Signs of War in Act 86 (Fourth Update, Stay Tuned)

This is the battlefield more than ten days ago.

There seemed to be a faint smell of gunsmoke in the air - even though it was winter, the dead bodies had been cleaned up according to Brando's strict requirements, and the spread of the plague was no joke, and young people were not willing to take the risk even on a cold day.

Therefore, at this moment, in addition to the blood stains on the open space, only the occasional scattered fragments of armor and weapons between the grass can prove that a fierce battle has taken place here.

And some kind of bird with gray-black feathers, a blackbird or a raven, swept over the battlefield from a low altitude. The north wind is getting worse and worse, and the weather is getting drier and colder day by day.

Due to the lack of sacrifices, Brando had to dispose of the corpses in a simpler way.

A few pillars of black smoke on the horizon are proof of this, and the smoke and dust pass over the forest like an apocalyptic scene. As several scouts cautiously entered this old battlefield, they couldn't help but glance in horror at the black pillars of smoke in the southern sky.

They crouched down, scrutinized the battlefield, and then stood up again, looking at each other.

They were spies from Pallas, who had been here day and night since they had received news of Sir Minthai's fiasco, and at first they did not believe that the mob was so powerful.

However, when they passed through Sir Mintai's original territory, they were surprised to find that the lord's territory had been taken over by another group. Some of them had seen them before - it was a mercenary group called the Amber Sword, who had led a group of refugees across the border a few months earlier, saying that they were going to pioneer in the wilderness.

The last word came about these people was that they stayed in Port Gris, but God knows how they came back here.

But the scouts' doubts are very easy to answer, because Brando knows that Sir Mintai will attack Fir Collar. In that case, you are not welcome to come and go, as he had already asked the bronze dragon Leto to lead him over the Parton Wilderness at once, and to raid his lair as soon as Sir Mintai left.

Poor Sir Mintai had never expected a mob to be so bold, so in fact the Lord suffered a great loss from the very beginning of the war. Of course, he didn't know about it, and by the time he did, he would have become Brando's prisoner.

But the scouts were unaware of these details, and they only detected the troops with the keen instinct of a spy, and then they hurried out of Sir Mintai's territory and crossed the Griese River by starry night, and came to the land where a great battle had taken place not long ago.

Of course, the big battle in their hearts is, according to Brando's words, 'village-level fighting'.

Brando, who has seen real battles, has never been worried about whether he can defeat Sir Mintai, to be honest, which is why he dares to let the Grand Master of the Fire Band, Fern and Clensia, take command.

However, Brando also understands that there may be a fierce battle next.

And at this moment, one end of the fierce battle lead is held on the bodies of these scouts who have infiltrated the territory of young people-

"The rumors are true."

One of the scouts, after examining the four weeks, straightened up and said to the other companions, "Sir Mintai has been defeated, and it is a fiasco. ”

Everyone fell silent.

Although they had expected this outcome, the news of Sir Mintai's disastrous defeat had been spreading on both sides of the Gris River for some time now, and it would not be long before it reached Lord Pallas.

But they confirmed the news first, and they still couldn't help but feel furious in their hearts.

Everyone's eyes were on the most experienced and talkative veteran in their group, and the experienced scout thought for a moment and said:

"The most important thing is to send the news back, this thing is a little weird, I've been a scout for so long, and I've never heard of such a mob there-" He glanced around, "It's an ambush." ”

"Ambush?"

"I've heard that Captain Kargliss also fought in this war." One of the scouts said that Calglis, he was the son of Sir Minté - if you had a good memory, you would remember that the young man had worked under Pallas for a time.

But it's not all.

Kargliss did not boast about it, for Pallas had no children of his own, and he had always regarded the young man as his own, imparting to him all his experience in the war. And the young man's cousin did not disappoint the old knight, who distinguished himself in battles with the mountain people and enjoyed a great reputation under Pallas.

Even if he wanted to go to Her Royal Highness Princess Griffyin, it was also with the old knight's consent. Pallas himself, though loyal to Count Jean Denel, was more inclined towards the royal party at heart, and he hoped that his own disciple would follow the path of assisting Eruin in Masashi on the path to revival.

After the scout finished speaking, he added with some confusion: "How could Captain Calglis be ambushed, when he led us, we did not once fall for those cunning mountain people. ”

The scouts fell silent, it was too weird.

But the veteran waved his hand: "I have a Jianyì, and our soldiers are divided into two ways, on the one hand, you bring the letter back to Lord Pallas." On the one hand, let's move on, take a look at Fir City, and try our luck—"

"It's too risky." A young scout said.

"There are no scouts who don't take risks." The veteran waved his hand: "I have the highest position here, listen to my orders, you all go back, and leave two people with me." ”

The scouts listened to this order and looked at each other, they were not worried about what danger they would encounter, they were all the elite of Pallas's men. But since they went south, the whole thing smelled of mystery, and for the first time, they felt like they were holding back.

……

The scouts were arguing outside the forest, and inside the forest, Fern and Clenthia glanced at each other, and then they looked back to see the young man in the red robe sitting on a rock not far away, while the troglodyte patriarch Tajib was looking at the Charles with some fear.

The young wizard's spells completely obscured the aura of several of them, and even the most sophisticated scouts could not detect them. Otherwise, at this distance, Fern was not sure that the experienced scouts would notice anything.

When he was in the Karasu Cavalry Regiment, he had seen many scouts in the army, and even sometimes he himself served as a spy once or twice as a cavalryman.

However, as experienced as the scouts outside, he had only seen them in the most elite brigades.

That's definitely a first-class elite.

However, what surprised him more was the identity of Charles, who was from Karasu and had naturally seen those mysterious highland wizards. He was 100% sure that Charles and those men were the same kind of people, and they had the same smell about them—the smell of the Highlands and the Black Tower.

He had heard that Brando was a Highland Knight, and at this moment he couldn't help but believe it a little. Can you have a Mentor-level wizard as a servant Highland Knight?

What is that deposit?

While Fern's mind was a little confused, Clenthia had once again withdrawn his gaze from the woods: "It's bold enough. ”

He's talking about the scouts outside.

The scouts had split up in two groups, one to Fir City, and the other to return north to Pallas. They parted outside the woods, and their figures quickly disappeared at both ends of the avenue.

"Hey," Charles looked in that direction, his eyebrows raised slightly—he looked like Brando, and in the young wizard's mind, Brando was arguably the best master—as if he knew everything.

He's been deliberately imitating Brando's every move lately, and he's already showing some signs of going mad. But then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Karglis? I didn't expect that little guy to be so famous among Pallas's scouts, and he clamored every day to fight one of you in a duel, didn't the two adults have any ideas? ”

Fern and Clensia's faces immediately turned strange.

In the ambush against Sir Mintai that day, the one who caused them the most annoyance was the young man named Karglis. The other party's ability to judge the battlefield is really not covered, even the veteran Fern is extremely admired, if they hadn't captured Sir Mintai alive in the end, maybe the young man would have been killed a bloody way.

However, it was also a joke that Charles was interested in watching the three old-timers of Tiger Sparrow, Fern and Clensia, who said that it was okay with the package ticket, but in the end it was a leak.

Otherwise, if Charles had taken action himself, Calglis would have to be captured obediently even if he had wings.

But because of this, the young man was still unconvinced, and although he did not say anything childish as a soldier, he still cried out in the dungeon for a duel with Clensia, the Tiger Sparrow, or Fern.

But this kid's swordsmanship is also superb, Clensia originally had the idea of teaching the other party a lesson, but he didn't expect to suffer a secret loss, and from then on, Tiger Sparrow, Fern, and Clenthia walked around near the dungeon, so as not to cause embarrassment.

Charles told Brando that there was a little guy who needed him to educate him, but in fact he was talking about the young man.

Seeing that the two Grand Master had strange expressions and were silent, the young man smiled slightly and shook his head: "So what are you going to do with this matter?" ”

He shifted the subject and pointed outside.

"How?" The silver-haired middle-aged man looked at Charles with an inquiring gaze.

The three of them seemed to ignore Tajib on the side, much to the displeasure of the troglodyte patriarch - it was still his people who discovered the infiltrating scouts and notified the humans as soon as they could.

However, Charles obviously did not forget about this troglodyte patriarch who had not been doing well these days, and he nodded to Tajib first: "Of course, this matter is first and foremost the credit of Tajib, as for what to do-those who go to our territory, we have to arrest them, as for how to deal with it, it is a matter for the lord-"

Tajib listened and straightened his chest.

"What about the others?" Fern frowned and asked, listening to Charles's intention to let go of the scouts who had returned to report the news.

Charles nodded: "Let them go, that's what the lord meant." ”

What does that young man mean?

Fern and Clenthia glanced at each other, what was the young nobleman trying to do? Putting those scouts back is entirely likely to alert Pallas, and what will happen next, no one can say.

But Charles didn't answer the question, he just looked up at the sky - thinking to himself, it seems that this time his lord is going to play a big game.

……
