Act 102 Leads the Snake Out of the Hole (The First Shift Begins, Are You Ready)

To achieve 100% mission completion, it looks like you'll need to uproot all enemies that stand in your way. The task was far more difficult than Brando had imagined, and he had thought that he would only need to save the Greywolf Mercenary Regiment, but now it seemed a bit naïve.

Amber Sword's quest system is really not easy to fool, even if you come to this world, you still show your true colors. Having said that, Brando still greeted the members of the Torrentialrain task force a hundred times in his heart.

He counted with his fingers the enemies he was going to face. Including the more than 100 lizardmen bandits mentioned in the information provided by Chabli to the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, but the mission strategy states that the actual number is more than 1,000, or even more.

Then there are the Black Fire Cultists, the number will not be less than two hundred, and the average strength is above the black iron, which is a ** annoyance.

Finally, there are more than seventy dark mercenaries under Conrad, whose strength is not much different from that of the Black Fire cultists; This is also the only report on the strategy with the most accurate number of people, ha, this is really good news-

Then the commander of the lizardmen, Heyukil, himself has the strength of the silver peak, and there is no doubt that Conrad Gold is at the level, as for the earth god who accompanied the Black Fire cultists, Brando didn't even want to mention it, and he had a headache when he mentioned it.

However, Brando didn't know that there was a low-level dark priest among the other party, otherwise he would really scold his mother.

He thought for a moment, then looked back to see that the silver elves had already dealt with the white-haired megalomaniac. The Grey Wolf mercenaries are treating their wounds with the help of their fellow mercenary Rubis mercenaries, and the two groups get along very well because of their similar origins.

"What are you going to do?" A voice sounded beside him.

Brando was stunned for a moment when he saw the silver elf commander with the golden helmet.

"If that human hadn't lied, the Black Flame cultists and lizardfolk were converging, and they should be about as fast as we are. By the time we arrive, we'll probably have more than just a rabble of lizardmen. ”

The Silver Elf Commander seemed to be stating something that had nothing to do with him.

"Pretty much correct," Brando replied without thinking, "but I guess Conrad has already seen the lizardman commander Hyukir by this time, because he's trying to prevent us from sneaking out of the north before we do." ”

The Silver Elf Commander looked at him without saying a word. Although he and his men were still very strong at this time, as if they were able to push the lizardmen, Brando knew that this was far from the case.

He hadn't heard that the task of SSS completion could be done by a flat push.

"They should have sent out the spies."

"He thought we'd run away?" Brando laughed, "But it's just right, I'm going to make them make mistakes." ”

Brando was not mistaken, and in the evening of that day, the lizardmen dragoons scattered from their lair in Balogan.

……

The next morning-

There was a rattle from the dry bushes on the hillside, and a human hand, and another slender elven hand, parted them to the left and right. Behind the bushes, Brando and the Silver Elf Commander watched the movement in the valley with a calm face, and the young man looked at it for a long time and said:

"Dragoons."

"This is the third team since yesterday—" The elven commander's silver pupils reflected the verdant valley below, and his eyes did not change in the slightest. The speed and agility of the dragon in the jungle surpassed that of any cavalry mount of its time, but it was still far inferior to the Minr Shadow Knight, and the dragon leaped through the forest, its swift figure occasionally skimming through the gaps between the canopies, but it was still a little slow in the eyes of the Silver Elf warrior master.

"From this distance, it's already twice as long as the usual patrol range of a bandit lair. Even if the other party is under the influence of the shepherd, this is not normal......" Brando muttered to himself, "It seems that it has really entered the plot mode." ”

"What?" The Silver Elf Commander looked back.

"No," the young man quickly changed his words, realizing his mistake, "just estimating the distance." ”

"It's a big deal." The Silver Elf Commander glanced at him, it wasn't the first time they'd done something like this since last night.

Brando nodded hurriedly: "It's really nothing to see, let's go according to the original plan." He turned around and shouted, "Sanfud." ”

The young man, who was a former gray wolf mercenary, but was now his subordinate, panted and ran up from below, raised his head to look at the two people above and asked, "Lord Lord, what's the matter?" ”

Although he was only a newcomer, Brando had already instructed Antitina to explain his 'true identity' to them. Of course, adventurers, travelers, and even merchants are not a trivial matter of using a false identity when they walk outside, but these mercenaries are glad that Brando trusts them so much - not to mention that the identity of a future lord is obviously more attractive to these mercenaries than that of a merchant.

Rather than a life of wandering and no fixed residence, mercenaries are also more willing to become the entourage of a nobleman, or at least settle down. Especially from the description of the group of Lubis mercenaries, it is clear that this young lord is not like the stubbornness and indifference of most nobles, and disregard for the lives of his subordinates, although they have just learned a lesson from the 'maned wolf' Macaro - but what can they do about being born in this chaotic world.

They had to work harder to get the attention of the adult.

"Pass the order and get ready to go." Brando replied as he looked down the valley.

"No problem, I'll go." But halfway through, the young man turned around and asked a little puzzled, "Lord Lord, there is actually one thing I don't understand......

"Huh?"

Sanfde hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask, "I don't think that with your current strength, there is no need to go through such a big effort. As long as we fight all the way through, I'm sure the lizardmen won't be able to resist it, even if they collude with the Cultists, as you said. As far as I know, even Eruin ......"

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, "Even the royal family of Eruin probably can't make up more than twenty Templars—" Yes, although the total number of Templars in Eruin may be much more than twenty; However, it is important to understand that not every one of these Templars served the nobility, and even those who remained loyal to one faction were not all loyal to one or the other.

However, the subtext of this sentence sounded more like questioning Brando's identity, so Sanfford relented.

But Brando understood what he meant, and he replied with a slight smile, "Maybe you will be a little disappointed to say it, because these elven allies are not my subordinates." They fight alongside us only because they share a common goal with us, and the other thing is that they can't go too far from the area, otherwise their strength will gradually weaken. ”

The young man was stunned, not understanding what Brando meant by weakening his strength. But he immediately replied in a loud voice, "No, my lord. You misunderstood, and we will not be disappointed - you forgot that it was not because you were powerful when we swore to follow you yesterday. It's to repay you for your kindness, so no matter when, whether as a gray wolf mercenary or a former gray wolf mercenary, we will not break our promise. ”

However, he immediately asked, "It's just that these elven allies are Templars, right?" Even if the strength is declining, is there such a strong effect......? ”

When Brando saw Sanfde's expression, he knew that something was wrong with the guy's understanding. This is not to blame him, it is true that according to the understanding of ordinary people, the strength of the Templars is reduced by as much as half and can still be maintained at the peak of the Golden Order.

Twenty Golden Order pinnacles are indeed enough to sweep this area.

It's a pity that it backfired, and there is another thing in this world called the hierarchy system. Reducing the strength by half is just a drop of one level, and deducting half of the level will have a big impact. And it's unfortunate that this damn altar system really deducts strength in this way - the peak state of the Elven Praetorian Guard is just an ordinary unit of level sixty, and if you deduct half of it, it will become an ordinary unit of level thirty, not to mention the peak of the gold level, even the upper level of silver strength is difficult to maintain.

More than twenty silver upper-level units are no problem pushing lizardmen, but the problem is that with the addition of the Earth Divine Envoy and Conrad, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, he had to look for ways to break the force with ingenuity.

However, it was a bit difficult to explain, so he simply waved his hand and replied, "Don't worry, go ahead, pass on the order." Trust me, I'll bring you victory-"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

The Silver Elf Commander watched Sanfud's figure disappear into the woods, then glanced back at Brando with silver-gray eyes, and replied, "I can't see it, human, you're still arrogant. ”

"It's self-confidence." Brando raised his head and corrected seriously, "Remember, this is not the battlefield of the Battle of the Sages, nor is it the star-studded era you live in, and the many genius commanders have overshadowed the usual tactics of a qiē. Of course, maybe in the near future, this continent will usher in that era again, but not now. ”

He raised his head, looked at the northern forest, and replied word by word: "Now, here, I believe that no one has the power to take victory away from me. I speak to you these words as a senior regimental commander, Commander, and you can record it. ”

The Silver Elf looked at him, then lowered his head and removed the helmet from the golden spired wings. When he raised his head again, he revealed a handsome and indifferent face: "To be honest, I didn't understand. He replied.

"You say, 'Maybe in the near future, maybe this continent will usher in that era again.'" The silver elf turned his face sideways, the cold outline of the side face so beautiful that women would be jealous, and he asked, "You mean, the dark dragon will return to this continent again?" ”

"No, that's another thing."

"Are you so sure, human? Can you see through the future? "Another cold question.

Brando choked, thinking to himself how this guy could catch the loophole so well, the game development team simply hired you to catch bugs. However, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not a foresight, but a premonition." If you don't believe me, when that time comes, I'll come back to this place and tell you what's going on in the outside world, how-" He didn't know why he said this, but perhaps some secret had been holding in his heart for too long.

This guy is just a ghost who can't get out of here, he thought.

The silver elf was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently: "That Menes." ”

"Brando."

"Brando, then I'll wait to see what you call victory."

This bastard, he still doesn't believe it at all.

"Listen to me." Brando replied through gritted teeth.
