Chapter 349 Approach and Retreat

【Martyrs' Day】

Most people always have all kinds of fantasies when facing difficulties, but truly mature people will only think about how to rely on their own resources to solve the problem when facing difficulties—just like at this moment, Roddy and Ann Gema made his own decision immediately after a brief panic.

After Rody left the Duke's mansion, Angmar, who was relieved by the magic spell, responded immediately: After a brief communication with Bishop Nova, ten pigeons were sent out immediately, and a whole A fast-paced courier team also set off together, rushing to different destinations from various routes, including the "Holy Temple" where Rubens was, the "Bodog Diocese" where Benjamin was, and the "Buddha Parish" where Sally is currently. Riel Forest”…

This is the only way Angmar can think of at the moment, but what worries him is not the possible conspiracy of the "Viper Cross", but the internal struggle within the "Rose Cross" sect - the person in charge of this mission is Mogley Bishop Ni, and Rubens, who is about to be promoted to "cardinal", is in a state of "opposition" with the other party in terms of faction...

Some things are far from as simple as imagined, but for Angmar, the only thing he can do now is to wait...

But when he turned his head to ask about Rody's whereabouts, what John's butler reported made him deeply frown.

"You said he took seven bundles of rope from here, and ordered three sets of warm fur coats?"

Angmar's face was full of incomprehensible expressions, John was also puzzled, and added: "He directly takes care of people's orders at the warehouse. According to them, Roddy also took a bag of bread from the kitchen, Three bags of water..."

If you are planning to go on a long journey, it is normal to take food, but Angmar obviously didn't understand why Rody took the leather jacket in summer, shook his head, and asked again: "Then he left the city?"

"Yes, sir, but...a soldier reported that Rody didn't take all his equipment with him when he left. He left behind his tomahawk, and then left through the north city gate."

"North city gate?"

Angmar was completely dumbfounded, because both the "Brill Forest" and the "Holy Temple" are in the southeast of the kingdom, so the fastest way to get out of the city gate is through the east gate...

If it weren't for the unmatched trust in Rody, Angmar would have regarded this behavior as "running away" at this time... But even if he knew that Roddy would not mess around, seeing his weird behavior, Angmar would not It is difficult to expect much from him in my heart.

Now the only thing he can count on is those homing pigeons.

At the same moment, Rody, who was galloping his horse in the dark night, was on his way to the Forest of Whispering Whispers at high speed.

On the left side of the war horse hung the leather jacket and ropes he brought from the Duke's Mansion, and on the right side was a large bag of bread and meat for food. Rody had already put on his "Giant Beast Master" leather suit. Wearing [Ice Crystal Thorn] and wearing [Purification Blade] left Hollier City.

Roddy didn't carry the "Blood Drinker" battle ax because it was too heavy and would be a huge burden for the next journey of more than 1,500 kilometers.

The sound of horseshoes reverberated in the silent night, and Rody's agitated mood had been completely suppressed by him within half an hour... At this time, his eyes were abnormally calm, and the idea that seemed to be a fantasy at first in his mind was gradually perfected. became a feasible plan.

Things that are impossible in the eyes of others are not impossible for Rody, a former player... But at this time, Rody didn't think too much about how to reach the destination quickly, but thought about how to get to the destination quickly. The possibility of being involved in this battle.

If it was just a small-scale battle of a few hundred people, it might not be possible for Mogra Village to be involved in the "Brill Forest". The range must have a great probability of affecting all nearby towns—logistics transportation lines, fronts between the enemy and us, strategic depth, etc., all of which may pull Mogra Village into the vortex of war

In other words, Nefer is in danger of facing war.

Rody never wanted anything to happen to her, but when he carefully sorted out his mood, he found that he was also worried about Sally's safety——

Although he didn't want to admit it, Luo Di was now very aware of a fact: the girl who once confessed to him but was politely rejected by him had actually left an indelible shadow in his heart.

But what is her position in my heart?

Rody was a little confused, but he quickly pressed the question that he couldn't think of an answer to in his heart——Looked up at the road in front of him, recalled the information of "Whispering Forest" in his heart, and after confirming the path in front of him, he Speeded up again and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Six hours later, in the early morning of May 1st, Brill Forest.

The temporary camp of the "Rosie Cross" team looked very simple, the tents were a bit dilapidated due to long-term use, and because of the rising temperature, they didn't bother to repair the holes in them, and they were often covered by a few big leaves. It is enough to keep out the rain.

During the war, all living conditions became extremely crude, and even farmers who were used to hard times could hardly endure long-term combat missions in the rainforest—but the members of Sally's team never complained about the poor logistics, The food is too unpalatable, because they know that the captain is a nobleman and a woman, but he has never complained about it.

"Captain Sally, there is news from the front that another three teams of enemies have been purified, and the seventh team has not been injured. It seems that the main force of the enemy has begun to withdraw on a large scale, and those who are left behind are weak guys. .”

The rain was still falling, and the soldiers generally looked very embarrassed. The adjutant who came to report the battle situation looked like he had been fished out of the water, trying to wipe the rain off his face.

"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be many talents left in the opponent's main force, and based on the distance and the gap between front and back, they should have already reached the outside of the Brill Forest."

Stretching out her hand to tie up her slightly messy short hair with a hemp rope, Sally calmly analyzed the situation in front of the team, then frowned and asked, "But... Bishop Mograine didn't set up a sentry outside the forest?"

"As far as I know, no, our troops entered from the southern part of the forest, and the open area outside the northern part of the forest is full of villages and towns. Perhaps the bishop thinks it is unnecessary."

Naturally, Sally doesn't believe in such an explanation. Speaking of which, the "Rosicrucian" sect seldom has battles with a scale of more than 10,000 people. Hands-on, which also leads to few people in the sect who are really good at large-scale combat. But this time, Bishop Mograine's ability to command the battle with full authority is probably the result of trade-offs and even struggles among the cardinals.

This battle is just a springboard for the high-level people. After this battle, Bishop Mograine may make a further leap, enter the real inner circle, and become a strong candidate for the next Pope.

However, this is not something Sally needs to worry about. What she cares about at this moment is only the problems that her troops will face: "The enemy's mobility will increase several times after leaving the forest, and we don't know anything in the forest... this I'm afraid that this kind of thing is prone to problems, isn't there even someone who investigates in advance?"

"Captain, the scouts at the front haven't left the forest to investigate, and there is no news from outside the forest yet, we—captain?"

The adjutant suddenly noticed that Sally's face was pale and abnormal, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked a few questions quickly, but Sally waved her hand, and she seemed not in the mood to continue the conversation, and said in a low voice: "Let's go to the team." , leave in five minutes."

The adjutant led the order with some doubts, but after the other party disappeared from sight, Sally stretched out her hand and pressed her chest hard, but closed her eyes in a somewhat dejected manner.

Scout... When I met him for the first time, he said he was a scout.

Some pictures popped up in her mind, but it made her hard to suppress the emotions a little uncontrollable—for countless days and nights, Sally could endure such difficult conditions, endure the psychological pressure of leading the team, endure all the sufferings brought about by the war, In fact, there is only one reason in the final analysis:

Only such busyness and suffering can make her temporarily forget about the nightmare news...

But such a thing will never be forgotten in a lifetime, and tears are useless—she covered her cheeks with her hands, rubbed her sore eye sockets vigorously, took a deep breath, and then bent down and walked out of her tent...

"ready to go."

May 1st, noon.

Outside the Brill Forest, Mogra Village.

After summer, apart from planting some easy-to-grow oats, the farmers spend much less time in the fields every day than in spring plowing and autumn harvesting. Therefore, Nai Fei can always see many farmers enjoying the shade at the entrance of the village—every day After reading those tomes, she would still come here to wait for her mother to come back, but half a year later, Nai Fei, who was waiting day after day, still did not see her mother.

"Nife, your collie seems to have taken Pala's dress away, don't forget to return it to her."

"Yes, Uncle Tom."

Sitting on the straw stack, Nai Fei seems to be a little taller than last year, her big eyes are still alive - she stretched out her hand to build a pergola, then pointed to the distance, and asked the farmers who were enjoying the shade next to them: "What about that?" There seem to be many people around?"

"Little Nafie, you have really good eyes, but I can't see clearly? Where are you?"

"Just at the edge of the forest, there seem to be many people on horseback."

Naifei blinked her big eyes and looked into the distance curiously, "Isn't the forest very dangerous? Why do they want to go in?"

How did the farmers know about the religious war taking place in the Brill Forest at this time, they were all puzzled, looked at each other and replied: "Maybe some adventurers or mercenaries, they sometimes go in to explore, hunt some monsters and so on of."

"Oh, it's like the big snake I saw in Green City last time. I've been chasing it for a long time."

After Naifei finished speaking, she glanced again, but in the end she felt that it was meaningless, so she jumped off the straw stack, sang nursery rhymes softly, and went home.
