Don't go to Qingcun?

That couldn't be, Brando knew something that would have a big impact on his plans for the future. So whether it was to stock up on food or to test the idea, he had to make a trip to the village that might have been taken over by Madara.

So he thought for a moment, and then asked, "I'm not going, do you know how to start?" Infiltration and search are not taken for granted, they require careful planning and prior investigation. ”

Infiltrating and searching used to be the strong point of those who put a lot of training into the shadows, such as classes like Nightingale and Hunter. As a warrior, Brando didn't know much about them, but after all, he had formed teams and missions with these people, and he could be much stronger than these militiamen with this memory alone.

Freya shook her head. It's not that she doesn't understand, but Brando's injuries are too serious: "You can tell us what we should do, and please leave the rest to us-"

Brando was not surprised by Freya's refusal. He knew that this was the time to choose the persuasion method that he was good at. Take, for example, the wisdom of a veteran warrior: "Roman. ”

"In!"

"Give me your sword." He stretched out his hand to the side.

"No, Brando." Roman held the sword in both hands and handed it to him with confidence.

"Thank you."

Brando took the sword and took a breath as he could get the best he could be. He was weakened below 40% of his health, and the carrion poison prevented him from wielding the other 20% of his power. In other words, the power he can wield is only 0.6 energy levels at most.

Approximately equal to a fourteen-year-old teenager.

"Time is running out, and in order to prove that I am capable of participating in this expedition, we might as well decide in an old and traditional way." He drew his sword: "The way warriors talk to each other." ”

Our protagonist looks around and notices that everyone has a look on their faces, as if they had misheard. Martha is on top, and Freya is the number one swordsman in Butch's militia, even if it is Essen, she is also a defeated subordinate.

Dude, do you really know how bad you are right now? They invariably asked such a question in their minds.

"Brando, don't be kidding." Freya said angrily. She was so confident in her swordsmanship that if Brando had beaten her in this state - did he think he was a veteran of the November War?

Brando didn't say a word, just used his sword to make a 'please' gesture.

The ponytail girl was so angry that she almost blackened in front of her. She thought that there should be a limit to not knowing whether to live or die, but it seemed that the truth was not as she thought. She gritted her silver teeth and made up her mind to teach Brando a lesson with reality.

Freya straightened up her sword, not thinking about it as a vertical slash. Her basic skills are excellent, and her sword is very steady, bringing up a thin blade wind.

Brando's sword counter-blocked, and the force of the sword almost dislocated his wrist. But he immediately flattened the blade of his sword, and slashed it against Freya's blade; The young man's strength was not great, but it startled Freya - because before she could get into range, the opponent's sword was almost reaching her gauntlet.

Although she was unwilling, the female captain of the ponytail had no choice but to return.

In fact, she is not wronged to suffer, Brando's move is very famous in the swordsmanship of warriors, it comes from Cruz's battle array swordsmanship, which is called Cato reverse cut in the game. This is a high-level fighting swordsmanship, although now Brando can only rely on the original swordsmanship foundation of this body to draw a gourd to perform it, but it is completely enough to deal with a half-tone swordsman like Freya.

Brando remembers that he had learned this trick from a mercenary at the cost of two barrels of Madara's bone wine.

Now it seems that these two barrels of bone wine are worth it.

Freya stepped back, and in response to Brando's oncoming attack, she gritted her teeth with her sword in both hands and pressed the opponent's sword to the side, reacting quickly, but not smart enough. Because Brando had already stepped back, and by the time she could react, the long sword in his hand was already pointed at her chest.

Freya gritted her teeth, slammed the hilt of her backhand to open the tip of Brando's sword, and then pursued with a sword. But for Brando, the sword was no longer in order, it was purely because he didn't admit defeat, and with a slight knock, the opponent fell to the ground because he lost his center of gravity.

Dusty.

"Looks like I've convinced you." Brando withdrew his sword and replied faintly.

Freya looked up, her face incredulous.

It's not just her, but none of the nine members of the Buchi militia squad present who didn't show a dull gaze except for Roman, who still took it for granted. Is that still the swordsmanship of the militia? It's not bad compared to the veterans in the regular army, right?

"How so?"

"It's not surprising that I'm the number one swordsman in the thirty-three militia of Pragues." Brando replied casually, "And then you, little Phoenix, let us solve your problem." ”

Little Phoenix looked panicked, and quickly shook his head: "I, I'm still not going, you can go." ”

This kid. Brando couldn't help but shake his head.

……

After agreeing on a time and meeting place with the others, Brando, Freya, and Esen quickly hit the road, and the time was tight, forcing them to race against the clock.

Qingcun was about east of Che Lake, which was not too far away, especially as the three of them went all the way deeper, and through the dense canopy of trees, they could also witness several gray pillars of smoke in the eastward sky getting darker and darker—the sky was gradually darkening, which did not look like a good sign.

According to Brando's memories and the building, they approached the area that Madara might occupy from the north of the village, and his guess turned out to be correct, as the army of the undead had just swept through here, leaving only a scorched earth.

Looking at the village below with flames rising in the embers and smoke billowing out, even if Freya still had the last glimmer of hope, Madara's army did seem to be ahead of them, and it was a luxury that they would arrive at Fort Ridden in time. She couldn't help but glance at Brando, wondering what the young man thought.

But Brando, hiding in a bush, stared out of the woods, and the skeletal soldiers passed by, and carefully counted the trees in a grove of trees in front of him, and he counted the twelfth, and noted what the tree looked like—

Qingcun, the twelfth beech tree to the south in the low forest. He remembered very well that there was supposed to be a key buried underneath, and that it was a standalone quest in the game that allowed access to a burial chamber in the village.

He remembered who had unearthed the task, like a priest? It didn't matter though, as he knew it was a Templar tomb, and if a qiē was in line with the game's development, there should be some good stuff in it. But his target is the sword in the tomb, the Thorn of Light.

It was a sword infused with the power of light, and his current level was equivalent to a trumpet undead slayer, and of course, he only imagined the legendary artifact in the future.

After confirming this, Brando turned around, pointed to the outside of the woods and said to the two people beside him, "See? ”

"See what?" Essen and Freya were stunned.

"The number of skeletons patrolling, two, four, it looks like there are now two detachments of Madara in the village." Our protagonist replied with sophistication: "Twenty-two to twenty-four skeleton soldiers, two corpse witches." ”

"So much!" Essen was taken aback.

"Luckily, that's not the point. The point is that they control the cemetery and the square, and the corpse witches left behind will definitely use spiritism there, and they will be replenished by a steady stream of troops, which is what we must be careful about. Brando continued.

"This is blasphemy against the dead!" Freya clenched her fists angrily.

"Yes, but they have the right." He sighed, then pointed to the forest not far away and said, "See that pasture?" You can sneak in with the help of the fences and the shadows of the bushes. There should be a cellar under the barn of that ranch, which is not hard to find, and it should not have burned down - you can hide there and wait until it gets dark before we come out. ”

The girl nodded subconsciously, but suddenly realized that something was wrong: "How do you know?" ”

"I've been here for a while." Brando replied in passing that he wasn't lying, just not in this world.

"And then, what are we going to do?" Essen asked.

"Wait for me there, and I'll come to you in the evening. The monsters should be focused on arousing the skeletons, and will not come to your trouble for a while, and if they do attract attention, you should pay attention to your breathing and heartbeat - the undead can see your life force. Brando admonished little by little.

"Wait, aren't you with us?" Freya keenly grasped this detail.

"I have my own business."

"You—" She was about to speak, but saw the young man tap his sword, meaning- don't forget that you have been persuaded by me. But how can that be the same thing? Freya opened her mouth to retort, but Esen grabbed her and motioned for her to be careful of the skeleton soldiers patrolling Madara below.

"Do you believe me?" Brando asked in a whisper.

Freya shook her head, but hesitated, then nodded.

"That's it, for now, go ahead. Rest assured, I will come back safe and sound. He replied earnestly.

Freya glanced at him, and then stopped. Eventually, however, they were dragged away by Essen, and Brando watched as they passed through a patch of woods and ducked into the bushes below, then along a fence past the long meadow, and finally into the pasture.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Brando turned his head and looked at the grove below. A nervousness suddenly enveloped him, this would be the first time he had ventured alone in this world, perhaps it would look no different than before, but there was no defeat here, only death.

Speaking of which, he would rather act with Freya and the others, but how to explain the key? It can't be said that he came to bury it before, this kind of clumsy lie is estimated that even Essen can't deceive him, let alone Freya, who is as meticulous as a hair.

On the balance of things, he decided to act alone.

"It makes no difference, old man. It's just cut and retrained. He rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but cheer himself up in his heart.
