Act 162 Brigade Mage's War (First Update, Ask for Subscription)

Six dark, cold, rocky bridges rose from beneath the Charr's staff and crashed into the walls of the inner city, and after a moment of shaking, Grudin's knights staggered up from behind the parapets, and found to their horror that there was no more way between them and their opponents—no more obstacles.

The battlefield was silent for a while, as if a silent angel flew over the heads of everyone present, making them silent.

But the young wizard withdrew his staff, stood back, and then looked up and smiled at the dusty knights on the walls.

At that moment, the dull sound of horses' hooves sounded from behind him—

The cavalry among the mercenaries had galloped out from behind the Charles, and in an instant they had overrun the young wizard, and they had rushed to the rocky bridge. The cavalry moved forward, and so did the sword in the young lord's hand behind him—the tip of the sword in Brando's hand reflected the cold light of the stars, motionless—as if in response to the same order:

Attack, destroy the enemy

The ground rumbled, and the noble knights finally changed their faces. A large number of mercenaries poured onto the walls, but Brando's summons were faster than them. The young man had folded his cards to reset the two Holy Archangels who had been injured in the battle with Kabez and White, and while he fished out Metisa's cards from the graveyard, he ordered the Holy Archangel to attack - the angel of light flapped his wings and flew over everyone's heads from above, and flew to the city wall in an instant, and the sword in his hand flashed, and the head was already rolling to the ground. Although the strength of the silver upper rank was not worth mentioning in front of Kabis and Bai, it was an impassable mountain in front of these noble knights, and with its foothold as the center, the knights retreated one after another, and their only choice seemed to be to flee in panic, and a large number of knights had to turn around and rush down the tower.

Soon, a gap was opened in the city walls.

Seeing this scene, Bai snorted coldly. Without saying a word, he dragged Grudin towards the castle, for him, it was none of his business whether these humans were dead or alive, as long as he made sure that Gruddin in his hand was intact. Of course, the same situation fell in the eyes of Brando, who was always paying attention to this side, and he smiled: This guy still doesn't understand human nature

The young man lowered his head and whispered something to Akane beside him. The girl was slightly stunned, glanced at him, and then walked away in disbelief. Not long after she left, shouts rang out on the battlefield:

"The Baron has fled"

"The Baron has fled"

When the shouts sounded, the few noble soldiers who were still resisting in the city were slightly startled. They couldn't help but look back for Grudin's traces, but the result was predictable, and the battle line finally shook at this moment. It was like the straw that broke the camel's back, and when they found out that they had lost their lord, the knights of Grudin's whole line collapsed, or rather, they only put up a little resistance, and then gave up completely.

As the situation became clear, the mercenaries poured into the castle like a torrent, and they lowered the drawbridge - and Brando then led the men into the castle, because for him: there was still a final battle.

……

The castle is dark and obscure, and the corridors seem to flow endlessly down in a spiral shape. However, Grudin's thought that he was the only one who knew the secret passage of the fir castle, but alas, it was nothing to Brando. This was the innate advantage of his soul on the other side, just like when the baron and the undead general of Mardala entered the hall where the secret passage was located, the young man followed as well.

Both entered the hall at the same time.

At the same time, the two men stopped at the sight of each other—Brando, Akane and Charles at one end, Gruding and White at the other—and the Baron had clearly not expected such a thing to happen. He was stunned for a moment at that moment, almost thinking that he had been betrayed by someone. For a moment, the two sides were separated by a long table, and they were motionless to each other.

The hall was still the same hall, and it was as if the scene was exactly the same as the day before, and now it was so strikingly similar, even the atmosphere was so strikingly similar.

Under the eerie silence, the air flow in the hall even tended to stop.

However, Brando looked up, and he glanced at the beautiful red crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and couldn't help but think that history is a striking resemblance. It's just that the day before he had chosen to compromise here, but now he's coming to recover what he's lost. Then he lowered his head and looked at Grudin's and the undead knight who stood in his way.

Shiroya looked at them quietly, not seeming surprised.

The Undead Knight raised his right hand and stopped Gruddin behind him with a huge scythe, and replied, "Human, you are much better than I thought; I'm surprised that Eruin still has a low-class nobleman like you—"

The sound was hollow like a layer of rusty metal.

Brando shook his head.

"Well, don't waste your time, Tiamas," he interrupted the fellow, "you know, I'm here to take someone's life. I know I can't keep you, but don't think you can take this Baron of Eruin. ”

He deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the last few words.

There was an urn sound from under the metal mask, and the urn sneered: "I don't know who you are, let's just think you're the viscount." But Mr. Viscount, I remember that in your human world, the rules between nobles are not like this. ”

"Behind me is none other than the lord of the land, a noble gentleman of barons, whose noble lineage can be traced back even to the last dynasty among you. But today, Lord Viscount, you are going to take action against one of the members of this glorious family, and set a precedent for a bloody massacre between nobles and nobles? ”

"Of course I can put down my hand," Bai shrugged, "But if I put down my hand, do you dare to kill him?" ”

Grudin's face was gloomy as he stood behind the undead general.

"The honor of the kingdom will not fall on the heads of traitors."

"But it's not your game rules to die and break the net."

Brando smiled slightly: "If just one Count Denel is enough to make me die, then what am I doing here?" ”

Bai was slightly stunned.

"What a big breath." Baron Grudin, who finally had a chance to interject, grinded it out almost from between his teeth: "A mere Count Jean Denel, I don't know where your confidence comes from, Viscount Gunstin." ”

"Did I ask you to speak?" Brando looked at him.

The young man's cold gaze pierced Grudin's heart like a knife, his pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately closed his mouth.

The undead general of Madara clapped, "Good spirit," a metallic interlaced voice came from under the mask. "The people of Kolonia(*) have said that a wise man learns to strike a balance between thinking and doing. Mr. Viscount, and especially I think that as a decent nobleman, Baron Grudinin has been given the lesson he deserves. I don't think it's better to stop here, everyone has room to maneuver. ”

(*Residents of the area between Grace and St. Osor, the Knights of the Church, and the majority ethnic group of Grace)

"The people of Lonia have also said, blood for blood, tooth for tooth." Charles added with a smile behind Brando.

"It's okay, after all, it's not your blood."

"It is true, but the decency of the nobility is not innate." Brando replied coldly.

White is silent.

But the young man also frowned, because he had the impression that the black knight of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had never been a person who talked nonsense. On the contrary, he and Alberton the White Knight are notoriously taciturn, decisive and pragmatic rather than bombastic. But now the side of Shiro's appearance is exactly the opposite of what he knows, and Brando definitely doesn't think it's because Shiro's personality has changed much at the moment and since.

Then there is only one reason left.

Is Grudinin so important? It's just that he doesn't know what kind of agreement has been reached between Madara and the Jeandenel family, but what makes him more suspicious is the purpose of the other party to delay time here.

But the best way to break through the trap of the unknown is to not let the other person get their way.

Brando simply didn't say a word, he stretched out his right hand, pressed his white glove on the sword, and with a slight press, the man had taken a step forward. As soon as he moved, his cold aura crossed half of the hall in an instant.

White Streak didn't move, but Grudin, who was behind him, took three steps back in a row, and almost fell to the ground. The baron of the kingdom finally stood firm with a flushed face, and he looked at Brando through gritted teeth, but his heart was full of disbelief. Although he himself is only a swordsman with the strength of black iron, he can still feel the true strength that Brando burst out of before - he has become stronger again

Grudin's couldn't believe that a person could become so much stronger in one day and one night, of course he couldn't guess that it was a sensory illusion brought about by the twenty-two elemental envoys, the only possibility he could think of was that the other party must have been hiding his strength before.

He immediately told Shiro about this discovery, and the black knight nodded, and then looked at Brando with a playful look—

It is impossible to go wrong with the Kabaiz report.

But Grudin's shouldn't lie to him now, not to mention that he himself had just experienced it. So who should he believe?

However, this undead general of Madara was unmoved on the surface, and only asked, "Mr. Viscount, don't you think twice?" ”

"Tiamas doesn't do you any good meddling in human affairs," Brando shook his head with his sword, "You understand that you can't leave with Grudin. In that case, why bother to have a pointless fight with me, get out of the way, I know it's not your habit-"

Bai shook his head.

He watched Brando approach step by step, slightly pressed the baron's back with a giant scythe to keep a distance, and then spoke: "For Mr. Viscount, this battle is really not necessary. But to me it was different, although Madara had never had a tradition of allied with the living—but there was a first time for everything, and it was not a good name for us to abandon our allies the first time. ”

He smiled under the mask: "Besides, you are right about one thing. Surrounded by strong enemies, it is a little difficult for me to protect the Baron—"

"Mr. Tiamas" Grudin, startled, turned white and hurriedly asked.
