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 memory, things like "orc raid" would be accepted calmly by such a wic

"Dear Sally, according to plan, the
team should leave for Finks Village tomorrow but Uncle Smith who I am looking
for seems to be coming back tomorrow. In order not to delay the trip, why don’t
you go there with the team today?"
In the eyes of outsiders, the young Earl Francis always spoke to his sister Sally with politeness.
He had a pair of blue eyes and he looked really handsome. Although he was not wearing gorgeous clothes at this time, he still had an aristocratic atmosphere that ordinary people cannot have.
Sally stands in front of him, this year she was sixteen years old, and it was the golden age for girls to grow up. Her long blonde hair was extremely dazzling in the sun, her skin was very fair and there were no freckles that most children would have at this age. The egg-face, light grey linen dress was the same as the peasant women not far away but because of her slender figure, she had a different temperament.
Facing Francis's words, Sally who was beckoning to some children in the distance softly, "So, do I need to go to Finks Village today?"
"It seems like that. Uncle Smith has made this sword for me.” Francis took off his sword and stared at the excellently maintained sword body in the sun: “This is my first sword. It has been with me for more than ten years and it is a witness to the growth of my swordsmanship. "
"It is also time to thank this blacksmith. "Sally laughed with two lovely dimples at the corner of her mouth. “Don’t I need to be here with you? ”
From the outsider’s point of view, this was a very normal conversation between an innocent little girl and his brother, but maybe only Francis will notice the hidden cunningness in Sally’s eyes.
"Rest assured, I'm better suited to riding fast horses than you. Even if my father doesn't let me ride the carriage, I have to make you suffer too-speaking, I still have reservations about my father's decision." Francis laughed and shifted the topic that did not intend to answer positively.
In the end, Sally did not continue to question and casually told him to pay attention to safety and soon took five attendants and a maid on the way to the next village.
Francis looked at her sister's back, his eyes gradually narrowed and pursed his lips slightly.
Drooping his eyes, the young earl's face seemed to be faintly struggling, but he eventually gritted his teeth, took out a letter made of straw paper from his arms and tore it again after reading it again. Gently chanting a spell, summoned a small cluster of flames in the palm and slowly burned the grass sandpaper that only orcs.
In the distance, the girl riding the horse gently pulled the reins. It seemed to suddenly remind her of something and turned to ask a middle-aged guard next to him: "Uncle Gerson, how many years have you not seen an orc?"
With Sally going to Finks Village, there were also five guards and one maid. At this time, the guard Captain Gerson who was next to Sally should be regarded as one of the veterans watching the young girl growing up. Now his physical condition has passed its peak but the combat experience and insight were far better than anyone. After listening to Sally's question, Old Gerson thought about it and replied, "Should it be thirteen years? The last time I fought with these guys... I got scars on my knees and now it still hurts a little bit on rainy days. "
"It must hurt... I'm sorry to remind you of these things." Sally sincerely apologize and Gerson who was familiar with her, understood her kindness and would not refuse her apology, but curiously asked: "How did Miss Sally think about these things? Do you think the orcs will appear in the border villages?"
Sally shook her head but thoughtfully asked: " If-I mean if there are orcs attacking the village, do you think... the security forces in these villages are enough for them to defend? "
She still had slightly curious expression but no one could see the point behind her cold eyes.
"It's true that after leaving these villages, I really don't think they have this ability. The scouting system set up by Lord Duke here is not a combat team. They have no fighting power at all and can only be used for early warning and reporting… There will be no resistance at all when encountering orcs. "Old Gerson frowned. "Do you think there will be a danger? "
Having been together for so long, Gerson didn't look down on Sally because of her young age. In fact, after so many years with Sally, he was the best person to understand how good this child is. So just a two-sentence inquiry, he noticed an unusual hint.
"The location of Finks Village should be regarded as the most prominent the closest to the Cohen Fortress of the Orc Kingdom, right? I only thought of these questions."
For other girls of the same age, it can easily be estimated that no one will so clear where the Finks village is, not to mention the name of the orc empire fortress. However, Sally's words were peaceful and natural and she even took a few familiar names. During the conversation, her beautiful eyes looked back behind her, thoughtfully.
Old Gerson was a veteran. He didn't innocently think that war will always leave this country. His understanding of the orcs made him far experienced and understood whether the concerns in Sally's words were justified. So, he frowned and whispered, "Miss Sally ... do I need to send someone to contact the person in the Fortress of Conceden?"
Sally nodded, her eyes narrowing slightly into the distance.
"Should send someone to contact, but I hope the gate of the fortress will not refuse my request for asylum."
....
When the night fell, the starry sky disappeared and replaced by hazy mist. The silence was broken with the sound of horseshoes.
This may be the first time Roddy has shown some anxiety before these scouts.
It took only an hour from Nolan Village, 30 kilometers away and his mood changed drastically on the way because when he was outside the village, he learned from the mouths of the farmers around the village the news of Sally and Francis coming to the village.
So, all the questions and assumptions in Roddy's heart were almost perfectly matching at this time.
The tragedy in memory should be the same as tomorrow.
He couldn't help remembering the date stated in the orc letter-if the plan remained unchanged and a squadron of more than fifty orcs rushed over, the village really wouldn't even have the ability to resist.
At this point, there were not many options in front of Roddy. Ask the fortress for help? Perhaps Carter still holds such hope, but Roddy knows that it was too late.
He is familiar with the rules of the noble lords of the Karen Kingdom-if you want to pull a team from the fortress, no matter how many people, first you need a nobleman with a baron or above to prove his identity and intention and then he will get permission. After the fortress comes down, a round of conscription operations must be started, ranging from three days to a month... The normal process is still the same. If a scout in a border village runs to the fortress and says "military emergency, immediate support is needed", it is also absolutely impossible and of course, no one will answer.
What if the orc comes suddenly?
This kind of problem was not considered at all-"the war has passed and now is the era of peace"-everyone thought so.
So at this moment, Roddy looked at the village of Finks in front of him but his heart was complicated.
"In the end... it's still something like this ..."
A letter that he thought he had nothing to do with, after all, kept him busy again. Roddy took a deep breath, he turned to the scouts next to him and said, "After entering the village, immediately wake up the villagers from house to house, tell them to pack up immediately and tell them that they must evacuate here before midnight or else they and they will all die. Understand? "
" Yes! "
The soldiers on horseback were a little tired but they didn't dare to be negligent.
Roddy then gave Ruger his faked letter and asked him and Carter to give it to the second lieutenant of the scouting unit in the village, and let the other side cooperate. This scouting team also belonged to the Roussillon family. The letter written in the name of Lieutenant Sordin came in handy.
After the assignment of tasks is completed, the division of the team immediately began to act, scouts rushed to the whole village and started knocking on the doors from door to door, loudly notifying that the orcs’ upcoming. Roddy must do that, he didn't have time to argue with those who had objections, because even if he was finally convicted, blame could still, be pushed to Lieutenant Sordin.
Roddy himself rode directly to the manor in Finks Village. With a two-handed machete on his waist, a metal armor on his arms and a horn bow on his back, the image of Roddy was far more powerful than that of other scouts. If it was not for the emblem on his chest, ordinary people would never think that the person in front of them is a private soldier of the Lucifron family.
"An urgent letter from Anderson's housekeeper, something is happening!"
Roddy pretended to be panicked with his tone of urgency and the water he just poured on his face made him look like sweating. He raised his hands to show the letter while running towards the manor: "Just let me in, something very important is happening. It cannot be delayed and you cannot afford the responsibility!"
It was definitely not a joke. Several servants who did not dare to take responsibility hurriedly led him into the stone mansion's main house. The mansion housekeeper named Horl frowned deeply and his expression was not very pleasant.
Just because of this morning, a scout in Nolan Village came over and told him that the orcs were going to attack the village...
"Are you out of your mind?"
This was what the housekeeper said when he blasted the scout out. He was angry. After all, the scout formation was a private soldier of Lucifron. In terms of duties and obligations, they are cannot interfere with Lord Kirk. What happened at this time? What qualifications do you have to rush to Lord Kirk's estate?
So when he saw the insignia on Roddy's body, he was ready to say perfunctory things. He opened his mouth and said, "What do you have--"
But at this moment, another servant suddenly squeezed hurried into the room.
"Butler Horl, Miss Sally's team is here!"
This sentence made Roddy, who was about to speak, immediately lose his ability to speak-because he saw the Horl immediately take his eyes away from him turned around and walked out, completely ignoring him.
Obviously, compared to the children of the Duke, Roddy was not worthy of such a significant role. Roddy was thrown aside, and he couldn't say a word to help them transfer villagers...
The letter of Anderson was pinched in his hand and he couldn't even show it.
This bastard…
Roddy understands that his status can't be accepted by the leader of the family. He secretly scolded him but he was not angry. He turned around and urged Ruger and Carter to act quickly and organized to go and talk to Miss Sally to explain-after all, time is tight, as long as you can get the villagers out of the houses, the rest of the things can be pushed to completion.
But he never thought that when he turned around and ran out of the manor, he met someone who would never have thought he would meet...
In the eyes of outsiders, the young Earl Francis always spoke to his sister Sally with politeness.
He had a pair of blue eyes and he looked really handsome. Although he was not wearing gorgeous clothes at this time, he still had an aristocratic atmosphere that ordinary people cannot have.
