The gently undulating hills are like folds of carpet, the last color of late summer after the autumn has not faded, the vegetation is full of deep green, the drizzle is falling, and the cold air seems to shroud the entire battlefield in a layer of mist. Down. On the hills by the river valley, many figures gradually appeared on the edge of the linden woods. These were soldiers, wearing heavy armor and pointed helmets. On the right shoulder was the head of a white lion, and the lion was hanging down. The eyelids seem to be thinking all the time, outlining the calm momentum of this army. The first non-commissioned officers to walk out of the forest, most of them have a flame-burning demon horn embossment on their shoulder armor, which means that they are veterans who have participated in the Ampersel War and survived the bloody battle of the demon. A pair of eyes were full of fortitude under the edge of the helmet of a young man in the front. His name was Mars. He not only participated in the battle of Ampersel, but also experienced the wolf disaster of the ring of trade winds, the earliest batch with him. A total of sixty young people from all over Tonigel, one-half of their lives were killed on the battlefield of Ampersel, but he survived, and he personally took the helmet with the white long mane from the lord’s hand. Became a squadron knight of the White Lion Guard.
He turned his head and looked at the other non-commissioned officer behind him. The other party was also wearing a helmet with a metal mask. He could only see a pair of light brown eyes that exuded wisdom. He knew that the man was called Ulliel, although he had never participated. Ampersel fought, but he was the first veteran to follow the lord, and now like him, he is already a key non-commissioned officer of the White Lion Guard. There are many such people in the firs collar. Brando currently has two systems. One is the original red bronze dragon mercenary group. The leader of this mercenary group is the red bronze dragon Leto. War veterans are now in Tonigel already aloof, most of his men are the first group of people to follow Brando, from the main honor, now this system has faintly veteran style. However, Brando has always deliberately downplayed the military status of non-professional soldiers in Tonigel. The Red Bronze Dragon Mercenary Corps is stationed in Mintai, and now it is mainly responsible for the local security work of the firs, and it is in the same place as the cavemen in charge of local defense. Status, but Reto himself has no ambitions, so he is quite comfortable with this arrangement.
Of course, Brando’s arrangement was never out of authority considerations, but only to emphasize the role of professional soldiers in the future for Tonigel and even for the kingdom; no one knew better than him that the private armies of the nobles had There are so many drawbacks, what happened to Vieiro’s army today is a bloody lesson for the past. Those who originally didn’t understand Brando’s arrangements were shocked and admired, but they didn’t understand what Brando saw. It was much more than that, he knew more than anyone what Eruin would need at this moment.
Brando's other system is the newly formed White Lion Legion and Wind Archer Legion. This system is Tonigel's new blood in the future, but he has not prevented those veterans in his original camp from participating. Many people have seen that this legion is the real core force of Brando in the future. Those who are optimistic about the future of the White Lion Guard, even include several mercenary commanders who were originally beside Brando-except for Clencia Now in addition to serving in the logistics department, both Uta and Fern took the initiative to join the White Lions Guards and became the Cavaliers of the Third and Fourth Battalions of the White Lions Guards. These people and Tonigel’s natives, as well as the young kings’ faction drawn from the original White Lions, seem to have become the three major factions in the new White Lions. This so-called faction only stays at the geographic level.
Ulliel noticed the gaze of his colleague, and turned his head around—on the edge of the forest that was flush with the line of sight, dense white lion infantry was slowly coming out of it. The young people had drawn out their swords and brushed them all together, the white lion. The epee shone faintly in the drizzle; the flag bearer had not yet raised the flag, so the queue was not visible yet, but at the far end of the field of vision, there were several figures standing on horseback in the mist.
"Are you nervous?" In such a cold weather, Brando can almost breathe out white breath, but with his strength, he naturally does not need to wear a metal mask, or even heavy armor, just wear it on the outside of the vest shirt. A breastplate, the belt under the gray breastplate was buckled tightly around the waist, on which was etched the coat of arms of a two-headed fierce eagle, it was his new trophy: the Lonia gap. He was speaking these words to Freya next to him, and the future Valkyrie shook his head, "It's not my first time on the battlefield, Brando really is," she thought, but Amperisel was so nervous that he almost couldn't hold the sword that he usually practiced very well. After fighting again and again, he gradually got used to it. She raised her head and looked forward, her bright gaze seemed to be able to see through the smog a few miles away: "This is really like Buche, uncle and aunt, this time I will drive those nasty invaders back. !"
The same is the gentle hills of the Yusong Mountains. Behind the rain and mist is the same enemy that night. Freya's eyes seem to burn with a firm belief, like the blazing fire of Buche that night, she unconsciously tightens The lion heart long sword in the hand.
A group of people walked out of the fog.
"Caglisi!" The priest Meria next to Brando let out a cry of relief. Now she is no longer a female companion in men's clothing, but restored to a girl's attire. Her beautiful light blonde hair makes her In the firs collar, she became a well-known beauty, but it made the kid Kaglisi cheaper. Merial’s father is a nobleman south of Amperisel. The family has Cruz descent. Therefore, her father has inherited the temperament of the empire and has always opposed her daughter’s love affair with Kaglisi, a poor country boy. , But since Brando made a blockbuster in the kingdom, his snobbish father-in-law was optimistic about Cagliese’s future, and he acquiesced in this marriage. Because of this matter, Meriya and Cagliese are now facing Burgundy. Lando was already desperate.
Cagliice blushed and glanced at Meria. There were a few young people behind him. Brando saw Cowen behind him at a glance, "He actually came in person." Brando was slightly surprised, but Did not show it on the face. Instead, he raised his hand and threw a helmet with a long mane and wings embossed over it. Cagliice took the helmet and replied with a smile on his face, "Cagliice will report to you, sir, requesting to return to the team." He caught a glimpse of his lord and nodded approvingly. He couldn't help but look aside. Meriya glanced at him, and replied a little embarrassed: "Lord Lord, why did you let her come too."
"Ms. Merial is the most outstanding priest in the territory, and is the head of my army priests. Why can't she come?" Brando replied badly, and then gave this guy a teasing look: "Of course, in In terms of personal matters, Meria belongs to your kid. But you can't stop her from dedicating her abilities to the territory because of it, right, Kaglisi, you can't be too selfish."
In fact, Melia is not the first priest under Brando, but Hippamila, but Hippamila is Himmelud priest, and Eruin under the Temple of Flame can only act alone. , Otherwise I'm afraid it will cause conflicts. When Brando said this, he suddenly remembered that there is another person who is currently living in the territory temporarily, which is far superior to Merial in terms of the study of doctrine and the position in the temple. That is Antuobe. If the nun princess, it’s just that Magdal hasn’t fully recovered yet, and Brando would not agree to her expedition to Jean Dernell in such a bad weather even if she herself is still in the recovery period. It's too inhumane.
The priestess blushed almost burning when he heard the second half of Brando's words. Even though his face was as thick as a city wall, Caglisi couldn't help but couldn't help it. He found himself often gagging with the lord, but The Lord Earl seemed to have signs of surpassing him in this aspect recently, which is really unfathomable. Of course he didn’t know that Brando had received thousands of times more information every day in his previous life. To say that his ability to complain is only far better than him and can never be slightly inferior. The reason why he didn’t care about him before was purely It's because the lord's majesty has not been established yet.
I am afraid that even Kaglisi himself hadn't noticed it, and before he knew it, he had fully approved this lord who was probably one or two years younger than him.
He hurriedly coughed twice to cover up the past. At this time, Brando had been looking at the Ke Wen behind him. The young man was thinner than when he first saw him. Both cheeks are deeply sunken in, but the pair of dark eyes are deeper and sharper. , And the whole person becomes more and more tenacious. He wears a thick animal skin cloak, and his temperament looks a bit like little Pello. He has only been missing for half a year, and he has grown a lot taller. He was a teenager before, and now he has a master of the party. Style.
"Long time no see, Lord Earl." Ke Wen said first. He watched with interest before Brando and his subordinates teasing, but he was very surprised at the relationship between the master and slave of the other party. He was born in the mining area under the rule of Dnell, and he was accustomed to meeting the old nobles of Eruin. For the exploitation of the lower class, he hated the noble bureaucrats and had no good feelings. Like all people who had aspirations from his youth, Ke Wen dared to put his hatred into action; but in the final analysis, this future Rangde King Nell’s vision is still difficult to exceed this era. Although he yearns for equality and freedom, it is difficult to imagine a world that truly advocates equality between people. Therefore, it is even more difficult to understand Brando among aristocrats. Freak.
"It seems that this Count Tonigel is indeed a maverick like the rumors. I just don't know if it is because of his own character or hypocrisy?" In fact, he had the answer in his heart, after all, Brando Once in the underground of Schafflund, he was kind to all of them. This lord left a deep impression on him: different from the treachery of ordinary nobles, he paid attention to promises and kept his promises, and he was quite the demeanor of the ancient nobles. Ke Wen never simply hated the nobles, but hatred blocking the decaying and degraded upper layers of the kingdom. Any Eruin has a yearning for the faith of the prince Eke, and Ke Wen is no exception, such as Brando. The appearance of a nobleman gave him a kind of inspiration.
Maybe this is the person he is looking for.
The future king of Denell was extremely complicated, but he didn't show any signs on his face. He looked at Brando. Brando actually had a vague guess in his mind at this moment, but he still couldn't believe that this future lord of the party actually wanted to serve him? He was almost flattered. In Brando’s view, a person like Ke Wen could jump from a refugee status to the actual ruler of a region. He was definitely known from the legend and was very ambitious. People with ambitions, if Eruin’s pattern is not too small, his future achievements will definitely not be limited to this. If this kind of person is placed in the history of his motherland in another generation, he will be the pioneer of a dynasty, such a person. , Actually planning to take refuge in him
For the first time since Brando traveled to this world, he felt a little overbearing, but he also quickly reacted in the air. After all, the current Cowen is not the future Jean Denell. The king, he is just a bandit leader now, he hasn't met so many encounters in history, and because of his own existence, he probably won't wait for that encounter in his life. At that time, when he was in Schafflund, the reason why Ke Wen did not take refuge in him was because he was just a bandit leader at the time, obviously not attractive to the other party; second, at that time, Ke Wen was obviously not now. With so many thoughts, he was still just a teenager, thinking about going outside of Schafflund to see the wider world.
But only half a year later, a major change has taken place in this young man's heart, and it seems that this broader world has indeed changed his life.
"Thank you very much for everything you have done for the Silman area in this war, Mr. Ke Wen, sometimes birth does not mean everything. Nobles are never born superior, capable people abound, and you happen to be The most outstanding of those." Brando praised faintly: "Some people have a starting line far before you. They are sheltered by their fathers, but now they are far behind you. Mr. Ke Wen, the ancient nobles When the sword plowed the boundaries of this kingdom, their origin was never predestined by heaven, only five words—faith and struggle."
Ke Wen's eyes lit up instantly, which was exactly what he had been looking for. Brando's words seemed to be confirmed by the confusion in his heart all the time. He almost suspected that the other party had some insightful ability, and looked at Brando with an unbelievable look. But in fact, the future king of Jean De Nell was not wrong. Brando did have some power to penetrate his soul. In history, Ke Wen has been pursuing the glory of this ancient aristocracy. , This is actually the ideal that every Eruin person yearns for, but most people can only imagine in their hearts, but Ke Wen dared to put it into action.
Brando knew what the king of Dernell was thinking, so naturally he couldn't say anything wrong. However, he is still a little worried. After all, the person before him is different from the experience in history. Maybe his outlook on life and likes and dislikes have long changed? But Ke Wen's expression finally gave him a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, although the history of Warend is now in chaos, at least some details are still difficult to change." He thought to himself that he should have touched the other party. Kind of a minute.
"Silman is an important gateway to the southern kingdom of the kingdom. What will happen to it in the future? You have seen it today. To the south here is a dark kingdom. The empire that is rising there will be the kingdom's most terrifying enemy in the future. Mr. Ke Wen, you can actually do much more than today."
Ke Wen calmed down and shook his head: "I'm just a desperado, Lord Earl, what I have done today is far from being as noble as you said. My intention is only to pay back your favor."
"Mr. Kewen, why do you arrogantly humble yourself." Now Freya also heard it. There may be an adulterous relationship between the two. She is all about fighting for the protection of Buche's ideals, and the other half of her mind is only tied to the cloth. In Lando, he knew that Brando wanted to subdue the young man in front of her. She never asked why Brando did what she did, she had already spoken out to persuade her. But Ke Wen just glanced at the female knight in front of him, shook his head, and did not answer.
Brando knew that the high-sounding words that Freya learned from the Royal Knights Academy might not be of any use to this ambitious young man, and that set of things can only be used by a simple-minded girl like Freya. He looked at Ke Wen. , Replied: "You and I are desperadoes, desperate for this kingdom and the belief in my heart. In the face of such persistence, everything else is nothing but trivial. Why should you care about the red tape?"
Ke Wen hesitated slightly, then stopped refuting, but slightly nodded and stood aside. Brando knew that he had been moved, so he didn't ask any more. This man is a real outstanding person, and his background is very similar to himself. , Once he takes refuge, he can only stand with him. Throughout the entire kingdom, no one except him would give these people the same treatment. In fact, even if it were himself, if it were not for the support of the princess and the identity of the grandson of the swordsman Darus, within the kingdom It may not be able to stand.
The aristocracy's rejection of the civilian class is deeply ingrained.
The drizzle remained. Brando put aside the question and asked Cagliice on the side: "Tell me, what happened before, our Count Jacques is dead or alive, and how much Vieiro’s army is left. Coming down?" Cagliice was refreshed, and immediately replied: "The fellow Tomobo is still a man, although the knights under him are a bit stupid and almost ruined the Viero people. Martha is here. I I have never seen such a tragic failure. It was purely a joke. But Lord Lord, Tomobo did not let his army rout, which is a miracle. On Madara’s side, it’s terrifying... "
He mentioned Madara and couldn't help but fought a cold war. Since the Battle of Amperthel, all of them have regarded the White Lion Guard very highly and never put Madara in their eyes. Although Brando mentioned the horror of the Bromantra rose more than once, in Cagliari’s mind, the horror of the undead army is relative to the old army of Eruin. If he wants to come to the undead army against the nobles Private troops will naturally sweep past, but in front of the White Lion Guards, they are nothing but chickens. The White Lion Guard once stubbornly withstood the impact of the demon army in the Battle of Ampersel. No matter how terrifying the legend of the undead is, there is no recognized demon with the strongest individual combat power to get its name.
But everything he saw today made him feel refreshed, and his awe of the Lord Lord couldn't help but deepen a bit.
In fact, every general who encounters the undead army for the first time will almost have the same idea as Kaglisi. As a separate individual, the undead may not be as scary as the devil, but once they are integrated into an army, it is the world. One of the most terrifying army on the planet. This is a team that is silent. It will neither scream out of fear nor flee because of injury. It will not give up resistance if it is less than 100% of the battle damage rate. There will be no despair, no excitement, and will only move forward silently. Then swallow all the army.
And their opponents will never feel the advantage brought by the so-called bravery on these bone shelves, because even if you are powerful, but facing a piece of wood, it is meaningless, you still have to treat them one by one. Every one is killed and crushed to achieve victory.
The victor who fought against the undead will feel exhausted, and the loser, the loser will feel nothing, because they have become part of the black rose.
The rose of Bromanto will never wither, just like eternal and immortal.
