It was hard to describe with words, but at that moment, the members of the Erouine Envoys under the fortress saw it for themselves.
Brando's casual swinging of the sword seemed to be subdivided into several parts, and each of them could be used as a textbook example of swordsmanship. At that moment, swordsmanship was no longer just a skill to kill, but an art that was pleasing to the eyes. Swordsmanship and the Law seemed to be the line of truth that came from the Flame King and the Dragon Clan's ancient swordsmanship.
The skills of the Flame King and the mysterious power of the Ancient Holy Sword merged into one at that moment.
The dazzling light of the sword rose from the ground, and behind that dazzling brilliance, there was an earth-shattering sound. The huge iron gate was split into four, and the impact caused the whole gate to sink inwards. Then, it fell apart and flew towards the barbican behind it. The aftermath of the sword aura blended into the walls on both sides, and a smooth cut grew on the black rock at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, the whole section of the wall began to collapse downwards. As the bricks and debris fell like rain, the Law of the Law that maintained the strength of the wall also appeared one by one in the air. These silver lines that represented the power of magic also melted as the sword aura advanced, as if they could not resist it at all.
In short.
The Knight's Gate of the Black Sword Fortress became history after this sword aura.
The refugees were tied to the wooden stakes on both sides of the road in the valley by the imperial soldiers, but suddenly, everyone's eyes were attracted to that direction. They saw the bright light of the sword rising from the valley, saw the dazzling light of the sword slashing diagonally into the towering Knight's Gate, and saw one-fifth of the fortress wall turned into ashes under the sword aura.
They saw a man and a sword standing in front of the Empire, as if he did not need anyone's orders. All the imperial soldiers who witnessed this scene dropped what they were doing. Those refugees who were supposed to be tied to the wooden stakes were also thrown aside. No one had the time to care about them, but these people did not seem to want to take the opportunity to escape.
The Ash Sword Saint?
The first thing the Kirrlutzians thought of was a famous name.
The Sword Saint Darius?
Erouine's people were the first to recall their widespread legends.
Everyone was stunned. Even the well-armored Knights on horseback were at a loss. It seemed like the fortress was under attack, but it was beyond their imagination. It was not their fault. The last time the stronghold was attacked was recorded in historical documents. It was so long ago that it was like a fairy tale.
Some people would have thought that this legendary event would happen again in their lifetime.
The small group of imperial soldiers outside the fortress froze in place as if they had been bewitched, but the nobles around Brando weren't any better.
Duke Viero's daughter, Miss Eugenie, had turned into a puppet. All her movements were frozen at the moment before Brando drew his sword. Even her eyeballs seemed to have lost their ability to move. She just stared at Brando, but it was hard to tell whether she was looking at a madman or an idiot.
Avram was scared out of his wits. The ball-shaped creature's mouth was wide open. Judging from the look of shock on his face, even if someone threw a pigeon egg into his mouth, he wouldn't notice.
"B-B-Count …" Miss Enid seemed to be so scared that even her voice was trembling.
Even Chiyara couldn't help but look at Brendel as if he was a monster, "You, you, do you know what you've done …."
Brando withdrew his sword and did not answer their questions. At this time, the door of Dilferi's carriage in the convoy behind opened a crack, and the little prince Haruz finally couldn't help but poke his head out and asked cautiously, "T-Teacher, Miss Dilferi asked you what happened?"
"Nothing." Brando replied.
"Nothing?!" Eugenie finally reacted. She seemed to have been greatly stimulated and almost jumped up without caring about noble etiquette. "Do you want to declare war on the Empire?!" The princess's words seemed to be stuck in her throat as she suddenly remembered something. She looked at Brendel with fear in her eyes: "Count … Count Trentheim … Count Trentheim … Count Trentheim …
My lord, don't tell me you really — "
But before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled back by Brendel, because a glaring sword light had appeared between the two of them. Brendel raised the Frost Chant and blocked the sudden longsword, and the sound of metal clashing against metal could be heard as the two swords clashed against each other. With the sword as the center, silver and golden lines extended at the same time.
The Lines of Law were like a curved shield, completely blocking the attack on the other side. The golden raindrops fell on Brando's silver net formed by the Lines of Law, but did not penetrate it at all.
Cruz finally reacted. This sudden attack was completely out of the duke's daughter's expectations. She was shocked and naturally swallowed the second half of her sentence.
Brando, on the other hand, understood the origin of his opponent in this short exchange.
Golden Sacred Flame.
His opponent was also an Elemental Rank.
But unfortunately, he was still far from being able to catch up to him.
The exchange of swords happened in an instant. Brando snorted slightly and swung his sword a second time in an instant, hitting the man's sword. The man immediately screamed, "Truth's …!" He flew back towards the city wall and crashed into the rubble that was filled with smoke and dust.
There was another Kirrlutz knight who was about to rush over from the direction of the collapsed walls, but when he saw Brendel's sword, his expression changed and he stopped in his tracks. He asked Brendel fearfully: "Who are you, and why are you attacking the Empire!" Brendel sheathed his sword and silently returned the Frost Chant to its slender scabbard.
This crystal scabbard was specially made by the wizards of Buga. Originally, Brando did not need it, but these craftsmen were all perfectionists. They loved this legendary sword so much that they could not bear to part with it. They could not wait to make a complete set of equipment, from the scabbard to the sword holder.
However, it was a pity that even the Silver Citizens were unable to repair this legendary holy sword.
Brando put the scabbard back in The Shire's hand, then picked up Halran Gaia and looked back at the Knight. The armor on his body was obviously not cheap. The accessories on the armor were basically made of pure gold or real mithril, not gilded fake. He also wore a Knight's badge, but like most people, he did not wear a Knight's badge.
He did not like to wear a helmet, revealing a head of light golden shoulder-length hair. He looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties.
Brando could tell at a glance the identity of this person. The Frontier Legion stationed at the Black Sword Fortress in this era should be the noble army from Rogeria. The commander of this army was Marquis Asova Bridgewell, and the legion had three Elemental Rank masters, Fire Wolf Ivan, Imperial Sword Rovak, and White Shadow Fanna. The person in front of him was Imperial Sword Rovak.
Rovak. Although Brando had not dealt with this person in his previous life, he knew that his Elemental Element was the rarer Water Element in Cruz. He was also good at Cruz's Knight and noble swordsmanship. He also mastered this Rogeria's secret swordsmanship, which was also an intermediate level swordsmanship. This person was good at swordsmanship, but he was very cautious and meticulous in his actions.
In fact, although there were many Elemental Awakeners in the Empire, they were not cabbages after all. Among them, most of the players in Cruz and the countries under the Holy Cathedral of Fire were still familiar with their names.
After Brando recognized this person, he could not help but look at him curiously. In his previous life, this person was a legendary figure among the Erouine players. Of course, this legend was not about how strong he was later, but because he was one of the six Elemental Awakeners stationed at the Erouine border of the Empire. It should be known that in this era of history, the entire Erouine Kingdom's Elemental Awakeners
Were only a few people? There were no more than ten people in the North and South. And these people, in the eyes of the Year of the Sword, who was just a newbie at that time, were all existences that he had to look up to.
But today, one of these legendary existences was casually sent flying by him. If he guessed correctly, the guy who controlled the Golden Sacred Flame Element should be the Fire Wolf Ai Fan. Then, the Imperial Sword Rovak was also frightened by the power of his sword and did not dare to make a move.
Brando looked at Rovak, who had a serious expression, and for a moment, he could not help but have such a strange thought in his mind.
After sighing, he shook his head and replied seriously, "Mr. Rovak, you should know who I am. As for why I am doing this, Mr. Rovak, you should understand. But then again, now that things have developed to this point, if I want you to persuade your Lord Marquis, let him bring people to welcome the Kirrlutz envoys into the fortress …. "
Do you think you can still do it? "
In contrast to Brando's understanding, Rovak was extraordinarily serious. His strength was on par with the Fire Wolf Ai Fan. Just now, when Brando counterattacked and sent Ai Fan flying with his sword, it revealed a certain meaning that made the alarm bells in his heart go off. That seemingly indestructible power of the Law was obviously on another level. That was the level of the Truth — the side of the Truth.
Rovak did not know that Brando actually borrowed a part of the power of the Frost Chant Cinna, and that his true strength was actually quite far away from the Elemental Truth. However, in this Imperial Knight's heart, he had already regarded Brando as his number one enemy.
He was stationed at the border between the Empire and Erouine, so he was not as well-informed about this ancient kingdom as the nobles of the Empire. Therefore, he did not know where the young man in front of him came from. He was inexplicably surprised. When did such a genius appear among the people of Erouine? It was as if he appeared out of thin air.
After listening to Brando's words, he was extremely regretful. Today, he and Ai Fan were on duty on the city wall, so naturally, he was aware of what happened below. However, he did not think that the people of Erouine's disrespect was a big deal. Before this, no one had raised any objections about it, whether it was the people of Cruz or the people of Erouine.
Everything was taken for granted. However, he never dreamed that things would develop to this point.
This guy actually split the Knight's Gate in half with his sword.
Rovak somewhat understood Brando's thoughts. If he was a Sacred Swordsman of the Elemental Truth level, he would also be furious when a mere Knight captain made things difficult for him. However, he could not help but feel like crying. Who would have thought that a Sacred Swordsman would suddenly appear among the people of Erouine? Furthermore, there was not even the slightest bit of news about this in the past few years.
It was as if a freak had suddenly appeared in this year.
Of course, Rovak did not expect that his thoughts were almost the truth. This world was just so crazy. He only moved his Adam's apple and replied with some difficulty, "I'm afraid that's not possible."
"That's why," Brando replied, "Our conversation is meaningless, Mr. Rovak. Since you can't do it, let me do it myself."
After saying that, he raised Halran Gaia and took a step forward.
"Your Excellency, you can't do that!" The Duke's daughter seemed to have just reacted. She was a little numb as she watched Brando severely injure an Imperial Swordsman in front of her. He also scared the other Imperial Swordsman to the point of stopping. Of course, she knew these two people, but she was more willing to admit her mistake because everything in front of her was just too crazy.
Even her voice was a little weak as she said, "We can't anger the people of Cruz anymore …"
"Your Excellency, are you going to declare war on the Empire?" Rovak was about to cry. He could not help but wonder if this person in front of him was a lunatic. Even if he was a Sacred Swordsman, how could he do such a crazy thing? For a moment, he vaguely felt that he saw the shadow of another person in Brando. In the hearts of the people of Cruz, that person was also a complete madman.
A complete madman.
That person's name was Mephisto.
"Declaration of war?" Brando was a little amused. He glanced at Rovak, then at Eugenie, and replied, "Miss Eugenie, we are also believers of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. We are responding to the call of the Holy Cathedral to participate in a holy war. But here, we are being unreasonably humiliated by a group of ignorant people. Therefore, it is hard for me not to suspect that these people are trying to deny the legitimacy and God of this war.
Saint, now I intend to correct their point of view. Not only is it not to declare war on the Empire, but it is to eliminate some stubborn people for the Holy Cathedral. Therefore, contrary to what you think, I am doing this to show the firm and loyal position of the people of Erouine. Not only will they not be condemned, I think they should be rewarded for this. "
Eugenie looked at him, dumbfounded.
This was clearly the logic of a bandit.
But she opened her mouth and suddenly understood what Brando meant. If they inexplicably attacked one of the Empire's fortresses, it would naturally be taken as a declaration of war. But according to what he said, it would be a different situation.
The key point was, at this juncture of the Holy War, would the Holy Cathedral of Fire push Erouine out? Would the Silver Queen suddenly let her South become the most unstable factor in the war?
The answer was obvious.
She suddenly remembered what Brando had said to them before. A big country had its strength, a small country had its wisdom, and Erouine also had its own advantages. Indeed, compared to the gains and losses of the entire Holy War, why would the Holy Cathedral of Fire and His Majesty the Emperor be entangled in these details of dignity and face? Chiara obviously understood this at this moment.
Understanding Brando's meaning, the little girl snorted softly, "You're thinking too much. Be careful not to get burned by playing with fire."
Brando shook his head gently. He was indeed playing with fire, but it was just that he had to play with it.
He looked up and waited for Rovak's reply.
Rovak's face had already become extremely ugly. He was not stupid and naturally understood the meaning of Brando's words. But he took a light breath and the pride of being an Imperial citizen finally prevailed. "You are very strong, Count Rovak, but do you intend to challenge an Imperial army alone? I can tell you categorically, Monsieur le Count, that is impossible, and I
No matter what His Majesty the Emperor's final answer, I am here to tell you, with the glory of the Cruz Army, that we will never let you take half a step into this fortress! "
"If you insist on going to war with us," Rovak shouted, "Cruz Knight, prepare for battle!"
Brando only heard a soft whoosh and subconsciously looked up. He saw that the gryphon cages on the city walls had been opened one after another. Dozens of gryphons flew out of the city walls in an instant. These birds of prey in the air screeched and spread their wings, for a moment there was an illusion that they covered the sky.
"The Imperial Army — —!"
Someone in the valley shouted in a shrill voice.
The scene in front of him was exactly the same as what he had seen in the Holy War ten years later. The prosperity of the Empire was built on the pride of its citizens. This glorious and glorious army was enough to shock anyone who saw it for the first time.
But unfortunately — — Brando looked at the white birds of prey that flew out of the city walls. He placed one hand on the scabbard of Halran Gaia and the other hand gently pulled out the dark blade of the sacred sword — — he had already seen this scene before.
He casually threw the scabbard behind him and raised Halran Gaia in front of him. "There is something I have to tell you — —"
"My army has never been alone."
As if to prove this sentence, countless black dots rose from the mountains.
