Act 124 The Abyss
In the space of a moment, Brando and Veronica fought ten times.
It seemed as if the lord from Eruin had the upper hand, but for a moment everyone around him, including the centaurs, was still stunned.
Of course, they could see how terrible this woman was, and even the Peace Barrier flickered because of her power, and when Veronica let go of her sword, her power finally activated the counterattack of the Peace Barrier, but those thorns that could easily bind Fayna together were swept into ashes by the sword qi before they could get close to the female sword master.
Veronica didn't even bother to attack the vines, but none of these things could get within ten feet of her.
But even so, Brando can still fight with her.
Veronica herself gradually felt agitated, and this time the Cruz Empire entered the Black Forest in the name of an envoy to contact the druids, "Actually, the real purpose is to find out the details of the large-scale magical reaction a few months ago." The wizards had foreseen that it was an artifact reaction, and that it was likely to reveal the whereabouts of the Empire's long-lost Lionheart, as evidenced by the subsequent divination of the court astrologers.
The importance of the Lionheart to the Cruz Empire is self-evident, and although it has been stolen by Eruin's ancestor Eke for hundreds of years, the empire has never given up on finding its whereabouts. It's the same this time, "But after all, this is not in the territory of the Empire, they have always kept a low profile, but this time they made a big deal because of a mistake in their own judgment."
If you had suppressed this ding) boy with coercion earlier, you would have taken down the other party directly as soon as you made a move. But now the opponent's sword realm and momentum have climbed to the highest peak, even if her momentum explodes, she can't suppress the other party.
Instead, it will provoke a sharp revolt against responsibility.
The female captain couldn't help but be a little shocked, "When did Eruin come out with such a genius, at such an age, Veronica herself was born in a swordsmanship family, and she has been a shining star of Cruz since she was a child", but she thought that she would not be able to fight with her current self for so long in the other party's current age.
For a moment she wanted to put down her sword, and asked the other party if she would like to go back to Cruz with her, it was so rare to be her student, and the other party often judged her attack intentions, knowing that this young man was only fighting her for the first time, such a talent was simply rare in the world.
But at this time, Veronica was already riding a tiger, and she knew that this battle must be won and lost as much as possible.
She didn't have much time, "finally couldn't help but want to burst out her [real] real strength, as for whether it would destroy half of the market with a sword, the female army leader couldn't care so much.
Anyway, the druids didn't care about her, "At most, they were just expelling them from the city, and how could she, the commander of the Blue Sky Legion of the Imperial Empire, hold back for such a trivial matter."
Veronica had made up her mind, and the sword in her hand glowed with a cyan glow.
"Be careful!" Otares immediately reminded.
Brando also felt this terrifying power, "He knew that as long as he dodged this sword, Veronica would have no room to pursue, but how could he dodge?"
He looked back and saw Antitina and Akane standing not far away with Funya in their arms.
"This crazy woman!"
Brando was also furious.
"In the name of the wind, holy sword, one!" He beckoned, and the cyan wings behind him suddenly appeared" He pointed the Earth Sword forward, and the light wings retreated to the sides, revealing hundreds of lightsabers floating behind him, pointing at Veronica and the group behind her.
Veronica was about to draw her sword, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned This is not just Veronica, almost everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the cyan light wings behind Brando spread, and countless swords were suspended in mid-air and pointed at every soldier of the Cruz Empire present.
"You can give it a try." Brando looked at Veronica and replied calmly.
"Are you threatening an Imperial Legion?" Veronica's emerald eyebrows frowned slightly, "You think these little things can hurt me?" ”
"It may not hurt you, but this is a blow with more than two hundred silver forces in an instant" Captain Veronica, do you have what it takes to protect everyone under such an attack? Brando said lightly.
Veronica frowned, "Rono is an alchemist" is also a knight, and he is also the youngest and most talented of the royal alchemists, and he has been received by His Majesty many times. Faina's identity is even more special, and there must be no problems with them.
The female captain was stunned for a while, but she didn't expect that she would be caught by the other party.
"Risking a lady's life" despicable! "Fayna saw that the Legion Commander she admired was in a dilemma, or because of her," the aristocratic daughter couldn't help but hate Brando, if her eyes could kill, then she must have pierced Brando's body a hundred holes.
"Fighting less with more and bullying the small with the big doesn't seem to be honorable." Antitina immediately retorted, and the two noble ladies did not back down in this regard.
She lifted her chin: "Captain Veronica, is this how your country's honor comes from?" "Of course Antitina knew Veronica, and even if she didn't know the lady's appearance, the blue of the sky wouldn't lie.
Veronica snorted coldly and did not answer positively: "Elemental envoys, alchemists, sword saints will also be armed with the heavens, when did Eruin have such a genius, except for the Temple of the Wind" Even the Sanctuary intervened.
She sneered: "I can't see it, Eruin can attract the attention of so many forces", Brando almost vomited a mouthful of blood on the screen when he heard this~ Of course, if there is a screen, this is just the effect of the wind spirit spider and the holy sword card, which has a dime to do with the heavenly army! However, Brando looked back at his holy sword technique, and couldn't help but feel a mouthful of old blood, he thought to himself, how could he not have discovered this spell before, it seemed that it was indeed a little similar to the Heavenly Armament.
But wait, these are two different spells.
But this is not the key issue, the key problem is that the Celestial Armament is one of the signature spells of the Templar forces' light spells, "only the clergy above the priesthood can cast them", and the Templar forces and the Flame Sanctuary are feuds, "two mortal enemies who fought to the death in the Second Holy War.
Brando had no doubt that if there was any priest or higher in the temple of fire in Eruin, he would hear that he would be armed with the kingdom of heaven, "I guess he would come to the fir leader the next day and invite him to the temple for tea."
Brando dared to rebel against the nobles of Ezin, "but he didn't dare to compete with the strength of the entire Flame Temple, Martha was on top, it was a combination of two empires and twelve countries, and the seven great priests only needed to give an order, not to mention Tonigel, even Eruin would only be wiped out."
In fact, Eruin has survived to this day "purely because the Temple recognized this ancient kingdom, otherwise how could Cruz tolerate the secession of this territory from his own land to this day."
But how could he explain it?
I can't say aha, I'm actually a traveling mage, right? What is a Brigade Mage? Could it be that they are told that "the Traveling Mage is actually a professional player?"
It's no wonder that Veronica didn't slap him to the ground.
Therefore, Brando was a little depressed for a while, and he could only hope that this crazy woman would accumulate virtue in her mouth, but don't take this matter out and talk nonsense. Fortunately, Veronica in history has always been silent in front of outsiders, and she is not the kind of person who likes to catch people's handles.
But Veronica does not dwell on this topic" On the contrary, the female captain only raised her sword indifferently for a year, and said extremely arrogantly: "But young man, do you really think that I dare not attack? ”
Brando choked, and he immediately felt an infinite amount of pressure converging on him.
"She made up her mind to make a move." Ottales reminded.
"Maniac!" , Brando cursed in his heart, and at the same time, his mind was frantically calculating how to dodge the other party's sword.
But it was at this time," a majestic voice came from the sky.
"Cruz, you attack?"
This huge sound seemed to echo in the sky, rumbling in everyone's ears, "Everyone is suffocated", and then saw the surrounding green enchantment begin to flicker, and one after another druids appeared from it.
As soon as they appeared, they "stood in front of Brando, completely blocking Veronica's offensive line, and there was silence on the scene."
Veronica frowned secretly, "The raised sword was put down again."
The druids finally arrived, "no matter how arrogant she is, she won't break their rules in front of the druids", not to mention that if she accidentally hurts the druids here, "I'm afraid that even the empire will have to come up with an explanation because of her special status."
Don't look at the druids who don't seem to be interested in the world and haven't stepped into the mortal world for hundreds of years," but she knew very well that the Sky Ring was no joke when it got angry.
There are tens of thousands of Black Forests on the entire Vajnd border, and there must be traces of druids in each of them, and as for how many druids there are in the whole world, only Lord Martha knows.
Not to mention that Elranta, the forest nation, is still an ally of theirs.
"Lady Veronica, your mission promised not to cause trouble here when you entered, and you should understand that although the Cruz Empire is strong, it has nothing to do with the druids." , the druids said coldly.
Brando recognized at a glance that the leading Druid Elder was one of the seventeen elders in the morning, but the other party's tough tone made him can't help but smack his tongue, which is to show that he will not give face to these Cruz people. ”
And as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he questioned Veronica first, which was obviously abnormal, and he knew in his heart that the other party was actually biasing himself by saying this.
It seems that these druids are very impressed with their own mentions.
Veronica's face sank.
Of course, she could hear the other party's bad tone, and she had hoped to use the identity of the Cruz Mission to suppress the other party and see if she could take Brando off the hands of these turf guys.
After all, in her opinion, Brando is just a minor Eruin nobleman who has come here to take risks, "It is self-evident which is more important than the Cruz Legation, but she didn't expect these druids to be so impersonal that they completely blocked this possibility as soon as they opened their mouths."
The female legionnaire couldn't help but look at these druids carefully with her turquoise eyes, she wondered if the other party was really unkind, or was it because this young man had something to do with the other party?
But what can a minor Eruin nobleman have to do with a druid?
