Because he did not deliberately conceal himself, Brando was discovered by the guards when he passed through the atrium on the first floor. After he killed three people, the seven-man patrol fled in all directions and took the intruder's information to every corner of the castle.
There are thirty-two guards in Yuson Castle, most of whom are mercenaries. The captain is a mercenary leader from Gendenel. He is highly skilled in martial arts. He not only has the strength of a mid-range black iron swordsman but also has a commanding mind.
Therefore, Brando encountered an ambush when he entered the banquet hall on the second floor. Eleven guards participated in the ambush. As soon as he opened the door, the hall in his mind was brightly lit, and the archers who were ambushing in the corridor on the upper floor immediately
Take action and shoot arrows randomly.
At such a close distance, the bowstring had almost just sounded and the arrow was in front of him. Brando only had time to raise his hands to protect his face, chest and lower abdomen. The blue fluorescence of the protective gloves flashed slightly, and the most accurate arrows were shot.
The outward expanding light was pushed aside - of course a few arrows still grazed his arms and flew past his thighs.
Brando gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. Although for him, the 4-level physique is equivalent to muscles that will automatically remove most of their strength, converting the damage that would have caused serious injuries into normal damage. The original skin trauma will
It turned into a scratch, and lighter weapons couldn't even cut his skin.
But even so, the pain will not diminish at all.
However, under normal circumstances, Brando knew that there were a large number of guards ambushing the corridor on the second floor. He might have immediately left and taken a detour to seize the spiral staircase at the other end. Although there are definitely guards on the spiral staircase inside the castle, the terrain there is
At least it won't be this sinister.
But it's different now.
He only waved his sword diagonally upward, and a transparent ripple crossed his blade and spread to half of the hall - there was a loud crash, the candlesticks and utensils on the long dining table in the hall all fell along the direction of the ripple, and the ceiling
The chandelier exploded with a bang, and the railings on the corridor snapped and split into two halves - all the guards above were separated and rolled down.
White Crow Swordsmanship, Eruin's court swordsmanship, this secret skill is a rare long-range attack skill that warrior professions can learn in the mid-to-early stage: the level 0 White Crow Swordsmanship blade wind can be five or six meters away from the sword, and the attack cross-section is wide
The amplitude is doubled. By the time you reach level 25, this swordsmanship can attack enemies hundreds of meters away, almost as good as a swordsman who has cultivated elemental power.
And its consumption is only 3 points of physical strength from beginning to end, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge consumption of inspiring elemental power. This is why so many people were so eager for intermediate skills back then.
Brando's shocking blow caused a moment of silence in the hall. It wasn't until the broken wood fell from the second floor of the hall with a soft snap that everyone woke up as if from a dream——
"knight!"
"Knights Templar!"
"Martha, Mr. Apno, let's retreat!" The guards screamed, losing their will to resist, and retreated one after another.
The separation of sword energy from the body is one of the basic skills of a warrior after he has enlightened his elements. According to tradition, the Temple of Fire will award these people with formal knight titles. In order to distinguish between the knights of various countries, so
Also known as the Knights Templar.
The three-level power system is just a cloud in front of the knights, let alone ordinary people like them. Unless they are enough to drain the opponent's physical strength, no matter how much they come, it will be in vain.
"Knight's ass——!" Captain Apno slapped the subordinate closest to him, and he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. That was definitely a palace swordsman. Could it be that they were actually involved in a palace struggle?
As a mercenary leader, he naturally has to be more knowledgeable. He even knows who the noble man upstairs is. It’s not the first time that he has been affected by a political struggle, but this is the first time that he has seen him.
The legendary palace swordsman.
That is the top level of palace swordsmanship, one of the core powers controlled by the royal family. Just a small low-level black iron swordsman can burst out with so much power, and for a while Apnuo couldn't help but feel jealous.
But as a mercenary, he still remembered his duty. He raised his head and looked around. Most of the guards had fled, and the remaining ones were not brave enough to die - but too scared to move.
Brando killed four people with one sword strike.
Apnuo had no time to feel heartbroken. He stood up and made a gesture and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! Let the people on the other side of the spiral staircase retreat. This level cannot be defended. Let's go to the next level."
Only then did the remaining guards wake up and immediately retreated from the doors everywhere. Some were so scared that they even dropped their bows and arrows, and almost took off their armor and threw it away.
Seeing this scene, Apnuo was a little disheartened, "Damn, these nobles are really troublesome -" He cursed, then turned around and picked up the previous entourage from the ground, and slapped him twice.
The other party woke up from the panic and said angrily: "Go to the barracks in the castle to report the news and sound the alarm. Do you understand?"
"Sound the alarm, but His Excellency the Duke said that it was used to warn the whole city?" The attendant was stunned.
"Shit! If the guest dies, we have to finish the game, do you understand?"
The guard was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly.
I have to say that this follower is still a little clever. He was afraid that the other party had accomplices, so he did not dare to take the inner spiral staircase. Instead, he secretly climbed down from the kitchen rope. Although it was delayed a little time, at least he was in trouble.
He seemed absolutely safe.
He knew that Apno placed his hope in the barracks on the other side of the castle, where a small group of white-maned infantry was stationed to support the guards in the castle. There were seven people in total, including a squad leader. Although they usually looked down on each other, at this moment they
He fully hoped to see the other party soon. But before the followers could get closer, he was shocked to find the bodies of two sentries wearing dark blue military uniforms lying in the middle of the courtyard - the other party had accomplices, and he immediately realized that this was the case.
a little.
This personal attendant reacted quickly and turned around and left almost immediately.
But it was still a little late. Before that, a white light shot out from the second floor of the barracks and passed through the chest of the personal attendant. The powerful power of the magic arrow carried the guard's body and flew forward seven or eight meters, hitting the
He stopped at a pine tree.
Charles stood by the stone window and stared outside for a long time. After confirming that the man was completely dead and had no accomplices, he looked away. He took out his pocket watch, and then looked at the rope hanging down from the bell on the bell tower -
—There are still five minutes left before Brando’s agreed time.
Apno didn't know that the people he sent out to report the news had been killed, and even the small team of the White Mane Legion he was counting on had been killed. He now hoped that the remaining people under his command could resist for a while longer.
Hold on until reinforcements arrive.
They were guarding the stairs leading from the third floor to the second floor. Behind them was the guest room. They had no choice but to retreat. Although he usually looked down on them, now he was a little envious of the servants. At least they could find them wherever they wanted.
He hid in this place fearfully, but as the captain of the guard, he couldn't do it.
If the earl died under his protection, he would probably have to change his name and escape to the mountains to become a bandit.
The young swordsman soon appeared in his sight.
Brando estimated the time and found that there were about a few minutes left. However, he shook off the blood foam on his sword and thought that it should be enough, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he looked at the defense line composed of more than ten guards in front of him -
Are these guys so inexperienced? He originally thought there would be a hard fight.
He could also see that the guard captain was at least a mid-level black iron swordsman. Logically speaking, the other party should have an advantage, right?
But Brando obviously misunderstood one thing, and that was the advantage of skills. He originally thought that he could get his own skills from the initial level and the first fifth level thereafter, and then everyone else should be the same. But Brando
I am used to dealing with players, but I have forgotten that this is a privilege only players have.
For most of the guards here, most of them were members of the local militia before joining the mercenaries. They learned some crude swordsmanship, and the rest was gained through experience in actual combat. Just like Apu.
No, he was born in the military and learned Eruin's military swordsmanship, but he knew nothing else.
Of course, even if he understood this, he would not show mercy. He knew what the guest he was protecting meant to these people, so neither party had much choice.
The guards opened their bows and fired arrows.
Brando raised his protective gloves and brushed away the arrow shafts, but in fact he only needed to block Apno's arrow, because other people's weak arrows posed no threat to him at all.
"The first team attacks!" Seeing that the bows and arrows had no effect and the opponent was getting closer and closer, Apnuo had no choice but to bite the bullet and push his own men forward.
He organized seven people, and these seven people yelled at each other for being shameless. Why didn't they go first in this situation? However, they originally thought that they would die this time, but just after they rushed out, these people felt an afterimage coming from their side.
pass by.
They subconsciously turned around and were surprised to find that the God of Death had bypassed them and arrived in front of their captain——
Apnuo realized something was wrong when he saw Brando's figure disappear from his sight. He had fought against the Sun Knights before and knew that the knights of the kingdom had a skill called charging, which could instantly increase the explosive speed. He only felt
His scalp was numb, and countless practical combat experiences forced him to raise his sword and move forward. When sparks flew, the two swords clashed together——
"As expected of Black Iron's mid-range strength."
Brando thought to himself that there was almost no sign of the opponent's sword strike, and he was an extremely experienced swordsman in the game. He remembered that he had suffered a big loss when he was around level 20, because of this kind of ability to rise up in actual combat.
npc.
But that was then, and now is now.
With a thought in his mind, Brando didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe, and pressed him with another sword. This time it was an explosion of power, and Apnuo was almost scared out of his mind. He couldn't help but wonder who this kid was.
It's the palace swordsmanship, the knight's skill, and the burst of power of the berserker. Is there any reason for this?
Even though he has a lot of experience, he can't help but feel cold in his heart. It's a good thing that he has a lot of experience. If it had been anyone else, he would have died long ago.
Apnuo originally wanted to counterattack, but when he saw this sword attack, he lost all thought and immediately assumed the most shrinking defensive posture. After the swords crossed, the two swords bent back to the limit, and they let out an overwhelmed sound.
, a tooth-piercing tremor. Brando was okay after that, but the guard captain took seven steps back and almost sat backwards on the ground.
Logically speaking, Apno Black Iron's mid-level strength should have at least exceeded 9 levels of power and should have suppressed Brando, but now the situation was exactly the opposite.
This is the power of skills——
As soon as Apnuo retreated, the guards on the left and right suddenly woke up and rushed over to attack him. But Brando swung his sword back casually, and a wind blade passed by and his head rushed straight up.
Then he moved forward again. Upon seeing this, Apno threw away the sword in his hand decisively and shouted: "I surrender!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm bell sounded outside——
"If you surrender, drop your weapons and get out!"
Brando shouted lowly.
As if they had been granted amnesty, all the guards dropped their weapons and fled. They were already so frightened that their limbs were weak, but now their captains agreed to surrender, and naturally they no longer had the will to fight.
