The Amber Sword: Scenario 74 Overlap of the Millennium iv

"There is an ancient Dwarf King country under the Anzeluta mountains. They are a branch of Broken Sword Mountain Range. When the kingdom dug down the tunnel, it accidentally dug through the large hive. After that, the underground was filled with monster, and the kingdom subsequently perished. , The remaining dwarves also migrated westward, and the map of the underground kingdom was also lost. Now the dark maze is perilous. To pass through it, you need to take unimaginable risks. Even if you ignore these difficulties, the dwarves want to start from A tunnel digging under the hard rock formation to connect these lost tunnels is not something that can be done in a month or two, "Nemesis replied.

After Nemesis's reminder, Brando also remembered that there was such a thing. After all, he was not familiar with Kirrlutz and Aouine, so he asked this question.

After listening to the weird incident that occurred on Jean Count, his first suspect was that these nobles were playing with a conspiracy, but then thought of what trick was played by the Torquine Leonin, bypassing Rocerch -- Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses and attacked like history Empire, this was a premonition that had been lurking in his heart, but now after discussion, it was found that there was no possibility, and the idea that had finally become clearer was back to chaos. He had to stop and wait for further's intelligence.

Twenty minutes later, the first batch of Gargoyle headed for Vargus came back slowly. Medissa found him with the developed crystal removed from Gargoyle, and replied endlessly: "Master ..."

"What's wrong?"

Medissa shook his head slightly. Unlike Ciel's, which is frivolous, this Silver Elf Little Princess never talks, packs tickets, and only hands the development crystal to Brando: "Let ’s go see it for yourself."

Brando took the development of crystal --. This Recording Crystal is not uncommon in Vaunde, but it is not ordinary. It can record several audio images for three to five minutes and save them for years to decades. Buga people dare to take them Placed on each Gargoyle, it is enough to prove that Wizard's rich -- he injected Mana into it, and crystal emitted a gleam of light, and then showed the picture seen from Gargoyle flying high in the sky. In the picture, the forest looks like a thick carpet There are some shades of land on the edge, which are farmland, fields with red roofs dotted with stars, barns, windmills or other buildings.

No one speaks, Nemesis and Brando have recognized this is the countryside of Vargus, an imperial rural scenery, but then they saw a weird scene, Gargoyle flew over the town, the red roof began to become dense. Several roads pass through the bustling bazaar like a vein, but there is no pedestrian in the street in Nuo Da, and no flying birds can be seen on the dense tree line, like a ghost town. Then they found strange things on the square of Vargus. It seemed like scattered gravel scattered in between. Brando distinguished them carefully and realized that they were all human or similar creature, but they stood motionless in the square. Like a stone statue.

"What's going on?" Ciel said suddenly: "A sudden monster attack was triggered near could it be that Vargus, and the entire area was attacked by Deathgaze Wyvern or Basilisk?"

Brando shook his head, Deathgaze Wyvern is not a gregarious creature, and most of them act alone outside the period of **. Basilisk is creature with a strong territorial concept. It will not rush into the human world. Neither of these two monster is possible The only possibility of turning a human town into a ghost town is that it is an organized attack. He had a candidate for already in his heart. He looked back at Nemesis and saw it from the other side's dark eyes. Same guess.

"The people behind the snake, the cursed forever."

"Medusa." Ciel whispered: "They are not underground of Gorgon Ravine, how can they easily come to the surface?"

The inhabitants of the underground do not easily go to the surface world. They must pass Gorgon Ravine through the large honeycomb above the 'dome', and then cross the 'shallow surface' underground cavity area and the groundwater infiltration channel. This is a long period of time. And full of dangerous journeys. Tajiv and its tribe once walked this path. In the migration, countless Troglodyte died on the road, died of disappearance, monster attack and the most terrible disease and hunger, but it turns out that if necessary, they Still dare to make this attempt, this is the unique toughness of Subterranean races.

"I remember," Brando groaned: "The residents of Gorgon Ravine are also worshipping the goddess of the earth, right --"

"It's impossible!" Ciel replied with a little surprise: "The residents of Underground believe in the goddess above, and the residents of the ground believe in the goddess below. Although the beliefs of the two are homologous, But already was a thousand years ago. After Great Schism, the dwarves on the surface and Leonin no longer communicate with the dwarves and other peoples underground. How can they come together, let alone contact in such a short time? ? "

Before the era of Great Schism, the surface and underground belief was a goddess, but since War of the Holy Saints, because of various problems such as loss of faith, today's Holy Cathedral of Earth is no longer the old one, and even the original Holy Cathedral of Earth three relic in Broken Sword Mountain Range Also one by one disappeared. Since then, many sect who originally believed in the goddess of the earth have been arguing ever since. The two largest -- Torquine and Gorgon Ravine have long since parted ways, and it has been over 1,000 years since then.

Brando certainly knows this, but at the moment he has a more gloomy thought in his mind: what exactly is Leonins waiting on the side of Rocerch -- Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses?

He looked at Nemesis, Female Knight frowned, and nodded slightly to him.

"How confident are you?" he asked purposefully.

"If the attacker is indeed from Gorgon Ravine, then the odd behavior of Leonin is probably related to it." Female Knight replied calmly.

Everyone is silent, calculating in their hearts if the underground residents of Torquine's Goldmane Leonin combined with Gorgon Ravine launch a pinch on Rocerch -- Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses, will this line of defense be able to withstand. "Rocerch -- Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses is in danger." Even Ciel was startled when he said this. Although he was self-aware and knowledgeable, his knowledge was silent, and the strength of the empire was detailed data in his eyes. Analysis, analysis and rational thinking are like the mighty Kirrlutz golden eagle woven from a feather to a feather, the slightest, but the sharp claws and beaks let you understand how powerful it is.

Rocerch -- Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses is the long-standing defense line of the Empire. It is between high mountain. The frost and snow in the highlands form its solidity. The rugged mountain rocks are its blades and blades. The harsh weather throughout the year tells its ruthlessness and apathy. That is an insurmountable sound of nature. Even if Leonin can capture one or two of the fortresses, it is a frivolous joke in anyone's mind to say that it will break the entire line of defense.

But this sentence fell into the ears of Brando Nemesis but it seemed extraordinarily calm. This was something they had expected. The first and second shocks were completely different. They have witnessed that in history. An indefensible line of defense was captured, so it now appears calm. "Although it is only a speculation, we have to plan for the worst. Assuming everything is true, where is the Gorgon Ravine army and how big is it? We must re-evaluate the loss of Rocerch -- Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses. The key is that the The Gorgon Ravine army that threatens to destroy the Orkens Count army with -- at hand. Now whether already knows our existence, we must first confirm the danger of the surrounding guards. "Brando thought for a moment and replied.

Nemesis glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

Ciel also took a look at one's own Lord Thane in surprise: "Martha above, Lord Thane, I almost always thought that you also graduated from Royal Knight Academy. These are the knowledge of mercenaries, when have you learned this from Jutta? >

This horse fart is just right, and Brando couldn't help but replied a little funny: "You don't know that there is more."

"That is, otherwise why are you Lord Thane, and I am just a small follower." Ciel smiled slightly, teasing indifferently.

Medissa also laughed aside, and then asked: "Lord Thane, what should we do next?"

"Call other people first. This is a big deal. Let them know first."

"Otherwise the Duke Young Lady will say you don't respect them anymore." Medissa replied with a smile: "Arbitrary, just for your own use."

"Yeah, I'm annoying her." Brando sighed and replied pretendingly.

Little Princess couldn't help giggling.

...

"Get out of here, **** shit!"

Rogers roared with a sword and stabbed the Troglodyte's chest, then lifted his leather boots and kicked it down the stairs, but he couldn't pull out the one's own sword because of too much force. , Can only watch it roll with the disgusting creature under the dark corridor. But in an instant, he saw a flash of light or two flashing in the darkness, and he drew his head down, banged twice, and two spears already were inserted into the door frame above his head. His tail was still trembling slightly, he was startled, he couldn't help but grab the one's own sword, hurried retreat, closed the door, and dragged the cabinet and bed next to him to reach the door of the house.

A moment later, the sound of two heavy objects colliding from the door was followed by a scream of squeak.

Rogers is only sighed in relief. He turned around with blood stains, and looked at the empty room with a smile and four people. Among the twelve people, there are only a few of them now. Since the Nederhoven era, the Kirrlutz royal family has installed agents and eyes and ears throughout the empire, and they are the inner court Knight stationed in Silat Manor. Their quest / mission is not involved in local defense. At present these monsters simply do not know where to come and entangle them Yes, there are so many other parties that they suffered heavy losses overnight and had to flee into this farm to protect themselves.

But in fact, everyone remaining understands that the so-called self-protection will not last long.

A tall curly man was leaving the window. He lowered the curtains. The light in the room dimmed immediately, then shrugged to the others and said, "Good guy, they already surrounded the outside, it seems to be intended for us It looks good, Rogers, you killed a lot of these ghosts, I do n’t think they are going to let you go. Do you have any last words, maybe I ’m lucky that I did n’t die, I can help you engraving the epitaph with -- ”

"Master Rogers, Xikunta already will not work." A corner of the room, holding a **** companion Female Knight raises head, said sadly, the Knight in her arms, there was a deep visible bone on her chest. Mouth, but this is not a fatal injury. The fatal injury is on the back of his head. Female Knight is holding a hand there, and blood is running down her gauntlet like a stream.

"Pray for him, Narsha." Rogers sighed.

The person in the only one who did not speak in the room was an youngster wearing robe. He was concentrating on putting the parchment in his hands into the fire in the middle of the room, lowering his head, and the dark eyes only reflected the bright flame. As if this matter was an extremely sacred work for him.

Rogers glanced at this youngster, shook his head, and asked the others: "What is that, do you see clearly?"

"Have you heard of it, it seems to be a meteor --. Hey, but unfortunately I didn't have time to make a wish," the tall man continued. "But we encountered these Troglodytes halfway. I suspect this. Is there any connection between them? This ghost doesn't usually come to the surface. "

Rogers was silent for a long while before saying with certainty: "I don't think this matter is so simple, we have to find a way to inform Your Majesty."

Female Knight silently whispered a solace prayer for one's own companions, and youngster who burned the file, raises head took a look at the others, and replied concisely, "It can't be done."

"Can't do it?" Rogers stared at this companion puzzledly. Kui is the most outstanding wizard among them. No matter what the circumstances, he can always pass the Magic message.

youngster didn't say anything, just stretched out five fingers, everyone saw a flash of flame flash between his fingertips, but it was fleeting, leaving a few light golden red lines, and then disappeared into the air. in.

"What's the matter?" Tall man couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Your trick has failed? Is this impossible? Kui, you are the best."

youngster glanced at them and replied, "Magic is out of order."

"What do you mean." Rogers frowned.

"Something is interfering with Laws."

"What is it?"

"More powerful spell, divine artifact, or some unknown existence," the boy replied.

Rogers's face became a little dignified: "If all coincidences come together, then it is likely that they are not coincidences, Kui, Narsha, Trevor, I think we may have the worst case."

"Is there anything worse than it is now?" the tall man asked.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a heavy impact from the door, and then kǎ cā made a crisp sound, and already cracked on the wooden door. He stared blankly at that direction, while others looked at him angrily, and the latter could only helplessly spread his hands: "Well, I'm jinx, when I didn't say!"

Rogers removed the sword from the severely injured Knight, and then said to others, "We have to try to break through, Your Majesty is still waiting for our news."

Speaking, he pulled out his long sword.

...

The Brando's order was issued one by one, and the perimeter of the perimeter mission was expanded first. Gargoyle was flying in the sky at all times. Beware of the army that may be existence and Gorgon Ravine. However, the open hills and forest areas around the mission were no different. Brando and further expanded the search range and sent Vargus and Forestleaf Highway to young sentry cavalry members belonging to White Lion Guards. His efforts were not wasted, and soon these The sentry cavalry had really valuable information on exploration.

The cavalrymen avoided the road and entered the Vargus and Forestleaf Highway areas along the densely covered country road in the Floating Cloud Hill area. They did not hit any Gorgon Ravine troops along the way, but passed by near a village named Tuya near Vargus. But just happened to meet a small team of Troglodyte in a siege near the siege. The Captain of the sentry cavalry was a NCO student graduated from Royal Knight Academy. He immediately determined that there might be survivors in the manor, so he immediately led his men to kill those Troglodytes. People rescued.

Brando soon met these people.

That was a team of four men, three men and one woman. They were more or less embarrassed when they were brought before the Brando by the sentry cavalry. -- These people were dressed like the children of the most common country gentleman in the empire, Wearing thick wool coats, hats with feathers, and deerskin boots, but the look on their faces was very determined. Although they were stained with blood and dirt, two of them were not badly injured, but It didn't look a little scared or confused, but looked a little tired. Next, Brando noticed that these people were wearing long swords. Although the swords were of different styles and varied, they held their swords in a very standard posture, not like the all show of the gentry noble. Not like the soldier of the Empire, but rather the Knight of the inner court.

Brando groaned a little, and he understood the identity of these people. He couldn't help thinking that the one's own sentry cavalry had good luck, and even brought them back a few secret agents of the Kirrlutz royal family, but then he thought about it again. With some relief, only these extraordinary martial arts inner court Knights are more likely to survive this sudden attack and support them to this day.

While Brando was looking at these inner court Knights, Rogers was also looking at this Lord Count. Seriously, he did n’t know the other party --. On the contrary, he knew the other party ’s identity and origin, including even from Since the Black Sword Barrier until the opponent's arrival here, he knew everything that happened during the period. In fact, the news of the Aouine envoy arrived here. Correct sealed the envelope with emblem with the seal of seven flames, sealed it with Silat Manor, and delivered it to the White Rose Garden.

In the previous battle, he originally thought that he would die, but he did not expect that at the last moment, he was rescued by these Kirrlutzian scout cavalry. He first saw those cavalry in strange costumes and knew the identity of the opponent, but before he actually saw Brando, he had only heard of the Lord Count in rumors. What he did not expect was that the Aouinian ambassador Commander was so young, so young that he would inevitably have some doubts. Aouinian was so relieved to let such a youngster serve as the Commander of the mission?

Suddenly he understood some of the troubles caused by the Lord Count.

With this in mind, Rogers and one's own colleagues gave a slight bow to Brando. The etiquette of Knight has nothing to do with respect or inferiority, but only to thank Aouinian for their help.
