The Amber Sword

“Count, I promised my old man I'd take care of Sebastian, and I was a man, and I had to keep my word, and now Sebastian is gone, and I know this goddamn fog is weird, and you have no obligation, but I want to leave alone and go see that place yesterday, and even if I lost my life because of it, at least I can tell my old man. ”

That wrinkled his eyebrows, and he was obviously ready to say it, and when he saw Brando, he said it. He carried a bow, wore a smuggler's walking head, wore a turban, wore a pair of deer leather boots, and a dark, short sword hung on his waist.

“What is that place?” Brando asked.

“Sebastian said he saw a forest in the fog, and when I was younger, I heard stories about ghosts who had lost their names, and I told him not to do much. Besides, where's the woods in that fog? I remember that place, and I went there by myself, and it was only half a day away. ”

“Did he go in? ”

“No, Sebastian, he was gone at night, and at about eight or nine o'clock, he couldn't sleep, and he talked to me about the woods, and he complained that I didn't tell you about the woods, that with the reference, maybe we wouldn't have to circle in the mist. But he's still a young man, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't know anything, he can't say anything at all, I reproach him for telling him not to think about going to bed, he didn't promise me, I went back —— where's his shadow in the tent? ”

The Singh's throat shrugged and revealed some frightening glimpses: “I was afraid he would run out on his own and do something stupid, I thought he was out of the tent, but when I chased him out, all I could see was his back in the fog, Count, where he was at least a hundred yards away from my tent, Sebastian the child I had not taught him martial arts, blinking kung fu, he could never get that far, I could not call his name fatally, but he didn't hear me, as if he had gone mad and went deep into the fog. ”

“I put on my jacket and chased over, but before I could get close, I felt hit from the back… It was already morning when I woke up again. ”

Brando persuaded him to say, "Don't worry, Mr. Nassin, we may not be able to help you. Sebastian has been missing all night. You might want to stay and wait a little longer. You're an informant. We might need your help later. ”

“But, my lord...”

“It doesn't matter, we're circling in this fog anyway, Sebastian. He's not necessarily wrong, since someone saw the fog in the woods, it means it was at least there. ”

He turned around and said, "Did the missing sailors see the woods too? ”

Delphine nodded: "At least three people have mentioned the woods or similar words to others, and the situation is similar to that of Sebastian, although sailors think they are bewitched by the ghosts in the mist. ”

“You see, Mr. Nassin,” Brando turned back and said to Nassin, "Now the thing behind this fog is leaking out of the horse's foot, you just said you know the place, can you take us there? ”

“My Lord...? ”

“Don't worry, we're a team now, today is Sebastian, and tomorrow won't necessarily be every one of us, rather than wasting time here aimlessly, grasp the clue in front of us, don't you think?” Brando comforted him.

Sinn paid tribute and bent down and bowed deeply to the Earl from Eluin.

Brando turned around and said to Metisa, "You tell Instaron to spread out the skeleton soldiers, form a reconnaissance team, and we'll go back the way we were and search again until we find that forest. ”

The fairy princess nodded, indicating that she understood, and she asked: "Is there anything else you need to tell me, Lord? ”

Brando thought about it and called her, "Tell him to divide the skeleton soldiers into one unit, each equipped with two corpse witches instead of one, one of which must be an intermediate corpse witch, who is responsible only for the communication between the team and the team, and the team's centre is still the lower corpse witch. ”

This was the most classic military structure of the previous generation, Madara, which lasted until before the stars after the Second Black Rose War, and its effectiveness was naturally demonstrated by future generations.

He didn't want to reveal the secret, but instead he thought of limiting it to a limited number of middle-class spirits of the Dead Moon Empire, a military structure that would not be as threatening to Eruin as a genius general himself, such as Installon, until they found a more effective way to transform the dead.

But for Instarone and Tagus, this little secret is worth a fortune, and at least part of the dying spirit of an efficient organization can be obtained for a new generation of dark aristocrats with traditional power behind them.

“But I hope you don't let me see it in this way on the battlefield of Eruin, otherwise you're in bad luck.” Brando looked at Metisa's far back and couldn't help but think.

The dead spirit abandoned this traditional way of organizing itself after the year of astrology, naturally due to its own defects. It was the most efficient and even refreshing form of composition for the Dead Moon Empire in this era, but it was always easy to identify the negligence of the predecessors from the perspective of the future.

“The teacher is a true gentleman," Phoenix listened to Brando to Nassin, praising Mr. Liu beside himself: “Even in Jiufeng, we rarely see such a brilliant man. ”

“A knight like Mr. Brando is not very common, Miss Phoenix.” Mr. Liu also agreed, and he lamented: “The point is that he is still so young, he seems to have some idea of how the Dead Spirits are organized. I haven't been to Warnde in over a decade, and I didn't expect to see such a figure there. ”

The phoenix nodded gently.

Instaron and Tagus are naturally the people who know the goods, and if they were a stubborn old spiritual lord, Metissa would finger and peg it with the means of arranging a skeleton soldier, and perhaps not hesitate - when is it the turn of an elf to intervene in the affairs of the spirits?

But two of Madara's best partners in history saw at first sight the value of Brando's advice to them, and after Metisa's departure, they looked at each other and saw deep suspicions in each other's eyes:

An aristocratic Earl of Eluin knows better than their traditional Dead Moon aristocrats how to organize the Dead Souls, and can propose further ways to improve them. Both brains are ordinary and naturally understand that Brando, the opponent, dares to tell them this method without fear of their future use in the battlefield of Eruin.

This means at least that the other person is not one step ahead of them, but two steps or even more.

Instarone took the lead in sighing:

“The Count is gaining weight in my mind, old man, and if there was something I didn't like before, now I really want him to join us. He's definitely going to be the shiniest star of the dead moon, and Tarig can't even compare to him, but this is a stubborn guy, Tagus. What can you do? ”

Tagus thought about it, as if he had given it some serious thought, but finally he shook his head slightly: "Unless His Majesty is willing to compromise on the issue of Eruin, the Count seems to have some obsession with that ancient kingdom, and you should be aware of his hostility towards us, and he knows exactly what we are going to do. ”

“It is this wisdom that insights into the future,” said Stallone, a little helpless: “At this time I hope that the Count is one of those greedy old men who can betray anything for their benefit, who never talk about loyalty and glory, but only about power and status. ”

“It is up to His Majesty to decide that the Count is not as tough as you think, at least in Eruin, he and the Royal Party who support the Royal Family are not all the way. Do you know why he let the prince go, because Toniguer didn't want to stand on the tip of the wind? ”

Brando would have been surprised to hear Tagus speak here about the vampire's deep understanding of the situation in Eruin, but it had nothing to do with the release of the eldest prince - that was Her Royal Highness's decision.

Although he understood later, it was Griffy who, after all, had some political skill to protect him.

Not long after the skeleton soldiers were dispersed in Brando's way to form a scout squad, the message came back and found something.

To be exact, a forest was discovered.

But these woods are somewhat unusual.

When Brando arrived there, he saw a 'forest’ standing in the fog. But it was a forest of crystals that grew clusters on the ground, and the soil was completely crystallized, reflecting bright lights.

When Nassin walked up to this crystal forest with him, he almost stuck around and mumbled: “How is it possible… this is the forest Sebastian saw…? ”

“Is this it? ”

“Yes… yes…” Nashin looked around: “There is another mound over there, I remember very clearly, we passed from the top of that mound, Sebastian said he saw a forest on the left, but I swear to Lord Martha, there was absolutely nothing here yesterday when we passed here! ”

“How big is this place? ”

Brando asked back.

“Instarone has allowed two squad skeleton soldiers to march east and west along the periphery of the forest, yet to see their heads, for almost a minute.” Delphine replied.
