The Amber Sword: Act 4 Darkness Spread

The Fourth Act of Darkness Spreads

Sophie's plans are like this.

If his memory is correct, at this time Bucce's guard Captain should be the famous veteran -- Marden, a veteran who has experienced November War like his grandfather Brando's.

Sophie knows he is because this NPC will teach [Exploration] skill to travelers in game.

But the veteran is really famous because he made a huge mistake as the Bucce's local guard Captain in the first War of Black Rose, and he judged that the Madara army was wrong.

He thought that the other party was just an invasion as always, so he moved Bucce's villagers from the beginning. He had a chance to fight back and repel Undead Army's vanguard, then retreat calmly.

Unfortunately, this opportunity missed him.

He should have been a hero of the kingdom, but in the end he took another bleak path. For such a person, Sophie is both lamented and curious.

I lament the situation of the latter half of my life, but I was curious how the other party discovered Madara's Undead Army's in advance at the beginning? You know this is the the only one variable for the entire Golan-Elsen area.

"Is could it be that because of myself?" Suddenly an impossible thought came to mind in Sophie.

But he immediately threw the absurd idea out of his mind.

Now he wants to change history, he has to find a way to remind each other. Fire, which symbolizes warning and invasion in military regulations, Sophie can only expect the other party to be sufficiently awake --

The door slammed, and the minutes passed by as if immersed in a tense atmosphere.

"Brando, they have to come in!" Romaine clutched the masonry hammer with both hands, she frowned and stared at the kitchen door, for fear it might be accidentally knocked open.

Sophie didn't have time to think about this at all, and the skeleton soldiers would be dead as soon as they rushed in. But when he heard the shout of miss merchant, he couldn't help looking back at the door:

The door of the kitchen makes a squeaking noise, which keeps the sword in and out, and the Madara's sharp sword is as clear as the fangs of a beast. Something outside slammed into the door with a loud noise, and a layer of gray fell on the roof.

The creaking and grating moan was issued on the wooden door, and the cracks expanded a lot --

"Calm, calm, just treat it as game. Sophie, think about the quest / mission you experienced, this time it is not much ..."

He tried to inhale and calm his heart, while wrapping the cloth soaked with oil in a bunch of straw and firewood, and then tightened with rubber bands. He is familiar with this, and self-made torches are a skill that cannot be more basic in game, although not even basic skills.

The conditions are more abundant. He also knows how to make a torch that can only burn for five minutes, remembering that he tried it once with dry lichens and bushes in the tunnels of Nocan and Hain.

But there was not much time left for him, and soon the door trembled again. The door frame uttered a crackling sound, the lime splattered, and then fell down one after another.

"Brando --!" Romaine felt that her heart was about to come out of her throat, and she blinked her bright eyes.

"I'm here, don't worry, just hold on for a while." Sophie He was sweating so much that he saw several times on the vermiculite with an iron bar, sparks Jump around, but just light the torch --

After all, there are some differences between reality and game.

The huge strength of the skeleton soldier first made the latch unbearable. kā chā broke away from it, and the wooden door tilted, but there was still no opening.

A bare boned hand came in from the outside, intending to break the latch from the inside.

The girl merchant was frightened. She immediately lifted the hammer and smashed it, but slammed the hammer on the bone and only opened a crack in it. -- Madara's The skeleton soldier didn't feel any pain. It just stopped a little, then Continue to pull the latch again.

Romaine Seeing this scene, for a moment stayed for a while, forgetting the hammer in his hand.

"Brando, Brando, what to do ..." she asked a little nervously immediately.

At this time, the firelight finally lit up.

The latch also fell to the top in at the same time, kuāng dāng.

The door was opened. The skeleton soldier with a portable sword outside opened the door and stepped in. It turned his head, and two pulsating red flames in the eyes of the black hole locked the two pale youngsters.

What is that youngster doing?

Before it responded, a black object already in undead's gray field of vision became bigger and bigger, and immediately kǎ cā inserted a hatchet into its forehead.

"... This is your last move. Remember to keep your hands steady and the center of gravity low when throwing the sword out. Don't hesitate to make a straight line between you and your target ..."

"... If your enemy is a skeleton, then your best goal is to choose the connection between Shoulder Blades and the arm, the thigh root or spine; unless you are sure to hit your head with a single blow, its skull is not Its biggest weakness ... "

"damn --!"

Sophie looked at the skeleton soldier leaning backwards, couldn't help but know that [Throw] skill in curse -- Military Swordsmanship is a profound skill, but it is not a problem for a Veteran Warrior. -- is just a hatchet thrown away , Sophie suddenly remembered that already is not that veteran.

game The knife with his power was lost in the past. I am afraid that the skull will be divided into two pieces directly along the skull, but now it is like Brando in militia What you have learned in training is at most slightly hindered -- The hatchet inserted in the forehead has nothing to do with the overall structure of a bone shelf. damage .

"Romaine Young Lady, be careful!" Seeing that the other party was about to stand up again immediately, he immediately pulled the stunned miss merchant behind his back.

"Brando ..." miss merchant was terrified.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Sophie said so, but in fact, he didn't know, especially when he saw a dense crowd of skeleton soldiers behind him.

In such a critical situation, he can't care so much. Looking around, there is really nothing to use. But the bone shelf already is going to stand up, what should I do? Just give up so blindly?

Sophie shook his head. He swears that he has never lived and died like -- since he was a child. Of course, those experience in game is not --. He only feels blank in his heart, and only succeeds if he does not succeed!

He rushed up, gritted his teeth, grabbed the other's arm holding the sword, and then almost subconsciously suddenly threw the bone rack backwards.

People tend to use subconsciously at their tense moments, and the bone rack is unable to resist when it is out of balance. It makes a gurgling sound and falls to the rear, with a skeleton soldier behind it, retreat.

Madara's undead flooded into this room for a moment, but for a moment, but that's enough.

youngster couldn't help but feel confused, he could hardly believe that he had succeeded. This is a reality. Is he really the game nerd that is useless?

His subconsciously tossed the torch in the other hand to the fire, such as dried straw, leather products and firewood, which had been piled up in the corner.

The flame rises as soon as --

"Let's run, Brando!" miss merchant ran up from behind and grabbed his hand.

She doesn't think she has been so nervous since she was a child. I remember when I first saw the youngster next door, it was more than a year ago. I just felt that the other party was a little shy and talked well.

But today, the ordinary youngster has shown extraordinary calmness and bravery. Is the temperament shown at this critical moment the ‘reliable man’ muttered by her aunt?

It feels strange, --

The girl couldn't help but have some inexplicable thoughts in her heart. She noticed that she could not help but pound when she caught the other's wrist.

"Brando?"

The smoke already permeated, and the kitchen was full of smoky smell.

Sophie This is just a wake up. Martha above, he even burned his grandfather's old house with a fire. Brando must not finish eating this time and take --. Although he is now Brando.

His head is chaotic, but the Brando's memory still prevails in the chaos.

However, a dry, low voice came from behind the smoke: "Faster, soldiers of the dead. Extinguish the fire and poke out that bug, we have only one minute --"

This voice reminds youngster that he is in danger and must find a way to escape his birth. However, Sophie knows that low level undead driven by Soul Fire is instinctively afraid of flames. It may be difficult for Lich to let his skeletons overcome this in a short time, so now it is his turn.

Flame is a double-edged sword. He must be seize the moment.

"Romaine Young Lady, follow me." Sophie tore off a roll of sausage from the ceiling, and took miss merchant towards the back door. This is not his shame, the basic food reserve before the escape has formed a subconscious instinct for the players in Amber Sword almost already.

The fire already is getting bigger and bigger, and it is surrounded by a sea of ​​fire. The smoke is diffused and the temperature rises extremely fast. However, Sophie quickly touched the small door -- in the memory to push the food and locked it.

Sophie coughed, and the miss merchant already behind him coughed very badly. He calmed down and groped again, and immediately found the metal latch. He was about to open it, but hesitated immediately.

He remembered another thing.

...

"Freya!"

Perhaps for residents living in the mountains of Elsen-Golan, there is not much difference between the stars in April and the skies in May. Only from the end of May, the temperature gradually recovered. Looking down from the gentle **** of the Usson mountain range, it has been a sea of ​​red and white flowers since early summer. In the peaceful era, here is the most peaceful and peaceful countryside of the entire Aouine. , But has been devastated by war for hundreds of years.

Girl raises head, summer night, the sky is as clear as crystal, from -- from west to east, a bright light band runs through the night sky, through many constellations in those myths and legends.

She is standing at the entrance of the village and looking up at the side of the mountain. Freya is a bit worried. The loud noise before is particularly disturbing. Did n’t you say that there was a undead movement nearby, wasn't it ...

When she heard the shout, she turned her head and was surprised to see a childish teenager running out of the village entrance, panicking to her, bending down and panting.

"What's wrong, Little Phineas, is there something wrong?" The girl's voice was soft and clear.

"Did you hear that voice just now?"

"Well, so I came out to look at it," she could not help but glance towards that side of the hillside again, "I'm really worried about Romaine, she has also gone to a nearby town ... I heard that it's not safe recently, I asked her to come to my house for two days, but she didn't agree. "

Juvenile raises head came to look at her, could not help but stare --

The girl ’s light brown long hair is concisely formed into a long ponytail behind her head. It is set against a full of British style. She is wearing a close-fitting grey leather armour, which is a thick cotton shirt with a left shoulder. With an armband -- on it, an abstract pine leaf is painted with black paint.

She also has a dagger, a medieval Western European dagger, and a flame emblem on the iron plate of the sword guard.

If Sophie can recognize the other person ’s dress -- Bucce's militia at a glance. Golan black pine is the most common tree species in the Elsen-Golan mountain area, and it is also the emblem of army in Bucce.

However, the guards are well-equipped and equipped with jerseys. Only the local militia will wear this off-white leather armor with gray mane fur.

In Aouine, each youths will receive militia training on a regular basis. This training usually starts at the age of fourteen and is conducted every year at between October and March. It will not end until the age of nineteen. And trained young people and even adults can serve as militia at any time in peacetime and become the most important reserve source in wartime. Therefore, since the Year of the Thunder promulgated this decree, militia training has become one of the most important military initiatives of Aouine.

"Wasn't that kid living over there? I heard he used to be militia in Bruglas." The teenager asked in a puzzled manner.

"Well, the talents in the city are not trustworthy," the girl drew back her long ponytail, and could not help frowning: "Correct because the guy is there, I won't be relieved!" /

"You are prejudiced, sister Freya."

"What do you know ... forget it," the young girl said without looking back: "Well, let's talk about something, don't boys know how to talk like a girl!"

Little Phineas narrowed his neck: "Did you know, Captain Marden already ordered the guards to gather!"

Freya's pair of bright big eyes flashed a little surprise: "Captain Marden? How do you know?"

"The guy from Bretton told me," Little Phineas blinked and replied: "When I came out, he already rode to the police to report to the police."

"Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know." The boy shook his head.

The girl turned back, glanced in the direction of the hillside with some worries, and in the darkness she could only dimly see the outline of the manor.

"Call everyone, we will go too."

"Freya, so late, Sia will kill us!" The boy widened his eyes and asked incredulously, "Let's wait for the news tomorrow?"

"I'm so timid!" The girl couldn't help but stare at the other side, but she also knew that Little Phineas was telling the truth, and remembered her cowardly deterrent power --. Don't look at her or Bucce's militia Captain, but she didn't dare to do it casually.

"You're not the same ..." The boy just murmured, but saw that the other person turned back and gave himself a serious snoring gesture.

"Freya?"

"Boo --" The girl turned her head and made a gesture of "listening". There was a clear whining sound in the dark.

"What's that sound?"

Whine already from far to near, fast overhead.

The girl's complexion changed. She just wanted to avoid already That's too late in raises head. A dark shadow pierced into the shoulder from the air and made her scream backward.

"Boss-neesama --!"

"Run, Little Phineas, run!" the ponytail girl shouted in pain.

The arrow is raining.

...

Sophie stopped.

"What's wrong, Brando ... cough cough?" The future teenage businessman probably felt abnormal and couldn't help asking.

Sophie didn't answer, he remembered something.

When Madara launched the raid, it was in game. In game, the player must not be able to bypass the player. The player will not work like sunrise and sunset like NPC. It can even be said that quite a few of them are veritable. nocturnal creature.

He remembers that when he started the operation in Madara, he also encountered player interference elsewhere. -- is just like him, but most of the Madara's operations were successful.

Why?

Yes, he finally remembers an era when Aouine, an ancient country, is heading towards the twilight, and its neighbors are ushering in such an era, a time of ups and downs.

Gather the nebula ...

Sophie cannot be lamented. Madara in this era is not only the endless succession of legendary generals with fame continent in the future, but also thanks to the military change seven years ago (368 years, the reform of the black rose) -- This change has created a solid for it On the basis of it, a steady stream of outstanding apprentices are supporting the country's war power from the bottom.

And this power will eventually manifest itself in such a war.

In the first War of Black Rose, the strong execution and judgment of the Madara army was enough to make everyone surprised, but unfortunately, there was no real vigilance until the death of Aouine.

Correct.

The kingdom in darkness is on the rise, and it will soon be like a sky.

"These guys are not ordinary."

As a deadly opponent over the years, Sophie is particularly impressed by the outstanding Madara low level NCO. The savvy of the other party will only be clear to those who have been fighting for a long time. --

Sophie's put his hand on the icy door latch, and his heart cooled down a little bit. When he closed the door, the other party should already launch an attack on Bucce in advance. --. They will not provide him with an alarm time in the village. Just possibility.

Maybe there will be Madara's skeleton soldiers behind this door.

What to do?
