Demon Lord

Chapter 20: Chop first

"Dear Sally, according to plan, the team should leave for Finks Village tomorrow, but Uncle Smith I am looking for seems to be back tomorrow. In order not to delay the trip, you go there with the team today. ? "

In the eyes of outsiders, the young Count Francis was always polite to her sister Sally, and she did not leak words.

He has navy blue eyes and looks handsome. Although he is not wearing gorgeous clothes at this time, he still has the aristocratic atmosphere that ordinary people cannot reach.

Sally, standing in front of him this year, is sixteen years old, which is the golden age for girls to grow up. Her long blonde hair is extremely dazzling in the sun, her skin is very fair, and there are no freckles that most children would have at this age. The egg-face, light gray linen dress is the same as the peasant women not far away, but because of her slender figure, she has a different temperament.

Facing Francis' words, she turned to Sally, who was beckoning to some children in the distance, and said softly, "So ... I need a person to go to Finks Village today?"

"That seems to be the case. Uncle Smith has helped me a lot--hey, he made this sword for me." Francis took off his sabre and stared at the excellently maintained blade in the sun. "This is my first sword. He has been with me for more than ten years. It is a witness to the growth of my sword."

"It's also worth thanking the blacksmith." Sally had two lovely dimples at the corners of her mouth when she laughed. "But then, don't you really need me here with you?"

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a very normal series of dialogue between an innocent little girl and her brother, but maybe only Francis will notice the slyness hidden in Sally's eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm more suitable for riding fast horses than you. Even if my father doesn't let me ride the carriage, I have to make you suffer too-speaking, I still have reservations about my father's decision." Hehe shifted the topic and did not intend to answer positively.

In the end, Sally did not continue to question, and casually told him to pay attention to safety. Before long, he took five attendants and a maid on the way to the next village.

Francis looked at her sister's back, her eyes gradually narrowed, her lips narrowed slightly.

Drooping his eyes, the young earl's face seemed to be faintly struggling, but he eventually gritted his teeth, took out a letter made of straw paper from his arms, and tore it again after reading it again , Gently chanting a spell, summoned a small cluster of flames in the palm, and slowly burned the grass sandpaper that only beasts can use.

In the distance, the **** the horse pulled the reins gently, as if suddenly remembered something, turned and asked a middle-aged guard beside him: "Uncle Gesen, how many years have you not seen Ever been an orc? "

With Sally going to Finks Village, there were five guards and a maid. At this time, the guard Captain Gerson who was next to Sally should be regarded as one of the veterans watching the young girl grow up. Now his physical condition has passed its peak, but the combat experience and insight are far younger than him. The soldiers are much richer. After listening to Sally's question, Old Gerson thought about it, and replied, "Should it be thirteen years? The last time I fought with these guys ... I had scars on my knees, and now it still hurts a little bit on rainy days Then. "

"It must hurt ... I'm sorry to remind you of these things," Sally didn't make a sincere apology, and Gerson, who was familiar with her, understood her kindness, and would not refuse her apology, just to reply curiously. Asked: "How did Miss Sally think about asking these things? Do you think the orcs will appear in the border villages?"

Sally shook her head, but thoughtfully thought, and asked, "If-I mean, if there are orcs attacking the village, do you think ... the security forces of these villages are sufficient for their defense?"

She is still the slightly curious expression, but no one can see the coldness behind her gaze.

"It's true that after walking in these villages, I really don't think they have this ability. The scouts set up by Lord Duke here are not combat teams. They have no fighting power at all, they are only used as a warning Report, there is no resistance at all when encountering orcs. "Old Gerson frowned." Do you think there will be danger? "

I have been together for so long, and Gerson did not look down on Sally because of her young age. In fact, for so many years around Sally, he is the one who can understand the ability of this child best. So just a two-sentence inquiry, he noticed an unusual hint.

"The location of Finks Village should be the most prominent village in the kingdom and the closest village to the Cohen Fortress of the Orc Kingdom, right? I only thought of these, and I have these questions."

Change to other girls of the same age, it is estimated that no one will know the specific location of Finks Village so much, let alone the name of the orc empire fortress. However, at this time, Sally's words were peaceful and natural, and she even took a few familiar acquaintances. During the conversation, her beautiful eyes looked back behind her, thoughtfully.

格 Old Gerson is a veteran. He would not be naive to think that war will always leave this country. His understanding of the orcs made him far younger than him and understood whether the concerns in Sally's words were justified. So he frowned, and whispered, "Miss Sally ... do I need to send someone to contact the person in the Fortress of Conceton?"

Sally nodded, her eyes narrowed and looked into the distance.

"Should send someone to contact, but I hope that the gate of the fortress will not refuse my asylum request."

Uh ...

When the night fell, the mist filled the sky, and the starry sky disappeared. It was replaced by dim water vapor. The sound of horseshoes broke the silence, and it suddenly sounded outside the village of Finks.

This may be the first time Roddy has shown some anxiety in front of these scouts.

It took only an hour to hurried from Nolan Village, 30 kilometers away, and his mood changed drastically on the way, because when he was outside the village, he learned from the mouths of the farmers around the village that Sally and News of Francis coming to the village.

Then ... all the questions and assumptions in Roddy's mind were almost perfectly matched at this time.

The tragedy in my memory should be the same as tomorrow.

He couldn't help remembering the date stated in the orc letter—if the plan remained the same and more than fifty orcs from a squadron rushed over, the village really had no ability to resist.

At this time, there are not many options in front of Roddy. Ask the fortress for help? Perhaps Carter still holds such hope, but Roddy knows that it is too late.

He is familiar with the rules of the noble lords of the Karen Kingdom-if you want to pull a team from the fortress, no matter how many people, you first need a personal letter and emblem of a baron or above to prove his identity and intention, and then he is allowed to follow After the fortress comes down, a round of conscription operations must be started, ranging from three days to a month ... The normal process is still the same. If a scout in a border village runs to the fortress and says "military emergency, immediate support is needed", it is also absolutely impossible No one will answer.

What if the orc comes suddenly?

This kind of issue is not considered at all-"the war has passed and now is the era of peace"-everyone thinks so.

So at this moment Roddy looked at the village of Finks in front of her, and her heart was complicated.

"In the end ... it's something like this ..."

A letter that was thought to have nothing to do with him finally made him busy again, and Roddy took a deep breath, took a sac and filled with saliva, then sprinkled on his face, and turned to the scouts next to him: "After entering the village, immediately wake up the villagers from house to house, tell them to pack up immediately, and tell them that they must evacuate here before midnight, otherwise all who wait for them and us will have a dead end, understand?"

"Yes!"

The soldiers on horsebacks were a little tired, but they didn't dare to be negligent.

Roddy then gave Ruger his faked letter and asked him and Carter to give it to the second lieutenant of the scouting unit in the village, and let the other party cooperate. This scouting team also belonged to the private of the Roussillon family. The military organization, so the letter written in the name of Lieutenant Soudin came in handy.

After the assignment of tasks was completed, the orderly division of the team immediately began to act, scouts rushed to the whole village and started knocking on the door from door to door, loudly notifying the orcs of the upcoming alarm-this kind of "cut and play" behavior was a must for Roddy To do that, he didn't have time to argue with those who had objections, because even if he was finally convicted, he could still be pushed to Lieutenant Sording.

Randy himself rode directly to the manor in Finks Village. With a two-handed machete on his waist, a metal armour on his arms, and a corner bow on his back, the image of Roddy is far more powerful than that of other scouts. If it is not the emblem on his chest, ordinary people must think that it is Luxi Private guards of the Fron family.

"An urgent letter from Anderson Butler, something big happened!"

Roddy pretended to be flustered, his voice tightly, and he poured water on his face just now, making him look sweaty now. He raised the letter he wrote in his hand, and ran as he ran towards the servant who came out of the manor house: "Let me in, things are very important. You ca n’t afford any of it if you delay it!"

This look is definitely not a joke. Several servants who did not dare to take the responsibility quickly led him into the stone mansion's main house. The mansion housekeeper named Hall frowned deeply, and his expression was not very pleasant.

Because just this morning, a scout in Nolan village came over and told him that the orcs were going to attack here ...

"Are you out of your mind?"

This is what the housekeeper said when he scolded the scout. UU reads www.uukanshu.com. He is very angry. After all, the scout formation is a private soldier of Lucifer Furong. In terms of duties and obligations, they are both Ke Lord Ke did not interfere with each other. What kind of frustration was going on at this time? What qualifications do you have to rush to Lord Kirk's estate?

So at this time when he saw the insignia on Rody's body, he was ready to perfunctory things and opened his mouth and said, "What do you have--"

But at this moment, another servant suddenly squeezed Roddy away and hurried into the room.

"Butler Hall, Miss Sally's team is here!"

This sentence made Roddy, who was about to speak, immediately lose the right to speak-because he saw the Hall steward immediately take his eyes away from him, turned around and walked out, completely ignored him.

Obviously, compared with the children of the Duke, Rody is not worthy of such an insignificant role. Right now, Roddy was hanging aside, and he couldn't say what he was asking them to help the villagers transfer ...

He was holding the Anderson letter in his hand and couldn't even show it.

Hey ... these dogs are looking at the low cubs.

Roddy understands that his status can't be accepted by the leader of the family. He secretly scolded him for a few words and was not angry. He turned around and urged Ruger and Carter to act quickly, and organized some in his mind Go and talk to the Miss Sally to explain-after all, time is tight, as long as you can inspire the villagers out of the house, the remaining things naturally have the momentum to promote completion.

But he never thought that when he turned around and ran out of the manor, he met someone who would never think of killing ...
