Act 9 Day 1

Act Nine Day One

The refugees accompanying Brando fled into Silver Sparrow Mountain before sunrise. Sure enough, just as Brando judged, after they defeated the undead scout cavalry, the undead army did not catch up. Because the combat effectiveness of low-level undead and vampires will drop significantly throughout the day, Brando guessed that they would not let the sea of ​​skeletons advance under the sun until they completely wiped out the White Mane Swordsmen.

However, after the undead occupy the several cemeteries in Littenburg, the strength of the army will surely increase. It is said that when Tagus arrived in Dragus in the north of this place, his strength had already expanded by as much as 100,000. It was Goran Elson Five times the total strength of the region.

After absorbing and expanding the number of refugees, the number has grown to four to five hundred people. The long line is mixed with horse-drawn carts and heavy mules, stretching for half a mile in the Yinque Mountain. Some people were looking for relatives who had been lost at night before and after the line, and the refugee group seemed a little angry for a while.

The merchant lady sneaked down from the carriage in broad daylight, and now she is holding her precious bag and sitting on a flatbed carriage full of goods, telling stories to a few bratty little ghosts. The guys all stared wide-eyed in a daze.

She was talking about how calm and brave Brando was, when she suddenly saw a man and a woman riding up from behind on a horse in the distance, her little face changed in fright, and she lowered her head subconsciously.

Brando slept for about three hours. This was the only sleep he had in the past few days, but he didn't sleep well because he was thinking about the Madara army. After the girl was Roman, she couldn't help laughing and shook her head:

"How did you escape?"

"I'm bored." The merchant lady replied with a low eyebrow.

"It's dangerous outside, Roman." Freya frowned and stared at her best friend, and said worriedly, "What's going to happen to you, how can I explain to Aunt Jenny?"

"It's nothing dangerous, I'm telling them a story." When Roman mentioned this, he immediately beamed.

The little ghosts hurriedly nodded together.

"Now we're not discussing what you're doing," Freya sighed, "Do you know how nervous you are right now?"

Brando looked at Roman with some amusement: "What story are you telling?"

"It's about Brando."

Brando waved to her,

motioned for her to come over. The business lady was slightly taken aback, she didn't doubt him, but when she ran to the edge of the carriage, she was grabbed by the young man, pinched her face, rubbed her face vigorously, and taught: "Listen to Freya and pay attention to your own safety, understand? "

Roman was startled and made a whining sound, while pushing Brando away in a hurry, raising a pair of small eyebrows: "I... woo... Got it, quick... let go!"

Then she quickly retreated to the other corner of the carriage, stared at Brando vigilantly, and patted her chest with a look of lingering fear.

Brando smiled secretly, feeling really good. But when he turned around, he saw Freya looking at this side with envy, but the girl with ponytail blushed immediately, turned her head away and said loudly: "Words, shameless, don't care about the two of you..."

She left this sentence and ran away alone, leaving Brando alone in a daze, wondering how she had offended the young lady again. While he was in a daze there, Mano and Leto came to him.

They were looking for him in order to draw people from the refugees to form a self-defense group. In fact, ever since the refugee team entered Yinque Mountain, the surrounding terrain has become complicated. There are large expanses of fir trees scattered in the hills, and the vision has become extremely poor from the very beginning. Not only do they have to guard against the possible Madara The spies of the undead, but also beware of bears and maned wolves in the forest. What's more, the team of refugees is still increasing. Even if Brando throws all the more than 30 riders in, it is estimated that there will be no splash.

What's more, he also released the riders to investigate the fan-shaped area ahead, and the manpower at hand was even tighter.

Fortunately, Eruin still has a lot of men who have not only participated in complete militia training, but also dare to stand up and fight. Brando has more than 30 black dark swords that he just collected from some skeleton riders, and they are distributed one by one. It is no problem to arm forty or fifty people.

Leto and Mano put these people on the sides and rear, letting them patrol back and forth to maintain order and security in the refugee ranks. But this is a simple thing to say, but it is very troublesome to do. They have been busy for half a morning just for this matter, and now Leto is just here to report the results.

But Mano had another purpose. Together with Charles, he sorted out the armor fragments collected from the undead scout cavalry last night and handed them to Brando for review.

Most are cracked metal rings, with only a few pieces of metal. Brando picked up each of them and looked at the sun, then touched the inside of the metal ring with his fingertips. He quickly found the familiar emblem, an eye.

Brando put the armor fragments back into Mano's hand, and replied: "It seems that the army of dead maggots is following us, just like in history."

He suddenly saw Mano looking at him suspiciously, and coughed quickly: "Dead Magus, he is a half-zombie. Among Madara's military generals, he is particularly good at concentrating numerical advantages, but he likes to fight at night." March, when the time comes, you will be able to see the zombie army all over the mountains and plains."

Brando's words made Leto and Mano look at each other. They didn't know why Brando knew Madara so well, but they didn't look like they were talking big. What's more, there is no need for this young man to speak big words. Since the battle last night, he has already won the hearts of these old mercenaries.

But Brando stopped and looked up at the sky. There are a few dark spots in the far southeast sky, and I don't know if they are hawks in the mountains or Madara's skeleton vultures. But he soon stopped thinking about this problem. As Madara's standard reconnaissance unit, things like skeleton vultures are also hard to guard against. They have excellent eyesight, and necromancers can use them to understand every move on the battlefield.

In the battles of the last years of the First Age, between the Year of the Woods 421 and the Year of the Stars 426, especially the Battle of the Slanting Forest at Sifah, the bones of Madara The vultures were really all over the sky, and it was too late for the players to dispatch flying dragon cavalry to disperse them. That was the peak period of Madara, and he almost brought the sea of ​​soldiers tactics to the limit.

However, they have come up with a solution in the perennial battles. For example, in this densely forested and extremely high-covered mountain area, the skeleton vultures are severely weakened. Their monotonous chromaticity makes it difficult to distinguish the combat environment under complex terrain. . Not to mention the four or five hundred people of Brando, even one or two thousand people getting into the deer hunting hills are the same as stones thrown into the sea, there is no shadow.

That's why Brando resisted all opinions and chose to enter Yinque Mountain instead of entering the Jianshi River Valley, which is easier to walk with the brigade of refugees. He didn't say it, because he was afraid that these experienced mercenaries would have a different heart. Although he would rather believe that these people were still passionate, he must be on guard against others.

Brando thought for a while and continued: "Magus likes to march at night, but he will not be idle throughout the day. He will use elite ghoul and wight squadrons to drive refugees, but now he The first thing to do should be to defeat the Whitemane Swordsmen. I just don't know where Luc Besson should be now."

In fact, Brando is most afraid of being discovered by the bone dragon. He knows that Tagus should have three bone dragons in his hands. It would be a disaster if he was found by the bone dragon in an open area such as a river valley. But Targus should be recuperating in Riddenburg for a while. After occupying the cemetery there, he should hurry up and expand his strength. Anyway, the biggest nail has been pulled out from Ridenburg to the Dragos area through the sharp stone River valley, no more obstacles in between.

Brando said, couldn't help looking in the direction of the river valley. And at this time, in the eyes of Leto and Mano, he had already become a young general or a rising star, and they couldn't help but look at him a little differently.

Although they are mercenaries, they may not have the idea of ​​being noble retainers in their hearts. It's just that God knows that Brando is just a fake nobleman. Although the young man deliberately corrected Shire's name once, he was horrified when he heard the latter call him master in a serious manner. The feeling is that it is better to default to the current name.

He thought about this problem for a while, and he could only blame it on the fact that the factory settings were not set properly.

After finishing the work in the morning, there was no incident throughout the morning, but the refugee team was getting bigger and bigger. In addition to a refugee team catching up from behind, there are also some refugees who escaped from the direction of the river valley. They brought news from that direction. Brando was not wrong. Magus's ghouls and ghosts The squadron and the three skeleton armies of Kabais are fighting fiercely with the White Mane Legion over there, and it is expected that the winner will be decided in the evening.

The refugee team once expanded to about 1,000 people, and Brando asked them to stop and make a meal in time. Fortunately, because Madara first attacked the northwest and southwest urban areas when he entered the city yesterday, these people who escaped from the north of the city Most people have enough time to bring some necessities, and don't need Brando to worry about food for the time being.

However, the young man was not unprepared. In his eyes, the deer hunting forest was a natural food reserve base. There are many kinds of animals in the forest. In addition to the aggressive bears and maned wolves, there are also wild boars, deer, badgers and hares. There are a lot of pine nuts to collect, and there are mushrooms and wild vegetables in the forest. As long as you have the heart, it is not a good thing to feed one or two thousand people here, but there is still no problem in ensuring food and clothing.

And around three o'clock in the afternoon, the riders released in front finally brought back the first news for Brando. The news is not about Madara

Rather, someone wants to see him.
