The Amber Sword - 925. Chapter 925

Brando pulled the tree away, and the branches and leaves of the shrubs rattled, like a window of densely overlapping branches being opened, revealing the scenery behind; looking down, it is an undulating terrace. There is a shining mirror printed between the mountains, and here is the Brown Bear Lake. Everyone sighed with satisfaction. These days, in order to avoid the encounter with Qiao Gendigang, it is not an easy task to trek through the forests of the mountains, especially after abandoning the carriage. For the delicate daughters and noble lords, it is simply terrible.

“Brando, there seems to be something over there!” Only Roman seemed tireless. She was holding Golan—the little daughter of Grand Duke Elson—the latter’s nurse at this time, even if she was supported by someone to move forward. ——I looked around and cried out quickly.

Brando knew that her ability to perceive was different from ordinary people, so he stopped and asked, “Can you see what it is?”

“It looks like a human being, one, two.”

“Is it a living or a dead person?” Qiara also asked. In these days, they have seen the abilities of the merchant lady more than once. At first, there may be some doubts, but gradually they become envy and amazement because of Roman, the envoy. The regiment’s guards don’t even have to take the risk to send gargoyles to the sky to investigate. Although the latter has a wide field of vision, it is easier to be exposed in the sky. Qiao Gendigang also has harpy banshees and Qiulosaurus as the air force.

“I don’t know, they are sitting back to back under a zelkova tree.”

“Did they move?”

“It doesn’t seem to have been moved.”

“That’s probably dead, where is it?”

“By the lake, there is a white rock, just under the third tree.” Roman replied.

Everyone took a deep breath. It was at least ten miles away from here to Brown Bear Lake. They could only see the canopy layer upon layer like an ink blanket, but the merchant lady could see the trees by the lake. Two people, what kind of vision is this? Grand Duke Goran-Elson’s little daughter looked at Roman who was holding her with a little admiration, and said crisply, “Sister Roman, you are amazing!”

Roman was happy in his heart, but he pretended to be very serious and replied: “That’s natural, I’m amazing.”

Brando glanced at this guy, although the latter’s face was strained to death, but the crooked eyes had exposed the thoughts in her heart. He shook his head and said, “Come and take a look.”

In the Bear Lake area, it is impossible to avoid Qiao Gendigang. There is a Greystone Town in this area. It is the only exit to the west of Yongyin Valley. Brando believes that the underground people will not let go. Go through this strategic point. Therefore, instead of passively fighting, it is better to prepare first. A group of people walked down the mountain and walked to the place Romain said. Sure enough, they saw the two sitting back to back under a tree. It was two Cruz soldiers who had been dead for a long time.

Everyone separated the bushes and walked near the corpse. Roman quickly covered the eyes of Grand Duke Goran-Elson’s daughter, while the others could see the gray tabards on the two corpses and the star-shaped rose emblem on the tabards. Brando recognized that it was the emblem of Sorwen, which was the emblem of the Kalonian dragon knight, which proved that the two men should be soldiers of the army somewhere in Andzlova. “Kalonia Dragon Knight, this is Sir Feist’s army!” Behind the Cruz nobles recognized the identity of the corpse and whispered: “North Mountain Outpost has also been lost?”

“Where is Beishan Outpost?” Brando asked.

“In the north of here, on the only way to Buos.” Rogers replied looking at the two corpses.

Brando nodded, squatted down beside the corpse, and examined the wound carefully. The first corpse had a penetrating wound, but it was not fatal by one blow. Instead, he died of excessive blood loss. He compared it under his shirt. The incision of the armor made a faint conclusion in his heart: the Kalonia Earthwalker was a Tier 3 unit, and it should have been another Tier 3 unit belonging to Qiao Gendi Gang, the Razor Boar. This kind of war beast is the tame of Shadr’s cavemen. Since the razor boar appears here, there should be Shadr’s cavemen in the vicinity.

The special ability of the Razor Boar is charge and die hard. The ability to charge is similar to that of a soldier. The die hard allows it to produce a false life equal to 10% of its total health after receiving enough damage to the death, until the false life is consumed. Or if it lasts more than ten minutes, the razor boar will really die. Brando thought of the ability of the Razor Boar, and suddenly cursed, thinking about how this ability is so similar to his own, but he was more puzzled that the ability of the Razor Boar was just caused by the low roar of the Kalonian Dragon Knight. Restrained, the low roar of the Kalonia Earthwalker can make most beasts except monsters fear. This is a weapon for the Kalonia Earthwalker to fight against other cavalry. It is also effective against the razor boar. It is reasonable. If the Kalonian dragon rider deliberately wants to run, it is difficult for the Razor Boar to pose a real threat to them.

With such doubts, he checked the second corpse. The injuries on this corpse were very strange. The neck and arms were strangely bent, as if they were broken. Generally speaking, such injuries were caused by blunt blows. However, the wound left by the blunt blow was not found on this corpse. Brando was wondering that Princess Magdal, who had caught up from behind, frowned and looked at the two corpses accompanied by Dilphary. , And then said: “Mr. Earl, don’t doubt, he fell to death.”

“Fall to death?” Brando suddenly realized that this man should have fallen from the back of the Caronian Dragon and smashed his spine. He was killed at that time. His body should have been robbed by another companion. Came out, but the latter also died due to excessive blood loss.

“It’s not that simple. How can a well-trained dragon rider fall off the dragon’s back, but they are fixed to the saddle.” Qiara replied to herself, while in Brando She squatted down next to her, and was about to poke the two bodies with her hands, but before she could touch them, her hands were pulled away by the latter: “The kid, let me stay away from these things.” Brando replied angrily. road.

“I’m not a kid!”

Brando stopped and looked at the little one.

Qiyala looked very upset, she muttered something to herself, no one heard it clearly, and it wouldn’t be a good thing to think about it. However, Qiyara’s previous words reminded him that the earth travel dragon knight was lifted from the back of the earth travel dragon, and the straps on his waist and legs were all broken, and it was obviously torn from the port. Cut off rather than being cut off, the Shader caveman obviously does not have this ability, and only the earth travel dragon can cause such a result.

It’s just that the Kalonian terrestrial dragons are very docile. They rarely go crazy on the battlefield and are not easily frightened. They have a deep affection for their masters. Even if the rider is unfortunately killed, they will stay next to the rider’s corpse. For a long time, Brando really couldn’t figure out why these two Kalonia Earthwalker knights would die here alone, and there was no shadow of their mounts nearby. If you talk about a Kalonia Earthwalker. The small probability of accidental madness is acceptable, but the current scene is really weird.

He thought for a long time and didn’t think of a reason, and it was at this moment that Roman suddenly yelled from behind: “Ah, what a big mouse!” At this time Roman yelled again.

Everyone turned their heads looking for voices, and they saw a giant mouse escaping from the woodland. The thing was gray and it dragged a long earthworm-like tail. It had three weird bone spurs on its back and its head was bigger than that. The average house mouse is even bigger. In addition to the huge incisors that rodents are accustomed to, there are two rows of sharp teeth in the open mouth of the blood basin. This thing hides under a nearby rock. It was shocked to find that it turned around and was about to get into the bushes, but Brando saw this thing, without thinking, picked up the long sword beside the corpse and threw it over, with a flash of silver light and a pop The giant rat nailed to the ground.

The little daughter of Grand Duke Goran-Elson happened to see this scene and hurriedly hid behind Roman with a low cry.

“What is this?” Qiara frowned and looked at the little thing struggling on the ground with disgust.

“The crypt rat, the hunting dog of the Shader caveman.” Nimesis replied in the back.

“They use this thing to spy on us!?” Averam was so scared that the fat all over his body trembled. The spherical duke’s son looked around with a bit of horror, as if the forest was full of these rats. Staring at them everywhere: “Should we have been discovered?”

“But this thing is quite conspicuous, as long as it gets close to us, I can find it.” Roman replied, “It’s actually not a big deal, don’t worry.”

Everyone glanced at the merchant lady with freak eyes.

However, her words made everyone feel a little more or less relieved. Some people might not be willing to follow Brando at first, but the experience in the past two days has proved his ability. He knows these underground creatures far better than The others, relying on their experience and judgment, finally walked out of Vargos calmly and avoided all the fighting that could be avoided; if these Cruz people followed Brando at first because they had to do so as prisoners, but now He has been regarded as a savior.

Over the past few days, they have passed through Hemlock Town, Vargos, and several villages. They have witnessed the scenes after the army of Qiaogendigang passed by, the villagers who were turned into stone statues, the imperial soldiers, or the heads stuck in the spears of the cavemen. I am always reminding them of the current situation. Now no one dares to believe that they are facing an army from the underground world. Even the most stubborn Earl Jin shut his mouth, and the noble lords began to become frightened. , Brando, who was the only calm, became their only support.

After all, compared to those fierce monsters, the same human beings are still much more amiable. The only thing that makes them a little bit complain is that Brando has collected their servant guards into a reserve team, and has confiscated their rations and changed them into a unified ration.

The sudden appearance of the cryptic rat distracted everyone, Brando no longer entangled in the dragon, he told Nimesis this doubt, the female knight also felt the same incomprehensible, but nothing. The answer, and then the two would no longer waste time on it. Obviously there is no time to bury the corpse right now, but Brando still asked Rogers and the four to tidy up the appearance of the two Kalonian dragon knights after death, and then put them in a secluded place, at least to ensure the minimum Decent, this won a lot of gratitude from the four knights of the inner court, even those Cruz nobles saw in their eyes that this Count from Tonigel may not be a rude person, and the hatred accumulated before is also invisible. Resolved a lot.

The team left the lake and continued to move north. Brando’s goal was to bypass the Brown Bear Lake before dark and reach the vicinity of Greystone Town. However, he realized that there might be Shadell cavemen nearby, so he slowed down the team. speed. The team moved slowly along the forest surrounded by the mountains and the lake, and later discovered the bodies of soldiers from the Imperial Local Legion a few times, once with a small group of foot swordsmen, and once with another Kalonian dragon knight, but the same He did not find his mount. Afterwards, traces of fierce battles and cavemen’s corpses began to appear in the woods. They were cavemen with purple-red skin and manes. They fell in the forest of fallen leaves. Obviously A Qiaogendigang army marching north along the Brown Bear Lake met Cruz’s local army. The two sides fought hand-to-hand in this forest.

There were even traces of magic bombardment in the forest. A flame passed by a horizontal plow in the nearby beech forest, leaving a scorched earth belt tens of feet wide and hundreds of feet long. The ashes were full of molten metal and other things. With fragments of things, Brando estimated that at least half of the squadron of imperial soldiers were killed here, but he was a little puzzled. This kind of magic is a bit like a demon warlock’s throwing chains of fire. Neither the elemental envoy nor the law wizard has similar spells. The wild elf sister Flor stood beside the scorched earth belt for a long time, also frowning without saying a word.

“It’s not an elemental spell.” She finally replied.

They crossed such a fragmented battlefield, but then more and more scenes like this appeared, making it hard to imagine what happened in the forest. Some places looked almost like the land left after the demon ravaged them, but in the team The Countess of Yanbao is extremely sensitive to demons. Brando has asked her several times, but all she got is negative. Rogers, Trevor, and Nasha seemed a little silent, and the imperial nobles who followed were also silent. In their minds, the empire was difficult to defeat, but this scene clearly broke the fragile expectations in their hearts.

At this time, Brando’s position in their hearts became more important.

But among them, only the black-haired young man named Kui was talking to himself: “Why are they attacking Buos, do they plan to bypass Greystone Town?”

When Brando heard these words, he turned his head and glanced at Nimesis, and then both of them shook their heads slightly.

When we arrived near Greystone Town, it was a little later than expected. The sun was slowly falling under the mountains, but there were still a few rays of light in the valley area. Brando and others stood on a nearby hill to observe the galaxy. In the town downstream, the direction of Greystone Town was pitch black, like a shadow in the valley, and the sunset glow in the sky was glowing with blood, as if it was a sign of some kind of disaster. No one in the team spoke alone, and everyone obviously understood what was going on. However, there was even worse news. Brando saw several harpies hovering in the sky, indicating that there were still underground garrisons in the town.

The expressions of the nobles looked a little ugly, because it meant that their wishful thinking to easily pass the Yongyin Valley exit was frustrated.

Brando had already anticipated this. He cautiously led the others slowly back from the top of the mountain to the woods behind, ready to discuss what to do, whether to wait for the garrison of Qiaogendigang to leave or pass by night, but it is At this time, Roman stretched out his hand and patted Brando on the back, and said in a low voice, “Brando, Brando, look over there, there are several people.”

Brando was startled and wondered if Miss Romance could you tell me earlier, but his body reaction was obviously faster than his brain, and he almost subconsciously pulled the merchant lady back and hid in the bushes. Although others don’t understand what’s going on, there are also ways to find their own concealment. Roman got up from the bushes, vomited a few mouthfuls of grass leaves, raised his head and wanted to continue looking around, but Brando pressed his head down. “Where?” Brando asked as he looked out through the bushes.

“There is a row of short trees under that, and there are a few people hiding under it. Have you seen it, Brando, they seem to want to go to the other side, ah, someone ran out, that’s the sneaky guy. “Roman kept trying to remove Brando’s hand from his head, but it was obviously in vain. At last, she had to answer with a little frustration. Brando looked in the direction she was pointing, and she saw one. The figure disappeared in a flash, and disappeared under a dense canopy of a hornbeam in an instant.

“That’s Walton!” Nasha on the side suddenly whispered when she saw the figure.

“Who is Walton?” Brando immediately looked at the Cruz female knight and asked.

“He is the captain of Sir Cooper’s guard. I met him once. He is a swordsman from Ludwig.” Nasha gave him a distrustful look, and after hesitating for a moment, she replied.

Brando looked back at Rogers, who hurriedly explained: “Nasha has a special ability. As long as the people she meets are never forgotten, if she thinks it is, then she can’t be wrong.”

“Why are they here?” Trevor was a little puzzled: “I thought they were killed on the north side of Linye Avenue, just like the Moore family.”
