There was a reason for the Dukes Of Angmar's excitement. Not only did he know the name "Hammer of Rohar", but he also had a "connection" with the Hammer of Rohar.
In the thirty years that Angmar had been in power, the civilians of Eifferton had been harassed by the Orcs. Angmar had once ordered his soldiers to resist, but it had little effect. Situations like Ruger's, where the whole team was almost annihilated could be seen everywhere. Such a shocking number of battles had dealt a heavy blow to the Lucifron Family. In the end, they even lost their morale and did not dare to confront the Orcs head-on.
To the Dukes Of Angmar, this was an absolute humiliation.
The warg on the family emblem originally represented the illustrious achievements of Lucifron's first ancestor in the battle against the beastmen. In the end, in this generation, he was chased around like a dog by the 'Hammer of Lohar'. How could he not be angry? So, since ten years ago, Angmar had sworn to collect this debt from the Orcs. But after encountering the undead, this oath had been completely forgotten.
But now, everything that Roddy had said made him lose control of his heart. Because Roddy's action was equivalent to directly washing away the humiliation that the Orcs had brought to this family! And he had stepped on the Orc's foot!
"Good — good!"
The two "good" in a row was enough to prove the excitement of the Dukes Of Angmar. He would not suspect that Roddy was making up a story to scare him, because there was no need for that. His cheeks were slightly flushed, obviously a symptom of blood rushing to his head. But such emotions were quickly suppressed, and his voice became calm again. "Continue … You killed the witch doctor?"
"That's the problem …" Roddy recalled the history that originally belonged to another time and space and said in a low voice, "The wisdom and leadership shown by the witch doctor far exceeded that of his chief. He also showed great intention to invade the Kingdom of Karen. The outpost outside Norland Village that I led the team to eradicate is enough to prove this problem. He also promised Francis a lot of benefits and promised to give him the right to use at least five hundred wolf riders to 'expand the territory' …"
These words were all asked by Francis. Francis, who had his wrist chopped off back then, had revealed all the conditions that Sarota had promised him. Now, when Angma heard this information, his fiery heart instantly turned cold, as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over it.
"Actually negotiating with the Orcs, it's really …"
He shook his head and sighed. There were some things that he could not let go of in his heart, but at this moment, they had finally completely dispersed. His original thought for this son was still very optimistic. Even if he did not inherit the position of the feudal lord, at least he could be of some use. But now, it seemed that his previous plan was still a little naive. To put it bluntly, if Roddy had not done so many things, perhaps Eiffta's territory would have been completely conquered by the Orcs in no time!
As for Sally who was eavesdropping at the side, it was also the first time she heard about the "deal" between Francis and Sarota. Such a shocking thing immediately made some of her original "guilt" completely disappear. She only felt that the knot in her heart seemed to have completely disappeared with the "secret" that Roddy revealed.
In the parlor, the discussion between Roddy and the Dukes Of Angmar was still going on. But after that, it was the two knights who could not hold back their curiosity and asked a lot of questions about his journey in the Orc Kingdom. Regarding these questions, Roddy did not tell them all. He only vaguely brushed over many parts. After all, he could not explain clearly how he knew so much about the Orc Kingdom. He could only attribute this smooth journey to the enemy's carelessness and ignorance.
As for how much the two knights and Duke believed, Roddy did not care. After all, both parties were already on the same side. They should share the resources that should be shared. There was no need for him to take out his "private goods" and explain it so clearly.
After talking for a long time, Angmar felt that there was no need for Roddy to say so much at once. So, he appropriately changed the topic. He raised his head and looked around. Puzzled, he asked, "By the way, why is Sally not here yet?"
"This lass, she's probably still angry …" Changing the topic, Duke looked at Roddy with a faint smile. "Roddy, Sally seems to treat you … differently than she treats others."
Not far away, Sally, who had overheard everything, instantly blushed. She wanted to stand up and interrupt her father's straightforward question, but she was curious about how Roddy would answer. She bit her lips and finally decided to prick her ears and continue to eavesdrop with full concentration.
"Miss Sally, she … Ahem, I think it might be because I happened to see her in a crisis a few times or something —"
After thinking for a long time in his mind, he thought of the phrase "speak too much and make mistakes" and immediately used a "jack of all trades" style to answer, "She's a good girl. En … I think so."
Fortunately, there was no such thing as a "good person card" in this era. Otherwise, Sally, who was eavesdropping at this time, would probably immediately go berserk.
"Heh … I won't ask too much about the matters of young people. But you have to understand, she will definitely be the lord of Eiferta's territory in the future."
Angmar did not care what Roddy thought. No matter how outstanding he was, a life-saving grace was a life-saving grace. Even if he wanted to repay the kindness, he would never choose to "give" his daughter away, not to mention that he only had one precious daughter left …
"I understand this, I understand …"
Roddy nodded brainlessly. In his heart, he thought that old man really misunderstood. However, he could not show any other expression on his face and could only grin foolishly.
"Roddy, you can stay in the Ducal Palace for the next few days. No matter what, the Lucifron Family will treat you as their most important friend. I can guarantee this." Seeing that it was almost time, Angmar gestured for Roddy to rest in the mansion. "As for the undead … let's talk about those things at night. How about it?"
"No problem."
Roddy nodded and then raised his first request since coming here, "The scouts are still in Cambay District. I think if it's possible …"
"They are all heroes of the Lucifron Family and are also the pride of them." Angmar waved his hand and said with a smile, "To charge into the Orc Kingdom and escape unscathed, I can only dream about it. But now, you guys have really done it … No one is to be absent during the banquet!"
This was a completely approving attitude. It was obvious that the Dukes Of Angmar was in a good mood. Roddy was also relieved after hearing this. Then, he followed the maid to the room to rest. However, just as he walked out of the guest hall, he saw a skirt disappearing at the end of the corridor …
It was not difficult for Roddy to guess that it was Sally who left in a hurry. But at this moment, he was very puzzled … Why did she run?
*****
In the evening, "Rose Cross" Monastery.
Vicar Rubens had returned here and was busy almost the entire afternoon. He had to copy several reports about the "undead" to send to his superior, Cardinal Cade, and the archbishops of several other dioceses. Because of the long hours of work, when he finally finished writing the letters, he could not help but feel dizzy from old age. He sat on the chair for a long time and released a "Soul-Awakening Spell" to gradually recover.
"I'm still old …"
Shaking his head, he recalled everything that happened in the afternoon and could not help but feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, all of this only happened in the dining hall. If Benjamin or any of the priests had followed him there, he was afraid that this kind of thing would soon become a laughing stock among his colleagues in the "Holy Cathedral".
Looking up at the window, he realized that it was already evening. He got up and was about to take a walk outside when he bumped into Benjamin who was walking in from outside.
"Quite a lot of things to do?"
"Most of the arrangements have been made. I just came back from the city square to confirm if there are enough troops for the next speech."
Benjamin's face was full of tiredness. He picked up the cup of water on the table and gulped down half of it. He looked very tired.
"There should be no problem with the speech on the 25th. It's just that Akasha was still not found. It's a pity after all …" Rubens sighed and threw the insignificant pagan priest out of his mind. He changed the topic and said, "Oh yes, I heard something in the Ducal Palace at noon. It's related to the undead. Send these letters later. There are a lot of things involved, so it must be done as soon as possible."
What happened in the Ducal Palace? Of course, Rubens would not tell him in detail. At this time, he saw that Benjamin was quite tired, so he sat down and asked, "Oh yes, you told me in the morning that you found the archer. I didn't have time to talk about it later. Do you have time to talk to me about it now?"
"Him …"
Benjamin exhaled and took another sip of water. A trace of a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "This guy is very powerful. Some time ago, Sally was almost assassinated in the monastery. If not for him, I'm afraid I would not have the face to see you …"
"There's such a thing?"
Rubens raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest. After that, Benjamin told in detail everything that happened that day. He did not exaggerate. After listening to it, the Superintendent felt that this person did indeed have some means and courage. In addition to the accurate archery that he displayed in the square, if he were to be introduced into the "Holy Cathedral", he would probably be able to hold a high position.
"Then who is this guy? Where is he now? "
The Superintendent was thinking about how to get in touch with Benjamin. When he asked this question, he had even begun to draw up a reward for Benjamin.
"He … Speaking of which, his identity is a little strange." Benjamin sighed. "After doing so many things, can you believe that he's just the leader of a small scout team?"
"The … captain of the Scout Team?"
Rubens turned his head, and his expression suddenly became very strange. "Then … He, what is his name?"
"Roddy, the captain of the Lucifron Family's Scout Team in Norland Village. According to his military rank, he should be a second lieutenant. He … Rubens? Rubens? "
