At the pass in the north of the valley, a small human camp is stationed here. The camp is stationed in a forest clearing surrounded by ancient trees, but it is surrounded by several gray tents. The tents are fixed with ropes and wooden stakes.
Among the rubble, a flagpole was symbolically planted not far away, with the red and white battle flag of the White Legion hanging from it.
There are about a dozen Imperial knights in the camp, but most of them are lying on the ground in a mess. The only ones who can stand are only four. One of them is wearing a fur collar coat and has an obvious aristocratic appearance. It seems that he is the leader of these Imperial soldiers, and
The other three were a lady dressed as a nun, a young nobleman, and a cowering corpse.
Skeleton frame.
There is no doubt that these three people are Sidney, Brando and the Knight of Decay Clot.
'Pa-ta--', Brando frowned and threw the red blessing to the ground, along with some miscellaneous equipment on his body. These equipments were all broken after Bai Yi's battle. Fortunately, Death Frost
After the big explosion in the forest, there was not much left on him. Many of the equipment were temporarily purchased from Belu and Alchemy University.
The secondary magic items that I brought from Shitama to recharge would not be heartbreaking if they break.
The only valuable things are the Gap of Lonia and some rings and necklaces, and the equipment in these parts of rings and necklaces is not easy to damage. As for the Gap of Lonia, it is indeed a classic equipment handed down from the Twilight War era. Under Bai's attack
Unexpectedly, he was unscathed, and it was also thanks to this breastplate, otherwise he might not have waited for Sidney to come.
Save his life.
With Bai's power close to the realm of saints at that time, he could actually suppress the talent of blood without a perfect body. However, after being weakened by one law level by the Gap of Lonya, he could not surpass the laws of the mortal world with only the power at the peak of the extreme realm.
Although he could still be seriously injured, the indomitable talent finally came into play. It can be regarded as saving him.
One life.
However, although the Gap of Lonia was preserved intact, the Gift of Bahamut was not so lucky. As the part that bore the brunt of the white power's impact, this precious gauntlet was directly blown up during the battle.
Half. Brando regretfully collected the fragments of the gauntlet and put them into the dimensional cave, preparing to see what the future holds.
Is there any chance to repair it? This is fantasy-level equipment after all. In "Amber Sword", things are something that can be encountered but cannot be obtained. When thinking of this, Brando's heart was full of dissatisfaction.
Although saying this may be a bit disrespectful to Medisa's sister, that woman was so stingy that she did not explode a piece of equipment after her death. It was as if everything was burned together with her soul, even
The same goes for the fake book of Mavicart. When Brando thought about the book of Mavicart, his heart
They are all bleeding. If he gets the experience from that book, he said that he might be able to be promoted to the peak of the law, and even have a chance to aspire to the Supreme Plains.
But now all that is gone.
He also put on most of his own equipment.
He even had some doubts in his heart. It seemed that since he came to this world, his luck and luck in the "Amber Sword" seemed to have dropped, and there were some artifacts that he had never seen before - even the power crystal.
, the Sword of the Earth, the Gap of Lonia, the Realm of Fire, the Destiny of the Mountains, and the Lion Heart Sword are all the same.
Once it was in his hands, and in fact most of it was not obtained by him in a planned way, if this kind of luck were placed in past games, he would never believe it even if he was killed.
However, the situation that happened after the fight with Bai this time made him feel a little bit back to his previous feelings - Brando found that he was not surprised at all, as if it should be so. On the contrary, it was the previous situation that made him feel
I felt a little uneasy, as if I had done something wrong.
But Brando thought about it carefully. Before this happened, there seemed to be only one change around him - that is, the senior sister came to him again.
"Okay." Brando couldn't help but smashed his mouth and quickly threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind.
Sidney had just walked around outside the camp and returned to the camp. Seeing Brando's actions, he understood where he had taken the holy water from before. However, although the dimensional cave is rare, it is less powerful than Brando's.
There are other things around us - such as the Buga fleet, such as the Valkyrie, which seems to be nothing. What's more, there are rumors outside that this
The young earl from Eruin is an outstanding summoner. Most summoners have their own dimensional holes, so Sidney was not too surprised when he understood this, let alone thought of Amman.
But when she heard Brando muttering there alone, she couldn't help but ask:
"what are you saying?"
Brando woke up. He glanced at the scattered things on the ground and shook his head quickly. "Nothing," he replied, "Just tidying things up."
Sidney didn't even look at the rags on the ground. He only glanced at the nobleman not far away who was immobilized by the wind binding spell, and asked: "How is it? Are you done asking?"
Brando nodded.
The imperial noble in front of them is called Charles. He is a Banker and comes from a knight family. He is currently serving as a knight commander in the White Legion. Their mission this time is to escort Bai and his party to the Perkin Temple. Of course, it is an escort in name.
In fact, it was also surveillance. After Brando inquired, he realized that this was not the first time these people had come out to carry out executions.
This kind of mission, and the potential purpose of their mission should be to find the rule fragments in Fatan Port, but Bai obviously did not tell the truth to these people. The woman obviously had the ability to find the rule fragments in Fatan Port, but she brought these
People go around everywhere, and they don’t know whether they are trying to hide their true purpose or hoping to use it to benefit themselves.
strive for more autonomy.
Perhaps it was a combination of both. After all, if she found the law fragments from the beginning, she might not have time to look around for what she wanted.
However, Brando naturally had no obligation to explain to the guy in front of him who was kept in the dark. He confirmed the authenticity of the words of these people with the Decay Knight Crot, and after receiving a positive reply, he further deceived the people.
More things were revealed, which mainly included the distribution and garrison of the White Legion near Ovehin. Of course, the area
A knight commander may not know much about these military secrets, but Brando himself only needs one. What's more, this man has seen the undead, and he doesn't have much taboo against these skeletons, which means that he must have been exposed to them for a long time.
After Brando asked, it turned out that it was no longer the case that there was an army of the undead stationed near Ovehin.
What's the secret? It's just that the White Legion prohibited everyone except the army from crossing the Golden Needle Forest to Port Fatan, so this news was blocked so tightly.
"Where did those undead come from?" he asked.
"In the mountains -" Sir Charles felt that he was extremely unlucky. Who would be willing to accompany a group of skeletons on a mission at this time of year and feed the cold wind in this mountain pass. This was not enough. Those piles of skeletons really couldn't get anything done and messed up the matter.
, and also implicated himself in it. In fact, Sir Charles was already considering his options. If possible,
Otherwise, he would never say one more word, but the sword in the young man's hand was placed on his neck. The coldness seeping from the blade made him tremble, and he couldn't help but tell the truth.
But he actually couldn't explain why. Most people knew that these skeletons came from the mountains. It was said that they were controlled by several necromancers, and these necromancers surrendered to the legion commander. Now they are
They serve. This is the most widely circulated statement in Oweixin, and it is similar to the official explanation. When Brando asked
When asked, he answered without thinking.
Brando patted the guy's neck with the blade of his sword, looking at his pale face with fright. He couldn't help but sigh that it seemed that the nobles of the empire and the nobles of Eruin were similar. In addition to young people and hot blood,
When I am a little older, I am already colluding with such moths. This is the worst era, but it is also full of opportunities and challenges.
, the dark empire in the east and Cruz both started their reforms for the next hundred years in this era. If Eruin can gain a foothold at this time, he may not be able to find his own way.
As long as there is still time, there is still hope.
However, Charles' words also proved what he had expected. This guy was indeed not a high-level person, and his knowledge of the undead army was limited. I'm afraid most of it was just hearsay. He didn't know much about the inside story.
So he asked another question, that is, whether any troops have been mobilized towards Wallachia recently. Unexpectedly, this time there was an unexpected gain. He keenly observed that Charles shivered, almost subconsciously.
Then I realized that this guy definitely knew something. After some questioning - of course, it was still a sword.
Clearing the way, after using the Earth Sword to make close contact with Sir Charles' neck, the imperial nobleman finally spoke.
I wouldn't know if I didn't ask, but after asking, I realized that this guy actually has a younger brother who happened to be in the mobilized army. There is no doubt that this Lord Knight's younger brother is also a guy with a lax tongue. Although the other person is only in
In this operation, I served as the most peripheral security guard, but I also had a rough idea of what the transfer was like. 1.
A total of sixty-four knights and three knight captains escorted a 'Necromancer' to Boumen. As for the route and some details, they did not know anything about it. This was also consistent with the identity and status of the other party.
But Brando doesn't need these things, because Jutta has discovered this undead army long ago. As for what the necromancer is, Brando knows clearly in his heart, and there is no need to repeat it again in the mouth of an outsider.
And what Charles said is completely enough.
What he was most worried about before was how strong the knights he was escorting were. The highest combat power he could mobilize now was his teacher Mephistopheles. The strength of the extreme realm sounded very scary, but there were also three in the empire.
Five, apart from Vala, there is also David, the head of the Templars, and the chief of the empire.
The palace strategist Amber, the remaining one is the commander of the Red Legion, the strongest of the four sword saints of the empire, the Red Sword Saint Duke - the political tendencies of these people are all loyal to the imperial faction, and they can
Said to be Constance's die-hard loyalist; not to mention that woman has now conquered a line of witches, including the King of Witches, who are extremely powerful
The number of witches and Asgari suddenly doubled, and these witches were elusive. He would never dare to let the Gray Sword Master leave Port Fatan easily before confirming their location.
What's more, there are also the remnants of the mountain people, Seniyas and Min'er people. It is really not surprising to him that one or two secluded extreme powerhouses emerge from these long-standing ethnic groups at any time. Because of this, he cannot
Act carelessly.
Excluding Mephistopheles, the highest combat power he can use is actually the Valkyrie Brynhild sisters. However, although they are ancient arms, their strength is actually limited now. In terms of combat power alone, they are probably better than him.
It's a little worse. Together, they and him have to deal with a real extreme powerhouse without taking any tricks.
If so, unless there is only a pre-arranged sneak attack, there is a slight possibility of winning, but if you face it head-on, you will lose nine times out of ten.
But obviously since the opponent only has sixty-four formal knights and three knight captains, it is simple. According to the level of the White Legion, the formal knights are only at the middle and lower reaches of gold, and the knight captains are probably about the same as the guy in front of them.
, Dingtian Golden Peak, even if some outstanding individuals may have reached the stage of element manifestation, but
Not even in his eyes.
Not to mention the manifestation of elements, so what if he is enlightened? He has the elements of time and space, has experienced several enlightenments between life and death, and has also been exposed to the realm of saints, and even things at the level of existential power. On the side of truth, this
Unless there is someone in the environment who has mastered the same level of elements as him and has the same experience as him, otherwise he really has no chance.
There's nothing to be afraid of. He might be able to kill someone with a single face-to-face with that half-baked element of enlightenment or even truth.
After thinking about this, Brando turned the hilt of his sword and knocked the guy unconscious, so that Sir Charles, who had been frightened to the point of collapse, finally passed out 'happily'. Then he turned around and faced the man beside him.
Sidney said: "Ms. Sidney, since we are already an alliance, I will go to war with Her Majesty the Queen soon. As a
Ally, I'm not polite, there are some things I may need to entrust you to handle right away."
Sidney nodded, acquiescing to the relationship, and asked: "Please speak."
Brando told the story in detail, and the saint statue of the Lion Palace listened silently, but nodded occasionally. Time passed quickly, and suddenly there was a clear bird song in the valley, and Brando raised his head and said
Looking in that direction, he recognized the sound of a cuckoo. There were many such birds in the Metz, and in Wallach there were even many white cuckoos.
The cuckoo is called a sacred bird by the mountain people, but you can't see that beautiful little creature here.
He silently took out two communication crystals, activated them respectively, and whispered to them:
"Ciel, Jutta——"
