Chapter 488: Undead Appears
Regarding the habits of the orcs, the only person in the team with the highest say is Rody. No one else knew about the "night blindness" of the orcs. However, Rody used this fact to raid the orc camp two years ago-with the record in front of him, all dissenting voices disappeared.
So the team immediately turned around, trying to move while trying to clean up the traces. A team of 400 people ran counterclockwise from the north city gate to the south city gate. They gritted their teeth and marched for more than 30 minutes. Finally, under the threat of sporadic arrows on the south city wall, they made a large circle and entered Paka safely. The woodland bordering the southeast of Luocheng disappeared from the sight of Viscount Senna...
"Run! You will all die sooner or later!"
At this time Senna finally dared to poke his head out from behind the battlement wall—=pig=pig=island=novel ww. Seeing the other party run away at this time, he really felt "difficult to sleep and eat" because he was afraid of revenge.
I am the heir of the Mirno family! Why be afraid of a shitty baron?
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the panic in his heart, and asked the soldiers beside him, "Where is the carrier pigeon? I want to write a letter and send it now!"
Senna knew very well that after his private army was wiped out, he could only rely on Viscount Anru's soldiers to control the situation. However, this Viscount could not be used as a "subordinate", so the most urgent task was to ask his father to send him immediately. The military is here to help, the sooner the better...
But before he could take a few steps, a soldier on the city wall shouted, "The orcs are coming! The orcs are coming!"
"Come here, don't they dare to attack the city? Just keep the city gate!"
Senna cursed a few words angrily, and rode back to the north city wall from the corridor, and then saw the scene of hundreds of wolf cavalry gathering...
These orcs had never seen a big city of this level, and the blue-gray city wall of more than ten meters made them daunting. Even Godard had to admit that when the city gate was closed, "siege" was simply nonsense!
"Let them take the lead...this group of rabbit-like humans!"
Godard spat, feeling a little annoyed in his heart—they had already locked on Roddy's team, but their haste made them go around to the other side of the city. Godard, who knew a little bit, took it for granted that they had already entered the city.
How dare this group of cowardly humans not enter the city? If Godard leads the team, he will also choose to rely on the city wall to protect himself.
This is Roddy's intention of choosing "circle",
If he just entered the forest directly from the east side of the city, then the orcs behind could always lock their position and judge their intentions, but after using the blind spot to avoid their vision, these wolf cavalry could only be angry that they came a step late...
It never occurred to them that their target had already escaped under their noses.

And Rody, who had already entered the forest, finally loosened his frowning brows.
Not only him, but all the tense nobles and soldiers in the team breathed a sigh of relief. Those guys who were quite critical before are now convinced, and many barons even came here to apologize for their previous faux pas—although There are a lot of negative news about the "nobility" group, but as the elite class of this society, they still have a lot of merit.
On weekdays, nobles may only know how to enjoy life and have fun, but facing the pressure of survival, many people will show a completely different side from usual.
"Baron Rody, my private soldiers can be scattered and mixed into your army formation. If there is a battle, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with them..."
"I don't have many people left, but if I really want to fight, I can still go to the battlefield. If necessary, I can be included in the team at any time."
Roddy's complexion was actually terrible: he originally had some hopes for the nobles of the kingdom, but Senna's behavior disappointed him...Because the Milno family is behind the royal family, all of the current behaviors are very likely—or basically It's all the royal family's fault!
He struggled for two years just to save the country when the war came, but when the orcs really came, the nobles and royal family gave him a "surprise gift package".
Roddy felt a sense of frustration of "smearing blood on the ground".
However, the few nobles in front of him relieved him a lot from the extreme loss. At least their existence proved that this country was not completely decayed——
"My lords, barons and viscounts, it's still uncertain what will happen on the battlefield. If the orcs haven't chased us all this time, maybe we'll be able to reach the nearest fortress directly tomorrow. What you have to do now is to conserve your energy as much as possible and adjust your condition. Don't fall behind..."
In fact, the team is indeed facing the dilemma of "limited physical strength" now, and more and more soldiers have slowed down. If Rody hadn't slowed down because there were no orcs chasing him, I'm afraid there would have been quite a few soldiers. People fall behind.
At this time, the team had been advancing in the forest for an hour. The information reported by Nata's aerial reconnaissance indicated that the orcs were still outside Pakaro City. ten minutes" order.
"Feed the horses as much as possible, and you must have a cavalry escort when you go to the stream to fetch water! There are not only orcs in the forest. I don't want to see unlucky ghosts who die at the mouth of poisonous snakes or monsters!"
"Yes! Commander!"
"Erwin! You lead a few people to collect edible food nearby, and try to let the soldiers replenish their strength."
"Yes! Boss!"
The team is very quiet at this time, because people are basically tired and can't speak. Rody walked around and roughly counted the current situation, but at the same time, he also ran into Catherine, who was helping the wounded to bandage the wound. The latter was almost the opposite of yesterday's long dress—she had her long hair tied up. , all kinds of blood and mud were all over her hunting suit, but she didn't seem to care.
Seeing Roddy coming, she stood up and saluted very respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Baron Rody, I apologize for my arrogance and rudeness yesterday."
Her words were extremely sincere, and she seemed to be a different person, but Rody wasn't too surprised. In the face of war, everyone will make changes. Some people are fragile and broken, and some people will become stronger.
Catherine was more like a "head nurse" at this time. She took the initiative to follow Akasha to help treat the wounded. Up to now, she was exhausted, but the firmness in her eyes was far from what it used to be.
Rody didn't say much, Bibi was in a noble team like her. After experiencing the cruelty of reality, the "cohesion" of the whole team was extremely high-to be honest, this team is now "underdogs".
As he continued to walk in the team, Roddy inevitably ran into Naifei. He sighed with complicated emotions, but he was a little afraid to go forward and talk to her.
Up to now, Rody knows that his "silence" towards Naifei is a mistake in itself. To put it bluntly...his depression and confusion can be attributed to the words "too much to go too far".
The "lost" in the past made him cherish it even more, but when the "cherishing" exceeded the limit, it would become an unspeakable burden, making both parties a little breathless——his excessive love for Nai Fei was actually already a burden. Loss of sanity performance.
Realizing this, Rody regretted it very much, but if he was allowed to go back to the day when he reunited with Nafie, he would still choose to spoil her like this... After all, it is impossible for a person to be rational all his life, and Nafei will always be in Rody's heart. This cannot be changed.
Emotions can never be turned into data for analysis.
Nefer in the distance seemed to have noticed his gaze. Her gesture of casting the spell paused, and the simple "carrying technique" failed because of confusion. When she turned her head, she saw Roddy's face full of guilt .
What is he going to say?
Is he not angry anymore?
Will he still treat me like before?
Nai Fei felt her heart was beating very fast, but her tongue was so dry that she was usually eccentric, and she couldn't speak a word. And Rody didn't hesitate for too long, he simply walked over and said in a low voice: "Nafei, I, I——I shouldn't have treated you like that...I'm too selfish."
Selfishness, yes, I have always regarded Nai Fei as an "object" that needs to be protected, but I have not regarded her as an independent person... This is naked selfishness.
"No...it's okay, it's me, my wife..."
But before Naifei finished speaking, Erwin's roar suddenly came from a distance: "There is something wrong with him! Don't go there! Stay away from him!"
The calm atmosphere was broken in an instant. The soldiers on the periphery stood up vigilantly and drew their swords to line up. Soderol led the temporary mobile team and rode towards the place where the shouts appeared. Rody glanced at Nai Fei, who Knowing that he was going to go there, he didn't say anything more, and said directly: "Brother Luo Di, be careful!"
Roddy nodded, and then started "sprinting" and ran to the distance. Nai Fei, who stayed where he was, took a deep breath, as if he had untied a big knot in his heart to be able to call out "Brother Rody" again...
However, the problems before Rody made him unable to relax. When he rushed to a position about 100 meters away from the team, he saw Erwin kicking away a private soldier with a tomahawk.
Why did the private soldiers attack Erwin?
Rody was puzzled, but then he noticed that the "private soldier" was very stiff. His walking posture and attacking methods are very unusual, coupled with the other party's pale cheeks, a term immediately popped up in Rody's mind: "Undead"!
Erwin has never seen undead, he just realized that something was wrong with the opponent based on the barbarian's instinct for living things, so facing the opponent's attack, he easily blocked the enemy two meters in front of him by virtue of his height and arm length. After seeing this scene, Rody didn't hesitate, and made a gesture to Suo Deluoer, and the latter rode his horse and rushed over——
"puff!"
The head of the undead was directly chopped off, but the blood did not splatter like a living person at all, but only flowed out slowly after the corpse fell.
"Stay away! Watch out for corpse poison!"
Rody looked around and quickly arranged: "Strengthen your vigilance and let Sally and Akasha purify the water source!"
After finishing speaking, he paused, raised his hand and changed the title of "The Last Demon Hunter" to "Undead Slayer", and then carefully inspected the corpse.
