That's impossible. Brando knows something that will have a great impact on his future plans. Therefore, whether it is to stock up on food or to verify that idea, he must go to the place that may have been occupied by Madara.
of villages.
So he thought for a while and asked calmly: "If I don't go, do you know how to start? Infiltration and search are not things that can be taken for granted. They require careful planning and prior investigation."
In the past, infiltration and search were the strengths of those who invested a lot of training in the shadows, such as nightingales and hunters. As a warrior, Brando didn't know much about them, but after all, he also
These people have formed teams together and gone on missions. He can be much better than these militiamen based on this memory alone.
Freya shook her head. It's not that she didn't understand, but Brando's injury was too serious: "You can tell us what to do, and please leave the rest to us -"
Brando was not surprised by Freya's rejection. He knew that at this time he had to choose the method of persuasion that he was good at. For example, the wisdom of a senior warrior: "Roman."
"exist!"
"Give me your sword." He spread his hands to one side.
"No, Brando." Roman held the sword in both hands and handed it to him confidently.
"Thanks."
Brando took the sword, took a breath and tried his best to adjust his condition to the best. He was in a weak state below 40% of his health, and the rotten corpse poison prevented him from flexibly using the other 20% of his power. In other words,
The power he can use is only 0.6 energy levels at most.
Approximately equivalent to a fourteen-year-old boy.
"We don't have much time. In order to prove my ability to participate in this expedition, we might as well use an ancient and traditional method to decide." He pulled out his sword: "The way of conversation between warriors."
Our protagonist looked around and found that everyone had an expression as if they had heard something wrong. Martha is on top. Freya is the well-deserved number one in swordsmanship among the militiamen in Buchi. Even Essen is hers.
The general was defeated.
Brother, do you really know how bad your current situation is? They all raised this question in their minds.
"Brando, don't be kidding." Freya said angrily. She was quite confident in her swordsmanship. If Brando defeated her in this state, he thought he had experienced the November War.
Veteran?
Brando said nothing and only made a "please" gesture with his long sword.
The ponytail girl was so angry that her vision almost went dark. She thought that there should be a limit to life and death, but it seemed that the reality was not what she thought. She gritted her silver teeth and made up her mind to teach Brando a lesson with reality.
Freya straightened up her sword and made a vertical slash without even thinking about it. Her basic skills were very good, her sword was very stable and brought out a thin blade wind.
Brando blocked with his sword, and the huge force from the sword almost dislocated his wrist. However, he immediately passed the sword blade and cut it against Freya's blade; the young man's strength was not enough.
It was big, but it shocked Freya - because before she entered the attack range, the opponent's sword almost reached her guard.
Although she was unwilling to give in, the female captain of Mawei could only return without success.
In fact, it was not unjust for her to suffer a loss. Brando's move is very famous among warrior swordsmanship. It comes from Cruz's battle formation swordsmanship and is called Cato's reverse cut in the game. This is an advanced fighting swordsmanship, although now Brando also
You can only rely on the body's original swordsmanship skills to perform in the same way, but it is enough to deal with a half-skilled swordsman like Freya.
Brando remembered that he had learned this trick from a mercenary after traveling thousands of miles at the cost of two barrels of Madara's bone wine.
Now it seems that these two barrels of bone wine are worth it.
Freya retreated. In order to deal with Brando's ensuing attack, she held the sword with both hands and gritted her teeth, pressing the opponent's sword to one side. Her reaction was quick, but not smart enough. Because Brando had already stepped away,
By the time she reacted, the sword in his hand was already pointing at her chest.
Freya gritted her teeth, swung the hilt of Brando's sword away with her backhand, and then chased with her sword. But for Brando, this sword was out of order, and she did it purely because she refused to admit defeat.
With just one move, he knocked lightly, and the opponent lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
dusty.
"It seems that I have convinced you." Brando retracted his sword and replied calmly.
Freya raised her head, with disbelief on her face.
Not just her, there were nine members of the Butchi militia team present. Except for Roman, who still had a dull look in his eyes. Is that still the swordsmanship of the militia? It is not inferior to those veterans in the regular army, right?
"how come?"
"It's not surprising. I am the best swordsman among the 33rd Bragg militia." Brando replied casually: "Then it's you, little Phoenix, let us solve your problem."
Little Phoenix looked panicked and shook his head quickly: "I, I'd better not go, you go."
This kid. Brando couldn't help but shake his head.
…
After agreeing on a time to return and a meeting place with the others, Brando, Freya, and Essen quickly set out on the road. Time was running out, forcing them to race against time.
Qingcun is about east of Che Lake, so the distance is not too far. Especially when the three of them go all the way deep, through the dense canopy of trees, they can also see several gray smoke columns in the eastward sky becoming increasingly colorful.
Deep - the sky is getting dark, which doesn't look like a good sign.
Based on Brando's memory and suggestions, they approached the area that Madala might occupy from the north of the village, and it turned out that his guess was correct. The undead army had just swept through here, leaving only a piece of scorched earth.
Looking at the village below where the flames were rising in the embers and the smoke was billowing, even Freya's last glimmer of hope was shattered. Madara's army did seem to be in front of them, so they had to catch up and arrive.
Lidenberg also became a luxury. She couldn't help but glance at Brando, wondering what the young man was thinking.
But Brando hid in a bush and stared at the groups of skeleton soldiers passing by outside the woods. He carefully counted the trees in the bushes in front of him. He counted to the twelfth tree and wrote down the appearance of that tree -
—
Qingcun, the twelfth beech tree to the south in the grove. He remembered clearly that there should be a key buried under it. In the game, it was an independent mission, which allowed him to enter a tomb in the village.
He remembered who should have unearthed that mission, it seemed like a priest? But it didn't matter anymore, because he knew it was the tomb of a Templar, and if everything was in line with the development of the game, there should be some good things in it.
Something. But his target is the sword in the tomb - the Thorn of Light.
It was a sword infused with the power of light. When used at his current level, he was equivalent to a small undead slayer. Of course, he could only imagine the legendary artifact behind it.
After confirming this, Brando turned back, pointed to the outside of the woods and said to the two people around him: "Did you see it?"
"What did you see?" Essen and Freya were both stunned.
"The number of skeletons patrolling, two, four, it seems that there are two detachments of Madara in the village now." Our protagonist replied seasonedly: "Twenty-two to twenty-four skeleton soldiers, two
A corpse witch."
"So many!" Essen was startled.
"Fortunately, this is not the point. The point is that they control the cemetery and the square. The corpse witches left behind will definitely use spiritualism there, and they will receive a steady supply of troops. This is what we must be careful about."
Brando continued.
"This is desecrating the dead!" Freya clenched her fist angrily.
"Indeed, but they have this right." He sighed, then pointed to the forest not far away and said: "See over there, that pasture? You can use the shadows of those fences and shrubs to sneak in.
There should be a cellar under the barn on that ranch. It's not difficult to find, and it shouldn't have been burned down - you can hide there until it gets later in the day before we come out."
The girl nodded subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong: "How do you know?"
"I stayed here for a while." Brando replied smoothly. He didn't lie, but he was just not in this world.
"Then, what are we going to do?" Essen asked.
"Wait for me there, and I will come to you at night. Those monsters should be focusing on awakening skeletons and will not come to trouble you for the time being. If they really attract attention, you should pay attention to your breathing and heartbeat - undead
I can see your vitality." Brando warned little by little.
"Wait, aren't you with us?" Freya grasped this detail keenly.
"I have my own things to do."
"You -" she was about to speak, but she saw the young man patting his sword, meaning - don't forget that you have been persuaded by me. But how can that count? Freya
She opened her mouth to retort, but Essen on the side held her back, signaling her to be careful of the skeleton soldiers patrolling Madara below.
"Do you believe me?" Brando asked quietly.
Freya shook her head, but hesitated and nodded again.
"That's fine, just go now. Don't worry, I will come back safely." He replied seriously.
Freya glanced at him and hesitated to speak. But in the end she was reluctantly pulled away by Essen. Brando watched them pass through a beautiful forest and hide in the bushes below, and then walked along a section of fence.
After passing the long meadow, I finally sneaked into the pasture smoothly.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Brando turned back and looked at the bushes below. A kind of nervousness suddenly enveloped his heart. This would be his first adventure in this world alone. It might look the same as before, but in this situation
There is no failure here, only death.
Speaking of which, he is actually more willing to act with Freya and the others, but how to explain the key? It can't be said that he came here to bury it before. This kind of clumsy lie probably can't even be deceived by Essen.
Not to mention the attentive Freya.
After weighing the situation, he decided to act alone.
"It doesn't make any difference, old man. Just treat it like cutting it off and practicing again." He rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but cheer himself up in his heart.
