Act 20 The Persuader

Act 20 The Persuader ()

Bresson sat down and glanced at Brando, deciding in his heart that this guy was lying. He and Brando were in the same militia when they were in Ankeze. Although they had not met during their time in Braggs, they knew each other roughly.

experience.

The son of a miller, even if his grandfather was a knight in the November War and his mother had some aristocratic blood, he would still have some surprising experiences. Then he was transferred to the garrison, and this boy was said to want to inherit his father's legacy.

But somehow he ended up in Butchi and stayed there for a year.

Obviously, it is unlikely that he will gain that knowledge this year, but if this kid wants to lie, he really has to consider whether he can deceive Madden. Brayson turned his head and glanced at his captain. Their

Although this old captain has a very bad temper and is stubborn, he is very shrewd and can expose ordinary lies in just a few words.

After all, the soldiers who could survive the November War from beginning to end were not simple people.

After Brayson sat down, another young man from the security team probably noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he started to add what Brayson had said before. He was talking about some details of the encounter from the day to the afternoon, and the surrounding people.

Occasionally, people nodded in agreement or added something. Among the group of people, only Brayson and the old captain remained silent.

The Madden whom Brando knew had a very bad temper, and would almost curse at anyone. However, he was calm at critical moments. This is the quality of a veteran. However, his silver-gray eyebrows occasionally moved slightly, showing his inner anxiety.

As for Brayson, he made up his mind to just sit on the sidelines.

As soon as Brando listened to their description, he knew who they were meeting. The army that followed Buchi should be the 'Corpse Witch' Roscoe. The Roscoe in the game is a very talented necromancer.

, this nickname was also given to him by the players. His talent is Corpse Witch - the summoned souls of the undead are easier to transform into Corpse Witch - so his army has a characteristic of replenishing its troops very quickly. Although it is not strong in attacking forts, it can

Tolerant, cunning, and good at using cannon fodder to consume the enemy and polish the enemy's morale.

At this time, Roscoe was probably just a necromancer apprentice. Brando guessed that his status in the Tagus attack sequence would not be more than that of a squadron leader. In fact, his guess was pretty close, but he never imagined that he and

He had already met the other party from afar - on the night he escaped from Butchi.

As for the other army, he didn't have to guess. In history, it was Kabasi who razed Qingcun. This skeleton was not famous in Madara in history, but he was senior and should have belonged to Tagus at this time.

One leader.

So the size of Roscoe's squadron should be more than two hundred, and there should be at least twenty corpse witches. As the main force, Kabasi should also concentrate at least one-fifth of Tagus' left wing. Such a large-scale

The army definitely cannot be just skeleton soldiers, there may be black warriors and pale knights.

Fortunately, the undead army wants to block several important roads in the forest, and the troops cannot be concentrated in one place. What the refugees encountered today should be half a squadron of Roscoe and a squadron of Kabasi, otherwise it would not be so easy.

Get away whole body.

Of course, Brando can't go into such detail, otherwise the source of the news will be very problematic. Those who could have been blamed on legends, anecdotes or stories before, and even the enemy's troop deployment is clearly known, this is too much.

It makes no sense. Being a prophet also requires skills.

He decided to start from the previous topic. He paused and said, "I don't know if you have heard of Anser, which is the base camp of the necromancers. In fact, Madara is divided into three factions.

One faction is vampires, and the other is necromancers. I won’t explain these two factions. You should have heard the legends about them. The remaining faction is also a powerful faction with considerable strength. We call them dark lords. They were

Robbers, bandits, criminal Templars, nobles expelled from the human world or undead wanderers, they believe in the Black Code and are the rulers of Madara in the traditional sense."

"It's very novel, but it's just a story." A member of the security team replied.

"No, you imagine that when one person unifies these three sects, Madara will resurrect from the darkness. Coincidentally, they have a prophecy about this."

"But you said before that this country has never been truly unified."

"It used to be, but this opportunity is now close at hand."

"But what does this have to do with us?"

"Of course, have you heard of the legend of the mercury cane?" Brando suddenly changed the topic.

"Is this the mercury cane that was said to unify the dark world if someone got it in the prophecy?" someone from the security team asked.

Brando nodded: "Its full name is 'Loki's Mercury Cane'. Let me tell you who Loki is. He is a genius necromancer who almost completed that great cause during his lifetime - unification.

Madala. However, the success fell short, and the whereabouts of the staff became a mystery, leaving only a legend that when someone gets it, he will become the king of the dark world again."

"But since this spring, some people have witnessed the mercury rod appearing in Anser."

"Wait a minute," Brayson's expression changed: "Is that rumor from a few months ago true?"

"months ago?"

"Ah, I remember, it seems that a businessman brought news over there, saying that someone with a strange cane opened some kind of gate."

"The Gate of Sighs." Brando added: "That is Loki's treasure house and where his throne is -"

The old guard captain frowned deeply: "Boy, although I don't understand the intrigues between those big shots, but you mean there are big changes in Madala? That's great, at least.

It means that Madara must be well prepared this time. Although it is not clear what their purpose is, at least it will not be a small-scale plunder or invasion? This sounds a bit ridiculous, but it does not seem impossible.

——”

He put his calloused hands on his knees, very close to his sword: "Brasen, do you know this young man?"

Brayson was stunned. He knew that as long as he opened his mouth to doubt at this time, although the captain would not immediately stab the boy with a sword, he would at least arrest him and make him unable to defend himself.

He couldn't help but glance at Brando gloomily, without concealing the sarcasm in his eyes. But after thinking about it, he didn't choose this way: "I know him, and I also think he is lying. But my reason is

And tell me, this person has no reason to deceive us——"

"What if he has been bribed by Madara?" Madden asked again.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it this way, but considering his and Freya's experiences, if Madara's commander can make such far-reaching arrangements, then I don't think I lost unjustly."

"Very good, Brayson boy." Madden patted his deputy on the shoulder.

Huh?

Not only Madden, but also Brando couldn't help but glance at the young deputy captain of the security. It seemed that this guy was not without merit. Of course, the impression of being hateful could not be changed, and he was too minded.

Being narrow-minded will not lead to great achievements. He spoke highly of the other party from a God's perspective. Of course, Brayson must know what Brando was thinking at the moment and would regret that he had said fair things before.

But in fact, it doesn't matter even if Brayson denies or slanders. Brando has his own way to convince Madden. As a person who has foresight about the future, he is already at a higher level after all.

It's just that it will inevitably waste a lot of words, and it may lead to some accusations.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic," Madden said: "Boy, so you think Madara's target is Fort Reeden?"

"In the Golan-Elsen area, the only line of defense that Eruin can rely on is the Vanmeer Fortress. And Fort Ryden protects the flanks of this line of defense, so Madara's target can only be Fort Ryden." Bran.

Nod more.

Madden couldn't help but rub his nose and cursed: "Then since Madara has made up her mind, it must not be some small character who bit us before? Damn it, why do we have to bear a lot of bad luck?

Son!"

"I don't know the specific situation," Brando couldn't explain clearly: "But judging from your description, the one that followed should be an undead army led by the necromancer. And the one that followed

It could be the army of the dark lord——"

"The army of the necromancer is based on the corpse witch. It is very easy to distinguish. From your description, it should be half a squadron in size. The dark lord is more chaotic, but judging from the troops reserved by Qingcun, at least it is

More than two squadrons."

"Absolutely." Madden nodded.

But he didn't know that Brando had already reduced the number by half, but even if he said half the number, everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried. For an army of the undead of this size, they had more than 30 members of the guard team and a group of old people.

How could a weak woman and child successfully break through?

The old captain also sighed: "Okay, Brando. Since you have come to tell us this, can I think that you already have an idea in your mind? I might as well explain it to you clearly. If the battle situation is really as you said, I have no idea.

I’m sure I can lead these people out and kill them.”

These words made Freya let out a low groan.

But Brando nodded: "I have a way."

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, even Brayson's eyes were somewhat distrustful, but still unavoidably shocked.

This made Brando take a nervous breath. After all, he had just gained some confidence, and receiving such attention still made the young man feel a sudden pressure. He suddenly realized what he was going to say next.

Every word you say may be related to the life and death of many people. Should I be more cautious?

He couldn't help but remind himself to calm down and never forget anything.

"Everyone can go north and cross the Dagger River Beach." He replied.

"Dagger Beach?"

"That place, why?"

Brando hesitated for a moment, how could he explain why in history the 'White Knight' Ebdon and the 'Ghoul' Wetton arrived at this place nearly two days late to encircle them?
