The Amber Sword

Chapter 857: Act 17 Brando's Army

Indeed, it is not the same as in the game. The vast maze of the Forest Center of Death in the game remained silent until the age of eternal darkness. The Coward sisters died on the seventh expedition of the Silver Year players, completing this feat with the wheel of fantasy, when Eluin was the most powerful players' guild. In the year of Lin Mao, this year was named after the rapid spread of the black forest on the border of Fanzan. In this year, Madara defeated the wind elves to the full boom era. In the next five years, the Battle of the Slope Forest erupted in the year of astrology, but another major event occurred in this year that diverted the player's gaze from the demise of Eruin, the fall of the year of astrology, which continued intermittently for nearly half a century. In Ansta, the first war tablet was excavated, and then the player discovered the ruins of Agaste, only three months later, the symbol of the Moon of Qin, and Emis' third daughter Meiyah was killed.

Brando suddenly remembers that the Moon and the Tianqin are symbols of destiny and a source of power for the Destiny Witch, to whom Roman and her aunt belonged.

He shook his head gently.

The following year, in the moonlight year, the gloomy Moya, apathetic Atlas was killed, and the two killings completed in seven months were by Cruz's most powerful association of players, Blood Blood Guard. Five years later, Shalifinger the Mountain King was crowned at the White Fortress, when a wolf woke up from dusk. In St. Osor, the inhabitants of the Cloud Mist Mountains witnessed the swarm swallow of the moon, and then five wolves of dusk descended on St. Osor, Autumn Twilight, and the song of the Nightingale killed the wise Tristad, the other four daughters of Aches - the whispering young girl Octavio, the beautiful Tadessa, the arrogant Agatha, and the hypocritical Castinia were also killed.

These achievements were accomplished through the dedication of the Guardians of St. Osor, the Oak Knights, the shadow of the Princess's Private Guard, several of the largest players' organizations in St. Osor. As for the name of the last guild, there is no doubt that Princess Ramona has always been a star figure in St. Osor. There was also a larger players' guild called the Little Princess's Underwear Collectors' Organization, which turned out to be intolerable for the Pokémon royal side, declaring it an illegal organization to be banned and annihilated, recalling those funny things back then, Brando couldn't help but warp.

This is the story of a bloody year in which, a year later, in the year of the first four hundred and thirty-four dragon shadows, the Golden Palace relics were discovered in a group of copies of which there was a battle called the most epic ever, and within ten months the first hundred large players' guilds of Warnd sank here, because their enemy was the most powerful of the twelve daughters of Aches, known as the arrogant Golden Sea.

It wasn't until two years later that the legend ended, four hundred and thirty-six years ago, during the long night, that the haughty Golden Sea was killed, and the widowed young girl Odyce was killed.

Four hundred and thirty-seven, the year of the Wolf, Essex's youngest daughter, and also the most popular BOSS among the players, the Moon of heresy, the flawless Timothy was killed. Thereafter, Ehiss appeared in the former southern realm of Eruin, the White Mountains, the Great Glacier and the El Lantado, and the final battle began. After three years of hard fighting, the players finally killed the Dusk Wolf in the Alkash Mountains.

The following year, in the first four hundred and forty years, the eternity and darkness descended, the second century began, the slate war ended.

But at this moment, history emerged at the end of the year of the Sword of 376, Milos disappeared, the maze under the glacier of the Dead Frost Forest completely greyed out, and the Coward sisters survived, and more importantly, Brando was disturbed by the news coming from the north. The Toquinin Fortress of the Lions, Wallace, a city bordering the Cruz people, and Oskin Harbor of the Wind Elves were simultaneously devastated by devastating magic. Now all three sides are doubting each other who is the real killer. Though still in doubt at the top, the ash smoke extinction in the three cities has fuelled the lower contradiction. Now the power of the Temple of the Earth, the Temple of Fire and the Temple of the Wind is basically equivalent to sitting on a powder barrel, waiting for only one Mars to detonate. The information that comes out of it puts Brando under a lot of pressure, so it represents only one possibility, that jihad, which really began in the year of the Holy White Vulture, may be fought in advance.

After that, the future of the world will be chaotic, his visionary advantage over the future will cease to exist, and history will finally return to its origins at this moment, as if all its participants were drawn back to the same starting line. It is for this reason that Brando has a deep sense of urgency that Eru has not accumulated enough advantages over time. In fact, this ancient kingdom does not have any advantages at all, but merely brings back some of its previous disadvantages.

But it's still small and weak, and although it's connected to the Dragons, to the Bukas, and the situation in the country is much better than the Eruin in the game, it's not enough.

“There's a lot going on in the Dead Frost Forest, and it's not quite the same history as we remember, but Esis is still far from us, and I'm even more worried about the present. Coward manipulated Milos' will to attack Wallace with the judgment of God, Toquinin and Oskin, and now Toquinin, Cruz and St. Osol are in turmoil on the border. I did not let Coward, especially the dark Coward, leave because I feared she would divulge what was happening that day.” Brando replied.

“I'm afraid more than that, do you think they're the key to the future turning point, and according to us - in that ‘game’ - I remember some of the details of the dreams, people like Coward, called NPCs in the dreams, in which they must be the key plot. Brando, do you think you can get the benefit out of this?” Nimatis asked softly that, after the exchange in the Dead Frost Forest, she was no longer so excluded from the memories of the dreams of the past.

Brando was shocked when he suddenly realized that he might have such an intention, purely because of past subconscious habits, but not necessarily for the benefit, but simply to keep the variable within his control. Hiddenly he felt a sense of insecurity in his heart, which had become more evident since his arrival in the world, and he sometimes wondered why he had returned to the end of the year of 375 years of flowering and summer leaves only to save Eruin? So what about that shadowy prophecy about the Dragon of Darkness?

He glanced subconsciously at the corner of the hall, where the witches were sitting, stealing whispers, as if they had recently learned of Roman's identity, thus gaining more respect for him.

“You're upset.” Nimaisis replied, "It's not necessary, it's still the same as before, do what you can, and I'm sure you can do it well. ”

Brando turned around and looked at her with some surprise, which didn't sound like a knight's mouth, making him think he heard Sister Bai preaching to himself. He glanced at each other for a moment, but he was glanced at. Nimatis turned around and asked as if he didn't care: "So you care about the situation of Jihad for some time to come? ”

Brando nodded, indeed, and he asked, "Who do you think will do it first?” He pretended to listen to others arguing over how to attack Denel's plan, but his mind wasn't there at all, already floating on the border between Cruz and the prairie. Niemasis looked down at the map on the table, which did not have the borders of the Cruz Empire, just a partial topographical map of the Hillman area, but she also seemed to see the undulating mountains in the south-west of Cruz, whispering: “Fortress Tokenin is of great symbolic significance to the Golden Lions, and I guess they will be the first to press and grab, and they will attack the Alston area, just as they have in history. ”

Brando was full of words about Veronica, and he kept thinking about how credible the Imperial Army was, but Nimatis' words struck him, and she knew about the plans of the Cruz Army. On the one hand, after all, she was going to stay in Valhalla and bow her head to Prince Leonarita and others. On the other hand, she was the person in charge of Her Royal Highness's stay with him. Since he had communicated with the princess, there was no need to hide the knight. The point is that Nimaisi is in a very special position in his heart at this moment, and even though she herself is reluctant to admit it, Brando still sees her as a sister-in-law, at least half of her soul is like him. And if Nimmasis knew how crazy Her Majesty the Cruz was right now, why would she have to draw conclusions that were consistent with history?

“Do you know anything, Sister?” He whispered that Brando knew that in the game, Nimatis had established a relationship with her team a long time ago with the Eruin nobility, so in this day and age she probably knew something before him. And these insights, exactly what he lacked in this history, are like much of his judgment of Eruin actually comes from the analysis in the forum, not from his own personal experience.

“Don't call me that," Nimaisi glanced at him severely: "I'm not sure I'm waiting for a message. If that message gets here on time, then the jihad is about to open and will unfold as I said. If not, then it's hard to say, but in any case, you have to be ready for a full-scale war. ”

Brando looked at her with a bitter smile: "The total war seems to have nothing to do with my local lord. ”

“I know what you're thinking,” Nimaisie replied softly, "all our hearts were gathered together now on your own, without having to bend over with me. ”

Brando only recovered his mind. The controversy in the lobby seems to have returned to his ears. In fact, the main controversy now is between the White Lion Guard and the Knights of the Folds, rather than negotiating the way to attack, rather than the controversy between the Cruz and Eruin, which disappoints him a little. Fortunately, Charles and Metisa did not participate in the child's quarrel. Even the first mercenary commanders who came from Mintai far away, Leto, appeared much more calm. Kuran was silent. The old swordsman was tasting a type of wine from Valhalla. The old man was an old man. Although he may not be as sharp as the young man, he was able to more or less understand his spleen.

In fact, he did make a fortune, but he just wanted to test these young Tonigal men, and unfortunately he was disappointed that these little lions of the White Lion Corps, like most Eruins of this era, thought that the focus of this war was on Count Denel, not Madala, and that even the young officers of the former White Lion Corps were a little more radical at this point than the young men of his White Lion Guard, and the young men from the North paid a little more attention to Madala, and the natives of Tonigal didn't seem to take that black rose of Bromando as a whole, but Brando knew, it wasn't their fault, after all, that their only impression of those bone skeletons was that confrontation six months ago.

It's not really about excellence, it's just a difference in knowledge.

But Brando was a little disappointed, because in contrast, the young people of Cruz were much better, especially Lord Roston's second son, Little Perot, and the knight around him, Blender, who was no worse than Locka, and the idea that it would be nice if the best cadets at the Royal Knights College were here, but unfortunately they had to go north to complete the White Lion Corps takeover, was totally unrealistic.

“Attack in any direction and how, depending on the purpose of the war," Little Pero's voice was not high and he looked extra thin after taking off his bear coat, as if a gust of wind could blow over him. "Isn't the purpose of this war to clear up the civil unrest and restore stability to the southern realm of Eruin?” Someone interrupted him very rudely: “So your statement is not exactly in support of the idea that we should start with letting Denel open the knife behind his back, attack Maggie Tan first, and cut the old man's back.” Little Perot does not seem to mind this disrespectful interruption, "he replied," for us it is true that the attack on Magitan cut off the way back for Denel, but for the Count it is not necessary that Denel, after being ambushed, either fail to retreat or win with the staff, and finally Magitan is insignificant for his purpose, they are only going to open the road to Vieiro and, if they fail, return to Maddalene. ”

“I wanted to make it unlikely that Denel would return to Maggie Tan after his defeat, trapped himself, so cutting off the back road was purely nonsense.” Little Pero finished, looked at everyone and stopped talking.

“How did you know that Denel would attack Vieiro? ”

Brando couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the question, and the young men under his command still failed to pay attention to Madara. In fact, it was not Jeannel who was going to attack Vieiro, but Madara's bone skeleton, which was the inevitable choice of the blood cane. After listening for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little haunted. The young officers of the White Lion Corps still didn't realize who their real enemies were, but he was too lazy to repeat it to them, and reality would tell them everything, until after the war, they would understand who their real opponents were.

And little Pello had almost guessed his thoughts, and Tonigal's army would go through Chablis, bypassing the back of the Hillman area, cutting off the blood wand, knowing that there was an extremely hostile Eruin noble resistance there, and it would certainly not have gone into the barren hills to find trouble with those mountain people, but it would have been unexpected, the king of Hillman, who was actually Brando's old acquaintance.

The battle was actually doomed from the beginning, but the details needed to be refined. What he cares about is the strength of Madara's army in this day and age. There was good news on the magic letterhead from Caglis, who saved a member of the guard who had been involved in that night's battle. It was said that skeletal cavalry and fear already existed in Madara's army, indicating that those horrible dark mercenaries of the Dead Moon had joined the war, and the number of skeletal archers proved his anxiety about the number of corpse witches, but There's something else that hasn't shown up yet. The guard can't see the proportion of ordinary skeleton skeleton to skeleton warriors in the entire Maddala Army. That's what Brando cares about. In Maddala's skeleton army, skeletons and zombies temporarily evoked by corpse witches are magically quenched and skilled in using equipment. Skeleton warriors exist in two worlds. Historically, after Tama joined, Maddala invented the Skull Warrior Psychic Front directly from the corpse, and during the pre-Second Black Rose War brought about the improvement of the Advanced Skull Swordsman. Brando wanted to know how much he had changed his history.

If history remains the same as expected, then only Vieiro's army will be in trouble.

Because the Dark Nobility of the Sea of the Dead Moon joined the battle earlier than ever before.

What about Valhalla? Brando was a little relieved to think of the strength he possessed, and when he went to Ambesseur to solve the crisis in Eruin, there were only a handful of high-end fighters left behind besides the hundreds of bloody White Lion Guards, and Tonigal's available army could hardly be described as none. But today, unlike in the past, when he was in a bloody battle with the demons and the Krutz in Ambesseur, Valhalla's army finally began to emerge after the war, under Monica's hand.

First of all, the wind shooter, when he went to Ambesseur, was only a hundred or so tree elves who could really get into battle, and there were about 300 recruits. Now, the wind shooter has formed an army, quite a few, with just two battalions of 600 men. You know, after the advanced wind shooter camp was completed, this army of wind shooters was completely stripped of their bones, they used long bows at a distance, even more than the White Lion Guard led by Freya in rank, Tonigal's nascent White Lion Guard now barely counts as a third rank army, and the wind shooters, according to Metissa's estimation, are at least a fourth rank of long-range soldiers, and what's even scarier is that when they used a pair of machetes in the melee, they also fought more than the average army of the black iron ranks, which is now on the front battlefield of Eruin, which is a real elite army.

On the other hand, the White Lion Guard was greatly strengthened, not qualitatively, but quantitatively. Although Brando was nominally unable to take over the old White Lion Corps, Her Royal Highness drew a large number of men, either explicitly or implicitly, from the old White Lion Corps, the Royal Knights College and even the local guards to enrich this nominally subordinate Guard. In just six months, the White Lion Guard has enriched itself from its original empty shelf to its present size of nearly 1,500 men, which is still under Brando's limitation, because Brando is well aware that the Grey Legion of the Future Jihad is not worth mentioning at all, and he is building an army as elite as the White Lion infantry led by the ancient King Ecker, not the old white lion who died in the north of Eruin.

Not to mention that he now has the Knights of the Folds of the Cruz, although Brando was meant to have these young Cruz elites pull up a real army for him, but that was a long-term plan, and at least for now, he's only going to let these Cruz fight independently. In fact, even so, it is a golden legion of hundreds of people, and it is no surprise that the Knights put some small material in Eruin, and the entire kingdom of Eruin now needs to assemble the forces of the nation to build an army that can rival them.

With these three armies, Tonigal, for the first time, possessed the strength of an outward expedition.

And Brando knew very well that Valhalla's next generation of army plans had actually begun by this time. Don't even wait until after this war, Monica can hand him a questionnaire. Thinking about it, Brando suddenly raised his head with feelings and saw the little light swinging in. She didn't give a shit about the others in the lobby and flew herself to him. In a hurry, she said with some surprise: "Lord, it worked! ”
