The guest is naturally Brando's acquaintance - the Gray Fin Naga. The pearl in his hand was also given to him by Naga Queen Hanlu through the hand of Sanir. It is a magic prop for communication between Nagas. It is a pity that this thing
The production is limited, otherwise he can give one to each important person around him.
As soon as the black pearl glowed, Brando immediately realized that Sanir had arrived. But the first thing to react was the sentry posted by the White Lion Guards on the outside. The young people from Tony Geer naturally recognized the Nagas and sent them directly.
Led over.
The first thing Brando saw was Sanir, who was tall and taller than the average person. Next to him was a female Naga - the female Naga was charming, but after all, they were not human-like. They had sharp tips.
It has webbed ears, its skin is very smooth, and there are three thin gills above the collarbone. Like the male Naga, it has a snake body from the belly button down.
Brando was a little surprised at first as to why Sanir didn't join Antitina and went to Tonigel by sea. But he understood it as soon as he saw the female Naga, and he happened to be the same as the female Naga.
Meet Bridget, the Siren, one of the main priestesses around Queen Cold Dew.
Among the Naga clan, those who preside over sacrifices and war positions are all women. Although Sanir is a warrior, he is just a frontline warrior. Although he later led the Gray Fin Naga clan by chance, that was
Exceptionally speaking, Naga is still a matrilineal clan society.
As for female Nagas of noble birth like Bridget, they mostly appear in the army as accompanying priests. In fact, their role is probably equivalent to supervising the army.
Brando immediately understood that the other party was coming to form an alliance with him. This also explained the issue of the whereabouts of the Harbor Guards in Ampersel Port. It seemed that the Naga clan had been determined to participate in this incident from the beginning.
A war.
As soon as the other party spoke, his guess was confirmed:
"Lord, we are ordered by the Queen to abide by the eternal sacred covenant to fight side by side with the allies of mankind." Bridget spoke so well in Cruz that it was almost impossible to tell that it was coming from Naga or Sani.
The low, hoarse murmur of Er.
When she mentioned the Queen, she lowered her head slightly and saluted Brando. This salute was not so much to Brando as to show respect for her Queen.
There was a glimmer in Brando's eyes. As a player, he is so keen and has a very detailed understanding of Naga customs. It seems that the Queen of Cold Dew intends to interact with him on an equal footing, otherwise the other party will be more than that. But what about the sacred covenant?
He didn't believe the nonsense at all. If the sacred covenant really worked, there would be no holy war between the four major temples.
What a powerful method. Under the high-sounding excuse, it is obviously a naked political investment. But what exactly does Her Majesty the Queen like about him? On the surface, he is just a small lord of Tony Geer.
That’s all.
Bridget kept silent after finishing her remarks, obviously not giving him a chance to satisfy his curiosity. Most likely, Sanir would not know. With his status, he is not really a big shot in Gray Fin Naga.
.
However, Brando has never been a person who searches for the truth. It is better to have reinforcements, so he can accept them with peace of mind. Anyway, he just thinks that he owes the Queen a favor. I'm afraid this is exactly the other party's purpose, and with him
I don’t have the ability to worry about not being able to repay it.
The arrival of Gray Fin Naga also caused quite a commotion among others. After hearing that they were allies, the commotion quickly spread among the young people. Overwell couldn't help but tease Brando.
A bandit lord whose subordinates are all bandits and pirates is of course a joke, because Sir Wolf only has admiration in his eyes.
There is a huge difference between raising private soldiers under one's own men and making friends with powerful people from all sides. Most of Eruin's nobles, including losers like Grudin, raise private soldiers. This is the natural instinct of nobles and seems unnecessary.
You can learn it by studying. To be able to make friends with powerful people from all sides, in addition to your own strength, you also need a certain degree of personal charm.
The problem is that Brando has met too many forces. Druids and Nagas are forces that ordinary people have no contact with. In front of these people, human identity is of no use. In the eyes of druids,
There is no difference between nobles and commoners. In Naga's view, nobles are roughly equal to fat sheep.
But Brando was able to gain their approval. This can only be described as a freak.
Others were okay, but the princess's eyes were a little complicated when she saw him. Brando could even clearly feel the recognition and a trace of vigilance in the eyes of the half-elf girl. Where did this vigilance come from? He knew it well.
bright.
With the addition of Gray Fin Naga, the army gathered around Her Royal Highness has expanded to 6,000 people, barely enough to have the strength of a guard regiment. Everyone seems to have seen a little hope, especially Count Odin's private soldiers.
He no longer looked in a hurry - Brando was really afraid that these guys would collapse at the first touch and become deserters.
Brando asked Sanir again how they caught up, and then he realized that Sanir and his Gray Fin Naga Guards had caught up with him and his party along the sea route around Ampelser Bay. According to Sanir
Nir's description. After they defeated the Hong Kong Guards, they discovered that Brando had evacuated Amperesel. At that time, the Black Blade Army had completed its assembly south of Amperesel. Sanir made an immediate decision and ordered all Nagas to move along the city.
The river evacuated, entered the bay outside Ampelser, and then landed at Dungan Bay, only to intercept Brando and his party.
The topography of Ampelsel is very special. The north and south land meet and squeeze here to form a crescent-shaped bay. In the center is the Ampelsel Strait. The terrain is flat in the north and there are many cliffs in the south. You can see this unique landscape by taking a boat out to sea.
The line south of Ampelsel Port is almost entirely composed of knife-like sea cliffs. The reefs below are densely covered and difficult to approach with a sail.
There are two landing points to the south. Among them, Dunggang Bay is actually a shoal, and only Naga can land from there. Not to mention that there is a reef and turbulent water outside. Brando knows it very well, so he gave up on landing from there.
The idea of going to sea. Further south is Shengbai Bay, which is far away from Ampelssel Port and is the only anchorage in this area.
Brando estimated the time. It seemed impossible to get to Holy White Bay before being overtaken by the Black Blade Legion, but the addition of Gray Fin Naga gave him another plan.
Brando immediately rolled up the parchment map. The surrounding non-commissioned officers of the Royal Knights Academy knew that their 'commander' was about to make a plan, so they gathered around. Overwell and Count Odin also stood on the left and right.
Next to Brando.
"I thought of a way." Sir Wolf asked.
"Well," Brando nodded: "There is a concept, but it still needs to be verified."
"Does your Majesty have any clever tricks to get rid of those annoying guys in the sky?" Enroque asked with a smile.
"Brando, can you wait until night and take advantage of the darkness to get rid of the flying dragon cavalry in the sky?" Freya also asked.
"Impossible," Count Odin replied. He once served in the Black Blade Legion and the Southern Legion, and is the most familiar general of the Dragon Cavalry among all people: "The scientific name of the Dragon Cavalry's mount is Eruin Yalong.
Mainly living in the northern plateau, they are actually nocturnal creatures, and trained dragon cavalry will have no problem tracking them at night."
"It's so annoying, it's still an all-weather force." Brando cursed secretly in his heart, but in fact he also knew this; speaking of it, he also served as a flying dragon cavalry in the game, and he was also quite good at creatures like Eruin Yalong.
I understand. So I didn’t have this delusion from the beginning, "Okay, unless there is a knife from the sky, it’s better not to get rid of the other party. After all, they fly and we walk."
He said it so playfully that everyone couldn't help but smile.
"A knife from the sky will kill us, Brando." Only Freya glared at him angrily.
"So we have to face the Black Blade Legion. At this rate, we will be overtaken as early as tomorrow afternoon." Luo Ka, the leader of the three heroes, reacted very quickly. He said calmly: "No, it's not even necessary.
At that time or earlier, the light cavalry of the Black Blade Legion will bite."
"The light cavalry are not good at fighting in the mountains and forests. Maybe we can bite them back." Brayson pondered for a moment and replied.
"Then we will lose time." Nymesis said quietly. She glanced at Brando. She has always been the commander of this army. But now her calm face seemed to show no sympathy for Bu.
Lando looked dissatisfied.
Brando also found that this female knight has a quality that he admires very much. That is the obedience of a soldier. She is calm, steady, and absolutely obedient to orders. This is something that even he himself cannot do. This is the real excellence.
of soldiers.
However, the other person turned out to be a woman, and she looked exactly like his senior sister, which was a bit unacceptable to him.
Overwell didn't speak, as if he was waiting for these young people to speak. Brando had the same idea, and he might as well take this opportunity to see the true strength of the three heroes of Eruin.
After Luo Ka thought for a moment, he answered as expected: "Sooner or later, the advantage of time will be lost. At least before that, we can decide where and how to fight the Black Blade Legion."
exactly.
Turning the right time into the right place. Brando secretly praised in his heart that the leader of the three heroes of Eruin was worthy of his illustrious reputation in the past, and his ideas coincided with his. However, he had already planned it, but the other party was in an instant.
Judging, the gap here is huge.
Fortunately, he never thought that he was a genius commander. The reason why he was here was just because he had far more insights than anyone else in this period of history. That was enough.
"What is the goal of the war?"
"Obviously, stand still and wait for help," Enroch replied.
"So where are we going to choose the battlefield?" Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the unfolded map, and Brando was the same. They had actually followed the direction leaving Ampelser Port and headed east into the Machenko Mountains.
, is now somewhere south of Rang Ding’s foothills manor.
Jean Ding's Manor at the foot of the mountain is a famous landmark near Ampessel. It is said to be a manor, but it is actually a mountain hotel, built like a fortress. This manor is about ten miles east of the port of Ampessel, surrounded by mountains.
In the mountain forest, it is located on the mountain road that must pass from Ampelser to Anleke Province.
Because that was the only road nearby, they deviated from this road. In fact, the southeast of Ampessel was already in the mountains. There was another road to the south of Ampessel, and this road led to Vlada -
Pace collar, and they are between these two avenues.
This area is also a level 25-30 adventure area that Brando is familiar with. Further south, there is an acropolis of Ampelsel, and there is a sawmill nearby, which is the main daily charcoal of Ampelsel.
Supply place. Brando has done many tasks there before.
There is also a small iron mine nearby. Because of the charcoal, a large number of manors operating blacksmith workshops sprang up there around the Year of the Harvest (1st. 360). With the Acropolis as the center, enter eastward.
There are big mountains, and to the west is the gentle coastal area, which is densely populated.
Brando's eyes drew a line in this area premeditatedly.
Young people are arguing.
Caglis believes that they should take advantage of their smaller army but more elite troops to block the Black Blade Army in the Fama Valley (1). This valley goes deep into the northern branch of Anlek and has difficult terrain, making it the best place to use as an ambush.
One of the best terrains.
But Enroque believed that they should have entered the Fama Mountains and followed the Fama Mountains into the northern main branch of the Anlek Mountains. They also relied on the advantage of having a small number of elites to fight and retreat, and circle with the northern coalition forces in the deep mountains.
This was a fantastic idea. Brando was stunned when he heard this and thought, isn't this the prototype of guerrilla warfare? This could be an alternative plan.
But he was just stunned. The dispute over there had already become more intense. Enroque mocked Caglis for his rigid thinking and military dogmatism. Caglis showed no sign of weakness and retorted that the opponent was a bandit and a bandit.
The Thoughts of the Mountain King.
The two sides argued but could not come to a conclusion. Brayson supported Caglis's view, while Muke believed that Enroque said it better. Only Freya, Lorca and Nymesis had their eyes on Brando.
Brando smiled slightly and pointed on the map: "We will hold a grand banquet for the Black Blade Legion here."
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. In fact, the place Brando pointed to was not far from here. He drew a line, which eventually pointed to a place called Marl Highlands.
What is this place?
Everyone saw that the place drawn on the map was obviously not the most suitable place to block an attack. The Marl Highlands is a tableland terrain. Although it is also the intersection of three mountains, the open surface is a flat alluvial plain, which is very conducive to the deployment of the army. Fighting here
, I'm afraid there is something wrong. If Brando hadn't led them to fight a bloody road, everyone present, including Caglis, would have doubted whether he was a traitor to the Northern Alliance...
"Mr. Brando...?"
"Believe me, this is the best choice," Brando smiled: "I won't make fun of my own life, right?"
"But why?" Freya couldn't help but ask.
The reason is very simple. Brando smiled evilly in his heart. This place called Marr Highlands was a nightmare in the minds of countless players. There is a copy of the 'Afega Temple Ruins' in Marl Highlands. Afega is a famous place in Warnd.
It is said that the demon god is actually a demon. Of course, this temple actually has little to do with him. It is just that it is occupied by a group of wind elemental creatures from the Mountain of Calm Storm. The temple is buried deep underground. Before this era,
It probably hasn't been discovered yet.
This temple was announced in a later version. There is also a small opening task. Brando can fully imagine how much trouble the Black Blade Legion will encounter if he gets this thing out. Players were beaten back then
It was like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and it wasn't until almost five years later that someone fixed this copy.
Not to mention that there is a settlement of monster red-backed wild boars in front of the Mal Highlands. If they don't know the correct marching route, these 20-plus-level gregarious creatures will be enough for them to drink.
Brando felt like laughing out loud when he thought about it. What's more, he chose the battlefield on the plain not only to make the opponent relax their vigilance, but also for deeper considerations. But there are some things that cannot be said yet, Knight Wang Li
The academy's cadets are certainly trustworthy, but it's hard to say that the aristocratic private soldiers under Count Odin are trustworthy.
He waved his hand to signal others to stop discussing. Brando's prestige had been initially established. Although the young people were still more or less confused, they still chose to believe in the commander who had led them all the way.
"This place is actually an inverted triangle. If you stick to two of the hills, it is not impossible to defend. I think the lord may have other considerations, but is this place too close to the acropolis of Ampelser?" Luo Ka also said
He frowned and asked.
"On the contrary, we have to fight all the way along this line." Brando said, pointing to the manor area.
"Ah, what? Isn't it?" Enroque almost jumped up: "Lord, this seems unnecessary. If you want to show your military power and shock those Yankees... okay, I admit that we are already very powerful.
Already."
"No, it's necessary." Brando smiled at him. Then he turned back and said to Sanir: "Sanir, have you and your men sensed your sea demon whale?"
Sanir was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Then please take them there immediately, and make sure Miss Antitina appears in front of me before tonight."
"no problem."
Brando rolled up the parchment and said to the others: "You also go to prepare and come up with a battle plan. And don't forget, you have to beat up the vanguard cavalry of the Black Blade Legion to let them know that we are here.
.”
Everyone looked at each other, but they had no choice but to stand up and salute.
