Scene 84 Into the Night IV

The time went back to half an hour ago.

Compared with the turmoil in Huishi Town, the nearby hills are quiet. On the hill where the Eruin mission is located, everyone stays quietly in the pine forest. Due to concerns about the harpies hovering in the sky, there is no People dared to start a fire, or make any outrageous actions, and even had to speak softly—everyone was waiting for the sky to be completely dark.

But before that, the time became extremely boring and long. Some people were whispering, some people were eating dry food to maintain their strength. In the woodland, the four inner court knights were discussing matters about the Beishan sentry post. Roman was telling a story to the little daughter of Grand Duke Golan-Elsen. The latter looked at the merchant lady with admiration. The former had a special ability to tell the things that hadn't happened. Merchant groups, merchant ships with huge sails like clouds, crossed the shining sea, followed the channel to bustling ports, wild areas, giant beasts lurking in the far sea, storms bred on the sea, strange fish and mortals once in a lifetime. Although she had never been to those places before, it was fascinating as if she had seen it with her own eyes. Soon other people gathered around her, and what Brando saw were Sugar Bowl, Delferi and Hippamela, the three loyal listeners of Roman, and then joined Chiara and Magdal Princess.

The Duke’s daughter is counting the stars with Enid. The strange starry sky of Vaughn always shines from east to west one by one. The night sky is like a black cloth sprinkled with gemstones, shining brightly. A long river of starlight has already fainted. Emerge, as if announcing the final arrival of night. But after the stars and the light of the moon converged in one place, the outside of the woodland became brighter, and the silvery valley radiated a faint light at night.

Before night fell, Brando had been asking Cooper about the situation in Greystone Town. The latter also wanted to take advantage of the night to break out of the encirclement, but suffered from the tight security in Greystone Town. He has nothing to do with a few harpies. He didn't know much about the current situation in Greystone Town. When Brando asked, he could only vaguely answer a few questions. However, as a local nobleman, he knew very well about Greystone Town itself. Where is the market? , where there are open streets, where there are barracks and towers, and where there is a temple, he knows everything clearly, and he can draw a simple map.

Brando's question was very detailed, which made Cooper very puzzled, and he couldn't help asking: "Master Earl, are you really sure you can win Greystone Town?"

"It's hard to say, everything will be known after nightfall." Brando replied in his mouth.

"My lord, the Georgian Army stationed in Greystone Town is not weaker than us. They also have a defensive advantage. The individual combat effectiveness of the harpies and cavemen is also stronger than our swordsmen and spearmen— —Of course, it may not be as good as your army, my lord, but according to my observation, you don’t have many guards, my lord, right?” Cooper asked cautiously.

In Eruin, especially the noble spearmen in the southern region are at most equivalent to the first-tier arms, and even the average level is not as good as the infantry swordsmen and spearmen of the local legion, but in Cruz,

The level of noble private soldiers is still slightly stronger, and can be on par with the swordsmen in Aruin's first- and second-tier legions. They belong to the second-tier arms like the cavemen, but there are also strengths and weaknesses among the same-tier arms. Humans belong to the upper-middle level in the second-tier arms, and the Cruz noble spearmen and swordsmen can be regarded as at most on the sidelines of the second-tier arms. The human army is slightly better in discipline, but inferior in individual combat effectiveness. If you do too much, the advantage of discipline can often show an obvious advantage in large army battles, but in small-scale battles, raids, personal strength can determine the outcome of a battle.

Not to mention that there are Harpies and Razor Boars in Jogendigon, which are genuine third-tier creatures. If there are one or two nest lords or Minotaurs in the town, it will be a big deal for the troops of these local nobles. Disaster.

The Shader caveman clan is not considered powerful in the underground of Georgendigan, but it is equivalent to the local legion of the Cruz at the same scale, such as those lords that Brando is familiar with in history, such as Turlock, The 'Blind King' Satek or the 'Beast Tamer' Xilica, their armies also fought against the border legions in God's country, and as for the existence after Geralt and Medusa, if they put all their efforts, Even the first-line legion of the empire may not be able to control it alone.

"What do you think should be done, Sir?" Brando asked.

"I think we should find a way to go around... We are few people, and they may not be able to find them by walking through the hills." Cooper thought for a while, and replied hesitantly, as if even he felt that his suggestion was not so reliable. Brando smiled when he heard it, and shook his head lightly. It is impossible for one or two thousand people to march in the hills without being discovered, let alone one or two thousand, even if one or two hundred people move, no matter how dense the trees are. The shade can't be covered, unless everyone is scattered in groups of several people and scattered into the hills, but how much space and how long will it take, we simply don't have the time now.

If we don't deal with the defenders of Greystone Town, there is no way for us to leave this place safely.

"Hey," Cooper sighed, a little desperate: "Is it necessary to fight, there is no other way?"

Brando saw that he seemed to be frightened by the Georgian people, so he could only comfort him and said: "Sir Cooper, Greystone Town is not as difficult to conquer as you imagined."

Cooper only took it as comfort, nodded, and looked listlessly in the direction of the valley.

Haruze walked through the dark forest, as if attracted by the light outside, he walked out with his hands on the pine trees, and finally saw Lysmeka on the edge of the forest, Medusa standing in the bush On the edge of the clump, his eyes are fixed on the exposed white rocks under the moonlight. But the place where the little prince saw the eye level with the rock was a shadow entrenched in the valley. That place was called Greystone Town, as the teacher told him. Geographically speaking, it was the exit of this valley, but He knew that the town was occupied by some special enemies at this moment.

"Are those your compatriots, Sister Lysmeka?" He walked behind Medusa and asked in a low voice.

"Compatriots, it doesn't count." Lysmeka replied after hearing the voice of the little prince.

Haruze looked at her puzzled.

Lysmeka turned her head and looked at the little prince, her amber prismatic pupils carried a hint of gentleness: "Little cutie, Qiaogendigang in human language is actually just a noun in the geographical sense, and It is not a country or a territory. The real Qiaogendigang is actually divided into upper, middle and lower layers. Each layer is different. The rulers of the shallowest layer are dwarves, and the middle layer is the familiar Qiaogendi. Gang, the lowest level is the kingdom of the dark elves, and further down, there are rivers flowing with magma and sulfur. In the dark underground world, there are thousands of different ethnic groups, and they have never had the concept of a country, even if they are The most powerful lord often only rules a city and a territory, and the smaller tribes all depend on the lord to live, and since the beginning of history, everyone has fought against each other and is hostile to each other."

While talking, she sighed, and Haruze faintly felt that maybe she shouldn't bring up these things, so she stopped asking.

After sending Cooper away, Brando looked at the scene at the edge of the woodland from a distance when he returned to Nimesis.

"That Medusa?" He turned around and asked.

"His Royal Highness promised to protect her, and His Highness the Little Prince seems to like her very much." Nimesis replied, but she didn't look over there, as if she didn't care about it at all.

"no problem?"

"It's not a big problem, don't forget that she came with the devil."

Brando nodded. In the middle and lower classes of Qiaogendigang, the aborigines have feuds with the devil, but there are also a small number of people who have to serve the devil. They are slaves of the devil. She personally sent the little prince back, so it was not without reason that Griffin trusted her so much.

There was a moment of silence between the two, silently looking towards the direction of the valley, the wind blowing from the hills caressed the entire pine forest above their heads, rattling.

"It's getting dark earlier and earlier." Nimesis said suddenly.

"Because it's almost winter."

Nimesis glanced at him: "The direction of the falling star is near the Beishan sentry post."

"There are many eyewitnesses, and the testimonies of most people can prove this, but most of them don't believe it's true, and they generally think it's a trick by George Gentegan."

"Cave dwellers are looking for it."

Brando nodded, although most people thought they were directed at Earl Alcons, but in fact he had the answer in his mind early on.

Nimesis looked at him quietly with her orchid-like eyes: "Could it be that thing?"

"I'll find out soon."

"So confident? That Mr. Jazz doubts that you will be able to capture this place." Nimesis couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she thought of Cooper's face, but it was a pity that Brando didn't notice, he heard After reading it, he also smiled: "What is it, don't you know that, although there are many famous generals in this era, 'we' also have our own means."

"You mean 'player'?"

Brando didn't want to answer this question lightly. He has been thinking about all these days: Does history tend to happen or change, and if it is the latter, what is the opportunity?

The night was getting darker and darker.

It is obviously unrealistic to approach Greystone Town under the eyes of the harpies before the sky is dark. The vision of these monsters is comparable to their distant relatives on the surface. In fact, let alone the valley, As long as you step out of the shelter of the dense tree canopy, you may be targeted by them. As a reconnaissance unit in the flying unit, the Harpy is also ranked in the forefront of the entire Warnd. Just in terms of reconnaissance ability, even Buga's gargoyles are slightly inferior to them, but they are very fragile. In addition to leaping between underground rock formations, their short wings have insufficient climbing ability in the air, which makes them very disadvantageous in fighting in the sky.

However, it is delusional to want to get close to Greystone Town after nightfall. Harpies are creatures in the dark. In fact, their vision is stronger at night than during the day, because they have slight light blindness, which makes them unable to Adapt to daylight on the surface world.

According to Shire, the only way to get close to Greystone Town quietly is for everyone to learn invisibility—if so many wizards can be found to cast spells on more than a thousand people hidden in the mountains and forests.

It seems that there is only one way to attack by force.

But players are especially good at such small-scale unconventional battles, so the choice of Brando and Nimesis is usually not so troublesome.

When the hour hand on Sir Cooper's silver pocket watch crossed the twelve mark, there seemed to be a breeze in the forest, and a small army of gargoyles was flying from the woodland on the top of the hill, but from above the forest, only black paint could be seen. The lacquered canopy shook slightly, and the branches seemed to sink slightly under the pressure of the descending airflow. A total of seven or eight invisible air waves swept across the canopy, and then disappeared.

Under the canopy, wizards in robes are watching the gargoyles blessed with invisibility spells take off, and beside them are a second batch of gargoyles waiting to take off. These gargoyles stand like statues when they are not activated. Among the woodlands, the folded wings are almost higher than the height of the treetops. These are the backups of the first batch of gargoyles. If possible, everyone present sincerely hopes that they can succeed once and not use these backups.

And through the night, it seemed that Martha was standing by their side, and the plan went far smoother than imagined.

The eight invisible gargoyles climbed into the night sky and began to climb. They quickly flew into the clouds and came to the tops of the harpies above the town of Greystone. Looking down from the veil-like gap in the clouds, four black spots that are circling and flying can be clearly observed. The harpies didn't have the slightest premonition that the danger was approaching. They were circling in the air in twos and twos, watching the vast land with their sharp eyes. The hills are like miniature sand tables, and the hills are covered with silver mist, making them look peaceful.

But at this moment, the eight gargoyles had already locked on to their targets. After they climbed to a high point, they began to make a final turn and then dived.

Gargoyles, like griffins, are heavy flying units, and their wingspans are far wider and stronger than griffins, and they are stronger, which means that they have almost the strongest climbing and diving abilities among creatures of the same level—— In the game, the gargoyle is the third-tier unit closest to the fourth-tier unit, the griffin is the fourth-tier unit, and the harpies is the fourth-tier unit closest to the third-tier unit. The balance abilities of the three flying creatures are almost equal However, the gargoyle is no match for the harpy compared to the detection ability, and it is no match for the fierce griffin compared to the fighting gargoyle, but in the speed chase of climbing and diving, the gargoyle of the Buga is well-deserved First.

Not to mention, the gargoyle swooping down from the clouds is still in an invisible state at this moment, and the four harpies have no idea that disaster is coming from the sky, and they didn't panic until the screams that pierced the sky reached their ears. react to.

But alas.

It was too late, the precision of the construct allowed the eight gargoyles to enter the attack range at the same time, and when they revealed their attacking intentions and emerged from the invisibility spell, the harpies did not respond at all, and they just scrambled in midair in vain. Struggling for a while, the icy claws pierced through the fragile breastbone. The eight gargoyles are almost all arranged in tandem, one after the other, one attack sequence, in order to prevent the fish from slipping through the net, but it turns out that this is just superfluous.

As soon as the gargoyle passed by, a rain of feathers fell in midair.

It's a pity that this place is too high from the ground, and the feathers are flying around. When it hits the ground, I don't know where it has drifted to.

In the dark night, no one noticed the battle in the sky that had ended before it even started——

The people waiting anxiously on the ground received the message from the gargoyle at the same time. Rogers couldn't help but give his companions a high-five with some excitement, and the wizards in the forest also clapped their hands in congratulations. But at the same moment, on the other side of the hill, groups of elves wearing feather cloaks, clothes different from humans, and holding long staffs are coming out of the forest. Their faces are painted with various patterns, which look a bit like They are barbarians in the mountains, but their pointed ears reveal their identity - tree elf druids.

A small group of druids had joined Brando's magician group during the Eruin Autumn Twilight War. After the war, more tree elves came out of the black forest, and in his territory Settlement - this was part of his agreement with the druids in the ring of trade winds, and as the magician group traveled with the Eruin mission, these druids also came to Cruz's land.

Facing the night wind, they chanted ancient spells, and then turned into ravens or ravens one by one, flying up from the mountains and forests in groups, and flew down the valley, in the direction of Huishi Town.

Areas close to the inland sea of ​​the empire often had migratory birds migrating, and even inland, it was not uncommon for ravens to roam the hills. However, the druids still chose to disperse into towns safely. Behind the eyes of the above, the army of Georgendigon could not notice these scattered flocks at all. The druids flew into the city and landed in dark places - those dead-end alleys, deep alleys or secluded courtyards, and then re-formed into human forms in a cloud of dark green light. Several druids One group took out blue stones from their pockets and placed them on the ground according to certain rules to form large and small magic circles.

Next, they began to inject magic power into these stones. The green light beams extended between the stones like snakes. When each stone was connected in series, the space above the magic circle vibrated, from A shining silver line emerges from the center, and this silver line expands to both sides, like an eye opened in the void, but this eye has no pupils, and there is only a strange space shining with blue and white light inside.

At this moment, far away in the hills, dozens of light doors opened, and they appeared in front of the white lion guards and the Cruz noble private soldiers who had been ready to go. Everyone was stunned by the spectacle in front of them, "Bujia people The teleportation circle!" Rogers screamed, and he looked at Brando with a complex expression: "The artisans and wizards really support you behind your back."

Brando smiled and said, "Mr. Knight, if you make your voice louder for Sir Cooper to hear, maybe he will start to doubt your identities."

Rogers' complexion changed, and after thinking about it, it was more important for him to hide the identity of the inner court knight, so he closed his mouth cautiously.
