Act 154: Dawn (Part 1)
Element? ”
Brando doesn't seem to have heard of anything like it, although reversing cause and effect, time regression, and spatial dislocation can all have similar effects. But the first description of logic is: order, regularity, and time is only related to the relative motion of objects, and the process of reversal cannot be related to itself and it.
The way in which the power of the gold-level element is manifested is inherently uncontrollable, and must be produced by itself and it, so the time element can almost certainly be ruled out.
There are so many definitions of space that the element of 'space' alone has several meanings, and there is a lot of intersection with the element of time. Originally, order and stability seem like a definition to describe space, but space contains an infinite number of sub-definitions—which can be related to displacement, vectors, motion, and even matter and spirit.
However, there is one point that spatial dislocation is related to displacement, and obviously has nothing to do with stationarity and stability.
As for the sub-elements of the lower level: the necessity of cause and effect, or the optical element, the refraction, the curved path, or the illusion element, none of which can lower the temperature of the material realm, let alone have anything to do with order and stability.
Brando felt someone approaching behind him, and a faint scent came from his nose, like the scent of the leaves of some kind of tree in the southern hills of Eruin after the summer—he knew that Akane often wore one of these leaves on her hairpins. He didn't look back to feel the red-haired girl walk up to him, she staring ahead and unloading her saber grate, though she didn't often give it to him silently.
"Whoa." Akane said.
"Thank you. ’
Brando took his sword, just in time to see the tall figure of Kabaith stand up from the ruins with a clattering pebble of falling stones. The Undead Lord looked at this side with hatred, and Brando's elemental power made it suspicious 'Its element: Soul power is designed to strengthen attack and defense' was completely inferior compared to the young man's weird element, and it was almost suppressed on the ground; It did not dare to act rashly, and although the mercenaries, led by Metisa, were relentless in their charge against Baron Grudin's private army, Kabais could only confront Brando motionlessly.
It had been a sure winner, but now it was even worried that the mysterious young man would take the initiative to attack, and the skeleton pressed against the wound in its brass armor, not sure if it could really stop Brando's attack. It knew that the situation could not be changed, but at least it demanded that Brando be kept here.
"Defeat it? Akane grabbed the axe and asked.
Brando shook his head. He was also unsure, the power of the elements was erratic and uncontrollable. And Kabais's actual strength far exceeds him, and he can afford to make mistakes, but he can't. If he miscalculates the role of the elements, he just needs to give Kabaiz a chance to fight back, then the price is more than he can afford.
The young man has long put life and death aside, but he is in this position, but he is responsible for more people.
Death is simple, but it is a coward's choice.
"That attack was to force you out, I thought you could see it." Brando replied, 'He's talking about Akane blocking the axe for him.'
"I'm sorry," Akane suddenly reacted and looked at him in surprise: "You...... You know? But she had come up alone, so far away in the forest, and besides, she had experience in hiding in the forest.
The red-haired girl clearly remembered that he was leading Funya far ahead, and did not look back once, and she suddenly shut up and looked at Brando suspiciously.
She wondered if Brando was cheating on her.
"I found out when you went out with me," Brando replied, "the vessel of the blood of the gods." ’’
"Ahh ’
The red-haired girl bowed her head, 'In her opinion, the young lord was used to being in control, and she went her own way. Even the merchant lady, whom everyone liked, he could just keep a straight face and reproach her. However, before she acted rashly, she thought about it alone, "Blame is blamed", anyway, she is used to one by one, at least compared to the feeling of not being taken seriously.
She took a light breath, and suddenly thought of another possibility. He wouldn't want to blame Chestnut and everyone, would he? The more the girl thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and she couldn't help but raise her head and look at him alertly.
"What are you thinking? Brando read a clear suspicion in the red-haired girl's eyes.
"I do things alone, and I do it alone. ,' Akane said, frowning.
'Responsible?' Brando looked at the motionless Kabais, wondering if you can afford to wait or I can afford to wait. But he wasn't in a hurry, he just talked to Qian with a pair or not. But his indifferent attitude made the red-haired girl think that he would definitely be angry with the gray wolf mercenary, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy, she didn't expect that her momentary behavior would cause others to be guilty.
Akane gritted her teeth, "Anything!" ’’
Although she is just an orphan, she is a girl who grew up in a mercenary group. But they are also familiar with rumors about the aristocracy.
Brando looked at her with a slight startle. The girl's cheeks were crimson, and even the roots of her ears were hot, as if she had used all her strength to say this: "Anything...... My lord, but please don't trouble them. ’’
"Huh?" ’
"Isn't that enough." Akane asked through gritted teeth.
'What?' Brando was a little puzzled: "They? Who are they? ’’
"Zafde, and everybody." ’
"Why should I trouble them? ,’
The red-haired girl was stunned, and she looked up at Brando with amber eyes, as if trying to tell the truth between his expressions.
"Because of one by one," she realized she had missed, but immediately kept silent.
Brando suddenly understood what she was talking about, and he smiled: "With your character, I will be strange if you don't keep up." ’’
'Really?' Akane asked faintly. She looked away again: "I look like I'm stupid......,
"Not really" Brando shook his head, "I just respect your choice." ’’
"What about the others. The red-haired girl's eyes flashed.
"Everyone has their own responsibilities and obligations, just as people can be willful, but they can't be willful all the time. Brando replied, "I respect their choice as much as I do, but after the choice, all that remains is the responsibility for the choice." Impulsiveness can dictate one's behavior in the moment, but the boundary between idealism and naivety lies in whether one really understands what he has to pay for it and what he is willing to do for it. ’’
"So you must be here, and you won't choose to escape, right?" ,
The red-haired girl nodded, looked at the shadow cast by the cold castle in the darkness, and said fiercely: "Cowardly, if you want me to back down in front of that scumbag, it is better to kill me-''
"So, our attitude is the same--hey" Brando smiled bitterly, "We are on the same front, fighting side by side, why blame you?" ,’
Akane lowered her eyelids: "After all, I'm still an outsider." ,’
Brando glanced at her, and suddenly realized what the girl was thinking. Of course, he wanted her to become a gold-level combat power for his subordinates, and she would be taken seriously wherever she was placed. But it's not bad, slowly integrating into the group, and emotionally speaking, it is more stable. He never intended to give up on Akane, but using other members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group to blackmail a girl was obviously not his hobby.
So he just smiled.
There was a moment of silence on the battlefield. Brando watched as Kabais's massive bony claws held the short spear - of course, from a normal person's point of view, no different from a normal spear...... the soul fire in the eyes of the undead lord burned motionless. The young man knew that it had made up its mind to set itself here' He glanced absentmindedly at the battle situation in front of him, and simply said to Akane, "Akane." ’’
"In." ,
"Go and support Metisa, okay? Here's it to me,'
Akane nodded, and lifted the axe.
She looked at Kabaiz in the mist, and took two steps, then stopped. "It's all you need to command—" said softly in the girl's voice, 'Brando was slightly startled, and looked up. only to see that the back of the red-haired girl had disappeared into the smoke-filled street. Brando was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He looked up at Kabaiz again, and the two sides remained motionless.
While Brando confronts the Undead Lord, on the other side of the battlefield, Medissa is in trouble. When the mercenaries continued to drive Grudin's private army to the inner city, with the advantage of fighting will and combat effectiveness, the offensive that had been smooth ran into trouble when approaching Lenggui Castle. It was the last line of defense for the nobles' private soldiers, but behind it was not only Grudin's private army, but also a row of ribs that swam with a faint bony sheen and a pale white skeleton in the moonlight.
These skeleton soldiers were very different from what Brando had seen in Butch, and compared to the average skeleton warrior, they wore light leather armor and were armed with short spears, short swords, and a small round shield. Each of them carried three or four of the same bone spears, and they stood silently behind the line of defense, motionless - but in fact they had caused great damage to the mercenaries in the first short time of contact. And if Brando would split these undead creatures here - the elite column of Madara's "bone thorns", these skeletons are the low-level undead assault column, the famous personal guard of Tagus, and it can even be called the 'high-level storage zài' among the low-level units.
And in fact, where they are, Tagus or the high-ranking generals around him should be there.
It's like standing quietly in front of the female knight at this moment, with a huge scythe dragging on the ground, the undead knight in a long black cloak. Among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, if one of the most powerful beings at this time of year should be Malfos, the Green Knight who is the leader of the Legion at the moment. But the most taboo and mysterious of all is none other than the Black Knight, the fair Inquisitor.
It beckoned its head, 'a half-crying, half-laughing expression on the metal mask that made up an eerie symbol,' but the golden eyes fell on Metisa.
'Who are you?' , Metissa frowned slightly, before she fought with the other party, instinctively felt the strength of the other party.
"Silver Elf," the black knight Bai was slightly stunned, and his magnetic voice sighed: "Are you also with that person, it's really incomprehensible."
Neither Viscount Gunstin, nor Brando of Booch calling himself a Knight of the Highlands, but the Wizard of the Black Tower could not have known Madara that way. In my opinion, 'he's more like the first of the ancestors.'"
"Ancestors? 'The Silver Elf Princess was stunned for a moment.
But Shi Fang raised his head.
There was a southern fire in his eyes, and it was a magical signal that was rising into the sky—
