Chapter 261: Trouble trouble

Chapter 261 Trouble, Trouble
"Are you really not eating?" Nedith sat in a chair relaxedly, and in front of her was the dinner sent by her officer. She carried a grilled fish in her hand, and smiled lightly: "Do you have a habit of watching people eat?"
Roddy just frowned and didn't answer.
It has been two full days. Nedith, the guy who followed secretly, hid in Roddy's room faceless. Roddy strictly ordered no one to enter without his permission. Three meals a day are delivered by someone.
I don't know what kind of psychology Roddy doesn't want others to know about the existence of Nedith.
Nedith picked up the cup elegantly, drank the last drop of milk in the last cup, and leaned back comfortably, giggling and saying, "Okay, I'm finished."
Roddy took a cold look at each other, walked over to sweep away the remaining food like a windstorm, and then said lightly: "Okay, you go back to sleep!"
Nedith sighed, "Don't you know anything about politeness? Why are you always so cold and unkind."
Roddy finally fixed his gaze on Nidis, and said lightly: "Then you tell me about the dwarves."
Nedith smiled slyly: "I said, unless you promise me to take me ashore at the destination! Otherwise, you can never imagine me telling you one thing!"
Roddy frowned and his face sank: "You have guessed that we are going to war, and we still have to follow? I tell you, you will stay on the boat honestly for me then! Don't even think about going anywhere!"
Nidis said annoyed: "Do you think I will be obedient?"
Roddy shrugged: "You are disobedient, and I'll faint you then."
The two stared at each other for a long time, and refused to give in. Finally, Nedith chuckled and whispered: "Okay, I won't fight with you. Um... I want to take a bath! You get me water!"
"What do you want?" Roddy seemed startled.
"Take a bath!" Nidis said confidently: "I have been bored here for two days without a bath! Don't you never take a bath?!"
Roddy really laughed this time, but with a wry smile: "Take a bath...you really want to make trouble...Don't you know that this is above the sea? Every drop of fresh water on the boat is precious ! And we are marching this time. It would be nice to have hot meals during the march..."
Nedith gave Roddy a sideways glance: "As you are, you can live in such a big room. Can you eat such good food, can you still not have bath water?"
The two stared at each other for a long time again, and Roddy finally sighed, "Well, I'll make arrangements for you."
He turned around to go out, Nedith went and called him again: "Wait!"
Roddy said impatiently: "What's wrong?"
"There are clothes!" Nidis's face seemed to be flushed: "I have worn this dress for two or three days."
Roddy was speechless, then slammed the door hard and left.
It seemed that the king really liked Roddy, and the people on the ship did everything he requested. After a while, several officers carried several buckets of hot water into Roddy's room. It's just that the clothes don't seem to be easy to get. There are no women's clothes on the boat, and Roddy dared not ask them for women's clothes. Just sent a set of ordinary military uniforms.
Several steaming buckets were placed in the outside room, and when the officers went out, Nedith came out through the inner door.
The room was steamed with mist and mist, and Nedis seemed a little shy: "You...what are you doing here? Get out!"
Roddy smiled bitterly: "I'm going out? I just asked them for a hot bath, how do I get out now?" He said lightly, "You wash here, I just evade it inside."
"No!" Nedith's face was even more flushed, and she pushed Rody out hard as she went up, shouting: "You are not allowed here!"
Roddy was helpless, and he couldn't push him with Nidis's strength. It was just that other girls wanted to take a bath, so it was difficult for him to stay forcibly.
Out of the cabin door, Roddy sighed, looked left and right and no one was near the door, he sighed. After thinking about it, I decided to go to the king.
The king's face became paler, and even his breath was weakened. A few guards outside let Roddy in. Roddy said in a deep voice, "According to our schedule, it should be tomorrow, right? You should be able to see the land before dawn tomorrow."
After waiting for a while, seeing the king did not respond, Roddy frowned and said, "Is it time to be anxious for the officer to give orders?"
The king's eyes showed a little deep, and he whispered: "It's not time yet."
Roddy pondered for a while, and whispered: "According to the distribution of the dwarven troops along the coast that I have seen, the landing site we selected in advance will be 15 miles inland and there will be a valley, passing through that valley is They are a medium-sized town. The garrison there is about 15,000 troops. I guess they will have a small group of rangers patrolling around the town. After landing, my idea is that I personally lead a group of cavalry to make a quick assault. Take down that town as a stronghold as quickly as possible, and get some supplies there..."
Roddy was carefully talking about his thoughts, but he squinted his eyes when he looked at the king, and didn't seem to listen carefully.
"Your Majesty, did you listen to what I said?" Roddy felt a little weird.
The king stood up, looked at an hourglass next to him, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Well, we'll talk about these things later. After three hours, I will order the fleet to stay for a while, and then summon the officers from the warships to come here. Assemble, let's talk about your ideas at that time."
Roddy was stunned. He only felt that the king’s attitude was a bit weird. He couldn’t help saying,
I’ll talk about it then?
He tried to suppress a trace of anger, and said solemnly,
If you want the battle to go smoothly, it’s better to let us do it now. The plan for the march is finalized!"
The king seemed to be thinking. His gaze kept looking at the hourglass next to him. It took a full quarter of an hour before the king finally said: "Rody, have you seen the spirit fox?"
Roddy frowned.
The king continued to laugh and said, "Ling fox is a kind of beast with extremely precious fur. It is small, beautiful, but also very cunning. In the noble circle of Roland mainland, many noble ladies like to treat this animal as a pet. Come raise it."
Roddy sank. He knew that the king said these words must be of ulterior motives, so he simply sat down and listened to the other side quietly.
"Unfortunately, the nature of this animal is extremely strange. Adult spirit foxes can never be tamed! Even if adult spirit foxes are captured, they will struggle until death, so to tame the spirit fox and become a pet, Can only catch young little spirit foxes!"
The king's words were not rushed or slow, and he slowly said: "But there is another special feature of this kind of spirit fox. There can only be two small young spirit foxes in the nest of a spirit fox, and if the hunter directly touches the fox When the nest wants to capture them, the adult spirit fox will immediately kill the little spirit fox! I would rather die than let them be captured! This is a strange creature."
"And this kind of fox is very cunning and clever, and rarely leaves his den." The king smiled: "Fortunately, they still have to prey! When an experienced hunter finds a fox den, he often puts a hare into it first. Around, lure the adult spirit fox out. Then...hehe..."
Roddy's heart sank suddenly, and his face changed slightly: "What do you mean by this?"
The king put his smile away and whispered: "The dwarves have always been suspicious and cunning. Do you really think you can fool them according to our plan? Although this plan seems feasible, there are still loopholes in it! We only Can succeed but cannot fail, so we must find a way to fill these loopholes..."
The king raised a few fingers, intentionally or unintentionally, and said indifferently: "First, we have mobilized such a large-scale army, even if we have tried our best to keep it secret. But with such a large-scale army mobilization, the news will inevitably be leaked! Second, we It’s not necessarily a piece of steel! If others don’t say it, Lord Righteousness’s position has always been very subtle... This must be your cleverness, can’t you fail to see it? As the righteousness, our army can mobilize energy Have you concealed his eyes and ears?"
The king sighed and continued: "When we fight against the dwarves, the temple will naturally not sit idly by. If you really fall to the temple...humph," his tone gradually became gloomy: "Then the temple doesn't need its own Come forward, just think of a way to reveal this news to the dwarves... Our sneak attack has become a clear attack! Then there is no advantage at all!"
Instead, Roddy calmed down and said slowly: "Go on."
"So..." the king said with a smile: "So according to our original plan, it must not work... Then we have to work around. If... If the dwarves are spirit foxes and their country is the spirit fox den, then for If you can touch the nest of the spirit fox, you must first lure their army... well, it should be said that the adult spirit fox is lured out..."
"So actually our current fleet is just the hare, it's a decoy!" Roddy said coldly: "Our fleet does not intend to attack? It is just to lure the opposing fleet? Right?"
The king did not refute, and calmly said: "Yes! Even the right-hand thinks our fleet is a real offensive force! We can't take this risk! Do you remember the last few days before our fleet set off? Ship the fleet to the Bright Continent..."
Roddy said coldly: "That fleet is the real offensive force, right? We are here to support pretending, and then attract the dwarven sea fleet, and then the fleet that set off in front can land smoothly. Now!" His eyes were angry, faintly sharp as a blade, staring straight at the king's face.
As if he felt Roddy’s anger, the king sighed, then he coughed a few times, and said in a deep voice: "According to intelligence, the dwarven fleet seems to have indeed received our news, and seems to have noticed our original The plan. Their navy did not follow the previous fleet all the way, but returned on the day we set off... If the right image was really from the temple and really revealed the news, then if If I guessed correctly, the naval fleet of the dwarves is not far from us now!"
"Hahahaha..." Roddy laughed wildly, his laughter was full of anger, and he stood up suddenly: "Good means! Really good means! In order to attract the dwarven navy, you actually sent so many The battleship? There are so many soldiers... well, no!" Roddy raised his head, staring at the king, and said coldly: "Since it is a decoy, then there is no need for so many soldiers! If I'm right, There are not many troops on the ships of the fleet we are bringing this time?"
"Yes." The king admitted simply: "One hundred and fifty warships, and all the soldiers on it are less than 20,000."
Seeing that Roddy's face was not surprised, the king sighed: "I know you must be very angry now, but as an experienced army commander, I believe you will understand why we did this. Your Majesty also said that I believe you will be able to understand our approach."
"What are you talking about? Your Majesty..." Rody's eye muscles suddenly jumped.
The king sighed. A white light suddenly appeared on his body. Under that light, his facial muscles gradually changed, and his body seemed to be covered by the light. The appearance has changed!
"You are..." Roddy gritted his teeth: "You are the leader of the Magic Association, Master Sith! I have seen you!"
Sith’s old face showed a bit of apologize: "I’m sorry, in order to convince others that this fleet is a real offensive force, I must pretend to be a king and board with you! So I had to use Transfiguration. Become a king."
Roddy sneered: "Very good!" He stared at Sith and said bitterly: "Then why bother to get me in? Since our fleet is a bait anyway, why must I participate in this plan? "
Sith's face became serious, and he said solemnly, "Because we really need you. In fact, we cannot do without you this time."
His expression suddenly became very strange: "Rody, you really think. Does the Kingdom of Sauron care about the ironwood resources of the dwarves? Yes, after conquering the territory of the dwarves, maybe we can really master this A precious resource has since given orders to the many kingdoms on the Roland Continent. But is this simple reason enough for us to risk this war?"
Roddy's heart moved, and suddenly he remembered what he had talked with Sete in the palace a few days before departure.
