"What is going on, Lord Count Toniguer." Just as Rogers was saluting, the daughter of Duke Viero came over in a hurry. When he saw Rogers and others, he stopped immediately, obviously recognizing that the other party was from Cruz.
. There was a doubtful look in her eyes again, and she saw that although these people were injured, they did not look like the prisoners of the Earl. Brando did not let the envoys participate in the battle, so they had been waiting for news at the back.
Unexpectedly, the last person waiting was Fuluo. The wild elf lady did not tell them whether they had won or lost. She only told them that the Lord had let them pass.
However, along the way, Oni had noticed that there were no signs of fighting nearby - she did not see the Cruze army, and the White Lion Guards on alert nearby did not look like they had been through a battle.
Brando saw other people behind the Duke's daughter - the business lady who winked at him to show that she was fine, the reluctant Ephraim, and the men who stood with Count Yanilasu.
Eco, the little girl from the Golan-Elson family, Chiara who focused on the hands of several Cruz people on the hilts of their swords, Miss Enid beside her, and finally Dill
Ferry, Magdar and Haruze.
The Baron who had just arrived at the envoy followed everyone, keeping a distant distance, and looked at Brando with a vigilant gaze.
Brando ignored him, although he knew where this person was coming from. When he saw that the envoys had arrived and the motorcade was parked on the road not far from the hillside, he nodded to Fuluo, and
In response to Ouni's question, Brando only looked at Rogers aside and said: "Sir, you also heard this lady's question. You must have guessed that we are the envoy of the Eruin people; and as the empire
Guests, we also want to know what happened, I thought maybe you could tell us something?"
Roger's eyes swept over these people one by one, and he said with a slightly surprised look on his face: "Sir... sir, we were also suddenly attacked by those monsters, and we haven't figured out what happened yet."
Brando smiled: "Are you locals?"
"Exactly," Rogers immediately replied: "I am Rogers of the Warren family, and this is the son of Sir Fergus." He pointed to the tall curly-haired companion beside him and replied, and then introduced the female knight:
"This is the daughter of Sir Turner, who is Mr. Locke's student." Finally he introduced the young man in the robe.
Even if Brando didn't listen, he understood that these were all false identities, but he was not busy exposing them. Instead, he asked a few more questions about the local area. Rogers answered them one by one without hesitation. The Duke's daughter looked at this suspiciously.
The two of them asked and answered questions, but they still didn't understand why Brando was interested in these people. She originally thought that they were from Count Jean's side, but she didn't expect them to be just descendants of local gentry.
After Brando listened to Rogers' answer, he smiled slightly: "You answered it well, so it's right."
Rogers originally wanted to say more, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard this sentence. He didn't understand what the other person meant by saying this, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat.
Brando replied: "Since you are so familiar with this place, Mr. Rogers, you must be the knight of the inner court stationed here, or should I call you Mr. or Ms. Secret Agent?"
Rogers' eyelids twitched and he subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword. A man and a woman behind him did the same thing. Only the young man in a robe with black hair and dark eyes remained indifferent. Rogers' hand had just been placed on it.
On the hilt of the sword, he suddenly realized something and slowly let go. He raised his head and smiled bitterly at Brando: "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. You have recognized us a long time ago, right?"
"You're welcome," Brando replied - these spies are undoubtedly the best gift given by Martha to him at the moment. These people are the most important local eyes and ears of the Cruz royal family, sometimes even more important than the local lords.
It is necessary to know every move of everyone in an area, not to mention that most people who can be selected to become inner court knights have better brains. At this time, if you want to find someone to find out what happened in Floating Cloud Hill overnight, it can be said that there is no one
People are more suitable than them - this time his sentry cavalry obviously couldn't complete the task more beautifully. He continued: "Mr. Rogers, since you are the knights of the inner court stationed locally, then I won't beat around the bush, for this
You are more familiar with this land than I am, and I think you should have more or less guessed what happened to you."
Rogers exchanged glances with his companions. Then he looked at Brando and asked tentatively: "I only admit part of it, but we are not sure yet."
The Duke's daughter heard on the sidelines that these people turned out to be the inner court knights of the Cruz royal family and couldn't help but be curious. She couldn't help but glance at Rogers and the others. However, the riddle between Brando and this person was still unbearable for her, so she said: "Or I
You can ask me what you are talking about and what happened."
"Miss O'Neill, if the lord guessed correctly, the creatures underground in Qorgendigang may have invaded the empire." Medisa received Brando's gaze at this time, and then she replied softly, and then she took Earl Jean's
The encounter and some of the clues they found were recounted. This information is not secret. You only need to go to Vargos to understand it in person.
"Jorgendigon!" Ouni was startled. The Duke's daughter was almost stunned for a moment before she realized what she was talking about. It can be seen that this term has never appeared in her mind - even in the most imaginative words.
It had never existed in her imagination. The people underground were isolated from the people on the surface. For thousands of years, the wells and rivers had not invaded. How could they suddenly invade the surface? Her first reaction was that the earl was threatening them again, but
Her eyes fell on Rogers and the others who had not spoken to refute, and then she realized that all this might be true, and couldn't help blurting out: "Why are they here to join in the fun!"
She reacted as soon as she finished speaking, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and said: "Lions! Oh my god, they won't get back together with the Earth Temple again, after a thousand years?"
Rogers' face was a little dark: "Your Majesty, how confident are you in what you said?"
"How certain are you that you know why you need to ask me?" Brando replied.
At this time, Enid asked the little girl beside her cautiously: "Chiara, what are they talking about? Is the empire in any trouble?"
"Trouble," the little girl who still wore her huge scholar's square hat smiled gloatingly today: "If that guy didn't lie, the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group was still in the hands of the empire.
I’m afraid it won’t be a few days.”
Rogers was obviously aware of this. When Kui told him that the communication magic was interfered with, he had this uneasy premonition in his heart. He knew exactly what it was, blocking magic on the battlefield. If it was a simple monster attack, the caveman would
They will never use this kind of magic. What they face can only be an organized army, and it is self-evident what is behind these underground creatures.
His expression changed for a moment, and finally he made a decision. He first glanced at his companions, and then said to Brando: "If Qiao Gendigang did attack the empire, then this area should have fallen into their hands by now.
Understand, this is also a trouble for the earl."
"Of course, I don't think cavemen can tell the difference between Cruz and Eruin people." Brando replied.
"What do you plan to do, Lord Count?"
"I have a simple way, which is to figure out the movements of these underground creatures and find a place to break out," Brando replied: "Their first target is Anzeruta's defense line, and their second target is also the empire's.
The army, my small envoy, should be able to break through easily. But I have a more perfect idea. If we can hinder the footsteps of these uninvited guests, maybe the situation in the south of the empire will not become unimaginable.
It’s so bad.”
Rogers and the three people behind him all looked at Brando in surprise and trembled: "What did you say, Lord Earl?"
"Why, it's hard to understand what I said?"
"No, but..."
Brando looked at these stunned inner court knights, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel the joy of succeeding in a prank. The arrogant imperial people were also confused, which meant that they were all fooled around. And Yi Yi
The little girl next to Ned looked at this scene with a malicious smile, snorting from her nose from time to time, not knowing who was mocking someone's stupidity and superficiality; the Duke's daughter suddenly realized something after Chiara, and endured
He couldn't help but take a deep look at the head of the envoy.
Brando said at this time: "I understand, do you think that based on my position, I should now be on the hostile side of the empire, or at least remain neutral?"
Rogers did not answer, but the look on his face was undoubtedly that. The tall man behind him shrugged, with a helpless look on his face. The female knight behind them looked a little nervous, and kept her hand on the hilt of the sword.
, only the young man at the end did not say a word from beginning to end, with a calm expression on his face.
Brando took another look at the young man, and then replied: "You have made some mistakes. I am still on the opposite side of some of you, but in this holy war, the Eruin people are still
We are allies of the Cruz people and that will not change."
Rogers glanced at the Earl with some surprise, thinking that the rumors said that the other party had a weird personality, but he didn't expect that the rumors were true. In the other party's words, the empire was the empire and the nobility was the nobility. They seemed to be two separate concepts. He had a vague feeling
Brando meant something by what he said, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully. He replied with some gratitude: "Your Majesty, you can distinguish between black and white. I admire you for your integrity. Now I believe you are in Black Sword Barrier."
What you did was flawless as the rumors said, and I apologize to you on behalf of the empire."
After hearing this, Chiara hurriedly pulled Enid around. Her actions shocked the latter, and she couldn't help but whispered: "What's the matter, Chiara, are you feeling uncomfortable?
"
The little girl from the Sifah family had a severe stomachache at the moment. She suppressed her laughter and replied: "It's nothing. Enid, I'm afraid I'm going to laugh out loud. Please help me block it. I can't stand it anymore, huh, huh, huh, huh..."
…”
The daughter of the Earl of Gray Mountain looked at her companion inexplicably.
But Rogers is indeed a little grateful at the moment. It is rare for people in this world to separate their love and hatred from the principles of life. The feud between Brando and the imperial nobles is well known to the world, let alone
He said that before today, they were still preparing for a war, but the other party was able to decisively put aside hatred and prejudice at a critical moment. This magnanimity alone was enough for him to admire. And this admiration stemmed from his being an imperial soldier.
, watching the empire in danger but being unable to do anything, the kind of gratitude when grabbing a life-saving straw in a desperate situation. Of course, he was more dubious about Brando's words, but he didn't show it in
Just on face.
Brando took in everyone's looks, then shook his head and replied: "What I need now is not an apology. Even if it is an apology, it will not be from you, but from some arrogant guy. Now we need
The most important thing is to find out what happened. What I said before is nothing more than speculation based on existing intelligence, but we still need a more detailed plan. Mr. Rogers, I believe you understand why I want to see you.
Because if I wanted to know what was posted before nightfall yesterday, no one here would know better than you."
This is what Brando and Nymesis are most concerned about at the moment. Hemlock Town is empty and there is no sign of fighting. Only a small number of residents on Leaf Avenue and Vargos have been attacked. All signs indicate that Alcorn
The army of Earl Si and other nobles did not retreat because of the attack by Jorgandigan - or at least they may have gotten the wind and escaped before that, but Brando was puzzled as to why Ji
Earl En would be abandoned in this place alone - in fact, the Earl is still cursing his unfeeling colleagues. Coincidentally, the farm where the Sentinel Cavalry rescued Rogers and others
, according to the judgment of the cavalry captain, these Cruz knights are not the owners there, which means that they probably encountered cavemen on the way, and then had to retreat to a nearby farm to defend themselves.
As for why they left their secret location at that time, it might be a coincidence, but Brando prefers another guess.
Rogers was also slightly surprised at this moment. Obviously, the earl knew the jurisdiction of their inner court knights very well, but he was a little confused as to why the other party knew them so clearly. Even among the top officials of the empire, the inner court knights were only half-skilled.
There are public existence, and some secrets are only in the hands of the royal family from beginning to end. Regarding this, even the young man in the robe raised his head for the first time, looked at Brando, and then lowered his head.
This idea only flashed in Rogers' mind, and then disappeared, but then a more surprising thought arose in his mind, which made him raise his head and look at Brando in confusion: "Your Majesty, you didn't
See?"
"What did you see?" Brando asked inexplicably. After saying this, he immediately frowned again, instinctively realizing that he and Count Jean might have missed something.
Of course, it was possible that this was some kind of trick the other party was playing, but when he saw Rogers looking back in shock and exchanging glances with his colleagues, he knew that the other party was not lying. It seemed that Rogers took a while to digest the news.
His Adam's apple rolled before he replied dryly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the offense. Can you please allow me to confirm again that no one in you or your envoys saw that beam of light last night?"
His tone was so cautious that he unconsciously used honorifics when addressing Brando.
"Light pillar?" Brando was really stunned now. He and Nymesis were up all night, but they didn't see any light pillar at all: "What are you talking about? Is there a magic resonance happening somewhere?
, is it a trick of those cave creatures in Qiaogendigang?"
"It's not magical resonance," the female knight who had been silent blurted out: "It's artifact resonance. How could you not see that near Vargas and Linye Avenue, half of the sky was illuminated, and almost everyone
Everyone saw meteors falling to the ground, and the northern sky seemed to be on fire."
They both finished speaking at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other.
"What are you talking about? There is no such thing." The Duke's daughter frowned and retorted.
"Liu, a meteor falling to the ground? Is there such a fun thing?" Roman's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at Medisa, but the latter frowned, as if thinking about something.
"You said the meteors fell to the ground and the northern sky seemed to be on fire?" Brando seemed to have heard the fantasy and asked subconsciously.
The female knight didn't understand what she said wrongly. She looked at her companions, but Rogers and Trevor's expressions were very gloomy. "What is going on?" Rogers asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Earl, you
Haven’t you seen this scene?”
Brando did not answer. He only exchanged a look with Nymesis, who silently nodded to him and mouthed a word to him.
Brando turned around and seemed to suddenly understand something in his heart. He said to the White Lion Guard guard on the side: "Ask Count Jean if he has seen everything Mr. Rogers said."
