It was already noon. After Roddy left the Duke's Mansion, he quickly rode his horse to the monastery. He was about to recruit priests with his reputation and respect, and then he was equivalent to the "auxiliary bishop" to recruit priests, but found that the church was extremely empty at this time.

A monk came forward to ask. After Roddy revealed his identity, he learned that the dean had personally rushed to the village where the plague occurred. There were only three priests in the monastery at this time, which was far from the expected number.

"Baron Roddy, the Bishop is expected to return in three days, and the Attorney of Cross will return tomorrow. He led the six priests to the village of Tas, and should now be on the way back."

Such news made Roddy frown because he had no time to wait for the other party to come back at this time.

Although I really want to solve the problem by myself, the conditions are really limited: the army that Soderol just started to build is still in Pal, and it takes three days to send a letter to come. The team that can be organized this afternoon is only the cavalry of the two knights of the Duke's Mansion...

Waiting for a day, maybe everything is easy to say, but the result may be that countless lives are in danger.

Faced with such a choice, Roddy did not hesitate much and immediately decided to continue this operation - a team of cavalry infected with the plague can be dispelled, while a city infected with the plague... but it is not that simple.

After rushing back from the monastery, Roddy walked into the Duke's Mansion and found that the two great knights had arrived. He immediately assigned a mission and said: "Although the assassination of the undead has not been successful, I do not guarantee whether they have a backup plan, so I and the Knights of Wellington and I looked for the source of the plague. The Knights of Titus stayed in the Duke's Mansion..."

"Here is the road map, Wellington Knights, our team needs to set off soon. Is ten minutes enough?"

“No problem.”

The tall ghost knight nodded and turned around to organize the team. Before Roddy could continue to say anything, a faint voice came from beside him: "I want to follow the team, too."

Roddy turned his head and found that Sally was standing next to him with her luggage on her back-the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly overcame the embarrassment and said sternly: "You can't go."

“There are not enough priests in the monastery, and the team needs the 'Ring of Purification' to ensure that they are not infected, I…”

Sally opened her mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Roddy's wave: "You must stay here. There is no discussion on this matter. No one can guarantee whether the undead will have a second assassination. I can't joke about your life."

He looked away and said in a deep voice: "The team... there will be other clergy to protect it, so you don't have to worry about this."

Then Roddy ignored Sally and directly explained the rest to the Knight Titus: "We will close the city gate immediately after we leave, and we cannot give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of."

"clear."

Titus looked at the two of them strangely. After Roddy left without looking back, he looked at Sally and found that she was pouting and gritting her teeth and whispering: "With other clergy protection... With her, you will start to rape me..."

I had a fight with Akasha, but at this time I was scolded by Rodie... She rubbed her slightly red eyes, felt so aggrieved in her heart, and wanted to rush up and beat that guy up. But after trying to calm down, she still did not chase after him willfully and asked to go together, but turned back to the mansion.

Titus scratched the back of his head and began to let his subordinates deploy defense. This time was a "special period", so most of the servants in the mansion began to restrict the area of ​​activity, and the only exception was the general butler John - under the order of the Duke, he came to the pigeon cage behind the mansion and sent three letters to Rubens, Benjamin and Ignaz's royal family.

"Mike, if you have time to clean the pigeon cage, the smell here is still a bit big."

John casually reminded the servant who was managing the dove cage.

"It's... sir."

The servant bowed his head and saluted respectfully, but John did not notice the other party's slightly strange gaze.

At the same time, Sally was stroking her back for her coughing father and whispering: "Rody doesn't want me to take risks anymore. He asked me to stay in the Duke's Mansion obediently, saying... I'll be safer."

She then added in a low voice: "I am not a child anymore, and I have never been afraid when facing pagans."

"You...Rody is right, but you still have to blame him." Duke Angma smiled, familiar with his daughter's "little emotions". "I heard from him. It's normal for you to have a little conflict. As long as you can talk to each other in the end."

Sally blinked her eyes, her heartbeat seemed to have missed several beats. She tried hard to suppress her inner tension and asked, "What did he say?"

"Rody? He said--it's all up to you."

The father's answer suddenly made Sally excited: Could it be that Roddy means...

"But you didn't think about what I said?"

Sally's cheeks suddenly turned red and her voice was like a mosquito, "The things you said are forbidden by the sect."

"It's just forbidden on the surface. There are many bishops with illegitimate children, and no one was dragged to the stolen rack to burn to death." Angma said, but his expression became a little depressed: "After all, it was all about me who did stupid things at the beginning..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Not being able to see the birth of the next generation of the family is probably Angma's biggest regret in her life. During this period, he always talked about Roddy with Sally, obviously hoping that the two of them would "get the right result" as soon as possible, and Sally has never responded positively to this, but at this time, holding her father's cold hands, she finally made a decision in her heart.

"Father, the Russifron family will never fall into ruin, I swear."

*******

Time passed, and as the sun was about to set, Roddy's team had left Hollier City and rushed towards the destination marked by him on the map.

The word "pollution source" is very vague, but Roddy, who has experienced the "plague", knows very well what it is and knows its specific location clearly - it is undeniable that this is his advantage of rebirth. After all, if he only relies on the clues obtained by Duke Angma, I am afraid that this team may not confirm where the "pollution source" is not necessarily drawn for a week.

At this time, they were like precise missiles, approaching the target with the shortest route. A team of more than 50 people rushed through the gradually dim forest path, raising a large area of ​​smoke and dust.

"Akasha, lighting!"

After Roddy finished speaking, the surrounding scenery was immediately illuminated by the "Holy Light Technique". The little priest maintained the magic technique and asked nervously: "Will we miss a possible goal?"

"I know it in my heart."

Roddy firmly believed that the "source of the plague" was next to the river at the junction of "Brig Village" and "Tas Village", so he led the team straight in and went into "Tas Village" for a short rest.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. Roddy looked at the village under the influence of the "Holy Light Technique", but for a moment he was a little dazed:

“This village…”

Then he remembered that Everta had not yet suffered from severe winter, the invasion of war and civil strife, and the scale of Tas Village was completely different from the dilapidated memory.

While the team was drinking horses, the soldiers who were exploring came over to report the news: "Mr. Roddy, the villagers said that the priest of the Rose Cross had come here and had dispersed treatment. A total of two died in the village, and more than one hundred people infected with the disease were in the recovery stage..."

"What?"

Roddy's voice did not hide his surprise at all. The plague once "Nine out of ten deaths" was definitely not an exaggeration, but the current situation...it seems to be inconsistent with the time!

But he had no room for hesitation to think. He looked up at the Wellington Knight next to him. Roddy waved his hand to signal the team to set off, and then said, "We must be prepared when we may contact the enemy later."

"Caval team, prepare for combat!"

Wellington raised his sword, and the knights immediately began to abandon their excess loads and began to move forward side by side.

*******

A kilometer away, the man in black robe who was pouring another bucket of green potion into the river suddenly raised his head and asked his companion beside him: "Hey, have you heard anything?"

"What's the matter? Are you thinking too much?"

The pale pharmacist next to him looked over his head and responded: "Anyway, our mission will only last until noon tomorrow. Now it's dark, who else will come here?"

"That's right, the potion has been poured out. Go and feed those 'sheep'."

"Is the corpse enough?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's enough or not. Anyway, Lord Wimblek told us to release the 'sheep' tomorrow... After the parliament's plan is completed, we just need to wait and see what's going on."

There was a little excitement during the conversation between the two, but not long after, there was a little doubt on their stiff faces at the same time-

"There is really a voice..."

"It's the sound of horse hooves, many people..."

Turning around, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the woodland under the dim moonlight.

And just as they hesitated, the "Holy Light Technique" instantly bloomed, causing the two undead pharmacists to involuntarily reach out to cover them.

"Is it a cavalry?"

"Damn it -- did these humans discover it?"

"Go and open the fence!"

The two of them were soon covered by the rumbling sound of horse hooves. They were stunned for a moment, and they and more than a dozen other undead rushed towards the dozens of wooden cages at the same time...

*******

And under the light, all the knights charging towards them clearly saw everything in front of them.

"It's true..."

Roddy's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go, everything in front of him was no different from what he remembered - he could even see the backs of the dead running away in panic.

"Akasha, keep the 'purification ring' at any time!"

"yes!"

The little priest's voice was quickly overwhelmed by the deafening sound of horse hooves after accelerating. Roddy held the battle axe in his hand tightly, narrowing his eyes, and stared at the figure ahead that was howling from the cage.
Chapter completed!
