The Amber Sword - 921. Chapter 921

Sure enough, as Brando expected, Earl Jin and his army entered this area one night in advance. They didn’t see any meteors and flames burning from the sky, let alone a reaction that resonated with artifacts. What he saw was no different from what Brando and Nimesis saw last night, except for the galaxy that lay in the mid-air and the starry winter night.

Now why this earl is left here alone, as if everything is true It was the first time the artifact fell into the world and it was reflected. Compared with the artifact, what could a Count of Eruin mean? Therefore, they rushed to the north for the first time, hoping to be the first to rush to the place where the meteor fell. Even if they could not take the artifact as their own, as the discoverer, the first existence dedicated it to the supreme empire— -Or the Temple of Flame, then they and the family behind them will share this unimaginable glory, even if it takes one step to reach the sky, it may not be impossible.

The inner court knights who belong to the royal family are naturally no exception. As the watcher of the Floating Cloud Hills, they cannot ignore such a big thing that happened on this land. In fact, Rogers knew the weight of the artifact, so he brought it. All the knights of the inner court in Hillat Villa, beware of those nobles doing irrational things.

But the problem is–

Earl Jien didn’t see it. He didn’t know what was happening in Vargos and Linye Avenue, which were less than twenty miles away. He happened to lead his men to scout the battlefield in the dark and occupy a favorable position that night. terrain. So everything that happened after one night can be explained.

Rogers’s face was a bit ugly, and he was certain that the strange scene last night should be clearly visible at least a hundred miles away, not to mention the hilly area very close to Linye Avenue and Vargos.

“Could it be that,” the female knight seemed to react: “…Is this a trap that Qiao Genbu set down?”

Large illusion.

Rogers first thought of this term, but when he and Fret turned to look at the dark-haired young man, the latter shook his head affirmatively: “That’s artifact resonance.” The young man replied affirmatively, and then Then he stopped speaking, as if it had nothing to do with him if you believed it or not.

“Kui, it doesn’t make sense.” Trevor said, “Well, I know you are the best, but the problem is that you are still young. You have to admit that there are many old and undead guys in this world who are better than you. Too many, it’s actually not a big deal to be planted in the hands of those people.”

Before he could finish his words, he saw the young man glance at him lightly, making the second half of his sentence stuck in his throat, and he had to spread his hand and say, “Okay, when I didn’t say it.”

Before Trevor finished his words, he heard a soft chuckle: “It’s a sad, stupid and unknowing person.” The inner court knight changed color suddenly, raised his head and looked in that direction, only to find a short man. The little girl tilted her chin up and looked at herself contemptuously. Trevor was so angry that he had a heart attack, but then he thought of an imperial knight to frighten a little girl as if he was disgraced, so he curled his lips and said, “Forget it, not like an uncultivated yellow-haired girl. Care about.”

But what he never dreamed of was that the little girl dared to snorted and replied with disdain: “Shut up, no brainy guys are not qualified to speak!”

“you……”

“The law of artifacts is the upper law, and the law of magic is the lower law. The upper law can simulate the power of the lower law, but this process is irreversible. This is also the basic principle of the Tiamat scripture. Otherwise, what is the difference between magic resonance and artifact reaction? I don’t know this, I really don’t deserve to be!” Qiara seemed to shook her head in disappointment. This little lady of the Westfah family has a soft voice, but she speaks very well, giving a very weird contrast. feel. But to Trevor, it sounded like a left slap on his face with the right slap, and his face swelled up from the slap–though he didn’t understand it for more than half of the time. In the end the little lady summed it up crisply: “Apologize to your companion because you insulted knowledge. If I have the slightest sense of shame, I will choose to hit and die on the red pine tree over there.”

“Do you know why?” She snorted softly: “Because the red pine tree is called the tree of fools by the mountain people, this title is for your Excellency thousands of years later.”

Trevor was stunned, but even the companions behind him couldn’t help laughing. If the Eruin made a provocation, they would naturally defend their companions. But the problem is that it’s just a child who speaks. Who cares about a little girl? The black-haired young man couldn’t help but glanced at Qiara more, while the female knight patted her tall companion’s shoulder sympathetically: “Trevor, who was in Eno said that as long as the swordsmanship class passed Can graduate as well?”

The knight of the inner court had a bitter face and regretted that his intestines were turning blue. Of course, what he regretted was not what he said at the beginning, but that he shouldn’t provoke this clever little lady.

Brando knew the horror of the sister Wang’s eldest son. He also only later learned that the other party’s mentor was Shazian. That guy was an old friend of Tulaman. In this era, Eruin was a master of ancient linguistics. A pivotal plot NPC. He had seen the kind-looking little old man, but he had never seen Qiyala, and he didn’t know how the other party spoiled this genius girl from the Westfah family, and he had cultivated her the character of a little witch.

He didn’t want to provoke Qiara, because he understood that the other party was still thinking about his’Knowledge of the Buga’, so he turned the subject away: “Mr. Rogers, I have a question for you. Before the resonance of the artifact, Varge Has anything unusual happened to Si, Linye Avenue, and even Hemlock Town?”

Rogers glanced at Brando, and instinctively felt that the other party seemed to intentionally not mention the falling meteor, but he quickly put this vague premonition behind him, pondered for a moment and replied: “The artifact resonance happened at nine o’clock. After that, it has been very calm until then. Most of the nobles did not leave their residences, except that Earl Jien set off from Linye Avenue in advance to go to this place.” He glanced at Brando’s wink and continued to answer: “In fact, it should be normal until our eyeliner delivers the message for the last time before the evening.”

“Have your eyeliner contacted you after that? You should use magic to contact you?” Brando knew that these inner court knights were mainly in charge, but they should have many outside informants.

“Master Earl, the magical communication in the entire area has been disturbed by artificial spells.” Rogers replied.

Brando was stunned, and then suddenly, Dimensional anchor and suppression spells are not uncommon in Voend, Qiao Gendigang’s underground army is obviously also capable of making these spells cover the entire area-the lair lord and the blind priest are both very Excellent spellcaster. He wanted to ask anything more, but saw the female knight hesitating to say something, but she said something to Rogers in a low voice, and the latter nodded, and then she mustered up the courage to answer: “Master Earl, there is one more thing. .”

“Speaking.”

“Before the resonance of the artifact, there was a long period of time in the entire Vargos area where a very harsh trembling sound could be heard. The sound should be from the clouds.” The female knight replied.

Brando patted his forehead. He hadn’t heard the sound at all. He thought for a moment and asked, “Does that sound sound like the sound of a fleet moving through clouds?”

The non-commissioned officer from Yanila Su Province raised his head keenly when he heard these words, and looked at Brando with some curiosity. The airship is still a new weapon in this era, and not many people are familiar with it. . But the female knight shook her head: “That voice sounds more like thunder, rumbling.”

Brando exchanged glances with Nimesis again, and then continued to ask: “You met a caveman halfway through, right? When was that probably?”

“Early morning.” Rogers replied affirmatively.

Brando pondered for a moment: “Well, let’s assume that all this is the conspiracy and tricks of the Qiaogendigang people, Mr. Rogers, do you know any natural entrances and exits to the underground in this area?”

“I know that there is one near Hemlock Town.” The tall knight replied, “I wanted to go in for an expedition one time. It was terribly big in there, but it was a pity that I didn’t go too deep.”

“Is it dark inside, Mr. Knight?” a crisp voice asked. The knight of the inner court saw that it was another little loli who was asking himself. He closed his mouth and said nothing, as if Eruin came from Little Lori is a demon with horns on her head.

The person who spoke to him was naturally Goran-Elson’s daughter, but this little loli didn’t expect Trevor to scowl as soon as she saw her opening, and gave her an angry look, scared. The little girl was crying.

“There is also a place near Linye Avenue.” Rogers replied.

Brando thought for a moment, it was almost in line with his memory, he looked at Nimesis again, who also nodded. “That is to say, when you meet a caveman, it will not be more than an hour before Qiao Gendigang launches an attack.” He thought for a moment, replied, and then turned his head and said to Metisa on the side. Bring our map.”

Medissa smiled and nodded.

Probably noticing the doubtful gazes of Rogers, Brando explained: “The people of the underground are gloomy and cunning, especially the Minotaur and the Harpy. They rarely fight unprepared wars. They are launching a surprise attack. I must have figured out your deployment before. Except for Earl Jin, we have not found any traces of other noble troops so far. This is very telling. Your stronghold in Hillit Hill is not a secret. They must have been eyeing it early in the morning. Here you are, from the underground exit of Linye Avenue to the vicinity of the farm where you met them, it is almost an hour’s journey at the speed of the caveman.”

Rogers and others are knights of the inner court. Their task is to monitor the movements of the local nobles rather than to be responsible for defense. So it is not surprising that they don’t understand these things. Therefore, Brando patiently explained that if the knights of the Knights of Folding Swords are here even these I can’t tell, Brando probably thinks this guy is a liar.

“Then what should we do now, Lord Earl?” Rogers asked Brando as if he had some confidence in the Lord Eruin after listening to Brando’s analysis.

Brando didn’t answer him directly. Instead, he waited until Medissa brought the map. Rogers and others could understand the map, but they had no idea how to infer the movement of an army. And Brando’s tactical knowledge is mostly inherited from the original memory of this soul. The militia will teach some superficial map knowledge. In his previous life, he was the head of the player adventure group and mercenary group, and presided over the local defense. He has learned some military knowledge, and in this life he has commanded several battles, large and small, and he can barely judge Qiao Gendigang’s offensive intention.

However, the most professional of all is Nimesis. This female knight is an honourable student from the Royal Knights Academy. She is a standard academic. She glanced at the map and said to Brando: “The distance to the hill of clouds The nearest place of the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain fortress group is too far away. From here all the way to the south, there are not only these two entrances and exits to the underground world. If they want to raid the fortress group from behind, there is no need to enter the surface from this place. world.”

“That is to say, if Qiao Gendigang has indeed been in an alliance with Toquinin, the one in front of us is probably not the main force?” Qiara asked at this time.

“This is a harassment force,” Brando replied looking at the map: “Their goal is to prevent the assembly of the Imperial Army in the hinterland behind the fortress group.”

His gaze crossed Hemlock Town, Vargos and Linye Avenue: “They must attack a few of the most critical points if they want to achieve this goal.”

The eyes of him and Nimesis fell on a town at the same time.

Asaph.

To the north of Anzeruta, among the small towns among the mountains, this is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. This city is called the White City of Cruz. Compared with the white city of Faenza, except that both cities use the same white rock walls, the other thing in common is an important land transportation hub. , Asaph is the end of the southern end of the Evergreen Walkway. This walkway connects to the central area of the empire. Its north is the flower-leaf collar, the east leads to the four realms, and the west is the heart of the empire-north of the Violet Valley. Once the city fell, it would mean that the entire southern part of the empire, from Rokozy to Anzeruta, to the Four Realms of Wilderness, collapsed across the board.

Although Rogers and the others did not understand the strategic intentions of Qiaogendigan’s army, they still understood the importance of Asaph. Seeing that Brando and Nimesis’ eyes fell on this point on the map, several imperial knights The face turned pale, and he clearly understood what the empire would face once the rats from the underground succeeded.

However, Brando’s heart was not so nervous. For one thing, it didn’t matter to him. Secondly, he understood that the situation was not bad enough. After all, the eagle above Cruz Heights was an eagle. How could it fail because of a sneak attack? . Asaph’s geographical location is so important that it has strong local legions in its four directions, not to mention the Imperial Navy stationed west of Rokozy. If Qiaogendigang’s harassment forces can capture Asaph, then They are not harassing the troops, but the main force.

The intention of this force is obviously to attract the attention of these local legions, so that they have no time to spare the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress group. If this’rat’ really achieves its goal, even if it only arrives. Near Asaph, it was basically declared that the empire’s defense at Anzeruta was over. Just such a blow was absolutely unacceptable to the empire.

Brando’s gaze moved back again and fell on Vargos and the north side of Linye Avenue.

“Hemlock Town, crossing Vargos and Forest Leaves Avenue will not be their goal. They should have crossed these places earlier today.” Nimesis replied.

Brando nodded in agreement with this, and the results of the investigation also proved this judgment. He stared at the map and was silent, but the several Cruz Knights of the Knights looked a little anxious, as if they were a step slower, the empire was about to fall into an instant. The situation is impossible to recover. Brando seemed to perceive the obvious anxiety of the other party. He deliberately looked at them, and Rogers finally couldn’t help but said: “Earl, I don’t know if the things you said before are true or false?”

“What?” Brando asked rhetorically, pretending to be ignorant.

Qiara watched the conversation between the two with interest.

Rogers licked his lips, and then replied: “My lord, you said there is a more perfect idea. If we can hinder the pace of these uninvited guests, maybe the situation in the south of the empire will not become as bad as imagined.”

Brando seemed to think of this sentence, and he nodded: “My army is here. Assuming that the harassment force of the Qiaogendigan is an entire army, do you think it is possible for us to defeat them?”

Rogers thought for a moment and shook his head.

“Then suppose that all of us here fight to the death and pay the price of everyone’s life, which can delay the pace of Qiao Gendigang, do you think we might do that?” Brando asked again.

Rogers showed hesitation on his face, and then shook his head a little heavy: “Earl, although you are an ally of the empire, the empire has no right to ask you to make such a sacrifice.”

Brando took a look at this guy in surprise, thinking that this guy still has a bit of chivalry, but he didn’t know if he said it because of helplessness. He shook his head and replied, “Suppose I tell you that I may be able to do the things I said above, do you believe it?”

Rogers had no hope at all. His only hope now was to follow the Lord Earl to break through, and then send a message to His Majesty in the shortest possible time, but when he heard Brando’s question in a daze, he couldn’t help but be stunned. , He raised his head in disbelief and asked: “…Your Lord Earl, what are you talking about?”

“Why, what I said is difficult to understand?” Brando replied in the original sentence.

“No, but—”

Rogers wanted to say something, but Brando interrupted him and said, “It’s not a question of yes or no — I only have one request, and that is to obey my orders. You also understand that it is impossible for us to shake Joe. The army of the roots, so I must get your help. Of course, if you are unwilling or feel unwilling to accept the command of an Eruin, then we choose the first plan.”

Rogers and his companions glanced at each other, and the inner court knight nodded immediately: “I understand, Lord Earl, what do you want us to do?”

Brando glanced at the red pine forest.

“It’s very simple. You go and persuade Count Jin to join us first. There are more than a thousand people under him. We can’t let them disband on the spot, right?”

…
