"What is this?" One night a few days later. During the day, Rody was invited into the palace by the king. After discussing for a whole day, Rody came back at night and locked himself in a study room in the palace. Then he found Seth. In front of Seth, he opened something like a map.
"This seems to be a map." Seth squinted his eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and smiled: "It seems to be a military map."
"This is the military stronghold and army distribution map of the Dwarf Baqi Kingdom!" Rody looked serious: "The king gave it to me today. I will bring it back and study it."
Seth's fingers seemed to be tapping the table lightly, and the expression on his face showed no signs of his inner emotions. He seemed to say casually: "Have you decided to help the king?"
Rody did not answer, but simply said: "This morning, the last fleet has set off for the Empire of Light. According to the king's intelligence, the dwarf navy fleet is already busy patrolling and monitoring the left side of their island country! If they don't leave, Unexpectedly, within two days Sauron's army will embark on the ship and prepare for war. "
Seth seemed to be silent for a while, and the air in the room seemed a little depressed. The expression on Seth's face suddenly became a little strange: "Rody, I always feel a little weird about this matter... This King Sauron is so eager to deal with the dwarves." Is there any other purpose for the clan to take action?”
"He is said to have bet the entire Royal Knights this time, as well as an army that was secretly trained..." Roddy suddenly remembered everything he saw in the underground palace that day. He did not tell anyone about those things. .
Seth suddenly smiled: "Okay, you call me over. What do you want to say?"
Rody closed his eyes and murmured: "I don't know... I have an ominous premonition in my heart. It seems that something is about to happen to me on that dwarf island country... This feeling is very strong."
Seth squinted at Roddy, then stretched out his hand to push the map in front of him, and said calmly: "I'm not good at fighting. If you want to listen to my opinion, then I'll tell you..." He stared at Rody's eyes serious: "I feel the same as you! I think there is something going on here!"
Seth didn't wait for Roddy to speak and muttered to himself: "The king is so eager to conquer the dwarves. What does he want to get from there? Is it money? Is it iron wood? Or as the king himself said, he got the island country. You can suppress other Roland kingdoms and make them obey orders... But I think these reasons are not enough!" He seemed to be smiling: "I think these alone are not enough to make the king go crazy and risk such a big risk. Crazy plan!"
Having said this, Seth showed a bitter smile on his face and said: "Unfortunately, I am as unfamiliar with the dwarves as you are... I have never seen the dwarves, and I don't know what kind of race they are. I don’t want to say anything more about things I have grasped.”
Rody suddenly felt agitated and said with a wry smile: "Then just wait for time to decide everything!"
Seth also smiled and said: "What are you worried about? With your strength, I don't think there is anyone on this continent who can threaten your safety."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Miaosi walked in. She looked at the two people in the room with no expression, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said calmly: "Fielding is gone! I just found out that he is no longer in the room."
"Oh." Rody nodded. He glanced at Seth, and the two of them were not surprised. After telling Fielding the plan, the paladin has been somewhat silent for the past two days, as if he has been thinking about it. It seemed that he had finally made up his mind and returned to the temple to implement the plan.
Miao Si suddenly said something strange: "He left a note for you."
"What?"
"He said, thank you." Miaosi seemed a little sad: "He decided to find his own 'standard'."
…
I don’t know how Sauron’s vigorous intelligence channels were established. News from the sea came back one after another, and the last fleet consisted of two hundred and fifty warships. After setting off, they passed the only sea route of the dwarf kingdom. This situation made the dwarves seem a little nervous. According to the news coming back, the dwarf navy has been following the fleet and monitoring it - it seems that these dwarf guys are still very vigilant.
In view of this situation, the king and Rody discussed it for a day and decided that the army would set off early!
Three days later, in the same harbor, one hundred and fifty warships were fully armed and ready. Roddy and the king came to the dock with a large number of entourages.
"Didn't you say that our sneak attack navy has 250 ships? Why are there only so few now?" Rody frowned.
The king breathed a sigh of relief: "There is no way, the changes are too fast. The dwarf navy actually followed us closely on the oil tanker and moved further and further away... It would be stupid not to take advantage of such a good opportunity. So I decided to launch an attack in advance. . But time is too short, and there is only so much power that can be gathered." At this point, the king smiled bitterly: "Although the Kingdom of Sauron is the most powerful country in Roland, our warships did not fall from the sky.
…
A huge warship with golden walls was docked next to the dock. The warship was more than ten meters high. The huge hull was made entirely of iron wood, and the sunlight reflected dark light. Next to them, groups of silent soldiers were lining up nervously and orderly to board the ship. On the pier in the distance, there were also chariots, and war horses were pulled into the cabin.
The entire pier was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. In fact, starting three days ago, the surrounding area within a radius of fifty miles has been under complete martial law. A large number of royal knights loyal to Sauron's royal family guarded the roads leading to the dock, and no one could enter or leave without orders.
"According to our plan, you will command the army this time. I am just pretending." The king smiled and said: "Rody, I believe you will not let me down. You already know the roster and numbers of the army. Right? I will summon the mid-level officers to issue orders before the war begins! Now, let’s get on board.”
Rody took a breath, feeling extremely calm. He had already experienced too many wars and was very accustomed to this kind of pre-war atmosphere.
The only ones I'm worried about are probably Miaosi and the others who are staying in the royal palace. Originally, Miaosi was determined to follow Roddy, but Roddy considered Seth's identity - after all, he is now "Miss Nicole", and the current situation in Roland Continent is so complicated, so he has to be on guard against the people in the temple. The eldest daughter of the Tulip family of the Bright Empire took action. It is even more important to be on guard against any other tricks the king has. So the super powerful Miaosi and Old Mark were left to protect Seth.
Even if something goes wrong, with the combination of the powerful old Mark and the extremely magical Black Veil Saint, no one in the entire Roland Continent may be able to compete. Don't be afraid even if you meet a paladin.
The mighty fleet sailed out of the harbor pier and embarked on the journey quietly!
This was not the first time Rody went to sea. He stood on the bow deck of the largest flagship, trying to keep himself calm and feeling the sea breeze blowing on his face.
This warship is the flagship of this fleet, and Rody and the king are both on this warship. After getting on the ship, what made Roddy amused was that the king immediately ran into the cabin to rest and refused to come out again.
After asking in detail, Roddy got an answer that made him laugh:
This supreme leader with the powerful Roland Navy is actually seasick? !
After standing on the deck for a while, Rody looked around. The Roland Navy was indeed worthy of being an elite division at sea. The entire fleet maintained a combat and defense formation and moved quickly according to the pre-planned route. Looking at the densely packed warships in the distance, Rody suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart.
I wonder what I, who has created the myth of invincibility on land, will encounter on the sea this time
I went to visit the king. The king's face seemed a little bad, but his face still looked a little pale in the dim cabin. Even his voice sounded a little different and seemed a little weak.
After listening to the simple report from the officer below, the king weakly waved his hand and motioned for others to get down. Then he smiled bitterly at Rody and said: "You see, it seems that I am not born for the ocean."
Rody left speechlessly.
Under the guidance of his officers, Roddy came to the rest room where he served.
The room allotted to him was large and seemed to be furnished to the same specifications as the king's rooms. Rody closed the cabin door and decided to give himself a good rest. After all, there were still several days to travel to Haiyi.
This cabin is a full thirty square meters of space, and there is a small room separated inside that seems to be used for sleeping. Rody took off his coat, took off the Dragon Curse Scimitar from his waist and held it in his hand. He strode towards the door of the small room and reached out to push the door open.
The moment the door opened, Roddy almost instinctively felt a sense of uneasiness, as if someone was secretly spying on him.
A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he rushed into the room like lightning, sticking to the wall. He immediately felt a sharp cold wind blowing against his ears. Rody sneered and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull.
With a soft groan, a hint of pain, a figure appeared in the room out of thin air. One of her wrists was tightly grasped by Rody. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Rody's movements were as fast as lightning. The scimitar was instantly unsheathed and placed on the opponent's neck. He shouted coldly: "What!"
A pair of eyes with a bit of resentment and pain shot over him. Roddy saw the person on the ground in front of him clearly and couldn't help but blurted out in surprise: "Is it you?"
The person lying on the floor in front of me with a painful expression on her face was actually Nidis!
Roddy's face suddenly darkened: "Why are you here!"
Nidis' voice was trembling: "Let go! You're going to break my wrist!"
Rody's face was solemn and he let go of his hand. He watched Nidis get up from the ground quietly and still said coldly: "Why are you here?"
Nidis glared at Rody fiercely, and suddenly the anger on her face turned into a charming smile, and whispered: "I guess you must have some plan, and it's as expected."
Seeing Rody's somewhat impatient look, she hurriedly said: "I ran up here secretly. With my vampire's 'Blood Escape**', others can't even notice me."
Rody looked unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Why are you following me?"
Nidis said loudly: "Of course I'm here to collect debts from you!" She glanced at Roddy with an angry look, bit her lip, and said: "That night at the dinner in the palace, I said to him before leaving. What did you say? Do you remember?"
"What?" Rody looked confused. There were too many things going on at the dinner that day, and Nidis left in such a hurry that she didn't pay attention at all.
"I said I would wait for you in the garden!" Nidis said quietly, "But I waited until dawn and you didn't show up!"
Roddy was startled, and indeed he vaguely recalled what Nidis seemed to have said before leaving that night - but later that day there was a duel with Fielding, and then he was busy dealing with the envoys from various Roland kingdoms, and he had long since The words were forgotten. And later, something big happened like Fielding and Gu Ming being plotted by you, Fielding was seriously injured, and Gu Ming was killed.
Roddy naturally forgot all about those little things about Nidis.
Thinking of this and understanding that Nidis did not have any evil intentions, Rody breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened a little. But he still said in a deep and sanctimonious voice: "Then why did you come here? You followed me here, it's just nonsense!"
In terms of Roddy's character, it's not that he hates the charming woman in front of him, it's just that his past experiences have made him really hate the vampires in his heart.
Nidis didn't seem to care, and said with a faint smile: "I have been secretly peeping outside your palace for a few days, and I guessed that you must have something interesting and big to do. How could I miss such an interesting thing? Naturally, I followed you quietly to take a look."
Rody felt helpless. He really felt that what this woman was doing was extremely ridiculous, but now the ship had sailed to the sea. It was impossible to send her back.
Nidis sat down on the bed and said with a sweet smile: "Okay, don't always keep such a straight face on your face. It seems that you never have a good face when you see me!"
Rody took a breath and put the machete on the table. Thinking about how to deal with this daring woman, he said casually, "Why don't I look good?"
"Hmph, you were either angry or annoyed when you saw me... Especially when I saw you for the first time, you were even more..." A blush suddenly appeared on Nidis's face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Even more rude!"
Rody felt a little embarrassed, smiled lightly, and did not continue talking about this topic. Regarding the first interaction between the two, there was indeed some ambiguity in it.
The lounge in the cabin was not big at the moment. Under the dim light, there was a faint sweet aroma in the room. It must be the scent of women's spices on Nidis. Roddy seemed a little uncomfortable and said calmly: "Since you came here secretly, then stay here and don't run around. I'll think of a way to send you back."
Nidis raised her eyebrows, but said nothing. Instead, she asked, "Where are our fleet going?"
Rody hesitated for a moment and finally said sanctimoniously: "The territory of the dwarves."
"Oh?" Nidis seemed to be very interested: "I saw a lot of troops on the boat. What do you want to do? Is it a war?"
Rody said coldly: "Why are you asking so many questions? Just stay here quietly. When the matter is over, I will send you back safely."
However, Nidis jumped down from the bed and jumped in front of Rody, with a somewhat meaningful smile on her face: "If...if you really go to the Baqi Country to fight, then I'm afraid you are still very... You need to measure me!" She said with a bit of pride, "Do you have anyone who knows the dwarves? Those people in the Kingdom of Sauron are not your confidants, and their spies may not know the dwarves that well."
Rody didn't speak, just glanced at Nidis lightly.
Nidis smiled: "But it's better now. You already have an assistant who knows the dwarves very well."
"who?"
"Me!" Nidis pointed to her nose: "I dare say that no one on this ship knows the dwarves better than me! When I was young, in order to avoid being hunted by the tribe, I once traveled to the dwarf tribe. Living on the island country for four years!”
"Oh?" Rody's eyes finally lit up, and he finally looked Nidis up and down.
Rody has always lacked information and information about the mysterious dwarves, because the dwarves only live on the island country and have no relationship with other kingdoms on the mainland except for ironwood and trade. It's almost a world of its own.
Seeing that Rody seemed to be a little moved, Nidis smiled in a low voice, suddenly grabbed Rody's arm, pressed her whole body against him, and smiled sanctimoniously: "How is it? Lord Rody "Are you still anxious to drive me away now?"
She pressed her body tightly against Rody's side, hugged one of Rody's arms in her arms, and the faint sweet fragrance from her body couldn't help but penetrate into Rody's nose...
