The refugees accompanying Brando fled into Yinque Mountain before sunrise. Sure enough, as Brando judged, after they defeated the undead scout cavalry, the undead army did not catch up. Because the low-level undead and
The combat effectiveness of the vampires will drop significantly throughout the day, and Brando guesses that they will not let the sea of skeletons spread over the mountains and plains under the sun before they completely eliminate the White Mane Swordsmen.
However, after the undead occupied several cemeteries in Lidenburg, their strength would surely increase. It is said that when Tagus arrived at Dragos in the north, his strength had already expanded to one hundred thousand. Golan-El
Five times the total military strength in the forest area.
After the expansion, the number of refugees has grown to four to five hundred. The long queue is interspersed with horse-drawn carriages and heavily laden mules, stretching for half a mile in the Yinque Mountains. Some people are looking for help at night in front and behind the queue.
The separated relatives and the refugee group seemed a little lively for a while.
The businesswoman sneaked out of the carriage in broad daylight, and now she was sitting on a flatbed carriage loaded with goods, holding her precious bag, telling stories to a few little guys - she told them in a unique way, which made them happy.
All the little guys opened their eyes wide when they heard it.
She was talking about how Brando was so calm, so wise and mighty when she suddenly saw a man and a woman riding horses coming up from behind in the distance. She was so frightened that her face changed and she lowered her head subconsciously.
Brando slept for about three hours. This was the only sleep he had had in the past few days, but he couldn't sleep well because he was thinking about Madala's army. He quickly became startled and repeatedly confirmed that he had found the sneaky man.
The evil girl was none other than Roman Queen. She couldn't help laughing and shook her head:
"Why did you run out?"
"I'm bored." The businesswoman replied with a low eyebrow.
"It's very dangerous outside, Roman," Freya frowned and stared at her best friend, and said worriedly: "What's going to happen to you, how can I explain it to Aunt Jenny?"
"There's nothing dangerous. I'm telling them stories." Roman's eyes lit up when he mentioned this.
Several little ghosts nodded hurriedly.
"What we are discussing now is not about what you are doing," Freya sighed: "Do you know how nervous you are right now?"
Brando looked at Roman amusedly: "What story are you telling?"
"It's a story about Brando."
Brando waved to her and motioned for her to come over. The businesswoman was stunned for a moment, not doubting that he was there. She ran to the edge of the carriage but was grabbed by the young man, pinched her face, rubbed it vigorously and lectured: "——Listen
Freya said, pay attention to your own safety, do you understand?"
Roman was startled and made a whining sound. He pushed Brando away in a hurry and raised a pair of little eyebrows: "I... um... I know, hurry up... let go!"
Then she quickly retreated to the other corner of the carriage, stared at Brando warily, patted her chest, and looked frightened.
Brando smiled secretly, it felt really good. But when he turned around, he saw Freya looking at this side with envy, but the ponytail girl's face immediately turned red, and she turned away and said loudly: "Widow,
You are too shameless to ignore you two..."
She dropped these words and ran away alone, leaving Brando alone in a daze - somehow he had offended the eldest lady again. And he was in a daze, over there Mano and Leto
But he found it.
They were looking for him to recruit manpower from the refugees to form a self-defense group. In fact, ever since the refugee team entered Yinque Mountain, the surrounding terrain has become more complicated. There are large tracts of fir trees scattered among the hills, and the view ranges from
It became extremely bad from the beginning - and they not only have to guard against the possible undead spies of Madara, but also the bears and maned wolves in the forest. What's more, the number of refugees is still increasing, even if Brando
More than 30 riders were thrown in, and probably not a single one of them would get splashed.
What's more, he also sent the riders out to conduct reconnaissance in the fan-shaped area ahead, which made the manpower on hand even tighter.
Fortunately, Eruin still has many men who have participated in comprehensive militia training and dare to stand up and fight. Brando has more than thirty black swords that he just collected from some skeleton riders.
Distribute them one by one, and it will be no problem to arm forty or fifty people.
Leto and Mano put these people on the sides and back, and let them patrol back and forth mainly to maintain order and security in the refugee team. However, this is a simple thing to say, but it is very troublesome to do, and they are half busy.
The whole morning was just for this matter, and at this moment Leto was just here to report the results.
Mano, on the other hand, had another purpose. Together with Charles, he sorted out the armor fragments collected from the undead scout cavalry team last night and gave them to Brando for review.
Most of them were broken metal rings, with only a few metal pieces. Brando picked up each piece and looked at the sun, then touched the inside of the metal ring with his fingertips. He quickly found the familiar
emblem, an eye.
Brando put the armor fragments back into Mano's hand and replied: "It seems that the army of dead maggots is following us, just like in history -"
He suddenly saw Mano looking at him suspiciously, and hurriedly coughed: "Dead maggot Magus, he is a half-zombie. Among Madala's military generals, he is particularly good at concentrating numerical advantages, but he likes to do it at night.
March, and then you will see the zombie army all over the mountains and plains."
Brando's words made Leto and Mano look at each other. They didn't know why Brando knew Madara so well, but it didn't look like he was talking nonsense. What's more, this young man
There is no need to talk big, since the battle last night, I have won the hearts of old mercenaries like them.
But Brando stopped and looked up at the sky. There were a few black spots in the southeast sky in the distance. He didn't know whether they were falcons in the mountains or Madara's skeleton vultures. But he would not go there soon.
Like this question, as Madara's standard reconnaissance unit, things like skeleton vultures are also hard to guard against - they have excellent eyesight, and the necromancer can use them to understand every move on the battlefield.
In the last few years of the First Age, that is, in several battles between 421 (Year of Lin Mao) and 426 (Year of Star Magic), especially the Battle of Xilin in Sifah, Ma
Daala's skeleton vultures were everywhere in the sky, and it was too late for players to send out flying dragon cavalry to disperse them. It was Madala's peak period, and her military tactics were almost pushed to the limit.
However, it’s not like they haven’t figured out how to do it in years of fighting. For example, in such densely forested and extremely high mountainous areas, the skeleton vultures have been severely weakened. Their monotonous color makes it difficult to distinguish the combat environment in complex terrain.
Not to mention Brando's four or five hundred people, even one or two thousand people who crawled into the Deer Hunting Hills would be like pebbles thrown into the sea, leaving no trace behind.
This is why Brando defied all opinions and chose to enter Yinque Mountain instead of following the large group of refugees into the Jianshi River Valley, which is easier to walk. He didn't say it out because he was afraid that these experienced mercenaries would have different intentions.
He would rather believe that these people are still passionate, but he must be on guard against others——
Brando thought for a while and continued: "Margus likes to march at night, but he will not be idle throughout the day. He will use elite squadrons of ghouls and corpses to drive away refugees, but now he
The first thing to do should be to defeat the White Mane Swordsmen. I just don’t know where Luc Besson should be now.”
In fact, what Brando is most afraid of is being discovered by a bone dragon. He knows that Tagus should have a three-headed bone dragon in his hand. If he is found by a bone dragon in an open area such as a river valley, it will be a disaster. But Tagus should be able to
After recuperating in Lidenburg for a period of time and occupying the cemetery there, he should seize the time to expand his strength. Anyway, the biggest nail has been pulled out - from Lidenburg to the Dragos area through the Sharp Stone Valley, and in the middle
No obstacles.
Brando said, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the river valley. At this time, in the eyes of Leto and Mano, he had become a young general or a rising star.
Become different.
Although they are mercenaries, they may not have the idea of becoming noble retainers in their hearts. Only God knows that Brando is just a fake noble. Although the young man deliberately corrected Ciel's name once, he heard the latter
Calling him 'Master' in a serious manner would give him a creepy feeling, so he might as well just acquiesce to the current name.
He thought about this problem for a while and could only blame it on the fact that the 'factory settings' were not set properly.
After finishing the morning's work, the whole morning was uneventful, but the group of refugees was getting bigger and bigger. In addition to a group of refugees catching up from behind, there were also some refugees who had fled from the river valley and integrated into it. They brought with them
Brando was indeed right about the news in that direction. Magus's ghouls, demon squadron and three Kabasi's skeleton army were fighting a fierce battle with the white-maned army over there. It was expected that the winner would be decided in the evening.
Come.
The team of refugees once expanded to about a thousand people. In the middle, Brando asked these people to stop and make a meal. Fortunately, because Madara attacked the northwest and southwest areas first when entering the city yesterday, these people who escaped from the north of the city
Most people have enough time to bring some necessities, and Brando doesn't have to worry about food problems for the time being.
However, the young man is not unprepared. In his eyes, the deer hunting forest is a natural food reserve base. There are many kinds of animals in the forest. In addition to the highly aggressive bears and maned wolves, there are also wild boars, deer, badgers and hares.
, and there are a lot of pine nuts to collect, and there are mushrooms and wild vegetables in the forest. As long as you are willing, you can feed one or two thousand people here and live a good life, but there is still no problem in ensuring food and clothing.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the riders who were sent out finally brought back the first news for Brando. This news was not about Madara -
