Scene 325 Holy White's Battle IX

The guest is naturally an acquaintance of Brando - Gray Fin Naga. The pearl in his hand was also given to him by Naga Queen Hanlu through the hand of Sanir. It is a magic item for communication between Naga. Unfortunately, the production of this thing is limited, otherwise he can have one for each important person around him.

As soon as the black pearl shone, Brando immediately realized that Sanir had arrived. But the first thing that came to mind was the guard posts set up by the white lion guards on the outskirts. The young people from Tonigel naturally recognized the Naga group and led them over directly.

The first thing Brando saw was Sanir, who was tall and taller than ordinary people. Beside him was a female Naga—female Naga was charming, but they were not human after all. It has webbed ears, smooth skin, three thin jaws above the collarbone, and a snake body below the navel just like the male Naga.

Brando was a little surprised at first why Sanir didn't meet Antitina and took the sea to Tonigel. But as soon as he saw this female Naga, he understood it. He happened to know that female Naga, the sea monster Bridget, one of the main priestesses beside Queen Cold Dew.

Among the Naga clan, women preside over the priesthood and war. For example, although Sanir is a warrior, he is only a front-line fighter. Although it was a coincidence that they later led the Grayfin Naga Clan, it was a special case. Generally speaking, Naga is still a matrilineal clan society.

Naga, a noble female like Bridget, mostly appeared in the army as an accompanying priest, and in fact, her role was roughly equivalent to supervising the army.

Brando understood immediately that the other party was coming to form an alliance with him. This also explains why the whereabouts of the Inner Harbor Guards in Ampersell Harbor. It seems that from the very beginning, the Naga clan has made up their minds to participate in this war.

As soon as the other party opened his mouth, his guess was confirmed:

"My lord. We are ordered by the Queen to fight side by side with the allies of mankind in accordance with the eternal and sacred covenant." Brigitte's Cruz language is so good that it is almost impossible to tell that it is from Naga's mouth, and there is no Sani. Er's low, hoarse murmur.

When she mentioned Her Lady Queen, she bowed her head slightly and saluted Brando. This ceremony is not so much for Brando, as it is to show respect to his queen.

There was a glimmer of light in Brando's eyes. How keen he is as a player, he also has a very detailed understanding of the customs of Naga. It seems that Queen Hanlu intends to associate with him on an equal footing, otherwise the other party will not stop there. But he doesn't believe the nonsense about the holy covenant at all. If the holy covenant really works, there will be no jihad between the four holy temples.

Such a formidable method, under the high-sounding excuse, it is obviously a naked political investment. But what does Her Majesty the Queen like about him? On the surface, he is just a little Tonigel lord.

After Bridget finished talking about the scene, she kept silent, obviously not giving him a chance to satisfy his curiosity. Sanir probably won't know either. With his status, he is really not a big shot in Grayfin Naga.

But Brando has never been an inquisitive person. It would be better to have reinforcements, so he just accepts them with peace of mind. Anyway, just treat it as a favor owed to Her Lady Queen, I'm afraid this is exactly the other party's purpose, and with his ability, he is not worried that he will not be able to pay it back.

The arrival of the Grayfin Naga also caused quite a commotion among others. After hearing that they are allies,

The commotion quickly spread among the young people. Overwell couldn't help teasing that Brando was a robber lord, and his subordinates were all bandits and pirates. This was of course a joke, because Sir Wolf only had admiration in his eyes.

He will only support his own private soldiers and make friends with all kinds of powerful people. The difference cannot be measured in miles. Most of the nobles in Eruin, even the useless wood like Grudin, will raise private soldiers. This is the natural instinct of the nobles, which seems to be learned without learning. But to be able to make friends with powerful people from all sides, in addition to one's own strength, it also requires a certain amount of personal charm.

The problem is that Brando has gotten acquainted with too many forces. Druids and Naga, these are forces that ordinary people can't get in touch with at ordinary times. In front of these people, the identity of a human being is useless, and in the eyes of druids there is no difference between nobles and commoners. In Naga's view, nobles are about equal to fat sheep.

But Brando can get their approval. This can only be described as a freak.

The others were okay, but the princess got a little complicated when she saw his gaze. Brando could even clearly feel that there was both recognition and a trace of vigilance in the eyes of the half-elf girl, where did this vigilance come from. He knew it.

With the addition of Gray Fin Naga, the army gathered around Her Royal Highness expanded to 6,000 people, barely having the strength of a guard regiment. Everyone seemed to see a little hope, especially the private soldiers of Earl Odin, who were no longer in a hurry-Brando was really afraid that these guys would collapse and become deserters.

Brando asked Sanier again how they caught up, and then realized that Sanir and his gray-finned Naga Guards had chased him and his party along the Ampersel Bay and around the sea. According to Sanir's description. After they defeated the Harbor Guards, they found that Brando had evacuated Ampersel. At that time, the Black Blade Legion had already completed its assembly in the south of Ampersel, and Sanir made a decisive decision. Ordered all Naga to evacuate along the river in the city, entered the bay off the coast of Ampersel, and then landed from Dungang Bay before intercepting Brando and his party.

The terrain of Ampersel is very special, where the north and south land meet and extrude to form a crescent-shaped bay, with the Ampersel Strait in the center. You can see this unique landscape when you go out to sea by boat. The line south of Ampersel Port is almost full of sharp sea cliffs.

There are two landing points to the south, among which Denggang Bay is actually a shoal, and only Naga can land from there. Not to mention that there is a reef turbulence outside, Brando knows it very well, so he also gave up the idea of ​​​​going out to sea from there. Further south is Shengbai Bay, which is far away from Ampersel Harbor and is the only anchorage in this area.

Brando estimated the time, and it seemed impossible to get to Holy White Bay before being caught up by the Black Blade Legion, but the addition of Gray Fin Naga gave him another plan.

Brando immediately rolled up the parchment map, and the surrounding non-commissioned officers of the Royal Knights Academy knew that their "commander" was about to make a plan. So they all gathered around. Overwell and Earl Odin also stood beside Brando.

"I figured out a way." Sir Wolf asked.

"Well," Brando nodded: "I have a concept, but it still needs to be verified."

"Could it be that your lord has some other clever tricks to find a way to get rid of those annoying guys in the sky?" Enroc asked with a smile.

"Brando, can you wait until night to get rid of the flying dragon cavalry in the sky." Freya also asked.

"Impossible," replied Lord Odin. He once served in the Black Blade Legion and the Southern Legion, and he is the most familiar general of the dragon cavalry: "The scientific name of the dragon cavalry is Eruin Yalong, and they mainly live in the northern plateau. They are actually a kind of dragon cavalry. Nocturnal creatures, trained dragon cavalry have no problem tracking them at night."

"It's disgusting, it's still an all-weather army." Brando cursed secretly in his heart, but in fact he also knew this; speaking of it, he also served as a dragon cavalry in the game, and he was quite good at creatures like Eruin Yalong. learn. So from the very beginning, I didn't have this kind of delusion, "Well, unless there is a knife in the sky, don't try to get rid of the other party. After all, people use to fly, we use to go."

He spoke playfully, and everyone couldn't help smiling.

"We're dead too, Brando." Only Freya glared at him angrily.

"So we have to face the Black Blade Legion. At this speed, we will be caught up as early as tomorrow afternoon." Loka, the leader of the three masters, reacted very quickly, and he said calmly: "No, it's not even necessary. At that time, even earlier, the light cavalry of the Black Blade Legion will bite."

"Light cavalry are not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, maybe we can bite them back." Bryson replied after pondering for a moment.

"That way we'd lose time," Nimesis said quietly, and she glanced at Brando. She has always been the commander of this army. But now there seems to be no dissatisfaction with Brando on the calm face.

Brando also found a quality in this female knight that he admired very much. That is the obedience of a soldier. She is calm, steady, and absolutely obedient to orders, which even he himself cannot do. This is the real good soldier.

But the other party turned out to be a woman, and she looked exactly like the senior sister, which made him a little unacceptable.

Overwell said nothing, as if he was waiting for the young men to speak. Brando is also in the same mind, and it would be good to take this opportunity to see the true strength of the three masters of Aruin.

After thinking about it for a moment, Loka really replied: "The advantage of time will be lost sooner or later. At least before that, we can decide where to fight the Black Blade Legion. How to fight."

exactly.

Turn weather into location. Brando praised secretly in his heart, the head of the three masters of Eruin is worthy of his great reputation in the past, and his thoughts coincided with him. However, he had planned it long ago, but the other party made a judgment in a split second, so the gap between them was huge.

Fortunately, he never thought of himself as a genius commander. The reason why he was here was only because he had insight far beyond that of everyone in this period of history. This is enough.

"What is the goal of the battle?"

"Obviously, stick to it," Enroc replied.

"So where are we going to choose the battlefield?" Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the spread map, as did Brando. They actually went eastward into the Marchenko Mountains in the direction of leaving the port of Ampersel before, and now they are already a little south of Randing's foothill manor.

Rangding's foothill manor is a famous landmark near Amperesel. It is said to be a manor, but it is actually a mountain hotel, built like a fortress. This manor is located in the forest surrounded by mountains about a dozen miles east of the port of Amperesel, on the mountain road that Amperesel must pass to the province of Alec.

Because that is the only avenue in the vicinity, they deviate from this avenue, in fact, the southeast of Ampersel is already in the mountains. And there is another avenue to the south of Ampersel, which leads to Vlada-Paceland, and they are between these two avenues.

This area is also a level 25-30 adventure area that Brando is familiar with. Further south, there is an acropolis of Amperesel, and there is a sawmill nearby, which is the main daily supply of charcoal for Amperesel. Brando has done a lot of tasks there before.

There is also a small iron mine nearby. Because of the charcoal, a large number of manors operating blacksmith workshops sprang up around the harvest year (1st 360). With the Acropolis as the center, it enters the mountains to the east, and the gentle coastal area to the west, which is densely populated.

Brando's eyes drew a premeditated line in this area.

Young people are arguing.

Karglis believes that they should take advantage of their small number of troops but many elites to block the Black Blade Legion in the Fama Valley (1). This valley goes deep into the northern branch of Anleke, and the terrain is difficult, which is one of the best terrains for ambushes.

But Enroc believed that they should have entered the Fama Mountains, and along the Fama Mountains into the northern main branch of the Anlek Mountains, also relying on the advantage of the small number of elites to fight and retreat, and go around in circles with the northern coalition forces in the deep mountains. This is a fantastic idea, and Brando was taken aback when he heard it, wondering if this is not the prototype of guerrilla warfare, this can be an alternative plan.

But he just froze for a moment. The dispute over there has become heated. Enroc laughed at Caglis's rigid thinking and military dogmatism, Caglis did not show any weakness, and retorted that the other party was a bandit and a bandit with a mind of a king of the mountain.

The two sides could not reach a conclusion, Brayson supported Kaglis' view, and Miuco believed that Enroc said it better. Only Freya, Roca and Nimesis' eyes fell on Brando.

Brando smiled slightly and pointed at the map: "We are here to hold a grand banquet for the Black Blade Legion."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. In fact, the place Brando pointed to was not far from here. He drew a line that eventually led to a place called the Heights of Mar.

What is this place?

Everyone can see that the place drawn on the map is obviously not the most suitable place for blocking. The Maer Heights is a platform terrain. Although it is also the intersection of three mountains, the open area is a flat alluvial plain, which is very conducive to the deployment of the army. Playing here, I am afraid there is a problem. If it wasn't for Brando to lead them to kill a bloody road. Everyone present, including Kaglis, will wonder if he is a traitor of the Northern Alliance Army...

"Mr. Brando...?"

"Believe me, this is the best choice," Brando smiled: "I won't joke about my own life, right?"

"Why?" Freya couldn't help asking.

The reason is very simple, Brando smirked in his heart, this place called Mar Heights was a nightmare in the minds of countless players back then. There is a dungeon called 'Afega Temple Ruins' in Mar Heights. Afega is a famous demon god in Warnd. It is said that the main body is a demon. Of course, this temple has little to do with him, but it is covered by A group of air elemental creatures from the Mountain of the Storm's Rest has been taken over. The temple is buried deep in the ground, and it should not have been excavated before this era.

This temple was revealed in a later edition. There is also a small door opening task. Brando can fully imagine how much trouble the Black Blade Legion will be in if he gets this thing out. Back then, the player was beaten to the point of crying and howling, and it wasn't until almost five years later that someone settled the dungeon.

Not to mention that there is still a colony of monster red-backed wild boars in front of Mar Heights. If they don't know the correct marching route, these herd creatures of more than 20 levels are enough for them to drink a pot.

Brando felt like laughing out loud when he thought about it. What's more, his choice of the battlefield on the plain was not only to make the opponent relax his vigilance, but also had a deeper consideration. However, there are some things that cannot be said yet. The cadets of the Royal Knight Academy are certainly credible, but it is difficult to say the private soldiers of the nobles under Earl Odin.

He waved his hand to signal others to stop the discussion. Brando's prestige had been initially established. Although the young people were more or less confused, they still chose to trust the commander who led them all the way out.

"This place is actually an inverted triangle. If you stick to two of the hills, it's not impossible to defend. I think the lord may have other considerations, but is this place too close to the acropolis of Amperesel?" Luoka also said He frowned and asked.

"No, on the contrary, we will kill all the way along this line." Brando said, pointing to the manor area.

"Ah, what? Isn't it?" Enroc almost jumped up: "My lord, it doesn't seem necessary, if you want to show your military power to shock those Yankees... well, I admit that we are already very powerful gone."

"No, it's necessary." Brando smiled at him. Then he turned his head and said to Sanier: "Sanir, have you and your men sensed your Sea Demon Whale?"

Sanir was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"Then please take them there immediately, and make sure Miss Antitina appears in front of me before tonight."

"no problem."

Brando rolled up the parchment and said to the others: "You guys also prepare and come up with a battle plan. And don't forget, you have to beat the vanguard cavalry of the Black Blade Legion to let them know that we are here .”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they had no choice but to stand up and salute.
