After a small number of refugees dragged their families out of the northern gateway of Riedenburg, the congested Ember River came to advance along the valley mouth plain north of the Yusong River, and under the moonlight, it looked more like a dense ant colony.

The hazy undulations ahead are the southernmost part of the deer hunting hills, a small hill called the Silver Sparrow, covered with beautiful Golan Elson cold shirts, these tall trees have tower-like shapes, the ends reach into the sky, and the forest is infested with more than ten levels of bears and maned wolves, and players often have to walk in groups in the game to deal with sudden dangers in the mountains.

Brando was convinced that their first step would be to enter Silverfinch Mountain in order to mitigate the threat from the side of the Taniguchi Plains. The army of Madara had been fully deployed, and for days they had been sucking nutrients from the earth, and the size had swelled like a sponge, and Brando was afraid that he would see an endless sea of skeletons on the plains.

Fortunately, the fantasy did not become a reality.

But in the fog under the night, a skeleton cavalry loomed on the high ground, and it was not the same. Good sign. The skeleton skeletal horses are supposed to come from the core territory of Madara, and in this era, making these skeleton riders was still a difficult magical art.

It is not as widespread as that of later generations, history is dipped in blood, and the art of killing on both sides is maturing rapidly. Brando stared at the agile shadows that appeared in the fog for a moment, glancing at them from afar. Then he vanished again, and after a while reappeared closer, fearing that the refugees who were following them would be dispersed, and asked Freya to flank the mercenaries to protect the civilians. Soon he himself followed.

Freya had won hearts and minds by stealing horses from the nobles, or at least she had proved to be willing to fight alongside the mercenaries, and she would not have been able to do it until Brando had taught her those things. What's more, this girl with a long ponytail was very good, and she rushed into the market with an arrow, and cleanly cut the cable of the suspension bridge with a sword to let the others pass.

From that moment on, she established her identity among these mercenaries, which made Leto, Mano and the others decide to gamble.

In comparison, the young man that the girl has always admired seems a little unknown in the eyes of everyone. The young man's carriage had been running alongside Freya's, and he sat on one side of the coachman, with one hand on his sword, "with a pensive look on his face, and on the other side there was a Charles in a robe, who was sleeping with his cheeks rested."

The carriage was missing a door, and from time to time a head popped up inside, looking curiously outside. Roman takes care of a few children in the carriage, but she doesn't feel hard at all, she just feels that her heart is pounding, and it is really exciting and exciting to escape under the pursuit of the undead on such a mysterious night, which is the adventure life she wants.

The mercenary Mano couldn't help but pout behind him, and Brando, who couldn't ride a horse, also marked a woman and child in his eyes. He elbowed his companion beside him. I thought that this kind of aristocratic young man was mostly a soldier on paper, so don't let Freya's simple girl be deceived by his sweet words.

He made a small gesture to his companion and told him to take two horses to try the voyage, and they had robbed more than fifty horses in total, half of them were heavy horses, and the other half were the best Anlek horses, and there was quite a lot left except for the dry rations, the wounded, and their own use.

His companion glanced at him and immediately understood. To be honest, a group of them now have this feeling in their hearts, not to mention that Brando also asked Freya to order them to protect these refugees, but they were dissatisfied in their hearts. What are you doing with a bunch of burdens? Now they all have horses, and they can leave danger behind them if they run wildly.

Actually, there were already people who had done this with Leto, but the bar owner sent them to see Freya. Mercenaries are trustworthy, and they can't do it in this line of work, and the idea of grabbing a horse is Freyati, and this girl took the lead in doing it, and there is an agreement between them, so it is impossible to just leave.

But there's a precondition to that agreement.

The skeleton cavalry appeared this time about thirty seconds shorter than the last, and then quietly disappeared into the fog again. The huge second moon lies in the mountains to the east, and the moon-white disc reflects the fang-like peaks of the moonlit peaks. The hazy mist on the eastern highlands and the dark walls of Fort Ridden stretching to one side form a mysterious picture on different levels.

Brando glanced at his pocket watch, the edges of which reflected a cold glow.

"Why don't you speak?" He turned his head to see Freya on her horse, keeping her head down and not saying a word, looking hesitant. He wanted to praise her this time, but Freya's impromptu search for these people and the horses he had stolen had helped him a lot, he had not expected to meet so many refugees, and so many people would be willing to follow him.

He looked back, the number of refugees behind him had increased dramatically from dozens at the beginning to two or three hundred, and people all had a herd mentality, and the more people there were, the more they gathered.

Freya was afraid that she would upset Brando by making her own assertions, but she was too embarrassed to say it. She was originally bent on surpassing Brando, but now she is bent on acting better in front of Brando, and this psychological change is imperceptible.

"Y-You don't blame me?" Hearing that Brando's tone was nothing unusual, the future Valkyrie raised her head with wide eyes. The moonlight was refracted in her light-colored eyes, which were unusually bright, and the look of surprise in her eyes was also unusually obvious.

"I blame you for what you did, you did a good job."

"But I'm late."

"The plans are flexible, as long as they don't exceed the bottom limit, and I'm a little late."

"That, me

The two of them suddenly relented, because the mercenary had already walked up from behind. He first bowed respectfully to the young man on his horse. It's like a commoner saluting a noble lord. Then he lifted the reins of the two horses in his hand and said, "My lord, get on your horse, for it may be more agile to fight in a moment." ”

Brando looked at the guy, knowing what the other man was going to do, and he jumped out of the carriage lightly. He took the reins from the other party, looked up and asked, "What is the point of riding a horse?" ”

The mercenary was stunned, and his eyes immediately showed a strong mockery, and he said in his heart that you won't, but you want to pretend to be confident, do you think that riding can be practiced overnight? In fact, there were very few nobles in Vaulnd who could not ride, especially in the eyes of the soldiers who went into battle, and it was a shame to not be able to ride.

However, in order to make the other party make a fool of himself in front of Freya, he also pointed out: "You got on the horse from one side first, did you see the stirrup?" The first time, the movement slowed down a bit. The mercenary deliberately spoke very carefully, because he didn't believe that anyone could learn to ride a horse by listening to a few words, so they riders might as well go and die head-on.

But before he could merge on his side, Brando's side had already received a hint on whether to consume some skill experience to learn riding. He put one foot on his heart, and his movements looked rusty. However, the next step is to grasp the halter and turn over the Bumamen Sutra is smooth, as if immersed in this way for many years.

Level 3 riding skills can be horse fighting, a total of Feng skill experience. In fact, Brando had wanted to learn riding for a long time, but he didn't know that Freya could do it, and now he couldn't help but miss it a little. "Probe. Skills to come.

He turned around and saw the mercenary looking at him with a look of shame and anger. ”

"Wait". The princess interrupted the description of the beating, "You say he was a novice before he got on his horse?" ”

"Exactly, Your Highness Princess. If the old minister is not mistaken. His movements when he stepped on the stirrups were very irregular, just like many beginners. Beater replied respectfully.

"But is it possible for a man to learn a skill in an instant?" The girl was a little incredulous, she claimed to be smart, but it took nearly half a month to learn riding. It's just that as soon as she learns, she is already as skilled as the best riders.

"Unless he deliberately deceives, that's what happened." Beat Verwell was actually a little incredulous, but he also didn't believe that the young man could fool his eyes.

"He did it on purpose, this man is really a master of playing with minds." The princess muttered to herself. Not necessarily. Beater replied in his heart, but did not bring it up, but continued. ”，

On the other side, Charles also jumped out of the carriage, glanced at the mercenary obliquely, took the reins from the other's hand, and also got on the horse lightly. He is a mage and a subordinate, and riding is one of the compulsory courses, not to mention exquisite, but also proficient.

Freya looked at the two of them, "I thought that Brando was good at everything, but she liked to deceive people too much." The last time I asked her to learn first aid, the girl's face was a little hot when I thought of it.

The mercenary looked at this master and servant, and his first reaction was that he had been tricked, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. At this time, Mano also noticed that his companion here was deflated, and hurriedly chased after him and came to the side of several people.

"Young man, when will we protect these people?" he was also single, and asked this as soon as he came up.

Brando turned his horse's head and rode alongside Freya in front of him. He looked at the refugees and replied, "From here through the Rocky Valley, we can take them to the other side, and we can basically keep them safe!" ”

"With so many people, we can't shake off the pursuit of the Madara army." Mano shook his head.

"You can't, I can

Mano was stunned in the back. "How do you do that? , he couldn't help but ask.

Brando: "Zheng." With a bang, he drew his elven sword and pointed in the direction of the high ground on his horse: "The skeleton cavalry are the spies in the army of Madara, and they come from the most core territories of Madara. Go and disperse them, it will be more than half an hour to walk from here to the speed of the refugees at the speed of the refugees, and I will make sure that the flanks of the inner team are not threatened by this time.

Ma Nuo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, it would become an excuse for the other party to order him. He couldn't help but look at Freya, the person who agreed between them was Freya, not Brando.

"Brando?" Freya was willing to trust the young man, but she felt that Brando's attitude was a little too aggressive.

Brando put his sword back in his sheath and replied, "So, you're just thinking about how you can get out of here safely. Instead of how you are willing to take these people out with me, it is useless to say more, you have a pact with Freya, right, come and listen to my persuasion, I can let you go with a horse.

Mano was stunned, and then realized that this "aristocratic young man, not simple, completely grasped the initiative of conversation in a few words." He used to be a mercenary leader, and he had dealt with nobles, but he had never encountered such a sharp one.

"We are mercenaries, and if you can afford to pay us, we will do something for you. But in normal times, of course, we have to think about ourselves first, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. The older mercenary replied as a matter of course.

"Yes, but I have to warn you that you think you can get out safely with horses. Madara has an air force, have you ever seen ghosts and bone vultures? They're in the sky, do you know how to hide from the eyes of these necromancers? Brando put his hand on the hilt of his sword, he didn't believe that these guys would know about the mercenaries who were messing around the border, and they didn't really deal with Mardara, and they didn't understand the horror of the other party. Kill a few skeleton zombies to know Madara? The necromancer might as well crash headlong into the wall and die.

Leto and his daughter Sue also rode up after him, and he frowned when he heard the young man's words: "So you have a way?" ”

"It's hard to say, no one is perfect. In the forest, though, my odds are much higher, so I'm prioritizing how to get rid of the skeleton cavalry, which is not fast enough for the refugees on the flank

Mano and Leto fell silent, instinctively feeling that the young man was right.

Suddenly Brando loosened the reins, and let the horse run out for a long circle and go far into the high ground. He looked back at the mercenaries here and took out a ruby from his arms: "If you want to have a chance to survive, it's best to come with me except for luck." My request is simple: you do my bidding, protect Freya, and lead the refugees safely to the other side of the canyon. You are mercenaries, and this is the reward I promised you. Complete my commission, there will be more in the future"

With a flick of his hand, the ruby fell to Leto's feet in an arc.

Freya pointed at herself inexplicably and asked loudly, "Me?" Brando, how is it? She looked at the refugees behind her, and wondered if these refugees were brought out by Brando, how did they become led by her?

It's not that she doesn't want to, it's just that there are so many people, can she do it? Freya couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, she was just a small militia captain at the beginning, but after a while, she would lead more than a dozen experienced mercenaries, which would become the leader of hundreds or even thousands in the end, which was a bit unbelievable.

Brando smiled, he had his own arrangement, and did not answer. Instead, he turned back and waved his hand at Mano and Leto, and said simply:

"Go, gather your men. I'm here to wait for you to come back to your life, at least you can choose how you want to die, whether you will be turned into an undead by crashing into the army of Madara, or you will take my money and fight your way out like a real mercenary. ”

He turned around, and the skeletal cavalry appeared in the moonlight again, this time about ten seconds earlier than the last.
