Vol 5 Chapter 74

"There is an ancient dwarf kingdom under the mountains of Anzeruta. They are a branch of the Broken Sword Mountain Range. This kingdom accidentally dug through the big hive when digging the tunnel. Then the underground was full of monsters, the kingdom. Then it perished, and the remaining dwarves also migrated westward, and the map of the underground kingdom was lost. Now the crisis in the dark maze is full of danger. To pass through it, you need to take unimaginable risks. Even ignoring these difficulties, the dwarves must It's not something that can be done in a month or two if you want to dig a channel under the hard rock formation to connect these lost tunnels, "Nimesis replied.

After reminding Nimesis, Brando also remembered the fact that he was not familiar with Cruz after all, so he asked this question.

After listening to the weird incident that happened to Count Kean, his first suspect was that these nobles were playing with conspiracy and tricks, but then thought of what the Lions of Toquinin had done to bypass Rokozi-broken The Sword Mountain Fortress group attacked the empire as in history. This was a premonition that had lurked in his heart, but now after discussion, I found that there is no possibility, and it became clear that my thoughts returned to chaos, and he had to stop. Awaiting further information.

Twenty minutes later, the first gargoyles returning to Vargas returned slowly, and Metisya found him with the crystal removed from the gargoyle, and replied endlessly: "Master ..."

"What happened?"

Meditha shook her head slightly. Unlike Charles's frivolity, the little silver elf princess never talked or packed tickets, but handed the developing crystal to Brando: "Master, please look at it yourself. "

Brando took the development crystal-this recording crystal is not uncommon in Warnde, but it is not ordinary. It can record several audio images for three to five minutes, and it can be stored for many years to decades. People dare to place them on each gargoyle, which is enough to prove the wealth of the mages-he injected magic into it, and the crystals radiated the light, then showed the picture of the gargoyles flying in the sky, and the forest image It is a thick carpet, with some shades of land on the edges. It is farmland, the field is dotted with red roofs, there are barns, windmills or other buildings.

No one spoke. Nimesis and Brando had recognized the countryside of Vargus, an imperial pastoral scene, but then they saw a weird scene, with gargoyles flying over the town, the red roof It began to become dense, and several roads passed through the bustling market like a vein, but a large town in Nuo, there were no pedestrians on the street, and no flying birds could be seen on the dense tree line, like a ghost town. Then they found strange things in the square of Vargus, like scattered pieces of gravel, and Brando carefully discerned them before they recognized that they were all humans or similar creatures, but they stood The square was motionless, like a stone statue.

"What's going on?" Charles said suddenly: "Did it say that a monster attack has suddenly occurred near Vargus, and the entire area has been attacked by dead-eyed flying dragons or petrified lizards?"

Brando shook his head. Dead-eyed dragons are not social creatures. Most of them act alone outside the period of **. Petrified lizards are creatures with strong territorial concepts. They will not rush into the human world. Neither of these two monsters. It is very possible to make a human town look like a ghost town. The only possibility is that this is an organized attack. He already has a candidate in his heart. He looks back at Nimesis, and is dark from the other side. Seeing the same speculation in his eyes.

"The people behind the snake, the cursed forever."

"Medusa," Charles whispered, "They're not underground in Georgia, how could they easily reach the surface?"

Underground residents do not easily go to the surface world. They have to cross the big honeycomb above the 'dome' from Jorgendygan, and then pass through the shallow cavity and the groundwater infiltration channels. This is a long and long A journey full of danger. Tajib and its people once walked this path. During the migration, countless cavemen died on the road, died of disappearance, attacks of monsters, and the most terrible disease and hunger, but it turns out that if there is If necessary, they still dare to make such an attempt, which is the tenacity of the people underground.

"I remember," Brando groaned. "The inhabitants of the Georgian people also worship the goddess of the earth, right--"

"This is impossible!" Charles replied with a little surprise: "The inhabitants of the ground believe in the goddess above, and the inhabitants of the ground believe in the goddess below. Although the beliefs of the two are homologous, but It was a thousand years ago. Since the Great Dividion, the dwarves and lions on the surface have ceased to associate with dwarves and other peoples underground. How can they come together, let alone have a contact in such a short time? ? "

Before the time of the Great Divide, the surface and underground belief was a goddess, but since the war of the saints, due to various issues such as loss of faith, the earth temple is no longer the old one, even in the Sword Mountain Range. The three holy relics of the Earth Temple have also disappeared one after another. Since then, many sects that originally believed in the Goddess of the Earth have been struggling since then. The two largest of them--Tokunin and Georgendigan--have parted ways. as long as.

Brando certainly knew this, but at the moment he had a more gloomy thought in his mind: what exactly are the Lions waiting for on the side of the Rokozi, the Broken Sword Mountain Fortress?

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

"How confident are you?" He asked with a hint.

"If the attackers were indeed from the Gengan Degang, then the odd behavior of the Lions was probably linked to it." The knight replied calmly.

Everyone was silent, and in their minds calculated whether the line of defense could be held if the torquinine's Golden-Maned Lion and the underground residents of Gorgendgang launched a pinch on the Rocozi-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress. "Rokozi-the fortress group of the Broken Sword Mountain is in danger." Even Charles himself was taken aback when he said this sentence. Although he was self-aware and knowledgeable, his knowledge made people silent. The strength of the empire in his eyes is detailed data, analysis and rational thinking, like a mighty Cruz golden eagle woven from a feather and a feather, the slightest, but the sharp claws and beaks let you understand what it is powerful degree.

Rokozi——The Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group is a long-established defense line of the Empire. It is between the Chongshan Mountains, and the frost and snow in the highlands form its solidity. The rugged mountain rocks are its blades and blades. It has a harsh climate all year round. Recounting its ruthlessness and indifference; that is an insurmountable nature, even if the lion can capture one or two of the forts, but to say that the entire line of defense is broken, this is a frivolous joke in anyone's mind.

But this sentence fell in the ears of Brandoni Meissis, but it seemed very calm. This was something they had expected. The first and second shocks were completely different. They used to be in history. Witnessing the infallibility of the line of defense, it now appears calm. "Although it is only a speculation, we have to plan for the worst, assuming everything is true, where is the army of Jorgendiggan, how big it is, Rokozi-the loss of the Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group, We all need to re-evaluate, the key is that the threat that is close at hand-whether the Georgian army that annihilated the Earl of Alcons-now knows our existence, we must first confirm the danger of surrounding guards. " Brando thought about it and replied.

Nemesis glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

Charles also looked at his Lord Lord in surprise: "Masha is on, Lord Lord. I almost always think you are also a graduate of King's Knight Academy. These are the knowledge of mercenaries, when are you and yours, yours? The tower learned this? "

This flattering was just right, Brando couldn't help but replied a little funny: "You don't know what's left."

"That is, otherwise why are you Lord Lord, and I am just a small follower." Charles smiled slightly, teasing indifferently.

Meditha also laughed aside, and then asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

"Call someone else first. This is a big deal. Let them know first."

"Otherwise, the Duke will say that you don't respect them," said Medicea with a smile: "arbitrary, self-serving."

"Yeah, I'm sick of her." Brando sighed and replied pretendingly.

The little princess couldn't help giggling.

...

"Get out of here, **** shit!"

Rogers roared and stabbed the caveman's chest with a sword, then lifted his leather boots and kicked it down the stairs, but he couldn't even pull out his sword because of too much force, All I could see was rolling down the dark corridor with that disgusting creature. But in an instant, he saw a flash of light or two flashing in the dark, and he drew his head down and slammed twice. Two spears had been inserted into the door frame above his head. His tail was still trembling slightly, and he was startled. He couldn't help regaining his sword, hurriedly took a step back, closed the door, and dragged the cabinet and bed next to him to reach the door of the house.

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

Rogers was relieved, and turned round with bloodstains, and smiled bitterly at the four people remaining in the empty room. Among the twelve, there are only a few of them now. Since the Nederman era, the Cruz royal family has placed agents and eyes around the empire, and they are the Knights of the Knights stationed in Hillat Villa. Their mission is not to participate in local defense. At present these monsters simply do not know where to emerge from The number of people who came to entangle them was huge, and they suffered heavy losses overnight and had to escape into this farm to protect themselves.

But in fact, all the remaining people understand that the so-called self-protection may not last long.

A tall curly man was leaving the window, he lowered the curtains, the light in the room dimmed immediately, and shrugged to the others and said, "Good guys, they've surrounded the outside, it looks like it's going to look good to us, Rogers You killed a lot of these ghosts, and I do n’t think they are going to let you go. Do you have any last words, maybe I'm lucky that I can die on the epitaph— ”

"Master Rogers, Xi Kun he can't do it anymore." A female knight holding a **** companion raised her head in a corner of the room and said sadly, the knight in her arms had a deep bone on her chest. Mouth, but this was not a fatal injury. The fatal injury was on the back of his head. The horsewoman was holding a hand there, and blood was flowing down her armour like a stream.

"Pray for him, Nasha." Rogers sighed.

The only person in the room who didn't speak was a young man in a robe. He was concentrating on putting the parchment in his hands into the fire in the middle of the room, lowering his head, and the dark eyes only reflected the bright flame of light, as if This matter is an extremely sacred work for him.

Rogers glanced at the young man, shook his head, and asked the others, "What the **** is that, do you see clearly?"

"Have you heard of it, it seems like a meteor-hey, but I didn't have time to make a wish," the tall man continued, "but we met these cavemen halfway, I suspect that What's the connection, this thing doesn't come to the surface? "

Rogers was silent for a long while before saying with certainty: "I don't think it's that easy. We need to find a way to inform Your Majesty."

The horsewoman silently whispered a soothing prayer for her companion, but the young man who burned the file raised his head to look at the others and replied succinctly: "It can't be done."

"Can't do it?" Rogers stared at this companion in puzzlement. Kui was the most prominent wizard in their group. No matter what the circumstances, he could always convey the magic message.

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

"What's the matter?" The tall man couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Your tricks have failed? It's impossible, Kui, you are the best."

The young man glanced at them and replied, "Magic disorder."

"What do you mean." Rogers frowned.

"Something is interfering with the law."

"What is it?"

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

Rogers' face turned a little dignified: "If all coincidences come together, then chances are that they are not coincidences, Kui, Nasha, Trevor, I think it may be the worst."

"Is there anything worse than it is now?" The tall man asked.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a heavy crashing sound from the door, and then a rattling sound, and a crack had opened in the wooden door. He stared blankly at that direction, while the others looked at him angrily, and the latter could only helplessly spread his hands: "Well, I'm Crow's mouth, when I didn't say!"

Rogers took the sword away from the badly wounded knight, and said to others, "We have to try to break through, Your Majesty is waiting for our news."

Then he pulled out his long sword.

...

Brando's order began to be issued one by one, the perimeter of the perimeter mission was first expanded, and gargoyles were flying in the sky at all times, beware of the possible presence of the Jordanian army. However, the open hills and forest areas around the ambassador were no different. Brando further expanded the search and sent Vargus and Linye Avenue to send young sentry cavalry under the White Lion Guard. His The effort was not wasted, and soon these sentinel cavalry detected real valuable information.

The cavalry avoided the road, followed the dense rural roads along the Cloudy Hills area and entered the Vargs and Linye Avenue areas. They did not run into any Georgian troops along the way, but a map named Vargs near Vargs When passing by near Ya's village, he happened to meet a small group of cavemen in a siege near a farm. The captain of the sentry cavalry was a non-commissioned student who graduated from the King's Knight Academy. He immediately decided that there might be survivors in the manor, so Immediately led his men to kill the cavemen and rescue the people inside.

Brando quickly met these people.

It was a team of four men, three men and one woman. They were more or less embarrassed when they were brought to Brando by the sentry cavalry. These people were dressed like the children of the most common country gentleman in the empire. Wearing thick wool coats, feathered hats, and buckskin boots, but their faces looked very determined. Although they were stained with blood and dirt, two of them were not badly injured, but It didn't look a little scared or confused, it just looked a little tired. Then Brando noticed for a second glance that these people were wearing long swords. Although the swords were of different styles and varied, they held their swords in a very standard posture, not like the flower shelves of gentry and aristocracy. , Not like the soldiers of the empire, but like the knights of the inner court.

Brando groaned a little, and understood the identity of these people. He couldn't help thinking that his sentry cavalry was lucky, but they brought them back a few agents of the Cruz royal family, but then he thought about it again. With some relief, only these extraordinary martial arts knights are more likely to survive this sudden attack and support it to this day.

While Brando was looking at the Inner Cavaliers, Rogers was also looking at the Earl at the same time. Seriously, he didn't know each other-on the contrary, he knew the identity and origin of the other, even before this. From the Black Sword Barrier to the arrival of the other side, he knew everything that happened during the period. In fact, the news of the Eruin mission arrived here was that he himself sealed the envelope with the seal of the Seventh Flame Emblem with sealing wax, and then stamped it with the Hillat Villa and delivered it to the White Rose Garden. Among them.

In the previous battle, he had thought that he would die, but he did not expect to be rescued by these Cruz scout cavalry at the last moment. At first glance he saw the cavalry in strange costumes, and knew the identity of the opponent, but before he really saw Brando, he had only heard of the Count in rumors. What he did not expect was that the head of the Eruin envoy was so young, so young that he inevitably caused some doubts. The Eruin was assured that such a young man would be the head of the envoy. ?

Suddenly he understood some of the troubles that the Earl had caused before.

With this in mind, Rogers and his colleagues gave a slight bow to Brando. The etiquette of this knight was not about superiority or inferiority, but only to thank the Eruin for their help.
