Chapter 104

Everyone stayed in this town for two days. The guards under his command began to think that it would be better to ask local guards to escort them. If there were escorts of hundreds of troops, even if the assassin was brave, he would never dare to stroke the tiger's beard.

However, before the proposal was expressed, it was privately rejected by several guards. They all had a thought in their minds: the dignified Duke Duke's guard was unable to protect the Duke's safety when facing a single assassin. They also had to find a local defender to protect him. If they said it, don't say it would make others laugh, just draw your sword and wipe your neck first!

Roddy stayed in the room for a long time that day, and when she came out, the gloom on her face was swept away. She just ordered everyone to stay in the town for two days, and no longer stayed outside to watch out when staying.

Dark actually lurked around Roddy and his group. He hid in an abandoned attic not far from where they lived. In the past two days, he secretly observed Roddy and his group's movements in the attic. Seeing that the other party was extremely cautious, he no longer kept vigil every night and rarely came out to do it during the day. He hid in the room, and all the daily necessities needed were sent in by people. For two consecutive days, Dark did not find any opportunity to start.

But Dake is very patient. He often pursues a wolf in the grassland for seven or eight days in order to hunt for a wolf, and does not feel tired when sleeping in the open. This time, facing his enemies, he was even more energetic and was patient and waited for opportunities. Not to mention two days, he would not be irritable even if he waited for twenty days. Anyway, you, Duke Tulip, cannot hide in this place and hide for the rest of his life, right?

Wait until noon on the third day, something strange happened to Dake!

Seeing the gate of Duke Tulip's resident courtyard opened, Dak thought the other party was about to set off, and two horses ran out, but they were the guards under the other party. The two guards rode out horses and whipped, and went far to the south of the town. After waiting for a while, they saw two horses running out of the door, and the two guards rode away to the east of the town.

After waiting for a while, two guards ran out of the yard, but headed towards the north.

Dark was shocked and suspicious. After all, he was only one person. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to keep quiet. Anyway, it was not wrong to follow the Duke of Tulips?

But in the afternoon, the guards who ran out during the day did not come back, which made Dake's doubts even stronger.

Just when Dark was restless, a carriage finally came out. Seeing the remaining guards riding horses and guarding the carriages, heading towards the south.

Dark gritted his teeth, waited for the carriage to walk away, and came out of the attic, hiding his own traces and following them far away.

Along the way, Dake obviously felt that the other party was moving forward very quickly this time. Dake sneered in his heart: What's wrong? Are you afraid of wanting to run away?

With a little sneer, Dake followed far behind. The carriage in the distance was running faster and faster, and finally suddenly turned into a lower road that was inserted horizontally.

Want to walk the path to get rid of me? Dark sneered in his heart: I can catch up with the most cunning wolf, let alone so many people!

Without thinking in his heart, he immediately followed.

Seeing several horses and carriages running quickly into a small wood, Dake followed behind and felt a little alert. After watching from a distance for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and followed quickly.

After running a few steps, I found that the carriage from afar was parked in the middle of the woods, and the guards disappeared.

Dake wrinkled, and raised his twelve-point alertness in his heart. He hid behind a tree and observed carefully for a long time. Suddenly, he realized in his heart: the other party abandoned the carriage and ran away quickly!

He had this idea in his mind, but he still jumped onto the tree carefully, then touched the tree from the tree, and slowly approached the carriage. When he got closer, he saw that the carriage door was wide open, and there was indeed no one inside!

Dark was startled and whispered in anger: "What a Tulip Duke! He actually ran away!" He jumped out of the tree. He carefully looked at the horse hoof marks on the ground, but he felt strange when he saw it. It turned out that from the horse hoof marks, these people were all scattered from all directions and ran away!

Dake felt very hatred in his heart, and he couldn't help but pull out the scimitar and slash it hard on the carriage, making his face pale with anger.

Just when he was angry, a voice suddenly came from a distance from his side: "Mr. Dark! Are you looking for me?"

Dak suddenly turned around and saw a person standing by a tree far away in the woods, his face cold. It was the Tulip Duke who wanted to kill him so quickly!

Dake's heart suddenly jumped, then he looked around, but his heart suddenly became cold!

I saw people standing from all directions, and these people, in groups of two, blocked all directions. Holding a long sword in their hands, slowly pressing towards me.

Dake's face changed drastically. He immediately took off the longbow on his back, pulled out a wolf-toothed arrow from the arrow bag, and shot it at Roddy. From a distance, Roddy smiled coldly, and then he just dodged to the tree trunk next to him, and the arrow shot in vain. Dake was shocked and understood that this was a trap! The other party lured himself into this forest, just to make his most powerful bow and arrow unable to be used! In the dense forest, the power of the archery technique was greatly reduced!

Seeing the guards around him slowly leaning over with the cover of trees, the surrounding circles became smaller and smaller. Dark took a deep breath, threw away the longbow, clasped the scimitar tightly, and shouted loudly: "Come on!"

Many guards gradually walked in, and the encirclement had already trapped Dak in the middle, but they all stopped, but they were all staring at Dak with gritted teeth, waiting for the Duke to rush up and chop the guy into meat paste.

Roddy sighed, separated everyone and walked to the front, looked at Dark with a hint of helplessness on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dark! Long time no see us!"

Dake snorted coldly, slashed the scimitar in his hand, and said loudly: "What nonsense! If you want my life, just come up!"

Roddy frowned and said lightly: "All the way, Mr. Dark has always wanted my life, but I have never taken the initiative to mess with the mud!"

Dark snorted and stared at Roddy and said fiercely: "I said I must kill you! But today I was trapped by you, so I was considered to have fallen into your trick! Why do you say so much?"

Roddy pondered for a while, looked at Dark's face, frowned and said, "Mr. Dark, under Watt Fortress that day, you said that you were old...my father killed your brother. What was going on? I once asked the old men in the army, but they didn't seem to know you. Can you tell me what was going on?"

Dake's face suddenly changed, his eyes were filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you asking for?"

Roddy smiled faintly: "No matter what, you have saved my life. If it weren't for you, I would have died on the northwest grassland."

"Okay!" Dake said fiercely: "It's no big deal to tell you! My brother was a cavalry captain under your father's command back then! But my military position in the army was not high at that time, so naturally no one would know! Your father was in charge of the army and killed countless people back then, so naturally he didn't care much about the name of a small cavalry captain's younger brother!"

"Oh?" Roddy nodded and then asked again: "Then why did your brother die?"

Dark's eyes turned red, and then glared at Roddy and said fiercely: "In a battle, because the cavalry led by my brother delayed the Duke's prescribed time, the other military camps suffered heavy losses... The Duke was furious and executed my brother's military law! Humph! The time was delayed! But he refused to listen to my brother's defense! There were a small group of troops along the way, and my brother kept fighting with his team for two hundred miles before he arrived! But... But your father still said that he had violated the military order and punished him for death! Poor my brother, when he was dying, he was still covered in blood after killing the enemy! He served for the country and fought to the death. Is this the end?"

Speaking of this, Dark's voice choked, and his sharp eyes stared at Roddy's face. Rand beside him was alert and immediately stood next to Roddy, holding the big sword in his hand tightly, looking at Dark vigilantly, guarding against him to suddenly attack.

Roddy felt sad and didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew nothing about what happened back then, but he had been in the army these days. He learned from Zigg and others that the old Duke of Tulip was extremely strict and the military law was strict. When he talked about this, Zigg and others still had a faint look of anxiety on their faces. Now, he heard Dake's statement, I am afraid that it is most likely true.

Roddy has experienced so many flesh and blood flying, and has long understood the truth of "military orders are like mountains" and "kindness is not in charge of soldiers". Although he feels that the old Tulip Duke is too cold, he has no room for maneuver for delaying the fighter plane to be killed.

After pondering for a while, Roddy slowly spoke, "Mr. Dark...you...you go!"

"What?" Before Dark could speak, Rand had already exclaimed.

Dark's face changed drastically, looking at Roddy, his face gloomy: "Duke of Tulip! What trick do you want to do? Or do you want to use any way to cure me?"

Roddy shook her head and waved her hand to signal Rand not to speak. She looked at Dark and said lightly: "Mr. Dark! You saved me and my companion that day. Speaking of which, I owe you two lives! That time, you can't kill me at Watt City. I'll let you go once, which is already a reward for your life! I'll let you go again today, and from now on, we both will not owe each other!"

Dake's face was gloomy and gritted his teeth and said, "You really let me go?"

Roddy nodded and smiled: "Although you hate me to the core, I don't hate you. Although you have attacked me in the past few days and injured a few of my guards, you have not hurt their lives after all. It shows that you are not a person who kills innocent people. If you kill one, I will not let you go today!"

Dark shook his head and didn't believe it, still had a fierce expression and said in a deep voice: "Duke Tulip!! Don't say such things! I tell you, even if you let me go, I will never let you go! If you find an opportunity in the future, I will still come to kill you!"

Roddy nodded, suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Dark, I let you go today, but you must promise me something!"

Before Dark could refuse, Roddy said first: "In three years, you must not come to cause trouble for me again! Three years later, if I don't die, you can come to me and I will give you a chance to fight fairly!"

"What?" Dake sneered and said no, and said he would refuse.

Roddy immediately said again: "Dak! I say something overestimated, you are also a citizen of the empire! You should know that the influence of my current identity in the empire! At this time, Luo Yantar, the northwest grassland, is eyeing the empire's territory at all times! The mountain tribes in the south are cholera! The northern Roland continent is also ready to fight! The wind and clouds are surging in all directions! A big chaos is coming at any time! If I die at this time... think about the consequences yourself! The tulips are there, and the imperial battle flag will not fall! The strong enemies from all directions dare not make trouble rashly! The falling of the tulip battle flag will be a heavy blow to the empire! But the chaos is together, millions of civilians are trapped in the war, and countless families collapse! Humph! Dak, can you bear to watch coldly!"

Speaking of the last few words, Roddy's face gradually became stern.

Dak's body shook violently, and then a confused look appeared in his eyes. Roddy's voice hit his heart like a heavy hammer, and his heart was extremely complicated. Thinking of the consequences in Roddy's words, cold sweat gradually emerged on his forehead, and his face was extremely pale.

Roddy said coldly: "Mr. Dark, you are also a warrior! You have a passionate heart! Do you have the heart to see those things happen?"

With a sudden look, Dark shouted in Roddy's eyes: "Duke Tulip! So what do you mean by three years? Can you solve all these problems in just two years?"

Roddy sighed on the surface and said slowly: "I don't know... but do my best!" But he said in his heart: What three years? I'm afraid that ten years will not solve these problems! But three years later, I will stop doing this Tulip Duke, and I will leave without a trace. You can go to find the real Tulip Duke to take revenge on your own!

A decisive look flashed in Dake's eyes, and the scimitar in his hand was thrown to the ground, and he shouted: "Okay! I promise you!" After that, he glanced at Roddy again and said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise? Are you afraid that after I leave, I will assassinate you?"

Roddy laughed loudly and said, "I look at people with my own eyes! If you misjudged your character, you deserve it even if you killed it!" But he said in his heart: Come again? I have already paid back your life-saving grace. I won't be polite if I catch you. Humph, will I still be cruel if I kill one or two people?

Dark nodded, without looking at Roddy, turned around and walked to the left. Under Roddy's sign, several guards made way and let Dark leave.

Dark walked about a hundred steps away, suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted: "Duke of Tulip! Those things may not be enough for three years! I will give you ten years! I, Dark, have a clear grudge! I am not that kind of trustless villain!"

After saying that, he strode away.

Roddy smiled bitterly and thought to himself: Is it ten years? That's good. Ten years later, you go and find the real Site to take revenge! You hate Duke Tulip, but you let me take the blame...

Someone who was far away in the imperial capital felt a chill on his back while sleeping, then turned over and fell asleep again.
