The guest is naturally Brando's acquaintance-Greyfin Naga. The pearl in his hand was also given to him by the Queen of Naga Hanlu through the hand of Sanir. It was a kind of magic prop for communication between Naga. Unfortunately, the production of this thing was limited, otherwise he could have one for the important person around him.
As soon as the black pearl gleamed, Brando immediately realized that Sanir had arrived. But the first thing that came out of it was the outposts arranged by the white lion guards on the periphery. The young people from Tonigel naturally recognized the Nagas and directly attracted them.
The first thing Brando saw was Sanier, who was tall and taller than normal people. Next to him was a female Naga—female Naga was charming, but after all, they were not human. They had sharp points. The webbed ears and the skin are very smooth. There are three thin cheeks above the collarbone. Like the male Naga, there is a snake body below the navel.
Brando was still a little surprised at first why Sanier didn't meet Antitina and headed to Tonigel by sea. But as soon as he saw this female Naga, he understood. He happened to know that female Naga, the sea demon Brigitte, one of the main priestesses next to Queen Hanlu.
In the Naga clan, women presided over sacrificial rites and wars. For example, although Sanir was a warrior, he was only a frontline warrior. Although it happened to lead the Greyfin Naga clan later, it was a special case. Generally speaking, Naga is still a matriarchal clan society.
Naga, a noble-born female like Brigitte, appeared in the army mostly as a sacrificial accompaniment. In fact, it probably functions as a supervising army.
Brando understood immediately that the other party was coming to form an alliance with him. This also explains why the whereabouts of the Inner Harbor Guards in the Port of Ampersel is the issue. It seems that from the very beginning, the Nagas were determined to participate in this war.
As soon as the other party spoke, it confirmed his guess:
"Lord Lord, we are ordered by the Queen to fight side by side with the allies of mankind in accordance with the sacred covenant of the ages." Bridget’s Cruz speaks so well, it is almost inaudible that it is from the mouth of Naga, and there is no Sani. Er's low and hoarse murmur.
When she mentioned the Lady Queen, she bowed her head slightly and saluted Brando. This ceremony is not so much for Brando, as it is to show respect to his own queen.
There was a gleam in Brando's eyes. As a player, he was so keen, and he had a very detailed understanding of Naga's customs. It seems that Queen Hanlu intends to associate with him on an equal footing, otherwise the other party will not stop there. However, he didn't believe anything about the sacred covenant. If the sacred covenant really worked, there would be no holy war between the four temples.
What a powerful method, under the high-sounding excuse is obviously a naked|naked political investment. But what did Her Majesty the Queen think about him? He was just a little lord of Tonigel.
After Bridget finished speaking on the scene, he kept silent, obviously not giving him a chance to satisfy his curiosity. Sanir would probably not know that he was really not a big man in Greyfin Nagar.
But Brando has never been a bottom-seeking person. It's better to have reinforcements, and he just accepts it with peace of mind. Anyway, it is better to owe the Queen a favor, I am afraid this is the purpose of the other party, and he is not worried that he will not be able to pay it back.
The arrival of Greyfin Naga also caused quite a stir among others. After hearing that they were allies, the commotion quickly spread among the young people. Overwell couldn't help but ridicule Brando as a bandit lord and his men were bandits and pirates. Of course, this was a joke, because Sir Wolf had only one appreciation in his eyes.
You can only raise your own private soldiers and make arrogant friendships with all parties. Eluin most nobles and even Grudin's kind of waste wood will raise private soldiers, this is the natural instinct of nobles as if they can be learned without learning. In addition to his own strength, being able to associate with all parties requires a certain amount of personal charisma.
The problem is that Brando has gotten acquainted with too many forces. Druids and Nagas, these are forces that ordinary people don't have access to at all. In front of these people, the human identity is useless. In the eyes of the druids, there is no difference between the nobility and the common people, and in the eyes of the Nagar, the nobility is almost a fat sheep.
But Brando can get their approval, which can only be described as a freak.
The others are okay, but the princess's eyes are a little complicated when he sees him. Brando could even clearly feel both approval and vigilance in the half-elf girl's eyes. He knew where this vigilance came from.
With the addition of Grayfin Naga, the army gathered around the princess has expanded to 6,000 people at any rate, barely having the strength of a guard regiment. Everyone seemed to see a little hope, especially the private soldiers of Earl Odin, who were no longer in a hurry-Brando was really afraid that these guys would be deserted when they were touched.
Brando asked Sanir how they caught up, only to realize that Sanir and his grayfin Nagar Guards were chasing his party along the sea route of Ampersel Bay. According to Sanier's description, after they defeated the Hong Kong Guard, they discovered that Brando had evacuated Amperthel. At that time, the Black Blade Legion had already assembled south of Ampersel. Sanir made a decisive decision and ordered all Nagas to evacuate along the inner river channel of the city and enter the outer sea bay of Ampersel, and then landed from Denggang Bay before intercepting Bran. One more line.
The topography of Amperexel is very special, where the north and south land meet and squeeze to form a crescent-shaped bay, with the Amperel Strait in the center, flat terrain on the north and cliffs on the south. You can see this unique landscape when you take a boat out to sea. The line south of the port of Ampersel is almost entirely cut-off sea cliffs, with dense reefs and hard sails.
There are two landing sites to the south, of which Denggang Bay is actually a shallow beach, and only Nagar can land from there. Not to mention that there was a turbulent reef outside, Brando knew very well, so he also dispelled the idea of going out to sea there. Further south is St. Baie's Bay, which is far from the port of Ampereur, and it is also the only anchorage in this area.
Brando estimated the time, and it seemed unlikely that he would rush to St. White Bay before being overtaken by the Black Blade Legion, but the addition of Greyfin Naga gave him another plan.
Brando immediately rolled up the parchment map, and the non-commissioned officers of the surrounding Royal Knights Academy knew that their'commander' was about to make a plan, so they gathered around. Overwell and Earl Ouding also stood beside Brando.
"Think of a way." Sir Wolf asked.
"En," Brando nodded, "There is a concept, but it needs to be verified."
"Does your lord have any coup, think of a way to get rid of those nasty guys in the sky?" Enrok asked with a grin.
"Brando, can you drag it to night, and take advantage of the night to get rid of the dragon cavalry in the sky." Freya also asked.
"Impossible," Count Ouding replied. He used to serve in the Black Blade Legion and the Southern Legion, and is the most familiar leader of the Wyvern Cavalry: "The scientific name of the Wyvern Cavalry's mount is Eruin Yalong. They live mainly on the northern plateau. They are actually nocturnal creatures, and the trained flying dragoons can track them at night without any problems."
"It's really annoying, it's the all-weather army." Brando murmured in his heart, but in fact he also knew this; speaking of him, he had also been a flying dragon cavalry in the game, and he was quite similar to a creature like Eruin Yalong. I understand, so I didn't keep this delusion from the beginning, "Well, unless the sky is up and down, you still don't want to get rid of the other party. After all, people use flying, we use walking."
He was so witty that everyone couldn't help but smile.
"We are dead too, Brando." Only Freya gave him an angry look.
"So we have to face the Black Blade Legion. At this rate, we will be overtaken by tomorrow afternoon at the earliest." Roka, the leader of the Three Greats, reacted extremely quickly. He calmly said, "No, it's not even needed. At that time. Earlier, the light cavalry of the Black Blade Legion will bite."
"Hussars are not good at fighting in the mountains, maybe we can bite them back." Bresson groaned and replied.
"That way we will lose time." Nimesse said quietly, and she glanced at Brando. She has always been the commander of this army, but now she doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with Brando on her calm face.
Brando also discovered that this female knight has a quality that he admires very much, that is, the obedience of the soldier. She is calm, calm, and absolutely obedient to orders. This is something that he can't even do. This is truly outstanding. Soldiers.
But the other party turned out to be a woman, and she looked exactly like the senior sister, which made him a little unacceptable.
Overwell didn't speak, he seemed to be waiting for these young people to speak. Brando also had the same thoughts. It would be nice to take this opportunity to see the true strength of the three heroes of Eruin.
After Lorca considered it for a while, she replied: "Sooner or later, the advantage of time will be lost. At least until then, we can decide where and how to fight the Black Blade Legion."
exactly.
Turn the time of the day into the right place. Brando secretly praised in his heart that this Eru was worthy of his former reputation as the leader of the three masters, and his ideas coincided with him. However, he had planned for a long time, but the other party made a momentary judgment, and the gap in it was huge.
Fortunately, he never considered himself a genius commander. The reason why he is here is only because he has insights far beyond everyone in this period of history. This is enough.
"What is the goal of the battle?"
"Obviously, stand by and wait for help." Enrok replied.
"Then where do we choose the battlefield?" Everyone can't help but cast their eyes on the spread map, and Brando is the same. They were actually walking eastward into the Macenko Mountains in the direction leaving Amperel Port, and now they are already a little bit south of Rangding's Foothill Manor.
Jean Ding’s foothill manor is a famous landmark near Ampersel. It is said to be a manor, but in fact it is a mountain inn built into a fortress. This manor is located in a forest surrounded by mountains about a dozen miles east of the port of Ampersel, and is located on the mountain road that leads from Ampersel to the province of Ampere.
Because that is the only road around here, they deviated from this road, in fact, the southeast of Amperisel is already in the mountains. And there is another avenue to the south of Ampersel, this avenue leads to Vlada-Pesting, and they are between these two avenues.
This area is also a level 25-30 adventure area that Brando is familiar with. To the south, there is an acropolis of Amperisel, and there is a sawmill nearby, the main source of charcoal supply for Amperisel, where Brando has done many tasks before.
There is also a small iron mine nearby. Because of the charcoal, a large number of manors operating blacksmith workshops emerged around the harvest year (1st.360). With the Acropolis as the center, it enters the mountain to the east, and the gentle coastal area to the west is densely populated.
Brando's gaze prejudged a line in this area.
Young people are arguing.
Kaglisi believes that they should take advantage of their small number but more elite army to block the Black Blade Legion in the Fama Valley (1). This valley is deep into the northern branch of Anlek. The terrain is difficult and it is the most used as ambush. One of good terrain.
But Enrok believed that they should have entered the Fama Mountains, and along the Fama Mountains into the northern main branch of the Anlek Mountains, also relying on the advantages of fewer people and elites while fighting and retreating, and circled with the northern coalition forces in the deep mountains. This was a whimsical idea, Brando was taken aback when he heard it and wondered if this was the rudimentary form of guerrilla warfare. This could be an alternative.
However, he had just been taken aback, and the dispute over there had become fierce. Enrok laughed at Caglisi's rigid thinking and military dogmatism, Caglisi did not show any weakness, and ridiculed the other side's thinking that the other party was a bandit and a gangster.
The two sides disputed that they couldn't reach a conclusion. Breson supported Caglisi's view, and Muko believed that Enrok said it better. Only Freya, Lorca and Nimesis' eyes fell on Brando.
Brando smiled slightly and pointed on the map: "We are here to give the Black Blade Legion a grand banquet."
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. In fact, Brando was pointing not far from here. He drew a line, which eventually pointed to a place called Mar Heights.
What is this place
Everyone can see that the place drawn on the map is obviously not the most suitable place to stop. Mar Highland is a terraced terrain. Although it is also the intersection of three mountains, the open area is a flat alluvial plain, which is very conducive to the deployment of the army. I'm afraid there is something wrong with fighting here. If Brando hadn't led them to break a bloody path, everyone present, including Cagliice, would doubt if he was an internal traitor of the Northern Allied Forces...
"Mr. Brando...?"
"Trust me, this is the best choice," Brando smiled. "I won't make fun of my life, right?"
"But why?" Freya couldn't help asking.
The reason is simple, Brando smiled smirkly, this place called Mar Heights was a nightmare in the minds of countless players. There is a copy of the "Afega Temple Ruins" in the Mar Heights. Afega is the famous demon god of Vonde. It is said that the body is a demon. Of course, this temple is actually not related to him, but it is surrounded by a group of people. The wind elemental creatures from the mountain where the storm ceased were occupied, and the temple was buried deep underground. It should have not been unearthed before this era.
This temple was announced in a later version, and there is also a small door opening task. Brando could completely imagine how much trouble the Black Blade Legion would encounter if he got this thing out. Back then, the players were beaten up and howling, and it was not until almost five years later that someone settled this instance.
Not to mention that the front of Mar Highlands is still a colony of monsters with scarlet back wild boars. If they don't know the correct marching route, these 20-odd social creatures are enough for them to drink a pot.
Brando felt like he was going to laugh out loud when he thought about it. What's more, he chose the battlefield on the plain, not only for the purpose of letting the opponent relax his vigilance, but also for deeper considerations. However, there are some things that can't be said yet. The non-commissioned students of the Royal Knights Academy are credible, but it is difficult to say the private soldiers of the nobles under Count Oeting.
He waved his hand to signal other people to stop discussing. Brando's prestige has been initially established. Although the young people are more or less confused, they still choose to trust the commander who brought them all the way out.
"This place is actually an inverted triangle. If you stick to two of the hills, it is not impossible to defend. I think Lord Lord may have other considerations, but is this place too close to the acropolis of Ampersel?" Lorca also Frowned and asked.
"Not on the contrary, we have to kill all the way along this line." Brando said, pointing to the manor area.
"Ah, what? Isn't it?" Enrok almost didn't jump up: "Lord Lord, this seems unnecessary, if you want to show your military might to shock the Yankees... Well, I admit that we are already very powerful. ."
"No, it's necessary." Brando smiled at him slightly. Then he turned his head and said to Saner, "Saner, do you and your men perceive your sea monster whale?"
Sanir was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"Then please take them immediately, and make sure that Miss Antitina appears in front of me before tonight."
"no problem."
Brando rolled up the parchment and said to the others: "You also go to prepare and come up with a battle plan. And don't forget, you have to beat the pioneer cavalry of the Black Blade Legion to let them know that we are here. ."
Everyone looked at each other, but they had to stand up and salute.
