The Amber Sword: Act 76 Turning Enemies into Friends
Sure enough, as Brando expected, Jean Count and his army entered this area one night ahead of time. No meteors and flames burning in the sky were seen at all, and there was no response from divine artifact resonance. What he saw was not different from what Brando and Nemesis saw last night, only the Xinghe lingering in mid-air and the starry winter night sky.
Why is this Count left alone here, as if everything is true, Orkens Count, Moore family, Walker or Cooper family, after all, the Kirrlutz nobles gathered here obviously sees divine artifact fall immediately reflects it. Compared with divine artifact, what is a Aouine's Lord Count? Therefore, immediately rushed to the north, hoping to be the first to reach the place where the meteor fell. Even if they could not take divine artifact as their own, they were the first to discover it to the existence -- or Holy Cathedral of Fire. , Then they and the family behind them will share this unimaginable glory, even if it is a step into the sky, it may not be impossible.
The inner court Knight, which belongs to the royal family, is no exception. As a monitor of Floating Cloud Hills, it is impossible for them to turn a blind eye to such a big thing. In fact, Rogers knows the weight of divine artifact, so he brings On all the inner court Knight in Silat Manor, beware of those noble doing irrational things.
But the problem is --
Jean Count didn't see it, he didn't know what was happening in the Vargus and Forestleaf Highway areas less than twenty miles away. He happened to be spying the battlefield with his men that night and occupying favorable terrain. So what happened after one night can be explained.
Rogers's face is a bit ugly. He can be sure that the sights of last night should be clearly visible at least a hundred miles away, not to mention the hilly areas close to Forestleaf Highway and Vargus.
"could it be that," Female Knight seems to have responded: "... is this a trap under Gorgon Ravine?"
Large fantasy.
Rogers first thought of this term, but when he and Fred looked back at the dark-haired youngster, the latter shook his head with certainty: "That's divine artifact resonance." youngster replied affirmatively, and then No longer speak, as if you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with him.
"Kui, this doesn't make sense." Trevor said, "Well, I know you are the best, but the problem is that you are still young, and you have to admit that there are many old undead guys in this world that are comparable to you. Much more powerful, in fact, planted in those hands is not a big deal. "
Before he finished speaking, I saw youngster glanced at him lightly, letting the latter half of his sentence get stuck in his throat, so he had to spread his hands and say, "Okay, when I didn't say it."
Trevor didn't fall, so I heard a soft laugh: "It's sad, stupid and unknowing person." The inner court Knight suddenly changed color, raises head looked in that direction, but found a short man Little girl looking up at her chin with contempt. Trevor was so angry that he was attacked by heart, but he thought of an empire Knight to scare an little girl and seemed to be degrading again. He had to chug out: "Forget it, don't care about the uneducated Huangmao girl."
But he never dreamed that the little girl snorted softly and replied disdainfully: "Shut up, guys without brains are not qualified to speak!"
"You ..."
“divine artifact Laws is upper rank Laws, Mana Laws is lower rank Laws, upper rank Laws can simulate the power of lower rank Laws, but this process is irreversible, this is also the basic principle of the Tiamat scripture, otherwise what is the difference between Mana resonance and divine artifact You do n’t even know this, it ’s really unworthy! ”Kiara shook her head as if disappointed. The young lady of the Sifah family had a young voice, but she said it right, giving a very weird contrast. sense. But at Trevor, it sounded like a slap on the left and a right slap on his face, and his face was swollen. -- Although he didn't understand most of the time. Finally, the little lady summed it up crisply: "Apologize to your companions, because you insulted your knowledge. If I have the slightest sense of shame, I choose to hit and die on the Red Pine tree over there."
"Do you know why?" she snorted softly: "Because the Red Pine tree was called the foolish tree by mountain people, this title was prepared for your lord thousands of years later."
Trevor was stunned, but even his companions behind him couldn't help laughing, if Aouinian provoked, they would naturally maintain one's own companions. But the question is just a child, who cares about a little girl? The black-haired youngster couldn't help but look at Kiara more, Female Knight patted the shoulder of the taller companion very sympathetically: "Trevor, who said that he could graduate as long as he passed the Swordsmanship class?"
Inner court Knight has a bitter face and regrets that his intestines are going to be green. Of course, he regrets not what he said at the beginning, but he shouldn't provoke this sharp young lady.
Brando knows the terribleness of the sister Eldest Prince. He also later learned that the other's mentor is Shazian, that guy is an old friend of Thurman, the leader of Aouine ancient word in this era, a pivotal plot NPC in the Tablet War era. He has seen the kind-hearted old man, but he has not seen Kiara, and he does not know how the other party spoils the genius girl of the Sifah family. He has cultivated a small Sorceress character alive for her.
He is also unwilling to provoke Kiara, because he understands that the other party is still thinking about one's own's Buga people's knowledge, so he breaks the topic: "Mr. Rogers, ask you a question, before divine artifact resonance happens, Vargus, Forestleaf Highway and even Has anything unusual happened with Hemlock Town? "
Rogers glanced at Brando, instinctively felt that the other party seemed to intentionally not mention the meteor fall, but he quickly left this vague premonition behind, and thought carefully and replied: "divine artifact resonance happened at nine o'clock Since then, it has been very calm until then. Most of nobles did not leave the one's own station, except for Jean Count departing from Forestleaf Highway in advance and heading to this place. "He glanced at Brando's and continued to answer:" In fact until our eyeliner is in the evening The last time I passed the message, it should be normal. "
"Have you ever contacted your eyeliner since then? Should you use Magic to contact you?" Brando knows that these inner court Knight are mainly responsible, but they should also have a lot of outside informants.
"Lord Count, the Magic messenger already in the entire area was artificially disturbed by spell," Rogers replied.
Brando was a moment's sigh, then suddenly, the dimension anchors and suppression spell were not uncommon in Vaunde. The underground army of Gorgon Ravine obviously also has the ability to cover these regions spell -- lair Thane and blind priest are excellent spellcaster. He wanted to ask something more, but saw that Female Knight was still talking, but whispered something to Rogers, the latter nodded, and she courageously replied: "Lord Count, there is one more thing."
"Speak now."
"Before the occurrence of divine artifact resonance, a very long a period of time Vargus region can hear very harsh trembling sounds, and that sound should be uploaded from the clouds." Female Knight replied.
Brando patted his forehead. He hadn't heard the sound at all. He thought for a moment and asked, "Does that sound sound like the sound of a fleet moving through the clouds?"
The NCO from the province of Yanilas heard this sentence keenly raises head, and looked at Brando with a curiosity. Air Ship is still a new weapon in this era. Few people are familiar with it. But Female Knight shook his head: "The sound sounds more like thunder and rumbling."
Brando exchanged a wink with Nemesis again, and then continued to ask: "You met Troglodyte in the middle, right? When is that?"
"Dawn," Rogers replied affirmatively.
Brando groaned a bit: "Okay, let's assume that this is all a conspiracy of Gorgon Ravine people, Mr. Rogers, do you know any natural entrances to the underground in this area?"
"I know there is one near Hemlock Town." The taller Knight replied: "I once wanted to go into the expedition, and it was terribly large, but I did n’t go deep enough."
"Is it very dark inside, Mr. Knight?" A crunchy voice asked, looking at the inner court Knight, and found that another little loli was asking himself, he quickly closed his mouth did not say a word, as if the little Luo from Aouine Li is a demon with horns on her head.
It is natural to talk to him about Archduke of Golan-Elsen, but this little loli didn't expect that Trevor rushed to look at her as soon as she saw her mouth, and did not give her a glaring glance, which scared the little girl. weep.
"There is also a place near Forestleaf Highway." Rogers also answered.
Brando thought for a while, which is almost consistent with his memory. He looked at Nemesis again, and the latter nodded. "That is to say, when you meet Troglodyte, the time from the Gorgon Ravine attack will not be more than an hour forward." He thought for a moment, replied, and then turned to the Medissa on the side and said, "Bring our map. . "
Medissa smiled and nodded.
Maybe I noticed the confused eyes of Rogers, Brando just explained: "Subterranean races is gloomy and deceitful, especially Minotaur and Harpy. They rarely fight unprepared wars. They must be clear before launching a raid. With your deployment, apart from Jean Count, we have not found any traces of other noble troops, which is very telling. Your stronghold at Silat Manor is not a secret, they must have been following you early in the morning, from the underground exit of Forestleaf Highway Near the farm where you met them, at the speed of Troglodyte, it is almost an hour's journey. "
Rogers and the others is the inner court Knight, and their quest / mission is to monitor the movement of local noble instead of responsible for defense, so it is not surprising that they do not understand these things, so Brando only explained patiently. If it is the Knight of the Swordbreaker Knight group, you ca n’t even see these here Brando will most likely think this guy is a scammer.
"What should we do now, Lord Count?" After listening to Brando's analysis, Rogers seemed to have some confidence in the Aouine's Lord Count, so he asked.
Brando did not answer him directly, but waited until Medissa brought the map. Rogers and the others could understand the map, but he was obscured by how to infer the movement of an army. Most of the tactical knowledge of Brando's is inherited from the original memory of this soul. The militia team will teach some superficial map knowledge. He has been a player adventure group and Commander of Mercenary Company, has presided over local defense, and barely understood some half-claw military. Knowledge, coupled with this life he can be regarded as large and small command several battles, barely able to determine the offensive intention of Gorgon Ravine.
But the most professional of all is obviously Nemesis. This Female Knight is an Royal Knight Academy graduate student, a standard academic. She glanced at the map and said to Brando: "Floating Cloud Hill is closest to Rocerch-Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses. Too far, there are not only these two entrances to the underground world from here to the south. If they want to assault the fortress group from behind, there is no need to enter the surface world from this place. "
"That is to say, if Gorgon Ravine is indeed an alliance of already and Torquine, this branch in front of us is most likely not the main force army?" Kiara asked at this time.
"This is a harassment of army," Brando said while looking at the map, "their goal is to prevent the buildup of the Imperial Army in the hinterland behind the fortress group."
His eyes crossed Hemlock Town and Vargus and Forestleaf Highway: "To achieve this, they must attack a few of the most critical points."
He and Nemesis's eyes fell on a town at the same time.
Yasa.
Anzeluta is to the north, between the little cities and towns between the mountains. This is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. This city is called White City of Kirrlutz. Compared with White City of Faanzan, except that both cities use the same white rock fortified walls, the other common point is an important land transportation hub, Yasa It is the terminus of the southern end of Evergreen Aisle. This walkway connects the central region of the empire. It is Floral Leaf Shire to the north, Four Borders Plain to the east, and plains to the north of -- Violet Valley to the west of the empire's belly. With the entire Empire South, the two battles from Rocerch to Anzeluta and then to Four Borders Plain collapsed.
Rogers Although some people could n’t understand the strategic intentions of the Gorgon Ravine army, they still understood the importance of Yasa. Seeing that the eyes of Brando and Nemesis fell on the map, the faces of several empires Knight were all white. It is clear that once the rats from the ground succeed, what the empire will face.
But Brando's heart is not so tense. At first, it's not about himself. Secondly, he understands that the situation is not that bad. The eagle above the Kirrlutz highland is an eagle after all. How could it be a complete attack due to a sneak attack? failure. The geographical location of Yasa is so important. It has a strong place legion in its four directions, not to mention the imperial navy stationed west of Rocerch. Gorgon Ravine harassed army. If they can capture Yasa, they are not harassing army It's the main force.
The intention of this army is obviously to attract the attention of legion in these places, so that they do n’t have time to pump make a move to rescue Rocerch -- Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses. If this 'rat' really achieves its goal, even if it only reaches near Yasa, it is basically announced The empire's defense line at Anzeluta is over. Just such a blow is absolutely unacceptable to the empire.
Brando's's eyes moved back again and fell to the north of Vargus and Forestleaf Highway.
"Hemlock Town, crossing Vargus and Forestleaf Highway will not be their targets, they should have crossed these places earlier today," Nemesis replied.
Brando nodded in agreement with this, and the results of the investigation also proved this judgment. He stared at the map silently, but several Kirrlutz inner court Knight seemed a little anxious, as if they were one step slower, the empire would soon In a state of despair, yes. Brando seemed to notice the obvious anxiety of the other party. He deliberately looked at them. Rogers finally couldn't help but say: "Lord Count, I don't know if what you said before is true or false?"
"What?" Brando asked, pretending to be ignorant.
Kiara watched the conversation between the two again with interest.
Rogers licked his lips before answering: "Sir, you say there is a more perfect idea. If we can hinder the pace of these uninvited guests, maybe the situation in the southern part of the Empire will not be as bad as imagined. "
Brando seems to remember this sentence, he nodded: "My army is here. Assuming that the harassment army by Gorgon Ravine people is a whole legion, do you think we can beat them?"
Rogers thought about it and shook his head.
"Suppose that all of us here are fighting hard and paying the price of everyone at the cost of their lives, which can delay the pace of Gorgon Ravine people. Do you think we might do that?" Brando asked again.
The look of hesitation appeared on the Rogers face, and then he shook his head a bit heavy: "Lord Count, although you are an ally of the empire, the empire has no right to ask you to make such a sacrifice."
Brando looked at this guy quite surprised, thinking that this guy even has a bit of chivalry, but I don't know if I was forced to say so. He shook his head and replied: "Suppose I tell you, I may have a way to do the things I said above, do you believe it?"
Rogers originally had no hope at already. His only hope now is to be able to follow the Lord Count and break out to his Majesty in the shortest possible time. However, he could n’t help but hear about Brando Then I ca n’t believe raises head and asked, "... Lord Count, what do you say?"
"Why, what I said is hard to understand?" Brando answered with the original sentence.
"No, --"
What else does Rogers want to say, but Brando interrupts him: "This is not a problem or not. --, I have only one request, that is, to obey my order, and you also understand that it is impossible for us as people to shake Gorgon Ravine Army, so I have to get your help. Of course, if you are not willing and feel unwilling to accept a command of Aouinian, then we choose the first option. "
Rogers and his companions glanced at each other. The inner court Knight nodded immediately: "I see, Lord Count, what do you want us to do?"
Brando glanced over Red Pine Forest.
"It's very simple. You go to persuade Jean Count to join us first. There are more than a thousand people under him. We can't let them disband right?"
