"Our goal is simple. There are three portals in total. If even one is left behind, the mission will fail."
"The task of finding and analyzing the portal is left to Miss Antitina. The task of everyone else, including me, is to cover her approach to the portal and protect her until she completes it."
"Do you have any questions?"
Brando looked at everyone. They would face thousands of demons later. Except for him, no one expected to succeed. Most people present only regarded this action as a noble act - a noble act.
On the one hand, there were less than forty people, and on the other hand, there was an army of countless demons. Apart from miracles, they really could not imagine the possibility of victory.
Some of the knights in Lantonilan looked nervous, some frowned, and some seemed to be joking indifferently. The usually taciturn stranger Garlok was demonstrating a spell model to Charles, and the swordsman Nicholas of Sifah was explaining it over and over again.
After wiping her sword, Her Royal Highness stared at the dark Ampelsel in the rain all over again, not knowing what she was thinking. These actions seemed meaningless, but they more or less revealed some uneasiness.
.
When the real final moment is so close, who can face death calmly?
But even so, everyone still nodded silently. They didn't know that there was still a trace of luck in the young people's hearts. They just thought that it was a kind of knight-like persistence and determination - to challenge even though they knew they would fail. Such persistence is very important in this era.
In the eyes of most nobles, they are still a little naive - but equally valuable, because no one can blaspheme the pursuit of ideals and honor itself.
Because of this, everyone has only admiration for Brando.
Brando could more or less feel the meaning of this, but he did not intend to explain the misunderstanding. "Well, too much time has been wasted. We only have five minutes to prepare. Then we will set off immediately. Please hurry up.
Time, or leaving a will - you and I should both understand. If you go this time, you will die without rebirth."
Everyone was silent.
Only Charles smiled and said: "It's a pity. We should have had the opportunity for future generations to build a monument for us to record the heroic deeds that happened here today. The inscription reads 'The great lord Tonigel and his entourage'
, but it seems that there is no such opportunity now. In the future, whether anyone will remember us is still a question."
The young wizard described it vividly.
"Why can't you remember?" Delpherie on the side couldn't help but wonder.
"It's very simple, because a certain upright temple will definitely hide the truth, but can we stand up and refute it?" Charles replied in a conspiratorial tone, and then couldn't help but smile.
This joke is interesting. The key is that it is in line with everyone's malicious speculation about the Cruz people at this moment. Isn't all this a masterpiece of the Cruz people and the Temple of Fire? Although everyone is united and cooperated to fight against the devil, there is no trace of it in their hearts.
Unhappy, especially the knights of Lantonilan, laughed unbridledly.
Brando couldn't help but smile. It seems that Charles has a lot of opinions about the Temple of Fire, but I have to say that what he said is probably what will happen in the future - if they really are
If you die from this.
In fact, even the only Templar Knight of the Temple of Fire among them all smiled and shook his head indifferently after hearing Ciel's words. As a high-ranking member of the Temple of Fire, he would naturally not be unclear.
How the Temple does things. But there's nothing unacceptable about that to him - his loyalty is to the faith, not to the way the Temple does things.
Brando broke away from the crowd, walked to the edge of the forest and took a look at the gentle slope to the north, and couldn't help but sigh. Some things are simple to say, but difficult to do. The area where the hills to the north of Ampelser connect to the bay is
A gently sloping meadow. This terrain is really not suitable for a surprise attack. The little devil's eyesight is limited, but the hellhound is the best scout. I'm afraid they will be discovered as soon as they leave the forest.
Once he was discovered, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate when he thought of the densely packed demons at the portal that were increasing all the time.
He couldn't help but think that it would be better if the battle started in the hills, but unfortunately the demons were not stupid either. What's more, they had no choice.
At this time, a rustle of footsteps came from behind, and Brando knew without looking back that it was the Countess of Yanbao. Only she here could be so clumsy and make such a loud noise.
"Mr. Brando."
"You want to ask what you can do?" Brando replied without looking back.
"...You, you must not be liked by girls at all. Mr. Brando," Delfry hesitated for a moment before replying helplessly: "I want to know what I can do, Mr. Brando."
, are you interested in my ability to summon demons?"
"Ha," Brando laughed dryly: "Did you guess it?"
"There is no other possibility other than this." Delphire looked a little worried: "But I will probably disappoint you. Although I secretly learn necromancy, in fact, the demons I can summon
It’s just the very low-level part.”
Brando couldn't help but look at her: "Really? But I also have a question, Countess, are you not afraid at all? You know what it means to be here, right?"
He looked at his watch and saw that there were still three minutes left. There was still more time, so he asked this question that he had always been curious about. He could more or less guess the reason why the White Lion Legion Commander Laird chose to join.
That big shot is a tragic character in history, and can be said to be a tragic hero. He is one of the few beings that is completely different from other nobles in Eruin, but he has chosen a path that is doomed to be wrong.
To be honest, Brando does not agree with Laird's choice. As an individual, it may be admirable, but judging from the old man's position, it is too short-sighted. Because of his wrong judgment alone,
Ruining the future of the kingdom, such a mistake cannot be ignored just because of the integrity of the purpose.
But if Laird wanted to make up for his mistakes, Brando was very surprised by the behavior of the Earl of Yanbao. Although she was his predetermined candidate, her reaction plane was too outstanding.
It's as if the spirit of chivalry is overflowing.
This is different from Brando's impression of her.
Delphiri hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded seriously. "I know I might die here, Mr. Brando."
Brando listened to her continue and said: "But I am not the only heir to the Yanbao family. If I die here today, the Sword Guard family will only be honored because of me and wash away the damage caused by the broken sword seat.
It's a shame. If I live, my family will not be reborn because of this. If I die, I can't decide the fate of myself and my family."
"So I think, maybe I can at least determine the value of my life," Delfiri looked at Brando seriously: "Besides, I would rather die heroically and gloriously, dying next to a real knight.
Isn’t it romantic to shed the last drop of blood for this kingdom?”
She smiled slightly, with the gentleness of a noble lady.
Romantic you.
Brando was somewhat unable to understand her inexplicable spirit of sacrifice, just as he could not always restrain his personal freedom for the sake of the family. Looking at the countess, he felt for the first time that there was an invisible gap between them.
"Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it." Delpherie nodded affirmatively.
Okay. Brando shrugged and decided to change the topic to a lighter topic: "But having said that, is the broken sword seat that serious to you?"
"Of course, Yan Bao once swore an oath to protect the sword seat. The sword seat shattered, which meant that the Lion Heart Sword had to choose a new owner. This was a huge blow to us. The family had to face the censure and criticism of the coveted person.
Accusation.”
"So that's it," Brando suddenly realized. In fact, he had already guessed it. If Yanbao had not been in trouble, he would not have let a little girl named Delferie run away.
"But isn't the Lionheart Sword back in the hands of the princess?"
"Mr. Brando, back then we swore an oath to the royal family of Sifah. Later, the Lionheart Sword disappeared, but fortunately the sword seat still existed. Therefore, Corcova's ancestors swore in front of the sword seat to inherit the throne. The Yanbao family is loyal to the throne today.
In fact, it is the Corcova royal family, not Her Royal Highness the Princess." The countess explained carefully.
When she said this, Brando completely understood. But to be honest, even if he understood the whole story, he couldn't understand the other party's choice.
He was silent for a moment and took out a ring-shaped object from the dimensional cave. "Your family will be honored because of you, but to be honest, I regret it." Brando replied quietly.
"Mr. Brando, you don't have to, ah -" Delpherie's eyes widened when he saw the thing: "This is..."
"Devil Armband?"
Brando nodded slowly.
…
Five minutes is not a long time. When Brando and Delphire walked back from the outskirts of the forest, everyone was ready to go.
He didn't say much. In fact, he was not in the mood to say much. He nodded directly and led everyone to set off. They passed through the forest and soon entered the gentle slope to the north along the hillside. Before that, Brando had asked him more than once
Tell himself that this risky action is no different from similar experiences he had in the past in the game - whether it was the earlier experience of breaking out of the siege of the Lizardmen, or the second Black Rose War.
The undead who risked their lives to attack Madara, or later, during Operation Clover, they secretly conveyed information from the Cruz people.
It works every time, right?
But it wasn't until the moment of departure that everyone's silence made him feel something different. There seemed to be a nervous atmosphere in the air, which reminded him of Butcher's night more than once.
Through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the tree crown, the portal of the Flame Gate stood like three huge golden rings in the rain. These things alone made people feel huge pressure. Fortunately, in order to ensure the clearance near the portal
, not a single flying creature can be seen in the northern sky of Ampelsel.
Whether it's a barbarian demon or a harpy.
This is about the only place where Brando feels comforted.
The demons are probably very confident in the strength of the troops near the portal, and there are no patrols in the surrounding hilly areas. Of course, the demons don't have any patrols in the first place - their fighting style has always been straightforward, violent and direct, relying on their lives to make ends meet.
Already.
Brando, on the other hand, originally thought he would meet Qiao Gendigang, but it seemed that he was pretty lucky. He carefully led the others through the bushy area, while nervously watching the hilltop where the Cerberus lived, but the other party seemed a little bit...
They didn't realize that a troop would appear north of Ampelser, and soon they smoothly entered the sparse forest area near the gentle slope meadow area.
Brando took the lead in rolling behind a tree on the outermost side of the forest and took a look outside. The nearest portal was less than a kilometer away from him. Because the portal was so huge, it almost seemed
It's within reach.
Brando took a breath and immediately turned back to signal to the others. Everyone lowered their bodies and crawled close to the edge of the forest.
To be honest, this action is nothing new. Scouts often approach the enemy in this way and even teach their horses to do it. However, if there are aerial reconnaissance units, do it on the endless meadow.
It is tantamount to courting death.
But Brando just took a fancy to the clear area near the portal.
They slowly climbed out of the edge of the forest and slowly entered the meadow zone. Brando raised his head slightly from time to time to see the reaction of the Cerberus over there - among all the demons, the Cerberus's perception ability was the first.
, even those higher-level horned demons are eclipsed by them in this regard.
But Martha was obviously on their side this time, and kept advancing for three to four hundred meters. Although it took a full ten minutes, at least until they were almost half the distance, the hellhounds still didn't make any reaction.
.
But the good luck apparently ended here.
Suddenly, Brando saw the three-headed hell dog standing up alertly. If he was still lucky at this point, then when the monster looked in this direction, he immediately realized that he and his party
The person was discovered.
At this distance, it is very likely that the other party did not see them, but smelled the smell of humans. It has to be said that even though Brando was prepared for such a smell, he still couldn't help but be secretly frightened. You know
This was in the pouring rain. If it was sunny, they probably wouldn't be able to hide in the forest.
The devil's two major reconnaissance arms, the barbarian demons in the sky and the hellhounds on the ground, are so famous that the players cannot boast them. Brando only saw the six pairs of blood-red eyes scanning in this direction, and he immediately felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Ma, subconsciously shouted:
"Antitina!"
The noble lady understood and immediately approached him. Brando picked her up from the ground and picked her up around the waist. He immediately ran wildly and rushed straight to the portal directly in front. "Quick! Destroy the nearest one first.
That portal!"
As soon as he moved, all the hellhounds on the hill stood up. The ones who reacted slightly slower were the horned demons by the portal. These tall demons immediately kicked away the fighting little demons.
Cursing and ordering them to prepare immediately to meet the enemy.
Then the demon warlock appeared next to the portal. Those monsters seemed to be hidden among the large swaths of little demons. As soon as they stood up, they immediately ignited blood-red flames in their hands, and then rained down on Bran like raindrops.
Wait for more people to throw it.
Brando held Antitina in one hand and pulled out the Sword of the Earth with the other. He was very familiar with these horned heads, and naturally knew their usual tricks, and was preparing to attack, but at this time, the man
The Templar Knights and Flame-Haired Nicholas had already arrived in front of him, one on the left and the other on the right. They stretched out their hands, and countless golden-red lines of law immediately extended forward to swallow up all the fireballs.
In front of these two masters who play with fire, the fireball technique of the demon warlock is really not enough.
Brando immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he specifically asked Nicholas to join was actually for this reason. Demons are all experts at playing with fire, but compared with Nicholas on the side of truth, they seem childish.
