Demon Lord Chapter-21 "Once Hero"

    The torch was flaring. In the evenings of Finks Village, the villagers basically stayed at home. It didn't take long before the village’s 70% of houses received the notice, Roddy looked intently and found Ruger holding the torch and stepped forward.

    He narrowed his eyes, looked at the front with some doubt and could not help but swallow.

    Right in front of Ruger, a young man was talking seriously. The opponent was more than half a head taller than Luger, but his upper body was strong but not bloated. The sword was on the right, proving that he was left-handed. Wearing a second lieutenant badge on his chest, apparently the scout leader of Finks Village.

    At this moment he frowned and seemed unwilling to believe the content of the piece of parchment in front of Ruger, shaking his head frequently and shaking his hands, his face was a bit ugly.

    "I remember... Lieutenant Sordin doesn't seem to be able to write, right?" The youngster’s voice changed Ruger's expression.

    "We don't have more time to talk about this nonsense. If the villagers are not evacuated today, an orc squadron will wash the village with blood tomorrow. Would you like to see this ?!"

    Ruger was not stupid, he was actually very clear that the letter in his hand-forged by Roddy was not very convincing and he could only bluff and swindle and let the other party make a decision, to be honest, he doubted that the orcs assembled troops to attack a village of no strategic value, but remembering Roddy's serious face when he spoke, he finally chose to believe, but how the stupid big man in front of him seemed to see the flaw.

    It's really troublesome.

    Ruger was anxious to say something but then he saw Roddy stepping out of the manor. The young leader came to the people with a weird expression and seemed to see something hard to believe, frowning. Focusing on the lieutenant of the Finks Village, he finally hesitantly asked a few words-

    "Soderol?"

     The big man looked away, frowning, looking at the strange guy. Although not understanding why the person before him knew his name but he nodded and replied: "Yes I am, we met before?"

    Far more than seen.

    With an affirmative answer, Roddy was shocked-what came immediately, but with some sadness.

    In the game world before his rebirth, there were countless popular heroes in "Cracked Earth" and Soderol was one of the most dazzling heroes.

    He used to be the highest legionary commander of the insurgent army, a few powerful presences that broke through the advanced professional-level 60 or a legendary general with a battlefield victory rate of over 90%!

    But countless dazzling auras gradually faded after falling from the mean assassination. The rebels lost a general and were betrayed by "friends", and eventually fell.

    Roddy is a witness to the entire history and he has witnessed the whole process. But he couldn't think of anything. The former legend, at this moment, had similar to his status. Just a scout captain in a border town?

    If he hasn't been born again from that era, he is afraid no one would not believe it.

    "I—I've heard your name. I will introduce myself, I'm Roddy, the scout captain of Nolan Village... Lieutenant Sordin can’t come by himself because he was injured during the battle with the orcs, so we have rushed to come and report this information." He made up a lie casually, but thought about it, adding: "In the past three days, we killed more than 30 orcs and sneaked into a camp. The information came by accident because there was an orc who could speak Bringa Language."

    Roddy remembered the analysis and various introductions of the former legion leader on the forum. He knew that he was careful, so he quickly listed the evidence and reasons in a short time. Solving all doubts and cooperating with the other side.

    "Killing more than thirty orcs ...?"

    Soderol raised his eyebrows. Anyone who hears this news would be shocked, but apparently, he did not give up his vigilance at this time and he could even say that he was a bit suspicious.

    "Seven people were injured and suffered heavy losses, but fortunately the orcs lost even more." Roddy thought for a moment and immediately took out the grass paper in his hand, which truly wrote the enemy's attack time and gave it to Soderol without hesitation. "It was uncovered from orc camp."

    Does Soderol know these words?

    Perhaps even scouts in the entire Finks village will not know that Roddy's ability to identify orc characters was originally popularized by Soderol and Soderlor himself was the earliest military general to recognize orc characters. ——Roddy has reason to believe that even if Soderol is not as powerful and intelligent as he remembers, he must have his own way to judge some clues.

    "Letter?"

    Soderol took it. His first course of action was not to recognize the text but to rub the papyrus in the flames-pinching for a few seconds, then staring at the handwriting and comparing them with each other. Minutes later, the scout raised his brow slightly, but his face tightened... Raising his hand, he returned the letter to Roddy and asked directly: "I believe what you say, what do I need to do now? "

    There was a moment of silence in the scene, Ruger opened his mouth wide and did not conceal his shock because they all knew that the text of that letter was written in orc language... and for them, the orc text was completely an unreadable heavenly scripture!

    Now the other party just took a few glances and completely believed in Roddy's words.

    Sure enough, it’s because of this evil guy.

    Roddy was sighing with joy at the same time-although the current Soderol was only a young ensign. But in this case, he can still calmly analyze and make decisions...

    Roddy didn't want to have a bad relationship with this kind of guy. Later generations have also participated in several foreign wars organized by the other party. The general's blood and strength are well understood.

    At this point, Soderol decided to cooperate and Roddy did not arrogantly quit. He looked at the team that was about to enter the village in the distance and arranged his words: "The orcs will attack tomorrow, so our actions must be quick! "

    "Ruger" Ruger immediately straightened up and the sound of the impact from the heel of his boot was extremely sharp.

    "Let the team members continue to assist the villagers to leave. Don’t take extra stuff. There must be no one left here before midnight."

    "Yes!"

    He immediately turned around and trotted away, leaving only Roddy and Soderol ―Looking at this young man who he could only look up to once, now being only a second lieutenant rank, Roddy hesitated for half a second and solemnly performed the military salute and then said: "I'll convince the butler Horl and the Sally, but do not expect to be successful. So, if there is a dispute, try to keep your people from coming over. " Soderol narrowed his eyes, he stared down at the scout who he met for the first time in front of him. He finally nodded in silence, returned the military salute and turned towards his men.

    "

    “Huh," Roddy breathed.

    Even though Soderol did not have the decisive temperament of the future general, Roddy found himself unable to completely get rid of the "past".

    Looking around in the dim light, steward Horl was furious at several servants, because he finally found out that the villagers were collectively packing but the steward was anxious. He couldn't stop the Duke's daughter, Miss Sally, from riding on the horse to the manor.

    "Hello, Steward."

    The Duke's daughter, Sally, came to Horl gracefully. In the light reflected by the torch, she politely saluted and her eyes flashed slightly when she raised her head. “It seems a little unexpected but can you migrate the whole village by today? ”

    Her tone was just a simple inquiry, but steward seemed to feel the blame which made him feel cold and sweaty. He stuttered, “Miss Sally, I … This… the villagers seem—they… ”

    Horl couldn't say a full sentence for a long time, but at this moment, a voice that he absolutely didn't want to hear sound in his ears—

    “Nolan Village Scout Team 2 Captain Roddy, hoping to report a message to the respected Miss Sally. "

     The village, scout, captain. These three words only had the ability to talk to lowly ordinary people. From the perspective of Steward Horl of Finks Village, this unknown fool simply took him for the air...

    He was in a bad mood. It was already depressing and now he was interrupted at this time and immediately turned around angrily and shouted-

    "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to stand here and speak?! When will the scouts in Nolan Village need to report the situation here? You are overtaking! I will punish you with the strictest law!"

    Steward Horl didn't know that being so angry was tantamount to leaving Sally, who was supposed to speak, aside. But when he scolded him, he never thought... Roddy never looked at him from beginning to end but stared straight at the daughter of the Duke who had just dismounted.

    This was the first time that Roddy had seen the daughter of the old Duke who has died in history. In his imagination, this girl should be an innocent-looking, maybe a little naughty type of girl. At this time, the other person's face was really beautiful, but the inexplicable "victory in hand" momentum made him frown slightly.

    It seems that... there is something wrong.

    "Butler Horl, I think, I still have the right to decide if I should listen to the scout's report, right?"

    Sally noticed Roddy's gaze. She didn't seem to feel that the scout was rude.

    At this moment, Horl was like a duck that had been hit hard with a stick. With his mouth slightly open, his expression stupidly froze in the same place.

    The young Duke's daughter was polite and gentle and she knows both far and near but at this moment, the steward never thought that the words that rang in his ears would bring a sense of coldness that surprised him.

    For a moment, the icy Sally stopped paying attention to Horl, but instead turned her attention to Roddy-the slight curvature of the corner of her mouth disappeared, leaving only seriousness.

    "So, Captain Roddy, what news do you need to report?"
