The Amber Sword

Chapter 69: Act II Mercenary

Ovewell took a necklace out of his arms before he started, a common brass necklace with a beautiful crystal pendant hanging from a smoothly polished chain with a small line on it: Freya.

He showed the necklace to the teenage girl and said, "She carried the necklace with her, and her name should come from it. But it's actually her mother's name, Your Highness. ”

“Her mother?” The teenage girl holds the necklace with her slender hands and her expression remains the same.

“Everton's wife died in a riot 17 years ago. ”

“So this girl must be Everton's only heir? ”

“Exactly. ”

“Beat Lord Verwell, since he's here, I'm sure this little girl must have made it out of danger, can you say that?” The girl asked.

“You could say that, but there's something strange about the process.” The middle-aged man nodded indifferently, but his eyebrows flashed slightly as if he remembered something interesting.

“Oh?” The princess was slightly surprised.

“It's mostly about that young man. ”

“So it's back to him? ”

“No, it's just that that young man has been playing some amazing role throughout the process. It sounds like a light sentence, but the whole escape journey was unpredictable —— there were times when things were so critical that even I couldn't get into my hands, and many people couldn't even imagine that, but I let him move back alive."

Beating Verwell mentioned it here, he couldn't help laughing: “You're even welcome to say that this young man is probably the only one who let Madara eat once in this battle, compared to some incompetent generations. ”

“Oh?” The girl's pale silver and grey eyes lit up slightly.

“Especially when he got something good in the process," the middle-aged man said here, unable to resist revealing his memories: “But what is it exactly, let the elderly sell a close. ”

“In that case, I'm more interested in smelling what even a young man who can't stop beating Lord Verwell is like. It's just that we don't have much time left. Please start with the adults. ”

Beat Verwell and nod, take a step back and continue talking about what happened that night...

Freya heard Sue whistling this way at the corner of the street, crisp and delightful, sounding like a nightingale, but it was a warning. She hurried back and found that four or five strangers on the street had come up to herself, knowing that their previous moves were a little too big, causing hostility.

She wanted and didn't want to, pushing away Roman's distant relative and rushing into the house. The folks in the rear immediately stepped up to catch up, but Freya had already stepped into the bedroom to close the door and then tipped over the cabinet and stuck it in the aisle.

The bang bang immediately rang, and Freya felt her heart pounding out of her chest, looking at the window beside her - biting her teeth, her hands guarding her head 'boom’ jumping out of there.

As a result of the wooden plaid windows that were still in use by most ordinary civilians this time of year, this leap out, despite the wind's rear armor protection, hit Freya's arm and forehead with a hidden pain. She rolled up several times from the ground and found herself in the alley behind the street, sweeping her head up to the left and right just as Sue fell from the other side and ran into the alley.

But the girl looked pale as if she saw a ghost.

“Sue!” Freya stood up and shouted halfway, but half the words were stuck in her throat.

She raised her head and looked at the blue light from the stars moving toward the sky. At first, the girl didn't realize what it was, or she stuck there for a while, and then suddenly reacted —— that was an arrow.

The arrow that ignites the fire of the soul, the masterpiece of Madara's skeletal archer. The experience of that night in Butch came to her mind, and Freya shouted carefully and pounced Sue under herself.

The rain of arrows immediately fell on the cover of his face, and countless arrows slammed on the tiles of nearby houses. A thin layer of tiles could not stop Madarat's tapered arrows, and the house quickly rang a scream. Freya felt Sue shaking herself up on the ground - she couldn't get over there herself, she had no blood on her face, she just felt her heart beat was going to stop.

Several arrows hit the blue wind feathers surrounding her body and burst out. Freya doesn't know that the defense of the rear half of the game after the stroke is the feather of the terrible wind. Full protection is 3 points, and half of the armor itself is 2 points - in fact, the defense of the full body is just 3 points away.

So she always thought she was going to die the next second, she was scared to close her eyes, but her body still protected the girl below.

About a minute before and after two waves of arrow rain, the clattering sound around the area finally faded. Su and Freya just shook their eyes together and they looked at each other, each seeing a palpitation in the bottom of their eyes.

“Skeleton... Skeleton... Skeleton, outside.” Sue said with some breathlessness.

With a slight flash, Freya felt a chill in her heart and understood that Madara's army had entered the city. She never suspected that Brando would lie to her, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon, and now she understands why he's been asking for time so deliberately.

The future goddess of martial arts wanted to climb up here and grab Su's hand and pull each other up: “Su, let's go! ”

“To where?” Sue was somewhat overwhelmed to ask.

Get out of here! Let's get out of here together! ”Freya was confused, and at this time she really understood how much pressure Brando was under, and she thought about it and thought about it, and could only think about walking one step at a time until she saw Brando.

“I'm going back, my father's still in the store. ”

“I'm coming with you. ”

Sue nodded.

The Bonoan Market is on the west side of Lidenburg, close to the Pine River, while the Red Copper Dragon Story Bar is on the north street between the Bonoan Market and the Bridge of Travelers, not far in the middle. But by the time Freya and Sue got there, the streets and outside the bar had been filled with people because of the fire that Siemens was burning in the direction of the bear --

This evening began with a fire in the House of Lords, followed by frequent movements of guards, already full of uneven colours. So people are already at the same time asking each other what happened.

Some of them believed that the Maddala army had arrived in the city, while others thought that the nobility of the city had attacked, but did not expect that the army of the dead had entered the city. Freya and Sue separated the crowd and discovered that the owner of the 'Red Copper Dragon Story Club' and its guests had both run outside, drawing their feet against a flaming Siemens finger.

As soon as Su saw his father, he stuck his head in the woods, as if the swallows were falling into the woods. His daughter's actions made the bar owner Leito look slightly stunned. He patted the girl's back so that Su could calm down for a while, but the latter stuck his toes up and said something in his ear. Reto looked down and he nodded to Freya, thanking her, then turned to the mercenaries beside him - Freya noticed that most of them had been his guests before.

Leto clapped his hands and made those people stop and look at him. Someone even said, “What's wrong, Leito? Why don't you buy us a drink for the fireworks? ”

Everyone shouted well.

But the bar owner replied, "You can't stop drinking, but it's not today. Listen up, everyone. Madara's in town. ”

He said that the first time Madara went into town, these people hadn't heard it, and it took seconds to react. Later, Leto replenished it again so that more than 30 people on the scene could calm down all at once.

Is that true?

Everyone's face now clearly says such a sentence.

“Sue told me she wouldn't lie to me.” Lettotan said.

Freya frowned slightly and the news would not be discussed in public because even she knew it could cause panic. But unless Leto doesn't think about it, or has his intentions, it's probably much more likely that the future goddess will see the latter.

It took about a bit of time to digest the message, and then someone asked a little hard, “What are we going to do? ”

It seems that everyone present gives priority to such an issue rather than turning around as soon as they hear the news or yelling. Freya looks closely at these people and suddenly realizes that the relationship between this bar and its regular guests may not be as simple as it seems.

“Kill it. ”

“Kill them all together.” It was suggested.

“How do we get out?” Another question asked.

Now that Madara is attacking from the West Gate, it seems to the average person that the farthest east gate should be the safest place. Mercenaries are those who emerge from the battlefield, most of whom have some basic tactical qualities. The siege of Eruin is a three-sided attack, but the key factor depends on whether it is a raid or a siege.

And the tactical purpose of Madara is important, is the spirit to kill, seize the city, plunder or have further targets?

This is also a major difficulty in fighting Madala in the bright world, because it is difficult for living people to judge what the dead want and what tactical attempts are.

At one time there was a lot of talk, but no one could come up with a way to serve the crowd. Freya waited anxiously for a while, holding her sword and holding her hand up again, and finally took the liberty of inserting a phrase: "I, I think I know someone who can take you out of town -”

Her words left the people present with a moment to look at her. Someone recognized her and whistled, “Isn't that the little girl? ”

Freya blushed in front of everyone, and she couldn't help but think of herself. This is Brando's decision - would Brando blame her? She suddenly finds herself scared of this, but calmly thinks about it - from Brando's point of view, he's been looking for help, so all she has to do is bring these people together as a useful force.

But how do we get these people together?

And now there's some hesitation on the part of the future goddess of martial arts —— can she do it? Find ways to direct these experienced mercenaries, born and killed on the battlefield, in the capacity of a militia leader in a sector.

But Freya calmed down quickly, at most, but just tried. The young girl thought so, holding onto her sword, some nervously held onto her chest.

She looked like some young girl, and others had to look at Leto, who introduced her: “It was this young lady who saved my daughter before. ”

“So, miss, how can we trust you?” That's why someone asked later.

Freya took a breath: "Of course you can trust me. Do you know why the guards tried to catch me and my partner before? ”

“Why?”

“Because we are the militia of Butch, which was invaded by Madara two days ago, we and our companions escaped from Madara's claws just to send a message to Liedenburg, but the nobles' reaction disappointed us...”

She paused, “I'm sure you wouldn't expect those people to save you, would you? ”

“Of course, the maggots. ”

“Maggots. Well described. Cheers. ”

“Cheers.” The crowd responded.

“Are you saying that you have a way of bypassing Madara's attention?” Reto glanced at her and asked.

Freya nodded.
