The Amber Sword

At around 3 p.m., the haze of the sky swept away during the Valhalla transfer finally closed again, and the brief sunny weather disappeared on both sides of the Paris Valley, and the sky began to drift back into snowflakes and grey.

The vast fleet of Sarzards and Tonigars gathered slowly to the north but separated less than half an hour later - the remnants of the cluster army and the nightingales in the sky began to flee, and the fleet was scattered over a dozen units to pursue in a stand-alone fleet.

The leaded grey sky reveals such a view that the fleet of sporadic skies unfolds like scattered sharks in a huge fan-shaped shape, like a giant hand covering the entire Plains of Paris, backed by a strong smoke background across the horizon.

From time to time, the sky flashed through the flares of shelling, and occasionally there was a continuous roar coming from far north, but the explosion was getting farther and farther away from the banks of the Old River.

The armies of the defeated northern nobles on the ground were not struck from the sky, but after the fighting on the ground ended, Tonigal's forces on the ground began to gather and receive prisoners under Brando's orders.

Although the private armies of these aristocrats were no longer the main rivals of the Lord of Cold Cedars in this war, Brando could not allow them to migrate in the south.

Unrestrained armies sometimes cause far more damage than leeches, and Erouin's southern realm has just recovered from several wars and must not suffer yet again because of his negligence.

Fortunately, most people have lost their will to resist - even if it has collapsed - and they have almost no resistance in the face of the Tonigars' harvest, and even if there are occasional stubborn elements, the caveman army that eventually joined the battle is enough to quickly crush all resistance.

When Brando gave the order, he flew back into the sky, looking halfway into the post-war Plains of Paris. This terrible war turned almost the entire battlefield into scorched earth, and the passing of the cluster army left a strong trace of chaotic magic, and the battlefield was filled with crystal clusters ranging from blue to purple - this is the materialization of chaotic magic, and these residues will continue to contaminate the land, corrupt vegetation and create a disease called crystallization disease for more than a decade.

In addition to these unnaturally distorted magic products, the scorched black lands are the result of the destruction fires of two vast fleets, which inevitably face such losses in mankind's own homeland, but they are also inevitable choices for survival and victory.

The land between the black and red, as well as crystal contamination in the distance and close proximity, together with the wreckage of several fallen floating warships in the distance. Once the scenic Plains of Paris disappeared, leaving behind an ugly, distorted scar, perhaps not healed until decades later - until the contamination of the crystal disappeared and the green vegetation covered the land again.

Brando sighed a little unfortunately, but he knew in his heart that it was just the beginning, that the advent of the battle of dusk was inevitable, and that no one knew what kind of future awaited the world.

And all he could do was do everything possible to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy of that world of stagnation on this land.

Fortunately, there is still hope.

His eyes searched for something above the ruins of Mintai City, while contacting Monica through a magic network of world trees covering both sides of the Old River Beach.

Miss Kwang Ling's voice was distorted in the magic net, and she said with a sharp scream: “Lord, here is good news. I have just asked the survivors from the direction of Lord Mintai to know that at least before we launched the counter-attack, Miss Nimatis and Lord 'Red Copper Dragon' Retto were fine, but then they joined us in launching a counter-attack against the noble army in the direction of Lord Goran-Elson, and there is no follow-up information here for the time being. ”

Brando was a little relaxed, although he actually had a hunch about it, and when he first arrived here, he noticed that Mintai's defenses had not completely collapsed, indicating that there were still people in the city organizing defenses - either Sister Baiqiao or Red Copper Dragon Retto.

“There is also news here, Lord Lord.” Monica said again.

“Hmm?”

“... well, there's someone here who wants to see you, and she says she's your acquaintance. ”

“My acquaintance?” Brando was stunned, and there were many people in Tonigal who were his‘ acquaintances', but not many of these acquaintances Monica knew. Listening to Miss Kwang Ling, this is obviously a familiar person she has not met: "Where are you? ”

“We are in the ruins of Mintai City, can you see us? ”

“I see you.” In fact, Brando had already seen Miss Light and the ‘lady’ standing beside her, and couldn't help but smile.

“Miss Elaine? ”

Brando fell slowly from the air, some surprised to see the deer witch standing next to Monica, who had fought alongside him for some time in Traciman's mausoleum. But she seemed weaker than then, and crystallography had spread all over her right arm and back, and the combination of purple crystals and muscle tissue seemed somewhat scary.

But Elaine didn't seem to have been crushed by crystallization, and when she saw Brando, she had that familiar smile on her face: "Little guy, we meet again. ”

Monica looked at the deer witch, looked at Brando again, blinked her eyes and always felt like she was missing something.

“Can you leave Lord Traciman's grave now?” Brando asked unexpectedly.

Elaine shook her head: "No, I left the adult tomb for the same thing, and I felt the smell of the dragon of dusk behind those people, you know —— that old opponent of my master. ”

Brando, of course, understood the resentment between the Dark Dragon and the Generation of Travel Mages and the Dusk Dragon, and nodded: "They are Salad, the Buga Grey Mages, who have chosen to turn to the Dusk Dragon. ”

“I know them, little one," Brando unexpectedly replied, “I came to the ground to remind you that these people are coming oddly. ”

“Weird?” Brando was stunned and looked at each other strangely. He didn't really understand what kind of weirdness was meant by the so-called queen of deer.

“Little fellow, you probably don't know what these Sardinian grey magicians were looking for all over Tonigal before the war began. ”

“Ah," Monica on the other side reacted, hurrying to say, “I remember, those nasty mice are still in our fortress, but it seems Lord Babu has overwhelmed them. Would you like to see them, Lord? ”

“I don't think they'll tell you the answer. ”

Elaine shook her head: “I caught a lot of them privately, and these wizards themselves didn't know what they were looking for, they were just looking for the magical convergence point beneath Tonigal, and I think what they were looking for had something to do with the seal I guarded. ”

Brando frowned: "Madam Elaine, what exactly is that seal that Lord Traciman and the Witch Queen guard? ”

“I don't know,” Elaine shook her head: "Maybe it's something really important, but my master never revealed a little bit of information to me and that stupid pendulum. ”

Brando shrugged his shoulders.

Elaine's words remind him of something, but overall, the clues are still a mess. He knows that a thousand years ago, Odin and the King of Fire began to lay out in Eruin, and Martha and the Dragon of Dusk also looked at this place —— in short, this little kingdom is a mess right now.

Perhaps Tonigal's underground presence is not necessarily important. Perhaps it is the Seven Swords of Light that have been lost for a long time. He may find out the truth sooner or later, but now he really doesn't have the heart to think about it.

At least now Dusk Dragon's claws have been retracted, and Tonigal will be safe for now until the wounds are repaired. Just watch out for the infiltration of the Sassards' wizards, but Brando has good reason to believe that these nasty grey wizards won't have time to do anything else any time soon.

He looked up at the gray sky.

“I owe you another debt, Ms. Elaine. ”

Brando can certainly see that there was a war here, and the stone statues and vines of the aristocratic armies that stood on the ruins illustrated everything.

This is a strategic road to Fort Mintel, if not for Erin to block the armies of the Duke of Goran-Elson here, with the dots of Sister White and Leto, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for Fort Valhalla to come and support us.

Sometimes Brando has to admit that fate is sometimes full of coincidences.

Had it not been for his accidental encounter in the catacombs, he would not have been able to defeat Williams, let alone the army of the Cruz Empire and the Temple of Fire, by relying on this set of cards.

And today, if it weren't for the deer demon sister, he might have had to face the tragedy of history once again over the land of Eruin.

The sister-in-law of the deer shows a very handsome smile on her face: “Then remember what you owe me. How are you going to repay me? Don't forget that you are my little lover. ”

“Little lover?” Monica curiously twirled her little head aside, her eyes couldn't help staring bigger.

Brando coughed a little embarrassingly and remembered the ridiculous scene that had taken place in the tomb, and he said with some embarrassment: "Miss Elaine, do you remember what I promised you, and I think I've found a way to fix it. ”

Elaine smiled slightly, but then her eyes lit up: “Are you serious, little guy? ”

She was so excited that her tone shivered a little.

Though she lived with her own companions for thousands of years in the dark after much longer lives than humankind, such experiences made her lose sight of life and death.

But if we can keep living, no one will choose to die, will they?

Even though Elaine understood that Brando would not joke with her about such things, she couldn't help but have an unbelievable feeling of dizziness.

“Did you, did you really do it, little guy? ”

“Of course it's true.” Brando couldn't help but be happy to see the sister-in-law of the deer body so excited that there may be some sequelae to purifying crystallization with the Fountain of Life, but there is no problem with the more powerful dragon blood pool.

“I'm not mistaken about you, little guy...” Elaine quivered a little. She lifted her hand and mumbled with Brando's face. “Thank you, my little lover. ”

Normally, Brando might find it a little embarrassing to be held down in the face by a woman who was almost two heads taller, but at this point he could fully appreciate the sincere feelings in Elaine's heart - feelings that, although she said that Brando was her little lover, were more attractive than heterosexuality, such as a silent affair.

It's like between sisters.

After a while, Elaine calmed down and a little shyness flashed in her green eyes. She grabbed Brando's hand and said, "Thank you, little man. You've done so much for me, and I'm going to do something for you. ”

“How…? ”

“Aren't you looking for your other little lover? I know where she is. Come on, get on my back. I'll take you to her. ”

Brando couldn't help but refuse: “Ms. Elaine, I can keep up with you. As for the second request... don't. ”

But Elaine showed some anger: "Little man, you saved my life, can't I even repay this? Yes, our family hates them the most, but if it's my dearest brother and lover, of course, the exception is...”

She blinked at Brando.

“Ah," said the light spirit lady beside him, shaking her little head very cleverly, "Monica saw nothing! ”
