The Amber Sword

“What the hell is going on, Count Tonigle?” At the same time as Rogers' salute, Duke Vieiro's grand gold rushed over and saw Rogers et al., stopping at once, apparently recognizing the other party as a Cruz. Her eyes were filled with doubt, and she saw that these men, although wounded, did not appear to be prisoners of the Count. Brando did not involve the mission in the battle, so they waited for news later. I didn't expect Flo to come last, Miss Wild Pokémon didn't tell them if they had won or lost, just tell their lord to let them go.

Along the way, however, Owney had long noticed that there were no signs of fighting in the vicinity - she had not seen the Krutz army, nor had the nearby vigilante White Lion Guard looked like it had been fought.

Brando saw the other people behind the Duke's gold —— the merchant lady who blinked at him and expressed herself unimpeded, a reluctant face of Avram, Ike standing with Count Janilassou, the little Lori of the Goran-Elsons, and Chiara, who put her eyes on several Cruz hands on the handle of the sword, and Miss Enid, who was beside her, and finally Dilfrey, Magdal and Haruze.

The Baron, who had just arrived at the Mission, followed everyone, keeping an immediate distance and gazing at Brando with a vigilant eye.

Brando nodded at Flo, even though he knew exactly what the man was coming for, saw the embassy coming together, and the convoy was parked on the avenue not far below the hill, and to Euni's question, Brando looked to Rogers beside him: “Sir, you heard the lady's question, I'm sure you guessed it, we're the Ehruites' embassy; and as guests of the Empire, we'd like to know what happened, and I thought maybe you could tell us one or two? ”

Roger's gaze swept through these people, revealing a slight surprise: “My lord, we were suddenly attacked by these monsters, and we haven't figured out what's going on. ”

Brando laughed and said, "Are you local? ”

“Exactly," Rogers replied immediately, "I'm Rogers of the Vallen family, and this is Sir Fergus' son,” and he pointed to the curly tall fellow next to him, and then introduced the knight: “This is Sir Turner's daughter, a student of Mr. Locke's.” He finally introduced the young man in the robe.

Brando didn't listen to me, but he wasn't too busy uncovering it, he asked a few more questions about the area, and Rogers definitely answered them all. The Duke looked at the two men with a great deal of doubt and did not understand why Brando was interested in them. She thought they were from Count Jean's side, but did not think they were just descendants of local gentlemen.

After listening to Rogers' answer, Brando smiled, “You got it right, that's it. ”

Rogers wanted to say it again, he couldn't help but hear it, he didn't understand what it meant, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat.

Brando replied, "Since you are so familiar with this place, Mr. Rogers, I presume it must be the Cavaliers of the inner court stationed here, or should I call you Mr. or Madam Inspector? ”

Rogers' eyelids jumped and subconsciously placed his hands on the handle of the sword. Both men and women behind him did the same thing, except for the young man in the robe with dark hair and dark eyes. Rogers' hand just rested on the handle of the sword, but suddenly realized what it was and slowly let go, and he looked up and smiled bitterly at Brando: "Count, you have a good eye. Have you recognized us long ago? ”

“You're welcome,” replied Brando - these agents are undoubtedly the best gifts Martha has ever given him, and these are the most important ears and eyes of the Crouse in the area, and sometimes they know better than their local lords what everyone is doing in an area, let alone most of the brains of those who can be elected knights of the inner kingdom. At this time, if you want to find out what really happened to Floating Hill overnight, you can say no one is better suited than them - this time his guard cavalry's mission obviously couldn't have been more beautiful, he continued: “Mr. Rogers, since you're local knights of the inner kingdom, I'm not going to turn the corner, and you're more familiar with this land than I am, and I think you should guess more or less about what happened to you. ”

Rogers and his peers exchanged a look. And then he looked at Brando, and he said, "I admit only part of it, but we're not sure. ”

The Duke Kim couldn't help but look at Rogers, curious to hear that these people were the Royal Knights of the Inner Court of Cruz, but Brando and this man made her unbearable, saying, “Or I can ask, what are you talking about and what's going on? ”

“Miss Owney, if Lord Lord is correct, the creatures beneath Jorgendigan may have invaded the Empire.” It was only at this time that Madison answered softly with Brando's eyes, and then she repeated what happened to Count Gian and some of the clues they had discovered that the information was not classified and could be understood by walking to Vargas herself.

“Jorgendioka!” Ownie was shocked, and the Duke Kim almost reacted for a moment. What was that supposed to mean? As you can see, the term never appeared in her mind - not even in the wildest imagination. How could it suddenly invade the surface when the underground people and the people of the earth were isolated from each other? Her first reaction was that the Count was threatening them again with falsehood, but her eyes fell on a few Rogers who had not spoken out before realizing that it could be true and she couldn't help but say, “What a fuss they were coming for! ”

She just reacted and couldn't help but say, "Lion! Oh, my God, they're not going to reconnect with the Temple of the Earth again, are they? A thousand years later? ”

Rogers' face was a little black: "Count, you said several layers of certainty! ”

“There are several layers of grasp that you understand why you have to ask me.” Brando replied.

At this point, Enid asked the little girl around him with some caution: "Chiara, what are they talking about? Is there any trouble in the empire? ”

“Big trouble," said the little girl, still wearing her gigantic scholar's square cap today, smiling with some happiness: "If that guy hadn't lied, Rokozy - I'm afraid it's been a few days since the Sword Broken Mountains Fortress crowd was still in the hands of the Empire. ”

Rogers obviously realized this too, and Quinn told him that he had this uneasy feeling in his mind when interrupting his subpoena magic, and he knew exactly what it was, blocking magic on the battlefield. If it were a simple monster attack, cavemen would never use such spells, and they would only be faced with an organized army, and it would be self-evident what was behind these underground creatures.

His face changed for a moment and he finally made up his mind. He took a look at his companions and then said to Brando: "If Jorgendigan did attack the Empire, the area should have fallen into their grasp at this moment, which is also a hassle for the Count. ”

“Naturally, I don't think cavemen can tell the difference between the Cruz and the Eruin.” Brando replied.

“What does Lord Count intend to do? ”

“I have an easy way to figure out where these underground creatures are going,” replied Brando, "their first goal is the defensive line of Anzeluta, and their second goal is also the Imperial Army. My little mission should still be easy to break through. But I have a more perfect idea, and if we can get in the way of these uninterrupted guests, maybe the situation in the south of the empire won't get as bad as we thought. ”

Rogers and the three of them stared at Brando with amazement, shivering, “What are you talking about, Count? ”

“What, what I'm saying is hard to understand? ”

“No, but...”

Brando looked at these stunning knights of the inner court, and at a moment in his heart he could not help but create a joy of pranks, and the inexorable Empire also had a misty water, indicating that they were all played together. And the little girl next to Enid looked at the scene with a reluctant smile, from time to time a soft-hearted voice from her nose, not knowing whose stupidity and superficiality she was ridiculing; the Duke Kim suddenly realized something after Chiara, couldn't help but look deeply at the head of the envoy.

Brando said at this point: "I see. Do you think, from my standpoint, that I should now be on the enemy side of the empire, or at least remain neutral? ”

Rogers did not answer, but this was undoubtedly true of the divine colour on his face. The tall man behind him shrugged his shoulders, his face seemed helpless. The female knight behind them appeared a little nervous, his hands remained on the handle of the sword, only the last young man never spoke, and his face was not shocked.

Brando glanced at the young man and then replied, “You've made some mistakes, and I'm still standing against some of you, but in this jihad, the Eruins are still the allies of the Cruz, and that won't change. ”

Rogers looked at the Count with some surprise. He wanted to rumor that his character was strange and didn't want to be false. In his mouth, the Empire was an empire, the nobility was nobility, as if it were two concepts of division. He implicitly felt that Brando meant something, but it was too late to think about it. He replied with some gratitude: “Count, you are black and white. I admire this integrity. Now I believe that what you did on the Black Sword barrier, as rumoured, is not flawed at all. I apologize on behalf of the Empire. ”

Chiara listened to this and hurriedly pulled Enid around. Her move scared the latter. She couldn't help but whisper, "What's wrong, Chiara, are you not feeling well? ”

The little girl from the Sifah family had a terrible stomachache at the moment, and she grinned and replied, “Nothing. Enid, I'm afraid I'll make a laugh. Help me stop it. I can't stand it anymore. Pfft..."

The Counts of Grey Mountain looked at their companions somehow.

But Rogers is truly somewhat grateful at this moment. Few people in the world can separate their love from their hatred and the principle of being worldly. The world of hatred between Brando and the imperial nobility is well known, not to mention that they were preparing for a war before today, but the other side can decisively let go of hatred and prejudice at a critical moment, and this breast alone is enough for him to admire. And this admiration stems more from his being an Imperial soldier, watching the Empire go into danger without being able to do anything, and grabbing a life-saving straw in despair. Of course, his remarks about Brando are more half letters and half doubts, just not on the face.

Brando looked at all the people and shook his head and replied, "What I need now is not an apology, not even an apology, but an apology from some arrogant guy. What we need now is to figure out what really happened, and what we said before is nothing more than a speculation based on existing intelligence, but we need a more detailed plan, Mr. Rogers, and I'm sure you understand why I want to see you, because if I wanted to know what happened before midnight yesterday, no one here would know better than you. ”

That is what Brando and Nemathis are most concerned about at this moment, when the town of Tiesuga is empty and there are no signs of fighting, and when only a small number of residents of Forest Avenue and Vargas have been attacked, there are indications that Count Olkons and the armies of the other nobles did not withdraw because of the attack on Jorgendigan - or at least that they may have been able to escape the wind before then - but what Brandobes cannot comprehend is why Count Gian was abandoned in this place by a lone man - in fact, that Count still curses his mean-spirited colleagues there. Coincidentally, the guard cavalry rescued Rogers and others from that farm, and according to the cavalry captain's judgment, the Kruznetin knights were not the owners there either, meaning that they were likely to encounter cavemen halfway across the road and then had to retreat into the nearby farm to defend themselves.

As to why they left their secret quarters at that time, it might have been coincidence, but Brando preferred another guess.

Rogers was also slightly surprised at this moment, apparently the Count was well aware of the jurisdiction of their Knight of the Inner Court, but he was somewhat confused as to why the other party knew them so clearly, that the Knight of the Inner Court was only semi-public, even in the upper echelons of the Empire, and that some secrets had always been in the hands of the Royal Family. In this regard, even the young man in the robe raised his head for the first time, gazed at Brando and lowered his head.

And this thought just flashed in Rogers' head, and then it disappeared, but then the more surprising thought rose in his head, and he couldn't help but look up at Brando and say, "Count, don't you see? ”

“See what?” Brando somehow asked, and immediately after that he frowned, instinctively realizing what he and Count Jean might have missed.

Of course, it could be a trick, but when he saw Rogers looking back at his colleagues in shock, he understood that they weren't lying. Rogers, as if it had taken him a while to digest the news, scrolled his throat and answered in a painful manner: "Count, forgive me for the offense, may I confirm that you and your envoy did not see that light pole last night? ”

His tone was so cautious that Brando was not called consciously.

“Optical column?” Brando is really stuck, he and Nimmacees have been up all night, but he didn't see any light columns at all: "What are you talking about, is there a magical resonance going on somewhere, a trick for those creatures in Jorgendigan? ”

“It's not a magic resonance,” said the silent knight, “it's an artifact resonance, how could you not see, near Vargas and Forest Leaf Avenue, half the sky was lit, almost everyone saw a meteor fall, the northern sky was like a bear burning. ”

The two men finish at the same time and then silence at the same time.

Everyone looked at each other.

“There is no such thing as what you are talking about.” The Duke frowned and rebutted.

“Shooting, meteor falls? What's so funny?” Roman's eyes lit up and he looked at Metissa quickly, who frowned as if he were thinking about something.

“You said the meteor crashed and the northern sky burned like a bear?” Brando seemed to have heard Heaven's Night Tan and asked subconsciously.

The knight didn't understand what she was saying wrong, and she looked at her companions, but Rogers and Trevor were all shady. “What the hell is going on,” Rogers asked softly, "Count, haven't you seen this? ”

Brando did not answer, and he exchanged only one look with Nimmasis, who nodded his head silently and spoke a word to him.

Brando turned around and seemed to understand something at once, and he said to the White Lion Guard guard beside him: "Ask Count Gian if he saw what Mr. Rogers said. ”
