The guest is naturally an acquaintance of Brando's - the pearl in Grayfin Naga's hand was also given to him by the Naga Queen Hanlu through the hand of Sanior, and it is a magic prop for the communication between Naga, but unfortunately the production of this thing is limited, otherwise he can have one important person around him

As soon as the black pearl shone brightly, Brando immediately realized that Sanir had arrived, but the first thing to react was the sentry set up by the white lion guards on the periphery, and the young people from Tonigel naturally recognized Naga and led them directly

The first thing Brando saw was the burly, taller than-normal Sanir, and beside him was a female Naga - female Naga was charming, but not human, with pointed webbed ears, smooth skin, three thin gills above each collarbone, and a snake from the navel down the navel like the male Naga

Brando was a little strange at first how Saniel hadn't joined up with Antitina and traveled by sea to Tonigel, but as soon as he saw the female Naga, he also happened to know, Bridget, one of the main priestesses beside Queen Handew

In the Naga clan, the presiding over the rituals and wars are all women, such as Sanir, although he is a warrior, but he is only a warrior on the front line, although he later coincidentally leads the Greyfin Naga clan, but that is a special case, usually the Naga is still a matriarchal clan society

And Naga, a noble-born woman like Bridgette, appeared in the army, mostly as an accompanying sacrifice, in fact, the role was equivalent to that of a prisoner

Brando immediately understood that the other party was coming to form an alliance with him, which also explained why the Harbor Guards of Ampesel Harbor were going to the problem, and it seemed that from the very beginning, the Naga clan had made up their minds to participate in this war

And as soon as the other party spoke, it confirmed his guess:

"My lord, we have been commanded by the Queen, and in accordance with the sacred covenant of the ages, to fight alongside the allies of mankind," Bridge spoke in Cruz, so well that it was barely inaudible from Naga's mouth, nor the deep, hoarse murmur of Sanior

At the mention of the Queen, she bowed her head slightly and bowed to Brando, not so much to Brando, but to show respect for her own Queen

Brando's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, as a player, how keen he was, and he also knew Naga's customs very carefully, it seemed that Queen Hanlu intended to associate with him on an equal footing, otherwise the other party would be more than that, but he didn't believe in any nonsense about the Holy Covenant, if the Sacred Covenant really worked, there would be no holy war between the four temples

What a powerful means, under the high-sounding excuse, it is obviously a naked political investment, but what does the queen like about him, he is just a little Tonigel's lord on the surface

Bridget was silent after saying this, and Sanior, who obviously wouldn't give him a chance to satisfy his curiosity, probably wouldn't know that he wasn't a big man in Grayfinnagar

However, Brando has never been a person who seeks the bottom of things, it is good to have reinforcements, he just accepts it with peace of mind, anyway, he owes the queen a favor, I am afraid that this is the purpose of the other party, and with his ability, he is not worried that he will not be able to pay it back

The arrival of Greyfin Naga caused quite a stir among the others, and after hearing that they were allies, the commotion quickly spread among the young people, and Overwell couldn't help but tease that Brando was a robber lord, and his men were all bandits and pirates, which was of course a joke, because Sir Wolf had only one look in his eyes with appreciation

will only raise their own private soldiers and make friends with all parties, the difference is not to be Dao Li Ji Eruin, most nobles and even Grudin's kind of waste wood will raise private soldiers, this is the natural instinct of the nobles, as if they don't need to learn to learn, and can make friends with all parties, in addition to their own strength, it also needs a certain personal charm

The problem is that Brando has met too many forces, druids, Naga, these are forces that ordinary people usually can't contact at all, in front of these people, human identity is useless, in the eyes of the druids, there is no difference between nobles and commoners, and in Naga's eyes, nobles are about equal to fat sheep

And Brando was able to gain their approval, which can only be described as a freak

The others were fine, but the princess was a little complicated when she saw him, and Brando could even clearly feel that there was both recognition and a hint of vigilance in the half-elf girl's eyes, and he knew where this vigilance came from

With the addition of Greyfin, the army gathered around Her Royal Highness the Princess has finally expanded to six thousand men, barely having the strength of a Guards Regiment, and everyone seems to see a little hope, especially the private soldiers of Count Outin, who no longer look like they are in a hurry - originally Brando was really afraid that these guys would collapse at the touch of a button and become deserters

Brando asked Sanir again how they had caught up, only to understand that Sanir and his Grey Fins Naga Praetorian Guards had caught up with him along the sea route along Ampesel Bay, and according to Sanior's description, after they had routed the port guards, they found that Brandor had evacuated Ampesel, and at that time the Blackblade Army had already completed the assembly south of Ampesel, Sanir immediately decided and ordered all Naga to evacuate along the city's waterways, enter the bay off Ampesel, and then land at Dungang Bay, only to intercept Brando's party

The topography of Ampesel is very special, the north and south land meet here to form a crescent-shaped bay, the center is the Ampesel Strait, the north side of the terrain is flat, and the south side of the cliffs are lined with cliffs, you can see this unique landscape by boat, the south line of Ampesel port is almost all knife-like sea cliffs, the reefs below are dense, and the sails are difficult to approach

And to the south there are two landing sites, of which Dungang Bay is actually a shallow, and only Naga can land from there, needless to say that there is a reef turbulence outside, Brando knows very well, so he also dispelled the idea of going to sea from there, and further south is St. Bau Bay, far from the port of Ampesel, which is also the only anchorage in this area

Brando estimated the time and it seemed unlikely that he would be able to get to St. White Bay before he was overtaken by the Blackblades, but the addition of Graytip Naga gave him another plan

Brando immediately rolled up the parchment map, and the surrounding non-commissioned officers of the Royal Knight Academy knew that their 'commander' was going to make a plan, so they gathered around Olverwell and Earl Outin to stand beside Brando

"I've figured it out," Sir Wolf asked

"Yes," Brando nodded, "There's a concept, but it still needs to be verified."

"What tricks does Lord Fei have to find a way to get rid of those nasty guys in the sky?" Enrok asked with a grin

"Brando, can you delay until the evening and get rid of the flying dragoons in the sky while the night is dark," Freya also asked

"No way," replied Count Outin, who had served in the Blackblade Legion and the Southern Legion, and was the most familiar of all the generals of the Wyvern-dragoons: "The Wyvern-dragoon's mounts, whose scientific name is Eruina Dragon, live mainly in the northern highlands, they are actually nocturnal creatures, and the trained Wyverns, and they have no problem tracking them at night."

"It's really annoying, it's still an all-weather force," Brando cursed in his heart, but he also knew it; Speaking of which, he also served as a flying dragoon in the game, and he also knows a lot about creatures like Eruin Wurm, so he didn't keep this delusion from the beginning, "Okay, unless there are knives in the sky, don't want to get rid of each other, after all, people use flying, and we use walking."

He said it playfully, and everyone couldn't help but laugh

"Heaven and earth, we're dead, Brando" Only Freya glared at him angrily

"So we have to face the Black Blade Legion, and at this point we will be caught up tomorrow afternoon at the earliest," Loka, the leader of the Three Heroes, reacted very quickly, and he said calmly: "No, it doesn't even take that time to be earlier, and the light cavalry of the Black Blade Legion will bite up."

"The hussars aren't good at fighting in the mountains, so maybe we can bite them back," replied Bresson, with a deep groan

"Then we'll lose time," Nimesis said quietly, glancing at Brando, who had been the commander of the army all along, but whose calm face now seemed to show no displeasure with Brando

Brando also found that there was a quality in this female knight that he admired very much, that is, the obedience of a soldier, she was calm, composed, and absolutely obedient to orders, which even he could not do, which was a truly good soldier

But the other party turned out to be a woman and looked exactly like the senior sister, which made him a little unacceptable

Overwell didn't speak, he seemed to be waiting for these young people to speak, and Brando had the same thoughts, taking this opportunity to see the true strength of the three heroes of Eruin

After thinking about it for a moment, Loka replied: "Sooner or later, the advantage of time will be lost, at least until then, we can decide where and how to fight the Blackblade Legion"

Exactly

Turning the time into a place Brando's heart secretly praised, this head of the three heroes of Eruin is worthy of the great reputation of the past, and the idea coincides with him, but he has premeditated, but the other party is a momentary judgment, and the gap is big

Fortunately, he never considered himself a genius commander, and he was only here because he had knowledge far beyond everyone else in this history

"What is the goal of the war?"

"Obviously, stay on your side," Enrok replied

"So where are we going to choose the battlefield?" Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the spread map, and so did Brando, who had actually left Port Ampesel, headed east into the Magchenco Mountains, and was now some way south of Gentine's foothill estate

Jeantin's foothill manor is a famous landmark near Ampesel, said to be a manor, but in fact a mountain inn, built into a fortress This manor is located in the mountains and forests surrounded by mountains about a dozen miles east of the port of Ampesseur, on the mountain road leading from Ampessel to the province of Ampexel

For it was the only avenue in the vicinity, and they deviated from it, but in fact it was already in the mountains to the south-east of Ampesel, and there was another avenue to the south of Ampesel, which led to Vladá-Pace, and they were between them

This area is also known to Brando as a level 2530 adventure area, and to the south there is an Acropolis of Ampesel, and near that there is a sawmill, Ampersel's main daily charcoal supply, where Brando used to do a lot of tasks

There is also a small iron ore mine nearby, and because of the charcoal, a large number of manors operating blacksmith workshops sprang up around 1st.360 in the year of the harvest, centered on the Acropolis, and into the mountains to the east, and to the west is a gentle coastal area with dense population

Brando's gaze drew a premeditated line in the area

Young people are arguing

Caglis thought that they should take advantage of their small but elite army to stop the Blackblade Army in the Fama Valley1, a valley that penetrated deep into the northern branch of Anlek, and the terrain was dangerous, making it one of the best terrains to use as an ambush

But Enrok thought that they should already enter the Fama Mountains, and enter the northern main branch of the Anlek Mountains along the Fama Mountains, and also rely on the advantage of few elites to fight and retreat, and go around in circles with the northern coalition forces in the deep mountains, which is a whimsical idea, Brando was stunned when he heard it, and thought to himself, this is not the prototype of guerrilla warfare, this can be an alternative

However, he was just stunned, and the dispute over there had become white-hot Enrok ridiculed Calglis's rigid thinking and military dogmatism, and Calglis did not show weakness, and ridiculed each other that the other party was a bandit and a bandit, and he had the thoughts of a mountain king

The two sides argued and came to a conclusion, with Breson supporting Calglis's opinion, and Muco believing that Enroque was speaking well, and only Freya, Loca, and Nimesis had their eyes on Brando

Brando smiled and pointed on the map: "We're going to have a big banquet for the Blackblades here."

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, but the place that Brando was pointing was not far from here, and he drew a line that eventually led to a place called Mar Heights

What is this place?

Everyone saw that the place drawn on the map was obviously not the most suitable place to block the attack, the Mar Heights is a plateau terrain, although it is also the intersection of three mountains, but the open surface is a flat alluvial plain, which is very conducive to the army to fight here, I'm afraid there is a bit of a problem, if it weren't for Brando to lead them out of a bloody way, everyone present, including Calglis, would have wondered if he was a traitor of the Northern Alliance......

"Mr. Brando......?"

"Trust me, this is the best option," Brando smiled, "I'm not going to joke with my life, right?" ”

"Why?" Freya couldn't help but ask

The reason is very simple, Brando laughed evilly in his heart, this place called Mar Heights was a nightmare in the minds of countless players back then, there was a copy of Mal Heights called 'Afgar Temple Ruins', Afega is a famous demon god in Vaugard, and it is said that the body is a demon - of course, in fact, this temple actually has little to do with him, but it is occupied by a group of wind elemental creatures from the Mountain of Storm Stop, and the temple is buried deep underground, and it should not have been excavated before this era

The Sanctuary was announced in a later version, and there was a small open-door quest, and Brando could have imagined how much trouble the Blackblade Legion would have had if he had gotten this thing out, but the player had been beaten to the point that it wasn't until almost five years later that no one had settled the quest

Not to mention that the front of the Mar Heights is still a colony of monster bareback boars, if you don't know the correct route of the march, these 20-level social creatures are enough for them to drink a pot

Brando felt like he was going to laugh out loud when he thought about it, not to mention that he chose the battlefield on the plain, not only to let the other party relax his vigilance, but also to have deep considerations, but there are some things that can't be said yet, the non-commissioned officers and students of the Royal Knight Academy are certainly credible, but it is difficult to say the noble private soldiers under Count Outin

He waved his hand to signal the others to stop the discussion, Brando's prestige had been initially established, and although the young people were still more or less confused, they still chose to believe the commander who had led them all the way

"This place is actually an inverted triangle, if you hold on to two of the hills, it's not that you can't defend it, I think the lord may have other considerations, but isn't this place too close to Ampesel's acropolis?" Loka also frowned and asked

"No, on the contrary, we're going to fight our way down this line," Brando said, pointing to the manor district

"Ah, what? No? Enrok almost didn't jump: "My lord, it doesn't seem like there's any need to put it, if you want to show your military might and shock those northerners...... Okay, I'll admit we're pretty good."

"No, it's necessary," Brando smiled at him, and then he turned back and said to Sanil, "Saniel, you and your men sense your sea demon whales?" ”

Sanir was slightly stunned, then nodded

"Then please take them there at once, and make sure that Miss Antitina appears before me by tonight."

"No problem"

Brando rolled up the parchment and said to the others, "You also go and prepare, come up with a battle plan and don't forget, you have to beat the vanguard cavalry of the Black Blade Legion and let them know that we are here"

Everyone looked at each other, but they had to stand up and salute
