The Amber Sword - 869. Chapter 869 Opening of the Twenty-seventh Act II

The gently undulating hills are like folds of carpet, the last touch of color in the late summer after the autumn has not faded, the vegetation is full of deep green, the drizzle is falling, and the cold air seems to make the entire battlefield shrouded in a layer of mist. Down. On the hills by the river valley, many figures gradually appeared on the edge of the linden forest. These were soldiers, wearing heavy armor and pointed helmets. On the right shoulder was the head of a white lion, the lion hanging down. The eyelids seem to be thinking all the time, outlining the calm momentum of this army. Most of the non-commissioned officers who walked out of the forest had an embossment with a burning demon horn on their shoulder armor, which meant that they were veterans who had participated in the Ampersel War and survived the bloody battle of the demon. Under the edge of the helmet of a young man in the front, a pair of eyes were full of fortitude. His name was Mars. He not only participated in the battle of Ampersel, but also experienced the wolf disaster of the ring of trade winds, the earliest batch with him. A total of sixty young people from all over Tonigel, one-half of their lives were killed on the battlefield in Ampersel, but he survived and took the helmet with the white long mane from the lord’s hand. , Became a squadron knight of the White Lion Guard.

He turned his head and looked at the other non-commissioned officer behind him. The other party was also wearing a helmet with a metal mask. He could only see a pair of light brown eyes that glowed with wisdom. He knew that person was called Ulliel, although he had never participated. Ampersel fought, but he was the first veteran to follow the lord, and now like him, he is already a key non-commissioned officer of the White Lion Guard. There are many such people in the firs. Brando currently has two systems. One is the original red bronze dragon mercenary group. The leader of this mercenary group is the red bronze dragon Leto. The veterans of the war are now in Tonigel already aloof. Most of his men are the first group of people who followed Brando. They have been honored by the master. Now this system has faintly adopted the style of the veteran. However, Brando has always deliberately downplayed the military status of non-professional soldiers in Tonigel. The Red Bronze Dragon Mercenary Corps is stationed in Mintai, and now it is mainly responsible for the local security work of the firs, and it is in the same position as the cavemen in charge of local defense. Status, but Reto himself has no ambitions, so he is quite comfortable with this arrangement.

Of course, Brando’s arrangement was never out of authority considerations, but merely to emphasize the role of professional soldiers in the future for Tonigel, and even for the kingdom; no one knew better than him that the private armies of the nobles had There are so many drawbacks, what happened to Vieiro’s army today is a bloody lesson for the past. Those who originally didn’t understand Brando’s arrangements were shocked and admired, but they didn’t understand what Brando saw. It was much more than that. He knew better than anyone what Eruin would need at this moment.

Brando’s other system is the newly formed White Lion Legion and Wind Archer Legion. This system is Tonigel’s new blood in the future, but he has not prevented the veterans from his original camp from participating. Many people have seen that this legion is the true core force of Brando in the future. Those who are optimistic about the future of the White Lion Guard, even include several mercenary commanders who were originally beside Brando-except for Krenxi In addition to serving in the logistics department, Uta and Fern took the initiative to join the White Lion Guard and became the Cavaliers of the Third and Fourth Battalions of the White Lion Guard. These people and Tonigel’s natives, as well as the young and powerful factions of the royal party drawn from the original White Lions, seem to have become the three major factions in the new White Lions. This so-called faction only stays at the geographic level.

Ulliel noticed the gaze of his colleague, and turned his head around-at the edge of the forest that was flush with the line of sight, dense white lion infantry were slowly walking out of it, and the young people had drawn out their swords and brushed them together. The lion’s epee was shining with a faint cold light in the drizzle; the flag bearer had not yet raised the flag, so the queue was not visible yet, but at the far end of the field of vision, there were several figures standing on horseback in the mist.

“Are you nervous?” In such a cold weather, Brando can almost breathe white gas, but with his strength, he naturally does not need to wear a metal mask, or even heavy armor, just wear it on the outside of the vest shirt. A breastplate, the belt under the gray breastplate was buckled tightly around the waist, and a double-headed fierce eagle coat of arms was etched on it. It was his new trophy: the Lonia gap. He was speaking these words to Freya next to him, and the future Valkyrie shook his head, “It’s not my first time on the battlefield, Brando really is,” she thought, but Amperisel was so nervous that he almost couldn’t hold the sword that he usually practiced very well. After fighting again and again, he got used to it no matter what. She raised her head and looked forward, her bright gaze seemed to be able to see through the smog a few miles away: “This is really like Buche, uncle, aunt, this time I’m going to drive those nasty invaders back. !”

The same is the gentle hills of the Yusong Mountains. Behind the rain and mist is the same enemy that night. Freya’s eyes seem to be burning with a firm belief, like the blazing fire of Buche that night, she unconsciously tightens The lion heart long sword in the hand.

A group of people walked out of the fog.

“Cagliice!” The priest Meria next to Brando let out a cry of relief. Now she is no longer a female companion in men’s clothing, but restored to a girl’s attire. Her beautiful light blonde hair makes her In the firs collar, she became a well-known beauty, but it made the kid Kaglisi cheaper. Merial’s father is a nobleman south of Amperisel. The family is of Cruz descent. Therefore, her father has inherited the temperament of the empire, and has always opposed her daughter’s love affair with Kaglisi, a poor country boy. , But since Brando’s blockbuster in the kingdom, his snobbish father-in-law is optimistic about Cagliese’s future and also acquiesced in this marriage. Because of this matter, Merial and Cagliese are now facing Burgundy. Lando was already desperate.

Cagliice blushed and glanced at Meria. There were a few young people behind him. Brando saw Cowen behind him at a glance, “He actually came in person.” Brando was slightly surprised, but Did not show it on the face. Instead, he raised his hand and threw a helmet with a long mane and wings embossed over it. Cagliice took the helmet and replied with a smiley face, “Cagliice will report to you, my lord, requesting to return to the team.” He caught a glimpse of his lord and nodded approvingly. He couldn’t help but look aside. Meriya glanced at it and replied a little embarrassed: “Lord Lord, why did you let her come too.”

“Ms. Merial is the most outstanding priest in the territory, and is the head of my army priests. Why can’t she come?” Brando replied badly, and then gave this guy a teasing look: “Of course, in In terms of personal matters, Meria belongs to your kid. But you can’t stop her from dedicating her abilities to the territory because of it, right, Kaglisi, you can’t be too selfish.”

In fact, Melia is not the first priest under Brando, but Hipamira, but Hipamira is Himirud priest, and Eruin under the temple of flames can only act alone. , Otherwise I’m afraid it will cause conflicts. When Brando said this, he suddenly remembered that there is another person who is currently living in the territory temporarily, and that is far superior to Merial in terms of the study of doctrine and the position in the temple. If the nun Princess, it’s just that Magdal hasn’t fully recovered yet, and Brando would not agree to her expedition to Jean Denell in such a bad weather even if she herself is still in the recovery period. It’s too inhumane.

The priestess blushed almost burning when he heard the second half of Brando’s words. Even though his face was as thick as a city wall, Caglisi couldn’t help but couldn’t help it. He found himself often gagging with the lord, but The Lord Earl seems to have signs of surpassing him in this aspect recently, which is really unfathomable. Of course he didn’t know that Brando had received thousands of times more information every day in his previous life. To say that his ability to complain is only far better than him and can never be slightly inferior. The reason why he didn’t care about him before was purely It’s because the majesty of the lord hasn’t been established yet.

I am afraid that even Kaglisi himself hadn’t noticed it. Before he knew it, he had completely approved this lord who was probably one or two years younger than him.

He hurriedly coughed twice to cover up the past. At this time, Brando had been looking at the Ke Wen behind him. The young man was thinner than when he first saw him. Both cheeks are deeply sunken in, but the pair of dark eyes are deeper and sharper. , And the whole person becomes more and more tenacious. He wears a thick animal skin cloak, and his temperament looks a bit like little Pello. He has only been missing for half a year. He has grown a lot taller. He was a teenager before, and now he has a master of the party. Demeanor.

“Long time no see, Lord Earl.” Ke Wen said first. He watched Brando and his subordinates teasing with interest before, but he was very surprised by the relationship between the master and slave of the other party. He was born in the mining area under the rule of Dnell, and he was accustomed to meeting the old nobles of Eruin. For the exploitation of the lower class, he hated the noble bureaucrats and had no good feelings. Like all people who had aspirations since his youth, Ke Wen dared to put his hatred into action; but in the final analysis, this future Rangde King Nell’s vision is still difficult to exceed this era. Although he yearns for equality and freedom, it is difficult to imagine a world that truly advocates equality between people. Therefore, it is even more difficult to understand Brando among aristocrats. Freak.

“It seems that this Count Tonigel is indeed a maverick like the rumors. I just don’t know whether it is because of his own character or hypocrisy?” In fact, he had the answer in his heart, after all, Brando Once in the underground of Schafflund, he was kind to all of them. The lord left a deep impression on him: different from the treachery of ordinary nobles, he paid attention to promises and kept his promises, and he was quite the demeanor of the ancient nobles. Ke Wen has never simply hated the nobles, but hatred blocking the decaying and degraded upper layers of the kingdom. Every Eruin has a yearning for the faith of the prince Eke, and Ke Wen is no exception. Brando is no exception. The appearance of a nobleman gave him a revelation.

Maybe this is the person he is looking for.

The future king of Dernell was extremely complicated, but he didn’t show any signs on his face. He looked at Brando. Brando actually had a vague guess in his heart at this moment, but he still couldn’t believe that this future lord of the party actually wanted to serve him? He was almost flattered. In Brando’s view, someone like Ke Wen could jump from a refugee status to the actual ruler of a region. He is definitely the kind of legend born and ambitious. People with ambitions, if Eruin’s pattern is not too small, his future achievements will not be limited to this. If this kind of person is placed in the history of his motherland in another life, then he is the founder of a dynasty, such a person. , Actually planning to take refuge in him?

For the first time since Brando traveled to this world, he felt a little overbearing, but he also quickly reacted in the air. After all, the current Cowen is not the future Jean Denell. The king, he is just a bandit leader now, he hasn’t met so many encounters in history, and because of his own existence, he probably won’t wait for that encounter in his life. At that time, when he was in Schafflund, the reason why Ke Wen did not take refuge in him was because he was just a bandit leader at the time, obviously not attractive to him; second, at that time, Ke Wen was obviously not now. With so many thoughts, he was still just a teenager, thinking about going outside of Schafflund to see the wider world.

But only half a year later, a major change has taken place in this young man’s heart, and it seems that this broader world has indeed changed his life.

“Thank you very much for everything you have done for the Sillman area in this war. Mr. Ke Wen, sometimes birth does not mean everything. Nobles are never born superior. There are many capable people, and you happen to be The most outstanding one of them.” Brando praised faintly: “Some people have a starting line far before you. They are sheltered by their parents, but now they are far behind you. Mr. Ke Wen, the ancient nobles When the sword ploughed the boundaries of this kingdom, their origin was never predestined by heaven, only five words-faith and struggle.”

Ke Wen’s eyes lit up instantly, which was exactly what he had been looking for. Brando’s words seemed to be confirmed by the confusion in his heart. He almost suspected that the other party had some insightful ability, and looked at Brando with an unbelievable look. But in fact, the future king of Jean De Nell was not wrong. Brando did have some power to penetrate his soul. In history, Ke Wen has been pursuing the glory of this ancient aristocracy. In fact, this is also the ideal that every Eruin person yearns for, but most people can only imagine in their hearts, but Ke Wen dared to put it into action.

Brando knew what the king of Dernell was thinking, so naturally he couldn’t say anything wrong. However, he is still a little worried. After all, the person before him is different from the experience in history. Maybe his outlook on life and likes and dislikes have long changed? But Ke Wen’s expression finally gave him a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, although the history of Warend is now in chaos, at least some details are still difficult to change.” He thought to himself that he should have touched the other party. Kind of a minute.

“西尔曼是王国南境重要的门户，它未来会如何，你今日已有所见，在这里往南，是一片黑暗的国度，那里正在冉冉升起的帝国未来将是王国最可怕的敌人。柯文先生，你能做的事情其实远远不止于今日这么多。”

柯文沉住气，摇了摇头：“我只是一介亡命之徒而已，伯爵大人，我今天所做的一切，远没有您说的这么高尚，起意不过仅仅是为了还大人你的人情。”

“柯文先生，你何必妄自菲薄。”这会儿芙蕾雅也听出来了，这两人之间恐怕有奸情，她一心为守护布契的理想而战，另一半心意就只系在布兰多身上，心知肚明布兰多想要收服眼前这个年轻人，布兰多所做的事她从来不必问为什么，就已经出言开口劝道。但柯文只是看了自己面前这女骑士一眼，摇了摇头，并未答话。

布兰多知道芙蕾雅那些从王立骑士学院学来的冠冕堂皇的话对这个野心勃勃的年轻人恐怕没什么用，那套东西也就能偏偏芙蕾雅这样心思单纯的少女罢了，他看着柯文，答道：“你我皆是亡命之徒，为这个王国与心中的信念而亡命天涯，在这样的坚持面前，其他的一切都不过微不足道，你何必要在意那些繁文缛节？”

柯文微微沉吟，便不再反驳，而是微微点了一下头站到一边，布兰多知道他已经心动，于是也不再追问，这人是个真正的人杰，而且他的出身与自己十分类似，如果他一旦投靠，那么只可能与他站在一起。纵观整个王国，除了他之外没有任何人会给予这些人同等的对待，事实上纵使是他自己，如果不是有公主殿下的支持与剑圣达鲁斯的孙子的这重身份，在王国内部也未必立得住脚。

贵族对于平民阶层的排斥是根深蒂固的。

细雨依旧，布兰多撇开这个问题，向一旁的卡格利斯问道：“说说看，前面现在如何了，我们的雅克伯爵现在是死是活，维埃罗的军队还有多少存留下来？”卡格利斯精神一振，立刻答道：“托莫伯那家伙还算是条汉子，虽然他手下那些扈从骑士蠢了点，差点葬送了维埃罗人，玛莎在上，我还从没见过那么惨烈的失败，那纯粹是个玩笑。不过领主大人，托莫伯竟然没让他手下的军队溃逃，也算是个奇迹。玛达拉那边，真是可怕……”

He mentioned Madara and couldn’t help but fought a cold war. Since the Battle of Ampersel, all of them have regarded the White Lion Guard very highly and never put Madara in their eyes. Although Brando mentioned the horror of the Bromantra rose more than once, in Kaglisi’s mind, the horror of the undead army is relative to the old army of Eruin. If he wants to come to the undead army against the nobles The private army will naturally sweep by, but in front of the White Lion Guard, it is nothing more than a chicken. The White Lion Guards had stubbornly withstood the impact of the demon army in the Battle of Ampersel. No matter how terrifying the legend of the undead, there is no recognized demon with the strongest individual combat power to get its name.

But everything he saw today made him feel refreshed, and his awe of the Lord Lord couldn’t help but deepen a bit.

In fact, every general who encounters the undead army for the first time will almost have the same idea as Kaglisi. As a separate individual, the undead may not be as scary as the devil, but once they are integrated into an army, it is the world. One of the most terrifying troops on the planet. This is a team that is silent, neither screaming because of fear nor fleeing because of injury. It is less than 100% of the battle damage rate. It will never give up resistance. There is no despair, no excitement. It will only move forward silently. Then swallow all the army.

And their opponents will never feel the advantage brought by the so-called bravery on these bone shelves, because even if you are powerful, but facing a piece of wood, it is meaningless, you still have to treat them one by one. Every one is killed and crushed to achieve victory.

The victor who fought against the undead will feel exhausted, and the loser, the loser will feel nothing, because they have become part of the black rose.

The rose of Bromanto will never wither, just like eternity.
