239. Chapter 239 A group of cats and mice
When Roddy led the cavalry regiment to the last group of enemies, these guys who had completely lost their fighting spirit ran away without any suspense, and even lost the courage to fight...
The swaying trees no longer swayed, and the soldiers entangled by vines on the ground stopped struggling, while the Templars, who had just cheered Roddy's name, stood there, silently turning their eyes to the young man who had broken through the three-layer defense line just to rescue them.
"Three minutes to rest, then set off." Roddy looked at the Templars with ropes tied on them, and pointed to behind them in a calm tone: "We still have a battle to fight."
Following the direction of Roddy's finger, the knights could vaguely see a group of soldiers coming from the outside of the town.
After breaking through the three enemy lines of defense, Roddy, who gave the orders so calmly, really made the knights feel an unspeakable shock. They feel more in their hearts, but they are Roddy's tenacious belief that he will not abandon anyone.
No matter how many generous speeches are, they are not as good as Roddy's quick and neat actions - perhaps a knight had some complaints about Roddy before, but from this moment on, whether it was the captured or the temple guards who supported the team, they were completely convinced!
The rope was cut open, and Akasha's "recovery techniques" fell on her body, and bottles of potions were stuffed into her hands. These knights looked at the war horses led over and reached out to hold the weapons hanging on the saddle, all feeling an inexplicable excitement...
They never thought that the counterattack moment would come back so quickly.
Fatty Henry was shocked by the value it represented when he took the potion. As a mercenary, he had the right not to participate in such a battle, but after unscrewing the bottle cap and drinking the potion, he made a silent decision, turned over and joined the team without saying a word.
On the other hand, Roddy and Brody's conversation was short and meaningful.
"I didn't expect you would really bring the team."
The old elf said in a very emotional tone. The humans in their impression were all greedy and selfish. For Roddy, he never thought that the other party would have such courage and courage - a team of only sixty people would dare to directly attack the enemy's defenses to rescue him. This kind of thing really made Brody change his understanding of "humanity".
"Rescue is something that should be done. I am sorry for the suffering I suffered because of me." Roddy's eyes stopped on Nata, who lowered his eyes, but had no intention of looking directly at him - Roddy could understand this, but when he saw the shackles on Nata's feet, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Heavy shackles grind blood marks on Nata's ankles.
Roddy did not ask about his well-being, but turned around and asked the whereabouts of the key from the enemies wrapped in vines. Then he found it himself and opened the shackles for Nata.
Nata looked at Roddy's movements, although she tried to keep her face cold, for a moment, the wood elf girl was still moved after all...
However, when the dense footsteps came, Nata realized that it was time to leave - the siege of more than 1,200 soldiers was huge, and then the scattered cavalry followed gradually gathered, and several lords could even be seen.
Roddy seemed to be unaware of it. He still calmly brought the war horses for Brody and Nata. However, just as he carried the spare quiver on his body, Brody suddenly said: "If you want to leave, the team can go from here to the south of the town."
"kindness?"
Roddy raised her eyebrows.
"Along the way I planted a tree species, and if needed... I can block the enemies through here for a while."
This is why Brody and Nata emphasized "returning along the same road". Because of Roddy's rescue, this plan had been ignored by Brody, but when he saw the enemies attacking around him, he still reminded him -
"Oh...you want to use 'furious growth' and 'guarding soul'?"
Roddy directly used the Elf language to talk, and the two spell names made Brody stunned - because Roddy's judgment was correct.
Learning the answer from Brody's expression, Roddy then said directly: "Then reduce the growth height below the knee and cooperate with the "Guardian Soul" to cast it, so that I can hold the enemy longer."
This is not a negotiable attitude. Brody agreed happily, and then he was supported onto a war horse.
"Sodlor, Ruger, Carter, some changes to the plan..."
Roddy turned around and arranged a simple task with several captains. Thirty seconds later, he waved his hand quickly, "Get on the horse--"
"Set off!"
The command sounded, and the scout team immediately rushed forward along the road with two captains Ruger and Carter. The rescued Templars became a separate guard team, escorting the two wood elves to evacuate together.
At this time, all the soldiers under Roddy remained extremely mobile, with eighty-four people serving the combat unit - if we talk about the "purpose of combat", Roddy's current mission has been completed halfway: the person has been rescued, and the next thing we have to do is to successfully escape from the enemy's encirclement.
Such a plan was expected by everyone, and even the nobles around him thought that Roddy had to do next was to flee the town, but they could never imagine what kind of terrible counterattack would be made when a PVP player who would use all the conditions decided on something...
"Do you really think that if you have too many people, you can be unscrupulous?"
Roddy looked at the street in the distance, and his tone was quite playful. As the footsteps approached, a team of more than 20 infantrymen had already appeared on the corner of the street.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the knights accelerated to leave. In the smoke and dust, Nata on the horse's back felt extremely complicated - she wanted to leave as she hated humans before, but when she saw Roddy rushing to her so crazy, the strong touch made her unconsciously be pulled by Brudy to follow the team.
He was not skillfully manipulating the horses. When the team gradually started, Nata turned her head and looked at Roddy, but found that he was actually staying there alone.
This feeling was as if everyone had abandoned Roddy. For some reason, Nata suddenly felt a little panicked. When her eyes turned to Brody next to her, the old village chief shook his head: "Since he has his own decision, there is no need to ask more questions."
Akasha, who also turned back frequently, had the same concerns in her heart, but when she thought of Roddy's confidence and coldness when arranging tasks, she finally resisted the messy thoughts, tightened her hands and held the cloth bag with the scroll next to her, and ran along the scheduled route...
The shouts of infantrymen could be heard on the street, and the first soldiers who arrived only saw the smoke and dust left by the cavalry after they left. However, what surprised them was that after the smoke and dust disappeared, a lonely figure with a short bow was left in the middle of the street.
Green light flashed through the sky, and Brody's "violent growth" spell made the main street of Kiger Town, which ran through the north and south, instantly grew countless low vegetation. With the cast of the "Guardian Soul", Roddy's figure slowly retreated into the shadow of the buildings beside him in the sight of the pursuers-
"He wants to run away!"
"Catch him!"
"Kill one first, it's one!"
In the empty town of Kiger, soldiers swarmed in and rushed towards Roddy shouting loudly.
Behind them, Earl Owen was joining the scattered troops of the other four lords, as the "second encirclement" to surround the town - this army of hundreds of people was riding war horses, including four knights under Earl Owen who advanced to level 5, and an advanced third-level "elemental master" who came with Earl Durant followed the team, with an extremely powerful lineup.
Among the positions of the lords in the rear, more than 200 knights were wearing armor, eagerly preparing to join the "rounding up" of Roddy and others.
The doors of residents in the town are closed, and outside the town are slowly closing. Under such circumstances, the prelude of "group of cats and mice" is slowly opening...
*******
The rumbling sound of horse hooves whizzed outside the door, and the vibration of the ground caused waves of ripples in the water cup.
Su Lun picked up the cup and wanted to try to drink a few sips of cold water to calm her emotions, but her hand holding the cup couldn't stop trembling - this was not because of panic, but because the memories evoked by the sound of horse hooves made Su Lun angry...
Su Lun was not a cobbler who started his career as a "skin making" since childhood. When he was young, he was actually a mercenary.
Although the mercenary group where he was located was not of high level and the remuneration was not generous, Su Lun was very satisfied with his life at that time.
However, all the changes happened seven years ago... A flashing stone tablet discovered by Su Lun in the wild caused a murder to the entire mercenary group. If Su Lun had not been hiding in a crack in a rock that ordinary people could not detect, he would have been unable to escape the fate of being thrown into the wilderness because of his shortness.
Su Lun deeply remembered the emblem on the chests of those murderers, and later found out that this dirty plunder was led by Count Irving.
He tried to fight and take revenge, but as a powerless mercenary, the result of Sulun's heart is imagined. To this day, the edges and corners of his heart have long been smoothed out by cruel reality. Being a mediocre person may be a good result, but when he saw those knights who insulted him today, Sulun still could not calm the anger that had once been buried in his heart...
Do you have to continue to endure this way?
"boom--"
The burst sounded outside the door interrupted his memories. Su Lun raised his head and looked at the closed shop door with some confusion.
"On there! On there!"
"These damn trees! They can magic...get out of this street!"
"Earl Owen said that one person's head would give a gold coin, everyone must--ah!"
After a short scream, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded. Su Lun could clearly hear someone who seemed to have fallen from the roof of his shop to the ground. After a "thump" sound, there was no movement.
However, their conversation made Sulun frown: Could someone be fighting against Count Irving? Who is so bold?
