"I don't know where those guys come from. They may have accents from the Erdike area, or they may be smugglers from Graywater Bay. In short, they may be people from that area. There are about ten of them, and most of them are the above-mentioned ones."
people, but two or three of them were quite different. They were taller and their accents were more like locals. Once, Nibeto noticed that these people all used the same sword - that kind of comparison.
A relatively thin saber with two wings embossed on the guard... These guys live in an abandoned hunter camp in the forest. They rarely go out and rarely interact with outsiders. At least they are there.
We stayed there for half a month. At first, Captain Madden sent people to monitor them, but we found that their scope of activities was very narrow and they had little interaction with us. Over time, no one paid attention to them. These people are not very powerful.
It is particularly outstanding. Of course, there may be one or two troublesome ones among them, but there is nothing to fear... I heard that the abandoned hunter camp was left before the war, and the original owner had already fled to the north.
So I put it aside. The campground is not far from here. After entering the forest and walking south, you will see a path leading to that place in about an hour and a half."
According to Little Phoenix's description, Brando brought - or rather escorted this group of patrolling cavalry into the forest. The first round of the full moon, the Golden Sea, had already fallen below the horizon, and the second round of the moon, Maya, had just risen.
As they climbed up the mountain, the gray moon hung in the sky. They headed south along the foot of the hillside illuminated by the slanting moon. A path weaved between twisted shrubs. It didn't take long for them to find the hunter's camp described in the description.
The moonlight was very bright that night, and you could clearly see that the camp was located in a mountain valley a few miles away. Brando stood in the woods on the top of the mountain and looked at the hunter camp, while confirming to little Phoenix beside him:
"Is it there?", and soon received a positive reply: "That's it, Brother Brand." Little Phoenix whispered: "Captain Madden used to bring us here for training, but some time ago the skeletons made a fuss.
It's so powerful that other people have taken over this place." He boasted again: "Honestly, if Captain Madden hadn't told us not to cause trouble, I would have led people to blow them away. Those guys are not the same at first sight.
What a good man, ouch——"
Freya took back the hand that violently hit little Phoenix on the head, and gave this guy an annoyed look. After not seeing each other for more than a year, this little guy had vaguely replaced her as the new leader of the Butcher Militia.
According to the trend, Essen and Makimi are more mature than him, but young people prefer capable leaders. If he was still in Butchi, this little guy would never dare to be so careless. He would dare to take everyone there.
Fighting, Freya became extremely angry when she thought of this. In the past, the Butchi militia under her leadership had never been synonymous with causing trouble.
Although the young men patrolling the cavalry were all frowning, they couldn't help but snicker at this time. Little Phoenix rubbed his red forehead and looked at them, feeling that his self-esteem was hurt, and said angrily: "Why, you think I
Don’t you have the ability?”
"Of course not, little Mr. Phoenix, we admire you very much."
"Yes, yes!" the patrolling cavalry quickly replied.
Ou Jin also complimented: "The earl's little friend has amazing swordsmanship talent, and he will definitely achieve extraordinary things one day."
Brando glanced at Little Phoenix, and he agreed very much with this. In this era, Butchi had two outstanding figures, one Freya and the other Brayson, but Little Phoenix's swordsmanship talent was even far greater than this.
Between the two of them, he didn't know whether this boy died in Butchi in history. Eruin did not have such a shining name later. "Little Phoenix, what are your plans for the future?" Brando asked.
"Captain Madden wants to recommend me to the garrison in the Manorville area. He has some old friends there who can make some moves." Little Phoenix didn't hide anything about Brando.
"Okay," Brando nodded noncommittally: "What do you think?"
Little Phoenix stared at him: "Brother Brando, I want to learn swordsmanship from you."
Somehow, Brando suddenly thought of Haruze, and he nodded silently. This was actually an idea he had suddenly had before. When he saw the outstanding swordsmanship talent of little Phoenix, he thought that he could not let such a pearl wander.
The thought of gathering dust here; there is no name Phoenix in history, but there must be a place for this boy in this world. He had such a premonition when he left Butchi, but looking back now, Eruin may have missed it
A true genius.
Given time, it is entirely possible for little Phoenix to grow into a swordsman like his grandfather. When Brando thought this, he did not consider that his current reputation had a tendency to inherit Darus' status, especially in the aristocratic circle.
Here, many people already know that Darus has a grandson. He is only in his early twenties, and he already has the elements of enlightenment and the strength of a sword master. After the Anson era, Eruin will have a real grandson in the blink of an eye.
The sword master.
"Brother Brando, do you agree!?" Little Phoenix shouted excitedly.
"Brando, don't spoil him too much," Freya couldn't help but interjected: "The captain must have his reasons for his arrangement. I think you'd better ask Uncle Madden first."
"Sister Freya, don't turn your elbows outward!"
"Hey, tell me why my elbow turned outward. Brando is not an outsider!"
"For the eldest sister, Brother Brand is indeed not an outsider, so I made a mistake."
"You...you guy!" Freya was almost angered to death by what little Phoenix said.
Brando laughed at the bickering between the siblings, feeling as if he had returned to Butcher's time. He didn't care at all about Freya's worries. Madden arranged for little Finneas to go to Manowell to join the police force. Then
It's because they don't know the situation between him and Freya. Now that they have returned to Butch, they are afraid that without him saying anything, Madden will also come to ask him. Where does little Phoenix have a better future? The one who participated in November
Veterans of the war will not know this.
He looked at the hunter camp in the col again. He didn't come here on a whim, wanting to pretend to be the Sheriff of Braggs, but there was a sentence in Little Phoenix's description of those people that caught his attention -
—'There are about ten of them, most of them are the above-mentioned people, but two or three of them are different. They are taller and their accents are more like locals. One time Nibetto noticed these people.
Several people use the same sword - a relatively long and thin saber with two wings embossed on the guard.' - This is a typical cavalry sword, and there is only one in Golan-Elsen.
This kind of sword would be used by this kind of person, that is, the white-winged cavalry. The decoration on the sword also showed this from the side, so these three people were probably deserters. He thought of the last few things that Test left behind last night.
With these words, a strong alarm suddenly arose in his heart, prompting him to go find out.
However, he did not tell Freya and Little Phoenix. After all, this was just a guess.
The group of people quickly reached the vicinity of the camp. Brando ordered the patrol cavalry to surround the entire camp. I don't know if they were trying to show off, or if these young people from Prague really showed how much they wanted to do.
According to their abilities, under the leadership of Ou Jin, they spread out quietly and quickly controlled the surrounding area of the camp. After everyone got closer, they saw several scattered wooden houses scattered in the woods, each one as tall as one person.
A wooden wall surrounded the camp, but the wooden wall was in tatters and full of gaps. The camp was overgrown with weeds and looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time. This alone could indicate that these people did not intend to stay here.
Living for a long time, in this era, refugees are basically equivalent to desperadoes.
Ou Jin looked at it twice and told Brando: "These guys are really coming back. They are so bold. I thought they would at least change places."
With Brando's keen perception, he had naturally heard twelve breathing sounds in the room. He thought to himself that he was in charge of local security and seemed to be quite capable. He looked at the patrolling cavalry captain with some curiosity.
Asked: "How did you judge it?"
Eugene glanced at the earl strangely and pointed to the second room. Brando couldn't help coughing slightly as soon as he looked at it. It turned out that there was a night watchman sitting at the door of that room.
The guy. He patted his forehead lightly and listened to the sound, but he didn't notice that there was a gangster right in front of him. This was so humiliating, so he quickly shut up and pretended to have a serious look on his face, so as not to
Let others see that his lord, the earl, has actually made a fool of himself.
Brando listened carefully for a moment and found that, as Little Phoenix said, the strength of these people was very ordinary. The guy who stayed in the night watch was about as strong as Black Iron Shangyou, and the others were also at the same level as him. The third room
There was a silver-level guy there. Because he was too far away, Brando couldn't tell what level he was in silver, but he probably wouldn't be above the median level. After judging this, he suddenly felt a little disappointed. These people were too good.
Worse, even if they are cultists, they probably won’t be core figures. In Warnd, such desperadoes are not uncommon everywhere. They often travel around to commit crimes, committing murders or other shocking crimes.
However, their world obviously has no intersection with his.
After Brando confirmed this, he shook his head in disappointment, and then made a gesture to the patrolling cavalry on the side.
The meaning of that gesture was to tell the patrolling cavalry how many people there were in the room, where they were located, and what their strength was. This was a tactical gesture often used by the patrolling cavalry. Brando used it with ease, and Ou looked at it with ease.
Jin was also stunned, thinking that the earl was also from the patrol cavalry? Of course, he never thought that Brando would be a low-level guy like them, most likely a high-level commander of the patrol cavalry or a knight commander.
character, but little did he know that his previous idea was closer to the truth.
Although these cultists seem to be just a few thieves, Brando does not intend to let go since he encounters them. He does not intend to take action personally, but will give this credit to these young people who patrol the cavalry. After all, these
The young man walked with him for half a night in the wilderness, there was always something to gain, right? Even if they didn't do it voluntarily.
Under the instruction of Brando and Ou Jin, the young patrolling knights immediately took action. They first entered the camp and quietly killed the night watchman - just as Ou Jin said, these helpless people
The gangsters were so daring that there was only one person keeping vigil in the whole camp, and even the man doing the vigil was actually dozing off - they obviously didn't expect that the patrolling cavalry would come to their home to inspect the cavalry.
The young men didn't wake up the gangsters until they entered the third room, and the fight broke out almost immediately.
The silver-level cultist was the first to react. He grabbed his sword and rushed towards the patrolling cavalry. Ou Jin also rushed over with his sword. The swords in their hands flashed together, but neither could do anything to the other.
Obviously, this cultist was also quite troublesome for the patrolling cavalry captain. But unfortunately, this guy's men seemed to be rather weak. They quickly fell one by one under the siege of the patrolling cavalry. In the end, only that person was left in the room.
The leader of the cultist was fighting alone. He probably knew that there was no hope of breaking out, so he suddenly let out a roar, turned the tip of the sword and inserted it into his throat with a pop, and he fell to the ground immediately and died.
The battle ended faster than expected. Brando was a little shocked at the combat effectiveness of these patrolling knights, and then he was relieved. Everything at the moment did not explain how powerful the kingdom's patrolling cavalry were, but just the opposite.
It is because the cavalry responsible for local security perform so poorly on weekdays that these criminals dare to be so bold. They obviously did not expect that this local security team composed of the sons of nobles would raid in the middle of the night.
They, if Brando hadn't let them witness this fact with his own hands, they would have thought this was a fantasy.
However, the young patrolling knights were obviously not aware of this. They happily escorted the gangsters - but Fan Fan was still breathing - out of the house one by one. Little Phoenix was not willing to be left behind, so he naturally caught them with his own hands.
One of them was killed. These cultists lined up in a row outside the camp. There were still five of them left. Most of the others had their throats cut in their sleep. Brando glanced at the taller of the remaining five.
He paid special attention to the two swords thrown in front of them. Sure enough, as Little Phoenix said, they were two cavalry swords of the White Winged Cavalry.
As for the third person, Brando knew very well that he was probably dead.
"Did you ask anything?" He turned back to ask Ou Jin.
Oujin shook his head at Brando with a smile. He was slightly older than the young people under his command, but he was only in his thirties. According to Warnd Continent's calculation, he was still a young man, and he was still a young man.
The captain of these patrolling cavalry teams, his men had already found out in previous searches that these people were all cultists of the All Things Return to Unity Association. This was a great achievement. They captured twelve cultists in one fell swoop, and five more.
Living, not to mention there are three deserters from the White Wings Cavalry Regiment among them, Eugen can almost see a medal waving to him.
He replied to Brando with a smile: "Your Majesty, these guys are all cultists, they are very tough-talking, and they won't say anything, but it doesn't matter, they are dead anyway. When they are sent back, they will be dead before next week."
You don’t need to be hanged. When the time comes, I’ll arrange a better stand and invite you to come and visit in person.”
Brando didn't have any bad taste in visiting the hanging, or it wasn't something he cared about at all. He shook his head, but he also understood that what Okin said was not wrong, but any member of the All-Union Society would go down to such a level.
Most of the desperadoes, up to the nobles like Anlek, are obsessed with their own thoughts and will never look back until they die. They probably also understand that once their identity is exposed, they will die, so they don't have any luck.
psychology.
But this means that his trip tonight was in vain.
When he was thinking this, a young patrolling knight suddenly ran out of the house. He waved something in his hand and shouted excitedly: "My lord, another piece of evidence has been found."
The guy ran closer, and Brando saw that he was holding a map. He opened it in front of Ou Jin like a treasure. Brando immediately understood why the guy was so excited: the map drawn on this map should
It was the street terrain in Fort Bragg, very detailed, and a typical military map. When Brando looked at the two wing marks on the map, he understood that this might be a map used internally by the White Wings Cavalry Regiment.
Privately collecting military maps was already a serious crime in this era, let alone stealing them from the army.
Brando narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the same time he felt Freya touch his hand lightly.
Freya also knew how to read military maps. She saw two light red circles on the map at a glance, one of which was marked on No. 52 Gravedigger Street.
"Brando." She reminded in a low voice.
Brando understood, and immediately turned his head and whispered in her ear: "Freya, go and call Antitina right away."
"Antitina...?"
Brando nodded. He already thought he had guessed wrong, but he didn't expect that there would be another bright spot - these deserters from the White Wings Cavalry Regiment in front of him, and the one who went to the gallows and also belonged to the Gathering of All Things.
McGask, the leader of the White Wings Cavalry, Test's last cry, plus this map - a bright or dark line seemed to have appeared in front of his eyes. But he was a little strange, these
Why do the guys from All Things Unity always get entangled with Antitina? What can be interesting about her as a noble?
Brando thought about it carefully, and then shook his head in confusion. This matter was completely strange. Tester and McGusk were obviously upper-level members of the All-Union Society, and logically speaking, it seemed like a matter of concern to them at this level.
, obviously it’s not the turn of these cannon fodders to intervene, what’s the trick here?
Thinking of this, he turned back and patted Ou Jin on the shoulder: "Mr. Captain, I hope you can do me a favor."
"What's the business?" Ou Jin looked at the earl with a slight start.
"I think the identities of these people may not be as simple as they appear on the surface. I suggest you don't send them to prison in Prague first, but find a place to interrogate them." Brando replied.
Ou Jin hesitated for a moment and nodded immediately. He was obviously more unwilling to offend Brando than to get credit.
Brando smiled at him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Captain, don't worry, the credit will definitely belong to you and your boys."
When Eugene heard Brando thank him, he was immediately elated, thinking that he might have made the best decision this time.
