Act II: Mercenaries

Overwell took out a necklace from his bosom before he began, a brass necklace that was very common, with a beautiful crystal pendant hanging from the polished chain, on which was written a line of small letters: Freya.

He showed the necklace to the maiden, and said, "This necklace is what she carries with her, and her name should be derived from that." But it was actually her mother's name, Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Her mother?" The girl held the necklace with her slender hand, and her expression remained unchanged.

"It's Everton's wife, who died in the riot seventeen years ago."

"Then this girl should be the only descendant of Everton, right?"

"Exactly."

"Since Lord Ferver is here, then this little girl must have managed to escape, so to speak?" The girl asked.

"It's okay to say yes, but there's something bizarre about the process." The middle-aged man nodded indifferently, but his eyebrows were slightly raised, as if he remembered something interesting.

"Oh?" The princess was slightly surprised.

"Actually, it's mostly about the young man."

"So it came back to him?"

"No, it's just that the young man has been playing some kind of wonderful role all the time. It may seem like a trivial sentence to say this, but in fact, the whole escape journey was full of unforeseen - there were a few situations that were so critical that even I couldn't get involved, and even many people couldn't even imagine that situation, but he was forced to move back-"

When Buffwell mentioned this, he couldn't help but sneer: "To put it mildly, compared to some incompetent people, this young man is probably the only one who let Madara eat a turtle once in this battle." ”

"Oh?" The girl's pale silver-gray eyes lit up slightly.

"Especially when he got a good thing in the process," the middle-aged man said this, and couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence: "But what is it, Rong Laochen sells it." ”

"I'm even more interested in hearing about what kind of man even the young man who has beaten Lord Verver is like. It's just that time is running out, so let's start. ”

Buffwell nodded, took a step back, and continued to recount what had happened that night......

*********

Freya heard Sue whistling at the corner of the street, crisp and pleasant, sounding like a nightingale's voice, but it was a warning. She hurriedly turned around, and found that four or five strangers on the street had gathered around her, knowing that her previous movements had been a little too big, causing the other party's hostility.

Without thinking about it, she pushed Roman's distant relative away and rushed into the house. The people behind immediately quickened their pace to catch up, but Freya had already rushed into the bedroom to close the door, and then overturned the cabinet and stuck in the hallway.

The thud sounded immediately, and Freya felt her heart beat out of her chest, and she looked at the window next to herβ€”gritting her teeth, and leaping out of it with her hands on her head.

Eruin jumped out of the wooden lattice window that most ordinary civilians still used at this time, although it was protected by the wind, but it still hit Freya's arm and forehead with a faint pain, she rolled on the ground a few times, found that she had reached the alley behind the street, raised her head and swept left and right, just in time to see Sue stumbling into the alley from the other end.

But the girl's face turned pale, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Sue!" Freya stood up and shouted halfway, but half of her words got stuck in her throat.

She looked up and saw that the blue light was moving towards the center of the sky. At first, the girl didn't realize what it was, but she was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly reacted - it was an arrow.

An arrow that ignites the fire of the soul, the masterpiece of the skeleton archer of Madara. The experience of that night in Bouchi came to her mind, and Freya shouted to be careful, and rushed over to protect Sue under her.

The rain of arrows immediately fell on the ground, and countless arrows crackled and smashed on the tiles of the nearby houses, and the thin layer of tiles could not stop the cone-shaped heavy arrows made by Madara, and the house soon resounded with screams. Freya felt Sue tremble as she hugged herself on the groundβ€”she wasn't any better, her face was bloodless, and she felt like her heart was going to stop.

Several arrows struck the cyan wind feather that surrounded her, and bounced outward. Freya doesn't know that the defense of the Half-Body Armor after the Wind in the game is 3 points of all-round protection of the Wind Feather, and 2 points of the half-body armor itself - when in fact, the defense of the full-body armor is only 3 points.

Therefore, she always thought that she might die in the next second, and closed her eyes in fright, but her body was still motionless to protect the girl below.

For about a minute, two waves of arrows rained back and forth, and the crackling sound around them finally thinned out. Sue and Freya opened their eyes together in a trembling voice, and they glanced at each other, each seeing a palpitation in their eyes.

"Skeleton...... Skull ...... Skeletons, outside. Su said with some breathlessness.

Freya was slightly stunned, and then her heart was cold, and she understood that it was the army of Mardala that had entered the city. She never suspected that Brando would lie to her, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, and now she understood why he kept asking for time so deliberately.

The future Valkyrie got up when she thought of this, grabbed Sue's hand and pulled the other party up: "Sue, let's go!" ”

"Where to go?" Su asked, a little overwhelmed.

"Run! Get out of here! Let's leave this place together! Freya's heart was in turmoil, she really understood how much pressure Brando was under at this time, she thought about it and thought about it, and she could only think of taking one step at a time and waiting to see Brando.

"I'm going back, my father is still in the store."

"I'll go with you."

Sue nodded.

The Bonoan Market is on the west side of Riedenburg, close to the Pine River, while the Bronze Dragon Story Club Bar is on the north street between the Bonoan Market and the Traveler's Bridge, not far in between. But by the time Freya and Sue got there, the streets and outside the bar were already full of people because of the fire burning in the direction of the West Gate.

Since that night, first the fire in the House of Nobles, and then the frequent movement of the guards, has been full of unquiet colors. So people were already talking to each other, asking each other what was going on.

Some of them thought that the army of Madara had already arrived in the city, and some thought that the nobles in the city were attacking, but they did not expect that the army of the undead had entered the city. Freya and Sue parted from the crowd and found that the owner of the 'Red Bronze Dragon Tale Club' and its guests had already run outside, pointing fingers at the blazing West Gate.

As soon as Su saw his father, he rushed over, like a milk swallow throwing himself into the forest, and his daughter's actions made the bar owner Leto slightly stunned. He patted the girl on the back to calm Sue for a moment, but the latter stood on tiptoe and whispered something in his ear. Leto's eyes sank, he looked at Freya, nodded to her in gratitude, and then turned to the group of mercenaries beside him, who noticed that most of them had been his guests before.

Leto clapped his hands and told them to stop and look at him. Some people even joked: "What's the matter, old Leto, could it be that you want to invite us to drink for this big firework?" ”

Everyone applauded.

But the owner of the bar replied, "It's okay to drink, but not today." Listen, Madhara has entered the city. ”

He said that the first time Madara entered the city, the men did not understand, and it took several seconds for them to react. Then Leto added it again, and it was only then that the thirty or so people on the scene were all quiet.

It's true?

There is such a sentence clearly written on the faces of all people now.

"Su sue me, she won't lie to me." Leto confessed.

Freya frowned slightly, the news would not be discussed in public by ordinary people, because even she knew that it might cause panic. But unless Leto hadn't thought about it, or if he had his plans, the chances of the future Valkyries seeing the latter were much greater.

It took about a moment to digest the news, and then someone asked, with some difficulty, "What do we do?" ”

It seemed that everyone present was prioritizing such an issue, rather than turning around and walking away as soon as they heard the news, or yelling. Freya looked at the people carefully, and suddenly realized that the relationship between this bar and its regulars may not be as simple as it seems.

"Let's get out."

"Let's kill it together." Someone mentions yì.

"But how do you get out?" Someone asked again.

Since Madara was attacking from the west gate, the farthest east gate should be the safest place in the eyes of ordinary people. Mercenaries are people who come out of the battlefield, and most of them have some basic tactical literacy, and the siege of Eruin is about siege on three sides and one side, but the key factor depends on whether it is a surprise attack or a siege.

And the tactical purpose of Madala is also important, is the undead to kill, take the city, plunder or have a further target?

This is also a major difficulty in the battle between the Bright World and Madara, because it is difficult for the living to judge what the dead want to do and what kind of tactical intentions they have.

For a while, there were different opinions, but no one could come up with a way to convince the public. Freya waited anxiously for a while, raising her sword hand again and again, and finally recklessly interjected: "Iβ€”I think I know someone who can take you out of townβ€”"

Her words made those present fall silent and turn their eyes to her. Someone recognized her, and had the heart to whistle: "Isn't this the little girl just now?" ”

Freya's face blushed in front of everyone's eyes, she didn't expect to say it like that, she couldn't help but think that she was making the decision on behalf of Brando - would Brando blame her? She suddenly found herself scared of this, but she calmed down and thought about itβ€”from Brando's point of view, he had been looking for help, and since that was the case, it would be enough to gather these people into a useful force.

But how do you get these people together?

When it came to the end, the future Valkyrie was a little hesitant - could she do it? As a militia captain, find a way to command these experienced mercenaries who are born and die on the battlefield.

But Freya quickly calmed down, and at best, she just gave it a try. Thinking so, the girl grabbed her sword and held it to her chest with some nervousness.

She looked a little reserved like a girl, and the others had to look at Leto, who introduced: "It was this young lady who saved my daughter before." ”

"Then Miss, how can we trust you?" So someone asked later.

Here it comes. Freya took a breath, "Of course you can trust me, do you know why the guards wanted to arrest me and my companions?" ”

"Why?"

"Because we are the militia of Buch, which had been invaded by Madara two days ago, our companions and I escaped from Madara's clutches only to report to Fort Ridden, but the reaction of the nobles disappointed us-"

She paused, "Presumably you wouldn't expect those people to save you, would you?" ”

"Of course, those maggots."

"Maggots. Well described, a toast. ”

"Cheers." The crowd responded.

"You mean you have a way to get around Madara's attention?" Leto looked at her and asked.

Freya nodded.
