The Amber Sword

The light in the valley quickly became bright and plentiful, as if it were a wilderness, with Brando gazing into this beautiful scroll, answering some questions about the brigadier to Chiara without a match - most of which, of course, passed by secrets that Brando was reluctant to mention, but which were perfectly sufficient for a little girl to outline the mysterious and full outline of her heart.

When Brando quietly blended Mount Halloween into his world of magicians when Chiara didn't notice, this snowy white sanctuary next to the storm's nest depicted a pale green ridge line in the sky of the Gemstone Plains.

About half an hour later, the scouts finally brought back the news outside ——

Outside the valley there is no sign of the Jogentigans, but a small number of cavemen are stationed on the plains, who do not resemble the front-line forces of Jogentigans, but rather the defenceless guard forces. With this news, Brando was completely relieved, indicating that the main body of the Jørgendigan had indeed travelled to Asa, and that the remaining infirmities were merely to prevent the troubles caused by the guards of Port Rune, but he wanted to know that it was impossible, and that in the interior of the empire, the guards of these cities had no fighting power other than the militias and knights of the nobility.

In addition, Rogers et al. brought back another piece of good news:

They contacted the guards in Port Rune.

……

Port Rune--

The largest port in the southern part of the lofty sea, the New Sea Pearl, is best known for its enormous white towers along the Gulf Coast, which are remnants of the time before the Battle of the Saints, through which the Minors gathered scattered magic free of the air, a technology long after the Battle of the Saints, but today, a small part of the towers are still operational, although their owners have been replaced by the Anzlova living on the coast. These towers are still decreasing at a rate of two seats per decade, and it is expected that in 30 years' time the last tower will be shut down due to aging equipment, after which time these white spires will truly become a testament to history and may one day be torn apart by wind erosion or permanently standing on the shores of the bay as a unique and enduring landscape here.

While crossing the coastal plains, Eruin's mission saw these legendary white towers, which stood alone on the far edge of the sky, sort of like a windmill without paddles, so that Eruin members of the mission were admired for the spectacular scenery, and even the tensions under threat were faded; while the usual Kruzis looked much more dull, and their eyes were more attracted to the faint columns of smoke in the northern sky, which direction was exactly the direction of Port Rune, indicating that, as Brando had anticipated, several giant dragons had already arrived at the port step by step, so it was not known whether it was a boat that had burned.

Most people look in the middle of the team - Brando's direction, although the latter promises that there will always be ships in the port.

Although the port had already been notified, the reception of the mission was very cold, and the guards who led them into the city looked at the numbness of the guards, but when they saw the long line of Kruze nobles behind the team, they looked at it twice, as if they had lost hope. After entering the port, the people realized that the situation in the city of Rune was not optimistic either. The dragon queen seemed to have ravaged the port before, and the burnt building wreckage and post-explosion traces were visible everywhere. The team passed through several temples, the square outside the temple was filled with moaning wounded, and when they saw these scenes, everyone became unconsciously silent.

The local consul arrived late after the team had crossed half the port, and the owner of Port Rune, who was originally the second son of Count Alcons, was killed a few days earlier when the dragon beast attacked the port, at a time when the city was being managed by the harbour chief, Viscount Voras, who was a lifetime of ambition and inaction. Initially, he was informed by the guards that the Eruin mission had arrived outside the port and was unwilling to take the time to receive the Eruins, because Rogers had not indicated in his first briefing that there were also nobles of the Cruz - especially Count Alcons and others - in the mission, but on the second identification Brando had added this little detail to it, and it turns out that the Earl of Alcons belonged to He hastily rushed in after questioning and cursed these damned Eluynes for trouble on the way - why didn't Lord Olkons on the team say so?

Didn't know he was his Cruz compatriot.

As for the news of his son's death, Olkons was quite frank. He had six sons, and it was normal for his subordinates and sons to die accidentally in this period of war. Besides, he was himself a soldier, and after listening to Voras' words of guilt, he relieved the latter and made the latter flattered. The next is the transfer of power to the owner of the city, who is truly powerless, who has made a simple and simple transfer process incredibly complicated and fragile, and who sees Brando laughing at himself, who is naturally the best at administrative work in his hands is not Antina, who compares the two to a higher judgment - and even insults the lady bureaucrat, who should be said not to belong to a world at all.

And if the embarrassed Count of Olcons looks no better, if he doesn't see the other person's lack of credit and hard work, and if he can't find a second person with relevant experience in the harbor at this moment, it is estimated that this poor Viscount will soon be put in jail - his messy accounts alone will suffice. Eventually, the Count finally lost sight of it, so he stopped the man and went straight into the harbour with one knife: "Are there any ships in the harbour that can sail far away? ”

As soon as Voras heard this, his face collapsed, and he replied bitterly: "Count, don't talk about the ships sailing in the ocean. We were attacked by a group of dragon beasts a few days ago, and I'm afraid we won't be able to even get a slab in the harbor right now. ”

When Count Olkons asked, it was not just him and Wallace who were present, but the others looked back at Brando among the crowd as soon as Viscount Wallace answered.

Brando certainly knows what they want to ask.

He waved to everyone: "Don't worry, I said there's a boat, there's a boat, but before we do that, we have two things to do. ”

Everyone heard him say that the disturbance that had just occurred immediately subsided. Viscount Voras saw the scene beside him and couldn't help but freak out. He had always thought that the group should be headed by Count Alcons, but now he realizes that the real leader seemed to be this young man. He did not yet know the identity of the Brando Eruin, looked at each other for a second, wondering who this guy really was, is he the bastard of a Grand Duke?

But if he knew Brando was just the head of this mission, he'd be even more surprised.

Brando saw the crowd quiet before continuing: “First we need a berth, Mr. Voras. Are there any other prime berths in the harbor? ”

"" My lord, that's a privileged berth.

“Of course I know what it is," Brando interrupted him unhappily. “All you have to do is answer me yes or no. As for what was in the berth, I don't care. All you have to do is clean it up, even if it's Her Majesty's ship. As for what went wrong, you can take responsibility for it. ”

The tone of this tough bond almost shook Wallace, and he couldn't help but look to Count Alcons beside him, and after finding a definitive answer in the latter's divine colour, he answered Brando with a sense of awe and awe: “Naturally there is, my lord, up to the privileged berth, down to the anchor of the boards, whatever you want, because at this moment there is no boat in the harbor, let alone a boat, even a plank of wood floating on the surface of the water, because it has been burned to ashes by those big, winged lizards, and besides, they have set a fire in the forest outside the city. ”

The Viscount replied somewhat helplessly: “They do not know that, in fact, the timber used in the shipyards in Port Rune comes from outside...”

“That's enough.” Brando waves and interrupts his rambling bullshit: "You find someone to clean up the berth for us, I'll send someone with you, you work for them, you meet all their demands, you understand? ”

“Everything?” Wallace looked at Count Olkons beside him with a great deal of fear until the latter nodded solemnly at him.

“I understand, my lord.” He replied respectfully.

Brando found out that this man, though incompetent, at least obeyed. No wonder the son of Alcons would use him as his deputy. It really felt good to obey the words, compared to the political ability attributes of Antina according to the term of the game, which may be as high as 99 points, but the demands of the lord were not necessarily too much, which was not allowed, and it was not allowed, and his decision was often questioned, making people cry.

“Secondly," Brando said to others, "the dragon queen will not necessarily let us go, destruction is inevitable, we need to determine a safe route and confirm the movement of the Georgendigan army outside the city. In short, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in recent times and the surrounding environment of Port Rune. We need a day or two to leave, and I do not want to see cavemen suddenly come to the city during this time, Count Olkons, you are the local lord, and this matter is left to you. ”

Count Alcons glanced at him and nodded softly.

“Mr. Voras.” When Alcons answers, Brando calls the groundsnake again: “Please do us another favor. ”

“My lord, if you will, there must be an answer.” Voras now understands the superior position of the young man and hurries to bow his head.

Brando was quite satisfied with this guy's reaction and laughed: “It's not a big deal. I want you to get a sacrifice from the city. We have wounded people on our team. ”

Voras suddenly realized, in his speculation, after all, that this team had broken out of the sight of the army of Jorgendigan, what a fierce war it was - in fact, when he first heard of the arrival of the Eruin mission at the port, he was surprised, he thought that the Jorgendigans would defeat the Imperial Festival, and that the Eruins in the Vargas region would never have been spared, but he did not expect the latter not only to be spared, but also to have saved Count Olcons's sidekick - this Count, indeed, is a myth.

But no matter what the name, as long as there was a battle, it was normal for the wounded, but the Viscount never dreamed that Brando's so-called members - there was actually only one person, that is, the daughter of the Imperial Chancellor, who had been in good and bad shape since that night, and almost lost her life in the worst case, but when Brando never dreamed of it, the crazy woman would finally be rescued by the uninformed Lady Misserille.

After that, Ms. Silver Dragon told him that she thought that this little human woman was a friend of Brando, and that she was in a position to thank Brando for saving her life before helping her. Brando could only laugh bitterly when he heard about it, and she could only blame the woman for her fate.

Honestly, as far as he's concerned, he thinks it might be a little easier for Delphine to die than to live at the moment.

Because even the Dragon Nation is not omnipotent after all, Ms. Silver Dragon at best means that she barely sustains her life, and the process itself is an incredibly painful one, and I'm afraid for this lady there has been more than hell these days - if she can feel it. And since Delphine is not dead, Brando cannot naturally propose a sword to stab her to death to put an end to the misery of this young lady, and no one will feel uncomfortable about this, and since we have arrived at the port, the first thing is to find a qualified therapist for this prime minister, Chikin.

That's fine, Brando thought, at least tell the prime minister to owe him a debt of gratitude, and the lady, even if she barely survives, will have to spend the rest of her life lying in bed, and she won't be able to find him any more trouble.

Wallace told Brando what he was asking for, and then suddenly remembered another thing, and quickly found Brando, who was discussing the route with Count Alcons, Chiara and others, and asked, “My lords, you want to know the cavemen outside the city, and I think you can go up to the wall right now. ”

“Hmm?” Even though it was only a short period of time, Brando could see that this man would not be unarmed, so he stopped and asked, "What's wrong, is something strange? ”

“My lord, these cavemen outside the city seem a little different...”

“A little different? ”

Wallace nodded cautiously.

……

When he climbed to a city not so high in Port Rune, Brando quickly realized that the cavemen stationed on the plains were somewhat different, as Rogers and others had done in return - dispersed discipline and poorly equipped, at first glance a legion of defenceless guards, but in addition to armed and armored cavemen fighters, there were many unarmed civilians in the cavemen's camps, or cavemen's laborers.

These cavemen make up a significant proportion of the camp, setting up camps and managing some strange creatures that the first people thought were the Jorgendigans prepared to attack Port Rune, but then they discovered that it was a hoof beast, and that this creature had the same status in Jorgendigans as cattle and sheep in the surface world, which is the livestock of cavemen.

“Are these cavemen's logistical units?” Sir Cooper couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw the scene: "No, how did the logistics force get to Rune, and it didn't look like it! ”

Cooper's words reminded Brando that he quickly realized that the Jogentigans were not acting like they were looting the ground, but more like they were migrating or colonizing.

But this is inconsistent with the usual behavioral patterns of underground organisms, for whom the surface world is not comfortable, and most underground organisms blind in strong light, indicating that the sun is too dazzling for them.

what are they doing?

Brando was perplexed, but fortunately, one person in the mission seemed to be able to answer his question.

He immediately asked the little prince to call Les Macas.

Soon after, that Medusa came up from downtown, her presence caused a disturbance in the crowd, making way for the lady from the Jogentigaun underground, Les Mecca splitting up the crowd and coming to Brando - the first time Brando had the opportunity to meet her personally, although the latter had entrusted the young prince with the euphemism of wanting to meet him.

But Brando knew very well how authentic the residents of Jogentigaun were, and if he could, in fact, he was reluctant to believe this woman.

He looked back at the woman who had created an astonishment in the crowd, who had a brilliant snake's hair - like a venomous snake throwing up a letter - her face was beautiful, like a sculpture of an ancient Greek goddess, flawless, beneath long eyebrows, with a pair of vertical pupils in her amber eyes, and if she did not look at her long hair, her eyes and the fine snake scales on her forehead, she could still be described as beautiful.

After hearing Brando's account and seeing the cavemen and their livestock in the city herself, Ms. Medusa replied calmly and affirmatively, as if she had anticipated:

“My lord, you are not mistaken, they are migrating. ”

“And in fact, this is the great migration that has not been seen in the millennium of Jorgendi. ”

Her voice turned a little, as if it were a serenade's throat.
