When the three of them came out of the cell, they saw Brando easily taking care of the three patrolling guards. The whole process was done silently and skillfully. Freya suspected that Brando had undergone special training in the past, but why would a Highland Knight need such training?
The dungeon under the barracks did not have many prisoners, and the security was very lax. Fortress Riedon had a dungeon that was used to lock up criminals, but the dungeon here was mainly used to lock up deserters and robbers. However, the military would usually execute these people on the spot, so the dungeon had not been used many times since it was built, and the wardens were only there to deal with it.
However, the dungeon in the game was used to lock up players, and it was completely different from the dungeon here, it was overcrowded. If the White-Mane army had any other enemies in the game other than Madara, it would definitely be this dungeon.
After taking care of the patrolling guards, the four of them went to the center of the dungeon. The guard who was in charge of the keys was shocked when he saw the four of them coming out from the darkness, and subconsciously pulled out his sword from the wall.
However, Brando immediately raised his protective gloves and blocked the guard's sword with a layer of blue light. The blue light was about the size of a soccer ball, and there seemed to be a force pushing the sharp sword away.
The White-Mane Light Infantry was shocked, and the sword in his hand was taken away by Brando. Then, the young man pushed him away, causing him to hit the wall, and he fainted with a groan. But to Brendel, they were just ordinary soldiers. He had the ability to kill them, but he did not kill them. He only knocked them out with one move.
Freya saw that he had defeated the last enemy and could not help but say: "You are so powerful, Brando. If it wasn't for this trip, I would still be at the bottom of a well."
"You are not bad, don't belittle yourself. White Swordsman is at the middle of the pack, you are more than qualified to enter the garrison. "Brando found the key to the next floor from the guard and replied.
"Swordsman Bai?"
The Shire explained, "For a swordsman, Iron, Silver, and Gold ranks correspond to the titles of a Knight's Squire, Official Knight, and Superior Knight. As for an Iron swordsman, Erouine calls them Knight's Reserve. If a nobleman has the slightest potential, he or she will be sent to a great noble family to become a squire."
"According to tradition, a swordsman of this rank has the right to not take off his hat when he sees a squire or a lord. However, this tradition was almost abandoned half a century ago. Below Black Iron Swordsman, there was no position. Generally speaking, the strength of your garrison and militia are all at this stage, but there are some differences. "
"I see." Freya was enlightened. Previously, her vision was still constrained by the number one swordsman in the militia, but now it was broadened.
But Ciel wasn't done yet. He seemed to have seen through his lord's intention to nurture this girl, so he continued, "A Black Iron Swordsman represents the first level of strength (3-20 'OZ'), a Silver Swordsman represents the second level of strength (20-100 'OZ'), and a Gold Swordsman represents the third level of strength (100-500 'OZ'). We wizards correspond to intermediate wizards, first circle wizards, and second circle wizards. Priests and other professions also have similar divisions. In fact, this division isn't based on a country or a family, but is strictly set by the Holy Cathedral of Fire."
Freya and Roman could not help but blink. They did not know that there was so much logic behind this. However, these things weren't rare knowledge among the commoners, it was just that Bucce was too secluded.
"You must know that in those powerful empires, such as Gruse and Banco, the soldiers of the standing army are at least Black Iron, and the captains are almost all Silver Swordsman. But in Erouine, even the frontline soldiers of the border army are not at the level of Black Iron Swordsman, and even the captains of the Knight are only at the level of Black Iron. "The Shire pointed out.
"The Shire, if word of this gets out, we will be beheaded."
"My Lord, you are not afraid of being beheaded, so I, as a squire, am naturally not afraid." The young man cleverly replied, and he continued, "My Lord should be at the level of Black Iron Swordsman, which is very rare for my Lord's age. The Shire is very honored to be able to follow such an outstanding person. "
Brando thought to himself, Not to mention the Reverend and the Chosen One, even those who were born with the talent of a Knight were nothing. If his achievement was combined with the fact that he completed it in a few days, it would seem strange, but The Shire did not know this. However, it was still quite satisfying to have someone flatter him, and he was too lazy to expose them.
Anyway, Roman and Freya's slightly surprised gazes made him feel quite proud, right?
The Shire looked at the unconscious soldier on the ground, and asked in a low voice, "There seem to be other prisoners in the 5th, 17th, and 22nd cells. Should we release them to help us escape, my Lord? If it's a military camp outside, the more people there are, the higher the chance of success. "
Freya immediately glared at this guy, what kind of rotten idea was this? Didn't Brando say that the prisoners here were those who had committed the most heinous crimes?
"There's no need for that. Too many people will only affect my plans." Brendel replied confidently.
"As you wish."
Brando turned his head again, "Roman, do you know where your aunt is?"
Roman shook his head, "I don't know, but I heard that she will be staying at a cousin's house?"
"Where does that cousin live?"
"I know, in the Ponoan market. I heard from my aunt that the person seems to be a distant relative of Roman's aunt, a small woolen merchant called Hood. "Freya replied.
Brando looked at Roman, "Your family has a merchant's tradition."
The merchant girl smiled sweetly in return.
Since they had determined the place to go, the next step was easy. The first floor of the dungeon under the military camp was smaller, and there was only one warden. Brando confirmed that the four wardens on the next floor were temporarily added because of them. After dealing with this floor, they continued to go up and arrived at the interior of the military camp.
Brando was very familiar with this place. First, he took Freya's Half Plate of the Wind Empress from the temporary storage, then he looted a sword from each of the prisoners and equipped them. It was a pity that there was no experience in knocking out the soldiers, otherwise Brando wouldn't mind waking them up and knocking them out a few more times.
The Shire had suggested more than once to stir up the prisoners so that they could escape during the riot. The reason was simple, it would be easy for them to deal with one or two White-Mane Light Infantry. But once they reached the courtyard outside, it would be difficult for the four of them to kill their way out.
But Brando vetoed the idea.
While they were talking, they had already sneaked into the top floor of the military camp. Brando opened the wooden door on the top floor of the tower and walked out. Outside was an open-air walkway with parapets on both sides for temporary defense. Brando didn't need to look to know that it was a tributary of the Song River in the city. From here, he could see about one-fifth of the city.
But he wasn't here to look at the scenery. Along the way, they had knocked out seven of the guards. According to the White-Mane army's training, they would realize that something was amiss in about ten minutes. Brando looked up at the sky. The moon was beautiful tonight, and even the thick clouds couldn't hide the silver disc in the night sky.
"What are you doing, Brando?" Freya couldn't help but poke him from behind. She couldn't help but think that this guy didn't break out of prison just to see the moon. Although it was unlikely, but according to this guy's misdeeds, it wasn't impossible.
She then looked at The Shire. The young man was also looking at the sky with his hands behind his back, not saying a word. The master and servant had a tacit understanding.
"The moon is beautiful tonight." Brando casually replied.
"You —" Freya was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She really wanted to punch this guy's face and see if he could still smile.
"My aunt said that the moon's name is Luca. Luca was born because of Elaine. Elaine was Alice's sister — a twin goddess. Because of the moon, there are mysteries in this world. "Roman looked up at the moon and said.
"Your aunt knows a lot," The Shire replied. "This is a secret passed down among the wizards in this world. There is a book called 'The Epic of Darkness', and it describes the events that happened in the past."
"You mean that Roman's aunt is a wizard?" Freya was stunned.
"Not necessarily, she is related to magic. Some of the witches in the countryside also know about this. "The Shire replied.
The girl with a long ponytail couldn't help but look at Roman, who was staring at the moon as if he didn't hear these words. But Freya thought that Aunt Jenny was indeed a bit mysterious. She often brought back strange things from the outside. The villagers all said that she was a witch and didn't have much contact with her family.
But as Brendel listened to the three of them, a strange thought appeared in his mind: "That's right."
XVI: THE TOWER.
The lost 'moon' took away the light.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was hallucinating. He quickly shook his head, but he couldn't help but think of the dream he had when he was unconscious that night.
In a quiet and dark environment, everything in the dream seemed bizarre and variegated. However, there was only a black moon, a dark lake, and a tall tower that stood quietly in the middle of it all throughout the dream.
After that, he met Freya. But just as he thought of this, he heard the merchant girl staring at the moon and saying, "Something is coming, Brando."
The rest of the three people raised their heads.
After waiting for about twenty seconds, everyone present heard the low sound of flapping wings from the sky. But Freya was confused and uneasy, while Brando and The Shire didn't panic, especially Brando. He raised his head.
The next moment, the Gargoyle opened its wings and jumped out from the clouds under the moonlight. The winged Stone Demon in the bright moonlight, above the clouds, formed a mysterious composition in the eyes of the three people.
"Brando, that's your Gargoyle!" Roman recognized it immediately.
"Yes, are you afraid of heights?"
Romaine quickly shook her head.
"You, what do you want, Brando?" Freya thought of something and her face turned pale.
… …
When the Golden Apple Lord barged into Burnley's house with a gloomy face, the honorary aristocrat, who claimed to be a big workshop owner and an industrialist, was looking at an exquisite brass armor with a magnifying glass. After all, an armor of the Year of Glory style was priceless in the hands of any collector.
Burnley slowly kept the magnifying glass in his hand and looked at his companion. He teased, "What's wrong, did that guy bring people out of the city?"
"It's not that serious, it's just that the prisoners escaped tonight!" Esebar couldn't help but get angry when he mentioned this. Actually, he wasn't angry about this, he was angry about the madman who came to his house and shouted at him.
"That's just a small matter, how did they escape?"
"That's not what I'm angry about." The Golden Apple Lord shook his head and took a deep breath: "What I'm angry about is that the 'Tiger' Luc Beson of the White-Mane army came to me and said that I locked up a descendant of a Highland Knight in his dungeon and that I was trying to cause trouble for him!"
"A Highland Knight?" Burnley was stunned.
"Yes, he said that one of the three prisoners was a Highland Knight. Also, his mage squire was with him. Oh my god, he actually came to me to ask for that person. He said that I can't touch that person and that he must get him into his group. "The Golden Apple Lord was furious at the mention of this.
"And the result?"
"The result, the result is that I have to bring people to settle this matter. It's the middle of the night, that guy is too much!" He replied in a bad mood.
"Don't be impulsive, let Grantham handle this matter. I'll get some people from my private army to help you. "Burnley replied with a smile.
The Golden Apple Lord looked at him gratefully. For the first time, he didn't feel that the round face was so annoying. But he thought for a while and reminded, "Actually, I'm here for another matter. I heard that you recently shipped a batch of armor into the city? You have to be careful. Although it's not a big deal to cultivate your own forces, you have to be careful not to let others use it against you. "
He couldn't help but look into the house.
"It's just a hobby." The businessman replied with a smile.
… …
(PS. Strange, why do I feel like my results are so bad?)
