Brando pushed aside the trees, and the branches and leaves of the bushes rattled, as if a window had been opened for the dense overlapping branches, revealing the scenery behind them; Looking down, there are layers of undulating terraces, and a bright mirror is printed between the mountains, and this is Brown Bear Lake. Everyone let out a long sigh of satisfaction in unison, in order to avoid the encounter with Qiao Gendigang these days, it is not an easy thing to trek through the mountains and forests, especially after abandoning the carriage, for these delicate young masters and noble lords, it is simply fatal.

"Brando, there's something over there!" Only Roman, who seemed to be tireless, took Golan - the little daughter of the Grand Duke Elson, whose nurse at this time had to be supported herself in order to move forward - looked around with her probe and soon cried out.

Brando knew that her perception was different from that of ordinary people, so she stopped and asked, "Can you see what it is?" ”

"It's like a human being, one, two."

"Is it alive or dead?" Kiara also asked, they had seen the ability of Miss Merchant more than once these days, and some people might have questioned it at first, but gradually it turned into envy and amazement, just because of Roman, the guards of the envoy regiment did not even have to take the risk of sending gargoyles to the sky to investigate, although the latter had a wide field of vision, it was also easier to expose in the sky, and Jogandigang also had the Harpy and the Hilodrake as an air force.

"I don't know, the two of them are sitting back to back under a beech tree."

"Did they move?"

"I don't think it's moved."

"Probably dead, where?"

"At the lake, there's a white rock, just below the third tree." Roman replied.

Everyone gasped, it was at least ten miles from here to Brown Bear Lake, and all they could see was the cascading canopy of trees like an ink carpet. But this businesswoman can see two people under the trees by the lake at a glance, what kind of vision is this? The little daughter of Grand Duke Golan-Elson looked at Roman who was holding her with a little admiration, and said crisply: "Sister Roman, you are so powerful! ”

Roman's heart blossomed, but he pretended to be very serious and replied: "That's natural, I'm amazing." ”

Brando glanced at the guy. Although the latter's face was tense, her crooked eyes already revealed what she was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

In the Bear Lake area, it is impossible to continue to avoid Jorgandegon Town, where there is a Greystone town that is the only exit to the west of the Silver Valley, and Brando is confident that the people of the Underground will not let go of this strategic point. So instead of passively responding to the battle, it is better to prepare first, and the group walks down the mountain to the place that Roman said. Sure enough, I saw two people sitting back to back under a tree, it was two Cruz soldiers, who had been dead for a long time.

The group parted from the bushes and walked near the corpses, Roman quickly covered the eyes of the little daughter of the Grand Duke Goran-Elson with his hands, while the others saw the gray robes on the two corpses, and the star-shaped rose emblem on the robes, which Brando recognized as the emblem of Soven, the insignia of the dragon knight of the Caronian Land. This proves that the two men must have been soldiers of the Legion somewhere in Anzlova. "The Dragon Knights of the Caronian Landwalk, this is Sir Pfister's troops!" There were already Cruz nobles behind who recognized the identity of the corpse. He whispered, "The North Mountain Outpost has also been lost?" ”

"Where is the North Mountain Outpost?" Brando asked.

"To the north of here, on the road to Bouos." Rogers replied as he looked at the two corpses.

Brando nodded, crouched down next to the corpse, and carefully examined the wound, the first corpse had a penetrating wound, but it was not fatal with a single blow. Instead, he died of blood loss, he compared the incision of the armor under the battle robe, and faintly concluded in his heart: the Caronian Earth Dragon Knight is a third-order soldier, and it should be another third-order soldier belonging to Qiaogandigang, the Razor Boar, who killed him. This war beast is the tamed beast of the Sadr cavemen. Since the razor boar is here, there should be Shadel troglodytes in the vicinity.

The Razor Boar's special abilities are Charge and Diehard, which is similar to the Warrior's Charge, which causes it to take enough damage to die, generating a false life equal to 10% of its total health, until the false life is consumed or lasts for more than ten minutes, before the Razor Boar actually dies. Brando thought of the ability of the razor boar, and suddenly cursed, thinking about how this ability was so similar to his own, but he was more puzzled that the ability of the razor boar was just restrained by the low roar of the Calonian Earth Dragon Knight, and the low roar of the Caronian Earth Dragon can make most of the beasts except the monster fearful, which is a sharp weapon for the Caronian Earth Dragoons against other cavalry, and it is also effective against the Razor Boar, it stands to reason if the Caronian Earth Dragon Knight is determined to run, Razor boars can hardly pose a real threat to them.

With such doubts, he examined the second corpse, the injuries of this corpse were very strange, the neck and arms were strangely bent, as if they were broken, generally such injuries were caused by blunt force blows, but on this corpse, no wounds left by blunt blows could be found, Brando was wondering, Princess Magdal, who had caught up from behind, looked at the two bodies with a frown, accompanied by Dilferry, and then spoke: "Monsieur Count need not be confused, he fell to his death." ”

"Fell to death?" It dawned on Brando that the man had fallen from the back of the dragon and broken his spine, killing him, and that his body had been snatched by another companion, who had also died of blood loss.

"It's not that simple, how can a well-trained Earth Dragon Knight fall off the dragon's back, but they are fixed to the saddle." Chiara replied to herself as she crouched down beside Brando, and was about to poke the two bodies with her hand, but before she could touch it, the latter pulled her hand away: "Stay away from these things, child." Brando replied angrily.

"I'm not a child!"

Brando paused to look at the little one.

Chiara looked very unhappy, she muttered something to herself, but no one heard clearly, and it would not be a good thing to think about. However, Chiara's previous words reminded him that the dragon knight had been lifted from the dragon's back, and the straps on his waist and legs had been broken. Judging from the port, it was obvious that it was torn rather than severed, and the Shadel cavemen obviously did not have this ability, and only the earth-walking dragons could cause such a result.

It's just that the Calonian Earth Dragons are very tame, rarely go berserk on the battlefield, and are not easily frightened, and they have deep feelings for their masters. Even if the rider is unfortunately killed, they will stay by the rider's corpse for a long time, Brando really can't figure out why these two Carlonian Earth Dragon Riders died here alone, there is no shadow of their mount nearby, if it is acceptable to say that a small probability event of a Carlonian Earth Dragon accidentally going berserk is acceptable, but the current scene is too bizarre.

He thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason, and it was at this time that Roman suddenly shouted behind him: "Ah, what a big mouse! Then Roman cried out again.

Everyone looked back for the sound, and sure enough, they saw a giant rat running away from the woodland. The thing was gray all over, with a long earthworm-like tail in tow, three strange bone spurs on its back, a head larger than the average house mouse, and two rows of sharp teeth in its gaping jaw, in addition to the huge incisors that rodents are accustomed to, and it was hiding under a nearby rock, apparently unexpectedly unexpected. It startled and turned to burrow into the bushes. But when Brando saw this, he didn't think about it, so he picked up the long sword next to the corpse and threw it over, and a flash of silver light pinned the giant rat to the ground with a pop.

The little daughter of Grand Duke Goran Elson happened to see this scene, and she screamed and hurriedly hid behind Roman.

"What is this?" Chiara frowned and looked at the little thing struggling on the ground with a look of disgust.

"Cave Rats. Shadel Caveman Hound. Nimersis in the back replied.

"They're using this to spy on us!?" Ephram was so frightened that his fat body trembled, and the son of the bulbous duke looked around with some creepiness, as if the forest was full of rats staring at them in the dark: "We must have been discovered, right?" ”

"But this thing is quite conspicuous, as soon as it comes close to us, I can spot it." Roman replied, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Don't worry. ”

Everyone looked at the merchant lady with freak eyes.

However, her words still made everyone a little more reassured, some people may not be willing to follow Brando at first, but the experience of the past two days has proved his ability, he knows more about these underground creatures than others, with experience and judgment, they finally walked out of Vargus calmly, avoiding a battle that Qiē could avoid; If the Cruz men had to follow Brando because they had to do so as captives, they now see him as a savior.

These days they have passed through Hemlock Town, Varges, and several other villages, and have witnessed the scene of the army of Jorgandigon passing by, the villagers reduced to stone, the Imperial soldiers, or the heads stuck in the spears of the cavemen are constantly reminding them of the current situation, and now no one dares not believe that they are facing an army from the underworld, even the most stubborn Earl of Guien has shut his mouth, and the nobles have begun to become frightened, Brando, the only one who seemed calm, became their only support.

After all, fellow humans are still much more amiable than those vicious monsters, and the only thing that makes them complain is that Brando has incorporated their servant guards into reserves, and confiscated their rations for uniform rations.

The sudden appearance of the cave rat diverted everyone's attention, and Brando no longer dwelled on the matter of the dragon, and he told Nimesis about the suspicion, and the female knight was equally puzzled, but there was no answer, and then the two of them stopped wasting time on it. There was obviously no time to bury the corpses at the moment, but Brando still asked the four Rogers to tidy up the appearance of the two Caronian dragon knights after death, and then placed them in a secluded place, at least to ensure the minimum of decency, which won a lot of gratitude from the four knights of the inner court, and even those Cruz nobles faintly felt that this count from Tonigel might not be a rude person, and the grudges accumulated before were also invisibly resolved.

The team left the lakeside and continued north, with Brando's goal of circumnavigating Brown Bear Lake before dark and reaching the vicinity of Greystone, though he realized that there might be a Shadrel caveman nearby. It slowed down the team. The party made its way through the forest surrounded by the mountains on the shores of the lake, and found the corpses of several more Imperial legionnaires, once a small group of swordsmen on foot, and once another of the Caronian Dragoons, but his mount was also found, and then the woodlands began to show signs of fierce battles and troglodytes. It was a species of cavemen with purple-red skin and a mane, and they were lying in a leafy forest, apparently a Jorgane army heading north along Brown Bear Lake was met by Cruz's local legions, and the two sides fought fiercely in the forest.

There were even traces of magical bombardment in the forest, and a flame ploughed through the nearby beech woods, leaving behind a scorched earth belt ten feet wide and hundreds of feet long, and the ashes were full of shards of molten metal and other things, and Brando estimated that at least half a squadron of Imperial soldiers had died here, but he was a little confused. This kind of magic is a bit like the throwing fire chain of the demon sorcerer, the elemental envoy and the law wizard have no similar spells, and the wild elf sister Flo stood next to the scorched earth belt for a long time, also frowning and not saying a word.

"It's not an elemental spell." Finally she replied.

They crossed the shattered battlefield, but then the scenes became more and more like this, making it hard to imagine what had happened in the forest, and in some places it almost looked like land left behind after the demon rage. It's just that the Countess of Swallowburg in the team is extremely sensitive to demons, and Brando has asked her a few times. The answer is no. Rogers, Trevor, and Nasha were silent, and the nobles of the Empire who followed them were silent, in their minds the Empire was invincible, but the current scene clearly shattered this fragile expectation in their hearts.

At this time, Brando's place in their hearts has self-evidently become more important.

But out of all of them, only the dark-haired young man named Kui was muttering to himself, "Why are they attacking Boos?" Are they planning to bypass Greystone? ”

When Brando heard this, he glanced back at Nimesis, and then both of them shook their heads slightly.

Arriving a little later than expected near Greystone, the sun was slowly setting below the mountains, but there were still a few rays of light in the valley. Brando and the others stood on a nearby hill and observed the town downstream of the Yong Milky Way, the direction of Greystone Town was pitch black, like a shadow in the valley, and the sunset in the sky was shining with blood, as if it was a sign of some kind of calamity. No one in the team spoke, and everyone clearly understood what was happening. However, there was even worse news, when Brando saw several harpies circling in the sky, indicating that there were still garrisons from underground in the town.

The nobles' faces looked a little ugly, because it meant that their wishful thinking of easily exiting the valley of Guòyong was frustrated.

Brando had expected this, and he cautiously led the others from the top of the hill to slowly retreat into the woods behind, ready to discuss what to do, whether to wait for the garrison of Jogandigan to leave, or to pass Guò by night, but it was at this time that Roman stretched out his little hand and patted Brando's back, and whispered: "Brando, Brando, look over there, there are a few people." ”

Brando was startled, thinking to himself Miss Roman, if you could have said something earlier, but his body reaction was obviously faster than his brain, and he almost subconsciously pulled Miss Merchant backwards and hid in the bushes, although the others didn't understand what was happening, they also found their own concealment. Roman got up from the bushes, spat out a few mouthfuls of grass leaves, and looked up to continue looking around, but was pressed down by Brando's little brain. "Where?" Brando asked, looking out through the bushes.

"There's a row of low trees down there, and a couple of people are hiding down there, do you see, Brando, they seem to want to go the other way, ah, there's a guy running out, it's that sneaky guy." Roman tried to remove Brando's hand from his head, but apparently in vain, and finally she replied with some frustration, and Brando looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a figure disappear in a flash and disappear under the dense canopy of a hornbeam tree.

"That's Walton!" Nasha on the side suddenly let out a low cry when she saw the figure.

"Who is Walton?" Brando immediately looked at the Cruz knight and asked.

"He's Sir Cooper's captain of the guard, I've met him once, he's a swordsman from Ludwig." Nasha looked at him with some distrust and hesitated for a moment before replying.

Brando looked back at Rogers, who hurriedly explained, "Nasha has a special ability, as long as the people she has met are unforgettable, and if she thinks so, then she must not be wrong." ”

"Why are they here?" Trevor was a little puzzled: "I thought they were the same as the Moore family, and they had already been killed on the north side of Leaf Avenue. ”
