The light in the valley soon became bright and abundant, like a green field, and Brando, squinting at the beautiful picture, answered some of the questions about the traveling mage to Chiara—of course, most of them were related to the secrets that Brando did not want to mention, but they were enough to outline the mysterious and full-bodied outline of a little girl.

When Kiara wasn't looking, Brando quietly incorporated the Peak of All Saints into his traveling mage world, a snow-capped sacred mountain right next to the Storm's Nest, drawing a pale cyan ridgeline across the sky of the Gem Plains.

It was only after about half an hour that the scout finally brought back the news from outside—

There is no sign of the Jogandigans outside the valley, but there are a small number of troglodytes stationed on the plains, and these troglodytes do not look like the front-line troops of the Qiaogandigang, but rather like a garrison with low combat effectiveness. Getting this news, Brando was completely relieved, which showed that the main force of Qiao Gendegang was indeed going to Asaph, and the remaining old and sick were just to prevent the defenders of Port Rune from causing trouble, but I also knew that it was impossible, in the interior of the empire, except for the nobles' private soldiers and knights, the guards of these cities had no combat effectiveness at all.

In addition, Rogers and others also brought back another piece of good news:

They contacted the defenders of Port Rune.

……

Port of Rune –

The largest port in the south of the Sublime Sea, the Pearl of the New Sea, is most famous for its huge white towers along the bay shore, which are remnants of the era of the Sage's War, and the Miner people use these hundreds of meters high towers to collect the magic that wanders out of the air, a technique that has long been lost after the Battle of the Sage. Today, millennia later, however, there are still a handful of towers that can be operated, but they are owned by the Anzlova people who live by the sea. These towers are still decreasing at a rate of two per decade, and it is expected that in thirty years' time, the last tower will be shut down due to aging equipment, after which time. These white minarets will truly become a testament to history, and they may one day be torn apart by wind erosion, or they may stand forever on the shores of this bay, becoming a unique and timeless sight here.

As they crossed the Primordial Plains, the Eruin envoys saw these legendary White Towers, standing alone in the distant sky, a bit like windmills without paddles, and the members of the Eruin were amazed by the spectacular scenery, and even the tension in the face of danger was diluted; The commonplace Cruz were much more dull, their gaze more drawn to the faint pillars of smoke in the northern sky. That direction was the direction of the port of Rune, which meant that as Brando had expected, several dragons had already visited the port first, and it was unknown whether it was only the ship that had been burned.

Most of them looked in the direction of Brando, the center of the line, even though the latter swore that there would still be ships in the harbor.

Although the port had been informed, the port was very cold to the reception of the envoys, and the guards who led them into the city looked indifferent. It's just that when I saw the long line of Cruz nobles at the back of the line, I looked twice, as if I had lost hope; And after entering the port. It was only then that everyone realized that the situation in the city of Rune was not optimistic, and that the Dragon Queen seemed to have wreaked havoc in the harbor before this, with charred building wreckage and traces of explosions everywhere, and the procession passed several temples along the way, and the square outside the temple was overcrowded with groaning wounded. Seeing these scenes, everyone subconsciously became silent.

Halfway through the harbor, the local consul arrived to greet him, the lord of Port Rune who had been the second son of Count Orcons, but who had been killed in the battle of the dragon beast in the harbor a few days earlier. At the moment, the whole city was run by the port master, Viscount Wallas, a man of no ambition and inaction, and at first he received a report from the guards that the Eruin envoys had arrived outside the port, but he was not willing to take the time to receive them, because Rogers did not point out that there were Cruz nobles in the envoy in the first briefing, especially the Count of Orcons, but when he confirmed his identity a second time, Brando added this small detail, Sure enough, the Count of Orcons' subordinates rushed over after making inquiries, and along the way they were still cursing these hateful Eruin people for making trouble for him - why didn't Lord Orcons say it sooner if there was one in the team!

As everyone knows, it was his fellow Cruz who cheated him.

For the death of his son, Orcons seemed very calm, he had six sons, in this era of war it is normal for subordinates and heirs to die unexpectedly, not to mention that he himself is a soldier, after listening to Wallas's words of guilt, he also comforted the latter a few words, which flattered the latter. The next step was to transfer the power of the city lord, Wallas was really incompetent, and made a simple transfer process extremely complicated, and full of loopholes, which made Brando secretly amused, and the person who was best at administrative work under him was naturally Antitina, and compared the two to make a judgment - even insulting the staff lady, it should be said that she did not belong to the same world at all.

And the disgraced Count of Orcons looked no better, and if it weren't for the fact that the other party had no merit and hard work, and that there was no second person with relevant experience in the harbor at the moment, it was estimated that the poor viscount would have been thrown into prison at once - his messy accounts alone would have sufficiened. Finally, the Earl could not stand it any longer, so he stopped the fellow, and asked bluntly, "Are there any ships in the harbor that can sail to the sea?" ”

As soon as Wallas heard this, his face fell, and he replied with a bitter face: "Not to mention the ships that are sailing on the sea, I am afraid that we will not be able to make up a sampan in the harbor a few days ago. ”

When Count Orcons asked this, he and Wallas were not the only ones present, and as soon as the others heard Viscount Wallas's answer, they immediately turned their heads to look at Brando in the crowd.

Brando certainly knew what they wanted to ask.

He waved his hand to everyone and said, "Don't worry, I said there is still a boat, so naturally there will be a boat." But before we do that, we have two more things to prepare. ”

When the crowd heard him say this, the commotion that had just arisen immediately subsided, and Viscount Wallas, seeing this scene, could not help but be startled, he had always preconceived that this group of people should be headed by Count Orcons. But now he found out that the real leader seemed to be this young man, and he didn't know the identity of the BrandoEruin, so he looked at the other party twice for a while, thinking who this guy was, could it be the illegitimate son of a certain grand duke?

But if he knew that Brando was only the head of this envoy group, he would probably be even more surprised.

Seeing that the crowd had fallen silent, Brando continued, "First of all, we need berths, Mr. Wallas, are there any special berths in the harbor?" ”

Wallas was slightly stunned. blurted out: "My lord, the special berth is-"

"Of course I know what it is," Brando replied disapprovingly, interrupting him, "You just have to answer whether I have it or not, and as for what is in the berth, I don't care, you just need to clean it out, even if it is Her Majesty's ship." As for what went wrong, just take responsibility for me. ”

The hard tone almost shook Wallas. He couldn't help but look at Count Alcons on the side, and after finding an affirmative answer in the latter's expression, he replied to Brando with a mixture of reverence and awe: "Of course, my lord, go up to the berth of the Grand Class and down to the anchor post of the sampan." You can have whatever you want, because at the moment there is not a single boat to be found in the harbor, let alone a boat, not even a plank floating on the water, because it has been burned to ashes by the big winged lizards. Not only that, but they also set a fire in the forest outside the city. ”

The viscount replied a little helplessly: "They don't know, in fact, the timber used in the shipyards in the port of Rune is all transported from other places......"

"That's enough." Brando interrupted his gushing nonsense with a wave of his hand: "You go find someone to clear the berth for us, and I will send someone to work with you, and you are responsible for doing things for them and fulfilling their demands, understand?" ”

"A qiē request?" Wallas looked tremblingly at Count Orcons until the latter nodded solemnly to him.

"I see, sir." He replied respectfully.

Brando found out that although this person has no ability, but at least obedient, no wonder Alcons' son will use him as a deputy, this kind of obedience feels really good, compared to the game's terminology Antitina's political ability attribute may be as high as 99 points, but the requirements for the lord are a little too much, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, and often questions his decision, it makes people want to cry without tears.

"The second point," Brando said to the others, "the dragon queen may not let us move, destruction is inevitable, we must determine a safe route, and we must also confirm the movement of the army of Jogandegang outside the city, in short, we must have a comprehensive understanding of the situation and the surrounding environment of Port Rune in recent times, it will take us one or two days to set off, I don't want to see the cavemen suddenly attack the city during this time, Count Orcons, you are the lord of the locality, and this matter will be left to you." ”

Count Orcons glanced at him and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Wallas." After Alcons responded, Brando called out to the snake again: "Please do us another favor." ”

"Your Excellency, even if you tell me, you will definitely respond to your request." Wallas now understood the young man's transcendent status, and quickly bowed his head in response.

Brando was very satisfied with this guy's reaction, and smiled: "It's not a big deal, I hope you can find a sacrifice from the city, there are wounded in our ranks." ”

As soon as Voras heard this, it dawned on him that in his guess, after all, this team had broken out from under the nose of the army of Jorgandigan, what a terrible war it had been—in fact, when he heard that the Eruin envoys had arrived at the port, he was startled, and he thought that the Eruin people in the Vargus region would not be spared, but he did not expect that the latter not only survived, but also rescued Count Orcons and his party, the Earl, who was indeed worthy of his name.

But no matter how worthy of the name, as long as there is a fight, it is normal for there to be wounded. But the viscount never dreamed that Brando's so-called member at the moment, in fact, there was only one person, and that was the daughter of the Imperial Prime Minister, who had been in good and bad conditions since that night, and almost lost his life at the worst, but Brando never dreamed that this crazy woman would be saved at the last moment by the unsuspecting Lady Mithriel.

Afterwards, Ms. Yinlong sued him. She also thought that this little human woman was Brando's friend, and she would only help out when she was grateful to Brando for her rescue, and Brando could only smile bitterly when she heard it, and she could only blame this lady for not deserving of her life.

To be honest, as far as he was concerned, he felt that for Delphine at the moment, it might be better to be dead than alive.

Because even the dragon clan is not a universal land after all, and the silver dragon lady can barely keep her alive at most. And the process itself was an incomparably painful one, and these days, for this young lady, I am afraid it was worse than hell, if she could feel it. And since Delphien is not dead, it is naturally impossible for Brando to stab her to death with a sword to end the young lady's suffering, and no one will be unhappy about this kind of thing, and since he has arrived at the port. Then the first thing to do is to find a qualified therapist for the prime minister's daughter.

That's fine, Brando thought. Anyway, at least the prime minister owes him a favor, and even if this lady barely survives, I am afraid that she can only spend the rest of her life in bed, and it is impossible for her to come to him for trouble.

Wallas instructed Brando about what he asked for one by one, and then suddenly remembered one thing, and quickly found Brando, who was discussing the route with Count Orcons, Chiara and others. He asked, "My lords, if you want to know about the cavemen outside the city, I think you can go up to the city wall at this moment." ”

"Huh?" Although they only knew each other for a short time, Brando could also see that this person would not be untargeted, so he stopped and asked, "What's going on?" Is there anything strange about it? ”

"My lord, these cavemen outside the city seem to be a little different......"

"Something different?"

Wallas nodded cautiously.

……

Upon reaching the not-so-high head of Port Rune, Brando quickly realized that there was something different about the troglodytes stationed on the plains, who were like Rogers and the others had been rewarded—poorly disciplined and poorly equipped, and at first glance a low-fighting garrison, but in addition to armed and armored troglodyte warriors, there were many unarmed civilians in the troglodyte camp, or rather troglodyte laborers.

These cavemen made up a large proportion of the camp, and they were setting up camp and managing some strange creatures, which at first everyone thought were siege beasts prepared by the Jogandegans to attack the port of Rune, but later it was discovered that it was a hoofed beast, which was about the same status as cattle and sheep in the surface world, which were the livestock of the cavemen.

"Are these troglodytes a logistical force?" When Sir Cooper saw this, he couldn't help muttering: "No, how could the logistics troops come to Rune, and it doesn't look like it!" ”

Cooper's words alerted Brando, who soon realized that the actions of the Geogendegans were less like plundering the surface and more like migrating or colonizing.

However, this does not conform to the usual behavior patterns of underground creatures, the surface world is not a comfortable environment for them to live in, and most underground creatures are blinded by bright light, indicating that the bright sunlight is too harsh for them.

So what are they doing?

Brando's mind was puzzled, but luckily, there seemed to be someone in the envoy who could answer his question.

He immediately asked the little prince to call for Lesmerca.

In a short time the Medusa came up from the city, and her presence caused a commotion in the crowd, which scrambled to make way for the lady from the underground of Jorgandia, and Lesmeca parted the crowd and came to Brando—the first time Brando had the opportunity to meet her in person, though the latter had already commissioned the little prince to tactfully express to him that he wanted to see him.

However, Brando knew very well what the inhabitants of Jorgandegan were, and if he could, he was in fact unwilling to trust this woman.

He looked back at the lady who had created a wave of amazement in the crowd, who had a brilliant snake hair—like a snake spitting letters—and her face was beautiful, as smooth as a sculpture of an ancient Greek goddess, and under her slender eyebrows, there were a pair of vertical pupils in her amber eyes, which could still be called beautiful without looking at her long hair, eyes, and the tiny scales on her forehead.

After hearing Brando's account, and seeing the cavemen and their animals in the city, Lady Medusa replied calmly and affirmatively, as if she had expected it:

"Your Excellency, you're right, they're on the move."

"And in fact, this is the great migration that has not been seen in a thousand years."

Her voice was a little swirling, like a siren's singing voice.
