The Amber Sword

Chapter 308: Signs of war

Views:

This is the battlefield more than ten days ago—

There seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder in the air-even in winter, the dead bodies were cleaned up according to Brando's strict requirements. The spreading plague is not a joke, even if it is young people when the weather is cold. Not willing to take this risk.

Therefore, at this moment, apart from the blood stains on the open space, only the occasional armor and weapon fragments scattered among the grass can prove that a fierce battle has taken place here.

And a certain bird with gray-black feathers—a blackbird or a raven—passes the battlefield from low altitude. The north wind is getting worse and worse, and the weather has become drier and colder day by day.

Because of the lack of sacrifices, Brando had to deal with the corpse in a simpler way.

A few black plumes of smoke on the horizon are proof that the smoke and dust passed over the forest, like a scene of apocalypse. When several scouts entered this old battlefield cautiously, each couldn't help but glance at the black plume of smoke in the southern sky.

They squatted down, inspected the battlefield carefully, then stood up again, staring at each other.

They are spies from Pallas, and they have been here day and night since they got the news of Sir Mintai's fiasco-at first they didn't believe that the mob was so capable.

But when they passed by Sir Mintai's original territory, they were surprised to find that the jazz's territory had been occupied by another group of people. Some of them had met those people-it was a mercenary group called the "Amber Sword". They had led a group of refugees across the border a few months ago, saying that they were going to open up wasteland in the wild.

The last news about these people is that they are staying in Port Gris, but God knows how they returned here again.

But the doubts of the scouts are actually very simple to answer, because Brando knew that Sir Mintai would set out to attack the fir collar. In that case, you are welcome to come and I am welcome. In his letter to the druids, he has asked the bronze dragon Reto to take people across the Parton Wilderness immediately, waiting for Sir Mintai to copy his lair as soon as he leaves. .

Poor Sir Mintai never expected a mob to be so bold, so in fact the Lord Sir suffered a big loss from the beginning of the war. Of course he didn't know it personally. When he knew, he had already become Brando's prisoner.

But the scouts didn’t know these details. They just perceived the troops with the special keen instincts of the spies, and then they hurriedly left the territory of Sir Mintai, and went south across the Gris River. It happened not long before they arrived here. The land of the war.

Of course, the battle in their hearts, according to Brando's words, is called a'village-level weapon fight'.

Brando, who has seen the real battle, has never worried about whether he can defeat Sir Mintai. This is why he dared to let the firefighter commander Fern and Clencia take command. s reason.

But Brando also understands that there will probably be a fierce battle next.

And at this moment, one end of this fierce battle is held by these scouts who have sneaked into the territory of young people—

"The rumors are true."

After checking for four weeks, a scout straightened up and said to the other companions: "Sir Mintai has been defeated, and it was a disastrous defeat."

Everyone fell silent.

Although they had expected this result for a long time, the news of Sir Mintai's fiasco has spread on both sides of the Gris River for some time, and it will probably not be long before it will reach Lord Pallas.

But they confirmed the news first, and still couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Everyone's eyes were cast on the veteran who was the most experienced among his group and was also talking. The experienced scout thought for a while and said:

"The most important thing is to send the news back. This is a bit weird. I have been scouts for so long. I have never heard of the mob being so powerful there—" He glanced around: "This is an ambush."

"ambush?"

"I heard that Captain Cagliice was also involved in this war." A scout said. Cagliice in his mouth is the son of Sir Mintai-if you have a good memory, you will remember that this young man used to be Pallas's men worked for a while.

But in fact it is more than that.

Cagliice did not brag, because Pallas had no children himself, he had always regarded this young man as his own, and taught him all his experience in the war. The young man's performance did not disappoint the old knight. He was outstanding in the battle with the mountain people and enjoyed a high reputation under Pallas.

It was the old knight's agreement that he was going to seek refuge in Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin. Although Pallas himself is loyal to Count Jean Dernell, he is actually more inclined to the royal party in his heart. He hopes that his own disciple can embark on the path of assisting Eruin Zhengshuo to rejuvenate.

After the scout had finished speaking, he added with some doubts: "How could Captain Caglisi be ambushed? When he led us, we had never been fooled by those cunning mountain people."

The scouts fell silent, this thing was too weird.

But the veteran waved his hand: "I have a suggestion. We will split up. On the one hand, you bring the letter back to Master Pallas. On the other hand, we continue to move forward and take a look at Fir City to try our luck—"

"This is too risky," said a young scout.

"There is no scout who doesn't take risks." The veteran waved his hand: "I have the highest position here. Follow my order. You all go back. Just leave two people with me."

After hearing this order, the scouts took a look at each. They were not worried about any danger they would encounter. They were all elites under Pallas. But since they went south, the whole thing has a mysterious smell, which makes them retreat for the first time.

The scouts were arguing outside the forest, and Fern and Krencia glanced at each other in the forest. Then they looked back and saw today a young man in a red robe sitting on a rock not far away, with a cave dwelling on the side. Human patriarch Tajib was looking at the Shire with some fear.

The spells of this young wizard completely obscured the breath of several of them, and even the clever scout could not find them. Otherwise, at this distance, Fern was really not sure whether the experienced scouts would notice anything.

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

However, as experienced as the scouts outside, he has only been seen in the most elite brigade.

That is definitely a first-class elite.

But in comparison, what surprised him more was the identity of Charles. He was from Karasu and he had naturally seen those mysterious highland wizards. He was 100% sure that Shire and those people were the same kind of people, and they had the same aura-the smell of high ground and black tower.

He heard that Brando was a Highlander, and at this moment he couldn't help but believe it a little. Can you have a mentor-level wizard as a highland knight

What is that existence

When Fern's mind was a little confused, Kerencia had once again retracted his gaze out of the forest: "You're so brave."

He was talking about the scouts outside.

The scouts had been divided into two groups, all the way to Fir City, all the way to the north back to Pallas. They broke up outside the forest, and their figures quickly disappeared at both ends of the avenue.

"Hey." Charles looked in that direction and raised his brows slightly—he looked very much like Brando, and in the heart of this young wizard, Brando was the most outstanding master—unpredictable. It seems to know everything.

He has been deliberately imitating Brando's every move recently, and there are already some signs of confusion. But he immediately laughed at himself again: "Caglisi? I didn't expect that little guy was so famous among Pallas's scouts. He was arguing every day to fight one of you. Is it two? Does an adult have no idea?"

The expressions of Fern and Krencia immediately became weird.

In the ambush against Sir Mintai that day, it was the young man named Kaglisi that caused them the most trouble. The opponent's ability to judge the battlefield is really not covered, and even Fern, who is a veteran, is very amazed. If they hadn't captured Sir Mintai in the end, it might have really made the young man kill him.

However, it was Charles who deliberately watched the jokes of the three old predecessors, Tiger Sparrow, Fern, and Clencia.

Otherwise, if Charles made the shot himself, Cagliice would have to catch it even if he had wings.

But because of this, the young man has not been convinced until now. Although he, as a soldier, did not say anything naive to start from scratch, he still clamored in the dungeon to fight with Krencia, Tiger Sparrow or It's Fern duel.

However, this kid’s swordsmanship is also superb. Kerencia had the idea to teach the other party a meal, but he did not expect to suffer a dark loss. From then on, Tiger Sparrow, Fern, and Kerencia all walked around the dungeon. , So as not to cause embarrassment.

Charles said to Brando that there was a little guy who needed him to educate, but he was actually talking about this young man.

Seeing the two big team leaders looking weird and silent, the young man smiled and shook his head: "So what are you going to do with this matter?"

He changed the subject and pointed outside.

"What to do?" The silver-haired middle-aged man looked at Shire with questioning eyes.

The three people talked and seemed to ignore the Taguib on the side, which made the caveman patriarch a little dissatisfied-the people who were talking about it had discovered these sneaking scouts and notified these humans as soon as possible.

But Charles obviously did not forget the caveman patriarch who had been unsatisfactory these days. He first nodded to Tajib: "Of course, this matter is first and foremost the credit of Tajib. As for how to do it— Those who go to our site have to be arrested. As for how to deal with it, that's the Lord's business—"

Tajib straightened his chest.

"What about the others?" Fern asked with a frown, listening to Shire's intention to let go of the scouts who were going back to report.

Charles nodded: "Let them go, this is what the lord meant."

What does that young man mean

Fern and Clencia glanced at each other. What did the young nobleman want to do? Putting those scouts back is completely possible to arouse Pallas's alertness, so no one can say what will happen next.

But Charles did not answer this question, he just raised his head and looked at the sky-thinking to himself, it seems that this time his lord is going to play a big game.
