Joy, sadness, helplessness, and despair. When these emotions finally found an outlet, Sally really didn't know how to express them. She could only express everything with her actions.
No matter what Roddy said or what decision he made, Sally just wanted to hug him tightly and never let go.
After two hours of searching, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack, Roddy's heart that had been hanging in suspense was finally at ease.
Sally sobbed in his arms. At first, she tightened her grip, but then she began to hit his back with her fists.
"You bastard!"
"… Why did you do this?"
"Why!?"
She never thought that she would throw herself into Roddy's arms again … Smelling the scent on his body, Sally's heart was initially filled with joy after being rescued, but then an inexplicable resentment emerged inexplicably —
Why did fate tease people like this?
You've already made up with that woman, why did you still risk your life to save me?
Roddy could feel that she was really hitting him with force. He also understood why she was like this, but he didn't know how to explain it. He could only awkwardly say, "I'm sorry …"
"What's the use of saying it now!"
Sally buried her head in his chest. "You can be angry, I can apologize. But why do you have to use this method to deal with me … What do you want me to do? You bastard! "
Roddy was also a little confused — What should he do? He saved Sally, but how should he treat her in the future?
Should he draw a clear line and continue to treat her coldly like before? That was already impossible …
But …
An idea that had never appeared in his mind, but Roddy immediately felt that it was not realistic at all. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the messy thoughts in his mind. He said aloud, "We … need to return to Houllier as soon as possible. The city is facing the threat of the plague of the undead."
Sally was not a girl who would pester endlessly. Hearing Roddy's words, she wiped her tears and then found that she was still in the state of "disguise" — She stretched out her hand to wipe off the plastic. As soon as she stretched out her hand, she found that Roddy picked up a water bag from the side, unscrewed the cork and poured the water into her palm.
Sally slightly pursed her lips. The tacit understanding between the two of them made her feel a little sweet, but then there was a touch of bitterness … In the future … perhaps I can no longer dominate him like this.
Leave Roddy?
Sally had completely abandoned this idea in her heart.
"That guy touched a lot of mud on me. I must be ugly." She lowered her eyes, not wanting Roddy to know her thoughts. She tried to speak in a relaxed tone when they were traveling together, "Karl is a spiritual Shadow Priest. He wanted to control me and gave me a bottle of potion, but it seems that the potion did not have much effect, so he did not completely control my body."
She washed her cheeks and threw away the maroon wig. She reached out and put the ends of her short hair behind her ears. Her eyes looked into the distance and asked casually, "When we were in the town, I saw you walking in front of me, but I did not dare to call out to you …"
"I actually saw it … I saw it from afar."
Roddy could understand Sally's complicated feelings at that moment. She had chosen to give up on asking for help, which made Roddy feel extremely guilty in his heart. How many people would give up on such an opportunity?
As the two of them spoke, their gazes were looking elsewhere. The short period of intimate contact did not seem to be able to completely resolve the awkwardness between them. However, Roddy did not have the time to talk nonsense. He quickly searched through the corpses on the battlefield. After confirming that there were no survivors of the enemy, he dragged the cultists from both sides of the road into the dense forest.
The hatred between the 'Viper Cross' and Roddy did not need to be mentioned. However, there were too many things that needed to be done now. Delaying the other party from knowing that the 'operation had failed' was a necessary method.
Roddy pulled Sally and jumped onto the Keda Duck. When the clumsy bird shook its body and took off, Roddy had no choice but to reach out and support her waist. This action caused Sally's back to press against Roddy's chest, causing the originally silent duo's heartbeat to quicken.
The Needle Tail Sand Cone flew at a low altitude. The cold wind that blew against her face forced Sally to close her eyes. This allowed her to feel the heat from Roddy's palm on her abdomen. Her breathing quickened slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lower lip and held onto his palm.
"No matter what you choose, I will never let go again."
She leaned back slightly and said to Roddy who was beside her.
Roddy squinted his eyes at the rapidly flying land in front of him. He was silent and did not know how to reply.
*****
The battle that took place in Hollier City finally ended with the explosion of the 'Mutated Magic Crystal Shard'.
Wimbsk completely disappeared in the flames. The ghouls that followed behind him were also killed. The soldiers also suffered heavy losses. However, because there were enough reserves, the continuous flow of soldiers finally controlled the situation with the help of the two Grand Knights and Akasha. Subsequently, the frontline was pushed back into the square.
For such a result, the death of the enemy leader was one of the reasons. The more important reason was that the Dukes Of Angmar and the enemy had disappeared in the flames.
As the lord of the city, Angmar did not stand behind the shield. Instead, he relied on his old and frail body to perish together with the enemy. When the soldiers understood what the Duke had done, their fighting strength almost instantly exploded.
"For Efta!"
The infantry who had been holding the shield no longer maintained the formation that was on the verge of collapse. One by one, they pulled out their long swords and roared as if they had gone mad.
Golden holy light constantly shone. Akasha forced herself to drink the second bottle of potion that she carried with her. She picked up a short sword and hacked the crawling ghoul beside her to death. Then she chanted a prayer to treat the wounded soldiers on the ground. When she turned around and looked into the distance, she saw the ghost knight with the 'Holy Shield' was quickly reaping the undead in front of him with five translucent shadows.
The victory was decided. Akasha breathed a sigh of relief and then leaned against the wall, panting.
The last batch of resurrected ghouls was forced to the center of the square. The horn of a full-scale counterattack sounded. Akasha raised her hand and continued to release the 'Ring of Purification'. However, after a few steps, she staggered because of the overdraft of magic power and almost fell to the ground.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and reached for the potion bottle. She found that the 'mid-level magic power potion' had been completely drunk …
The lack of magic power gave Akasha an indescribable sense of crisis. But at this moment, the shadow across the square reignited her hope. She looked up and saw the Needle Tail Sand Cone that was circling down. Soon, the Kelda Duck spread its wings and landed on an empty space dozens of meters away.
Akasha stepped forward happily, but just as a smile appeared on her face … her body suddenly stopped in place.
When Roddy jumped down from the Needle Tail Sand Cone, Sally behind him did not let go of his hand.
Looking at the scene not far away, Akasha pursed her lips. After a few continuous breaths, she silently turned around and retreated into the shadow of the building.
Because of the tragic scene in the square, Roddy did not notice the little Priest behind him. He raised his short bow and joined the battle. Together with Sally, they helped the army to wipe out the remaining enemies. When everything was finally over, the system finally sounded the mission completion prompt.
Roddy looked around and then ran to Akasha who was in the corner. He looked at the pale little Priest, and after confirming that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You overdrafted your magic power and need a good rest. I will get someone to help you back. Try not to move around for now."
"Okay."
Akasha looked at him seriously, blinked her eyes, and then raised her hand. Roddy saw this and quickly pulled her up. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Akasha ask softly, "Can you … hold me?"
Roddy felt strange about this request. He thought that she was a little scared because of the battle, so he gently held Akasha in his arms and said, "It's okay now … You did a good job. The plague did not spread. This city and even the whole territory is saved."
However, Akasha did not respond. She just raised her eyes and looked at Sally who was not far away for a few seconds.
The two women's expressions were a little interesting. Only Roddy was not aware of this.
Although she had made up her mind, when she saw Akasha and Roddy together, Sally's heart was still very sour. She pursed her lips and looked away. After casting two "Ring of Purification", she looked at Titus who was walking towards her and asked, "Knight Titus, where is father?"
The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield slowed down, and Titus stopped. His eyes hesitated for a moment, then he slowly took off his helmet and knelt on one knee.
"This is …"
Sally's pupils suddenly narrowed, and her breathing became rapid. She whispered, "Impossible … It shouldn't be like this …"
She looked around blankly, and when she spoke again, she sounded like she was about to cry, "Father is in the mansion, isn't he? I'll go back now … He's waiting for me to go back … "
Sally turned around and wanted to leave, but Titus raised his arm slightly and slowly raised Duke's sword in front of Sally.
"Lord Duke, he … fought until the last moment."
The long sword was broken in the explosion, and at this time, only half of it was left. The hilt was melted and deformed because of the high temperature. Sally looked at the long sword that had always been placed in her father's bedroom, and her vision was instantly blurred by tears.
Although she had already prepared herself for this, when faced with the cruel reality, Sally still could not accept it.
Tears fell to the ground, and Sally wanted to cry out loud. Her body even trembled slightly because she had to endure the great sorrow. However, when she reached out to hold the hilt of the broken sword, she took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed these emotions in the bottom of her heart.
