The Amber Sword: Time Node ii of Act 69Holy War


In Vaunde, the day of Sabbath is used as a dividing line in each year, which marks the arrival of the end of the year. Whether it is commoner or noble, there will be gradually reduced outing activities after this day, whether it is work or private Travel; as if the hustle and bustle throughout the year has quieted down during this month, people began to hold various celebrations and banquets from the oldest to the newest, from the northernmost ten-arm city to the Aouine Southern Territory border Silman, Fortress Fir area, every household Begin preparations and prayers for the coming year, and pray for the gods to bless the new year with a calm and smooth journey and everything goes well.

But as if since Year of Sword At the end of the year Aouine Wang Guohe Kirrlutz Empire Since a trivial clash on the border, a farce has officially Kirrlutz The south border is staged from south to north, breaking the peace that should have been in the past; from Moon of Hoar Frost At first, people seemed to get used to the news that one after another came from the south, starting with Aouinian Captured the fortress of the empire, one from Aouine's Lord Count Try to challenge the majesty of the empire. In subsequent rumors, however, this Lord Count Becoming the axiom again, what he did in the Black Sword Barrier was only for some arrogant noble Also in color -- In this year and month, Kirrlutzian The sense of pride has not been reduced to the need to show superiority in a small country. On the contrary, the demeanor of a large country makes the citizens of the empire pay more attention to moral legitimacy and legitimacy -- So they are more willing to stand emotionally Brando On the one side, go to those arrogant, stubborn, rigid empires that usually dominate noble Image stunned with the enemy, so Brando With every victory, in the Empire ’s commoner Hierarchy, even lower noble In the midst of it was an applause.

‘Just give a lesson to those noble masters and let them understand. ’

This is the common view of almost all the people below the empire. This is not to say that already, the upper empire of the empire, is disappointing. The pyramid structure will be shaken. As long as Brando shakes its arms, the empire will fall apart. The above mentality is mostly a matter of irrelevance and gloat. This kind of counterattack is always a popular act of commoner. Of course, it is not ruled out that a small number of conspirators are so impatient and even planned a few small rebellions, but these unfortunate mans that misjudged the situation were instead seized by The Silver Queen and organized several actions to clear up their dissidents. In this regard, the supreme one of the empire really thanks Brando.

So the empire's south is unprecedentedly bustling, but the center of the empire has never been more stable.

Regardless, whether willing or unwilling, Brando and his envoy continue to advance northward, and rumors about the Lord Count are still converging from the empire center in all directions.

The last day of Month of Winter Chords, the Saers's Sumian Festival, which is called the day of recovery celebrations in other areas, Brando defeated the noble private army that was standing in front of itself, a famous Knights Summer Solstice Knights composed of local squire children, And after the Anzeluta local defense legion led by Jean Count and Orkens Count, the scale of the group already suddenly expanded from the original medium of one hundred people to a large caravan of hundreds. In addition to the carriage of the group itself, behind the team There are also dozens of large caravans, all of which are imprisoned empires noble, old and young, and most have names in history. This 'hostage' caravan started with only one or two carriages, but every time it passed After a battle, it is often necessary to add one or two cars, and eventually the scale of the current long queue is formed.

For these empires noble and Brando, they did not embarrass them, at least to keep them at least decent, and even allow them to keep attendants and follow --. Of course, the scope of these followers is limited to running errands and preparing points for their masters. Eat and drink to solve the problem of cold protection and daily life. In this way, Brando does not even need to worry about the rations of these captives, and they have to solve it by themselves. Of course, some hard-liners are not ruled out. Those who want to cause him trouble, and those who would rather starve to consume the rations of the Brando mission, he has a very simple method to deal with, and to provide basic basics After rations, after those guys didn't eat two hard breads, they went to tears to contact the one's own attendants.

Brando Don't worry that these people will run away, caravan Nearby wizards Twenty-four hours Magic Alert, airborne Gargoyle Patrol, how far can ordinary people run in this snow-covered wild mountain? At first there were so few people trying to escape, Brando They did n’t even stop them, but in the next few days those few unfortunate man It's cold and hungry, as if it were a savage. caravan In China, I voluntarily continued to be a captive, Brando Deliberately relaxed about these unfortunate man in caravan The surveillance in China passed through their mouths, and soon everyone knew what happened to them, and it also had a good deterrent effect for a while.

The second climax of the escape came from the envoy passing through the relatively prosperous area near Russef. The successful escape of several nobles seemed to inject hundreds of captives into the entire caravan. A large-scale escape operation began. Every evening, people fleeing caravan were endless, but they were arrested almost without exception. Then the undefeated empire noble began to contact the people outside caravan through one's own followers, and launched another campaign to save the hostages.

As for the whole process, it is full of noble-style wisdom and whimsical. For example, the passing circus invited Brando and Lord Count to visit, or the damsel who was in trouble asked him for help from a foreigner. Some of the romantic colors of Knights are even called Brando. But as for the results, after Brando learned a few lessons fiercely posing as thieves, businessmen, women, Mercenary, noble family members and even the Noble Knight of the circus member, Unsurprisingly, the caravan caravan behind the mission was added again.

After one month's visits and visits, the empire nobles finally realized that their futile escape plans would not work in the eyes of Brando. Although the Lord Count seems to be only twenty years old, but He is as shrewd as the old Mercenary Company Commander who has walked on continent all his life. Those camouflage and sneaky tricks used by adventurers, Mercenary and Nightingale are similar to him. Of course, they did not expect that Brando was teaching these whimsical ones Guys, while laughing, these people even play these things with him. -- This is the thing he played badly in his last life. The player's adventurers played in the next half of the world are more wonderful than these childish nobles There are so many things that they didn't even think about.

There is a famous case in Second Era. In order to ambush the Mountain King Charlefengre, a player hardly used Illusion spell to create an identical rock mountain fortress in a place less than five miles away from Aliciana, and then used the barrier class spell to remove the entire Aliciana from the map. The shield disappeared, and no one expected that someone would play such a big trick under the eyes of countless people, even the famous NPC such as Shanwang Charlefengre. If it wasn't for the player's guild at that time, I am afraid that the great cause of killing Charlefengre would have to be completed. It can be seen that the trick of these nobles is really boring and boring in the eyes of Brando.

He, Sophie, has been on and off for Commander for almost 30 years in game in the last life. This is not a particularly outstanding experience among game players, but it is very good in NPC. This qualification may not even be Veteran Mercenary such as Fern, Jutta.

Not to mention that there is an older Commander, Nemesis, and Female Knight beside him. Although he is not willing to recognize her one's own status, this does not prevent her from playing one's own experience.

Two people often study these noble tricks in a carriage all night, and the result is that certain unfortunate mans are eaten to death.

Leaving Rutherf, the ambassadors began to gradually leave the realm of Anzeluta. At this time, some of the small noble families in the long caravan finally could not carry it, and they began to make redemption requests one after another. Brando is not particularly embarrassed. After receiving the money, he generously let go. This generosity has earned him a reputation among some small nobles. Rumors about Kojimon Sword Saint and crazy Count are not as bad as they were at the beginning. . Of course, this is just one thing. On the other hand, those nobless released by Young Lady O'Neill under his will have finally started to play a role. With their jealous propaganda, the Brando's status has successfully become a different rule and unwelcome from a foreign country. A stranger has evolved into a big Devil King image.

The fact that they are so propaganda is nothing wrong, after all, if they do not describe Brando as insidious and deceitful, and how good at playing with people, wouldn't it seem that these guys caught by him are very incompetent? After all, losing to a strong opponent may indicate that you are weak and incompetent. Losing to a brilliant opponent may indicate that you are a complete fool. Losing to an old opponent may indicate that you are naive and naive, but if Your opponent is despicable and shameless, so at least you can win the sympathy of the audience. After all, goodness is innocent, isn't it?

So in their description, the treatment and decent treatment given to nobles by Brando are completely missing. Those nobles caught by Brando live a daily life that is worse than Hell. -- Although people generally doubt what a Aouine Count would steal the clothes and rations of these people to do, but such a description is in line with the speculation in the hearts of the imperialists about the barbarians of the Panbang effect, so these nobles statements successfully stimulated Aroused the indignation of Anzeluta almost all empires noble.

Of course, this indignation has been existence from the beginning, but Jean Count and Orkens Count have not yet thought of how to stand on morality and axiom, so that they can have a reason to continue to this Aouinian envoy make a move That's it. Now they finally found the reason to start the war under the teaching of Duke Young Lady from Viero, but this reason sounds ridiculous and unbelievable, but it should be enough to convince Her Majesty the Queen.

Under the eyes of the entire empire, the two Lord Counts started their action to save face.

As described in the same beginning, this farce that has been performed all the way from the border of the empire to the hinterland of the empire is staged again, which is obviously its second season now, and whether there are third and fourth seasons It's hard to say.

The ambassadors of Aouinian finally crossed the last barrier of the Anzeluta mountains this season. The position they are in now is called Floating Cloud Hills on the territory of the empire. For the empire, this is a quite famous place. -- is in War of the Holy Saints. Middle, here is the starting point of the Great Plain. Looking east from here, it is the endless field --, which is the most southwestern end of Four Borders Plain. To the north here, through a narrow corridor named Evergreen Aisle, it is connected to the famous Floral Leaf Shire in the north. In the east of this place, it is next to Broken Sword Mountain Range, which is Rocerch Highlands. It is the place closest to the Torquine Great Plain in the mountains. There are countless fortresses and barriers at the junction, blocking the Leonin offensive.

That is to say, this place is probably the closest place to the war for the empire at the moment except Four Borders Plain and Broken Sword Mountain Range East Foot. Since July, this place has entered a state of alert. Today, here is already Aura, which is not celebrated in other places, is rarely seen on the roads between towns and between commercial and commercial stations. Instead, patrols began to appear frequently.

This place is currently a soldier station on two battlefields, and it is also one of the weakest links in the empire. If it is weekdays, Brando is really worried that the two Lord Count of Anzeluta will find a way to persuade the two north and south legion and some Great Emperor nationalism. Those who came to chase and intercept themselves, but now, the soldier of the Empire are fighting in blood, obviously it is unlikely to participate in these small game between noble.

At this time, Brando finally contacted through the power of Lenarret in the empire. Part of it is biased towards his empire noble --. However, the noble he first came into contact with was not the **** holder -- of the eldest son, after all, the military nobles The range is mostly in the north and south, which is the traditional sphere of influence of regional nobles and Holy Cathedral. And these nobles that Brando came into contact with are some local forces that are emotionally biased towards the eldest son of the emperor. They have a common feature, that is, their position indecisive, and their strength is not enough to affect the situation of the empire. To be more precise, It's soy sauce.

But these soy sauces are very important for Brando at the moment. Through their Brando, they finally learned some things inside the empire in this season. -- is especially critical for what happened after Veronica and Mangrove returned to the empire. Throughout history After the change, although Brando still has a forward-looking judgment on the customs and customs of the empire in this era and nobles's habit of dealing with affairs, he has little specific trend in the details of the empire after that big bang and before Holy War. Some eyes were obscured. In fact, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation since he returned to this era.

After contacting these small families, he finally understood intermittently what happened after that. As expected, as Veronica expected, she was deprived of military power as soon as she returned to the empire, but The Silver Queen did not blame him for this. The Rishike family, instead, let the Veronica's brother succeed Army Commander, and at the same time take over the position of the parent of the Rishike family. In doing so, she clearly hopes to appease the military forces so as not to offend these people she will use, but Brando knows that there is a deeper reason, because he knows that Lady Veronica is actually only in the entire incident The scapegoat, in the eyes of people who do not know the truth, this incident was punished because Veronica accidentally caused the royal family to suffer, but in fact this is nothing more than a deceiving name. Her Majesty knew the character she played in it. She This appeasement of the Ericco family is inevitably a guilty conscience.

But what makes Brando somewhat puzzled is that Veronica was not returned to the one's own territory, but was placed under house arrest in the imperial capital, which made him a little bit unintelligible. Her Majesty ’s Majesty is really hard-hearted Want to cure the sin of this Army Commander master? He didn't think it was necessary, The Silver Queen would not know the Veronica's ability, she didn't seem to need to offend the other party.

However, after Brando learned the news, it did not think deeply. Until Nemesis reminded him that there might be a conspiracy in it, he did react that something in -- was indeed wrong.

Nemesis, after learning the truth of the whole thing, gave him the original words: "His Majesty the Kirrlutzian will make great moves."

"What's the matter?" Brando knew that his political experience didn't need to make a good Knight Mr. Ike in the group, so he didn't feel anything wrong and just asked. Road.

Nemesis glanced at him, with a rare look in his eyes that hated iron and steel. This look was very similar to that of upperclasswoman. Look at his eyes: "You think about Veronica, his brother can be a big thing. Since you and I are all aware of this, will The Silver Queen not be clear. What she does is to let the green legion hang out. What are the forces in the central area of ​​the empire? Without the blue legion, the balance of power is easy. It ’s broken. A mature politician would not make such a risky move, but if she did so, it would indicate that she had made an attempt to eradicate the logic that risk is directly proportional to return, and her action would not be small. "

Female Knight paused before answering lightly: "It's just that we have too little information to deduce what she wants to do."

Brando heard a slight jump in his heart. He looked at the quiet words in this weekday. Only during this time, when he discussed the tactics against nobles, he occasionally said a few words Knight Young Lady, for a moment. It seemed as if she had returned to the other person. When she said that, she looked like the scene when upperclasswoman analyzed quest / mission for them. But at that time, White Reed upperclasswoman was much gentler.

He pursed his lips, thinking about the words of Nemesis in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

But whether the action of supreme one is good or bad for them, just like Nemesis said, because there is too much information, it can't be inferred for a while.

"This thing is really getting more and more complicated," Brando couldn't help but said to himself: "However, Your Majesty's actions will probably have nothing to do with what we are going to do next. The thing we still do is to deal with a certain two Lord Count. Only by doing this well can we take the initiative in the next empire trip.

Female Knight listened to it, but instead Medissa replied: "Lord Thane, I think it is good to focus on one thing, but we'd better inquire about this."

Brando nodded this time, in fact, already has a suitable candidate in his mind.

Speaking of which, the other party is also the only person he knows in the Empire.

Coincidentally, they are very close geographically at the moment.
