The Amber Sword

Sudden events on the battlefield disrupted all deployments and made Brando understand for the first time that so-called precision planning was basically equivalent to the decree of King Hessen I of the Roads under the command art of this era - a joke. In a situation where noble armies, especially those who shy away from the old command structures of the Knight's superiors and subordinates and dragging away the dispersed discipline, are simply the great enemies of all commanders, what you need to consider is not praying that there will be no leakage, but thankfully that there is no leakage, the more complex the plan becomes.

Located north of the Silman Valley and southeast of the Tosancad Forest, the Slovak region is the end of the Chablis Mountains in the Goran-Elsen Passage Province, a low valley hill that severs the link between the Valentine's Lake Plains and the Silman Valley, as if it were a natural barrier. Several tributaries injected into Lake Valentin cut across the hills, forming a few relatively smooth valleys along which the army of blood canes marched, and Kevin's men followed them long ago to find out where they were marching, detecting that these bone skeletons might pass between the Kerivan and Chenille valleys.

Clevan and Chenille are the two most important passages of the Slovak hills, surrounded by the Jondel hills, which are forked north, spanning many small mountain bags in the middle, and many large woodlands can be used for ambushes at this time of year on the gentle slopes. This place is almost an ideal ambush, and the scepter never seems to have thought that a coalition from Lantoniland and Vieiro would ambush him here, and his previous victory made him proud, which is why he would fold here in history.

In Brando's original plan, four armies of Vieiro, Lantoniland, Toniguer and the Cavaliers of the Heights lay in the valleys of Crewan and Chenille, unraveling a circle of about twenty miles in length, allowing Lantoniland's army to strike first, and then the cavalry-dominated army of Vieiro and Toniguer to strike around the more gentle valley in the rear, completely surrounding the army of the blood cane.

But what is happening now has grown beyond all expectations from the outset.

The army of the blood wand split into two parts and proceeded in a valley about seventy-eight miles apart. When a wing forward met the army of Vieiro, the army of Vieiro began its attack with a passion that the knight could not resist. As a direct result, the large army with long walks did not enter the siege at all and, apart from a small part of the vanguard, its main force was in fact the front of the Lantoniland and Vieiro armies, which were further away from Tonigal's armies, and an ambush was fought from the outset.

And what is even more difficult is that Vieira's army is completely exposed to Madara's military horizons, they have lost one wing and morale is rapidly breaking down. And for others, especially the army of Lantoniland and the highland knights, they had no idea what was happening on their side, and immediately after they learned that Vieiro's army had started the attack, they changed the battle plan and tried to circle the side of the blood cane army one step ahead of the other, not knowing that the cap of the perimeter had been stabbed out by their own people.

Ike still hurries among the mountain forests with a handful of his cavalry, and can only pray that the goddamn cavaliers of Vieiro don't stab out too big a basket, but they don't like his little wish, Makaro and Odin, they know too well the private armies of these aristocrats, if they win the chase or stay in place, or play 80% of their strength, but once they make a positive attack, they are afraid of collapsing in an instant.

It has to be said that the two old nobles are still very insightful about some of the cheats on this land in their kingdom, and although they have not seen it with their own eyes, they have guessed an eighty-nine.

Of all the parties involved in this battle, Brando was the first to receive reliable intelligence through the magical subpoenas of Kevin, which are rarely used in wars of this era, because magical subpoenas can only deliver words, and Vaughn's decryption technique is horrific: with magical beings similar to 'interpreting ciphertext’, it can be directly restored to the original intent of those who wrote the ciphertext, and commanders are naturally reluctant to divulge their orders to their opponents.

But the 'interpretation of ciphertext' is not unbroken. On the contrary, the method of restraint is simple. As long as the messenger is divided into two groups, one person is responsible for writing the ciphertext, and the Wizard apprentice who carries out the magical subpoena only needs to copy it, so that the person who sends the ciphertext only thinks of the original text of the ciphertext, and does not reveal the secrets hidden therein. It's just so simple and after understanding the principle of magic, the problem is that most mortals in this era still understand magic to the extent that they know it, but they don't know why. Silver wizards call them Jianghu magicians. The real emphasis of inherited wizards is more on the knowledge contained in magic. Bukas are mostly scholars, and human wizards are mostly magicians, which is the gap.

In fact, the wizards of Buga have long found a way to restrain this magic, but it is their secret that it will not become widespread in the armies of the Black Iron People until after the Stone War. But now that Eru has a situation other than Brando's, the so-called 'barriers to knowledge' have become non-existent, and he has directly used the sorcerers' methods to plagiarize them.

However, this approach has little technical content, it is simple to diffuse, and once the magic subpoena becomes popular, countries as powerful as Madala and Cruz, with large armies, will benefit far more than Eruin, so Brando has never used this technology openly in the military, often only for some intelligence exchanges with his belly. He would never easily spread the secret among the Tibukas unless he was convinced that Eruin would gain enough in a large-scale war to counteract the aftermath.

In fact, Brando's heart has already settled, but this war with the blood wand has never been as serious as that.

He stowed away Caglis' magic letterhead in the monsoon rain, and Madara defeated Vieiro's old army of knights, which he did not expect, but the Vieiro commander dared to assemble those who came from the lower realm from the knights to the left, so bold that he could still make him cry. “I don't know if it's too self-confident or so-called self-cultivation of actors.” Brando concealed in his heart that if those things were to be given to him, he would rather send them to Madara to fight him than command them, and the reason why ‘things’ were used to describe those obedient knights was that Brando was so impressed with these so-called armies of small landowners, knights of ruin and speculationists who, historically, had buried northern nobles, just like today's foolishness. “But I'm afraid that the commander is also a dilemma. At least nominally, these knights are the envoys of the Duke of Vieiro, who are willing to wave the flag for the Lord. That is loyalty and righteousness. If the Duke of Vieiro dares not accept it, his prestige will be lost. ”

Brando knows these ageing nobles, these rules of the game, knights and lords, and that's the cornerstone of this era. But unfortunately, these cornerstones have shaken from the very bottom of them. “My lords, your time has come to an end -” he still has time to think of a famous bard's verse in the game.

Brando was actually kind of happy.

Fortunately, Madara crushed Vieira. Instead, he was most afraid that the army of Grand Duke Vieira would launch an attack to alert the blood wand beforehand. This dark lord, who was always known for his caution, would turn his army and retreat to the Hillman area. If that were the case, things would be troublesome, because there was another Jeannel in Eruin at the moment, and they were ambushing the blood wand now, just to fight a time lag. If the blood wand was defeated in the ambush, then it would lose its foreign aid and its way back to Madara, and morale would collapse naturally.

But if the sceptre were to crunch in Sylman and give Jean de Neil a hope of breaking in this direction, Toniguer, Vieiro and Lantoniland's army would not have had much time in the hills that had previously left the village behind.

Once Jean Denel is released and the blood wand merges, the chaos in the South does not know when it will end.

But what surprised Brando was that he guessed that Vieiro was rotten from the Cavalier Army, but didn't guess that they were rotten to that extent, and when Caglis' letter said that Vieiro's left wing had been smashed by hundreds of Skull Army, he almost thought it was a joke. But Caglis couldn't have joked with him at this time, so Vieiro's army really collapsed like a miracle.

It's just a miracle stupid.

He bounced the letterhead, then walked aside and grabbed the saddle and rolled over his horse. In the rain, the army was pulling out, and everyone was on horseback; further afield, Tonigal's Young Wizards were assembling under Charles's leadership, and the wizards climbed onto the magically summoned Shadow Warrior, dressed in a uniform silver and grey robe with a hood. And they turned their gaze in this direction, and among them were the magicians from the mercenary corps, the young men who had completed their apprenticeship trials from Valhalla, Cold Cedar Castle, and a handful of Druids from Queenier, and finally the faces of some women, most of whom were pale, cold, cheekbone-high, with a mean look on their face, from all over the place. Convinced by Barbasa and the other two witches to join Brando - or the future dragon of darkness.

But anyway, after all these people came together, Brando finally got the first magician's regiment in the South. A total of one hundred and twenty people, one quarter of them magicians and wizards from various mercenary regiments, two quarters of them academics from Tonigal and Wang Li Knights College, and the last quarter witches and Druids, who in the eyes of the regular army are like beggars, but in the southern realm, are the first of their kind.

The leader of the Magic Corps is naturally Charles, but his deputy is Antitina. Since the curious viewed her gift and accepted her as an apprentice, Antitina has begun to systematically learn magic knowledge. Although she is still an apprentice, her magic technology creation is beyond the reach of most people. Brando is well aware of the future of the Magic Corps, so it's only natural that Antina should sit in this position.

Then there's the wind shooter.

This was detached from the Legion of the Silver Elf Ringo, the legendary army of the Princess Guard, their commander - now or in the past - Metissa sat on a unicorn, with a long gun hanging from her saddle, and her hands together ten times praying. Pray to the wise spirits in the forest to shelter them, so that they may be brave and defeat their enemies, just like the warriors of the old silver elves. It is also a prayer for the souls that passed away in the war. The silver elves' singing voices are empty and faint, making all the tree elf archers stop to listen and reveal their worship.

As for their deputy, Finna has long been a big fan of the Silver Elf Little Princess.

Of all his troops, only the White Lion Guard was the quietest and most orderly, and those young men from Tonigal seemed used to the atmosphere of Brando's, while those officers and soldiers who had mobilized supplements from the original White Lion Regiment were full of curiosity, but they all had a sword in their eyes, a sword that sparkled in Freya's hands, and since the sword had reappeared, the new white lion had a soul.

Their deputy commander, Caglis, is now in the hills of Hillman in the south, and naturally cannot be present in this army.

By Brando, there are now only Hippamilla and Starr, the former wiping the thick surface of the mountains, the rain falling on the stone scepter, the scepter actually emitting a circle of green halo, like life bursting in the mud, full of flourishing atmosphere. But Fatty Dragon didn't dare to say one more word at this time. He roasted Shipamira's shrimp. The Cleric Girl didn't bother him at dinner. Instead, she didn't say a word and threw the mountain directly to the door.

You know, Shipamira benefited the most from the Dead Frost Forest War, and at this moment, strength has returned to the level of elemental manifestation, and with the almost invincible Gaia's scepter, you can imagine what happens to Starr, and from then on it sees Shipamira like a mouse that sees a cat.

The last men and horses to appear in Brando's view were the Knights of the Folds of the Cruz.

These proud knights, one horse after another passing under the hill, raised their swords to show him that, although they were few in number, only a few understood the horror of the knight. Little Pero was still dressed in his thick cape, and the crossbow was stuck under the cape, and he looked up at Brando:

“My lord, is the news reliable? ”

“Undoubtedly reliable.” Brando replied. Little Pelo gave a slight surprise. It was a very difficult thing to follow the army of the dead in this era. This difficulty stemmed mainly from two aspects. On the one hand, the black rose of Bromando rarely appeared in the eyes of the world before that. Even in Eruin's eyes, that dark country was a fragmented and weak country, less than a decade before the first Black Rose War, when the lords of Karasu often led the army into Madara for retaliatory looting.

The spirits of that era, though horrible, were like scattered sands, and they could not help but see their colleagues attacked by humans, so that they could take advantage of the annexation, and Madara, in that era, almost dreamed that a lord wanted to confront the power of a kingdom of Eruin. Therefore, apart from the civilians who have been the victims of the dead in the border areas, Madala is a weak, almost bandit-like country in the mindset of the Eruin nobility, and they do not know or despise to know anything about the country.

The Black Rose War has been a stunning nightmare for the entire kingdom of Eruin, in fact, until now nobles do not know where they have lost, and the previous tragic defeat of the Vieiro army on the blood cane illustrates everything.

So this is a kingdom of ignorance, a mystery in itself.

On the other hand, the enormous difference between the dead and the living makes it very difficult for mankind to repel the desire to approach the army of the dead. This is the most difficult issue to solve until Madara confronts St. Osor. Although Madara had never bordered the Cruz Empire on land, Little Pello and his college factions from those classes were well aware of this, and were highly skeptical of Brando's eloquence.

Brando's self-confidence stems from timeless knowledge, and in future generations there are many ways for Pokémon to deal with these bone skeletons, and Caglis taught himself that it is not difficult to bypass the army of blood canes. At the time he personally led the refugees out of Madara's sight while he was in Butch, and Caglis led a few scouts behind the army, which is even simpler, not to mention that Madara did not really understand how many loopholes she had in her investigative methods in this era.

Pello Jr. gave a faraway salute to the lord: "Now that the lord is certain that the scepter will not retreat for a moment and a half, wait for our good news. ”

Brando nodded, and the young men of the Knights of the Folds, under his gaze, zipped up the hood of the cape, turned around and left to the south. But for a moment, there was only a shadow of a flying cloak in the rain. By this time Freya had come to the forefront of the White Lion Guard.

“Brando,” she exclaimed, "Ike's got us. ”

“Then let's go,” Brandoeon stood in the rain and replied in a whimsical manner: "Let the knights of Vieiro know that the times have abandoned them and welcome them to the future, this new era! ”

Freya slightly shrugged.

Charles whistled, laughing: "Come on, Freya, lord. I mean, it's a pig teammate, but it has to be saved. ”
