Compared with the commotion in Greystone Town, the nearby hills were quiet. On the top of the hill where the Eruin delegation was located, everyone stayed quietly in the pine forest. No one was worried about the harpies hovering in the sky.
If you dare to light a fire or do anything out of the ordinary, you have to speak softly - everyone is waiting for the sky to completely darken.
But before that, the time became extremely boring and long. Some people were whispering, some were nibbling dry food to maintain their strength. Four inner court knights in the forest were discussing things about the North Mountain Sentinel. Roman was talking to Golan-El
Grand Duke Mori's little daughter was telling a story. The latter looked at the business lady with admiration. The former had a special ability to explain things that had not happened yet. She was talking about her business group like a cloud.
The merchant ship with huge sails crossed the shining sea and followed the waterway to the bustling ports, wild areas, giant beasts lurking in the far sea, storms brewing above the sea, strange fish and wonders that are rare in mortal life, although she never
She has never been to those places, but she talks about it as if she has seen it with her own eyes. It is fascinating. Soon other people gathered around her. What Brando saw were the sugar bowl, Delphiri and Xipa.
Mira, the three loyal listeners of Roman, were joined by Chiara and Princess Magdalen.
The Duke's daughter was accompanying Enid to count the stars. Warnd's strange starry sky always shone one by one from east to west. The night sky was like a black cloth sprinkled with gemstones, shining brightly. A long river of starlight had already dimmed.
Emerging, as if announcing the final arrival of night. But after the light of the stars and the moon converged, the outside of the forest became brighter, and the valley covered with silver emitted a faint light in the night.
Before night fell, Brando had been asking Cooper about the situation in Greystone Town. The latter also wanted to take advantage of the night to break out of the encirclement, but he suffered from the fact that the precautions in Greystone Town were very tight, not to mention the sky in the sky.
There was nothing he could do about a few harpies. He didn't know much about the current situation in Greystone Town. When Brando asked, he could only answer a few vague questions. However, as a local noble, he knew a lot about the current situation in Greystone Town.
But Graystone Town itself knew very well. He knew exactly where there were markets, where there were open streets, where there were barracks and towers, and where there were temples. He could even draw a simple map.
Brando asked very detailed questions, which made Cooper very confused and couldn't help but ask: "My lord, are you really sure that you can win Greystone Town?"
"It's hard to say, we won't know anything until nightfall." Brando replied.
"My lord, the Jorgendigang army stationed in Greystone Town is not weaker than us. They also have defensive advantages. The individual combat capabilities of the harpies and cavemen are also stronger than those of our swordsmen and spearmen -
"Of course, it may not be as good as your army, but according to my observation, the guards you brought are not many, right?" Cooper asked cautiously.
In Eruin, especially the noble spearmen in the southern region are at most equivalent to the first-level arms, and even the average level is not as good as the infantry swordsmen and spearmen of the local legions, but in Cruz, the level of the noble private soldiers is still slightly higher.
Stronger, they can be on par with the swordsmen in Eruin's first- and second-tier legions. They belong to the second-tier arms like the cavemen. However, there are also strengths and weaknesses among the same-tier arms. The cavemen are in the middle of the second-tier arms.
At the upper level, the Cruz noble spearmen and swordsmen can be considered as second-level arms at best. The human army is slightly better in discipline, but it is far behind in individual combat effectiveness. The advantage in discipline
Obvious advantages can often be shown when fighting in large armies, but in small-scale battles and surprise battles, personal strength can determine the outcome of a battle.
Not to mention Jorgandigan, the harpy and the razor boar, which are real third-level creatures. If there are one or two nest lords or minotaurs in the town, it will be really difficult for the armies of these local nobles.
Disaster.
The Shadel Caveman clan is not considered powerful underground in Jorgandigan, but at the same scale it is equivalent to the local legion of the Cruz people, such as those lords that Brando is familiar with in history, such as Turlock,
The armies of the 'King of the Blind' Shattuck or the 'Beast Tamer' Silica can also fight against the border legions in God's country. As for beings like Geralt and Medusa, if they use their full strength,
Even the empire's first-line army may not be able to control it alone.
"What do you think we should do, Jazz?" Brando asked.
"I think we should find a way to go around... There are few of us, and they may not be able to find us if we walk through the hills." Cooper thought for a moment and answered hesitantly, as if even he felt that his suggestion was not that reliable.
Lando smiled as expected after hearing this, and shook his head slightly. It was impossible for one or two thousand people to march in the hills without being discovered, let alone one or two thousand, even if one or two hundred people moved, no matter how dense the shade of the trees,
It can't be covered, unless everyone is dispersed into groups into the hills, but that would require so much space and time, we simply don't have the time now.
If we don't deal with the defenders of Greystone Town, there's no way we can leave this place safely.
"Hey," Cooper sighed, a little desperate: "Do we have to fight? Is there no other way?"
Brando saw that he seemed to be frightened by the Jorgandigan people, so he could only comfort him and said: "Sir Cooper, Greystone Town is not as difficult to conquer as you think."
Cooper only regarded this as comfort, nodded, and glanced listlessly in the direction of the valley.
Haruze walked through the dark forest, seeming to be attracted by the light outside. He trudged out holding the pine trees with his hands, and finally saw Lesmeka at the edge of the forest, and Medusa standing in the bushes.
On the edge of the bush, his eyes were fixed on the white rocks exposed under the moonlight. But what the little prince saw at eye level with the rocks was the shadow entrenched in the valley. That place was called Gray Stone Town, so the teacher told him
His, geographically speaking, was the exit of this valley, but he knew that the town was occupied by some special enemies at the moment.
"Are those your compatriots, Sister Lesmeka?" He walked behind Medusa and asked in a low voice.
"Compatriots, they don't count." Lesmeka had already heard the little prince's voice and replied.
Haruze looked at her puzzled.
Lesmeka turned back to look at the little prince, with a hint of gentleness in her amber eyes: "Little cutie, Qiaogendigang in human language is actually just a geographical term, and
It is not a country or a territory. The real Qiaogendigang is actually divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Each layer is very different. The ruler of the shallowest layer is the dwarf, and the middle layer is the Qiaogendigang you are familiar with.
Gang, the bottom level is the kingdom of the dark elves, and further down is the river flowing with lava and sulfur. In the dark underground world, there are thousands of different ethnic groups, and they have never had any concept of a country, even if they are
The most powerful lord often only rules one city and one territory, and smaller tribes all depend on the lord for their lives. Since the beginning of history, everyone has fought on their own and been hostile to each other."
As she spoke, she sighed. Haruze felt vaguely that maybe he shouldn't mention these things, so he stopped asking further.
After sending Cooper away, Brando watched the scene at the edge of the woodland from a distance when he returned to Nymesis.
"That Medusa?" He turned around and asked.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess promised to protect her, and Her Royal Highness the little prince seems to like her very much." Nymesis replied, but did not look there, as if she did not care about this matter at all.
"no problem?"
"It's not a big problem. Don't forget that she came with the devil."
Brando nodded. In the middle and lower classes of Qiaogendigang, the aborigines have a feud with the devil, but there are also a small number of people who have to serve the devil. They are slaves of the devil. With this background, plus the fact that they were originally
She personally sent the little prince back, so it was not without reason that Griffith believed in her so much.
There was silence between the two of them for a moment, silently looking in the direction of the valley. The wind blowing from the hills was caressing the entire pine forest above their heads, making a rustling sound.
"It's getting dark earlier and earlier." Nymesis said suddenly.
"Because it's almost late winter."
Nymesis glanced at him: "The direction of the meteor's fall is near the Beishan sentry post."
"There are many eyewitnesses, and most people's testimonies can prove this. However, most of them do not believe that it is true. They generally believe that it is a trick of Jorgendigon."
"The cavemen were looking for it."
Brando nodded. Although most people thought they were heading for Count Olkons, he actually had the answer in his mind.
Nymesis looked at him quietly with eyes as quiet as an orchid: "Could it be that thing?"
"You'll find out soon."
"So confident? That gentleman doubted that you could capture this place." Nymesis couldn't help but curl her lips when she thought of Cooper's face, but unfortunately Brando didn't notice. He heard
After hearing this, he also smiled and said: "What exactly is it? Don't you know yet? Although there are many famous generals in this era, 'we' also have our own methods."
"You want to say 'player'?"
Brando does not want to answer this question lightly. He has been thinking about it these days: Is history going to happen or change? If it is the latter, what is the opportunity?
The night is getting darker and darker.
It is obviously unrealistic to approach Greystone Town under the nose of the harpy before it gets dark. The eyesight of these monsters is comparable to that of their distant relatives on the surface. In fact, let alone the river valley,
As long as you step out of the shelter of the dense tree canopy, you may be targeted by them. As a reconnaissance unit among flying units, the Harpy is also ranked among the best in the entire Vaughande. In terms of reconnaissance ability alone, even Buga's Gargoyle
They are all slightly inferior to them, but they are very fragile and are used to jumping between underground rock formations. Their short wings are also very insufficient in climbing ability in the air, which makes them very disadvantageous in the fight in the sky.
.
However, it is also an illusion to approach Greystone Town after dark. Harpies are creatures of the dark. In fact, their vision is stronger at night than during the day, because they have slight light blindness, which makes them unable to
Adaptation to daylight in the surface world.
According to Ciel, the only way to approach Graystone Town quietly is for everyone to learn the art of invisibility - if so many wizards can be found to cast spells for the more than a thousand people hiding in the mountains and forests.
It seems that the only way is to attack by force.
But players are particularly good at such small-scale unconventional battles, so the choice between Brando and Nymesis is usually not that troublesome.
When the hour hand on Sir Cooper's silver pocket watch passed the twelve mark, a breeze seemed to rise in the forest. A small group of gargoyles were taking off from the woodland on the top of the mountain. But from above the forest, only black paint could be seen.
The lacquered tree crown swayed slightly, and the branches seemed to sink slightly under the pressure of the descending airflow. A total of seven or eight invisible air waves swept across the tree crown, and then disappeared.
Below the canopy, wizards in robes were watching the gargoyles blessed with invisibility spells take off. There was a second batch of gargoyles waiting to take off beside them. These gargoyles stood like statues when they were not activated.
In the forest, the folded wings almost exceed the height of the treetops. These are the backups for the first batch of gargoyles. If possible, everyone present sincerely hopes to succeed at once and not use these spare parts.
And under the cover of night, it seemed as if Martha was secretly on their side, and the plan went much smoother than imagined.
The eight invisible gargoyles began to climb as they ascended into the night sky. They quickly flew into the clouds and arrived above the heads of the harpies above Greystone Town. The moonlight poured over the clouds and filtered through the clouds.
Looking down through the gap in the gauze-like clouds, one can clearly see four circling black spots. The harpies have no inkling that danger is approaching. They are circling in mid-air in groups of two, using their sharp
Their eyes monitored the vast land. In their field of vision, the mountains and hills gathered from east to west under the starlight and moonlight were like miniature sand tables. The hills were shrouded in silver mist, making them appear quiet.
At this moment, the eight gargoyles had already locked their targets. After they climbed to the high point, they began to make the final turn and then dived.
Gargoyles, like griffons, are heavy flying units, and their wingspans are much wider and more powerful than griffons, and they are sturdier, which means they have almost the strongest climbing and diving abilities among creatures of the same level - in
In the game, gargoyles are the third-level arms closest to the fourth-level arms, griffins are the fourth-level arms, and harpies are the fourth-level arms closest to the third-level arms. The balanced abilities of the three flying creatures are almost equal.
time, but in terms of detection ability, the gargoyle is no match for the harpy, and in comparison with the fighting gargoyle, it cannot match the ferocious gryphon. However, in the pursuit of climbing and diving speed, the gargoyle of the Buga is well-deserved.
First.
Not to mention, the gargoyles swooping down from the clouds were still invisible at this moment. The four harpies had no idea that disaster was coming from the sky. It was not until the sky-piercing screams reached their ears that they panicked.
react to.
But it's a pity.
It was already too late. The precision of the construct allowed the eight gargoyles to enter attack range at the same time. When they showed their attack intentions and emerged from the invisibility spell, the harpies did not react at all. They just floated in vain in mid-air.
He struggled for a while, and then was struck by the cold claws through the fragile sternum. The eight gargoyles were almost all arranged in tandem, one after the other, in an attack sequence, in order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, but it turned out that
This is just unnecessary.
As soon as the gargoyle passed by, there was a shower of feathers in the air.
It's a pity that it's too high from the ground, and the feathers are flying in the air. By the time it hits the ground, I don't know where it has flown.
In the dark night, no one noticed that the battle in the sky was over before it even started——
The people waiting anxiously on the ground simultaneously received the message sent through the gargoyles. Rogers couldn't help but excitedly high-fived his companions, and the wizards in the forest also high-fived and congratulated. But at the same moment, on the mountain,
At the other end of the hill, groups of elves wearing feathered cloaks and clothing that were completely different from humans and holding long staffs were walking out of the forest. Their faces were painted with various patterns, and they looked a bit like barbarians in the mountains.
But their pointed ears revealed their identity - tree elf druids.
A small group of druids had already joined Brando's magician group during the Autumn Twilight War in Eruin. After the war, more tree elves came out of the dark forest and came to his territory.
Settling - this was part of his agreement with the druids in the Ring of Trade Winds, and as the magicians traveled with the Eruin envoy, these druids also came to the land of Cruz.
They recited ancient spells in the night wind, and then one by one they turned into thrushes or ravens, flying in groups from the mountains and forests, flying down the valley in the direction of Greystone Town.
Migratory birds often migrate in areas close to the inland sea of the empire, and even inland, flocks of ravens lingering on the hills are not uncommon. However, the druids still chose to disperse into the towns safely, and after losing the sky
Behind the eyes above, Jorgendigon's army could not notice these scattered birds at all. The druids flew into the city and landed in dark places - those dead ends, deep alleys or secluded courtyards.
, and then transformed into human forms one after another in a ball of green light. A group of several druids took out blue stones from their pockets and placed them on the ground according to a certain pattern to form large and small ones.
Magic circle.
Next, they began to inject magic into these stones. The green beam of light extended between the stones like a snake. When each stone was connected in series, the space above the magic circle vibrated.
A shining silver line appeared in the center. This silver line expanded to both sides, like an eye opened in the void, but this eye had no pupils, and there was only a strange space shining with blue-white light.
At this moment, far away in the hills, dozens of the same light doors opened, appearing in front of the White Lion Guards and the noble private soldiers of the Cruz people who had been ready to go. Everyone was stunned by the spectacle in front of them, "The Buga people.
The teleportation circle!" Rogers exclaimed, and he looked at Brando with a complex expression: "The craftsman wizards are indeed supporting you behind the scenes."
Brando smiled and said: "Mr. Knight, if your voice is louder and Sir Cooper hears it, he may start to doubt your identity."
Rogers' expression changed. After thinking for a moment, it was more important for him to hide his identity as a knight, so he cautiously closed his mouth.
