What's in the Black Forest? This in itself is a secret.

……

Centaur Elder Walter is not so much about discovering the adventurer as he is about finding the remains of the adventurer. More than 30 corpses lay in the woods, dressed in light gray robes, with silver armor coming out below.

Brando lifted the corpse's robes and saw the crimson flame mark on the silver sè's armor, and thought to himself that it was no surprise - these were the temple's guards. In fact, he had noticed this from the corpse's posture when he entered the forest with Queenir and Centaur Elder Walder.

The swords scattered on the ground were also in the style of Cruz, but only the Templars would use them so flamboyantly, and if they were other human armies, they would be more or less able to see tomahawks or other standard weapons.

Lifting his robe, he now confirmed it.

"It's the gray-robed monk of the Flame Temple," he straightened up and said to Queenier and Centaur Elder Walter beside him, "I don't know if there are any flame guards." ”

"They didn't have a wolf, but it's weird that more than thirty corpses are neatly laid out here." Centaur Elder Walter said.

"Yes, it is said that if the temple collects the corpses, but it will not expose the corpses to the wilderness, even if there is no time, it can still be done hastily buryed. They knew there were wolves in the forest. ”

Brando walked over to the next corpse and lifted his robe: "Another monk." ”

"The point is that there are no signs of a fight," Queenier said, and the low trumpets of the night owl in the forest made him tremble the tips of his ears, "It was as if he had just slept to death, and there were no obvious fatal wounds on his body." ”

"Is it all the same?"

"It's all the same."

Brando examined the three corpses in front of him, and then he raised his head, and his gaze fell across the woodland to the other end - more than thirty corpses scattered in the woods, except for lying on the ground or leaning against trees, more or less in their previous posture.

Their eyes were closed, and their weapons fell not far from them, as if they had really fallen asleep.

But the pale skin proves that these are dead people who have lost their breath of life.

This scene is very strange.

Not far away, Centaur Elder Walter and Tree Elf Leader Quinir were silent when they saw this scene, and they were not surprised by this strange situation - no one could know about the Black Forest, and the deeper this forest went, the more it looked like a huge nightmare, which could silently put you into a dream and take your life at any time.

But Brando's ideas are different.

"I just don't know if it was taken away in an instant, or if it was something that I experienced before. What makes this qiē? Is it a wolf? ”

Brando walked silently between the corpses, not daring to draw conclusions, but compared to the helplessness of the two aborigines, Brando had already found some clues through the state of the corpse.

After all, the experience of a level one hundred and thirty warrior is not for nothing.

From the rich experience, whether it is Walter or Queenier, they have to call him a senior.

Brando suddenly stopped beside a corpse, and he crouched down to see the monk clutching a golden amulet in his hand. He pulled the amulet off the other's hand with all his might, and he confirmed the time of the corpse's death—it was slightly stiff, and his fingers were cold, like a wax figure.

Then Brando put his hand on the other party's mouth again, and there was still a trace of residual warmth, it seemed that the temple had only passed by here for a short time. However, Brando was slightly surprised that they were one step ahead of him - it meant that the Sanctuary of Fire also knew about the druids' plans and took advantage of these unsophisticated tree skewers.

"Hmph, these forces with deep family backgrounds really don't have the ability to listen to the news." Brando couldn't help but think.

However, he also knew that such a big action by the druids was just a concealment of small forces like Goldmane Toquinine and Eruin, such as the wizards of Buga, the Templars, and the Cruz, and I am afraid that they had already guessed the outcome of tonight's operation.

In other words, they should all go to the depths of the cloud ring.

Brando looked up at the corpses in the woods, wondering if it was really that simple to go deep into the Ring of Trade Winds? No matter how powerful these behemoths are, I'm afraid they can't imagine that they have already had an experience.

The deeper he delved into the world, the more Brando felt the advantage that the player had once had.

Then he held up the amulet and looked at it, and in the middle of the amulet was a diamond-shaped amethyst, which had been half blown up by the unleashed magic - it was rumored that amethyst could ward off evil spirits, so it was often used to make zuò exorcism amulets.

The fact that the monk died holding this thing in his hands showed that he was aware of the danger.

Then it wasn't a life taken away in an instant.

Brando immediately came to a conclusion in his heart, and then he wanted to receive this talisman in his bag, thinking that this talisman could still be used for repair, and the things used in the temple were generally not bad.

But he immediately reacted, this is not a game after all, and if he moves the deceased's things without permission, God knows if the two in the back will directly throw a halberd over.

Centaurs and tree elves have the greatest respect for the dead and spirits.

Thinking of this, he put the amulet back in the dead man's hand, it was not a good thing anyway, and he couldn't take the risk—in fact, Brando had already felt the eyes of Walter and Quinier sweep over him.

He stood up and said affirmatively, "These monks are here to stay. ”

"After the break?" The Centaur Elder was stunned for a moment, and he saw the young human walking between the corpses, crouching down from time to time to examine, and at first he was slightly disdainful. Corpses leave behind messages, but only veterans, professional hunters, and professional clerics who have truly emerged from the mountains of corpses can read them.

Walter himself knew it - as an old warrior he could easily tell if the wound was caused by a blade, a bite, or some kind of magic, but he was helpless against such a strange corpse.

The young man walked around there twice, and he could see that these people had stayed behind?

I'm afraid it's just speculation.

The centaur couldn't help but frown, and for the most commander, it was irresponsible to draw conclusions. He looked back at the Dryad beside him, and Quinil frowned as well, but the latter shook his head at him, motioning for him to be at ease.

"Hmph, these indecisive tree skewers." Centaur Elder Walter was quite unimpressed.

Brando, however, did not seem to see Ward's indifference, and he walked to the other side and surveyed the entire battlefield. Then he set a direction and pointed in that direction and said, "It looks like the people from the temple are coming from that direction, similar to us." ”

Walter was stunned, and Queenier was slightly taken aback. When they found the body, they ordered their men to search the surroundings carefully, and the druids were first-class in this regard, and it didn't take long to determine the direction in which the humans were entering and leaving based on the lodging of the vegetation in the forest.

Brando's judgment was not far from theirs.

"What? You don't believe it? Brando saw the surprised expressions of the two: "You just need to search in that direction, the march in the forest should leave a lot of traces." ”

"No," Quinil asked, "we just want to know, how do you know?" ”

"Well—" Brando thought to himself, it turned out that the temple was already marching with this cross-shaped arrangement at this time, and this kind of formation with four escorts guarding the center became the player's favorite formation after being improved by the player in the game, because it was flexible and mobile, and had time to react to any unexpected situation.

However, as the commander of the regiment, he was very familiar with this way of marching, and Brando walked to a tree: "The temple enters the forest from this direction, the left flank sweeps through the woods, and the scouts first spot the enemy, and then warn the others here. ”

He looked up, and sure enough, he saw a corpse in the canopy.

Then he took two steps to the left, the seven or eight corpses that were the furthest away from the periphery of the position: "The enemy was so fast that he didn't have time to react, so the first to meet the enemy were the Grey Knights on the periphery, the scouts of the Templars. ”

He lifted his robes, and sure enough, he spotted the Grey Knight's mark.

"Akane!" Brando turned around and shouted, "Come here, go there." He pointed to a spot and said to Akane, the red-haired girl was standing next to Antitina and was looking at the situation from a distance, but she couldn't help but be slightly startled when she heard this command.

However, her vocation as Brando's follower is obedience, and although Akane doesn't understand, she walks over anyway.

Brando drew a circle with his hand over the positions of the Grey Knights lying on the ground, and then he looked back at Walter and Queenier: "The Grey Cavalry is surrounded in a semicircle, the distance is wide, and their task in this formation is to stall for time - these are the elite of the Templars, well-trained, and well aware of this. ”

"But there was no fighting." Brando gestured to Akane as she walked over the bodies of the six Grey Knights, "And they fell." ”

"The last Grey Knight must have been frightened, and he was starting to turn around here," Brando saw the signs of broken grass and trees at his feet, and then he looked up in the other direction: "He ran away in that direction, but was overtaken, and still did not fight, and fell down and died." ”

Brando said, looking at a corpse there.

"The enemy is strong," Brando said as Akane continued her walk into the woods, "After the left wing of the convoy was ready to meet the enemy, the decision-makers of the temple immediately arranged for them to break the rear, turn the left flank into a rear formation, and then break away in that direction. ”

He pointed out of the forest, as if he had seen the situation with his own eyes.

Ward and Quinil turned their heads in unison, and their faces changed suddenly, because Brando had guessed correctly again. By this time everyone had heard a trail of footsteps coming from outside the forest, and the Centaur Elder and the Dryad Leader had turned their heads almost nervously - but they saw that it was the Eruin.

It seems to be a guy named Count Outin.

In fact, Brando had the team stop halfway up the hill and did not move forward for a long time, and the count was really impatient to come up to see the situation, but he was startled as soon as he came up.

Corpses in the woods.
