"Click!"
There was a crisp sound in his ear, and the black haired wizard suddenly woke up.
The dazzling light reflected into the line of sight and gradually became soft; The surrounding environment and touch also transfer information to their own consciousness through their bodies.
This is... Floating city... My room... I''m... Lying in... My own bed
The intermittent messages gathered into a whole paragraph. While shaking his head and waking up, Loren sat up and focused his blurred vision on a figure beside his bed.
"... Brandon?"
The red haired boy sitting by the bed, with red eyes, looked at the black haired wizard who suddenly woke up, holding a freshly cut apple in his hand.
"Lo, Loren?! you finally wake up!"
Even half a second didn''t work. The Prince changed his face and showed an excited look: "this is really the blessing of the Holy Cross - I didn''t believe it when ayin told me you could wake up today!"
"But I''m still here - look, apple, it''s cut for you!"
Looking at the apple he offered, the dark haired wizard didn''t even have the desire to roll his eyes.
"Ka Chi!"
Loren, who took the apple and took a hard bite, glanced at the prince''s relieved and distressed expression, and couldn''t help turning up the corners of his mouth.
Anyway, when he fought with the eagle king alone in the blood skeleton Valley, only he could think of coming to support himself - although he was a whole day late, he didn''t help at all, and he came with the Dragon mirasis.
But at least he''s here.
No one asked, no one forced, and no hint... It''s certain that he must have come as soon as he got the news of help, otherwise even the giant dragon could not have hit it so "skillfully".
Dragon King City, big green sea, eboden... Although he and Brandon have always only used each other, every time this guy can come to save himself by abiding by the agreement.
Even every time, he is "late Prince"
"How? Well, I mean, of course I know that an apple as a gift of apology is not enough, but you bastard seems to have nothing missing." Brandon stared at Lauren with sincerity:
"So... The magnanimous Duke of Byrne must forgive his friend for being a little late and not being able to fight side by side with him, right?"
"A little late?"
Playing with the apple in his hand, Lauren smiled at the corners of his mouth.
"Er... It shouldn''t be much late. I know I must be late, but it''s definitely at the last moment..."
"When you came, the eagle king''s body was cold."
"Maybe the Azores'' physique is different from that of human beings. It''s cooler faster?" Brandon''s smile is very naive and simple: "I may have missed the last scene, but there are definitely thousands of enemies who have not been..."
"Thousands of enemies... Were killed before the eagle king was killed."
"Of course, I''m not talking about those enemies who are still resisting! I mean... Those shameless deserters who were trampled and trampled under the iron horses of proud Imperial Knights, I must remember seeing you in the sky before your last charge..."
Brandon''s smile grew more and more reluctant.
"The last charge was in the evening. When you came, it was early in the morning."
"Come on, let''s get this straight. How can you forgive me?" Brandon shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head with a "whatever you want" expression.
"..." Loren Turin.
This guy really has no airs as usual... Of course, he has no shame.
"Anyway, except for meat compensation... You basically don''t need what I can compensate you, so..." Brandon looked indifferent and grinned from the corner of his mouth to the root of his ears:
"Let''s start talking about business... As usual, I''ll start first."
The dark haired wizard who kept twitching at the corners of his mouth did not refute; After all, if the other party is willing to sit here and wait for him to wake up, he must not be "courteous without anything".
"Come on, what do you want to know - the course of the battle of blood skeleton Valley?"
"When I came, I had heard your people say 800 times - 800 times, 800 different versions, but my dear wizard consultant and Duke Byrne, in each version, one is the Savior of 100!"
With a teasing smile, Brandon''s expression gradually dignified: "I want to know the details."
"For example..."
"For example..." the fiery red eyes twinkled with strange light and looked at each other with Obsidian pupils: "the eagle king... Is he really dead?"
His Highness''s expression is different from the past.
"You see, I''m a de saloon, and I''m a direct de saloon - a lot of information that is secret to others. It''s just ''behind the scenes Lace'' that I can see with some effort."
"I know that in most cases, it is far more difficult than it seems to kill an evil god apostle, because they are closely related to their respective evil gods. Even if they are killed, they can often resurrect in decades, even more than ten years, and a few years later."
Brandon sighed: "it''s ok if it''s just the apostles that ordinary people become, but this guy is the eagle king; if he has the body of immortality, it will become a very terrible trouble."
The black haired wizard couldn''t help picking his eyebrows. It was a little unexpected.
For the first time, Brandon did not do it all for himself, but considered the problem from the height of "empire".
But
"I can tell you very clearly that the eagle king has died and can never come back from the dead." Loren said in a very serious voice: "the evil gods who helped him have completely abandoned him and taken away the mark of evil gods; his own traces in the world have been wiped out by me."
"Even if it is resurrected, it is only a body manipulated by the power of emptiness and dressed in the headless body of the eagle king."
His Highness the prince nodded in a daze, and his expression was like a sigh of relief.
"Well... Then I''ll rest assured." Brandon smiled heartlessly again. Brandon thumbed up to Loren: "it''s worthy of being the descendant of the black Duke. I knew you must be right!"
The smiling Lauren moved her eyes a little.
Generally speaking, even if you are guaranteed, you must want to know some details; Or at least ask how to do it, whether there are any hidden dangers or costs, and whether there will be an emergency.
But Brandon didn''t ask.
Not only did he not ask, he didn''t even want to say it; This is no longer out of pure trust.
I know you have some secrets you may not want to tell. It doesn''t matter, because I have them too; In that case, let''s keep some of each other and not interfere with each other too much.
This is a "tacit understanding" of mutual respect.
"Now it''s your turn. Ask whatever you want." Brandon shrugged. "Needless to say, I know what you''ll ask."
... what are you talking about?
In the heart, he could not help but make complaints about it. Loren still put the apple aside, and put his back back, and asked the other party to start.
"First of all, the information I got for help came not from you, but from the fortress of duanjie mountain - shortly after you arrived at the blood skeleton Valley, the fortress of duanjie mountain was besieged by Azores desperate."
"The battle was very fierce; according to the letter sent back by Conrad, he and Sarika tried to break through more than once and asked you for help in blood skeleton Valley, but they failed in the end... But you should have guessed this."
Lauren nodded. When the reinforcements of duanjie mountain never arrived, he had a hunch that this might be the case.
Forty thousand elves broke through the fortress of duanjieshan mountain and released hundreds of thousands of demons into East sakran... Even the destruction and massacre alone are enough to destroy the foundation of the Empire!
Because these rotten corpse demons are not an army, they have no "order" except orders; In the glacial wasteland, we can find ways to concentrate on annihilation, but once dispersed to the East saklan plain, no army can stop them!
"The next thing is something you can''t imagine..." with a restrained smile, Brandon lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "do you remember the Azor spirit entrenched in eboden, that is, the prince rodriya Azor who fought with you for a whole month?"
"Yes, what happened to him?"
"He broke through the line of defense of eboden along the gem River, tens of thousands of troops went south along the river, and the front pointed directly at the imperial capital Golovin!" Brandon added: "because he didn''t expect that the line of defense would be broken so soon in advance, the current imperial capital can''t even get together the troops!"
"Then... Ah, just as agreed, the Azores army on the front line of lottel also began to launch a fierce attack on Shenlin fort; Archduke Luwen, who was still abundant in troops, was tired of coping, and even came to a state of shortage;"
"Because the Azores drove the ogres from the forest to attack his rear line, all the mobile forces he could mobilize went to encircle and suppress the ogres!"
"When I received the news, the vanguard army of 30000 elves had arrived in West saxoland, where they burned, killed and looted everywhere to collect enough materials for their consumption." Brandon couldn''t help laughing:
"This scared the aristocrats in the imperial capital half to death. They probably didn''t expect that the war could be so close to them in their life!"
The prince gave a slight pause and looked at the expression of the black haired Wizard: "come on, I know what you want to ask - yes, in fact, at the beginning, I planned to leave you and my beloved brother connord to be the hero guarding the imperial capital, but I finally came to the North, didn''t I!"
"Er... How to say, there are many reasons, but the one you will most care about should be... The Countess of red blood castle."
"Countess of red blood castle?"
What does this have to do with Charlotte?
Brandon''s face suddenly showed a "hard to tell" expression. For a moment, Loren seemed to see a look of fear in his eyes.
Of course, it''s just a moment.
"Yes, she sent a letter to my barracks, told me that Byrne would immediately send troops to rescue the capital Golovin, and told me not to worry." Brandon''s expression immediately returned to normal, as if nothing had happened:
"Er... Not only that, she also wrote to invite Archduke Arles to send troops with her to form an Arles Bain Coalition for rescue; in this way, the final total force will reach 150000; even if the elves cannot be eliminated, at least there is no need to worry about guarding the city."
The dark haired wizard nodded slightly, indicating default.
Indeed... Charlotte''s decision was very wise; Byrne, who had transferred most of his mobile forces, was too late to rescue the fortress of duanjieshan, so he entrusted the rescue task to Brandon, who was closer, while Byrne, who gathered most of his forces, rushed to the "less urgent" capital of Golovin.
In order to find a name for sending troops, he also brought Archduke Arle together; In this way, even the emperors and nobles did not dare to provoke and resist the two principalities in the south at the same time.
But there''s a problem
"I remember the relationship between you and Charlotte is not very bad. Why did you listen to her this time?" Loren was puzzled: "did she threaten you?"
Brandon''s expression grew stiff under the dim candle light in the room.
"Cough... Let''s not talk about this for the time being. Anyway, you''ll know sooner or later." with a forced smile, the prince''s eyes became more and more flustered: "in a word, you should heal yourself first. We are going to duanjie mountain fortress, and my army has rushed to rescue; when we arrive, maybe brother connord will take the initiative to meet us..."
"Dong Dong Dong!"
There were three knocks outside the door.
When Brandon and Loren were interrupted, a familiar figure was pushing the door and entering.
It''s Edward the night watchman.
"Your Highness, some rangers are coming back from the fortress." glancing at the black haired wizard sitting on the bed and just getting up, Edward, with a stiff face, whispered with his back hands:
"Please delay a little. I need to report something to you immediately."
"Report, since it''s the intelligence of duanjieshan fortress, it''s the same if you say no here. Anyway... Er, OK, OK, I know."
Brandon, with a helpless face, had to get up, glanced at Lauren with an expression of "this is not what I mean", then patted Edward on the shoulder and left the room with him.
Lying alone in bed, Loren shrugged his shoulders alone.
I don''t know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Edward was becoming more and more like LUT infinite day by day.
Brandon is also gradually becoming like the "loving brother" he once hated most. He controls the army and contacts allies, and his wrist is becoming more and more skilled day by day; Now he even dares to throw his army to others, which is enough to prove how confident he is in his means of command.
Ayn became more and more confident day by day, Isaac began to have "human feelings", mentor Dalton kand was no longer so indifferent, and Charlotte occasionally showed the appearance of a blushing little girl.
So the only guy around him who hasn''t changed from beginning to end is only one.
The expressionless Lauren shifted his eyes to the bedside, and a white golden head came into his eyes.
Asriel.
