"What the hell is going on, Lord Tonigel." As Rogers was saluting, Duke Vieiro's daughter hurriedly walked over and saw Rogers and the others, and stopped immediately, apparently recognizing that they were from Cruz. . There was a look of doubt in her eyes again, and she could see that although these people were injured, they did not look like the captives of the Lord Earl. Brando didn't let the envoys participate in the battle, so they kept waiting for news. They didn't expect Fro to be the last one who was waiting. Miss Wild Elf didn't tell them whether they won or lost, but only told them Lord Lord to let them. past.
However, along the way, Ouni had already noticed that there were no signs of fighting nearby—she hadn’t seen the Cruz’s army, and the nearby White Lion Guards did not look like they had gone through a battle.
Brando saw the others behind the Duke's daughter—the merchant lady who blinked at him and said that she was OK, Ephraim with a reluctant face, and Ai, who was standing with Count Yanilasu’s subordinates. Ke, Goran-Elson’s little Lolita, and Qiara who looked at the hands of several Cruz people on the hilt, and Miss Enid by her side, and finally Dilfi Rui, Magdal and Haruze.
The Lord Baron, who had just arrived at the envoy, followed everyone behind, keeping a close distance, and looking at Brando with a vigilant look.
Brando didn't care about him, although he knew what this person was coming from, and saw that the envoys were all there, and the convoy stopped on the road not far below the hills, he nodded to Flor, and Brando only looked at Rogers aside and said: "Sir, you have also heard this lady's question. You must have guessed it. We are the envoy of the Eruin people; and as an empire Customers, we also want to know what happened, I think maybe you can tell us one or two?"
Roger's gaze swept over these people one by one, with a slightly surprised expression on his face: "This... Your lord, we were also suddenly attacked by those monsters. I haven't figured out what happened yet."
Brando smiled: "Are you locals?"
"Exactly," Rogers replied immediately: "I'm Rogers of the Warren family, this is the son of Sir Fergus," he replied pointing to the tall curly-haired companion beside him, and then introduced the female knight: "This is Sir Turner's daughter. He is Mr. Locke's student." Finally, he introduced the young man in the robe.
Brando knew that these were all imaginary identities, but he was not busy exposing them. Instead, he asked a few more questions about the local area. Rogers didn't doubt that he would answer them one by one. The Duke's daughter looked suspiciously at the question and answer of these two people. She still didn't understand why Brando would be interested in these people. She originally thought that the other party was from Earl Jien's side, but she didn't think it was just a descendant of the local gentry. That's it.
Brando smiled slightly after listening to Rogers's answer: "You answered well, so it's right."
Rogers wanted to say it again, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard it. He didn't understand what the other party meant, and the sentence got stuck in his throat for a while.
Brando replied: "Since you are so familiar with this place, Mr. Rogers, you must be the knights of the inner court stationed here, or should you call you Mr. Detectives or Madams?"
Rogers' eyelids twitched and he subconsciously placed his hands on the hilt. A man and a woman behind him made the same movements. Only the boy in a long robe with jet-black hair and dark eyes remained indifferent. Rogers just put his hand on the hilt, but suddenly realized something, and slowly let go. He raised his head and smiled bitterly at Brando: "Your eyes are good, Lord Earl, you have recognized us long ago. ?"
"You're welcome," Brando replied-these spies are undoubtedly the best gift that Martha has given him at this moment. These people are the most important eyes and ears of the Cruz royal family in the place, sometimes even more than the local lords. Know every move of everyone in an area, not to mention that most of the people who can be selected as knights of the inner court have better brains. At this time, if you want to find someone to figure out what happened in the hill of floating clouds overnight, you can say that there is no one. It’s more suitable than them—this time his sentry cavalry obviously couldn’t accomplish the task more beautifully. He continued: "Mr. Rogers, since you are the inner court knights stationed in the local area, then I won’t be circumspect. You are more familiar than me, and I think you should have guessed something more or less about your experience."
Rogers exchanged glances with his companions. Then he looked at Brando and asked tentatively: "I only admit a part, but we are not sure yet."
The Duke’s daughter heard that these people turned out to be the knights of the Cruz royal family and couldn’t help being a little curious. She couldn’t help but look at Rogers and them more, but the dumb riddle between Brando and this person still made her unbearable, and said: "Or I You can ask, what are you talking about and what happened."
"Miss O'Neill, if the Lord's guess is correct, the creatures under Qiaogendigang may have invaded the empire." At this time, Medissa replied softly after receiving Brando's gaze. The encounter and some clues they found were repeated. This information is not classified, as long as you walk in Vargos yourself, you can understand it.
"Qiao Gendigang!" Euni was taken aback. The Duke daughter was taken aback for a moment before realizing what she was talking about. It can be seen that this term had never appeared in her mind-even in the most wild imagination. There hasn’t existed in it before. The people underground and the people on the ground are isolated from each other. For thousands of years, the well water has not violated the river water. How could it suddenly invade the surface? Her first reaction was that the Lord Earl was intimidating them again, but her gaze fell on Rogers and the others who had not spoken to refute, only to realize that all of this might be true, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "They Come join in the fun!"
She reacted as soon as she finished speaking, and couldn't help but hide her mouth: "Lion! My God, they won't recombine with the Earth Temple, right? A thousand years later?"
Rogers's face was a little dark: "Master Earl, how sure about what you said!"
"There are several levels of grasp, you know in your heart, why come and ask me." Brando replied.
At this time, Yinide asked the little girl next to him cautiously: "Qiyara, what are they talking about, is there any trouble in the empire?"
"Big trouble," the little girl still wearing her huge scholar hat today smiled a little gleefully: "If that guy hadn't lied, Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain fortress group might not have been in the hands of the empire. Several days."
Rogers was obviously aware of this, Kui told him that when the messaging magic was disturbed, he had such a premonition of anxiety in his heart. He knew exactly what it was, the blocking magic on the battlefield. If it was a simple monster attack, cavemen would never use such spells. They could only face an organized army, and what was behind these underground creatures would be self-evident.
His face changed for a moment, and finally he made a decision. He first glanced at his companions, and then said to Brando: "If Qiao Gendigang did attack the empire, then this area should have fallen into theirs at this moment. Master, this is also a trouble for Lord Earl."
"Naturally, I don't think the caveman can tell the difference between the Cruz and Eruin." Brando replied.
"What do you plan to do, Lord Earl?"
"I have a simple way, which is to find a place to break out after finding out the movements of these underground creatures," Brando replied: "Their first goal is the defense of Azeruta, and the second goal is also the Empire's. Army, my small envoy, it should be easy to break through. But I have 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 imagined. That’s bad in China."
Rogers and the three behind him looked at Brando in surprise, and said with a trembling: "What are you talking about, Lord Earl?"
"Why, what I said is difficult to understand?"
"No, but..."
Brando looked at these dumbfounded knights of the Inner Court, and for a while, he couldn't help but produce a kind of mischievous pleasure in his heart. When the imperial empires were also confused, it showed that they were all being played around. The little girl next to Yinid smiled at this scene with unkind intentions, humming from her nose from time to time, not knowing who was mocking whose stupidity and superficiality; the daughter of the Duke suddenly realized something after Qiyala , Couldn't help but took a deep look at the head of the envoy.
Brando said at this time: "I understand, do you think from my standpoint, I should stand on the opposing side of the empire, or at least remain neutral?"
Rogers did not answer, but the look on his face is undoubtedly like this. The tall man behind him shrugged and looked helpless to be seen through. The female knight behind them looked a little nervous, and kept her hand on the hilt of the sword and never left. , Only the last young man didn't say a word from beginning to end, and his face was calm.
Brando took a look at the young man, and then replied: "You made something wrong. I am still standing on the opposite side of some of you, but in this holy war, the Eruins are still It's an ally of the Cruz people, and this will not change."
Rogers glanced at the Lord Earl in surprise, thinking that the rumors said that the other party had a weird personality, but he didn't want to hear that it was true. In the other party's mouth, the empire is the empire and the nobility is the nobility, which seems to be two separate concepts, and he faintly feels that Brando meant something to say this, but before he had time to think about it, he replied with some gratitude: "Earl, you are black and white. This kind of integrity makes me very admired. Now I believe you are in the Black Sword Barrier. As the rumors say, there is no flaw in what I have done, and I apologize to you on behalf of the Empire."
Qiyara heard these words and hurriedly pulled Yinid around. Her behavior shocked the latter and couldn't help but whispered: "What's the matter, Qiyara, are you uncomfortable? "
The little girl from the Sifah family had a terrible stomachache at the moment. She suppressed a smile and replied: "It's nothing. Yi Nide, I'm afraid I will laugh out loud. You can stop me, I can't stand it anymore, chuckle chuckle... "
The daughter of Count Grey Mountain looked at her companion inexplicably.
But Rogers is indeed a little grateful at the moment. It is rare in this world who can separate his love and hatred from the principle of being a man. The feud between Brando and the imperial nobles is well known throughout the world, let alone It is said that they are still preparing for a war before today, but the other party can decisively let go of their hatred and prejudice at a critical moment. This vision alone is enough to make him admire. And this admiration stems from his feeling of gratitude as a soldier of the Empire, watching the Empire in danger but unable to do anything, and grasping a life-saving straw in a desperate situation. Of course, he is very grateful to Brando. His rhetoric is more dubious, but it doesn't show up on the face.
Brando looked at everyone's looks, and then shook his head and replied: "What I need now is not an apology. Even if it is an apology, it is not you, but some arrogant guy. Now we need to apologize. The point is to figure out what happened. What I said before is nothing more than a speculation based on existing intelligence, but we need a more detailed plan, Mr. Rogers, I believe you understand why I want to see you, Because if I wanted to know what was posted before nightfall, no one here would know it better than you."
This is what Brando and Nimesis are most concerned about at the moment. Hemlock Town is empty and there is no sign of fighting. There are only a small number of residents on Linye Avenue and Vargos who have been attacked. All signs indicate that Alcon The army of Count Spear and the other nobles did not retreat because of the attack by Joe Gentigan—or at least they might have escaped by the wind before then, but Brando was puzzled by why Jean The earl will be left alone in this place—in fact, the Lord earl is still there to curse his low-hearted colleagues. Coincidentally, the sentry cavalry rescued Rogers and the others at the farm. According to the cavalry captain's judgment, these Cruz inner court knights were not the masters there, which means that they might have encountered cavemen halfway through. , And then had to retreat to a nearby farm to be guarded.
As for why they left their secret residence at that time, it may be due to coincidence, but Brando prefers another kind of speculation.
Rogers was also slightly surprised at this moment. Obviously, the Lord Earl knew very well about the jurisdiction of their inner court knights, but he was a little puzzled as to why the other party knew them so clearly. Even the inner court knights were only half of the empire. Open existence, some secrets are only in the hands of the royal family from beginning to end. Regarding this, even the young man in the robe raised his head for the first time, glanced at Brando, and then lowered his head.
This thought only flashed in Rogers' mind, and then disappeared, but then more surprised thoughts rose in his mind, making him look up at Brando very puzzled: "Lord Earl, you didn’t See?"
"See what?" Brando asked inexplicably, and he frowned immediately after saying this, instinctively aware that he and Earl Jean might have missed something.
Of course, this could also be the other party's trick, but he saw Rogers look back in shock and exchanged glances with his colleagues, he knew that the other party was not lying. It seemed that Rogers took a while to digest the news. He rolled his Adam's apple and replied dryly: "My Lord, please forgive me for the offense. Can I confirm it again? You and your envoy are here. Didn't anyone see that beam of light last night?"
His tone was so cautious that he unconsciously used honorifics when addressing Brando.
"The beam of light?" Brando was really stunned. He and Nimesis hadn't slept all night, but didn't see any beam of light at all: "What are you talking about? Is there any magic resonance happening somewhere? , Is it the trick of those crypt creatures in Qiao Gendigang?"
"It's not magic resonance," the female knight who has not spoken blurted out: "It's artifact resonance, how could you have not seen it? Near Vargos and Linye Avenue, half of the sky is illuminated, almost everything Everyone saw the meteor falling to the ground, and the northern sky seemed to be burning."
The two finished speaking at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other.
"What are you talking about, there is no such thing." The Duke's daughter frowned and retorted.
"Flows, meteors falling on the ground? Is there such a fun thing!" Roman's eyes were bright, and he quickly looked at Medissa, while the latter frowned, as if thinking about something.
"You said that the meteor fell to the ground, and the northern sky seemed to be burning?" Brando subconsciously asked as if he heard the tale of the Arabian Nights.
The female knight didn't understand what she had said wrong, she looked at her companions, but both Rogers and Trevor's faces were very gloomy. "What the hell is going on," Rogers asked in a deep voice, "Dear Lord Earl, haven't you seen this scene?"
Brando didn't answer, he only exchanged glances with Nimesis, who silently nodded at him and spoke a word to him.
Brando turned his head and seemed to understand something in his heart. He said to the guard of the White Lion Guard: "Go and ask Earl Jean if he has seen everything Mr. Rogers said."
