Although Roddy wandered alone around the continent before crossing, but he was known by countless people. Miss Sally in front of him was young and obviously not yet an adult. But just a few words made Roddy understand that the other party was definitely not a naive and simple girl. It can even be said that the other party's behaviour can already be called a standard aristocrat-the kind that is clever, greedy and not willing to suffer a loss. Speaking of which, including Soderol, it was indeed a headache for Roddy to meet two such smart people one after another. He didn't like the feeling that things couldn't be controlled in his own hands, but in this vast world, he was not the only one who thought he was clever. In the face of Sally's problem, Roddy quickly recited what he had said to Soderol before and waited for other's response. Speaking of which, in his memor...

Roddy and Carter walked straight into Sordin's
room, but then found that the officer in front of him was not looking very
good.
Usually, this expression meant that the two scout teams will not have a good life for the next three days. Sordin can be regarded as a standard "bag of rice”: not capable, bad-tempered, gluttonous and lazy.
In the memory of "Roddy", this guy was the only advantage of his father's identity as a knight retinue, so that he now has such a flimsy military rank. Although he has a military rank, he can only be called a mixed army.
Everyone knows that when Sordin’s father died on the battlefield, he was only eight years old. Two years later his mother also died… The family conditions didn't allow Sordin to learn how to fight. But in the end, because of his high-spirited and hard-working character, he reached this position.
Sordin was originally prepared to rely on a sack orc's head to prepare for the invitation yesterday, but after thinking about it, he felt that these things did not seem to be enough for his own promotion. At this the point, Sordin was angry with Carter and others did not kill a few more orcs yesterday and had nowhere to vent-but when he saw another bunch of orc heads in Carter's hands, his eyes suddenly lighted up, and his bad mood suddenly turned 180 degrees, and asked in surprise: "You have killed so many orcs again!"
"Yes, sir, this is the corpse of eight orc wolf cavalry, we-"
Carter wanted to continue talking, but as if Sordin had no intention of waiting for his nonsense, completely disregarding the bloody smell, he rushed over and grabbed a bunch of heads, and patted Carter on the shoulder with a smile: "One two Three ... eight? I didn’t know you were so powerful before, or these orcs really so vulnerable? "
Of course, Sordin, who had never been on the battlefield, did not understand the sinister nature of this battle and what occurred to Carter's mentality at this moment. This change of heart, couldn’t help but give birth to a kind of disgust towards Sordin who was in front of them-not only disgusted with Sordin's undisguised greed, but also a little disgusted with himself who was similar to this person before.
"This was an eight-orc-wolf-cavalry, sir." Carter did not respond as charmingly as before but revealed a slight alienation. "We found an orc camp in the northwest and encountered their pursuit. But in the end, these wolf cavalries were solved by us— "
"Good job! "
Sordin was completely unaware of the importance of the information in Carter's discourse just now. His mind at the moment was only thinking about how many silver coins and military power these orcs could he exchange with. A few words of compliments blocked Carter's words and even signaled that Carter could retreat, but as for Roddy-he didn't even see him from beginning to end.
Carter was feeling awkward.
He admits that he is not very capable and admits that he likes to talk about things and sometimes even feels complacent about his good relationships. But at this moment, he felt that he used to be flattering like Sordin, as a result, which now made him feel sick.
He has a low-born, but it does not mean that he is an ungrateful man. He came here with Roddy because he had recognized Roddy's efforts and status in his heart. Today's battle can no longer only prove Roddy's ability, presumably makes him a leader, far more suitable than himself.
But to Carter, this piece of shit didn't even have any idea of the importance of the message of "discovering an orc camp"!
Carter was still worried about whether the noble lords would ignore the news as Roddy said, but now it seems that let alone the nobles, even this Second Lieutenant seems to have no brain to take care of this important battle report.
He turned to look at Roddy but found that the young man didn't feel anxious or angry but shook his head with his eyes lowered-Carter sighed helplessly. The two didn't say anything, left together, leaving Sordin alone. People looked at the heads of the orcs and were excited whether Ruger would be promoted to First Lieutenant.
"I didn't expect-huh ..." As he walked outside, Carter wanted to smile bitterly but found that his voice was very dry and what he wanted to say finally turned into a sigh.
"The Karen Kingdom has gone through peace for too long and people are unwilling to face war and even prefer to deceive themselves when the war is approaching. This is normal."
Roddy remembered the time when the "cracked soil" was in service a year later. The missions of the Karen Kingdom Novice The village, the information reflected in it shows that even when the orcs are raging on the border, no one in the Karen kingdom will believe that the orcs will really invade because the agreement signed after the kingdom repelled the orcs stated that the orcs should not be allowed to enter the kingdom of Karen. These people naively believed that these orcs would never tear the agreement...
It turns out, any war is an outbreak of cumulative contradictions. The so-called "fuses" are just small things that are not worth mentioning, because they always happen, just like people fighting each other because of quarrels. Roddy understood the consequences of the orcs' invasion, but he could not now declare to the world that this would happen.
Who would take a scout’s “Guess” seriously?
Carter returned to the village in silence with Roddy, and today's mission is over. The scout team was not as strict as the cavalry regiment or the elite establishment of Houllier City. The soldiers are basically relatively leisurely. The only recreational activity other than eating and sleeping was to patrol the border every day. The soldiers were poor, they could not win or lose a few copper coins. They were poor and remote. They didn’t want to go to a brothel, because this is the village of Lord Kirk. If they don’t want to lose their jobs, no one would dare to bully any male and female.

If they don’t want to lose their jobs, no one would dare to bully any male and female.
It's just that these soldiers who used to appear to have nowhere to vent their energy were silent and scary today. When Carter and Roddy entered the eating shed, the scouts of the second team stood up collectively, as if waiting for news.
"You guys ... I have something to say today."
Carter had no leadership style, even his current position was not even a high-ranking person but at this moment, the two teams of thirteen scouts’ eyes standing in front of him turned to him.
This did not bring any sense of vanity but made his heart more bitter. His eyes dropped slightly and his voice was a bit dry: "Our group of scouts eating mixed meals are all struggling to earn this meager pay. No one is nobler than anyone else. Today... we killed a team of orc wolf cavalry. Many people may not understand what this means, but I remember clearly who led the brothers of our second team alive from that situation."
"Lieutenant Sordin thought the orcs were not a threat and he didn't even bother to hear the news about the camp. But... but I believe what Roddy said."
"That's an orc... that's not a human! These orcs will sooner or later stretch their fangs towards Nolan Village and even Hollier..." Carter lowered his head slowly and took off the scout captain's badge on his chest looked up and looked at the comrades in front of him: "Nothing else to say, Roddy led us to victory and led us to make the right decision, I think he can do the same again."
Turning around, Carter tucked his captain badge in front of Roddy's chest, he immediately stood up and performed a very serious military salute.
Everyone understood this is a series of actions. But seeing Carter resolutely make such a decision, Roddy was also very impressed.
Roddy was a modern man. Concepts such as "the capable one" and "resigning to the wise" are, after all, far more advanced than the "fractured" medieval feudal society. He couldn't fully understand what Carter had given up when he did so, but he just felt it instinctively... it was not easy to let a person who could only be in the bottom of his life to give up the few powers in his hands.
More than a dozen soldiers who looked at Roddy and Carter was collectively silent for a while, but there was no objection. Ruger, who was sitting in the corner, probably understood what happened. He sighed helplessly and asked: "Can you explain it to us? "
His words were already very polite words. When did Ruger ever treat Carter or Roddy so much? But no matter what a fat meal Roddy gave him today or the biggest victory of the scout team in the past decade, it is of unspeakable significance to the veteran Ruger.
Unlike Carter, Ruger was not a rookie, nor was Lieutenant Sordin. In a way, he was the only veteran in Nolan Village who had seen the power of wolf cavalry.
So no matter how much contradiction Roddy had with him before, in the face of the threat of the orcs, they must not fall out with each other.
Ruger was the captain of a team of scouts. He has always been in a state of contradiction with the captain of the second team. He looks down on the naive young people, but after hearing Carter's words, his pair of historically sharp and unconvinced eyes turned to look at Roddy, it was no surprise, more, but it was a firm look.
Ruger, who had bruises on his face, had a big temper, but it also proved that he had a straight-going character-"You killed eight wolf cavalry? No loss?"
Carter understood that the conflict between the two people this morning may not be easy to dispel. Then, he explained in detail the entire course of today's battle, and after a few words, the way all scouts looked at Roddy's eyes seemed to have taken some chances.
Even Ruger was at loss. He seemed to think of something. His tight lips and closed eyes explained that the memory was probably the pain of his life...
When he opened his eyes again, his face seemed to be a little hesitant than ever, looking at Carter he whispering, "What did the guy Sordin say?"
"He? He patronized how many military exploits can be changed for those heads."
Carter snorted, the surrounding scouts could not help but be a little angry and unwilling.
"The problem we are facing now is ... the orcs are building a camp 30 kilometers away. If they are allowed to set up the outpost, I am afraid that the village of Nolan will face those animal attacks sooner or later." He was a little angry, "Roddy gave these inferences. I didn't want to believe it at first, but now it seems ... I have no choice."
Carter's initiative to "giving up post to a more qualified person" was not anticipated by Roddy. In fact, he has already begun to use various methods to get the captain's position. If Ruger dares to disagree, he will also find opportunities to convince the other party completely. But now it seems that the reactions of these two people are much better than he thought. It is not difficult to achieve the next plan ...
For his own purposes, Roddy said with hesitation and said in a serious tone: "No specific order was given, so our mission continues…"
After hearing this, the scouts seemed relieved, but the faint expectations followed, but Roddy's next sentence made them jump up-
"I just hope ... tomorrow, we can seize the opportunity to be able to impact the orc camp."
