Brando put down his sword.
"It's too dark, it's not a good idea to come out at this time." He smiled and glanced at these people. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked past the twenty or so people.
The young guards subconsciously opened up a path for him. Bretton held his sword tightly and stared at Brando. However, he restrained himself, because he knew that once he made a move, he would not be able to cover up the commotion. The people beside him wanted to rush forward, but they were stopped by him.
The atmosphere in the small forest was tense.
But Brando walked to the end of the forest and stopped, saying: "Bretton, so you learned how to disobey orders in the guards? And your plan is so lousy. You should know Captain Marden's temper. You actually want to force him to agree to your request? If it were me, I would sneak out with my men and leave only one person to inform him — "
Everyone was stunned.
Bretton's hand on the sword hilt twitched. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He could not help but wonder what Brendel was trying to do.
"Tell me, when are you going to attack? I'll decide when to move."
"Before dawn."
The young vice-captain thought for a while. Although he was suspicious of Brando's motives, his plan did sound tempting, and it was much more feasible than their original plan.
"Then you better hide in the Fox Forest. That area should be the closest to Madara's undead army. Also, I'll pick up a piece of paper and pass it to Marden to let him know that you will attack before the Crimson Star disappears, right? "
"… …"
"Also, pay attention when dealing with the liches. Their spells will only work on people with weak willpower!"
"Brando, what are you trying to do? How did you find Zeta and the others? Where did you learn your swordsmanship? "Bretton put down his sword and asked with a gloomy face.
"Well, after this farewell, I may not see you again. You may not see me again. Be it enemies or enemies, we may not see each other again. Maybe it's just a memory. After all, we are Erouine's people. Good luck. "
Brando waved his hand, indicating that it was not worth mentioning what he wanted to do.
Bretton was silent.
… …
Let's not talk about how Bretton's decision made Marden fly into a rage. Freya had already gathered a small group of militia, but found that she had nowhere to go. The veteran from the November War had no choice but to let her form a group of militia, and they prepared to break out of the encirclement at the River of Daggers.
At the same time, Jonathon and Petit-finis were sending off Brando and Roman. Petit-finis was ordered to leave the militia by Freya because he was too young. He was dissatisfied, but he was still young. Brando praised him a little and he was full of energy again, saying that he wanted to go to Fortress Riedon.
Of course, he could not agree. If he did, he would probably be stabbed by Freya's sword. Although Brando needed a helper, Petit-finis was too young and not suitable.
He patted the little rascal's head.
Jonathon, who was at the side, did not dare to speak. He looked at Brando with shame. He knew that it was because of this young man that he was able to survive. Of course, he could not blame anyone else but himself for being too cowardly.
"I'm … … sorry, Brando, thank you … … for saving me."
"It's okay. Everyone has a moment of confusion. Jonathon, everyone is willing to bring you along because they believe that you will return to them. Alright, cheer up. Don't let others look down on you. "
"Thank you."
Brando nodded and looked at the sky. The stars were fading away, indicating the arrival of dawn. But because of the lack of light from the stars and the moon, it would be the darkest moment of the world. But it did not matter because the dawn was already on the other side of the mountains.
Withdrawing his gaze from the dark shadows of the mountains on the horizon, he and Roman lit the torches together. Although it was not wise to light a torch in the dark, the direction they were going was far away from Madara's territory. Even if there were occasional beasts, Brando thought that the biggest threat in the Beldor forest would be the wolves. At most, three to five of them would be easy to deal with.
Besides, beasts were afraid of fire.
The two followed the dense forest all the way to the south. At the end of the torch, they could see the black pine forest that was commonly seen in the Gran region. Occasionally, there would be shadows of animals, but they would disappear in a flash. They crossed one or two mountains and looked down. The terrain gradually became rugged. What was strange was that the surrounding trees seemed to have begun to wither. Jagged rocks protruded from the ground, especially at the bottom of the valley. There were rocks everywhere.
"Brando?" Roman asked. The sudden change in the environment was a little scary.
"Yes, it's nothing. Follow me closely. "
Seeing such a scene, Brando knew that they were close to their destination.
It was not that he had never been to the Zevail Mountain Road in the game. It was a very famous place, and it was very dangerous for players below level 20. But Brando knew of an exception.
He could not help but recall some memories of that place.
The Zevail Mountain Road was in the southern part of the Beldor forest. It passed through the Pine River Valley in a lush forest. The reason for opening this mountain road was to transport wood to the lower reaches of the Pine River. But later, as Madara's power expanded, most of the timber factories withered.
As a result, the Zevail Mountain Road declined and became a path for illegal merchants to smuggle goods. Later, a Golden Demonic Tree took root here. It extracted nutrients from the ground and caused the forest to wither. It also killed any creatures that entered carelessly. Slowly, the Zevail Mountain Road became a death zone.
The level 31 Golden Demonic Tree Leader had already awakened its second level of power. Its strength was on par with an Iron ranked swordsman or intermediate wizard. Even the regular army would not easily provoke such a troublesome enemy. Moreover, it did not cut off the connection between Fortress Riedon and Bucce. The kingdom's Knights were too lazy to deal with it.
In the game, this was a famous dungeon area. The Golden Demonic Tree Leader dominated this area for the first three years of the game. The NPC's way of dealing with it was to place a wooden board at the entrance. It was written in Dwarven, Elven and Cruz's common language.
"Danger! Those who enter this place should give up all hope! "
Of course, there were still some players who wanted to challenge themselves. But those who entered alone could not even see the face of the Golden Demonic Tree. About a year after the game started, people started to form groups to explore the area. But most of them only reached the Pine River Valley before they were forced to retreat.
Even in the second half of the second year, there were still news of teams being wiped out in the local bars. It became the topic of conversation after a meal. Then, it entered the second War of the Black Rose. The number of teams that entered the Zevail Mountain Road decreased, but they became more professional.
Brando remembered that he entered the valley during that era. His experience in the game was mediocre. He was neither too aggressive nor too conservative. He remembered that his team went all the way to the Pine River Valley. From there, they could even see the endless Dark Forest and the shadowy mountains.
But the deepest memory of that adventure was not the scenery that was so different from Bucce, but the strength of the monsters in the dungeon and the frequency of encountering them. Overall, the team was almost at their limit every day. In the end, they could not hold on any longer and had to retreat.
But in less than two months, a guild called 'Muda' completely solved the problem in this area. That guild was famous for a time, but later people found out that they were not that strong. They were just lucky to have found a special way to fight. Later, this way of fighting was put on the internet by some people, and it even led to a craze of soloing the Golden Demonic Tree.
Back then, in order to farm a Golden Demonic Tree's Heart. Brando was one of the beneficiaries of this video.
But at that time, the average level of Bucce was 27. Brando remembered that he was also level 27 when he entered the dungeon. But this time, he only asked to pass through the Zevail Mountain Road, and not to kill the Golden Demonic Tree Boss. Moreover, he still had the Ring of the Wind Empress and the Thorn of Light that had a purifying effect against dark creatures. Otherwise, he would have been helpless.
Thinking back to that time, the price of magic equipment in the game was still high even after the first year. When he entered the Zevail Mountain Road, he did not even think about equipment with strength over 10 OZ. As for the Ring of the Wind Empress and the Thorn of Light, they were like floating clouds.
But in this life, because of his foresight, he actually had these two items from the start. He could not help but feel that it was unreal. If he was lucky enough to escape this calamity, thinking about the future, Brando could not help but feel a little excited.
But because of this, he had to cherish the opportunity in front of him. He tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, and turned around to ask the Roman to follow him. The future merchant lady seemed to have some talent for adventuring. She stretched out her hands and jumped left and right on the jagged rocks in the valley. She was actually very agile.
Dawn had finally arrived, and the stars had disappeared. The surroundings had sunk into darkness and deathly stillness. Only the torches were left burning, and the flickering light reflected the deep ravines and shadows on the stacked rocks.
From afar, they looked like two sparks in the forest.
Brando remembered that there was a place to take shelter from the wind. It was too dangerous to enter the Zevail Mountain Road at this time. He decided that it would be safer to travel during the day. After all, this place was almost out of the range of Madara's undead army.
The earliest Madara army to arrive at Fortress Riedon was the Kabias tribe, and it was on the morning of the third day. This meant that he still had a whole day to plan his plan. There was plenty of time.
He looked up and vaguely saw a road sign in front of him.
