Instinctively, she felt a fatal danger. Looking at the wooden stick raised in Rody's hand, a desperate thought flashed through Ruth's mind.
The vampire roared, spreading his fingers and pounced. She had used all her strength, and all her strength had reached its peak, and her whole body was like a violent wind. Roddy stood there, squinting his eyes and looking at the vampire coming towards him. The "Moses Rod" in his hand shook slightly. The vampire jumped about one meter in front of him, and suddenly hit something!
The eyes of Nidis and Duck present were dazzled, as if they saw a faint and strange light flashing through the wooden stick in Rody's hand, and then heard a shrill scream.
Ruth's body had already flown out, and a cloud of blood mist exploded in the air. When she fell to the ground, half of her body was covered in blood, and the tree trunk next to her was also splattered with blood!
Ruth's body quickly shrunk and returned to its original human shape. The broken limbs on half of her body began to squirm crazily. The wounds healed quickly, but her moans became more and more shrill and filled with pain.
"Hmph, the vampire's body is indeed strong." Rody said slowly: "Your body can heal automatically, but now the faster you heal, the more serious the damage will be!"
Ruth no longer had the strength to speak, her mouth was tightly closed, but her eyes were still staring at Roddy, the look in her eyes was full of fear - she no longer even dared to be angry.
Rody walked up to her and pointed the wooden stick at Ruth on the ground. A dead white light came out from the tip of the wooden stick. Ruth seemed to be afraid of the white light and her body was trembling. Roddy slowly moved the wooden staff to the wings behind Ruth, and Ruth screamed. The muscles on her wings quickly withered and dried up, and then turned into a pile of powder.
Seeing with satisfaction that the vampire on the ground had lost its wings, Rody sneered: "You won't be able to fly like this."
Ruth's teeth were trembling. Looking at the cold face in front of her, she felt that the expression on that face was getting colder and colder. The wings behind her were destroyed by the opponent. Ruth's vision went dark and she lost consciousness.
In the Tulip Duke's Courtyard, Nicole and Miu Ge stared dumbly at the group of monsters placed in cages in the courtyard.
"Is this where you captured him?" Nicole felt a little uneasy: "Where is Roddy? Where has he gone?"
The monster in the cage seemed a little uneasy. The fox wolf bared its teeth and let out a hissing growl from time to time. Miu Ge seemed a little scared and huddled behind Nicole.
Dan Yuewu smiled: "Don't worry, Roddy went to find Dake. As for these two things, they are very honest!" She blew the whistle to her mouth.
Miu Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two monsters lying on the ground immediately. Nicole still had a worried look on her face: "Miss Danyuewu, these are monsters! You caught two monsters and came back, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."
Dan Yuewu raised her eyebrows: "What trouble will there be? These two guys are so obedient. If they dare to be dishonest, I will blow the whistle! Are you afraid of anything?"
Nicole shook her head, as if she wanted to say something, but after all, she was not familiar with Dan Yuewu, so she looked at Miao Ge. Miu Ge nodded. She said in a deep voice: "Danyuewu, things like Warcraft are too sensitive, I'm afraid the God's Church will give us trouble!"
Dan Yuewu curled her lips and wanted to refute, but suddenly she saw Miao Ge winking at her, and she suddenly woke up. The Miss Nicole in front of me is not someone else, so I can't offend her by speaking too harshly. Otherwise, "he" might be unhappy.
Thinking of this, Dan Yuewu put away all her temper and whispered honestly: "This was also captured by Rody. He must have his own ideas."
Miu Ge and Dan Yuewu exchanged glances, and Nicole saw them all. When she saw Dan Yuewu, her face turned crimson suddenly, and she looked a little shy. It seemed that she didn't dare to raise her head after seeing her. Nicole felt a little strange in her heart, sighed, and said: "Forget it, let's wait until he comes back."
The civilians of Xiqiu City had their eyes opened this day.
In the afternoon, countless people gathered on the street. You passed the news to me and I passed you the news, all spreading the news: Duke Tulip's personal troops had captured several vampires!
The security team quickly took to the streets to guard and evacuate the crowd of onlookers. Then Roddy led a group of soldiers, tied Ruth to a wooden stake in a carriage, and walked on the streets of Xiqiu with great fanfare.
The crowd of onlookers looked at Ruth who was tied to the stake and shouted. They really couldn't believe that such a charming and charming beauty was actually the legendary and terrifying vampire! Especially Ruth's voluptuous chest and pale face made the citizens of Xiqiu feel incredible - could such a delicate woman be a vampire
Rody looked calm while riding on the horse, paying no attention to the pointing civilians around him. Anyway, there were soldiers from the security team controlling the situation.
Naturally, he had his own idea of bringing Ruth out to parade in such a big way. After catching Ruth, he immediately rushed to the vampire's lair outside Xiqiu City, trying to kill the legendary Prince Jashika in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, when he got there, the dilapidated building was empty with nothing inside. Only the densely packed insect egg-like things hanging on the ceiling.
Roddy knew what it was, so he simply burned the entire nest on fire. The soaring flames attracted a large number of soldiers from the Xiqiu Public Security Station. Rody immediately revealed his identity as an officer of the Royal Guards. Surrounded by soldiers, he escorted Ruth back to Xiqiu City with great fanfare.
As for the next step, Rody already has his own ideas in mind!
Looking at the religious center in Xiqiu in front of him, Rody showed a smile. The bishop of Xiqiu Religious Center had already brought several warriors from the Flame Warriors to greet him.
The faces of these magic sticks in white robes were naturally full of smiles. They were notified that the Royal Guards had captured a vampire and, in accordance with the Empire's practice, officially handed over the vampire to their disposal.
After some hypocrisy with the people in these religious institutions, Rody left Ruth behind. As for whether these guys burned Ruth to death or sent her back to the imperial capital to ask for credit. That's not what Roddy cares about. Anyway, he had done something secretly, and Ruth couldn't say a word at all. Now it's just a matter of breathing. There is no need to worry about what she will say.
"Let the vampires make trouble with the sect's gang of magicians!" Rody sneered secretly in his heart: "No matter who of them dies or lives, I will be very happy."
The news of catching the vampire caused a stir in Xiqiu for several days before calming down. And Roddy has not been living at peace these past few days.
Ever since he came out of the lake, the relationship between him and Dan Yuewu seemed to be a little subtle. When we were at the bottom of the lake, our lives were hanging by a thread, and while we were excited, we naturally showed our true feelings, but now we have returned to reality...
Nicole's expression has been somewhat gloomy these days, and she seems to be looking at Roddy intentionally or unintentionally with a bit of resentment. Roddy really didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. He felt a little guilty for Nicole, but he couldn't remain indifferent to Dan Yue Wu.
Rody could only try to avoid the opportunity of meeting a few people. He tried to reduce the number of times he went to the Duke's Villa to meet with Nicole. Most of the time he stayed in the military camp. Duck didn't show up again after he left with Needy that day. Roddy went to Nidis's tavern to look for her. Duck was recovering from his injuries, but Nidis simply disappeared.
Dan Yuewu seemed to run to the Duke's Courtyard every day, and Rody was even too frightened to see the three women. Thinking of the way Dan Yuewu and Nicole looked at him when they went back that day, they were in dire straits! Young Roddy might not frown when facing the most ferocious fighting, but when faced with such tenderness and resentment, he was helpless.
In this world, women are more troublesome than swords, magic, or vampires!
A few days later, someone came from the imperial capital.
General Gordon of the Royal Guards came to Xiqiu in person and brought orders from His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty, the great Emperor Abbas XI of the Empire, has an order: Rody, a palace warrior, imperial viscount, and officer of the Royal Guards, has been promoted to the commander of the Royal Guards for his meritorious service in capturing vampires! He also ordered Commander Luo Di to return to the imperial capital today as he had other important tasks.
The responsibility of protecting the Duke of Tulip falls to three thousand Royal Guards led by General Gordon.
Gordon announced the emperor's order and looked at Rody standing in front of him with a complicated expression. Gordon always had some doubts about this young man. This guy named Roddy seemed to have suddenly fallen from the sky. After a war, he suddenly rose like a new star, which can be said to be "smoothly rising to the top". Suddenly he was appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was promoted from a captain of the Duke's personal soldiers to an Imperial Viscount, a palace warrior, and now he is the commander of the Royal Guards!
The commander of the Royal Guards is an officer who commands ten thousand people! There are currently five commanders in the 50,000 Royal Guards. Except for Rody, which of the other four commanders was not born into a noble family with a royal background
Maybe... the rumor in the Imperial Capital is true... This Rody really belongs to His Majesty the Emperor...
Thinking of this, Gordon immediately forced himself to stop such speculation. Gordon, who has been hanging out in the power circles of the imperial capital for many years, knows very well that this kind of thing is not something he can think about, let alone something he should take care of! This kind of secret involves the core of power. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be!
Nicole and others felt a little uncomfortable when they found out that Rody was going back to the Imperial Capital. Although Rody was a little unhappy, under the current circumstances, it might be the best choice to leave for a while.
It's better than staying in Xiqiu and seeing the various looks of three women sandwiching him in the middle every day.
At the Duke's Villa, he and General Gordon handed over the army in public, and Rody set off back to the imperial capital that day. Nicole finally couldn't bear it anymore and hugged Roddy forcefully in front of everyone, shedding tears.
Gordon was dumbfounded - he came from the imperial capital. In Xiqiu City, everyone knew about Roddy's relationship with the eldest lady of the Tulip family, but Gordon didn't know about it.
The officers of the Thunder God's Whip and the Royal Guards looked at the separated lovers with kind smiles on their faces. Roddy sighed, knowing in his heart that hiding from Nicole these days was a bit too much anyway, so he couldn't help but hug her hard. Then he kissed her on the forehead and wanted to say something, but didn't know. After thinking for a long time, he simply said three words: "Wait for me."
With a group of his own cavalry, Rody left Xiqiu and headed back to the imperial capital.
When walking out of the Duke's Villa, Rody looked back at the tallest building in the palace. Although Miao Ge could not show up during this public farewell due to the public relationship between Roddy and Nicole, Roddy believed that Miao Ge must be hiding on that tall building and watching him at this moment.
He waved deeply. Rody gritted his teeth and raised his riding crop fiercely. Take people away from the road.
A group of people rode on light horses, naturally much faster than when they came to Xiqiu. Andy suddenly asked himself to return to the imperial capital. Although he didn't know why, but from the "return today" in his order, it seemed that there must be something urgent.
Rody was used to this kind of rush march when he was in Thunder God's Whip. The cavalry around him were also well-trained, and they arrived at the Imperial Capital in just three to five days.
With doubts in his heart, Rody entered the palace directly.
The strange thing is that Andy didn't see him alone. Rody was led by the palace chamberlain to a side hall where the emperor usually held meetings, and unexpectedly saw the Minister of Military Affairs, Marquis Caroline, standing there.
Seeing Rody walk in, Marquis Caroline immediately smiled at him and nodded lightly. No matter what, Marquis Caroline has placed his treasure on Roddy, and Baron Gadar's description of himself when he came back one day made Marquis Caroline even more convinced that Roddy is definitely a guy with a future!
Although he was a little surprised to see Marquis Caroline, Roddy didn't show it on his face and just gave the old Marquis a simple courtesy.
Before His Majesty the Emperor came out, Marquis Caroline laughed in a low voice: "Your Excellency Rody, how beautiful is the scenery in Xiqiu?"
Rody immediately replied: "Everything is fine, thank you, Lord Marquis, for your concern!" After thinking for a moment, Rody added: "Thank you also, Lord Marquis, for your concern."
No matter what, if someone gives you a sword as a gift, you should always thank him.
The old Marquis had a friendly smile on his face and whispered: "Your Excellency Rody, I have also heard about you and Miss Nicole. If there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to tell me. Well..." He pondered for a moment, He smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has an important task to entrust to you this time. After it is completed, I can come forward to propose marriage to Duke Tulip!"
Rody smiled inwardly, these words were a formal win over. The so-called "entrusted with a heavy responsibility" must imply that this is a great achievement, and it was his suggestion for me to do it. Don't forget his promotion after it is accomplished. The proposal of marriage is also a kind of emotional investment: after all, his nominal status is not high yet. If he wants to marry the eldest lady of the Tulip family, a small viscount may not be enough. However, it would be different if the military minister, a giant of the empire, proposed marriage.
Rody smiled and was thinking about what to say to deal with it. Andy had already walked in with a fat Royal Guards officer.
Andy is now pretending to be more and more like an emperor. His face is full of majesty and indifference, and he really looks like an emperor. But Rody saw at a glance that Tian Lie next to him blinked secretly at him, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Two old guys, what tricks are they playing!" Rody couldn't help but feel a little numb.
Andy coughed slightly and said with a straight face: "Viscount Roddy, I heard that you caught a vampire in Xiqiu, that's good!" The old skeleton put on the emperor's airs, and then looked at Caroline The Marquis said: "Marquis Caroline, has the award given to Viscount Rody by the military been completed?"
Caroline was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it already a reward? Being promoted from an officer to a commander is already a leap of several levels.
Although he didn't know what the emperor meant, now that His Majesty had spoken, Marquis Caroline had to carefully figure out the emperor's thoughts. After pondering for a while, the old fox tentatively said: "Viscount Rody has already assumed the position of commander. There has been no other action in terms of military awards. What His Majesty means is..."
Andy pretended to sigh, glanced at Marquis Caroline, and said: "Since it has been decided for Roddy to do that matter, his current status seems a little inappropriate... After all, to represent the empire, there must be someone It’s only if the status is commensurate.”
Marquis Caroline's eyes lit up, and he immediately said loudly: "Yes! Your Majesty, in view of Viscount Rody's meritorious service in guarding Duke Tulip in Xiqiu, and his great contribution in capturing the vampires, I suggest that Your Majesty give Viscount Roddy an additional reward!"
Andy blinked and said with a smile: "Oh? So what do you mean, Marquis Caroline?"
The old Marquis couldn't help cursing secretly: "You want to promote your illegitimate son, but you ask me to find a way for you." Of course, he didn't dare to show it on his face. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: " Viscount Rody's military rank has reached that of commander. Considering his age, this military rank is not low. Your Majesty... I wonder if Viscount Rody should be given some other rewards, such as a title... "
Andy couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Old fox, he is indeed an old fox. He is so versatile that he can understand everything at once. The four words "guessing for the best idea" have been perfected. You are such a well-behaved guy. I originally wanted to burn down the bridge and find a way to kill you as soon as the matter comes up, but now I feel a little reluctant to let you go.
After pretending to think for a moment, Andy slowly said: "In this case, Roddy will be given the title of chief warrior of the palace. Is it a title? Let's upgrade him to a higher level!"
Rody was a little confused - why was he suddenly promoted? If the viscount is promoted to one level, he will become an earl!
count?
Although a little confused, there must be a reason why Andy did this.
Then Andy said as expected: "Rody, I promoted your title for a reason. There is a big thing for you to do now. You want to represent the dignity of the empire, and your original title of viscount is not enough. That's why I made an exception and promoted you to earl..."
Roddy said nothing, quietly waiting for the old skeleton to speak.
Although Rody had already guessed that this guy must have something special he wanted to do, the old skeleton's next words still made him almost jump.
Andy squinted his eyes, looked at Rody with a smile, and said slowly: "Count Roddy, please go to Roland Continent."
