Act 100: The Bronze Dragon's Visitor (Second Update, Ask for Support)
The guest of the red bronze dragon in the first hundred acts (the second update, please support)
The belief in survival.
When it came time to join the Amber Sword, Ulliel hesitated, but in the end he made his own decision; In fact, the cavalry captain did not flinch when he ventured with the men of the Bronze Dragon, and with so many refugees through several districts, sometimes fighting bandits on the avenues, life was much harder than it had been in Fort Reeden.
Ulliel didn't know what she was doing it for.
All he knew, however, was that those whom he had known in the past—refugees from Ridenberg, those who had hated him in the past—were now addressed with wholehearted respect.
The title hasn't changed, it's still the same Captain Ulliel.
But some things are different after all.
Ulliel found that he could no longer abandon the present qiē, or go back to the old days, as if unconsciously, something called a sense of responsibility arose in him.
That's why he supports Brando, it's actually quite simple. The cavalry captain, Ulliel, told himself that he was not supporting the young lord, but the one who had brought about his change.
He felt that if a person had such charisma that could change and influence a person like him, then he must have the ability to lead them down.
Therefore, he sided with Bartom and Voltaron without any consideration.
Ulliel kept his head down, and at that moment he had a lot on his mind. But what really embarrassed him was Brando's unbelievable order, he thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't help but raise his head with a wry smile and asked:
"Lord Lord......"
"Huh?" Brando actually didn't think less than he did, but the young man thought further, he walked past Ulliel and turned around: "What? ”
"Your Excellency," replied Ulliel with some reluctance, "you said you would inherit a piece of land, but you didn't tell us, that's how you inherited a territory—"
Although the former cavalry captain was on Brando's side, he did not fully approve of Brando's approach in his heart, he was familiar with the rules of the nobles' game, and naturally knew that Brando's move was simply a big disapproval of the world.
Brando was stunned, unexpectedly that Ulliel was thinking about this question, which made the corners of his mouth pull - he couldn't say that it was a temporary idea, could he?
However, what relieved him was that Antitina was not here, otherwise he would have been stared at with resentment by the noble lady who had always complained about his decision.
The young man smiled awkwardly: "Originally, it was true that I wanted to inherit the territory, but something unexpected happened. Grudin's got a **annoyance for me—but it's not a ** annoyance, we're going to get our own things eventually. ”
Brando looked left and right and began to change the subject.
Ulliel glanced at the young lord and asked with some concern, "But what about Count Denel, I don't think he will give up." ”
"That's why I wanted to see you before," Brando replied, "Did Uncle Leto tell you to bring the news, Ulliel?" ”
The phrase 'Uncle Leto' relieved Ulliel, and every sign proved that Brando was a nostalgic person. In fact, for half a month, the young man did not send any henchmen to Minsburg, but let the red bronze dragon Leto preside over the work there, which originally showed that Brando fully trusted them.
Of course, this is a bit of a misunderstanding of Brando, Brando didn't think about this at all, he was so busy in Shavrund that he didn't even think about what would happen to Leto.
The occupation of Mintai was a move to prepare for future wars, and in fact Brando had never thought much more - the nobles of Toniger were so poor that they had barely lost their pants - and Brando did not bother with the idea of attacking these places.
However, he didn't make up his mind, but he let the Bronze Dragon and the others get through the lord's addiction, so that the people who had questioned Brando's decision gradually calmed down - of course, there were still some voices worried about whether they would be retaliated against by Count Jean Denel.
However, for these people, who are mostly outlaws, it doesn't matter if they retaliate or not, it's a big deal to hide in the mountains and forests.
Juliel nodded, "Yes, Lord Lord. ”
Brando's brow furrowed as he tapped his fingers on the table top.
"Your Excellency?" Ulliel was stunned.
"Sooner than I thought, the war came—" replied Brando.
"What?"
"The historical Pallas was an old man, and he could not have been unaware of the news of his comrade's fiasco, which was enough to slow down his plan of action and become cautious—" he replied.
"Sir Pallas in History." Charles repeats it in earnest at the end.
Brando glared at him, and the young wizard hurriedly shrank back, he was used to his lord's strange way of speaking anyway.
"But instead of withdrawing his hands and feet, the knight became more frequent, which only shows that he has received a signal from Count Jean Denel, which is a harbinger of war."
The former security cavalry captain sighed. A harbinger of war? Of course, he knew that Count Jean Denel would definitely take revenge, but he didn't expect the revenge to come so quickly, and he wasn't even mentally prepared.
"Your Excellency?" The little princess of the silver elf whispered from behind.
Brando shook his head, signaling not to worry too much.
"What should I do?" Ulliel was a little worried for a while, the highest nobles he had come into contact with in the past were only the gentry in the local councils of Riedenburg, and the higher ones could only be looked up to.
And Jean Count Denel was no less than Archduke Golan-Elson, a man of this level that Ulliel could not have imagined - in any case they pinched him to death like an ant.
He couldn't help but look at Brando with some amazement, wondering why the young man seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with him—as if he had offended not the Earl of Privilege of the powerful party, but some hillbilly.
"Scared?" Brando asked him.
"That's not the case." Ulliel hurriedly shook his head, of course, this was just lying, how could he not be afraid.
"Not really," Brando shook his head, "we can defeat Sir Mintai, just as we can defeat Count Jean Denel, and the enemy is to be valued, not feared—"
Juliel nodded.
And the elder sister of the wild elves, who had been holding her notepad, thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is there another war?" So how much time do we have to prepare? ”
Brando looked at the sky outside the hall and replied, "One month, two months at the latest." But Sir Pallas won't let us have a good two months, so it's better to be prepared. ”
Métisa and Charles were silent, knowing that the next war would be the greatest test of the nascent territory, and that they would be recognized by the royal party as long as they experienced it.
And as long as it is recognized by the royal party, then the people's hearts in the territory can be stabilized.
Otherwise, no matter how steady they are, they will always be like duckweed without roots. In this ancient kingdom, and even in this era of Vaurd, fame and righteousness are very important things, and the people at the bottom may think of you, but they may not necessarily side with you.
Brando is well aware of this.
But winning this battle with almost no support may not be so simple. He has one or two thousand human soldiers in his hands, and the rest are more than three thousand cavemen, but it is also necessary to consider that it is impossible for Tajib to put the fate of the entire clan in his hands alone, which means that the cavemen can invest one-half of their strength is very face-saving.
What can this little force do?
Brando thought for a moment, and at the moment he had no way of judging how much force Count Denel was prepared to put into quelling the rebellion, but it must not be too little.
Sir Mintai's fate was a warning.
Although one or two defeats are normal enough not to make Count Denel break his bones, but at this special time it may not be, the Grand Duke and the princess are constantly putting pressure on the old fox, so that he is already tired of coping, if there is a fire in the backyard or something, it will really be in a hurry.
At the very least, it is also discredited.
But it's not too much, Brando wants Count Denel to not be able to afford that face, not to mention that the princess and the grand duke of Anlek won't give him this time. He thought about it, but finally thought that the old fox would use external forces.
He thought for a moment, then turned back and asked, "What about Madara?" ”
"Quite really," Charles replied, "they seem to have withdrawn from Tonigal." ”
"Keep an eye out for those skeletons, I suspect they have long been in cahoots with Count Jean Denel," Brando shook his head, Mardala was obviously interested in Funia, so according to Instaron's usual nature, he would definitely not give up lightly, not to mention that if there was an agreement between Denel and them, then he would definitely use this agreement to let those skeletons work together.
He sighed again, saying that the boy of Instarong should still be grateful to him, if he hadn't helped Instarong get rid of this guy Kabais, there must have been more undead who would have qualified him in the army at this time.
Brando knows this history, and naturally knows that the most troublesome thing that Instaron, who is still young at the moment, in the army is the resistance of those dark lords, if it weren't for Tagus's support for him, this young black lord may really be difficult to make a difference in this war.
However, the young man immediately retracted these unrealistic thoughts, and if he could, of course he was willing to be invincible first, and treat the enemy as invincible, but unfortunately the opponent would not give him this opportunity. Brando asks Charles about the men he had sent to spy on the remnants of the Southern Legion in Eruin, but he is disappointed by the answers.
Charles told him that the people he had sent out had either been heard from or had received useless news.
In this way, Brando's plan to support the Southern Army in containing Mardala could only be put on hold for the time being.
