Act 324: The Battle of the Holy White VIII

Beyond the south gate of Port Ampesel, a gentle slope stretches along the foothills of Mount Magchenco (1), where the black mixed forest undulates into Brando's view. The young people of the Royal Knight Academy couldn't help but cheer in unison, and although the crisis was far from over, the closer to freedom still lifted everyone's hearts.

"It's finally out." Brando also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, hiding in the mountains and forests was much easier than street fighting. Especially in Port Eruinampesel, which is one of the most heavily infiltrated areas of the Flame Temple, there is always a sense of oppression when fighting on someone else's home turf.

The addition of Earl Outin gave him a big surprise, and after asking, he realized that the other party had already seen Overwell and made a plan. At that time, if the princess and her party chose to go north, he would lead his troops to meet them from the port north of Vladá-Pest; But if they choose to go south as they do now, the soldiers and horses that lurked here earlier will become a clever dark move.

Outin also brought with him a master druid named Voczyk, whom Brando recognized, a master herbalist who lived in seclusion in the Mt. Marchenko near Ampesel and specialized in teaching players the recipes of master herbology. However, Brando was not interested in herbalism, he was interested in the information itself, the Grand Druid was not a friend of Odin but through the letters of Master Anderson of the Ring of the Trade Winds, and the Druid was neutral in "The Amber Sword" and rarely interfered in foreign affairs, just as the Great Elder only promised to participate in the defense of Valhalla that day.

Now, Anderson took the initiative to write a letter to intervene in the civil unrest in Eruin. I don't know if it's his personal meaning or the meaning of the Great Elder. But the latter is likely. This shows that the Ring of the World may have known about his existence and approved of his actions at a certain time.

This is great good news, and Brando is different from the average person who thinks that the druids are scattered in the forests on the border, sending messages to each other through the trade winds, and that they are both marginal and powerful - as long as you don't mess with them. But Brando is well aware of the existence of the Ring of the World and the Council of the Druids, and with their approval, many things will be much easier in the future.

But the future is the future, after all, and there are still huge difficulties to be solved. After a few words of greeting, Brando didn't dare to waste any more time. Immediately ordered the young men of the Royal Knight Academy to be dispersed into the Vlada Forest. He raised his head, and the flying dragoons of the Southern Legion were forming a retreat in formation to leave the skies of Ampesel, while the Blackblade Legion was gradually gaining the initiative, and the circling Wyvernel dragoons had apparently discovered their presence. Some of them swooped in this direction after leaving the battlefield.

The pressure from the overhead attack was so great that Count Outin's privates immediately panicked, and the archers raised their longbows, but Brando doubted that the fellows had ever judged the distance. The best lesson in Amber Sword against flying units is to wait until the opponent enters the dive attack phase before attacking, otherwise it will only be a waste of effort.

"Let them stop attacking!" Brando immediately shouted to Count Oudin, "Take them into the forest." ”

Count Outin also knew that his soldiers were inexperienced, and he was afraid that they would be completely broken up by the Wyvern Cavalry. He nodded, and immediately drove his private soldiers closer to the Vlada Forest.

Carlo led the team in front with Breson and Muko, and noticing the situation behind, the leader of the Eruin Trio tightened the reins of his horse and stopped and turned around and shouted: "Mr. Brando, the Royal Knight Academy also has archery training!" Let Count Outin give us the bow and arrows. We can stay and cover the retreat! ”

"No need, protect Her Royal Highness." Brando replied, looking up at the flies on his head. He was not soft, and directly controlled the wind spirit spider hiding in mid-air to aim in that direction - before he activated the holy sword on the battlefield in Ampesel Harbor to 'kill' the knights under Baron Rodu, he only used the charge of twenty or thirty holy swords, and most of the holy sword skills in that round were not released, which came in handy at this moment.

Everyone saw Brando standing alone with his hands in his hands, and a brilliant web of death suddenly intertwined in mid-air, and two or three Wyvern knights were caught off guard and directly hit it, turning into a piece of burning ashes in midair. The remaining dragoons were obviously frightened and hurried up. But even so, two of their wings and tails were shaved off by the golden-red beams of light, like steel rain, and they fell from mid-air.

Brando ordered the Wind Spirit Spider to further raise the Shooting Boundary, and then activated another twenty or thirty holy swords, this time the attack was more accurate after the correction of the previous prediction, almost like a golden-red long sword stabbed straight into the formation of the Wyvern Dracons, and the six or seven Wyvern Dragoons were directly turned into a bundle of flying ash before they could even react.

At this time, the flying dragoons of the Black Blade Legion were really devastated. Saying that he didn't dare to get any closer, a dozen wyverns swept a circle in mid-air and turned around and ran. But Brando wasn't going to let them go. He also ordered the Wind Spirit Spider to chase after him, and chased until only three or four people on the other side escaped from their attack radius.

Jumping beam clown, Brando couldn't help but shake his head. To be honest, even if he doesn't have the 'Holy Sword', he won't be afraid of these flies, Eruin's Wyvern Dragoons have always been regarded as light air cavalry in Vaynd's air force units, and light air forces are generally used as reconnaissance units, and even if they are reconnaissance Wyverns, there are many restrictions, their ability to fight on the ground is also extremely worrisome, and they lack the ability to fly in the canopy, to be honest, they can be regarded as one of the most rubbish air forces in Vaynd's world, second only to the goblins' 'bad demons'.

I don't know where the other party got the courage to attack, I really thought that there were some noble private soldiers below, and I didn't want to think about who had just defeated the White Lion Army.

He turned around, and there was silence among the private soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and students who were entering the Vlada Forest, and the scene just now was too exciting. The young and brave wizard challenges the army of the 'Demon King' alone, a scene only in the bedside story, and the Eruin soldiers, who are naturally withdrawn and unheard, can't help but burst into cheers.

"Mr. Brando, isn't he a descendant of Lord Darus? How could he still do magic? Princess Griffiin couldn't help but ask, confused.

"I've seen him work magic." Sir Wolf shrugged: "And he seems to know alchemy." It's a lot of talent, but we also lack the experience of the first twenty years of his life, where the Sword Master of Daurus is incognito and lives like a commoner. It is impossible for the royal family to investigate a commoner, and it cannot be investigated. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at the young wizard on the side, and Charles hurriedly shook his head: "Ah, don't look at me, in fact, I met the lord relatively late." At least later than Miss Freya, but the lord said he had studied with a wizard, so it wasn't surprising......"

Everyone couldn't help but look like this. But they didn't notice it. Nimesis frowned slightly, and the female knight glanced at Charles, but she didn't seem to be convinced.

Although the Wyvern's attack was repulsed, it also confirmed Brando's previous concerns. He scattered his men into the forest. In fact, there was such a consideration from the beginning, the low-altitude ability of the Wyvern-dragoon is very poor, and it is difficult to find the units scattered in the forest with the naked eye, although it will not completely throw off the other party, but at least it is much better than gathering together and being harassed by the other party so that it is impossible to move.

Sure enough, as soon as the young men of the Royal Knight Academy and the private soldiers under Count Outin dispersed into the forest, the flying dragoons hovering far away in the sky lost their target, and they wanted to get closer to some reconnaissance, but they were immediately returned by Brando with the holy sword, so they had to follow from a distance, so as not to lose the target of the princess and his party.

That's three or four hours. Brando finally repelled a low-altitude plunder of the Wyvern-Troopers stood next to a black pine and watched through the cascading canopy for a moment to make sure it was out of range before turning back. Almost all eyes fell on him—the princess was fine, sitting silently on a piece of bluestone with her knees folded, a little distracted—while the other young men had a look of reverence in their eyes, and after the previous battles with the Wyverns, he had fully established his prestige, even in the eyes of the noble private soldiers.

However, Brando knew that he could be recognized by these arrogant young people of the Royal Knight Academy, and I am afraid that the reason was more because of his identity as a descendant of the Sword Saint Daruth. But to be honest, he doesn't really want this identity, not that he is a M and has to be a civilian. Rather, it was because he already knew that the Sword Saint Darus might have been judged by the Temple for some reason.

The trial of the temple, Brando, also knew that ordinary people would shed their skin even if they entered the temple without dying, but his grandfather was safe in the end, probably because of some conditions reached with the temple. The temple may have done this to cover up the secrets, but it didn't matter to Brando, of course. The important thing is that he, the descendant of the Sword Saint Darus, has now swaggered to the front of the stage, and once the Templars know the truth, they are likely to come to him for trouble.

He couldn't help but have a little headache at the thought of this. I finally have a prominent identity, so I don't have to spread rumors and deceive me, but I haven't enjoyed the benefits yet, and I have to deal with a lot of troubles first. Not only this, but the inheritance of the Dark Dragon is also, and even more outrageous, not everyone in this world has a thousand-year-old vision like Otales, and it is more likely that he will become a street rat and everyone shouts and beats.

But now is not the time to worry about these things. Brando raised his head, shook his head and sighed: "The other party is very shrewd." ”

"What," Enrok, one of the best of the three future heroes of Eruin, replied with a smile, "I see that it is effortless for the Lord to settle them, and the dragon knight brigade of the dignified Black Blade Legion has nothing to do with us, and when we enter the southern realm, the sky will be high and the birds will fly—"

Brando looked at this guy like an idiot, and wondered if this guy was really one of the three masters, and if he was mistaken. Could it be that he is really jealous of talents, so stupid people live longer?

Before he could finish thinking about it, Enrok was slapped on the head by Loka, and the head of the three heroes replied quietly: "So let you not get distracted in class, the lord said that the Flying Dragon Knight has other plans." Don't forget that the Blackblades are still chasing us. ”

"Oh, I see!" Enrok immediately reacted: "These guys are trying to drag us down, they are really cunning, and they don't hesitate to send elites to death." ”

"It's not the elite, and it can't hold us back." Muco snorted confidently, not enough for him to turn his head away with a blush as soon as he touched Brando's smiling gaze.

This detail naturally couldn't escape Enroke's observation, and this guy immediately laughed: "Mr. Squire, I admire it so much." ”

The head of the Royal Knights of the Future Kingdom, the white-haired Mr. Muco, who made a bet with Brando and then lost himself to become an acolyte, was suddenly speechless.

Brando looked at Enroke, a guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and couldn't help but shake his head, this guy can't be the long-lost brother of Calglis.

"So what should we do," among the several people, only Freya was the most serious, she looked at the map spread out on the ground, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Brando, do you have a way?" ”

There is a way, yes.

Escaping will definitely not be able to keep fleeing, the key is to choose a suitable battlefield. The Black Blade Legion, as the former Praetorian Guard, had an establishment of nearly 50,000 men in Brando's time, even after being weakened. And in this era, the Black Blade Legion will only be stronger than a local legion like the Southern Legion, the regular establishment of the Southern Legion is 70,000 people, then the Black Blade Legion may have 100,000 people.

Therefore, it should not be too much of a problem to mobilize tens of thousands of people to appear on the battlefield of Ampesel at a time, plus the remnants of the White Lion Legion and the miscellaneous local troops, the military force on the opposite side is really incredible.

And with the full calculation in his hands, plus the remnants of Ou Ting's troops and the Wyvering Dragoons of the Southern Legion of Danos, there will be no more than 4,000 people at most, and the disparity in strength between the enemy and us is really a bit outrageous. Therefore, he had to choose a special battlefield that was good for defense and not for the enemy to deploy.

Luckily, this is the Magchenko Mountains, and you will be in front of the territory of Mount Fama (2), both of which are northern branches of the Anlek Mountains, which are about level 2530 in the game. Brando was familiar with the area, and soon a place name came to mind.

He was about to speak, but it was then that he felt something warm in his pocket. Brando hurriedly pulled out the thing, and it turned out to be a black pearl.

Brando's brow furrowed suddenly, and a guest arrived. What an unexpected surprise.

……

Explanation of terms:

(1) In the literature on Eruin, the mountains of Anlek are in fact the names of a geographical category that includes the many branches of the Anlek Mountains. Located at the northernmost point of the northern branch of the Anlek Mountains, Mount Machenko is the collective name for the peaks that surround the area south of the port of Ampesel.

(2) Mount Fama, east and south of Mount Marchenco, Ampesel enters the landmark of Anlek. (To be continued......)
