Demon Lord

May 8th.

After all, the incident in Brier Forest could not be concealed, and the news of the Rose Cross being ambushed spread throughout the kingdom through various channels the next day.

And when the pigeon crossed half the kingdom and arrived at Houlier City, the Duke of Angmar, who was sitting at the desk reading the letter... almost crushed the cup in his hand.

There are no war reporters in this era, and all battle reports are basically passed on by word of mouth, and are often distorted and exaggerated in the process of passing on - the Rose Cross finally escaped at least 30% of the battle through hard work in this battle The troops, however, were exaggerated into annihilation of the whole army in the battle report passed on.

However, the Duke of Angmar is well-informed after all, and understands the reason why such battle reports cannot be fully believed. He tried his best to stabilize his mind and patiently waited for the follow-up battle reports from other channels... and in the afternoon, the news sent from Bishop Benjamin finally gave him some hope.

This old friend who is the archbishop of the diocese urgently mobilized all the forces he could mobilize, and arrived near the Briel Forest on the 7th with a team of more than a thousand people. He assisted part of the team to retreat and confirmed at least a thousand soldiers. The fact that survived.

Although it has not been confirmed whether there is Sally among them, the Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief...

However, he then thought of Rody, who was behaving strangely: After the other party left the North City Gate, there was still no news. So many days have passed, what is he doing?

After the war is over, does he not even know what happened?

Angmar, who was in Efta, was worried about the safety of her daughter, but in the temple, Cardinal Mograine was worried about his current situation.

My lord bishop, this is the current loss report, and there is one more... strange news.

Mograine no longer had the high-spirited and confident look he had when he faced Rubens a few days ago. At this moment, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were red because he had not slept all night. Hearing the words of his priest, He turned his eyes a little stiffly, reached out to pick up the letter that he didn't want to read at all, and asked casually: It's not surprising what happened now... Tell me, do you have anything to report?

The reserve team in Pass Town left suddenly two days before the battle, and rushed to the battlefield on the day of the battle...

Mograine turned his head suddenly, and he thought about many things in an instant. His eyes darkened, and he asked, Someone forged my order?

It is not yet possible to confirm, my lord.

After the priest answered in a low voice, he continued: There is another piece of news—a force from the Bogdo Parish also arrived near the battlefield on the 7th, and helped the main force get rid of the enemy's pursuit—

What does it mean?

Mograine turned around suddenly before he finished speaking, and slapped the wooden table next to him with a bang.

The ink bottle was overturned, and the black ink instantly stained the clean tabletop: Why does it sound like everyone knows that my troops will be besieged, but I am the only one who is kept in the dark?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Everything that happened right now seemed like a huge joke, as if everyone in the world knew that there was a trap, and only he was the stupidest and most stupid, jumping into it without hesitation...

The Diocese of Bogdo, that is Benjamin's order, and he— Mograine just looked up, and immediately found that this matter seemed to be inseparable from Rubens, who was about to be promoted to Cardinal. Tie

Speaking of Rubens, the scene when he mocked the other party two days ago still seems to be vivid in my memory, and Rubens' answer with a mocking tone seems to have some deep meaning...

You are right, Lord Mograine. Any point of view must be clarified by facts.

What fact?

The fact is... my blind self-confidence ruined the lives of more than 5,000 elite soldiers of the Rose Cross

Now it seems that this sentence is completely slapping myself

There was an indescribable depression in his chest, but Mograine found that he had no way to accuse the other party... because everything now is just speculation, and there is no evidence at all.

Go and find out I want to know what they did and why they kept me in the dark

It was Mograine's first...and perhaps his last gaffe in the cardinal position in decades.

At the same moment, Rubens was puzzled by the person who took the letter from the priest, and asked, You said the pigeon that delivered the letter was very big?

My lord bishop...it's not very big, yes, it's big, it's a bit weird, it collapsed the whole pigeon coop when it fell, we thought it was under attack, but we saw that it stretched out its legs and didn't move, so we saw that there was something wrong here. letter...

Crush the pigeon coop?

Rubens twitched the corners of his mouth with a weird expression. The pigeon cage of the Temple is not small. Although it is made of wood, its area is comparable to that of an ordinary noble's house. Where is the carrier pigeon that can crush this thing? sacred?

But what he was even more curious about was the letter. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the inscription on it was Rody's name—he hurriedly tore it open, but when he read it, he found that the sentence didn't make any sense. He only saw soaked in water at the end of the letter. typeface. He thought for a while, poured the letter paper with a water cup, and then saw the sentence hidden between the original writing.

Rubens narrowed his eyes to read, then widened his eyes in surprise, and even took a breath

He suddenly grasped the letter paper in his hands in some gaffe, spent more than a dozen seconds recalling what he had just seen, and then immediately tore the letter paper into pieces.

Picking up the quill, Rubens immediately wrote down the order to dispatch troops on a new piece of parchment, and then printed it with the ring on his hand: Give up all other actions, and execute the order now...

The priest took the letter, and was obviously taken aback by the above content, but then turned and left without asking any further questions...

In the evening, in a forest fifty kilometers away from the edge of the Brill Forest, Rody was staring at the bonfire in front of him in a simple camp, slowly turning the hare in his hand.

After killing Goethe from the edge of the Brill Forest, Rody and others evacuated the villagers of Mogra Village, and then set off in a team with only 67 remaining members, marching from Mogra Village all the way to the northeast, one day and one night Then rushed to this forest, and finally stopped.

The surrounding soldiers had long been exhausted and sat on the ground. They didn't bring much food when they set off from Mogra Village. At this time, the rations of more than 60 people were only settled by Rody after hunting two wild boars and three deer. And he is also the leader appointed by the team's current supreme commander - Sally.

Sister Sally, do we have to go far?

I don't know either, just listen to him.

Uncle Roddy...

He's not that old, you can just call him brother.

Sally corrected Naifei's mistake with a smile, then took her little hand to sit down beside Rody, took the rabbit meat that Rody handed over, but gave it to Naifei instead: It's hot, be careful Order.

Looking at the closeness between the two of them, Luo Di twitched the corners of his mouth, looked away, and said with a cough, Did you find the linen?

Well, are these enough?

Sally handed over the roll of linen she was holding in her hand, and then saw Rody stretch out his hand: Give me the scepter, too.

She handed over the Viper's Kiss without hesitation, and Roddy's movements were fixed, Sally put the scepter in his hand, and asked suspiciously: Why? Is there anything strange?

No, I just feel that this scepter is a little different.

Sally's trust in him has long been unreserved, even if it is an artifact, there is no doubt or nostalgia. Rody held the cold Viper's Kiss, but he was inexplicably emotional—his eyes swept over the [Equipment Attributes] ], her lips pursed involuntarily.

[This equipment is bound and cannot be used currently]

Rao has observed many times during this day and night journey, and every time he sees this amazing attribute, he has to take a breath...

This is not the surprise of winning the lottery, but the sense of crisis of every man is innocent, but he is guilty

The word Awakening of Viper's Kiss proves that its true power is far more terrifying than it is shown now, and the Viper's Scepter that Bishop Flack talked about back then should be exactly this thing...

In other words, it seems that the artifact that Viper Cross had just obtained after painstaking efforts was cut off by Roddy and Sally...

Back then, players could turn against each other and disband the guild for a piece of equipment, let alone a scepter that might change the fate of the sect?

For the past two days, Rody has been moving forward cautiously, detours, detours, detours, and entering the jungle, trying his best to cut off any possibility of the other party staring at him—and what he is about to do at this time is Don't let the real body of the scepter be revealed in front of others.

The linen was tightly wrapped around the scepter, covering the scales and the delicate snake head.

I also feel that this scepter is a little different. It... made my body change at that time.

Sally looked at Rody's careful look, and couldn't help recalling the feeling of being filled with energy at the beginning, and then shivered because of it, and couldn't help but sit closer to Rody: It contains very cold power, which makes people …fear.

That scepter? Just as he was talking, Naifei's small face suddenly came closer, and then he pointed to the Viper's Kiss wrapped in sackcloth in Roddy's hand, and said casually: It seems very powerful. It is emitting purple light, even if it is wrapped in sackcloth, it cannot stop it...

Rody's hands trembled nervously, then he suddenly raised his head and asked, Can you see purple light?
