In the whole of Wohnde, there were a lot of famous legendary figures that the players were familiar with. Some of them were famous Sword Saints, such as Veronica, who was known as the Goddess of War, or Darius, the Earth Sword Saint who could split a mountain with his sword. Even Buga, who was unknown in this era, would become a famous Sword Master in the future.
There were also legendary wizards, such as Tulman of the Silver Castle, William of the Scroll King, Keira the Iron Smelter.
There were also talented generals, such as Black Lord Incirsta, Falcon Nicholas, Long Blade Lord Harrison, and Valkyrie Freya.
But among these people, none of them were as respected as Greysword Saint-mephistopheles.
There was no other reason.
As the only person in Wohnde who dared to declare war on an entire empire, this courage alone was enough to win the hearts of everyone.
Brando remembered that it was almost 30 years ago. At that time, the insufferably arrogant Cruz completely destroyed the resistance of a small country called the Duchy of Sutherland after a series of victories. As usual, this small country on the border was incorporated into the territory of the Empire.
In the history of Cruz's thousand years of war, this was just a small point that should have been unremarkable.
But this time, the Eagle Empire encountered an enemy that gave them a headache.
In the Whistling Year, Greysword Saint-mephistopheles appeared in the vision of Cruz. The first time he appeared was during the battle of Cruz's Royal City, where he single-handedly tried to assassinate the Emperor of the Empire.
Of course, he didn't succeed.
But in this battle, Mephistopheles single-handedly destroyed an entire battalion of Cruz's Royal Guards, a battalion of the Border Guards, and two squadrons of the Royal City Guards.
Three Viscounts, one Earl, more than 20 Lieutenants, and three times the number of reserve officers of the Empire's Officer Academy died in the hands of this Ash Sword Saint.
If the loss of three viscounts and one count was only a humiliation to the empire, then the loss of the two companies of reserve officers truly infuriated the sovereign of the empire at that time.
The reserve officers of the King's City Garrison Guard were undoubtedly the elites of the Empire. They were the future pillars of the Empire. Who would've thought that two squadrons of them would be wiped out by Mephisto? Even for someone as wealthy as Cruz, he would feel the pinch.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
In a fit of rage, the Empire sent out the most powerful capture team in history. The commanders of the four major armies, the president of the Imperial Alchemist Association, and even three Imperial Sorcerers from the Tower of Stars and Moon.
As for how strong this formation was, one only needed to know that Veronica, the leader of Azure Firmament, was the most junior member of the team. One could imagine what kind of old monsters this team was made up of.
However, it was this formation that allowed Mephisto to escape with serious injuries.
This incident not only made the Kirrlutzians lose face, it could be said that it was a slap in the face of the Kirrlutzians who had been insufferably arrogant for centuries, but it also set off a brazen wave in all of Vaunte.
After that, the Temple of the Wind Empress and the Templar Church tried to find Mephistopheles, trying to use his hatred for Kirrlutz to make him join their forces. Unfortunately, since then, this guy seemed to have disappeared and no one had seen him again.
There were rumors that he died from his injuries. Of course, Brando knew that this was just a joke. After all, Mephisto had a rather important quest line. The players of The Amber Sword couldn't be more familiar with this pervert.
What Brando didn't expect was that this guy would appear here in advance.
The next time he appeared in history was almost five years later!
Therefore, the moment he saw Mephisto, there was only one thought in his mind: Is the Lionheart so attractive that even this old pervert is here?!
Brando stared at the man in front of him with his mouth agape. He felt that if he could stare at the man in front of him, he would have done so long ago.
At this moment, Mephisto was wearing a gray robe with a cloak and a sword on his back. Of course, the most distinguishing feature of his was his long gray hair and gray eyes.
It could be said that there was no other human in the world with such unique hair and eye color.
This was because Mephisto's hair and eye color were affected by his Element. Greysword Saint-mephisstopheles' Element was the Song of Grey. It was a strange Element, but if you really fought him, you wouldn't think so.
In the past, Brando had only fought Mephisto once. That was when he completed the Black Iron Body Quest. The goal of the quest was simple — to last ten seconds under Mephisto's attacks.
Brando remembered that during his first quest, he had used all the buffs he could drink and eat. Then, he was instantly sent back to the Resurrection Altar in three moves.
This wasn't because of level suppression. To be honest, Mephisto was only level 70 or 80 at his peak, but his swordsmanship was terrifying.
The Sword Saint of Grey was only a title of Mephisto's, but in reality, many players believed that Mephisto was the only NPC who had trained his basic swordsmanship to level 25 and above.
Although this rumor wasn't credible, it was enough to show that this guy's swordsmanship was terrifying. It was even beyond the limits of strength.
Brando looked at Mephisto, his mind racing. Although he didn't know much about Mephisto's personality, he knew that this guy was definitely not someone with a good temper. Just look at the things he did.
Was this person standing in front of them an enemy? Or a friend? It was hard to say.
But what made him frown was that Mephisto had a good impression of Erouine in history. He also didn't have any entanglements with the Druids. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be an enemy.
But he wasn't an enemy.
Brando looked at Greysword Saint-Meiphistopheles who was standing in the middle of their path. He felt that his reasoning was somewhat unreliable.
But at least he knew that in front of such a powerful existence, his judgment didn't have much meaning. It all depended on the other party's mood. Therefore, Brando didn't say anything and didn't do anything to avoid angering this guy. He just raised his head and looked at the other party.
The scene was silent for a few seconds.
While Brando was sizing up Mephisto, the Sword Saint was also sizing them up. His eyes first swept over the few remaining Erouine nobles, then fell on Brando.
"Cruz people?"
Mephisto stretched out his hand, and the greatsword on his back flew out and landed in his hand. Then he pointed the tip of the sword at Brando and asked.
Brando was startled.
He looked at Mephisto dumbfoundedly. At that moment, it was as if he heard the sound of heaven and earth shattering. Brando only felt cold sweat on his back.
What kind of joke is this?
Holy shit, Brendel thought to himself. Kirrlutz? I'm a popular Tauren.
But if this guy thinks I'm a Cruz person, according to the other party's habits, I'll be cut in half immediately.
Of course, Brando didn't want to die without knowing why, so he quickly shook his head. "No, no," he replied, "Sir, I think you've got the wrong person. I'm a Erouine person."
"Erouine person?" Mephisto looked at Brando and replied, "It looks like it, but Erouine people don't know the tactics of the Falling Frost Army. Tell me, are you a member of the Falling Frost Army?"
Brando realized that it was his tactic of letting the Centaurs use the Falling Frost Army to fight against the Winter Wolves that attracted this monster. At this moment, he felt even more wronged than Dou E. In the past, not to mention the players of Erouine, even the players of Madara knew this tactic.
It was nothing more than a test of experience. There was nothing technical about it. As long as one looked at a video on the Internet, it would be clear at a glance.
But there was no way to explain this, so Brando could only think of a way to quibble, "Sir, there are many people who know that tactic. After all, tactics are dead, but people are alive. It's not only Erouine people who know how to deal with the Winter Wolves, right?"
Brando felt that although his excuse was clumsy, there were no loopholes. The truth was that even in this world, there were many people who knew the tactics of the Falling Frost Army. This was not a secret to begin with. For example, Count Audine knew it.
But he did not expect Mephisto to not be swayed at all. On the contrary, the Sword Saint smiled slightly with an expression that said, "Everything is under my control, don't try to quibble."
Then he looked at Brando and said, "Indeed, it's possible to use this tactic more skillfully than the commander of the Falling Frost Army. Young man, you're the first person I've seen who can use this tactic."
"As far as I know," he said again, "it seems that other than Cruz, Erouine doesn't suffer from the Winter Wolves, right?"
Huh?
At that moment, Brando felt as if a bolt from the blue had struck his head. There was only one voice echoing in his heart: Natural idiocy is the cause of death!
"I'm innocent!" Brando felt like crying at this moment. He did not expect that the tactic that he had repeatedly practiced in the game to deal with the Winter Wolves in order to gain experience would be fatal at this moment.
But it seemed that this was the truth. According to Mephisto's way of understanding, Brando soon realized that he really did not have a way to explain it clearly.
Indeed, how could he explain the fact that a person from Erouine could use the tactic so skillfully against the Winter Wolves?
Not to mention that this was something that did not make sense in itself.
More importantly, even if a person from Erouine wanted to practice, as Mephisto said, he had to have a place to practice, right?
Brando could not help but rub his hands together. His expression suddenly became a little strange. In fact, he had always thought that his experience was a great cheat, but he did not expect that one day this cheat would finally bring him great trouble.
Lady Martha, do you have to be like this? You're not playing with me, right?
The young lord looked at Mephistopheles with a strange expression on his face and sighed miserably in his heart: "I'm telling the truth, Mephistopheles, boss Mephistopheles, can you not be like this, I can explain!"
