Everyone stayed in this town for two days. The guards under his command began to suggest that they might as well ask the local guards to escort him. If there were hundreds of troops escorting him, no matter how courageous the assassin was, he would never dare to come and stroke the tiger's beard.
But before this proposal was made public, it was rejected privately by several guards. They all had one thought in their minds: The dignified bodyguards of Duke Tulip could not protect the Duke even when faced with a single-handed assassin. They had to find a local garrison to protect them. If they let it out, don't let others laugh at them. Just draw your sword and wipe your neck first!
Rody stayed in the room for a long time that day, and when he came out, the gloom on his face was gone. They just ordered everyone to stay in the town for two days, and no one was left to keep vigil outside during their stay.
Duck was actually lurking around Roddy and his group. Hiding in an abandoned attic not far from where they were staying. For the past two days, he had been secretly observing the movements of Roddy and his group in the attic. Seeing that the other party was extremely defensive, no one was left to keep vigil every night, and they rarely went out to do activities during the day. They are all hidden in the room, and all the necessary daily necessities are delivered by people. For two days in a row, Dak couldn't find any opportunity to make a move.
It's just that Dake is very patient. He usually hunts a wolf in the grassland for seven or eight days, even sleeping in the open air without feeling tired. Facing his enemy this time, he was even more energetic and patient enough to wait for the opportunity. He would not be impatient even if he waited for twenty days, not to mention two days. Anyway, you, the Tulip Duke, can't hide in this place for the rest of your life, right
At noon on the third day, something strange happened to Dak!
Seeing the gate of Tulip Duke's residence open, Duck thought that the other party was about to set off, but two horses ran out, but they were the other party's guards. The two men galloped out on horseback, and the two guards whipped their horses and whipped their horses, heading far to the south of the town. After waiting for a while, he saw two horses running out of the door, and two guards rode away towards the east of the town.
After waiting for a while, two guards were seen running out of the yard on horseback, heading north.
Duck was shocked and confused. After all, he was alone. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to stay silent. After all, there is nothing wrong with following Duke Tulip, right
But in the afternoon, none of the guards who ran out during the day came back, which made the doubts in Dak's heart thicker.
While Duck was restless, a carriage finally came out. He saw the remaining guards on horseback guarding the carriage in front, back and left, embracing the carriage and heading south.
Duck gritted his teeth, waited for the carriage to go away, then came out of the attic, hiding his traces and followed it from a distance.
Along the way, Dak clearly felt that the other party was moving very fast this time. Dak sneered in his heart: What's wrong? Are you scared and want to run
With a bit of a sneer, Dak followed from a distance. I saw the carriage running faster and faster in the distance, and finally turned into a side road.
Want to take a back road and get rid of me? Dak sneered in his heart: I can catch even the most cunning wolf, let alone so many people!
Without thinking in his mind, he followed immediately.
Seeing several horses and a carriage running quickly into a small forest in the distance, Dak followed behind. He felt a little alert in his heart. He looked at it from a distance for a while, finally gritted his teeth and quickly followed.
After running for a few steps, I found that the carriage in the distance was parked in the middle of the woods, and the guards had disappeared.
Dak frowned, and with great vigilance in his heart, he hid behind a tree and observed carefully for a long time. Suddenly I realized: the other party abandoned the carriage and ran away quickly on horseback!
With this thought in his mind, he still cautiously jumped onto the tree, then touched from tree to tree, and slowly approached the carriage. When I got closer, I saw the carriage door wide open, and it turned out that there was no one inside!
Duck was startled and angrily whispered: "What a Tulip Duke! He actually ran away!" He jumped down from the tree. After carefully looking at the horse hoof marks on the ground, I felt strange at first glance - it turned out from the horse hoof marks that these people had scattered and ran away in all directions!
Dak was so filled with hatred that he couldn't help but draw out his machete and slashed at the carriage, his face turned pale with anger.
Just when he was angry, a voice suddenly came from far away: "Mr. Duck! Are you looking for me?"
Duck suddenly turned around and saw a man standing by a tree far away in the woods with a cold expression. It was the Tulip Duke who he wanted to kill and then quickly!
Duck's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked around, but his heart felt cold!
I saw people standing far away in all directions. These people worked in groups of two, blocking all directions. Holding a long sword in his hand, he slowly pushed towards him.
Dak's face changed greatly. He immediately took off the long bow on his back, took out a wolf fang arrow from the quiver, and shot it at Rody. From a distance, he could only hear Rody's cold smile, and then he just turned to the side. As soon as he ducked behind the tree trunk, the arrow missed. Dak was shocked and realized that this was a trap! The other party lured him into this forest just to prevent his most powerful bow and arrow from being used! In dense woods, the power of archery is greatly reduced!
Seeing the guards around him slowly approaching under the cover of trees, the surrounding circle became smaller and smaller. Dak took a deep breath, threw away the long bow, held the scimitar tightly, and said loudly: "Come on!"
Many guards gradually walked in, and the encirclement had firmly trapped Dak in the middle. However, they all stopped and stared at Dak with gritted teeth. They only waited for the Duke's order to rush forward and kill this man. The guy was chopped into a pulp.
Rody sighed, separated from everyone and walked to the front. He looked at Duck with a trace of helplessness on his face and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Duck! We haven't seen you for a long time!"
Dak snorted coldly, slashed with the scimitar in his hand, and said loudly: "What nonsense! If you want my life, just come up!"
Rody frowned and said calmly: "Mr. Dark has been trying to kill me all this time, but I have never taken the initiative to provoke Mu!"
Dak let out a loud "poof", stared at Roddy and said fiercely: "I said I will kill you! It's just that I was trapped by you today, so I fell into your trick! Why do you say so much!"
Rody pondered for a while, looked at Duck's face, and frowned: "Mr. Duck, that day under Watt Fortress, you said that when you were old... my father killed your brother. What on earth is going on? I've asked the old people in the army, but they don't seem to know you. Can you tell me what's going on?"
Dak's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you ask this?"
Rody smiled faintly: "No matter what, you saved my life. If it weren't for you, I would have died on the northwest grassland."
"Okay!" Dak said harshly: "It's no big deal to tell you! My brother was a cavalry captain under your father back then! But my military position in the army was not high at that time, so naturally I wouldn't Does anyone know! Your father commanded a large army and killed countless people, so naturally not many would care about the name of the younger brother of a small cavalry captain! "
"Oh?" Rody nodded, and then asked: "Then why did your brother die?"
Dak's eyes turned red, and then he glared at Rody and said fiercely: "During a battle, because the cavalry led by my brother delayed the arrival time specified by the Duke, other military camps suffered heavy losses... The Duke was furious and took my cavalry. My brother enforced the military law! It was delayed! But he refused to listen to my brother's excuse! There were small groups of enemies along the way, and my brother fought hard for two hundred miles to get there! ...But your father still said that he violated the military order and sentenced him to death! Poor my brother, when he died, he was still covered in the blood of fighting with the enemy! He served the country and fought to the death. Is this the case? What’s the end?”
Speaking of this, Dak's voice choked up, and his sharp eyes stared hard at Rody's face. Next to him, Lant was alert, and immediately stood slowly beside Rody, holding the big sword tightly in his hand, looking at Dak vigilantly, in case he suddenly made an attack.
Rody felt sad and didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew nothing about what happened back then, but he had been in the army these days, and vaguely learned from Sieg and others that the old Duke Tulip led the troops very strictly and had strict military laws. When talking about this, Sieg and others There was also a faint uneasy look on the person's face. Now listening to what Dak said, I'm afraid it's probably true.
Roddy has experienced so much blood and flesh, and has already deeply understood the truth of "military orders are like mountains" and "kindness cannot control soldiers". Although he felt that the old Duke Tulip was too cruel, he was responsible for delaying the fighter plane, but there was no room for maneuver at all.
After pondering for a while, Rody slowly said: "Mr. Duck... you... you go!"
"What?" Before Dak spoke, Lant had already exclaimed.
Dak's expression changed greatly, and he looked at Rody with a gloomy expression: "Duke Tulip! What trick do you want! Or do you want to use some method to punish me?"
Roddy shook his head, waved his hand to signal Lant not to speak, looked at Dak and said calmly: "Mr. Dak! You saved my companion and I that day. Speaking of which, I owe you two lives! That time in Lord Watt, if you can't kill me, if I let you go once, I've already given you life! I'll let you go again today, and we won't owe each other anything from now on!"
Dak's face was uncertain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You really let me go?"
Rody nodded and smiled casually: "Although you hate me to the core, I don't hate you. Although you attacked me sneakily and injured several of my guards in the past few days, you did not hurt their lives after all, which shows that you are not A person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. If you kill one person, I will not let you go today!"
Dak shook his head in disbelief, still looking fierce, and said in a deep voice: "Duke Tulip!! Don't say such things! I tell you, even if you let me go, I will never let you go! If I find an opportunity in the future, I will still come to kill you!"
Rody nodded, suddenly smiled, and said: "Mr. Duck, I will let you go today, but you must promise me one thing!"
Before Dak could refuse, Roddy said first: "You are not allowed to come to me for trouble within three years! After three years, if I don't die, you can come to me and I will give you a fair chance to fight!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Dak sneered and was about to refuse.
Rody immediately said again: "Duck! I am not overestimating my abilities, you are also a subject of the empire! You should know the influence of my current status in the empire! At this time, Luo Yantar in the northwest grassland is watching with eager eyes. Keep an eye on the territory of the empire! The mountainous tribes in the south are also fighting! A big chaos is coming at any time! If I die... Tulip is here, the empire is in trouble! The flag will not fall! The powerful enemies from all directions will not dare to cause chaos! Once the Tulip War Flag falls, it will be a heavy blow to the empire! Thousands of civilians will be plunged into war, and countless families will be destroyed! Can you just bear to watch with cold eyes?"
When he said the last few words, Rody's face gradually became stern.
Dak's body shook violently, and then a confused look appeared in his eyes. Rody's voice hit his heart like a heavy hammer, and his heart was extremely complicated. Thinking of the consequences of Rody's words, cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, and his face became extremely pale.
Rody said coldly: "Mr. Duck, you are also a warrior! You are also passionate! Can you just bear to see those things happen?"
Raising his head suddenly, Dak met Roddy's gaze and loudly shouted: "Tulip Duke! So what do you mean by three years? Can you solve all these problems in just two years?"
Rody sighed on the surface and said slowly: "I don't know... but do your best!" But in his heart, he secretly said: What three years? I am afraid that these problems will not be solved even in ten years! It’s just that after three years, I will no longer work as the Tulip Duke, and I will be gone without a trace by then. You can go find the real Tulip Duke to take revenge!
A look of determination flashed in Dak's eyes. He threw the scimitar in his hand to the ground and said loudly: "Okay! I promise you!" After saying that, he looked at Rody again and said coldly: "You just Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise? Or that I will come to assassinate you after I leave?"
Rody laughed loudly and said: "I see people with my own eyes! If I misjudge your character, you deserve to be killed!" But he thought to himself: Are you coming again? I have already repaid you for saving your life. If I arrest you, you will not be polite. Hum, if I kill one or two people, will I still be cruel
Dak nodded, turned around and walked to the left without even looking at Rody. At Rody's glance, several guards moved out of the way and allowed Dak to leave.
Duck walked about a hundred steps away, suddenly stopped, turned around and said loudly: "Duke Tulip! Three years may not be enough for those things! I'll give you ten years! I, Duck, have a clear grudge! I am not that kind of untrustworthy villain!"
After saying that, he strode away.
Rody smiled bitterly after hearing this and thought: Ten years? That's good. Ten years later, go find the real Seth for revenge! You obviously hate Tulip Duke, but you let me take the blame...
Someone far away in the imperial capital felt a chill in his back while sleeping, then turned over and fell asleep again.
