Scene 35 Valkyrie and Brando
Scene 35 Valkyrie and Brando
Brando looked at Freya's silence, knowing that she might not be able to figure out the joints for a while. This is also normal. After all, this country girl has never been exposed to the complicated and outdated business behind the scenes among these nobles.
But to put it bluntly, it is actually very simple, it is nothing more than a benefit.
So he simply opened the topic and said frankly: "I know it's hard for you to accept this. But that's the fact. Even if we just do this, it's not enough because to put it bluntly, we are just a chess piece in the hands of the nobles. They only care about what will happen to this chess piece." It will not have any effect, and it will not care about the life and death of the chess piece itself."
Freya was startled and raised her head to look at him again.
Madden frowned and sighed. What Brando said undoubtedly confirmed what he had seen in the past few days. The nobles unanimously said that they would be rewarded immediately, and everyone was very enthusiastic, but to put it bluntly, it was to achieve the other party's goal. What will they get in the end? It may be a promotion for one or two people, a small reward or even just honor.
But the things he mentioned several times about the homeless villagers in Butchi always came to nothing.
"Freya," Brando also turned around now, looked into Freya's light brown eyes, and said, "You want to protect the villagers of Butchi, if you just have the hope that after the war is over, everyone will get I’m afraid you will be disappointed with the naive and unrealistic idea of receiving awards and commendations, and then returning to your hometown together to return to your old life happily and peacefully.”
"Brando?"
"If you just have the idea of relying on others, you will become an outcast that the nobles will abandon after using you." He interrupted her and continued.
If Brando said this earlier, Freya would not believe it. But after seeing so much along the way, she more or less realized this, so the girl with a long ponytail hesitated and asked: "But what should I do, Brando?"
"Of course I have to grow up and become a person who can protect others." Brando replied.
"I understand, but I" Freya couldn't help but replied eagerly. She thought that she was just a small militia captain, how could she grow to the same level as those high-ranking nobles? After thinking about it again and again, the country girl still thought it was impossible.
"Are you worried that you can't do it?" he asked.
Freya nodded.
"Do not worry,
The opportunity will come soon, believe me, remember what I said? Brando smiled and replied.
Freya was stunned for a moment.
Brando understood, in fact, that he had not revealed his true plan. In fact, he hoped that this girl with a long ponytail could enter the Wangli Cavalry Academy, receive higher education, and learn the most orthodox command and tactical knowledge in the kingdom.
Because on the one hand, he did not want to change the path that the future Valkyrie had taken, and on the other hand, he really needed someone to enter the upper echelons of the kingdom.
From the current point of view, Roman has no such idea at all, and the only person who has an idea and whom he trusts is probably Freya.
In terms of safety, there is no need to consider it. The Royal Academy is located in Weilan, south of Anlek. It is one of the private territories of the royal family. It was one of the earliest territories that Her Royal Highness the Princess took control of during the December civil strife, so there will be no problem.
And this incident itself was of no harm to Freya.
Because in fact, Eruin's classical military command and tactics are not backward. The war-torn history has left many outstanding military commanders and tactical ideas to this country. However, its internal group has been too degenerate, resulting in the inability to carry out these legacies. That’s all.
Just like during the ZTE period, Eruin also had a group of outstanding young officers. And Brando believes that Efreya's seriousness will absorb knowledge like a sponge in this atmosphere. After she has accumulated enough experience, she will quickly emerge and attract the attention of the princess just like in history.
Brando remembers that historically it was in June of the following year, at the 64th Spear Skills Competition of the Wangli Cavalry Academy, that Freya met the eldest princess of Eruin. Maybe there will be some changes in history, but he, the butterfly, hasn't had time to flap his wings yet, so he thinks the changes won't be too big.
And in particular, he eagerly wanted to use Freya to understand what the future regent Princess Grifiin Korkova Manofi, who was just sixteen years old this year, was thinking.
Brando believes that there is no conflict of core interests between himself and the princess. She wants to revive the kingdom, and Brando also wants to try to change Eruin's final fate. Just how far can the genius of the Corcova family go? Brando was worried that the half-elf girl who was born in the royal family would not be able to let go of the interests of the nobles in the end.
But Brando is different. He still holds on to the dream left over from the game. He can't forget the like-minded companions who fought side by side with him in the past, and the scenes that happened in history.
Can he watch Eruin finally fall into the flames of war? I remember the day when the royal capital Menstros was captured. The palace and city were burning in flames, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. That day, he and many players were ordered to retreat from the north. Many people cried when looking back at their former homeland in the south on the road. Pass.
Time is too short for them to change.
Can he watch Freya fight with all her strength to die in the Red Canyon of Dalal? I remember that all of them fought desperately that day. He alone lost more than seven levels, and there were countless players like him.
But what is the result?
Brando looked at Freya, who had been looking away and not looking here. At this moment, the Valkyrie was still like the girl next door. At that time, she had been wearing a silver sunflower armor and holding a black pine leaf emblem embroidered in her hand. The square flag is known as the symbol of Eruin's courage.
But in the end, they still failed to protect the main flag. The Valkyrie in the silver armor finally died standing in that war. Perhaps she at least fulfilled her promise:
Shed every last drop of blood for this land.
It's a pity that Eruin is too weak and too old. The three legions stopped moving forward. Cruz's reinforcements stood aside and watched the decisive battle that day. Apart from Freya's own legion, there were only players except the players.
Thirty-six thousand players sworn to die are nothing more than pebbles in the way in front of Madara's army.
What about Princess Grifiine, who is known as the Pearl of Corcova and the Brilliant Star of Eruin? She married Grand Duke Anlek whom she did not like for the sake of the kingdom. She was depressed all her life and could not escape the return of all things in the end. The conspiracy of the society was killed in a murder.
In that world, the only players left in Eruin were them.
His past team leader, his seniors and seniors. It has been many years since I left the Amber Sword, but every time I talk about the past battles at a gathering, everyone still can't help but remain silent and their eyes bleed.
Eruin's spirit no longer exists.
Brando looked at Freya, then at Roman and the elderly Madden on his side. Can he tolerate this happening again? He shook his head. Maybe if he didn't know what was going to happen, he could choose to escape alone. With his knowledge of the world, he might create a legend.
It's a pity that God brought him to Eruin at the moment when the first Black Rose War broke out, and let him get to know Roman, Freya and everyone else involved in this history. Brando may understand that he has What kind of mission has it been shouldered?
If he wants to change history, he cannot take into account the interests of certain people. He will clear out everyone who stands in his way. But he also understood that there was a voice in his heart telling him: Brando, if you take this road, you may have to face the local nobles with deep roots in Eruin, including the five historical figures. Even the powerful Grand Duke, who is as proud as the Regent and the Princess, has to choose to compromise in front of them.
You may even have to face Madala, which is growing stronger and entering the most glorious period in history. Its talented generals are emerging in an endless stream, including Black Lord Instaron, One-eyed General Tagus, Immortal Wilander, and Pride of the Black Rose. Gust, the Imperial Sword Greta, and His Majesty the Emperor holding the mercury staff, all of them are unparalleled geniuses. How could a Valkyrie born from a commoner stand in the way of history? Even if you are included, So what?
In the north, the Cruz people are also watching everything indifferently. Brando, today's Eagle Empire is no longer the ancient, benevolent cradle of human civilization. The pride of the plateau people, the eleventh son of Emperor Grantu is presiding over a reform of iron and blood. The machine is playing powerfully, and taking the appearance of the earth slab as an opportunity, the third holy war will soon begin.
By that time, Madara, Cruz and even the northern kingdoms of Buga will be just pawns on a huge chess game, fighting for survival.
Are you really sure to face all this? Brando, if you choose this way, what Eruin will face is almost the entire world because you choose to stand on the opposite side of history.
But Brando shook his head and threw away the cold thoughts that were lingering in his mind. He had thought about all this when he led the group of refugees to fight their way out of Lidenburg. Even though he is facing a world, the pride in Brando's heart comes from the fact that he was once a player in this world. This identity is like a collection of countless figures in another world. It symbolizes a group of people's understanding of the original rules of this world. challenge.
There may be some arrogance in thinking this way.
But Brando believes that not trying to do it, just trying to do it, at least to make up for regrets.
So this wasn't just Freya's choice, it was his as well.
That's why he feels that time is pressing, and he must at least have some power and voice during the small period of peace between the end of the Black Rose War and the beginning of the civil strife in December. Any promotion path in this decadent system is unreliable. He doesn't have that time. In this troubled world, the only way to quickly gain the rights of a former chess player is to obtain territory and an army.
And he did have a plan.
The West, that dusty kingdom.
