The Amber Sword: Act 13 Before the First World War
Before the war in Act XIII
After leaving the valley, the refugees headed eastward, lacking open flames, and the entire long team was immersed in darkness.
The team meanders occasionally in the mountains, looking towards the dark mountains, a shadowy fir-tree tip. If it ’s not the stars, it ’s difficult for someone to tell the direction in this environment. The people behind can often only passively follow the front team, one after the other. The entire team is composed of ordinary citizens. -- Although the fear makes them feel more aware, It is inevitable that the bell will ring as you move forward.
Freya divided refugees into several areas under the direction of Brando's. Each area has two backbones responsible for maintaining order. Freya tells these small citizens what to do, and Brando tells them what would happen if they did n’t do so. -- would work together to restrain the whole team.
But a few Captains with experience are not too worried. Leto and Mano fight ample experience, telling Brando that the sound is not too far away in the lush forest, and the distance of at most one arrow will become whisper.
While the Taron of the White-Mane Swordsman group listened to the wind passing by the hillside, the noise of the rushing trees had long overwhelmed all other sounds, telling the Brando that hearing in this environment is not as effective as vision.
Brando listened to the wind and heard it from afar. It seemed to be Songtao, and it was like a flock of birds in a fir forest. It sounded squeak, but when you listen carefully, -- has no smell: light, Long, like the sound of a wonderful group of instruments playing in the mountain breeze; like a mysterious whisper, what an unknown existence in the forest is telling the world.
In Golan-Elsen and even the entire Aouine Southern Territory, people describe the whisper in the forest as witch's deceptive whisper. It is said that many people never go back in the forest because of the witch scheme.
These legends are certainly not to be believed, but at the moment they taste a strange mystery.
Brando led the horse to the side of the team, followed by other mercenary. Because everyone has only one horse, horse riders tries to save the horse's Stamina as much as possible in preparation for a battle that may be encountered at any time. Although the war horses in this world are exceptionally strong, about 20% higher than the average horses, Stamina, but in fact, cavalry rarely use horses as mounts, because in the war here, -- also seemed too much. 'Cowardly'.
Their already is about ten miles away from that valley eastward, in fact it is out of the range of Yinqueshan. It doesn't look like a society with a highly developed civilization. The smallest mountaintops must be marked with a code, such as this mountaintop, Brando doesn't know what name it should be.
It should belong to the southeast part of the Bucks Hills, but it is off the avenue and uninhabited. Hunters can only pass here during the hunting season. Therefore, the hunter's hut can sometimes be seen in the mountains.
Brando has already released Gargoyle and let it advance in the southwest direction. At the same time Cavalry Scout also traced back along their path.
About half an hour, the news came back. The two experienced Mercenarys looked pale when they saw Brando, and they found the bones of the mountains and mountains at a distance of half.
Brando can guess such a scene:
When you see a sea of gray and white skulls slowly appearing from the top of the mountain, and then a little bit over the forest, it cascades down, leaving only a sound of ‘huā huā' in the mountains, which is really shocking.
So while warm words appeased the two Mercenary to go to rest, he told others about the weaknesses of these bones so that they would not lose their fighting spirit because of the imminent danger.
He sends a spy -- to the northwest
Brando knows the Madara's habitual layout during this season. Layer by layer, it can be flexibly transferred, and the scout control range is very large, which can be supported before and after. This tactic aims to give full play to the advantages of Madara Undead Army in the number of --. In fact, in the early days of War of Black Rose, the dark Thanes once carried forward this tactic with the excellent middle low level Commander.
But it has a fatal drawback.
That's the eyes. Once the ghost support is lost, there will be a huge gap between the squadron and the squadron, especially in such mountainous areas, it is easy to be interspersed by opponents. And another weakness is that if the Commander is too inferior, such a layout will easily play the classic 'fueling tactics' situation.
Of course, the reason why the Madara army dare to adopt such an arrangement before the second War of Black Rose is on the one hand a manifestation of self-confidence. There are too many outstanding talents available in this era.
On the other hand, the means by which ghosts can be found in this era are not many -- itself
It's just that Brando 'just happens' knows one.
He couldn't help looking at raises head on the hillside--
Mano takes the militia of the Self-Defense Regiment through the fir forest. --, the experienced Mercenary, keeps going back to see the beautiful white stag -- Brando in the valley below, telling him that it will point out to them where the terrible undead is hiding Office.
Mano is skeptical about this. He wants to fight in order to be regular, not to be as mysterious as wizard. Just like at this moment, their already left the refugees' team far behind, almost a mile away, but the beast did not respond at all.
But when he was going to scold his mother, he saw that elegant creature suddenly turned his head in one direction, and showed his anxious expression with his hoof against the ground.
Over there!
Mano immediately pointed the machete forward and let others jump over it quickly.
In that direction is a fir forest that is not different from other places, but they have just scrambled up from the left and right, and a dim light emerges from the woods, like a miserable white shadow , And then gradually formed a humanoid halo floating in the air.
Isn't this Spectre, Martha above?
It's not just the militia behind him, but even Mano himself, but the pale figure already screamed at these militia teeth.
The shrieks of everyone make everyone's heart cold, but they let the sound in the forest calm down --
Mano felt that he had never fought such a weird battle in his whole life. The ghostly face was like a lot of his comrades in a moment, but he quickly shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind. Brando told him : All of this is an illusion. Don't take advantage of it.
He can't doubt the youngster at all now, the scene in front of him is too weird.
Mano tightened the scimitar in his hand.
Xue Liang's blade swipes out, and the blade passes through Spectre's body, but immediately forms a layer of ice. Mano knows badly and does not have a real sense of blow, which shows that he has lost his sword.
The ghost is between spirit and essence. Physical attacks have a chance of half.
Mano is too late to make a large avoidance action, the other's pale finger already stretches to his face Wuqiao -- He leans his head in a critical moment, letting the other's slender fingertip pass through the shoulder of one's own.
The experienced Mercenary immediately rushed to the shoulder with a cold bite, as if the entire left arm had completely lost consciousness.
"Attack, you bastards!" He fell to the right and shouted at those scared militias. These citizens then reacted, and set up spears towards the Spectre.
Three spears passed directly through the looming shadow, but the other two lifted the ghost up and made it scream.
Mano bounced from the ground, and stabbed at the pale light and shadow obliquely. This time he had good luck, hitting the other side's soul essence with one stroke, and the strength of Black Iron level swordsman broke out in an instant to let the ghost scream and disappear. --
Everyone is sighed in relief. I can't help but sit softly on the ground, no one speaks. In fact, even the veteran Mano has some snacks.
But at the moment there was only one thought in his mind: how did the youngster know this?
youngster retracted his eyes, Mano and Batum did a good job. He couldn't help but be grateful for these Mercenary veterans, otherwise he would have some trouble dealing with these mid-grade undead.
However, the Statue of Soul (white deer) is actually a very common Item. Just to link it to the military requires some imagination. -- Brando can't help but look back at Freya. This method was actually invented by the Valkyrie of Correct.
Is he plagiarism?
However, Madara has lost these ghosts as eyeliners, and they will definitely feel bad this night. Perhaps the Necromancer that controls them will soon find that the ghosts they sent out are collectively missing in a certain direction, but this does not explain what -- they need to verify and wait for news again.
For an hour or two, already is enough for him to do a lot of things.
Gargoyle continued to fly southwest, and Brando finally saw a skeleton cavalry passing through the woodland. He didn't know if he had missed anything else before, but presumably this should be an brigade investigation frontline.
So he found another Skeleton Cavalry after three minutes.
At the same time, the tactical characteristics of Madara in this period coincided with what he wanted in his mind. He let Gargoyle cross several mountain ridges in a direction tangent to the ridge. Sure enough, he quickly saw a dark and dark valley. Army of skeleton soldiers.
About two hundred, one squadron.
Gargoyle continues along the valley again, exactly as he imagined. Brando immediately found two other squadrons --. Although he couldn't see which brigade they should belong to, but none of the Madara brigade Commander level generals in this period was a mess.
He thinks that ‘White Knight’ Abaddon and Huesa should not be in such a late position, but it should always be one of Dhiren, Golob, or ‘Blood Witch’ Ladios.
Two generals, five brigades, close to the size of 10,000 undead, concentrated in the hills with a width of less than twenty or thirty miles, Undead Army really began to promote -- in the night.
Time is getting a little tighter.
Brando also wants to see how large the depth area between Madara second floor and third floor is, and where is the other brigade, but Gargoyle already has reached the maximum flight range. Of course, although he had flickered Marden and Bretton before, and said that Gargoyle surveyed the entire Bucce area within one day, in fact Gargoyle was not omnipotent.
1.05 am.
The news from the northwest also came back. In that direction, as expected from Fatalon, a large number of elite armys of -- 'Dead Squads' had indeed arrived from Sharp Stone River Valley.
When the news spread in Mercenary, everyone looked a little dignified. They had a little luck, but they didn't expect it to develop to the worst result.
As a result, the refugee procession is under siege. Of course, unless they can speed up to break north and escape the gap before closing.
But mercenaries took a look at the refugees, and then took a look at Freya and Brando, knowing that this is unlikely.
for a moment everyone is a little silent.
Freya clutched the reins a little nervously, subconsciously set his sights on Brando.
Only Brando picked up the pocket watch and looked at it, then turned over, as if they had never cared about the atmosphere around them. --
He yanked out his sword and said to these people, "Listen, everyone --"
youngster's voice is so powerful and loud.
"In our southwest, there are two squadrons, two to three miles away, and one squadron is in a farther direction. Four undead Cavalry Scout touched from each direction, I want to tell you What we want is to kill two of them and attack one of the squadrons to open up -- "
"We still have to go behind the dying, as we expected it to be."
"We have two hours to do all this. Two hours later we started to hide and seek with Madara's Undead Army." Brando raised his sword and pulled the reins to make the horse make a turn in front of everyone, showing a mocking expression.
"Why are you scared?"
A piece of raven is silent.
Everyone is shocked at this moment. How did this youngster know all this? Isn't he going to open the river in the mouth?
But Brando was unexpected every time, but most of them knew that he never said anything. In particular, he stood on horseback, raised his sword and pointed at the southwestern --. Every sentence was eloquent, just like when he took them to launch the charge.
As if the direction his sword was pointing at, that direction was the road to miracles, and even if it was difficult and dangerous, it would eventually open up a way.
That is a blood path -- after the thorns are separated
Brando looked at these people, did not say a word, just like he took those like-minded people to charge Madara together. Someone once said that he is the most qualified attacker Commander, because once he decides, he goes forward.
No one spoke.
But all Mercenarys turned over, brushing a piece of metallic friction.
"Everything is for victory."
"Aouine Long live --"
