Chapter 12: Scout's Counterattack (1)

Roddy and Carter walked straight into Sodding's room, but then found that the officer in front of him was not very good.
Usually this expression means that the two scout teams will not have a good life for the next three days. Sodin can be regarded as a standard "bag of rice bags": not capable, not bad-tempered, delicious and lazy, so happy, basically all the disadvantages No shortage.
In the memory of "Lodi", this goods was only by virtue of his father's identity as a cavalier obedience, so that he now has such a flimsy military rank. Although he has a military rank, he can only be called a mixed army.
Everyone knows that when Soudin ’s father died on the battlefield, the cub was only eight years old. A good martial arts uncle had no time to inherit from his father, which made Soudin ’s mother a widow, who died of illness two years later. . The broken family didn't allow Soding to learn how to fight, but in the end he made him a very high-spirited and hard-working character.
Sodin was originally preparing to rely on a sack orc head to prepare for the merit invitation, but after thinking about it, I felt that these things did not seem to be enough for his own promotion. To be greedy, to get resentment if you don't get it. At this point, Sodin was indignant and Carter and others did not kill a few orcs yesterday, and a sullen heart had nowhere to vent-but when he saw the bunch of orc heads in Carter's hands, his eyes suddenly lighted up, and he thought The bad mood to yell at him suddenly turned 180 degrees, and asked in surprise: "You have killed so many orcs again!"
"Yes, sir, these are the bodies of eight orc wolf cavalry, we—"
Carter wanted to continue talking, but as if Sodin had no intention of waiting for his nonsense, completely disregarding the smell, he rushed over and grabbed a bunch of heads, and patted Carter on the shoulder with a smile: "One two Three ... eight? I haven't seen you so good before, is the orc really so vulnerable? "
Of course, Sodin, who has never been on the battlefield, does not understand the sinister nature of this battle, and Carter's mentality has undergone a major change at this moment, and his heart can't help but develop an aversion to the Soudin in front of him-not only that he dislikes Sodin without concealing it The greed is a bit more disgusting to the person who was similar to the other.
"This is an eight orc wolf cavalry, sir." Carter did not respond as charmingly as before, but revealed a slight alienation. "We found an orc camp in the northwest, and encountered their pursuit. But eventually these wolf cavalry were solved by us— "
"Good job!"
Soding was totally unaware of the importance of the information in Carter's words just now. In his mind at this moment, he was only thinking about how many silver coins and military power these orc heads can exchange. A few words of nutritious praise and greetings blocked Carter's words, and immediately It signaled that Carter could retreat, but as for Roddy-he didn't even look at it from beginning to end.
Carter was awkward and abnormal.
He admits that he is not very capable, and admits that he likes to talk too much, and sometimes even feels complacent about his good relationships. But at this moment, he felt that he used to be flattering with Sottinger, and getting the result now makes him feel sick.
He has a low-born Carter, but it does not mean that he is an ungrateful man. He came here with Roddy, because he internally agreed with Roddy ’s efforts and status. Today ’s battle has never been more complete proof of Roddy ’s. Ability, presumably makes him a leader, far more suitable than himself.
But Carter deliberately, Saudin was inadvertent, because this ensign didn't even have any idea of ​​the importance of the message of "discovering the orc camp"!
Before, Carter was still worried about whether the noble lords would ignore the news as Roddy said, but now it seems that let alone the nobles, even the second lieutenant does not seem to have the brain to take care of this important battle report.
He turned to look at Roddy, but found that the young man didn't feel anxious or angry, but shook his head with his eyes down-Carter sighed helplessly, the two didn't say anything, left together, leaving only Soding. People looked at the heads of the orcs and were excited whether they could be promoted to Lieutenant.
"I didn't expect-唉 ..."
I walked out of the room, Carter wanted to smile bitterly, but found that his voice was very dry, and what he wanted to say finally turned into a sigh.
"The Karen Kingdom has gone through peace for too long, and people are unwilling to face war, and even prefer to deceive themselves when the war is coming. This is normal."
Roddy remembered the tasks of the Karen Kingdom Novice Village when the "Crack Soil" was in service a year later. The information reflected in it showed that even when the orcs were raging on the border, no one in the Karen kingdom believed that the orcs would be true. This invasion of the people was innocent only when it was the "aggressive action" of "a few orcs"-because the agreement signed after the kingdom repulsed the orcs stated that the orcs should not be allowed to step into the territory of the Kingdom of Carlo, and people were naive. Believe that these orcs really don't tear their faces ...
Facts have proven that any war is an outbreak of cumulative contradictions. The so-called "fuses" are just small things that are not worth mentioning, because they always happen, just like people who fight with each other because of quarrels. , Swearing at each other before, but to find out why they have more violent hands. Roddy understood the consequences of the orcs' invasion, but he could not now declare to the world that this would happen.
I still have that sentence-a scolding nonsense "guess", who will take it seriously?
Uncle Carter returned to the village in silence and Roddy, and today ’s mission ends. The scout team is not as strict as the cavalry regiment or the elite establishment of Hollier City. The soldiers are basically relatively leisurely. The only recreational activity other than eating and sleeping to patrol the border every day is nothing more than gambling. The soldiers are poor, they ca n’t win or lose a few copper coins, and they are in remote and remote areas. There is no brothel to go to prostitutes, because this is the village of Lord Kirk. I said a few words in front of the widow in the village.
I am just these soldiers who used to seem to have nowhere to vent their energy, but today they are silent and scary. When Carter and Roddy entered the eating shed, the scouts of the second team stood up collectively, as if waiting for news.
"You ... I have something to say today."
Carter had no leadership style, and even his current position was not even a superior, but at this moment, the two teams of thirteen scouts standing in front of him set their sights on him.
This did not bring any sense of vanity, but made his heart more bitter. His eyes dropped slightly, and his voice was a bit dry: "Our group of scouts eating mixed meals are all struggling to earn this meager army. No one is more noble than anyone else. Today ... we killed a team of orc wolf cavalry. Many people may not understand what this means, but I remember clearly who led the brothers of our second team alive from that situation. . "
The scouts of the first team were unknown, but they all remained silent in connection with Carter's string of heads and the word "wolf cavalry" today.
"Lieutenant Sortin didn't think the orcs were a threat, and he didn't even bother to hear the news of that camp. But ... but I believe what Roddy said."
"That's an orc ... that's not a human! These orcs and beasts raised by the will soon or later stretch their fangs towards us, Nolan Village, or even Holytown ..." Carter lowered his head and slowly took off the one on his chest. The scout captain's badge, looking up, and looking at the comrades in front of him, suddenly developed a pride: "Nothing else said, led us to victory, Roddy did it, and led us to make the right decision, I think He can do the same. "
He turned around, Carter couldn't refuse to pin the captain's emblem on Rody's chest, and immediately stood upright, performing a very serious military salute.
谁 This is a series of actions everyone understands. But making Carter resolutely make such a decision, Roddy is also very impressed.
As a modern man, Luo Di's concepts such as "capable of living" and "resigning to sacrifice" are far more advanced than the medieval feudal society of "cracked soil". He couldn't fully understand what Carter had given up when he did so, but he just felt it instinctively ... it was not easy to let a person who could only be in the bottom of his life to give up the few powers in his hands.
More than a dozen soldiers looking at Rody and Carter were collectively silent for a while, but there was no objection. Ruger, who was sitting in the corner, probably understood what happened. He sighed helplessly and asked: " Can you explain it to us? "
This is very polite words. When did Ruger ever treat Carter or Roddy in this way? But no matter what a fat meal Roddy gave him today, or the biggest encounter victory of the scout team in the past decade, it is of unspeakable significance to the veteran Ruger.
Unlike Carter, Ruger is not a rookie, nor is he a lieutenant Lieutenant Saudin. In some ways, he is the only veteran in the village of Nolan who has seen the power of the wolf cavalry.
So no matter how much contradiction Rody had with him before, in the face of the threat of the orcs, they must be enemies.
As the captain of a scout team, Ruger has always been in a state of contradiction with the captain of the second team. He looks down on the naive young people, but after hearing Carter's words, his pair of historically sharp and unconvinced eyes turned to look With Roddy, it was no surprise, more, but it was a look.
Luge, who had bruises on his face, still had a big temper, but it also proved that he was a straight-going character-"You killed eight wolf cavalry? No loss?"
Uncle Carter understood that the conflict between the two men might not be resolved this morning, and then explained in detail the entire course of today's battle. After a few words, all scouts looking at Roddy's eyes had changed dramatically.
Even even Luge had a short absence, he seemed to think of something, his tight lips and closed eyes were showing that the memory was probably the pain of his life ...
When I opened my eyes again, UU read the book www. uukanshu.com His face seemed a little hesitant than before. Looking at Carter, he asked in a low voice, "What did Sodin say?"
"He? He patronized how many military skills those heads can change."
Carter snorted so that the scouts around could not help but be a little angry and unwilling.
"The problem we are facing now is ... the orcs are building a camp 30 kilometers away. If they are allowed to set up the outpost, I am afraid that the village of Nolan will face those animal attacks sooner or later." Carter was somber and thought of Soudin He was a little angry, "Rodi gave these inferences. I didn't want to believe it at first, but now it seems ... I have no choice."
Roddy's reaction to Ruger was in his eyes, and he knew in the morning that even though the opponent had suffered a lot in the morning, the role it played at this time was definitely not small-at least the entire scout team had begun to think of itself. Centered.
Ricky Carter's initiative to "make Xian" was not expected by Roddy. In fact, he has already begun to use various methods to get the captain's position. If Ruger dares to disagree, he will also look for opportunities to convince the other party completely. But now it seems that the response of these two people is much better than they thought. It is not difficult to achieve the next plan ...
For his own purposes, Roddy considered for a moment, and said in a serious tone: "The ensign did not give any specific order, so our task continues."
Hearing this, the scouts seemed relieved, but the faint expectations followed, but Roddy's next sentence made them raise their heads suddenly—
只是 "It's just that I hope ... tomorrow, we can take advantage of the orc camp."
