The black forest stretched as far as the eye could see under the night sky. The howls of the wolves echoed in the forest, echoing from afar.
The howls got closer and closer, and the air seemed to be filled with the low growls of the beasts. The black creatures moved through the forest. They would occasionally stop and raise their heads to sniff out the scent of life. Their hard noses were filled with white mist in the cold air.
A red light appeared in the darkness, and then specks of scarlet light appeared. The specks of light were densely packed together, like an endless ocean.
The youths sucked in a breath of cold air, and the faces of the Aouine nobles who did not manage to leave in time changed.
"Prepare for battle!" Count Audine knew that they could not escape in this situation. The general made a prompt decision and ordered his Knight subordinates.
At this time, the young men under Brando were already in formation.
"Maintain the formation!" Someone shouted.
Brando turned around and saw that the leaders of the groups were maintaining the formation. Most of the young men looked pale, but the leaders were doing well. Although they were not calm, they were at least calm.
"Use the spears first!" Kodan shouted beside the young men, "Quick, pick up the spears!"
A phalanx of spears appeared in the open space.
"Level the spears! Level them! "
"Spread out the formation!" The shouts of the team leaders rose one after another.
The spears were slowly leveled. The sharp edges of the spears reflected the golden light of the bonfire and flashed slightly, as if the tip of the spears had extended forward. The wolves stopped and stopped moving forward. The sea of red dots suddenly calmed down.
"They want to test us." Kodan raised his sword and inspected the formation of the youths before he walked back and said.
Brando nodded and threw a red light at Kodan, "Catch!" The old swordsman was shocked and caught the red light. He opened his hand and saw a test tube with a seal on it. It was filled with a blood-red liquid that emitted a fluorescent light.
"Drink it."
"What is this?"
"Dragon Strength Potion," Brando replied.
Kodan picked up the bottle with his thumb and index finger and shook it. "I've used this before. It's only effective the first time, right?"
"You think that crappy stuff made from Dragon Blood Moss that you took is worthy of being called a Dragon Power Potion? It's more like the Bull Strength Potion. Drink it, I'll let you experience the true power of the Dragon Strength Potion. " Brando replied disdainfully. The bottle he threw at Kodan was made from real dragon blood. The material used was the pseudo dragon blood he bought from the Green Tower. Although it was not as good as real dragon blood, it was still better than the blood of the five-headed lizard.
Brendel used the Wyvern's blood to create a hundred high-grade potions. Other than the ones he gave to the youths, there were more than enough potions for each of his subordinates. It was a pity that the cards were not affected by external items, and he could not use any items or potions outside of the cards.
The Five-Headed Basilisk's blood could be used to concoct even more potions. Randolf planned to use some of them on the White Lion Legion in the future, and some on the Subterrane Dwellers to appease Tagiv and make it more loyal to him.
Kodan looked at the Dragon Blood Potion in his hand and doubtfully drank it. However, his expression immediately changed and he stared at Brando in disbelief.
"This … this is …"
Brando smiled and did not answer. He only looked at the frontline.
His subordinates gripped their spears tightly and nervously got into a defensive formation. Erouine's Knight group moved forward to the left of the frontline, while the Fireclaw Lizards moved to the right under Ropar's command.
"The left wing is ready!" The captain of the Knight reported to Count Audine.
Ropar put down his double-ended sword and also entered the frontline.
"My Lord!" Carglise and the leader of the first group, Janos, turned around at the same time.
Brendel looked at the two of them. Jainos was a boy with short greyish blonde hair. He was the leader of the first group and was the son of a cobbler. But now he had the aura of a soldier.
Brando pointed to his chest and nodded at them.
Janos immediately understood. He took a deep breath and turned around. However, he immediately heard someone say to him in a mocking tone, "Yo, the leathersmith's son also wants to fight alongside us?"
Janos turned around and saw a gray-haired young man wearing simple leather armor. He placed one hand on his waist and looked at him with a smile. He was the leader of the fourth group, a member of the manor called Roland.
If it were any other time, Janos would definitely retort, but now he was not in the mood. He looked at the approaching monsters and felt the tremors of the earth. He nervously gripped his sword.
Roland was rebuffed, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at the tide-like black wolves and sighed softly.
He came out to look for excitement, but the current situation seemed to be exciting enough.
He raised his hand and said, "Dragon Strength Potion!"
"Drink the Dragon Strength Potion!"
The group leaders ordered almost at the same time.
The high-grade Dragon Strength Potion had been given out long ago, but because it was more effective to take it before the battle, Brando asked the young men to wait until now to take it.
Thus, after receiving the order, the youths immediately took out the Dragon's Strength Potion and drank it all.
Under Kodan's, Brendel's, and Orthlyss's guidance, they had barely reached the level of Iron-ranked after a month. The effects of the Dragon's Strength potion on them were unimaginable. The youths felt as if they had just drunk a ball of fire, and their faces immediately turned red.
"Hiss, it's so hot …"
"It's so hot!"
"This, this feels so strange. It's as if my body is burning …"
They immediately started to make a fuss.
However, most of the young men who started to make a fuss were immediately pulled back by the group leaders. "Pay attention to your enemies, idiots!"
"Focus, don't be distracted!" The roars of the group leaders once again rose and fell on the battlefield.
Behind them, Brando nodded and threw a bottle to Count Audine on the other side. "Catch, Count Audine!"
"For me?" Audine stood on the other side, vigilantly watching the black wolves' every move. He was shocked by Brando's action.
In theory, they were still considered enemies.
He looked at Brando with some surprise.
Brando did not even turn his head. He just put down the Halran Gaia on his shoulder and raised it high in his direction.
"Count Audine!"
Count Audine was stunned.
"Do you still remember, on the ancient battlefield, the six dukes' horns sounded, and the swallow-tailed flag fluttered high —" Brando asked loudly.
The young lord's voice spread far and wide in the night sky.
"Do you still remember, where the longsword pointed, the glorious Knight welcomed the enemy with a song, and the enemy was defeated —"
Brando turned his head and smiled at him. "In the name of Erouine, in the name of the merciful lion —"
The count was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted. He pulled out his sword, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. "Swear by the sword!"
It was a chorus of echoes —
Audine turned his head in surprise and saw the Knight he brought with him pulling out their longswords and facing the endless black wolves in the forest.
Brando waved his sword and pointed forward. "Therefore, the descendant of the late King Erik, Erouine."
Brando leveled his longsword. "Kill all the enemies!"
The spears were leveled uniformly, and the tips of the blades were connected into a snow-silver parallel line.
In the forest, a howl came from afar.
The black wolves finally began to move —
The tide of monsters was like a rolling black carpet. Their scarlet eyes moved forward and then fell behind. The ground finally shook. They leaped out of the forest, and what they saw was a long wall formed by the human Knight.
More than a dozen wolves leaped to a higher place nearby. They raised their heads and let out a long howl. The howl was high at first, and then it became low.
Countless black wolves rushed up from both sides with their howls, like countless torrents rushing towards the humans.
Then, the black monster collided with the human in white armor.
The long spear pierced through one black wolf, two black wolves, and several black wolves together. Black blood flowed down the long spear shaft. The huge impact made the spear shaft creak as it couldn't bear the heavy burden. The young men and the knights were forced to step back.
Then there was a cracking sound, and the spears were broken.
"Sword!"
The young men immediately changed to their longswords.
The frontline was in chaos for a moment. Brando also put down his sword, and the green light net on his retina was weaving out pieces of numbers that flowed down like a waterfall.
It was EXP.
Although it was only one or two points, but in just a moment, the total amount of EXP increased by more than one or two hundred.
Brando took a breath, and then he took out a bottle of Dragon Blood Potion and drank it. The slippery Dragon Blood entered his mouth, and he immediately felt as if his body was burning — it was not burning, but there was a dry and dry feeling.
And just as this feeling was produced, the green light net on his retina immediately changed and weaved a few lines of small words:
Strength + 25, Dexterity + 10, Constitution + 20.
Potential 10%.
The [Advanced Dragon Strength Potion] increased his stats by about 20%, but this was because his level was higher. If his subordinates took the potion, the increase would be at least a few hundred percent.
Kodan's increase would be even lower, but for an Intermediate Gold rank, even a few percent increase would be very impressive.
As for potential, it was actually the potion that did not have any effect directly. The potion would remain in the body and slowly transform it, but most of it would be expelled through the circulatory system. However, if one consumed the potion and immediately consumed the remaining potency in battle, the benefits obtained would be much greater.
Therefore, Brando swung his wrist and looked at the endless black wolves in front of him. He thought that it was indeed time to farm some EXP.
Oh, no.
It was time for him to exercise his muscles and bones.
Brando looked forward and snapped his fingers: "Holy Sword, open the way —"
A pair of huge green transparent wings that almost spanned the entire battlefield opened behind him …
