Act 74 Year 0 Coincidence IV

"There is an ancient dwarf kingdom under the mountains of Anzeruta. They are a branch of the Broken Sword Mountain Range. When this kingdom dug a tunnel down, it accidentally dug through a large beehive. After that, the underground was full of monsters. The kingdom Then they perished, and the remaining dwarves also migrated westward, and the map of the underground kingdom was lost. Now that dark labyrinth is full of dangers, and it takes unimaginable risks to pass through it, and even if they ignore these difficulties, the dwarves will Digging a passage from the hard rock to connect these lost tunnels is not something that can be done in a month or two." Nimesis replied.

After being reminded by Nimesis, Brando also remembered such a thing. After all, he was not familiar with Cruz and Aruin, so he asked this question.

After hearing the weird incident that happened to Earl Jean, he first suspected that these nobles were playing some kind of conspiracy, but then he thought about what kind of trick Torquening's lion man played to bypass Rokozy—— The Sword Mountain Fortress group attacked the empire as in history. This was a premonition that had long been lurking in his heart, but after discussing it now, he found that there was no possibility. The thoughts that finally became clear returned to chaos, and he had to stop Awaiting further information.

Twenty minutes later, the first group of gargoyles who went to Vargus returned slowly. Metisa found him with the development crystal removed from the gargoyle, and replied hesitantly: "My lord..."

"What's wrong?"

Metisa shook her head slightly, different from Ciel's frivolity, the little silver elf princess never said big words, guaranteed the ticket, and only handed the development crystal to Brando: "My lord, please take a look for yourself. "

Brando took over the development crystal-this kind of recording crystal is not uncommon in Warnd, but it is not common. It can record several three-to-five-minute sound images, which can be preserved for several years to decades, Buga People dared to place them on every gargoyle, which is enough to prove the wealth of the mages-he injected magic power into it, and the crystal shone brightly, and then showed the picture seen by the gargoyle flying high in the sky. In the picture, the forest resembles It was a thick carpet, bordered by patches of various shades, that were farmland, dotted with red roofs, barns, windmills, or other buildings.

No one spoke, and Nimesis and Brando had already recognized that this was the countryside of Vargos, an imperial pastoral scenery, but then they saw a strange scene, gargoyles flew over the town, and the red roofs It began to become denser, and several roads passed through the bustling market like veins, but Nuoda was a big town, but there were no pedestrians on the street, and no flocks of flying birds could be seen on the dense tree shade, like a ghost town. Then they found strange things in the square of Vargus, which looked like scattered gravel, and Brando carefully distinguished them before recognizing that they were all human beings or similar creatures, but they were standing The square was motionless, like a stone statue.

"What's going on?" Charles asked in amazement, "Could it be that there was a sudden monster attack near Vargus?

The whole area is being attacked by dead-eye wyverns or basilisks? "

Brando shook his head. Dead-eyed wyverns are not herd creatures. They mostly act alone outside the mating period. Petrified lizards are creatures with a strong sense of territory and will not rush into the human world. These two monsters are not big It is possible to turn a human town into a ghostly creature. The only possibility is that this is an organized attack. He already has a candidate in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Nimesis. The same guess was seen in the eyes.

"The people of the Queen of the Serpent, the cursed forever."

"Medusa." Charles gasped, "They're not underground in Qiaogendigang, how could they come to the surface so easily?"

It is true that the underground dwellers will not easily go to the surface world. It is a long and difficult journey to pass through the large beehive above the 'dome' from the Jorgendigang, and then cross the underground cavity area of ​​the 'shallow surface' and the river channel of groundwater infiltration. A journey full of dangers. Tajib and his people once walked this road. During that migration, countless cavemen died on the road, from disappearance, monster attacks, and the most terrible diseases and hunger. If necessary, they still dare to make this attempt, which is the unique tenacity of the underground people.

"I remember," Brando pondered for a moment: "The residents of Qiaogendigang also believe in the goddess of the earth, right—"

"That's impossible!" Charles replied with a little surprise: "The residents of the underground believe in the goddess above, and the residents on the surface believe in the goddess below. Although the two beliefs have the same origin, but that It was already a thousand years ago. Since the Great Split, the dwarves and lions on the surface no longer interacted with the dwarves and other peoples underground. How did they come together, let alone contact in such a short period of time? ?”

Before the era of the Great Split, the surface and the underground did believe in a goddess, but since the War of the Saints, due to various problems such as the loss of faith, the current Temple of the Earth is no longer what it used to be, and even the Goddess in the Broken Sword Mountains The three sacred objects of the original Earth Temple also disappeared one by one. Since then, many sects that originally believed in the Goddess of the Earth have been in dispute. Thousands of years.

Of course Brando knew this, but at the moment he had a more gloomy thought circling in his mind: What are the Lions waiting for on the other side of Rokozy, the Broken Sword Mountain Fortress?

He looked at Nimesis, and the female knight frowned and nodded slightly at him.

"How sure are you?" He asked meaningfully.

"If the assailant is indeed from Qiao Gendigang, then there is a 100% chance that the lion man's strange behavior has something to do with it." The female knight replied calmly.

Everyone fell silent, thinking in their hearts whether this line of defense would be able to hold up if Torquinin's golden-maned lionmen joined forces with Qiaogendigang's underground residents to launch a pincer attack on Rokozy, the Broken Sword Mountain fortress group. "Rokoz—the fortresses of the Broken Sword Mountain Range may be in danger." Even Shire was taken aback when he said this. Although he claimed to be well-informed, knowledge made people silent. In his eyes, the strength of the empire is detailed data, analysis and rational thinking, like a mighty Cruz golden eagle woven from feathers, detailed in every detail, but its sharp claws and beak let you understand how powerful it is degree.

Rokozy——The Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group is the long-running defense line of the empire. It is between the mountains, and the frost and snow on the highlands make it solid. Telling about its ruthlessness and indifference; it is an insurmountable moat, even if the lion man can capture one or two of the fortresses, it is a frivolous joke in anyone's heart to say that they can defeat the entire defense line.

But these words sounded extraordinarily calm when they fell into the ears of Brandoni Mesis. This was something they had expected a long time ago. The shock brought by the first time and the second time were completely different. Having witnessed the fall of that invincible line of defense, he appears calm now instead. "Although it's just a speculation, we have to prepare for the worst. Assuming everything is true, where is Qiao Gendigang's army now, how big is it, Rokozy—the loss of the fortress group in the Broken Sword Mountain Range, We all have to re-evaluate, the key is, the threat that is close at hand-whether the Georgian army that wiped out Earl Alcons's army is aware of our existence, we must first confirm the danger around us." Brando thought for a moment and replied.

Nimesis glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

Charles also looked at his lord in surprise: "Martha, my lord, I almost thought that you also graduated from the Royal Knight Academy. This is the knowledge of mercenaries. Did Ta learn this trick?"

This flattery was just right, and Brando couldn't help but replied with some amusement: "There are still many things you don't know."

"That is, otherwise, why are you the lord and I'm just a small follower." Charles smiled slightly and teased indifferently.

Metisa also covered her mouth with a smile, and then asked: "My lord, what should we do next?"

"Call other people first, this is a big event, let them know first."

"Otherwise that princess will say that you don't respect them again." Metisa replied with a smile: "Arbitrary and self-willed."

"Yeah, I'm getting annoyed by her." Brando sighed and replied pretending to be helpless.

The little princess couldn't help giggling.

...

"Get the hell out of here, you bloody bastard!"

Rodgers roared and stabbed the caveman in the chest with his sword, then raised his leather boots and kicked it down the stairs, but because of too much force, he couldn't even pull out his own sword. I can only watch it and that disgusting creature roll down the dark corridor. But in an instant, he saw one or two flashes of light flashing in the darkness, his heart trembled, he quickly lowered his head, and there were two bang bangs, two spears had been inserted into the door frame above his head, and the spears The tail was still trembling slightly, he was startled, he didn't bother to grab his sword back, he hurriedly took a step back, closed the door, and then dragged the cabinet and bed next to him against the door.

A moment later, there was the sound of two heavy objects hitting the door, followed by a squeaking scream.

Rogers breathed a sigh of relief, turned around covered in blood, and looked at the four people left in the empty room with a wry smile. Out of the twelve people, they were the only ones left now. Since the Nidvan era, the Cruz royal family has placed spies and eyes and ears all over the empire, and they are the inner court knights stationed at Hirat Mountain Villa. Their mission is not to participate in local defense. Right now, these monsters simply do not know where they come from. There were so many people who came to entangle them, and they suffered heavy losses overnight, so they had to flee into this farm to protect themselves.

But in fact, everyone else understands that the so-called self-protection may not last long.

A tall, curly-haired man was walking away from the window. He lowered the curtains, and the light in the room dimmed immediately. Then he shrugged and said to the others: "Honey, they've surrounded the outside, and they seem to be trying to show us, Rogers You killed a lot of these ghost things, I think they probably don't intend to let you go. Do you have any last words, maybe if I survived by luck, I can engrave them on the epitaph for you—"

"Lord Rogers, Xi Kun is no longer able to die." In a corner of the room, the female knight holding her companion covered in blood raised her head and said sadly. The knight in her arms had a bone-deep scar on his chest. The fatal wound was on the back of his head. The female knight was holding one hand there, and the blood flowed down her gauntlet like a stream.

"Pray for him, Nasha." Rogers sighed.

The only person in the room who did not speak was a young man in a robe. He was concentrating on putting the parchment in his hand into the fire in the middle of the room. This matter is an extremely sacred work for him.

Rogers glanced at the young man, shook his head, and asked the others, "What is that, have you seen it clearly?"

"Have you ever heard of it, it seems to be a shooting star—hey, it's a pity that I didn't have time to make a wish," the tall man continued, "But we met these cavemen on the way, I suspect that there is no way to make a wish." There is no connection, this ghost thing usually doesn't come to the surface."

Rogers was silent for a while, before he said with certainty: "I don't think this matter is that simple, we have to find a way to notify His Majesty."

The female knight silently prayed for her companions, but the young man who burned the documents raised his head to look at the others, and replied concisely: "It can't be done."

"Can't do it?" Rogers stared at this companion in puzzlement. Kui was the most outstanding wizard among them. No matter what the situation, he could always convey the magic message.

The young man didn't speak, just stretched out his five fingers. Everyone saw a trace of flame flash between his fingertips, but it was fleeting, leaving a few light golden-red lines, and then disappeared into the air.

"What's going on here?" The tall man couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Did your tricks fail? It's impossible, Kui, you are the best."

The young man glanced at them and replied, "Magic is out of order."

"What do you mean?" Rogers frowned.

"Something is disturbing the law."

"What is it?"

"More powerful spells, artifacts, or some unknown existence." The boy replied.

Rogers' face became a little dignified: "If all the coincidences come together, then it's probably not a coincidence, Kui, Nasha, Trevor, I think the worst may have happened."

"Could anything be worse than this?" the tall man asked.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a heavy knocking sound from outside the door, followed by a crisp rattling sound, and the wooden door had already cracked a hole. He stared in that direction dumbfounded, while the others looked at him angrily, and the latter could only helplessly spread his hands: "Well, I'm a crow's mouth, pretend I didn't say anything!"

Rogers untied the long sword from the seriously injured knight, and then said to the others: "We have to try to break through, Your Majesty is still waiting for our news."

As he spoke, he drew out his long sword.

...

Brando's orders began to be issued one by one, and the security range outside the envoy was first expanded, and gargoyles were flying in the sky all the time, beware of the possible Jorgen Digan's army. However, the open hills and forest areas around the mission were no different. Brando further expanded the search area and sent young sentinel cavalry belonging to the White Lion Guard to Vargus and Forest Leaf Avenue. The hard work was not in vain, and soon these sentinel cavalry found out really valuable information.

The cavalry avoided the main road and entered the area of ​​Vargos and Forest Leaf Avenue along the densely covered rural trails in the Cloud Hills area. They did not bump into any Jorgendigan army along the way, but they came from near Vargos. When he passed by the village of Ya, he happened to meet a small group of cavemen besieging a nearby farm. The captain of the sentinel cavalry was a non-commissioned student who graduated from the Royal Knights Academy. He immediately judged that there might be survivors in the manor, so Immediately led his men to kill those cavemen and rescued the people inside.

Brando quickly met these people.

It was a group of four people, three men and one woman. When they were brought to Brando by the sentry cavalry, they looked more or less embarrassed—these people were dressed like the children of the most common country gentleman in the empire, Wearing thick wool coats, hats with feathers, and buckskin boots, but their faces looked very determined. Although they were covered with blood and mud, two of them were still seriously injured, but He didn't look scared or dazed, just a little tired. Then Brando noticed that these people were wearing long swords at a second glance. Although the swords were of different styles, there were all kinds of them, but their sword-holding postures were very standard, neither like the ostentation of gentry and nobles , not like soldiers of the empire, but rather like knights of the inner court.

After pondering for a while, Brando understood the identities of these people. He couldn't help thinking that his sentinel cavalry were lucky enough to let them bring back a few secret agents of the Cruz royal family, but then he thought again. Somewhat relieved, only these inner court knights with extraordinary martial arts were more likely to survive this sudden attack and have survived until now.

While Brando was looking at the inner court knights, Rogers was also looking at the Earl. Seriously speaking, did he know each other? On the contrary, he knew the identity and origin of the other party very well, even before that. He knew everything that happened from the Black Sword barrier until the opponent arrived here. In fact, it was he who personally sealed the news of the arrival of the Eruin envoys in the envelope with the seven-fold flame emblem, stamped it with the seal of Hirat Villa, and delivered it to the White Rose Garden among.

In the previous battle, he thought he would die, but he didn't expect to be rescued by these Cruz scout cavalry at the last moment. The first time he saw the strangely dressed cavalry, he knew the identity of the other party, but before he actually saw Brando, he had only heard of the earl in rumors. What he didn't even expect was that the head of the Eruin's envoy was so young, so young that he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. ?

He suddenly understood the reasons for the series of troubles caused by the earl.

With this in mind, Rogers took several of his colleagues and bowed slightly to Brando. The etiquette of this knight has nothing to do with superiority and inferiority, but is just to thank the Eruin for helping them.
