The Amber Sword: Act Nine, Day One
First day of Act Nine
The refugees accompanying the Brando fled into Yinqueshan before sunrise. As expected from Brando, after they defeated the Cavalry Scout of the undead, Undead Army did not catch up. Because the combat effectiveness of low grade undead and vampire will decrease sharply throughout the day, Brando guesses that they will not let the skeleton sea advance through the sun until they completely eliminate the White-Mane Swordsman regiment.
However, after Undeads occupied several cemeteries in Rydenburg, the force will surely expand. When Targus arrived at DragoS in the north of this place, it was said that the strength of already expanded by 100,000, which was five times the total strength of Golan-Elsen.
After the number of refugees increased, already increased to the size of four or five hundred people. The long line was mixed with carriages and heavy mules, which stretched to half a mile between Yinque Mountain. Some people were looking for their loved ones who had been lost at night before and after the procession. Only the refugee group for a moment seemed a little angry.
miss merchant ran away from the carriage in the daytime. Now she is holding her baby backpack in a flatbed carriage full of cargo and telling stories to a few hairy ghosts. -- All the little ones were staring with wide eyes.
She was talking about how Brando was calm and wise, and suddenly she saw a man and a woman on horses coming up from behind, and her face was so scared that subconsciously lowered her head.
Brando slept for about three hours. This is his only sleep in the past few days, but because of the Madara army, he didn't sleep well. -- he quickly froze, and repeatedly confirmed that the sneaky girl was found. After Correct Romaine, I could n’t help laughing and shook my head:
"How did you run out?"
"I'm bored." miss merchant replied with a low eyebrow.
"It's dangerous outside, Romaine," Freya frowned and stared at his best friend, worriedly saying, "What's going to happen to you, how can I tell my aunt Jenny?"
"It's nothing dangerous. I'm telling stories to them." Romaine fluttered up when he mentioned this.
A few ghosts nodded quickly in simultaneously.
"The problem of isn't what you're doing we are discussing now," Freya sighed: "Do you know how nervous Ah? is now?"
Brando looked a little funny at Romaine: "What story are you telling?"
"It's a story about Brando's."
Brando beckoned her and motioned for her to come. miss merchant was a little hesitant, no doubt there was him, but ran to the edge of the carriage but was grabbed by youngster, pinched his face, and rubbed hard and taught: "-- should listen to Freya's, pay attention to one's own safety, understand?" >
Romaine was startled and made a whining sound, while hurriedly pushing Brando away, set up a pair of small eyebrow: "I ... woo wú ... get it, soon ... let go!"
Then she quickly retreated to the other corner of the carriage, stared vigilantly at Brando, and patted her chest with a look of fear.
Brando smiled secretly, it feels really good. But he turned around and saw Freya looking at it with envy, but the ponytail girl's face turned red immediately, don't go over and say loudly: "Widows, shameless shame, regardless of you two ..."
She left this sentence and ran away alone, leaving Brando alone there and be in a daze -- Somehow she provoke this ojou-sama again. While he was trembling there, Mano and Leto were found over there.
They sought him out to draw manpower from the refugees to form a self-defense corps. In fact, since the refugees' team entered Yinqueshan, the surrounding terrain has become complicated. There are large fir trees in the hills. The view has become very poor from the beginning. -- and they not only have to guard against possible Madara's undead of existence. Spies, beware of bears and Maned Wolf in the forest. Moreover, the ranks of refugees are still increasing. Even if Brando threw in more than thirty horse riders, it is estimated that there will be no splashes.
Moreover, he also released horse riders to the forward fan-shaped area for investigation, and the manpower on hand was even tighter.
Fortunately, there are many men in Aouine who have both participated in complete militia training and dare to stand up and fight. Brando has more than thirty black heir swords that have just been collected from which skeletons horse rider. one by one is distributed, and it is no problem to arm 40 or 50 people.
Leto and Mano put these people to the sides and back, and patrolled them back and forth mainly to maintain order and law and order in the refugee team. However, this is a simple matter to say, but it is very troublesome to do. They are busy for half an morning for this matter, and at this moment the Leto is just to report the results.
And Mano has a different purpose. He and Ciel sorted out the armor fragment collected from the team undead Cavalry Scout last night and handed it to Brando.
Most of them are cracked metal rings, with only a few metal pieces. Brando picked up each of them and looked at the sun, then touched the inside of the metal ring with the fingertips. He quickly found the familiar emblem, one eye.
Brando put those armour fragment back in the hands of Mano, and replied: "It seems that behind us is the deadly army, the same as in history --"
He suddenly saw Mano looking at himself suspiciously, and he coughed: "Dead Margus, he is an one and a half zombie. Among the Madara's military generals, he is particularly good at focusing on quantitative advantages, but he likes to march at night. You can see the army of zombies in the mountains.
The words Brando's let Leto and Mano look at each other. They don't know why Brando knows Madara so well, but it doesn't look like they are talking. Besides, this youngster does not need to talk big, since already has won their hearts of Veteran Mercenary since the war last night.
But Brando stopped and looked up. There are a few dark spots in the sky on the southeast side, and it is not known whether it is a hawk eagle in the mountain or an Madara's skeleton vulture. However, he soon stopped looking at this problem. As a standard Madara's reconnaissance troop type, skeletal vultures are also invincible. -- has excellent eyesight, and Necromancer can understand everything on the battlefield through them.
In the last few years of First Era, that is, several battles between 421 (the year of Lin Mao) and 426 (the year of astrology), especially the battle of the oblique forest of Sifah, Madara's The skeleton vultures were so wild that the players mobilized Wyvern Cavalry to disperse them too late. That was the peak period of Madara, and the tactics of Binghai were almost brought to the limit.
However, in the battles throughout the year, they have not concluded their methods. For example, in such dense forests and extremely high mountains, bone vultures have been severely weakened. Their monotonous chromaticity is difficult to distinguish under complex terrain Combat environment. Not to mention the four or five hundred people of Brando, that is, one or two thousand people drill into the deer hunting hills, and there is no shadow like the stones thrown into the sea.
That's why Brando has chosen to enter Yinqueshan instead of following the battalion refugees into the better Sharp Stone River Valley. He didn't say it, because he was afraid that these experienced Mercenarys would be unwilling. Although he would rather believe that these people are still bloody, but the anti-human heart must be --.
Brando thought about it and continued: "Margus likes to march at night, but he will not be idle during the day. He will use the elite Ghoul and Wight squadrons to drive the refugees, but now he must do it first It should be to defeat the White-Mane Swordsman group. I just don't know where Luc Besson should be now. "
In fact, Brando is most afraid of being found by Bone Dragon. He knows that Targus should have three Bone Dragons. If it is found by Bone Dragon in an open area like river valley, it is really a disaster. However, Targus should be cultivated in Rydenburg for a while. After occupying the cemetery there, he should expand the power of one's own by seize the moment. Anyway, the largest nail already unplugs -- from Rydenburg to Drago area and passes Sharp Stone River Valley.
Brando said, could not help but look at the direction of the valley. At this time, in the eyes of Leto and Mano, already suddenly became a generation of young generals or rising stars, and even his eyes could not help looking a little different.
Although they are Mercenary, they may not have the idea of becoming noble family members. Only God knows that Brando is just a fake noble forget it/that's all -- youngster. Although he has deliberately corrected the Ciel's name once, you can hear that the latter uses a serious attitude to call him "Master", and he has a creepy feeling. This is now called by default.
He thought about this problem, but he can only blame the ‘factory settings’ for not being set.
After finishing my work in the morning, everything was fine all morning, but the ranks of refugees were getting bigger and bigger. In addition to a refugee team that came up from behind, there were also some refugees who fled from the direction of the river valley. They brought the news of that direction. Brando was really not wrong. Margus's Ghoul, the ghost squadron and three Cabas's Skeleton Army is fighting fierce battle with White Mane Legion over there, and it is expected that the victory will be divided in the evening.
The refugees' team once expanded to about a thousand people. The middle Brando stopped these people to make a meal in time. Fortunately, most of the people who fled from the north of the city were attacked by the northwest and southwestern cities when Madara entered the city yesterday. There is enough time to bring some essentials, and we don't need Brando to worry about food problems for the time being.
But youngster is not unprepared. Deer Hunting Forest is a natural food reserve base in his eyes. There are many types of animals in the forest. In addition to the aggressive bears and Maned Wolf, there are wild boars, deer, badgers and hares, and there are a lot of pine nuts to collect, and there are mushrooms and wild vegetables in the forest. As long as you have the heart, feeding one or two thousand people here doesn't go well, but there is no problem in ensuring adequate food and clothing.
At around 3pm, the horse riders released before finally brought back the first news for Brando. This news is not about Madara's --
But someone wants to see him.
