"I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have time to answer them now." Rody didn't bother to pretend to be a scout at this time, and said without much respect in his tone: "Once that traitor Francis makes a decision, the consequences will definitely not be just A group of orcs attack is so simple, now. Either wait here to die, or listen to my words and leave here, which one do you choose?"
He looked up at the horizon, tried his best to capture the possible changes in the wind, reached out to hold Sally's palm, and added: "If you go, squeeze my hand and make a decision quickly."
This series of words stunned Sally, and she realized that Rody seemed to think that she couldn't speak, but in fact her silence was completely caused by being shocked by Rody's strength...
Sally, who was always calm in the past and had the chance to win, was in a very complicated mood at this time. After a few seconds of stunned, she gradually calmed down and realized that she had no room for restraint now—although she blushed a little, she still bit her tongue. lips, and pinched Roddy's fingers.
"Um... Is there any discomfort inside your body?"
Rody pointed at Sally's chest and abdomen. Internal injuries to these two organs could easily cause death. He had to confirm that the other party had no internal injuries before he dared to move her, otherwise it would be a waste of help to "help" the other party to death. Not impossible.
Sally didn't quite understand what he meant because of the pain in her shoulder. After all, a noble lady who had never been exposed to the concept of "medicine" would not understand how fragile a person's internal organs are. She was stunned for a few seconds. Feeling that his shoulders and the back that hit the ground seemed to be a little painful, and other places were normal, so he shook his head.
However, she soon regretted her action - Roddy picked her up from the ground without saying a word. Two strong arms supported Sally, who weighed only about eighty kilograms, without pressure. Rody didn't look at her expression at all, and moved her from the broken leg of the war horse and a pile of orc corpses to a On a low hillside, he put it down lightly and ran back to the battlefield. He swiftly picked up his horn bow and scimitar, and roughly searched for the spoils left by the wolf cavalry.
Sally, who was sitting more than ten meters away, originally had a lot of questions to ask, but at this moment, she could only shut her mouth and watch him busy back and forth. Although she is not very old, she has a very active mind, otherwise she would not risk her life to collide with that wolf cavalryman - because Sally knows very well that if the scout captain who came to help dies, no matter how far she ran , also cannot escape the pursuit of the orcs.
Most of Rody's battle process fell into her eyes. Although the light was dim, Sally was still aware of an indelible fact: the originally invisible scout captain in front of her had indeed killed a whole wolf. Cavalry.
Sally is very proud in her heart. As the heir of a great nobleman in the Northwest Territory, her "pride" is almost instinctive—whether it is her temperament or her mind, she has done the best in the process of growing up. It's just that this unexpected incident... or the "crisis" that Sally thought she could get through safely, gave her the biggest blow in her life.
No matter what the result was, Sally admitted that she had failed, and the original result of this failure was death, although she had only a vague concept in the past. But today, the sacrifices of Old Gesun and those soldiers have made her understand: In this cruel world, no one will guard their own territory in peace, and no one will show kindness when they plunder...
When Rody came over with a roll of linen bandages in his hand, Sally seemed to have figured something out. She opened her tightly pressed lips slightly, looked at Roddy whose blood had solidified on his face, and said, "Please give me a piece of you." The reason for this, Captain Roddy."
Roddy raised his head noncommittally, and tore off the bandage in his hand: "Huh?"
"What kind of reason made you follow my team and save me at this time?"
Facing his problem, Rody bit open the stopper of the water bag, drank his saliva, squatted down in front of Sally, and passed the water bag in his hand-"I won't talk nonsense, the reason is actually Simple...I'm smarter than you."
Sally, who was hesitating whether to take the water bag, froze slightly, and stared at Rody with complicated eyes for five seconds, finally raised her hand to take the water bag, raised her neck and gulped several mouthfuls. This posture does not look like a noble girl at all, but it is no different from these soldiers in the barracks.
After drinking the water, Sally threw the water bag to Roddy. She suppressed all kinds of emotions, but she was a little discouraged.
Rody put the water bag on his waist and asked, "Can I walk?"
Sally pouted slightly, stubbornly refusing to talk to him, gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but found that her left leg was so painful that she couldn't hold it, so she sat back down again. Luo Di frowned, reached out and lifted her skirt without thinking, looked at the red and swollen scratches on her knees, and muttered, "What a trouble..."
Sally next to her was almost stunned, and her blush spread to her neck. She opened her mouth and wanted to scold the rogue bastard, but found that she didn't know what to scold—because it was the first time she saw someone who could not change his face and look serious. The guy who lifted up other people's skirts suddenly had a short-circuited head...
The bastard! What do you think of yourself as? ! Is he just a sculpture in his eyes? !
This idea is actually very close to the facts. Rody looks calm and calm now, but in fact his mind is very chaotic. While considering the probability of the enemy's possible appearance, he also has to calculate which direction he will go if he evacuates. What to face, etc... For the girl in front of him, he subconsciously still regards it as "NC". The task" is always like this, you have to put in effort to protect her with an NC who is easy to die...
There are so many messy things to worry about, how can Rody care about lifting his skirt when he checks the other's wound
After making a plan, Rody raised his hand and threw the hornbow to Sally. The latter gritted his teeth and looked up at him, a little confused. But then I saw Rody turn his back and squat in front of him...
"Hurry up, there's no time."
The horse was wounded, wounded, and dead. Roddy couldn't think of any other way to get out of here quickly. He turned his back and didn't consider Sally's mood at all—in other words, technical geeks are really born to treat women. slow.
Anyway, "destined to be alone forever" has been heard a lot, and Rody also admits that he is not a romantic material, and now the only thing he thinks about is to get out of here and escape his life.
At this moment, Sally was probably roaring and galloping over ten thousand alpacas, but she also had no choice but to find that she had no other choice. The words that had been brewing in his mouth for a long time were finally swallowed, his lips were tightened, and he slowly climbed up Roddy's broad back, wrapping his hands around his neck, his body was as stiff as wood.
What she asked in her breath was full of mixed smells of blood and sweat. Sally frowned. Although she was not used to it, she didn't feel too much rejection in her heart when she thought of the battle just now.
Because of the upgrade, Rody is still full of physical strength so far. He looked at the northwest grassland where the orcs might appear behind him, and then looked at the direction of Hollier City in the southeast where Sally was planning to go, and started to walk towards the city. Northwest began to march.
Of course, Sally had studied the map of the territory. She looked at the dim sky, and finally couldn't bear her curiosity after a long time, and asked, "Where... are you going?"
Although Rody couldn't run, he took big steps, and his walking speed was not much slower than ordinary people's trotting. He was full of thoughts about how the orcs would surround him here, and he replied without thinking: "I want your life now!" It is Francis, the orc is just a tool to be used. If you run to Houllier now, the old dog will definitely be intercepted by troops, and you must bypass these places if you want to escape. Francis is very thoughtful, from his nose It is very difficult to escape under the roof, I can only try as much as I can."
"You...you know my brother very well?"
Sally frowned. She was not stupid. A young man who might have never been to Holy City called her brother an "old dog" and showed an appearance of familiarity with his character. normal.
Rody took a deep breath. He wanted to continue to say something, but finally swallowed the words that came to his lips. He walked faster and said, "I haven't seen your brother."
He didn't want to say anything more about this issue, and turned to talk about the next plan: "Francis is waiting for the news at this time, and he must be worried when he knows that you have run away. If you want to avoid him, the first step is to go around I can't outrun those cavalrymen on the plains unless I follow the outskirts of Vik into the Woodland of Whispering Whispers."
Sally hugged Rody's arm tightly silently. Her dislocated shoulder didn't hurt much anymore. Although she was still a little ashamed and angry with Rody in her heart, after hearing these words, she felt that the other party didn't seem to be at fault at all. She thought for a while and asked, "Vic Village? Francis...he's right there."
"I know, I can tell by the route you came from."
"Then why do you..."
Sally's voice of questioning became low, and she obviously wanted to understand the reason. After a while, she asked again: "Then what? The Whispering Grove is not a peaceful place. My father told me that there are many powerful beasts there."
"I will eventually send you back to Houlier City, but the road will be a bit tortuous, but this is the only way to go back alive." Rody ignored Sally's words about how dangerous the beast in the whispering woodland was, but thought about himself I imagined the future situation of the empire in my heart and said: "If...I mean if...you wonder why I would risk my life at any time to help you do this, now—before I might die with you, I can Tell you why."
Sally couldn't see Rody's expression, and she just felt that the young man's tone suddenly became a little dignified as she was lying on Rody's back.
"Why?"
She is really curious.
When the question was asked, she could feel Rody's footsteps sluggish, and his figure stopped...
"Heh... Believe it or not, I did this just so that this country... will not be destroyed by a group of beasts in the future."
