Chapter 488: The Undead Appeared
Regarding the orc habits, the only one with the highest speaking voice in the team is Roddy. No one else can know about the orc's "night blindness" incident. However, Roddy used this to raid the orc's camp two years ago - with a record in front of him, all the dissent disappeared.
So the team immediately changed direction, trying their best to clear the traces while moving. The team of 400 people ran counterclockwise from the north gate toward the south gate. The crowd gritted their teeth and walked for more than 30 minutes. Finally, they circled a large circle under the threat of sporadic arrows in the south wall, safely entered the woodland bordering southeast of Pacaro City, and disappeared from Viscount Sena's vision...
"Run! You'll die sooner or later!"
Senna finally dared to poke his head out from behind the wall - he was really afraid of Roddy's terrifying archery skills. The scene of the opponent fighting against the Wolf Cavalry Squad alone has become an indelible nightmare. Seeing the opponent escape at this time, he was afraid of revenge and really felt "unable to sleep and eat".
I am the heir to the Milno family! Why should I be afraid of a bullshit baron?
He took a deep breath, tried hard 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 I'll send it out now!"
Senna knew very well that after his private troops were wiped out, he could only rely on Viscount An Ru'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 troops to help immediately, the faster the better...
But before he could take a few steps, a soldier shouted on the city wall: "The orc is here! The orc is here!"
"Here you come, you'll be here. Do they still dare to attack the city? Just guard the city gate!"
Senna cursed a few times in a panic, rode a horse back to the north wall from the corridor, and then saw the scene of hundreds of wolf cavalry gathering...
These orcs have never seen a big city of this level. The blue-gray walls of more than ten meters make them afraid. Even Godard had to admit that when the city gates were closed, "siege" was simply nonsense!
"It actually gave them a first step... These rabbit-like humans!"
Godard spat, feeling a little bored - they had already locked in Roddy's team, but they rushed to the other side of the city. Faced with this situation, Godard, who had only a little understanding of the human city, naturally thought that they had entered the city.
What would you do if this group of timid humans didn't enter the city? If Godard led the team, he would also choose to rely on the city wall to protect himself.
This is Roddy's intention to choose to "circle". If he just enters the forest directly from the east of the city, then the orcs behind can always lock their positions and judge their intentions. However, after using the blind spot to avoid vision, these wolf cavalry could only be angry that they were one step late...
They never thought that their target had escaped under their noses.
*******
Roddy, who had already entered the forest, finally let go of her frowning brow at this time.
Not only him, but all the tense nobles and soldiers in the team breathed a sigh of relief. Those guys who had complained before were now convinced. Many barons actually came to apologize for their previous misconduct. Although there were a lot of negative news about the "noble" group, as the elite class of this society, they still had many advantages.
On weekdays, nobles may only know how to enjoy happiness, but when faced with the pressure of survival, many people will show a completely different side from usual.
"Baron Roddy, my private soldiers can break up and mix into your unit. If there is a fight, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with them..."
"I don't have a few people left there, but if I really want to fight, I can still go to the battlefield. If I need it, just put me in the team."
Roddy's face was actually very bad: he had some hope for the nobles of the kingdom, but Senna's behavior disappointed him... because the royal family is behind the Milno family, and all these actions are likely - or basically all caused by the royal family!
He fought for two years just to preserve the country when the war came. However, when the orcs really arrived, the nobles and the royal family gave him a "surprise gift pack".
Roddy felt a sense of frustration as if he was "a passionate blood was applied to the ground".
However, the aristocrats in front of him relieved him from his extreme loss. At least their existence proved that this country was not completely corrupt-
"Dear Barons and Viscount, you can't tell me about going to the battlefield. If the orcs have not been chasing us, maybe we can directly reach the nearest fortress tomorrow. What you need to do now is to try to preserve your physical strength, adjust your condition, and never fall behind..."
In fact, the team is facing the dilemma of "physical limit", and more and more soldiers have slowed down. If Roddy had not slowed down in order to slow down without the pursuit of orcs, he would have probably been left behind now.
At this time, the team had been moving in the forest for an hour. The information reported by Nata's aerial reconnaissance shows that the orcs are still outside Pacaro City. After confirming their safety, Roddy finally gave the order "stop and rest for twenty minutes" by a river.
"Try to feed the horses as much as possible. When you go to the stream to fetch water, you must have a cavalry escort! There are not only orcs in the forest. I don't want to see the unlucky person who dies under the mouths of poisonous snakes or monsters!"
"Yes! Commander!"
"Elwin! You bring a few people nearby to collect food that you can eat and try to replenish your soldiers."
"Yes! Boss!"
The team was very quiet at this time because people couldn't even say anything tired. Roddy walked around and roughly counted the current situation, but also met Catherine who was bandaging the wounded. The latter was almost two extremes from the long dress he had yesterday. She tied up her long hair and was covered in various blood and mud on her hunting suit, but she seemed to care.
Seeing Roddy coming, she stood up very respectfully and whispered: "Thank you, Baron Roddy, I apologize for my arrogant and rude yesterday."
Her words were extremely sincere, as if she had changed her personal, but Roddy did not have many surprises. In the face of war, anyone would make changes, some would be fragile and collapse, and some would become stronger.
Katherine is more like a "head nurse" at this time. She took the initiative to follow Akasha to help treat the wounded. She is still very tired until now, but the firmness in her eyes is far from comparable to before.
Roddy didn't say much. In a noble team like her, she was just a squad. After experiencing the cruelty of reality, the entire team had a very high "cohesion" - to be honest, this team is now a "sad soldier".
While continuing to walk in the team, Roddy inevitably met Nafi. He sighed in a complicated mood, but he was a little afraid to come forward and talk to her.
Now that Roddy knows that his "silence" to Nefi is a mistake. To put it bluntly... his depression and confusion can be attributed to the four words "too much is not as long as it is".
The "loss" he once cherished, but when "loss" passes through the boundaries, it will become an unspeakable burden, which makes both parties breathless - his excessive favor of Nefi is actually a manifestation of losing his mind.
Roddy was very regretful when she realized this, but if he was allowed to return to the day he met Nafi, he would still choose to spoil her like this... After all, people cannot be rational for the rest of their lives. Nafi will always be Roddy's knot, and this cannot be changed.
Feelings can never be turned into data for analysis.
Nefi in the distance seemed to notice his gaze. Her spell casting gesture paused, and the simple "carrying technique" failed to cast the spell because of her confusion. When she turned around, she saw Roddy's face full of guilt.
What does he want to say?
Is he no longer angry?
Will he still treat me like he used to?
Nafei felt her heart beating very fast. She was so weird that she was so eccentric that she couldn't even say a word. Roddy didn't hesitate for too long. He simply walked over and whispered: "Nefei, I, I-I-I shouldn't be treating you like that...I'm too selfish."
Selfish, yes, I have always regarded Nefi as a "item" that needs protection, but I have not regarded her as an independent person... This is naked selfishness.
"No...it's okay, it's me, I'm too..."
But before Nefi could finish his words, Elvin's roar suddenly came from a distance: "What's wrong with him! Don't go over! Stay away from him!"
The calm atmosphere was instantly broken. The soldiers on the periphery stood up alertly and drew their swords in a formation. Soderol took the temporary motor squad and ran towards the place where the shouts appeared. Roddy glanced at Nafi. The latter knew that he was going to go there too, so he didn't say anything more and said directly: "Brother Roddy, be careful!"
Roddy nodded, then started the "sprint" and ran to the distance. Nafei, who was still in the same place, took a deep breath, as if he had untied a big knot in order to shout "Brother Roddy" again...
However, the problem before Roddy could not relax. When he rushed to the position about a hundred meters outside the team, he was seeing Erwin using a tomahawk to drive a private soldier.
Why do private soldiers attack Erwin?
Roddy was puzzled, but then he noticed that the "private soldier" was very stiff. His walking posture and attacking method were very unusual. Coupled with the other party's pale cheeks, a noun immediately appeared in Roddy's mind: "Dead"!
Erwin had never seen the undead. He only realized that something was wrong with the barbarian intuition about living creatures. So in the face of the opponent's attack, he easily blocked the enemy two meters in front of him with the advantage of height and arm length. After seeing this, Roddy did not hesitate and made a gesture directly at Soderol, who rushed over directly-
"puff!"
The undead's head was cut off directly, but the blood did not splatter everywhere like a living person. Instead, it just slowly flowed out after the body fell.
"Don't get close! Be careful of corpse poison!"
Roddy looked around and quickly arranged: "Strengthen the alert and let Sally and Akasha purify the water source!"
After saying that, he paused, raised his hand to change the title of "The Last Demon Hunter" to "The Undead Slaughter", and then carefully examined the corpse.
