21. Chapter 21 Once Hero(2/2)
The young man's words made Luger's expression change.
"We don't have more time to talk nonsense. If the villagers are not allowed to evacuate today, a squadron of orcs will bloodbath this place and turn it into ruins tomorrow. Do you want to see this scene?!"
Ruger was not stupid. He actually understood that the forged letter from Second Lieutenant Sodin in his hand was not very convincing, so he could only use bluffs and deceptions to get the other party to make a decision. To be honest, he had no idea about the orcs gathering their forces to attack an enemy.
The village with strategic value expressed doubts, but thinking of Rody's serious face when he spoke, he finally chose to believe it, but the stupid guy in front of him seemed to see the flaw.
It's really a bit troublesome.
Luger was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but just when he saw Rody walking out of the manor, the young leader came to a few people with a strange expression. He frowned and stared as if he had seen something hard to believe.
Looking at the scout lieutenant in Finks Village in front of him, he finally asked hesitantly——
"Sodelor?"
The big man turned his head and frowned at the guy with a strange expression in front of him. Although he didn't understand why the other person looked at him like this, he still nodded and replied: "It's me, have we met before?"
More than just seen.
After receiving the affirmative answer, Rody was deeply shocked - but what followed immediately was a bit of sadness.
In the game world before his rebirth, there were countless popular heroes in "Split Earth", and Soderol was one of the most dazzling heroes.
He was once the supreme commander of the rebel army, one of the few powerful beings whose strength has exceeded the 60th level of the advanced professional level, and a legendary general with a battlefield victory rate of over 90%!
However, his countless dazzling aura gradually faded after he fell to a despicable assassination. The rebel army lost a general, was betrayed by "friendly forces" one after another, and was ultimately defeated.
Roddy was a witness to the entire history, and he witnessed the whole process of this general from standing out to falling. But he never imagined that the once legendary figure would be in a position similar to his own at this moment. He was just a small border boy.
The town’s scout captain?
If he hadn't really been reborn from that era, I'm afraid Roddy himself wouldn't believe this.
"I - I have heard of your name. Let me introduce myself. I am Roddy, the scout captain of Nolan Village... Lieutenant Sodin was injured during the battle with the orcs and could not come in person, so he asked us to hurry up.
Come and report this information." He made up a lie casually, but after thinking about it, he added: "In the past three days, we have killed more than thirty orcs and raided a camp. This information was learned by chance.
Because there is an orc who knows Bulinga."
Roddy remembered the analysis and various introductory articles about the former army commander on the forum, and knew that he was thoughtful, so he quickly listed the evidence and reasons in order to close all the doubts in a short time and strive to get the other party to cooperate as soon as possible.
own actions.
"Killed more than thirty orcs...?"
Soderall raised his eyebrows. Anyone who heard the news that the scout troops could do this would be shocked, but it was obvious that he did not give up his vigilance at this time, and could even be said to be a bit calm.
"Seven casualties, a heavy loss, but fortunately the orcs suffered even worse losses." Rody thought for a while, and immediately took out the genuine piece of sandpaper in his hand with the enemy's attack time written on it, and handed it to Sodero without hesitation.
Er said: "This was found from that orc."
Does Soderol know these words?
Perhaps not even the entire Finks Village scouts know that Rody's ability to recognize orc writing was first popularized under Sodlor's order, and Sodlor himself was the first military general who could recognize orc writing.
——Rody has reason to believe that even though Soderol will not be as powerful and wise as he remembers, he will definitely have his own way of judging some clues.
"letter?"
Soderall took it, and the first thing he did was not to identify the words, but to rub the papyrus in the light of the fire - he squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then stared at the handwritings and compared them with each other. After a minute, this
The scout's brows gradually relaxed, but his expression became even tighter...
Raising his hand, he handed the letter back to Rody and asked directly: "I believe what you said, what do you need me to do now?"
There was a moment of silence in the scene, and Luger opened his mouth wide, not hiding his shock, because they all understood that the text of the letter was written in the orc language... and to them, the orc text was completely a heavenly book!
Now the other party completely believed Roddy's words after just a few glances. Let's not talk about his ability to judge orc writing, but this courage is unprecedented.
It was indeed that monster-like guy.
Rody was overjoyed and sighed at the same time - although the Soderol in front of him was only a young second lieutenant, he could still calmly analyze and make decisions under such circumstances. It was really...
The corner of his mouth twitched a little. Roddy didn't want to be at odds with this guy. In later years, he himself participated in several foreign wars organized by the other party. He was deeply aware of the iron-blooded and powerful nature of this general.
At this time, Soderol decided to cooperate. Roddy did not refuse any pretentious excuses. He looked at the team that was about to enter the village in the distance and made clear arrangements: "The orcs will attack tomorrow, so our actions must be
Be fast—and without any resistance!”
"Ruger——"
Luger immediately stood at attention when his name was called, and the sound of the heels of his boots was extremely clear.
"Let the team members continue to help the villagers leave. Don't take any extra things. No one must be left here before midnight."
"yes!"
He immediately turned around and trotted away, and then only Rody and Soderol were left face to face - looking at the young man in front of him who he once could only look up to, but now he was just a second lieutenant, Rody hesitated for half a second.
He solemnly performed a military salute and then said: "I'm going to persuade Butler Hall and Miss Sally, but I don't expect to succeed. So if there is any dispute, try to keep your people from coming."
Soderol narrowed his eyes. He lowered his head and stared at the scout he met for the first time. He seemed to be considering and weighing something. Finally, he nodded silently, returned the military salute, and turned towards his men.
"call."
Rody breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Soderol does not have the decisive general temperament that he will have in the future, Rody finds that he cannot seem to completely get rid of the influence of the "past" or the "future" that has become blurred.
Looking back, in the dim light, Butler Hall was furious at several servants who looked frightened, because he finally discovered the strange movement of the villagers who were packing their bags collectively. The servants of the manor stood there obediently and were scolded, while the housekeeper was anxious.
He was sweating profusely, but could not stop the Duke's daughter, Miss Sally, from riding in front of her.
"Hello, Butler Hall."
Sally, the daughter of the duke, came to Hall and dismounted gracefully. Although the daughter of the duke was young, she had great momentum when she came to meet her. In the light of the torch, she saluted politely and her eyes flashed slightly when she raised her head.
He seemed a little surprised and curious, and asked softly: "Is Finks Village going to move collectively today?"
Her tone was just a simple inquiry, but it sounded like an accusation to the housekeeper, which made him suddenly sweat on his back. He stammered and replied: "Miss Sally, I...this...the villagers seem to-"
-them…"
Hall couldn't speak a complete sentence for a long time, but at this moment, a voice he absolutely didn't want to hear sounded in his ears——
"Rody, the captain of Nolan Village Scout Team 2, wishes to report a piece of news to the respected Miss Sally."
Village, scout, and captain. These three words are destined to mean that the person speaking is as humble as a commoner. In the view of Hall, the housekeeper of Finks Village, this unknown snack queen is simply using himself as air...
He was already in a depressed mood as he encountered unfortunate events one after another, but was interrupted again at this moment. He immediately turned around and shouted in annoyance -
"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to stand here and speak?! When did the scouts of Nolan Village need to report the situation here?"
"You are going too far! I will definitely punish you with the most severe laws!"
Butler Hall didn't know that being so angry was tantamount to leaving Sally aside who should have spoken. But when he was scolding Rody, he never thought... Rody's eyes never stopped.
In the end, she didn't even look at him, but stared straight at the Duke's daughter who had just dismounted.
This was the first time Rody saw the daughter of an old duke who had died in history. In his imagination, this girl should be innocent, perhaps a little naughty, or calm and quiet.
When he looked at it, he saw that the other party's face in the firelight was indeed beautiful and slender, but the inexplicable aura of "guaranteed victory" made him frown slightly.
It seems... there is a premonition that something is not right.
"Butler Hall, I think I still have the right to decide whether I should listen to this scout's report, right?"
Sally noticed Roddy's gaze. She didn't seem to think the scout was rude, but simply interrupted Butler Hall's chatter.
At this moment, Hall was like a duck that had been hit hard with a stick, his mouth slightly open and his expression stunned.
The young duke's daughter was well known for her politeness and gentle personality, but at this moment, the housekeeper never thought that the words ringing in his ears contained a hint of coldness that frightened him.
Sally, whose face was cold for a moment, ignored Hall and turned her gaze to Roddy - the slight curve of the corners of her mouth disappeared, leaving only seriousness.
