The stars were shining in the night sky. Brando stared at the roof of the Noble Council Hall and the Chamber of Commerce Building for several minutes. After the harpy prancing down for the third time, he finally gave the order: "Hands." Bar."
A gloomy light flashed between Fro's five fingers, and the four harpy witches who were a hundred meters away from her were pierced by a dark blue sharp arrow. The arrow passed through the heart, and immediately turned them into ice sculptures. . The battle wizard can extract spells from the ring of spells, and the casting speed is extremely fast, but the wizard has to slow the top half of the beat, and Tiya’s reaction is even slower. She tries to read each spell byte and moves her hands forward. Pushing, everyone saw an invisible ripple across the entire square, sweeping across the body of the harpy who was fleeing, and in an instant, they fell apart and turned into a bloody rain falling from the sky.
Tiya didn't expect her spell to have such a big effect, and couldn't help but apologize and stuck her tongue out at Brando.
"Argas Storm Blade," Brando muttered to himself: "Is it necessary to use the seven-ring spell to hit the three harpy banshees..."
At this time the cavemen on the square were already alarmed. Although they could not see, they could hear the sound. The caveman at the entrance of the temple panicked and grabbed the weapon at hand. At this moment, a wave of crossbows flew out of the darkness. These poor worms fell down like they had hit an invisible wall. The remaining three or two cavemen before they could react, they were pierced with a sword by the white lion guards flying by, facing upwards. Fell on the ladder.
The next unlucky one was the patrol. Yuta personally intercepted them. The long flaming hair of the Maid Corps was like a striking flag in the night, and it flew up and down with the movements of the mistress—and the crimson. The tongues of the fire crows complement each other-Brando was slightly startled when he saw the sword, only to remember that he had given the sword to the lady of the mercenary captain, and the tongues of the fire crows seemed to be endowed in Uta's hands. After life, she raised her hand and turned the long sword into a flame whip. The golden red whip swept a distance of 34 meters, and rolled up four or five escaping cavemen and turned them into a ball of fire. Hui, the remaining cavemen were also unable to resist, one by one was chopped down to the ground by the White Lion Guard, and they were quickly slaughtered.
Cooper on the side looked at the sword in Uta's hand, and then at the proud figure of the head of the mercenary. He couldn't help but looked back and looked at Brando enviously, thinking that the young man was really blessed. .
At this moment, there are only two razor boars left on the square. This beast from the underground world is extremely large, almost like a cow. They have four pairs of side by side fangs, each of which is more than half a meter long, like It is a sharp scimitar, and the name of the razor comes from it; after being domesticated by the Shader cave dwellers, they were caged with metal masks and blindfolds, which further reduced their weaknesses, so they became beasts worthy of their names. .
This kind of creature has a ferocious temper and is a famous killer in the underground world, but their brains seem to be burned out by the constant anger, and their IQs have become extremely low. The wild razor boars attack all enemies that enter their territory—sometimes even including them. Even after being tamed, their target selection is only missing the tamer. When all the cavemen on the square were killed, the two razor boars came to a surprise, and they Naturally, his first choice would not be to shout loudly to call out his companions, but to immediately rush towards the humans who appeared in their field of vision.
Walton and Brando stopped in front of the two razor boars.
Walton has been famous for Ludwig for a long time. In addition to swordsmanship, his strength has also reached the peak of the golden rank, but he still dare not be too careless in the face of this kind of crazy stuff. When he rushed towards him, he yielded aside, a Cruz swept his sword and cut off the big guy's four hooves; the razor boar broke all four hooves, and suddenly hit the ground with one head, it opened its mouth and wanted to make a tragic howl. , But before the sharp airflow had time to rush out of the throat, Walton pierced his throat with a sword that followed and was sealed in his stomach. The tragic sound of killing pigs finally turned into an unconscious airflow. With the sound of hitting the broken trachea, filthy blood also poured out.
Walton looked at the razor boar lying on his back and was already dead. He couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. Obviously he was extremely satisfied with his handling. The ability to solve the battle so cleanly showed that his understanding of swordsmanship had improved. step.
However, he was a little strange that the young Lord Earl hadn’t made any noise. It was logical to say that no matter whether it was a win or a win, there must be some movement. Even if he handled it so cleanly, the razor boar hit the ground and made a lot of noise. sound. Walton certainly didn't think Brando might be more powerful than himself. He followed Cooper. He didn't hear much about the rumors about the strength of the Lord Earl, but he heard about his impulsive, irritable and arrogant notoriety. , When Brando captured the Black Sword Fortress, the empire only said that Lord Earl had a genuine archmage next to him. If Brando was a swordsman in his early twenties, Walton would never know how. believable.
But when he turned his head, he saw a scene that made him stunned. Brando stood there and didn’t move. Not far away, the razor boar was lying on the ground and shaking like chaff, making his feces and urine flow. , Didn't dare to take a half step forward at all.
All the young people of the White Lion Guard and even the head of the female mercenary were looking at their lord with a respectful look at this moment.
Walton is not an ignorant person, and naturally understands what happened.
The Might of the Juggernaut—
There are only a few creatures in nature that are powerful to a certain degree that will naturally produce coercion, such as dragons, or those mythical creatures outside the borders of elements that cannot be described in words. But for the people of Dark Iron, there are those who are strong in a field to a certain extent, and even master the laws and principles, in order to produce coercion-the power of the law, the power of the swordsman-is necessary to achieve this step. The only condition to be met is the side of truth.
Brando really felt the existence of the law between heaven and earth at that moment, and he didn't even know what was going on. At the same moment when he drew his sword and pointed at the razor boar, a piece of mysterious knowledge came from The sword of the earth responded. At that moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of mountains, rivers, earth, and immortality, but this was just a story that happened in a flash. It seemed that at that moment, he really stepped into the side of truth. But after a short while, he returned to the peak state of elemental civilization.
However, from the side of truth for such a moment, the coercion that naturally radiated from him was enough to scare the razor boar lacking intellect.
Brando had a faint hunch in his heart. He retracted his sword, glanced at the razor boar lying on the ground, and said to others: "Don't worry about this thing, it won't be able to react for a while, and rush into the temple."
When he said this, he raised his head and silently glanced at the dark night sky.
I don’t know when, dark clouds obscured the starlight—
…
I don’t know if it was blessed by Kalidas, the god of pottery, or for other reasons. The battle to enter the temple went smoothly. The caveman warriors stationed in the temple did not anticipate the changes outside at all. They became the White Lion Guards. When they attacked the temple, they were caught off guard and lost the initiative for the first time, and the rest of the battle was almost a one-sided massacre. Although Tanbu's bear goblin guards fought back without fear of death, these came from the roots of Qiao. The Tier 4 creatures in the underground area are obviously better at fighting in caves than on the surface. Under the attacking front of Uta, Nimesis, and Walton, the White Lion Guard only paid the price of one light injury, almost Annihilate the guards of these Tan servants.
The battle ended faster than expected.
Tanbu is the lord of Shadr's cavemen—but that's all. The caveman was originally the lowest level of existence in Qiaogendigang, only slightly higher than the dwarf—Tanbu is the most famous thing in the underground world. It is to have a Minotaur as a slave. With this Tier 6 creature, it occupied a small territory on the edge of Silent Land, established prestige among its compatriots, pulled up an army, and became the lord, but he The power of is slightly stronger than that of the expelled Tajib.
And this time, the minotaur that it had been relying on had only taken a few moves in Walton's hands and was cut off by a sword. The stench of blood sprayed all of it hiding behind at that time, almost Frightened it to faint.
When Uta pulled this guy out of the temple, the lord did not have the prestige of the past at all, but shivered like a rooster falling into the water.
"My lord, this guy doesn't know much, but he has said everything he can say," Uta asked, "Sir, you can ask him yourself again."
Brando glanced at this guy, but shook his head, and replied a little anxiously: "Don't waste time, what did it say, you just tell me."
Uta was taken aback, and looked at Brando strangely.
Nimesis, who followed out from the side, did not have as many concerns as the head of the mercenary. She also noticed the abnormality in Brando's tone and directly asked, "What's the matter?"
Brando shook his head slightly. He faintly felt that the previous sword was a bit unusual. The induction from the earth was not his own perception of the law, but a certain connection. He just happened to feel it. It's just this connection. He remembered the legend about Qiao Gendigang. Before the era of the Great Sundering, these underground people indeed believed in the same deity as Toquinine’s lion people. This legend made him feel a little uneasy, as if it were different from those of the past few days. Suspicions were vaguely linked together, but he couldn't find the key node for a while.
There is another point that confuses him, that is, the previous induction is clearly descending from the sky, but the sky is not the traditional territory of Qiao Gen Digang, which makes Brando not clear for a while. What exactly is it.
Uta looked at the female knight, and then at his lord, but didn't dare to let the latter wait too long, and whispered: "How large is Qiao Genjigang’s invasion? I’m afraid even this guy doesn’t know. But Lord Lord, according to some of its descriptions, I am afraid it will not be too small."
This was originally expected by Brando. Uta's words only confirmed his guess. Brando put aside all the messy clues in his happiness, and made his mind seem sober and asked: "Stay in Greystone Town. There are a few of the Qiaogendigang army, and it should know who the main force of Qiaogendigang's army is in this direction."
"There are only two Qiao Gendigang troops stationed in Greystone Town, and the other lord is Gu Kou, Brother Brando." Tiya answered first.
Uta nodded as if testifying on the side, saying that Tanpu's words were actually translated by Tiya.
"Gu Kou?" Brando felt as if he had heard the name there, but after thinking about it, he found that this name did not seem to be any well-known lord of Qiao Gen Digang, and even the reputation of Tan Pu could not match. . Tanbu was one of the only two lords of Shadr's cave dwellers, plus its minotaur slaves, at any rate it could be regarded as a little famous. What made him feel weird was that in theory, the lord he had heard of by name would never be unknown.
Brando couldn't help but began to wonder if his memory was wrong. He turned around to ask Nimesis for help, only to find that the female knight was also frowning as if thinking about the same problem with him.
"What about the other question?" he asked again.
"The lord who is marching towards Asaph now seems to be a guy named Moksha, but this guy can't explain clearly, it's really useless!" Tiya took a look at Tanbu and replied.
"Moksha!" Brando was startled slightly: "It turned out to be it, the king of the lizardmen, and it can be regarded as the lord second only to the kings of Geralt and Medusa in the ground. If the commander of Sa’s containment force is it, then Qiao Gendigan’s invasion of the surface world may not be too small, at least there will definitely be a true underground king in the south."
The wild elf sister smiled slightly and replied: "Brother Brando, you guessed it, at this moment, the Qiaogendigan Legion that is attacking Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress is from the army of Venom Swamp."
"The King of Medusa." Brando reacted immediately, but he didn't feel much nervous. Anyway, the empire who had a lot of fun now has nothing to do with him. Even if the King of Medusa has great magical powers, it is impossible. Turn around from the Rokozy Plateau and head north to find his trouble.
He asked a few more questions, and Tiya answered them one by one. However, as Yuta said, the existence of the Tanpu level knows very little, and it does not even know the real reason why Qiaogendigang invaded the surface world. As for why it appeared here, it was also forced to fight by a more powerful lord-this is common in the underground world, and Brando is not surprised.
In the end, Brando asked about the whereabouts of the Earl of Alcons and his party. These unlucky imperial nobles were locked up in the crypt of the temple. At this moment, Sir Cooper has taken people to rescue them, but It is conceivable that the caveman doesn't have any superfluous things like aristocratic temperament. What will happen to the Earl of Alcons and others in his hands. It is almost conceivable that even if they are not dead, they will have to peel off.
When talking about this, Brando could not help but think maliciously, if the Lord Earl had known this, maybe he would take the initiative to surrender to him, and would rather be a prisoner of the Eruin.
At the same time, Tia's description of the encounters of these Cruz nobles also confirmed another premonition in Brando's heart.
The Shader cavemen didn't take these Cruz people's captives so seriously, indicating that they weren't directed at Count Alcons at that time, that is to say, Lord Earl was simply caught by these cavemen.
It's just that Brando has no spare time to sigh for the hapless Earl at this moment. He immediately looked at Nimesis and asked, "Did you find that thing?"
Nimesis nodded.
Then bring out one thing.
The thing was placed in her hand, not even as big as a palm, a bit like an enlarged platinum coin-this kind of gold coin is widely used in the Faenzan area, because of the special casting process, the surface is better than ordinary The gold coin is even brighter and brighter—but the metal disc in the female knight’s hand is even more polished than a regular platinum coin. It looks like a gleaming gemstone with metallic qualities, except that there is no obvious crystalline structure. If you look closely, you will even find that there is a faint glow of flame in this metal disc.
Anyone can judge that this metal disc is extraordinary with just one glance, because all metals and forging techniques in the world cannot produce the same thing, and even the similarity seems to be impossible.
When Uta saw the metal disc, she was attracted by her gaze. She looked at things as if possessed by a demon. It took a long time before she reacted, and subconsciously blurted out and asked: "What is this, really Pretty!"
Brando couldn't help smiling when he heard these words, such a thing, in the eyes of Uta, was just beautiful, and to anyone who had known it before, it was the treasure of this world.
…
Warnd has two things that mortals cannot reach.
The first is destiny, and the second is law.
But Martha finally gave mortals the power to change everything.
The master of destiny lies in the key of amber, and all the murmurs between heaven and earth are recorded on the slate.
