Act 344: Beneath the Abyss II

In the sky, the Eruin Royal First Fleet bit the Cruz ship regiment to the death, and the Ptolemy-class first-class battleships purchased from the Wind Elves were far more mobile than the Perrin class that the Conolia fleet had entered service twenty years ago, but the Cruz people had a stronger will to fight and personnel, and although it was only a local fleet, it also showed the spirit of the empire.

The two sides opened fire on each other in the sky, and from time to time warships turned into fireballs and tumbled down; But it wasn't until Brando's Wind Spirit Pseudo-Dragon joined the battle that the Cruz people, who had been attacked from the back, finally showed their decline, and the Perran-class 'Yasha' battleship was the first to withdraw from the battle. The Wind Fairy Pseudo-Dragon launched a suicidal attack on its magical shield, then depleted the Tier 1 battleship's power source with a burning mana, and the powerless Yasha plunged headlong into the Northern Alliance, inflicting massive casualties.

Soon after, a cannonball from the Eruin frigate 'Koling' pierced through a magical shield and struck the stern of another flagship, the Perran, killing the captain and first mate instantly. The Cruz fleet fell apart and had to begin to flee in all directions.

As soon as the fleet retreated, the northern coalition forces on the ground also began to flee for their lives, like ants all over the mountains, and the mournful sound of trombones pierced through the rain curtain.

And the other side

Under Brando's watchful eye, the seven Templars laid down their weapons in turn and died, leaving no chance of victory on the battlefield, and there was no point in resisting.

Soon the whole battlefield fell silent, except for the sound of rain and the wails of the wounded.

Brando finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained. A butt sits on the rock behind him.

Nimesis is ordering the survivors to build rudimentary huts so that the wounded can be moved in.

Most of the wounded were soldiers of the Northern Alliance, and a few were Cruz because of the Holy Book of Life. There are almost no wounded who really belong to the princess's side.

Princess Griffiin quickly found him.

"Mr. Brando, shall we continue the pursuit of the Cruz fleet?" The half-elf princess asked with some hesitation. The Cruz had twelve main fleets, and Conolia was just a local fleet, similar to Ampesel's navy, and it seemed to her that it was unnecessary to continue the pursuit, but would rather anger the Cruz.

"We must continue the pursuit, Your Highness the Princess, it is a new trouble for them to reunite with the Northern Alliance" Brando knew very well why Her Royal Highness the Princess hesitated. He immediately explained: "It is better to order Count Yanirasu to drive them all the way through Ampesel and completely annihilate this fleet." ā€

His words nakedly revealed his intention to take advantage of the situation to occupy Ampesel, and even Princess Griffiin was taken aback. In fact, she didn't discuss this issue with Overwell and Outin, and now the Northern Coalition is newly defeated. The Harbor Guards of Ampesel suffered another heavy blow, and it was only reasonable that they would take advantage of the opportunity to capture Ampesel with a victory.

And sitting on Ampesel, a fortress connecting the north and the south, and then launching an attack on the north, is in a position of no worries in the war between the two. But the only problem is the attitude of the Cruzians.

The total annihilation of a fleet of Cruz and the defeat of their fleet are two concepts, if the Cruz Empire is completely introduced into this war for the sake of Ampesel. It's a bit more than worth the loss.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stare at Brando with beautiful silver eyes, as if she wanted to see through the thoughts in this man's heart, as if he had never taken the Cruz Empire seriously, and he didn't even think about destroying the Conolia fleet in one go. It's a bit too bold; Even the lone wolf of the kingdom and her teacher are inevitably cautious when talking about the Cruz people, after all, they live in the shadow of the lion. Too much publicity will lead to catastrophe.

Brando, of course, was aware of the princess's concerns, but he found them a little amused: "Your Highness, Princess. Rest assured, the Cruz people don't dare to trouble us because of this. ā€

"Why?" Princess Griffiin frowned, feeling that this was a little too blindly optimistic.

"Because of the wind elves."

I see, but she shook her head, "Mr. Brando, the wind elves have not supported us as much as they thought. If the Cruz are only giving us a punishment by the hand of the North, and do not really intend to capture Eruin, I am afraid that the Quiet Court of St. Osor will not be able to make any moves. ā€

"That's because they don't get the benefits they deserve," Brando replied, shaking his head and sighing, "After all, Eruin is a country under the jurisdiction of the Flame Temple, and this civil strife is also an internal affair under the jurisdiction of the Flame Temple. ā€

"Exactly." Her Royal Highness nodded.

"In that case, we should announce that the newborn Eruin has joined the Wind Queen Temple." Brando replied as a matter of course.

"This ...... But ......" Princess Griffiin froze at once, and the look in her eyes was as if Brando was a monster, and she could not know how he could have such an idea. After all, the Eruin people are the descendants of the King of Fire, and they are also the kingdom of mankind, and psychologically all the Eruin people also prefer to belong to the Temple of Fire rather than the Temple of the Queen of the Wind, so the nobles have not thought of relying on the Temple of the Queen of the Wind, but they only want to rely on the Temple of the Queen of the Wind to contain the strength of the Temple of the Flame at most.

It's like bargaining, but in the end, you have to throw yourself into the arms of the Flame Temple.

However, no one would have thought that Brando was a freak, and as half of the time-traveler, he didn't have any sense of belonging to the so-called Four Temples at all. In his previous life, he had lived under the jurisdiction of the Sanctuary of Fire, the Sanctuary of the Queen of the Winds, and the Sanctuary of Light, and from the player's point of view, he preferred Faenzan's Sanctuary of Light until they stabbed him in the back in the game.

And in this life, Otales of the Wind Queen Temple has been accompanying him on adventures and growing up, speaking of which, compared to his deeper feelings, I am afraid that it is the Wind Queen Temple.

Brando quietly looked at the princess with a hesitant look on her face.

Princess Griffiin's eyes quickly cleared, and she raised her head and gave Brando a serious look: "I admit that this is a choice. But we'll only think about it at the last minute, can we, Mr. Brando? ā€

Brando nodded, he knew it wasn't just Her Royal Highness. The aristocracy of Eruin would have a hard time accepting this mention for a while. Change takes time, and it takes an opportunity, and he probably understands that Her Royal Highness wants to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Cruz people one last time.

She has a good chance of succeeding.

Eruin's geographical location is too important, it is bounded to the south by the endless wilderness and the Black Forest, and it is also the pass that monitors the direction of Madala. For the Empire, Eruin is both a source of resources and a natural buffer zone, and it is not for nothing that the Cruz people attach great importance to Eruin.

But the same is true for the Wind Elves, otherwise they wouldn't have supported the Ec Nation hundreds of years ago. He also secretly supported Obergu VII in building a new fleet and helped the Eruin train naval talents. Although the Ptolemy-class battleship is not the main ship of the Wind Elves in active service, it is also a first-class battleship more than ten years ago, and technically speaking, it is a first-class battleship.

The Cruz people are well aware of this weight. If the princess's side announces that she will join the Wind Queen Temple, then it is likely to trigger a holy war between the Fire Temple and the Wind Queen Temple in advance.

However, Her Royal Highness may have been worried about a misunderstanding between the two, and added: "Believe me, Mr. Brando, I am not trying to go my own way. Rather, the people of the kingdom themselves are descendants of the Lord of Fire. Generations of belief in the Temple of Flame, such a concept wants to change is not a matter of a moment. ā€

"Your Royal Highness, you don't need to explain." Brando was a little moved, but the other party didn't have to explain it to him at all. After all, she is Her Royal Highness. Theoretically, he was her knight, her courtier, of course. Brando himself may not have this concept, in his opinion, all men are created equal, but he understands that Her Royal Highness, who has been in the royal family since childhood, would never think so. She was willing to confide her thoughts to him so carefully, saying that at least it proved that she valued herself enough.

People are born to need each other, and Brando enjoys that satisfaction.

"But the Conolian fleet must be completely destroyed, and we must occupy Ampesel so that we can have the confidence to negotiate." Brando still reminded that in fact, he was a little bottomless in his heart, and the complete destruction of the Conolia fleet was still a trivial matter, and it was the real big thing that he killed Williams in front of everyone. After all, the fleet is Empire's, and the Knights Templar's deputy head is the Flame Sanctuary.

To put it simply, the Empire can be disgraced, but the Sanctuary of Fire must maintain its majesty, and the other party will most likely ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to hand him over.

He couldn't help but glance at Her Royal Highness, who was only sixteen years old and was about to turn seventeen.

Princess Griffiin nodded firmly: "I understand, I immediately ordered Count Yanirasu to continue the pursuit, annihilate the Conolia fleet, and capture the port of Ampesel in one go." Mr. Brando, I will fight for the best interests, whether it is Eruin or his people, I will seriously consider building yƬ."

"I will never let the tragedy of Lord Daurus repeat itself."

Brando knew that this was a promise, and he bowed to the princess seriously. Her Royal Highness turned to leave, and then he heard Ottales say lightly in his heart: "This princess is really a good skill, presumably the little one has been moved to a mess." ā€

"That's not it, it's just a little warmth." Brando replied.

"So it's really a little fool, the strength she showed in the previous battle is enough to prove that she is the only person she can rely on first, and it is also the biggest help, and she knows in her heart that it is not power, but she doesn't think so. The importance she attaches to is just a means for the royal family to win people's hearts. Otales said to him earnestly.

Brando chuckled, but he was very moved, he knew that Otales was reminding himself that he was afraid that he would suffer. "Thank you, Lord Ortales."

"Hmph, it's good to know." "I've seen a lot of court struggles, and I admit that the little girl is still quite good-hearted, but whether it will change in the future, no one can say," said Otales. You have to keep an eye on it. ā€

"It's natural." Brando felt more and more that Otares was really like his sister, and only his relatives would teach him so kindly.

From time to time, there were flashes of exploding fire from the sky, which were the artillery fire pursued by the Eruin Royal First Fleet.

The battle is over.

Brando is gradually breaking down the cycle of adversity paradise. It's a powerful cycle for him, but it's exhausting to keep cutting cards in the cycle. It had only been a short time since he felt exhausted, whether it was Tumen or Trisiman, or Odin, the dark dragon. In addition to the ability of the traveling mage, his own strength was also the top at that time, and maintaining this kind of energy consumption was as simple as breathing for them, but it was a bit reluctant for him, after all, he was only the strength of the golden peak element manifestation.

However, he still kept an eye on it, and did not let the vampire pseudo-mother Mordface relieve her strength, she has now reached the level of the peak and stability of the law, and as soon as Williams dies in the field, she is basically the strongest combat power on this battlefield.

Then the Nightmare Furnace construct did not disband, leaving behind more than seventy metal beetles. Brando is left with an anxiety card in his hand. Used to replicate the real Lightning Storm, this is also one of his killer moves.

With these two killer moves, Brando was relieved to put away the Life Sacred Book and the Trojan Horse, and then disbanded the Defeated Guard. After all, summoning undead creatures is a negative reputation in human society. Brando didn't want to put prefixes like 'undead' and 'dark' on his title in the future, which would be too bad for his reputation.

To be honest, if this battle wasn't too important, he didn't even plan to use this card.

He looked up at the explosion beyond the rain curtain and quickly thought of something else. Hurriedly asked Flo to summon her, and then explained some things to the wild elf lady.

Flo immediately had a disgruntled look on her face.

This time she firmly refused. "I refuse, it's too much, my lord."

"Why? Isn't it just to open the corpse? Brando didn't understand, he didn't understand why Flo reacted so much every time.

"Anyway, I refuse!" Flo glared at him fiercely. Then turn around and go. She preferred the lord to see her as an elemental envoy rather than a coroner.

Brando stood there awkwardly. finally found a red-handed soft girl in the group, but she didn't like to open the corpse. This made him very helpless. He sighed and turned back to find some other way to convince the eldest lady, but suddenly his eyes widened.

"Don't!" He almost screamed, but it was too late for Nimesis to move several Templar corpses aside, and the horrible black hands dragged Williams' corpse up as well.

At that moment, Brando's heart suddenly had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

"What's wrong?" The female knight was slightly startled when she heard his abrupt scream, and turned to look at him.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ What loot did those knights have? ā€

"Oh, I checked. When the magic power dissipates so much, there are only a few flame pattern swords of the temple left," Nimei Sisi replied without changing her face, "But these swords are not bad, and our kingdom does not have this forging technology. ā€

Brando's eyes went dark.

In fact, the moment she touched the corpse, Brando had a bad premonition, because this woman looked too much like a senior sister, which made him have an instinctive sense of crisis, and felt that the black hands of the two might also be withdrawn.

Still, he had a glimmer of luck, but Nimesis's answer immediately shattered his last hope. The corpse of a dignified Templar, she could only wield a standard long sword, which is no longer something that can be described by a black hand. At that moment, Brando only felt that the senior sister's face was not as black as her.

"Wei ...... What about Williams? ā€

"I haven't seen it yet," Nimesis didn't know that the man in front of her probably even had the heart to push her down, so she replied seriously, "I'll take a look." ā€

"Don't!" Brando seemed to have been hit in the face, but before he could shout, he saw Nimesis remove a ring from Williams' hand.

Brando froze immediately.

It was a silver ring with a very special pattern on it.

"The ring doesn't seem to have broken its magic yet." The knight examined it and replied earnestly.

"Brando!" Ottales suddenly shouted.

Brando immediately nodded: "I understand. ā€

Both of them had already seen the pattern on the ring at this moment, and the pattern was divided into nine branches, each of which was so familiar to him. Because that's the St. Osor's Queen's Sacred Pattern.

The second Ring of the Queen.

Brando's moment finally understood why Williams recognized his swordsmanship when he met. "Show me!" He immediately walked over to Nimesis and said.

The female knight, who resembled Senpai-sama, glanced at him, nodded, and then placed the ring on his palm without hesitation.

"How to use it." Brando asked.

"Infuse the power of the law into it." Otares also looked a little excited, after all, there was a heroic soul in every ring, and those were her early companions.

Brando did as he was told.

Suddenly, a white light flickered between him and Nimesis. Then, the next moment, a translucent, somewhat ghost-like elven girl appeared between them.

The girl was short, and looked only slightly taller than Princess Griffyne.

She had very white skin, with the same sparkling color that wind elves shared. With pointed ears and long purple-blue hair tied in a jumping ponytail behind her head, she wears a suit of tight-fitting leather armor, but most notably, she carries an elven longbow that is almost as tall as her own.

She seemed to have just woken up, and as soon as she appeared, she yawned a little sleepily.

"Who is it?" Nimesis was slightly stunned, and one hand immediately pressed the hilt of the sword. However, she probably guessed that the elven girl's origin had something to do with the ring on Brando's hand, so she didn't pull out the sword.

But at that moment, Brando heard Otares whisper in his heart.

Then the female knight appeared directly beside him and appeared on his other side.

"Ahh

Now it was the turn of the elven girl who was about to appear, with the longbow on her back, her eyes widened, and she glared at Ottales incredulously as if she hadn't seen Nimesis.

"Big ......"

Otares glared at her fiercely.

The elf girl was immediately startled and shouted, "Big, Miss! ā€

"Miss...... miss?"

Brando was stunned, could it be that there is a master-servant relationship between Queen Feng's subordinates, I haven't heard of it. He didn't see Ottales' eyes, just looked at the two men strangely.

Otares smiled with satisfaction at the elven girl.

Brando looked at the elf girl inexplicably: "Okay, I'm Brando." What is the name of this beautiful young lady? ā€

The elven girl looked at Brando and Otales, and guessed about their relationship. So he immediately replied loudly and solemnly, without thinking about it, "Yes, Mr. Brando, I am the Blade Knight Otales, the chief archer under the Lord of the Wind!" Please advise! Ouch, it hurts......"

There was a loud bang, and she suddenly hugged her little head. wW
