The Amber Sword - 597. Chapter 597 Act Three Hundred and Twenty-Nine The Battle of Saint White XIII

It was almost late at night when I arrived at Mar Heights, and the silver moon hung high in the air, sprinkling a gauze-like moonlight across the mountains and plains. The forest is silent, covering the mountains and rivers on both sides, but at the intersection of the foothills, where the river flows through, it widens and forms a river.

The non-commissioned officers of the Royal Knights Academy planned to use the night to investigate the terrain, but Brando stopped them. Brando let everyone rest on the spot, and then got up again in the early morning to set up defenses. The private soldiers of the nobles are okay. They have been miserable all night. Brando’s orders made them full of praise; but the young non-commissioned officers will inevitably have a lot of criticism-how to arrange defenses without investigating the terrain? Even the simplest line of defense has to be adapted to local conditions. The infantry code is clearly written. What does the commander think? However, the military order is like a mountain, and everyone is destined to sleep with a lot of doubts.

The mountains and forests at night when the winter snow melts are extremely cold. Due to lack of preparation, the non-commissioned officers often only have a thin blanket on their bodies, which can be imagined at such a temperature. Brando saw many young people turning blue from the cold, but Odin’s aristocratic army did not have tents. There was no other way. He could only look around to see if there was anything else that could help. The place.

The private soldiers of the nobles of Count Oudin, Naga, the non-commissioned students of the Royal Knights Academy and the dragon cavalry of the Southern Legion were not mixed. The military discipline of the aristocratic private soldiers is not as good as expected. Considering that there are many girls in the non-commissioned officers, Earl Oeting personally restrains his subordinates because he is afraid of something wrong; the flying dragoons must take care of their mounts, so naturally, strangers should not enter; The grayfin naga from the shining sea can get used to the cold climate, but the dry land makes them feel uncomfortable. They all rest under the river bed, their bodies curled up.

For Brando, after the physical fitness reaches the golden realm, sleep is no longer so necessary. The metabolic system is self-improving, and it is normal not to sleep for several days or nights. He walked slowly along the edge of the black pine forest. The sky was full of stars. In another world, it was difficult to see such a beautiful scenery. Brando couldn’t help but stop and watch.

However, there were gusts of cold wind blowing from the mountain pass to the south, and the storms off Ampersel were gathering again, which inevitably cast a haze on the next battle. Brando suddenly heard the sound of rustling shrubs being crushed from behind his head. He drew his long sword and turned his head. A bright attire came into his eyes, and the half-elf princess of Eruin replaced it. He had a set of silver armor and an improved dress underneath, standing in the woods looking noble and moving.

“Mr. Brando.”

“His Royal Highness.” Brando was slightly startled. He didn’t expect that the princess hadn’t fallen asleep yet, and she ran to look for him. He would not think that this time, the princess would not come for a walk in the woods at this time. He smiled awkwardly: “Why is your Royal Highness here?”

Princess Griffin looked a little lonely. She also knew that she shouldn’t have come here, but after leaving Amperexel, she tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep that night. Brando did such a rude thing to her that day, she was so disgusted at the time, she wished to kill each other with a single sword.

But for the sake of Eruin, she finally forced herself to calm down and compromise. She told herself that this kingdom had a more ugly face, and she could suppress her emotions even in the face of Viscount Bergening’s betrayal. But the scene at that time was like a nightmare, which left a shadow on her soul, and she couldn’t forget it.

It would be nice if this person behaved more unbearably, but it happened to be that good again.

Brando’s figure was reflected in Princess Griffin’s silver eyes, and her heart was full of complicated feelings. She has never seen love and hatred for no reason since she was a child, and everything that night made her believe that there would never be unconditional helping hands in this world, but how did he pretend to be asking for nothing? Obviously, the true face has been exposed, isn’t it?

Moreover, the identity of Brandaros’ descendants made her feel deeply worried. If the other party’s plan is bigger, what should she do? But this is also her last chance. She hopes to get an answer in person, even if she needs to give up more, as long as she can save Eruin and rescue Haruze, she will stick to it.

Brando felt that Princess Griffin looked at herself firmly, and couldn’t help blushing a little. He didn’t know how complicated the thoughts of Her Royal Highness were, but he probably guessed the reason. He also had a blank mind that night, and he couldn’t help but…

It’s really a misfortune, and it’s really embarrassing to think of it.

Don’t say that the father-in-law killed him with a sword, but if Princess Griffin only needs to say a word, he is probably ashamed to be ashamed and self-sufficient; but modern people’s mood is much tougher after all. After a day, Brando will be able to do it. Pretend that it has never happened.

It’s just that it’s still a bit embarrassing to be stared at by the half-elf girl with such piercing eyes. He couldn’t help coughing and turned his head.

This subtle movement aroused the surprise of Princess Griffin. She was born in the royal family and was born with extraordinary intelligence. She had seen too much intrigue and deceitful struggles, and she inherited the elf’s keenness for changes in people’s hearts. Immediately felt the meaning expressed in Brando’s action.

“It turns out that Mr. Brando would feel embarrassed?” Princess Griffin’s voice was very soft, but it was as clear as a nightingale in the woods softly singing.

“I’m sorry, that…” Brando was almost sweating, thinking that your Royal Highness, it’s shame to play, although I know that I did something wrong that day, but you are not too much. His soul in this life is only nineteen years old, and in his previous life he was an otaku who was not good at expressing his feelings. Although some of his original mentality has gradually been corrected after a long period of time, he can’t help but feel a little at a loss.

This guy actually blushed? Princess Griffin couldn’t believe her eyes, and she suddenly became curious: “Since Mr. Brando also knows that it is…a rude thing, why do you still do it?”

She couldn’t help but gritted her teeth a bit: “It’s…too much! In vain, I thought Mr. Brando was still a real knight.”

Brando was speechless. How could he answer? Can’t you say that the real knight is to pursue romance? so funny. Do you want to say that I will be responsible for you? It doesn’t seem to be very good either-let’s not say that the father-in-law doesn’t want him to be responsible, what about Xiao Luoman? In the last life, it was the elder sister who influenced him the most, but the past cannot be traced back, and the coming time cannot be waited. Brando knows his feelings very well.

Princess Griffin stared at him for a long while.

Brando was frustrated by the sight of him.

In the end, the half-elf girl let out a sigh of relief: “That’s it, I understand.”

“En? What do you understand?” Brando was startled and looked back at the princess in puzzlement. Looking closely at the future Eruin’s noble and elegant Princess Regent, today she is still just sixteen years old. She inherits the unique slenderness of the elves and looks even weaker.

Princess Griffin seemed to have untied her heart knot. She raised her head, her silver hair gleaming in the moonlight; she smiled softly, lifted her skirt and walked out of the woods, quietly came to Brando’s side, and looked at it. The star on the sky.

“Mr. Brando is also watching the stars.”

“Almost.” Brando replied absently, not understanding what the princess meant.

“The astrologers say that people after death will turn into stars, so Xianjun and Father King are also looking at us in the sky.”

This story sounds very romantic, but Brando knows that those are just burning fireballs. Of course, he wouldn’t say it so harshly, besides, there are serious astrologers in this world.

“I guess so.”

“Mr. Brando doesn’t believe in fate?”

“No, I believe it.”

“En?” Her Royal Highness was startled slightly and couldn’t help turning her head. She is not too tall, only Brando’s broad shoulders can be seen.

“I believe in the fate created by people in the Cruz people’s epic. Fate is resistance.” Brando quietly relayed this sentence that the senior sister told him back then.

“Destiny…is resistance…” Princess Griffin savored these words carefully.

Brando saw the figure of Nimesis from a distance, and she was covering her blankets with several female officials and students. Brando was a little surprised by this detail. He didn’t expect the cold-faced female knight to have such a gentle side.

Brando still felt a little inexplicable when sending away Eruin’s Princess. The half-elf princess didn’t say anything in the end, so she sat with him outside the forest and looked at the stars for a long time. What kind of attitude is this, he still hasn’t figured it out yet.

But all in all, it seems that Her Royal Highness is not going to be held accountable for that matter, which is a good thing. Brando also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would lose his face.

凌晨三点时分，布兰多总算见到了那个名叫沃奇克的德鲁伊大师，这人长得和布兰多记忆中一样抽象。对方给人的第一印象就像是一只乌鸦人，脸又尖又长，上面还涂满了一道道黑色的花纹。他披着一身蓑衣，看起来就像是乌鸦的羽毛，手臂与手指干枯细长，形同爪子。

这人要放在布兰多熟悉的影视作品之中，就是典型的反面角色，不过正好相反，在历史上这是个性格冷淡、但严守中立的NPC形象。当然，德鲁伊大多也就是这个德行。

沃奇克是从安培瑟尔赶回来的，一脸疲惫之色，不过据对方所说再坚持一两场低烈度的战斗应该还是没问题的。布兰多赶紧让他先去休息，加上这位德鲁伊大师，他很快发现自己手下的法师团已经达到了空前豪华的阵容。

至少四位黄金阶的术者，大德鲁伊沃奇克，法则巫师大导师夏尔，大海妖布莉奇特以及暗夜领主安德丽格。然后是纳加的二十人祭祀团，欧汀伯爵手下也有几个流浪巫师，再加上芙罗、蒂亚两姐妹，除了缺乏一个要素阶的支柱之外——这个超过三十人、最低位阶皆在白银以上的法师团基本可以碾压埃鲁因的一切势力了。

可惜人数在布兰多看来还是太少了一些，这三十来个施法者分散到几千人的军队中，也只不过刚好够用而已。不像未来大魔潮时代的战争，一个军团都能调集起超过百人的法师团，除了分散在军中负责防守之外，还能集合起数十人的专属法师团集中使用，起到远程火力支援的作用。

当然，这个梦想在现在也只不过能想想罢了。没有白银阶的巫师在大规模的战场上存活率极低，但白银阶以上的巫师又少得可怜，这就是沃恩德的现状。

四点半。

王立骑士团的士官生们结束了休整，然后纳加与贵族私兵也依次被叫醒，布兰多拿出一夜整理的地图，让他们按照要求去布置防线。这一手又让所有人都吃了一惊，他们不知道布兰多早已熟悉这一带的山川地理，还以为指挥官大人为了让他们休息好，亲自带人乘夜去勘察了地形呢。

年轻的士官生们虽然嘴上没说，但内心感激不已。只有格里菲因公主隐隐猜到了什么，但她也只将这种猜测埋在心中。

The topography of the Mar Highlands was a surprise to the defenders. The tributaries of the three mountains converge here to form a huge valley. The mist in the valley covers the valleys on both sides, and the river flows continuously from the middle river, making a huge sound of water.

On the north side of the valley lies a towering ridge, which is nearly lead-grey at the far end of the field of view, and it is hazy in the night before the early morning. This is the end of the foothills of the Fama Mountains extending southward. The locals call this mountain Unk Mountain, which means’wall’ in the ancient language of mountain people.

The two streams converge at the foot of the Unk Mountain and converge into a shallow mountain stream. The stream washes down along the beach, forming an open area over the years. The land of Sichuan descends like a huge slope, and on both sides are the forest-covered Mt. Macenko and Mt. Levico.

However, both Machenko and Levico are flat, far below the height of Unk Mountain. This means that if you set up a position on the top of Unk Mountain, the archers will be able to attack the two mountains in the south from a high position.

If the infantry of the Northern Allied Forces attacked them through the valley, the attack to occupy the two hills to the south in advance would be a nightmare. But if you don’t capture the southern hills, the upward attack from the bottom up is more than just a nightmare.

This is simply a natural blocking position.

Unless the Black Blade Legion finds a way to cross the Fama Mountains and attack from behind Unk Mountain. But it will take a long time, at least within half a month, they don’t have to worry about enemies from behind.

So the rest is very simple. Although there are still a few people who think it might be better to go deep into the Anlek Mountains, it is only a possibility after all, and most people start to lay out their defenses with great enthusiasm. The non-commissioned officers quickly put forward a very classic and practical plan.

This plan was immediately delivered to Brando, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Overwell. The plan is simple. As expected, the main position is located on the north side of the confluence of streams, under the foothills of the Unk Mountain-followed by the bow and arrow positions, and the main position-but the defensive center of gravity has moved forward. Two hills at the western foot of Keshan Mountain are included.

Brando saw the core of this plan at a glance. Two battlefields were set up on the two hills to the south. The young non-commissioned officers planned to use the terrain advantage to consume the active force of the southern coalition on these two fronts.

This tactical intention is very typical, almost like a textbook layout. But in Brando’s view, it’s not very good, a little too conservative. He glanced at the others, and the princess did not make a statement, and Overwell shook his head.

A lone wolf is a lone wolf.

Brando shook his head: “It’s generally feasible, but the details have to be corrected.”

“Ah, how to fix it?” Kaglisi, who was confident of taking the plan, couldn’t help but stayed, this plan was actually made by him, and it was also unanimously approved by the non-commissioned officers. I thought it would definitely pass, but now it seems a bit taken for granted.

“That’s it.” Brando replied after making two gestures on the temporary map.

“what?”

Kaglisi almost didn’t shake his hand and smeared the plan in his hand on the face of his lord. This is also called a plan? Didn’t this give up the entire frontal position, Lord Lord, should we surrender directly?

He looked at Brando pitifully, as if he wanted to make sure that his lord had not slept all night and talked nonsense for a while in a trance. Unexpectedly, Brando immediately gave him a fierce look, and scolded: “What are you doing in a daze?”

So the young man from the Tonigel nobleman could only admit that he was unlucky and walked out dejectedly.

“This seems to be a bit…” Overwell couldn’t help but shook his head. Brando’s plan was too bold, and it was a bit beyond his expectations.

No, it’s more than just bold. If he had not known this young man before, I am afraid he would have begun to wonder if this guy was a spy. This plan simply despised the IQ of the Northern Allied Forces.

“The soldiers are in danger, you and Macaro are very similar in temperament, but it’s a pity…” The lone wolf of the kingdom couldn’t help sighing. In the old days, the kingdom had one lion, one wolf, and one fox, but now it can only rely on these young people.

He can only hope that his choice is right.

Only Brando smiled at this, confident.

The sky was shining, and the vague army began to gather in the forest. Nostar and his dragon cavalry were lifted off one by one in the early morning breeze, and then under the cooperation of the wind spirit spider controlled by Brando, they began to expel the scout cavalry roaming in the sky of the Northern Allied Forces.

This was the clearance before the war.

By this time, both sides could no longer conceal their tactical intentions. The commanders of the Northern Allied Forces quickly understood that Brando was preparing to fight them to the death.

“Know that you can’t run away?”

Williams stretched out his hand to catch the parchment tube dropped by the flying dragoons passing by, swept away his expression indifferently, and showed a disdainful smile on his face.

He raised his head-Margall was in front of him.

Eight twelve minutes.

Brando closed his pocket watch on the brass cover and looked far across the valley. His vision is extremely far, and his strong perception ability allows him to see scenery miles away without fake foreign objects. At the other end of the valley, the first Northern Allied Force has appeared, but it is not clear that it is temporarily. Column.

“It should be Viscount Finn, there are a lot of people, I’m afraid there will be thousands of people.” Earl Oeting put down the monoculars and muttered to himself: “They stopped, they should be waiting for support.”

Brando nodded. Earl Odin is worthy of being a veteran aristocrat who has served in both the Black Blade Legion and the Southern Legion. This judgment is still very accurate. His guess is almost the Finn column.

Enrok, who was on the side, was a little disapproved. The young man shrugged and said, “No matter how many people there are, it’s meaningless. This valley allows them to launch a frontal attack with 1,500 people. It’s a great deal for the Yankees. ”

“But they can capture the two hills to the south of Macenko Mountain and Levico Mountain first, right.” Freya stood beside Brando in a uniform, pressing the long sword in her hand, frowning and replied.

“Then there will be a good show.” Brando smiled.
