The Great Glacier -

This is a frozen and frozen world, crisscrossed by glaciers, like stacked glass, a crystalline world. The cold wind swept the snow and ice all year round, like a sharp blade, carving deep scars on the smooth ice, day after day, forming the rugged and strange landscape of this place. However, in such a harsh and treacherous environment, there are still outsiders

An old wizard in a silver robe was struggling through the snow, holding an ivory staff in one hand and pressing the other on a pointed wizard's hat that seemed to be blown away at any moment, his snow-white beard fluttering wildly in the bone-chilling ice wind, one foot deep and one shallow foot in the knee-high snow, and the staff in his hand was called 'Tir', which means knowledge, and the Bugas possessed

The three keys to the truth - knowledge, wisdom and reason, yet this artifact is now being used as a cane.

The old wizard walked slowly along the valley, as small as an ant, and he came to a halt in an open clearing through the blue ice.

It's a huge valley, with black rocks jutting out from under the snow, forming steep peaks all around, and between the peaks, the wind and snow are much smaller. The old wizard looked around, there was an artificial structure in the valley, it was supposed to be a tall tower suspended in mid-air, it was a bit like that kind of beautiful obelisk, snow-white, hundreds of feet high, but it was already now

Shattered and crashed into the valley, its wreckage partially buried under the snow, and the surface of the mysterious pattern was frozen in ice, apparently not in the recent past.

"The third." The old wizard shook his head and said to himself.

As if in response to his words, there was a contemptuous snort in the cold wind, and it was a woman's voice. The voice was hoarse, but full of majesty and power: "William, I said you would come back here, how, you should have noticed that the boundaries of order are fading at an accelerated pace. The fragile law is crumbling and disintegrating, and everything is as described in the prophecy

and your ridiculous efforts are in vain, and this time, there is no more fool to save you-"

The old wizard - or one of the supreme beings who stood at the pinnacle of this world, one of the silver twelve rings, the master of Canaich, the king of time and space - did not change his face, and even smiled slightly: "Honorable Lord Fucia Kath. Or should I call you the Seven Dragons, or the evil dragon Fusia, or Dallas Tyre, the daughter of the dragon who rules the storm and time

Child? ”

"Humph!"

This cold snort seemed to turn into a storm, causing an icy wind to rise in the valley. The woman's voice replied coldly, "If you really respect me so much, how can you imprison me in this place, my eyes have seen through three thousand years, since you chose to betray. I'm here waiting, waiting for you to taste the bitter fruits. Now, you're back here and suing me

What are you thinking about right now? ”

"Mistress Fucia Kath, no one has ever regretted it." William replied aloud in the face of the cold snow and wind.

"Do you see the waves in the sea of magic? William, you might as well guess what is being bred beneath the apparent calm? The voice scoffed.

William raised his eyebrows slightly, "I understand that you know, Lord Fusia Case, that I'm here today. I just want to ask you, what do you see, what's going on in the east? We are feeling that the laws of Tiamat are changing at a rate not seen in a thousand years, and we don't know what is happening, the tide of magic is rising day after day, and the moon of magic is falling

The seas of another world are beginning to become turbulent, but we can't find out why. ”

"What do you see?" Fucia Kath asked.

"In just one month, we have lost thirty observation points, and as you said, the borders of order are receding at an accelerated pace, and we have lost three holy towers in the great glacier alone."

The woman's voice smiled contemptuously: "I saw the fire extinguished with my own eyes, and I knew that you would definitely come here." ”

"So tell me, what else do you see?"

"In the Harvest Moon, our wizard observed the Black Moon—"

"Black Moon," Fucia Kath chuckled, "the thirteenth moon, she finally appeared, how is it, beautiful?" ”

"She destroyed Caleta, and the people who were there that day observed a strange vision."

"What kind of strange scenery is it?"

"The tower, as if immersed in the black night." William replied.

"Babel's Reflection." Fucia Kath replied, "But that's not why you're here. ”

William looked up at the mountains surrounding the valley before replying, "I feel that all the observation points in the entire eastern realm are shifting at the same moment—"

"Do you suspect that I did it?"

William did not answer.

"Ridiculous," Fasia Kath scoffed, "I'll give you a word of advice, William. ”

"The moon, lost—"

……

Even on a winter day, the temperature was unusually high, and the sun was far away in mid-air, but after crossing the middle line, it shone directly on the ground, making everyone a little anxious while waiting. It had been a while since Count Guine and his army had surrendered with his army, and at first Brando thought it was a trap, but after a trial

only to find that the other party seemed to be sincere. Although he didn't know what these Cruz nobles were up to, he still lowered their weapons and temporarily kept this noble army in the red pine glade, and he only wanted to know one thing now - what medicine the Earl on the other side had taken wrong.

However, Count Guine did not want to see him in person, so he had to ask Princess Magdal and Charles to do the work for him, and he waited for a long time until Charles returned from the Red Pine Forest, and the first thing the young wizard attendant brought him was: "My lord, I have found out what is going on." ”

Brando looked at him, his face calm and did not speak in a hurry, although this was the answer he had been wanting for a long time.

Charles then replied, "Moore and the Coopers, the Walkers, and the Earl of Orcons." None of them were ambushed in this vicinity, and in fact Count Guine had not been able to contact them since this morning, nay, since last night. ”

"What do you mean?" Brando's answer didn't understand for a moment, and he frowned slightly. Asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, and Count Guine can't tell, but according to his description, the people seem to have disappeared, and he thought we did it, so he was forced to surrender to us." Charles replied with some amusement, and the Lord Count seemed to him to be clearly frightened.

"Missing?"

Brando was almost stunned for a moment before asking, "What does this mean?" ”

"Literally, the Moore and Cooper armies were stationed in Hemlock Town from three days ago until yesterday, and the Walker Army was stuck in Varges. Count Orcons was stationed near Limleaf Avenue, but now that these armies were missing, at least Count Guine could not contact them. Charles replied.

"Is this possible?" Brando thought it was simply unbelievable: "Are you sure this can't be a trap, did our gargoyle carefully search the surrounding area?" ”

He asked this sentence was actually nonsense, and they had searched the vicinity several times before, and were sure that there was no trace of the enemy, so they dared to come out and accept the surrender of Count Guien. Besides, even if this is a trap, the Lord Earl on the other side will definitely find a way to tell a lie that is at least a little in line with common sense. Instead of making up such a fantastical story,

The more outrageous the other party describes. In fact, it proves the reliability of what he said.

Sure enough, Charles shook his head slightly: "It doesn't seem to be a lie, you didn't see the Earl's appearance, he seems to be really frightened, he doesn't want to see you, most likely because he is afraid that you will not be good for him." ”

Brando shook his head incredulously, "There's to Hemlock Town." Gargoyles and scouts are being sent near Varges Town and Leaf Avenue? ”

"You'll have to ask Lady Metissa and Nimersis, my lord, I'm not in charge of that." Charles replied.

Brando remembered that he couldn't help but pat his head, thinking that he was completely dizzy from the strange situation at the moment. So he hurried to find Metisa. The latter was making arrangements for the placement of the Cruz captives, who were now the largest number of prisoners they had taken in along the way, a thousand men, and many of them were not

The nobles, the mercenaries, or the peasants and artisan soldiers, were much more troublesome to deal with than the nobles, because they had to provide them with food, and according to Charles, these people simply let it go, and he was tempted by this Tiyì Brando, but he knew that he must not be so hasty, because then his intentions would be too obvious.

When Brando found Metisha and asked about the scout and the gargoyle, the little silver elf princess seemed to have expected him to come to her, so she immediately replied: "My lord, the town of Vargus and the avenue of the forest are far from us, but the gargoyle sent to Hemlock Town has already returned once, and it is true that as the Lord Count said, there is no one there, too."

There are no traces of the battle. ”

"No traces of battle?"

Medisa nodded.

Brando felt more and more weird, or did the Count of Orcons get some news beforehand and leave Count Guien alone? But this reason sounded a bit ridiculous, if he was running alone, then there was no need to bring the knights and lords of the Moore, Cooper, and Walker families, but if he could tell the others to run along, then not necessarily

Leaving Count Jean, even if he wants to sell his teammates, his first choice should be those powerless and powerless little nobles, and Brando really doesn't see any need for the other party to turn against the Jean family.

But if it's other possibilities, it's even stranger, because there's simply no justification for it.

He asked Charles to question the Earl a few more times, but he came to the same conclusion, which made him fall into confusion for a while, although it was a rare good thing to be able to win without blood. But the problem is that the current situation is really a bit creepy, and the army of thousands of people is in an area of tens of miles, in one night

What kind of situation did it disappear into thin air?

In desperation, Brando had no choice but to ask the envoys to stop and wait for the gargoyles and scouts to send back news from Vargoyle Town and Leaf Avenue, and from Count Jean's description, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, it was like an instinctive premonition of danger, and he had experienced all kinds of abnormal situations in the game, which provided him with a wealth of experience to deal with each

kind of emergencies.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the gargoyle had not yet returned from the town of Vargues and the area around the Leaf Avenue, but by this time Nimesis had finally returned from the legation to the White Lion Guard, and her main task was to send the little prince and the rest of the envoys, including the noble captives of the Cruz, to join the large army, and Brando had felt that there was something wrong with the battle.

That's why this more reliable female knight was sent to do this.

In general, it was the merchant lady Roman and Dilferi who were in charge of the matter.

After Nimesis returned to the White Lion Guard, she heard the description of the others, and immediately frowned: "How far is this from the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group?" ”

Brando understood what she was thinking as soon as he heard it, including the previous life, the two of them had been working together for a long time, and sometimes they could understand the meaning of the other party with just one look and one word, and he immediately shook his head: "This is not far from Rokozy, the nearest fortress in the Broken Sword Mountain Range, but it is far away from Tokunin, this is the Floating Cloud Hill, according to the nearest elimination."

Well, the lionmen of Toquinine are still south of the Anzeruta Mountains, and even if they break through the fortress and travel day and night while we get the news, it will be impossible to get here. ”

"Besides, they're still there." Charles added.

Brando nodded, but then said, "But it cannot be ruled out that the nobles have provided us with false news. ”

"What's in it for them, my lord?" Charles asked.

"No good," replied Brando, "it is impossible for the Cruz nobles to side with the lionmen, and it makes no sense for them to lie to us on this matter, but the question is, what if the information they get is not accurate in itself?" ”

But this time Medisa shook her head: "My lord, these days, according to Nimesis's orders, we have been collecting similar news among the captives, but the rumors we have received are similar, unless the lion man intends to deceive the imperial side, what those nobles said should be true." ”

"Unless the lionmen are intentionally deceiving the Empire?"

Brando's sudden and keen grasp of this sentence glanced at Nimesis, and according to their earlier analysis, the Lion Man stood still south of the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Fortress Group, unless there was some internal disagreement, or the Frontier Legion was deliberately deceiving and paralyzing the Empire. While the former is very unlikely, the Lion Man is a clan kingdom in which the Great Chieftain and the High Priest

Under the leadership, if there are no contradictions between these two people, then it is almost impossible for there to be disagreements within this large army, and perhaps there will be some minor contradictions between the clans, but they are harmless. As for the relationship between the high chief and the high priest, there is less likely that something will go wrong.

The leader of this era was the Lion King Orr, a famous monarch who was a student of the High Priest of this generation, and there were no unpleasant rumors between the two.

But if it's not the former, then it's probably the latter.

It's just that before this, Brando didn't have enough information, so he could only put the lionman's movements on hold for a while, but at this moment, as soon as he was reminded by Metisa, he immediately thought about it, and subconsciously said: "Senior sister, is there a tunnel left by the ancient dwarves under Anzeruta?" ”

In a hurry, he accidentally called out the name of Senior Sister Bai Jia in the other world, but fortunately, the other people around him didn't seem to notice this detail, only Nimesis glanced at him lightly, shook his head and said:

"Dwarves do attack the Anzeruta underground, but it's unlikely that the Tokunin Lions will be able to use them."

"Why?" Brando was slightly stunned and asked.
