Chapter 21 Once Heroes

The torches were on. In the evening, the villagers were basically staying at home. So the scouts in the Nolan Village went smoothly. Not long after, many figures appeared in front of 70% of the houses in the village. Obviously, they received the notice. Roddy looked closely and found Ruger holding the torch. He walked over and suddenly fixed his figure.

He narrowed his eyes, looked ahead in surprise, and swallowed involuntarily.

Just in front of Ruger, a young man was talking about something serious. The other party was more than half a head taller than Ruger, with a strong upper body but not bloated appearance. He wore a sword to the right, proving that he was a left-handed man. He wore a second lieutenant badge on his chest, and was obviously the scout leader of Fenx Village.

At this time, he frowned, as if he was unwilling to believe the content of the parchment in Ruger's hand in front of him. He shook his head and waved his hands frequently, his face a little ugly.

"I remember...Secretary Soding doesn't seem to be able to write, right?"

The young man's slightly uttered words changed Ruger's expression.

"We don't have more time to say this nonsense. If the villagers are not allowed to evacuate today, a squadron of orcs will kill the place into ruins tomorrow. Would you like to see this scene?!"

Ruge was not stupid. He actually understood that the letter from the forged Lieutenant Soding in his hand was not very convincing, so he could only make a decision with bluff and fraud. To be honest, he expressed doubts about the orcs gathering forces to attack a village with no strategic value, but when he remembered Roddy's serious face when he spoke, he finally chose to believe it, but the stupid man in front of him seemed to see the flaw.

It's really a bit troublesome.

Ruger was anxious and wanted to say something, but when he saw Roddy walking out of the manor, the young leader came to the front of several people with a strange expression, as if he had seen something difficult to believe. He frowned and stared at the scout in Fenx Village in front of him, and finally hesitated to ask a sentence-

"Sodlor?"

The big man turned his head and frowned and looked at the guy in front of him with a strange expression. Although he didn't understand why the other party looked at him like this, he still nodded and replied: "It's me, we've seen him before?"

More than just seeing it.

After getting the affirmative answer, Roddy was shocked - but what came immediately was a little sadness.

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

He was once the highest commander of the rebel army, and he was one of the few powerful beings who had broken through the advanced profession level 60. He was also a legendary general with a winning rate of more than 90% on the battlefield!

However, countless dazzling auras gradually faded after their despicable assassination. The rebel army lost a general, and was betrayed by "friendly forces" and eventually defeated.

Roddy is a witness of the entire history and witnessed the entire process of this general from standing out to falling. But he never expected that the legendary figure, at this moment, would have a similar position to his own. He was just the captain of a border town?

If it weren't for the fact that he had really been reborn from that era, I'm afraid Roddy himself wouldn't have believed this.

"I-I have heard of your name. Let me introduce myself. I am Roddy, the scout captain of Nolan Village. Lieutenant Soding was injured during the battle with the orcs and could not come in person, so he asked us to come and report the information in an expedited manner." He made up a lie casually, but thought about it and added: "We killed more than thirty orcs in the past three days and sneaked into a camp. These information was learned by chance, because an orc could speak Bringa."

Roddy remembered the analysis and various introduction articles of the former Legion Commander on the forum. He knew that he was careful, so he quickly listed evidence and reasons in order to block all doubts in a short time and try to get the other party to cooperate with his actions as soon as possible.

"Kill more than thirty orcs..."

Soderol raised his eyebrows. Anyone who heard the news that the scouts could do such a thing would be shocked, but obviously he did not give up his vigilance at this time, and it could even be said that he was calm and a little unreasonable.

"Seven casualties, heavy losses, but fortunately, the orcs suffered even worse losses." Roddy thought for a while, and immediately took out the real grass sandpaper in his hand that said the enemy's attack moment, and handed it to Sodlor without hesitation, "This was found from that orc."

Does Soderol know these words?

Perhaps even the scouts of the entire Fenx Village would not know that Roddy's ability to identify orcs was initially popularized by Sodlor's orders, and Sodlor himself was the first military general to be able to identify orcs - Roddy had reason to believe that even though Sodlor was not as powerful and wise as he remembered now, he would definitely have his own way to judge some clues.

"letter?"

Soderol took it and the first thing he did was not to identify the text, but to rub the papyrus in the fire light - he narrowed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then stared at the words and compared them to each other. After a minute, the scout gradually stretched his eyebrows, but his face became even more tense...

Raising his hand, he handed the letter back to Roddy and asked directly: "I believe you, what do you need me to do now?"

The scene was silent for a moment, and Ruger opened his mouth wide, not hiding his shock, because they all understood that the letter was written in Orcs... and for them, Orcs were completely a heavenly book!

Now the other party just glanced at it for a few times and completely believed Roddy's words. Not to mention his ability to judge orc writing, but even this courage is unprecedented.

It was indeed that monster guy.

Roddy was happy and sighed at the same time - although Soderol in front of him was just a young lieutenant, he could still analyze and make decisions calmly under such circumstances, which is really...

The corners of his mouth twitched. Roddy didn't want to get into evil with such a guy. He had participated in several foreign wars organized by the other party in later generations. He had a deep understanding of the general's iron blood and strength.

At this time, Sodlor decided to cooperate, and Roddy did not refuse pretentiously. He looked at the team that was about to enter the village in the distance, and arranged clearly: "The orcs will attack tomorrow, so our movements must be fast - and we cannot encounter any resistance!"

"Ruge—"

Ruger, who was named, immediately stood at attention, and the sound of the heel of the boots hitting was extremely crisp.

"Let the team members continue to assist the villagers to leave, don't bring any extra things, and you must not leave anyone here before midnight."

"yes!"

He immediately turned around and trotted away, and then only Roddy and Sodlor were left facing each other - looking at the young man in front of him who could only look up to him but now he was just a rank of lieutenant. Roddy hesitated for a half-second time and saluted solemnly, and then said: "I'll go and convince Housekeeper Hall to be with that Miss Sally, but I don't expect to succeed. So if there is any dispute, try to keep your people from coming."

Soderol narrowed his eyes, and he lowered his head to stare at the scout who had met for the first time in front of him, as if he was considering and measuring something. Finally, he nodded silently, returned to the military salute, and turned toward his subordinates.

"call."

Rodie breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though Soderol does not have the decisive and decisive general temperament in the future, Roddy found that he could not completely get rid of the "past" or the influence of the "future" that had become vague.

Turning back, in the dim light, Housekeeper Hall was furious at several servants with fear, because he finally discovered the abnormal movement of the villagers packing together. The servants of the manor stood and were scolded with timidity, while Housekeeper was sweating profusely, but he could not stop the Duke's daughter Miss Sally from riding a horse to the front of him.

"Hell, Housekeeper Hall."

The Duke's daughter Sally came to Hall and turned over and dismounted in an elegant manner. Although the Duke's daughter was young, she was very imposing on her face. In the light reflected by the torches, she saluted politely. When she raised her head, her eyes flashed slightly, as if she was a little surprised and curious, and asked softly: "Is Fenx Village going to migrate collectively today?"

Her tone was just a simple question, but the butler felt like a questioning sound, which made him sweat suddenly on his back and he stammered: "Miss Sally, I... this... the villagers seem to-them..."

Hall couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, but at this moment, a voice he absolutely did not want to hear sounded in his ears-

"Rody, the captain of the second scout team of Nolan Village, hopes to report a message to the respected Miss Sally."

Village, scout, captain. These three words are destined to speak as humble as civilians. In the eyes of Hall, the butler of Fenx Village, this unknown snack is simply used as air...

He was already depressed when he encountered unlucky things one after another, but was interrupted again. He immediately turned his head and shouted in anger.

"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to stand here to speak?! When should the scouts in Nolan Village need to report on the situation here?"

"You are a transcendence! I will punish you with the most severe law!"

Housekeeper Hall didn't know that being so angry was like leaving Sally who should have spoken aside. He just cursed Roddy with a harsh curse, but he didn't think... Roddy's eyes didn't look at him from beginning to end, but stared straight at the Duke's daughter who had just dismounted.

This was the first time Roddy saw the daughter of the dead old duke in history. In his imagination, this girl should have a naive look, perhaps a little naughty, or quiet. At this time, he looked at her, and her face was indeed beautiful and slim in the fire, but the inexplicable aura of "being sure to win" made him frown slightly.

It seems... there is a premonition that something is not right.

"Housekeeper Hall, I think I still have the right to decide whether I should listen to the scout's report, right?"

Sally noticed Roddy's gaze. She did not seem to think the scout was rude, but simply interrupted the chatter of Hall's housekeeper.

At this moment, Hall was like a duck who was hit hard by a duck, with his mouth slightly opened, and his expression was stunned.

The young duke's daughter was polite and gentle in character, and everyone knew from afar, but at this moment, the butler would never have thought that there was a hint of coldness that shocked him in his ears.

For a moment, Sally, whose face was cold, no longer paid attention to Hall, but turned her eyes to Roddy - the curve of the corners of her mouth disappeared, leaving only seriousness.
