In the mountain pass to the north of the valley, a small human camp is stationed here. The camp is stationed in a clearing in the forest surrounded by ancient trees, but it is made up of several gray tents, which are fixed by ropes and wooden stakes. Between the rubble, a flagpole was symbolically inserted not far away, and the red and white battle flag of the White Legion was hung from above.
There are about a dozen imperial knights in the camp, but most of them lie on the ground. The only people who can stand are four. Among them, a man wearing a fur collar coat and an obvious aristocratic appearance seems to be the head of these imperial soldiers. The other three, a lady dressing up in a dress, a young nobleman, and a cowering skeleton frame.
There is no doubt that these three are Sidney, Brando, and the corrupt knight Crotte.
Brando frowned and threw the crimson blessing to the ground, as well as some miscellaneous equipment on his body. After the White War, these equipment were all broken. Fortunately, they were in the Dead Frost Forest. After the big bang, there was nothing left on him. Many of the equipment were sub-magic items temporarily taken from Bolu and Alchemy Master Tamar.
The only valuable items are the Lonia gap and some ring necklaces. The equipment in these parts of the ring and necklace is not easy to damage. As for the Lonia gap, it is worthy of the classic equipment handed down in the Twilight War era. Under Bai’s attack He was unscathed, and thanks to this breastplate, otherwise he might not have waited for Sidney to save his life.
Yibai’s strength at the time was close to the realm of sages. In fact, the stabilization system did not perfect the bloodline talent of the body, but after being weakened by the gap of Lonia by one level of law, only the power of the pinnacle of the extreme realm could not surpass the laws of the mortal world. , Although he could still be seriously injured, but let the unyielding talent play a role, it can be regarded as saving his life.
However, although the Lornia gap was preserved intact, Bahamut’s gift was not so lucky. As the first part to bear the brunt of the impact of the white power, this precious hand armor was directly blown up in half during the battle. . Brando somewhat regrettably put the fragment of this hand armor away and put it in the Dimensional Hole, ready to see if there is any chance to repair it in the future. After all, this is fantasy-level equipment, and it can be used in "Amber Sword". When he thinks of something that cannot be expected, Brando's heart is full of dissatisfaction.
Although this might be disrespectful to Metis’ sister, the woman was so stingy that she didn’t explode a piece of equipment after she died, as if everything was burned out with her soul, even The same goes for the fake Mavekart's book. Brando was bleeding in his heart when he thought of the book of Mavekart, if he got the experience of that book, he might be able to rise to the pinnacle of the law, and even have the opportunity to aspire to the extreme plains.
But now all this is gone.
He also put on most of his own equipment.
He even felt a little skeptical in his heart. It seemed that since he came to this world, his lucky value and in "Amber Sword" seemed to have dropped. Some artifacts that he had never seen before-even power crystals, The sword of the earth, the gap of Lonia, the world of fire, the preference of mountains and rivers, and the lion heart sword are all in his hands, and in fact most of them are not obtained by him in a planned way. Luck should be placed in the past game, even if he was killed, he would never believe it.
It's the situation that happened after fighting against Bai this time, but it made him feel a bit back to the previous feeling-Brando found that he was not surprised at all, as if it should be the case, but the previous situation made him feel I was a little disturbed, as if I had done something wrong.
But Brando thought about it carefully. Before this happened, there seemed to be only one change around him—that is, the senior sister came to him again.
"Okay." Brando couldn't help but smashed his mouth, and quickly threw this absurd idea from his mind.
Sidney had just walked around from the camp and returned to the camp. He saw Brando's movements and realized where he had taken the holy water from before. However, although the Dimension Cave is rare, it is better than Brando. Many other things around—such as the Buga’s fleet, such as the Valkyrie, seem to be nothing, not to mention that the young earl from Eruin is an outstanding summoner, and most of the summoners have their own So Sidney was not surprised after trying to understand this, and he didn't think of Amman.
But she heard Brando muttering there alone, and couldn't help asking:
"what are you saying?"
Brando woke up, glanced at the jumbled things on the ground, and shook his head quickly. "Nothing," he replied, "just tidy things up."
Sidney didn't even look at the tatters on the ground, only glanced at the nobleman who was held down by the wind-binding spell not far away, and asked, "How is it, are you finished?"
Brando nodded.
The imperial nobleman in front of him is called Charles, a member of the Banker, who came from a knight family, and now serves as a knight commander in the White Legion. Their mission this time is to escort the White group to the Perkin Church. Of course, it was an escort in name, but it was also surveillance. After Brando asked about it, he realized that these people were not out to perform this kind of task for the first time, and the potential purpose of their task should be to find the rule fragments in the port of Fattan. However, Bai did not tell the truth to these people. The woman obviously had the ability to find the fragments of Fatan Harbor’s rules, but she took these people around, not knowing whether she was trying to conceal her true purpose or wishing to Hereby fight for more autonomy for yourself.
Maybe both. After all, if she found the fragments of the law at the beginning, she might not have time to find what she wanted everywhere.
But Brando naturally has no obligation to explain to the guy in front of him who was kept in the dark. He confirmed the authenticity of the words in these populations to the corrupt knight Crotte, and after getting a positive answer, he further tried to trick the people from this population. More things came out, mainly including the distribution and garrison of the White Army near Oveshin. Of course, a small knight commander may not know much about these military secrets, but Brando himself only needs one. Besides, this person has seen the undead and doesn’t have much taboo about these bones, indicating that he must have been early. Just touched these things. Brando asked, it’s no secret that there are undead troops stationed near Oveshin. It’s just that the White Legion prohibits everyone except the army from crossing the Golden Needle Forest to Fattan Harbor, so the news was blocked. So dead.
"Where do those undead come from?" he asked.
"In the mountains—" Sir Charles felt very unlucky, who would accompany a group of bone racks to perform tasks at this time and feed the cold wind at this mountain pass. This is not enough. The pile of bones really can't do the job, they messed up the matter, and also implicated himself in it. Sir Charles is actually already thinking about the future. If he can, he will never say a word. , But the young man in front of him was holding the sword on his neck, and the coldness oozing from the blade made him frightened, and he couldn't help but tell the truth.
But in fact, he can’t say what’s the reason. Most people know that these bone frames came from the mountains. They serve. This is the most widely circulated statement of Oveshin, and it is also similar to the official explanation. When Brando asked about it, he answered it without even thinking about it.
Brando patted this guy on the neck with his sword blade, seeing his face pale in fright, and couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the nobles of the empire and the nobles of Eruin seem to be similar, except for the youth and blood, Slightly older, he has become angry with such assholes. This is the worst era, but it is also full of opportunities and challenges. The dark empire and Cruz in the east started their reforms for a hundred years after this era. If Eruin stood firm at this time, he might not be able to go out of his own. On the way.
As long as there is time, there is hope.
However, Charles's words also proved his expectations. This guy is really not a high-level person. He has limited knowledge of the undead army. I am afraid that most of them are hearsay, and I don't know much about the inside story.
So he asked another question, that is, has there been any army mobilization in the direction of Valach recently, but he did not expect to have unexpected gains this time. He keenly observed Charles shivering, and he almost understood subconsciously what this guy absolutely knew. After some questioning-of course, it was still the sword to clear the way, and he used the sword of the earth to hit the neck of Sir Charles. After the close contact, the imperial nobleman finally opened his mouth.
I don’t know if I don’t ask, I realized that this guy actually has a younger brother who happened to be in the army that was mobilized. There is no doubt that the younger brother of the knight is also a lax guy, although the other party is only in In this operation, I served as the outermost security guard, but I also probably understood what the situation was about this transfer. A total of sixty-four knights and three knight commanders escorted a "necromancer" to Bume. As for the route and some details, they don't know anything, which is also in line with the identity and status of the other party.
But Brando didn’t need these things, because Uta had discovered this army of undead people a long time ago, and Brando knew exactly what the necromancer was, and he didn’t need to repeat it again under the guise of an outsider. And these things Charles said are completely enough.
What he worries most before is the strength of the escorting knights. The highest combat power he can mobilize now is his teacher Mephistopheles. The strength of the extreme realm sounds terrible, but there are also three in the empire. Five, in addition to Vala, there are David, the head of the Knights Templar, and An Blair, the chief court mage of the empire. The remaining one is the commander of the red legion and the strongest of the four sword saints of the empire. One of them, Duke of the Scarlet Sword Saint Duke—these people’s political inclinations are all loyal to the imperial power faction, which can be said to be Constance’s diehard loyalty; not to mention that the woman has now subdued the witch line, the extremely strong Including the King of Witches and Asgari, the number has almost doubled suddenly. These witches are haunting and haunting, and he would not dare to let Grey Sword Saint leave Fatan Harbor easily before confirming their location.
What's more, there are the remnants of the mountain people, the Senja people and the Miner people. It is not surprising that one or two of these long-established peoples who live in seclusion will come to him at any time. Because of this, he is not allowed. Acting carelessly.
Excluding Mephistopheles, the highest combat power he can use is actually the Braunhilde Sisters of the Valkyrie, but although they are ancient arms, their strength is actually limited now. In terms of combat power alone, it is estimated to be better than him. It's a little bit worse. Together, they and him, if they have to deal with a genuine extreme powerhouse by tricks, unless there is a slight possibility of winning only by a pre-arranged sneak attack, but they have to face it, and in all likelihood they will lose.
But obviously since the opponent has only sixty-four official knights and three knight commanders, it is simple. According to the level of the White Legion, the official knights are only the level of the middle and lower reaches of the gold, and the knight commander is estimated to be about the same as the guy in front of him. , The golden peak of the sky, even if there are some outstanding people who may have reached the stage of element manifestation, they are not in his eyes.
Let alone the manifestation of elements, what about civilized? He sits on the elements of time and space, and has experienced several insights between life and death. He has also come into contact with the realm of sages and even things at the level of existential power. In the realm of the side of truth, unless he has the same level of elements as him. And a guy whose experience is comparable to his, otherwise he really has nothing to fear. He might be able to kill him in a flash with the half-hearted elements of civilization and even the truth side.
After figuring this out, Brando turned the hilt and slapped the guy fainted, making Sir Charles, who had been so scared that he almost collapsed, finally'happily' lost his mind. Then he turned to Sidney and said, "Ms. Sidney, since we are already an ally, I am about to go to war with Her Majesty the Queen. As an ally, I'm not welcome. I may be right about some things. You need to be entrusted to do it."
Sidney nodded, acquiescing to this relationship, and asked, "Please tell me."
Brando recounted in detail, and the saint of the Lion Palace listened silently, but nodded occasionally. Time passed quickly, and suddenly there was a clear bird song in the valley. Brando raised his head and looked in that direction. He heard the sound of a cuckoo. There are many such birds in Metz. Rachi, there are even many white-tailed rhododendrons, which the mountain people call the sacred bird, but the beautiful little creatures are still not seen here.
He silently took out two communication crystals, and after they were activated, he whispered to them:
"Charles, Uta—"
