"There is an ancient dwarven kingdom under the mountains of Anzeruta, they are a branch of the Broken Sword Mountains, this kingdom accidentally dug through the large beehive when digging a tunnel downward, and then the ground was full of monsters, and the kingdom then perished, and the remaining dwarves also migrated westward, and the map of the underground kingdom was lost. There were dangers lurking in that dark labyrinth now, and it would take unimaginable risks to get through it, and even if these difficulties were ignored, it would not be possible for the dwarves to dig a passage from under the hard rock to connect the lost tunnels in a month or two. Nimesis replied.

After being reminded by Nimesis, Brando also remembered that he was not familiar with Eruin after all Cruz, so he asked this question.

After hearing about the strange events that happened to Count Guien, he first suspected that these nobles were playing some kind of conspiracy, but then he thought of what tricks Toquinen's lionmen had played, bypassing Rokozy - the fortresses of the Broken Sword Mountains attacked the empire as if in history, this was a premonition that had been lurking in his heart for a long time, but now after discussion, he found that there was no possibility, and his thoughts that had finally become clear returned to chaos, and he had to stop and wait for further information.

Twenty minutes later, the first gargoyles to go to Vargoyle returned, and Medisa approached him with the Crystals removed from the gargoyles, and replied, "Your Excellency, ......"

"What's wrong?"

Medisa shook her head slightly, unlike Charles's frivolity, the little princess of the silver elf never said big words or packed tickets, and only handed the development crystal to Brando: "Your Excellency, you can see it yourself." ”

Brando took the Shadow Crystal, which was not uncommon in Vainde, but it was not ordinary, it could record several three- to five-minute sound images, which were preserved for years to decades, and the Buga dared to place them on each gargoyle, which was enough to prove the wealth of the mages - he poured magic into it, and the crystal emitted a glowing light that immediately showed the gargoyle flying through the sky, in which the forest was like a thick carpet, and there were some plots of different shades around the edges, which were farmland, The fields are dotted with red roofs, barns, windmills, and other buildings.

No one spoke, and Nimesis and Brando recognized this as the outskirts of Vargus, an empire-like idyllic scene, but they saw a strange scene, gargoyles flying over the town, red roofs began to thicken, and several roads passed through the bustling market like veins, but it was a large town, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, and there were no scattered birds in the dense shade, like a ghost town. Then they found something strange in the square of Vargas, which looked like scattered sand and gravel, and Brando made it clear that they were all human beings or similar creatures, but they stood motionless in the square like stone statues.

"What's going on?" Charles was stunned and said, "Could it be that there was a sudden monster attack near Varges, and the entire area was attacked by the Dead-Eyed Wyvern or the Petrified Lizard?" ”

Brando shook his head, the Dead-Eyed Wyvern is not a social creature, most of them act alone outside the ** period, the petrified lizard is a creature with a strong sense of territory, and it will not rush to the human world, these two monsters are unlikely to turn a human town into a ghost, the only possibility is that this is an organized attack, he already has a candidate in mind, he turned his head to look at Nimesis, and saw the same guess in the other party's dark eyes.

"The people of the queen of serpents, the one who is cursed for eternity."

"Medusa." Charles was speechless: "They are not under the ground of Qiaogendigang, how can they come to the surface lightly?" ”

It is true that the inhabitants of the underground do not travel lightly to the surface world, and it is a long and dangerous journey from Jogandegang through the large beehive above the 'dome', and then over the underground cavities of the 'shallow' and the channels where groundwater seeps. Tajib and his people had traveled this way, and countless troglodytes had died along the way, from disappearances, monster attacks, and the most terrible of diseases and starvations, but it had proved that they dared to do so if necessary, a characteristic tenacity of the people of the underworld.

"I remember," Brando muttered, "the inhabitants of Jogandigang also believe in the goddess of the earth, right-"

"It can't be!" Charles replied with a little surprise: "The inhabitants of the underground believe in the goddess above, and the inhabitants of the surface believe in the goddess below, although the beliefs of the two are of the same origin, but that was a thousand years ago, since the Great Division, the dwarves and lionmen on the surface have no longer interacted with the dwarves and other peoples underground. How did they come together, let alone have time to contact in such a short time? ”

Before the era of the Great Schism, the surface and the underground believed in a goddess, but since the Battle of the Sages, due to various problems such as the loss of faith, the current Earth Temple is no longer the same as it used to be, and even the three sacred relics of the original Earth Temple in the Broken Sword Mountain Range have been missing one by one, since then, many sects that originally believed in the Earth Goddess have been in dispute, and the two largest of them, Tokunin and Qiaogendigang, have long since parted ways, a thousand years ago.

Brando, of course, knew this, but at the moment an even more somber thought was swirling in his mind: what were the lions waiting for on that side of the Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Complex in Rokozy?

He looked at Nimesis, the female knight frowning and nodding slightly.

"How sure are you?" He asked meaningfully.

"If the attacker is indeed from Jorgantigan, then there is a good chance that the lionman's strange behavior is related to it." The knightess replied calmly.

Everyone fell silent, calculating in their minds whether this line of defense would be able to hold up if the Golden-Maned Lionmen of Toquinine and the underground inhabitants of Jogendigang launched a flank attack on the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group. "Rokozy - I'm afraid the fortress group of the Broken Sword Mountain Range is in danger." Even Charles himself was taken aback when he said this, although he claimed to be well-informed, knowledge silenced people, and the strength of the empire was in his eyes detailed numbers, analysis and rational thinking, like a mighty Cruz golden eagle woven from feather, delicate and subtle, but the sharp claws and beak let you understand how powerful it is.

Rokozy - The fortresses of the Broken Sword Mountains are the long-standing defense line of the Empire, it is between the lofty mountains, the frost and snow of the highlands constitute its solidity, the craggy mountains and rocks are its knives and blades, and the harsh climate throughout the year speaks of its ruthlessness and indifference; It was an impassable barrier, and even if the Lionmen could capture one or two of them, it would be a joke to say that they could break down the entire line.

But when these words fell to Brandoni Mercis's ears, they had expected it, and the shock of the first and second times was very different, they had witnessed the fall of that invincible line of defense in history, so they were now calm. "Although it is only a speculation, we must prepare for the worst, assuming that it is true, where is the army of Jogandigan now, how large is the size of the army, and the loss of the fortress group of the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Range, we must all re-evaluate, the key is, whether the threat that is close at hand, the army of Chogendegan, which annihilated the army of Count Orkans, is now aware of our existence, we must first confirm the danger of the guards around us." Brando thought for a moment and replied.

Nimesis glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

Charles also glanced at his lord in surprise: "Martha, lord, I almost thought that you also graduated from the Royal Knight Academy." This is the knowledge of the mercenaries, when did you learn this with Yuta? ”

The sycophant was shot just right, and Brando couldn't help but reply with some amusement: "There's so much more you don't know." ”

"That's right, otherwise why are you the lord, and I'm just a little sidekick?" Charles smiled slightly, teasing nonchalantly.

Medisa also smiled from the sidelines before asking, "My lord, what are we going to do next?" ”

"Call the others first, it's a big deal, we need to let them know first."

"Otherwise, the Duchess will say that you don't respect them." Medisa replied with a smile, "Arbitrary, self-serving. ”

"yes, I'm almost annoyed by her." Brando sighed and replied helplessly.

The little princess couldn't help but giggle.

……

"Get out of here, damn it!"

Rogers roared and stabbed the caveman in the chest, then raised his boot and kicked it down the stairs, but he couldn't even pull out his sword because of the force, and could only watch as it rolled under the dark hallway with the disgusting creature. But in an instant, he saw one or two flashes of light in the darkness, his heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and slammed twice, two spears were already inserted in the door frame above his head, and the tail of the spears was still trembling slightly, he was startled, and he didn't care to snatch his sword back, so he hurriedly took a step back, closed the door, and then dragged the cabinet and bed next to him to the door of the house.

A moment later, the sound of two heavy objects striking through the door was followed by a creaking scream.

Rogers breathed a sigh of relief, turned around covered in blood, and looked at the four people left in the empty room with a wry smile, and out of twelve, there were only a few of them left. Since the time of Nedwin, the Cruz royal family has installed spies and eyes and ears throughout the empire, and they are the knights of the inner court stationed in Hill Hill, their mission is not to participate in local defense, and now these monsters are purely unaware of the emergence of them to haunt them, and the number of opponents has caused them to lose so much overnight that they have to flee to this farm to protect themselves.

But in fact, everyone who is left understands that the so-called self-protection may not last long.

A tall, curly-haired man was leaving the window, he lowered the curtains, and the light in the room immediately dimmed, and then shrugged and said to the others: "Good fellows, they have surrounded the outside, and they seem to be planning to give us a good look, Rogers, you killed a lot of these, I don't think they plan to let you go." Do you have any last words, maybe if I'm lucky enough not to die, I can help you engrave them on the epitaph—"

"Lord Rogers, Sikun is no longer good." In the corner of the room, the female knight holding her companion covered in blood raised her head and said sadly, the knight in her arms had a deep wound in her chest, but it was not a fatal wound, the fatal wound was on the back of his head, and the female knight was holding one hand there, and the blood was flowing down her hand like a stream.

"Pray for him, Nasha." Rogers sighed.

The only man in the room who did not speak was a young man in a robe, who was intently placing the parchment in his hand into the fire in the middle of the room, his head bowed, and his dark eyes reflected only the light of a bright flame, as if it were a sacred work for him.

Rogers glanced at the young man, shook his head, and then asked the others, "What is that, do you see clearly?" ”

"Have you heard of it, it looks like a shooting star—hey, it's a pity I didn't have time to make a wish," the tall man continued, "but we met these cavemen halfway down, and I suspect there's some connection between them, these things don't usually come to the surface." ”

Rogers was silent for a long time before he said affirmatively, "I don't think this matter is that simple, we have to find a way to inform His Majesty." ”

The female knight silently whispered a prayer of consolation for her companion, and the young man who burned the text looked up at the others, and replied succinctly, "No." ”

"Can't do it?" Rogers glared at the companion in bewilderment, Qui was the most brilliant wizard of their group, and he was always able to deliver magical messages no matter what the situation.

The young man did not speak, but only stretched out his five fingers, and everyone saw a flash of fire flicker between his fingertips, but it was fleeting, leaving a few light golden-red lines, and then disappearing into thin air.

"What's going on?" The tall man couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Have those tricks of yours failed?" It can't be, Kui, you're the best. ”

The young man looked at them and replied, "Magical disorder." ”

"What do you mean?" Rogers frowned.

"Something is interfering with the law."

"What is it?"

"A more powerful spell, an artifact, or some unknown being." The boy replied.

Rogers' face became a little solemn: "If all the coincidences come together, then it's probably not a coincidence, Qui, Nasha, Trevor, I think it could be the worst." ”

"Could there be anything worse than right now?" The tall man asked.

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a heavy thud outside the door, followed by a crisp snap, and a crack had opened in the wooden door. He looked in that direction dumbfounded, while the others looked at him angrily, and the latter could only spread his hands helplessly: "Well, I'm a crow's mouth, when I didn't say it!" ”

Rogers unsheathed his sword from the mortally wounded knight, and then said to the others, "We have to try to break out, and your majesty is still waiting for our news." ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword.

……

Brando's orders began to be given one by one, and the perimeter of the legations was first enlarged, and gargoyles flew in the sky all the time, beware of the army of Jorgantigan that might be in Zài. However, the open hills and forests around the legation were no different, and Brando further expanded the search area, and sent the young sentry cavalry belonging to the White Lion Guard to Vargus and Leaf Avenue, and his efforts were not in vain, and soon these sentry cavalry found really valuable information.

The cavalry avoided the main road and followed the dense country roads in the Floating Cloud Hill area into the area of Vargues and Limye Avenue, and did not run into any of Jogandigan's troops along the way, but when passing near a village called Tuya near Vargus, they happened to encounter a small group of troglodytes besieging a nearby farmstead, the captain of the sentry cavalry, a non-commissioned officer who graduated from the Royal Knight Academy, he immediately judged that there might be survivors in the manor, so he immediately led his men to kill the troglodytes, Rescued the people inside.

Brando soon met with these people.

It was a group of four, three men and one woman, who looked more or less wolfish when they were brought before Brando by the sentry cavalry—they were dressed like the sons of the most ordinary squires in the Empire, and wore thick woollen coats, feathered hats, and deerskin boots, but their faces were resolute, and although they were stained with blood and mud, and two of them were not lightly wounded, they did not look the slightest frightened or dazed, but only a little tired. It was only at the second glance that Brando noticed that these people were all wearing long swords, although the swords were of different styles, and there were all kinds of swords, but their posture of holding the sword was very standard, neither like the gentry and nobles, nor like the soldiers of the empire, but like the knights of the inner court.

Brando understood the identity of these people as soon as he groaned for a moment, and he couldn't help but think that his sentry cavalry was quite lucky, and even let them bring back a few agents of the Cruz royal family, but then he thought about it and felt a little relieved, and only these knights of the inner court with extraordinary martial arts were more likely to survive this sudden attack and survive until now.

And when Brando was looking at these knights of the inner court, Rogers was also looking at the count, seriously, he didn't know the other party - on the contrary, he knew the identity and origin of the other party very well, and even the previous period from the black sword barrier to the arrival of the other party, he knew it clearly. In fact, the news of the arrival of the Eruin envoys was sealed with wax into the envelope marked with the sevenfold flame emblem, and then stamped with the seal of Hillat Hill and delivered to the White Rose Garden.

In the previous battle, he thought he would die, but he didn't expect to be saved by these Cruz scout cavalry at the last moment. The first time he saw the strangely dressed cavalry, he knew the identity of the other party, but before he actually met Brando, he had only heard of the Earl by rumor. Even what he didn't expect was that the head of the Eruin envoy was so young, so young that he inevitably had some doubts, the Eruin was relieved to let such a young man be the head of the envoy?

He suddenly understood the cause of the series of troubles caused by the Earl before.

With this in mind, Rogers and several of his colleagues bowed slightly to Brando, the courtesy of a knight was not about being inferior or inferior, but only to thank the Eruin for their help.
