The Amber Sword: Time Node of Act 70 Holy War iii

The candidate that Brando thinks about is naturally the Floral Leaf Shire's Duke, Fina Young Lady. This Young Lady is Veronica's student. At the same time, she is at the top of the empire noble circle. It is the most suitable candidate to understand the information in her. Even more commendable is that he and the Duke do n’t have any real interests, and there is no need to worry that the other party will lie to him for no reason. Although the ojou-sama showed arrogance and rudeness at Faithwind Circle, it does not look like a cunning mind. people.

Moreover, he does need someone to prove from the side whether the eldest son's supporters in the south are reliable.

When dealing with the Empire regional nobles, he has very cleverly avoided the topic about the eldest son of the emperor --. He described himself as Veronica and Mangrove as a friend of the military forces in the north of the empire. This identity is important to the emperor. The eldest son has a family of nobles that are naturally close to each other. In addition, Lenarret exposes some informants Deathsworn who are loyal to him to Brando. Through these people, Brando and his ambassadors can easily reach the Empire. The royal loyalists got involved.

However, these people are not worth relying on, and Brando knows this very well.

He immediately wrote a letter to Fina. There is still a long distance from Floating Cloud Hills to Floral Leaf Shire. He didn't expect to receive a reply at 1:30, but at this time, the nobles in the south brought him back. A new message.

This information was also commissioned by Brando to ask them for help. It is mainly about the current Holy War news. At the same time as Holy War started, the Aouinian envoys went to the empire. When passing through the bustling area of ​​Ampere Searl, They can still inquire about the war more or less, but after entering Balta plateau, and then into the mountains of Anzeluta, in these unpopulated areas, it is really isolated from the world. For two months, Except for the conflict with Jean Count and Orkens Count, they have almost completely blank information about the outside world.

Follow Kirrlutz nobles Argument, since the Big Bang in July and August, Leonin versus Wind Elf Retaliation on the border has begun Holy War The grand scene, this war raged between October and November, each deadlocked, and Year of Sword Completely silent for the last month of Brando With Empire South noble Slapstick for a moment Attracted everyone's attention and made the ongoing war trivial; Wind Elf in Four Borders Plain Began to shrink after the first round of offensive, which is based on Aokins A tragic act of revenge, although it was seen by all parties Holy War The curtain rises, but the curtain has not yet opened, compared to this place legion This is the third time that both huge empires need time to respond to this war Holy War A unique wonder in China, like the limbs of the body already Take action, but the brain is still working slowly.

The Leonin side is even more weird. When the people of the earth began to attack the fortress group in the Rocerch Highlands-Broken Sword Mountain Range area, they seemed to fall into silence. I do n’t know if it was because of the fear of failure or because of winter logistics. Difficulty, never advance.

Except for the Torquine part, these messages are not fundamentally different from what Brando heard at Ampere Searl two months ago.

However, Wind Elf's offensive actions can be expected. In addition to Madara, in this era, the central government of each empire has very limited binding power on the place. Among them, Kirrlutz Empire is slightly stronger, and Saers and Wind Elf are slightly less. Some, because Saers still faces the contradiction between the two main races of humans and elf, this problem has not been resolved in the era of Brando until Tablet War, and Faanzan is even worse, Faanzan is a loose alliance, with Enir People as the main body, there are franchise countries such as Gracius Kingdom of Knights, and the north is a fertile soil for the city-state system. Without Holy Church power, it is almost impossible to call it a country. Of course, it is very rare that the domestic situation is eroding to the Aouine kingdom. Each of the three empires is undergoing internal reforms. Among them, Wind Elf and Faanzan are at the forefront. Kirrlutzian currently seems to have The Silver Queen. In the attempt to make a highly centralized empire, Lenarret is also ambitious, but for a while, these huge empires still rely on regional nobles to maintain their operations.

Saers's elves retaliatory action was initiated by legion Commander and Thane of Aokins, although in fact the default permission of elf royal court was obtained; the counterattack initiated by Kirrlutzian Chizhi legion was not actually a war initiated by The Silver Queen's order, but With the tacit consent of the supreme one, even Holy Cathedral of Fire did not object. The tricky part here is that both sides already intend to continue this war, but both sides are not fully prepared.

It is therefore foreseeable that Wind Elf came to a standstill after suddenly launching an offensive.

But the trend of Leonin seems very strange.

Torquine is a tribal country. This country has two main races, Leonin and dwarves, and some ethnic groups of Beastmen or Lycanthropes. Leonin, dwarves, Beastmen, and Lycanthropes respectively form large and small clan and The tribes are scattered in the Great Plains and the high mountain in the north. They have kings, that is, the chiefs that are nominally recognized by all clans and tribes, and spiritual leaders, that is, the high priests of Holy Cathedral of Earth, or the prophets, in theory, in the chiefs and Under the call of the Prophet, these tribal peoples gathered together and decided to launch a Holy War, then it also represented that the golden kingdom already was ready for this war.

But now the situation is that Leonin, dwarf, Beastmen and Lycanthropes already have gathered together to form an army, but this army is stagnant. This situation is empire-proclaimed that Torquine people are not good at siege. Rocerch Highlands-Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses is a dangerous place with high walls and strong walls. Therefore, these barbarians are simply unable to launch an effective attack on the empire. They can only look forward to the wall and sigh. When the winter passes, they will naturally not be able to persist in returning to the division.

Most of the nobles who brought this information to Brando vowed to believe this. The Imperial Wall Gao Chengjian, unless it is an opponent of the same level like Saers, how can it break the empire fortress group? However, for these people who are blindly optimistic, Brando really wants to remind them that one of the fortresses of the empire was breached not long ago, and the person who captured the fortress is just a small country Lord Count. This Lord Count is now in front of you , Shouldn't anyone in your eyes also consider the occasion?

But in the end, he shook his head. The pride of the imperialists has a tradition, as if already had formed a deep-rooted concept. Once this concept is formed, it is basically the same as superstition and is inaudible. Different opinions.

However, he and Nemesis are very clear in private that Goldmane Leonin of Torquine is not good at siege, but there are high mountain dwarves in this army, and high mountain dwarves are a dwarf tribe living in the mountains in Vaunde. In fact, they only have existence. In the Broken Sword Mountain Range north of Holy Cathedral of Earth, Holy White Plain, they have settled here since their migration from the dark ages, digging the mountains and digging tunnels, and are good at building underground palaces and halls. They have considerable research on architecture and mechanics, that is, It is a craftsman and warrior. It is the army that is best at siege and especially good at digging tunnels.

These Kirrlutzians seem to ignore the craftsmen warrior who are best at siege.

As for another widely-spread statement, the Torquine army stagnated because it was subject to the winter supply line. In fact, it is nonsense. When have you heard that nomads and clan people need supply lines, they fight? But the habit of plundering along the line and self-raising on the spot, for such an army, they suddenly stopped to appear strange.

Brando looked at the map and looked at it, but at last he didn't figure it out.

But he thought of something else.

Historically, when Holy War was opened, the Leonin attack was fierce. It once broke through Rocerch Highlands-Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses. In the most important time, it almost endangered the battle of Akagi legion in Four Borders Plain. However, at that time, the players of the Empire were too fierce, and Shengsheng dragged the pace of Torquine Leonin northward with his body. It is said that it was the first time that players changed the historical process in game. You must know that the average player of that era was not level. More than Level 35, and the Torquine side also has a large player army. That battle can only be said that the players on the empire side are too united and too powerful.

Since then, Leonin has only been able to look far north of the Great Plain divided by Broken Sword Mountain Range and Anzeluta.

Brando is thinking at the moment whether this history will ever happen again.

Of course, he is not talking about the history of players repelling Leonin, but the history of Leonin breaking through Rocerch Highlands-Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses. As far as he knows, in the battle of Leonin breaking through Rocerch Highlands-Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses, the role played by Torquine players and It's limited, because the main force of the siege is the dwarf, and the dwarf is one of the races with the least number of players. After all, the Leonin is so powerful that players are favored by the players. , A race that cannot attract female players must not attract male players, this is the iron law of history.

The significance of this news to Brando's is that the smaller the historical disturbance, the more likely that Vaunde in this world will repeat itself.

But when he asked Nemesis about this possibility, he got a negative answer.

"It's almost three years ahead of the Holy War I've seen in my dreams, Brando," Female Knight looked at his face and replied, "This is because of us, you won't know this. One thing, the current situation is completely different from that of already at that time.

Brando doesn't think so. The time node of Holy War is advanced. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Torquine. The war mobilization speed of the clan people is very fast. It is a great advantage to not have to prepare logistics. Their liquidity is already strong on the prairie, but for the empire, it means less preparation time, so the current situation seems to be more favorable for Leonin than in history.

He made this point to Nemesis, but Female Knight shook his head: "It looks like this, but the actions of Leonin are very abnormal. They did not behave like this in previous wars. In that dream, it was even worse In this way, their battle to capture Rocerch Highlands-Broken Sword Mountain Range Fortresses was not very clean, but the whole process seemed very active, which is completely different from the current situation. "

Brando frowned when he heard this sentence. He knew that White Reed upperclasswoman was superior to Year of Spring Dawn's game history details. His understanding of that history came from the forum and later players ’memoirs A general statement, but for White Reed upperclasswoman, it is mostly a personal experience. One of the key differences is that before Level 30, the content and plot of game that players were exposed to was low grade, and upperclasswoman happened to be one of the few players above Level 30 in that era.

After listening to the description of Nemesis, he couldn't help but purs his lips, thinking about where the difference appeared.

Nemesis saw his thoughtful expression and reminded out loud: "Have you hit your mind on Leonin of Torquine?"

Brando nodded, and did not conceal Nemesis. These days, already is used to discussing such issues with this Female Knight, and it feels as if he has returned to the past, making him vaguely expect: "Kirrlutz players in history …… The adventurer of Kirrlutz, you know it ’s our humanoid, dragging Torquine ’s army to July until the white legion joins the battle. The war began in May, but it was at the turn of spring and summer, and in winter, Bai Zhi legion will be in the south of the country. Their response time may be faster. We only need to find a way to delay the pace of Leonin a little bit.

He paused and continued to answer: "My layout, you should also see that I need a certain Reputation. My grandfather's identity is a great advantage, but Brando is too young, young to almost It is impossible to inherit the status of Darus in the Imperial Army. Fortunately, his starting point is also high enough. People are always willing to believe in some superstitions. If I can perform just right to confirm some of their visions, then I still It is very hopeful that in the future Holy War army will get a relatively high position.

"According to Veronica, the situation in the empire is stormy, and history already is not the one you and I have seen in dreams, whether it is Her Majesty the Queen or Her Royal Highness, the military of Duke of Ludwig and Vanquer The forces are still Holy Cathedral, or we have to be able to determine the destiny of one's own if we want to take the lead in this game. The only way is to be a chess player instead of a chess piece. I was a little hesitant, but the encounter of Scarlett eventually Let me decide to embark on this path. I did think too naively before, thinking that Aouine can be a little bit safe and find a road belonging to one's own from the development of Black Forest. "

"But in fact, when the tide is coming, no one can hide it, you and I have witnessed this --"

"So there are some things that I have to do, and I have to do." Brando Shen Sheng replied: "The lesson for Southern nobles is just a start. I need them as a stepping stone to make the Empire understand Aouine's existence. But the only thing that really connects Brando and Sword Saint Darus is Holy War, but at present our strength is very small, it is impossible to find the Wind Elf's of Saers, and the only chance is only Torquine. "

Nemesis was silent for a while after listening to Brando's.

"You did this to save an mountain people little girl?" she asked suddenly.

"In terms of personal feelings," Brando replied: "It was as if you were planning to rescue us from Madara in Brunson. It lacks rationality, but it is natural for humanity. You save We, because you are our Commander, promised to protect your each members, and I rescued Scarlett, for the same reason, I promised her freedom and hope for the future, and I must do it. "

"This is an obsession." Nemesis listened to Brando's and moved his mouth. It seemed to be trying to find the second half of his words, because she understood that the "you" he heard meant her. A period of experience, but instinctively, the Female Knight did not agree with her that she thought it was just a dream for her. But this time, she finally did not export her rebuttal, and so replied.

"This obsession is the driving force behind my return to this world." Brando replied: "I don't want to give up the second time, upperclasswoman."

"I'm not ..." Nemesis finally sighed: "Well, I want to tell you a little bit, Brando, you are too dependent on everything you have ever seen in a dream, I don't know why you always It is so faithful to that dream, as if it had really happened. But after all, dreams are dreams. For me, the greatest help to me is to give me a different life experience and let me mature quickly, Stand out from my peers, but I never thought of what to prove from this dream to hit seal, because then the world would be too illusory for me. "

"And when I am with you, it ’s like seeing another me. You are always very forward-looking, but the more you rely on that dream, the more you ca n’t get rid of it. This is for you -- For a Thane For an imperial Count ... "

Female Knight looked at Brando's's eyes, paused, and replied word by word: "It seems too childish."

Brando was completely stunned there. He never thought that Nemesis would say such a thing to him, but the tone of the other person, already was exactly like he once taught him how to become a qualified Commander. That person.

"But ..." he replied.

Nemesis seemed to have expected what he was going to say, and shook his head: "You already know what to do, Sophie."

Brando froze there as if smashed by a lightning, looking at Female Knight like a demon.

"It's just that Correct depends on that dream, so you can't trust your one's own judgment," Nemesis shook his head, and changed his name again: "Do you understand now?"

Brando stayed for a long while, as if only to understand the meaning of Female Knight, he took a deep look at the other side: "What do you mean, I should analyze what Leonin of Torquine will do?"

"Did you not analyze well just now? I used to teach you how to analyze quest / mission and how to arrange quest / mission's pace. Today I can at least see that you have learned already well," Nemesis smiled slightly: "If I am your White Reed upperclasswoman, then I should be very relieved, but unfortunately I am not. And you are not Sophie, Brando, you have more knowledge than Sophie, you are Aouine's Lord Count, you should be able to understand This. "

Brando deeply breathed in.

He turned his gaze back on the map.

"Okay, I understand," he replied softly: "In short, we are still prioritizing to arrange quest / mission. Since the guest already arrives first, we, as the host, naturally cannot neglect the guest. This is Aouine. noble should have the grace. "

Nemesis nodded: "Correct is so."

In the last ten days of Month of Winter Chords, the eyes of the entire empire focused on a war that was both unexpected and expected. On this day, the army of Jean Count and Orkens Count gathered finally reached Floating Cloud Hills. (To be continued. Please search for floating astronomy, novels are better and faster!)
