"Bernaldo, how did you do that? It's been a few days, no clues, not even any progress? ”

In the treehouse of the captain of the seventh brigade of the 1st Druid Legion, Captain Bernaldo is taking action. The earth druid, who seemed to be much haggard after a few days, stood up anxiously and walked up and down the room.

"Do you know that Lord Malfurion, the President of the Legion, has issued a death order, and we must find the culprit! If we go on like this, how can we explain to adults? ”

He looked at Bernardo and said bitterly.

……

"My lord, I can't help it......"

Bernaldo, whose face was also extremely haggard, suddenly raised his head: "After all, we are not fast catchers, we can fight wars, and it is unprofessional to find murderers......"

"The lord also ordered us not to leak the news, you know, the Ranger Legion was because of the leakage, almost unable to suppress the bullets, rushed our battalion several times without saying anything. The Goddess of Nature cultists were even more surging, almost causing several large-scale brawls between the Goddess of Nature cultists and our Goddess of Life cult. ”

"So, we can't even get the trappers to help with the investigation - we're really going to dig that place three feet into the ground these days."

He said with grievances.

……

"Are you sure there are no leaks?"

The captain's expression became more and more angry.

"No, everyone was ordered by me not to go out of the camp gate, how could it be possible to leak the news......"

Bernardo asked, confused.

"But the Great Sacrifice of Life had already approached Lord Malfurion yesterday and asked about it, and Lord Malfurion was disgraced! Although the two brothers who died were our soldiers, they were also faithful believers in His Majesty Tyrande, and we all believe in the great Tyrande. So, the High Sacrifice of Life had good reason to question the matter - but how did he know that? ”

The captain said angrily.

……

"Impossible......"

Bernardo stammered.

The captain sighed faintly, "Bernaldo, I have always trusted your abilities. In short, this leak may not have anything to do with you. After all, there are a lot of people, and the actions of your squadron and the fact that we are missing two people, if someone pays attention, they will always understand, and I don't blame you. ”

"But the discovery of the murderer is really urgent—the High Priest was furious yesterday and ordered Commander Malfurion to either prove that it was not the Rangers, or ......"

……

"The Goddess of Nature Cult has bullied the head with that fictitious murder case, and we were obviously killed by them in revenge this time, but we can only swallow our anger to find the murderer. Therefore, His Excellency the High Priest was already very dissatisfied, and he ordered us to find the real culprit within three days. Take decisive action and fight back against all this! ”

"You know the situation in the country, the Goddess of Nature Cult is becoming more and more aggressive, the barbarians are here again at this time, trying to take away our life, and the church is also anxious about these things - if we continue to be weak, I am afraid that the brilliance of the goddess of life will no longer be able to bloom on this land of life, do you understand?"

He looked at Bernardo in a loud voice. His expression was full of solemnity.

……

"But Captain, I always thought it wasn't the rangers who did it—Lord Cenarius would be so stupid? Let the rangers carry out such bloody revenge for a murder that we didn't do? This is not in the style of the Lord, and the Lord's control over the Ranger cannot be so weak. ”

"This looks more like a conspiracy to fear that the world will not be chaotic."

Bernardo bit his lower lip. He said.

"But we need proof, and all the evidence now points to the Ranger!"

The captain said angrily.

……

"You've examined the bodies of those two brothers, and it's true that an arrow pierces the throat, and it's indeed an archery skill that only rangers can master—for someone else. Can you pierce a great druid in the deep darkness of the night, far away? This kind of archery is even unheard of! ”

"Even if we look at everyone with suspicion: humans are using their weird magical guns. They never use bows and arrows, and they are thousands of miles away from us. The barbarians only love hand-to-hand combat, and there has never been any archery master, let alone such a clever night archery. And in our country, only such an outstanding archery master will appear among the rangers! ”

"And the arrow that was left behind at the scene is the standard armor-piercing arrow of the rangers, but it has undergone a series of disguised changes - but it is even more to cover it up! We just can't find any definite evidence, but all of this points to the Ranger Legion! Damn the Ranger Legion! ”

He said angrily.

……

"But I always felt ...... Everything was too coincidental...... You see, it started with the Rangers missing two people, and it looks like it was our men who did it - we've searched the entire Legion to make sure it wasn't ours. Then, all of a sudden, we were missing both of us, and it looked like the rangers had done it. What a coincidence......"

Bernardo muttered.

"It's a coincidence, but it's also logical! The rangers have enough motivation to carry out this murder, and all kinds of phenomena show that they are the only ones who have the corresponding ability to complete this shameless murder! ”

"Anyway, Master Malfurion has given us permission, and if we can't find any evidence in three days—as long as we can't find evidence that it wasn't the Rangers, then whatever we get, we're going to fight back against the despicable Rangers! The upper echelons of the church are already furious, and if we let the Cult of Nature go on so rampantly, and swallow our anger any longer, we will have no place to stand! ”

The captain is categorical.

……

"But...... This is very likely to cause the two major armies and two major sects in our country to fall into a frenzied infighting, and it will even make our own people in the country beat their own people, and the blood will flow—"

Bernardo screamed, but was interrupted by the captain's angry voice: "But we have been forced to retreat!" In the past few hundred years, the Goddess of Nature Cult has been rapidly expanding by the support of the previous kings, oppressing us everywhere, we don't know why the first kings did this, but limited to the respect for the royal power, we have swallowed our anger! ”

"But we are now discovering that forbearance only fuels their arrogance - and if they frame us and kill our people for no reason, we will swallow our anger! What kind of believers are we?! The glory of His Majesty Tyrande has been trampled by them! ”

Bernardo looked at the captain's furious expression, and he stopped talking.

"Okay. I understand. ”

Eventually, after a few snorts, he nodded with a heavy face.

～～～～～～～～～

In the dim dark room, the faint smell of blood lingered.

Bernaldo looked at the corpses of the two druids who had been kept dead by the elves with the secret method of life.

They seemed to be in the middle of a shock, and their faces were full of shock. In their throats, a white feather arrow was stuck deep in their throats. They look young and in their prime, they are devout followers of the goddess of life, the pillars and pride of two happy families.

But they. but died in a despicable murder where the murderer could not even be found.

Bernaldo's expression trembled violently.

……

For a long time, he took a deep breath.

"He-Man, are you sure the rangers did it?"

He turned to a young druid who looked like a squad leader.

"Yes, sir."

The young druid's youthful face, known as He-Man, was full of anger: "As you know, my family is a family of fast hunters, and they are especially good at tracking down the culprits through clues. I had the privilege of being selected by my great druid legion and was my father's right-hand man.

"It's definitely a ranger's doing. You look at the strength, this is the angle of the throat, except for the armor-piercing arrow plus the ranger archery. No one in this world can do that! ”

The young druid pointed to the wounds on the bodies of the two druids for Bernardo, and said with an angry face on his face.

……

"Probably...... Was someone else framing him? ”

Bernaldo's face trembled, and he asked as he took another deep breath.

"My lord, this can't be!"

Seaman had already retorted angrily.

"Someone has to be planted to make a false accusation, right? Let's start with the most outrageous. ”

"Barbarians regard strength as their life. They never disdained the use of bows and arrows, which could hurt people with hidden arrows. Do you know that for more than a thousand years, have we ever seen a barbarian use a bow and arrow? They have no tradition of using bows and arrows at all, and even who uses them. would be despised - in such a situation, they could not have possessed such a masterful archery skill. ”

……

"And even more outrageous humans? Hmph, they also have power. But it's more about relying on those mysterious magic guns, otherwise we could have beaten ten of them alone. I have to admit that although their magic guns are not as powerful as our bows and arrows, they are extremely easy to master. But because of this, neither the weak nor the strong of human beings have the habit of using bows and arrows. ”

"So, this could only have been done by our own people - but in our own clan, apart from the high-level military magic archery of the Ranger Legion, which has extremely high magic energy infusion techniques and speed skills, who can stab two of our warriors through the throat before they even let out a single scream?"

He-Man said angrily, and then his expression hesitated: "But, my lord, I also found a suspicion just now......

He hesitated.

……

"What?"

Bernardo looked at it for a moment.

"It's not like the power of stars. You know, arrows have a flying process, and they will fly slower and slower. But you see, both arrows are straight to the cervical vertebrae - at least the power of the earth. ”

What is even more suspicious is that the expressions on the faces of the two brothers before they were killed testify to this - they only have time to make shocked expressions. In this way, this is simply the speed that can only be caused by the magical power above the earth. ”

"But the rangers ...... Arrange for a big land to snipe two little druids - the earth is already a captain-level figure, and it is easy to be exposed, not to mention, it seems redundant...... Even if they want to take a bloody revenge, wouldn't it be more than enough to choose a star rating that is hidden and difficult to trace? ”

Seaman hesitated as he pointed to the arrows that pierced the necks of the two druids.

……

"And what else have you discovered?"

Bernardo asked with surprise on his face.

"No, after all, it's just a wound, and I can see so much because of my family's deep roots. My lord, I only guessed the identity of the murderer and the situation at the time based on the wounds, and it is impossible to see it as if I had seen it in person. ”

"So, I'm just a little skeptical - but at least all the clues we've found so far do point to the rangers."

Seaman shook his head, he said helplessly.

……

"Guess from the wound...... It's like seeing ...... in person."

Bernardo muttered inexplicably.

He jerked down at his arm.

As far as the eye could see, several circles of white gauze were surrounding his arms. (To be continued......)
