"It's inexplicable." The female mercenary leader swept her hair back from her forehead. She looked at the mercenaries who were cleaning up the battlefield in the lumberyard and couldn't help but said: "I really don't know what we are fighting for.
,only……"
She sighed, "This result is barely acceptable."
Fern glanced at her and nodded.
"That young man is indeed outstanding, as a nobleman," he replied: "I have been disappointed with the nobles since I left Karasu's army, but now it seems that he has changed my mind a little. In fact, as a
For mercenaries, it is not necessarily a good thing to become a retainer of a noble, but it is probably because they are being coerced by the other party, and there is inevitably a trace of reluctance in their hearts."
"Hmph!" Kerenthia snorted coldly. The silver-haired middle-aged man looked back at the two of them and said bluntly: "Actually, it's just that the expectations in my heart are inconsistent with the reality. If it was Grudin instead of
I don’t think you may be willing to accept this young man’s recruitment. It’s just that our young lord’s foundation is still shallow, and you and I can see that he just wants to use our strength to achieve his goals..."
"Thinking about it this way, it is inevitable to arouse suspicion," he said: "If he just uses my people as bargaining chips, I will definitely not let him get his wish."
"But Grudin is the leader of the party after all, but what this young man does is a bit unique," Fern replied: "No matter how I view them personally, I must be responsible for my men.
"
After listening to the conversation between the two, Yuta snorted lightly and turned away. She was different from these two people. The purpose of establishing her mercenary group was just to unite against the oppression of the nobles - but let
When she was disappointed, she finally had to deal with those dirty nobles.
In the past, it was to protect her only sister, but now she has also lost her. The female mercenary leader sighed, feeling a little confused, not knowing what goals she had left. But in any case, what Kerenthia said still made her
Unable to agree.
Then the three people stopped talking subconsciously, and they all looked outside the lumberyard. Huque and his cavalry were slowly walking in from the outside - the young lord had arrived.
Every mercenary subconsciously stopped what they were doing at this moment and raised their heads to look in that direction. Evaluating a person's ability among mercenaries is very simple, that is, whether the leader can lead them to victory.
Brando has twice led everyone to miraculous victories in disadvantaged situations. Even the mysterious rumors circulating in private about the young lord have deepened his aura, and everyone understands that it may be them.
The people they wanted to follow in the future had a certain purpose, and the three of them, Kerenthia and Juta, did not hinder this realization.
In fact, even they themselves felt that they couldn't see clearly where the whole thing would take them since that night's battle in Fir City, but in any case, if they left Brando, they would probably have to enter the Black Forest.
A unique and powerful lord who can also bring them victory. Although the shadow of Earl Denel hangs in everyone's mind like a dark cloud, there is at least one hope:
If Brando can bring them victory again and again despite being at a disadvantage, then who can predict what will happen in the future? Even the three grand leaders have a faint sense of blind expectation in their hearts.
Kerenthia looked at the people gathered on all sides. He had no doubt that these mercenaries would cheer when Brando rode into the lumberyard. The mercenaries were always willing to pay the highest respect to their heroes.
A life of swordsmanship and swordplay has developed these people's rugged and passionate character.
But when Huque and his riders rode into the lumberyard, everyone was stunned.
Where is Brando?
After the team, except for the dignified and calm noble daughter, and the young lady Shang who seemed to be fearless, swaying on the horse, there was no trace of their lord.
"What's going on?" Jutta was the first to step forward and asked.
Antitina glanced at her. This was not the first time that the two of them had dealt with each other. However, the sophistication of the female mercenary leader still did not take any advantage in front of the noble daughter. Antitina just replied lightly:
"My lord, please let everyone set up defenses. The cavemen may gather and attack in the middle of the night." She replied: "The silence spell cannot work again and again. My lord, please don't be stingy with the wizards among you.
At the spell position, strengthen and raise the surrounding fences as much as possible, and be sure to complete all this before the Witch Throne rises into the night sky."
Juta was stunned, and suddenly realized something. She raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but then Fern, the grand leader of the Fire Legion, came up from behind her and patted her shoulder to tell her to calm down. This tall man
The man raised his head and looked at Antitina on the horse, and replied: "Miss Staff, when will the lord come back? He is the only one here who is most familiar with the tactics and habits of the cavemen. Without him, we may not be able to survive at night.
Come down-"
"As long as I'm here," Antitina replied: "The lord said that if you can survive tonight, he can give you a victory."
"Surviate tonight," Kerenthia frowned: "It's easy to say, Miss Staff. Judging from the previous battles, the number of cavemen in this forest may be far more than a thousand. I don't believe them.
It is unreasonable to station nearly one-third of the people in a lumber camp on the outermost edge, especially for a group that fights all year round."
Antitina's expression remained unchanged: "Captain, nothing can happen without paying a price."
Roman added with a smile: "For businessmen, risks and opportunities coexist. But my aunt said that the difference between people is that smart people are bold and cautious - the aunt also said
, little Roman will also become a smart person."
After hearing this, Kerencia didn't reply, but she didn't object either, which was regarded as acquiescing to the other party's statement.
"What do you think?" Jutta turned her head and asked Fern in a low voice.
"What else can we do?" Fern replied: "The young man doesn't believe us - but it can be seen that he is telling us that he is willing to believe us. Now the choice has been given to us. As for what to do
Choosing—it’s not a matter of decision.”
The veteran smiled slightly: "What a confident guy. He is completely different from the arrogance of those bullshit nobles."
"How do you say that?" The female mercenary leader was stunned.
"It means that he doesn't agree with our idea." Fern replied: "We think he needs to rely on us, but the young noble is telling us that it's okay with us and without us, but we still give him
We have a chance to choose..."
"Hate." Juta glared at Antitina angrily: "You are really arrogant, I hope he can put an end to it. If we hold on here all night, he can bring us victory without spending a single soldier.
, do you really think he is Renjun Eke?" She snorted softly.
Fern shook his head, knowing full well that the red-haired female mercenary leader was talking about Ek's allusion to conquering the mountain people, but he seemed to have something in mind and did not answer any more.
…
No one knows where Brando is at this moment.
At this moment, both sides were mobilizing intensively. Tajib asked his tribesmen to divide into two groups and start to gather through the bear forest. Countless cavemen and bugbears were walking along the mountain stream. From a distance, the mountains and plains were covered with gray.
one slice.
There are also some goblin knights among the monsters. These guys are not underground creatures, but are just alliances between nearby goblin tribes and cavemen——
However, these unsavory creatures were regarded as invisible in Brando's eyes. He leaned on the trunk of a beech tree with one hand and looked down the hillside. He saw the caveman army converging into a gray line in the valley.
Long dragon.
"There are so many." The red-haired girl stood quietly behind him. When her amber eyes reflected this scene, she couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "There must be more than a thousand here. I know that the baron must not have done anything.
You know exactly how many opponents you have, that idiot."
Brando nodded. It has been almost a few hours since he and Qian rode the silver war horse and landed in this area. They came here after chasing the scattered cavemen-these came from the underground of Jorgendigang, in the dark.
Creatures that have lost their sight may not know that there are two people and a horse tracking their tracks several miles away in the sky.
In fact, this is also a natural disadvantage of the Qiaogendigang underground creatures in the surface world. These creatures that are accustomed to living in darkness are often unable to adapt to the sunlight during the day. They either have no vision and rely on blindness, or they have limited vision during the day.
It is difficult to find things in the sky.
And you must know that almost all the main reconnaissance units in the surface world of Warnd are flying in the sky.
The young man raised his head, and the faint color of the clouds reflected in his eyes. It was still early in the day, and the cavemen might not be able to assemble to attack the lumber camp until late at night.
"Such a huge number," Akane frowned as she looked down the valley: "In a head-on battle, even Captain Macaro would probably be helpless..." She raised her head and looked at Brando: "But what should we do?
"
"Well, it seems that the caveman tribe is at the hazelwood sawmill in front." Brando asked in an unexpected manner.
"Huh?" The red-haired girl turned around in surprise.
"We start from here and can't get closer from the sky. I didn't expect these cavemen to also recruit the nearby goblins." Brando said.
"Lord, what do you think?" A trace of surprise flashed in the amber eyes: "Isn't that too bold?"
"Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've done this." Brando turned around and smiled: "But I need your help, Qian."
Akane sighed.
"It's an order, Lord."
"Okay, as you wish." Brando took a closer look at the girl with a red ponytail and nodded: "I order you to help me, Qian."
"So?" The red-haired girl raised her head.
"There is an old saying in my hometown," Brando replied: "To capture the thief, capture the king first."
