The Amber Sword: Act 86 Signs of War (Fourth more, so stay tuned)
Symptoms of the Eighty-sixth War (more on the fourth, so stay tuned)
Here is the battlefield -- more than ten days ago
There seems to be a faint smell of gunpowder in the air -- Even in winter, dead bodies follow Brando Strict requirements have been cleaned up, the spread of the plague is not a joke, even if it is a cold day youngster Not willing to take this risk.
Except for the blood on the open ground at this moment, only the occasionally scattered armor and weapon fragments between the grass can prove that a fierce battle has occurred here.
The --, a bird with grayish black feathers, is a blackbird or a raven, sweeping the battlefield from a low altitude. The northerly winds are getting worse, the weather already gets drier and colder every day.
Because of the lack of priest, Brando had to deal with the dead body in a simpler way.
Several black smoke columns at the sky are proof that the smoke and dust crossed the forest, like the scene of Judgment Day. When several scouts carefully entered this old battlefield, they could not help but glance at the black smoke column of the southern sky.
They crouched down, examined the battlefield carefully, and then stood up again, looking at each other.
They are agents from Pallas'. Since they got the news of Knight Minteye's disastrous defeat, they came here -- day and night to start. They don't believe that the mob has so much ability.
But when they passed the Knight Minteye's collar, they were surprised to find that the jazz's territory already was occupied by another group. Some of them have seen those people --. It is a Mercenary Company called Amber Sword. They led a group of refugees across the border a few months ago, saying that they would go to wilderness to open up.
The last word about these people came to stay at Port Griess, but God knows how they returned here.
But scout's doubts are actually very simple to answer, because Brando knows that Knight Minteye will set off to attack Fir Tree Shire. In this case, you are not welcome to come and go. In his letter to Druids, already requested that Red Copper Dragon Leto immediately take people across the Patton wilderness, waiting for Knight Minteye to immediately copy his nest.
Poor Knight Minteye It never occurred to a group of mobs that they would be so bold, so the Jazz Lord actually suffered a big loss from the beginning of the war. Of course he didn't know himself. When he knew, he would already Became Brando's He was imprisoned.
But the scout do n’t know these details, they just noticed army with the keen instinct unique to the spy, and then they hurriedly left the Knight Minteye territory. Starry night and journey south across the Gris River and came to this place not long ago On the land of the war.
Of course, the battle in their hearts, according to Brando's, is called 'village-level fighting.'
I have seen Brando in the real war. To be honest, he has never worried about whether he can beat Knight Minteye. This is why he dare to let go of Fire Ground Battlegroup Head Commander Fern and Kalun to command.
But Brando also understands that I am afraid there will be a fierce battle next.
At this moment, one end of this vicious war lead is holding -- on these scouts sneaking into the youngster territory.
"The rumor is true."
After four weeks of inspection, an scout stood up and said to other companions, "Knight Minteye already failed, and it was a terrible defeat."
Everyone is quiet.
Although they had already expected this result, the news of Knight Minteye's disastrous defeat, since recently, already has spread on both sides of the Gris River, and it will not take long for it to reach Pallas adults.
But they confirmed the news first, but they couldn't help but feel hairy.
Everyone's eyes are on the veteran who has the most experience in his group and also speaks. The scout of ample experience thought for a moment and said:
"It's the most important thing to get the news back. This thing is a bit weird. I have been doing scout for so long. I haven't heard of the -- where the mob is so powerful." He glanced around: "This is an ambush."
"Ambush?"
"I heard that Cagliss Captain also participated in this war." A scout said, --, the son of Cagliss Correct Knight Minteye in his mouth, if you have good memory, you will remember that this youngster has worked under Pallas under a period of time.
But it's not just that.
Cagliss does not boast, because Pallas has no children, he has always regarded this youngster as his own, and taught him all experience in the war. The performance of youngster did not disappoint the old Knight. In the battle with mountain people, he performed well and enjoyed a high reputation under the Pallas.
He is going to trust His Royal Highness Princess Gryphine, and also agreed by the old Knight. Although Pallas himself is loyal to Count of Radnor, in fact, he is more inclined to royalist. He hopes that his self-disciplined disciple can embark on the road of assisting Aouine Zhengshuo to revive.
After scout said, I added a bit of doubt: "How could Cagliss Captain be ambushed, and when he led us, we didn't go to those cunning mountain people puppets once."
scout are silent, this is really weird.
But the veteran waved his hand: "I have a suggestion, we have two ways to split the soldiers. On the one hand, you take the letter back to the adult Pallas. On the other hand, we move on, look at Fir City, and try our luck --"
"This is too risky," said a young scout.
"There is no risk without scout." The veteran waved his hand: "I have the highest position here, listen to my orders, you all go back, and you can leave two people with me."
scout listened to this command and gave each one a glance. They are not worried about what danger they will encounter. They are the elite of Pallas. But since they went south, the whole thing has a mysterious taste, which made them retreat for the first time.
...
scout were arguing outside the forest, and Fern and Kalun in the forest glanced at each other, and then they turned back and saw that youngster, which hit the red robe, was sitting on a rock not far away, and Troglodyte Tribe Leader Tajiv was a little Looking in horror at Ciel.
The young wizard's spell completely covered up their Aura, and even the brilliant scout could not find them. Otherwise, at this distance, Fern is really not sure if those ample experience scout will notice anything.
When he was serving in the Callas Cavalry Regiment, he had seen many scouts in the army, and sometimes he himself occasionally acted as a scout as a cavalry.
But as sophisticated as the scout outside, he has only seen it in the most elite battalion.
That's definitely the first-rate Elite.
But what's more surprising to him is Ciel's identity. He comes from Callas and naturally has seen those mysterious Highland Wizard. He can be 100% sure that Ciel and those are a humanoid, and they have the same smell of Aura -- and Black tower.
He heard people say that Brando is Highland Knight, and at this moment he couldn't help but believe it. Can I have a Magister Level wizard as Highland Knight of Squire?
What is existence?
When Fern was a little confused, Kalun but already once again took away the look out of the forest: "The courage is really big."
He was talking about the scout outside.
Those scout already soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to Fir City, all the way to the north to return to Pallas. They broke up outside the forest, and the figure quickly disappeared at both ends of the avenue.
"Hey," Ciel looked at that direction, raised his eyebrow slightly. --, his look was very Brando. In this young wizard heart, Brando can be said to be the best master --. all know.
He has been deliberately imitating Brando's's every move recently, and already has some signs of going crazy. However, he then laughed at himself and laughed again: "Cagliss? I didn't expect that the little guy was so famous in scout under Pallas. He clamored every day to fight with one of you, and the two adults could it be that had no idea Right? "
The faces of Fern and Kalun immediately became weird.
In the ambush against Knight Minteye that day, the one that caused them the most trouble was the youngster called Cagliss. The opponent's ability to judge the battlefield is really not covered. Even Fern, a veteran, is amazed. Otherwise, if they finally caught Knight Minteye alive, maybe the youngster really killed the blood.
But Ciel also watched the joke of the three old predecessors, Tiger Sparrow, Fern and Kalun, and they said it was okay when they got the ticket, but in the end, they had a leak.
Otherwise if Ciel personally make a move, Cagliss has to be obedient even if it has wings.
But because of this, the youngster has not been convinced until now. Although he did not say anything from scratch as a soldier, he still dangled in the dungeon to Kalun, Tiger Sparrow or Fern. duel.
This boy ’s Swordsmanship is also superb. Kalun had the idea of teaching each other a meal, but he did n’t expect to eat a secret loss. From then on, Tiger Sparrow, Fern, and Kalun went around the dungeon to avoid embarrassment.
Ciel originally told Brando that there was a little guy who needed him to educate, in fact it was the youngster.
Seeing two Head Commander strange faces, youngster shook his head with a smile: "So how do you plan to handle this?"
He changed the subject and pointed outside.
"What to do?" Silver-haired middle-aged man looked at Ciel with a questioning look.
Three people seemed to ignore the Tajiv aside, which made the Troglodyte Tribe Leader somewhat dissatisfied. -- said that it was the people who had discovered the infiltrating scout, and immediately notified the humans.
But Ciel apparently has not forgotten the Troglodyte Tribe Leader that has not been so satisfactory these days. He nodded to Tajiv first: "Of course, this matter is still the credit of Tajiv. As for how to do the -- For our site, we have to grab them. As for how to deal with it, it ’s Lord Thane's thing -- ”
Tajiv listened and stood up.
"What about the others?" Fern asked with a frown, listening to the meaning of Ciel's, in order to let go of the scout who reported back.
Ciel nodded: "Let them go, this is Lord Thane's."
What does youngster mean?
Fern and Kalun glanced at each other. What did the young noble want to do? Putting those scout back, it is entirely possible to cause Pallas' alertness, then what will happen next, this is not good for anyone.
But Ciel didn't answer this question, he just raises head looked at the sky -- and thought, this time it seems that one's own Lord Thane is going to play once.
...
(***. Aha, it's another one, have you guessed it right?)
