The Amber Sword - 1062. 1062 Act Two Hundred and Ten of the Flame of Dawn XI
Hanlu Manor was silent in the darkness.
This is a villa with a distinctly glorious and reappearing era architectural style. The architect who built it was Porter. One hundred and fifty years ago, the most famous architect of the empire-the gorgeous curve of the villa was hidden in a sea of trees. In between, the railing of the outer wall extended two or three miles away. It is said that two dukes, an earl, and the famous mistress, Madame Berisha, lived here until her death.
But now it is the private property of the royal family and has no owner.
In the woods near the manor, there is a large bush of low rose bushes. At the moment, several people of Brando are hidden in the bushes. The dense leaves cover their figures perfectly, and their breath is also concealed by spells.
Brando observed the building under the night from a distance.
Just a few hours ago, the witch of unknown origin only told him one thing, that is, Hanlu Manor was a trap set by the Silver Queen. Her target was neither illegal Ina nor Sidney, but him. Myself.
In this manor, it is not the Countess of Varach that the queen has ordered to guard, but the scepter of fire that the empire has long lost.
That was the part of Odyssey’s rod that was divided into three.
It is also the origin of the name of the armour of the Temple of Flame, the scepter of fire.
Brando couldn’t help but glance at his chest.
Because of the flame orb in his body, as long as he approaches this scepter, the soul of Odyspheus will naturally resonate with it and be discovered by the opponent.
If what the woman said was true, then according to the initial plan of action, he would indeed suffer a dark loss tonight. He didn’t expect Her Majesty to retrieve this thing.
He remembered the woman’s words again:
‘The real Countess of Valachit was imprisoned in Sandburg, guarded by the’Fire Scepter’. And near the Hanlu Manor, there are the Knights of the Flame Family in ambush——’
But the woman is definitely not the witch of the Moon of Cup. Brando frowned. The witches’ inheritors have shown talent since they were young. How could there be a new heir who is a few decades old? This is simply not in line with the game. In the settings.
However, since the other party dared to swear to Thirteen Yue, at least she did not lie.
At least Brando until now, has not seen that witch dare to swear this oath casually. Most witches are good at deceiving words. They often pretend to be the inheritance of other moons and then swear by their moons.
But this oath is actually not a fart, because the witches are only responsible for the magic moon they inherited.
However, to swear to the thirteen month, that is another concept, unless there is a witch of the fourteenth round of the moon in this world.
If that’s the case, Brando can only admit that he is unlucky.
At this time, Faina moved her body beside him. She didn’t feel anything wrong with her lying in the grass. Although she was the princess of the Mehhothoven family, she was not the eldest daughter in the greenhouse. She had been to a dangerous place like the Ring of Tradewinds with Veronica, compared with that, the current situation was nothing more than pediatrics.
It’s just that the mosquitoes in the sky made her a little unbearable. She had prepared all kinds of insect repellent creams and other alchemy medicines for skin care when she traveled before, and she obviously didn’t have this condition right now.
“What I want to say,” she finally couldn’t help but whispered: “Why didn’t you directly attack Sandburg? Didn’t you also say that the woman didn’t lie?”
“Naive, although she swears to the thirteen rounds of the moon, but the truth will also lie. Before confirming her intentions, I will never trust the witch’s promise,” Brando regained his consciousness and told the nobleman. Qianjin explained: “What’s more, even if we attack Sandburg and fight with the Bishops of Yanshang, it will attract Her Majesty the Queen’s men. This is the imperial capital. Do you really think that we can still come and go freely?”
“In my opinion, the defense of the imperial capital today is extremely weak.” Faina curled her lips: “There is already a mess outside, and even the patrol cavalry has not been dispatched. There are just a few people.”
Brando frowned.
This is indeed a bit weird. When he was outside before, even he saw that the atmosphere of the imperial capital was very wrong. In this era, the aristocracy is very harsh on the bottom of the bottom. It is not surprising that the people complain. Eruin is always there. There were riots, but they all just started and disappeared.
This is a magical world. People with power often become the upper echelons of society. How easy is it for civilians to resist?
This is why Grudin dared to be so unscrupulous in Firburg, but Uta and other mercenaries dared not speak. Only he is a freak from another world who dares to challenge the outdated rules of this world.
Eluin is still the case for this small country, not to mention Cruz, not to mention this place is still the center of this huge empire, the capital of the empire?
Although there are obvious shadows of cultists behind the assembled civilians, to be honest, the cultists are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the empire.
Regardless of the fact that the unity of all things will infiltrate both the empire and the temple, but if you want to challenge it head-on, one hundred all things will be added together and it may not be an opponent of the empire.
“Could it be that Her Majesty has concentrated all the power of the entire imperial capital just to deal with me?”
He couldn’t help but have an absurd idea in his mind.
But he immediately shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind. This is simply a fantasy. The imperial capital’s defense system has almost four layers. The first is the city guards and patrol cavalry, and the city guards and patrol cavalry in Ruschta. It was almost at the level of the second-line guards of the Empire. The single strength was about midstream to the peak of the black iron, and the size of the two armies remained at around 33,000 all year round. It is also a powerful force to truly mobilize.
Then left the imperial capital to go west, and the White Legion was stationed in the southern part of the Wild Wolf Mountain Range, which was to guard against the Nazers. However, this legion has now been defeated by him in East Metz, and it is replaced by the Blue Legion.
But because of Veronica’s reasons, Her Majesty the Queen will never let this army enter the Banker area at this time.
The next third line of defense is the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard is actually the fifth legion of the empire. Its strength is even greater than that of the four major legions, because the basic-level non-commissioned officers of the Imperial Guard are made up of Fire-Knighted knights, while the soldiers are It is an elite supplemented from various legions.
It’s just that this legion defends the palace all the year round, and it is basically not used to maintain the order of the imperial capital, so it is normal to not see it at this time.
Finally, there are the core powers of the empire, the Knights of the Flame Warlord, the Scepter of Fire, and the Knights of the Silver Pegasus.
Originally, Brando thought that the scepter of fire should not have been mastered by Her Majesty, because this secret power has always been controlled by Vala, but from the mouth of the unknown witch, he knew this powerful The power fell so quickly.
The human heart is really fragile, Brando couldn’t help but shook his head and sighed.
In this way, together with the Knights of the Flame Warlord and the Knights of the Silver Pegasus, which were originally loyal to the queen, the emperor would not say that it was infallible at this time, but it was not something ordinary people could shake.
Cultists have instigated riots many times in history, but what happened?
It’s just a riot.
However, these people dared to make small movements under the silver queen’s eyelids. This was too arrogant. It stands to reason that the patrol cavalry and the city guard should have been dispatched long ago.
This was Brando’s most doubtful place, because the more the queen’s movements were unclear, the more he worried about the conspiracy hidden by the other party.
At this time, Charles looked at the time, and the hour hand of his pocket watch had faintly pointed to the agreed time.
“grown ups?”
Brando nodded. Although the opponent’s intentions are confusing, it has nothing to do with their actions tonight. What he has to do is to do everything.
Assuming that the woman’s intention was to lure him to attack Sandburg, then he would go the other way, using Hanlu Manor as a battlefield, not asking for a battle and doing everything, but at least hitting the opponent in a mess.
Then arrange for others to find opportunities to raid Sandburg.
And suppose that the woman is telling the truth, so better. Since Her Majesty the Queen has chosen Hanlu Manor as the battlefield, she must be confident and will put all her energy into it. He is here to challenge and attract everyone’s attention.
Then the woman has a better chance to rescue Akane from Sandburg.
In any case, this is a foolproof choice, and even in the worst case, it is nothing more than a head-on fight at San Contepe’s Palace. This is what they have prepared for a long time.
Now that you have prepared for the worst, there is nothing to hesitate.
Brando immediately activated the brigade mage authority and summoned the Fireclaw lizardman Lord Ropar.
The space fluctuated, Ropar appeared silently beside him. In fact, he had summoned this old man as early as when he was in the hotel, but this guy was too conspicuous and really not suitable for action outside, so simply After arriving at the Hanlu Manor, he then summoned him with the authority of the Travelling Mage, and the effect was similar anyway.
Ropal is still the same, seeing Brando salute first. The Fireclaw Clan is highly hierarchical, and the upper and lower dignity is extremely strict. Besides, Ropal is the warrior commander in the clan, and his humility and loyalty to the leader has long been engraved. In its bones.
But its vertical pupils still flashed with a bright brilliance. Salamanders are a family of warriors. Fighting is their life. To die on the battlefield is the highest honor as a warrior. It has long been unbearable after being out of the battlefield for such a long time. .
“Hey, old man,” Brando looked at the old man and couldn’t help but smile: “I understand that you can’t wait to taste the blood of the enemy and the sweetness of victory right away, but you should also be aware of your current situation. , I give you a task to protect this lady.”
Ropar is no longer a biological card in the traditional sense at this moment, but a card of the Journeyman, and the profession represented is Brando’s old line-warrior. Of course, its strength has also fallen sharply, and it obviously has no chance to participate in the next war.
Brando knew very well what kind of enemy he would face next, the Knights of the Flame, the legend of the Temple of Flame, there was almost no room to play under the manifestation of the elements.
There was a trace of regret on Ropar’s face, but he still saluteed meticulously. It glanced at Faina, and the latter was obviously also looking at the big man. Didn’t she have never seen Ropar, but she was just a little curious about what the other party was. Where did it come from.
Could it be said that Brando is really a summoner? But he is obviously a swordsman.
The daughter of the Flower Leaf Collar wanted to say that she didn’t need anyone to protect, but she also understood that this time was not her wayward time, she could only silently nod to the Salamander lizard lord, which was regarded as a sign.
Fortunately, Ropar didn’t care about the emotions of his protector. He was a warrior, not a knight to protect the princess.
In fact, Brando didn’t want to summon Ropar so early. After all, the authority of the Travelling Mage was so precious that he wanted to wait to see what kind of profession he needed before calling.
But at the moment obviously there is no chance for him to pick and choose. When facing the behemoth of the empire, even if there is more strength, there will be a glimmer of hope.
In fact, in addition to Ropar, he also summoned a few other cards to add to the various’professional’ decks.
One is the fire giant, who has never been very lucky, and was assigned to Ropal of the same attribute, but probably because this guy is really unlucky. After being modified by the rules of the travel wizard, he turned from a biological card. It became an enchantment card.
Outburst of anger
Heroic II
Fire 10
[Enchantment-Reiki]
Tapping the target creature dealt with, clears all anger counters, and inflicts damage to the target equal to the multiple of its cleared anger counters.
Sustain, Burst of Fury is a permanent enchantment.
‘Patience and silence are for a blow of revenge–‘
The anger counter is a special ability of Ropar’s card. Whenever Ropar is injured, he will accumulate an anger counter, and he can accumulate up to ten counters. That is to say, the card is being liquidated. It can cause up to ten times the damage.
The most important thing is that this card does not necessarily have to be attached to Ropar himself, it can even be attached to the Journeyman himself. With a ten-fold hit of his current strength, he will start the zealous talent again. His teacher, Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles, was unable to kill him head-on.
It’s a pity that I don’t know what effect the so-called tapping has for him. It must be the loss of the ability to fight in a short time. If it also needs to be maintained for two hours like other cards, this side effect is not generally big.
Then there is the Platinum Angel. This card is quite commemorative for Brando. Before he actually took up the position of the official Journeyman, this card was once the most powerful card in his hand. One of them, but it has always been out of reach. When it was finally unlocked, Brando realized his own rule of the Journeyman at that time, and he couldn’t use this card for a while.
Until today, when his library was further improved due to the substantial expansion of the fire element pool, he finally had the opportunity to convert this card into his own deck.
Originally, this card Brando thought it would eventually become the second card in the deck of Medissa or Hippamira, but unexpectedly, it had a shocking reversal in the process of transformation and was directly assigned to Andre. In the deck of Grid and Modeface:
loyalty
Eternal Death III
Dark 30
【Artifact—Armor】
The target of the settlement is not a black angel creature, so it immediately returns to the battlefield and obtains five combat counters, immortal, and anti-all protection abilities. Even if the creature is removed from combat or in a graveyard, this ability can still take effect.
Maintenance, one stage.
‘Loyalty regardless of place and time, survival or death–‘
This card can be said to make Brando extremely painful. This is not to say that it is not strong enough. In fact, it can be regarded as one of the most powerful cards in Brando’s hand, but it is a pity that its original card Platinum Angel The attributes of angels put this card extremely limited-it can only enchant non-black, angel-type creatures. If this restriction were placed in the past, Brando still has the card of Holy Archangel in his hand, but now this card has been transformed into an angel of revenge in the faith deck.
This is a spell card and naturally cannot be used to settle loyalty.
Although he still has resources and can create his own rules, he may not be able to create angel creatures. Secondly, he needs a powerful card to change the situation. , It is impossible to invest limited resources into illusory hope.
What’s more, in terms of his travel mage level, what kind of creatures can be created is still a problem. The series of abilities, that is, a Xiaoqiang who can’t be killed, has no attack power at all.
Therefore, the loyalty card is temporarily a tasteless card for Brando. It is a type that can be seen but cannot be eaten. It is exactly the same as its original position in Brando’s deck.
For a while, Brando couldn’t help being full of resentment for the Platinum Angel card. Once she had this attribute when she was not unlocked, but she didn’t expect to have this attribute after unlocking and transforming.
You are here to play with me.
Because of this card, Brando did not convert the last card in the first place. For one thing, he was afraid of encountering the same situation. It turns out that after the conversion of the biological card, it may not necessarily be the biological card, so He couldn’t guarantee what the Temple of Life and the Trojan Horse of Despair could transform.
It’s better to be safe, look at the situation before calling, at least leave a thought.
Just as Brando and Ropar ordered the task, Charles closed the cover with a click, and then reminded Brando:
“My lord, it’s time.”
“Then let’s set off–” Brando also immediately stopped the conversation and drew the sword of the earth and ordered to others: “The goal is the Fire Scepter and eliciting the Knights of the Flame Warlord, but before meeting with Metis and the others , Try not to make too much noise.”
“Understood.” Charles, Andriguez and Mordefense nodded together.
