Six black, cold stone bridges rose from under Charles' short staff and slammed into the wall of the inner city. After a while, the mountains shook, and Grudin's knights staggered up from behind the wall, trembling fearfully.
They found that the road between them and their opponents was smooth - there was no obstacle anymore.
The battlefield was silent for a moment, as if a silent angel flew over everyone present, rendering them speechless.
But the young wizard took back his cane, stood back, then raised his head and smiled at the ashen-faced knights on the city wall.
At that moment, the dull sound of horse hooves sounded from behind him——
The cavalry among the mercenaries had already galloped out from behind Charles, passing the young wizard in an instant, and they rushed onto the rock bridge. The cavalry moved forward, and the long sword in the hands of the young lord behind them also moved toward
In front - the tip of the long sword in Brando's hand reflects the cold light of the stars, motionless - as if in response to the same command:
Attack and destroy the enemy!
The ground rumbled, and the noble knights finally changed their expressions. A large number of mercenaries crowded onto the city wall, but Brando's summons were faster than them. The young man had discarded his cards and reset two of them before fighting with Kabai.
Si, the Holy Archangel who was seriously injured in Bai's battle, while he fished out Medisa's card from the cemetery, he ordered the Holy Archangel to attack - the angel of light flapped his wings from above.
He passed over everyone's heads and flew to the city wall in an instant. With a flash of sword light in his hand, heads were already rolling to the ground. Although the strength of Bai Yin's upper class was not worth mentioning in front of Kabasi and Bai, it was not worth mentioning in front of these noble knights.
It was an insurmountable mountain. Centered on its foothold, the knights retreated one after another. Their only option seemed to be to flee in panic. A large number of knights had to turn around and push and rush down the tower.
Soon, a gap was opened in the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Bai snorted coldly. Without saying a word, he dragged Grudin into the castle. For him, whether these humans were dead or alive had nothing to do with him, as long as he ensured that the
As long as Grudin is intact. Of course, the same situation falls in the eyes of Brando, who is paying attention to this place anytime and anywhere. He smiled: This guy Bai still doesn't understand human nature!
The young man lowered his head and whispered something to Akane beside him. The girl was startled for a moment, glanced at him, and then walked away with doubt. Not a moment after she left, shouts of one after another rang out on the battlefield:
"The Baron has escaped!"
"The Baron has escaped!"
When the shouts rang out, the few noble soldiers who were still resisting at the top of the city were slightly startled. They couldn't help but look back to find traces of Grudin, but the result was as you can imagine, the battle line finally wavered at this moment.
This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. After discovering that they had lost their lord, Grudin's knights all collapsed, or in other words, they only resisted for a while and then gave up completely.
The situation gradually became clear, and the mercenaries poured into the tower like a torrent, and they lowered the drawbridge - Brando then led people into the castle, because for him: there was still a final battle.
…
The castle is dark and obscure, and the corridors seem to be endless and go downwards in a spiral shape. However, perhaps Grudin thought that only he knew where the secret passage of Fir Castle was, but unfortunately, this was nothing to Brando.
. This is the innate advantage of his soul on the other side. Just like when the Baron and Madara's undead general entered the hall where the secret passage was, the young man also followed them.
Both parties entered the hall at the same time.
The two sides also stopped when they saw each other - Brando, Qian and Charles at one end, Grudin and Bai at the other end - the Baron obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. He at that moment
The whole person was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had been betrayed by someone. For a while, the two parties were separated by a long table, and neither of them moved.
The hall was still the same hall, as if the same scene as the previous day had reappeared, and even the atmosphere was so strikingly similar.
Under the eerie silence, the air flow in the hall even tended to stop——
However, Brando raised his head, glanced at the beautiful red crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and couldn't help but think of the amazing similarity in history. It was just that he chose to compromise here the day before, but now he wants to take it back
What he had lost. Then he lowered his head and looked at Grudin and the undead knight standing in front of him.
Bai Ye looked at them quietly, seemingly not surprised.
The undead knight raised his right hand and used a huge scythe to stop Grudin behind him, and replied: "Human, you are much better than I thought; I am surprised that Eruin still has a lower-class noble like you.
——”
The sound was hollow, like a layer of paint peeling off and rusting on metal.
Brando shook his head.
"Okay, don't waste time, Tiamas," he interrupted the guy: "You understand, whose life I am here to take. I know I can't keep you, but don't think that you can take this person away."
Lord Baron of Eruin."
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words.
There was a loud sound from under the metal mask and a sneer: "I don't know who you are, let's just assume you are Lord Viscount. But Mr. Viscount, I remember that in your human world, the rules among nobles are not like this."
"The person behind me is the local lord, a noble baron. The noble blood flowing in his family can even be traced back to the previous dynasty among you. But today, Lord Viscount, please tell me, now you want to
Take action against one of the members of this glorious family and set a precedent for a bloody massacre between nobles?"
"Of course I can put my hands down," Bai shrugged: "But if I put my hands down, do you dare to kill him?"
Grudin stood behind the undead general, his face gloomy.
"The honor of the kingdom will not fall on traitors."
"But it's not the rule of your game to kill the fish or lose the net."
Brando smiled slightly: "If just Earl Denel is enough to kill me, then what am I doing here?"
Bai was slightly startled.
"What a loud tone." Baron Grudin finally had the opportunity to interject a sentence. He almost said this sentence between his teeth: "You are just Count Jean Denel, I don't know where your confidence comes from.
Viscount Gonstin."
"Did I ask you to speak?" Brando looked at him.
The young man's cold gaze pierced into Grudin's heart like a knife. His pupils shrank slightly and he immediately became silent.
Madara's undead general clapped his hands: "What a spirit," a metallic voice came from under the mask. "The Colonians (*) said that smart people must learn to find the balance between thinking and doing things.
A balance. Mr. Viscount, especially as a decent nobleman, I think Baron Grudin has learned the lesson he deserves. I think it’s better to just call it a day. Everyone has room to turn around.”
(*Residents of the area between Grace and St. Osol, the Kingdom of the Knights of the Church, are also the main ethnic group of Grace)
"The Lonians also said, blood for blood, tooth for tooth." Charles added with a smile behind Brando.
"It's worth shedding. After all, it's not your blood, sir."
"Indeed, but the dignity of a noble is not innate." Brando replied coldly.
White silence.
But the young man also frowned, because in his impression, the Black Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has never been a person who talks nonsense. On the contrary, he and the White Knight Alberton are notoriously taciturn.
, decisive in doing things, and likes to do things rather than talk. But now Bai's performance is exactly the opposite of what he knows. Brando definitely doesn't think it is because Bai's personality at this moment has changed a lot since then.
Then there is only one reason left.
Is Grudin so important? I just don’t know what kind of agreement has been reached between Madara and the Rendenel family! But what makes him even more suspicious is the other party’s purpose of delaying time here.
But the best way to break through unknown traps is to prevent the other party from getting what they want.
Brando simply said nothing. He stretched out his right hand, put his white glove on the sword, and pressed it lightly. He took a step forward. As soon as he moved, the cold momentum crossed half of the hall in an instant——
Bai didn't move at all, but Grudin behind him took three steps back and almost fell to the ground. The baron of the kingdom finally stood firm with a red face. He gritted his teeth and looked at Brando, feeling in his heart
But he was full of disbelief. Although he himself was just a swordsman with strong black iron strength, he could still feel the true strength that Brando had exploded before - he had become stronger again!
Grudin couldn't believe that a person could become so much stronger in one day and overnight. Of course, he couldn't guess that it was a sensory illusion brought about by the twenty-two elementalist levels. The only possibility he could think of was the other party.
He must have been hiding his strength before.
He immediately told Bai Bai of this discovery. The black knight nodded, and then looked at Brando with a playful look——
Kabasi's report is infallible.
But Grudin should not lie to him now, not to mention that he had experienced it just now. So who should he believe?
However, the undead general of Madara remained calm on the surface and just asked: "Mr. Viscount, don't you think twice before you act?"
"Tiamas, it's not good for you to interfere in things between humans." Brando shook his head holding the sword: "You understand, you can't leave with Grudin. In this case, why bother with me?
This is a meaningless battle, get out of the way, I know this is not your habit——"
Bai Ke shook his head.
He watched Brando step closer, pressed the Baron back with the giant scythe to keep a distance, and then said: "For Mr. Viscount, this battle is indeed unnecessary. But for me, it is different.
Although Madara has never had a tradition of forming alliances with the living - there is a first time for everything, and it would not be a good reputation for us to abandon our allies the first time."
He smiled under the mask: "Besides, you are right. Surrounded by powerful enemies, it is a little difficult for me to protect the Baron--"
"Mr. Tiamas!" Grudin was startled, his face turned pale, and he asked hurriedly.
