"Lord, there is a problem." Caglis looked at the forest and replied.
In the forest, the druids were interrogating the captured golden-maned lions - these members of the Deadwood Council obviously did not expect that someone would dare to cause trouble on the front line at this time - not to mention that Brando could still be considered one of them for the time being.
alliance.
This made them extremely angry, because what these two-legged cats of Toquinine were doing was simply a waste of their time, and at this moment time was almost equal to life.
However, the lions also felt that they were wronged. They found out that the Eruin mission only brought twenty or thirty guards to find Brando's trouble. Even if twenty or thirty silver-level guards were added to the existence of a few gold strength
They really didn't take it seriously. Rovac and his lieutenants thought that even if they killed them all, they wouldn't be able to waste much time.
But unexpectedly, the Cruz people didn't tell them about Brando's strength, and as a result, they let the other party take the blame.
Of course, this was not because Faina and her team deliberately wanted to harm these guys. In fact, these noble children themselves were also shocked. They originally thought that even if there were one or two gold powers around Brando, it would not be possible for him to have hundreds of silver levels.
The lion's rival.
You must know that although the Lion-men lineage does not have any outstanding swordsmanship, the wild fighting and power prayer of their racial talents are also unique fighting skills. Therefore, the Lion-men's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and ordinary human silver beings of the same level may not necessarily
are their opponents.
It's a pity that Brando doesn't have ordinary people under his command.
The Fire Claw Lizardmen come from the elemental plane, and their combat power is just as strong as that of the Lion Men. Akane is the God of Thunder, an almost invincible existence in the same level of gold, not to mention that she has absorbed the power of the golden apple.
Among them, Kuran, who seems to be the most ordinary, has a golden median absolute power that is one step higher than all others. He is also a veteran of the November War, and his battle experience has been enriched to an outrageous level.
As for Brando, various skills and equipment have long armed him into a monster that exists in its golden stage. Even he himself doesn't know how strong his combat power can be when his firepower is fully unleashed.
Therefore, all the unexpected circumstances created the tragedy of the Toquining Lion Man.
But Brando didn't care about the fate of these guys. He wiped Harangia's dark sword edge and returned it to its sheath, then turned around and asked: "Question?"
Caglis sat down next to Brando carelessly, stretched out, and surprised Brando when he said: "Lord, someone is plotting against us behind the scenes."
"Oh?" Brando was stunned for a moment.
"Eruin's envoy and Toquinin's two-legged cat came to us one after another. I don't think it's such a coincidence." The young man replied in a low voice: "If Count Odin's trip was influenced by the Cruz people,
The pressure is on, so it’s hard to guarantee that there are no traces of the Cruz people behind Toquinin’s two-legged cats who bumped into each other by chance.”
Brando suddenly realized: "That's true." But he frowned. Tuoquining is a force of the Earth Temple. How can the Cruz people get together with these guys?
If the Cruz people really plan to support Toquinin to suppress Eruin, then this is undoubtedly huge bad news for Eruin.
But will the Temple of Fire agree?
Even though the Cruz people hold the say of the temple, what they do violates the doctrine itself, and the temple should not compromise easily. Even if the price is paid, it seems that the gain is not worth the loss just for the sake of speaking against Eruin.
He looked at Caglis doubtfully.
"The Lord wants to ask, how can the Cruz people convince those two-legged cats in Toquinin to come to us?" Caglis: "It's actually very simple, just let those two-legged cats know that Eruin is no longer a
A threat will do."
"You mean the news about Eruin***?"
"Yes, Lord. I think Eruin's envoy has no way to contact the outside world and get information from the outside world. So how did those two-legged cats who have not fully evolved get the news about Eruin's death?
Caglis replied: "Or is it that Toquinin's level of civilization is already higher than that of Eruin?"
"Cruz people." Brando shook his head and replied. The expensive long-distance communication technique is only possible for Cruz people, or Buga's wizard. But Buga's wizard has always been aloof as a silver people. It seems that
There is no need to intervene.
And even if those cunning white-bearded old men want to find a stumbling block for the Cruz people, they will not find a stumbling block like Eruin.
But Brando suddenly reacted and glanced at Caglis in surprise.
He can come to the conclusion himself because he knows the direction of history, and knows the relationship between Cruz, Toquinin and Eruin better than anyone here, and he also understands the secret knowledge that is unknown to others.
But this young man from the Mintai area just analyzed some scattered information and came to a conclusion. This brain is too good! If the average person repeatedly thinks about finding the problem after something happens, it may be said to be thoughtful.
, but this guy had obviously just beaten away the Toquining Lions and had already discovered clues about the Cruz people behind them.
He even wondered if the young man had already thought of this when those two-legged cats appeared.
Brando suddenly felt that it was a wise move for him to recruit this guy. Although Sir Mintai himself was just a mediocre inferior lord, his son was not an ordinary person.
He looked at the other person, thinking how could such a guy have such a low reputation in history? In the coming era of war and chaos, young people like this should make their mark quickly.
Did he really die on the way to Vlada?
Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but want to pat Caglis on the shoulder, and said with an old-fashioned look: "Boy, I saved your life. Think about how to repay me."
But he only dared to think about this in his mind, otherwise the title of Divine Stick would have been confirmed, and the Temple of Flame might have sent someone to tie him to the stake or something.
Brando was about to say something, but he heard Caglis say with some confusion: "But the only thing that makes me a little confused is the motivation of these two-legged cats. They come all the way just to steal your sword, Lord Lord?"
"Although the Earth Sword is a weapon that exists in fantasy legends, those unlucky people represent Torquinin's envoy after all. As an envoy, they suddenly turned into bandits. Isn't this too cheap?"
The young man couldn't help scratching his head: "Or do they have this tradition since ancient times? I don't understand, I don't understand -"
Count Odin and the female scholar stood aside and couldn't help coughing heavily when they heard the young man say this, with a strange look on their faces: "Tradition?"
They thought that if the lion men of Tuoquining knew that this young man had turned Tuoquining into a country of robbers as soon as he opened his mouth, they wondered whether they would immediately raise troops to kill them.
But Antitina answered his question. The noble daughter waited until the battle was over before she came up, took Brando's words and replied: "The Sword of the Earth is a sacred object of the Earth Temple, and its value is no less than that of the Lion's Heart Sword."
As for Eruin, or if the Cruz people know that the Scepter of Fire is with you, sir, they will come and snatch it away."
"So that's it," Caglis suddenly realized: "Then this is an easy explanation. It seems that the Cruz people are indeed causing trouble behind the scenes. Because no one should know that the Earth Sword is in the hands of the Lord, and even if they know, they can't.
There’s no incentive to spread the word—”
Brando nodded, and his face darkened at the same time. He thought of this one step earlier than Caglis. Because he knew the background of the Sword of the Earth very well, but these Cruz people are really lingering, and they are too tough to do anything.
Stab in the back.
This is not Veronica's style.
"If Veronica wants to deal with us, it doesn't seem necessary." Antitina thought for a moment and said, "The legion leader really doesn't have to play tricks. We are no match for her."
"Maybe she doesn't want to break up with the druid?"
"Druids are not fools."
"That's interesting." Caglis suddenly smiled and turned around: "Count Odin, it is indeed the envoy of the Cruz people who came to put pressure on you, right?"
As the senior general of the Northern Army and a noble of the kingdom, Odin had no need to answer the young man's question. However, Brando had fought alongside him before, and the Cruz people's obvious behavior of treating them as gunmen also made him uncomfortable.
He felt dissatisfied.
So he nodded: "I know the person who came. She is the daughter of the current prime minister of the Cruz Empire."
"It means it was indeed the Cruz people who did it, but Veronica didn't know about it." Antitina's eyes lit up and she couldn't react.
Brando nodded, but what gave him a headache was that even so, they couldn't confront the commander of the Blue Sky Legion, because in that case, Veronica might take the majesty of the empire into consideration and make the fake show come true.
Even if she wants to teach her subordinates who act secretly, she probably won't give them the good fruits of the Eruin people.
"That is to say, no matter how you look at it, the Cruz people are not going to give up." Brando said that while fighting against the wolf disaster, he also had to deal with the calculations from behind, which made him feel very unhappy.
"It doesn't matter, we can also fight back," Caglis lowered his voice and whispered: "Lord, if the Cruz people don't take action themselves, they must want to see our trump card."
Brando was stunned.
"Lord," Antitina reminded in a low voice: "What Caglis means is that they should be nearby."
Brando reacted immediately, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he quietly glanced at the people around him, and then quietly threw out a Sylph Spider card.
Brando threw the card to the ground and let the translucent spiders emerge from the bushes without attracting anyone's attention.
Then he whispered: "Go on and tell us what they are going to do next."
Caglis was stunned and immediately understood that the young lord had taken action. The young man smiled secretly, fearing that the world would be unstable, and replied: "That's right, since they want to see where our bottom line is, naturally
You have to improve your playing cards again and again—"
"But as for stronger leverage..."
"The Temple of Fire," Antitina replied: "The Cruz people control the say of the temple. Since they can allow the Eruin envoy to put pressure on us, it is impossible not to bring the Temple of Fire to the temple as well.
Consider it."
When they heard about the Temple of Fire, Odin and the female nobles' expressions changed.
"But the Temple of Flame does not completely obey the words of the Cruz people," the female scholar replied with a frown. She was just grateful that Brando had saved her life before and said: "If the priests want to take action, they still need to
A reason.”
reason.
Brando felt his eyelids twitch slightly. He might have thought of the other party's excuse - the Heavenly Arms. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, hoping that his own guess would not come true, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
