The Amber Sword - 926. Chapter 926 Act Eighty Dive Into The Night I
Brando understood that the inner court knight named Trevor was talking about what happened a day ago. After they left Vargos, they marched north along the galaxy, and left behind after encountering a fierce battle on the north side of the forest-leaf avenue. The battlefield of the empire is obviously the private armies of the imperial nobles and the underground creatures of Qiao Gendigang. The battlefield that lays across the long river beach and woodland avenue is full of humans, terrestrial dragons, griffins, cavemen and eagles. The corpse of the banshee, the wild blood has long solidified in the piercing low temperature of winter, forming a crimson color on the pebble. Cruz’s nobles recognized many familiar faces from the pile of corpses—Sir Moore was among them. , A bone arrow penetrated his throat, causing him to fall on his back on the battlefield, becoming one of many cold corpses.
Such scenes usually represent the fiasco of the empire. The Cruz aristocrats will not easily leave the remains of their companions in order to be honourable. Even the corpse capital of the aristocrats is ignored. It is almost conceivable that Count Alcons and his men would step on the cold water of the river. The scene of the north fleeing.
As for Qiao Gendigang, underground creatures seldom clean up the corpses on the battlefield-unless they are short of food, the impact of the disease on them is even minimal.
“Brando, they seem to be going to sneak into the town.” Roman suddenly reminded in a low voice, the merchant lady’s eyes gleamed in the twilight, like cat eyes in a low-light environment.
Brando also noticed this at this time, and he immediately said to Rogers: “Mr. Cavalier, how can you contact them?”
Rogers thought for a moment: “I know there is a secret signal in the local army in Anzeruta, maybe I can try it.”
“You try, but don’t let the things above your head find us.”
“I understand.” Rogers nodded and crawled into the bushes. He lay there and glanced at the dark bushes below, then inserted his thumb and index finger into his mouth and blew a whistle vigorously-the whistle echoed. In the mountains and forests in the twilight, it sounded like Ye Xiao’s scream, but it was obviously sharper. This sound of owl crowing unexpectedly attracted the attention of the harpies overhead. These monsters drew a huge horoscope in mid-air and flew in this direction. The people in the grass were motionless, waiting quietly for the sky. The patrolling gaze left, and after a while, the flat-haired beasts didn’t notice any abnormalities, and then flew back again.
Brando heard the long venting voices of other people around him, and he himself was slightly relieved, but the businessman beside him, as if heartless, didn’t feel scared at all.
The surroundings fell silent, and gradually there was only the sound of worms singing in the gloom.
The figures in the hornbeam bushes also stopped. Rogers’ forehead was full of nervous cold sweat. He knew several secret words of the Imperial Army in the Anzeruta area, but he said that he would definitely come in handy at this time. These local nobles He knew the best in his heart about the virtues of his private army. What he worries most is not that these guys could not hear the code, but that they misunderstood what the code did out of the ordinary. If it attracts the attention of the garrison in the city, it will be a hell. At this time, he suddenly realized that maybe he It may be the right choice not to speak just now.
The silence lasted for a while, and the bushes below moved again, and a rustling sound came.
“Huh.” Charles looked a little surprised over there: “There is a magician among them.”
山林中仿佛忽然起了风,山风拂过林冠,将枝桠刮得呼呼作响,但所有人都听到沙沙的杂音中好像有人类的低语:“对……面……是……谁?”
这是风讯术,少数几种可以在被魔法阻抑的区域内使用的传讯法术,因为借助的是自然的力量而非打破空间的法则,因此次元锚一类的法术无法对其产生作用。顶级的精灵使和德鲁伊甚至能将风讯传递到数千里之外的地区,不过风讯术有一个特点就是缓慢,信风从一个地区流向另一个地区有时候甚至需要一周甚至数月,何况对于大多数元素使学徒来说,风讯术一般只是一个不超过目视距离的近距离传讯法术,军队中的魔法师们常常用它来作为手语和唇语的补充。
布兰多回头对夏尔吩咐道:“告诉他们,我们是姬恩伯爵的人。”
夏尔惊讶地看着自己的领主大人,心想此刻身为阶下子囚的姬恩伯爵听了这话会不会活活气死,当然腹诽归腹诽,他还是依言而行。他虽然不是元素使,不过几种常见的魔法之中有其共通性,何况法则法术的其中一个特点就是模拟法则,风讯术这种近乎戏法一般的把戏对于他这个级别的存在来说模仿起来毫无难度,轻轻松松就把讯息传递了过去,甚至风中的话语明显比对方更加流畅。
夏尔的手段显然让对方吃了一惊,又沉寂了小片刻之后,布兰多才看到山坡下面的鹅耳枥树丛下一个接一个地站起来六七个人,他们探头探脑地向这边看了看,罗杰斯故意向他们挥了挥手,让这些人能确认他们的位置,后者看到罗杰斯之后,立刻猫着腰冲山顶上跑了过来,丘陵上的植被十分浓密,他们短促的跑动显然一时间并未引起来自于天空上的目光,片刻之后,他们就来到山顶上的一圈儿灌木丛边,跑在最前面的人最先看到了罗杰斯身后的埃鲁因使节团。
“你——!”
那人显然认出了布兰多,他面色一变,下意识就要后退,但布兰多怎么会给他这个机会,他生怕节外生枝,直接举起手,分布于广阔空间中的法则之线同时亮起,就像是一张网一样笼罩了这七个人,然后他将手一拽,七个人同时出现在他们四周,然后重重地摔在地上。
七个人依次着地,罗杰斯看到其中一人,满是惊讶地低呼道:“库珀爵士,你还活着!”
The guy he called Sir Cooper looked only in his early forties and fifties, but his short stature was born with a little bit of eyebrows, and his appearance was obviously not suitable for his aristocratic status, but everyone who knew him knew that he was a shrewd man. The guy, he realized that it was not good when he heard his captain of the guard whispering, and he turned around subconsciously to escape, but unfortunately it was still a step too late. Before he had time to take his legs, he felt his body was pulled up by an invisible force. The whole person rose into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground; he fell into a turbulent state, and his soul was scattered, and suddenly he heard someone calling his name–it is naturally impossible to recognize the monsters of Qiaogen. He came from his identity, and the other party’s Cruz language was also the standard Anzeruta’s local accent. His mind turned so fast, he immediately felt relieved when he heard this low whisper.
“Don’t shout!” He hurriedly asked his men in a low voice, then raised his head and looked around with suspicious eyes-his eyes first fell on Brando, then his face changed, and he clearly recognized this disturber. The Lord Anzeruta turned upside down, but then he noticed Rogers, who called him, and his eyes were slightly surprised: “I know you, your father is Burjat, aren’t you elected to the Royal Knights? ,How would it appear here?”
“It’s a long story,” Rogers didn’t dare to reveal his true identity, and said with a wry smile: “I came to Anzeruta because of a special mission. I didn’t expect to encounter this kind of thing. Now I am almost like you. They are all prisoners of Lord Earl, but Lord Earl promised to take us to a safe place. In comparison, Lord Earl only requires a ransom. Sir Cooper, don’t you want to be a prisoner of those monsters?”
Cooper shivered. Those monsters were going to kill. He had seen cavemen beheading a nobleman and putting their bloody heads on the picket. He shook his head hurriedly, directly ordered his subordinates to untie the saber, then handed it to Brando, then bowed to the latter and bowed to the latter, acting more calmly than the twisted Earl Jean: ” Lord Earl, your safety is all dependent on you. I have absolute trust in your credibility.”
Brando smiled. He didn’t know what credibility he had in these people’s hearts. The only relationship he had with these Anzeruta local nobles was that they took a large number of hostages from them, just half a week ago. Call him a demon, but now he has become a reputable Lord Earl. Not to mention Brando, even Ephraim, who was hiding in the woods behind, couldn’t help but be speechless when he saw this scene. This chubby young man couldn’t help turning his face away and asked him to squat in the bushes with him. The Duke daughter in China said: “You tell me I didn’t dream, right?”
The Duke’s daughter had a very complicated complexion, and she responded softly.
Brando knew that Rogers was turning the corner to remind Cooper of his attitude to him, but he didn’t care. The inner court knight was very talkative.
“Sir Cooper,” Rogers noticed Brando’s attitude before continuing to speak, “Why are you here, where are the others?”
When Cooper heard this question, his wrinkled face was crumpled: “Don’t mention it, Earl Alcons has been caught by those monsters.”
“What! Lord Earl is not dead yet?” Rogers was taken aback, and also attracted Brando’s attention.
“This… as far as I know it should not be dead, but I don’t rule out what happened during this period that I don’t know.” Cooper was obviously taken aback by Rogers’ reaction and had to carefully consider it. Replied.
“No, no, I thought you were wiped out on Linye Avenue.” Rogers realized that he had misunderstood and quickly changed his words and explained.
“That’s not true, but it’s almost the same.” Cooper sighed: “It’s all the blame for the damn monsters. We were all rushing north that night. These rats waited in the dark to ambush us, walking in the forefront. Sir Moore was the first to be attacked. Hey, poor old Moore. He was as strong as a bull. We all thought he could live to the end of the world. It’s really impermanent! In the dark, none of us knew who the enemy was. They came from all directions, everywhere in the sky and underground. We were quickly defeated. I was at the far south and only saw the Lord Earl and they escaped across the riverbank to the north.”
“Then, how did you know that Earl Alcons was arrested?” Brando asked suddenly.
“I saw it with my own eyes. After I separated from Lord Earl that night, I always wanted to find out where other people were going. Later I learned that they had gone to Buos.”
“Bouos!” Upon hearing this answer, Rogers, Trevor and Nasha couldn’t help blurting out at the same time, repeating the place name.
“What’s the matter?” Cooper looked at them puzzled.
“Nothing, you keep talking.” Brando replied.
Cooper nodded with a little suspicion, and continued: “Actually it’s not Buos. The count was surrounded by the North Mountain outpost before they arrived at Buos. When I got there, I saw them with my own eyes. Captured by cavemen.”
“North Mountain Post, but how can Earl Alcons go in that direction?” Rogers asked incomprehensibly, “Buos is a dead end.”
Regarding Buosbrando, she asked Princess Magdal beforehand. She knew that there was a crystal mine before the Year of Thunder. However, that place was prosperous because of the mine, and it was also declining because of the mine. A town famous for its mines has also declined day by day, and has gradually become a forgotten corner. But he thought that Mr. Earl probably wanted to find a place to hide. The other party knew that he would definitely not be able to pass the caveman, nor had any delusions about breaking through the siege and fleeing to Asaph or Ruen. He could only count on Qiao roots. The first target of the underground creature is Asaph, and will not go to the mountain to trouble him.
But it’s a pity that things are counterproductive–
“I think Lord Earl underestimated the size of that monster army. According to my observations, there are at least four different dungeon lords on the battlefield of Andzlova. They are sure to take Asaph in the first time. The troops can be divided to deal with the defenders of Buos.” Cooper shook his head.
“Nobody would have thought of this, we didn’t even expect them to come,” Rogers smiled bitterly and shook his head: “Those rats under the ground know us so well, we don’t even know who is leading them. , But they understand us clearly.”
He was only complaining on the surface, but he carefully concealed the real shuddering speculation in his heart. He did not forget the cavemen’s siege of them. Although the existence of the inner court knights is a semi-public secret in the empire, they are outside. Little is known about the identity of the inner court knights. The way the knights of the inner court communicate with each other is only in the hands of a few people. He really can’t imagine how the cavemen found them.
Whether it was a coincidence or a human factor, several names could not help but pop up in his mind, and as long as any of these names betrayed the empire, it would be an unimaginable disaster.
He can only pray, hoping that this is just a prank by Master Martha.
Brando listened to the conversation between the two, but his eyes fell far away in the valley that seemed to be filled with shadows. He suddenly asked with feeling, “Earl Alcons is in Greystone Town now?”
Cooper stopped talking and looked back at Brando. It took him a long time to speak: “I saw them entering Greystone Town. At four or five o’clock in the afternoon, the sun hadn’t set yet, and there was a long line. Passing through the valley, they came from the direction of the Beishan post, and they could clearly see that there were many human captives in the team… Assuming Lord Earl is not dead, I think he should be inside.”
“Have Greystone been captured before then?”
“Before that it was captured.”
“Then how can it be confirmed whether the Count of Alcons and the others are still in town at the moment, or have already left the town from the other side of the river valley and have been transferred to other places?”
Cooper opened his mouth: “To be honest, I didn’t think about it.” He looked at Brando suspiciously. He didn’t expect the young Eruin to think so carefully.
Brando didn’t care about Cooper’s question, and then asked: “Has the harpy on patrol in the sky changed classes?”
“Once,” the latter replied truthfully.
“So was there a harpy in the army of Georgon that attacked Earl Alcons?”
“This… doesn’t seem to be there.”
“That’s right,” Brando tugged at the collar of the earl’s trench coat, lest the cold night wind blows back into the neckline, he stared into the valley and replied: “The Shader caveman has two famous lords, one It’s Gerald the wizard, and the other is Tan servant. Neither of the two clans are allied with the Harpy. That is to say, the garrison of Joe Gendiegan in the town has not handed over defenses to the Shader cavemen—”
“They have left?” Cooper asked cautiously.
“That’s not necessarily true. I mean there may be more than one lord’s army stationed in this town.” Brando’s brows curled up, which is not good news for them.
Cooper also subconsciously closed his mouth, somewhat wondering what the Lord Earl was thinking.
“Sir Cooper, are you sure that the Jordanian army returned from the North Mountain post in the afternoon?”
“What do you mean by asking, Lord Earl, my scout will not lie to me.” Cooper looked a little angry because he felt questioned.
“Don’t be angry, I’m not suspicious of you, Sir Cooper, I just want to confirm one thing. Your scout really saw that the army of Joe Gentigan had returned to Ash after the attack on the Earl of Alcons at the North Mountain Post. From Stone Town?”
Cooper was about to speak of course, but he was stunned after only half a byte, and then showed a look of surprise.
Roger’s reaction was stronger than him. He almost jumped up and shouted: “They returned to Greystone Town directly after attacking the North Mountain outpost!? What about Bouos, are they just directed at the Earl of Alcons? To go?”
“This…” Cooper looked blank: “I don’t know what is going on!”
