Of course, the gazes of those cavalrymen only made him pay some attention. He believed that the White Mane Legion was not so ignorant.
Just like his previous plan, Brando had no intention of entering the corrupt system of Eruin, but the refugee issue could not be concealed. He had anticipated this. Therefore, in this way, pursuing freedom and money,
An experienced mercenary becomes the best candidate to take his place in the limelight.
The halo that hangs over a group of people is always dimmer than the one that hangs over a single person. When people think that it is a group of experienced mercenaries who are good at fighting and leading the refugees to fight their way out of thousands of armies, they think.
It will feel natural.
This is for the average person.
The fall of Lidenburg was like a time bomb. No matter what, the Knights Group, who were originally soldiers of the White Mane Legion, could not escape blame after the war. Therefore, a small difference at this time would actually highlight their incompetence.
.If he plays this positive figure alone, his vanity will be satisfied, but the one who smiles happier must be the local nobles.
Brando didn't want to be branded by any force on himself. So after his arrangement, the situation changed:
Because the more people there are in this story, the easier it is to change how the story is ultimately written——
Brando knew that those shrewd nobles would definitely understand this, and the next step would be to see if this cunning guy could do it clean enough; at least how to find a scapegoat to cover all the faults, and then whitewash the whole story.
They are the key to saving face.
But this actually has nothing to do with him. He actually doesn't want to deal with these guys at all, but it's not up to him to choose now.
But at least there is another benefit, that is, the name of "Amber Sword" has become famous.
People's interest in excitement is limited, so except for the few teenagers around Little Phoenix, the citizens outside the Silver Wings Cavalry headquarters quickly dispersed.
Brando also soon met Old Madden. The old guard captain looked worried and hurried over the past few days, so much so that there were several more wrinkles on his face. Brando guessed
No matter what he was worried about, it was just that he couldn't figure out the situation among the nobles.
Within Braggs, the struggle between the local aristocratic forces represented by Earl Nagin and the military aristocracy has reached a fevered stage. Under such circumstances, only a carefree young man like Little Phoenix would devote himself to pursuing those
There are legends in the city——
Thinking of this, he walked over and said hello. Madden remembered this young man who was not afraid of death. This veteran who had experienced the November War couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw him - although the old man heard about the cloth
After hearing the news that nothing happened to Lando and Freya, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked Martha for his blessing.
Then his eyes fell on Freya. The girl with a long ponytail immediately put her hand on her chest and saluted, and replied: "Captain Madden, I'm back——"
Madden then nodded and showed a relieved smile: "Okay, just come back."
But before he finished the sentence, he was inevitably moved by the scene. Thinking of the fact that the villagers in Butchi were still displaced while the nobles were bent on fighting for power and profit, even though he was not from Butchi, he was speechless and choked for a moment.
Seeing that Madden seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, Freya suddenly thought of Aunt Syl's family who died at the hands of Madara, and her eye circles couldn't help but turn red.
Brando saw little Roman keep drifting towards him with his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, saying that this damn girl is careless, but sometimes she is both sharp and shrewd. But wait until you pay attention to this businessman
When she was the eldest lady, she started to show off her good behavior and act petty.
Thinking of this, he walked up and patted Freya on the back to comfort the girl with a long ponytail. Then he said to Madden: "Captain Madden, there is a saying that may be presumptuous. But things between nobles
In fact, you don’t have to think too much, after all, we little people just have to wait obediently for their final decision——"
Madden was stunned, but he didn't expect Brando to see his distress. Although he was a veteran of the November War, he was not good at these intrigues. The exhaustion of these past few days had almost overwhelmed him.
, sometimes he really envied little Phoenix for being such a little devil who could not pretend to have anything in his head.
However, things that seem complicated to Madden, Brando, as a latecomer to history, see things more simply than him. Because in such a situation, the decisions of Madden and his group have no effect, so they might as well
If they don't decide, they just wait for others to help them arrange everything. Although it feels a little helpless to say this, it is the fact.
This is what he wants to tell Madden -
But after Brando made it clear to the veteran, the old guard captain couldn't help being surprised. He looked at Brando doubtfully and asked: "Young man, who are you? These things can't be seen by ordinary people."
I can't see it so clearly, let alone ordinary people, not even me."
His words confirmed Freya's guess. Freya thought that since Captain Madden said so, Brando's identity was certain. Then she went up to tell Brando's identity.
This veteran of the November War - of course, the one about the Highland Knights.
Madden then suddenly realized.
"So you are a noble or a Highland knight." After hearing this, the old guard captain couldn't help but look at Brando in surprise and said, "Speaking of which, when I was young, I had the opportunity to fight side by side with the Highland knights.
, although most people refer to Highland knights as unruly and unruly, but I have to say that they are indeed all heroes."
He glanced at Brando again: "It seems that their juniors are also impatient. Brando, you at least proved it."
"You are exaggerating, Captain Madden."
"No, when you said you wanted to deliver the message from Xavier Pass, I simply thought that you, a young man, were not afraid of death. And if that little girl Roman hadn't insisted on going with you, I would not have supported you."
Den replied: "Of course, later on, I sent Freya to chase you, that's another matter."
"But no matter what, your subsequent performance can be called heroic. Young man, true bravery is not recklessness, but knowing what you are doing. Your behavior is obviously worthy of this."
The old guard captain patted Brando and Freya on the shoulders with both hands: "You are all good, an example for young people in Eruin."
Freya was silent and glanced at Brando. She thought that half of the credit for this was actually Brando's, but no one knew it.
Of course, Brando would not be stupid enough to say it himself——
Then they met with the other members of the Butchi Militia one by one. Ike, Essen and Makmi, who had a good relationship with him, naturally came to congratulate him one after another, especially since Makmi also bought a small barrel of ale from him.
, claiming to have a toast to survive the disaster. Niberto and Vlad, who were taciturn, just patted each other on the shoulders with him. They were not good at talking, but their feelings were naturally included in every move.
The only unexpected situation was that the group met Brayson halfway. The young man was with his father. It was rare that he did not confront Brando, but they just nodded and passed by.
Then Makmi told him that Brayson had been depressed for the past month and had only gotten better recently. Brando couldn't help but be silent for a moment after hearing the news. A man who could blame himself for his dead companions
People, at least, are not too bad, which confirms one of his thoughts.
As the celebration came to an end, some young men from the Blade Cavalry joined in. When Brando saw these young men in the cavalry, Brando couldn't help but look at each other with Bottom.
This shows that his arrangement of spreading 'hate' is relatively successful - after all, jealousy is innate in human beings and is inevitable, but as long as you are a little low-key, you can still win friends.
After the celebration, the old guard captain Madden came to him again to ask him about the nobility. This time Brando specifically asked Freya to stay, and then replied: "Uncle Madden, in fact it seems that the situation has changed."
Understood. The knight force represented by the White Mane Legion will come to contact us soon, which means they have already made a decision. But don’t worry, this decision actually has nothing to do with us. We just need to accept the award with peace of mind.
"
"How do you say that?" Madden asked.
"This is probably the situation. They need people to become heroes. People like you and Freya who have outstanding performance and are from the security force and militia system can make people think of the power of the local army." Brando
He replied: "Uncle Madden, you led the Butch villagers to break out of the siege and delivered timely information to the Vanmeer Fortress. This matter is easy to say, because as long as you, Uncle Madden, are from the security force, your credit will be theirs."
"
"But a group of mercenaries led one or two thousand refugees from Lidenburg to fight their way out of tens of thousands of undead. It's a bit hard to say. If it's not done well, the White Mane Army will become a laughing stock. But on the one hand, these two things
The deeds have spread in Prague, Anzek and even the Dragos area, and they have no choice but to admit it. So how to deal with it becomes a very clever thing."
"So that's it, we are actually just a cover?" Bottom suddenly reacted.
Brando nodded: "So the key falls on Freya."
"Me?" Freya was in trance when she heard it, but she woke up at this time: "Brando, I -"
Madden fell silent at this time. Brando's words were very straightforward, but it was difficult for the old man to accept. Although he also knew some things between nobles, he did not expect that a war would be seen by these nobles.
It turns out it is so simple.
So what are these people fighting for here?
"Freya, don't answer anything yet, just listen to me." Brando glanced at the ponytail girl and said.
Freya was stunned and nodded.
Brando continued: "However, the knight group has its own reserve. They disdain to deal with mercenaries, because in their view, mercenaries are greedy and fighting for money are not real soldiers at all. Dealing with these people is
A very disrespectful approach."
Bottom spat, very disdainful.
Brando looked at him and smiled: "Of course, if they have to, they will still send someone to contact them privately -"
"Hypocritical." Bottom wiped his red beard and replied.
"You can say that, consistent hypocrisy. Or vanity." Brando replied lightly.
"Are the nobles being too short-sighted for thinking this way?" Madden was still a little in disbelief. After all, he had been deeply influenced by the military. He could not believe that those nobles who were at the top could be so shallow and hypocritical.
"Short-sighted?" Brando shook his head. In fact, he can say that he even knows these ancient soldiers better than themselves. These nobles are not short-sighted, nor are they stupid. They should even be said to be too shrewd, and of course they are selfish and greedy.
Just setting an example——
As long as they have power and an army, the nobles can completely rely on themselves. They do not need to worry about the royal family or the lower class people. Even if their territory is invaded - it doesn't matter, Madara will retreat anyway. Even if the prediction is wrong,
With the money they have amassed, they can live a respectable life in any country on Warnd.
In the end, it is the people at the bottom who suffer.
In this case, of course the nobles would indulge in the struggle for power and gain, so why not?
Brando glanced at several people present and continued: "In this way, Freya among us will become the most ideal candidate for whitewashing the military nobles of the White Mane Legion Knight Group, at least she is from the militia.
When civilians first think of the military background."
"But, Uriel can't be the same. He is the captain of the security cavalry of Lidenburg, isn't he more suitable than me?" Freya endured it and did not tell the story about Volonta because Brando strictly ordered
They are prohibited from revealing Fulongta's identity outside.
This will cause them trouble.
Brando shook his head: "On the contrary, at least in Lidenburg, the security cavalry belongs to the local nobles. In fact, it is just a private soldier with a private name. This cavalry team was originally established to contain the swordsmen of the White Mane Legion. You guys
Do you think the White Mane Legion would be so noble as to create prestige for their enemies?"
When Brando said this, everyone present immediately realized that Fleur seemed to be the only possible candidate.
Even Freya herself was startled and fell silent again.
