The light in the valley quickly became bright and abundant, like a green field. Brando squinted his eyes while admiring this beautiful picture, while answering Qiyala one by one to Qiyara's questions. Some questions-of course, most of these questions rub off with those secrets that Brando doesn't want to mention, but they are all enough to outline the mysterious and full outline of her heart for a little girl. .
Brando quietly integrated the Peak of All Saints into his world of Journey Wizard when Qiara didn’t pay attention. Cyan ridgeline.
After about half an hour, the scout finally brought back the news from outside—
There are no traces of Qiaogendigang people outside the valley, but there are a small number of cavemen stationed on the plain. These cavemen are not like Qiaogendigang's first-line troops, but like garrisons with low combat effectiveness. When he got the news, Brando was completely relieved, which showed that the main force of Qiao Gendigang really went to Asaph, and the remaining old, weak and sick were just to prevent the defenders of Luen Port from causing trouble, but I want to know that it is impossible. Inside the empire, apart from the private soldiers and knights of the nobles, the guards of these cities have no combat effectiveness at all.
In addition, Rogers and others also brought back another piece of good news:
They contacted the defenders of Ruen Port.
…
Ruen Port-
The Noble Sea is the largest port in the south, the Pearl of Xinhai. The most famous port of this port is the huge white towers along the coast. These towers are the relics left before the war of the saints, and the Miner people passed these up to hundreds of meters. The giant towers collect the magical power that floats in the air. This technology has long been lost after the war of the saints, but today, after a thousand years, there are still a small number of high towers that can operate, but their owners have been replaced The Andzlovians live by the sea. These towers are still declining at a rate of two every ten years. It is estimated that thirty years later, the last tower will be shut down due to aging equipment. After that, these white spires will truly become a testimony of history. One day it may be broken down by wind erosion, or it may stand permanently on the shore of this bay, becoming a unique and eternal landscape here.
Eruin’s envoys saw these legendary white towers when they passed through the coastal plain. They stood alone in the distant horizon, a bit like windmills without blades. All Eruin members of the envoy were I was amazed by the spectacular scenery, and even the nervousness under the danger was alleviated a lot; while the usual Cruz people seemed much more dull, and their eyes were more swayed by the faint plume of smoke in the northern sky. Attraction, that direction is exactly the direction of Luen Port, indicating that, as Brando expected, a few giant dragons have already visited this port first. As for whether they only burned the ship, it is unclear.
Most people turned their eyes to the direction of Brando, the center of the team, although the latter vowed to ensure that there must be ships in the port.
Although the port had been notified, the port’s reception of the envoys was very indifferent. The guards who led them into the city looked insensitive, but looked at the long line of Cruz nobles at the back of the line. It was as lifeless as if they had lost hope; and after entering the port, everyone realized that the situation in the city of Ruen was not optimistic. The Dragon Queen seemed to have wreaked havoc in this port before, and charred building wrecks and wreckage can be seen everywhere. After the explosion, the team passed several temples on the way. The square outside the temple was full of people, full of groaning wounded men. Seeing these sights, everyone became silent subconsciously.
After the team had passed through half of the port, the local consul arrived late to greet him. The city lord of Ruen Port was originally the second son of Count Alcons, but the lord of the city had attacked the dragon beast a few days ago. His life was lost in the battle at the port. At this moment, the entire city was managed by Viscount Volas, the chief of the port. This man was a man of ambition and inaction. At first he received a notification from the guard that the Eruin envoy had arrived outside the port. In fact, he was reluctant to take the time to receive these Eruins, because Rogers did not point out that there were still Cruz nobles in the envoy in the first briefing—especially the Count of Alcons and others, but the second time he confirmed his identity. Lando added this little detail. Sure enough, the subordinate of Count Alcons rushed over after inquiring, cursing these nasty Eruins for making trouble for him along the way. -Why didn't you say that there is Lord Alcons in the team
Little did he know that it was his fellow Cruze who pitted him.
As for the news of his son’s death, Alcons seemed quite calm. He has six sons. It is normal for his subordinates and heirs to die unexpectedly in this era of war. Besides, he is a soldier himself. After hearing Vollas’s plea After the words, he in turn relieved the latter by a few words, which made the latter flattered. The next step is to transfer the power of the city lord. Volas is really not capable. He makes a simple transfer process extremely complicated and full of loopholes. Brando is secretly funny, and he is the best at administrative work under him. Naturally, the person who is not Antitina is none other than Antitina. Comparing the two makes a judgment-even some insults the lady of the staff. It should be said that they do not belong to the same world at all.
And the embarrassed Count Alcons’s complexion is not much better. If it’s not for the fact that the other party has no credit and hard work, and at this moment, there is no second person with relevant experience in the port. It is estimated that this poor person. The Viscount Lord was about to be thrown into jail immediately-his messy accounts were enough. In the end, Lord Earl finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he called the guy to stop, and asked straightforwardly: "Is there any ship in the port that can sail across the ocean?"
As soon as Volas heard this, his face collapsed, and he replied bitterly, "Lord Earl, not to mention the ocean-going ships. We were attacked by a group of dragons and beasts a few days ago. There may be even one in the harbor. The sampan can't get out."
When Earl Alcons asked this sentence, he and Vollas were naturally not the only two present, but when the others heard Viscount Vollas answer this, they immediately turned their heads and looked at Brando among the crowd.
Brando certainly knew what they wanted to ask.
He waved his hand to everyone and said: "Don't worry, I said there are ships, so naturally there are ships, but before that, we have to prepare two things."
When everyone heard him say this, the commotion that had just occurred was immediately calmed down. Viscount Vollas could not help but startled when he saw this scene. He had always preconceived that this group of people should be Count Alcons. But now he realized that the real leader seemed to be this young man. He didn’t know the identity of Brando Eruin. He glanced at the other two more for a while, wondering who this guy is, is it? The illegitimate son of a certain grand duke
But if he knew that Brando was just the head of this envoy, he would be even more surprised.
Brando saw the crowd calm down before continuing to answer: "First of all we need a berth, Mr. Wallas, is there a special berth in the port?"
Volas was startled slightly, and blurted out: "My lord, the special berth is—"
"I naturally know what it is," Brando interrupted him displeasedly. "You only need to answer whether I have it or not. As for what is in the berth, I don't care, you just need to clean it up. Just come out, even if it’s Her Majesty’s ship, the same is true. As for what goes wrong, just be accountable to me."
This hard tone almost stunned Volas. He couldn't help but look at Count Alcons on the side. After finding the affirmative answer in the expression of the latter, he cherished both awe and awe. He replied to Brando with his mentality: "Naturally, sir, you can go up to the special berth and down to the anchor post of the sampan. You can have whatever you want, because there is no ship in the port at this moment. Not to mention the boat, even a wooden plank floating on the water is hard to find, because the large winged lizards have burned to fly ashes. Not only that, they also set a fire in the forest outside the city. "
The viscount replied a little helplessly: "They don't know, in fact, the wood used by the shipyard in Ruen Port is shipped from outside..."
"That's enough." Brando waved his hand to interrupt his endless nonsense: "You go find someone to clear the berth for us, and I will send someone with you. You are responsible for doing things for them and satisfying them. Request, understand?"
"Everything?" Volas looked at Count Alcons tremblingly, until the latter nodded solemnly at him.
"I see, sir." He replied respectfully.
Brando discovered that although this person is not very capable, he is at least obedient. No wonder the son of Alcons would use him as his deputy. This kind of obedient feeling is indeed very good. In comparison, according to the game's term Antitina's Although the political ability attribute may be as high as 99 points, there are too many requirements for the lord, neither is allowed nor that, and he often questioned his decision, which makes people want to cry.
"The second point," Brando said to others: "The Queen of Dragon may not let us act. Sabotage is inevitable. We have to determine a safe route. We also need to confirm the movement of Qiaogengang's army outside the city, Jane. In other words, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of the recent situation and the environment around the port of Rouen. It takes one to two days for us to set off. I don’t want to see cavemen suddenly approaching the city during this time. , Count Alcons, you are the local lord, and this matter is left to you."
Count Alcons glanced at him and nodded slightly.
"Mr. Wallas." After Alcons responded, Brando stopped the ground snake again: "Please do us another favor."
"My lord, despite your orders, you will definitely be responsive." Volas already understood the detached status of this young man at this moment, and quickly bowed his head to answer.
Brando was very satisfied with this guy's reaction, and smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I hope you find a sacrifice from the city. There are wounded in our team."
Volas suddenly realized when he heard it. In his guess, after all, this team broke out from under the noses of Qiao Gendigang's army. What a tragic war was that—in fact, at first he heard about the envoy of Eruin. When the regiment arrived at the port, he was shocked. When he thought that the people of Qiaogendigan could defeat the empire steadily, the Eruins in the Vargos area would never be spared, but he did not expect that the latter would not only be spared. Difficult, but also rescued the Count of Alcons and his party-this Count is indeed well-deserved.
But no matter how well-deserved reputation is, as long as there is battle, it is normal to have wounded, but this Viscount-sama never dreamed that Brando’s so-called member at the moment—in fact, there is only one person, that is, the imperial prime minister. The latter has been in good and bad conditions since that night, and almost lost her life at the worst. But Brando never dreamed that this mad woman would be ignorant at the last moment. The sentimental Miss Ruier was rescued.
Afterwards, Ms. Yinlong told him that she thought this little human woman was Brando’s friend, and she was grateful for Brando’s rescue before she came to help. Brando could only laugh bitterly when she heard it. Under the wrong situation, this lady can only be blamed for her life.
To be honest, as far as he is concerned, he thinks that for Delphine at this moment, it may be better to die than to live.
Because even the dragon clan is not omnipotent after all, at most Ms. Yinlong is just letting her barely sustain her life, and this process itself is an extremely painful process. These days, for this young lady, I am afraid it is more than hell. It's better than it is—if she can feel it. And since Delphine is not dead, Brando is naturally unable to propose a sword to stabb her to death in order to end the pain of this lady. No one will be unhappy about this kind of thing, and since it has arrived at the port, then The first thing is to find a qualified therapist for the prime minister's daughter.
That's fine, Brando thought, anyway, at least the prime minister can at least make the prime minister owe him a favor, and even if this lady barely survives, she will probably have to spend the rest of her life in bed, and she won't be able to linger. Trouble with him.
Volas ordered all Brando's requirements one by one, and then suddenly remembered one thing. He quickly found Brando who was discussing routes with Count Alcons, Chiara and others, and asked: " Several adults, you want to know about the cavemen outside the city. I think you can go up to the city wall to have a look at this moment."
"Huh?" Although he had only met for a short time, Brando could also see that this person would not be aimless, so he stopped and asked: "What's the matter, is there anything weird?"
"My lord, these cavemen outside the city seem to be a little different..."
"slightly different?"
Volas nodded cautiously.
…
When he climbed to the top of Ruen Port, which is not too high, Brando quickly realized that the cavemen stationed on the plain were different. These cavemen were like Rogers and others in return-loose discipline and poorly equipped At first glance, it looks like a garrison with low combat effectiveness, but in addition to caveman warriors with weapons and armors, there are many civilians without weapons in caveman camps, or caveman drudgery.
These cavemen occupy a large proportion of the camp. They are building the camp while managing some strange creatures. At first, everyone thought that the creatures were siege beasts prepared by the Qiaogendigan to attack the port of Luen. , But later it was discovered that it was a hoofed beast. The status of this creature in Qiaogendigang is similar to that of cattle and sheep in the surface world. It is a caveman’s livestock.
"Are these cavemen's logistic units?" Sir Cooper couldn't help muttering to himself when he saw this scene: "No way, how come logistic units come to Ruen, and it's not like it!"
Cooper's words reminded Brando that he soon realized that the Qiaogendigang's behavior was not like plundering the surface, but more like migrating or colonizing.
But this is not in line with the normal behavior pattern of underground creatures. The surface world is not a comfortable living environment for them. Most of the underground creatures will be blinded under strong light, which shows that the bright sunshine is too dazzling for them.
So what are they doing
Brando was puzzled, but fortunately, there seemed to be one person in the envoy who could answer his questions.
He immediately asked the little prince to call Lesmeca.
Not long after, the Medusa came up from the city. Her appearance caused a commotion in the crowd. The crowd rustled to make way for the lady from the underground of Qiaogengang. Lesmeca separated the crowd and came to Brando—this was the first time Brando had the opportunity to meet with her in person, although the latter had entrusted the little prince to express to him that he wanted to meet him.
But Brando is very clear about the characteristics of the residents of Qiao Gendigang, if he can, in fact he does not want to believe this woman.
He turned his head to look at the woman who had created a wave of wonder in the crowd. The latter had gorgeous snake hair—like a serpent vomiting a letter—and her face was beautiful, as polished and slender as a sculpture of an ancient Greek goddess. Under the eyebrows, there are a pair of vertical pupils in the amber eyes. If you don't look at her long hair, eyes and the fine snake scales on her forehead, the other party can still be called a beauty.
After listening to Brando’s statement and seeing the cavemen and their domestic animals on the city’s head in person, Ms. Medusa seemed to have expected it, and replied very calmly and surely:
"My lord, you guessed it right, they are migrating."
"And in fact, this is the great migration that Qiao Gendigang has not seen in a thousand years."
Her voice turned a little, like a siren's singing voice.
