Act Fourteen Interspersed

Act Fourteen Interlude

When Brando led the light cavalry to advance rapidly through the mountains and forests, and pointed out to them the undead scout cavalry groping forward in the valley, everyone was stunned.

It was as if fantasy had become reality, and the young man leading them indeed had the ability to foresee things.

But only Leto and Voltalon guessed the gargoyle, but they didn't have much time to think, because Brando had already issued the attack order, and more than fifty cavalry poured down and sealed it under the command of the young man.

All possible escape routes for the Skeleton Cavalry were eliminated - it should be said that they had no retreat at all.

Because Brando knows how they will react.

When Brando arranged the cavalry assault route, his image in the hearts of these mercenaries was no longer just an excellent general, but also magical. The battle began with a horizontal sword wind, four or five

The skeleton soldiers cut them off in the middle, and then Brando took the lead and rushed into the undead. Whenever the skeleton cavalry dared to stop him, they were often knocked out seven or eight meters away by a sword as soon as they entered the attack range——

Then there was only the commanding Corpse Witch left in front of him.

A sword with an owl head.

They gathered their team again and made another surprise attack. The battle ended as if it was exactly the same as the night before. Only one of the security cavalry was accidentally hit by a sword in the left rib. Brando left him behind while the self-defense group behind him took over.

Keep moving forward.

Within a quarter of an hour, they defeated another undead scout cavalry on the other side of the hillside. After two battles, a total of three people were reduced due to injuries - Brando naturally had to tie bandages for them one by one, although he was just for

Open a cheat - because his battlefield first aid takes effect very quickly, even more abnormal than some hemostatic drugs.

But this subtle move of his earned him a very high reputation. Although his prestige among the mercenaries had already been at its peak before that, even Voltaron, who had always been against him, couldn't help but think that Bran

Most of them are the gods of war descending to earth.

Only the mythical God of War ‘Mars’ has such arrogant strength.

However, Brando found it a bit boring. The Madara cavalry's tactical movements in this era were so rigid, far from being as flexible as they were after the Insta Dragon reforms. In his opinion, it was a bit like playing training AI back in the day.

But the only good thing is that he gained a total of 779 experience points in the two battles and successfully reached level 17.

At the same moment, when the refugees led by Freya began to abandon their carriages, Madala found themselves in even greater trouble.

As we all know, Magus the 'Death Maggot' is a half-zombie, and the rotting flesh on his body always needs to be maintained to ensure that it will not fall off.

But it doesn't matter even if the skeleton is exposed, anyway, its necromancer apprentices will regularly replenish it. The rotten tendons and skin allow the zombie to be stronger and tougher than the skeleton soldiers - just as a general, Magus is more

The carrion on its body was arranged aesthetically.

However, the news from the front line made him feel a little unusual. His Necromancer apprentices sent more than ten ghosts to the south before nightfall, but only half of them came back on time.

Is it that refugee team? Or is it a trap?

Magus scratched his mutilated scalp with some confusion, and countless plump white maggots scattered from his forehead - these small things quickly got into the holes in his eye sockets and cheeks. He chewed

For a moment.

He marked the areas responsible for the missing ghosts on the map, and there was a possibility that the refugee team might exist along that line.

However, since the other party has the ability to counter his ghosts, it means that it may not be that simple. He must ask those treacherous wizard apprentices to send out a second batch of ghosts and further confirm the news. Magus can guess how long this will take, but

Before that, he could urge the zombie army in front of him to speed up further, so that the two boys, Alberton and Wesana, could complete the encirclement.

There is a saying in Madala: No matter how clever a mouse is, it cannot escape from a sealed oil tank——

Under attack from all sides by him, Kabasi, Alberton, Wesa, Diren, Lei Dios and Gulob, no matter how cunning this small refugee team is, they will eventually have no way to escape.

When the sun rises tomorrow morning, the area south of the Pointed Stone Valley will be completely shrouded in the shadow of Bromando's blooming black roses, and Madara will surely win——

Magus reached out and stroked a ghoul that was squatting beside him like a dog. However, this half-zombie general didn't know that when he took everything for granted, in Bran

The squadron leader of the undead army in front of Duozheng was in a dilemma.

In fact, about a quarter of an hour ago, Black Knight Sasar had confirmed that he had lost contact with his two ten-man teams of skeleton cavalry. He very much suspected that he had been targeted by an unidentified Eruin army.

.So it immediately sent spies to contact the 11th Squadron, which was not far from itself. However, no matter whether Sasar sent ghosts or skeleton cavalry, there was no news in the end.

Now the black knight has realized that the problem may be a bit big.

When Brando and the mercenaries appeared on the hilltop, they saw the undead squadron below stopping and preparing to stay in place. Bottom, Leto and Mano hadn't seen any clues from it, but Brando did.

He frowned secretly.

The quality of Madara's middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers is really amazing - the young people wish that the other party's commander would choose to move closer to the friendly forces in the other direction in confusion, so that they can lead the refugees behind to safety

through this empty space.

But the commander of this undead army made the most accurate judgment at the first time.

"What are they doing?"

Voltalon understood a little about Madara's tactics and couldn't help but ask. He looked at Brando again, and he no longer doubted the opponent's ability.

"Stand on guard. The scout cavalry we used to deal with them were too neat and tidy, giving them the illusion that an army three times their size was targeting them," Brando replied.

"Three times? Then why don't they move closer to friendly forces? Aren't they here waiting to be divided and surrounded?"

"Their commander awaits friendly scouts."

"Aren't they afraid that we will also intercept those scouts?" Mano wiped his scimitar and replied casually.

Brando glanced at him and said to himself, "The scouts can intercept them if they want. If they hadn't relied on Gargoyles, the strongest scout type in the 'Amber Sword', how could they have so easily defeated several undead armies?"

Scouts come and go freely within search coverage.

"Killing the scouts is equivalent to telling them that there are enemies in this direction. The reason why we killed the two groups of skeleton cavalry before was because Brando planned to eat this squadron as well." Leto explained on the side.

"Then we don't have much time for this kind of thing?" Mano asked.

"An hour to end the battle and clean up the battlefield." Brando replied.

It was almost twenty minutes later when Freya led the self-defense group into the scene.

When Sasar saw the fir trees on the top of the mountain begin to shake, he finally saw rows of soldiers holding spears coming down from the top of the mountain. He was startled for a moment, and the attire of the other party was the same as any other group in the White Mane Legion that he remembered.

They're all different.

He couldn't help but turn his head and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is that army?"

The corpse witch beside him immediately lowered his head respectfully: "It seems to be a militia."

"militia?"

Sasar was startled. Could the militiamen kill two of his skeleton cavalry quietly? The black knight felt that there was something deceitful about it. He couldn't help but stand up on his horse and made a gesture behind him.

"Change the bow and arrow——"

"Mark one hundred and forty feet, shoot, release -"

The skeleton soldiers immediately took off the long bows from their waists and opened them with a creaking sound. Then they released the bow strings with a 'buzz' sound, and a cluster of black arrows flew high into the sky and whizzed into the fir forest on the hillside.

The mountain wind was very strong, and the arrows were basically inaccurate. But it was very intimidating to the militiamen who had little training. The formation of the Self-Defense Forces slowly walking down the mountain paused and suddenly became chaotic.

But they also had Freya, a girl with a long ponytail riding a horse from the left to the right of the team. She tried to inspire the mercenaries and the light infantry of the White Mane Legion on the right and let them lead them.

Those militiamen attacked.

"Lower your body, lower your head, everyone! Remember what you learned in training! Don't stop, follow me, remember, this is fighting for your family-"

Freya took the lead, holding a long sword and shouting encouragement.

At least it seemed that her work was effective. Under her encouragement, the militiamen quickly regained their courage - the formation once again reorganized, and then slowly pressed down from the mountain.

Sasar frowned, and ordered another wave of arrows to be fired. After adjustment, this time the skeleton soldiers' aim was obviously higher, and several people in the first three rows of the militia fell down in the rain of arrows.

However, after two projectiles, the militiamen became more calm. After overcoming their psychological fear, the effectiveness of projectile weapons was not as great as imagined.

Sasar immediately changed his gesture and pointed at the female knight. The third wave of arrows was obviously aimed at Freya. However, the wind armor on her body immediately flashed with countless light spots, and each arrow flew towards her.

All the arrows were deflected and fell to the side.

This almost magical scene made everyone stunned, and then the militiamen cheered in unison, and couldn't help shouting Freya's name——

"Elf Guards?" Seeing this scene, the Black Knight almost laughed out of anger. Sasar was wondering where this inexplicable army came from.

On the other hand, Brando finally nodded until this moment. Although he was a bit clumsy on weekdays, this scene in front of him proved that Freya was the Valkyrie in his mind after all. She was born for the battlefield.

He took out his pocket watch and took a look.

The time is just right——

Then Brando pulled out the Thorn of Light, and the Elf Sword flashed fluorescently in his hand, and the light suddenly appeared. The sudden flash of light on the battlefield made most people startled. Some people on both sides of the enemy raised their heads and looked over.

.

"Elven sword!" Sasar recognized the sword at a glance. He almost screamed and subconsciously pulled out the sword in his hand.

Brando raised his sword high and shouted: "Char!"

The young sorcerer on the other hand understood the idea and immediately raised the ruby ​​​​in his hand and pointed at it: "Sharp, divided, and the structure of the blade."

A layer of white lines immediately extended to the tip along the elf sword in Brando's hand. They flashed once and then disappeared, leaving only the sword's blade after the spell was solidified - the thorn of light was already extremely sharp, but it was even sharper at this moment.

It is indestructible.

"A new day has arrived, Lord, please remember the maintenance fee." Ciel said with a smile after casting the spell.

Brando smiled slightly.

Then he pointed his sword downward, pointing far away at the position of Black Knight Sasar, which seemed to mean that the next battle was about to begin.
