The Shire's spell was finally completed.
A wall of light formed by countless lines appeared in front of Brando. The Black Knight, who had just arrived, slashed the wall with his scythe, leaving a trail of sparks behind. His golden pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately retreated. In fact, when he saw the wall, he already knew that his mission was a failure. He could no longer kill the young man in a short time. Putting aside the fact that the Wall of Law created by a Seventh Circle mentor was extremely sturdy, Brando himself was also a Gold-tier Rank-1. At first, he thought that he could rely on his speed to win, but he did not expect that the other party seemed to have known what he would do from the start. The young human decisively gave up on supporting the entire battlefield and withdrew all the dragoons just to restrict his movements.
Despite having so many bodyguards around him, he still chose to give up on the overall situation and focus on his own safety. Such a person was either too afraid of death, or he had a terrible sense of judgment. But no matter which one it was, at least he had won the gamble.
Haku raised his head, the flames in his golden eyes burning. He calmly looked into Brando's light brown eyes not far away. He even had a feeling that his opponent was an old rival he had fought for many years.
Of course, Haku did not know that Brando was the old rival he had fought for many years. The two of them had fought more than ten times in the mountains of the Church's Knight's Nation, Grace. They knew each other very well. Moreover, at that time, Haku had already obtained the Evil Dragon's Blood. Whether it was maturity or strength, the Black Knight could not compare to him now. However, Brando's understanding of Haku and his own experience had not changed at all.
But all of this was strange in the eyes of the Black Knight.
He retreated, and Brando immediately ordered, "Stop him!"
Haku Tiamas Qiu Yue, one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, the Black Knight of the Scales of War and the Judge of War, was an undead general of Madara. Although his individual strength was always at the bottom of the Four Knights, he was the most talented commander among the four. Brando knew that he was the one who led the strategy to defeat Braggs in the Second War of the Black Rose, and it was not his style to let him return to Madara and become a thorn in the side of Erouine in the future. Besides, to him, killing Haku here was equivalent to cutting off one of Tarkus's arms. Furthermore, the undead army of Madara would not give him so much pressure in the south.
Furthermore, he still had to face the wrath of Count Randner.
Haku heard Brando's words, and he could not help but sneer. You want to kill him? It's not that easy. Even though he could not do anything to Brando at the moment, that was because he still had to maintain the nobles' private army. If he did not have any worries and wanted to teach this young human a lesson, he believed that the outcome would be different. Even though Brando's words angered him, Haku still chose to retreat. As a general who excelled in intelligence, knowing what to do at the right time was an essential quality.
He turned around and shook off The Shire's Barrier of Stillness, and flashed past the two holy angels like a ghost, and finally brushed past Scarlett who had chased after him from the battlefield. The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and the red-haired girl only had time to turn around to see the Black Knight's back was already dozens of meters away.
"Bastard —" She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the Black Knight.
Brando shook his head.
In fact, he was also disappointed. He did not expect that he would fail. He wanted to use words to provoke this guy to stay, but he did not expect this guy to be as calm as he was after the first War of the Black Roses. He thought that Haku had always been arrogant, and he was not as mature as he was later, so he might be a little impulsive.
"How troublesome, this freak —" Brando could not help but curse: "Torrential Rain's design team, do you even know how to make an NPC? Can't you think from a player's point of view and make it simpler? Bastard!"
But he immediately thought of another problem and turned to The Shire: "The Shire, go find Cornelius. He might need your help, and I'm worried that Haku will take Graudin away — "
"Cornelius?"
"A mercenary commander. He's one of us now."
"What should I do, my lord?"
"Are you a mage or am I a mage? Act according to the circumstances, "Brando replied:" If that silly girl Freya can become the Goddess of War, I believe you can do the same. "
"Huh?"
"It's nothing," Brando replied with a straight face: "I'm just helping her plan her life."
"Understood," The Shire bowed: "It's an honor."
"Go." Brando nodded. The Shire could not help but sigh when he saw the red-haired girl limping towards him: "She really looks like Miss Freya, my lord. So this is your type —" But before he could finish his sentence, Scarlet rolled her eyes. Scarlet gritted her teeth and glanced at the Shire before walking past him to Brando's side.
"Scarlet?" Brando asked.
"Yes?" Scarlet was slightly surprised.
Brando looked at her.
"I'm fine," Scarlet wiped the blood off her face and replied casually: "But my lord, Metisha, she …"
"I know." Brando nodded. [But it doesn't matter. I still have enough Light Elemental Energy to save Metisha.]
Scarlet glanced at the young lord.
She vaguely knew the relationship between the Silver Fairy Princess and this young lord. Even though it was a little strange, she nodded and did not ask any more questions. She just needed to make sure that Metisha was fine. Even though Brando did not reply, she got the answer she wanted from his face. She knew that Brando was not the kind of person who would be indifferent to his subordinates' deployment.
*****
The situation on the battlefield was changing. In fact, the mercenaries had already crossed the last line of defense of the nobles' private army.
After Haku retreated, he immediately ordered the nobles to retreat into the inner city. But he did not expect that his order would cause the situation on the battlefield to become even more difficult to deal with.
The Black Knight was used to commanding an undead army in battle. Even though he understood the habits of humans, he was not as good as the human generals when it came to understanding human nature. Without the support of the undead, Graudin's private army had no place to stand. Their morale was already shaken, and the nobles' private army completely lost their confidence when they heard the order to retreat. They scattered along the five streets like ducks being chased out of a thousand miles. Brendel ordered the Nightsong Tiger to tell Cornelius not to kill them all before they entered the inner city. Otherwise, these arrogant and domineering nobles' private soldiers would probably be crying for their parents by now.
Mr. Tyamas could only stare at the scene with his mouth agape.
When the Black Knight got on his horse and saw the army scattering, he couldn't help but curse: "Fools!"
But cursing was meaningless. Haku understood that. He looked up and saw the light spots that seemed to be cruising in the night sky. Occasionally, they would shoot one or two beams to the ground, taking away the nobles' private soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting, or the undead squads that had been scattered. The Undead General's eyes flashed with interest. The young human had given him a bigger surprise than he had imagined. A summoner?
Summoners didn't have such strange summoning spells, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was ancient magic. In the era before the Dark Dragon, the system of magic was very different from the one now. Just like the Ancient String Magic used by the Dragons, it was a completely different concept from modern String Magic. Haku's golden eyes narrowed slightly. [If only Lord Tarkus' main force is here. Ghosts and high-ranked liches would be able to suppress these aerial units.] But he knew that it was just wishful thinking. Lord Incirsta had a more important mission in the south, and his main force was used to deal with Erouine's Southern Legion. It was impossible for him to appear here.
He knew that the White Tower's Bone Thorn Army was already the limit, but he shook his head when he saw that the young human had caused him to lose close to ten percent of his army's strength. Fortunately, it was just a skeleton javelin thrower.
But even if he won, it wouldn't be that easy.
There were still a few dozen guards in the inner city, most of them were Knights that Graudin had usurped. He could rely on them to hold on for a while, but in this situation, taking the baron away was the safest option. It was hard to say if they could hold on until the main force arrived. He didn't want to take the risk. The black Knight thought about this and silently looked towards the west.
"Young human, our battle is still ongoing."
The black Knight's Nightmare Warhorse passed by the scattered soldiers and entered the inner city at the fastest speed possible.
He dragged his long cloak across the drawbridge like a bolt of black lightning, ordering the Knight in the porch to raise the drawbridge and close the gate. He decisively gave up on the idea of reorganizing the burdens behind him. Not to mention whether the young human would give him the time to do so, Haku didn't plan to let them charge into the inner city to prevent him from taking advantage of the situation.
As for whether the humans outside were dead or alive, it had nothing to do with him.
When the undead general of Madara changed into a new set of armor and arrived at the top of the walls, he found that Brando and his mercenaries had already reached the inner city. They were faster than he expected. The scattered soldiers were fleeing along the walls of Abies' castle, unable to stop them at all. He turned around and saw Graudin standing beside him, wearing a long silk robe. His face was pale.
"Lord Tiamas?" The baron couldn't help but ask.
"We can't stop them here," the black Knight looked down and replied coldly: "If you want to stay alive, you have to come with me."
The baron was stunned.
"What about my men?" He asked in a small voice.
"Can you control them?" The golden eyes under the metal mask coldly glanced at him.
Graudin was speechless.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise. Both of them turned their heads at the same time, just in time to see a young man wearing a long robe with three golden patterns embroidered on his sleeves walk out from the mercenaries. He held a short staff in his hand and pointed forward. Six golden rays immediately extended from the main street to the top of the inner city wall.
Graudin was stunned. "It's that archmage, stop him!" Haku growled.
But it was too late. The Knight lowered his hand and said: "Substance Conversion, Law: Equivalent Exchange."
"Azu?" The gem at the tip of the staff lit up. (Ancient Language: Exchange?)
"Mana."
The six golden lines glowed faintly and extended downwards. Behind the lines, three gigantic bridges made of stone appeared out of thin air.
There was complete silence.
