Brando looked at Freya's silence, knowing that she might not be able to figure out the joints for a while. This is also normal. After all, this country girl has never been exposed to the complicated and ancient business between these nobles.
.
But to put it bluntly, it is actually very simple, it is nothing more than a benefit.
So he simply opened the topic and said frankly: "I know it's hard for you to accept this. But that's the fact. Even if we just do this, it's not enough - because to put it bluntly, we are just a pawn in the hands of the nobles, and they only care about this.
Whether the chess piece will have any effect or not will not concern the life or death of the chess piece itself."
Freya was startled and raised her head to look at him again.
Madden frowned and sighed. What Brando said undoubtedly confirmed what he had seen in the past few days. The nobles unanimously said that they would be rewarded immediately. Everyone was enthusiastic, but to put it bluntly, it was still
In order to achieve the other party's goal, what can they get in the end? It may be the promotion of one or two people, a small reward or even just honor.
But the things he mentioned several times about the homeless villagers in Butchi always came to nothing.
"Freya," Brando also turned around now, looked into Freya's light brown eyes, and said, "You want to protect Butchi's villagers, if you just have the hope that after the war is over, everyone will get
I’m afraid you will be disappointed with such a naive and unrealistic idea of receiving awards and commendations, and then returning to your hometown together to happily and safely return to your past life.”
"Brando?"
"If you just have the idea of relying on others, you will become an outcast that the nobles will abandon after using you." He interrupted her and continued.
If Brando said this earlier, Freya would not believe it. But after seeing so much along the way, she more or less realized this, so the girl with a long ponytail hesitated and asked
: "But what should I do, Brando?"
"Of course I have to grow up and become a person who can protect others." Brando replied.
"I understand, but I -" Freya couldn't help but replied eagerly. She thought that she was just a small militia captain, how could she grow to the same level as those high-ranking nobles? The country girl thought about it again and again.
Thinking about it, I still think it’s unlikely.
"Are you worried about yourself?" he asked.
Freya nodded.
"Don't be anxious, the opportunity will come soon. Trust me, do you still remember what I said?" Brando smiled and replied.
Freya was stunned for a moment.
Brando understood, in fact, that he had not revealed his real plan. In fact, he hoped that this girl with a long ponytail could enter the Wangli Cavalry Academy, receive higher education, and learn the most orthodox command and tactical knowledge of the kingdom.
Because on the one hand, he didn't want to change the path that the future Valkyrie had taken, and on the other hand, he really needed someone to enter the upper echelons of the kingdom.
From the current point of view, Roman has no such idea at all, and the only person who has an idea and whom he can trust is probably Freya.
In terms of security, there is no need to consider it. The Royal Academy is located in Weilan, south of Anlek. It is one of the private territories of the royal family. It was one of the earliest territories that Her Royal Highness the Princess took control of during the December civil strife, so there will be no problem.
.
And this incident itself was of no harm to Freya.
Because in fact, Eruin's classical military command and tactics are not backward. The war-torn history has left many outstanding military commanders and tactical ideas to this country - but its internal group has been too degenerate, resulting in these legacies.
It's just useless.
Just like during the Renaissance, Eruin also had a group of outstanding young officers. Brando believed that Efreya's seriousness would absorb knowledge like a sponge in this atmosphere. After she had accumulated enough experience,
, will quickly emerge and attract the attention of Her Royal Highness the Princess just like in history.
Brando remembered that historically it was in June of the following year, at the 64th Spearsmanship Competition of the Wangli Cavalry Academy, that Freya met the eldest princess of Eruin. Maybe there will be some changes in history, but he
The butterfly hadn't had time to flap its wings yet, so he figured the change wouldn't be too big.
And especially, he eagerly wanted to use Freya to understand what the future regent Princess Grifiine Korcova Manofi, who was just sixteen years old this year, was thinking.
Brando thinks there is a conflict of core interests between himself and Her Royal Highness the Princess. She wants to revive the kingdom, and Brando also wants to try to change Eruin's final fate. Only the genius of the Corcova family can
After reaching that point, Brando was worried that the half-elf girl who was born in the royal family would not be able to let go of the interests of the nobles in the end.
Brando, on the other hand, is not the same. He is still adhering to the dream left over from the game. He cannot forget the like-minded companions who fought side by side with him in the past, and the scenes that happened in history.
Can he watch Eruin finally fall into the flames of war? Remember the day when the royal capital Menstros was captured, the palace and city were burning in flames, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. On that day, he and many players were ordered to come from the north
After retreating, many people cried when looking back at their hometown in the south on the road.
The time is too short for them to change.
Can he watch Freya fight with all her strength to die in the Crimson Canyon of Dalal? I remember that all of them fought desperately that day. He alone lost more than seven levels, and players like him even more
Countless.
But what is the result?
Brando looked at Freya, who had not turned her head to look here. At this moment, the Valkyrie was still like the girl next door. At that time, she had been wearing a silver sunflower armor and holding a hand embroidered with the black pine leaf emblem.
The square flag - known as the symbol of Eruin's courage.
But in the end, they still failed to protect the main flag. The Valkyrie in the silver armor finally died standing in that war. Perhaps she at least fulfilled her promise:
Shed every last drop of blood for this land.
It's a pity that Eruin is too weak and too old. The three legions stopped moving forward, and Cruz's reinforcements stood by and watched. On the day of the decisive battle, apart from Freya's own legion, there were only players besides the players.
Thirty-six thousand players sworn to die are nothing more than pebbles in the way in front of Madara's army.
What about Princess Grifiine, who is known as the Pearl of Corcova and the Brilliant Star of Eruin? She married Archduke Anlek, whom she did not like, for the sake of the kingdom. She was unhappy all her life, and in the end she could not escape the return of all things.
The society's conspiracy was killed in a murder.
In that world, the only players left in Eruin were them.
His former captain, his seniors and seniors had left the Amber Sword for many years, but every time they talked about the past battles at a gathering, everyone still couldn't help but remain silent and their eyes became astringent.
Eruin's spirit no longer exists.
Brando looked at Freya, then at Roman and the elderly Madden beside him. Could he tolerate this happening again? He shook his head. Maybe if he didn't know what was going to happen, he could choose to escape alone.
, with his knowledge of this world, he might create a legend.
It's a pity that God allowed him to come to Eruin at the moment when the first Black Rose War broke out, and let him get to know Roman, Freya and everyone else involved in this history. Brando may understand that he has
What kind of mission has it shouldered?
If he wants to change history, he cannot take into account the interests of certain people. He will clear out everyone who stands in his way. But he also understands that there is a voice in his heart telling him: Brando, if you take this road
, you may have to face the local nobles with deep-rooted influence throughout the territory of Eruin, including the five historically powerful Grand Dukes. Even the proud Princess Regent has to choose to compromise in front of them.
You even have to face Madala, which is growing stronger and entering the most glorious period in history. Its talented generals are emerging in endlessly - 'Black Lord' Instaron, 'One-Eyed General' Tagus, 'Immortal' Wei
Rand, August the Pride of the Black Rose, Greta the Sword of the Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor holding the mercury staff, all of them are unparalleled geniuses - how can a Valkyrie born from a commoner
It may stand in the way of history. Even if you are added to it, what will happen?
In the north, the Cruz people are also watching everything indifferently. Brando, today's Eagle Empire is no longer the ancient, benevolent cradle of human civilization, the pride of the plateau people, and the eleventh emperor of the Grand Tote.
This son is presiding over a reform of iron and blood, and the war machine is playing vigorously. Taking the appearance of the earth stone as an opportunity, the third holy war will soon begin.
By that time, Madara, Cruz and even the northern kingdoms of Buga will be nothing more than pawns on a huge chess game, fighting for survival.
Are you really sure to face all this? Brando, if you choose so, Eruin will have to face almost the entire world - because you chose to stand on the opposite side of history.
But Brando shook his head and threw away the cold thought that was lingering in his mind. He had thought about all this when he led the group of refugees to fight a bloody road from Lidenburg. Even if he was facing a world, he could
Brando's pride comes from the fact that he was once a player in this world - this identity is like a collection of countless figures in another world, and it symbolizes a group of people's challenge to the original rules of this world.
It may be a bit arrogant to think so.
But Brando believes that not trying to do it, just trying to do it, at least to make up for regrets.
So this isn't just Freya's choice, it's his as well.
That's why he feels pressed for time - at least he must have a certain amount of power and voice during the small period of peace between the end of the Black Rose War and the beginning of the civil strife in December. Any way to get promoted within this decadent system
They are all unreliable. He does not have that time. In this troubled world, the only way to quickly gain the rights of a former chess player is to obtain territory and an army.
