Of course, the gaze of the cavalry made him pay attention at best. He believed that the Whitemane Legion would not be so ignorant.
Just like his previous plan, Brando had no intention of entering the corrupt system of Eruin, but the refugees' affairs could not be covered up. He had anticipated this a long time ago. Therefore, in pursuit of freedom, money, and experienced mercenaries became the best candidates to replace him in the limelight.
The halo over a group of people is always dimmer than that over a person. When people think of it as a group of experienced and capable mercenaries leading the refugees to a bloody path from a thousand armies, Will feel taken for granted.
This is for the average person.
The fall of Rittenberg is like an untimely bomb. In any case, the Cavaliers from the Whitemane Legion can hardly escape blame after the war. Therefore, at this time, a small highlight will bring out their incompetence. . If he were to act as this positive person alone, he would certainly be satisfied with his vanity, but it must be the local nobleman who laughed happily.
Brando didn't want to put the stigma of any power on him. Therefore, after his arrangement, the situation has changed:
Because the more people in this story, the easier it is to change the final writing of the story—
Brando knew that those shrewd aristocrats would understand this, and the next step depends on whether this old cunning guy is clean enough; at least how to find a scapegoat to cover all the faults, and then whitewash the whole story, that is They are the key to saving face.
But this actually has nothing to do with him. He actually doesn't want to deal with these guys at all, but now he can't help but choose.
But at least there is another advantage, that is, the name of the "Amber Sword" has started.
People's interest in the excitement was limited, so except for the young people around Phoenix, the citizens outside the Silver Wing Cavalry headquarters quickly dispersed.
Brando also quickly met Old Madden. The elderly guard captain seemed to be worried and hurried for the past few days, so that the wrinkles on his face had increased. Brando guessed what he was worried about, but couldn't figure out the situation among the nobles.
Within Braggs, the struggle between the local aristocracy represented by Earl Nagin and the military aristocracy has reached a fierce stage. Under this circumstance, only carefree young talents such as Little Phoenix will be devoted to investigating the legendary stories in the city—
Thinking of this, he walked over and greeted him. Madden remembered this young man who was not afraid of death. The veteran who had experienced the November War raised his eyebrows when he saw him-although the old man had heard of Bran After the news that there was nothing wrong with Freya, Duo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and secretly thank Master Martha for blessing.
Then his gaze fell on Freya, and the girl with a long ponytail immediately put her hand on her chest and replied: "Captain Madden, I'm back—"
Madden nodded his head and smiled relievedly: "Okay, just come back."
But before a word was finished, it was inevitable to be touched. The villagers who remembered Buqi were still displaced at this moment, while the nobles were striving for power. Although he was not from Buqi, he was silent for a while.
Seeing that Madden seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, Freya also remembered the family of Aunt Sill who had died in Madara's hands, and her eyes turned red.
Brando saw that little Roman kept moving his eyes towards him, and couldn't help but sighed, saying that this dead girl was carefree, but sometimes she was both sharp and shrewd. But when you pay attention to this merchant eldest lady, she begins to betray her beloved and play a little bit.
Thinking of this, he went up and patted Freya on the back and soothed the girl with a long ponytail. Then he said to Madden: "Captain Madden, there is a word that is presumptuous. But in fact, you don't have to think too much about matters between the nobles. After all, we little people just wait for their final decision-"
Madden was taken aback, but he didn't expect Brando to see his distress. Although he is a veteran of the November War, he is not good at these intrigues. His exhaustion over the past few days has almost made him a little overwhelmed. Sometimes he really envied the little Phoenix’s little devil’s head. Do not install.
But what Madden seems to be complicated, Brando, as a latecomer in history, sees it simpler than him. Because Madden and the group are in such a situation, their decision will not have any effect, so it is better not to decide and just wait for others to help them arrange everything. Although there is some helplessness in saying this, it is true.
This is what he wants to tell Madden—
But after Brando made it clear to the veteran, the elderly guard captain couldn't help being taken aback. He looked at Brando suspiciously and asked: "Young man, who are you? These things are generally acceptable. I can't see it so clearly, let alone ordinary people, not even me."
His words actually confirmed Freya's guess, and Freya thought that since even Captain Madden said so, Brando's identity is certain. She went up and told Brando's identity to the veteran of the November War—of course, it was about the Highlander.
Madden just came across.
"It turns out that you are a nobleman or a Highland Knight." After listening, the old guard captain couldn't help but glanced at Brando in surprise, and said: "When I was young, I had the opportunity to fight alongside the Highland Knights. Although most people say that the Highland Knights must be called unruly and rebellious, they have to say that they are indeed all heroes."
He glanced at Brando again: "It seems that their younger generations are impatient, Brando, you at least proved this."
"You're too praised, Captain Madden."
"No, when you said you were going to deliver the letter from Xavier Mountain Road, I simply thought that your young man was not afraid of death. And if it wasn't for the little girl of Roman who insisted on going with you, I would not support you." Ma Deng replied: "Of course, as for later, I sent Freya to chase you, that's another matter."
"But in any case, your subsequent performance can be called bravery. Young people, true bravery is not recklessness, but understanding what you are doing. Your behavior clearly deserves this."
The elderly guard captain patted Brando and Freya on the shoulders with both hands: "You are all good, Eruin's example of young people."
Freya silently looked at Brando. I thought that most of the credit for this was actually Brando, but everyone didn't know it.
Of course, Brando would not be so stupid to speak out by himself—
Then they met one by one with the other members of the Buchi militia. Ike, Essen, and Makmi, who were close to him, naturally came to congratulate him, especially Makmi bought a small barrel of ale. , Claiming to have a toast for the rest of his life. The taciturn Nibeto and Vlad just patted each other on the shoulders. They were not good at talking, but their feelings were naturally contained in every move.
The only unexpected situation was that this group of people met Brayson halfway through. The young man was with his father, but rarely did Brando confront Brando, but just a little bit of his head and the two sides passed by.
Then Mammy told him that Breson had been depressed for a month, and he had only recently gotten better. Brando couldn't help being silent for a moment when he heard the news. A person who could blame himself for his dead companion was not too bad at least, which confirmed one of his thoughts.
At the end of the celebration, some young men from the silver-winged cavalry joined in. Brando couldn't help but glance at Bartom when he saw the young men in the cavalry.
This shows that his arrangement to disperse the'hate' is relatively successful-after all, jealousy is inherent in life and inevitable, but as long as it is a little low-key, it can also win friends.
After the celebration, the old guard captain Madden came again to ask him about the nobility. And this time Brandot asked Freya to stay, and then replied: "Uncle Madden, in fact, it seems that the situation is already clear. The knights represented by the Whitemane Legion will come in contact with us soon, which shows that they A decision has already been made, but you can rest assured that this decision has nothing to do with us in fact, as long as we accept the award with peace of mind."
"How do you say?" Madden asked.
"Probably this is the situation. They need people to become heroes, like you and Freya who have outstanding performances, and are from the garrison or militia system, so that people can think of the power of the local army at a glance." Brando He replied: "Uncle Madden, you led the villagers of Butcher to break out of the siege and delivered a timely message to Van Mill fortress. This is a good thing, because Uncle Madden, as long as you belong to the security team, your credit is their credit. "
"But a group of mercenaries led one or two thousand refugees in Ridenburg, smashing a bloody path from tens of thousands of undead. It is a bit hard to say, if it is not done well, it will make the Whitemane Legion a laughingstock. But on the one hand these two things Deeds have been spread in Braggs, Anzek, and even Dragos. They can’t even admit it if they don’t want to. So how to deal with it has become a very clever thing.”
"So, we are actually just a cover?" Bartom suddenly reacted.
Brando nodded: "So the key lies on Freya."
"Me?" Freya was able to hear her, but at this time she woke up in shock: "Brando, I—"
Madden was silent at this time, Brando said very bluntly, but it made the old man a little unacceptable. Although he also knew some things between nobles, he didn't expect that a war was so simple in the eyes of these nobles.
So what are they fighting for here
"Freya, don't answer anything yet, just listen to me." Brando said with a glance at the ponytail girl.
Freya was taken aback and nodded.
Brando continued: "However, the Cavaliers have their own reservations. They disdain to deal with mercenaries, because in their opinion, mercenaries are insatiable and fighting for money are not really soldiers. Dealing with these people is It’s a very self-reliant approach."
Bartom took a sip, disdainfully.
Brando looked at him and smiled: "Of course, if forced to do so, they will still send someone to contact privately—"
"False." Bartom replied, wiped his red beard.
"You can put it this way, always hypocritical. Or vanity." Brando replied lightly.
"The nobles think so, are they too short-sighted?" Madden still has some incredible, after all, he has been deeply influenced by the army. He couldn't believe that the aristocratic nobles could be so shallow and hypocritical.
"Short-sighted?" Brando shook his head. In fact, he could say that he knew them even better than these old soldiers himself. These nobles were not short-sighted or stupid. They should even be said to be too shrewd, and of course selfish and greedy. It's just an example—
As long as they have power and an army in their hands, the nobles can fully rely on their independence. They don't have to share the worries for the royal family and their lower-class people. Even if their territory is invaded-it doesn't matter, Madara will retreat anyway. Even if the prediction is wrong, they can live a decent life in any country in Vaughan, relying on their converged money.
In the end, it is the people at the bottom who suffer.
In this case, of course the nobles have to indulge in the struggle for power, why not do it
Brando glanced at several people present and continued: "In this way, Freya among us will become the ideal whitewashing candidate for the Whitemane Legion Cavaliers and Nobles, at least she was born in the militia. The civilians first think of the background of the military."
"But, isn’t it possible for Ulliel. He is the captain of the security cavalry of Ridenberg, isn’t he more suitable than me?" Freya endured the matter and did not tell Fronta, because Brando strictly ordered They were forbidden to disclose the identity of Fulong Tower outside.
This will cause them trouble.
Brando shook his head: "On the contrary, at least in Ridenburg, the security cavalry belongs to the local aristocracy. In fact, they are private soldiers of private names. The cavalry team was originally established to contain the swordsmen regiment of the Whitemane Legion, you Do you think that the Whitemane Legion will be noble to that level and create prestige for their enemies?"
Brando said this, and the people present immediately realized that Frey really seemed to be the only possible candidate.
Even Freya herself was startled, and went down silently.
