"What the hell is going on, Lord Count Toniger." Just as Rogers saluted, the daughter of the Duke of Vieiro hurriedly walked over, and when she saw Rogers and the others, she immediately stopped, obviously recognizing the other party as a Cruz. There was a puzzled look in her eyes, and she saw that although these people were wounded, they did not look like the Earl's captives. Brando didn't let the envoys participate in the battle, so they waited for news in the back, but they didn't expect that it was Flo who was waiting for last, and Miss Wild Elf didn't tell them whether they won or lost, but only told their lord to let them pass.

Along the way, though, Oni noticed that there was no sign of battle in the vicinity - she didn't see the Cruz army, and the White Lion Guards on guard nearby didn't look like they had gone through battle.

Brando saw the others behind the duke's daughter—Miss Merchant, who winked at him to say she was fine, Ephram who looked reluctant, Eco who stood with Count Yanirasu's men, Little Lori of the Goran-Elson family, Chiara who had her eyes on the hilt of a few Cruz men, and Miss Enid beside her, and finally Dilferry, Magdal, and Haruzer.

The Baron, who had just arrived at the legation, followed behind everyone, keeping a distance, and looked at Brando with a wary gaze.

Brando didn't pay attention to him, although he knew what this person was coming from, and when he saw that the envoys had arrived, and the convoy stopped on the avenue not far below the mound, he nodded to Flo, and in response to Oni's question, Brando only looked at Rogers on the side and said, "Sir, you have also heard this lady's question, and you must have guessed that we are the envoys of the Eruin people; And as guests of the Empire, we would like to know what is going on, so I thought maybe you could tell us a thing or two? ”

Roger's gaze swept over these people one by one, and he said with a slightly surprised look on his face: "This ...... My lord, we were suddenly attacked by those monsters, and we haven't figured out what is going on. ”

Brando smiled, "You're locals?" ”

"Exactly," replied Rogers at once, "I am Rogers of the Valens, and this is the son of Sir Fergus," he replied, pointing to the tall, curly-haired companion beside him, and then introduced the female knight, "This is the daughter of Sir Turner, and he is a pupil of Mr. Locke." Finally he introduced the young man in the robe.

Brando didn't know if he understood that these were all false identities, but he didn't bother to debunk them, but asked a few more questions about the local area, and Rogers answered them all. The Duke's daughter looked at the two of them suspiciously, and she didn't understand how Brando could be interested in these people, she originally thought that the other party was from the side of Count Guien, but she didn't think that it was just some local gentry descendant.

After listening to Rogers' answer, Brando smiled slightly: "You answered well, so it's right." ”

Rogers wanted to say more, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what the other party meant by saying this, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat for a while.

Brando replied, "Since you are so familiar with this place, Mr. Rogers, you must be the knights of the inner court stationed here, or should you be called Mr. or Madam Agent?" ”

Rogers' eyelids jumped, and he subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and a man and a woman behind him all made the same movement, except for the young man in a robe, with black hair and dark eyes, who was indifferent. Rogers' hand had just been placed on the hilt of the sword, but suddenly he realized something, and slowly let go, he raised his head and smiled bitterly at Brando: "Lord Count, your eyes are good, you have already recognized us, right?" ”

"You're welcome," replied Brando—these spies were undoubtedly the best gift Martha had given him at the moment, these were the most important eyes and ears of the Cruz royal family in the region, and sometimes they knew even more about the actions of everyone in a region than the local lords, not to mention that most of the people who could be selected to become knights of the Inner Court were better at this time, and if they wanted to find out what had happened to the Floating Cloud Hill overnight, it could be said that no one was more suitable than them. This time his sentry cavalry obviously couldn't have done a better job, and he continued: "Mr. Rogers, since you are a knight of the inner court stationed in the local area, then I will not beat around the bush, you are more familiar with this land than I am, and I think you should have more or less guessed what happened to you. ”

Rogers exchanged glances with his companions. Then he looked at Brando and asked tentatively, "I'll only admit it partially, but we're not sure yet." ”

The Duke's daughter couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard that these people were actually knights of the inner court of the Cruz royal family, and couldn't help but glance at Rogers and them more, but the dumb riddle between Brando and this person still made her unbearable, and said: "Or I can ask, what are you talking about, what is going on." ”

"Miss Oni, if the lord is not mistaken, the creatures under Qiaogandigang may have invaded the empire." Medisa received a hint from Brando's gaze at this time before she replied softly, and then she recounted what happened to Count Jean and some clues they had discovered, which were not classified and could be understood by going to Vargus herself.

"Jogandigang!" Oni was startled, the duke's daughter was almost stunned for a moment before she realized what she was talking about, it can be seen that this term had never appeared in her mind - even in the most whimsical imagination, the people of the underground and the people of the earth were isolated from each other, and the water from the well did not interfere with the river water for thousands of years, how could it suddenly invade the surface? Her first reaction was that the Earl was lying to intimidate them again, but her eyes fell on Rogers and the others, who did not open their mouths to refute, and she realized that this qiē might be true, and couldn't help but blurt out: "What are they doing here!" ”

She reacted as soon as she finished speaking, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and say, "Lionman! God, they're not going to be back together with the Earth Sanctuary again, will they're a thousand years from now? ”

Rogers' face darkened slightly: "Lord Earl, you have a few layers of certainty about what you said!" ”

"There are several layers of certainty that you know in your hearts, why bother to ask me." Brando replied.

At this time, Enid asked the little girl beside her a little cautiously, "Chiara, what are they talking about, is the empire in trouble?" ”

"**Annoying," the little girl who was still wearing her huge scholar's square hat smiled a little gloatingly, "If that guy wasn't lying, I'm afraid the days when the Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group was still in the hands of the Empire are probably a few days away." ”

Rogers was obviously aware of this, and he had a vague uneasy premonition in his mind when his communication magic was interfered with, and he knew very well what it was, blocking magic on the battlefield. If it was a simple monster attack, the cavemen would never use this kind of spell, they could only face an organized army, and what was behind these underground creatures was self-evident.

His face changed for a moment, and finally he made a decision, he first glanced at his companions, and then said to Brando: "If Jogandegang did attack the Empire, then this area should have fallen into their hands at this moment, which is also a problem for Lord Earl." ”

"Naturally, I don't think cavemen can tell the difference between Cruz and Eruin." Brando replied.

"What is the Earl going to do?"

"I have an easy solution, which is to find out the movements of these underground creatures and find a place to break out," Brando replied, "Their first target is the defense line of Anzeruta, and the second target is also the army of the Empire. But I have a more perfect idea, if we can get in the way of these uninvited guests, maybe the situation in the south of the empire will not be as bad as it seems. ”

Rogers and the three behind him all looked at Brando in surprise and said in a trembling voice, "What are you talking about, Lord Earl?" ”

"Why, what I'm saying is hard to understand?"

"No, but ......"

Brando looked at these dumbfounded knights of the inner court, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a kind of pleasure in his heart that he had succeeded in his prank, and the unbeatable Imperial people were also confused, which meant that they were all played around. The little girl beside Enid laughed at this scene with bad intentions, and from time to time let out a soft snort from her nose, not knowing whose stupidity and superficiality she was mocking; The Duke's daughter suddenly realized something after Chiara, and couldn't help but take a deep look at the head of the envoy.

Brando spoke at this time: "I see, do you think that from my standpoint, I should now be on the hostile side of the Empire, or at least remain neutral?" ”

Rogers didn't answer, but the look on his face was undoubtedly the same, the tall man behind him shrugged his shoulders, a look of helplessness to be seen, and the female knight behind them looked a little nervous, her hand on the hilt of the sword never left, only the last young man did not say a word from beginning to end, and his face was not shocked.

Brandodo glanced at the young man before replying, "You have made a mistake, I am still on the side of some of you, but this will not change the fact that the Eruin are still allies of the Cruz in this holy war. ”

Rogers glanced at the Earl with some surprise, thinking that the rumors said that the other party had a strange personality, but he didn't think that the rumors were true, in the other party's mouth, the empire is the empire, and the nobles are nobles, as if they were two separate concepts, he faintly felt that Brando meant something when he said this, but he didn't have time to think about it for a while, and replied with some gratitude in his heart: "Lord Earl, you are black and white, such an upright quality makes me admire it very much, and now I believe that what you have done in the Black Sword Barrier is as rumored without the slightest flaw, I apologize to you on behalf of the Empire. ”

Hearing this, Kiara hurriedly pulled Enid around, her actions startled the latter, and she couldn't help but whisper, "What's the matter, Kiara, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The little girl of the Sifah family had a terrible stomach ache at the moment, and she couldn't help but smile and replied, "It's nothing. Enid, I'm afraid I'll laugh out loud, you help me block it, I can't stand it anymore, poof, sneer......"

The daughter of the Count of Gray Mountain looked at her companion inexplicably.

But Rogers is indeed a little grateful at the moment, there are very few people in this world who can separate their love and hatred from the principles of life, the feud between Brando and the nobles of the empire is well known to the world, not to mention that they were still preparing for a war before today, but the other party can decisively let go of hatred and prejudice at a critical moment, and this open-mindedness alone is enough for him to admire. And this admiration stems from his gratitude as an emperor, when he saw the empire in danger but could not do anything, and grasped a life-saving straw in a desperate situation, of course, he was more skeptical of Brando's words, but he didn't show it in the face.

Brando took in everyone's looks, then shook his head and replied, "What I need now is not an apology, and even an apology is not for you, but for some arrogant guys." Now what we need is to find out what is going on, and what I have said before is nothing more than speculation based on existing intelligence, but we need a more detailed plan, Monsieur Rogers, and I believe you understand why I would want to see you, because if I wanted to know what was sent before yesterday night, no one here knows better than you. ”

This was what Brando and Nimesis were most concerned about at the moment, the deserted hemlock town and the fact that there was no sign of a fight, and the fact that only a small number of its inhabitants had been attacked by the Woodleaf Avenue and Vargues, all indications were that the army of the Count of Orcons and the other nobles had not retreated because of the attack on Jorgandegan - or at least they might have escaped before that, but Brando wondered why Count Guine had been left alone in this place - In fact, the Earl is still there cursing his unsympathetic colleagues. Coincidentally, the Sentry Cavalry rescued the farmstead where Rogers and the others were, and according to the cavalry captain's judgment, these Cruz Knights were not the owners of the house either, which means that they probably met the cavemen in the middle of the road and had to retreat to a nearby farmstead to defend them.

As for why they left their secret residence at that time, it may have been a coincidence, but Brando is more inclined to a different speculation.

Rogers was also slightly surprised at this moment, obviously this count was very clear about the jurisdiction of their inner court knights, but he was a little puzzled as to why the other party knew them so clearly, the inner court knights were only semi-public even in the upper echelons of the empire, and some secrets were only in the hands of the royal family from beginning to end. At this point, even the young man in the robe raised his head for the first time, glanced at Brando, and lowered his head again.

This thought only flashed in Rogers' mind, and then disappeared, but then an even more surprised thought rose in his mind, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Brando very puzzled: "Lord Earl, don't you see?" ”

"See what?" Brando asked inexplicably, and he immediately frowned again after saying this, instinctively realizing that he and Count Guien might have missed something.

Of course, it was also possible that the other party was playing some trick, but when he saw Rogers look back in shock and exchange glances with his colleagues, he knew that the other party was not lying. It seemed as if it had taken a while for Rogers to digest the news, and he rolled his Adam's apple before he replied dryly, "Count Count, excuse your offense, and may I confirm once again that you and your envoys did not see that pillar of light last night?" ”

His tone was so cautious that he unconsciously used honorifics when addressing Brando.

"Pillar of light?" Brando was really stunned at this moment, he and Nimesis stayed awake all night, but they didn't see any pillars of light at all: "What are you talking about, is there something that has a magical resonance, is it the trick of those crypt creatures in Jogandigang?" ”

"It's not a magic resonance," the female knight who had not spoken all this time blurted out: "It's the artifact resonance, how could you not see it, near Varges and Lin Ye Avenue, half of the sky was lit up, and almost everyone saw that the meteor fell to the ground, and the northern sky seemed to be burning." ”

The two of them finished speaking at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time.

Everyone looked at each other.

"What are you talking about, there's nothing like that at all." The Duke's daughter frowned and retorted.

"Stream, meteor falling to the ground? Is there such a fun thing! Roman's eyes lit up, and he hurried to look at Métisa, who frowned, as if thinking about something.

"You said that meteors fell to the ground, and the northern sky seemed to be burning?" Brando seemed to have heard the Arabian Nights, and subconsciously asked.

The knight didn't understand what she had said wrong, and she looked at her companions, but both Rogers and Trevor had gloomy faces. "What the hell is going on," Rogers asked in a deep voice, "Lord Earl, you haven't seen this scene?" ”

Brando didn't answer, he exchanged only a glance with Nimesis, who nodded silently at him and mouth-shaped him with a word.

Brando looked back, as if he had understood something at once, and said to the White Lion Guards on the side, "Go and ask Count Jean if he has seen what Mr. Rogers said they said." ”
