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 army of the imperial aristocracy 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 a scene usually represents the fiasco of the empire. The Cruz nobles will not easily leave the remains of their companions in order to be honourable. Even the corpse capital of the nobles is ignored. It is almost conceivable that the Earl of 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 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 dive 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. Cavaliers, 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 trees below, then inserted his thumb and forefinger into his mouth, and blew a whistle vigorously-the whistle echoed in the twilight. In the forest below, it sounded like Ye Xiao’s scream, but it was obviously sharper. The sound of the owl crowing unexpectedly attracted the attention of the harpies above their heads. 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 did not 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 it 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 is 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 bush below moved again, and a rustling voice came.
"Huh." Charles looked a little surprised when he looked over there, "There is a magician among them."
There seemed to be a wind in the mountain forest. The mountain wind blew across the forest canopy and rustled the branches, but everyone heard the rustling noise as if there was a human whisper: "Yes... face... who is it?"
This is wind information, one of the few communication spells that can be used in areas that are suppressed by magic. Because they rely on the power of nature rather than breaking the laws of space, spells such as dimensional anchors cannot work on it. The top elves and druids can even transmit wind information to areas thousands of miles away, but wind information has a characteristic of slowness. It sometimes takes a week or even months for the trade wind to flow from one area to another. What's more, for most elemental apprentices, wind information is generally only a short-range communication spell that does not exceed the visual distance. Magicians in the army often use it as a supplement to sign language and lip language.
Brando turned around and said to Charles: "Tell them that we are Count Jean's people."
Charles looked at his lord in surprise, wondering if Earl Ji En, who was a prisoner of the order, would live to death after hearing this, of course, he still did what he said. Although he is not an elemental envoy, there are commonalities among several common magics. What's more, one of the characteristics of the law of magic is to imitate the law. The wind-information, which is almost a magic trick, is imitated for the existence of his level. There is no difficulty, and the message is passed easily, even the words in the wind are obviously smoother than the other party.
Charles's methods obviously surprised the other party. After a short silence, Brando saw six or seven people standing up one by one under the hornbeam bush under the hillside, and they looked towards this side with their heads. Look, Rogers waved at them deliberately so that these people could confirm their location. After seeing Rogers, the latter immediately rushed to the top of the mountain and ran over. The vegetation on the hills was very dense, and their short runs were obvious. For a while, they did not attract attention from the sky. After a while, they came to a circle of bushes on the top of the mountain. The person running in the front first saw the Eruin envoy behind Rogers.
"you!"
The man obviously recognized Brando, his face changed, and he was about to retreat subconsciously, but how could Brando give him this opportunity? He raised his hand directly for fear of extraneous branches, and the lines of law distributed in the vast space at the same time It lit up, covering the seven people like a net, and then he pulled his hand, and the seven people appeared around them at the same time, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Seven people landed on the ground one by one. Rogers saw one of them and whispered in surprise: "Sir Cooper, you are still alive!"
The guy he called Sir Cooper looks only in his early forties or fifties, but he has a short stature and is born with a little bit of eyebrows. His appearance is obviously not suitable for his aristocratic status, but everyone who knows him understands that he is a shrewd man. The guy, he realized it was not good when he heard his captain of the guard whispering, and turned around to escape subconsciously, 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 soared into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground; he fell into a turmoil, his soul was flying away, and suddenly he heard someone calling his name-it is naturally impossible for the monsters in Qiaogen's roots to recognize him. He came from the identity, and the other party's Cruz language was also the standard Anzeruta's local accent. He turned his mind quickly, and he immediately calmed down 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 Berjat, haven't you been 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 decapitate a nobleman and put 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 and saluted the latter, behaving much more calmly than the twisted Earl Jean: " Lord Earl, your safety is all dependent on you. I have absolute trust in your reputation."
Brando smiled. He didn't know what credibility he had in these people's hearts. The only relationship he had with these local Anzeruta 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 stunned 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 damn monsters. We rushed 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 cow. We all thought he could live to the fate of the earth. 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, and we were quickly defeated. I was at the far south, and only saw Master 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 the Lord Earl and I were separated 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 could Count Alcons go in that direction?" Rogers asked incomprehensibly, "Buos is a dead end."
Regarding Buosbrando, he asked Princess Magdal beforehand, knowing that there was a crystal mine there before the year of thunder, but that place was prosperous because of the mine, and it was also declining because of the mine. A town famous for its mines is also declining and gradually becomes a forgotten corner. However, 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, so he could only count on Qiao's roots. The first target of the underground creature is Asaph, and will not go to the mountain to trouble him.
But unfortunately, things are counterproductive—
"I think Lord Earl underestimated the size of the 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. However, few people know their identity. The way the knights of the inner court communicate up and down 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 a long time before he spoke: "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 Earl of Alcons and the others are still in the town at the moment, or have already left the town from the other side of the river valley and moved to another place?"
Cooper opened his mouth: "Honestly, I didn't think about it." He looked at Brando suspiciously. He didn't expect this young Earl 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 Joe Gentican 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 Tanservant. Neither of the two clans are allied with the Harpy. In other words, 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 the Ashes 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 just returned to Greystone Town after they attacked the North Mountain outpost!? What about Bouos, are they just directed at the Earl of Alcons? To go?"
"This..." Cooper looked blankly: "I don't know what is going on!"
