Act Fourteen: The Battle for the Lumberyard (1)

Act 14: The Battle for the Lumber Mill (1)

While the three chiefs were gathering their men, Brando sent someone to find a guide from the slums.

When the ragged man was fetched from the shack south of Fir City, he was still uneasy and worried that working for this strange lord would cause trouble - he had inquired about what was happening in the inner city before he came.

The commotion that night was so loud that even if Antitina wanted to hide her method, it was impossible - but she couldn't resist the temptation of money and the persuasion of her woman. After much hesitation, the man agreed to join the team. Because that person

The generous young noble promised to give him a gold coin as a reward. He might not be able to earn such a large amount of money after working for a year - but with this money, he could send his child to a workshop in the inner city.

Being an apprentice may change your family's destiny.

So when Brando asked a question, he carefully told the other person: The forest south of Fir City has always been called the Bearman Forest. It's not that there is the kind of 65 in the forest that makes Brando's scalp numb just thinking about it.

Super monster, but there are a lot of wild bears in the forest. The four sawmills are all located in the forest. The three deep in the center of the forest are occupied by cavemen, and the remaining one was also abandoned after being destroyed by workers. Then Gru

Ding once sent his private army into the forest to clear out the underground residents, but after suffering two severe losses, the Baron never mentioned the matter again.

Brando nodded after hearing this, as he expected.

It has been more than an hour since I left Fir City.

The further south we go, more trees gradually appear in the wilderness. The forest stretching from east to west is like a huge shadow, lying in front of the mercenaries - the young man is sitting on the horse, holding one hand tightly

Holding the reins, he watched the mercenary in front of him pull out a loose line and enter the woodland dotted with black pine and red pine trees. The figure's longing figure quickly disappeared into the shadows between the trees.

"Hey," a slightly raised girl's voice interrupted the guide behind Brando and sighed: "Are cavemen that powerful?"

Brando couldn't help but raise his eyebrows subconsciously. He didn't know how Roman appeared. Anyway, not long after the team left the city, this business lady wandered into his field of vision uninvited.

"Then again, isn't this guy counting supplies and checking the account notes left by previous generations of lords?" The corner of his mouth twitched, "So, who told her that he was going out of the city to find those cavemen?

The troublesome——"

"Really, miss," the man said loudly, "I heard from the guards in the city that they look a bit like mice. Although they have no eyes, they can tell the direction by smell and sound, and they are extremely powerful and move quickly.

Quickly, ordinary people are no match for them, even the Baron's men need two or three people to attack them before they can deal with a caveman."

Roman tapped his chin with a white finger, raised his head and pictured the other party's appearance in his mind, "In this case, don't they take advantage at night?" she asked to herself.

"Yeah," Antitina looked at Roman in embarrassment, a little embarrassed to tell Brando that in fact, she was fooled by the business lady's pretense of being dumb and a few words to let her know.

Their actions. Until now, she still doesn't understand whether this 'Lord's fiancée' did it by accident, or whether she was plotting against her from the beginning. But no matter which way, she can't accept it: "Not just at night, but also at night."

In this kind of forest where visibility is not high, their advantage is far greater than that of us humans. Unless we are Black Iron-level soldiers, it will be difficult to detect the other party in advance before the other party finds us."

She turned back and said to Brando: "Sir, we have entered the forest, should we send out scouts?"

Brando shook his head. He knew very well that the caveman warriors had 15 strength and 10 dexterity. Both strength and dexterity were in the middle and upper reaches of black iron. The average black iron mercenary was not their opponent at all. "In order to maintain the fir tree,

Regarding the city's defense, there are only about four regiments of mercenaries accompanying me out of the city this time. I don't plan to split them up further." The young man stared in the direction of the forest and replied: "Besides, compared with these cavemen, what do you think?

Who knows this forest better?"

When Brando spoke, he unconsciously took on the habit of Amber Sword. In the past game, there were 80 players in a group, so he actually meant to say more than 300 people. But the noble daughter did not notice him at the moment.

On the contrary, she was surprised by this slip of the tongue, "Of course they are cavemen," Antitina was stunned: "Sir, you mean... no scouts are needed? But this..." She had not heard about the two armies.

During the battle, one party completely gave up on battlefield reconnaissance. The noble girl's dark eyes flashed: "Magic?"

she asked tentatively.

"Almost." Brando glanced from left to right. As his thoughts moved slightly, the wind spirit spiders crawled out of the ground one by one - the mercenaries around saw these cyan spiders surrounded by whirlwinds.

They were all surprised when the spiders suddenly appeared around them, but they had already seen these little things when fighting Madara's undead army, and knew that they obeyed the orders of the young lord in their center - so they could be considered allies.

After the brief commotion, the crowd quickly calmed down, but these people still looked at the center of the team with awe.

In this era of Eruin, having a gold-level wizard under a noble can definitely be regarded as a status symbol. Princes such as Grand Duke Anlek and Grand Duke Karasu only have two or three golds at their disposal.

A level wizard serves as his staff. But as a descendant of a family, Brando not only has a gold-level mentor wizard accompanying him - Charles has now become the natural leader among the spellcasters commanded by Brando in Fir City.

The leader of the wizard group is naturally known to everyone among the young people's followers - and in addition to this, it is said that he is also a gold-level swordsman, and he has a gold-level swordsman under his command.

Medissa walks with Akane.

Even if it is Count Jean Denel, the high-end strength around him is nothing more than this.

Moreover, you must know that the girl named Medissa is the legendary Silver Elf. The Silver Elf has not appeared in this land for centuries. You can imagine the shock caused by their sudden appearance in people's field of vision.

Not to mention the rumors circulating among ordinary mercenaries about the close relationship between Brando and the Silver Elf, even the three grand leaders of Juta, Fern and Kerenthia are increasingly feeling that they cannot see through this young man.

. And it is precisely because of this that they are determined to stay and fight with Brando against the Jeandenelle family - otherwise, simply because of Brando's identity as Viscount, they would rather fall into the black forest.

At least there is a chance of survival if you choose the latter path.

Of course Brando has heard of these rumors, and he also knows that these news were actually released by Roman and Antitina. The meticulousness of the noble daughter and the novel ideas of little Roman are combined together, and there are all kinds of

There are always some weird ideas. He won't clarify them. Anyway, this is exactly the effect he wants to achieve. This is exactly what he did before, but now he has been imitated by his two little staff.

.

Brando took out the Holy Sword Card from his arms without saying a word. The next moment, the 'Dragon Cavalry' that had shown its prowess in the battle with Madara's undead army appeared again among the mercenaries.

In front of me. This is the second time Brando has used this set of cards in front of people. Juta, Kerenthia and Fern who saw all this behind them couldn't help but change their expressions - Fifty Silver-level Attacks

Power - They originally thought that those sylph spiders were the magic pets raised by Brando, but they did not expect that they were actually a spell. The strength of this spell is somewhat difficult to measure. If used properly, it can defeat a golden intermediate existence.

It doesn't seem impossible.

According to the common classification method of spells, this spell has at least the power of gold or above. But they all know that Brando is a swordsman.

A golden swordsman.

Now it seems that he is still a gold level summoner.

This is a bit surprising.

Brando waved his hand and issued an order in his mind to 'surround as far as possible and kill all non-human living creatures'. The cavemen must have sentry posts on the outskirts of the forest, and he must remove these sentry posts. Although he did not ask for it.

These cavemen didn't notice that the human army had entered the forest until the end, but they wanted to delay at least a little time. Then he raised his head and silently watched the sylph spiders open up the whirlwind surrounding them, and fly into the sky one by one.

He flew towards the forest with streaks of blue light. Then he turned around and happened to see the tiger sparrow also looking back from the direction of the forest.

"Sir, how are you going to fight?" Huque turned around and asked, "If the news is correct, there are thousands of cavemen in the forest. Their number is several times ours, and their individual combat power exceeds ours.

To be honest, I can’t think of how to fight this battle.”

"Don't be timid before fighting," Akane replied from behind: "Captain Tiger Sparrow."

"Captain?" Huque was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He chuckled and looked at Brando: "Miss Akane has thought about it and wants to join us?"

The red-haired girl nodded nonchalantly, and she also glanced at Brando: "I've thought about it, I have nowhere to go -"

"sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Qian smiled nonchalantly: "Let's listen to the lord's thoughts. I'm also curious about how such a battle should be fought. In the past, when Captain Macaro led the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, the most we had was

We only fought and won against opponents twice our size, but that time our opponents were just a group of robbers, which is nothing like the current situation."

"That's right," Roman swayed restlessly on the horse, making people worried that her little body might fall off at any time. She said: "Brando, Brando, what do you mean?

Cavemen have a keen sense of smell and hearing, so it would definitely be disadvantageous for us if we fight at night. In this case, we have to fight quickly."

When she said this, the three mercenary captains nearby could not help but increase their attention and get closer to the circle. Brando smiled in his heart when he noticed this, although he had never refused the entry of these external forces.

He is the core of this circle, but the three grand leaders are still instinctively wary of this young nobleman. In fact, it is precisely because of this that Brando never thought of reorganizing these mercenaries under him from the beginning.

Although this matter was imperative, if he seemed too impatient, it might cause misunderstanding and resistance from the other party - so he simply didn't mention it at all, waiting for the other party to lose patience and take the initiative to come to him.

This time fighting the cavemen is one of the opportunities.

"A quick victory is not that simple," Kerenthia shook her head, and while looking at Brando's face, she deliberately replied: "Although I have never dealt with cavemen, since I can make Grudin

We are obviously not a bunch of rabble. We are not afraid of embarrassment when we say it. Although our mercenaries are better in quality than Grudin's private soldiers, they are also limited, and the scale of the troops sent this time is far smaller than that of that one.

The baron once conquered the cavemen on a large scale."

"What should we do?" Roman blinked his eyes and asked curiously.

"The lord wants to pull out the opponent's sentry post," Antitina watched as the last sylph spider disappeared in the direction of the forest, and then looked away and fell on Brando, "I want to wait for the opponent's reaction.

Buy enough time before coming here?" She thought for a moment, "Lord, do you want to capture one of the sawmills in a lightning raid and then lure the cavemen to attack?"

Brando turned back, a hint of appreciation flashed in his brown eyes. Turning from offense to defense was indeed his idea.

"A good idea," Fern said with the same admiration flashing in his eyes, "but can it be successful?" asked the grand leader of the Firelands Chapter.

"The cavemen know where they have the advantage over us. If they lose during the day, they will definitely find a way to regain it at night." Brando replied, "At night, we are on the defensive side. They have the right time and we have the right location. Both sides have the right weather.

Offset each other. The rest depends on morale, combat effectiveness and the ability of the commanders on both sides." He seemed confident when he said this, but he knew that he did not have any tactical talent - in fact, this method is in the Amber Amber

In the sword, when Cruz and Jorgendigon were fighting, it was just a method that countless Cruz players had already used.

Although he had never dealt with cavemen, he knew this trick.

"But," Akane asked with some confusion, "What if they don't attack?"

"That's not right," Huque smiled, "Then we will attack in the daytime." But he turned around, "But the detection of troop strength and combat effectiveness is still a problem, Lord Lord."

Brando nodded and asked the guide to go ahead and lead the mercenaries to bypass the abandoned lumberyard and head directly to the nearest lumberyard occupied by cavemen. At the same time, he raised his head again and his eyes fell on

The sun, which was slowly sliding towards the west, replied: "This is indeed a problem, but I have already succeeded."
