"There is an ancient dwarf kingdom under the Anzeruta Mountains. They are a branch of the Broken Sword Mountains. When this kingdom was digging a tunnel downwards, they accidentally dug through a large beehive. After that, the ground was filled with monsters. The kingdom
Subsequently, they died, and the remaining dwarves also migrated westward, and the map of the underground kingdom was also lost. Now the dark labyrinth is full of dangers, and it takes unimaginable risks to pass through it. Even if they ignore these difficulties, the dwarves have to
Trying to dig a passage under the hard rock formation to connect these lost tunnels is not something that can be done in a month or two." Nymesis replied.
After Nimesis's reminder, Brando also remembered such a thing. After all, he was not familiar with Cruz and Eruin, so he asked this question.
After hearing about the strange incident that happened to Count Jean, his first suspicion was that these nobles were playing some conspiracy, but then he thought about what tricks Toquinin's lion men were playing, and bypassed Rokozzi--
The fortresses in the Sword Mountain Range attacked the empire just like in history. This was a premonition that had long been lurking in his mind, but now after discussing it, he found that there was no possibility. The thoughts that finally became clear returned to chaos, and he had to stop.
Awaiting further information.
Twenty minutes later, the first batch of gargoyles who went to Vargas returned. Medissa found him with the developing crystal removed from the gargoyles, and replied hesitantly: "My lord..."
"What's wrong?"
Medisa shook her head slightly. Unlike Charles's frivolity, this little silver elf princess never spoke big words. For sure, she only handed the developing crystal to Brando: "My lord, please take a look at it yourself.
"
Brando took the developing crystal - this kind of recording crystal is not uncommon in Warnd, but it can't be said to be ordinary. It can record several images with sound for three to five minutes and preserve them for several years to decades. Buga
The fact that people dare to place them on every gargoyle is enough to prove the wealth of the mages - he injects magic power into it, and the crystal emits glowing light and then shows the scene of the gargoyle flying high in the sky, in which the forest looks like a forest.
It is a thick carpet with some plots of different shades of color on the edge. It is farmland. The fields are dotted with red roofs, barns, windmills or other buildings.
No one spoke. Nymesis and Brando recognized this as the countryside of Vargas, an imperial pastoral scenery, but then they saw a strange scene. Gargoyles flew over the town, and the red roofs
It began to become denser, with several roads running through the bustling market like veins. However, it was such a large town that there were no pedestrians on the streets, and no scattered birds could be seen on the dense tree shades. It was like a ghost town.
Then they discovered strange things in the square of Vargas, which looked like scattered gravel. Brando looked carefully and recognized that they were all humans or similar creatures, but they were standing on the ground.
The square was motionless, like a stone statue.
"What's going on?" Charles asked in astonishment: "Could it be that there was a sudden attack by monsters near Vargos, and the entire area was attacked by dead-eyed flying dragons or basilisks?"
Brando shook his head. The dead-eyed flying dragon is not a gregarious creature. It mostly moves alone outside the period. The petrified lizard is a creature with a strong sense of territoriality and will not rashly come into the human world. Neither of these two monsters
It is possible to turn a human town into a ghost. The only possibility is that this is an organized attack. He already has a candidate in mind. He turned back to look at Nymesis and saw from the other party's dark eyes.
The same guess was seen in his eyes.
"They are the people of the Queen of the Snake, the people who will be damned forever."
"Medusa." Charles said in shock: "They are not underground in Jorgendigon, how could they come to the surface so easily?"
It is true that underground residents will not easily go to the surface world. They have to go from Jorgandigang through the large hive on the 'dome', and then cross the 'shallow surface' underground cavity area and the river with underground water seepage. This is a long and long journey.
A journey full of dangers. Tajib and his people once walked this road. During that migration, countless cavemen died on the road, due to disappearance, attacks by monsters, and the most terrible diseases and hunger.
, but facts prove that they still dare to make such an attempt if necessary. This is the unique tenacity of the underground people.
"I remember," Brando pondered for a moment: "The residents of Qiaogendigang also believe in the goddess of the earth, right -"
"This is impossible!" Charles replied with some surprise: "The residents of the underground believe in the goddess above, and the residents on the surface believe in the goddess below. Although the two beliefs are from the same source, but that
It was a thousand years ago. Since the Great Schism, the dwarves and lions on the surface have no longer interacted with the dwarves and other ethnic groups underground. How could they come together, let alone have time to communicate in such a short period of time?
?”
Before the era of the Great Schism, the surface and the underground did worship the same goddess. However, since the War of the Saints, due to various problems such as the loss of faith, today's Earth Temple is no longer what it used to be. Even the original one in the Duanjian Mountains
The three sacred objects in the Earth Temple also disappeared one by one. Since then, many sects that originally believed in the Earth Goddess have been in conflict. The two largest ones, Tuoquining and Jorgendigan, have already parted ways for a thousand years.
as long as.
Brando certainly knows this, but at this moment, a more gloomy thought is swirling in his mind: What are the lions waiting for on the other side of the Rokochi-Broken Sword Mountains fortress group?
He looked at Nymesis. The female knight frowned and nodded slightly to him.
"How sure are you?" he asked meaningfully.
"If the attacker is indeed from Jogendigon, then the lion man's weird behavior is most likely related to it." The female knight replied calmly.
Everyone fell silent, calculating in their hearts whether this line of defense could be sustained if Tuoquining's golden-maned lions combined with the underground residents of Qogendigang launched a pincer attack on the Rokoqi-Broken Sword Mountain fortress group. "Roko
Qi——The fortress group in the Broken Sword Mountain Range may be in danger." Even Charles himself was shocked when he said these words. Although he claimed to be well-informed, knowledge silences people, and the strength of the empire
In his eyes, detailed data, analysis and rational thinking are like the mighty Cruz Golden Eagle woven feather by feather. It is down to the smallest detail, but its sharp claws and beak let you understand how powerful it is.
Rokochi - The Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group is the long-standing defense line of the empire. It is located between the mountains. The frost and snow in the highlands form its solidity. The rugged rocks are its swords and edges. The harsh climate is all year round.
It describes its ruthlessness and indifference; it is an insurmountable chasm. Even if the lions can capture one or two of the fortresses, to defeat the entire line of defense is a frivolous joke in anyone's mind.
But this sentence sounded particularly calm when it fell in Brandoni's ears. This was something they had expected. The shock brought about by the first and second times was completely different. They had been in history.
He has witnessed the capture of that invincible defense line, so he seems calm now. "Although it is just a speculation, we have to prepare for the worst. Assuming everything is true, where is Qiao Gendigang's army now and its size?
How big is the loss of the fortress group in the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountains? We all need to re-evaluate it. The key is whether the threat that is so close at hand-the Jorgendigon army that annihilated Count Alkans' army is now
Already aware of our existence, we must first confirm the danger of the attendants around us." Brando thought for a moment and replied.
Nymesis glanced at him and nodded in agreement.
Charles also glanced at his lord in surprise: "My lord, Martha, I almost thought you had graduated from the Royal Knights Academy. This is the knowledge of mercenaries. When will you meet You, sir?"
Did Ta learn this trick?"
This flattery was just right, and Brando couldn't help but replied in a funny way: "There are still many things you don't know."
"That is, otherwise why are you the lord and I am just a follower." Charles smiled slightly and teased nonchalantly.
Medissa also covered her face with a smile, and then asked: "Lord, what should we do next?"
"Call the others here first. This is a big matter and we need to let them know first."
"Otherwise, the princess will say that you don't respect them." Medisa replied with a smile: "You are arbitrary and willful."
"Yeah, I'm almost annoyed to death by her." Brando sighed and replied helplessly.
The little princess couldn't help but giggle.
…
"Get out of here, damn it!"
Rogers roared angrily and stabbed the caveman in the chest with his sword, then raised his leather boots and kicked him down the stairs, but because of the excessive force, he couldn't even pull out his sword.
He could only watch helplessly as it rolled down the dark corridor together with the disgusting creature. But in an instant, he saw one or two flashes of light in the darkness, his heart shuddered, and he quickly lowered his head.
With two bangs, two spears were inserted into the door frame above his head. The tails of the spears were still trembling slightly. He was startled. He no longer bothered to snatch his sword back. He quickly took a step back and opened the door.
Close it, and then drag the cabinet and bed next to it to block the door.
A moment later, the sound of two heavy objects hitting the door came from the door, followed by a burst of creaking and screaming.
Rogers breathed a sigh of relief, turned around with blood all over his body, and looked at the four people left in the empty room with a wry smile. Among the twelve people, they were the only ones left now. Since the days of Niedwin
From the beginning, the Cruz royal family has placed spies and ears and eyes all over the empire, and they are the inner court knights stationed at Shirat Mountain Villa. Their mission is not to participate in local defense. At the moment, these monsters simply come out of nowhere to stalk them.
, the opponent was so numerous that they suffered heavy losses overnight and had to flee into the farm to protect themselves.
But in fact, everyone else understands that the so-called self-protection may not last long.
A tall man with curly hair was leaving the window. He lowered the curtains and the light in the room immediately dimmed. Then he shrugged and said to the others: "Good guys, they have surrounded the outside. It seems they are planning to give us a good look, Rogers."
You've killed a lot of these damn things, and I think they probably won't let you go. Do you have any last words? Maybe if I'm lucky enough to survive, I can help you engrave them on your epitaph—"
"Lord Rogers, Sikun is dead." In the corner of the room, the female knight holding her blood-covered companion raised her head and said sadly. The knight in her arms had a bone-deep wound on his chest.
The wound was not fatal, but the fatal wound was on the back of his head. The female knight was holding a hand there, and blood was flowing down her gauntlet like a stream.
"Pray for him, Nasha." Rogers sighed.
The only silent person in the room was a young man in a robe. He was concentrating on putting the parchment in his hand into the fire in the middle of the room. He lowered his head, and his dark eyes only reflected the light of the bright flame, as if
This matter is an extremely sacred task for him.
Rogers glanced at the young man, shook his head, and then asked the others: "What exactly is that? Do you see clearly?"
"Have you heard of it? It seems like a shooting star - hey, it's a pity that I didn't have time to make a wish at that time," the tall man continued: "But we met these cavemen on the way. I doubt that during this time
Is there any connection? This ghost thing usually doesn't come to the surface."
Rogers was silent for a long time before he said firmly: "I don't think this matter is that simple. We have to find a way to inform His Majesty."
The female knight silently prayed for her companions in a low voice, and the young man who burned the document raised his head, looked at the others, and replied concisely: "It can't be done."
"Can't do it?" Rogers stared at his companion in confusion. Kui was the most outstanding wizard among their group. No matter what the situation, he could always deliver magical messages.
The young man did not speak, but only stretched out his five fingers. Everyone saw a trace of fire flashing between his fingertips, but it passed quickly, leaving a few shallow golden-red lines, and then disappeared into the air.
"What's going on?" The tall man couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Your tricks have failed? This is impossible, Kui, you are the best."
The young man glanced at them and replied: "Magic is out of order."
"What do you mean?" Rogers frowned.
"Something is interfering with the law."
"What is it?"
"More powerful spells, artifacts, or some unknown existence." The young man replied.
Rogers' face became a little solemn: "If all the coincidences come together, then it is most likely not a coincidence. Kui, Nasha, and Trevor, I think we may have encountered the worst case scenario."
"Can anything be worse than now?" asked the tall man.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a heavy banging sound coming from outside the door, followed by a snapping sound, and there was a crack in the wooden door. He stared in that direction dumbfounded, while the others looked angrily.
Looking at him, the latter could only spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, I'm a crow's mouth, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Rogers took off the sword from the seriously injured knight, and then said to the others: "We have to try to break out. Your Majesty is still waiting for news from us."
As he spoke, he drew his sword.
…
Brando's orders began to be issued one by one. The warning range outside the mission was first expanded. Gargoyles were flying in the sky all the time, guarding against the possible existence of Jorgendigang's army. However, the open hills around the mission
No different from the forest area, Brando further expanded the search scope and dispatched young sentry cavalry belonging to the White Lion Guard to Vargas and Linye Avenue. His efforts were not in vain, and soon these
The sentinel cavalry detected truly valuable information.
The cavalry avoided the main road and entered the area of Vargas and Linye Avenue along the densely populated rural roads in the Fuyunzhiqiu area. They did not run into any Jorgendigon's army along the way, but when a man named Tutu came from near Vargas
When passing by Ya's village, they happened to encounter a small group of cavemen besieging a nearby farm. The captain of the sentry cavalry was a cadet graduate from the Royal Academy of Knights. He immediately judged that there might be survivors in the manor, so
He immediately led his men to kill the cavemen and rescued the people inside.
Brando soon met these people.
It was a group of four people, three men and one woman. When they were brought to Brando by the sentry cavalry, they looked more or less embarrassed - these people were dressed like the children of the most ordinary country gentlemen in the empire.
Wearing thick woolen coats, feathered hats, and deerskin boots, the expressions on their faces looked very determined. Although they were covered in blood and mud, and two of them were still seriously injured,
He didn't look scared or confused at all, he just looked a little tired. Then Brando noticed at the second glance that these people were all wearing long swords. Although the swords were of different styles and of various types, they held
The posture of the sword is very standard. It does not look like the showmanship of the gentry and nobles, nor does it look like a soldier of the empire, but more like a knight in the inner court.
After Brando pondered for a moment, he understood the identities of these people. He couldn't help but think that his sentry cavalry was quite lucky, and they actually brought back several spies from the Cruz royal family, but then he thought again
Somewhat relieved, only these inner court knights with extraordinary martial arts were more likely to survive this sudden attack and survive until now.
While Brando was sizing up these inner court knights, Rogers was also sizing up the Earl. To be honest, he didn't know each other - on the contrary, he knew the other party's identity and origin very well, even before this.
He was fully aware of everything that had happened since the Black Sword Barrier until the other party arrived here. In fact, it was he who personally used sealing wax to seal the letter marked with seven layers of flames when it came to the news that the Eruin envoy had arrived.
Put it in an envelope with the emblem, stamp it with the seal of Sirat Villa, and deliver it to the White Rose Garden.
In the previous battle, he thought he would definitely die, but he didn't expect to be saved by these Cruze scout cavalry at the last moment. When he first saw those strangely dressed cavalry, he understood the identity of the other party, but in
Before he actually met Brando, he had only heard of the earl in rumors. What he didn't expect was that the head of the Eruin envoy was so young, so young that he
It is inevitable that some doubts will arise. How can the Eruin people trust such a young man to serve as the head of the mission?
He suddenly understood the reasons for the series of troubles caused by the Earl.
With this idea in mind, Rogers took several of his colleagues and bowed slightly to Brando. This knight's etiquette had nothing to do with superiority and inferiority, and was just to thank the Eruin people for their help.
