Chapter 527: Best Oscar (Middle)
In the face of Selìa's surprise attack, Rhodes's expression did not change in the slightest. In fact, he had expected such a situation before summoning Selìa out. Celestia is not like Serestina, and Rhodes knows very well that this war angel is a very serious, rigid person. Not to mention Rod's current approach, I'm afraid that he won't accept it in the eyes of a human being, let alone a war angel. Although Seristina swears to Rod that Selìa will not do anything to Rod about this, it is hellish that Rhodes will believe her words——— although Rod also thinks that Serestina is not cheating on him, but he also does not think that the other party is telling the truth to him. Even if the relationship between Serestina and him has eased a little in the past few days, Rod doesn't think that the cunning devil lady will really trust him so easily.
Now it seems that Rhodes was clearly right.
"Explain?"
"Yes, master, though I understand your thoughts, I would like to hear you tell me in person, why do you choose to use such cruel means and methods? We don't need to disturb the lives of these people at all, we just need to do what we should do, right? ”
Selìa's voice was calm, and Rhodes raised his head to look at the flaming eyes of the War Angel Maiden, and then he didn't have the slightest scruple about the long sword that crossed his neck, raised his head and leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the girl in front of him with a somewhat sarcastic smile.
"Indeed, that's what you do, Selìa. You're an angel, but I'm not, I'm human............ Human beings, on the other hand, have human practices and standards of conduct. Everyone has their own principles, and so do I. I don't think I need to repeat what I said to Seristina a second time, and the only thing I can tell you right now is that I don't mind making a choice as long as I get the victory I want......... I can tell you that this is for the sake of the royal family, and for the sake of reconnecting the hearts of the people of the south to the Golden City, and I can also tell you that this will make our plans go smoothly, and by the way, we will be able to weaken the enemy. Of course, these are the reasons and the reasons, but most importantly, it is able to give me a certain, stable, reliable victory. ”
Saying this, Rod spread his hands.
"And now, I need you to help me complete the last piece of the puzzle, Selìa. You are the key to this plan, and I hope you can understand and accept it......... This is not a request. ”
“…………………”
Hearing Rod's answer, Selìya lowered her eyes, and a complicated expression appeared on her handsome face, including helplessness, anger, sadness and pain.
"Master, this is your own freedom, and I have no right to interfere, but ......... Is that really good? ”
"As long as there is victory, everything is not a problem. And if it fails, the problem that is not the problem is also the problem. ”
Rod waved his hand.
"Victory doesn't need explanation, defeat doesn't allow explanation, so I don't need to say anything more here at all, I just do what I think I should do, it's as simple as that."
Speaking of this, for the first time, Rod's eyes showed a trace of a hideous gaze that Selia had never seen before.
"Because it's a must, I don't accept anything but victory."
Selìa didn't listen to what Rhodes said next at all, her whole person was completely shocked by Rhodes' gaze, since she came to this world and was awakened, Selìa can be said to be the holy sword elf who has been with Rhodes for the longest time, but Selìya can swear by her own reputation, she has never seen Rhodes show such an expression——— it is like a hungry wolf who is extremely vicious and driven to death, With red eyes, even if he fought for his own life, he would completely tear apart the prey in front of him, this kind of fanatical wildness even exceeded the scope of human reason, almost reaching the realm of beasts. Just by feeling the sight, Selìa felt chills all over her body, something she hadn't felt like in a long time. Even the Battle Angel Maiden could feel a chill on the back of her neck, as if an invisible huge mouth had turned sideways and bit her neck, and the sharp teeth could penetrate her throat with a slight force. This even made the War Angel Girl tremble. And at this moment, Rod's voice sounded, and only then did he free Selìa from the strange demonic barrier-like restraint just now.
…,
"Selìa?"
"Ah............?"
When Selia came back to his senses, the strange glint in Rod's eyes had disappeared, and on the surface he didn't seem to have anything unusual, but Selìa would definitely not forget Rode's expression just now, but she wisely didn't ask anything, but nodded.
"I see, master......... I don't like it, but ......... I'll do what you say. ”
At the moment, Selia didn't think about why Rod wanted to do such a thing, on the contrary, after perceiving the feelings that Rod had inadvertently revealed just now, this war angel girl was full of thoughts about why Rod would have such crazy emotions, and she had been with Rod for so long, she never thought that Rod would be forced to death by someone. He was always thoughtful and calm, never taking risks, and he didn't mind using any means to secure victory. And his current strength is also very strong, and his status and identity have also been greatly improved. So why would their own master still behave like this?
What was he thinking?
Rod was a little curious about the sudden obedience of Selia, he didn't know why it would become like this, but now it seems that since the matter has been resolved, he doesn't want to dwell on this aspect. Since Selia himself didn't seem to want to mention it, Rhodes wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for trouble again, so he was smart enough not to talk about it again.
"Then, you can go and rest, Selia, and when the time is right, we'll get moving."
For General Michelle, all this in front of him was nothing short of torment. He stood on the rampart, looking at the bright red glow of the sky with tired, bloodshot eyes, and the old man had never looked forward to the sun setting below the horizon a little later. Although he had left wild words in front of the reformers, General Michel himself knew very well that he could not leave here unless he had to. In any case, this is where all the people of the South are fed, and if he does leave, the South will be in turmoil, and the people will be implicated. This is something that General Michel absolutely does not want to see.
And for General Michelle, the current situation has not improved at all, and the most troublesome thing for him is that he can't find the legendary "undead legion" at all.
Of course, General Michelle knew that the undead Fath had swept through several villages and towns, and he also knew that the strength of the other party was getting stronger and stronger, which made General Michelle worried, but on the other hand, he was a little lucky, after all, the more people there were, the more difficult it was for the other party to hide his whereabouts, and because of this, General Michel even ventured to send scouts around, trying to figure out where the cunning necromancer was hiding, so as to facilitate his next defensive setup.
But what General Michelle didn't expect was that the enemies he was facing were not real necromantic creatures, but cards that Rhodes summoned when he used them, and took them back when he didn't use them. So most of the time, Rhodes was wandering out on his own, and General Michelle's scouts were certainly not going to discover what they were trying to discover.
This also made General Michel very distressed, after all, judging by the actions of the Undead Legion, they were unpredictable and moved extremely quickly. Even though General Michel had been very attentive to his surroundings before, and had sent scouts to reconnoiter and follow the village as soon as it was attacked, he still had not been able to see the shadows of the undead, and when they finally arrived at their destination, all they saw were the burning village and the strange ruins where there was not a single corpse left.
…,
This lack of appearance has also made General Michel extremely frightened, and he has stepped up mobile patrols near the stronghold, and sent five groups of men to guard and guard in turn, which has also made the soldiers complain. But now, General Michel simply did not have time to pay attention to this problem, and he only hoped that this unfortunate trouble would be over sooner rather than later, and that he might not be able to truly be relieved until then.
Thinking of this, General Michel couldn't help but sigh out, although he felt very tired, he still brought back a decision from the council that was quite reassuring to the old man. That is, after "long" discussions, the reformers finally decided to send a mixed army of privates, city guards, and a part of the Southern Guards to General Michel's stronghold to assist in the defense, and to indicate that this motley army would be under the sole responsibility of General Michel.
This news made the old general, who was originally a little uneasy, finally relax a lot, although no matter what level, the ragtag army is the most difficult to discipline, not to mention that in this extraordinary period in front of him, the old general has no idea how much control this ragtag army can have. But in any case, this reinforcement has at least 1,500 people, and with the current defensive strength of the stronghold, even if he takes the initiative, General Michel will no longer have any worries.
"Knock knock!!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and the old general frowned, turned away, and then he saw the pale face of the herald.
"Report, report to your lordship, we have just received a call for help, and the reinforcements that were originally scheduled to arrive at the stronghold have encountered a surprise attack by the undead legion on the banks of the Kairol River, and we are asking for reinforcements!!"
Hearing this, the old man's face instantly turned snow-white.
Sunset.
The bright red glow reflects the town on the edge of the riverbank, and even the river reflects the bright red color. Standing on the high mountain, Rhodes couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked at the somewhat chaotic but huge army below.
"Judging by the route of these fools, they should be the reinforcements sent by those idiots?"
Serestina stood beside Rhodes, looking at the army in front of her with a scornful smile, she raised her slender eyebrows, and did not hide her contempt and disdain for the enemies in front of her.
"What a rabble, master, are you really going to do anything about this waste?"
"This is the best opportunity right now."
In the face of Celestina's inquiry, Rhodes replied quietly. And the reason why he was able to predict the direction and location of this reinforcement was not because of how high Rhodes' military literacy was and how clever he was, but because in order to appease the people, the reformers sent this ragtag army in front of almost everyone. On the surface, of course, they say "unite to protect the population." "In fact, it's just about maintaining the reputation of the people. Now, the people were temporarily stabilized by them, but Rhodes had been given the location and route of these reinforcements——— and it was not difficult for him to penetrate the blockade of the reformists and penetrate it alone.
Now, the motley army has reached the banks of the Carroll, where they will be resupplied for a short period of time before setting off for the Grosso Plains. For Rhodes, this is the best place to attack, as long as he can completely defeat this group of reinforcements here, then the reputation of the reformists ——— completely ruined.
Thinking of this, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and then he reached out and waved at Lu.
"So, let's get ready to get started."
Then, Rod spoke.
"What a terrible weather ..............."
Riding on his horse, a cavalryman took off his helmet and grabbed his hair, he looked at the sky a little depressed, and couldn't help but pout. The humid and sultry weather made him feel as if he was in a steamer, although now with the sun setting, the temperature has changed slightly and refreshing, but for these noble private soldiers, it still wants their lives.
…,
"Damn it, why can't you rest here for the night before leaving?"
"Because we're under the command of that group of officers, fool."
The poor cavalryman had just finished complaining when he saw a large hand come out from behind mercilessly and slap heavily on his head. The unfortunate fellow almost fell off his horse, and at the same time, the gloomy captain rode past him and glared at him coldly.
"Don't forget who you are now, give me some restraint! We're going to get to Grosso's stronghold before midnight to set up defenses, and watch out for the undead......... Do you understand? ”
"Yes, yes, my lord, we will obey your orders..............."
Although the squad leader in front of him was very serious, those cavalrymen were giggling and didn't take him seriously. Seeing their performance, the team leader in front of him held back his anger and sank his face without saying anything. He also knew very well that there was nothing to get along with between his soldiers and those private soldiers. These private soldiers look down on the soldiers, and they look down on these guys who take their lives for money. I don't know what kind of pig brains that those idiots in the Dao Council would come up with such a bad idea............ Damn, do they think that if there are more people, they will be able to win the battle?
Just when the team leader was secretly slandering in his heart, suddenly, he heard a strange sound coming, which made him raise his head with some curiosity and look towards the place where the sound came from. At the same time, the strange sound continued one after another——— like a rolling wave.
"Whoa, whoa...... Whoop............"
"What, what's the sound?"
At this moment, not only him, but even the cavalry and infantry walking behind him heard this strange voice, and they all slowed down their pace, subconsciously grabbing their weapons and looking around them. At this moment, the sky is gradually darkening, and the bright red sunset has gradually sunk to the other side of the horizon.
"Whoa...... Whoop............"
"Hey, what's that sound?"
"Is it the sound of the river?"
"Hah, isn't it, why does it sound strange to me?"
The strange sound did not stop, but got closer and clearer, which suddenly made the soldiers in the team a little panicked. And at this moment, sensing their vacillation, the officers in charge of the command also shouted loudly to calm them down. However, it can be seen from the fact that these officers are holding the horsewhip tightly, their finger joints are already a little whitish, and their faces are tense, these officers are also a little nervous at the moment.
The air began to become so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.
"Huhuhuhu....................."
And at this moment, suddenly, a crisp, silver bell-like laughter came from above everyone's heads, and the soldiers followed the sound in surprise, only to find that at this moment in the sky not far in front of them, there was a young girl levitating, she was wearing a gorgeous evening dress, and her eyes radiated bright red. Behind the girl, a pair of pitch-black wings were spreading, and it was shocking to be supported by the flame-like clouds.
"Yes, it's the devil!!"
"The Holy Soul is above, why is there a devil ............!!"
"Attack, hurry up and attack it!!"
Seeing Serestina suspended in the sky, a panic erupted in the crowd, and soon, hundreds of archers trembled and raised their longbows under the orders of the commander, and drew their bowstrings to shoot arrows at the figure in front of them, but these arrows were isolated by an invisible barrier before approaching the girl's body, and they were useless.
"Stupid, imbecile waste."
Seristina stretched out her right hand to cover her mouth, and let out a disdainful chuckle, since the corner of the seal was lifted, the strength of this devil lady in front of her has risen even more wildly, even slightly higher than Rhodes, at this moment, in the face of these miscellaneous armies, Serestina has no pressure at all. And seeing that the other party actually dared to attack herself, the eyes of the devil lady suddenly burst into bright red and dazzling brilliance.
…,
But now, those soldiers don't have time to pay attention to this "little thing".
They looked pale ahead, completely unsure of what to say.
"Whoa...... Whoop............"
The sound grew louder and clearer, and it was only by this time that the soldiers finally understood the source of the voice.
They stared blankly at the undead army that appeared behind Serestina, like a tidal wave, and had no idea what to do. At the moment, there is only one thought in their minds.
The Holy Soul is above, why are these undead armies coming here?!
Miss Devil did not pay attention to the thoughts of these soldiers, on the contrary, when she saw that the other party dared to attack her, Serestina immediately narrowed her eyes and showed a hint of danger.
"It's up to you, and you dare to try to hurt Miss Ben, so bold!!"
As she spoke, Seristina suddenly stretched out her left hand, and then made a few quick gestures in the air, and then, between her white fingers, a red light flashed.
"Boom!!"
And with Serestina's movements, a bright red and rich mist suddenly exploded in the crowd, enveloping the soldiers, in the face of this sudden attack, the soldiers suddenly panicked, they hurriedly chose to go backwards or forwards, trying to escape from this strange red mist, and at this time, the undead creatures who had been silent in front finally launched an attack on this chaotic legion!!
