The Amber Sword - 929. Chapter 929 Act Eighty-Four Dive into the Night IV

Time returned to half an hour ago.

Compared with the commotion in Greystone Town, the nearby hills were quiet. On the top of the hill where the Eluin envoy was located, everyone stayed quietly in the pine forest. Because of scruples about the harpy hovering in the sky, no one Dare to make a fire, or do something out of the ordinary, even if you have to speak softly-everyone is waiting for the sky to be completely dark.

But before that, the time became extremely boring and long. Some people were whispering, some were eating dry food to maintain their strength, and the four inner court knights in the woodland were discussing about the North Mountain post. Roman is telling a story with the little daughter of Grand Duke Golan-Elson. The latter looks at the merchant lady with admiration. The former has a special ability to tell things that haven’t happened. She is telling her story. The merchant group, the merchant ships with huge sails like clouds crossed the shining sea, along the waterway to the prosperous ports and wild areas, the giant beasts lurking in the distant sea, the storms bred on the sea, the strange fish and the mortals are rare in a lifetime. The spectacle she saw, although she had never been to those places, but as if she had seen it with her own eyes, it was fascinating and fascinating. Soon there were other people gathered around her. Brando saw three loyal audiences of Romance, Sugar Bowl, Dilphary and Hippamila, and then joined Chiara and Magdal. Princess.

The Duke’s daughter is accompanying Yinid to count the stars. The strange starry sky of Warnder always shines from east to west. The night sky is like a black cloth sprinkled with jewels, shining, and a long river of stars has fainted. Emerging, as if announcing the final arrival of the night. But after the light of the stars and the moon converged, the outside of the woodland became brighter, and the silvery valley radiated a faint light under the night.

Before the night fell, Brando had been asking Cooper about the situation in Greystone Town. The latter also wanted to take advantage of the night to stand out from the encirclement, but suffered from the tight guards in Greystone Town, not to mention the sky. He could do nothing with a few harpy. He didn’t know much about the current situation in Greystone Town. When asked, Brando could only answer a few questions vaguely. However, as a local nobleman, he knew very well about Greystone Town itself, where there is a market. He knew exactly where there were open streets, where there were barracks and towers, where there were temples, and he was able to draw a simple map.

Brando asked in great detail, making Cooper very puzzled, and couldn’t help asking: “My Lord Earl, are you really sure to take down Greystone Town?”

“It’s hard to say, everything will be known after nightfall.” Brando replied.

“Master Earl, the Qiao Gendigang troops stationed in Greystone Town are not weaker than us. They also have defensive advantages. The individual combat power of the harpy and caveman is also stronger than our swordsmen and spearmen— —Of course, maybe it’s not as good as your army, but according to my observation, you don’t bring many guards, sir?” Cooper asked cautiously.

In Eruin, especially in the southern region, the noble spearmen are at most equivalent to Tier 1 arms, and the average level is even not as good as the infantry swordsmen and spearmen of the local army. However, in Cruz, the level of the noble private soldiers is still slightly lower. Stronger, they can be equal to the swordsmen in Eruin’s first- and second-tier army. They belong to the second-tier arms like the cavemen. However, there are also strong and weak points among the same-tier arms. The cavemen belong to the middle-ranking second-tier arms. At a higher level, Cruz’s noble spearmen and swordsmen are at best the second-tier arms. The human army is slightly better in discipline, but it is far worse in individual combat effectiveness. Disciplinary advantage When fighting in a large army, it can often show obvious advantages, but in small-scale battles and raids, personal strength can determine the outcome of a battle.

Not to mention that Qiao Gendigang also has the Harpy and the Razor Boar, which are genuine third-order creatures. If there are one or two lair lords or minotaurs in the town, it will be really for the armies of the nobles in these places. It’s a disaster.

The clan of Shadr cavemen is not powerful in the underground of Qiaogendigang, but it is equivalent to the local army of the Cruz people under the same scale, such as the lords that Brando is very familiar with in history, such as Turlock, The “Blind King” Shattuck or the “Beast Tamer” Shireka, their army also has a battle against the border legion in God’s country, and if there is such an existence after Geralt and Medusa, if they do their best, Even the front-line army of the empire may not be able to control it alone.

“What do you think, Sir?” Brando asked.

“I think we should find a way to get around… We are few people, and walking through the hills may not be able to find them.” Cooper thought for a while, replied hesitantly, as if even himself felt that his suggestion was not so reliable. Brando smiled after hearing it, and shook his head slightly. It is impossible for one or two thousand people to march in the hills without being discovered. Let alone one or two thousand, even if it is one or two hundred people, once they move, the tree will be dense. The shade can’t be covered, unless everyone is scattered in groups and scattered into the hills, but that requires much space and long time, we don’t have this leisure at all now.

If we don’t get rid of the defenders of Greystone Town, we will not be able to leave this place safely.

“Hey,” Cooper sighed, a little desperate: “Is it necessary to fight, there is no other way?”

Brando saw that he seemed to be frightened by the people from Qiao Gentian, so he could only comfort him by saying: “Sir Cooper, Greystone Town is not as difficult to conquer as you think.”

Cooper only regarded it as comfort, nodded, and cast a listless look in the direction of the valley.

Haruze walked through the dark forest, as if attracted by the light outside, he walked out with his hands on the pine trees, and finally saw Lesmeca at the edge of the forest, and Medusa standing in the bushes. On the edge of the bush, his eyes were on the bare white rock under the moonlight. But the place where the little prince saw the sight of the rock was a shadow entrenched in the valley. That place was called Greystone Town. The teacher told him that, geographically speaking, it was the exit of this valley, but He knew that the town was occupied by some special enemies at this moment.

“Are those your compatriots, Sister Lesmeca?” He walked behind Medusa and asked in a low voice.

“Are you compatriots? It’s not counted.” Lasmeka had heard the little prince’s voice long ago and replied.

Haruze looked at her puzzled.

Lesmeca turned her head and looked at the little prince, with a hint of gentleness in the amber-colored pupils: “Little cute, in human language, Qiao Gendigang is actually just a noun in the geographical sense, and It is not a country or a territory. The real Qiao roots are actually divided into three layers, the upper, the middle and the lower. Each layer is very different. The ruler of the shallowest layer is the dwarf, and the middle layer is the Qiao root that you know well. Gang, the bottom layer is the kingdom of the dark elves, and further down, there is a river flowing with magma and sulfur. In the dark underground world, there are thousands of different ethnic groups. They have never had a concept of a country, even if they are The most powerful lords often only rule a city and a territory. The smaller tribes are dependent on the lords to live. Since history, everyone has fought and is hostile to each other.”

While speaking, she sighed, and Haruze faintly felt that perhaps she shouldn’t bring up these things, so she stopped asking questions.

After sending Cooper away, Brando looked at the scene by the woodland from a distance when he returned to Nimesis.

“That Medusa?” he asked, turning around.

“His Royal Highness promised to protect her. His Royal Highness seems to like her very much.” Nimesis replied, but she didn’t look there, as if she didn’t care about it 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 levels of Qiao Gendigang, the aborigines are feuds with the devil, but there are also a small group of people who have to serve the devil. They are slaves to the devil. She personally sent the little prince back, so it was not without reason that Griffith believed in her so much.

There was a moment of silence between the two of them, silently looking at the direction of the valley, the wind blowing from the hills rubbed the entire pine forest over their heads, rustling.

“It’s getting darker and earlier,” Nimesis said suddenly.

“Because it’s almost winter.”

Nimesis glanced at him: “The falling direction of the meteor is near the Beishan post.”

“There are many witnesses, and the testimony of most people can prove this, but most of them don’t believe it is true. They generally think that it is Qiao Genjigang’s trick.”

“The cavemen are looking for it.”

Brando nodded. Although most people thought they were aimed at Count Alcons, he actually had the answer in his heart.

Nimesis looked at him quietly with her eyes like orchids: “Could it be that thing?”

“I’ll know soon.”

“So confident? The Sir Jazz really doubts that you can take this place.” Nimesses couldn’t help but cocked the corner of his mouth thinking of Cooper’s face, but it was a pity that Brando didn’t notice it. He listened. After I got there I also smiled: “What exactly is going on, don’t you know. Although there are many famous people in this era,’we’ also have our own means.”

“Are you trying to say’player’?”

Brando does not want to answer this question lightly. He has been thinking about all this these days: Does history tend to happen or change, and if it is the latter, what is the opportunity?

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Before the sky is dark, it is obviously unrealistic to get close to Greystone Town under the eyes of the Harpy. The eyesight of these monsters is comparable to their distant relatives on the surface. In fact, don’t talk about the river valley. As long as they get out of the shade of the dense tree canopy, they may be staring at them. As a scout unit in the flying unit, the Harpy is also ranked in the forefront of the entire Vaughan. Only in terms of detection ability, even Buga’s gargoyles are slightly inferior to them, but they are very fragile and accustomed to In addition to leaping between the underground rock formations, the short wings have a very inadequate climbing ability in the air, which makes them very less dominant in the fight in the sky.

However, it is a delusion to approach Greystone Town after nightfall. Harpy are creatures in the dark. In fact, their eyesight is better at night than during the day, because they have a slight photoblindness, which makes them very incapable. Adapt to the daylight of the surface world.

According to Charles, the only way to get close to Greystone Town quietly is for everyone to learn invisibility-if so many wizards can be found to cast spells for more than a thousand people hidden in the forest.

It seems that there is only one way to attack.

But players are particularly good at such small-scale unconventional battles, so the choice between Brando and Nimesis is usually not that troublesome.

When the hour hand on Sir Cooper’s silver pocket watch crossed the twelve mark, there seemed to be a breeze in the forest. A small group of gargoyles was taking off from the woodland on the top of the mountain, but from the forest, only black paint could be seen. The lacquered canopy shook slightly, and the branches seemed to sink slightly under the pressure of the descending air current. A total of seven or eight invisible air waves swept across the canopy, and then disappeared.

Under the tree canopy, wizards in long robes are watching the gargoyles blessed with invisibility spells take off. Next to them are the second batch of gargoyles waiting to take off. These gargoyles stand like statues when they are not activated. Between the woodlands, the folded wings almost exceed the height of the treetops. These are the backups of the first batch of gargoyles. If possible, everyone present sincerely hopes that they can succeed at the first time and do not use these spare parts.

And through the night, it seemed that Martha Mingming was on their side, and the plan went far smoother than imagined.

Eight invisible gargoyles ascended into the night sky and began to climb. They quickly flew into the clouds and came to the heads of the harpies above Greystone Town. Moonlight poured on the clouds, through Looking down through the veil-like cloud and mist gap, you can clearly observe the four black spots that are hovering and flying. The harpy did not foresee that the danger was approaching. They were hovering in pairs in the air, watching the vast ground with sharp eyes. In their vision, the mountains and the mountains gathered together under the stars and moonlight The hills are like a miniature sand table, and the hills are covered with silver haze, appearing to be quiet.

At this moment, the eight gargoyles have each locked on their own targets. After they climbed to a high point, they began to make the final turn, and then launched a dive.

Gargoyles and griffins are heavy flying units, and their wingspan is much wider, more powerful, and stronger than griffins. This means that they have almost the strongest climb and dive capabilities among creatures of the same level. In the game, the Gargoyle is the third-tier arms closest to the fourth-order arms, the Griffin is the fourth-order arms, and the Harpy is the fourth-order arms closest to the third-order arms. The balance abilities of the three flying creatures are almost in the middle of the game. In time, but better than the ability to detect the Gargoyle is not the opponent of the Harpy, better than the Fighting Gargoyle than the ferocious Griffin, but in the pursuit of the speed of climbing and diving, the Bugga’s gargoyle is well-deserved. First.

Not to mention, the gargoyle swooping down from the clouds at this moment is still in a state of invisibility. The four-headed harpy didn’t know that the disaster was falling from the sky. They were panicked when the screams from the sky reached their ears. react to.

But a pity.

It was too late. The precision of the construct allowed the eight-headed gargoyles to enter the attack range at the same time. When they showed their attacking intent and emerged from the invisibility spell, the harpy didn’t respond at all, they just stayed in the air in vain. After struggling for a while, the fragile breastbone was penetrated by the cold claws. The eight-headed gargoyles are almost all arranged in a sequence of attacks one after the other, one master and one attack, in order to prevent fish from slipping through the net, but the facts have proved that this is just superfluous.

As soon as the gargoyle passed by, a feather rain fell in the air.

It’s a pity that this place is too high from the ground, and the feathers are fluttering, and I don’t know where it is when I land.

In the dark night, no one noticed the battle in the sky that had ended before it started–

The anxiously waiting people on the ground also received the message from the gargoyle. Rogers couldn’t help but slapped his companions with a little excitement, and the wizards in the forest also gave high-fiving congratulations. But at the same moment, on the other side of the hill, groups of elves wearing feathered cloaks, clothes different from humans and holding long sticks are walking out of the forest. Their faces are painted with various patterns, which look a bit like They are the barbarians in the mountains, but their pointed ears have exposed their identity-the druid of the tree elves.

A small group of druids have long joined Brando’s magician group in the War of Eluin’s Autumn Evening. After the war, more tree elves came here and walked out of the Black Forest in his territory. Settlement-this was originally part of his agreement with the druids in the trade wind ring, and as the wizards followed the Eluin envoy, these druids also came to Cruz’s land.

They chanted ancient spells against the night breeze, and then turned into birds or ravens one after another, flying in groups from the mountains and forests, flying towards the valley below, in the direction of Greystone Town.

The areas close to the inner sea of the empire often have migratory birds migrating. Even in the interior, the flocks of ravens hovering on the hills are not uncommon, but the druids still safely choose to disperse into the town and lose the sky. After the eyes above, Qiao Gendigang’s army couldn’t notice these scattered birds at all. The druids flew into the city and landed in the dark—in those dead ends, deep alleys, or secluded courtyards, and then transformed into human forms one after another in a gloomy green light. Several druids One group took out the blue stones from their pockets and placed them on the ground according to a certain rule to form large and small arrays.

Then they began to inject magic power into these stones. The green light beam stretched between the stones like a snake. When each stone was connected in series, the space above the circle vibrated, from A shining silver line appeared in the center, which expanded to both sides, like an open eye in the sky, but this eye had no pupils, and there was only a strange space shining with blue and white light.

At this moment, far in the hills, the same dozens of light doors opened, and they appeared in front of the white Lion Guards and Cruz’s noble private soldiers who were ready to go. Everyone was stunned by the spectacle in front of them. The teleportation circle!” Rogers exclaimed, and he looked at Brando with a complex expression: “The craftsmen and wizards really support you behind your back.”

Brando smiled and said, “Mr. Cavalier, if your voice is louder for Sir Cooper to hear, maybe he will start to doubt your identities.”

Rogers’ complexion changed, thinking whether it was more important for him to hide the identity of the knight of the inner court, so he closed his mouth cautiously.

…
