The Amber Sword: Act 22 Expansion (3)
The twenty-second act expansion (three)
The sky is getting a little bit late, and the sunset of the sky penetrates half of the sky like a radial, the cirrus cirrus clouds are burning, from a line of bright gold on the horizon to a blue-violet overhead and then again Gradually turned dark blue, and went all the way to the east to become a dull gloom.
This cloud light seems to herald the good weather for the next few days, so that nature calms down, the sound of birds and birds in the mountains, and the whole forest becomes much quieter at sunset.
Scarlett stands alone next to Brando, the light of the eyes reflects a faint twilight, she looks at the Caranga Mountain Range of -- in the direction of Grahár Mountain and extends northward to surround the 'root system' of Fir Tree Barony. Aouine Beyond the margins of southern civilization, it extends to the eastern end of the blade in the Black Forest. According to legend, this mountain is the source of the Wealth of this land. There are countless treasures buried underground, such as silver --. In just a few days, she heard about already rumors about this huge silver vein, although it Only a small part is in Trentheim, but it is enough to let that Grudin squander.
But this mountain, which seems sacred and silent to the locals, now looks like a huge beast hidden in her eyes, although the towering rock reveals the treetop reflection in the sun. Golden light, but hidden secrets are hidden in the shadow of the forest.
The sawmill in the forest looks like a small round spot in the golden-red treetop after the autumn. Looking down from the hill, there don't seem to be many Troglodyte. However, this is not the case. These residents from Gorgon Ravine hollowed out the entire mountain, and the gaps under the rocks may have existence tunnel entrances and exits.
To enter the valley, it is difficult to avoid passing through these areas closely monitored by Troglodyte.
red haired girl went back again. It ’s been hours since Brando confirmed the plan. already has passed, but they have no further action except a few hundred feet along the valley. -- is actually a situation she has repeatedly urged. Below, the young Lord Thane reluctantly moved a lower rank.
Staying here for a few hours without moving, but Brando doesn't explain the reason, often just answering with a smile.
"This guy."
red haired girl didn't respond on the surface, but turned around and gently stabbed the roots of the black pine roots, thinking that since already confirmed the plan, what are you waiting for? Either that ‘capture the thief first capture the king’ or assassinate, anyway, what time do you have to wait ...
She frowned and didn't like the feeling of wasting time.
She turned around and saw that the Troglodytes underground in the forest below was coming out of the ground one by one. This is the second batch. The first batch of already that I saw earlier entered the forest: "They are going to meet first. , Or go straight to Horseshoe Grass Saw Mill? "
There are thousands of cave troopers in front. If you go straight to Horseshoe Grass Saw Mill, you may be ahead of time in advance in terms of time. In that case, can those mercenariess really support the middle of the night?
She was skeptical.
"I don't know." Brando's replied briefly.
He really didn't know. He was not a military genius, but he only had a better understanding of Troglodyte's habits. As for how the other party would decide, he really couldn't tell.
"So Lord Thane, the sun already is going down, don't you start talking about waiting for the evening?"
Brando was surprised: "I have said that?"
"Of course, you said at that time ..."
“Oh, "Brando interrupted her," That's because I just watched you impatient and let you relax. "
red haired girl stared at him with amber-colored eyes. Even with a good temper, he couldn't help showing his white tiger teeth.
"Sorry." Brando smiled slightly.
Scarlett kept silent, looking back to --. After all, Brando is Thane. She considers herself a subordinate, of course, her subordinates cannot question the meaning of Thane's. Therefore, although there are doubts, they can only be taken to heart.
It's just that Brando will explain ideas to her most of the time, and today she seems a bit abnormal.
But Brando doesn't want to say, but can't say. While smiling, he built tapped Lucilla's Bazaar in the Space he built, and 6 o'clock Wealth then remitted into all his resources. Since the night of the splurge, his Wealth already rose to 98 points in three days.
But compared to the consumption of already, he still couldn't help having a twitch in his rebate.
"Are you going to find the chief of the other side in the crypt below?" He thought for a while, and replied like this: "I am afraid that the tunnel of Troglodyte already hollowed out this mountain. If we go in, we may find it next year. Not to each other. "
"But you can't just wait like that." Scarlett complained.
"Well, rest assured, this is just a small tribe. In the tribe of about 3,000 people, Tribe Leader is often a witch doctor." Brando replied: "To deal with the official wizard of human beings, he must do it himself."
"When will you wait?"
"It depends on the prudence of the other party." Brando replied: "It will not exceed a short time after the moon rises."
"Can Troglodyte be blocked there for so long?" Scarlett couldn't help asking.
"I believe in Amandina," Brando raises head: "I gave her already, the rest depends on whether mercenaries is really willing to stand with us. But if not, they also have a self-protection method -- but in fact It is not important to let go of Horseshoe Grass Saw Mill. This skirmish won the already in the battle in the afternoon. "
"What do you mean?"
"Look at it." Brando smiled slightly: "I want more than victory."
...
The moon quickly rose into the sky.
In the air of the Horseshoe Grass logging field at night, there seems to be a quiet smell, but this does not conceal a ample experience Mercenary. When Jutta patrols the wooden wall, it has keenly sniffed out the hidden wind. Unusual taste.
scout of Troglodyte may be already.
She raised her hand with frown subconsciously, her fingers *** in the long red hair behind her right ear, combed back against the wind that was getting colder under the night. Then he moved down with his left hand and called for a few Mercenarys to let them go into the forest to investigate.
But her actions obviously caught the attention of others in the camp. Rose and Wine Mercenary Company Commander Kalun raises head took a look here, then calmly turned back, and continued to silently supervise the people under her arm with one hand to dig out one in the camp. Gully -- This is not a trench, but a precautionary measure taken to prevent the Troglodyte from assaulting from the ground.
As for the burly Head Commander Fern, it was also silent, and made a gesture to let the one's own person board the wooden wall.
mercenaries behaves as systematic and is rich in experience, which makes Amandina sighed in relief patrolling around the camp. damsel checked around the logging yard, and accompanied by two Wild Elf sisters, took the skirt step by step and walked to the wooden wall.
She first looked at Jutta standing under the moonlight.
"Did you find anything?" Amandina asked.
Jutta turned back, and it seemed not to be surprised to see this Young Lady, but turned away from the cold: "There is something in the forest, maybe Troglodyte, but also other beasts, I already let people see It's over. "
"Troglodyte?" Amandina was a little surprised inside, but did not say on the face: "Come so fast?"
"Maybe," the female mercenary commander emphasized.
"What happens?" damsel gently breathed in, calmed himself and asked, "Does this mean that Troglodyte moves quickly, Commander Jutta? Also, can you judge their reaction speed? And between the military Coordination situation? "Although she is well-known, she only felt that the paper was superficial after following Brando a period of time. In the face of these sophisticated Mercenary, often the mutual verification between experience and knowledge would be very beneficial, so Amandina read Jutta asked humbly after a glance.
Jutta also glanced at her. For the first time, I felt that this little girl was not so annoying. Although she was a little deep-hearted, she saw more of the so-called noble offspring, and once she accepted it, she didn't find it strange.
"Ten Thousands Transformation on the battlefield, there is rarely certain information," female mercenary commander shook his head, and the red hair shook like a flame. "It may be the Troglodyte that was left for surveillance before, or it may be The scout came later. If the former possibility indicates that the opponent's combat literacy is high, I will not be willing to entangle with such guys if possible; but the latter indicates that the opponent's overall reaction and coordination ability are superhuman. Wait a minute, then the fighting in the next few days will be very difficult ... "
"And at least explain," Jutta added: "scout can cross the forest in such a short period of time, and the individual quality is not outstanding.
"What do you think it is, Commander Jutta."
"In terms of experience," female mercenary commander replied, "I prefer the latter."
"What is experience."
"experience is very important, Amandina Young Lady, especially when you are not sure what, experience is like an intuition that is more reliable than your knowledge. --" Jutta answered while *** lips looked forward *** The forest was startled by a bird, which shows that mercenaries and Troglodyte turned in each other and were expelling each other. She narrowed her eyes: "It seems my guess is correct, and your Lord Thane is not an ordinary person."
"What?" Amandina looked back.
"If the scout arrives at this time, it means that the big army is also near," Jutta replied, "but the timing of the offense must be delayed, the real fierce battle will continue until the middle of the night, that little guy ... … Oh, sorry! Lord Thane seems to know these underground guys quite well. "
"He knows more than that." Amandina replied quietly, looking at the moon.
“Oh？”
