Chapter 20

Act 20 The Persuader ()

Breson sat down and glanced at Brando, believing the guy was lying. He and Brando were militiamen in the same period when they were in Ankerze. Although they hadn't seen them during Braggs, they knew about each other's experiences.

The son of a miller, even if his grandfather was a knight of the November war, his mother had a bit of aristocratic blood, but could have any strange experience. Then he was transferred to the guard, and the boy reportedly wanted to inherit his father's business, but somehow went to Butch to stay for a year.

This year is obviously unlikely to let him grow those insights, but if the boy wants to lie, he really has to weigh whether he can deceive Madden. Bryson turned his head to glance at his captain. Although the old captain was very bad and stubborn, he was very savvy. The general lie can be pierced by him in a few words.

After all, soldiers who can survive the November war from beginning to end are not simple people.

After Breson sat down, another young man in the security team saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and then began to follow along with what Bresen said before. He was talking about some details of the encounter from the beginning of the day to the afternoon, and the people around him occasionally agreed and nodded or added a word. Among the group, only Bryson and the old captain said nothing.

Madden, whom Brando knew, was so bad-tempered that he almost scolded him. However, at the critical moment, he was sinking into heart. This is the quality of the veteran, but his silvery gray eyebrows occasionally moved slightly, showing inner anxiety.

As for Bryson, make up your mind and just sit back and watch.

As soon as Brando heard them described, he knew who they were encountering. The army that followed from Butch should be the 'corpse witch' Roscoe. Rothko in the game is a very talented undead wizard, this nickname is also given to him by players. His talent is the corpse witch-the souls of the called souls are more likely to be transformed into corpse witches-so his army has a feature to replenish the soldiers very quickly. Polish the morale of the enemy.

Roscoe should be just an apprentice of the necromancer this season, Brando guessed that his position in the Targus attack sequence will not exceed the identity of a squadron leader. In fact, he guessed the same, but he couldn't think of how he and the other side had seen each other far away-the night when he escaped from Butch.

He did not need to guess the other army. In history, it was Kabais who leveled the village. This bone skeleton is not famous in history, but Madara is already a member of Tagus at this time.

So Rothko's squadron size should be more than two hundred, and there are at least twenty corpses. As a main force, Kabais should also concentrate at least one fifth of the left wing of Targus. Such a large-scale unit must not be a skeleton soldier, but there may be black warriors and pale knights.

Fortunately, the army of the undead has to block several main points in the forest. It is impossible to concentrate their forces in one place. Today the refugees should meet half of Rosco's squadron and one of Kabais's. Retreat.

Of course Brando couldn't say that in detail, otherwise the source of the news would be very problematic. Those legends, anecdotes, or stories can be said before, and even the enemy's troop arrangement is clear. This is beyond explanation. Being a prophet is also skillful.

He decided to start from the previous topic. He paused and said, "I don't know if you've heard of Anser. This is the base of the necromancer. In fact, Madalan is divided into three factions. One is a vampire and the other is a necromancer. I wo n’t explain these two factions. You should have heard legends about them. The remaining faction is also a powerful faction. We call them Dark Lords. Bandits, bandits, sinful Templars, nobles expelled from the human world, or undead wanderers, who believe in the Black Code, are rulers in the traditional sense of Madara. "

"It's novel, but it's just a story." A member of the guard responded.

"No, you imagine that when one unites these three factions, Madara will rise from the darkness. Coincidentally, they have a prophecy about that."

"But you said before that this country has never really been unified."

"It used to be, but the opportunity was almost here."

"But what does it matter to us?"

"Of course. Have you heard of the legend of the mercury cane?" Brando suddenly changed the subject.

"Is that the prophecy, it is said that someone will get the mercury cane that will unify the dark world?" Some of the guards asked.

Brando nodded: "Its full name is 'Rocky's Mercury Cane'. Let me tell you who Rocky is. He is a genius undead wizard who almost completed that great undertaking in his alive-unity. Madala. However, after a shortfall of success, the whereabouts of the cane became a mystery, leaving only a legend that when someone got it, he would become the king of the dark world again. "

"But since this spring, someone has witnessed the emergence of mercury rods in Anser."

"Wait," Bresson's face changed. "The rumor was true a few months ago?"

"months ago?"

"Ah, I remember, it seems that a businessman brought the news over there, saying that someone had opened a door with a strange cane."

"The door of sighs," Brando added, "that's Rocky's treasure house, and it's where his throne is--"

The old security captain's brows frowned deeply: "Boy, although I don't quite understand the intrigue between the big men, but you mean that there has been a big change in Madara? That is wonderful, at least This means that Madara must have been prepared this time. Although it is not clear what their purpose is, at least it will not be a small plunder, invasion? This sounds a bit ridiculous, but it seems not impossible —— "

His calloused hand rested on his knee, and there was very close to his sabre: "Bresson, do you know this young man?"

Bryson was stunned, he knew that at this time, as long as he opened his mouth to doubt, although the captain would not immediately pierce the boy with a sword, he would at least catch him up and make him speechless.

He couldn't help glancing at Brando gloomily, without concealing the irony in his eyes. But he thought for a while, but didn't choose: "I know him, and I think he's lying. But my reason tells me that this man has no reason to deceive us-"

"What if he has been bought by Madara." Madden asked again.

"I didn't think about it that way, but considering his and Freya's experience, if Madara's command function is so far-reaching, then I don't think I'm wrong."

"Very good, Brason." Madden patted his off-hand shoulder.

Huh?

Not only Madden, but even Brando couldn't help but glance at the young deputy captain of the guard, it seems that this guy is not worthless. Of course, the impression of abomination is that it cannot be changed, and the mind is too narrow to be a big tool. He talked about each other's character from the perspective of God. Of course, Bryson must know that Brando's thoughts at this moment must regret the fair words he said before.

But in fact, even if Bryson denies or slanders. Brando had his own way of persuading Madden that, as a man who was a prophet of the future, he had already stood at a higher level.

It's just that it's unavoidable to talk more, and maybe something will fall.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic," Madden said. "Boy, so you think Madara's goal is Ridenburg?"

"In the Golan-Elsen region, the only line of defense that Eruin can rely on is the Villemil Fortress. Ridenburg protects the flanks of this line of defense, so Madara can only target Ridenburg." Bran Nodded more.

Madden couldn't help rubbing his nose and cursing: "Since Madara's determination has been made, it must not be a small character who has bitten us before? Hell, why do we have to bear a bit of bad things? child!"

"I'm not sure about the specific situation," Brando said, bluntly. "But from your description, it should be an undead army led by an undead wizard. The one that followed was It could be the army of the Dark Lord— "

"The army of undead wizards is based on the corpse witches, which is very easy to distinguish. According to your description, it should be half a squadron. The dark lord is more confused, but from the perspective of the troops reserved by Qing Village, at least also More than two squadrons. "

"Almost." Madden nodded.

But he didn't know that Brando had already said half of the number, but even half of it still made everyone worried. How could an army of undead of this size, with more than thirty members of the guard team, bring a group of old, weak women and children to break through successfully?

The old captain also sighed: "Okay, Brando. Now that you come to tell us, can I think that you already have an idea in my heart? I might as well tell you clearly that if the battle is really like you said, I don't have Be sure to take these people out. "

This made Freya whisper low.

But Brando nodded. "I have a way."

Everyone's eyes focused on him at once. Even Bresson's eyes were unavoidable, but they were unavoidable.

This made Brando take a breath a little nervously. In the end, he just had some confidence, and this attention still made the young people feel a little stressed. Suddenly he realized that every sentence he said next might be related to the life and death of many people, and whether he should be more careful.

He couldn't help reminding himself to calm down, don't remember what was lost.

"Everyone can go north and cross the beach of daggers," he replied.

"Dagger River?"

"That place, why?"

Brando hesitated. How could he explain why in history the 'White Knight' Eberton and the 'Ghost' Weyton had arrived nearly two days late to make the encirclement?
