Reddy and the people around him were getting closer and closer, and the two slender figures were like ghosts floating in the forest. Everyone stopped and looked in that direction at the same time. Antitina lowered her head and made an estimate.
, her complexion changed, and she immediately raised her head and looked at Brando, her black gem-like eyes full of anxiety——
Their camp is in the clearing in the forest. At this moment, Lubis's mercenaries have put away their tents. Even if the other party is just passing by the edge of the forest, they will definitely notice something abnormal.
"Be patient." But Brando stared in that direction and just replied.
Although most of the people present may not understand what "calm down" means, they unconsciously calmed down at this moment - Brando raised his hand, and the calm and calm expression on his face made people feel sure
, this gives an obvious hint to others - there is no need to act rashly.
Antitina opened her mouth slightly.
As Brando's summons, 'Rubis' mercenaries' have the first duty to carry out the planeswalker's orders. Even if there is a cliff in front of them, they will not hesitate if Brando asks them to move forward, let alone this little one.
It was a small request. But in the eyes of the noble daughter, these veterans who seemed to have experienced hundreds of battles and were supposed to be extremely proud were silenced just because of Brando's small action. The extent of the orders and prohibitions was shocking.
No one spoke.
She held her breath subconsciously, not even daring to take a breath.
The wind roared overhead in the valley. The wind rushed from the mountain pass in the south, like an invisible hand passing through the branches. The leaves on the top layer of the tree crown made a rustling sound. The dancing branches made the dim starlight change and intersect.
The light and shadow fell on Reddy's face, making the white-haired young man's face look a little gloomy.
He and his companions walked through an open bush. The two of them seemed not as cautious as Brando expected. It could be said that they didn't care about the 'crackling' sound they made when they stepped on dead branches. Brando suddenly remembered something
The thing is, Macaro probably didn't tell too many people that their camp was in this direction, which means Reddy probably didn't know that the two of them were approaching Brando and his party.
"The Maned Wolf doesn't want to cause trouble?" Brando thought to himself.
Less than a hundred feet left.
Brando believes that as long as that guy goes to the edge of the forest, he will definitely find something abnormal here. At that time, he only needs to insist that it is because he is not trusting his group, then they will really be unable to argue, although at the moment it seems that these two guys are very
It's suspicious, but Macaro must be more willing to believe in its own team members.
He was just as nervous in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. The young man looked to one side, and the mercenary named "Tiger Bird" over there was also asking him with his eyes - he was the leader of this group of mercenaries, and also
It's like the concept of a mercenary leader is brought together - experienced and wise. The meaning of this old mercenary is very clear: Do you want to preemptively kill the opponent?
But getting rid of it? Easier said than done.
This is a very common choice for mercenaries.
Brando struggled. Although it was not the first time he killed someone, this time was different. In Yusongbao, there was no room for life and death. Brando was not pedantic enough to ignore other people's threats to his life.
But in the final analysis, half of his soul comes from a civilized society. He still instinctively resists killing people just because of a suspicion without hesitation. But he doesn't understand that people in this position are indecisive.
It's a big taboo.
He closed his eyes and took a breath.
Should he obey the will of this world and completely cut off his ties with the past? Or should he stick to the last bottom line? He is Brando, but he also has the mark of Sophie in his soul. If he denies this, then he will
It is tantamount to denying everything in the past.
Maybe that reality was originally a mirror. Otherwise, how could I be in this world at this moment - Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? Who can say clearly? But the memory of the past world is so profound. At some time in the past
The happiness and sadness at the node seem to be engraved on the memory of yesterday. How can we deny it?
If the memory of the past is cut off, then what is the meaning of all his efforts now? Should a person still be called a human being if he loses his soul? Even if he is, I am afraid he will not be the same person as before.
For a moment, messy thoughts filled his mind, but it was like a sharp sword cutting through all the knots in an instant. He opened his eyes like the king of Macedonia, his eyes were clear, and he found his own
Answer.
"Lord Lord?"
Antitina keenly saw through Brando's hesitation, and she couldn't help being slightly startled. She originally thought that such a decision was a matter of course for a decisive young noble like Brando, and there was no need to consider it at all.
choose.
This is originally the rule of the game between nobles——
Brando heard the girl's question and turned to look at her. The aristocratic daughter could not help but be stunned again. She never thought that Brando would show such a look - self-deprecating, relaxed but confident.
A trace of regret? She didn't know where the young knight's compassionate eyes came from, and when Eruin's cold-blooded nobles would be like this.
Maybe it's crocodile tears, but it doesn't seem necessary. Or is it that the highland knights of Karasu still follow those ancient precepts to this day?
When Brando raised his hand, he felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, but when he put it down, he felt extremely relaxed: "Be prepared. But if possible, try to only knock him out. I don't want to completely fall out with the Maned Wolf Macaro.
"He ordered in an imperceptible voice. He didn't know if he would be regarded as a fool by others if he did this, but if he didn't do this, he would definitely be a fool.
Lubis's mercenaries nodded together. As summoned creatures, they had no right to evaluate or question their lord's decision. However, there was still more or less a pity in the eyes of 'Tiger Bird', who wanted to achieve something once and for all.
It was better to choose a more decisive approach. On the other hand, Antitina let out a sigh of relief.
The girl's eyelashes fluttered, and she couldn't help but look at Brando with a new look. For the first time, she discovered that the young lord she was following, who was almost the same age as him, seemed to have some qualities that she didn't know about.
. She couldn’t tell whether this trait was good or bad, but it seemed to be incompatible with this ancient world. For some reason, she didn’t feel unnatural at all. On the contrary, this girl from a noble family was so
For the first time in a long time, I felt at ease.
Seventy feet.
"Brando." At this time, Roman called nervously from the side.
Brando was stunned for a moment, but still whispered: "Don't make any sound."
The businesswoman thought for a moment, then nodded.
Lubis's mercenaries were all in place, and as soon as Reddy and another man approached the edge of the forest glade, they swarmed up. Twelve experienced soldiers with mid-range black iron strength, they were completely confident that
The opponent was restrained before he could make any reaction. However, Brando still felt some instinctive nervousness. There might be powerful enemies waiting outside the forest, and he must not waste any time here.
But what immediately surprised him was that just as Reddy and the man beside him were about to walk out of the bushes, they slowly stopped.
What did they find?
Brando's eyelids twitched, and he almost immediately ordered his mercenaries to press forward, but he stopped his impulsive thoughts. An attack from this distance might make the entire plan a mess, because the distance was too large.
It was far away, with a small patch of bushes in the middle. He slowly calmed down, and it didn't look like the white-haired boy had noticed the situation here.
He looked back and saw that Lubis's mercenaries were as calm as ever. Except for the heartless Miss Roman who was still looking around, Antitina's face was pale with fright, as if her heartbeat was about to stop.
It's like transporting blood again.
He looked back, but was stunned again - he was surprised to find that Reddy not only stopped, but also turned around and was talking to his companions. However, they were at least twenty meters away from the edge of the forest, and the forest clearing was at least 20 meters away.
There are more than fifty meters, and the distance is nearly a hundred meters. Even with Brando's perception ability, he can only occasionally capture one or two keywords.
The white-haired young man didn't speak loudly. He looked up in the direction of the camp from time to time, as if he was paying attention to something.
But soon, the conversation between the two people became intense. It eventually turned into a dispute. Although most people here could not hear clearly what was being said on the other side, they could tell from the movements of their hands.
Neither side seemed to be able to convince the other party. When he realized that the other party was not coming here, Brando couldn't help but feel a little depressed for a while, thinking, in the middle of the night, are you two just coming out to quarrel?
I'm sorry, can you please move to another place?
It's a pity that Reddy obviously couldn't hear Brando's thoughts. On the contrary, their voices gradually became louder. Then Brando could barely distinguish the words 'Eco...', 'Chaplis...' and '
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at words like "Necklace...". That young man named Eco is still in Chablis? It seems that Reddy knows this, and Macaro the Maned Wolf has no reason not to know, but
There are really many problems within this mercenary group, he couldn't help but think.
However, he still didn't understand why this white-haired young man would come out in the middle of the night to discuss an issue that had nothing to do with the current 'plot mission'.
He couldn't help but raise his head and looked through the gaps between the leaves above his head. The Blood Star had appeared in the middle of the sky - this star was the most punctual way of keeping track of the night in Eruinsha, which meant that the time was almost close to midnight.
