Act XII: The Legacy of the Sage

Legend has it that in the era of the sages, the ancestors carved out a shelter in the valley, and there are statues of the ancient kings at the mouth of the valley, and a dark creature trying to enter will attract lightning strikes, and even within a kilometer of the valley, the dark power will be suppressed to a minimum.

Then, in the Age of Darkness and Turmoil, the flakes, elves, and dwarves emerged from the sanctuary and defeated the dragon of twilight, Scourge, under the leadership of the Azure Knights, before the beginning of the Year of Chaos.

"It is the relics of the Sage, the guardian valley of the King," replied Her Royal Highness Overwell.

"How could he find that kind of place?" The black tea has been changed, but Her Royal Highness still hasn't put her mind on it. Even the gold-rimmed white porcelain teacup she liked was also left out in the cold, but her slender fingers pinched the silver spoon and fiddled with it intentionally or unintentionally.

"The young man should have known in advance, but he didn't know the general situation." Beat Verwell replied.

"But his way of finding the way is a little ingenious, your Royal Highness Princess, you should have heard that the witch king of Bunosson has inherited the power of fate and stars from generation to generation, and the great wizard of Buga, the council of the towers, also has a faction that believes that the power of stars and life comes from the blind goddess Elaine."

"I thought it was a story like a myth."

"Not necessarily."

"Can I continue listening?

"But Your Highness, your court teacher, Sir Panozhon, should be waiting for you."

The girl smiled and said slyly, "It's already late, Lord Verver." So go on, and I'm going to hear how they spent the night. ”

Overwell smiled, expecting this, and continued, "Then our story will begin with a legend, a story about a king and a white stag. ”

It was completely dark, and at night, the wind swept through the clouds, making the rolling cold forest rattle like the waves of the sea.

Freya stared at the dark sky with a worried expression. The wind tossed her hair, and the girl grabbed the hand of her best companion with one hand, and couldn't help whispering, "Is that fellow Brando sure of it?" What kind of place to talk about the bones of the saints, but even the locals like Leto and Uncle Mano have never heard of that kind of place."

"Rest assured, Brando is the most fine." The merchant lady looked at the stars behind the clouds and replied as a matter of course.

"You didn't even think about it."

"I don't need to."

Talking to this woman with a blank brain couldn't help but make Freya angry, and she immediately realized that her nervousness seemed to have faded a lot. She couldn't help but think that Roman and Brando seemed to share some kind of common trait that could be reassuring.

But Brando is calm and confident, Roman is carefree, and the pony-tailed girl suddenly feels that she doesn't know what to do when she encounters difficulties without them by her side.

But it was at this time that there was a sudden exclamation among the refugees. Freya and Roman turned back together, and in disbelief, they saw a suffocatingly beautiful creature suddenly appear in the center of the camp, it was a transparent white male body, showing the most perfect proportions of this elegant and noble creature, with slender limbs, a strong body, and long horns on its head as sharp as the blade of a sword.

It didn't seem to be the creature that should exist in the human world, it jumped up and stood on a rock, its body surrounded by spots of light that flew up and down like fireflies.

Not only them, but even Leto, Mano and Barto's party all stood up at this moment. Brando, holding the stag's pedestal farther away, stood with the alchemist Tama and watched the stag jump onto the rocks in a few leaps, nodding to them, and running away.

"The finished product is a little flawed, but after all, the conditions are limited, and it is very rare to be able to do this." Brando said. He was still very satisfied with his first alchemical product. Both Charles and Tamar agreed, but the young wizard Hu asked anyway, "My lord, how true do you say that the king guards the valley?" ”

"You know that thing?" Brando was stunned.

"Of course, ancient knowledge is a must for wizards, and many schools of magic originated in the era of sages."

"I can vouch for the authenticity, but the valley is in the fog, and its location is uncertain. I can only hope that Lady Elaine will give her a little more strength tonight, so that my precious deer can find her way faster. ”

Brando's heart said that of course, the land of the Sage's bones is also very famous in the game, countless people have been there, and many more speculate that it may contain a huge secret one

It's just that no one has ever gotten anything out of it, and he's been there, but what he's found is the same as everyone else.

That's not found

"Powerful?" Tamar asked.

"It depends on whether the goddess Elaine is favored or not, and Brando replied.

"What happens if you don't take care of it?" Charr overturned.

Brando didn't answer this time, and at least three to six thousand skeletons and zombies followed, with "dead maggots" in front of them. With the elite troops of Kabais, and the ghost of Yougo in the mountains and forests, this night may be really difficult.

He saw the white stag in front of him causing a cheer among the refugees, and then ran away to Jean. The other side of the valley stopped, and Brando knew that the night's adventure had begun

He looked at the time, eleven o'clock.

So he ordered the refugees to march out of the camp, armed with spears... Parallel to the ranks of the refugees, two long, dark dragons hid along the valley, and with the light of the stars and the moon, there was no need for torches.

Finally, with more than fifty riders in the back of the scab, Brando and Charles turned on their horses and drew their swords, a gloomy color on the spine of the Spike of Light, proving that there were no undead nearby.

"Let them follow Bailu forward, it will bring us Wei Yun!" Brando, with his sword in his hand, turned his horse's head and said to all his knights.

Mano rode up on his horse, and asked loudly behind him, "My lord, can we really get through that valley to get ahead of the Madara army?"

"Of course."

"I don't doubt you, my lord, but it's unbelievable."

"That's true, but you just have to trust me at this point. I'm not going to joke with you with my life, little

"What to do with the army of the undead in front From here to the north, there are at least three columns of Madara wandering in the mountains, some from the Pinnacle Valley, some from the side of the deer hunting forest. I suspect it's the White Knight and the "Ghouls." of the advance force. A non-commissioned officer from the White-Maned Swordsman asked Brando, who called him Voltaron.

He had fought this man once in Riddenberg, and he remembered that he had broken the guy with his sword, or maybe he was mistaken, or maybe it was two other people. It was just too confusing.

And this non-commissioned officer seems to have a deep prejudice against him, although he is completely convinced in terms of swordsmanship. But when it comes to tactics, you always have to stand up and play against him.

"What's more, we still have "dead maggots" behind us. Magus' pursuers. The non-commissioned officer continued: "Fight them hard, and we'll die." ”

Brando looked at him, he really needed an officer from the White-Maned Swordsman Regiment to restrain the soldiers from that part of his hands, so he didn't get angry, but replied, "They will always have loopholes." ”

"What vulnerability?" Voltaron grabbed the reins and asked.

Brando, of course, wouldn't reveal the gargoyle's secrets to him, and some of them knew he had control over the monster, but they didn't know what he could do with it.

"We go around to" dead maggots. Later, they will be able to pass through guò in half an hour at most Here he thought for a moment and said on a whim.

Everyone was silent, and even the mercenaries who had begun to convince him couldn't help but wonder if this guy was crazy.

But Leto said, "Good way, if you can seize the opportunity." ”

Brando turned his head and glanced at this guy in surprise, this is not an ordinary boldness, he has only done this in the game once in the gap between the opponent's blockade line, maybe to defeat one or two squadrons, and then sneak behind another squadron to follow forward It is not impossible to do so, but it requires a great grasp of the battle situation, and it must also be able to contain the enemy's "eyes." Yes.

Even if Brando had this certainty, he only said it in passing, but he didn't expect Leto to see the opportunity here, and he dared to make a desperate bet.

Everyone was stunned again. But this time it was Mano's turn to speak, and this guy finally reacted and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll also bet on one."

But with one or two thousand refugees behind enemy lines?

Except for Mano, Leto, and Brando, everyone else, along with Freya, thought they were all three. Isn't it crazy. But Brando was very calm, he looked at the gargoyle in the sky, and of course understood what his greatest dependence was. ”。

"Dead maggots. Magus had known since this morning that there was another group of refugees in the direction of Silversparrow Mountain, and they had fled before dawn and killed one of his skeletal cavalry.

It didn't pay much attention at first, though, as most of the refugees had fled into the Deer Hunting Hills in a piecemeal manner, compared to the group of refugees in the Pinnacle Valley with the White-Maned Swordsmen who were at the heart of its day's operations with Kabais.

Humanity is truly vulnerable.

The battle seemed to it to be as easy as expected, the Whitemane Legion, known as the regular legion of Eruin, was just as vulnerable to the army of Madara, the Ouroboros pursuit throughout the day, and the final perfect fatal blow, before the sun set. The whole battle was over.

Although the advance force was reduced to Yan zhòng, it was nothing more than cannon fodder, and the ghouls and the skeleton cavalry of Kabais almost did not have any losses.

In comparison, it was the battle last night that made his heart ache. More than forty skeleton cavalry, it takes a long time to accumulate.

Only then did Magus turn his attention to this group of refugees, and the death order given to them by Lord Tagus was to blockade the Pinnacle Valley, and every army involved in the battle did not dare to be careless.

But he immediately noticed something unusual.

The other party seemed to be very proficient in how to evade the detection of his necromancer's skeleton vultures, and they had only caught the team a few times throughout the day, but eventually lost their sights.

This does not bode well.

Under the dim fire of the soul, Magus spread out the parchment map and drew several circles within the confines of the Silver Sparrow Mountain

Tian lived up to expectations and succeeded in three more, but everyone's votes were compared
