The Amber Sword: Act 72 The approaching hunch
Premonition that the Seventy-second Act is approaching
In the cold weapon era, a war is often not as optimistic as people think.
Before coming into contact with such face-to-face killings, it is difficult for people living in peaceful times to speculate on the gauntlet of those who falter on the battlefield. The battle was a bit of cold. How did the sturdy and sharp blade insert into the throat, let the blood splatter, blend into the night --, the dying man struggled hard, and stared at the last scene he could see with his weak eyes. It should be a picture that is gradually dimming and still.
The wounded man coughed hoarsely as blood foam swelled into the lung lobe, curled up and died tragically.
But there are still many people who take it for granted that the scenes in the novel and the drama are replaced with real killings, just like the first players in Amber Sword and the latecomers. Of course at that time Brando also had an identity called 'Sophie'. He remembered that the first of his past game belonged to one's own, and the real battle was funny and ridiculous.
Unexpectedly, the two forces opposed each other. It was a -- Deldetar forest in a similar thick woods. Brando still remembers that place, densely forested, winding along the steep and rugged coastline, the opponent is hidden between the cliffs, through the caves that lead in all directions and their hide-and-seek slave merchants and their private army.
Because the real confrontation actually happened between the elite scout and the big army systematic of -- players opened a beautiful skirmish line in the jungle. Their number is about three times or even more than that of the slave personal soldiers. some. However, the balance of victory and defeat in real confrontation does not necessarily depend on the number of players. The beginning of the battle is accompanied by the chaos of the players. This is a matter of course. -- members and organizers cannot find each other. Most people can only Form a squad to fight each other.
The players were attacked on both wings for several hours, but thousands of people in the center were only delayed by a small cavalry.
Yes, most people understand that flanks are under attack.
But the problem is.
Where is scout?
Where is the wing?
When you are located on a huge cold weapon era battlefield with a length of several kilometers, you will find that overlooking the entire battlefield at a forty-five degree angle is not only a happy thing, but also A hope beyond hope.
Brando deeply remembers that at the time, he was in a forest surrounded by his own people, surrounded by various flags -- belonged to Guild, personal, Knight, attendant, swallowtail, square flag No one understands what that means.
Most people, including him, can only be swarmed forward, and follow the crowd blindly for several hours. Occasionally encountered a small group of slave personal soldiers, all of them swarmed up, like a bamboo shoot, at the beginning, players were excited, and thought that their already victory was in sight. But later, if you overlook the battlefield at this moment, you will find that this huge team is already torn apart.
Two or three professional mercenarys are interspersed in the middle of this torn piece of cake, emptying it like a tapeworm.
When it gets late, already is the banner of the enemy in all directions --
Recalling that war, the battle --, which was later dubbed the 'Deldetar Massacre', in fact, this name vividly describes the situation of more than 1,700 players who were originally assembled by three Guild. There is no doubt that these players are extremely brave warrior. Even in the end, they each formed a squad and fought hard, but of course the whole army was annihilated.
In fact, the real irony is that throughout the morning and afternoon, the results of the players' games have not yet reached the night, and the damage caused to the slave traders after the war is large.
Brando Thinking of that battle was not only an embarrassing wry smile, but also a cold sweat. After that, until the subsequent Bucce war (during the second War of Black Rose), players gradually learned lessons and learned how to arrange the battlefield -- which flags they needed. How to identify which Knight noble army belongs under a banner from odd shaped strange badges. Players also learn to place the battlefield on a flat gentle **** below a high ground, so that their Commander will be ten kilometers in radius. A panoramic view of the battlefield.
It's like ‘Maned Wolf' Makarov now.
Of course, the battle between Mercenary and the bandits is far from war. However, the battle in thick woods is different, and Brando tightened the reins to prevent the thick bushes from stabbing the horses from restlessness. When he turned around, he saw some figures in the forest wearing green capes and holding large pomelo-painted bows. flashes And over. If it were ordinary people, I am afraid that these guys would not be able to detect it at all.
Of course those are not Lizardmen, Brando thinks that Lizardmen in the Barlow Mound forest should be one of the jungle lizards. Although their granular skin with fine scales is also dark green, these short creatures are not as big and burly as mountain people. . Without a doubt, those are the best hunters -- Archer Who Sprints Through Forest in mountain people.
This is the title given to them by Kirrlutzian that invaded the place that year. This title seemed to the soldiers of the Empire more than two hundred years ago as Spectre wandering above this forest, but it is an honor for mountain people Title. It means the fastest hunter, the most accurate shooter, the best ranger.
"I don't know where Makarov found these ranger," Brando unconsciously tapped the metal ornament on the reins, thinking silently. He certainly heard these ‘one of the most outstanding rangers of mankind’ names. In fact, in the past, or in the future, he has fought a period of time alongside these ranger. Maybe it ’s not too long, but it ’s enough to leave a deep impression. "Did they have been wandering in this area for a long time?"
With the excellent ranger, Mercenary Company is much easier to work with.
Obviously, Maned Wolf has quite a set of -- in dealing with opponents.
In fact, Brando knows that in a time of chaos in law and order, mercenaries is far more familiar with their opponents who are traveling everywhere than the latter is familiar with them.
This is the case of member of 'Grey Wolf' Mercenary Company. Their already is not the first or second time to do this kind of work. It is common to hire mercenary to fight against the thieves group entrenched in the wild. Things, and the more famous Mercenary, the more abundant experience. And ‘Maned Wolf' Makarov will naturally not be a member of the unknown family.
According to Brando's own view, if the player has to deal with the Thief group, the best idea is naturally to pull out the opponent's nest once and for all. He took a look at the layout of Makarov, and realized that the other party's approach was also close to what he thought. However, they also have an advantage. already determines the location of the Lizardmen tribe. Barlow Mound's silver Elven ruins requires a lot of trouble for outsiders to find it, but it is easy for locals and mountain people hunters.
WBrando was a little hesitant at the beginning. He wasn't sure if he had to join the other party to take risks. After all, he could hire someone to follow him personally and wait for the plane. However, there are some risks in doing so, and rashly following behind a Mercenary Company can be regarded as a serious provocation, which may cause unnecessary misunderstanding. youngster is unwilling to make extra branches, so it was thought to use the existing provisions on Mercenaries' code.
But now it seems that he did not expect that there are so many forest wearing people under Makarov. This is an unexpected delight. Of course, it also reminded him that it was fortunate that he didn't act according to the ‘a’ plan, otherwise how could the general guide not be found in front of the forest wearer.
He couldn't help but look at Makarov and Buga.
‘Maned Wolf' Makarov and Buga are both holding their faces. They deliberately let Brando see the Archer Who Sprints Through Forest under their hands. The Brando team of fifteen people in the center of the team is almost like a time bomb, like a man on his back.
Of course, if you can choose, Makarov will definitely choose to throw Brando directly. In fact, Buga already gave him such a gesture more than once.
But Makarov finally shook his head.
He touched the scar on his face, and the "grey wolf" Mercenary cannot be sorry for the overall honor of this group. Although many Mercenary Companys do this, -- even includes some large Mercenary Companys that are now well-known, and they may not have them in the past. How glorious. But he and Buga actually understand that their group department is the same.
The two men glanced at each other, and they thought of youngster of Ike.
"Ike is still in town?" Makarov asked.
Buga little bit.
"Forget it, let him go. It's not his fault," the red-haired middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately we can't talk to him too much."
"He is also for your good."
"He saw the **** on the side of the card, but we didn't know that we knew it already. Drake was counting us, so why did the idiot know that we were counting him." Makarov disdainfully biased. Head: "But the real trouble now is not the guy, but the youngster in the team. I am now sure that already is not a group with the card, but this does not reduce my worry much."
"It's really ironic, you understand." Maned Wolf said infrequently.
Buga feels the same.
But Brando doesn't understand how much trouble his arrival has caused to two future big men. About 70 people in their field went straight to the silver Elven ruins in the forest. If they can strike a sneak attack, it is best. If not, it is estimated that this work will last for several days. Banditry in the forest is not something that happens overnight.
It's just that he is riding on a horse, but thinking of something else.
He remembered the strategy guide post on the forum again, but he couldn't figure out when ‘Maned Wolf' Makarov was related to a Mercenary Company called "Grey Wolf", shouldn't it be "Mountain Blue"? The kind of light purple flower blooming among the mountains of Southern Territory. What is the symbol of using that flower as the emblem of Mercenary Company? He suddenly shook his head to shake the irrelevant thought out of his mind, and then seemed to flash across the dark sky and the sea. He seemed to be splashed with icy water from scratch, remembering the connection between the noun and the previous word.
Grey Wolf Mercenary Company! By the way, Grey Wolf Mercenary Company!
Brando raises head, I feel that the surrounding forests are stained with a strange color. It turned out to be a simple clear thieves quest / mission, but now it seems that something is wrong.
Theoretically, at Grey Wolf Mercenary Company, he saw more than 70 member. Among them, the Black Iron level accounts for more than half, and one fifth is silver level, and Archer Who Sprints Through Forest. Such a team clears Lizardmen thieves in more than one hundred heads of Level 20, what strategy guide is needed there. But there must be something wrong here.
Brando just whispered breathed in and heard Amandina asking later.
"Why are you arranging people there? This is unusual." He could think of damsel frowning almost without looking back.
"What do you know, little girl." This was the voice of Redi.
Brando immediately sketched a bad face.
