Act 76 Night Attack (Part 2)
;
Reddy and the people around him were getting closer and closer, and the two slender figures were like ghosts floating in the forest. Everyone stopped and looked in that direction. Antitina lowered her head to make an estimate, her expression changed, and she immediately raised her head to look at Brando, her black gem-like eyes filled with anxiety——
Their camp is in the clearing in the forest. At this moment, Lubis's mercenaries have put away their tents. Even if the other party is just passing by the edge of the forest, they will definitely notice something abnormal.
"Be patient." But Brando stared in that direction and just replied.
Although most of the people present may not understand what 'calm down' means, they unconsciously calmed down at this moment - Brando raised his hand, and the calm and calm expression on his face made people feel sure , which gives others an obvious hint - don't act rashly.
Antitina opened her mouth slightly.
As Brando's summons, the 'Mercenary of Lubis' has the first duty to carry out the orders of the Planeswalker. Even if there is a cliff in front of them, they will not hesitate if Brando asks them to move forward, let alone this little one. Small request. But in the eyes of the noble daughter, these veterans who seemed to have experienced hundreds of battles and were supposed to be extremely proud were silenced just because of Brando's small action. The extent of the orders and prohibitions was shocking.
No one spoke.
She held her breath subconsciously, not even daring to take a breath.
The wind roared overhead in the valley. The wind rushed from the mountain pass in the south, passing through the branches like an invisible hand, and the leaves on the top layer of the tree crown made a rustling sound. The dancing branches made the dim starlight change, and the interlaced light and shadow fell on Reddy's face, making the white-haired young man's face look a little gloomy.
He and his companions walked through an open bush. The two of them seemed not as cautious as Brando expected. It could be said that they didn't care about the 'crackling' sound they made when they stepped on dead branches. Brando suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Macaro probably didn't tell too many people that their camp was in this direction, which meant that Reddy probably didn't know that the two of them were approaching Brando and his party.
"The Maned Wolf doesn't want to cause trouble?" Brando thought to himself.
Less than a hundred feet away.
Brando believed that as long as the guy walked to the edge of the forest, he would definitely find something abnormal here. When the time comes, he only needs to insist that it is because he is worried about his own group, and they will really be unable to argue. Although these two guys seem to be very suspicious at the moment, Macaro must be more willing to believe in his own team members.
He was just as nervous in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. The young man looked to one side, and the mercenary called "Tiger Bird" over there was also asking him with his eyes - he was the leader of this line of mercenaries, and he seemed to have gathered the concept of mercenary leader - Sophisticated and wise. The meaning of this old mercenary is very clear: Do you want to preemptively kill the opponent?
But do it? Easier said than done.
This is a very common choice for mercenaries.
Brando struggled. Although this was not the first time he had killed someone, this time it was different. In Yusongbao, there is no room for life and death. Brando is not pedantic enough to ignore other people's threats to his life. But in the final analysis, half of his soul still comes from civilized society. He still instinctively resists killing people just because of a suspicion without hesitation. It's just that he doesn't understand that indecisiveness is a taboo for people in this position.
He closed his eyes and took a breath.
Do you want to obey the will of this world and completely cut yourself off from the past? Or should we stick to the last bottom line? He is Brando, but he also has the mark of Sophie in his soul. If he denies this, then he is denying everything in the past.
Maybe that reality was originally a mirror image.
Otherwise, how could I be in this world at this moment - Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, who can tell clearly? But the memories of the past world are so profound. The joy and sorrow at a certain point in time in the past seem to be engraved on the memories of yesterday. How can we deny it?
If the memory of the past is cut off, then what is the meaning of all his efforts now. If a person loses his soul, should he still be called a human being? Even if it is, I'm afraid it's not the original one.
For a moment, messy thoughts filled his mind, but it was like a sharp sword cutting through all the knots in an instant. He opened his eyes like the Macedonian king, his eyes clear, and he found his answer.
"Lord Lord?"
Antitina keenly saw through Brando's hesitation, and she couldn't help being slightly startled. She originally thought that such a decision was a matter of course for a decisive young noble like Brando, a choice that did not need to be considered at all.
This is originally the rule of the game between nobles——
Brando heard the girl's question and looked back at her. The noble daughter couldn't help but be stunned again. She never thought that Brando would show such a look - self-deprecating, relaxed but with a trace of regret? She didn't know where the young knight's compassionate eyes came from, and when Eruin's cold-blooded nobles would be like this.
Perhaps it was crocodile tears, but it didn't seem necessary. Or is it that the highland knights of Karasu still follow those ancient precepts to this day?
When Brando raised his hand, he felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, but when he put it down, he felt extremely relaxed: "Be prepared. But if possible, try to only knock him out. I don't want to completely fall out with the Maned Wolf Macaro. "He ordered in an imperceptible voice. He didn't know if he would be seen as a fool by others if he did this, but if he didn't, he would definitely be a fool.
Lubis's mercenaries nodded together. As summoned creatures, they had no right to evaluate or question their lord's decision. It's just that there is still more or less a pity in the eyes of 'Tiger Bird'. To achieve a once and for all solution, we still have to choose a more decisive approach. On the other hand, Antitina let out a sigh of relief.
The girl's eyelashes moved and she couldn't help but look at Brando with a new look. For the first time, she discovered that the young lord she was following, who was almost the same age as him, seemed to have some qualities that she didn't know about. She couldn't tell whether this trait was good or bad, but it seemed to be incompatible with this ancient world. For some reason, she didn't feel unnatural at all. On the contrary, this girl from a noble family felt at ease for the first time in a long time.
Seventy feet.
"Brando." At this time, Roman called nervously from the side.
Brando was stunned for a moment, but still whispered: "Don't make any sound."
The businesswoman thought for a moment, then nodded.
Lubis's mercenaries were all in position, waiting for Reddy and another man to swarm up as soon as they approached the edge of the forest glade. Twelve experienced soldiers with mid-range black iron strength, they are completely sure to stop the opponent before they have time to make any reaction. However, Brando still has some instinctive nervousness. There may be powerful enemies waiting outside the forest, and he must not waste any time here.
But what immediately surprised him was that just as Reddy and the man beside him were about to walk out of the bushes, they slowly stopped.
What did they find?
Brando's eyelids twitched and he almost immediately ordered his mercenaries to press forward, but he stopped his impulsive thoughts abruptly. An attack from this distance would throw the entire plan into disarray because it was so far away and separated by a small patch of bush. He slowly calmed down, and it seemed like the white-haired boy didn't notice the situation here.
He looked back and saw that Lubis's mercenaries were as calm as ever. Except for the heartless Miss Roman who was still looking around, Antitina's face was pale with fright, as if her heartbeat was about to stop. It's like transporting blood again.
He looked back, but was stunned again - he was surprised to find that Reddy not only stopped, but also turned around and was talking to his companions. It's just that they are at least twenty meters away from the edge of the forest, and the forest clearing is at least fifty meters away. They are nearly a hundred meters away. Even with Brando's perception, he can only occasionally capture one or two keywords.
The white-haired young man didn't speak loudly. He looked up in the direction of the camp from time to time, as if he was paying attention to something.
But soon, the conversation between the two became heated. It eventually turned into a dispute. Although most people here couldn't hear clearly what was being said on the other side, it could be seen from the movements of their hands that neither side seemed to be able to convince the other. When he realized that the other party was not coming here, Brando couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, thinking that in the middle of the night, were you two just coming out to quarrel?
So troublesome, can you please move to another place?
It's a pity that Reddy obviously couldn't hear Brando's thoughts. On the contrary, their voices gradually became louder. Next, Brando could barely distinguish the words about 'Eco...', 'Chaplis...' and 'Necklace...', and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. That young man named Eco is still in Chablis? It seemed that Reddy knew this, and there was no reason for Macaro the Maned Wolf not to know, but there were so many problems within this mercenary group, he couldn't help but think about it.
However, he still didn't understand why this white-haired young man would come out in the middle of the night to discuss an issue that had nothing to do with the current 'plot mission'.
He couldn't help but raise his head and looked through the gaps between the leaves above his head. The Blood Star had appeared in the middle of the sky - this star was the most punctual way of timing the night in Eruin, which meant that the time was almost close to midnight. .

Also, I don’t need a thief to comment on whether I have integrity or not. I x, you want me to prepare things for you when you steal them, I owe you.)v
