"Your Majesty the Duke..."
Matilda raised her hand and interrupted the adjutant's report, "Do what you should do."
"Yes!" The adjutant hammered his right fist on his heart and bowed before leaving.
Matilda looked at Rogge hugging him with interest, with an unknown smile on her face.
"Uh...Mr. Duke Matilda, what do you want from me?" Rogge was not shy, but he couldn't stand being stared at by this strong woman.
Matilda casually sat down next to Rogge and said, "Have you calculated that I will appear nearby with the Viper Knights?"
"Well, based on the speed of the heavy cavalry, it is not difficult to deduce that the Viper Knights are just east of Garin City."
When Rogge passed the Garin Orphanage and arrived near Garin City, he observed the number of monsters and found that even if they came to support, they could not save the city from being destroyed.
Garin City needed reinforcements, and after thinking hard, Rogge found this reinforcements.
Among all the spirit beasts, the fastest flying ones are not Canxing and Xuanqing, but the Spirit King-level Thunder Spirit Eagle Lei Yin. Moreover, Lei Yin's eyes are extremely sharp and his reconnaissance range is large, allowing him to find troops on the ground faster.
So Rogge asked Madeleine and Leiyin to search for the Viper Knights at the approximate location he deduced and bring them over to relieve Jialin's troubles.
Matilda clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "Roger, you are amazing."
Rogge thought of the question he had yet to think of the answer to, smiled self-deprecatingly, and replied: "I'm nothing special, I just think more than others."
Matilda has so much experience, she can tell at a glance that Roger has something on his mind.
The mighty Duchess comforted him and said: "Roger, I don't know what you are struggling with, but look carefully. You have great trust in that amazing little girl in your arms and the brightest star in our empire." You and your companions all believe in you, so what else do you have to worry about?"
"I've seen a few people like you, but they're so smart that they can't see themselves clearly."
"The Duke is still alive and well."
"I've just lived longer than you. I'm old and ugly. I can't compete with these little girls even if I want to." Matilda glanced at Roger with an aggressive look.
"Uh... Your Excellency, the Duke is still beautiful." Rogge said something polite, but it was actually the truth.
Wearing armor, Matilda is definitely worthy of the term heroic. She maintains a look that is both strong and beautiful at the age of thirty, and is different from Philia.
"As for me, I'm still not as good as before. I think when I was young, I could hook my fingers casually and no man could catch me. I'm no worse than your Philiya."
"I can imagine how beautiful you were in the past, but I admire you even more now. Sir Duke, thank you for your timely assistance and saving this city of Garin." Rogge thanked Matilda seriously.
Matilda returned the gift solemnly and said: "I want to thank you on behalf of Garin and the entire northwest empire. If you hadn't asked that little girl riding the spirit eagle to come to me, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened. If the swarm of monsters is allowed to wreak havoc, not only Garin City, but also the northwest front will collapse."
"Your Majesty the Duke..."
"I said, call me Matilda."
"...Matilda, you don't seem surprised by the behavior of these monsters?"
Matilda is a person who can see through people's hearts, and Roger is not bad either. If most people saw the abnormal situation of this monster, they would definitely ask about it immediately. But Matilda didn't, which shows that she already knew it.
Sure enough, Matilda said: "I've known about the alien magic crystal infection for a long time. Roger, I watched Charles grow up. If he can't believe me, then no one in the entire empire can believe him." of people.”
"Did Emperor Charles expect the outbreak of the monster wave?"
"No, if there were, the academy competition would not be allowed to continue."
"Then you have to tell him the news quickly."
"You don't have to worry about that. Charles has his own intelligence channels. He is pretty much under control of everything that happens in the country." Matilda looked at Rogge curiously, "You shouldn't have thought of this. .”
Rogge closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows with his hands and said, "I'm a little tired."
After fighting all night, Rogge was still in a state of sharing half of the backlash from the Soul of the Sun, and Rogge was a little confused.
"Then why don't you lie on sister's lap for a while?" Matilda patted her thigh.
Rogge's whole body was trembling, and his mind suddenly became clearer. He glanced at the legs of his older sister, who was over a hundred years old, and felt that although they were very reliable, they were not suitable for him.
"Uh... no need." Rogge changed the subject. "Matilda, the Viper family's territory is in the south of the Twilight Forest. I'm afraid it is also under attack from the beast tide. Aren't you worried?"
Matilda didn't look serious and said, "I'm worried, but our Viper family will not be defeated so easily."
Rogge asked in confusion: "Have you brought out all the elite members of the Viper Knights? Is there any other power that can stop the beast tide?"
"Who told you that the Viper Knights only have cavalry? The northwest front is far away from my family's territory, so the infantry regiment did not take action. The heavy armored infantry regiment of my Viper family is enough to stop this beast tide to the north of Tian Viper City!"
Tianvi City, an important town in the southern part of the empire, a majestic city, and the capital of the Viper family territory.
After hearing this, Rogge felt much more at ease.
Since Matilda is so confident, the beast tide in the south of the empire is nothing to worry about.
The southeast is supported by Odens and defended by the second prince Charlison, which is no problem.
They had just repelled the beast tide in the north. Although many second-stage monsters escaped back to the forest and not all were killed, the number of monsters was greatly reduced and the threat was not great.
The northeast is close to the territory of the Lion Family. Rogge believes that the Lion Family, which was not active in sending troops to the northwest war, will definitely not let the beast tide wreak havoc in their territory.
In this way, only a relatively narrow strip of land along the southwest coast is left, and the people there may have suffered.
It's a pity that the Iron Wall Mountains are blocking the way between the Nalan Empire and the Orc Alliance in the west. Otherwise, if they were to be guided, the orcs might be able to taste the ravages of Warcraft.
There is also the group of flying monsters whose whereabouts are unknown. Rogge thought of this and asked: "Matilda, I speculate that the flying monsters will attack Holk City in an air attack. Do you have the whereabouts of the flying monsters?"
Matilda heard this and said seriously: "No, why did you make this inference?"
"We went straight through the entire Dusk Forest and found that there were very few flying monsters. This is not normal."
"So you suspect they gathered together? Why Holk City?"
"The tide of beasts must have been deliberately caused by the strange demons. The purpose is probably to cause chaos in the empire. At present, attacking Holk City is the most direct and effective way to create chaos."
"Flying monsters are much faster than other monsters. We may be too late. Maybe Lord Garin has information." Matilda stood up, "Rogge, take your two girls and go find them with me." City Lord."
Roger made no move.
He only has one pair of hands. If he wants to bring two girls with him, that's fine, but the posture will be very indecent.
Matilda laughed out loud and said, "Shall I give you a hug?"
It was not appropriate for the great Duke to hug someone in public.
Just when Rogge wanted to call back Canxing, who had gone somewhere, Filia, who was leaning on his shoulder, said, "No need."
"Filia, how do you feel?" Rogge would ask every time Filia woke up.
"I took a nap and felt more energetic. By the way, Aunt Matilda didn't tease you, did she?"
"No." Rogge said without changing his expression.
Matilda, who was very dissatisfied with her elders, put her hands on her hips and said, "Auntie, Xiaoya, I told you to call me sister!"
"...My father calls you aunt, but it's no longer right for me to call you aunt."
"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own thing," Matilda insisted.
"...Sister." Philiya was not a rigid person. Adhering to the principle of respecting the elderly, she gave up her struggle and followed Matilda.
Matilda, who was even a fraction older than Filia, burst into laughter. Great wind
"Let's go." Rogge picked up Ophina, who was still sleeping soundly, and walked to the city lord's mansion first.
…………
Earl Webster was not at the city lord's palace. This diligent city lord liked to do everything himself and was cleaning the battlefield with the city defense army.
Rogge saw that many civilians were also involved, and even replaced many tired soldiers and became the main force in the post-war work.
The adventurers spontaneously took on the role of vigilance and conducted a blanket search in the city to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
"Earl Webster, please stop for a moment. I have something to ask you." Matilda found the Lord of Garin City who was meditating with an abnormal magic core.
Webster saw the person coming clearly, and hurriedly saluted solemnly, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, thank you for lending a helping hand to save Garin City from the fire! I and the people of the city must..."
Matilda waved her hand and interrupted him, "No need to say polite words, let's talk about business. Does your lord, Sir, have any news about a large group of flying monsters?"
Webster nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Where did they go?"
"According to the scout report, heading north!"
Matilda and Roger looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, the monsters have not been eradicated yet. Please consolidate the defense of Garin City as soon as possible and strengthen the alert!" Matilda ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!" Webster hesitated for a moment, then asked the doubt in his heart, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, no matter in the records or since the founding of the empire, there has never been such a tide of beasts in the Twilight Forest. What is it? What caused the beast tide to break out? Why does this Warcraft Demonic Core look like this? And why are those warriors so crazy?"
"Warrior?" Matilda asked confused.
"'The holy fire burns out, and the prosperous age lasts forever! For the Holy King to come to the world!' They shouted such slogans, attacked friendly forces, and then... exploded like a human bomb."
Matilda looked at Rogge again. Unfortunately, Rogge couldn't give her an answer this time.
"Your Majesty, please do your work first. I will answer your questions one by one later."
Webster bowed his head and continued his work.
"Rogge, Holk City needs support. The Viper Knights have a day off and will set off on time tomorrow morning."
The heavy-armored cavalry of the Viper Knights marched at high speed for several days and then charged all night. They were exhausted and needed to rest.
"Well, leave part of it to protect Garin City."
"This is natural. Leave half of it, that's enough. You guys..."
"Gululu!"
"what sound?"
Matilda looked towards the source of the sound and found that the little girl in Rogge's arms was looking at her with big innocent eyes. She was so cute.
"Ah..."
"Call sister!" Matilda quickly interrupted.
Ofina blinked her eyes and said, "Aunt and sister Matilda, I'm so hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"
