No matter if it was in his previous life or this one, Brando had always thought of himself as an ordinary person. The difference was that when he discovered that he had some abilities, on this basis, he naturally had greater ambitions and desires. Although this desire was to change the course of Erouine's history, to prevent the things that he regretted in the past from happening in this world.
This kind of thinking had nothing to do with greatness, even if it could indirectly save many people. However, Brando did not think that he had become noble because of this. Like any other ordinary person, his desires came from his own needs and feelings. He was sure of this, and it was just like how one of his creeds was to repay kindness with kindness. He never thought that he had the responsibility to restrain himself like a saint. But at the same time, he understood the principle of returning a favor. Thus, when Eke moved, Brando reacted.
"Lady Martha, I didn't offend you, did I?"
He cursed in his heart while dispelling the Silence spell. He then shouted at Eke: "Don't run that way, come back!"
The young man was stunned, but the Earth God's Messenger had already appeared between the two of them. The giant monster first glanced at Eke, but its gaze eventually returned to Brando. Although its brain was not very good, it could still recognize who its target was.
"I say, luring my monster away without saying anything is not something a gentleman would do." Brando looked at the Earth God's Messenger's densely packed compound eyes. His heart was in a mess, but he could not help but maintain his dignity as he said this. To be honest, he wanted to curse the young man in front of him, but he could not help but have a good impression of the young man's actions. He was in a dilemma.
After hesitating for a long time, he could only mock the young man in front of him.
"Thank you …" Eke only looked at Brando and smiled gratefully. In fact, he knew that if Brendel did not make a move, he would only be able to hold on for a few seconds before being torn to shreds. The difference between the strength of a Gold-ranked fighter and a Silver-ranked fighter was not something that could be calculated with common logic.
But speaking of which, it was still his fault. He was a mercenary, so of course he knew what the young man was holding. From Brando's gesture of dispelling the spell, he could tell that it was a Silence spell. This spell was often used in battles, especially during sneak attacks and infiltration, so he was not unfamiliar with it. But when he saw the Silence spell, he knew that he had made a huge mistake.
In other words, he was the one who had dragged the other party into danger. But even so, the young man who was covered in wounds still made a move.
He let out a sigh, he was certain that the young man was a righteous Knight. He had been obsessed with knight novels since he was a child. Even in his dreams, he wanted to be a chivalrous knight. Of course, becoming a mercenary was still a long way from his dream, but his belief had never changed. In fact, it was precisely because of this that he was so well-liked by the Grey Wolves Mercenaries.
"Mister Knight, let's defeat this monster!"
Eke took a deep breath and said excitedly. He knew that even if the two of them worked together, they would not be a match for the monster. But since they were going to die, they had to die a heroic death. To be able to fight side by side with a righteous Knight, Eke felt that it was not a misfortune. It was Martha's appreciation of his ideals.
But Brando did not understand this idea. He was slightly stunned: "What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the monster's eyes flashing red. This was a sign that it was about to attack. Brando's body tensed up instinctively. He had already activated [Charge], but the next moment, he realized that the attack he was waiting for did not come. Because when Ekman turned around, Brando saw the young man taking the opportunity to slash at him.
"Shit! Are you crazy? "
Brando wanted to use his hands to cover his eyes. This was a horrible sight. A young man who was at most level 30 Silver rank was attacking a level 65 Boss without hesitation. He could almost imagine what would happen next. As expected, before Eke's sword could even reach a meter away from the Earth God's Emissary, a layer of rock appeared out of nowhere and blocked his attack, preventing him from advancing.
This layer of rock was made up of hexagonal pieces of rock. It was one of the Earth Messenger's strongest passive skills – 'Rock Shield'. The rock was made up of the toughest granite. There were three layers from top to bottom, and each layer was at least six centimeters thick. As long as a physical attack was within a meter of Ekman, this layer of rock shield would automatically activate. Normal physical attacks would not be able to harm the monster at all.
But Eke did not know this. He knew that he was in trouble when his attack was blocked. But it was too late for him to retreat.
The Earth Messenger swung its arm, and a sharp wind blade was formed from the rock. Countless rock fragments flew past and formed a second attack. At that moment, Eke thought that he was going to die. But at that moment, he felt someone ramming into him with great force, and the two of them flew to the side. The young man groaned as he fell to the ground. He opened his eyes in shock and saw that the Earth Messenger's attack had missed.
He turned around with a pale face and saw Brando getting up from the other side. He immediately knew what happened. After a moment of shock, he quickly replied with gratitude: "Thank you … …"
"Damn it!"
Brando cursed in his heart. Another [Charge] skill was wasted. Even though Eke's character was not bad compared to Makarov and Buga, he was still a brainless idiot. He did not know how Makarov taught the only son of Duke Loen, but from the looks of it, Eke's education as a noble was a complete failure.
But the youth obviously did not know what Brendel was thinking. When he saw Brendel's silence, he thought that Brendel was thinking about how to deal with the monster. He made up his mind. If not for Brando's help, he would have died a long time ago. So he decided to be brave and said loudly: "Erm, Mister Knight. I'll hold him back, and you attack from the back — "
Brando did not cry. [Can't you see that it's pointless to attack from any direction? Can't you grow a brain?] However, in order to make this fellow shut up, he simply interrupted in annoyance, "Shut up! Now's not the time to talk nonsense! "
"I'm sorry … …"
"Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything." Brando turned around, but the moment he turned around, he saw the monster charging towards him like a heavy tank. Facing the Charge of a Level 65 Boss, he didn't dare to be careless. He immediately dodged to the left, wanting to use a Frontal Break on the Boss from the side where it couldn't attack. He wanted to see if the Armor Break attack could do any damage to the Rock Shield.
But what surprised him was that his dodge was surprisingly smooth. Logically speaking, even if Ekman's movement was slow, he shouldn't have given up on protecting his flank. He was prepared to take the hit, but he didn't expect that he would be able to escape from Ekman's attack range so easily. But he suddenly thought of another possibility and broke out in cold sweat. He turned around and saw Eke holding his sword in front of his chest, facing the Acolyte of Earth head-on.
"Is there a need to do this?!"
Brando gave up on using [Frontal Break] and raised his right hand to shoot out a Wind Bullet. The Ring of the Wind Empress had only been charged for about ten minutes, so it didn't have much power. However, the strong wind still disrupted Ekman's attack. Ekman's attack was supposed to hit the young man's chest, but it ended up hitting Ekman's left shoulder instead. Ekman screamed in pain as he flew backward and landed in the bushes. After a dull thud, he stopped breathing.
Brando quickly took a step back and looked at the monster that was slowly turning towards him. He cursed in his heart.
There was nothing he could do right now. He could only pray that Nalaethar would arrive quickly. But it seemed that this wish was not realistic. Or perhaps, Martha did not hear his prayers at all.
The forest was completely silent. It was as if there was only him and the Oracle left in the forest.
But at that moment, Brando heard a soft chuckle.
The chuckle was so sudden.
… …
For Amandina, the battle became much simpler after the Roman joined the fray. Of course, Romaine was not willing to tell him how many Exploding Crystals she had. At first, she gave him three Exploding Crystals, and the mercenaries used explosions to chase the Lizardmen off the platform. However, even though the barbarians from the forest didn't seem to have fully evolved, they at least knew how to protect themselves. Under the command of their lizardman lieutenant, the green-skinned reptiles quickly spread out and charged forward once again.
This time, the Roman gave them five Exploding Crystals, and shook his head to indicate that he did not have any left.
Romaine was a little clever because she could hear the sound of Nalaethar's horn from the other side of the battlefield. The long sound of the horn reverberated in the air above the ruins. This was the signal that they had agreed on. This meant that the battle had ended. Even though there were no reinforcements, they could at least retreat.
But for Amandina, this was not the result she wanted.
Thus, her order was simple. "Felaern, go and grab her bag for me."
The Elven girl obeyed her orders, and the end result was Romaine looking at Amandina with tears in her eyes. Amandina took out five crystals from her bag that was filled with strange items and asked with dissatisfaction: "Why did you hide so many?! These things are dangerous, didn't I tell you? "
"I took good care of them." Romaine replied with grievance.
"That's not the problem. Forget it, I'll tell you later …" Amandina sighed: "Felaern, distribute these Exploding Crystals. We're preparing to counterattack. "
She nodded and did as she was told.
The result of the battle was obvious. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
