Brando pushed aside the tree, and the branches and leaves of the shrubs made a rustling sound, as if a window had been opened among the densely overlapping branches, revealing the scenery behind them; looking down, there were layers of undulating and overlapping terraces.

There is a bright mirror printed between the mountains. This is the Brown Bear Lake. Everyone let out a sigh of contentment. In order to avoid the encounter with Qiao Gendigang these days, they have been trekking through the mountains and forests.

It is not an easy thing, especially after abandoning the carriage, it is simply life-threatening for these delicate young masters and noble gentlemen.

"Brando, there seems to be something over there!" Only Roman seemed to be tireless. She held hands with the little daughter of Grand Duke Golan Elson - the latter's wet nurse. At this time, even she had to be supported to move forward.

——Looking around, he soon started shouting.

Brando knew that her perception was different from ordinary people, so he stopped and asked, "Can you see what it is?"

"They look like people, one or two."

"Is it a living person or a dead person?" Chiara also asked. They have seen the business lady's ability more than once in the past few days. Some people may have doubted it at first, but gradually it turned into envy and exclamation. Because of Roman, the envoy

The regiment's guards don't even have to take the risk of sending gargoyles into the sky for reconnaissance. Although the latter has a wide field of vision, it is also easier to be exposed in the sky. Jogendigon also has harpies and ridge dragons as its air force.

"I don't know. The two of them were sitting back to back under a zelkova tree."

"Have they moved?"

"It seems like it hasn't moved."

"He's probably dead. Where is he?"

"By the lake, there is a white rock there, just under the third tree." Roman replied.

Everyone gasped. It was at least ten miles away from here to Brown Bear Lake. They could only see layers of tree crowns like ink blankets, but this businesswoman could see at a glance the trees under the lakeside trees.

What kind of eyesight do two people have? The little daughter of Grand Duke Golan Elson looked at Roman holding her with admiration, and said crisply: "Sister Roman, you are so amazing!"

Roman felt happy in his heart, but he pretended to be serious and replied: "That's natural, I'm amazing."

Brando glanced at this guy. Although the latter's face was tense, his crooked eyes had exposed her thoughts. He shook his head and said, "Let's go and have a look."

When we arrived in the Bear Lake area, it was already impossible to avoid Jogendigang. There was a graystone town in this area, which was the only exit to the west of Yongyin Valley. Brando believed that the underground people would not let go.

Pass this strategic point. So instead of reacting passively, it is better to prepare first. The group of people walked down the mountain and walked to the place Roman mentioned. Sure enough, they saw two people sitting back to back under a tree. They were two Cruz soldiers.

Been dead for a long time.

Everyone parted the bushes and walked to the bodies. Roman quickly covered the eyes of the little daughter of Grand Duke Golan Elson with his hands, while others could clearly see the gray shirts on the two corpses and the star-shaped rose emblem on the shirts.

, Brando recognized the emblem of Sauven, which is the emblem of the Dragon Knight of Caronia, which proves that these two people should be soldiers of a local legion in Andzlova. "Caronia Land

Dragon Knight, this is Sir Feste's army!" A Cruz noble from behind recognized the identity of the corpse and shouted: "The Beishan outpost has also been lost?"

"Where is the Beishan outpost?" Brando asked.

"North of here, on the only road leading to Buos." Rogers replied looking at the two corpses.

Brando nodded, squatted down next to the corpse, and carefully checked the wounds. The first corpse had a penetrating wound, but it was not fatal in one blow, but died of excessive blood loss. He compared the wounds under the shirt.

The incisions in the armor revealed a vague conclusion in his mind: the Caronian Land Dragon Knight was a third-level soldier, and the one who killed him should have been another third-level soldier belonging to Jorgandigan, the Razor Boar. This war beast was Shadel.

The cavemen's beast taming, since the razor boar appears here, then there should be Shadel cavemen active in the area.

The Razor Boar's special abilities are Charge and Die Hard. The Charge ability is similar to a warrior's Charge. Die Hard allows it to generate false life equal to 10% of its total health after receiving enough damage to cause death, until the false life is consumed.

Or if it lasts for more than ten minutes, the Razor Boar will truly die. Brando thought of the Razor Boar's ability and suddenly cursed secretly, wondering how this ability was so similar to his own, but what he was more confused about was that the Razor Boar's ability was just right

It is restrained by the roar of the Kalonia Land Dragon Knight. The roar of the Kalonia Land Dragon Knight can make most beasts except monsters fearful. This is the battle between the Kalonia Land Dragoon and other beasts.

The sharp weapon used in cavalry is also effective against the Razor Boar. Logically speaking, if the Caronian Land Dragoon Knights intend to run away, the Razor Boar will hardly pose a real threat to them.

With such doubts, he checked the second corpse. The injuries on this corpse were very strange. The neck and arms were strangely bent, as if they were broken. Generally speaking, such injuries were caused by heavy blows with blunt objects.

But no wounds left by blunt force blows could be found on this corpse. Brando was wondering when Princess Magdale, who caught up from behind, frowned and glanced at the two corpses accompanied by Delfiri.

, and then said: "Mr. Count, there is no need to doubt, he fell to death."

"Fell to death?" Brando suddenly realized that this man should have fallen from the back of the Caronia dragon and broken his spine. He died at that time. His body should have been snatched by another companion.

came out, but the latter also died of excessive blood loss.

"It's not that simple. How can a well-trained dragon knight fall off the dragon's back? They are fixed on the saddle." Chiara replied while minding her own business, while Brando

She squatted down beside her and was about to poke the two corpses with her hands, but before she could touch them, her hands were pulled away by the latter: "Kids, stay away from these things." Brando replied angrily.

road.

"I'm not a child!"

Brando stopped and looked at the little guy.

Chiara looked very unhappy. She muttered something to herself, but no one heard her clearly. It was probably not a good word. However, Chiara's previous words reminded him that this Earthly Dragon Knight was raped.

It was pulled off the back of the Earthly Dragon. All the straps on his waist and legs were broken. Judging from the ports, they were obviously torn rather than cut. The Shadel caveman obviously did not have this ability. He only had the ability to do so.

Only when Xinglong goes crazy can this result be achieved.

It's just that the Caronian ground dragons are very docile, rarely go crazy on the battlefield, and are not easily frightened. Moreover, they have deep feelings for their owners. Even if the rider is unfortunately killed, they will stay next to the rider's body.

For a long time, Brando really couldn't figure out why these two Caronian dragon knights died alone here. There was no shadow of their mounts nearby. If there was a Caronian dragon knight,

The small probability of going crazy by chance is acceptable, but the current scene is simply too bizarre.

He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason. At this moment, Roman suddenly shouted from behind: "Ah, what a big mouse!" At this time, Roman screamed again.

Everyone turned around looking for the sound, and sure enough they saw a giant rat escaping from the forest. The thing was gray all over, dragging a long earthworm-like tail. There were three weird bone spurs on its back, and its head was smaller than the size of the rat.

The average house mouse is even bigger. In addition to the huge incisors that rodents are accustomed to, there are also two rows of sharp teeth in its open mouth. This thing was hiding under a nearby rock. It obviously didn't expect that it would.

When he found it, he was startled and turned around to get into the bushes. But when Brando saw this thing, without thinking, he picked up the long sword beside the body and threw it over. There was a flash of silver light and a pop.

The giant rat was nailed to the ground.

The little daughter of Archduke Golan-Elsen happened to see this scene, screamed and hurriedly hid behind Roman.

"What is this?" Chiara frowned and looked at the little thing struggling on the ground with disgust.

"The burrow rat, the hound of the Shadr caveman." Nymesis from behind answered.

"They use this thing to spy on us!?" Avram was so frightened that all the fat on his body trembled. The ball-shaped son of a duke looked around in horror, as if the forest was full of these rats.

He stared at them all the time: "Couldn't we have been discovered?"

"But this thing is quite conspicuous. I can spot it as soon as it comes close to us." Roman replied: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Don't worry."

Everyone looked at the business lady as if she were a freak.

However, her words more or less made everyone feel at ease. Some people may not be willing to follow Brando at first, but the experience in the past two days has proved his ability. He understands these underground creatures far better than

Others, relying on experience and judgment, finally walked out of Vargas calmly, avoiding all the battles that could be avoided; if these Cruz people followed Brando at first because they had to do so as prisoners, but now

I already regard him as a savior.

In the past few days, they passed through Hemlock Town, Vargos and several other villages, and witnessed with their own eyes the scene after the Jorgendigon army passed by, the villagers turned into stone statues, imperial soldiers or heads stuck on the spears of cavemen.

They were always reminded of the current situation. Now no one dared not believe that they were facing an army from the underground world. Even the most stubborn Count Jean shut his mouth, and the nobles began to become frightened.

, Brando, the only one who still seemed calm, became their only support.

After all, compared to those ferocious monsters, fellow humans are still much more amiable. The only thing that makes them complain is that Brando has incorporated their servant guards into a reserve team, and also confiscated their rations and changed them to unified rations.

The sudden appearance of the burrow demon rat diverted everyone's attention, and Brando no longer bothered about the underground dragon. He told Nimesis this doubt. The female knight also felt equally puzzling, but she didn't.

The answer, and then the two of them stopped wasting time on it. There was obviously no time to bury the corpse at the moment, but Brando still asked the four Rogers to tidy up the posthumous appearance of the two Caronia dragon knights, and then

They settled in a secluded place, at least ensuring the minimum dignity, which won a lot of gratitude from the four inner court knights. Even the Cruz nobles vaguely felt that the Earl from Tonigel might not be a good person.

The rude people, the hatred accumulated in the past has also been resolved invisibly.

The team left the lakeside and continued to move north. Brando's goal was to bypass Brown Bear Lake and arrive near Greystone Town before dark. However, he slowed down the team after realizing that there might be Shadel Caveman nearby.

Speed. The team advanced slowly along the forest surrounded by mountains by the lake. Later, they discovered several corpses of local imperial legionnaires. Once they were a small group of walking swordsmen, and once they were another Caronian Land Dragon Knight.

But his mount was also not found. Afterwards, traces of fierce battles and corpses of cavemen began to appear in the forest. They were cavemen with purple-red skin and long manes. They fell in random directions in the forest where leaves piled up.

, apparently a Jorgendigang army heading north along Brown Bear Lake encountered Cruz's local army, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle hand-to-hand in the forest.

There are even traces of magical bombardment in the forest. A flame plowed through the nearby beech forest, leaving behind a scorched earth strip ten feet wide and hundreds of feet long. The ashes were full of melted metal and other things.

Brando estimated that at least half a squadron of imperial soldiers were killed in the fragments of things. However, he was a little confused. This kind of magic is a bit like the fire chain thrown by a demon warlock. Neither the elementalist nor the law wizard has similar spells.

The wild elf sister Fuluo stood beside the scorched earth zone for a long time, also frowning and saying nothing.

"It's not elemental magic." She finally replied.

They crossed such a fragmented battlefield, but then more and more scenes like this appeared, making it difficult to imagine what happened in the forest. Some places almost looked like the land left after the demons wreaked havoc, but among the team

The Countess of Yanbao is extremely sensitive to demons. Brando asked her several times and got a negative answer. Rogers, Trevor and Nasha seemed a little silent, and the imperial nobles who followed behind were also silent.

In their minds, the empire was invincible, but this scene clearly shattered their fragile expectations.

At this time, Brando's position in their hearts has become self-evidently more important.

But among all the people, only the black-haired young man named Kui said to himself: "Why are they attacking Buos? Are they planning to bypass Greystone Town?"

When Brando heard this, he turned back and glanced at Nimesis, and then both of them shook their heads slightly.

It was a little later than expected when we arrived near Greystone Town. The sun was slowly setting under the mountains, but there were still a few rays of light in the river valley. Brando and others stood on a nearby mountain to observe the Milky Way.

The town downstream, in the direction of Gray Stone Town, was dark, like a shadow in the valley. The sunset glowed with blood in the sky, as if it was a sign before some kind of disaster. No one in the team spoke alone.
