Chapter 422: Ambush
At the end of the meal, Rod had already told Paris all the causes and consequences of the incident, and until this time, Paris finally understood why Natasha and Grundy would be with Rode, and they looked tired and half dead. She already had this question at the beginning of Zhilu Dao, after all, looking at the appearance of those two people, if it weren't for the identity of Luo Dao, Paris would even wonder if these two people were captured by Rod to be slaves. Now this doubt has finally been solved, but even so, Paris's mood has not improved because of this.
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Rhodes, I was very surprised."
Although he was very surprised, from Paris's cold and hard tone, there was not even the slightest hint of "surprise".
"You're saying you've encountered a group of undead legion soldiers, led by a Death Knight, and behind them, there's a necromancer........."
"At least a necromancer."
Rod corrected Paris's statement.
"Although it is impossible for the dead to have many men in the Duchy of Moon, and I can guarantee that the undead soldiers who met us before have all been wiped out. However, that necromancer won't give up so easily, and it will definitely come to his door. Moreover, with the strength of the necromancer, it is not impossible for it to gather an army of necromancy temporarily. ”
“……………”
Hearing this, Paris was silent for a long time, and then she spoke again.
"So, what was your original plan?"
Hearing this, Rhodes spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
"My original plan was to rush to the City of Eagles as soon as possible, and then use your guild's power to get rid of that damn necromancer, after all, we fought the Necromancer before. It's already quite exhausting, and if we were to fight the necromancer alone, there would definitely be a certain amount of trouble. ”
Rod's words are a bit untrue, but Paris has no doubts, she knows the strength of these people at the moment. The overwhelming fireball Dafa of the Seven Loves became famous in the Midsummer Festival, and even after that, there was a considerable degree of debate within the Purple Lily Guild about whether the fox-eared girl was a mage or not. Some mages believe that Seven Love is not a mage at all, as no single mage can summon as many fireballs without chanting a spell, while others believe that Seven Love has most likely mastered some unique technique. That's why we have such strength.
As for Anne, she is naturally no stranger, especially the scene where she killed Lawson in the Midsummer Festival competition, which almost made everyone tremble, and even Battle, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, told Paris with some fear afterwards that if she went up by herself. He definitely didn't want to face such a perverted opponent who was not human. But looking at the cat-like girl who had now cleaned twenty portions of bread and beef, leaning back in her chair contentedly, squinting her eyes and touching her round little belly and burping, Paris couldn't associate her with the image of the beast in the ring before, cruelly pulling out Lawson's heart and pinching it up.
As for Rod's strength, then not to mention......... What strength Battle has, she knows better than anyone else. was able to knock Battle out of the ring with one move, and even seriously injured him. Such strength is indeed rare.
And if they really encountered such a group of necromantic creatures, it would not be an exaggeration to kill them, and after such a battle, it was a long journey, and now Rhodes said that they have little combat effectiveness, which is also normal. And Paris had just asked Natasha and Grundy, and their claims validated Rod's account. But right now, it's a bit complicated.
"Can't you destroy that list of bones?"
Come to think of it. Paris was keenly aware of the key. Since the other party killed Rhodes and the others for the sake of the bone list, does it mean that they only need to destroy this evil magic prop. So what's the matter?
"If you don't mind that there may be hundreds of moles in various positions who die inexplicably overnight in the entire Principality of Moon, then I have no problem either."
Rhodes didn't say much about Paris's proposal, and after hearing Rod's answer, Paris quickly dispelled the idea. It is true that those who betray the principality deserve death, but if they all die overnight, then it is impossible to cause chaos in the country. So after hearing Rod's answer, Paris didn't think much about it anymore.
"So what is Mr. Rhodes' opinion on this?"
"Bring this list of bones to the City of Eagles and give it to the War Angel Legion stationed there, and then our business is over......... Of course, until then, we have to deal with the necromancer who is sure to come to trouble because he doesn't give up. ”
“…………………”
Hearing Rod's answer, Paris didn't respond immediately, and she was silent for a moment before standing up.
"I'm sorry, I'm leaving."
With that, Paris nodded to the crowd and turned to leave. And for her sudden move, Rod didn't mind, he knew what Paris was going to do. This matter is very important, she must have no way to make a decision by herself, the high-level of each mercenary guild has some emergency contact methods to prevent any accidents from happening but no one can be found, and now Paris must have gone to ask Battle for instructions. All he had to do now was wait.
"Rowe, Mr. Rhodes, can we rest a little longer?"
Watching Paris leave, Natasha asked with some uneasiness, since she was born, the eldest lady knew for the first time that she was so comfortable sitting in a chair, and now she longed to be connected to this chair and never move again. But alas, this is not possible.
The appearance of Paris did not save Natasha and Grandi from the water and fire, after all, they and Paris are not very familiar, and the other party's attitude is also very cold, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like they want to help them, so Grandi and Natasha can only endure it and see what the next result will be. And when they heard the conversation between Rhodes and Paris, the two of them were still relieved. In any case, the Purple Lily Guild still has influence and strength in this area, and they have their help. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with that necromancer.
However, in the face of Natasha's inquiry, Rhodes was silent for a moment, and then quickly gave an answer.
"Ready, let's go right away."
“……………………”
Hearing this answer, Natasha no longer even had the strength to sigh.
At this moment, Paris returned to Rod's side, and she first nodded to the crowd. Then he faced Rhodes and spoke.
"Mr. Rhodes, I have already asked the Commander what he means, and the Commander has allowed me to cooperate with you unconditionally from now on, whatever you need us to do, whether it is to cover your escape. Deal with that necromancer, whatever you want to do, we'll do our best to cooperate. Moreover, the captain will also lead the men to cover you as quickly as possible, and protect Miss Natasha and Mr. Grandi at the same time. ”
"What do you think?"
After listening to Paris's words, Rod nodded slightly, with what he knew about Battle, the guy heard a necromancer swaggering around his territory, and it would be hell if he could endure it. But it seems that Battle is not a fool either. Natasha and Grundy are important people here, and if they can be rescued, it will naturally be a great achievement for the Purple Lily Guild, but at this moment, Rhodes still wants to hear what Paris thinks about it.
After hearing Rod's inquiry, the cold woman did not answer immediately, she thought for a while. That's when he spoke.
"I'm not familiar with the combat characteristics of necromancers. So whatever you plan to do, just have a place where we are needed. We're all going to do our best. But personally, the sooner this necromancer is eliminated, the less damage will be caused. ”
"Well, I see, Miss Paris."
Hearing this, Rod waved his hand and made a gesture.
"I'm just like you, if I can, I don't expect to delay for too long, when the night general, the necromancer will definitely leave, in that case, then I'll make a long story short."
At this, Rod paused.
"You shouldn't be afraid of motion sickness, Miss Paris."
Night falls.
By the time the sun's last glimmer of light faded below the horizon, the carriage had sped away from the Hobbit Village and headed for the City of Eagles. Since it was a freight carriage, it was not as comfortable and warm as a passenger carriage, and everyone was sleeping on the straw-covered carriage. Natasha and Grundy were huddled in the corner, exhausted by the days of traveling, and now they had fallen into a deep sleep, not caring how dirty their environment was. On the other side, Anne also fell asleep with her cloak, as if for this girl, she had nothing more to ask for in this world than to eat and sleep.
On the other side of the carriage, Rhodes held a long sword and sat on the edge of the carriage, the open carriage did not resist at all, and the cold night wind whistled and swept over him, but Rhodes didn't care at all, he just leaned his back on the hard and cold planks of the carriage, looking up at the night sky in front of him. And beside him, Seven Love was leaning on Rod's shoulder, and the fluffy tail once again played the role of a fur blanket, wrapping the bodies of the two. And between the hands of the fox-eared girl, the white bone list is exuding a faint blue light, the wooden box where the magic props were originally placed has already been thrown away by Rod, and at this moment, Qilian is holding this magic book in both hands, surrounded by the fire element, exuding a little aura.
"I hope you've made the right decision, master, but I'm unlikely you'll fail."
"Hopefully, it's the only best thing I can think of at the moment."
Hearing the trickery of the seven loves, Rod sighed, in fact, he is also very tired now, the sequelae of the legion horn has not fully recovered yet, originally if Rod found a place to sleep beautifully, then he would still be able to recover his soul power, but in order to hurry, he had to choose to postpone the rest, and because of this, the current Rhodes strength is not even half of what he usually does.
Frankly speaking, if he dealt with a necromancer in this state, Rod himself had no bottom in his heart. Luckily, at least for now, he's not fighting alone.
“………………!!”
Just as the carriage was speeding forward, Rhodes suddenly noticed a faint flash of magical light in the night sky in front of him.
Then, in the next instant, Rhodes jumped to his feet.
The bright red sword suddenly came out of its sheath and headed for it.
