The Amber Sword

Chapter 491: A war without gunpowder (middle)

Views:

Amperisel is covered with treacherous clouds, and Tonigel in the far south is also filled with an atmosphere of preparation for war.

After returning to the territory, Brando immediately called an emergency meeting. The meeting place was chosen in a forest not far from New Valhalla—the tree elves planted a square surrounded by ten old banyan trees there. Brando liked that place quite a bit, so it was temporarily used as a gathering. Location—Because of the prior notice, almost all the core members of him were present, including those who had been following him since Ridenberg.

Ulliel, Voltaron, Manor, Reto, Battom, most of them were members of the earlier Red Bronze Dragon Mercenary Corps. Although Ulliel was the captain of the Ridenberg Security Cavalry, he also started from Ridenberg. Joined this collective. Only Voltaron was a little special. He was originally the Sergeant Chief of the Whitemane Infantry Regiment. For various reasons, he came with this group of people—rebellion in the eyes of the world.

Brando stood under an ancient banyan tree, looking at these people, could not help feeling a while.

Among the members of the Red Bronze Dragon Mercenary Corps, several familiar faces are no longer visible. Several old people died of illness during the long-distance migration, and a large part of the rest died in the second Tonigel. In war. However, the will of the dead seemed to continue in the living, and the remaining people became stronger and resolute.

This change is obvious—

Ulliel used to be the running dog of Ridenberg's bullying nobles, and when he first appeared in front of Brando, he was an out-and-out little white face. But now because of long-term activities outside, the skin is tanned, and the face and arms are more war-scarred. Although the whole person looks a lot rougher, it also appears more mature and stable; migrating from Ridenburg together Among the refugees — there are not many people in this group, because not everyone is willing to leave their homes — most of the people who knew this security cavalry captain hate and fear him, but now they must take the initiative to stop and call him on the road There was more and more of Captain Ulliel's voice.

But what is more important is strength. In just one year, I have grown from an influential character on the edge of the dark iron to the upper position of the dark iron. It is not limited to Ulliel; the people who came out from Ridenberg together. Most of them are like this, Voltaron, Gambler Mano, Redbeard Battom and Reto are similar. Within a few months, the strength has faintly broken through the peak of Black Iron and entered the Silver Step.

The changes in the sea of magic are changing the entire world, but only those who have experienced the test of life and death can experience this change most clearly.

Brando's gaze crossed the group of people in Ridenberg, and fell on another group of people-the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group. These people who were abandoned by Macaro and taken in by him have not been in the group for a long time, but many of them have also improved in strength to varying degrees, including Sandford. After the dragon blood potion is distributed, their strength has also been improved. Promoted to the level of the upper rank of black iron.

In fact, with regard to the distribution order of the dragon blood potions, Antitina actually advocated that the old people of Ridenberg have priority, and other people will observe the situation according to the situation. However, Brando felt that it was unnecessary. Those who followed him through the two wars can be regarded as loyal and reliable. It takes courage to fight against the nobles in this era. The soldiers are driven to a dead end, and they will not come to this point with him.

Although the output of Dragon Blood Potion is not much now, the distribution of credit and contribution is obviously more convincing than seniority. Moreover, most of the first people who followed him are also those who have incomparable loyalty and contribution to this collective. . Brando persuaded Antitina with this, and won the hearts of the people-although according to actual proportions, the red bronze dragon mercenary group still received the most dragon blood potions, at least other people can see that everyone Everyone in this group enjoys equal opportunities. Even the latecomers have the same chance to surpass the predecessors in this group.

As long as efforts can be rewarded accordingly, people will be full of energy. Brando's move is to maintain the vitality of this group. He has been the head of the Amber Sword for a period of time, and has a certain understanding of the modern organizational system. Compared with the nobles of this era, he has a lot of vision.

From the eyes of the noble lady from Braggs, the lord's suggestion exerted an amazing effect that she hadn't foreseen at all. People's hearts are more stable and cohesive. This is an expected change, but she vaguely feels that there is something more in the group—just like the soul. Everyone becomes more motivated, and the newcomers are working hard. , The old people also feel the crisis, even she herself is infected by this atmosphere, and she becomes more energetic when she works during the day.

This change is subtle and has formed a virtuous circle within the entire fir-tree collar group. Antitina, who has learned some emperor art from the ancient inheritance of the Nasatsu family, is secretly shocked. She understands that this atmosphere is How many nobles and even the monarch deliberately could not achieve the effect, but his lord seemed to have accomplished it just with gestures.

The noble lady thought about it for a moment. Although she has always been arrogant, she has to admit that she can't do it. She always considers loyalty rather than fairness as the first consideration. She feels that she cannot understand why Brando can always ignore this. Isn't her young lord afraid to cultivate talents for her opponents? It is very common to know that it is very common to change houses in this era. Almost all nobles have a headache about how to maintain the loyalty of their subordinates.

But Brando had never cared about it, but his group was the most loyal and cohesive one she had ever seen.

Brando responded to her in this way: If you have a fair and good system, why would you worry about people flowing elsewhere in this system? Paying loyalty is not because of praise and favoritism, but because this group is worth it. I am confident that this group is the best choice for those who follow me. I maintain this system while others pay loyalty. Just because I have such confidence in this group, all talents can be trusted and attached to it.

Regarding Brando’s understanding, the noble lady seemed to understand, but she still remembers the calmness and confidence of her lord when she said this. She has never seen such calmness in any nobleman. And unrestrained-if you come, I will greet you, if you abandon, I won't stop it. She thinks that perhaps only this kind of mind can create such a collective with unique charm.

A group where everyone, even the bad guys like Ulliel in the past, can find their place.

With the thoughts from this recent period of time, Antitina slowly walked into the Banyan Tree Square. She couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Brando not far away, which happened to meet the young lord's gaze. "There are more and more girls around Lord Lord, and even boys like Modeface look much cuter than herself." For some reason, an inexplicable thought flashed through Miss Noble's heart. The heart that was willing to compete with Little Roman to calm down, fluctuated again inexplicably.

"Maybe it's not that there is no chance."

Brando leaned halfway on the banyan tree and couldn't help but smile when he saw his lady of staff approach the arena. Of course he noticed Antitina's gaze, but he only thought that the other party was trying to remind himself, as a lord and nobleman of the kingdom, to pay attention to appearance. He could almost imagine the tone of Antitina when she said this, thinking of her staff. The young lady looked serious, and he had to smile slightly.

Antitina always has such a serious temper, but don't be cute too.

Brando couldn't help but commented on the girl, but he immediately reacted, shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind. It seems that since he was kissed by the deer banshee with the same name as the goddess of fate under the tomb, there was something peculiar in his heart that was agitated. Now Brando is only nineteen. He was about to turn twenty years old, and Sophie in the previous life was still a high-level wizard, so at this moment, he is still a little ignorant of the relationship between men and women, and is full of juvenile curiosity.

He patted his forehead to wake himself up, and his eyes moved from Antitina to the others. At this moment, other people on the field entered one after another, and they were almost there. Brando realized that there was already such a huge group among his subordinates unknowingly.

Akane, Mordefense, Medissa and the newly joined vampire girl Andriguez beside him, as well as Ropar, Charles and his Fireclaw Spearman a little further away, as well as a group of wind spirits. , Fire Giants that communicate with light and spirits—These guys are all creatures of the element world. Although they almost don’t communicate with each other in this world, they still speak a common language—then Kuran, Kaglisi, Meriya, and the white lion. The young non-commissioned officers of the infantry formed a circle, and the experience of these people advancing and retreating together in the Black Forest has allowed them to cultivate the feelings of comrades-in-arms.

The two holy archangels and Roman are standing together, they have almost become Roman's exclusive bodyguards now, and the lifelessness on their bodies has disappeared. In fact, Brando summoned the Book of Life on his way back, removed it from the battle, and took all the cards to the grave. The Book of Life is currently cooling down, and the resurrection cards in the graveyard have been released from the enchantment state and returned to the library. Brando did this mainly for the preparation of Ampersel and his party, but he also knew that he might not be able to use the Book of Life in the entire Ampersel and his party. Cards are more important.

Although the book of life is the core card of pure white heaven, in fact, the book of life card only strengthens the defensive power of the deck on the field after adversity and heaven are combined into one. Brando is actually a means of restoring life as a journeyman Not many, at least the pile of holy water from Amman in his Dimensional Cave may be unprecedented in history.

That is at least the logistical supplies Amman prepared for an army—

Looking farther, it was the three heads of Fern, Yuta, and Kerencia and their subordinates. They stood with the Tiger Sparrow, Rocco and others of the Rubis mercenary. On the other side of them was Chi The circle of the Bronze Dragon Mercenary Group, and finally the villagers of Green Village, stood with the druids and tree elves. Fonia was in that circle like a fish in the water. She has lived with her father for a while, and Brando also I don't want Fonia to be alienated from her family and villagers because of the druid.

Brando raised his head. There were cavemen in the forest. Tajib was doing well under him. The chief of the caveman expressed his willingness to surrender several times. They are not underestimated in this group like the underground world. On the contrary, many people who are loyal to this group say that cavemen are regarded as protectors. This is true if you think about it. Before the tree elves joined, the cavemen did. Can be regarded as Brando's strongest strength.

It’s not easy to see all of these people on the field. For example, Antitina has been directing agricultural production in the Mintai area for a while, but almost rarely appears in the fir collar. Tonigel’s winter crops are now entering the jointing. Brando almost knows nothing about this, but Antitina, who is a noble lady, is an expert. Vaughan's agriculture basically relies on magic, and the output is very high. The wizards and the monks of the temple play in it. Very useful-but it is impossible for the monks of the temple to serve the rebels. Fortunately, Brando has druids under his command, and the druids are far more adept at planting than the monks of the Temple of Flame.

But when these people gathered together, Brando realized that his wings were gradually full|full.

He couldn't help but count them. Akane, Modefice, Medissa, and Ropar were the four golden ranks, as well as Charles and Andríguez, two golden rank wizards. In addition, Kuran, The fire giant spirit also has the strength of the lower rank of gold. Counting him is a total of nine gold ranks, and the strength of the tree elves and druids is not counted. In terms of quantity alone, it is second only to the famous grand dukes such as Eruin Anlek and Sifah.

Brando remembers that there are a total of twenty-two golden ranks serving the royal family of Eruin, but not all of these twenty-two followed the royal party in the south, and some of them also joined the camp of the king’s eldest son, the Westfah family. . In other words, the power of the royal family now only has a dozen or so golden ranks. It can be said that Eruin's national power is not much stronger than him, and it may not be as good in terms of quality.

You must know that Brando's golden ranks are almost all above the middle position except for Kuran and Fire Giant Spirit, and Medissa has the strength of the upper position faintly. After Qian transformed the dragon bloodline, he reached the level of the golden pinnacle in one fell swoop. After the pseudonymous vampire received the sacrifice, the element manifested, and the wall of breakthrough elements was just a thin line away—to know that in Vaughan, the element Manifestation is actually regarded as element-level strength in the recognition.

And further down, the silver and black iron steps are also full of wings. Only Bran’s most famous people have three large captains, the Lubbes mercenary group, the holy angel, and the fireclaw spear when the lord is on the court. Hand, Kaglisi and his little lover Merial, the goddess officer, and the alliance of mercenaries and tree elves that came out of the Black Forest with him, the number is no less than hundreds, and among them the fire The commander of the battle group, Fern, has entered the silver peak, and he is once again a golden-tier combat power.

It is worth mentioning that Brando's own "Rock Garuru", the number of hundreds of silver-level black wolves is also a hidden terrifying force.

And down the silver, the bronze dragon mercenary group is the main force of the near silver, a large number of black iron peaks steadily constitute the mainstay of the middle and lower officers, and below is Ulliel, the old dwarf Oldham, the wind is fine Dragons and cavemen, as well as ghost beasts, and even Tamar, the alchemist who is an auxiliary person, have recently gained the strength of the Dark Iron Steps. Except for a few cute and pure civil servants, such as Roman and Antitina, Brando's combat power is almost full of talents.

The only shortcoming is the lack of the most high-end combat power. The princess has at least Bougainvillea and Liwoods as the elements of civilization, and the key elements of the Corcovado family that have been passed down for hundreds of years are definitely more than this. As for the Duke’s side, it is obvious. Anlek is a civilized retainer with two elements. There are three in the Duke’s coalition to the north, one in Vieiro, and two in Karasu (one of which is a wizard). Compared with these forces, Brando’s The top combat power is a bit insufficient.

Except for the Gray Sword Saint, but the Gray Sword Saint Mephistopheles is not a member of his group after all.

If Brando wants to win the element-level battle at this moment, the only way he can think of is the Jinhui Battle Standard. Although there are many restrictions, as long as he is on the field, he will at least have the ability to compete with Eruin. The strength of the Duke to contend.

At this time, the field has been quiet from the noisy scene, the people are already there, everyone's eyes are cast in this direction, waiting to see what the young overly lord suddenly summoned them to say. And at this time Brando recovered from his thoughts, his eyes slowly swept across the audience, and his thoughts had become clear again in a short moment.

"Let's talk about what happened recently." Brando first turned his eyes to Antitina.

What he wanted to say next was about Ampersel and his party. But not yet time, he needs to prepare, this matter is related to the future of the entire group and territory, Brando thought it was time for those who follow him to understand their own ideas. What is the future of Eruin? He didn't know how many people would agree with this, but after a period of time, Brando also wanted to see the result.

How many people are like-minded, and how many people want to save this ancient kingdom that once wrote glory on its banner.

'My sword is pointing forward, and the first generation of nobles of Eruin traces the ancient glory and advances along the path of the ancient sages. '
