Ever since Rody joined the battlefield, he had been in the midst of explosions and fierce fighting. His face was covered in soot and dirt, and he had no image to speak of. Half of his brand-new priest robe was still hanging on his body. His arms and upper body were charred black due to Goethe's' Shadow Shock '. His hair was also a mess.
Since he left Hollier a few days ago, Roddy's stubble was messy and dusty. He really looked like a "weird uncle" in his thirties.
Rody had imagined countless scenarios in which he would meet Naifei again. Perhaps he would be successful, wearing a set of cool equipment, or wearing a bard's white robe. Every time he imagined it, Rody would feel the nervousness and longing of first love. However, he did not expect that he would 'meet' the girl he liked in such a terrible state.
However, as long as Naifei could survive, it did not matter if Rody's image was ten times worse.
"Uncle? Does your hand hurt? "
However, no matter what Roddy thought, in Naifei's eyes, he was just a strange and tough uncle. Women don't look good when they cry, and men look even worse when they cry. This uncle in front of her was so strong that he didn't look like a human, but now he looked so weak. Naifei was too young to understand how much joy and sorrow he had in his expression.
"I'm … I'm fine." Roddy took a deep breath and looked at the crumbling room next to Naifei. He stretched out his hand and said, "It's dangerous over there. Can you come here first?"
After saying that, he realized that his arm was scorched. He immediately withdrew his hand and squeezed out a smile. "My name is Roddy. I mean no harm."
He was a little nervous, just like the first time he met Lady Camilla.
"I know you mean no harm, uncle. My name is Camilla."
Naifei came out from behind the wall. Her face was a little pale. After all, the battlefield was full of blood and corpses. It was an indescribable shock to her. Naifei took a few steps forward and walked towards Rody's side. She then said, "Big Sister!"
Only then did Roddy realize that Sally was already behind him.
He turned around and found that she, who was once incomparably weak, now had the ability to control the battlefield. Looking at her face carefully, Roddy felt that she had undergone a tremendous change compared to before.
After her long blonde hair was cut short, Sally had a heroic spirit that she had never had before. The stubbornness and strength between her eyebrows were stronger than before. The melancholy that had always shrouded her in the past had been swept away. Holding the scepter in her hand, she made Roddy feel like a goddess who had experienced countless hardships in the wind and rain. She had an indescribable charm.
However, before he could think any further, he found Sally opening her arms and fiercely throwing herself into his embrace …
Greedily smelling the familiar scent on Roddy's body and listening to his powerful heartbeat, Sally tightened her arms, fearing that he would suddenly disappear in the next moment.
"You bastard …"
Sally pounded her fist on Roddy's back and cried out, "Why did I ask you to go to the Snow Mountain? I asked you to find the undead! I asked you to lie to me! "
Roddy coughed after being pounded, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated … He had just seen the woman he liked … Oh no, the girl … But in the blink of an eye, he was hugged tightly by another beauty. This …
He was thinking about how to pursue Naifei in the future, but when he saw that Naifei was still a little girl who had never experienced the world, he suddenly felt that it was no different from "committing a crime" to have this kind of thought.
She seemed to be less than fourteen years old?
Roddy swallowed his saliva and was a little confused for a moment. Years later, the mischievous Naifei would always be in his dreams, but looking at the little girl who was looking at him with a face full of curiosity, he felt very uncomfortable.
Although they were the same person, history had completely changed. When she gradually grew up, would she be willing to accept a completely different image of herself from the past?
The huge confusion made Roddy's head suddenly chaotic.
"Stupid blockhead, why don't you say something …"
Sally took half a step back from Roddy's arms and grabbed his hand to check the half healed wound. After confirming that he was fine, she intimately wiped his cheek with the sleeve of her robe. Then she remembered that she was a priest and a "captain". She blushed a little and looked around. She hurriedly cast a few healing spells and a shield to cover up her slight guilt.
Love was not allowed in the church.
But after confirming that no one was looking at her, she let out a sigh of relief. She remembered that she had not introduced herself to the little girl who saved her life, so she said gratefully, "Thank you for your help just now, Camilla. My name is Sally, the priest of 'Rose Cross'. If it wasn't for you, perhaps we would have completely lost this battle."
"You're welcome, sister Sally. I didn't expect to see you again." Naifei knew Sally a little earlier, so she naturally leaned towards her and then raised her head to ask, "Is this uncle your knight?"
Naifei usually liked to listen to the bards' stories. In her impression, when a princess was in danger, there would always be a knight riding a white horse to save her … So when she saw Sally hugging Roddy, she changed the word "boyfriend" to "knight" — Sally understood what she meant, so she did not have much shyness at this time. She grabbed Roddy's arm and said, "Yes, this guy is my knight."
Sally was immersed in the unparalleled joy and did not even notice the somewhat strange expression on Roddy's face, "Roddy, Camilla is very powerful. I've met her once in Green City. I didn't expect to meet her here. Just now in the house …"
Sally simply told the story of how Naifei saved her in the house, and Roddy just stood there in a daze. He did not know what to say at the moment.
The history had been completely messed up. The "mentor" Natha had become his "disciple". The originally dead Sally had now become the priest of "Rose Cross". And he had also met Naifei's mother, Camilla, and had a similar "master-servant" contractual relationship with her …
Compared to these incidents, the fact that Sally and Naifei knew each other before him didn't seem to be something that was unacceptable.
But …
"Camilla, your house was destroyed. If you need our help to rebuild it, I will ask the bishop for help. Where are your parents?"
Naifei, who was a little pale, shook her head and answered a little desolately, "I haven't seen my father. My mother went out a few months ago. Maybe she will come back after a long time."
Naifei's expression made Roddy feel a little pain in his heart. When he had a chat with Naifei, it had been more than six years since the year 589, but she was still waiting for her mother to come back …
"That …" Roddy swallowed his saliva and thought for a moment. In the end, he did not say that he knew Camilla.
It was important to complete the mission, but if Roddy suddenly said something like "I was asked to pick up Naifei by someone, and saving you was just a convenience" when Sally was full of joy, the consequences would be … unimaginable.
Just thinking about it made him want to beat him up.
He rubbed the area between his eyebrows. When he saw Naifei and Sally were looking at him, he changed his words, "… I'm afraid that idiot at the front line can't turn the situation around. We are not safe now. We must change our position."
He turned his eyes to Sally, "The dead guy seems to be the commander, so I'm afraid that the enemy will search this place carefully. We'd better inform all the villagers to leave this place, and if Camilla doesn't have a guardian, it's better to leave with us. I know the safe route to leave. "
"But I still have the book left by my mother —"
"Find a carriage and bring all of them. I'll call someone." Sally and Naifei could be considered as "friends of life". At this time, when she heard Naifei talking about her lonely life, she immediately made a decision. "Camilla, follow Uncle Roddy, okay? He can definitely protect you. "
Naifei looked at Roddy whose hair was like a chicken's nest, and hesitated for a moment, but she still said, "Sister Sally, I … I'll follow you, okay?"
Roddy, who had been classified as a "dirty weird uncle", silently covered his face …
*****
At the same time, the situation on the front line finally changed because of Roddy and Sally's efforts.
Due to Goethe's death, the ferocious "Shadow Guards" of the Viper Cross suddenly disappeared, and the front line suddenly lost the advance of more than 300 strong soldiers. The entire encirclement's rhythm was immediately disrupted!
When an ordinary commander besieged the enemy on the plains, they would often use the tactic of "surround three and kill one" to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. However, Goethe was obviously prepared to use his absolute advantage to "capture all of them". However, because of the reinforcements that Roddy had called, the resistance within the encirclement had exceeded the original expectations of the Viper Cross. It could even be said that if not for the strong suppression of the "Shadow Guards", they would not have been able to prevent the encirclement from being torn apart.
Therefore, at this time, when the "Shadow Guards" suddenly disappeared, the Rose Cross's line of defense that had been compressed to the extreme immediately rebounded and opened up a gap in one go!
At this time, they no longer had any morale to speak of. They were truly "mourning soldiers" … They could not escape, nor could they hide. Other than fighting, they had no other choice. Under such circumstances, when there was suddenly a gap in the line of defense, all the soldiers instinctively rushed over …
On the battlefield with more than half of the casualties, the "Rose Cross" soldiers spontaneously formed a breakout team and began a mass escape.
Without hesitation, they escaped into the forest to avoid being killed. The besieging "Viper Cross" team immediately formed a team to chase after them. However, the three teams did not chase far before they received the order to recall them.
The soldiers returned to the main formation and blankly asked what happened. However, the answer they received … made them collectively dumbfounded.
