Roddy listened to Sodlor's words, but his eyes were lowered - this action made him look as if he was sleeping, but in fact he was covering up his anger... Three months said it was not long or short, and the news of his "fake death in an avalanche" relaxed the vigilance of the undead, and obviously brought a lot of trouble to Duke Angma.

These short-sighted nobles have a dog-like sense of interests around them, but they always turn a blind eye to possible invasions on the border.

Roddy looked at Camilla, who was a little low, and stood up and said, "To talk about this today, if you have any ideas, you can find me anytime."

He did not expect Camilla to stand opposite the "Holy Council" immediately, so he left a buffer time, and then stopped saying anything, turned around and asked Soderol about Sora's post about the news.

"Click."

Camilla, sitting on the bed, looked out of her mind at the closed wooden door, but she did not sense everything around her again - she slowly exhaled, her heart full of unspeakable complex emotions... Her fingers tightly and loosened, and tension and uneasiness still lingered in her heart, but what occupied her mind was more doubts about Roddy.

He could make himself a slave with just a few words, but he didn't do that.

He seemed to be just an inconspicuous nobleman in the kingdom, but he expressed the essence of the "Holy Council" in just a few words.

In Camilla's original impression, Roddy was just a martial artist, but had the combat power and courage that ordinary people could not reach. However, after the conversation just now, Roddy's image in her eyes suddenly changed drastically - a leader with strong self-control? Or a wise man hidden under the young surface?

She understood that she could no longer regard Roddy as an ordinary person. Humans who could understand the importance of "rechargeable crystals" and master the "high-elf literature" were a bit beyond their cognition. The things he showed even reminded Camilla of the old guys inside the "Holy Society".

However, it doesn’t matter how mysterious Roddy is. After realizing that he can’t get out of this city, Camilla’s most worried question now is... what should I do?

Do you want to ask for help like Roddy?

Such thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind, and Camilla looked at the closed door and fell into deep thought.

"Because I have been not very at ease with the city, I was sure to send troops through the forests on the periphery to contact Hanks, but the feedback was not optimistic."

Soderol and Roddy walked side by side. The former young lieutenant had become increasingly mature in constant battle and tempering. In the past three months when Roddy was "missed", he arranged the troops in an orderly manner, and military leadership was undoubtedly highlighted. Although he was a little worried in his words at this time, he was obviously confident enough to solve all this.

"Tell me carefully."

Roddy narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the mountains in the distance, his voice seemed a little cold.

"After we left, there were five lords who arrived there, with a total of more than one thousand troops. However, because the orc threat had been lifted, they quickly evacuated one after another. During this period, their attitude towards Hanks... were not very friendly."

"Not very friendly" is a polite statement. In fact, these lords directly threw Hanks aside completely and took over the Sora post. After all, Roddy left behind a small number of troops, and because the main force has never heard of him, they can only choose to tolerate and accommodate when facing the lord's arrogant troops.

"Hanks said that during this period, the troops had clashed with the lords, and although they were finally suppressed, he obviously suffered a lot of insults. However, he never revealed that there was any news about us to these nobles, but he just informed the Duke of a secret letter."

"The mind is pretty active."

Roddy just gave a comment and said nothing else. He was in a bad mood and always had a bad temper in his tone. Because there were no maids or servants here, Soderol did not arrange soldiers to serve his daily life, so he poured Roddy a cup of hot water himself, then sat on a wooden chair, and whispered: "Hanks is not idle either. He is always in touch with Duke Angma. The latest news I received said that some nobles used some means to reduce the Duke's taxes and were ready to take action against Palling and the Wood Elf, so I think we must take measures."

"It's not difficult to pack up a group of borers who are not good enough to do anything."

Roddy shook her head, then asked a seemingly unrelated question: "How many 'rechargeable crystals in the city have been found? Have you counted it?"

Soderol was stunned and quickly replied: "There are 157 pieces in total, and only 38 pieces are still energy-rich. This is the data counted by Pastor Akasha."

Such numbers made Roddy raise his eyebrows - he thought there would be at least a thousand dollars, how could it be so small?

Elson is the pinnacle of the high-elf defense system. Its defense ability is far beyond the current level of human castles, but at the cost, its energy supply problem is also very prominent. This principle is the same as "the fuel consumption of a large horsepower car is amazing". It is an inevitable problem.

According to the book "On Self-awareness of the Defense System", if you want to start the inner city defense of this city, the number of crystals required is about 1,500, while the full launch of the outer city defense requires at least 5,000 yuan.

The 6,500 "charged crystals" are the minimum standard to ensure the start of defense in the entire city. If a war occurs, this number will be at least ten times more than it can maintain the consumption of a war.

Roddy breathed a sigh of relief. The gains brought by this victory were too rich, but they were also amazing. - He was the "city lord" who could not afford it.

Elson didn't have the "rechargeable crystal" thing, and there were only two ways to obtain it: either go to the Wagra ruins of Jingyu Forest, use the large number of crystals hidden underground, or... make it yourself.

But at present, the crystals in Wagra ruins are not enough, and mastering manufacturing technology is an inevitable path to restore Elson's original defense level.

However, Camilla said that there is a volume of the "Rechargeable Crystal Production Theory" that was placed in the hands of Nafi in Mogra Village, so-

Roddy's eyes narrowed, and he gradually had a plan in his mind: "Elson City will be our largest development base in the future, but what we need to solve at the moment is the problem with the Duke, because if the war breaks out, it will be our big rear."

Soderol understood his plan and reminded him: "Our troops are currently in short supply. In such a large city, if you want to defend, you need at least two thousand standing troops."

"Leave the troops issue to me, and I will return to Sora's post tomorrow."

Roddy drank the hot water from the water cup, got up and walked out of the house.

A hundred days of separation is only a flash of fingers for Roddy, but for Akasha, he lives like a year.

Akasha can never hide her worries. She is not as capable of gritting her teeth and resisting the pressure like Sodlor and continues to command the troops in an orderly manner. She cannot remain as cold as Nata, wandering on the city wall all day long, as if nothing had happened.

Roddy was still alive and dead, and the uneasiness in her heart always made Akasha unable to fall asleep at night... As a result, her dark circles became more and more serious, her chin became pointed, her waist became thinner, and her face became paler. The originally plump beauty pastor now has a hint of ill haggardness.

Because of the emergence of the "League of the Dead", Akasha was under a lot of pressure... The soldiers' gazes mixed with respect and fear made her feel that she had become a "monster", so she gradually stayed away from the crowd, studied magic tricks alone in the room all day long, or was plagued by nightmares, staring sleepily at the towering magic tower, sleeplessly...

Fortunately, today, all the nervousness finally disappeared. After seeing Roddy walk out of the magic tower intact, she was tired and finally felt relieved and took a good sleep at Roddy's request.

When I woke up, the sky outside the window was already dim.

"cough."

Akasha rubbed her eyes, but felt something was different around her. Then she realized that there was a magic circle in her bedroom, so that she was not as dark as before.

The light dispelled the darkness and drove away Akasha's fear. She stood up and looked around curiously, not understanding why this was happening.

"Dada."

As soon as the bedroom door was knocked, Akasha frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Who is it?

But when he heard the answer outside the door, Akasha was stunned for a moment, and her heart began to jump up in a mess - Roddy came to find himself in the bedroom? What does he... mean?

She hurriedly opened the door, but saw Roddy standing outside the door with a wooden water cup in her hand. When the two of them met, Akasha did not move away from her eyes as shyly as before, but stared at Roddy carefully for a long time.

“What are you looking at?”

Roddy put the water cup for Akasha on the wooden table next to him and pushed forward. Seeing his movements, Akasha felt warm and whispered: "It's okay... I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm afraid of forgetting what you look like."

After saying this, Akasha lowered her head shyly: She usually doesn't have the courage to express her mood so bluntly.

Roddy was a little stuck and looked at Akasha, but she felt that her appearance was really distressing... Looking at Akasha's cheek, he sighed and said, "You have lost a lot."

"ah"

Akasha then remembered that her dark circles were ugly, and she quickly turned her head to prevent Roddy from seeing them, and whispered: "Am I becoming ugly?"

"No, I feel uncomfortable just seeing you like this."

Roddy wasn't so stupid that she said girls were ugly. Besides, Akasha could be called a beauty no matter what she used to be, so it had nothing to do with "ugliness". He just felt a little guilty inside - after all, this stupid little priest became like this because of himself.

Akasha's lips turned slightly raised - this guy actually cared about him very much.

But she immediately remembered Camilla who walked out of the magic tower with Roddy, but her heart was a little sour and asked in a low voice: "By the way, why didn't the woman who entered the tower with you leave here yet?"

"She...is probably can't leave?"

"Why?"

Akasha's heart jumped up. She had long noticed that Roddy's attitude towards Camilla was wrong. The woman's intuition made her feel that something was strange. Could it be that Roddy said this because she was staying here? Or was something happened to Roddy in the tower?

Looking at Akasha who was burning with the gossip soul, Roddy sighed in her heart that the woman's ideas could not be understood at all, so she had to briefly explain Camilla's current abilities and roles - and after hearing this, Akasha pouted and frowned: "Then she has become your 'deputy officer,?"

As a follower of Roddy, Akasha has always cared about this "identity", but she soon felt relieved... Anyway, Camilla could not leave Elson, and if Roddy went somewhere else, Camilla would have to stare here.

Humph, just a guy who is not threatening.

"I won't discuss her affairs for now. I want to tell you something," Roddy finally got to the point, then looked into Akasha's eyes and whispered: "I'm going to return to Sora's post tomorrow and then go back to Hollier City."

"Let's leave tomorrow? I'll go clean up later."

Akasha was about to get up, but Roddy reached out and pressed her shoulders on her shoulders—"I want to say...I hope you stay here and help me guard the city for a while."

"I...what?"

Akasha, who was originally full of joy, had a solid expression and looked at Roddy blankly, unable to speak for a moment.
