Roddy and Carter walked straight into Sodin's room, but then found that the face of the commander in front of him was not very good.

Usually this expression means that the two scout teams will not have a good life in the next three days. Soding can be regarded as a standard "drinking bag": he is not very capable, has a big temper, is lazy, is very happy to be good at eating, and is basically not short of any shortcomings.

In "Lodi"'s memory, this guy only used his father's identity as a knight entourage to get such a useless military rank. Although he has a military rank, he can only be called a mixed military pay.

Everyone knows that when Soding's father died on the battlefield, this cub was only eight years old. His entourage, who had good martial arts skills, had no time to pass on anything, so Soding's mother became a widow. The latter also died of illness two years later. The broken family failed to let Soding learn to fight, but ultimately created his ambition and lazy and flirting temperament.

Yesterday, Soding was originally planning to rely on a sack of orc heads to seek credit, but after thinking about it, he felt that these things seemed to be not enough to achieve their promotion. "It's not enough to do anything but failing." It is about people like him who have not done their best but are greedy for me, and they still have to resent if they don't get it. At this time, Soding was indignant and did not kill a few orcs yesterday, and he felt a little frustrated and had nowhere to vent - but when he saw the orc heads in Carter's hand, his eyes lit up. The bad mood that he originally wanted to curse immediately turned 180 degrees, and asked in surprise: "Have you killed so many orcs again?!"

"Yes, sir, these are the corpses of eight orc wolf cavalrymen, we-"

Carter wanted to continue saying something, but Soding seemed to have no intention of waiting for him to talk nonsense. He completely ignored the bloody smell and rushed up and snatched a bunch of heads. He smiled and patted Carter on the shoulder: "One, two, three...eight? I haven't seen you be so powerful before. Are the orcs really so vulnerable?"

Soding, who had never been on the battlefield, naturally did not understand the sinisterness of this battle. Carter's mentality changed a lot at this moment. He couldn't help but feel disgusted with Soding in front of him - not only disgusted with Soding's unconcealed greed, but also disgusted with himself who was a little similar to the other party at the time.

"These are eight orc wolf cavalry, sir." Carter did not respond as flatteringly as before, but instead showed a faint alienation. "We found an orc camp in the northwest and were chased by them, but in the end these wolf cavalry were solved by us-"

“Good job!”

Soding was completely unaware of how important the information in Carter's words was. At this moment, he was thinking about how many silver coins and military merits these orcs could exchange for. A few words of unnutritious praise and greetings blocked Carter's words, and then signaled that Carter could retreat, but as for Roddy - he didn't even look at it from beginning to end.

Carter was extremely embarrassed.

He admitted that he was not very capable, and he also admitted that he liked to talk big, and sometimes even felt complacent about his good interpersonal relationships. But at this moment, he felt that whether he was flattering or flattering to Soding in the past, he really made him feel a little disgusted with the results he had now.

He was a humble person, but it does not mean that he was an ungrateful person. He brought Roddy here because he recognized Roddy's efforts and status in his heart. Today's battle has completely proved Roddy's ability. I believe that making him a leader is much more suitable than himself.

But Carter was intentional, Sodin was not intentional, because this shit lieutenant had no idea of ​​the importance of the information "discovering the Orc Camp"!

Carter was worried before that whether the noble lords would ignore this news as Roddy said, but now it seems that not to mention the nobles, even the fucking second lieutenant doesn't seem to have the brain to pay attention to this important battle report.

He turned his head to look at Roddy, but found that the young man was not anxious or angry, but just looked down and shook his head. Carter sighed helplessly. The two of them said nothing more and left together, leaving only Sodin alone looking at the orcs' heads excited whether he could be promoted to lieutenant.

"I didn't expect--ah..."

Walking out of the house, Carter wanted to smile bitterly, but found that his voice was very dry, and what he wanted to say eventually turned into a sigh.

"It is normal for the Kingdom of Karen to have been through peace for too long that people are unwilling to face war, and even prefer to deceive themselves when war is approaching."

Roddy remembered the tasks of the Karen Kingdom novice village when the "Split Earth" service was launched a year later. The information reflected in it shows that even when the orcs were raging on the border, no one in the Karen Kingdom would believe that the orcs would really invade, just think that this was the "stimulating action" of "a small number of orcs" - because the agreement signed by the Kingdom after repelled the orcs stated that the orcs should not be allowed to step into the territory of the Karen Kingdom, and people naively believed that these orcs would not break up...

Facts have proved that any war is an outbreak of cumulative contradictions. The so-called "fuse" is nothing but a small matter and is not worth mentioning, because what should happen will always happen, just like people who fight because of a quarrel. They scold each other before, but they just find a reason to make more ruthless. Roddy understands the result of the orcs invasion, but he cannot now announce to the world that this will definitely happen.

The same sentence - who would take it seriously by a scout's nonsense "guessment"?

Carter returned to the village with Roddy in silence, and today's mission ended here. The scout team was not as strict as the elite teams of the Cavalry Regiment or the City of Hollier. The soldiers were basically relatively idle. The only entertainment activity every day except eating, sleeping, patrolling the border was just a gathering of gambling. The soldiers were poor and lost, and they won and lost only a few copper coins. They were in remote areas and had no brothels to go to, because this was the village of Lord Kirk. If they didn't want to lose their jobs, no one dared to do a hooligan who bullyed men and women. They were so tired that they could only say a few dirty words in front of the widows in the village.

But these soldiers who used to seem to have nowhere to vent their energy, are now scary. When Carter and Roddy walked into the dining shed, the scouts of the second team stood up collectively, as if waiting for some news.

"Everyone...I have something to say today."

Carter had no leadership style at all, and even his current position was not considered a superior. However, at this moment, a word made the thirteen scouts standing in front of him collectively turn their attention to him.

This did not bring any sense of vanity, but made him feel even more bitter. His eyes drooped slightly, and his voice was a little dull: "Our group of scouts who made a living were all earning this meager military pay with their lives. Speaking of which, no one is more noble than anyone else. Today... we killed a team of orc wolves, and many people may not understand what this means, but I remember clearly who led our brothers from the second team back alive from that situation."

The scouts of a team were unclear, but they all remained silent when they recalled the string of heads Carter was carrying today and the word "Wolf Cavalry".

"Emperor Soding thought the orcs were not threats, and he ignored the news that appeared in the camp. But... but I believe what Roddy said."

"That's an orc...that's not a human! These orc beasts raised by bitch will sooner or later extend their fangs to us, reaching Nolan Village and even Hallier City..." Carter lowered his head and slowly took off the badge of the captain's scout on his chest, looked up, and looked at the comrades in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of pride: "If you don't say much, you will lead us to victory. Roddy did it, and lead us to make the right decision. I think he can do it."

Turning around, Carter put the captain's emblem on Roddy's chest without any refusal, then stood attentively and gave an extremely serious military salute.

Everyone understands the meaning of this series of actions. But Roddy is very impressed by the fact that Carter can make such a decision.

As a modern person, Roddy's concepts such as "the ability occupies the power" and "abdication and giving up the wise" seem too advanced compared to the medieval feudal society that "breaks the soil". He cannot fully understand what Carter gave up when he did this, but he just felt instinctively... It is not easy to make a person who may be able to be at the bottom of his life give up the few powers in his hands.

More than a dozen soldiers looking at Roddy and Carter were silent for a while, but there was no objection - Ruger, who was sitting in the corner, probably understood what was going on, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Can you explain it to us?"

This is already a very polite word. When did Ruger have such an attitude towards Carter or Roddy? But whether it is the beating Roddy that he gave him today or the victory of the scout team's biggest encounter in the past decade in the afternoon, it has indescribable significance for Ruger, a veteran.

Unlike Carter, Ruger is not a new recruit or a second lieutenant Soding who deceives the world. In a sense, he is the only veteran among the servicemen in Nolan Village who has seen the power of the wolf cavalry.

So no matter how much conflict Roddy had with him before, in the face of the orc threat, they must have shared the same hatred of the enemy.

As the captain of the first team of scouts, Ruger has always been in a state of opposite sings with the second team of captain. He looked down on those naive young people, but after hearing Carter's words, his eyes that had always been sharp but never convincing turned to Roddy, without surprise, but more of it was a kind of gaze.

Ruger, who was still bruised on his face, had a big temper, but this also proved that he was straightforward - "You killed eight wolf cavalry? No losses?"

Carter understood that the conflict between the two of them this morning might not be easy to resolve, and then explained in detail the entire process of today's battle. After a few words, all the scouts' eyes that looked at Roddy had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Even Ruger was briefly lost. He seemed to remember something, his tight lips and closed eyes all meant that that memory might be his lifelong pain...

When he opened his eyes again, his face seemed a little haggard than before. He looked at Carter and asked in a low voice: "What did that guy Sodin say?"

"He? He is just counting how many military achievements can be exchanged for those heads."

Carter snorted coldly, causing the scouts around to feel a little angry and unwilling to do so.

"The problem we have to face now is that the orcs are building camps 30 kilometers away. If they are allowed to complete the outpost, I am afraid that Nolan Village will face attacks from those beasts sooner or later." Carter's face was gloomy. Thinking of Sodin's attitude, he was a little angry. "Rody gave these inferences. I didn't want to believe them at first, but now it seems... I have no choice."

Roddy saw Ruger's reaction and knew in his heart that although the beating in the morning caused a lot of losses, it had definitely played a big role at this time - at least the entire scout team had begun to focus on themselves vaguely.

Carter took the initiative to "get virtuous" was something Roddy didn't expect. In fact, he had already begun to use various means to get the captain's position. If Luge dared to object, he would also find an opportunity to make the other party completely convinced. However, it seems that the reactions of these two people were much better than they imagined. It would be difficult to realize the next plan...

For his own purposes, Roddy thought for a while and spoke in a serious tone: "The second lieutenant has not issued any specific orders, so our mission continues."

After hearing this, the scouts seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the faint expectation also faded, but Roddy's next words made them raise their heads suddenly-
Chapter completed!
