Tiana pressed her palm on the table, and the light on the table suddenly distorted, slowly revealing a three-dimensional virtual image under the control of her palm. Those present can see at a glance that this is a topographical map of the area around Sword Castle. The Fort of Swords area is a mountainous valley on both sides, and the city of Fort Swords is located in the narrowest part of the valley in the middle of the valley.

The mountains on either side stretch from the brown soil hills, and it is right here as the focus. Back then, the Sword Saint of the North Wind established his own castle here, and he was also prepared to prevent the resurgence of the demon army. However, a thousand years later, the only role of this pass is to prevent robbers from moving south. If the Isttalon exiles wanted to reach Churkin's fiefdom, they had to pass through the vicinity of the city. But now the roads and farmland near the city have all been blocked by the refugees who have gathered.

It is now certain that behind these seemingly rabble refugees lies a large and ambitious mysterious organization that apparently shows no goodwill towards the Isttalens. Judging by their approach, it doesn't seem like the road ahead will be easy.

Tiana quickly shook her fingers and weaved a colorful figure model and placed it on the topographic map, where you can see a warrior with a sword standing at the head of the sword castle, and there are countless refugee camps scattered on all sides of the city, and in the middle of these gray refugee camps, there are black markings symbolizing the masonry brotherhood, and a black magician and black warrior stand at each end of the castle perimeter.

On the road extending north from the Sword Castle, a group of blue character models appeared, although the face was not clear, but the blue area was also not small, which represented the power of the exile team. And in the area around Sword Keep, there are many red spots scattered like sesame seeds, which represent the small noble manor owners like Baron Farah, although they do not seem to be a threat, but together they are a force to be reckoned with. After the events of last night, both El and Tiana noticed the presence of these little people.

"Combined with the information we have so far," Tiana drew a circle in mid-air with her finger, and pieces of different colors landed in the area controlled by each party.

"The strength of the Sword Castle, the highest known combat power is the eldest lady, judging from the intelligence of Mr. Baron and the observation of General El, this young lady should not have stepped into the golden gate yet, but at least it has surpassed the level of the silver rank, and having her stationed alone in the Sword Castle is enough to deter all bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods. In addition, the Sword Castle also has at least three to five silver-rank swordsmanship masters, among which the current head of the family, Michelo, has been confirmed to be critically ill, and the situation of the others is unknown, but it is a fact that everyone agrees that although the North Wind family is rich in swordsmanship, it has nothing to do in the military aspect. ”

"Indeed, the garrison in Sword Fort City is less than five hundred people. Baron Farah nodded.

"And the number of these refugees in front of us is more than 30,000, and there are a large number of members of the Masonry Brotherhood hidden in them, who have dispatched at least 300 troops in the bloodshed last night, and according to conservative estimates, they will probably have four to five times the number of armed forces at their disposal. Tiana shook her fingers, and several black chess pieces landed in the refugee camp: "According to the most pessimistic estimates, the 30,000 people in front of us may all be inseparable from them. ”

"We now need at least 1,000 regular soldiers to maintain order and security in the exile ranks, and at this rate, they would have to have an armed force of 5,000 to maintain the status quo, which is obviously impossible, so I also think that these refugees themselves are related to this organization. In terms of normal people's thinking, if I have the ability to organize a group of people to escape from the epidemic area, it must be my own relatives and friends first. When the time comes, if you have the resources to spare, you may want to consider your neighbors...... It's human nature. El pouted.

"The other part is the small manor lord represented by Mr. Baron, according to the information provided by Mr. Thomas, the North Wind family used to be very fond of giving land to outstanding swordsmen, so the small manor owners in this area have gathered over the years and are also a force to be reckoned with. Tiana controlled the red pawn to fall and said to Baron Farah: "Mr. Baron, as far as I know, after last night's tragedy, you later received three hundred manor guards. ”

"These poor people are homeless because of the crimes committed by those damned robbers, and it was General El who allowed me to take them in. Baron Farah said in trepidation.

"It's okay, it's not a problem. Tiana shook her head and said, "The problem is that it drew my attention to the fact that a small manor like you can raise an armed force of this magnitude at home, so it's no wonder that the Masonry Brotherhood has to plan carefully before making a move." Judging by what they meant last night, I'm afraid that they already had a plan of action, and it was only because of our arrival that they would make a plan. Since they have put the black cauldron on our heads, it shows that they are still afraid of the local lords. ”

The ethos of Sword Keep and Isttalon is slightly similar, but very different. Isttalon is a fierce people in the northern border, and the White Lion family started with the army, so all the people are soldiers, and they can catch a bunch of strong men from the street at will, and they are qualified soldiers with weapons. And the sword master who founded the Sword Castle took the sword as the name and advocated personal martial arts. The garrison of the Sword Fort itself is not large, and it can only serve the purpose of maintaining law and order in peacetime, and it is not even comparable to the private forces of the local lords. Because the location of the Sword Castle is very good, there is almost no real military threat around it, except for the bandits of the brown hills.

The methods of the North Wind family are simple to say, they devote all their energy to concentrating on cultivating swordsmanship masters. If there is any trouble, the master of the family will be directly dispatched, and several silver-rank swordsmanship masters will be able to decapitate any enemy army that comes to attack.

It is precisely because of this that the Beifeng family is also very lenient to these small manor owners when they divide the land, and they don't mind how many private soldiers they have at all, anyway, the armed forces of that level, no matter how much, can be solved with a sword.

Tiana's chess pieces have all fallen, and the situation of all the forces is shown on this map, except for the Exiles' own hole cards. Looking at this map alone, no one side has a particularly clear advantage, and it is clear that the situation in this region is deadlocked.

"No, there are a lot of things that don't make sense. Lolana said suddenly.

"You mean the motives of the Masonry Brotherhood?" asked Tiana, turning around.

"It's not just motivation, there's a lot of questions. Lolana looked at the three-dimensional map in front of her with a worried face, and said in a deep voice: "Those small details aside, we must now face three most important problems. One, why did they do this? Second, why did they stay here? Third, can we go over?"

The questions raised by Lolana at this time seem simple, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are too many questions and confusions hidden in them.

The motives of the Masonry Brotherhood are unknown, and no one in the room believes that they killed and set fire to the fire last night just for a small amount of money. Or in other words, they were all the same refugees, and why did they not grab food and gold at a time when everyone was not getting enough to eat? According to Tiana's reasoning, the plan of such a big move last night could never have been improvised, and even if it had not been for El's intervention, these little manor owners would have been wiped out.

However, no matter how unbelievable the result may be, it has become an established fact, and it is confirmed that the Masonry Brotherhood is in dire need of money rather than food. The question then arises from this: where exactly did they get their food supplies, and what was the use of plundering money?

The second question is immediately after, since the Masonry Brotherhood is not short of food, then there is no valid reason for them to gather outside the Sword Castle to beg for food. Judging from the fact that the young lady personally went out to visit the various manor owners, the Sword Castle should have reached a temporary agreement with the Masonry Brotherhood, and now it seems that there is also an ulterior motive in this agreement, so it can be seen that the real purpose of the Masonry Brotherhood may involve the Sword Castle, referring to the news that the current head of the North Wind family is critically ill, the water in this is simply bottomless.

The third remaining question, and one that is of most concern to all, is whether the Masonry Brotherhood will be able to make way for the Istaron exiles. Whatever their plans, they should have nothing to do with the purely passing Istaron exiles. Intellectually speaking, the most appropriate way to deal with it at this time is to make way for the exiles, so as not to cause trouble. However, what is lacking in this world is a sane person, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no neurotic whims to overestimate their appetite and have indifferent thoughts about this group of passers-by.

Truth be told, this kind of neurosis is too much, so neither El nor Tiana have hope for it.

"So far, they have no intention of contacting us, and that doesn't mean that it also shows their attitude. El moved the knuckles of his fingers and looked at Lorana, who usually chose to trust the judgment of the eldest lady at this time, because Rolana was gifted at speculating about people's hearts and deducing the truth.

"It's hard to say, we don't have enough information right now. For the first time, the expression on Lorana's face seemed a little solemn, if she had the answer in her mind, she would never throw these three questions out and waste everyone's brain cells, but until now she was also confused.

"Mr. Thomas, I wonder if you have a way to get in touch with the Masonry Brotherhood?" Seeing Lolana's hesitation, Tiana thought for a moment and turned to the golden hand and asked. Until now, the Masonry Brotherhood has been hidden among the refugee community, and even if they are tried to find them, there is no way to find them. However, Thomas, as a smuggler, must have some unique means in this regard.

"Please forgive my lady, I can only try my best. Thomas smiled wryly. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
