The three of them in the Ducal Palace's study didn't know that Magda was in a much more miserable state than they had imagined.
"Bang!"
The sound of a fist hitting a body was quickly drowned out by the chirping of birds and insects in the forest.
"Where is Kiger Town?"
When the cold voice came out of Magda's mouth, the hunter who had three of his ribs broken immediately shivered. He had never seen an undead before and was scared silly by the fear of death. He immediately spilled everything he knew ….
"That's all?"
After the hunter finished speaking, Magda's burnt face slightly lowered, and his grey pupils glanced at the defenseless human in front of him. His armless body suddenly twisted, and his right fist fiercely smashed into the hunter's face. This heavy blow almost blew his head off!
"Crack!"
The neck bone snapped, and the corpse fell to the ground with a "plop". Magda, whose face was covered in blood, scanned the surroundings with a sinister gaze. Her malevolent face revealed an indescribable hostility as she walked towards the northwest direction.
The [Blighter] had completely lost his calm and arrogant demeanor. His left shoulder was bald, and there were even three arrowheads stuck in his back that he couldn't pull out with his right hand … For hundreds of years, Magda had never imagined that he would be in such a sorry state, and all of this was because of that damned human!
Why? Why? Why?
Why did he lose to such a lowly trick! Why was that human so weak that he could not even withstand a single blow? Why was he able to obstruct and even restrain him at critical moments?!
Even though he had successfully escaped from the search circle, Magda couldn't feel any joy in his heart. The only thing he felt right now was deep humiliation.
Maybe Angmar and Rubens didn't have much of an idea, but Magda himself knew … With the power of him, Derby, and the entire assassin team, it would be a piece of cake to deal with more than 90% of the nobles in the Kingdom of Karen!
But the cruel reality was right in front of him: The originally simple mission, all because of that damned human ranger, caused the death of Derby and 32 assassins, and also caused him to lose his ability to fight …
It was normal for a lion to lose to another lion, but to be flipped over and stepped on by a rabbit, this was definitely an indescribable humiliation!
"… I will definitely make you pay with your blood …"
Although he didn't feel any pain, and the wound wasn't fatal, losing his left arm meant that he lost 90% of his combat power. But he could only choose to accept this humiliation.
Now, not to mention Rody, Sodelor might even be able to fight him head-on. The only way the vengeful Magda could think of was to find the pharmacist Anzadin, who was about to arrive in Keg Town in December, and ask him to reconstruct her body!
As long as his body recovered, he would definitely wash Hollier City in blood, and let these damned insects perish under his wrath!
Magda swore a venomous oath in a low voice. Although she was furious in her heart, she could only walk slowly through the forest, cursing to vent the hatred in her heart …
*****
"To deal with Magda … I might have some ideas."
At the same time, in the Ducal Palace, Roddy put down Derby's secret letter and slowly said, "If there are enough resources and manpower for me to use, maybe I can solve this problem."
If it wasn't for yesterday's battle, probably no one would believe Roddy's words. But after witnessing Roddy's powerful combat power, Rubens and Angmar didn't doubt the authenticity of his words at all.
"A ranger who can't use a bow is basically useless. Magda now has no combat power to speak of. If it was a direct confrontation, even Knight Wellington could easily behead him — "Roddy walked to a map of Eiffta's territory on the wall of the study, raised his hand and pointed to the location of Gightown," According to the contents of this letter, I can be sure … he will go find Ansadin. "
"Since we know his purpose, there will eventually be clues. With clues, we can follow the vines to the melon and proceed to the next step of the plan. " Roddy paused and raised the ring in his hand, "I can identify the undead hidden in the crowd, and if everything is coordinated properly, with a suitable plan, maybe we can kill more than just Magda, and even more likely find the guy who made the potion!"
This sentence made the Dukes Of Angmar's heart tremble, followed by some excitement — the "Soul Extraction Potion" almost destroyed his entire family, he didn't expect to have the opportunity to take revenge so soon … So when he heard Roddy's introduction, he immediately replied, "As long as it can be done, I will give you as many resources as you want."
As the highest leader of Eiffta, the answer given by the Dukes Of Angmar could be said to be full of courage.
Roddy nodded solemnly, then briefly explained some general plans and his judgment of the undead, which was considered as accepting this extremely "tricky" task.
The discussion in the study came to an end at this point. The two old men already had a deep understanding of Roddy's capabilities, and now that he was on the case, they felt that it was more reliable than sending someone else. But after coming to this conclusion, Angmar and Rubens were puzzled at the same time:
What was this kid thinking?
He was so powerful, and had done so many earth-shattering things, but he didn't even want the title of nobility, and would rather continue to be a soldier?
Facing that powerful undead that escaped, he was the first to take on the burden … Could it be that he didn't have any other plans?
Angmar's attitude towards Roddy was admiring, but after learning about some of Roddy's past deeds from Sodelor and the others in the morning, he felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a little too "extreme" on some issues.
When it came to the Orcs, Roddy had a resolute attitude of killing them one by one, and when it came to the undead, he had never thought of any other way to deal with it. There was only one word to say: kill!
This was not "wrong", but such a "way of thinking" was not suitable for Angmar — in the eyes of the nobles, the purpose of "war" was never to kill, but always to continue politics.
Although the feudal ruling system of the nobles in the Kingdom of Karen was increasingly corrupt and extravagant, this ruling structure had been continued since 600 years ago. Although there were more and more conflicts between the lords every year, there had never been a case of the kingdom being militaristic for years on end. Only when there was no other choice would the nobles send out troops to fight. Otherwise, no one would provoke a war at will.
Sometimes, Ankama even felt that if the orcs were to invade the kingdom one day, the nobles would definitely recruit soldiers and act as if they were going to fight. At the same time, they would also need to negotiate with the orcs about how much to give before they would stop …
It sounded ridiculous, but this was the reality of the Kingdom of Karen. Angmar was not a nationalistic youth. Being in a high position, his way of thinking must be this "mainstream" route, so it was hard for him to understand now … What was the reason that made Roddy have such an extreme way of thinking and doing things?
What was his ultimate goal?
The study room was silent. Rubens and Angmar glanced at the map, but in fact, they were also waiting for Roddy to give some explanation —
What about Roddy? He stood in front of the map, his eyes sweeping across the northwest of Eiferta's territory. He seemed to be thinking about something, but in fact, he was trying hard to control the "heat."
The direction of the conversation had been completely dominated by him, and what Roddy had to do next was to fully implement the plan he had thought of before, with this momentum …
After waiting for three minutes, when the atmosphere was at its limit, Roddy finally broke the silence, "I know Lord Duke's doubts, and I can give you the answer now."
The two old men looked over, thinking that Roddy would give some reason that they had already expected, but as shrewd as they were, their expressions changed when they heard what Roddy said next —
"My answer is very simple: If an army of six thousand Orcs suddenly came from the other side of the Nehemiah Plains, what would happen to Eiferta's territory?"
This sentence sounded completely different from the answer that Angmar and Rubens had expected. Rubens was completely stunned, while Angmar immediately thought of a possibility the moment he frowned slightly — the Superintendent at the side was not slow to react. He narrowed his eyes and exchanged glances with Duke, vaguely guessing something …
Roddy was trying so hard to find an opportunity to use the power of the Lucifron Family, it was probably not just to seek to become a small lord.
Angmar's thoughts turned quickly, almost connecting all the things that Roddy had done in the past with this sentence —
"You mean … the Orcs might attack the Kingdom?"
"That's impossible …"
"Nonsense."
Rubens and Angmar immediately gave similar answers — such a question, perhaps no one in the entire Kingdom had ever thought of it, or even if they had thought of it, no one would really treat it as a topic worth studying or thinking about.
In the eyes of the nobles and citizens of the Kingdom of Karen, an "Orc Invasion" was completely impossible.
How could they bring their supplies across such a long distance from the plains? The supply lines could not be opened in the plains at all!
This group of green-skinned barbarians did not have a so-called army at all. Back then, Emperor Konen killed them and drove them hundreds of miles away. This group of barbarians lived like livestock on the plains. They did not even have a written language, they were practically beasts that drank blood and ate raw meat. Would they dare to attack the Kingdom? What a joke!
"I have never thought that it was possible, but if you are willing to listen to my experience in the past six months, it is not too late to judge for yourselves."
What Rody wanted was for them to have an attitude of 'disbelief'. That was the only way for the two elders to realize how serious the problem was.
