Scene 81 Into the Night I

Brando understood that the inner court knight named Trevor was talking about what happened a day ago. After they left Vargus, they headed north along the Yonghe River and encountered a fierce battle on the north side of Linye Avenue. On the battlefield, the two sides of the war are obviously the private army of the imperial nobles and the underground creatures of Jorgendigan. The battlefield stretching across the long river beach and woodland road is full of humans, ground dragons, griffins, troglodyte and harpies. The corpse of the banshee, the wild blood had long been solidified in the biting low temperature of winter, forming a bright red color on the pebbles. The nobles of Cruz recognized many familiar faces from the pile of corpses——Sir Moore was there Among them, a bone arrow pierced his throat, causing him to fall face up on the battlefield, becoming one of many icy corpses.

Such a scene usually represents the disastrous defeat of the empire. The nobles of Cruz will not easily leave the corpses of their companions for the sake of dignity. The scene of the North Rout.

As for Georgendigon, underground creatures rarely pick up corpses on the battlefield—unless they are short of rations, and the impact of disease on them is even more negligible.

"Brando, they seem to be planning to sneak into the town." Roman suddenly reminded in a low voice, the eyes of the merchant lady gleamed in the twilight, like cat's eyes in a low-light environment.

Brando also noticed this at this time, and he immediately said to Rogers: "Mr. Knight, how can you contact them?"

Rogers thought for a while: "I know that there is a code in the local army in Anzeruta, maybe you can try it."

"Try, but don't let those things above your head find us."

"I understand." Rogers nodded, and crawled into the bushes. He squatted there and glanced at the dark bushes below, then inserted his thumb and index finger into his mouth, and whistled vigorously—the whistle echoed in the In the forest under the twilight, it sounded like the scream of a night owl, but it was obviously sharper. Unsurprisingly, the owl's cry attracted the attention of the harpies above their heads. These monsters drew a huge figure eight in midair and flew towards this direction. The patrolling eyes left, and after a while, the flat-haired beasts didn't find anything unusual, and then flew back again.

Brando was slightly relieved when he heard the voices of other people venting their anger, but the business lady beside him seemed heartless and didn't feel scared at all.

The surroundings became silent, gradually only the thin sound of insects chirping in the darkness remained.

The figures in the hornbeam bushes also stopped. Rogers' forehead was covered with tense cold sweat. He knew several code words of Emperor[***] in the Anzeruta area, but he couldn't tell if it would come in handy at this time. ,

He knew the moral surnames of the private troops of the nobles in these places in his heart. What he was most worried about was not that these guys failed to hear the code, but that they misunderstood the code and did something out of the ordinary. If they attracted the attention of the garrison in the city, that would be hell. It might have been the right choice not to speak just now.

The silence lasted for a while, and the bushes below moved again, and there was a rustling sound.

"Huh." Charles looked a little surprised: "There is a magician among them."

There seemed to be a sudden wind in the mountain forest. The mountain wind blew through the forest canopy, blowing the branches, but everyone could hear the murmur of human beings whispering in the rustling noise: "The opposite... is... who is it? ?”

This is wind communication, one of the few communication spells that can be used in areas that are suppressed by magic, because it uses the power of nature instead of breaking the laws of space, so spells such as dimensional anchors cannot work on it. The top elves and druids can even transmit the wind message to areas thousands of miles away, but the wind message technique has a characteristic that it is slow, and sometimes it takes a week or even several months for the trade wind to flow from one area to another Moreover, for most elementalist apprentices, wind communication is generally just a short-distance communication spell that does not exceed the visual distance, and magicians in the army often use it as a supplement to sign language and lip language.

Brando turned back to Charles and said, "Tell them, we are Earl Jean's."

Charles looked at his lord in surprise, wondering if Earl Jean, who was a prisoner at the moment, would die of anger when he heard this. Of course, he still followed his words. Although he is not an elementalist, several common spells have a common surname, not to mention that one of the characteristics of the law spell is the imitation law, and the almost magical trick of the wind spell can be imitated by an existence of his level. There was no difficulty, and the message was passed easily, and even Feng Zhong's words were obviously smoother than the other party's.

Charles' method obviously surprised the other party, and after a short moment of silence, Brando saw six or seven people stand up one by one under the hornbeam bushes below the hillside, and they looked here Look, Rogers waved to them intentionally, so that these people could confirm their position. After the latter saw Rogers, he immediately ran over to the top of the mountain with his back bent. The vegetation on the hill was very dense, and their short running clearly For a while, there was no gaze from the sky, and after a while, they came to a circle of bushes on the top of the mountain, and the people who ran in the front were the first to see the Eruin envoys behind Rogers.

"you--!"

The man obviously recognized Brando. As soon as his expression changed, he subconsciously retreated, but how could Brando give him this chance? He was afraid of causing trouble, so he directly raised his hand, and the lines of law distributed in the vast space at the same time It lit up, covering the seven people like a net, and then he pulled his hand, and the seven people appeared around them at the same time, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Seven people landed on the ground one by one. When Rogers saw one of them, he whispered in surprise: "Sir Cooper, you are still alive!"

The guy he called Sir Cooper looked only in his early forties or fifties, but he was short in stature and had a bit of a mischievous eye by nature. His appearance was obviously not worthy of his noble status, but everyone who knew him knew that he was a very shrewd man. The guy, he realized something was wrong when he heard his captain of the guard whispering, and subconsciously turned around to try to escape, but it was a pity that he was a step too late, before he could move his legs, he felt his body being pulled up by an invisible force, The whole person soared into the air, and then fell heavily on the ground; he fell to the ground in a mess, and his soul was scattered, and suddenly he heard someone calling his name faintly—— those monsters in Qiaogendigang were naturally impossible to recognize. It came from his identity, and the Cruz language of the other party was also the standard local accent of Anzeluta. His mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately felt at ease when he heard this low call.

"Don't call!" He hurriedly told his men in a low voice, and then raised his head and looked around suspiciously—his eyes first fell on Brando, and then his face changed, obviously recognizing the troublemaker The Earl of Anzeruta turned upside down, but then he noticed Rogers who was calling him, and his eyes were slightly surprised: "I know you, your father is Burjat, haven't you been elected to the Royal Knights?" ,How would it appear here?"

"It's a long story." Rogers didn't dare to reveal his true identity, smiled wryly and said, "I came to Anzeru Tower because of a special mission. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Now I am similar to you. They are all prisoners of the Earl, but the Earl promised to take us to a safe place, compared to the Earl, who only wants a ransom. Sir Cooper, you don’t want to be a prisoner of those monsters, do you?”

Cooper shuddered. Those monsters were going to kill. He had seen those cavemen beheading a nobleman and sticking his bloody head on a stake. He hurriedly shook his head, ordered his subordinates to take off the sword, and then handed it to Brando, then bowed and saluted the latter, acting much more calmly than the twitching Earl Jean: " Lord Earl, the safety of my subordinates depends entirely on you, and I have absolute confidence in your reputation."

Brando smiled. He didn't know what credibility he had in the hearts of these people. The only friendship he had with these local nobles in Anzeruta was that he took a large number of hostages from them. Just half a week ago they He still calls him a devil, but now he seems to be an extremely reputable Earl. Not to mention Brando, even Ephraim, who was hiding in the woods behind, couldn't help being speechless when he saw this scene. The chubby young man couldn't help turning his face away and squatting in the bushes with him The Duke's daughter said: "You tell me I'm not dreaming, O'Neill?"

The Duke's daughter had a complex expression on her face, and she responded softly.

Brando knew that Rogers was turning a corner to remind Cooper of his attitude towards him, but he didn't care, the inner court knight was very talkative.

"Sir Cooper," Rogers noticed Brando's attitude before continuing to speak: "Why are you here, where are the others?"

Hearing this question, Cooper crumpled his already wrinkled face: "Don't mention it, Earl Alcons has already been caught by those monsters."

"What! The Earl is not dead yet?" Rogers was taken aback, and also attracted Brando's attention.

"This... As far as I know, he shouldn't be dead, but it can't be ruled out that something happened during this period that I don't know about." Cooper was obviously taken aback by Rogers' reaction, and had to think carefully replied.

"No, no, I thought you were all wiped out on Linye Avenue." Rogers realized that he had misunderstood, and quickly changed his explanation.

"That's not true, but it's almost there." Cooper sighed, "It's all because of those damn monsters. We were rushing north that night, and these rats were waiting to ambush us in the dark. Sir Moore was the first to be attacked, alas, poor old Moore, he was as big as a bull, and we all thought he'd live to the end of time, what a fickle thing! We didn't know who the enemy was in the dark, They came from all directions, everywhere in the sky and the earth, and we were quickly defeated. I was at the southernmost point, and I only saw the Earl and the others fleeing northward across the river bank."

"Then, how did you know that Earl Alcons was arrested?" Brando asked suddenly.

"I saw it with my own eyes. After the Earl and I were separated that night, I kept trying to find out where the other people were going. Only later did I know that they went to Boos."

"Boos!" Rogers, Trevor, and Nasha couldn't help but blurted out at the same time when they heard the answer, repeating the place name.

"What's wrong?" Cooper looked at them puzzled.

"Nothing, you continue to talk." Brando replied.

Cooper nodded with some suspicion, and continued: "Actually, it's not Buos. The Earl and the others were surrounded at the North Mountain sentry before they arrived at Buos. When I got there, I saw them with my own eyes. Captured by cavemen."

"Northern Mountain Outpost, but why did Earl Alcons go in that direction?" Rogers asked incomprehensibly, "Boos is a dead end."

About Buosbrando, I asked Princess Magdal in advance, and knew that there was a crystal mine there before the Year of Thunder, but that place prospered because of the mine, and also declined because of the mine. Since the mine vein was cut off, this The town famous for its mines is also declining day by day, gradually becoming a forgotten corner. However, he thought that Mr. Earl probably wanted to find a place to hide. The other party knew that he would not be able to outrun the caveman, and he did not have delusions about breaking through the siege and fleeing to Asaph or Loen. The first target of the underground creatures is Asaph, and they will not go to the corner of the mountain to find his trouble.

But unfortunately, things backfired——

"I think the Earl underestimated the size of that army of monsters. According to my observations, there are at least four different dungeon lords on the battlefield of Anzlova, and they are sure to take Asaph in the first place. We can allocate troops to deal with the defenders of Buos." Cooper shook his head and said.

"No one would have thought of this, we didn't even expect them to come," Rogers smiled wryly and shook his head: "Those underground rats know us too well, we don't even know who is leading them , but they know us too well."

He only complained on the surface, but he carefully concealed the real chilling speculation in his heart. He didn't forget the cavemen's siege of them-although the existence of the inner court knights was a semi-open secret in the empire, they were outside. Few people knew about his identity, and the way the knights in the inner court communicated was only in the hands of a few people. He really couldn't imagine how those cavemen found them.

Whether it was a coincidence or a human factor, several names could not help appearing in his mind, and as long as any one of these names betrayed the empire, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

He could only pray that this was just a prank by Lord Martha.

Brando listened to the conversation between the two, but his eyes fell far away in the valley like a shadow, and he suddenly asked with a feeling: "Earl Alcons is in Greystone Town now?"

Cooper stopped talking, looked back at Brando, and said for a while: "I saw them enter Greystone Town, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun hadn't set yet, there was a long queue Passing through the valley, they came from the direction of the North Mountain sentry post, and it can be clearly observed that there are many human captives in the team... Assuming the Earl is not dead, I think he should be inside."

"Has Greystone Town been captured before then?"

"It was captured before that."

"Then how can we confirm whether Earl Alcons and the others are still staying in the town at this moment, or have already left the town from the other side of the valley and been transferred to other places?"

Cooper opened his mouth: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it." He looked at Brando suspiciously, but he didn't expect the young Earl Eruin to think so carefully.

Brando didn't care about Cooper's question, and then asked: "Has the harpies on patrol in the sky ever changed?"

"Once." The latter replied truthfully.

"Then there were harpies in that Georgian army that attacked Count Alcons?"

"This... doesn't seem to be there."

"That's right," Brando pulled the collar of the earl's windbreaker to prevent the cold night wind from pouring into the neckline. He stared at the valley and replied: "The Shader cavemen have two famous lords, one It's Gerald the Wizard, and one's a Tanservant, and neither clan is allied with the Harpy. Which means the town's Jorgendigan garrison hasn't handed over defenses to the Shader troggs—"

"They left?" Cooper asked cautiously.

"That's not necessarily the case. What I mean is that there may be more than one lord's army stationed in this town." Brando frowned, which was not good news for them.

Cooper also subconsciously closed his mouth, not understanding what the Earl was thinking.

"Sir Cooper, are you sure that the Georgian army returned from North Hill Post this afternoon?"

"What do you mean by asking, my lord, my scouts won't lie to me." Cooper seemed a little angry because he felt questioned.

"Don't be angry, I don't doubt you, Sir Cooper, I just want to confirm one thing, your scouts really saw the army of Jorgendigan attacking Earl Alcons at the North Mountain Post, and returned to Ash From Stone Town?"

Cooper was about to answer, of course, but he only spoke half a word before he was stunned, and then showed a look of surprise.

Roger's reaction was stronger than his. He almost jumped up and shouted: "They returned to Greystone Town directly after attacking the North Mountain sentry post!? What about Boos, are they just targeting Earl Alcons? went?"

"This..." Cooper said with a blank face, "I don't know what's going on!"
