"We're divided into three lines, Rogers, you and Count Kien go with you to capture the gates west of Greystone to make sure we have a way back, and I'll have Charles join you in dealing with the high-ranking creatures in Jorgande's army." Brando looked at the four knights of the inner court, and deliberately read the words of Count Jean very seriously, in fact, everyone present understood that Brando was transferring the command of the noble private army under Count Jean to these four knights of the inner court, as for the so-called with Count Jean, it was just a fig leaf, so as not to make the Earl unable to get off the stage.
Count Guien could only vent his dissatisfaction with a low snort not far away, and he had to bow his head under the roof, not to mention that to be honest, this arrangement was quite to his liking, at least it was much better than his own army being stolen by the other party.
Of course, in terms of attitude, he would never give Brando a good look.
Rogers nodded silently at Brando's order, he knew that the young Mr. ** was not only here to help them, but also a kind of surveillance, and it was impossible for this Lord Earl to be completely relieved to hand over the army to them, the Cruzians.
Brando saw that Rogers had no objections, nodded with satisfaction, he still trusted these knights of the inner court of the Queen's Majesty, Rogers was upright, and he didn't suffer from any bad problems of the noble lord, he continued: "...... Medissa" But suddenly he saw Miss Merchant's side jumping and jumping on the side of the envoy, waving her hand at him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, Roman, the envoy will be handed over to you, there is a bakery called Rovis's compass in Greystone Town, There's a secret passage there that leads to the lower reaches of the Silver Valleyβ" He looked at Rogers, the bread shop was actually the secret residence of the Inner Court Knight in Greystone, and the latter had told him the news, Rogers nodded to confirm, and Brando turned around: "Miss Nasha will take you and the envoys to find that place, in addition to Metiza will lead a squadron of White Lion infantry to protect you, and besides, I leave everyone's safety to you, so you should at least give me a little more stability this time." β
The merchant's eyes sparkled and she nodded vigorously.
Brando was still not very relieved when he saw him like this, so he simply said to the duke's daughter on the side: "Miss Oni, I'm sorry for you." β
The duke's daughter didn't look too much, she didn't want to see him at all, and said coldly: "I will naturally be responsible for my own safety." After that, she added: "Besides, I think Miss Roman is much more reliable than you, at least she won't start a war for no reason." β
"That's because you still have too little contact with her." Brando sneered, thinking that the young lady would soon regret her words, but the envoy would not be in much trouble with this route, so he dared to hand it over to Roman with confidence. Even in the event of a battle, there were Eco and the non-commissioned officer from Yanirasu among the entourage, and among the Cruz captives were the knights of the Summer Solstice Order, including a deputy commander with the pinnacle of gold, Blonnfield, plus Metisa, safety could still be guaranteed.
His order to the envoys was to guard the entrance to the secret passage, and if there was an unpredictable situation in the other routes, then they could at least retreat from the secret passage, which was the worst-case scenario, leaving a way back for the whole plan.
As for the last road.
Brando glanced at Sir Cooper not far away, Cooper didn't know what was going on in the sky at this moment, the gargoyle's attack was carried out in complete secrecy, and Cruz only knew about the four knights of the inner court, so this Sir was still depressed at the moment, with no hope on his face. "Sir Cooper," he asked, "will you come with me to the rescue of Count Orcons and the other Imperial nobles?" β
Cooper was slightly stunned, then slowly looked up at him, as if he were looking at a psychopath.
"Why, Sir Cooper, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a retainer of Lord Earl, but is that all your loyalty to Lord Count has to do here?" Brando asked again.
Cooper licked his dry lips, "With all due respect, Mr. Count Toniger," he replied with a slight stammer, "your plan sounds perfect, but the question is, you don't seem to have said how we should get into the city and fly in?" β
"Fly in?" Brando smiled and shook his head, "That would be too slow." β
He snapped his fingers slightly.
In an instant, more than a dozen light gates opened in front of everyone, and Cooper was almost stunned by the spectacle in front of him, and Rogers even whispered, "Buga teleportation circle!" He looked at Brando with a complicated expression: "Lord Earl, the craftsmen and wizards are really behind you. β
Brando held out his index finger to his lips and smiled, "Mr. Knight, you know so much, and if you make it louder for Sir Cooper to hear, maybe he'll start to doubt your identity." β
Rogers' face changed, and after thinking about whether it was more important for him to hide his identity as a knight of the inner court, he cautiously closed his mouth.
Cooper seemed to finally recognize these things, he had been lucky enough to see the flame gate of the fire temple in front of him, although these portals in front of him were not as spectacular as the flame gate opened, but the aura that represented space and time was the same, he stammered and asked, "Big ...... My lord, this ...... This is the portal. β
"Answered correctly, but no extra points." Brando replied with a chuckle.
β¦β¦
The portal flashed with white light, and Brando and Nimesis had already appeared in the secluded courtyard, and then the teleportation circle continued to shine behind the two, and Cooper and his guards also appeared, followed by Yuta and a team of white lion swordsmen. The tree elf druids who were guarding in the courtyard immediately bowed when they saw Brando, and Brando nodded to them in return, at this time the tiger sparrow and the two sisters Floro and Tia just walked in from outside the courtyard, and he saw that Brando also put his hand on his chest and made a knightly salute and said, "Lord Lord." β
"Ready?" Brando asked.
"Ready, we've captured a tromen's patrol, these guys' loyalty is as the lord said, purely based on the mentality of clinging to the strong, but there is no sense of honor, as soon as we ask, they all tell it." Tiger Sparrow replied very easily, the level of the White City Vanguard card is based on the level of the Flange Knight, and now that Medisa has the strength to manifest the elements, and they are almost at the level of the lower reaches of the Golden Bottom, a few cavemen are just a piece of cake for them.
"Do any of you know Jogandigang?" Brando originally thought that he could sell the half-baked Georgantigan language inherited from Sophie, but he didn't expect that some of the people in the tiger sparrow group would understand this obscure language, and the small sense of superiority in his heart was suddenly shattered, but it was more curious, the entire Vaond world except for the dwarves in the mountains did not have much contact with the underground inhabitants of Jogandigang, and the underground and surface kingdoms were almost two independent worlds because of the barrier of the big beehive, plus the ancient dwarf language of the Gegandigan language, It is a very different language from the Cruz language family, which is derived from the Miner language, and even scholars have rarely studied it.
Tia, who was standing next to Flo, smiled and said a lot of strange things to him as soon as she opened her mouth, and Brando was almost startled when she heard it, isn't Tia speaking in Jogandigan? And it has a strong caveman accent that makes people think, 'That's right, this is the smell!' He almost couldn't help but want to ask*** Do you know that your family knows that Qiao Gendigang speaks so well, but he looked at Flo who was facing him with a straight face and finally couldn't ask, because most of them knew, and secondly, he wanted to make Tia happy, and it was not something he could afford to lose his temper later.
Brando finally asked in surprise, "Tia, when are you going to know Jogandigan?" β
"Tajib taught me." The wild elf sister replied proudly, "Is it amazing, Brother Brando?" β
"Very powerful." Brando praised without hesitation, making the latter giggle.
After gossiping, Brando asked Tiger Sparrow carefully, "What did they say?" β
"I have said everything that can be said, as you expect, my lord, the lord of the Shadr troglodytes in the city is the servant, and he lives on the north side of here, and these blind men do not know the way, and I judged it according to their description, and there are some references in that place, and the street is very wide, and there is a square with a fountain in the center, and the servant is stationed there." Tiger Sparrow pondered for a moment, as if organizing the words, before replying cautiously.
Brando looked at Cooper, who hadn't recovered from the teleportation yet, until Brando tapped him on the shoulder, and the latter asked, "What?" Reluctantly, the Sparrow had to repeat it, and this time Cooper listened, and then it dawned on him: "I know that place, Place Saint-Chande, there is an inn called Silver Bell, and once I passed by Greystone and landed there. β
"It looks like it's the central part of the city." Brando said, "Our caveman friends are pretty good at choosing places. β
Cooper was slightly surprised: "Earl, isn't it your first time in the Empire?" β
Brando smiled: "The central area of the city is surrounded by the most prosperous commercial areas, so how can the place where you can settle down be a remote alley?" β
Cooper was stunned.
"Since Mr. Sir knows that place, let's ask Mr. Sir to lead the way." Brando looked at the dark night sky and reminded him that the Harpy would change shifts every hour or two, which meant that sooner or later the underground inhabitants of Jogandigan would find out that they had been attacked, and although there was still plenty of time, at least it was not the time to gossip.
But Cooper seemed a little hesitant, he looked left and right, and found that in addition to the druids in the courtyard, Brando seemed to bring only a small group of people behind him, and at most the three tiger sparrows - although in his opinion Tia and Floro were at most maids and other figures, maybe a few more outside the door, but this seemed to be too few. He couldn't help but look bitter, "With all due respect," he asked cautiously, "Lord Earl, is it too hasty for us to raid a lord of Jogandigan?" β
"Is it still called a raid when there are too many people?" The sparrow replied with some disdain.
Brando was not at all surprised by the disposition of these nobles, and he was relieved: "Mr. Sir, do you think I will take you with me to die?" β
Cooper thought for a moment, thinking that it was more likely that Brando would send him to die, and that there really was no reason to go with him to die, and he thought that the reputation of the Count from Eruin was quite good, and before that he had personally asked his colleagues who had been captured by Brando, and although everyone, including Count Guien, wished the hillbilly from Erouin good luck soon, they did not deny that Brando was not bad for them - at least in this regard, The other party is quite aristocratic.
Thinking of this, Sir Cooper felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw, or rather, a reassuring pill, and nodded hesitantly to Brando.
To say that St. Champ Square is located in the most prosperous area of the center of the greystone town is not to say that it is not a geometric center, and the town has been expanded two or three times beyond the city walls, which is common in the hinterland of the empire where it has not been war-torn for many years. St. Champ Square is located in the old town, is the center of the old town, the five main streets leading to the five gates of Greystone Town converge here, forming a large area of open square, the square is distributed around the shops, hostels, the hall of the local business association and the hall of the noble council A series of tall buildings, of course, the most majestic building at night is a temple of the pottery god Calidas, but this pottery god is full of bad luck, last time in Buchi, the undead of Madara only collapsed one wall of his shrine, At the moment, these cavemen are doing well, and they have directly requisitioned the temple as a military camp.
Brando and his entourage hid behind a wall next to a nearby shop, and when the tiger sparrow saw this, he couldn't help but pout, "Although these cavemen can't see things, they can tell the good from the bad, and they even use the temple as a place for them to eat, drink, and Lazar." β
Although it is already the age of mortals, it has been a thousand years since the gods left Vainde, and the dark dragon and the four sages have established a new order on the earth, but Martha's people have never forgotten the favor of the gods in the ancient era, and many people still think that the gods will return to Vahnd sooner or later, and the monks of the Temple of Fire believe in Martha, and they do not intend not to stop this statement, not to mention that the divine skills of the priests have never failed, which proves that the protectors of order are still responding to the call of their people. Such a statement was in market in the countryside, especially among the southern Cruz and the Eruins who believed in the god of pottery, and poor Sir Cooper was such a devout believer that he was almost pale with horror at the blasphemous words of the tiger sparrow.
But he didn't dare say that the tiger sparrow was wrong, because even in his opinion, these damned cavemen were too much.
There is a fountain in the center of St. Chande, and the statue on the fountain is said to be the full-length image of the local founder, Monsieur St. Chande, but unfortunately the statue has fallen from its base and fallen to pieces, and two razor boars are sticking their heads into the fountain next to the statue and snoring and drinking, and not far from them, their domesticators, more than a dozen purple and long-maned Shadel troglodytes, are standing or sitting on the marble steps of the temple. They were muttering something in a language that most of the people present did not understand.
"It's vulgar." Even Brando couldn't help but shake his head, cavemen were uncivilized, they only believed in the mysterious spirits of the dark caves, and it was obviously unrealistic to expect them to maintain a basic respect for the history and culture of the Cruz.
He pointed to the rooftops of nearby buildings and said, "Tia, Flo, you are in charge of dealing with these noisy things. He was referring to the harpies on the rooftops, seven of whom watched over the square above the halls of the Chamber of Commerce and the Hall of the Noble Council, and these creatures were particularly energetic in the night, constantly leaping up and down, attacking each other, and making high-pitched noises, which were annoying.
"No problem." Flo replied, and Tia nodded vigorously.
Brando pointed to the cavemen at the entrance of the temple and a nearby troglodyte patrol and said, "Youta, I'll leave this to you, eighteen rats in all, don't let them make a sound." "The White Lion Guards accompanying the envoys are basically the elite drawn from the original guards, and the ten people selected for the raid this time are the elite of the elite, everyone has at least the strength of the silver midstream, even against the razor boar, Brando is not worried at all that they will not be able to deal with a team of semi-Shadel troglodytes.
Juta hesitated, brushing the flaming strands of hair on her forehead with her hand, but nodded.
"In the end, there are two razor boars left, one for me to solve, and the other for Sir your captain, the captain of the guard, this thing has no intelligence, as long as it doesn't make too much noise," Brando said as he looked at Cooper's captain of the guard, "Mr. Walton, what do you think?" β
Walton, the famous Ludwig swordsman with thick eyebrows and a sparkle in his eyes, gave Brando a suspicious look, as if he doubted what the other man could do at his age, but nodded his head in the end.
"Nimesis, you and the druids stay in for the unexpected." Brando finally commanded.
"Yes." The female knight replied lightly.
