"Those guys come from somewhere, like the accents from Eldijk, or the smugglers from Greywater, or just the people from that area. There were a dozen or so of them, most of them of the aforementioned kind, but two or three of them were quite different, they were taller and spoke more like natives, and at one point Niberto noticed that they were all wielding the same swords, the longer and thinner sabers, with reliefs of two wings on their gauntlets. …… These guys live in an abandoned hunter's camp in the forest, and they rarely go out on weekdays and don't interact much with outsiders. They stayed there for at least half a month, and at first Captain Madden sent someone to spy on them, but we found that their range of activities was very narrow, and they had little to do with us, and over time no one cared about them. These people are not particularly outstanding, and of course there may be one or two tricky ones, but they are not to be feared. …… The abandoned hunters' camp was said to have been left before the war, and the original owner had already fled to the north, so it was put on hold, and the camp was not far from here, and after entering the forest, heading south, about an hour and a half later, you could see that there was a path leading to that place. ”

According to little Phoenix's account, Brando had led the patrol cavalry into the forest, the first full moon had fallen below the horizon, the second moon had just risen above the hill, the gray moon hung over the horizon, and they headed south along the foot of the slope illuminated by the slanting moon, a path weaved between the twisted bushes, and it was not long before they found the hunter's camp described.

The moonlight was bright that night, and it was clear from miles that the camp was located in a col, and Brando stood in the woods at the top of the hill looking out over the hunter's camp. While confirming to little Phoenix beside him, "Is that there?" He quickly received an affirmative reply: "That's it, Big Brother Brando." Little Phoenix whispered: "In the past, Captain Madden often brought us here to train, but some time ago, the bones were too noisy, and this place was occupied by others. He bragged again: "Honestly, if it weren't for Captain Madden, let's not get into trouble." I had someone blow them away, and those guys weren't good people at first glance—"

Freya withdrew a hand that had been slammed on little Phoenix's head, and gave the guy an angry look, she hadn't seen her for more than a year, and the little guy had a vague tendency to replace her as the new head of the Buchi militia, Essen and Makemi were older than him, but the young people preferred capable leaders. If he was still in Butch, this little guy would never dare to be so arrogant, he would dare to take everyone to fight. Freya was furious at the thought of this, and the Buchi militia had never been synonymous with trouble under her leadership.

Although the young men who patrolled the cavalry had sad faces, they couldn't help but snicker at this time, little Phoenix rubbed his red forehead and looked at them, feeling that his pride had been hurt, and said angrily: "What, do you think I don't have that ability? ”

"Of course not, little Mr. Phoenix. We admire you for being tight. ”

"Yes, yes!" The patrol cavalry hurriedly replied.

Ou Jin also complimented: "This little friend of the Earl is amazingly talented in swordsmanship, and he will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements one day. ”

Brando glanced at little Phoenix. I agree with this very much, in this era, there are two heroes in Buch, one Freya and one Bresson, but little Phoenix's swordsmanship talent is even far greater than these two, and he doesn't know if this boy died in Buch in history. It is true that Eruin did not have such a name to shine later. "Little Phoenix, what are your plans for the future?" Brando asked.

"Captain Madden wants to nominate me to the garrison in the Manoville area, where he has some old friends who can make a difference." For Brando, little Phoenix didn't hide anything.

"Okay," Brando nodded noncommittally, "what do you think of yourself?" ”

Little Phoenix stared at him, "Big Brother Brando." I want to learn swordsmanship with you. ”

Somehow, Brando suddenly remembered Haruzer, he nodded silently, this was actually the idea he suddenly had before, he saw little Phoenix's outstanding swordsmanship talent, and he had the idea that he couldn't let such a pearl fall into the dust here; There is no name Phoenix in history, but there must be a place in this world for this teenager. He had such a hunch when he left Buchi, but looking back now, Eruin may well have missed out on a true talent.

In time, it is entirely possible for little Phoenix to grow into a sword master like his grandfather. When Brando thought so, he didn't consider that his current reputation had a faint tendency to inherit Darus's status, especially in the aristocratic circle, many people already knew that Darus had a grandson, who was only in his early twenties, and he already had the strength of elemental civilization and sword saint level, following the Anson era, Eruin was about to have a real sword saint in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Brando, did you promise!?" Little Phoenix exclaimed excitedly.

"Brando, don't get used to him too much," Freya couldn't help but interject, "The captain's arrangement must have his reason, I think you'd better ask Uncle Madden first." ”

"Sister Freya, you can't turn your elbow out!"

"Hey, tell me how my elbow turned out, Brando is not an outsider!"

"For the eldest sister, Big Brother Brando is indeed not an outsider, so I am losing my words."

"You...... You guy! Freya was almost by little Phoenix's words.

Brando smiled at the siblings, feeling as if he had returned to the time of Bouche, he didn't care at all about Freya's worries, Madden arranged for little Phoenix to go to Manowell to join the garrison, that was because he didn't know the situation of him and Freya, and now they are back in Buchi, I'm afraid that he will say that Madden will also come to ask him, where little Phoenix is more promising, the veteran who participated in the November War will not be unclear.

He looked again at the hunter's camp in the col, and he had not come here on a whim to impersonate the magistrate of Pragues, but there was a sentence in Little Phoenix's description of the men that caught his attention—'There were a dozen or so of them, most of them of the kind mentioned above.' Two or three of them were quite different, though, as they were taller and spoke more like natives, and on one occasion Nibeto noticed that they were all wielding the same swords—longer, thinner sabers, with reliefs of two wings on their gauntlets. This is a typical cavalry sword, and in the Golan-Elsen there is only one kind of person who wields this kind of sword. It was the White Winged Cavalry, and the decoration on the sword also illustrated this from the side, so these three men were most likely deserters, and he remembered the last few words that Tester had left last night, and a strong alarm suddenly rose in his heart, prompting him to find out.

However, he didn't tell Freya and Little Phoenix, it was just a guess after all.

The group soon touched the vicinity of the camp, and Brando instructed the patrol cavalry to surround the entire camp first, not knowing if they had a mind in mind. Or maybe these young men from Pragus really showed some skill, and under the leadership of Ou Jin, they quietly scattered in all directions, and soon controlled the camp around it. When everyone got closer, they saw a few scattered wooden houses scattered among the woods, and a wooden wall more than one person high enclosed the camp, but the wooden wall was tattered and full of gaps, and the camp was overgrown with weeds. It seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time, and this alone indicates that these people do not intend to live here for long. In this era, outcasts are basically synonymous with outlaws.

Eugene looked at it twice, and then told Sù Brando, "These guys are really back, it's so bold, I thought they would at least change places." ”

With Brando's keen perception, he could naturally hear twelve breaths in the room, and he thought to himself that he was worthy of being in charge of local security. It seems that he really has some ability. He looked at the patrol cavalry captain with some curiosity and asked, "How did you tell?" ”

Eugene gave the count a strange look, and pointed to the second room, and Brando couldn't help coughing lightly when he saw it, which turned out to be at the door of that room. There was a guy sitting on the night watch. He patted his head lightly, and listened to the sound, but he did not notice that there was a bandit in front of him, and his face was too great, and he hurriedly shut his mouth, and pretended to have a deep look on his face, so as not to let others see that he, the Earl, was actually ugly.

Brando listened carefully for a while, and found that as little Phoenix said, the strength of these people is very ordinary, the guy who kept vigil has about the strength of the upper reaches of black iron, and the level of the others is about the same as him, and there is a silver-level guy in the third room, because it is too far away Brando is not easy to judge what kind of distance is in silver, but it must not exceed the median level. After judging this, he immediately felt a little disappointed, the level of these people is too poor, even if they are cultists, I am afraid they will not be the core figures. In Vaughnde, this kind of outlaw is not uncommon everywhere, they often travel around to commit crimes, commit murder or other sensational crimes, but their world obviously has nothing to do with him.

Brando shook his head in disappointment when he confirmed this, and then gestured to the patrol cavalry on the side.

The meaning of that gesture is to tell the patrol cavalry that there are about a few people in the house, where are they distributed, and what their strength is, this is a common tactical gesture used by the patrol cavalry, Brando is easy to use, and Ou Jin, who saw it on the side, was also stunned, thinking that this count is also from the patrol cavalry? Of course, he didn't think that Brando would be a low-level minion like them, most of them were high-level commanders of patrol cavalry or big knights, but he didn't know that his previous idea was closer to the truth.

Although these cultists seemed to be nothing more than a few thieves, Brando did not intend to let go of them since he met them, and he did not intend to do it himself, but gave this credit to these young people who patrolled the cavalry, after all, these young men accompanied him for half the night in the barren mountains and mountains, and always wanted to make some profit, right, even if they did not do it voluntarily.

At the behest of Brando and Eugin, the young patrol knights sprang into action, and they first entered the camp and quietly killed the night watchman - as Eugen said, these lawless men were frighteningly bold, and there was only one person in the entire camp who kept vigil, even the one who was on the night watch, in fact, was dozing off - they obviously did not expect the patrol cavalry to come to their lair, and the young men of the patrol cavalry did not wake up the bandits until they entered the third room. The battle took place almost instantly.

The silver-level cultist was the first to react, grabbed his sword and rushed towards the patrol cavalry, Ou Jin also rushed over with his sword, and the sword light flashed in the hands of the two ping-pong people, but no one could help anyone, obviously this cultist was also quite tricky for the patrol cavalry captain. But alas. This fellow's men were more pussy, and they quickly fell one by one under the siege of the patrol knights, and finally the leader of the cult was left alone in the room, probably knowing that there was no hope of breaking through, he suddenly let out a roar of rage, turned the tip of his sword and plunged it into his throat with a snort, and fell to the ground and died.

The battle ended faster than expected, and Brando was a little shocked by the combat effectiveness of these patrol knights, and then relieved. The current qiē just doesn't show how strong the kingdom's patrol cavalry is. But on the contrary, it was precisely because these cavalrymen in charge of local security were too bad on weekdays that these outlaws dared to be so bold, they obviously did not expect that this local security team composed of noble heirs would come to raid them in the middle of the night, if it wasn't for Brando's own hands to let them witness this fact, they must have thought that this was a fantasy.

But the young knights were apparently unaware of this, and they happily escorted the bandits—but there was still a breath of air—out of the house one by one, and little Phoenix was not willing to be left behind. Naturally, I also grabbed one with my own hands. The cultists lined up outside the camp, and there were five left. Most of the others had their throats cut in their sleep. Brando glanced at the taller of the remaining five, and he paid special attention to the swords thrown in front of them, and sure enough, as little Phoenix said, they were two cavalry swords of the White Winged Cavalry.

As for the third person, Brando knew that he was probably dead.

"Did you ask something?" He turned back to ask Ou Jin.

Ogin shook his head at Brando, who was slightly older than his own young men. But he was only in his thirties, and according to the calculation of the Vajnd Continent, he was still a young man, and he was also the captain of these patrol cavalry teams, and his subordinates had found out that these people were all cultists of the One Society. This is a great achievement, in one fell swoop captured twelve cultists, and five are alive, not to mention the three deserters of the White Wing Cavalry Regiment, and Eugene can almost see that a medal is already beckoning to him.

He replied to Brando with a grin: "Lord Count, these guys are all cultists, and they are very hard-mouthed, and they won't say anything, but it doesn't matter, they are also dead anyway, and when they are sent back, they will not be hanged until next week." When the time comes, I will pack a better grandstand and invite the adults to visit it in person. ”

Brando didn't have any bad taste to visit the hanging, or maybe he didn't care about this thing at all, he shook his head, but he also understood that what Eugen said was not wrong, but all the members of the Society for the Oneness of All Things, down to this kind of outlaw, up to the nobles like Anlek, most of them were ghosts, and they would not look back until they died. They probably also understand that once their identities are exposed, the fate that awaits them is death, so they don't have any luck mentality.

But that meant he had run for nothing tonight.

While he was thinking this, a young patrol knight suddenly ran out of the house, waving something in his hand, and exclaimed excitedly, "My lord, another piece of evidence has been found. ”

The guy ran closer, and Brando saw that he had a map in his hand, and he opened it in front of Eugin, and Brando immediately understood why this guy was so excited: this map should have drawn the terrain of the streets in Pragusburg, very detailed, a typical military map. As soon as Brando looked at the two winged markings on the map, he knew that it might be a map used within the White Winged Cavalry Regiment, and it was a felony to keep military maps for private purposes in this era, not to mention stealing them from the army.

Brando's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt Freya touch his hand lightly.

Freya also read military maps, and at a glance she saw two light red circles on the map, one of which was marked at 52 Gravedigger's Street.

"Brando." She reminded in a whisper.

Brando understood, and immediately turned his head and whispered in her ear, "Freya, you go and call Antitina and her right away." ”

"Antitina, ...... she?"

Brando nodded, he had already thought that he had guessed wrong, but he didn't expect that the deserters of the White Wing Cavalry Regiment in front of him, and the commander of the White Wing Cavalry Regiment who was on the gallows and also belonged to the White Wing Cavalry Regiment, Magske, the last wail of Test, plus this map, a light or dark line seemed to have appeared in front of his eyes. But he wondered how these things were always pestering Antitina with what could be interesting to her as a nobleman?

Brando thought about it carefully, and shook his head a little confusedly, this matter is completely strange, Tester and Magske are obviously upper-level members of the One Society, it stands to reason that it seems to be a matter of concern at their level, obviously it is not the turn of these cannon fodder to interfere, what is there in this?

Thinking of this, he turned around and patted Ou Jin on the shoulder: "Mr. Captain, I hope you can do me a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Ou Jin looked at the Earl with a slight startle.

"I think the identities of these people are more than just what they seem, and I'd better not send them to the prison in Prague first, but find a place to interrogate them." Brando replied.

Eugene hesitated for a moment, then nodded immediately, obviously more reluctant to offend Brando than a credit.

Brando smiled at him, "Thank you very much, Mr. Captain, don't worry, the credit must still belong to you and your boys." ”

When Eugene heard Brando thank him, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had probably made the right decision this time.
