Scene 104: Tony Geer and the Young Lord (4) (Second update)
However, after a series of discussions about the seemingly crazy approach of putting wizards on the front line, Brando said that everyone found this to be an excellent strategy.
Because the role of wizards is not only to send back messages, but they are also far superior to ordinary people in hiding, clearing information, and avoiding pursuit.
But even so, Ciel only supports doing this in the early stages of the war, because it may have an unexpected effect, but once the opponent understands their method, the loss of every wizard will be unbearable.
Brando could only choose to accept this statement. He knew that Charles was right - of course he was right, but the time was wrong, and the largest demonic wave in history was far from coming.
Then Brando glanced at the mercenary who delivered the letter, took the letter, opened it and read it; but his expression became solemn almost instantly, almost cloudy, and seemed to be even grayer than the gray sky at this time of year.
It's ugly.
Akane and the little silver elf princess behind could not help but look at each other worriedly when they saw the young man like this. They had rarely seen Brando with such a solemn expression. What happened?
"Lord?" Medissa asked softly.
Brando shook his head.
The message in the letter is very simple. It just truthfully states that a clan of mountain people has appeared in Pallas. It can be said that if this letter is placed in the hands of any of Brando's men at this moment, it will probably not attract attention.
The word "mountain people" is already common in the territory of Gendenel. These aboriginal people are at war with 'outsiders' like Eruin almost all year round. Sir Pallas's dealings with them are not a matter of one or two years, but almost every year.
Most of my life.
If other people saw this message, they would probably be glad that the old knight was in trouble again, but this letter had a different meaning in Brando's eyes.
"It seems we have a new list of enemies to add."
The young lord smiled helplessly and handed the letter to Medisa, but the little silver elf princess just glanced at it. She was stunned for a moment and then asked:
"Mountain people? They are not the enemies of Count Jean Denel. My lord, you said that the Knights of Pallas have been fighting with them all year round. Why do they want to join them and attack us?"
Medissa asked with some confusion.
"The mountain people are divided into many branches. The clan mentioned in the letter comes from the east of Grahar Mountain. They have always been nominally subordinate to Count Gendenel and implemented self-government. However, the mountain people have a strong sense of territoriality. They are very
They will not migrate to other areas on a large scale, let alone leave their autonomous territory——"
"What?" Although Qian didn't know much about military affairs, she could hear something unusual in Brando's tone.
"I think they may not be here to celebrate the Sleeping Ceremony. I don't know what promise Denel made to these stubborn guys, but these mountain people must be here for us."
"It doesn't matter," Qian snorted softly: "It doesn't matter who comes, we will defeat them."
Brando only smiled after hearing this. He knew that the red-haired girl was just cheering him up.
Medissa was calmer: "Is it a big problem?" she asked.
Brando shook his head: "Of course it will increase the pressure on us, but it's hard to say how much exactly. I believe that the old fox Count Jean Denel must have mobilized more than one mountain clan."
He looked into the distance and saw that the snow had turned the street into a mist. "It seems that we have underestimated these 'beasts' that have been fighting all day long!"
Although Brando said it easily, he actually had no idea at the moment. God knows how many mountain people would enter Pallas, and perhaps the food supplies provided to these people would be a bottleneck——
But Brando didn't know how much supplies Denel could mobilize within his territory and within how long.
But no matter what, Pallas's army, mountain people, and Madara's undead.
The young man couldn't help but frown deeply.
"Do you want to inform Miss Antitina?" Medissa asked.
Brando shook his head, and Antitina stayed at the south gate. This noble daughter had to supervise the mercenaries to pay wages to the workers - the wages were settled in Hong Kong's cross copper coins - each person only had a few coppers.
That's all.
This money is not much, it is better than nothing, it can be said that it has greater symbolic significance. The noble daughter's original intention is to save this money, but it is part of Roman's entire revival plan, and the latter naturally cannot agree.
In the end, Antitina was so angry that she simply grabbed the guy and left him on the construction site. Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but smile and shook his head even though he was in a heavy heart.
He thought of how Roman had pretended not to know that he wanted to let him go, but unfortunately, he was dragged back by the serious noble lady who instructed Fuluo in the end.
The rich lady is different from him. Even if the latter pretends to have tears in her eyes, she can still remain unmoved - although Antitina is probably Roman's best friend besides Freya.
A close friend.
However, when it comes to official matters, the noble lady has no mercy at all.
As long as he thought about the little guy who often gave him headaches and had no choice but to look sad and helpless in front of Antitina, Brando felt sincerely very interesting.
At the beginning, he was still glad that he hid quickly, otherwise little Roman would definitely have to blame him. Although Antitina kept her promise to everyone else, she chose to take advantage of this young lord.
There is no way.
Thinking of this, he shook his head in amusement, and his mind returned to the matter at hand. The young man patted the letter in his hand: "Actually, I want to know more, who sent this information back?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Generally, people will not notice these mountain people, because they are too ordinary for this place. In other words, the people who sent back the information must have thought of the things we thought of." Brando was a little strange.
He knew this because he had knowledge and vision that transcended this world. In fact, if he hadn't said some relevant things to Charles during the chat, even the other party wouldn't have been able to read anything from this letter.
And besides him and Ciel, everyone else is even more so——
So who is the person who sent this letter back?
Brando was wondering, but for a moment he noticed that the elementalist in front of him was looking at him, as if he was hesitant to speak. The young man was slightly startled and asked: "Do you have anything else?"
"Yes, sir..." The elementalist looked a little weird and replied hesitantly: "Just now, Sir Charles sent me another letter, saying it was for you, sir."
"What's the matter with sending a follow-up envelope?" Brando asked with a frown, wondering what other tricks the guy was up to.
"Sir, do you want to see it?"
"Of course -" Brando said angrily, since he said it was for him, how could he not look at it? However, he stared at the elementalist with some confusion, and no matter how he looked at the other party's words, it seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Well," but the other party's expression became even weirder, "Sir, can you turn back first?"
Looking back? Which one is this?
Before Brando had time to react, he saw the gun shadow flash from his side, and Akane had already stretched out her spear and put it on the guy's neck.
"Take it out!" Qian said coldly.
The elementalist was stunned, or he was obviously frightened, and then he trembled, but with a grimace, he took out a strange creature from under his robe - this was his familiar.
Brando recognized the strange creature at just one glance, and of course everyone else did the same - because it was just a duck.
Using a duck as a familiar?
This time, not only Brando, but also Qian and Medisa were stunned.
One of these three people is an experienced player, one is the princess of the Silver Elf Empire, and the other is a mercenary who has participated in many battles. Most of them have dealt with various wizards, elementalists and even witches.
But even though they have seen all kinds of weird people.
But I have never seen a wizard using a duck as a familiar.
Brando was stunned for a long time, and then he reacted and nodded: "Very good, very personal." In his impression, there are more wizards who use all kinds of weird familiars, and most of the elemental users
Shouldn't elementalists use fairies as their familiars?
"Sir," the elemental user said with a frown: "This is none of my business. I didn't originally have a familiar. This thing... this thing was given to me by Sir Charles. He said it was made of ducks.
A familiar can bring luck."
"You are indeed very lucky." Brando had no choice but to face his eccentric follower. He shook his head and said, "What's your name?"
It was the first time he took a closer look at this guy. In fact, he was just a young man about the same age as him, and he was quite handsome. However, ever since he saw this guy taking out a duck as a familiar, he felt that he didn't think so.
Xingan, if you were born in his time and did not become a comedian, you would be a talentless person.
He looked back at Qian and Medisa. Qian was okay, but Medisa looked equally amused.
"Sir, I was just an apprentice before, and they all called me Porco Rosso."
"Porco Rosso?"
"That's the name of a kind of magical beast in my hometown——"
Brando understood. He also remembered that kind of monster that was over level 30. It had a violent temper and rough skin. Few people were willing to deal with that thing.
He looked at the duck in the opponent's hand again, coughed, and said a little funny: "How about this, you can follow me from now on - I just need an apprentice."
"Sir, do you need an apprentice?" The elemental user was stunned: "Sir, are you a wizard?"
"No," Brando shook his head: "I am an elementalist. Anyway, don't ask nonsense, just follow me -"
use element?
No matter how stunned that person is, the elementalists can usually sense each other's presence, especially the high-ranking elementalists who have an innate pressure on lower-level beings.
But he didn't feel such pressure from the young lord at all - there was only one possibility, and that was that the other party was weaker than him, or about the same as him.
But this element of possibility makes the apprentice dare not even think about it. The other party is the legendary all-powerful lord. He has only seen this lord from a distance a few times before, but the other party's mysterious and powerful
He had heard the legend many times.
But isn’t the opponent a swordsman in the golden realm according to legend? Why did he become an elementalist again?
The young man nicknamed "Red Pig" became more and more confused the more he thought about it.
But Brando just waved his hand to him. He did need an apprentice - but not just an apprentice, but to prepare for another of his plans. It seems that this plan must now be put on the agenda.
The appearance of mountain people as enemies inexplicably made Brando feel urgent.
"That's it," he said, and glanced at the young man: "From now on, you follow me, and I will give you a name—just call it Mordenkainen—"
