Facing the captain, the soldier bent down to perform the rituals, but then his eyes were drooping respectfully, and he didn't even dare to look up and look directly. He presented a slightly wrinkled letter with both hands and said respectfully: "Captain Sally, the letter just came from the 'Temple'."

A white robe appeared in his sight, and the letter in his hand was taken away. Then a slightly cold voice sounded in his ears: "May the light shine on you, thank you for your hard work."

Although she has the title of "white sickle" on the battlefield, in the eyes of the soldiers, she is always a humble and low-key priest.

Sally's cheeks, which had lost a lot of weight, were no longer as pampered as she was at Everta. Her long platinum hair, which was once soft, has now been cut short with a dagger to make her ear-length short hair. This hairstyle also adds a hint of heroism to Sally's originally soft face.

Confidence, strength, and the faint sorrow that always exists between the eyebrows - all kinds of temperaments mixed together make Sally invisibly an unspeakable charm... as if the flowers that are struggling to grow and bloom between the rocks, her beauty has become restrained from being ostentatious, quiet and unique.

"The Bishop believes that it is time for a decisive battle. After the enemies in the Brier Forest are cleaned up, all teams will continue to advance at noon tomorrow. Arrival at the other end of the forest within two weeks. At the same time, it is expected that the decisive battle will be held in the area on the edge of the forest. The Knights Templars will come to support us..."

She simply told the content of the letter to the adjutant. Obviously, such news encouraged morale, but when Sally spoke the news again, she did not express much excitement.

"Today is the last day to rest. I'm ready to set off tomorrow and adjust my condition."

Sally folded the letter gently and put it elegantly into the battlefield notebook at hand. Because this action is confidential to the outside world, Sally, like all the soldiers, has cut off all communications from the outside world from the day she entered the jungle. Because of the special action, even Bishop Rubens's letters could not be conveyed to her, so the only thing she faces every day was a letter of mission arrangement from the "Temple".

Seeing Sally's expression of worry, the adjutant couldn't help but be confused. After thinking about it, he still asked, "Captain, are there some problems?"

The ordinary team would not have any doubts about the orders assigned by their superiors, but everyone in this team knew that they could survive until now because Sally had relied on her keen sense of smell and did not follow the orders several times. Bishop Moglani, who was in charge of the battle, did not go to the front line in person, so many times... he could not accurately grasp the details of the battlefield. For soldiers, sometimes "following the orders" became "seeking death."

"Starting a general attack and ending the battle as soon as possible is not a problem with this idea. According to the enemy's previous abilities, the 'Temple' has such a correct judgment and decision."

Sally's voice was faint, she turned her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, and continued, "But... the 'Viridian Cross' I know is not as weak as these guys."

The sentry and the adjutant looked at each other - the captain said that it was the first time he participated in this kind of battle, and his experience was not even richer than some veterans. Why do you say so?

Sally didn't explain much. What she thought at this moment was the scene where Gallup, the "snake teeth" showed strong strength in the Hallier City Square... Although she did not witness it with her own eyes because of Francis' attack, Bishop Benjamin later told her that if it weren't for Roddy's decisive arrow, even Bishop Rubens would have been unable to escape.

Compared with Gallup's powerful combat power, the enemies of Brill Forest are simply a group of rookies - even those guys who are called "strong enemies", in Sally's eyes, they still have no strength at all.

This situation is too abnormal, but the "Temple" may be difficult to detect, because Bishop Moglani is always commanding remotely, and the frequent good news cannot accurately tell the enemy's strength. Therefore, everyone agreed that... the enemy's strength is just like this, no matter how strong it is, it is not much stronger.

But it was hard for Sally to believe that a sect that could compete with the "Rose Cross" in the south of the Kingdom could not even be sent to the frontal battlefield.

"I think the enemy may not be as weak as it shows, but it is just my personal inference. The team will start as planned tomorrow, but our pace of progress... slows down a little."

Sally sighed, the general attack order could not be violated in the end. No matter whether the enemy is strong or weak, this action seemed to be cut off after leaving the Brill Forest.

*******

On April 29, Roddy finally returned to the capital city of Iversta, Hollier, after nearly half a year of leaving.

Since the battle on April 22, Roddy and Duke Angma had eight letters, and all the plans for the next day have begun to make arrangements - what should be done has been done, what should be done will continue to be done, and what should be done will continue to be “pretending to be dead” Roddy continued to keep a low profile, disguised herself, and led the mixed-race bastard and entered the city casually in the costume of a bard.

The banquet of Duke Angma has become the focus of all the nobles in the territory. Even civilians know that in two days the city will hold a feast of nobles - because there will be programs like "Martial Competition" and "Opera" for civilians to watch, so when walking on the streets, Roddy can always hear people discussing these things.

There are always tall carriages driving on the slightly spacious roads. There are quite a few nobles who came to Hollier City these days, obviously all for the upcoming banquet. Roddy looked at the aristocratic area with a strict mansion from afar, but did not choose to find Angma, but instead pulled up his hood and walked towards the "Campbe District".

It is not yet time for Roddy to appear, and going to the Duke's Mansion rashly often attracts the attention of the stareman, so Roddy directly chose to wait in the most inconspicuous slums and inquire about some information to see if further corrections are needed to be made to the next plan.

When passing by the monastery, Roddy could see some familiar or unfamiliar faces, but the figure who had already gone to the "Sanctuary" to study was no longer there - the scene was touched by the scene, and the towering church made Roddy inevitably remember every bit of things with Sally: the first time she was escorted back to Hollier City, blocked the assassin in front of the monastery gate, resolved Frances after the attack on the square, found out the undead traitor at the luncheon with Rubens, etc.

Sally's appearance of happiness, sadness or sorrow has long been imprinted in Roddy's mind.

Now looking at these familiar buildings, Roddy feels like "the right and wrong" - he feels that he is finally no longer looking at things "overly rationally", because such feelings are something he has never had before when playing games.

Everyone is changing, everyone will become a look that they have never thought about and even hated. The continuous battles and countless choices have made Roddy feel strange and incredible about the thoughts that appear occasionally.

However, when he saw the "Pig Head Bar" and the boss Hook who was still in the same shape behind the bar, he couldn't help but smile... In comparison, it is basically difficult for people who stay in the same place all their lives to change.

"Raphael? Hoho-man, it's really rare. Have you come back from a stroll in the north of the Kingdom?"

The moment he walked into the bar, Roddy was recognized by Hook - of course, this was not because he was too handsome, but because when Roddy was telling stories here, the bar's turnover increased three or four times more than before.

"It's not easy to walk around this lane, but I'm still safe to come back. I miss the smell of ale here, so I came here when I entered the city."

Roddy sat at the bar with a quick look, took out a few copper coins and handed them over, casually talking about the recent topics of Hollier City. Without saying a few words, he just talked about the topic of "banquet"-

"The situation is also critical. These nobles and masters are all uneasy. I heard that someone came with the guards. If you don't feel guilty, what kind of guards should you bring to Hollier City?"

Roddy drank ale in a small sip and listened to his ramblings with a smile, feeling like he was playing taxi in the imperial capital and listening to the driver discussing current affairs.

"I heard the mercenaries say that Wellington and the Knights of Titus have been suppressing bandits outside... Bah! What bandits are suppressing? Who doesn't know that these bandits are the means of stuttering the nobles? If Captain Roddy is here, where will they be their turn to play wild here?"

"Well--Captain Luo...Captain Di?"

Roddy choked on the ale and repeated it in surprise.

"Don't you know Captain Roddy? That's right, you were traveling north when he became famous..." Hook immediately began to talk about the plot of "Captain Roddy vs. Pagans" and "Bloody Fighting the Dead Ranger" - obviously, these are all the deeds that Roddy was made public at the time.

"Who is Magda? I heard that he was the most powerful subordinate of the undead monarch, but he was defeated by Captain Roddy's arrow! I heard that the two of them shot twenty arrows against each other before they could decide the outcome. That battle..."

"He is much stronger than Wellington Titus. With him here, how could those nobles dare to say a word? The 'Order' personally granted by the Pope is enough for them to drink a pot!"

Roddy didn't know what expression to face Hook, so he had to drink... This was the first time he heard the civilians in this city evaluate him, and he felt very strange: he wanted to laugh, he was a little silent, but more, he remembered the words Carter had said to him.

The soldiers were eager to be recognized by people. Roddy did not understand this psychology very much before, but after he personally experienced it, he fully understood what such desire meant.

However, this mood was fleeting, because Hook soon said with regret: "Hey, it's a pity that such a young man who can become the pillar died young in the end!"

"puff--"
