However, after a series of discussions, Brando came to the conclusion that using the Magi as the frontline was a crazy idea.
The Magi were not only useful in sending back information, but also in concealment, erasing information, and evading pursuers.
Even so, The Shire only supported the idea of using the Magi in the early stages of the war. Once the enemy understood the Magi's strategy, the Magi's losses would be unbearable.
Brando could only accept the Shire's reasoning. He knew that The Shire was not wrong, and he was not wrong either. It was just that the time was not right, and the largest demonic wave in history was not here yet.
Brando glanced at the mercenary who delivered the letter. He took the letter and opened it, but his expression instantly turned serious. Dark clouds seemed to cover his face, and it was even uglier than the gray sky at this time of the year.
Scarlett and the Elven princess looked at each other worriedly. They rarely saw Brando with such a serious expression. Did something happen?
"My lord?" Metisha asked softly.
Brando shook his head.
The letter was very simple. It only stated that a clan of Highlanders had appeared in Lord Palas' territory. It could be said that if this letter was in the hands of any of Brando's subordinates, it would not attract any attention.
The term 'Highlanders' was commonly used in Randner's territory. These natives were constantly at war with Erouine and the other 'outsiders'. Lord Palas had been dealing with them for more than half of his life.
If someone else saw this letter, they would probably be glad that the old Knight was in trouble again. However, this letter had a different meaning in Brando's eyes.
"It seems that we have to add a new list of enemies to our list."
The young Lord smiled helplessly and passed the letter to Medissa. But the Elven princess only took a glance at it and asked after a moment of surprise, "What's the matter?"
"Highlanders? They aren't Count Randner's enemies. My lord, you said that Knight Palas has been fighting against them for years. Why would they join him in attacking us? "
Metisha asked in confusion.
"The Highlanders are divided into many tribes. The tribe mentioned in the letter came from the east of Mount Grahar, and they have always been under Count Randner's rule in name. However, the Highlanders have a strong sense of territory, and they rarely move to other regions on a large scale, much less leave their dominion."
"Then?" Scarlet didn't know much about military affairs, but she could tell that something was wrong with Brando's tone.
"I don't think they're here for the Slumber Celebration. I don't know what Count promised these stubborn fellows, but I'm sure they're here for us."
"It doesn't matter," Scarlet snorted softly: "It doesn't matter who comes, we will defeat them."
When Brando heard this, he could only smile. He knew that this red-haired girl was just cheering him on.
On the other hand, Metisha was calmer: "Is it a big problem?" She asked.
Brando shook his head: "Of course it will increase the pressure on us, but it's hard to say how much. I believe that old fox Count Randner has mobilized more than one Highlander tribe."
He looked into the distance. The snow had already turned the streets into a hazy fog. "It seems like I've underestimated these 'beasts' who fight all day long!"
Even though Brando said it casually, he was not confident in his heart. Who knew how many Highlanders would enter Palas? Perhaps the supply of food to these people would be a bottleneck.
However, Brando did not know how long Count Randner would be able to mobilize resources in his territory.
In any case, Lord Palas's army, the Highlanders, and the undead of Madara.
The young man could not help but frown deeply.
"Should we inform Miss Amandina?" Metisha asked.
Brando shook his head. Amandina was left behind at the south gate. She was responsible for supervising the mercenaries as they paid the workers. The wages were calculated using the copper coins of the Free Port, and each person only received a few copper coins.
It was not a lot, but it was better than nothing. It could be said that the symbolic meaning was greater. Amandina's original intention was to save the money, but it was part of the Roman's plan to revive the city. She naturally could not agree to it.
In the end, Amandina could not take it anymore and simply dragged the young man to the construction site. When he thought of this, Brando could not help but smile and shake his head despite his heavy heart.
He recalled how little Romaine pretended not to know and tried to shirk the responsibility, but in the end, she was dragged back by the noblewoman's order.
Amandina was different from him. Even if she pretended to be teary-eyed, she would not be moved. Even though Amandina was probably Romaine's best friend other than Freya, Amandina was probably Romaine's closest friend.
But when it came to official matters, Amandina would not give him any face.
Whenever he thought of the young man who always gave him a headache and was helpless in front of Amandina, Brando felt that it was very interesting.
At that time, he was glad that he avoided the young Roman quickly. Otherwise, the young man would definitely blame it on him. Amandina might be able to keep her promise to others, but she could not do anything to this young lord.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and returned to the matter at hand. The young man patted the letter in his hand: "Actually, I want to know who sent this information back."
"What do you mean?"
"Most people probably would not pay attention to these Highlanders because they are too common in this place. In other words, what we thought of, the person who sent this information back must have thought of it as well." Brando was a little puzzled.
He knew this because he had knowledge and vision that surpassed this world. In fact, if he did not talk to The Shire about some things related to this matter, he was afraid that even the Shire would not be able to see anything from this letter.
And other than him and The Shire, everyone else was the same.
Then who was the person who sent this letter back?
Brando was puzzled, but for a moment, he noticed that the Elementalist in front of him was looking at him, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. The young man was slightly startled and asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, my lord … …" The Elementalist's expression was a little strange, and he stammered as he answered: "Just now, Lord The Shire sent me another letter, saying that it was for you."
"What's with the letter?" Brendel asked with a frown. [What's that guy up to again?]
"My lord, do you want to see it?"
"Of course — …" Brando said in a bad mood. Since it was said that it was for him, how could he not see it? But he looked at the Elementalist with some doubts. No matter how he looked at it, the Elementalist's words seemed a little inappropriate.
"That," But the Elementalist's expression became even more strange: "My lord, can you turn around first?"
Turn around? What kind of play is this?
Before Brando could react, he saw the shadow of a spear flash by his side, and Scarlet had already stretched out her spear and placed it on the Elementalist's neck.
"Take it out!" Scarlet said coldly.
The Elementalist was stunned, or rather, he was obviously frightened. Then, with a trembling but bitter face, he took out a strange creature from under his robe — it was his familiar.
Brando only needed a glance to recognize the strange creature, of course, so did the others — because it was only a duck.
Using a duck as a familiar?
This time, not only Brando, but also Scarlet and Metisha were stunned.
Out of the three of them, one was an experienced player, one was the princess of the Silver Elven Empire, and one was a mercenary who had participated in many battles. Most of them had dealt with all kinds of Wizards, Elementalists, and even Witches. However, even though they had seen all kinds of strange people, they were still quite different.
But they had never seen a wizard who used a duck as a familiar.
Brando was stunned for a while, then he nodded: "Very good, very unique." As far as he knew, there were many wizards who used all kinds of strange Tamed Demons. As for Elementalists, shouldn't most Elementalists use fairies as their Tamed Demons?
"My lord," the Elementalist said with a bitter face: "This has nothing to do with me, I originally didn't have a familiar. This thing … this thing was given to me by the lord of The Shire, he said that using a duck as a familiar can bring luck. "
"It is indeed very lucky," Brando could only helplessly shake his head: "What is your name?"
This was the first time he looked at this guy carefully. In fact, this guy was just a young man about the same age as him, and he looked quite handsome. But ever since he saw this guy take out a duck as a familiar, he felt that this guy was very funny no matter how he looked at it. If this guy was born in his time, he would have been a comedian.
He looked back at Scarlet and Metisha. Scarlet was fine, but Metisha also seemed to find it funny.
"My lord, I was just an apprentice, they called me Red Pig."
"Red Pig?"
"That's the name of a magical beast in my hometown."
Brando also remembered that it was a magical beast that was over level 30. It had a fierce temper and rough skin, so not many people were willing to deal with it.
He looked at the duck in the guy's hand and coughed: "How about this, you can follow me from now on. I happen to need an apprentice."
"My lord, you need an apprentice?" The Elementalist was stunned: "My lord, are you a wizard?"
"No," Brando shook his head: "I am an Elementalist. Anyway, don't ask too much nonsense, just follow me."
Elementalist?
The Elementalist was stunned again. Elementalists could usually sense each other's presence, especially high-level ones. They would have an innate sense of oppression towards low-level existences.
But he did not feel such oppression from this young lord at all. There was only one possibility, and that was that this young lord's strength was weaker than his own, or was about the same as his own.
However, the Elemental Apprentice didn't even dare to think about this possibility. After all, this was the legendary Lord who was said to be omnipotent. He had only seen this Lord from afar a few times before, but he had long heard of the mysterious and powerful legends of this Lord many times.
But wasn't this lord a Gold-ranked swordsman? How did he become an Elementalist?
The young man, who was nicknamed 'Red Pig', became more and more confused.
But Brando just waved his hand at him. He did need an apprentice, but not just an apprentice. He needed an apprentice to prepare for his other plan, which had to be put on the agenda now.
The appearance of the Highlanders as an enemy inexplicably made Brando feel a sense of urgency.
"That's it," he said, looking at the young man: "You will follow me from now on, and I will give you a name. Let's call you Mordenkainen."
"Mordenkainen?" The young man was stunned.
