The Eruin envoys froze at Brando's words, and Count Robron's fat hand moved in mid-air, but it didn't come down after all.

There was an eerie silence between the faint mist of the forest, and the light of a campfire in the distance was bright or dark, and the sound of crackling charcoal was heard.

The sound became so clear and audible in this environment where the pins could be heard.

Brando saw an incredulous brilliance in the eyes of these people that shone in the light of fire, Roberon half-raised his hand, the mademoiselle covered her mouth slightly, and Count Outin's hand hung from her sword.

Everyone looked at the young nobleman with the gaze of a madman.

So Brando spread out his hand, his expression was soft, and his words were as light as the night breeze: "So, what are you going to do next?" ”

The nobles' lips quirmed.

……

"Cut, those guys can't even control their own people, it's really useless." Faina pulled her skirt and hid behind a rock, staring with some dissatisfaction at the confrontation between Brando and the Eruin envoys in the clearing outside the forest: "If you go on like this, you won't achieve your original purpose at all." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look back at Viscount Ehrman with a little grumbling.

The young viscount was not annoyed, and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, the good show is still to come." ”

As if to confirm his words, Viscount Ehrman's voice had not yet fallen, and outside the forest, Brando suddenly turned his head to the side of the forest, "Who?" He shouted, and the sword of the earth in his hand came out of its sheath like a black light, and a crossbow bolt flew out of the forest with a 'ding'.

The first target of the crossbow was Count Outin, but it was a little off, and it went straight for the female bachelor behind him. The aristocratic lady didn't react at all, and if it hadn't been for Brando's action, she would have been splattered with blood five steps by now.

However, Brando was able to keep one, but he couldn't prevent more, so he made a move, and Count Roberon on the side was hit by an arrow. The fat man fortunately had a bit of swordsmanship, although he was already rusty, but he still avoided the key point at the last moment and was shot in the shoulder by an arrow.

When the pampered noble lord was injured like this, he immediately let out a wail like killing a pig.

"Who" Count Outin was only one step slower than Brando, but someone dared to sneak up on them at this time, which made the general from the Northern Legion both shocked and angry, and he immediately drew his sword and faced the direction of the attack.

And Brando, who was on the side, had already looked at the mutilated crossbow on the ground and frowned, how experienced he was, he had already analyzed a lot of things the moment he knocked out the crossbow.

"At least this arrow is not a masterpiece of the double crossbow, in terms of strength, at least it should be the effect of equipment above the alchemy level.

The Eruin were not in the habit of equipping the magic crossbow, so Brando first ruled out an ambush arranged by the fellows in front of him, and he clearly sensed that the arrow was headed for Count Outin.

The Eruin Legation still has enemies here?

He looked back and saw a dark shadow in the forest.

Those black shadows moved quickly, as if they had already spread out to form an encirclement posture as soon as they appeared in the forest, and the number was at least hundreds, and Brando squinted his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the firelight illuminating the appearance of these attackers.

They were humanoids with tigers and bears, each with a lion's head, and a gray-gold mane that hung down from the lion's face like a beard and fell to the inlaid leather armor below.

Their palms are similarly furry claws, though much more slender than their four-legged cousins, and they wear leather boots and carry a variety of weapons.

"Toquinin, the golden-maned lionman," Count Outin, had already called out the origin of the other party.

Hundreds of golden-maned lionmen paused, and then two burly golden-maned lionmen who were nearly a head taller than ordinary lionmen walked out of it, and the guy at the head had a long scar on his face, almost splitting his thin eyes in two, and the one behind seemed to be its lieutenant, one step behind him and stopped.

"Good morning, everybody, in Nizhny Rovac, a little disturbance." When everyone present from the first Golden-Maned Lion Man team smiled slightly, the muscles on their faces moved and almost twisted the flesh-red scar.

"What do you want to do, Toquinen?" The general's face was gloomy: "Do you want to provoke a war?" ”

It's a pity that the golden-maned lion man Rovac ignored him, but raised his sword and pointed at Brando: "Little one, hand over the sword in your hand"

Its move made the faces of all the Eruin magnates present change - although Rovac was targeting Brando, its empty action almost blew up the lungs of Outin and Count Roberon lying on the ground.

They can get Brando in trouble, and that's because they're fellow Eruin nobles.

And they can tolerate the Cruz people's intimidation, and that's because the Eagle Empire is so prestigious.

But what are these barbarians?

During the time of the Eruin Nation, the Golden-Maned Lions were a small tribe on the northwestern frontier of the kingdom, and they fought against the Eruin for many years, suffered many losses, and eventually retreated into the mountains.

Although in the past hundred years, the kingdom has gradually weakened, and the golden-maned lion people on the border have moved a little, but I didn't expect the other party to be arrogant to this point.

Not only surrounded and attacked Eruin's envoys, but also had a fearless attitude.

The first thing that thought of Outin was whether these beasts that had not yet evolved had found something to rely on, but he could only think of the Cruz, but this was obviously unlikely, at least Eruin still believed in the realm of the Flame Temple compared to Toquinine.

In the eyes of the Cruz, these creatures are real beasts, and they will never stand behind them to support them in their fight against Eruin.

That is against the teachings of the Flame Temple.

But beyond that, the Earl could not think of a reason why these beasts were so arrogant. Of course, he didn't act rashly, there were hundreds of people in the forest on the other side, and they only brought twenty or thirty guards with them to find Brando, and it was self-evident who would suffer if they moved.

He and Roberon exchanged colors, and although they both thought that they must teach these uncivilized two-legged cats a lesson, the good man did not suffer the immediate loss, at least for now, he had to stabilize the other and return to the camp first.

He lowered his face and asked in a deep voice, "Rovac, aren't you worried about the consequences of doing this?" Or do you think that the Eruin envoys are the only ones with us? ”

Rovac's eyes narrowed, as if he had just noticed the presence of everyone else except Brando. It sneered and licked its paws, looking at the people in front of it with its peculiar yellowish prismatic pupils.

Indeed, it did not dare to do so before.

However, it had received important news from the Cruz before it came, and the Eru of the outside world was now divided and unable to wage a war. What made it a little amusing was that these usually high-ranking Eruin nobles didn't seem to know about it, and it was looking forward to what kind of expressions the other party would have later.

Toquinen has been peeking at Eruin's rich land for a long time, and in the past ten years, he has finally waited for such an opportunity, and since he will tear his face sooner or later, he doesn't care whether it is today or tomorrow.

Moreover, the Cruz people had told them that the sword of the earth was now in the hands of these Eruins, and this news was even more important to it.

The sword of the earth was originally a sacred relic in the wilderness, and it is said that whoever holds this holy sword can dominate many people of the mountains and the earth, and the golden-maned lion people originally thought that this sword should be lost in the mountains of Anwa, so they fought with the dwarves for hundreds of years.

I didn't expect it to be here.

They were originally here for the rumors of the artifact, and now there is no shadow of the artifact, but it is also a good choice to get the holy sword that has been found first.

"The consequences?" Seeing the changes in the faces of these Eruin nobles, Rovac couldn't help but sneer: "I may still be worried when you said this a few decades ago, but now you don't seem to know what the situation in your country is now, right?" ”

Outin was stunned.

"What do you mean?" Someone has already asked.

"Your country is now divided into two, and the lords of the country are fighting each other in full swing, that is, you have the leisure to explore and hunt for treasure here, right?" The tall golden-maned lion man smiled.

Its words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the Eruin nobles present, making their faces turn pale.

Of course, they knew what was going on in Eruin, and the old king had sent them to the south to find the Lionheart Sword in order to save the kingdom's fate, but they didn't expect that the kingdom would fall into disintegration before they could do their best.

What's going on? Is this really the will of Lord Martha?

But just when everyone's hearts were in turmoil, Brando finally spoke:

"I'm sorry," he replied softly, "I didn't hear what you just said to me, can I trouble you to say it again?" ”

Brando's hand holding the Sword of Earth sank slightly, his face sinking like water.

He felt that the anger in his chest at this moment could burn the world, and Brando was very upset by these compatriots who came to the door for some reason, and was about to take action to teach these guys who didn't know the situation on behalf of the future princess regent and princess.

But he didn't expect it.

At this moment, someone would hit him headlong into the muzzle of his gun, and when the tall golden-maned lion man pointed his sword at him and asked him to hand over the sword of the earth with a sneering tone, he almost couldn't resist splitting this guy in two with a single sword.

Not to mention that the other party simply ignored him afterwards and taunted him as much as he could.

"I'll you, you're pulling hatred," Brando took a deep breath, and if he thought this guy was practicing pulling hatred, then he had to congratulate the other party - it succeeded.

I said, "Rowak is completely unaware that danger is approaching, and how good can a young man be?" It was Torquinen's warrior, and it had gold-level combat power for more than ten years, otherwise it would not have been assigned here to find an artifact - so in the face of Brando's threat, it just smiled lightly and replied, "Let you hand over your sword-"

Just halfway through the word, Brando had already raised a black line and shot at it, and then the young lord raised his hand.

Only one sword.
