The Amber Sword: Act 7 Leader
Leader of Act Seven
After a large number of refugees dragged their homes and finally escaped the Rydenburg North Gate, the congested crowd spread out along the Taniguchi Plain north of Usson River. Under the moonlight, it was more like a dense ant colony.
The hazy undulations in front are the southernmost end of the deer hunting hills. A small hill called the silver sparrow is full of beautiful Golan-Elsen firs. These tall tree species have the shape of a tower and the ends stick straight into the sky. The woods are more than ten levels of bears and Maned Wolf haunting areas. In game, players often have to travel together to deal with sudden dangers in the mountains.
Brando are convinced that their first step is to enter Yinqueshan to mitigate the threat from the side of the Taniguchi Plain. The Madara army already is fully deployed. For days, they have absorbed nutrients from the earth. The scale has expanded like a sponge. Brando is afraid that they will see an endless sea of skulls on the plain.
Fortunately, illusion has not become a reality.
In the misty night, a skeleton cavalry on the high ground is looming, which is not a good sign. Those bone racks that ride skull horses should come from the core territory of Madara's. In this era, making these skulls horse rider is still a difficult Magic art.
Unlike the next generation, history is drenched in blood, and the art of killing on both sides is rapidly maturing.
Brando Staring at the shadows of those Agility will appear in the fog for a while, look at them from a distance. Then it disappeared, and later appeared somewhere closer. He was a little worried that the refugees behind them would be scattered, so that Freya took mercenaries to the flanks to protect those commoner, and soon he followed up.
Freya won the favor because of the proposal of grabbing a horse from noble. At least she proved to be willing to fight alongside those Mercenary --. This is a head-drop. If Brando teaches her those things, she must not do it . Besides, this young girl with a long ponytail performed very well. She rushed into the market with arrow(s) at first, and cut the cable of the suspension bridge cleanly and let others pass.
Since then, she has established her identity in these mercenarys, only to make Leto and Mano and the others make up her mind to gamble.
Compared to that, the youngster that the girl has always admired seems a little obscure to everyone. The youngster carriage has been running side by side with the Freya's horse. He is sitting on the side of the driver, pressing the sword with one hand, the -- with a look of contemplation, and the Ciel wearing robe on the other side.
The carriage is missing a door, and a head pops up from time to time, looking outside curiously. Romaine took care of a few children in the carriage, but she didn't feel hard at all, just felt her heart pounding. It was exciting and exciting to escape -- under the chase of undead on such a mysterious night. This is what she wanted To adventure life.
mercenary Mano could not help but lick his mouth behind, Brando who could not ride a horse was also marked as a woman and child in his eyes. He rubbed his companions around with his elbows, thinking that most of these noble young people are on the paper. Don't let the simple girl Freya be fooled by his sweet words.
He gestured to his companion and asked him to take the two and try the guy right away. They robbed more than 50 horses in total, including half heavy horses, and half are the best Anlieke war horses. Apart from dry food, the wounded and their own use, there are still many left.
His companions glanced at him and immediately understood. To tell the truth, a group of them now have this feeling in their hearts, not to mention that Brando also asked Freya to order them to protect these refugees, but they did not say it but they were dissatisfied. What to do with a bunch of burdens? Now they all have horses, as long as they run wildly, put the danger behind their heads.
In fact, some people in already suggested this to Leto, but the bar owners sent them to see Freya. Mercenary is about credit, and its reputation in this industry will not work. --'s idea of grabbing horses was raised by Freya. This girl also took the lead to do it. There is an agreement between them and it is impossible to leave.
But there is a prerequisite for that agreement.
The Skeleton Cavalry appeared about thirty seconds shorter than the previous one, and then quietly disappeared into the mist. The huge second-round moon lies among the mountains on the east. The moon-shaped disk reflects the cusp-shaped peaks --. The moon-colored peaks. The hazy mist on the eastern highlands and Rydenburg spread to one side. It forms a mysterious picture.
Brando glanced at the pocket watch, the edge of the pocket watch reflected a cold light.
"Why don't you talk?" He turned to see Freya riding on his horse, and kept his head down did not say a word, looking uneasy. He wanted to praise her this time. The people and horses snatched up by Freya helped him a lot. He didn't expect to encounter so many refugees, and there were so many people willing to Follow him.
He looked back. The refugees already in the back increased sharply from the first dozens to two or three hundred. Everyone has herd mentality. The more people there are, the more they will gather.
Freya was afraid that he would be unhappy about making Brando, but he was embarrassed to say it. She had originally wanted to surpass Brando, but now she wanted to perform better in front of Brando. This psychological change was subtle.
"You, don't you blame me?" Nothing unusual was heard in the tone of Brando, and Valkyrie in the future only opened his eyes raises head. The light of the moon reflected in her light brown eyes was extremely bright, and her eyes were surprised.
"I blame you for doing a good job."
"But I'm late."
"The plans are all flexible, as long as they do not exceed the threshold, and I am a bit late."
"That, I ..."
The two suddenly heard the sound, because the Mercenary already came up from behind. He immediately saluted youngster -- as commoner to noble. Then he held up the reins of the two horses in his hand and said, "Master, let's get on the horse. It may be easier to fight in a while."
Brando Look at this guy, knowing the other person's plans, he jumped off the carriage lightly. After taking the other's reins, he looked up and asked, "What's the point of riding?"
At that moment, mercenary suddenly showed a strong ridicule in his eyes. He said that you wouldn't do it, but he wanted to pretend to have a good look. Do you think the Horsemanship can be trained overnight? In fact, in Vaunde, few noble will not be Horsemanship, especially in the eyes of soldiers in battle, not Horsemanship is a shameful thing.
However, in order to make the other party ugly in front of Freya, he still pointed out: "You mount the horse from the side first, and see the stables? For the first time, the movement is slightly slower." The hirer said deliberately Because he didn't believe how anyone would learn to ride a horse just by listening to two sentences, then these horse riders simply went to the head and died.
But he only spoke on this side. On Brando, already received a prompt on whether to consume 15 points Skill EXP to learn Horsemanship. When he put one foot on the stable, his movement still seemed rusty. However, when next step grasped the halter and turned on the horse, already was smooth, as if immersed in this way for many years.
Level 3 Horsemanship is ready for battle, with a total of 45 Skill EXP. In fact, Brando has long wanted to learn Horsemanship, but he didn't know that Freya would, and now he can't help but miss that [Exploration] skill.
He looked back and saw that mercenary looked at himself with a look of shame.
"Wait," Princess interrupted the description of Oberbeck: "You said he was a novice before he started?"
"Correct is like this, Her Highness the Princess. If the old man reads correctly, he moves on the stables very irregularly, just like many early Scholars." Oberbeck answered respectfully.
"Is it possible for a person to learn a skill in an instant?" The girl is unbelievable. She thinks she is clever, but it still takes nearly half a month to learn Horsemanship. Just as soon as she learned, already was as skilled as the best horse rider.
"Except that he deliberately deceives, otherwise this is the case." Oberbeck is actually a little unbelievable, but he does not believe that youngster can deceive one's own's eyes.
"He did it on purpose, this man is really a master of mind-handling." Princess muttered to himself.
That may not be so. Oberbeck replied in his heart, but did not raise it, but continued to talk.
On the other side, Ciel also jumped off the carriage. He glanced at the Mercenary obliquely and took the reins from the opponent's hand. He is Wizard Squire, Horsemanship is one of the required courses, not to mention superb, but also proficient.
Freya look at the two of them, thinking that Brando is all right, it just likes to deceive people too much. The last time I asked her to learn first aid, the girl's face became a little hot when she thought about it.
The Mercenary looked at this master and a servant, and the first reaction was that he was tricked. At this time, the Mano at the back also noticed that the one's own companion had eaten it, and quickly rushed to catch up and came to a few people.
"youngster, when are we going to protect these people?" He was also a bachelor, and asked when he came up.
Brando turns the horse's head, catches up and rides with Freya in front. He looked at the refugees and replied: "Cross Sharp Stone River Valley from here, we will take them to the other end, and we can basically guarantee their safety."
"With so many people, we can't shake off the pursuit of the Madara army." Mano shook his head.
"You can't, I can."
Mano is a moment later. "How do you do that?" He couldn't help asking.
Brando '铮' pulled out the Elven Sword and immediately pointed to the direction of the highlands: "Skull Cavalry are spies in the Madara army. They come from the core areas of Madara. Go and scatter them from here to Silver Sparrow It takes more than half an hour for the mountain to follow the speed of the refugees. I want to ensure that the side of the team is not threatened during this time. --
Mano was stunned for a while, but I didn't expect that when I spoke, it became an excuse for the other party to order one's own. He couldn't help but set his sights on Freya. The agreement between them was Freya, not Brando.
"Brando?" Freya is also willing to believe this youngster, but she thinks Brando's's attitude is a bit too aggressive.
Brando regained her sword and replied, "So, you just want to know how to escape from here in peace. You are not willing to bring these people out with me, so it ’s not helpful to say more. You and Freya has an agreement, right? Let me hear what -- convinced me, and I can let you all take a horse away.
As soon as Mano, I realized that this 'noble youth' is not easy, and I fully grasped the initiative of the conversation in a few words. He was also a Mercenary leader before, and has dealt with nobles, but he has not encountered such a sharp figure.
"We are Mercenary. If you can afford it, we would be happy to do it for you. But of course, we must think of ourselves first, which is not embarrassing." The older Mercenary answered for granted .
"Yes, but I still want to remind you that you think horses can escape safely. Madara has an air force. Have you ever seen ghosts and bone vultures? They are in the sky and you know how to avoid these Necromancers. Eyeliner? "Brando put his hand on the hilt. He didn't believe that these guys would know the Mercenary of -- who was mixing on the border and did not really deal with Madara. He did not understand the terribleness of the other party. Kill a few skeleton zombies even if you know Madara? That Necromancer might as well be dead on the wall.
NN, the daughter of Leto and one's own, also chased up on horseback. He frowned when he heard the words of youngster: "So you have a way?"
"It's hard to say, no one can be perfect. But in the forest, my odds are much higher, so I give priority to how to get rid of the skeleton cavalry, and have them fast on the flanking refugees. Get up -- "
Mano and Leto are silent, they instinctively feel that youngster is true.
Brando suddenly slackens the reins, allowing the horse to run out of a circle to reach the high ground. He looked back at a few mercenarys here, and took out a ruby from his arms: "You want to have a chance to survive, except with luck, it is best to be with me. My requirements are simple -- You listen to me command Protect Freya to lead these refugees safely to the other side of the canyon. You are Mercenary, this is the reward I promise you, after completing my commission, there will be more -- in the future.
As soon as he lifted his hand, the ruby crossed an arc to fall to the feet of Leto.
Freya pointed to herself somehow and asked aloud, "I? Brando, why am I?" She looked at the refugees behind her, wondering if they were brought out by Brando, how did she become her leader?
Not that she doesn't want to, but just so many people, can she do it? Freya can't help but feel uneasy. She was only a small militia Captain at the beginning, but she will lead more than ten experienced Mercenary in a while. This will become hundreds of people and may even end up with thousands. Leaders, this is a little strange.
Brando smiled, he had his own arrangements and did not answer. Instead, they waved back to Mano and Leto, and simply said:
"Go, gather your manpower. I'll wait for you to return to --. At least you can choose how to die. Was it bumped into the Madara army and transformed into undead, or was it like a real mercenary We protect the weak, and fight to kill a **** road. "
He looked back, and the Skeleton Cavalry appeared again in the moonlight, this time about ten seconds earlier.
