Roddy was fully dressed and felt that his whole body was extremely refreshing, his body was extremely light and agile, and he was full of energy. He was actually a bit lighter than when he was not injured. With doubts in mind, I ran next door to see Muse.
Muse stood in front of the window in a black robe. Hearing Roddy enter the room, he turned around and looked at him. His voice was cold and he said slowly: "Don't speak. Listen to me first."
Then Muse roughly recounted what happened last night. His tone was slow and cold, but his eyes still resisted secretly looking at Roddy's expression. Rody was confused and frowned: "It turns out to be Andy. I will definitely ask him later."
Muse said calmly: "That's your business, but now everything here is over and I have fully recovered, so..." She hesitated for a moment, but still said it: "So I'm leaving."
"Leave?" Rody's heart skipped a beat, and he felt some unexplainable feelings in his heart. He whispered, "Why are you leaving?"
Muse tried his best to keep his voice cold: "Why can't I leave? I lost all my magic before, so I was your prisoner! But now that I'm completely healed, do you still have the ability to keep me? Although Watt Fortress There are tens of thousands of troops, but if I want to leave, who can stop me?"
Rody was excited. He took a step forward and whispered: "Prisoner? Do you mean prisoner? I was seriously injured that day. If you wanted to leave, how could I keep you? If I mentioned the word prisoner, Along the way, do you still have few chances to escape?" Rody looked directly at Muse, with complicated eyes flashing in his eyes.
Muse seemed to dare not touch his eyes, turned her head and sighed softly: "Why did you keep me here? You know, I am not from here after all. I... What happened on the grassland this time, I I have to rush back to the temple. King Sauron's conspiracy to overthrow the temple, how can I not go back? Besides...here...what's the use of me staying here?"
Rody stared at her blankly, but said nothing. Muse's heart softened and she said softly: "You and I are both high-ranking people, and everything we say and do is of great importance... I... if I ask you to follow me to Roland, will you be willing?"
Rody's heart felt hot, and he almost blurted out the word "yes", but in the end his mind was still clear. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Okay, I understand." He looked up at Muse and forced a smile. He smiled: "I'll take you out of the city."
The orderer prepared horses and without any entourage, Roddy accompanied Muse out of Watt Fortress and headed northeast.
Above the vast wilderness, a red sun rose from the east, and their horses walked side by side. Rody felt uncomfortable in his heart and sent one section after another until they were ten miles away and the two stopped their horses.
"Okay, let's break up here and don't send any more gifts." Muse whispered.
Roddy sat on the horse and looked at Muse without saying a word.
Muse's heart was broken. She gritted her teeth and took out an iron ring from her body and handed it over. Her voice was trembling: "This is my personal token. I have carried it with me since I was a child. We say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other again." See, I..." At this point, his voice choked up and tears finally flowed out.
Rody took it and looked at the little ring in his palm, as if he was holding the most precious thing in the world. He gritted his teeth and said: "I will keep it well, just like protecting my own eyes!" After saying this, Rody pulled out his scimitar, and with a flash of light, he cut off a strand of his blond hair, cut off a piece of clothing, wrapped it, handed it to the muse, and said calmly: "I don't have anything to give you, here is this." You are like seeing someone! From now on... from now on... I will never forget you!"
Muse trembled, took the hair wrapped in clothes, gently placed it in her arms close to her heart, looked into Roddy's eyes, and whispered: "You will not forget me, and I will not forget you!"
After saying that, he slapped his horse and whipped his whip. After running for dozens of steps, he stopped his horse again, turned around and said loudly: "Set! I heard that girl call you Seth! Is that your name?"
These days, you call me stupid and I call you tulip, but they never call me by name.
Rody shook his head and said loudly: "No! The name Seth was called by others. Remember, my name is Rody!" After a pause, he added: "Only those close to me know this name. "
When Muse heard "people close to me", his eyes showed joy, nodded, and said loudly: "You have a lot of troops in your hands and a high position. You need to know that officialdom is like a killing field. It is easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. You must treasure!"
Rody laughed loudly and said loudly: "King Sauron is very ambitious and must be a powerful person! Although you are strong, Muse, you are not very scheming, so be careful!"
Muse's eyes turned red and he said loudly: "I remember! Roddy, remember, Muse is my Christian name. My original name is Miao Cilia. If you want, you can also call me Miao Si!"
After saying this, she turned around and galloped away without stopping. Roddy was left sitting on the horse, lowering his head and thinking silently: Miaosi...
When the person and horse in the distance gradually disappeared, and no trace could be seen anymore, Roddy turned around and left in a depressed mood. He was young and had never experienced the pain of separation. At this moment, he was so upset that he couldn't help but gallop back to the city with his horse whipped.
Sieg and others saw the two of them leaving the city, but only one came back, and saw the Duke looking unhappy. They all spoke carefully, not daring to touch his sore spots.
Rody learned from Zieg and the others that Qiao Qiao was His Majesty's special envoy. He sighed, and even though he was reluctant, he still sent someone to ask Qiao Qiao to come out.
Qiaoqiao came out with a gloomy face, threw a copy of the emperor's warrant into Rody's arms, and then turned and left without saying a word.
Rody was already unhappy, but when he saw Qiaoqiao's behavior, he ignored him even more. After Qiao Qiao turned around, she waited for her lover to call her out, but there was no sound at all behind her. She felt aggrieved and felt that she had slept in the open and traveled all the way here, and all her hard work had been wasted. He walked faster and faster, and finally ran away.
Rody sighed and read His Majesty the Emperor's order carefully. After reading it, he frowned and then said to Ruben: "General Ruben, please summon the commanders of all armies."
The order came from the garrison, and within a short while, all the leading officers of the Northwest Army arrived. This time Roddy did not give way to Ruben and directly took the coaching position.
When all his officers arrived, Rody announced His Majesty's order in a deep voice.
"General Reuben has been relieved of his duties as commander of the Northwest Army and will immediately return to the imperial capital to report on his duties! The affairs of the Northwest Army will be temporarily supervised by Duke Seth-Rudolph, the special envoy of the Northwest Military Affairs!"
"The entire Northwest Army is undergoing repairs at Watt Fortress. No war with the Great Moon King's troops is allowed without His Majesty's order!"
"The deputy commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, Eliot, will be transferred as the commander of the Northwest Corps. After the new commander of the Northwest Corps takes office, Duke Seth Rudolph will immediately return to the imperial capital to report on his duties! All the Central Cavalry Corps troops will also be transferred back!"
After a few orders were announced, everyone frowned.
Everyone knew that General Reuben was dismissed from his post. It's just that His Majesty ordered the entire army to repair at Watt Fortress and not to go to war with the other party. That would be strange. According to common sense, His Majesty should mobilize the southern army to go north, then gather in the northwest, start a war with the Dayue Kingdom, and regain the lost territory!
As for Duke Tulip, everyone thinks that once the war between the two countries resumes, then this Duke should be the undisputed commander-in-chief. But not only did His Majesty have no intention of fighting, he instead transferred him back to the imperial capital and appointed someone else to be the commander of the Northwest Army...
Only Sieg and Gordon among the crowd knew this already. Before the expedition, Rody told them that this war was just for rescue. Because now the empire will not go into full-scale war with the Great Moon Kingdom. The empire is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, its military affairs are lax, and its finances don't seem to be in good shape. His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of fighting head-on with the Dayue Kingdom. Just hold on to Watt Fortress and the northwest plains. As for the province occupied by the opponent, that is a matter of political negotiation and has nothing to do with the army.
Rody coughed twice, and the whispering immediately stopped. After looking around, Rody slowly spoke.
"Starting from today, I am temporarily taking over everything in the Northwest Army under His Majesty's order! Now I order that from today on, the entire army will be repaired in Watt Fortress! The military camp is on first-level alert! In addition to the daily required scouts and scouts, other Officers and soldiers of all armies, no one is allowed to leave the city without my order!"
Ruben looked calm, and meticulously handed over the job seal and token of the northwest army commander to Rody in front of everyone. Then he ignored the complicated looks of everyone and went straight out to find his own soldiers to pack their bags and get ready to go on the road.
Rody dispersed the crowd and felt unhappy. In his opinion, most of the responsibility for the defeat in the Northwest did not lie with Reuben. The Northwest Army has long been eaten away by moths in the army, and has been rotten from the roots. In this case, how could Reuben not lose the battle
Of course, Ruben's own lax military management was also his problem. But the current environment in the Imperial Army is like this, even the Central Cavalry Corps, which is known as the most elite in the Empire, is like this. How can Ruben alone change the situation
With Roddy, Sieg and Gordon seeing them off, Ruben returned to the imperial capital with a team of his own soldiers.
After sending Ruben away, Rody felt depressed. Thinking of the two army bugs in the city at the moment, he sneered in his heart: "I have wanted to punish you for a long time. I came back so many days late, but I can make you more happy." Oh my God!"
As soon as I returned to the garrison, my soldiers immediately reported that the garrison commander Fedo and the northwest army commander Ferrara had sent many gifts.
Rody took a look and saw a few heavy wooden boxes placed in the hall of the garrison. He ordered his soldiers to open them and take a look. The boxes were all heavy and golden, containing more than 100,000 gold coins.
Rody sneered in his heart, these two guys were not slow to react at this moment. Last time, I pretended to ask for a bribe from them and got 100,000 gold coins, which was used as military pay and military supplies. All of it was used to build fortifications and strengthen the city wall. This time I had only been back for a day, and as expected, these two people sent money again.
"What did they say when they sent them something?"
The soldiers replied: "The two commanders congratulated the Duke on his victory and returned to the city. They said that the nobles in the city came together to reward the army with these gifts! Also, they invited you to attend the afternoon feast to celebrate our Thunder God's Whip's surprise attack. Another victory!"
Rody smiled faintly and said: "Okay, you guys carry this money down and give it to Lord Siege. The brothers who died in the battle this time will receive the pension of the Imperial Army. Each family will get another one from the money." Come out! Leave everything else to Sir Sieg."
Hundreds of thousands of gold coins can be put to some use. This damn defense fee is too high! According to the regulations of the empire, the wall of the first-level fortress must be twelve meters high, but the wall of Watt Fortress is less than ten meters. This bastard moth simply wants money rather than his life!
Rody sighed and couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, he would no longer have the right to deal with these guys once the new commander of the Northwest Army came. He ordered his men to go to the Central Cavalry Corps barracks in the city and found two teams of Spike Troopers. He first gave a few instructions to a captain and asked him to take the people, and then he led the other team towards the banquet place. .
Ferrara and Fedo had gathered all the nobles in the city at this moment, and everything had been prepared in the manor where the last banquet was held. Today, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Today in the hall of the garrison, they heard with their own ears that Ruben was dismissed from his post and returned to the imperial capital to report on his duties. As soon as Ruben left, the people who were familiar with the situation of the Northwest Army were finally gone... The person in the imperial capital had already received a letter. It was said that Ruben As soon as he returns, he will immediately enter the Dharma Department. As long as Reuben is convicted in the end, he alone will bear the responsibility for the defeat.
Although the Duke here also knows the truth, he has received his own money after all! One hundred thousand gold coins! If he dares to rebel, then everyone will die together! Hum, say we are corrupt! Didn’t he himself accept so much money from us? !
So today Ferrara immediately sent another hundred thousand gold coins to the garrison mansion, determined to tie the Duke tightly to the same rope as himself!
At this time, I heard my own soldiers coming in to report that the Duke had arrived. Ferrara felt relieved, as long as today passed, the matter would be basically solved.
She dragged Fei Duo out to greet him. Seeing the panic on Fei Duo's face, Ferrara felt a trace of disdain in her heart. This defense commander is too idiotic! After this incident is over, we must report to the person in the imperial capital and transfer this idiot to another place!
Ferrara was thinking about his own thoughts, but suddenly he saw a group of heavily armed Central Cavalry Corps soldiers rushing in outside the door. Everyone unsheathed their scimitars and rushed in with a murderous look on their faces.
The male and female nobles who were wearing fine clothes and attending the banquet were all yelling and running away in fear. A few of them were a little bolder and wanted to put on airs and scare these soldiers away. But just as he opened his mouth, these soldiers of the Wolf Fang Army all followed Rody from the imperial capital to fight in the northwest. They only knew to obey the orders of the Duke, but no matter what Viscount Baron or something like that was in front of them, as long as they stopped him again. The guy on the way was caught and thrown out directly.
Exclamations were mixed with screams. The door was occupied by soldiers, leaving a space free. Then he heard the sound of leather boots, and Rody strode in with a gloomy expression.
Ferrara was surprised and wanted to go up and talk. Rody saw him, pointed at Ferrara and Feiduo, whose legs were already weak with fear, and shouted coldly: "It's those two! Pull them out and chop them!"
