The Amber Sword - 922. Chapter 922 The Seventy Seventh Act From Vargas to Roen

The news of Qiao Gendigang’s invasion of the empire was a bit too shocking, and everyone needed some time to digest it. After the four inner court knights left, the others also dispersed. Metissa, Charles and others had to prepare for the next possible battle. The other members of the envoy had their own concerns and were persuaded by Brando. Going back, only Yuta stayed with him in the end. The head of the mercenary was the nominal guard commander of the White Lion Guard who accompanied the envoy and needed to stay and wait for Brando’s order.

But besides that, there were two uninvited guests, Qi Ya did not see anything, still staying aside with interest, the Duke daughter did not seem to plan to leave.

After everyone left, Qiyala asked, “Hey, what are you thinking of?”

Brando glanced at the little girl: “What are you doing here?”

“Why can’t I stay here?” Qiara said, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”

“Of course it’s to solve the trouble, didn’t I say it earlier?”

“Huh, I can guess without you telling me,” the little girl replied triumphantly: “But you really intend to stand with the Cruz people?” She looked at Brando curiously, because of the scarce Cruz descent. , Her eyes appeared natural light blue, transparent like glass.

“Now we have common interests, why not?” Brando replied.

“That’s true, but it doesn’t match your style of behavior.”

Brando was a little funny, and couldn’t help but deliberately squeeze on her and said: “Ms. Qiyala, I have been with you for less than a month, and I spent more than half of the time hiding in the carriage. What kind of style do I have? , Do you understand it clearly?”

Qiyala glanced at the Duke’s daughter on the side: “Arbitrary, self-sufficient–”

“Stop!” Brando watched the Duke’s daughter move, as if he wanted to speak, and hurriedly called to stop, he was already two years old.

Qiyala smiled: “What’s the matter, although I don’t know why, but I always think you hate the imperial people, at least you won’t say that righteous and awe-inspiring words-what is the loyal alliance of the imperial, even this kind of thing Other nobles are just talking, I don’t believe your nonsense.”

Brando gave this little girl from the Westfah family a little surprised. She was actually not much bigger than the little daughter of Grand Duke Goran-Elson, but compared with them, it seemed that one was already an adult, and the other was an adult. Still a genuine loli, of course Qiara still has the childishness of a girl, but compared to the latter, it is at least the difference between heaven and earth. He did not expect that the other party was really observing him, and he also said about his mentality. Nine does not leave ten. If the person who speaks is someone who is familiar with him, or a person who is observant like a senior, then he may not be surprised at all, but the one who speaks is a small thing.

“How is it, terrified?” Qiyara looked at him: “Actually, it’s not a big deal. You guy’s city mansion is written on your face. It’s not difficult at all. In fact, I know a lot of things, why? So, do you want to make a deal with me?” She looked at Brando and replied confidently: “You guys definitely didn’t come to the empire for holy war, at least not only, you don’t have to lie to me, tell me I don’t believe it. All in all, what you are going to do must be troublesome. Although you guy has a good judgment on the general situation, but your brain is too dull. The layout and the end of the game are equally important things. Even the latter can often determine success or failure. If you ask me, maybe I will help you with kindness.”

Brando looked at the arrogant man: “Then I really want to thank you.”

“Actually, it doesn’t have to be. You can see that you are very stubborn. You must be unable to look down to ask this lady,” Qiyala said again, “but we can make an exchange, or you can tell me the knowledge inheritance of Buja people. , Can I help you make suggestions?”

Brando looked at the little loli showing the fox tail, and couldn’t help shaking her head. This was not the first time. The other party seemed to have knowledge of his vain Buga. But now he was not in the mood to tell the bedside story to this little girl, so he had to answer casually: “The knowledge of the Buga people can’t be finished in a short while, their knowledge recorded in the scriptures can be filled with white pagodas. I’m afraid that when we leave the empire, I haven’t finished the beginning with you. Trades are fair, and I won’t do unfair trades.”

“It’s okay!” Qiara blurted out, “I’m going to live with you for a long time anyway.”

“Huh?” Brando looked at the guy inexplicably.

Little Lori patted her cheek lightly, and hurriedly changed her words: “I mean I can live with you for a while, why, don’t you welcome a lady as a guest?”

Brando looked at the little girl from head to toe, and didn’t see where the arrogant had contact with the lady.

At this time, a certain real lady, Grand Duke Vieiro’s daughter finally waited for the opportunity to interrupt the unnutritious dialogue between the two and asked: “Earl, did you know about the roots of Joe?”

“What’s the matter?” Brando noticed the suspicious look of the Duke’s daughter, and was slightly taken aback.

“It’s what’s happening right now, did you know it?” The Duke’s daughter stared at Brando. She had always wanted to ask this question since before-when Brando and Rogers and others said that. She immediately remembered Brando’s promise-although he had had an affair with the Cruz people before, but if he could make a move to restore the situation at this time, everything he did before would not cause him trouble, on the contrary. It will also become his glorious emblem, a nobleman who will neither succumb to the power of the empire, nor abolish justice due to private enmity, and distinguish between right and wrong. Coupled with his performance in this war, you can imagine whether in The empire is still in the kingdom, which will bring him much fame and reputation.

But what made the Duke daughter start to feel a little scared in his heart is how he guessed all this? How did you expect Qiao Gendigang’s offense? How did you expect the empire to be in trouble?

If this is a pre-arranged layout, it would be too scary.

Brando glanced at Eunice, as if he expected what the other party was thinking, and nodded simply: “Yes, Miss Eunice, it was actually I who contacted Qiao Genigang and let the people of the underground and the Lion of Toquinine form an alliance. Then ordered them to attack the empire. You know, I have an earth sword in my hand. Although it is broken, it can still be used. I have seen them in the trade wind ring earlier, and they cried and shouted to let I was going to be their warchief and said that I would marry the saint to me, but based on the principle of not intermarriage between different species, I rightfully refused, by the way-you have seen their saint ?”

The Duke’s daughter stared at the Lord Earl, but the more she listened, the more outrageous she finally realized that the other party was only teasing herself: “You…” In the end she could only snorted bitterly, knowing this. The guy will never tell the truth to himself.

On the side, when Uta heard Brando talking about the saint of the Lion Man, he finally couldn’t help but sneered, thinking that the lord himself was too serious. Those words just now were going to be heard in the ears of the Lion Man. , I’m afraid that the enemy of Toquinine of Golden Mane tomorrow is not the empire, but the new head of the envoy of Eruin. She chuckled and caused Brando to take a look here. He hadn’t seen this beautiful mercenary captain under him yet. Uta almost immediately realized his gaffe, and hurriedly reduced his mind and lowered his mind. The head blamed his lord.

Brando’s words were absurd, but in fact they did not deny the questioning raised by Ouni. The Duke’s daughter understood the meaning contained in it after a little thought. She has always been frightened and frightened these days, but the current situation seems even more serious. It was broken, but it more or less let her see a ray of light-at least it seems that their envoy leader is not so unreliable, how many people say he is a lunatic, but how many people expected it today ?

She was silent for a moment, as if she had a little confidence: “Master Earl, what you said to those Cruz people, is it true?”

“I talked a lot with them, and there are inevitably some nonsense,” Brando replied, “but which paragraph are you asking?”

The Duke’s daughter gave him a blank look: “You said you can restore the situation, isn’t it a joke?”

“Not all,” Brando replied, “Miss Euni, this is the beginning of a huge war. There are very few things we can control in this war. Seriously, at least until now, we have not We, the outcome of this war will not change much.”

The Duke’s daughter opened her eyes again. She understands diplomatic etiquette, but she doesn’t know anything about military matters: “But you still tell them that?”

Qiara couldn’t help but chuckle when she listened to the conversation between the two.

“Miss Euni,” she replied, “This is the cunning of this guy. In a war, any factor will affect the outcome of the war, but the key is how much it affects. Of course he can restore the situation, but The key is to restore it to what extent. This is not a good idea. No one is a god in the sky and can pack a vote for this kind of thing.”

“So you are lying to them?” The daughter of the Duke felt that she was about to take back her previous thoughts. That was the knight of the inner court of the empire and the spy of the royal family. What’s the difference between this and lying in front of the highest man in the empire?

“It can’t be called a lie. We can indeed get away. I just tried to give them a little confidence. After all, it is their duty to defend the empire, not ours. We stay and help them. “Benevolence and justice are done.” Brando replied: “Don’t worry, no one knows how bad the situation will eventually be, or how good it will be. We really don’t have to beat Qiao Gendigang, but as long as we do better than others. That’s it. As for what happens then, it depends on what we say.”

The Duke’s daughter finally got a little clue, which seems to be no different from foreign affairs, because they are all the same shamelessly: “Earl, what are you going to do next, will the embassy be dangerous?”

Brando shook his head this time, and he couldn’t answer this question. Just as Nimesis said, history has brought everyone back to the same starting line, and Qiao Gendigang’s participation in the war has completely changed the one he knows. history. Qiao Gendigang is not a real country, maybe it can only be called a kingdom. It is a general term for the underground world. In the dark underground, only the lord, the city lord, the patriarch, and different ethnic groups live together to form a big and small Xiao Lingluo’s scattered forces, and now he still doesn’t know which lords or lords are in contact with the Toquinine Lions, but Brando has a vague premonition in his heart that the invasion is not simple. .

Qiao Gendigang’s power composition determines that its lords rarely launch large-scale military operations, but if the current situation is as he expected, it is a rare move in the underground world, and it may not only include the actions of a few lords. , But Brando felt that this idea was a bit too absurd, even he couldn’t accept it.

There is also a thick mist in front of him waiting for him to clear away, the familiarity with history is quietly disintegrating, and what is left to him is the experience of two lives.

Brando replied in a low voice: “I have a vague idea, but I have to wait for confirmation; before that, we have to minimize conflicts with them, but we still have to break through. If you accidentally fall into those underground creatures In the encirclement of, then we can’t do anything.”

“Break through,” the Duke’s daughter asked: “Which way to break through?”

“It’s best to break through the inland sea.”

“Inner Sea?”

Brando nodded.

The snow on Anzeruta’s mountains melted to form rivers. These rivers flow westward through many duchy, into the Sea of Dead Moon, southward into the territory of Eruin, and finally into the shining sea, while the northward rivers form the inner Inland rivers, these rivers flow through the north of Andzlova, gradually scouring out a hilly area, which is today’s Floating Cloud Hilly Area. One of the most famous is the Galaxy, which traverses Andzlova and opens up the Valley of Silver. The southern part of the valley is called the Vargos region, which includes large and small towns such as Vargos and Hemlock Town. To the north is the Bear Lake area, where the river forms a lake on the hilly terraces of this place, and then flows eastward under the block of the Shortmane Mountains, into a huge inland lake.

And this lake is what Brando called the inner sea-the inner sea of the empire.

The Imperial Inland Sea is also called the Sublime Inland Sea. It is a huge inland lake in itself, but it spans dozens of regions and the salt content of the lake is extremely high, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the sea. The lofty Inland Sea starts from the Cape Bay in the west, to the Metz region in the north, to the Shortmane Mountains in the east, adjacent to the Evergreen Walkway, and to the south is the end of the Rokozi Plateau, a fertile alluvial plain. The entire sublime inland sea almost divided the empire from east to west and south to north, but it gave birth to the most glorious civilization of the Cruz people. The numerous ports and cities dotted along the coast have kept this huge empire in the past thousand years. Closely connected among them, in the long period of time, the periphery of the entire Inland Sea has almost formed the most prosperous and quintessential area of the empire, the continuous southern Great Plains, the prosperous Cape Bay, and the shipbuilding town of Bandyron. , As well as the empire’s heartland-Violet Valley.

It can even be frankly stated that if the entire empire is a sophisticated magic machine, the sublime inner sea is the core of this machine’s magic. It provides the empire with a steady stream of abundant power and energy, materials, manpower and money, and even more Government orders from the center of the empire are passed to all corners of the empire through this inland sea.

And the lofty inner sea, on the west of the floating clouds and hills, the entrance of the Milky Way, Brando knows that there is a port called Ruen. Sa is standing from north to south. If Asa loses, then this port will be the last springboard for the empire to counterattack into Andzlova in the future. Of course, it is impossible for Qiao Gendigang to let go of this port, but the problem is that Brando can be sure that the opponent’s attack center will definitely be Asa and not Ruen, because in the Violet Valley to the west of the Evergreen Walkway, and to the north. The Huaye Ling is stationed in a large number of local legions, not to mention the Scarlet Legion in the Wilderness of the Four Realms. If they can’t take Asaph in the shortest time, then even the Golden Mane of Toquinine has fallen. The Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Range defense line will also be blocked by Vargos by various imperial legions who have come after hearing the news. At that time, if you want to take Asaph again, I am afraid that you will have to pay a tragic price.

On the other hand, after taking Asaph, dealing with the small port of Ruen is a matter of catching turtles in the urn. At that time, even if the Cruz people reacted, it would never be possible for the army of the Violet Valley to swim across the lofty inland sea. Support Luen?

When Ruen fell, the imperial navy lost its fulcrum for landing. The center of the war could only return to Asaph, and the empire had to break through land. Obviously, this is what the underground people of Qiaogendigang want to see most. matter.

The Duke’s daughter seemed to understand Brando’s thoughts, but her gaze fell on the map. There were at least three regions from Vargos to Ruen. Obviously, the journey would not be too smooth. It doesn’t only need to experience what kind of breakthrough.

“This road is not easy to follow,” Unlike the silence of the Duke’s daughter, Qiara asked directly: “Qiao Gendigang has already walked in front of us. Are you sure you guys can break through their blockade? ?”

Brando shook his head slightly, grasping based on certain information, but at this moment, all they can do is wait-I believe that soon, the exact news will come back. From Vargos to the Bear Lake area, where did Qiaogendigang’s army advance during this day? Did the imperial troops stationed there, especially the private armies under the nobles, resist, or even flee? Wherever he fled, this is all the information he needs.
