Chapter 261 Trouble

"Don't you really don't eat?" Nidis sat on the chair with a relaxed expression, with the dinner delivered by the officer under her just now in front of her. She was holding a grilled fish in her hand and said with a faint smile: "Do you like to watch people eat?"

Roddy just frowned and did not answer.

It has been two whole days. Nidise, the guy who was secretly following, hid in Roddy's room and did not show up. Roddy ordered that no one would come in without his permission. Three meals a day were delivered by someone.

I don't know what kind of psychology I have, Roddy doesn't want others to know about Nidise's existence.

Nidise gracefully picked up the cup, drank the last drop of milk from the last cup, then leaned back comfortably, and laughed, "Okay, I'm done."

Roddy looked at the other party coldly, walked over to sweep away the remaining food like a wind and clouds, and then said lightly: "Okay, go back to sleep!"

Nidise sighed: "Do you don't understand any politeness? Why are you always so cold and inhumane?"

Roddy's eyes finally stopped on Nidise and said lightly: "Then tell me what's going on about the dwarves."

Nidise smiled sly: "I said, unless you promise me to take me ashore at the destination! Otherwise, you can't imagine that I will tell you something!"

Roddy frowned and his face darkened: "You have guessed that we are going to fight and we still have to follow us? Let me tell you, then you can stay on the boat honestly! Don't think about going anywhere!"

Nydise said annoyed: "Do you think I'm obedient?"

Roddy shrugged: "You are disobedient, and I will knock you out then."

The two stared at each other for a long time, and refused to give in at all. Finally, Nidith burst into laughter and whispered: "Okay, I won't argue with you. Well... I want to take a shower! Get me water!"

"What do you want?" Roddy seemed shocked.

"Take a bath!" Nydise said with confidence: "I have been bored here for two days and haven't taken a bath! Have you never taken a bath?!"

Roddy really smiled this time, but just smiled bitterly: "Take a bath...you really want to make trouble...Don't you know 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 food during the marching..."

Nidith glanced Roddy: "As you, can you live in such a large room and eat such good food, and still have no water for bathing?"

The two of them stared at each other for a long time again, and Roddy finally sighed, "Okay, I'll make arrangements for you."

He turned around and was about to go out, and Nidise went and called him again: "Wait!"

Roddy said impatiently: "So what's wrong?"

"There are clothes!" Nidise's face seemed a little flushed: "I've been wearing this outfit for two or three days."

Roddy was speechless, and then slammed the door and left.

It seemed that the king really liked Roddy, and everyone on the ship would do whatever he asked. After a while, several officers carried a few buckets of hot water into Roddy's room. However, the clothes seemed not easy to get along with. There were no women's clothes on the ship, and Roddy did not dare to ask them for women's clothes. He just sent a set of ordinary military uniforms.

A few steaming buckets were placed in the outside room. When the officers walked out, Nidise came out of the inside door.

The room was covered in mist with water vapor, and Nidise seemed a little shy: "You...why are you doing here? Get out quickly!"

Roddy smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going out? I just asked them for hot water to take a shower. How can I go out now?" He said lightly, "You wash here, I'll just go inside and avoid it."

"No!" Nidith's face turned redder, and she pushed Roddy out hard and shouted, "You are not allowed here!"

Roddy was helpless. With Nidis's strength, he could not push him at all. It was just that the girl wanted to take a bath, so she couldn't force herself to stay.

After leaving the cabin door, Roddy sighed, looked around and saw that no one was near the door. He sighed. After thinking about it, he decided to go to find the king.

The king's face turned paler, and even his breath was a little weak. After several guards outside the door let Roddy in, Roddy said in a deep voice: "According to our itinerary, we should be here tomorrow, right? We should be able to see the land before dawn tomorrow."

After waiting for a while, seeing that the king did not respond, Roddy frowned and said, "Should you be anxious to give orders from his officers?"

A little deeper appeared in the king's eyes and he whispered: "It's not the time."

Roddy pondered for a while and whispered: "According to the distribution of the dwarves along the coast, the landing site we selected in advance will have a valley fifteen miles deep inland. Through that valley, it is one of their medium towns. The garrison troops there are about 15,000. I guess they will have a small group of rangers patrolling around the town. After landing, my idea is that I personally lead a team of cavalry to attack quickly, take the town as a stronghold as quickly as possible, and at the same time, you can get some supplies there..."

Roddy was talking about his thoughts carefully, but when he looked at the king, he squinted his eyes, as if he didn't listen carefully.

"Your Majesty, have you listened to my words?" Roddy felt a little strange.

The king stood up, looked at an hourglass next to him, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Okay, let's talk about these things later. In three hours, I will order the fleet to stay for a while, and then summon the officers from various warships to gather here. Let's talk about your ideas at that time."

Roddy was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the king's attitude was really weird, and he couldn't help but say, "Let's talk about it then?" He tried hard to suppress a trace of anger and said in a deep voice: "If you hope the battle goes well, it's best that we will make up our plan to march now!"

The king seemed to be thinking, and his eyes kept looking at the hourglass next to him. After a quarter of an hour, the king finally spoke: "Rody, have you ever seen the spirit fox?"

Roddy frowned.

The king continued to laugh and said, "The fox is a wild beast with extremely precious fur. It is small and beautiful, but also very cunning. In the aristocratic circles of Roland, many noble ladies like to keep this animal as a pet."

Roddy calmed down. He knew that the king must have intentions for these words, so he simply sat down and listened quietly to the other party.

"It's a pity that this animal is extremely strange by nature. Adult spirit foxes are absolutely unable to be tamed! Even if they catch adult spirit foxes, they will struggle until they die. Therefore, if they want to tame the spirit foxes and become pets, they can only catch young little spirit foxes!"

The king said slowly, "But there is another special thing about this kind of spirit fox. There are only two small young spirit foxes in the nest of a spirit fox. If the hunter directly touches the fox's nest and wants to capture them, the adult spirit fox will immediately bit the little spirit fox to death! It would rather die than let them be captured! This is a strange creature."

"And these spirit foxes are very cunning and smart, and rarely leave their nests." The king smiled: "But fortunately, they still have to hunt! When experienced hunters find the fox's nest, they often put a hare around them first to lure the adult spirit fox out. Then...hehe..."

Roddy's heart suddenly sank, and his face changed slightly: "What do you mean by saying this?"

The king put away his smile and whispered: "The dwarves have always been suspicious and cunning. Do you really think that we can deceive them according to our plan? Although this plan seems feasible, there are still loopholes in it! We can only succeed this time, not fail, so we must find a way to make up for these loopholes..."

The king raised a few fingers and said intentionally or unintentionally: "First, we mobilize the army on such a large scale, even if we have tried our best to keep it a secret. However, the news will inevitably leak out in such a large scale! Second, our internal body may not be a piece of steel! If others don't say it, the right prime minister's position has always been very subtle... I believe that with your intelligence, you won't be able to see this? With the status of the right prime minister, can our army mobilization conceal his eyes and ears?"

The king sighed and continued, "If we fight the dwarves, the temple will naturally not sit idly by. If the right prince really turns to the temple... Humph, his tone gradually becomes gloomy: "Then the temple doesn't have to come forward on its own. Just find a way to reveal the news to the dwarves... Our sneak attack will become an open attack! Then there will be no advantage at all!"

Roddy calmed down and said slowly: "Continue."

"So..." the king smiled and said, "So according to our original plan, it will definitely not work... Then we have to make some adjustments. If... if... if the dwarves are spirit foxes and their country is spirit fox nests, then in order to touch the spirit fox nests, they must first lure their army...well, it should be said that the adult spirit fox came out..."

"So actually our fleet is just that hare, it's bait!" Roddy said coldly: "Our fleet is not planning to attack? It's just luring the opponent's fleet over? Right?"

The king did not refute and said calmly: "Yes! Even the right Prime Minister thought that our fleet was a real offensive force! We cannot take this risk! Do you still remember the last fleet transported to the Light Continent a few days before our fleet set off..."

Roddy said coldly: "That fleet is the real offensive force, right? We support pretending here, and then attract the dwarfs' sea fleet, and then the fleet that set out in front can land successfully!" His eyes were filled with anger, as sharp as a blade, staring straight at the king's face.

As if he felt Roddy's anger, the king sighed, and then he coughed a few times and said in a deep voice: "According to the information, the dwarf fleet seems to have really obtained our news and seem to have noticed our original plan. Their navy did not follow and monitor the previous fleet all the way, but had returned on the day we set off... If the right prince is really from the temple and really reveals the news, then if I guessed correctly, the dwarf naval fleet is not far away from us now!"

"Hahahaha..." Roddy suddenly laughed wildly, and his laughter was filled with anger and suddenly stood up: "Good means! It's true that good means! In order to attract the dwarf navy, you actually sent so many warships? There are so many soldiers... Well, no!" Roddy raised her head, stared at the king, and said coldly: "Since it's bait, then there are no need for so many soldiers! If I guess correctly, there are not many troops on the fleets of those ships we brought this time, right?"

"Yes." The king admitted it very simply: "There are less than 20,000 soldiers on it."

Seeing Roddy's face not surprised, the king sighed: "I know you must be very angry now, but as an experienced army commander, I believe you will understand the difficulties we have done so. Your Majesty also said, I believe you will understand our approach."

"What did you say? Your Majesty..." Roddy's muscles jumped suddenly.

The king sighed, and a white light suddenly turned into his body. Under the light, his face muscles gradually changed, and his body seemed to be wrapped in the light. His appearance changed in an instant!

"You are..." Roddy gritted her teeth and said, "You are the leader of the Magic Society, Master Sith! I have seen you!"

Sith's old face showed a little apology: "I'm sorry, in order to make others believe that this fleet is a real offensive force, I have to pretend to be the king and board the ship with you! So I have to use 'transformation' to become the king."

Roddy sneered, "Very good!" He stared at the Sith and said hatefully, "Then why should I bring me in again? Since our fleet is bait anyway, why do you have to participate in this plan?"

Sith's face became serious and said in a deep voice: "Because we really need you. In fact, we cannot lose you in this action."

His expression suddenly became strange: "Rody, do you really think that the Kingdom of Sauron cares about the iron wood resources of the dwarves? Yes, after conquering the territory of the dwarves, perhaps we can really master this precious resource and from then on, we will command many kingdoms on the Roland Continent. But is this simple reason enough for us to take the risk of launching this war?"

Roddy's heart moved and suddenly remembered what he had talked with Seit in the palace a few days before departure.
