What's in the Black Forest? That's a secret in itself.
…
Centaur elder Huade did not so much discover the adventurers as he discovered the remains of the adventurers. More than thirty corpses lay scattered in the forest. The remains were wearing light gray robes, with silver armor exposed underneath.
Brando opened the corpse's robe and saw the crimson flame mark on the silver armor. He thought that it was as expected - these people are the guards of the temple. In fact, he was talking to Quinir, a centaur.
Elder Hua De noticed this from the posture of the corpse when they entered the forest together.
The long swords scattered on the ground are all in Cruz's style, but only those belonging to the temple will use long swords so openly. If it is other human armies, you can more or less see battle axes or other standard weapons.
Lifting his robe, he now confirmed this.
"They are the gray-robed monks from the Temple of Fire," he straightened up and said to Quinir and Centaur Elder Huard beside him, "I wonder if there are any Flame Guards."
"They probably didn't encounter a wolf, but more than thirty corpses are neatly placed here, which is really weird." Centaur elder Huade said.
"Yes. Ordinarily, if the temple collects the corpses, it will not expose the corpses of the companions in the wilderness. Even if there is no time, they can still bury them hastily. They know that there are wolves in the forest."
Brando walked to the next corpse and lifted up his robe: "Another monk soldier."
"The key is that there are no traces of a fight," Quinier said. From time to time, the low horns of night owls in the forest made him twitch the tips of his ears: "It seemed like he just slept to death, and there were no obvious fatal injuries on his body."
"Are they all the same?"
"It's all the same."
Brando finished checking the three corpses in front of him, then he raised his head and looked across the forest to the other end - there were more than 30 corpses scattered in the forest, except for falling on the ground or leaning against the trees, more or less.
Don't maintain the same attitude as before.
They closed their eyes and their weapons fell not far away from them, as if they had really fallen asleep.
But the gray and dull skin proves that these are dead people who have lost the breath of life.
This scene seemed extremely weird.
Not far away, the centaur elder Huade and the tree elf leader Quinir saw this scene and did not say anything. They were not surprised by this strange situation - no one can understand the black forest. The deeper the forest, the deeper it becomes.
It feels more like a huge nightmare that may silently lull you into sleep at any time and take away your life.
But Brando's ideas are different from theirs.
"I just don't know if my life was taken away in an instant, or if I experienced something before. What caused all this? Is it a wolf?"
Brando walked silently among the corpses, not daring to jump to conclusions. However, compared to the two aborigines who were helpless, Brando had already discovered some clues through the state of the corpses.
After all, the warrior experience of level 130 is not in vain.
In terms of rich experience, both Huade and Quinier should be called seniors.
Brando suddenly stopped next to a corpse. He squatted down and saw the monk soldier holding a golden amulet tightly in his hand. He plucked the amulet from the opponent's hand, and at the same time he confirmed the body.
At the time of death - he was already slightly stiff, his fingers were cold, and he was no different from a wax statue.
Then Brando put his hand on the other person's chest again, and there was still a trace of warmth. It seemed that the temple had just passed here not long ago. However, those people actually took a step ahead of him, which surprised Brando slightly - this meant that Yan
The temple also knew the plan of the druids and took advantage of these unsophisticated tree skewers.
"Hmph, these powerful people with deep family backgrounds are really good at snooping for information." Brando couldn't help but think.
However, he also knew that such a big move of the Druid was just to hide the secrets from small forces like Golden Mane Toquinin and Eruin. I am afraid that the wizards of Buga, the Temple and the Cruz people have already guessed it.
The result of tonight's action.
In other words, they should all be heading deeper into the cloud ring.
Brando raised his head and looked at the corpses in the forest, wondering if it was really that easy to penetrate into the Ring of Trade Winds? No matter how powerful these behemoths were, he probably wouldn't have thought that he had already experienced it once.
The deeper he goes into this world, the more Brando feels the advantages that players once had.
Then he raised the amulet and looked at it. In the middle of the amulet was a diamond-shaped amethyst. Half of the amethyst had been blown up by the unbridled magic power. It was rumored that amethyst could exorcise evil spirits, so it was often used to make amulets to exorcise evil spirits.
The monk soldier died holding this thing in his hand, which shows that he had already realized the danger.
Then his life was not taken away in an instant.
Brando immediately came to a conclusion in his mind, and then habitually wanted to put the talisman in his bag, thinking that this talisman could still be used after repair, and the things used in the temple were generally not that bad.
go.
However, he immediately realized that this was no longer a game. God knew whether the two men behind him would throw something that had been killed without permission.
Centaurs and tree elves respect the dead and spirits the most.
Thinking of this, he still put the amulet back into the dead man's hand. It was not a good thing anyway, so he couldn't take the risk. In fact, Brando had already felt the eyes of Ward and Quinier sweeping over him.
Sweeped away.
He stood up and affirmed: "These monk soldiers are here to break up the rear."
"After the break?" The centaur elder was startled. He saw the young human walking among the corpses, squatting down to check from time to time. At first, he was a little disdainful. The corpses would leave messages, but only those who truly read the corpses would leave messages.
Only veterans who have come out of mountains and seas of blood, professional hunters and professional priests can understand this information.
Huade himself was proficient in this - as a veteran warrior, he could easily tell whether the wound was caused by a blade or a bite, or the effect of some kind of magic, but he was still helpless in the face of such a strange corpse.
After the young man walked around twice, he could tell that these people were staying to cut off the rear?
I'm afraid it's just a guess.
The centaur couldn't help but frown. For a commander, it would be irresponsible to jump to conclusions easily. He turned back and looked at the tree elf beside him. Quinir also frowned, but the latter shook his head.
He shook his head and signaled him to calm down.
"Hmph, these indecisive tree skewers." Centaur elder Huade was quite disapproving.
Brando didn't seem to see Huade's indifference. He walked to the other side and looked at the entire battlefield. Then he determined a direction, pointed in that direction and said: "It seems that the people from the temple are coming from that direction."
, almost the same as us."
Huade was stunned for a moment, and Quinier was also slightly surprised. When they found the body, they ordered their men to search the surroundings carefully. The druid was a first-class expert in this regard. In a short time, he found the fallen trees and vegetation in the forest.
The situation determines the direction in which those humans enter and leave.
Brando's judgment is not far different from theirs.
"What? You don't believe it?" Brando saw the surprised expressions of the two people: "As long as you search in that direction, marching in the forest should leave a lot of traces."
"No," Quenier asked, "we just want to know how you knew."
"Well -" Brando was thinking in his mind. It turned out that the temple was already marching in this cross-shaped arrangement at this time. This formation with four guard regiments protecting the center was improved by players in the game.
After that, it became the most favorite formation among players because it was flexible and had time to react to any unexpected situation.
However, as the leader of the regiment, he was very familiar with this way of marching. Brando walked to a tree and said: "The temple entered the forest from this direction. The left wing swept through the woods. The scout first discovered the enemy, and then he
This is a warning to others."
He raised his head and saw a body on the tree crown.
Then he took two steps to the left. These were the seven or eight corpses farthest away from the perimeter of the position: "The enemy was very fast and had no time to react, so the first to meet the enemy were the Gray Knights on the perimeter - the scouts of the Temple.
.”
He opened his robe and found the mark of the Gray Knight.
"Qian!" Brando turned around and shouted: "Come here, go over there." He pointed to a location and said to Qian. The red-haired girl was originally standing next to Antitina and looking at the situation here from a distance.
But I couldn't help but be slightly startled when I heard this order.
However, her bounden duty as Brando's follower was to obey. Although Qian didn't understand, she still walked over.
Brando drew a circle with his hand around the Gray Knights lying on the ground, and then he looked back at Huard and Quinier: "The Gray Knights surrounded them in a semicircle, and the distance was wide.
, their task in this formation is to delay time - these are the elites of the temple, well-trained, and they know this very well."
"But there was no battle." Brando gestured to Qian to come over, and Qian passed through the bodies of six Gray Knights, "They fell."
"The last Gray Knight should have been frightened. He started to turn around here." Brando saw the traces of broken vegetation at his feet, and then he raised his head and looked in the other direction: "He ran away in that direction, but
He was overtaken, but there was still no fight, so he fell down and died."
Brando looked at a corpse there and said.
"The enemy is very strong," Brando signaled Qian to continue walking into the woods. "After the guard group on the left wing was ready to meet the enemy, the decision-makers of the temple immediately arranged for them to cut off the rear and turn the left wing into a rear formation.
Then he left in that direction."
He pointed outside the forest, as if seeing the situation with his own eyes.
Huard and Quinil both turned around, and their expressions suddenly changed, because Brando guessed correctly again. At this time, everyone heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the forest. The centaur elder and the tree elf leader were almost there.
They turned around nervously - but they saw that it was the Eruin man.
It seems to be a guy named Count Odin.
In fact, Brando stopped the team halfway up the mountain and did not move forward for a long time. The Earl was really impatient and came up to see the situation, but he was startled as soon as he came up.
Bodies everywhere in the woods.
