The Amber Sword

Caglis suppressed the tension in his heart, bringing everything he saw, and after the defeat of the Vieiro left wing, Count Jacques placed his defensive position in a woodland, hoping to limit the performance of the Maddala Skeleton Cavalry and Fear by virtue of its topographical advantage. After the loss of the left wing, the longitudinal width of the Vieiran defense became extremely narrow, caught in the three-sided siege of the Undead Army, the Maddala side sent skull swordsmen to attack, the Vieiran elite crossbowmen were almost non-lethal to the bone skeleton, only the temple priest of flames sanctified crossbows had the desired effect, but too few in number, which could be said to have had little effect on the battlefield. Skeleton Swordsmen are slightly less powerful than human soldiers, outnumbered by a large number, the Vieiro elite crossbowmen are unable to play their part, and the remaining more than 1,000 knights and heavy-duty infantry are in a bitter battle.

Like all human armies engaged in fighting against the dead, the resistance of the Vieirans is very tenacious, as is the common practice of the dark nobles of Madara, who have responded with a simple and costly exchange of casualties with the Vieirans. When Brando heard about it, he understood that Count Jacques was a few murderers, that the skeletons were arrow resistant, that the Vieiros had not brought enough military priests with them, that it was a suicide search, that they had great experience in countering Madara, that the army of the dead was tired and unaffected by casualties, but that humanity could not accept the kind of despair that a comrade had fallen beside itself. Indeed, the Vieiros soon fell into chaos.

“So the Vieiros are dying?” Brando asked.

“Almost finished, Lord, but with Madala's infantry still at stake. The Viero elite crossbowmen pose little threat to the skeleton, but a great threat to the fear. In this battle, the scepter broke two spirits, presumably vowing to take over the Viero elite force. Moreover, the current exchange was more beneficial to them and there was no reason to let go of the opportunity. ”

“You saw it? ”

“With your own eyes, my lord. ”

“So how do you feel about both sides?” Brando sat on the back of his horse and asked pointlessly.

“The Vieiros were a joke from the knights. In my opinion, they should not have come at all. The knights could have tormented Count Jacques. Without them, the Vieiros would not have lost so much. ”

“Grand Duke Vieiro can't stop them from coming.” Brando laughed and said sarcastically.

Others around him had to frown. Especially those from aristocratic families such as Caglis, whose ministers served their lords. This is a biblical tradition that Eruin and Cruz have maintained for centuries. It also seems natural, it's no big deal, but how can it seem that suddenly it has become a great evil? It is only Brando who understands that the battle of the past lords, winning or losing, does not really matter, it is nothing more than losing a little money, it is an aristocratic war; but from this era onwards, the war begins with the annexation of the country and the territory, and from this moment onwards, the victory or failure of the war is related to the survival of life and death, and the inefficient composition of the army begins to become a fatal weakness.

“Where are the others? ”

“Fortunately, Tomobo's noble knights and heavy infantry have the strength of the Port Ambethel Guard and the Southern Legion, but the numbers are too small, and if the elite crossbowmen can play the role they deserve, they can still fight now..." Caglis said. Uncle Tommo is the real name of Count Jacques, and Caglis has always been cynical, so it is already courageous to call him by his name instead of giving him a nickname for noble lords other than Brando and Her Royal Highness, and what he calls being able to fight in the first place and only positively against the army of 4,000 skeletons, the scepter did not put the elite into a positive battle.

“Where's the Lantonian? ”

“Ike was stopped by Madara's skeletal cavalry, and across the street from us, they always wanted to support Tombo, but those skeletons didn't give him the chance. But the Rantonians were amazing, they didn't take advantage, and I saw Eko and his knights hanging around with the skeleton cavalry, waiting for us to get to the battlefield. ”

Brando laughed, directing this army must be Ike's fiancée, Yura, the blind girl with the talent of Jiufeng, a true celebrity, if she hadn't died too early in history with Ike, then Eluin's history might have looked different. At that time, there were several strong men in the south, in addition to Ike and Yura, and Kevin in front of them. If the three men could join forces, together with the highland knights, Madara's aggression would not have been so smooth, when the scepter was ambushed in the Tosancad forest, where Yura also played an important role.

“Tell me about Madara.” He deliberately raised his voice a little, and indeed everyone else raised their ears, and here most, with the exception of Brando, are curious about the ‘opponent' whom the Lord has always attached great importance to. In their hearings, those bone skeletons are not worth mentioning, not even the mercenaries who escaped from Butch thought that Madara would be the enemy of Eruin, who were more or less influenced by such ideas, but what they saw today seemed to show them the other side of that Bromando rose.

Utah was fully armed and sat on the saddle. The head of the mercenary group was very uncomfortable with the heavy armor on her body, but she loved to let go. This beautiful armor, fully decorated with floats, now proves the identity of the nobleman of her kingdom, the chief knight, which is exactly what she had always wanted. If she had that identity, perhaps she would have been able to protect her sister by then, and she sighed herself. And when he heard Brando, Utah whispered again and turned back to Vern beside him and said, “Lord, here we go again. ”

The cavalry chief from the Karasou cavalry glanced at her, a little cold and unanswered.

“Are those skeletons really that powerful? ”

“Stronger than you think, but not as outrageous as Lord says.” Vern replied.

“I think it's just that Lord Bucci was probably freaked out by them. Oh, our Lord is a little incredible, young and handsome, but he's just a kid after all.” Utah laughed.

Vern glanced at her, saying that it was somewhat too disrespectful. The blood wand had deep blood enemies for every Karasu, and he was no exception. The Lord kept his promise of the day to bring him here. All he could think about was gratitude. When he thought about the chance to kill the blood wand himself, the head of the mercenary regiment from the Karasu cavalry felt that all his warm blood was going to boil. Of course, there may be some sympathy in his heart for Yuta's words, but he would never describe the Lord that way.

At this moment, in front of Brando, Caglis silenced for a moment: "I would hate to be their enemy, if I could, but I would have to kill them completely, and I would be tired of thinking about it. ”

“That's all? ”

“A little bit stronger. ”

“Strong?”

“There was a skeleton swordsman who defeated Tomob, and his costume was something I hadn't seen before —— more powerful than a regular skeleton skeleton, but strangely, we had never heard of such a skeleton swordsman before. I suspect that, in addition to the Horror and Skeleton Cavalry, Madara has many high-ranking, formed armies that we have not heard of, which have never appeared in previous wars.” Caglis replied at his discretion.

“Describe it? ”

“The skull swordsman is somewhat different from the average bone skeleton, and they use a large sword with one wide hand. ”

“Two-handed swordsman. ”

“Yes, two-handed swordsman.” Caglis nods his head: “Unlike the locking armor of ordinary skeletons, they wear black half-arms, but not helmets, as if they were wearing iron feet. ”

“Is there a spider embossed on the chest armor of the half-body? ”

Caglis looked up at Brando in surprise: "Lord, have you seen them? ”

Brando smiled and came, Spider Swordsman. He looked at Caglis and continued, “And then what? ”

“They are powerful," said Caglis, a little uncertain that he understood his mission before going to Hillman, so in addition to what Brando taught him about Madara, he borrowed information specifically from Antitina about that dark kingdom, but there was no such strange two-handed swordsman in that book, and he increasingly felt that his lord was a little extraordinary, so he replied cautiously: "Normal knights are not their adversaries, they have at least the strength of a three-ranking army. ”

“Third class, formed army?” Vern finally couldn't help but say, “That's impossible! ”

Madara does have many high-ranking dead spirits, of which bone dragons are creatures up to the ninth rank. In that year, there were three skull dragons in the army of Installon, but they were like the presence of a rank of generals in the army of Eruin. Once they appeared on the battlefield, they were often prominent targets, and Eruin also had an expert in the chemistry of elements, so when these high-ranking creatures appeared on the battlefield, they were often unlikely to cause much damage to the army in general.

In Warnde's military doctrine, only formed high-ranking creatures can be called high-ranking armies.

But Madara, like Eruin, lacks a high-ranking army, which is based on skeletons and zombies, even inferior to human soldiers, slightly higher ranked by black knights and ghosts (pale riders are also a kind of ghost), but in too few numbers. Had it not been for the unique attributes of the dead, Madala would have been even worse off in terms of military power than the small country of Eruin, so that in the last millennium the two sides had been able to interact and even once the kingdom had prevailed.

That's why Caglis' words made Vern the first person to deal with bone skeletons the most incredible.

“But if Madara had these armies, why had they been hiding before, and if they wanted to strike one of us unexpectedly, now does not seem the time.” Utah couldn't help wondering.

Brando shook his head, and that was the general psychology of the Eruins in this day and age, and even those around him were unaware of what had happened on that land in the east. But only he knew that Caglis was not lying, that Madara had never hidden her army, and that there was no need to hide anything from a weak country like Eru today, except that the Spider Swordsmen had never appeared in the war against Eru 'in before, because they had also just joined Madara's war sequence.

Fear, skeletal cavalry, and now spider swordsman, today's Madara, although there is no historical tama, still possesses these brand-new kinds of troops, and one's gains and losses certainly cannot change history. Madara's vast territory in the four directions and the power that comes after is just too horrible, and there will be more in the future, and now it is just the beginning. Brando laughed, and if he told these people that the Spider Swordsman would be Madara's base infantry in the future, I wonder how these people would feel?

After the Third Black Rose War, Madara did not hesitate to rebuild the Skeleton Warrior, it was simply a waste of soul energy. From then on, Madara's lowest rank was the Vengeful Spider Swordsman, who had evolved into a four-stage rank.

“That's why you heard,” Brando said. "The opponent you're about to face before us is probably a dead army with three ranks, and four ranks of the Air Force. This is an army very different from the Krutz, the Lions, even the devil, and you will soon see what this army is all about. ”

The young men of the White Lion Guard heard their lord say so, silence continued, and Brando glanced at everyone on the forest border and gently set his hand.

“But none of this matters. ”

He suddenly smiled and revealed Bryson's teeth.

“It is important that we crush them here today and tell the world that the enemies of Madara today - who will be filled with ancient glory - will return to the kingdom of this world from the long roll of history. ”

“It's the white lion, the golden sword, the guardian's oath, with the ancient faith. ”

“Yes," the Count rode on the horse's back, pausing as if to exhale the last breath in his chest: "Our fatherland, Eruin--”

The voice is not high, as if it were scattered in the rain screen, but it makes everyone's chest bloodbath, as if infinite courage had been created, so that everyone could not help but play long and fight with their swords. Brando raised his hand, above the valley, above the forest border, the flag bearers raised, the flag of Holy White rose with the wind, the side appeared in the mist, the hunting sounded, the crescent moon of the kingdom on it, the pine mountains of the pines, the pine needles of the fallen leaves, the ice and snow of the north, as if bearing the history of a kingdom, is once again on this land.

It has a white lion crest on it.

No. Hand placed the trombone on the lip, raised the mumps, and blew hard.

And it was as if it had opened a mist,

……

“Who's in front of us?” Brando suddenly asked.

“It is two regiments from the Sea of the Dead Moon, and I have ascertained that the commander is Ser Mergkin the 'Dead Language' and the silencer Viskag, whose composition is essentially that of a spider swordsman, with a small number of skeletal cavalry, should be the elite of a blood wand. ”

“It has nothing to do with the staff, it's the Imperial College.” Brando laughed.

“The Imperial College? ”

“Nothing, let's run over them first, sort of say hello to the blood wand. ”

Yuyang Long rang all over the valley, the first to react was the Lantonian, and as soon as he heard the thick, heavy Longhorn Longhorn, Ike's eyes lit up, he strained the reins, turned around on the horse's back, and turned back and shouted, “Listen, which way is the sound coming from?” The Rantonian knights turned around, and a moment later someone shouted, “It's the West, the West! ”

“Ha ha, the Tonigars are here!” Eko pulled out his sword, turned his horse's head, and shouted, “Lord Count is greeting the blood wand, we Lantonilans can't tell them to look down, come on, we play the sign too! Get ready to turn around. It's time to give those half-tuned bone skeleton cavalry a good look! ”

After being chased back by a group of opponents much worse than themselves, the knights held their breath long before dying. At this moment, they couldn't help but cheer, a mountain in the valley for a tsunami.

The whining sounds echo each other, passing through the valley along with the wind and rain.

Count Jacques, full of blood, raised his head and listened carefully to the noise, “The Tonigars are here, they and the Lantonilans informed us...” This righteous soldier couldn't help but cry at this moment, two lines of hot blood washing down from the blood scale, long mourning: “But what use are they coming? It's useless, I'm sorry for them, I'm sorry for them, back off, we're hopeless! At least don't all die here. Tell Her Royal Highness, tell the Duke that Madara is no longer that Madara! No. Tell them to retreat, retreat, retreat, the dead spirit hasn't targeted them--”

No. Hands stood beside their lords, and all could not bear to face each other.

Do you want to play the trumpet?

If they blow, they're dead, no one's coming to rescue them, they're surrounded, there's only one way to die. But what if it blows? What good is that, as the Count said? Even the Lantonians can't break through their defenses. What is Tonigars? That place, it's just a remote place, and perhaps the present lord is the future master of the kingdom, and may even be the only sword saint of Eruin's new generation for decades, but so what?

A man cannot dictate the battle.

The noblemen could not do so, intellectually told them to blow the trumpet, but emotionally these cowardly kingdom nobles could not accept what had been abandoned by the friendly armies, who could not bear to look at the trumpet hand and shake their heads dead.

“Gentlemen," Count Jacques of course noticed his colleagues' little moves - until this point, can't they just let go of their little thoughts? He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and some of them were impatient to say, "Do you have sons and daughters, and would you like them to die in despair and sorrow, just like we do today?" You are soldiers. Perhaps the word "duty" is too far away for you, but protecting your wives and daughters is for human instinct. That is all I have said. Do you still want to block it? ”

Count Zlin, who was dying to shake his head, froze there for a moment.

Children and children, that is the hope inherited from the nobles, even if they are indifferent as iron, cannot help but shake at this moment.

Beneath the same sky, the blood wand is staring silently at the shadowy sky, as if it could see the sound of the long trumpet echoing in the middle of the sky, half-way down its head, whispering: “Where is this army? ”

“The undead human wounded said, as if they were from Tonigal. ”

“Tony Gale?” The sceptre is slight: “What is that place? ”

“I'm very sorry, my men have not heard of it either, my lord. ”
