Act Twenty-Three: Mission?
Act Twenty-Three Mission?
The No. 9 Elixir doesn't produce as fast as the No. 7 Elixir, and its restoring effect only drags Brando back from the Grim Reaper's hands. Then he bandaged himself with the help of Charles and Freya, and with the help of his battlefield first aid skills, he forced himself to breathe a sigh of relief, although he couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while because of the blood loss, and his face was as pale as a ghost, but at least he could confirm that there was no danger from his body.
Brando staggered to his feet, almost on his knees several times because he was too weak, and Charles and Freya hurriedly supported him from side to side. But feeling the future Valkyrie's actions, Brando couldn't help but glance back at her in surprise - he thought that Freya would be too angry with him this time, and he wouldn't lose his anger for at least a day.
Freya turned her head away, her face flushing - although she was angry at first that Brando had deliberately lied to her, but in hindsight, it was at least easier for her to accept the result than to lose Brando.
Of course, she still had a gritted tooth in her heart, and repeatedly told herself that she must not be so light next time this hateful guy on the ground.
Of course, Brando's accident is an accident, but he hasn't forgotten what he wants to do. He put one hand on Charles' horse, then turned back to his servant and said:
"Charles, help me up—"
As soon as Brando's words fell, before Charles could express his position, Freya stopped him: "Wait, you, what do you want to do!" ”
"Sit on horseback, as you see."
"No, you can't!"
"What's wrong again?" Brando.
"If you're so seriously injured, don't move, don't care if others are worried." The pony-tailed girl lowered her head and blushed and whispered a grumble.
She couldn't help but think that it seemed like this every time, and the last time, did this guy know that his injuries would be fatal to ordinary people.
Brando saw Freya's appearance, and there was something else he didn't understand. couldn't help but soften in her heart, and said with a slight smile: "Freya, I really don't care, the potion I just took before was holy water, and you also saw how holy water saved Qiao Sen's life that night, right?" ”
Freya bit her lip, feeling a little loose in her heart but not daring to believe it. She saw that Brando was so unsteady on her feet, and she had to ride a horse—but she also knew that every time she spoke, she would suffer—so this time the pony-tailed girl simply didn't say anything, and just stubbornly bowed her head in front of Brando.
At this time, Brando was a little helpless, and he couldn't explain the difference between No. 9 Holy Water and No. 7 Holy Water for a while, not to mention that Freya might not be able to understand it.
But he didn't want to hurt Freya, after all, this future Valkyrie was at least thinking about him wholeheartedly at this moment, how could he speak seriously in the face of such a girl?
"Freya, let the lord go up and take it." But to his relief, Charles spoke on the side.
Freya was stunned, she thought that at least the young wizard was on her side, and that was the knight he followed. In Vaynd, the servants are glorified because of the knights, but Charles doesn't care about Brando's life or death at all.
"Charles, how can you ......" she didn't know what position to retort for a moment.
"Your Excellency is really not in any danger, just a little weak, but leave the duty of taking care of your lordship to me-" The young man replied, he couldn't help but glance at Brando, a little worried, but more with admiration and respect: "Your lordship does have his position on horseback, and his presence there means that he has not fallen, and he is still the banner that leads us forward-"
"It's an honor that belongs to him, and it's a symbol of the sword in his hand, and what he fights for."
Brando laughed, Charles had spoken of him a little too noblely, but it was as simple as that, he had to show up on horseback and give confidence to the mercenaries and refugees who were fighting behind him - tell them that victory was here.
Although he is not actually familiar with military affairs, he also knows that his army is just a temporary patchwork of miscellaneous cards, and it is okay to play with the wind, but once it encounters a setback, it will quickly collapse.
Therefore he must give these people confidence that he is the source of their victory, and as long as he is alive, the refugees, the mercenaries, and the remnants of the white-maned army will know that they still have hope of victory.
Freya glanced at Brando with a complicated expression, and when she saw the latter nodding, she reluctantly moved out of the way.
Brando then turned over and mounted his horse with Charles's support, but to be honest, the young man was too weak to doubt whether he could hold on to the reins—he could not help but think that he had only been an ordinary man a few days ago, and he did not even know what position he had to hold on to it—but to his own surprise, he had allowed himself to stand like a javelin on his horse with so much willpower.
It seemed to outsiders that the young general was just a different horse after another victory.
But only Charles, Freya, and Leto and Mano who approached could see the cold sweat on Brando's forehead, and his arms trembling slightly—but Brando didn't say a word, didn't even glance at the people around him, and he tried to maintain a stern and cold expression.
Seeing this, Leto and Mano couldn't help but glance at each other, then bowed deeply to Brando, and each stepped back to command the cavalry that was regrouping. They originally wanted to come over and help Brando, but seeing this scene, they also understood that Brando didn't need it and wouldn't let them help.
They may not know Brando's character yet, but at least at this moment they have understood that this is a man with pride in his bones, and this pride is not arrogant, but comes from the young man's own confidence in his own abilities.
This pride is like a flag-
Brando held back a cold sweat on his head as he rode towards Sir Alberton, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and at the same time casually threw away the gargoyle amulet that had been split in half - unlike being injured, the gargoyle amulet of the gargoyle would be completely useless once it died in battle, and of course it might be repaired, but it was even better to remake one again.
This was probably the most precious magic item he had lost in the battle in the past few days, and other than that, the protective gloves were scrapped - of course, this one might be able to be repaired a little, but it didn't turn out very well in the end. And the one who caused this loss was the 'White Knight' Alberton, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who was kneeling in front of him and everyone in the game had changed color.
Before this, Brando probably never imagined that he would defeat such a general as Madara, even in his dreams. But now the absurdity became reality, Alberton just knelt there quietly, and after a while, even if no one bothered to make up for it, it was estimated that it would burn out the last trace of soul fire on its own.
Brando knew about Alberton's life.
Born in the year of the walnut, into a noble family, he then naturally became a knight, joining the free-cavalry columns of the time and participating in battles against the northern Cruz. There he spent the most golden period of his life, and also grew from a small knight to a qualified commander.
He commanded several famous battles that earned him a great reputation in the kingdom, and then he lived his life before somehow reawakening himself into a dark undead.
Most of what Brando knows about it in the game is history, after all, Alberton was one of the top generals in Madara's time, and he didn't just kill it. Therefore, he doesn't know much about this character's questline.
However, judging from the table of today's battle, Brando is very suspicious that there may be a hidden mission line on this man, especially since he has said some details about the oath.
And Brando knows that most of the hidden missions in the game have huge rewards, such as the Ring of the Wind in his hand is just the beginning of a hidden quest line, which is just a 20Oz piece of equipment, which can be seen.
However, most of the hidden missions he was familiar with started from level forty, and level seventy or eighty was the most frequent, but there were very few that could be received at this level.
And Alberton in particular is not a small person.
Therefore, he was full of interest in the secrets of the other party for a while. He rode to Alberton's side, because the other party's past identity did not embarrass him too much, but asked:
"What do you have to say, Alberton?"
There was a brief moment of silence.
"Young man, what do you think...... Know me? Then the undead knight, who was kneeling on the ground, moved slightly, and asked in a hoarse, deep voice.
Brando shook his head: "I don't know you, but I can say the same. The Alberton I know is supposed to be the hero of Eruin, who has been buried in the ground, back in the arms of Master Martha. ”
"Therefore he is you, but you are not him."
Alberton snorted coldly, supporting his body with his sword and creaking up from the ground.
"You should have died, young man, but you didn't." He replied, "Therefore it seems that you have not won by chance, and you know the origin of this body, what do you want to know when you come to tell me this?" ”
Freya was startled to see Alberton get up from the ground - she knew how weak Brando was, but she was about to come over to protect Brando, but Charles pulled her back.
She was stunned, and Charles shook his head slowly at her behind her back.
Although the young wizard Hu never understood what his lord had to do with the undead knight, they must have known each other.
In this case, Brando's character will definitely not take risks lightly.
Brando was a little surprised by Alberton's answer, but he hesitated for a moment and decided to use the experience in the game to test it: "You asked me before if I was of royal blood, so what if I answer you now?" ”
The Undead Knight sneered.
Brando couldn't help but sigh, it still looks like there are some differences from the game. But at least it's more real than in Amber Sword, isn't it, he couldn't help but think to himself.
"Looks like you're going to take your secret to Master Martha, Alberton." Sensing that the task of activating was hopeless, the young man sighed.
But this time Alberton shook his head.
"Not necessarily."
He said.
