something, but I actually don’t know what your standard for judging “white” is. I have always been committed to constantly changing and improving my writing style. Seriously speaking, each volume of this book will have a different style, because I am constantly trying new writing methods. If I see a writing mode that readers respond well to, I will immediately copy and fill it without changing it. It's really boring.

I am not afraid of losing readers after changing the mode, because if I don’t try, my thinking will be completely imprisoned in the future. Many authors write worse and worse because of this. From the author’s point of view, I can’t stop this kind of writing. Try it, even if you don't like it.
