The Amber Sword

The Naga tribe, off the shores of the sparkling ocean, is quite famous for its frequent attacks on merchant ships on routes from Ambesseur to Grey Wind Harbor to Rubik. However, the Naga fishermen in the deep sea are not united, divided into more than a dozen ethnic groups, the most famous of which are the Kota fishermen and Shining Naga, not only in the sparkling ocean, but also in the Seven Seas of Vaughnde, the most notorious bandits above the ocean, whose culture, language and traditions are more akin to the kingdom than Shining Naga.

Most of the peoples in the deep sea survive looting, and Naga remains the same, with dozens of ethnic groups attacking each other but bandits, never having heard of a day when merchant ships on this route were unaffected because they were unable to cross.

When it comes to pirates, sailors are not as awed of the mythical Cynon, Brando reminds everyone to react. “It's strange, though, that mermaids rarely come out with Naga to loot merchant ships.” Forgive me, Captain James questioned, pulling the pipe out, patting it out and stuffing it in the coat's pocket, drawing a long sword with his right hand, and then ordering the sailors to stand up on the side of the boat.

“Watch out for the spear!” He added a sentence.

In the Sword of Amber, the mermaid community adheres to Naga and often participates in wars between them, winning wars for their allies with magical songs. To be honest, it's like a bard on the battlefield, but the battlefield here is moving from land to the deep sea. But mermaids are typical benevolent creatures who often refuse to rob mankind or dwarf merchant ships with Naga (1), although it is not surprising that one or two species appear in a vast community.

At this time, creatures in the sea emerge from the water, and they look almost like humans, except that the skin is blue, and the shoulders, arms, and spine are covered with raised scaly fins, from the neck area under the cheek to the front of the chest, and they also have nasal cavities, which allow them to breathe through the lungs and filter the air by the mumps, although for Naga, the air on land is too dry and they are very uncomfortable to leave the surface of the water.

Naga doesn't have hair, a beautiful bunch of sky blue nerve bundles replace the hair position, which is a little weird at first glance, but it feels beautiful to get used to. Most of the surfacing Naga is male, and the male Naga has two pairs of arms, no obvious breastfeeding organs, with distinct facial edges, and is coated with a special, non-flooded dye with war lines on his face and muscles knotted, looking like a tough human male.

But Brando knew it was because their lower bodies were hidden beneath the water, and the legend was that Naga was descended from Heavenly Snake, a monster of half a human snake. Men in Naga have fewer arms than women, because the mythical Naga god wants women to be more mind-savvy than men, and men only need to be on the battlefield, so they need to be stronger.

But these are myths, and in reality, both Naga and the fish are good at spears, and the male Naga has two pairs of arms, one pair of arms holding the trident they exploit, and the other pair uses a short sword and a shield. Rich in mineral resources under the sea, they are not worried about iron and copper, which are commonly used as weapons and armor metals. Naga knows how to smelt forged weapons with submarine volcanoes, and there are special ways to protect their weapons underwater, so they are not much less colorful in battle gear than humans on land. But the biggest difference between Naga weapons and defenses and humans is the shuttle-shaped shield, a specialty of the Naga clan to reduce resistance underwater.

Seeing mermaids seduce people doesn't work. Naga uses the most common tactics as soon as they come out of the water, throwing spears on the deck of the distant landmark like rain. Unfortunately, Captain James is experienced and has ordered people to put up a shield - the ship's shield is actually a double layer of tower shield that is common on the Warnde battlefield, hanging upside down from the ship's side, pulling them up with a rope when needed - the stainless steel spear pocket is like a rain point on a thick shield. Unfortunately, the shield on board is designed to deal with these common robbers at sea. The distant landmark is a big ship, more well-prepared, and Naga's spear is either embedded in the shield or powerless to slide into the water.

After a while, St. Mayfist the Grey Sword, Charles, Andrig, Sy, Medfis, Lopal, Princess Silver Fairy came to the deck and saw these people, James finally relieved. Though he does not know the full power of this young lord around him, he also knows that at least Metisa and Charles have the power of the gold class and that there are two leaders of the gold class sitting in the town, even the flagship in a fleet of Eluin.

“What's going on?” As soon as Mayfister walked out of the cabin, he saw the monsters on the surface and asked peacefully, Captain James did not know that this seemingly flat middle-aged man was the biggest BOSS in Brando's tour, but just this calm kung fu was enough to make him look twice.

The calm of Grey Sword Sage is not without reason. After all, this is the beginning of the sword year. Unlike a robbery by a bandit on the road after the Stone Wars, it is possible that the elements have been catalyzed. At this time of year, let's not say that in Eruin, even when the Principality of Mayfist was subordinate to Cruz, he was a top player in the Empire. Like him, with a little caution, the whole Vaughn can hardly spot their existence on the dead end.

And a few heads of Naga, even less so.

“It's Naga,” replied Brando, pressing the sword in his hand, not immediately. He looked at the Naga fighters on the sea and thought they were familiar - although the Naga were almost the same as humans, there was still a difference between the different tribes, like flashing scales, named for their colorful scales. This tribe that Brando sees right now, it's kind of like Greyfin Naga, and when he sees the other guy's slightly white scales, he can't help it, can he?

“This is Naga?” Grey Sword Saint has heard of monsters like Naga. But he was born in the interior of the empire, has fought the empire all his life, has never sailed the sea, and only heard of monsters like Naga have not seen it. He looked at the monsters and couldn't help but look at them and say, "How can you go anywhere and get in trouble? ”

“I...” Brando never dreamed that this serious guy would throw up a serious slot, but only at such a time would he have such leisure. I just didn't expect Otales to agree with the nod, “I think this guy's right, you can get in trouble anywhere. ”

“Martha, I'm innocent, too, okay?” Brando had no words in his heart, he had to face dramatic tasks in the past in the Sword of Amber, but after crossing into the world, he was truly shocked, and something strange came to him one after the other.

Otales, however, is simply saying that it is common to meet pirates at sea. Not only pirates, but also bandits and bandits on land. Lords' management of their territory is mostly confined to the core. The more remote they are from areas of economic exchange and prosperity, the more chaotic the law and order becomes. In areas such as the overseas, where no one can control them, the more so is the paradise of illegal forces.

At this point the sailors began to fight back, and most of the ships sailing along this route were armed merchant ships with no shortage of weapons on board. The sailors fought back with a crossbow, but their response was really not good enough, rather than trying to destroy each other, just to push them away. Instead, it was a mess, and James' sailors ate a lot of money. Several spears went through the gap of the shield and into the crowd, injuring several people. Two more bad guys were nailed to the deck, and the second pair of part-time doctors on board said they couldn't live after a glance.

But Brando took some of the lowest bottles of holy water out of the dimensional cave and let Metisa pass it on. Where did he get this level of holy water from Amman? s incredible number of holy water, not to mention the fact that lower holy water is of little use to him, just in time to buy a favor. Brando knows that dealing with these Ambethel merchants is very beneficial to his future development, not to mention James himself.

Holy water is the most tested drug in the world, and its greatest role is to stop the bleeding and repair the physical damage, which are essentially the trauma of war. As long as you die without losing too much blood, holy water can act as a life-and-death human being and a flesh-bone. But this is really unusual, and during the Jihad, the temple was only able to supply the most elite troops.

As soon as two otherwise dead sailors poured holy water, the scary trauma healed at a visible rate to the naked eye. Don't say it was the second pair responsible for healing the injury at that moment, even James was stunned, although his sailors can't say how important it is, people who have been running at sea all these years do not put their heads off on trouser belts to see light life and death, but can drag the dead back from the reaper alive, it is not a miracle.

Captain James, a nobleman of nobility and knowledgeable, immediately realized what Brando was giving him. He was not surprised by Brando's abilities, but by Brando's generosity, something like holy water, which was casually used on a sailor he didn't know, either too benevolent or vast.

Seeing this scene, James hesitated for the first time to consider deepening his relationship with Cold Cedar Collar as an emerging force as a nobleman and businessman. When he looked at Brando, he thought it might be true, as rumoured, that he was from a large family with deep roots, but why did he appear in Tonigal against Count Jean de Neil?

He first associated himself with the Civil War in the North, the King's Party? Or the princess's personal knight? Is it true that the Cavaliers of the Highlands of Karasou are turning to support the princess faction? The young captain flashed a few thoughts in his heart like lightning.

Compared to the complexity of the captain's mind, only Thanksgiving Dade remains for the two sailors rescued from the Shinigami. These sailors are actually just poor people, who would have been a sailor if they hadn't walked the road? Sailing in this era is a very risky thing, and the sailor's death rate is quite high, and Brando understands it to be slightly better than another 15th and 16th century era in history, when he saved the lives of both sailors, basically saving the lives of the other family, but even so, Brando didn't accept the request for two sailors to kiss his boots to express gratitude.

As a modern man, this is unbelievable for him.

However, it fell into the eyes of others, rather than relying more on the breasts of this young lord. Brando did not know that his subconscious actions had earned him a great reputation among the sailors, because at this time the officers of the White Lion Corps had taken out a batch of heavy crossbows from under the cabin. These crossbows were not ordinary four-armed crossbows. After all, for a fighter of Black Iron Fraction strength, the four-armed crossbow was no longer sufficient. Master Brando had built a batch of crossbows specially designed for officers and students of the White Lion Legion. These weapons were incredibly expensive, each of which was almost equal in weight to gold, and only required fifty pieces for Brando.

Brando intends to use a magic bow instead of a magic bow for the future White Lion Infantry, which requires miniaturized magic conductors, an area where Antitina specializes, despite the complexity of the technology, the price is several times cheaper. Of course, it was a distant dream. Until then, the White Lion Infantry could only count with a regular white board bow. Brando didn't have enough money to prepare a magic bow for every soldier. Besides, he thought if he really wanted to do that, Little Roman would make a big fuss about him.

As soon as the White Lions joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield changed. In this world, and even in Eruin as a whole, I'm afraid not a lord has invested as much money in training soldiers as Brando did. Brando's insight comes from modern times and understands that the army is nurtured. In his training projects, he strictly requires soldiers and officers to train in combat as a proportion of their daily training - and on more than one occasion he complains about the inconceivable amount of money spent on the territory - replenishing arrows, repairing weapons and broken armor, which is tens of times or more expensive than other lords in Eruin.

In response, the Master from the Palace expressed outrage that the money, if saved, could at least recruit an army the size of Brando's men. But Brando was lonely about it, and that insistence finally came to fruition today.

The officers of the White Lion Legion, like veteran warriors who have been on the battlefield countless times, even the only defect that they have not seen blood is remedied during the Wolf's tide, and they show the harshness of being ashamed of even the most elite knights of Eruin. While they may be more sophisticated in battlefield experience, they are far worse off than trained and cooperating.

And the arrows of the White Lion Corps officers are as precise as they are with their eyes, which are piled up with countless shooting exercises, and each person is estimated to have tens of thousands of tols of gold coins converted into broken arrows. But these gold coins are now found back in Naga, and Captain James simply doesn't believe in his own eyes, and the White Lion Corps officers have been shot and sunk from the sea at short notice by more than a dozen Naga fighters.

And so is the god shooter in the navy.

Naga across the street is also under tremendous pressure, and they never dreamed that a merchant ship would have such firepower, which makes it clear that a warship, not even the Kingdom's Class III main ship, would have that firepower density. The only bad news is that there are no artillery or crossbow guns on this merchant ship, otherwise they would really think they were hitting an authentic ship in the kingdom.

Hands crossed for a while, with only one officer in the White Lion Corps injuring his hand by pulling a crossbow while strangling, the only casualty on Brando's side of the battle, where more than a dozen bodies have been left behind. Naga fighters at sea have gone from initial shock to fear, screaming and falling back.

“Is this a retreat? ”

Captain and Brando were stunned. In their impression, the Naga clan fought with great courage. Even if they were frustrated for a short period of time, they would continue to fight without fear. Never before had they seen the attack stopped and immediately turned around and ran away. Is this still Naga? This isn't a fishmonger camouflage, is it? Brando and James were a little face-to-face all the time.
