Outside the south gate of the port of Ampere Seale, a gentle slope extended along the foothills of the Marchenko Mountain, and the black mixed forest came into Brando's sight. The young people of the Royal Knight Academy couldn't help but cheer in unison. Although the crisis was far from over, being one step closer to freedom still made everyone feel refreshed.
"We're finally out." Brando breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, hiding in the forest was much easier than fighting in the streets. Especially in Erouine, the port of Ampere Seale was one of the most heavily infiltrated areas of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. Fighting in someone else's home ground always gave people a sense of oppression.
The addition of Count Audine gave him a big surprise. After asking, he found out that the other party had already met with Oberwei and made a plan. At that time, if the princess and her party had chosen to go north, then he would have led the troops to the port north of Vlada-Pace to meet them. But if they had chosen to go south like now, the troops that had been lurking here earlier would have become a clever hidden chess piece.
Audine also brought a Druid Master named Wochik. Brando recognized this person. This Great Druid was a herbalist who lived in seclusion in the Marchenko Mountain near Ampere Seale. He specialized in teaching players master-level herbalism recipes. However, Brando was not interested in herbalism. He was interested in the information itself. This Great Druid was not a good friend of Audine, but was invited by Master Anderson of the Loop of Trade Winds through a letter. Druids were neutral in "The Amber Sword" and rarely intervened in foreign affairs, just like how the Great Elder only agreed to participate in the defense of Valhalla.
Now that Anderson took the initiative to write a letter to intervene in Erouine's internal strife, it was unknown whether it was his own idea or the Great Elder's idea. However, the latter was very likely. This meant that the Loop of the World might have known of his existence and recognized his actions to a certain extent.
This was a huge piece of good news. Brando was different from the average person. Most people thought that the Druids were scattered and gathered in the forest on the border, communicating with each other through the trade winds. They were both marginal and powerful — as long as you didn't provoke them. However, Brando was clear about the existence of the Loop of the World and the Druid Circle Council. With their approval, many things would be much more convenient in the future.
However, the future was the future, and there were still huge difficulties to be solved now. After a few words of greeting, Brando didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately ordered the young people of the Royal Knight Academy to disperse into the Frada Forest. He looked at the Southern army's's army. The Dragon Cavalry's's of the Black Blade Squad had apparently discovered their presence.. and's's's's... and the Black, the Black blade Squad.... and's's's'......
... But the archs.... and Archarchers''s's, was...... but's..... but, and. The best way to deal with flying units in The Amber Sword was to wait until the opponent entered the diving phase before attacking. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of energy.
"Tell them to stop attacking!" Brando immediately shouted to Count Audine, "Bring them into the forest."
Count Audine also understood that his soldiers lacked experience. He was afraid that they would fall apart if the Dragon Cavalry charged at them. He nodded and immediately urged his private soldiers to move closer to the Frada Forest.
. Carlo, Bretton, and Moke were leading the team. Noticing the situation behind them, the leader of the Erouine trio pulled the reins and stopped. He turned back and shouted, "Mr. Brando, the Royal Knight Academy also has archery training! Ask Count Audine to give us the bows and arrows. We can stay and cover the retreat! "
"There's no need for that. Protect the princess well." Brendel replied. He looked up at the flies above his head. Without any hesitation, he directed the Wind Spirit Spiders that were hiding in the air to aim in that direction. Previously, when he activated the Holy Sword to 'kill' Baron Rodu's knights in the battle at the port of Ampere Seale, he had only used the energy in twenty to thirty Holy Swords. He did not use most of the Holy Sword Technique during that round, and now it came in handy.
Everyone saw Brando standing alone with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, a brilliant net of death appeared in the air. Two to three Dragon Knight were caught off guard and crashed into it. They turned into ashes in the air. The rest of the Dragon Cavalry were frightened. They quickly flew higher, but even so, two of them had their wings and tails cut off by the golden-red beam of light. They fell from the sky.
Brendel ordered the Wind Spirit Spiders to raise their shooting range even higher, and then activated another twenty to thirty Holy Swords. This time, the attack was even more accurate than before, and it was like a golden-red longsword piercing through the Dragon Cavalry's formation. Six or seven Dragon Cavalry soldiers did not even have time to react before they were turned into ashes.
The Dragon Cavalry soldiers of the Black Blade Squad were scared out of their wits. They did not dare to come any closer. Dozens of Dragon Cavalry circled in the air and ran away. However, Brando did not intend to let them go. He ordered the Wind Spirit Spiders to chase after them until there were only three or four of them left.
What a bunch of clowns. Brando could not help but shake his head. To be honest, he would not be afraid of these flies even if he did not have the Holy Swords. Erouine's Dragon Cavalry was considered a light air unit in Wohnde's air force. The light air force was usually used as a scouting unit. Even so, the Dragon Cavalry still had many limitations. Their ability to fight on the ground was also very worrisome. They also lacked the ability to fly in the canopy. To be honest, they were one of the worst air forces in Wohnde, second only to the goblins.
He did not know where the Dragon Cavalry got the courage to attack. Did they really think that they were nobles' private soldiers? They did not even think about who had just defeated the White Lion Legion.
He turned his head around. The private soldiers and officers who were entering the Frada Forest were all silent. The scene just now was too exciting. A young and brave wizard challenging an army of 'demon kings' alone. This was a scene that only happened in bedtime stories. Erouine's soldiers were naturally ignorant and inexperienced. They could not help but burst into cheers.
"Mr. Brando, isn't he the descendant of Lord Darius? How does he know magic? "Princess Gryphine could not help but ask in confusion.
"I've seen him use magic," the wolf knight shrugged, "and he seems to know alchemy too. He's really versatile. However, we lack his previous 20 years of experience. Lord Swordmaster Darius lived in seclusion and was no different from a commoner. The royal family would not investigate a commoner, nor would they be able to. "
Everyone could not help but look at the young wizard on the side. The Shire quickly shook his head, "Ah, don't look at me. Actually, I met Lord Darius quite late. At least later than Miss Freya, but Lord Darius said that he was once a wizard's disciple, so there's nothing strange about it … "
Everyone could not help but reveal a look of understanding. However, they did not notice that Maynild frowned slightly. The female Knight glanced at The Shire and did not seem to believe him.
Although the attack of the dragon cavalry was repelled, it also confirmed Brando's previous concerns. He let his men disperse and enter the forest. In fact, he had this thought from the beginning. The dragon cavalry's ability to fly at low altitudes was very poor. It was difficult to find units hidden in the forest with the naked eye. Although it was not enough to completely shake off the enemy, it was at least much better than gathering together and being harassed by the enemy to the point where they could not move forward.
Sure enough, once the young men of the Royal Knight Academy and Count Audine's private soldiers scattered into the forest, the dragon cavalry circling in the sky lost their target. They wanted to get closer to investigate, but they were immediately met with a counterattack from Brando's Holy Sword. They had no choice but to follow from a distance so as not to lose sight of the princess's target.
This followed for three to four hours. After Brando finally repelled a low-altitude attack from the dragon cavalry, he stood beside a black pine tree and observed for a moment through the layers of treetops. After confirming that the other party had flown out of his attack range, he turned back. Almost everyone's eyes fell on him. The princess was fine. She sat quietly on a bluestone hugging her knees and was a little absent-minded. However, the eyes of the other young men were full of reverence. After experiencing the battle with the dragon cavalry, he had completely established his prestige, even in the eyes of the noble's private soldiers.
However, Brando was well aware that the reason he could gain the recognition of these arrogant young men of the Royal Knight Academy was probably more because of his identity as the descendant of the Sacred Swordsman Darius. But to be honest, he did not really want this identity. It was not that he was a masochist who wanted to be a commoner, but because he already knew that the Sacred Swordsman Darius might have been tried by the Holy Cathedral for some reason.
Brando also knew about the Holy Cathedral's trial. Most people would be skinned even if they did not die. However, his grandfather was safe in the end. It was probably because he had reached some kind of agreement with the Holy Cathedral. The Holy Cathedral might have done this to cover up the secret of the past. Of course, this was not important to Brando. What was important was that he, the descendant of the Sacred Swordsman Darius, was now swaggering in front of the public. Once the Holy Cathedral knew the truth, it was likely that they would come looking for trouble.
At the thought of this, he could not help but have a headache. It was not easy for him to have a more prominent identity, and he did not have to deal with a lot of trouble before he could enjoy the benefits. Not only this, but the inheritance of the Dark Dragon was also the same. In fact, it was even more ridiculous. Not everyone in this world was like Orthlyss, who had experienced thousands of years and had a clear vision. It was even more likely that he would be hated by everyone.
But now was not the time to worry about these things. Brando looked up, shook his head, and sighed. "The other party is very smart."
"No way," Enrique, the one with the best ending among Erouine's future three heroes, immediately replied with a smile. "I think Sir can deal with them effortlessly. The dignified Wyvern Knight Squad of the Black Blade Squad can't do anything to us. When we enter the Southern Territory, we will be free to fly —"
Brando looked at this guy as if he was looking at an idiot. He wondered if this guy was really one of the three heroes and if he had made a mistake. Could it be that the heavens were jealous of talents, so idiots lived longer?
Before he could finish his thoughts, Rouka patted Enrique's head. The leader of the three heroes quietly replied, "That's why I told you not to be distracted in class. Sir said that the Wyvern Knight Squad has other plans. Don't forget that the Black Blade Squad is still chasing after us. "
"Oh, I understand now!" Enrique immediately reacted. "These guys want to delay us. They are really cunning. They did not hesitate to send their elites to their deaths."
"Even if they are not elites, they can't delay us." Mok snorted confidently. However, when he met Brando's smiling gaze, he could not help but blush and turn his head away.
This detail naturally did not escape Enrique's observation. He immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Squire, I admire your wisdom."
The future leader of the Royal Knight Squad of the Kingdom, the white-haired Mr. Mok, who lost his bet with Brando and became his squire, was suddenly speechless.
Brando looked at Enrique, the guy who wanted to see the world in chaos, and could not help but shake his head. This guy could not be Carglise's long-lost brother, right?
"So what should we do?" Freya was the most serious among them. She looked at the map spread out on the ground and could not help but frown. "Brando, you have a plan, right?"
There was indeed a plan.
They definitely could not run forever. The key was to choose a suitable battlefield. The Black Blade Squad used to be the Imperial Guard. In Brando's era, even after being weakened, they still had close to 50,000 people. In this era, the Black Blade Squad was stronger than the Southern Legion. The Southern Legion had a regular strength of 70,000 people, so the Black Blade Squad might have 100,000 people.
Therefore, mobilizing tens of thousands of people to appear on the battlefield of Ampere Seale should not be too much of a problem. Coupled with the remnants of the White Lion Legion and various local troops, the military strength of the enemy was unbelievably huge.
Adding up Austin's troops and the remnants of Danos's Southern Legion's Dragon Cavalry, they did not have more than 4,000 people at most. The disparity in strength between them and the enemy was a little ridiculous. Therefore, he had to choose a special battlefield that was conducive to defense and where the enemy could not spread out.
Fortunately, this was the Marchenko Mountains. In front of them was the Fama Mountains (2). These two mountains were the northern branches of the Arreck Mountains. In the game, they were about level 25-30 areas. Brando was quite familiar with this area. Soon, the name of the place appeared in his mind.
He was about to speak, but it was at this moment that he felt something warm in his pocket. Brando hurriedly took it out. It was a black pearl.
Brando immediately raised his eyebrows. A guest had arrived. This was truly an unexpected surprise.

Noun Explanation:
(1) In the literature records about Erouine, the Arreck Mountains were actually a geographical category that included many branches of the Arreck Mountains. The Marchenko Mountains were located at the northernmost part of the northern branch of the Arreck Mountains. It was the general name of the mountains surrounding the port of Ampere Seale to the south.
(2) Fama Mountains, east and south of the Marchenko Mountains. It was the landmark where Ampere Seale entered the Arreck Mountains. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
